Everyone's good mood did not last long, the trees and grass on the mountain became more and more dense, and there were cliffs and deep ravines, which brought great inconvenience to everyone's progress.

This time, we had to climb this mountain, and everyone had already considered the difficulties very well, so we made sufficient preparations in advance.

These fiefdom soldiers, before joining the army, were engaged in various occupations. This time, due to the special situation, Yang Yun and the others specially gathered the soldiers who were woodcutters before joining the army, and specially equipped them with firewood knives made of the best steel, so that they could cut off the bushes and branches that stopped everyone in the way.

At the same time, the large amount of rope they brought with them also came in handy, and sometimes the road was too steep, and some soldiers with nimble legs and feet would climb to the top of the slope first, and then throw down the ropes to help everyone on their way. In this link, Liu Haini's "bandits" came in handy.

They often walk in the mountains, and their ability to climb mountains is particularly strong, and whenever they encounter the most difficult road conditions, they always rush to the front, the first to go up to the top of the slope, and throw the rope for everyone.

In this way, with the unity of everyone, more than 30,000 people went all the way and climbed one mountain peak after another. It was a happy thing to conquer these peaks, but what made everyone even happier was that in the past two days, although they had encountered many difficulties, there was not a single casualty soldier.

Now, everyone stayed in a valley and chose a sheltered location to camp and rest, but Yang Yun couldn't sit still, he took Ju Yuanguang, Yao Xia, Liu Yuan, Liu Haini and Zhu Chenan and other people who were responsible for leading the team this time, looking at a snowy peak in the distance, with a sad look on his face.

To successfully pass through this mountainous area to reach the state of Chu, this peak must be turned, according to the locals, this mountain is called the "snow cover top" by the locals, the snow on the mountain does not melt all year round, there is still a lot of dark ice on the ground, plus there are almost no roads to walk, for so many years, I have not heard of anyone climbing this peak.

Standing in the middle of the valley, Yang Yun looked at the mountain, from the visual point of view, from the canyon where they were. To the summit of this mountain, the vertical height is estimated to be three or four thousand meters, and it is too difficult to conquer this mountain under such backward conditions.

After gathering a few locals and carefully analyzing the terrain together, everyone finally formulated the most reasonable route so far, and prepared to rest in the valley for a day, and then set out on the mountaineering road when everyone was recuperated.

When I set off on the second day, although I didn't see the sun, there was no rain or snow, but it was a good weather for the road. So, early in the morning, everyone packed up and embarked on the most difficult part of the trip.

The road in the morning is quite easy to walk, although the mountain road is still a little slippery, but you can finally see the road, know where it is safer to step on, where to stand there will be danger?

However, after noon, everyone ran into even greater trouble. Because further up, the mountains are covered with snow, although so far, the snow is not thick, but everywhere is white, so that everyone can no longer see the road under their feet.

When you get to this place, very few people have been there, and even the local guides don't know how to get there. Therefore, everyone had to let people use sticks to explore the road in front of them first, and the team behind them followed slowly, but the speed of walking forward was much slower.

When it gets dark, you can't go any further, because in such a big mountain, if you want to walk at night, you are very likely to fall and die under the cliff. Yang Yun also knew that this matter could not be forced, so he let everyone camp here.

When I was camping, I ran into trouble again, this snow-covered slope was not as flat as the ground, and it was very difficult to find a place to camp, a hundred and ten people were better, but now there were tens of thousands. There was no way, Yang Yun had to let everyone be responsible for their subordinates, scatter and find a suitable place to build a camp.

As a result, only a few people can find a sheltered place to build a shed to rest, while the vast majority of people can only find a flat land at random, or even build a simple shed against the slope. At night, everyone huddles together, relying on each other's body temperature to resist the cold wind that keeps blowing in.

Fortunately, before leaving, everyone thought about such a situation, and everyone brought several pieces of ginger with them. At this time, I boiled some ginger soup, and after everyone drank it, I suddenly felt a lot warmer.

Although it was very cold to sleep in this mountain, the people who had been tired all day still shivered and fell asleep.

Perhaps God wanted to test them more, and in the middle of the night, it snowed in the sky, and flakes of snow fell on everyone's tents, making the roof of the shed turn white.

At dawn, everyone got up and looked around helplessly, and the snow here was much thicker than yesterday. Even the footprints of yesterday were submerged without a trace.

At dawn, everyone hurriedly drank some hot ginger soup, ate some dry food, and set out on the journey again. As the snow gets thicker and thicker, every step on the snow will sink your feet deep into the snow.

At this time, the surrounding area became a white expanse, and some icicles could already be seen on the cliffs, and on the branches, there were still ice bars hanging from them, like long transparent leaves. But at this moment, everyone is no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery, but just reminds each other to move forward step by step.

Originally, there was also the danger of walking in such a large mountain, that is, encountering all kinds of ferocious beasts. But the people did not have these worries, because tens of thousands of people came to this mountain, and those who were supposed to be kings and rulers in this mountain. Seeing so many people coming to their homes, they didn't dare to let go of their farts, so they had to flee in disgrace.

However, the road under the feet, which was covered in snow and was completely unvisible, became the greatest danger in front of everyone.

Suddenly, a long scream could only be heard in front of him, and everyone's eyes immediately looked forward, only to see a soldier who was exploring the way in front of him, accidentally stepped into the air, and rolled all the way to the bottom of the cliff.

The people nearby didn't have time to rescue him, so they had to watch his figure, falling farther and farther down the cliff until they were finally out of sight.

In an instant, the people around them were quiet, and although they encountered a lot of trouble, everyone knew in advance that casualties were inevitable. But this is a living thing happening in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone still feels very uncomfortable, and everyone does not speak, just quietly looks at the direction in which the soldier fell.

"The bolt is good, the people of the fief will not forget him, and his old lady's fief will definitely be raised for him. Be careful, everybody, and move on! Sharp-eyed and careful, we want to complete the mission and hope that everyone walks out of this damn mountain safely. ”

It was a soldier under Liu Haini who fell, and in this case, there was no way for everyone to save him. Liu Haini had no choice but to wipe away the tears from her eyes and tell the other soldiers.

Since these soldiers have chosen to go on the expedition, they are ready to die, and at this moment, they can only put away their sadness and continue to embark on the road forward.

The further up we went, the worse the conditions became, the more difficult the road became, and several more soldiers who were exploring the path rolled down the cliff and remained in the mountain forever.

This situation attracted the attention of Yang Yun in the back, and finally he handed over a way to everyone, the soldiers who explored the path were in groups of four or five, and they tied ropes around their waists with each other and strung them together. When encountering a particularly dangerous section of the road, one person will explore the road first, and the rest of the people will be responsible for protection in the rear.

Yang Yun's method really worked at this time, when someone unfortunately slid down the mountain, the other people grabbed the rope around their waist and pulled him up vigorously, so that there was finally no tragedy of someone falling off the cliff.

The further up you go, the more difficult it is to camp, with rain and snow everywhere, and it is difficult to find a place to dry a little. I even wanted to dry the firewood earlier, but the firewood was wet everywhere. Not to mention the roasting fire, due to the shortage of dry firewood, even drinking a little hot ginger soup has become a luxury now.

Camping places are also becoming more and more difficult, and on the hillsides, it is now almost impossible to find a level place for people to pitch their tents. In the end, some of the soldiers simply gathered in a tight circle, leaning on the trunk of the tree for a night.

In this case, even the iron-beaten body could get sick, and as the time traveled increased, the number of sick soldiers began to increase. But in this case, even if you are sick, you can't rest in place, and when the team moves forward, you have to continue to move forward with the help of your comrades, and in this case, it is inevitable that there will be people who fall behind.

Some people fell behind and were discovered by the soldiers in front of them, or carried on their backs or carried on everyone's back, but there were also others who could no longer keep up with the footsteps of the large group, and in this case dragged behind, of course, there was only one ending.

It took everyone four days to climb to the top of this big mountain alone. When we were still a mile or two away from the top of the mountain, another thing happened that made everyone despair.

Because everyone is climbing too high now, the air in the plateau area is thin, and the climate is very cold, all the fire folds can't be ignited. This time it's troublesome, without fire, not only can you not get warm, but you can't even drink a sip of hot water.

Not only that, everyone opened their water bladder and wanted to take a sip of water, but found that the water in the faucet had frozen into ice cubes at this time, and they couldn't suck it out no matter how they drank it.

There was no way, Yang Yun had to take everyone in person, a mouthful of dry food and a mouthful of snow, and the unbearable cold barely filled his stomach.

Looking at Yang Yun like this, Yao Xia was in a hurry, he gritted his teeth and put the water bladder into his arms, melted a little water with his body temperature, and handed it to Yang Yun to quench his thirst.

But Yang Yun resolutely refused, Yao Xia's kindness, and he didn't want to take a sip of death.

Now it is not far from the peak of this kind of snow peak, according to Yang Yun's estimate, the position they occupy now should be at least four or five thousand meters above sea level!

At this time, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the wind is still blowing like a knife in everyone's faces. What is even more painful is that the air on the top of this mountain is getting thinner and thinner, and everyone is out of breath after not being able to walk a few steps.

Some people also have headache, dizziness, palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, chest pain, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, numbness in the hands and feet, and other severe altitude sickness.

Faced with this situation, Yang Yun had no choice but to introduce some medicinal herbs to everyone, and there was no heat, so he could only chew the rhizomes of these medicines directly in his mouth and swallow them. But even so, there are still some people who have reacted particularly strongly and lost their lives.

At noon on the fifth day, after paying for the lives of nearly 100 people, everyone finally climbed to the top of the mountain and stopped at a relatively wide area on the top of the mountain. But at this moment, everyone had no interest in celebrating the victory, so they had to hurriedly find a place to rest immediately.
