Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Man Who Stood in the Way
The previous move 'Cavalry Avalanche Snow Mountain' obviously failed, it had been snowing for so long, it was impossible to go far in the snow whether it was riding a horse or abandoning a horse, and the cavalry combat ability at this time may not be as good as that of a hunting dog.
If you want to get off to a good start first, you have to think long-term.
"Childe, you also know that the fortress on the west side of Jincheng already has a garrison of Xiqiang, and we have to bypass the pass of this road, if it doesn't snow, I will rush in directly with heavy cavalry, but now it obviously doesn't work, people don't come out, we have no way at all."
Cheng Liu continued: "Then according to what you mean, we have to find a way to get around?" ”
Wei Yan nodded, and at the same time pointed his index finger at the northwest side.
"This is another mountain range, after the heavy snow covers the mountain, we only need to cross this mountain, we can cross the fortress and go directly to their rear, but the question is, can our soldiers withstand the cold and can they hold on to the march for such a long time."
This problem is too big, the first thing to be clear is that if it is only a high mountain, it is fine, but after the snow, the mountain must be deprived of oxygen, according to the distance pointed out by Wei Yan, it is about thirty miles, if it is flat, it is fine, but you have to go up the mountain first, and then go down the mountain.
It takes a long time to replenish after the lack of oxygen, and once someone is unconscious, there is no way at all, and dragging a person away is very likely to kill a person.
It was impossible for Wei Yan not to know this truth, but from his eyes, Cheng Liu understood that this seemed to be the only feasible way.
"What I'm most worried about now is that after Xiqiang knew that we were coming, he also made two preparations, the middle fortress was released, just waiting for us to get in, and then the garrisons of the two passes in front of us attacked together, we just rushed down from the mountains, our physical strength was exhausted, the supply was insufficient, and we should have no power to fight back."
Cheng Liu nodded, and then said: "So after we enter the city, we must first have information about Xiqiang." ”
Wei Yan yawned, seeming a little tired.
"This is not in a hurry, as long as I have military power, I have the confidence that I can take these fortresses and passes together at one time."
Cheng Liu sighed, glanced at everyone, and said, "Let's rest first, I have to hurry tomorrow morning." ”
There was nothing to say all night, and Cheng Liu couldn't sleep in bed anyway.
However, Wei Yan slept like a dead pig, snoring everywhere, if there was really any assassin, it would be impossible to rely on him to protect him in the first place......
Following.
The heavy snow had stopped a bit, but the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow.
Before leaving, the shopkeeper also instructed that if you enter the city from this road, you must not deviate, I am afraid that there will be a snowstorm at night, and if you get lost in the snow, I am afraid that you will be frozen to death.
After the group was all tied, they finally set off in a mighty way.
The driver had a map in his hand, and because he didn't find a local guide, he was also very careful when he drove the car, worried that he would take his own life if he made a mistake.
Hurrying in the snow, everything seems to be the same.
Because since the heavy snow last night, the traces of people walking in front of them have been covered, and everywhere you look is the same color.
Wei Yan did not sit in the carriage, but rode a horse alone and walked in front, and after walking for a while, he had to stop and wait for the carriage to come, and then wait for the coachman to show the way, and then he continued forward.
It's slow, but it's a bit more secure.
Cheng Liu, who was sitting in the carriage, hugged the stove, his eyes were empty, and his mind was a mess.
Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well last night, but he always felt that the Ouroboros mark was always a strange feeling today.
This strange feeling is very verbal, Cheng Liu deliberately checked it when he got up in the morning, and did not find anything wrong, but after getting into the carriage, the feeling of discomfort became stronger and stronger.
In addition to Cheng Liu, there were also sweet potatoes and Xia Cicada sitting on one side of the carriage.
Originally, Jiang Xue wanted to follow, but there was really no place, and there was a stove in the middle, and the three of them were all squeezed.
Xia Chan was about to take the initiative to give up the carriage, but Jiang Xue didn't seem to be too embarrassed, so she sat in a carriage behind.
The disorganized Cheng Liu could only open the map in the end, and then look at the markers on it, according to the route of travel, Yu Yukui should be about to follow.
She and Gu Guan are together, and the danger is not great, but Gu Guan will delay a little longer because of his previous injury.
The carriage had only traveled about ten miles, and Wei Yan, who was at the front, suddenly stopped, and rode to the side of the carriage instead.
Cheng Liu opened the curtain and asked, "Why did you stop?" ”
"Childe, there's a person in front."
Is there one?
It's cold and snowy, and it's normal for any animal to appear, but it's not normal for a person to appear.
What's more, it's still morning, and it's really strange to run into this icy and snowy place so early.
"Do you see who it is?"
"It should be a hunter, but this is the boundary of Liangzhou, but looking at the other party's dress, it is a little like the clothes of the two Xiqiang people we saw yesterday, and there is also a mark totem behind his ear, which is somewhat similar to the woman yesterday."
Hearing this, Cheng Liu almost didn't stand up in the carriage.
"I really overestimated them, I really can't help it at this time, you let the people behind stop first, and I'll take a look with you."
Wei Yan shouted a few times to the back, and Hu Cong immediately stopped in place.
Jiang Xue ran over from behind, although she was stepping on the snow, she knew martial arts and was not limited much, and soon arrived at Cheng Liu's side.
"Why did you stop?"
Cheng Liu pointed to the person in front of him and said, "Someone is blocking the road." ”
Jiang Xue was about to move forward, but was pulled behind by Cheng Liu.
"Look at your hairy appearance, let's go together."
To tell the truth, Cheng Liu faintly noticed that the two people he saw yesterday may really have nothing to do with Luantang Mountain, and the people of Xiqiang may also have lurking hooks in the palace, and they have already released the news in advance, so they appeared in the right place at the right time, just stopping them.
And the person in front of him seems to be trying to stop his pace of going to Jincheng, but after thinking about it, what are they trying to do?
Could it be that Cheng Liu's resounding reputation has spread to Xiqiang?
Although Cheng Liu is confident, he is not narcissistic, and the people in the palace know very little about themselves, let alone outsiders.
Then there is only one possibility, someone unites with Xiqiang, or it is more appropriate to arch fire, to stop him from Jincheng.
When Cheng Liu thought about it, he suddenly felt that Luan Tangshan was the most suspicious, which was really head-scratching.
