In the evening, the king of Han's tent.

Liu Bang called Deng Yulong over for dinner.

When facing the generals during the day, Liu Bang seemed to be in a good mood, but at this time he showed a worried look, and didn't say much during the meal, just asked Deng Yulong to eat as much as possible.

Deng Yulong is not worried, there are too many uncertain factors in the war, even if Liu Bangbing was out of the customs in the original history, he successfully took Chen Cang, but after all, it was only the original history, and when he came to this time and space, it was different from the original history.

Although the probability of success is high in theory, as long as it has not become a fact, who is sure that it will definitely succeed.

In modern times, when you look at history, it's just a story, and when you go there and experience it yourself, it's no longer a story.

After eating enough, Liu Bang was even more worried, and said, "Deng Aiqing! I'm worried! If they can't complete the task, it's not a good situation! ”

Deng Yulong said: "King Han don't worry! From the day you canonized him as a general, the minister has been preparing for this, and the minister believes that the people he has selected and trained will definitely succeed in infusing them. ”

Although he was equally worried, he couldn't say it like Liu Bang. Sometimes, the monarch can express his emotions in front of his courtiers, but as a courtier, he cannot do this in front of the monarch, and the courtiers must give the monarch confidence.

Liu Bang got up from his seat and took a few steps back and forth: "You are right, the widow wants to compete with Xiang Yu for the world, this is a big gamble, there is no gamble that will definitely win." Deng Aiqing, you have done a good job, wait and see, it's not too early, go back and rest early. ”

Deng Yulong came out of the king's tent, returned to the handsome tent, tossed and turned on the bed, and didn't know how long it took to fall asleep.

——————

The western part of Chencang, a primeval jungle.

The night was deep, the forest was silent, and the Han officers and soldiers who had worked hard all day slept in the open air in this forest at night.

After dawn, I got up and continued my journey, and when I was hungry, I ate the dry food I brought.

Before the sun set, I arrived at the edge of the cliff that Cao Erxi said, and according to the straight-line distance from the first time I entered the mountain to Chencang, I walked about half of the journey.

As far as the eye can see, the ravines ahead are crisscrossed and the mountains are steep, and it is certain that it will be extremely difficult to climb over the past.

Thousands of soldiers, looking at this steep mountain forest, were shocked in their hearts, and if they wanted to climb over the past, they would lose their lives if they didn't do well.

Han Xin sighed, it was precisely because of such terrain that the defenders of Chencang thought that it was impossible for the Han army to appear from the west, so they could take it by surprise.

Guan Ying faced the soldiers and said loudly: "Everyone has seen that it is difficult to climb the mountains in front, the general has entrusted us with a heavy task, we must resolutely complete the task, we must not live up to his trust, let alone live up to the expectations of the King of Han." ”

Han Xin added: "Soldiers, everyone was originally from Qin, and only by crossing the past can they raid Chen Cang and eradicate the Qin traitors. ”

The morale of the Han army itself is good, and the words of the two make them even more emotional.

It began to get dark, and the soldiers of the Han army slept out for another night.

The next morning, the difficult journey began.

The soldiers tied ropes to the trunks of trees near the cliffs, and groups of soldiers grabbed the ropes in an orderly manner according to the Dubo and the military waiters.

It is not difficult to descend from the cliff, as long as you can hold the rope steadily, accidents are rare.

When there were only two people left, the two men untied the rope and threw it down, leaving only the last one, and the two came down from the cliff.

Underneath the cliffs, there are no traces of human activity at all.

In front, there is a mountain, mainly rocky, the trees are not luxuriant, fortunately, although the mountain is a little steep, but it is not a big problem to climb over the past, and you can go around this mountain after going up to the halfway point of the mountain.

From the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain, the soldiers marched slowly, and at a certain point, they had to climb over the cliff, which had only a jut slightly larger than the soles of their feet to tread.

The soldiers passed one by one in order, their feet on the protrusions of the cliff, grasping the objects on the cliff with both hands, and carefully passing over.

Suddenly, a scream of "Ahh

The baby reminded: "Don't look down when you go. ”

Despite this, there are still occasional people who accidentally fall.

It took half a day to successfully climb the mountain, and in the process, a total of seventy-six soldiers fell to their deaths.

In the afternoon, a steep cliff stood in front of the soldiers, and judging from the surrounding environment, it was impossible to get around it, and only by climbing over this cliff could we continue to advance.

Looking up from the bottom of the cliff, there are dozens of zhang high, the slope is large, there are protruding stones on the cliff, and there are small trees growing out.

Even if the soldiers are hunters and have stronger climbing ability than ordinary people, although it is not absolutely impossible to climb the cliff, it is particularly difficult, and it can be said that it is a life of nine deaths.

To climb over this cliff, someone needs to climb up with a rope, then tie the rope to the trunk of a tree, and then the army climbs up.

Scanning the thousands of soldiers, Guan Ying asked loudly, "Who wants to climb up?" ”

This is a life of nine deaths, if you want to kill the enemy, some people will volunteer, but to take the lead in climbing the cliff, everyone hesitates.

Guan Ying said: "Since no one responds, Fan Dutong, you will assign someone to go up." ”

Fan Mu pointed to a chief and said, "You and your subordinates, climb up." ”

In the army, military discipline is strict, and the boss has indicated that you want to go up, and you can't go up.

Shi Chang and eighteen subordinates, each with a rope looped around their shoulders, observed the cliff for a while, and then began to climb.

The soldiers stepped on the protrusion of the cliff where they could settle down, grasped the protrusion with both hands, and slowly climbed up, and the process of climbing was full of dangers.

Suddenly, a small rock under the foot of a soldier fell off and fell to the bottom of the cliff, and several soldiers went to inspect it, but they could not survive.

"Ahh

The soldiers below all looked at the dozen or so people who were climbing, and they were all worried about them.

Next, soldier after soldier fell from the cliff.

The last soldier fell when he climbed to sixty percent of the height of the cliff.

Nineteen soldiers, who did not die on the battlefield, gave their lives on the way forward.

Before leaving, Deng Yulong specifically said that even if he died in an accident during the march, he would be treated as killed in battle, and his family would be given a pension.

Faced with such a situation, Han Xin took the initiative to stand up.

"Climbing is the strength of the Tiance Army, and this most difficult thing will be handed over to the Tiance Army."

Han Xin pointed to a Wu chief and said, "You, take your subordinates to climb up." ”
