"The snow has melted."

Yang Zhao was still in the valley, looking outside the camp at this time.

The snow on the ground soon melts into a stream of water that collects into the lower areas, and finally either melts into the ground or into a stream.

The snow melts, everything recovers, and spring finally begins

Yang Zhao said again: "Send the shadow into the Bao Slope Road again, I want to know what Liu Bei and the others are doing now." ”

The shadow gets the order and immediately goes into action.

After about two days, there was finally news back, saying that in the Bao Slope Road, Liu Bei's defense was stricter, and the soldiers of the Shu army who occupied the terrain had increased a lot, and the defense was also stricter.

"My senior brother not only understands me, but also fears me."

Yang Zhao smiled.

At this time, Tian Feng had already returned to the valley from Dasanguan, and when he heard the words, he said: "Lord, should we go in another way?" Go to the Meridian Valley or Chencang. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Bei will fortify the Bao Slope Road, and Meridian Valley and Chen Cang will definitely not be an exception. ”

Yang Zhao nodded and said: "Kong Ming is right, I don't think there is any need to be so troublesome, just enter from the Bao Slope Road, take the best way, and give the order to the whole army to attack tomorrow." ”

Grain and grass, etc., have been prepared when they are resting.

They're ready to play at any time.

Early the next morning.

The whole army gathered, the vanguard led by Xu Huang went first, Yang Zhao followed in the middle army, and the rear army was heavy with grain and grass.

The slope is indeed very easy to walk, unlike other mountain roads that pass through the Qinling Mountains.

Worried that there would be ambushes and other traps on the mountain road, the shadows had already investigated them all, except for those Shuzhong soldiers who occupied the terrain to defend, Liu Bei had no other preparations, but even if he was on the march, there were shadows who were constantly being sent out.

Make sure there are no more problems, and the army moves on.

Walked for about a day.

The first line of defense with a relatively large terrain difference appeared in front of them, and those Shu soldiers who were defending saw Yang Zhao leading troops to kill, and hurriedly launched a defense.

Gao Xiang, who was in charge of defending here, learned that Yang Zhao was coming, looked outside nervously, and shouted: "Push the trebuchet up, the explosives pack is ready, and the archers are ready to ......"

The soldiers around him went to move all the defensive things over.

Yang Zhao waved his hand to stop.

I saw that there was an uphill section in front of me, but the people of the Shu army had already found stones and built a strong fortress, which was across the top of the uphill section, just blocking the way, like a low city wall.

"The passage through the Qinling Mountains and into Shu is indeed difficult to walk."

Yang Zhao looked at it and said.

Xu Huang, who was a striker, came back and asked, "Lord, do you want to fight?" ”

"Of course!"

Yang Zhao said lightly: "Bomb the past, let's do it!" ”

Xu Huang glanced upward, only to see Gao Xiang and the others beside them, there were still a lot of trebuchets, and soon understood that the Shu army was still using the weapons they had eliminated, although the attack distance was not very far, but this kind of eliminated weapons, if they rolled down the slope of the uphill slope, would have a certain degree of impact on them.

Instead of approaching the slope directly, they pulled away from it.

Xu Huang also asked people to dig up the soil next to it, and packed bags of soil with cloth bags, blocking the bottom of the slope and building a low wall.

"Komeito's idea is good." Yang Zhao said when he saw it.

"If explosives fall from above, they can be blocked by the dirt here, and they won't affect the strikers."

Zhuge Liang agreed: "This approach is feasible. ”

Those earthen walls made of mud have a certain thickness and height.

Ordinary explosives package, to blow it all up, the feasibility is not very large, Xu Huang's approach, in their opinion, is no problem.

"Not good!"

Gao Xiang's eyes widened, seeing the usefulness of those earthen walls, and said hurriedly: "Trebuchet, throw explosives." ”

The soldiers of the Shu army, who had been prepared for a long time, listened to the order and hurried to act.

This downhill is still a long downhill.

The distance is far away.

The trebuchet of the Shu army was not very powerful, and the distance thrown was far less than that of Yang Zhao's thunderbolt, so they hurriedly threw the explosives bag, but they just crossed an arc, and fell to the ground about one-third of the way down the slope.

Then the explosives package rolled to the bottom of the slope and crashed into the dirt wall.

Rumble......

The explosives exploded, smoke rose everywhere, and the earthen wall was blown up to the ground and the earth was splashed, but it was not blown up.

Seeing this, Xu Huang was full of confidence and shouted: "Mortar, fight!" ”

The gunner fixed the direction and put the shell inside, and the shell was knocked out and rushed straight up the slope, and exploded just before the fortification, and the same earth was splashed, and the whole slope, as well as the mountains on both sides of the slope, were trembling.

It's like an earthquake.

Seeing that the shell did not hit the stronghold, Xu Huang shouted: "Adjust the angle and fight again!" ”

Mortar shells, again struck out.

This time the angle was well adjusted, and the shells landed unerringly behind the fortifications.

Gao Xiang was frightened by the first shell, and wanted to continue to let people throw the explosives package to interfere with Yang Zhao and the others below, but they were just about to start, only to see the shells hit again.

"Run!"

Gao Xiang's reaction was a bit fast.

Seeing that something was wrong and thinking that this shell could hit them, his first thought was to run away.

Immediately turned around and ran to the other side of the high slope.

But the shell had already hit, and he hurried to the ground, and the other soldiers saw it and hurried to dodge.

But most of the soldiers still didn't have time to dodge, the shells exploded above, and ignited their original explosives packs, and those soldiers fell in pieces, even if some could dodge in time, they were also hit by the explosion, and a mouthful of blood sprayed wildly, and they fell to the ground.

Gao Xiang's reaction was fast, but the soldiers who were blown up by a few were pressed on him, and the impact of the explosion swept in again, and he was so angry and bloody that he was impacted.

When the explosion subsided, Gao Xiang pushed away the soldiers on his body and got up, only to see that the soldiers who were defending with him just now all fell, and the dead soldiers, the corpses were incomplete, and the dead ones were not dead, and they let out bursts of wails, which were miserable.

The other Shu soldiers in the rear swallowed their saliva when they saw this scene.

None of them dared to come forward.

Rumble......

At this time, Gao Xiang heard this familiar voice again, echoing below the high slope.

Yang Zhao's attack is here again!

"Run!"

Gao Xiang roared.

Although he was blown up and hurt all over, driven by his will to survive, he burst out with unprecedented potential, jumped up and ran, and the rest of the soldiers also hurried away, and the sound of explosions echoed behind them.

Soon it subsided again.

This time, no one dared to approach the edge of the fortification.

The fortifications were also blown up and collapsed.

Xu Huang suddenly found that the earthen wall was made in vain, and if he only used it once, he would not have a second chance, and shouted: "Attack it!" ”

The drums of war were beaten.

The soldiers crossed the earthen wall and attacked above the high slope.
