Chapter 396: Copying the Trail
In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Qi came to the military academy in Hanzhong City with the rising sun, where 20,000 Digui Lux had lined up in a strict formation under the command of Ma Yue, ready to set off at any time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Last night, after talking to Zhang Song, Zhang Song rushed back to Jiameng Pass overnight, after all, if he stayed outside for too long, he would be easily discovered by Taishan. After Zhang Song left, Yuan Qi and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xun Luo and Jia Yuan stayed up for half a night, and worked out a set of somewhat risky combat plans, as Yuan Qi said, for the safety of the lives of most soldiers, Yuan Qi could only let the land return to the elites, through Zhang Song's map to draw the looming path, copy to the back of Jiameng Pass to fight behind the enemy, from the back to draw the attention of Mount Tai, for the army to launch a strong attack on Jiameng Pass to create a fighter.
Copying the path to the rear of the enemy, this is not a rare thing in the Yan army's battle examples, but this time it is fighting in Yizhou, where there are lofty mountains and mountains everywhere, even Zhang Song, a native and unforgettable local, can not completely draw the road, want to pass, the difficulty can be imagined, so the task of breaking through behind the enemy line this time is arduous, which is full of all kinds of unknown dangers, and there may even be non-combat attrition, such as falling into the abyss or something, but Yuan Qi believes that it is not too difficult to overcome these difficulties with the courage and physical fitness of the eliteγ
"Wei Yan, you once took a dangerous road to kill the King of Thorn Tameng, you are more experienced in this regard, this time you will temporarily serve as Ma Yue's deputy and lead the army to go together!" Yuan Qi looked at Wei Yan behind Ma Yue and said such a sentence.
Originally, Wei Yan was still strange. Digui Lux is an elite army, and their commander is Ma Yue, why did he call himself, now Wei Yanquan understands, Yuan Qi's words not only solved the doubts in his heart, but also filled him with joy. Why is Wei Yan happy? Because Wei Yan was originally a very utilitarian person, he had not been in battle for a long time, and he had not been rewarded by Yuan Qi for a long time, and of course Wei Yan did not value those rewards. Instead, he wanted to get Yuan Qi more seriously, so as to pave the way forward for his future career, and at the same time, Yuan Qi deliberately mentioned his past example of killing the Assassin Tamon King. This shows that Wei Yan still has a certain status in Yuan Qi's heart, and his past exploits are clearly remembered by Yuan Qi.
Take a step forward with joy. Fighting side by side with Ma Yue, Wei Yan shouted loudly: "I will definitely do my best and return triumphantly!"
Yuan Qi nodded. Pulling out the Red Sky Divine Sword that was as red as blood from his waist, the blade of the sword pointed directly at the rising sun in the sky, and ordered loudly: "Go!"
Ma Yue and Wei Yan gave a standard military salute to Yuan Qi at the same time, and then raised their right fists and slapped them heavily on their left chest, and the armor on the chest of the blow made a loud sound. Yuan Qi used the same way to make the same action to the two people who were about to set off.
Ma Yue and Wei Yan led 20,000 Guili Shi to bid farewell to Yuanqi, and according to the local topographic map drawn by Zhuge Liang, they left Hanzhong and advanced towards the back of Jiameng Pass.
After running for more than twenty miles, Ma Yue turned the reins and led the sitting Sha Lifei into a steep mountain. Wei Yan and the Digui Lux followed closely behind and entered the mountain one after another. According to the map drawn by Zhang Song and copied by Zhuge Liang, they need to cross this mountain, pass through an unknown turbulent river, and then trek thirty miles to reach their destination, and in this big mountain, there is a section of the road that is not shown on the map, there, it means that it is rugged and difficult, it means that it is full of thorns, and it means that it is full of dangers, but Ma Yue did not hesitate at all, and led the troops to stride towards the road ahead.
After walking for more than an hour after entering the mountain, Ma Yue stopped, lowered his head and carefully studied the map in his hand, and then raised his head again and constantly compared the surrounding references, as if looking for the direction to move next. After Wei Yan saw Ma Yue's movements, he rode his horse to Ma Yue's side and asked in a low voice, "Is there no road on the map?"
Ma Yue nodded, pointed to the map and said: "Wen Chang, you see, the road on the map is gone here, according to the scale of the second brother's special measurement, we have to go through a road of more than ten miles before we can continue to follow the instructions on the map, before that, there is no road on the map, we need to find the road by ourselves." β
Wei Yan listened to Ma Yue's words, while scanning his gaze back and forth on the map and the surrounding references, and after ten breaths, Wei Yan firmly pointed to a looming path near the edge of the cliff and said, "It must be here!"
Ma Yue looked in the direction pointed by Wei Yan and found a winding mountain path that was only two feet long and could accommodate one person at most, nestled on the halfway point of the high mountain, with a hard cliff on one side and a cliff dozens of zhang high on the other! Walking on this path, if you are not careful, you will fall under the cliff and fall to pieces.
Slowly exhaling a breath, Ma Yue nodded and said, "That's right, it should be here." Then, Ma Yue turned around and shouted to the Digui Lux behind him: "Give you a quarter of an hour, take off your armor and carry it on your back, quickly!" Under Ma Yue's order, 20,000 Digui Lux immediately took action, untied the heavy three layers of Mingguang armor on his body, layer by layer, and then stacked the parts on the armor together according to the size of the volume, and finally wrapped the armor into a large ball with the cloth bag he carried, carried it on his back, and tied it firmly to his body with a rope.
Ma Yue did this in order to reduce the burden on the earthly wrestlers, regardless of the weight of the armor, whether it was worn on the body. The weight on the back is still the same, but wearing it on the body will still affect the agility of the Jigui Lux to some extent, and the mountain road is only more than two feet wide, if these armors are worn on the body, it will take up too much area, and it will increase the danger of walking through this mountain road.
Turning his head to look at Wei Yan, Ma Yue asked in a low voice, "Which of us is leading the way in front?" Wei Yan was stunned, patted his chest and replied: "You are the main general, you should have been guarding the Chinese army, of course you went to the front." Is there any doubt about this?" Ma Yue didn't say anything more when he heard this, after all, Wei Yan still had more experience than himself in walking mountain roads, and reached out and patted Wei Yan's shoulder and said, "Then it's hard work, let's go." β
Wei Yan nodded, then clenched his hand, Yuan Qi rewarded him with the dragon tooth knife, raised the knife and shouted: "Warriors, go with so!" 20,000 land Gui Lishi agreed loudly. followed Wei Yan and walked towards the dangerous road like a moat.
Wei Yan held a knife in one hand and led his war horse in the other, and took the lead in stepping on the dangerous road in the mountains. After stepping on the rocks on the road hard, he felt that he was quite sturdy, and there was no problem in bearing the weight of the war horse, and then he stepped forward. Following Wei Yan. The earthly wrestlers followed Wei Yan and slowly walked on this dangerous road.
After thousands of Digui Lux took the dangerous road, Ma Yue led Sha Lifei. Came to the edge of the cliff, looked intently at the soldiers who walked up to the cliff in the first part, and shouted to the other local warriors behind him: "Get ready, follow a certain forward later!" Because Ma Yue didn't know how much weight this dangerous road could carry, he didn't let everyone advance at the same time, but chose the safe way of advancing in batches.
Suddenly, Ma Yue's eyes contracted violently, because he saw that a Digui Lux slipped from the steep mountain road because of a slippery foot, and an unstable footing, and fell straight down the cliff.
Ma Yue saw that the old subordinate fell to the bottom in an instant with a very fast acceleration, and his heart suddenly swelled with two completely different complex emotions of pride and regret, he regretted that this local Gui Lux did not die on the battlefield, but died in this unknown mountain stream, but at the same time, he was also proud of the respectable behavior of this local Gui Lux who remained silent before his death! Only a fearless person would face death so calmly!
Slowly taking off the lion helmet, Ma Yue turned around and saw that the landbound wrestlers behind him had also silently taken off their helmets, and many people's eyes were full of tears, and they endured it so that the tears did not fall. Obviously, they had seen the scene just now, but not to distract their brother who was walking on the cliff, and none of them let out a single exclamation.
