Chapter 518: Smuggling

Yinping Road is uninhabited within a radius of 700 miles.

The mountains and giant trees stretch out into the sky and clouds, and the mountain roads are steep and only allow one person to pass, and there are no roads at all in many places.

Although Du made many arrangements, the steepness of the road was still beyond his imagination.

It is difficult for flying apes to cross, and it is difficult for cranes to fly.

Towering ancient trees shade the sky.

Outside the mountain is a cold winter, the wind and snow are calling, but the mountain road is not very cold, the wind and snow are blocked by the cliffs and primeval forests, making this place like early spring.

Historically, Deng Ai's smuggling was usually winter, and it was the coldest time in October.

The army dug the mountain passage, built a bridge when encountering water, and saw the cliff laying the plank road, although it was slow, but it has been advancing towards Shuzhong.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers were born in Qiang, and they walked on flat ground in the mountains and forests.

Every time the road is nearing its end, they always find a new way.

"Ahh

There were a few long screams, and a whole group of soldiers fell off the cliff, and several wooden carts rolled down with them.

The soldiers in front and behind all stared blankly.

But soon he silently continued to move forward, walking more cautiously.

"Eleventh Chief!" Xuanyi made Liang Fang sigh.

A whole eleven tithes, one hundred and ten people, perished on this treacherous road.

"Ahead is the Sky Ridge, and the Shu army has set up a pass on it!" Li Tehui reported.

The most precipitous place in Yinping Road is Motianling, if there is a pass here, only three or two hundred people are needed, and more than 20,000 people are likely to be blocked in the mountains.

"Tell the soldiers, cross the Sky Ridge, and the rest of the road will be easy to go!" Du said in a deep voice.

Although he was a literati, his will was even tougher than that of ordinary warriors.

I have already walked more than half of the way, and even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I have to wade through it.

Xuanyi envoy and Xuanyi Peng constantly motivate morale.

"When you enter the Shu Kingdom, you are the work of destroying the country! The eldest husband can have this honor for the rest of his life, and he will die without regrets! ”

"To win this battle, you are all heroes of Liangzhou!"

"The prince is still fighting in Guanzhong, is it me?"

……

No matter how difficult the road is, only perseverance will always go on.

Many soldiers are not even afraid of death, and naturally they are not afraid of this dangerous road.

This kind of opportunity is not usually waiting.

So the morale of this expeditionary force has always been very high.

In their impression, Shuzhong is rich and oily, the water flows to the place, and people naturally yearn for a prosperous place.

This is the internal motivation of the Liang soldiers.

What's more, there are twelve military achievements behind him, and the Liang army is not afraid of fighting, but he is afraid of not fighting.

When Yang Zheng did not rise, all over the northwest were small in three days and big in five days, for food, for women, for territory, for livestock, every ethnic group and everyone riveted their strength to fight and kill in order to survive.

After Yang Zheng's rise, the internal fighting disappeared, but their bravery did not disappear, but became more intense.

On the Sky Ridge, the mountains and rocks and giant trees rise into the sky, and a sheep intestine trail winds upward.

Du Zhen's eyes were stunned, "If the Shu army sets up a pass here, our army will not be able to pass it!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Teh rushed over with dozens of Di scouts overjoyed, "Long history, long history, there is a pass on the mountain, but no one is stationed!" ”

"God help me!" Du pre wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

In my mind, the biggest problem in this expedition to Shu is not to break through Chengdu, but how to cross the 700-mile Yinping Ancient Road.

The current situation of Shu is likely to be better understood in Liangzhou than the Shu lord in Chengdu.

The soldiers climbed the Ferris Ridge with infinite joy, but they were stunned one by one.

It turns out that the north side of Motianling has a gentle slope, while the south side is a cliff, and there is no road to go......

Deep valley with clouds.

If you don't want to go to the cliffs, you need to go around hundreds of miles between the mountains......

"No wonder the Shu people don't fortify here, this is originally a dead end!" Litt sighed.

Everyone looked at Du Yu with blank eyes.

Du Yu looked at the stone tablet on the pass that was eroded by wind and rain, "Of course, Zhuge Wuhou has a saying, the defense of the whole Shu should be in Yinping." Motianling is so dangerous, but Shu is not fortified, it can be seen that the emptiness of Shu is lax, Shu people are sent to defend in the mountains and rivers, we wait for it, then Shu will be broken, things are man-made, the army has been here, how can you retreat? Who dares to fall off the cliff? ”

The steepness of the Sky Ridge made Du Pre-Po Shu's heart more firm.

Tian Zhang, Tian Xu, and Xu Yi looked at each other, and the bald tree function was silent.

"My subordinates are willing to go!" In the end, it was Litt who stepped up.

"If this battle can be successful, the great credit is yours!"

Leet tied a rope to his body and stepped on the cliff like a monkey.

A few times I slipped and fell and was hung by a rope.

It took half an hour to land safely.

There was a burst of cheers from the mountains.

If one person can go down, so can the others.

After a while, Li Tet was pulled up again, covered in blood, and his leather armor was cut by sharp stones, "Seventy steps to the east, the mountain is gentle, and there is grass below, which can be wrapped in felt and slided down!" ”

More than 20,000 people, plus wheelbarrows, if they all go down the rope, it will take at least a day or two.

Not everyone can have Leett's skills.

The movement is too big, the time drags on too long, and it is likely to be detected by the Shu people.

The south of the Motianling is already Shudi.

"Down!" Du was the first to put on wool felt.

Other generals can only follow suit.

Standing on the edge of a cliff and looking out at the deep valley, the timid can't help but tremble.

Lin Sen took the initiative to walk in front of Du Pre, and was the first to slide down the cliff without a sound.

Then there was Lit, and then there was the bald tree function.

On the Sky Ridge, it was like a landslide, and the soldiers rolled down.

Someone also deviated from the direction and fell directly off the cliff, letting out a scream.

There were also people who rolled halfway and hit their heads on the rocks, bleeding profusely on the spot, and they never woke up.

Du felt that the sky was spinning, it was originally slippery, but it was not controlled at all halfway and turned into rolling.

He is not a Liangzhou warrior with a bear's waist and a tiger's back, but a thin scholar, who has been in danger several times and has been pulled by the guards around him.

I don't know how long it took for Du Yu to feel that he was back in the world, and he couldn't even stand on his feet.

It was Lin Sen who held him up.

There were more than 100 corpses under the cliff.

Du Yu sighed, buried him, and set up a tombstone.

The wheelbarrow that came down from the ridge was wrecked seven or eight times out of ten.

But I finally walked through the most difficult place.

"Everyone, Shu is already in the palm of your hand!" Du pre-breathed and said in a deep voice.

The eyes of the surrounding generals flashed with a cold light.

After Motianling, there are Nantianmen, Yinping Mountain, Ma Zhuanguan, Jingjun Mountain, Qingdaokou, and then Jiangyou.

Along the way, the Shu army had too many places to garrison, but they were all deserted.

There wasn't even a beacon, only a few beggar-like old soldiers, and they didn't even have the strength to flee when they saw the army.

Du pre-drove straight in, and the soldiers were under the river oil city.

The banner of the word "Yang" flutters on the land of Shu......
