Chapter 46: Feat
The steep mountain road stretches endlessly, leading deep into the mountain forest.
It's not even a road, it's muddy, with thorns and tall trees in front of it.
Deng Ai led the army at this moment and marched from here.
Deng Ai may have had such an idea a long time ago, when Jiang Wei was preparing to defend the Sword Pavilion with all his might, he stayed in Yinping and did not continue to advance, and when the vanguard army of Zhuge Xu and others began to fight with Jiang Wei, Deng Ai led the army and began to climb the mountain.
Deng Ai's prestige in the army is still very high, either because he has no defeats, or because he is strict in governing the army.
Deng Ai is extremely strict with the soldiers under his command, even if he has followed the deputy general for many years, he is not merciless at all, which makes the soldiers respect and fear him.
When Deng Ai said that he would lead them to start climbing the mountain and circling the Sword Pavilion, none of the soldiers under his command dared to object.
Deng Ai led his direct elite and began this mountain-climbing behavior.
It's winter now, and although it's not as cold as Yongliang, and there's no heavy snow, the wind on the mountain is still so biting.
The wind was blowing, and even the trees were waving their arms to get the offenders out.
Deng Ai ordered the soldiers to be tied up with each other so as not to fall behind or fall off the cliff, and then lined up in a long formation and began to climb.
Deng Ai is no longer young at this moment, and the years have left countless marks on his face, but he is walking in front of the army on foot at the moment, his face is resolute, and under the guidance of several guides, they are walking faster and faster.
The mountains of Bashu are magical, and these guides found by Deng Ai, although they know the roads, but these roads are not for the army to pass, and many narrow intersections make it difficult for the Wei army to pass, so they have to look for other entrances.
In the evening, the soldiers were finally able to stop.
Deng Ai did not dare to march at night, the wind in the mountains was fierce, it was extremely cold, the roads were muddy and wet, even in the broad daylight, there were soldiers who accidentally fell into the cliff, and even a team of men and horses fell into it together, not to mention at night, walking at night at night, it was no different from suicide.
In addition to the difficult roads, there are many poisonous insects and wild beasts here.
In fact, the problem of beasts is easy to solve, even if it is a tiger, it is encountered by such a group of heavily armed armor soldiers, it is dead and alive.
But poisonous insects are difficult to deal with.
There are all kinds of insects here, and the soldiers are bitten day and night, especially by poisonous snakes.
Tian Xu sat by the campfire and couldn't help but tremble.
He stole a glance at the man sitting across the campfire.
The eldest Deng Ai didn't look the slightest bit strange at the moment, he was full of momentum, not even tired, he was picking up a branch at the moment, drawing something in the dirt on the side.
The mountains and forests were not quiet at night, the chirping of unknown insects could be heard in the distance, the cold wind was blowing, and the armorers were huddled together, lying around the campfire, unable to sleep.
When the sky was dark, Deng Ai led the soldiers forward again.
They turned south from Jinggu Road and exited the Sword Pavilion in the south, and the further they went, the more there was no road to walk.
Seeing the steep mountain wall, Deng Ai began to take the lead in climbing with ropes, and the armorers followed behind him, supporting each other, and climbed to the top of the mountain with difficulty, and when they saw the impassable boulder, Deng Ai gave an order, and the armorers began to dig directly.
The swords in their hands were almost curled, and they lifted one huge stone after another, and they cut down one big tree after another.
They didn't know how many obstacles along the road they had dealt with, and under their continuous excavation, they were stunned to advance more than 700 miles.
This section of the road is a complete no-man's land, a paradise for beasts and poisonous insects, I don't know how many years, no human beings have ever penetrated into it, Deng Ai relied on his own talents, through the sky and trees to distinguish the direction, led the armor to create a miracle.
The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and the grain they carry began to be insufficient, and the logistics could not find their whereabouts at all, and it became impossible to transport food.
The morale of the armor soldiers is getting lower and lower, they have been walking on this deserted mountain road for too long, too long.
They are like orphans abandoned in the deep mountains and old forests, and the fear in their hearts is also increasing day by day.
Deng Ai also found out about this situation, and he began to gather the generals, show them the route, and inform them that there were only a few days left to Chengdu.
They walked for many days on the road for several days, and the attrition of the armor soldiers became more and more serious, the wounded could not keep up with the army, and the speed of the march began to be delayed.
The generals began to get a little unbearable.
They felt that Deng Ai had taken him on a path of death and no life.
There is no hope at all on this road, except for mountains and forests, which are mountains and forests.
But Deng Ai never said a word, walking in the forefront, just kept hurrying.
At night, the soldiers lay tired by the campfire, and even sobs could be faintly heard.
But during the day, they packed up their things and continued on their way.
Deng Ai gasped, brandished the knife in his hand, and when he cut off the branch in front of him again, the sunlight shone directly on his face, Deng Ai couldn't help but squint his eyes, blocking the dazzling light with his hand.
The armorers tore apart the rattans and branches in front of them one after another.
Suddenly, the sun filled the world, and their eyes brightened.
The armorers who followed behind watched this scene in amazement, and they almost cried.
Even those generals, when they saw the sun at this moment, felt that it was so bright, and they almost screamed.
In the deep mountains and old forests, the devil knows how much they miss such warm sunshine.
And Deng Ai, who was at the forefront, frowned at the moment.
There was no road in front of them.
It's a cliff.
Under the cliffs, some roads can be faintly seen.
They succeeded, bypassing the Sword Pavilion.
However, they came to a cliff where there was no road at all.
The generals quickly realized this, and at this moment, the smiles on their faces suddenly froze.
After rushing the road for so long, the final result is this??
Not to mention the armorers, when the great surprise turned into despair again, their grief and indignation were indescribable.
Deng Ai suddenly laughed.
He pointed to the distance and said, "That's Chengdu." ”
"We have successfully bypassed the Sword Pavilion, this time, as long as we go down from here, from, from here, we can kill the heart of the other party, there is no army stationed here at all"
Hearing this, the surrounding generals were a little confused.
Deng Ai looked at the surrounding generals and said loudly: "Fetch felt!" ”
The general suspiciously handed the felt used for sleeping to Deng Ai, but Deng Ai directly draped the felt on his body, he pointed to the distance and said: "This hanging, the cliff is only high, not a broken wall like the Sword Pavilion, go down from here, you can kill Chengdu!" ”
"The whole army, the army, the army began to prepare, follow me down the mountain!!"
The soldiers quickly began to prepare, they piled up all kinds of supplies here, and then wrapped their bodies in felt.
Although this cliff is not a broken wall like the Sword Pavilion, it is also very high, and it is scary to look at.
Deng Ai scolded loudly: "Press, come in order!" ”
Immediately, he took the lead in a tumble, and he rolled straight down the cliff.
This scene stunned the generals, and they immediately began to follow suit, and one by one the armorers rolled down the cliff.
There was a roar from the cliff, and there were the wails of a few armorers.
The road was not safe, and in the process of rolling down, a single stone could kill them.
The generals rolled down the hill and hurried to check on Deng Ai's situation.
Deng Ai pushed away several soldiers who came to support him, stood up, and began to command, he ordered hay and other materials to be laid on the ground to reduce casualties.
After rolling like this for nearly a day, the army finally came to the foot of the mountain.
At this moment, Deng Ai's army was almost exhausted to the extreme, everyone was wounded, and the weapons were seriously lost, all of which were on the verge of collapse.
Deng Ai looked at everyone and said loudly: "Zhu, Zhu, all soldiers!" We've already passed the Sword Pavilion!! There is no more level ahead that can stop us!! ”
"Go straight from here, it's Jiangyou!! There are only a few hundred guards there! ”
"We are now short of food and baggage, we can first capture here, eat and drink enough, and then march to Chengdu, capture Liu Chan alive, and destroy Shu to make contributions!!"
Deng Ai's last sentence was almost a roar.
Surprisingly, he didn't stutter anymore in the last paragraph.
The soldiers looked at the commander standing on the high place and shouted.
Deng Ai let them tidy up here for a night, and the next day, Deng Ai's army killed Jiangyou.
The local guard Ma Miao, did not have any preparations at all, and there was no defensive army in the city, when Deng Ai's army suddenly appeared under the city, the city suddenly jumped chickens and dogs, how many years have they not seen Cao Jun??
Why is Cao Jun here? Could it be that the Sword Pavilion has been lost?
Under this double blow, Ma Miao did not resist at all, and immediately chose to surrender.
Deng Ai led the soldiers into the city and rested in the city.
At this time, the news of Cao Wei's army appearing in Jiangyou caused an uproar, and Chengdu immediately jumped with chickens and dogs, and everyone was in danger.
Liu Chan felt a great panic, and he immediately ordered Zhuge Zhan to lead the elite to attack and set up fortifications on the front line to block these invading Wei elites.
Shu Guo believes at this moment that Jiang Wei should be completely finished, and there are a large number of escapes in Chengdu.
The end of Shu has arrived.
