In the desperate gorge, Miao Qi's men and horses walked through with difficulty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first two checkpoints, the steep cliff and the water sawa, took three days to pass at a very small cost, but the Desperate Gorge was not easy to pass.

The Desperate Gorge is not only narrow and difficult to navigate, but also entrenched with poisonous snakes, and groups of poisonous snakes can be seen everywhere in the rocky piles, and the mountain walls are also full of poisonous snakes, which makes people feel numb and frightened when they see their scalps.

Miao Qiju will study countermeasures, but no one has a good way, so it can be said that there is no way.

If they are all cultivators above the martial arts level, they are not afraid of these poisonous snakes, but the sergeants are not all cultivators.

Five days had passed, and they had only brought ten days of dry food with them, and if they couldn't cross the Desperate Gorge, they wouldn't have enough food to return to the barracks.

Just when everyone was anxious, Miao Kun arrived, and he brought a large amount of realgar powder, but these alone were not enough to get rid of the snakes, after all, this is their entrenchment.

Fortunately, Miao Qi was prepared, everyone brought an oiled coat, a raincoat made of oilcloth, and rain pants, put them on, tied the combat boots and rain pants tightly with ropes, brought makeshift oilcloth gloves, tied the cuffs and necklines, made a mask with oilcloth, and then painted the raincoat with realgar powder, holding a weapon in one hand and a wooden stick in the other.

Weapons cannot be lost, and wooden sticks are ready to help those in front of them pick out snakes that fall on their bodies.

So after everyone had eaten their fill, they walked into the canyon in turn.

The distance between the two is no more than two steps.

If you encounter a situation, you can use a wooden stick to knock on the person in front of you to remind you, and you can also pick off the snake on the person in front.

Miao Qi's strict order is not to kill the snake unless he has to, because he is prepared to provoke the snake king, and it will be a great disaster.

More than 30 miles have to be walked in one go, so before entering the canyon, everyone eats more dry food, and it is impossible to eat in the middle.

In this way, under the leadership of Miao Qi, the army cautiously began to cross the Desperate Gorge.

After a full day of walking for thirty miles, I finally walked out of the Desperate Gorge before dark.

Miao Qi asked people to set up camp and count the number of people, and later the generals at all levels reported the losses.

After hearing this, Miao Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the loss was not big, and more than a dozen people were injured by falling rocks and devoured by a group of snakes and died.

The reason why you walk slowly and cautiously in the Desperate Gorge is that you are afraid of being injured, and once you are injured and bleeding, you will be targeted by a group of snakes, and there is no possibility of survival.

Realgar powder can only make the poisonous snakes here taboo, and it will never play the role of poisonous snakes not daring to attack you.

As long as you are careful and try to avoid poisonous snakes, they will not attack you because of the male yellow powder.

"It's a miracle. ”

Ma Kui sighed.

"It's lucky. ”

Ban Chao thinks it's lucky.

Miao Qi didn't say anything, he knew that this was the luck of being well prepared, he and the ancestor had surveyed here, and they were well prepared, and the ancestor released the coercion of the peak of the divine master, and deterred those snake kings who were about to move, so that they could pass safely.

Miao Kun sat in the camp tent to recover his vitality, this journey made him consume a lot, if the Desperate Gorge was longer, he really couldn't hold on.

Unbeknownst to the sergeants, a Patronus was following them above them.

After resting all night, as soon as it was dawn the next day, Miao Qi convened the generals to discuss the matter.

"There is a small city more than 200 miles away from here, and the dry food we bring can last for about four days, so our first goal is to capture this small city and seize the grain, there are no people in this area, and there is no road, although the straight-line distance is only more than 200 miles, but in this barren mountain range, it is conservatively estimated that it is difficult to reach the small city within four days, please come over is to brainstorm and see what good way there is. ”

Everyone looked around the map, and for a moment only the heavy and chaotic gasps could be heard in the big tent.

For a long time, the dull atmosphere was broken by Ma Kui.

"General, this map doesn't look so precise, and you can't see anything on it, and now the only way is to send someone to explore the way. ”

This map is only sketched by the Red Evil, and it is indeed not precise, and it is not easy to find a way in this strange place, but there is really no good way to do it at present.

"Ban Chao. ”

"The end will be. ”

"Let you choose the sergeant who lives in front of the whole army to explore the way, five hundred people are the best, you go first. ”

"Wow. ”

"Gaude Mountain. ”

"In. ”

"Let you lead the vanguard of 5,000 people to follow up, and build bridges in the mountains and rivers. ”

"Wow. ”

The generals dispersed, and the whole army marched forward.

、、、、、、、、、、、、、

Five days later, at noon, a group of unarmored troops suddenly appeared at the north gate of Beigou City, and their appearance made the residents of Beigou City and the city defense army stunned for a while.

"Where did this beggar soldier come from?"

The city wall of Beigou City is more than one zhang high, to put it bluntly, it is a soil enclosure, there is a plank road slightly lower than the city wall, if you encounter a demon beast attacking the city, the defending sergeant will go up to the plank road, relying on the half-human high earth wall to attack the demon beast.

There is no beast tide at the moment, so there is no one on the plank road.

Although the small city is small, there are also four city gates, all of which are made of thick trees with bowl mouths, which will be closed at night, and will be opened at dawn, because it is in the interior of Luoling, and it is very remote, except for demon beasts, it has never been attacked, so the defense is lax.

It was noon, the people who went out of the city to work rushed back to the city to rest and have lunch, there were many pedestrians, oxen and carriages, and the vanguard army of Banchao Gaode Mountain appeared, which did not cause panic, but caused surprise, and the city guards and pedestrians guarding the city gate pointed and discussed.

"Brethren, lunch is in the city, cheer up and rush into the city, and do not kill innocents indiscriminately unless they meet with stubborn resistance. ”

Ban Chao turned back to his subordinates and commanded.

"General Ban, we really hope that if we don't meet resistance, we will be hungry, how can we have the strength to kill. ”

Needless to say, there were difficulties and obstacles along the way, but at last there was no fork in the road, and I found the small town, but there was no food, and the hungry sergeants were shaking when they walked.

"If it's not prepared, it will save some effort. ”

Gao Deshan observed the opposite Ban Chaodao.

There is no suspense, the vanguard army occupied Beigou City without encountering much resistance, and the city defense army of Beigou City was still confused as prisoners, not knowing which passers-by these beggar troops were.

The vanguard army was more than 1,000 people.

They were the five hundred people led by Ban Chao, who explored the path first, because Ban Chao encountered a group of demon beasts, and rushed over to support more than five hundred people led by Gao Deshan.

The brigade was still nearly half a day behind.

After occupying the small city, finding food in the city lord's mansion, and having eaten and drunk, Ban Chao divided the men into four teams to guard the four city gates.

It's also quite interesting, Beigou City was not panicked by the arrival of Ban Chao's thousand people, and no one fled Beigou City, and the city lord Huang Zheng also helped maintain order, Zhang Luo cooked, and prepared to meet the army that was coming soon.

Ban Chao was curious and inquired about it, and then he knew what was going on、、、、、
