Chapter 406: Unstoppable
In the early morning of the next day, Ao Lie came to the military academy in Hanzhong City with the rising sun, where 20,000 tiger warriors had lined up in a strict formation under the command of Ma Chao, ready to set off at any time.
Last night, after talking with Zhang Song, Zhang Song rushed back to Jiamengguan overnight, after all, if he stayed outside for too long, it would be easy for Liu Bei to find out. After Zhang Song left, Ao Lie and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xun Yu and Jia Xu stayed up for half a night, and worked out a set of somewhat risky combat plans, as Ao Lie said, wealth and danger are sought, for the safety of the lives of most Han soldiers, Ao Lie can only let the elite of the tiger Ben, through the looming path drawn on Zhang Song's map, copy to the back of Jiameng Pass to fight behind the enemy, from the back to attract Liu Bei's attention, for the army to launch a strong attack on Jiameng Pass to create a fighter.
Copying the path to the back of the enemy, this is not a rare thing in the Han army's battle examples, but this time it is fighting in Yizhou, where there are mountains and mountains everywhere, even Zhang Song, a native and unforgettable local, can not completely draw out the road, want to pass, the difficulty can be imagined, so the task of breaking through behind the enemy line this time is arduous, which is full of all kinds of unknown dangers, and there may even be non-combat attrition, such as falling into the abyss or something, but Ao Lie believes, With the elite courage and physical fitness of the tiger ben, it is not too difficult to overcome these difficulties.
"Soldiers, do you all know what predicament you are going to face?" Under the reflection of the rising sun, the golden dragon roaring heavenly armor on Ao Lie's body scattered the golden light of the Dao, reflecting Ao Lie as if he was descending from the heavens. In this golden light, he opened his mouth and asked the twenty thousand tiger elites.
In the face of Ao Lie's question, the Tiger Lux used their own unique slogan to roar the answer out of their chests: "The power of the Tiger Ben, there is death and no life!" The roar of the 20,000 Tiger Lux was full of fearlessness. It seems that what they are about to cross is not a dangerous road full of unknown dangers, but a broad road.
"Okay, I won't say much superfluous, Wei Yan, you once took a dangerous road to kill the Wuhuan Cliff King, you are more experienced in this area, this time you will temporarily serve as Meng Qi's deputy, and lead the army to go together!" Ao Lie looked at Wei Yan behind Ma Chao and said such a sentence.
Originally, Wei Yan was still strange. Hu Ben Lux is an elite army, and their commander is Ma Chao, why did he call himself here, now Wei Yanquan understands, Ao Lie's words not only solved the doubts in his heart, but also filled him with joy. Why would Wei Yan be pleased? Because Wei Yan was originally a very utilitarian person, he hadn't fought for a long time, and he hadn't been rewarded by Ao Lie for a long time, of course, Wei Yan didn't value those rewards. Instead, he wanted to get Ao Lie more attention, so as to pave the way forward for his future career, and at the same time, Ao Lie deliberately mentioned his past example of killing the Wuhuan Cliff King. This shows that Wei Yan still has a certain status in Ao Lie's heart, and his past exploits are clearly remembered by Ao Lie.
Take a step forward with joy. Fighting side by side with Ma Chao, Wei Yan roared loudly: "King Xie Yan is heavy!" A certain must do his best to lead his troops behind enemy lines with General Meng Qi! ”
Ao Lie nodded. Pulling out the red and blood-red Divine Sword from his waist, the blade pointed directly at the rising sun in the sky, and ordered loudly: "Go!" ”
Ma Chao and Wei Yan gave Ao Lie a standard military salute at the same time, then raised their right fists and slapped them heavily on their left chest, and the armor on the chest of the blow rang out. Ao Lie used the same way to make the same move to the two people who were about to set off. This is the unique etiquette that belongs to the fearless Han army, and it is the etiquette that belongs to real men.
Ma Chao and Wei Yan led 20,000 tiger warriors to bid farewell to Ao Lie, and according to the local topographic map drawn by Zhuge Liang, they left Hanzhong and advanced towards the back of Jiameng Pass.
After running for more than 20 miles, Ma Chao turned the reins and led Sha Lifei, who was sitting down, into a steep mountain. Wei Yan and Hu Ben Lux followed closely behind and entered the mountain one after another. According to the map drawn by Zhang Song and copied by Zhuge Liang, they need to cross this mountain, pass through an unknown turbulent river, and then trek thirty miles to reach their destination, and in this big mountain, there is a section of road that is not shown on the map, there, it means that it is rugged and difficult, it means that it is full of thorns, and it means that it is full of dangers, but Ma Chao did not hesitate at all, and led the troops to stride towards the road ahead.
After walking for more than an hour after entering the mountain, Ma Chao stopped, lowered his head and carefully studied the map in his hand, and then raised his head again to constantly compare the surrounding references, as if looking for the direction to move next. After Wei Yan saw Ma Chao's movements, he rode his horse to Ma Chao's side and asked in a low voice, "Is there no road on the map?" ”
Ma Chao nodded, pointed to the map and said: "Wen Chang, you see, the road on the map is gone here, according to the second brother's special scale, we have to go through a road of more than ten miles before we can continue to follow the instructions on the map, before that, there is no road on the map, we need to find the road ourselves." ”
Wei Yan listened to Ma Chao's words, while scanning his gaze back and forth on the map and the surrounding references, and after ten breaths, Wei Yan firmly pointed to a looming path near the edge of the cliff and said, "It must be here!" ”
Ma Chao looked in the direction pointed by Wei Yan and found a winding mountain path that was only two feet long and could accommodate one person at most, nestled on the halfway side of the high mountain, with a hard cliff on one side and a cliff dozens of zhang high on the other! Walking on this path, if you are not careful, you will fall under the cliff and fall to pieces.
Slowly exhaling a breath, Ma Chao nodded and said, "That's right, it should be here." Then, Ma Chao turned around and shouted to the tiger warrior behind him: "Give you a quarter of an hour, take off your armor and carry it on your back, quick!" Under Ma Chao's order, the 20,000 Tiger Warriors immediately took action, untied the heavy three layers of Mingguang armor on their bodies, layer by layer, and then stacked the parts on the armor together according to the size of the volume, and then used the cloth bag they carried with them to wrap the armor into a large ball, carried it on their backs, and tied it firmly to their bodies with ropes.
Ma Chao did this in order to reduce the burden on the tiger wrestlers, regardless of the weight of the armor, whether it was worn on the body. The weight on the back is still the same, but wearing it on the body will still affect the agility of the tiger Lux to some extent, and the mountain road is only more than two feet wide, if these armors are worn on the body, it will take up too much area, and it will increase the danger of walking through this mountain road.
Turning his head to look at Wei Yan, Ma Chao asked in a low voice, "Which of us is leading the way in front?" Wei Yan was stunned, patted his chest and replied: "You are the main general, you should have been guarding the Chinese army, of course you went ahead." Is there any doubt about this? When Ma Chao heard this, he didn't say anything more, after all, Wei Yan still had more experience than himself in walking mountain roads, and reached out and patted Wei Yan's shoulder and said, "Then it's hard work, let's go." ”
Wei Yan nodded, then clenched the dragon tooth knife that Ao Lie had given him in his hand, raised the knife and shouted, "Warriors! Go with the flow! Twenty thousand tiger wilfords agreed loudly. followed Wei Yan and walked towards the dangerous road like a moat.
Wei Yan held a knife in one hand and led his war horse in the other, and took the lead in stepping on the dangerous road in the mountains. After stepping on the rocks on the road hard, he felt that he was quite sturdy, and there was no problem in bearing the weight of the war horse, and then he stepped forward. Following Wei Yan. The tiger wrestlers followed Wei Yan and slowly walked onto this dangerous road.
After waiting for thousands of Tiger Lux to take the dangerous road, Ma Chao led Sha Lifei. Came to the edge of the cliff, looked intently at the soldiers who walked up the cliff in the first part, and shouted to the other tiger warriors behind him: "Get ready, follow a certain forward later!" Because Ma Chao didn't know how much weight the dangerous road could carry, he didn't let everyone move forward at the same time, but chose the safe way of moving forward in batches.
Suddenly, Ma Chao's eyes contracted violently, because he saw that a tiger warrior slipped under his feet, and one of his footings was unstable, and he slipped off the steep mountain road and fell straight down the cliff. This tiger warrior did not let out a panicked cry, not even a trace of sound, this is a common feature of the four elite units of the Han army, in the face of death, they never shouted at the weak!
If it was on the battlefield, when the tiger was facing imminent death, he would definitely use all the strength of his body to shout the unique slogan of "there is death and no life" of the tiger army, but now, this tiger warrior who fell off the cliff, in order not to attract the attention of other brothers, did not make the slightest sound, lest anyone else be distracted by his shouts and slide down the mountain stream like himself.
Ma Chao watched the old subordinate fall to the bottom in an instant with a very fast acceleration, and his heart suddenly surged with two completely different complex emotions, pride and regret, he regretted that this tiger warrior did not die on the battlefield, but died in this unknown mountain stream, but at the same time, he was also proud of the respectable behavior of this tiger warrior who remained silent before he died! Only a fearless person would face death so calmly!
Slowly taking off the lion helmet, Ma Chao turned around and saw that the tiger warriors behind him had also taken off their helmets silently, and many people's eyes were full of tears, and they endured it so that the tears did not fall. Obviously, they had seen the scene just now, but not to distract their brother who was walking on the cliff, and none of them let out a single exclamation.
"Remember, nothing can stop us in our path except aging and dying! This is the courage that you should have as an elite soldier of a big man and an elite tiger! Ma Chao's eyes were also moist, but his tone was still firm.
The tiger warriors who did not walk on the cliff silently raised their right fists and hit them heavily on their left chest, which was no longer protected by armor, and verified Ma Chao's words with their iron bones. They, as Ma Chao said, are the elite soldiers of the Han Dynasty and the elite of the tigers, except for aging and death, nothing can stop them from moving forward! No, even death still can't stop their determination to move forward, the tiger warrior who fell into the mountain stream just now has proved this with his own actions, and his soul will definitely return to his former comrades and brothers, and the brothers who are still alive, all the way forward!
