Chapter 123: Towering Sword Pavilion Pass
Squeak, squeak, the camel cart full of goods swayed and moved, and in the not wide carriage, there were piles of grain and grass that were a few feet high, and on the grain and grass piles, there were three or five soldiers lazily lying on them, adding a few hundred catties to the already crumbling cart.
On the official road, two ruts that sank into the ground were more than half a foot deep, like the tracks of a train, pulling the caravan of horses.
An eagle hovered in mid-air, overlooking the stretch of snakes below, slowly moving along the narrow road that was already winding and twisting, and from the direction of the stretch of the road, it seemed that countless heavenly swords were stuck upside down in the ground and the mountains towered into the sky.
This is the Sword Pavilion, there is a sword pavilion that is not open for a man, the sword pavilion mountain is as dangerous as a sword, towering the sky, and the only passage that can pass through here is the Sword Pavilion Pass, which is a narrow mountain road opened up between countless sword mountains, picking up the steepness is not inferior to the Yuntian Fortress, but compared to the Yuntian Fortress, this is inland, although it is dangerous, but after all, it is the inland of the empire, so the Sword Pavilion is far from being famous as the Yuntian Fortress of the northern barrier of the emperor.
Compared with the Yuntian Fortress, which costs hundreds of millions, the permanent soldiers and horses are a strengthened independent forbidden army division, the defenders of the Sword Pavilion Pass only have six battalions, and the so-called Sword Pavilion Pass is not as magnificent as imagined, on the contrary, the city wall of the three passes of the Sword Pavilion is not as good as the city wall of the county seat, the reason why it is difficult to attack here is all because of the steep mountains here, it can be said that this is the magic of nature, in order to create a natural pass.
The carriages and horses are still creaking, this is a baggage team from the south of Jiange County, carrying a week's worth of grain and grass for the defenders of Jiange and a batch of newly made ordnance, escorting the baggage transport team is a battalion stationed in Jiange County.
A team of 500 people and more than 40 carts slowly drove towards the two huge peaks that towered into the sky not far away.
Quack, an eagle roared, the giant eagle hovering in mid-air suddenly moved, the stretched wings suddenly retracted, like a sharp arrow swooped down, plunged into the huge ravine on the right, and under the ravine, the rumbling sound of water stirred in the ears.
The scene of the eagle hunting did not arouse too much interest in the soldiers guarding the heavy baggage, obviously they had experienced this kind of thing a lot, some of the soldiers still squinted their eyes, lying on the grain and grass piles, letting the sun shine on their bodies.
The soldiers and horses did not notice that behind a mountain not far away, a dozen flying horses suddenly appeared, flying low over the dense jungle and into the abyssal ravine.
Roar, a roar suddenly came from the side.This Shu army guard was shocked by this invisible sound wave on the spot, and his brain seemed to be put into a pot, and his brain was about to boil.Even the strongest earth spirits in the team were caught off guard and were caught off guard.
"Fight quickly!" A small voice sounded, but it was so clear, I saw that in the ravine on the side of the road, more than a dozen flying beasts suddenly burst out, although there were all kinds of them, but the ones who jumped from above were obviously high-level earth spirits who were not weak, and even the leaders were two heavenly spirit masters.
The Shu soldiers, who were dizzy by the roaring sound waves, were completely powerless to fight back under the attack of more than a dozen people, and hundreds of Shu soldiers were wiped out as if they were cutting melons and vegetables.
"Xiyue, bring someone to pick up all of our people!" The leader of this team is a woman with a rather beautiful appearance, tall and tall, although her strength is not as good as the other two heavenly spirit powerhouses in the team, but it is obvious that this woman is the commander of the team.
The woman who was called the setting moon was also a stunning color, but her cold face made people feel like they were in an ice cellar.
And the leader came to the front of the baggage team, looking at the guard battalion lieutenant whose neck was twisted and bleeding from his mouth and nose, a cold light suddenly flashed between his slender green and white jade fingers, it was a sharp knife that was only an inch long, and the beautiful female leader moved quickly, sweeping on the cheeks of the battalion lieutenant like flowing water.
After a while, the cold light did not enter the fingertips, as if the knife had never appeared, and the female leader went deep into her bosom from the probe, felt out a small silver bottle, uncorked it, and poured it up, and a liquid like mercury dripped like a thread.
Putting away the silver bottle, a pair of jade hands fell on the cheek like lightning, ten fingers pressed quickly, and for a short time, the female leader's index finger and thumb pinched above the forehead, and then lifted it so gently, and then a jaw-dropping scene happened.
The battalion captain's face was actually undamaged, the female leader combed her hair, and covered her face with a mask after cleaning, just a few dozen seconds of effort, when the female leader turned her head again, a surprising scene happened, the female leader actually changed her appearance, if it wasn't for the clothes, the hair, the face was almost the same as the previous battalion captain.
The female leader obviously didn't finish dressing up, she untied the other party's armor familiarly, picked it up, and couldn't help but enslave Qiong's nose: "No wonder they all say it's a stinky man, but I still found a favorite clean, and there is still a smell of sweat!"
Putting on the armor of this battalion captain, putting on the helmet, and putting on the waist knife, it is simply a living transformation technique: "Ahem, throw these corpses into the valley, and quickly change your clothes!"
If there were outsiders next to him, his eyes would have widened, because the woman's voice had actually changed into a person, and if you were familiar with the dead battalion lieutenant, you would find that this voice was exactly the same as him, it was simply carved out of a mold, and this voice, this dress, was almost like the resurrection of the dead.
It's not that the female leader has made a makeover, but also several of her subordinates, dressed up as people with heads and faces in this guard battalion, after all, the soldiers are inconspicuous, but the battalion captain, deputy lieutenant and a few important people will definitely have to deal with the people in the pass after entering the Sword Pavilion.
There were constantly Tang soldiers who were transported from the opposite mountain, and they could send more than 20 people at a time, and it took a long time to gather 500 people, and the dense forest in the mountains opposite was obviously not a place where people could live, and there were not even roads, so it was obvious that they had made preparations early for this operation.
And these ghost faces, as early as half a year ago, infiltrated the county town of Jiange, spying on the news, and are familiar with the voice of their target, the actions between the pitcher's shots, and understand his background, as well as interpersonal relationships, etc., it can be said that it is not so easy to imitate a person, it is not just a change of face.
The baggage team went on the road again, everything seemed to be no different, the only difference may be that there were few people talking to each other, there was a little more elite atmosphere in the team, and the carriage was still creaking and swaying, heading towards the Sword Pavilion Pass.
The sun sets, the baggage team finally rushed to the south pass of the sword pavilion before nightfall, the south pass is also the most spacious area of the sword pavilion pass, stationed two battalions of thousands of people, between the two mountain peaks, a crack winds deep, this is the sword pavilion road, and it is also the only one in the north of Shuzhou that can walk the cart, walk the passage of the brigade of soldiers and horses.
The road on which two carts could pass side by side may seem narrow in other places, but in the midst of the mountains it is a remarkably wide avenue, and the soldiers at the gate only opened the gate after a hasty inspection of the arrival of the baggage caravan.
Don't think that the Sword Pavilion only has three thousand defenders, it can be easily won't be taken, if it's really that easy, the Tang Army won't be so troublesome, although the Sword Pavilion defenders are only three thousand, but there are many strong people, there are three Heavenly Spirit powerhouses in charge, of course, there are only three Heavenly Spirits, facing several times the siege of masters of the same level, it is also a dead end, and they can't even run away.
However, there is still a mechanism in the Sword Pavilion Pass that is enough to give everyone a headache, that is, on both sides of the Sword Pavilion Road, several bursting arrays are placed, as long as it is activated, the entire Sword Pavilion Road will be completely sealed by countless boulders falling from the sky, once this place is blocked, it is almost impossible to reopen it, even if it can, it will cost countless manpower, material resources, and a lot of time, and this is obviously unacceptable to the Tang Army.
Therefore, if you want to take the Sword Pavilion, you have to resolve this crisis, otherwise, everything is empty talk.
The baggage team slowly drove into the Sword Pavilion Pass, and began to talk to the logistics officer in the pass with a smile, and the other party obviously didn't realize that the "old guy" in front of him was no longer the original one, and invited the other party to wait for a drink.
Everything went smoothly in the handover of baggage, and according to the itinerary, they would rest overnight in this Sword Pavilion Pass, and they would set off early the next morning to return to the county seat, and the action was naturally only this night.
"I heard that we fought a big victory in the south, annihilated 20,000 or 30,000 people of the sect barbarians, and recaptured several county seats, the king of Shu was very happy, so he specially allocated a batch of wine to send it, let us also be happy, the king of Shu is very concerned about our side, by the way, has there been any recent movement in Guanbei?"
"Oh, it's good to win the battle,, let's have a good Shuzhong Eight Mansions, it's all because that group of barbarians can't be peaceful, as for the north, it's a lot tighter, but if you want to pass our Sword Pavilion, it's better to dream, I'll let people send this wine down! Let's go, let's go to the back room for a drink, I heard that there are a few good goods in the county recently, but it's a pity that my brother and I can only rotate back in half a year, but I don't have that blessing!" !!
