Chapter 1057: Sheep's Horn Road

Jiameng Pass lies on the only road to enter Shu in the east of Sichuan, and one pass is the road, almost isolating the possibility of Ganlong entering Shu.

Unless it is broken through by a large army, otherwise, only flying away can tens of thousands of troops enter the land of Sichuan and Shu.

However, there is no absolute and inevitable thing in the world after all, and the Jiameng Pass, which seems to cut off the road into Shu, is not completely blocking all the roads to the west, at least as long as someone is willing to take the risk of detouring, there is still a chance to appear after the Guancheng.

It's just that this road is too steep and difficult, and the location is too hidden, that is, few people in Sichuan and Shu are known, and it has been forgotten by the vast majority of people in Sichuan and Shu over the years.

But this mountain trail that was opened up and trampled out by local medicine pickers in order to collect a certain flavor called sheep's horn root, and thus got its name, still exists after all, and has become the biggest flaw in Jiameng Pass.

In order to capture Sichuan and Shu, Li Wannian spent ten years sending a large number of eyeliner spies to go deep into all parts of Sichuan and Shu, and had a very in-depth understanding of the local features and customs.

Before being blocked by Jiameng Pass this time, he immediately sent a group of Jianghu masters under his command to try to bypass this trail that had not been set foot on for many years and go straight to the rear of Jiameng Pass.

These people are all masters with a considerable reputation in the rivers and lakes in Guanlong and the Central Plains, and Li Wannian spent a lot of time and cost to deliberately win them over. Originally, I wanted them to use their abilities at a certain moment to kill the Dayue Imperial Court by surprise, but now in order to go further, they can only take out this hole card first.

And judging from the facts, this time they used good steel on the blade, and the road in front of them is indeed very easy for people to walk, because this road is too steep and difficult to walk.

It is said that the difficulty of the Shu road is difficult to go to the blue sky, but compared with the small road hidden in the mountains and covered by the wild grass in front of you, the plank road into Shu that is connected by wood and stone can be called a smooth road.

Not only is the road steep and narrow, almost winding up the mountain wall, up to the eagle's head and then down rapidly, and the road is so narrow that only one person can pass sideways - this is still the widest part below, and further up, the road is narrowing and narrowing, and it is only enough to borrow a little strength on the tiptoes.

And because this mountain road has not been walked for too many years, let alone repaired, this road is constantly interrupted. At that break, the narrow one is a few steps, and the wide one is a few feet, all of which need to leap over with great courage in order to continue to go up safely.

Even with today's good hand in the rivers and lakes, after walking for less than two miles along such a difficult road, there are many people who are sweaty on their foreheads and tremble slightly, and they can't help but have the intention of retreating.

They are all extraordinary and brave enough, but the thrill of climbing up such a cliff is enough to make them feel daunted.

"Brother Jiang, how far is it from the peak of the eagle's head?" One couldn't help but ask.

Now they had just jumped over a continuous break, and almost everyone was so frightened that they could only be distracted by such words.

Jiang Chong, who was the first to start, cautiously continued to explore the way, and replied casually, "It's probably going to take half a day. However, the road down the mountain can be more difficult, so you should be especially careful. Are the ropes all sturdy?"

In order to take care of each other, this group of people was connected by ropes, so that even if one person fell into the air, the others could still come to the rescue.

There were a few things that went wrong before, and it was because of this that everyone was able to save them.

"The bundle is strong, Brother Jiang, you can rest assured." The companion behind him immediately replied, and at the same time pinched the sweat for the leader who was about to leap out.

Because in front of him, it is the most dangerous breach since entering the sheep's horn road, and it is actually five or six feet wide.

This width is not a big problem, and for them, it is a breeze to jump three or two feet. But the problem is that the port foothold in front of it is too narrow, only three fingers wide, only enough to borrow some force on the tip of the toe. And I don't know if the stone path is solid, if it has been eroded by wind and rain

, the consequences can be serious.

But now, they have no way out, they can only bite the bullet and take risks.

"Okay, I'm going!" Jiang Chong didn't hesitate any longer, after taking a sharp breath, he retreated slightly, and the person rushed quickly, and immediately after rushing out of this small stone path, the person had already jumped up, like a harrier eagle, swept through the air, and fell straight towards the stone path port in front.

I have to say that as the leader of these people in the rivers and lakes, his martial arts are indeed quite good, such a thrilling place, he can still play with ease, and he landed firmly on the bulge of the fracture, and with a little tiptoe, the person quickly squatted down and stabilized his body.

Seeing this, the people in the rear couldn't help but applaud in unison, and most of their hearts were relieved.

As long as one person passes safely, with the help and cooperation of everyone behind, they will naturally be able to pass calmly.

But at this moment, as soon as their applause came out, it quickly changed again, and turned into a burst of exclamations.

Because Jiang Chong, who should have been stable, suddenly sank under his feet, and in the uproar, the person fell down rapidly.

The most worrying thing finally happened, this section of the stone path had long been fragile under the erosion of wind and rain, and now it was stepped on so hard that it collapsed suddenly. In this way, naturally, Jiang Chong, who had just been about to stabilize himself, also fell down quickly.

As he fell, the four good hands tied to him went straight forward uncontrollably, and two of them were directly pulled out of the gap, screaming and falling straight out.

Fortunately, there were two other people who responded quickly enough, quickly steadied themselves, and pulled the rope, and the others behind also quickly reached out and pulled to stop the momentum of the fall.

But even so, Jiang Chong, who had fallen more than half a zhang, was still not optimistic, because the ropes tied to them were almost unable to withstand the pull of the three of them, and the gap was faintly visible.

A good Jiang Chong, at this time, he didn't see the slightest panic and timidity, and immediately shouted: "You guys pull people up......" and then climbed a rock protruding beside him with one hand, and with the other hand, he had already pulled out the short knife on his waist, and with a single hand, he cut off the rope around his waist.

Just as the crowd was again exclaiming, wondering what he was going to do, the others had risen again, and with only one hand pressed against the rock, and the man had swooped like a bird towards the path above which was still a large piece of stone, but apparently wider.
