Chapter 407: Breaking the Cocoon into a Butterfly

Twenty thousand Tiger Lux warriors, divided into four groups, walked the steep mountain road to the other side of the mountain, and they swore that this was the most difficult road they had ever walked, and that they had paid the price of hundreds of lives in order to conquer this dangerous road!

From Ma Chao down, including Wei Yan, all the people took off their helmets and stood silently by the mountain stream for a quarter of an hour, in this way to mourn for those comrades who fell into the mountain stream. After that, they put on their helmets again, put on their armor, and continued to embark on the road of advancement, they must break through to the back of Jiameng Pass in the shortest possible time, and create fighters for the main army, which is their mission and responsibility.

In the Hanzhong Mansion, Ao Lie looked at the topographic map of Xishu spread on the table, and said to Zhuge Liang and the others with concern: "This time there will definitely be casualties in the Tiger Lux team, I hope the casualties will not be too big." ”

Jia Xu stood up and comforted Ao Lie: "King Yan doesn't have to worry too much, in fact, in Yixu's opinion, it is not bad to take this opportunity to kill the sharpness of these elite soldiers in a hundred battles, the four elites of Blood Killing, Long Xiang, Tiger Ben and Qilin, have been invincible for a long time, and the arrogance of the soldiers has become in their hearts, and if this continues, there will be problems sooner or later, and now it is just enough for them to understand that there are some things, even if they are the elite of a hundred battles, if they want to do it, they must deal with it with all their hearts, and they need to pay a certain price to complete, From that point of view, it's also a good thing. ”

Ao Lie shook his head and sighed: "Having said that, XX also understands this truth, but after all, they are the elite carefully cultivated, and they didn't die on the battlefield, but they died between the mountains and mountains, and XX still feels a little pity." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and stood up and said: "Big brother, these elites are all cultivated by you, you know their abilities best, everyone is very confident in them, why is it only the eldest brother." To underestimate them? ”

Ao Lie was stunned for a moment, and then said: "How could X underestimate them......

Without waiting for Ao Lie's words to finish, Zhuge Liang intercepted and said: "That means that Liang and the others overestimated their combat effectiveness when formulating this plan?" ”

Ao Lie was dumbfounded by Zhuge Liang's question, yes, even Zhuge Liang and other advisers were full of confidence in the Tiger Warriors, why did he hesitate? A smile slowly appeared on his face, and Ao Lie said to Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, I understand what you mean. Xie Lu Xie. ”

Zhuge Liang's words are not only reminding Ao Lie that the more the Tiger Elite goes through hardships, the more it will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly and bloom with more dazzling brilliance, but during the period, he must experience the pains of growth, and he is also reminding Ao Lie that as the regent of the Northern Han Dynasty, he cannot look at the problem from a personal perspective. When dealing with any problem, there should be no emotion of concern and chaos, which will cause them to lose their due calm. Obviously, Ao Lie understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words. will say the words Xie Lu Xie.

Seeing that Ao Lie understood, Zhuge Liang and the others all showed knowing smiles. This is also one of the reasons why they are willing to let Ao Lie drive, Ao Lie has the courage to admit his mistakes and change them when he knows them. Able to listen to the advice of his subordinates, he is very humble, such a lord. in order to win the allegiance of the subordinate warriors.

On the other side, the tiger warriors who worried Ao Lie, under the leadership of Ma Chao and Wei Yan, crossed a turbulent river by armed swimming, and the lives of hundreds of people were taken away forever by the undercurrent when they swam in arms. After going ashore, Ma Chao took all the soldiers as usual, stood by the river, and mourned for a quarter of an hour for his comrades who died at the bottom of the river.

Continuous losses, so that all people understand a truth, they are not invincible heavenly soldiers, in the face of ruthless nature, they are just mortals, their hard-trained killing skills, far from enough to ensure that they survive in such a harsh environment, complete formation, at this moment, all the tiger warriors, while mourning for their dead comrades, also slowly put away the overly exuberant arrogance in their hearts, just like Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu they expected, It has taken a solid first step towards breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly.

After that, after twelve hours of non-stop trekking through mountains and rivers, Ma Chao finally took his troops, and finally reached the destination after paying a huge price of nearly 600 elite lives, which is also an extremely steep mountain, and the side of the mountain is behind Jiameng Pass, which is built by relying on the high mountain in front of him.

However, Ma Chao did not immediately let the soldiers climb the mountain, but ordered to unload the equipment and go into the mountains and forests to rest for two hours. Through this trek, Ma Chao also understood that the tiger warriors are human beings and not gods after all, they are not invincible, and after a long journey, they must be repaired so that the soldiers can recover their physical strength to cope with the next battle. Because behind this mountain is Jiameng Pass, there must be Shu soldiers stationed on the top of the mountain, if you want to quietly approach Jiameng Pass, you must kill the Shu soldiers stationed on the top of the mountain invisibly, with the current state of the Tiger Ben Warriors, to do this, although it is not impossible, but it is not guaranteed, so Ma Chao decided to rest for two hours, and wait for dark before taking action.

Taking advantage of the rest time of the soldiers, Ma Chao came to Wei Yan's side, and the two of them discussed the next action plan in a low voice. After a period of discussion, the two finally decided to adopt the tactics of two ways to advance and attack together, with Ma Chao leading half of the people to climb the mountain from the west, and Wei Yan leading the other half to climb the mountain from the east.

Two hours later, Ma Chao and Wei Yan called out to the resting soldiers, and then each took half of the people and went around to the east and west sides to start climbing according to the established plan......

On the top of the mountain, there are indeed Shu soldiers stationed, although no one will believe that the Han army can go around the back of Jiameng Pass, but Liu Bei still stationed a force of about 1,000 people on the top of the mountain to play the role of warning. For the civil and military officials in Shuzhong, they are all natives, they are very aware of the terrain near Jiameng Pass, and there is no way to reach the back of Jiameng Pass from Hanzhong, sparing the mountains and mountains, so they are very dissatisfied with Liu Bei's arrangement, and even the Shu soldiers who were stationed on the top of the mountain also think in their hearts, which also leads to the thousands of Shu soldiers being very lax, and even a basic patrol post is not placed.

When Ma Chao and his subordinates quietly came to the top of the mountain, they saw such a scene of lax defense. Ma Chao was afraid that it was the Shu soldiers' trick to lure the enemy, so he crouched in the grass and observed for a full quarter of an hour, and finally came to the conclusion in surprise that the laxity of the Shu soldiers was not pretended at all, but that their defense was so lax!

Coo-coo-coo-a few night owl calls, from the opposite side, the Shu soldiers stationed at the top of the mountain seem to have become accustomed to this kind of sound that will often sound, most of them did not even raise their heads, still lowered their heads, looking drowsy, only a few people raised their heads and glanced at the place where the sound came from, and after not finding anything abnormal, they stopped paying attention.

The Shu soldiers did not find any abnormalities, but Ma Chao could hear that the cries of the night owls just now were imitated by his subordinate tiger warriors, and the four elite troops under the command of Ao Lie have all received simulation training in this area, and everyone can vividly imitate the calls of several of the most common animals, and those who are gifted can even imitate more than ten kinds of calls.

Ma Chao lowered his voice and said to the soldiers beside him: "Wen Chang, they have arrived, send a signal, tell them that after ten breaths, launch an attack!" The tiger warrior who followed Ma Chao immediately puffed out his cheeks, also imitating the cry of the night owl, and conveyed Ma Chao's order to the other side.

In the grass opposite, after hearing Wei Yan's side clearly, Hu Ben Lux immediately whispered to Wei Yan: "General Wei, my general said that after ten breaths, launch an attack." Although Wei Yan was temporarily appointed as Ma Chao's deputy, he was not the general of the Tiger Ben Army after all, and as one of the four special operations forces, the Tiger Ben Army, the cuts and ciphers they used to use were extremely secretive, so Wei Yan knew very little, and he needed to explain to the people around him to understand the meaning of these cuts and ciphers.

Ten breaths of time, soon passed, Ma Chao and Wei Yan at the same time, rushed towards the drowsy more than a thousand Shu soldiers, behind them, the tiger warriors showed the Xizi hand crossbow, while rapidly approaching, while locking on their respective targets, before that, Ma Chao had already issued an order to kill with one blow, therefore, the hand crossbows in the hands of the tiger warriors were all aimed at the key points around the Shu soldiers!

Bang bang bang - a series of dense and slight crossbow vibrations sounded, they locked, as the target of the Shu soldiers, did not even have time to shout, was a three-inch long crossbow arrow through the heart, throat and other vital points, only a few people in the core of the Shu soldier camp, under the cover of the body of the peripheral companions, did not be affected by the crossbow, luckily survived, only one round of volleys, more than 1,000 Shu soldiers who were lax in defense were shot by the prepared tiger warriors nearly 700 people!

However, the remaining more than 300 Shu soldiers, they were not very lucky to survive the first round of crossbow shots, because next, they would bear the wrath of Ma Chao and Wei Yan, the two killing gods! The tiger head Zhan golden spear and the dragon tooth knife were raised by Ma Chao and Wei Yan at the same time, and the two of them crashed into the temporary camp set up by the Shu soldiers on the top of the mountain from both directions. (To be continued......)
