Shu Chen

Chapter 460 To

Liu Yin is respected as a warrior in the army, and he has many strategies, but his luck is not good.

Since the third year of Jianxing to pacify the Nanzhong rebellion, he was sent to garrison Guangshi of the Hanzhong Army. It has been 13 years since he left Bashu in the north!

However, guarding the city or guarding the pass all the year round, it is always untimely to go to war.

Accumulated achievements~
Ugh.
He can hardly tell himself.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to say that he is not envious or self-inflicted when he sees a friend or colleague who has been acquainted in the past with the opportunity to defeat the enemy and become a marquis.

Especially, in two years he will enter the age of knowing his destiny!

How much time can be wasted in life?

Therefore, when Zheng Pu asked him to secretly lead the army to the Jufu garrison in the north of Xiaoguan Road, claiming to let him climb Liupan Mountain to attack Gaoping City, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

A man is sincere and independent, there is nothing shameful in crying.

And those present were Zheng Pu and Ju Fu, both of whom he had known each other for many years and lived and died together.

The main reason is that once he succeeds in sneak attacking Gao Ping, he will definitely become famous all over the world, and even future generations will not be stingy to add a fortune to his history.

Because the Longguan Road and the Weishui River Valley have been cut off now, no matter whether the Han Dynasty attacks Wei or Wei wants to fight Longyou, they will not be able to march from the two roads.And now that Xiaoguan and Shuyin Fortress are both in the hands of the Han army, if they go down to Gaoping City again, then there is no need to worry about the Wei Guowei's invasion of Longyou or Hexi in the future, and he will even send a small group of troops to harass Can't do it!

The Han Dynasty will occupy Longshan-Liupanshan, and it will become an unshakable place of victory!
That is to say, the achievements of the sneak attack on Gaoping City can be compared with Zheng Pu's bloodless soldiers according to Xiaoguan and Jiang Wei's attack on the fortress of Yuyin for thousands of miles in the past.

Naturally, it is not surprising that those who were lucky enough to make such a move have the heart of "how can you hate death".

At that time, Goufu present couldn't help being envious, so he said: "In the past, brother Xiuran lamented that his achievements were not successful, but now he has worked hard for ten years. It is really enviable!"

Yes, although Ju Fu also went with him, his duty was only to assist Liu Yin in capturing the city.

There is no way, the Badi people under his command, although they are also famous for climbing mountains and ridges like walking on flat land, but they are far inferior to the second family of Xihou who live in Fuling County.

The land in Fuling County is full of dangerous mountains and water beaches, and there is no sericulture. It produces tea, dan, lacquer, honey and wax.

Among them, tea, dan, and lacquer were all occupied by rich clans, and the impoverished Pixiu clan mostly relied on dangerous climbing of cliffs to collect honey and wax or herbal delicacies, so they were called "mountain beggars".

When Zhang Bao recruited soldiers in Fuling, most of the recruits were these impoverished beggars.

The Banyu people who thrive in Badi (the hills in central Sichuan) have many farms and mulberry fields, and their livelihoods are acceptable. Naturally, they are not as good as the climbing skills of the Pixiu people who have had no choice but to work hard.In the process of climbing Liupan Mountain, it was also the Xihou Army who climbed up the cliff first, and then let the Banmanman use his strength to climb up the cliff by hanging down the rope.

Therefore, the prime minister and Zheng Pu decided to let Ju Fu also go together, but Liu Yin's army only had [-] soldiers. Even if they successfully sneaked into Gaoping City, it would be difficult for them to hold out to Zhao Guang's troops to respond to the Wei army's counterattack.

However, Liu Yin became very passionate when he was impressed.

He directly ignored Zheng Pu's claim that "Gaoping City can be taken if it can be taken, and if it can't be taken, then go to intercept and kill the Niwei Hu Zunbu", asking him to play by ear, and if it can't be done, then return it.

It was so hard for him to have such an opportunity, how could it be possible to "do nothing"? !

Either succeed or die, there is no such thing as quitting!
Regardless of Zheng Pu's previous private remonstrance that "the warlord should not benefit the soldiers for personal gain when he is outside, so as not to be criticized by others", he slaughtered all the grazing sheep in his Longyou pasture and transferred them to Watingchuan to be eaten by the Sihou army.

Before leaving, he gathered the crowd and said: "Climbing Liupan Mountain and diving to the high level, it is bound to be difficult, but I don't know how many survivors. However, I have been supported by the court for many years, and I shall repay it with death! General Zhenxi turned the words of the prime minister and claimed If someone dies in battle, the imperial court will support his wife and children generously, and provide them all the time, so that we will not have any worries! I will go with you, and I will go to the dangerous place first, and the ridge first. Gong! I won’t give any rewards from the imperial court, they will all be shared among you!”

After saying that, everyone is high-spirited and swears to die.

The first day of climbing went well.

Not only are Liupan Mountain's slow direction from Watingchuan, the forests are not very dense, and there are many small trails for hunters to follow, but also the fact that all the soldiers of the scorpions went lightly.

For example, the soldiers of Qixi did not wear armor, and their weapons were only two short blades tied to their calves. There is also a saying that the Banximan who helped the governor was responsible for carrying dry food, ropes, crossbow arrows, and wound medicine to detoxify snakes and insects.

On the second day, after crossing three low hills one after another, looking back, I couldn't see where the Han army camp was.

On the third day, I entered a deep valley.

There has never been human habitation here, primitive and rough.

When you look up, you can see the ridge soaring into the clouds, and the unpredictable mountain air rising from the mountainside is like a magical veil, hiding the whole mountain; The stream twists and turns down the precipitous and upright rocks, and occasionally there are ethereal sounds of unknown birds or insects. Being in it, it has a different style. flow.

But looking pleasing to the eye, climbing is a kind of suffering.

For example, poisonous insects hidden in trees, moss attached to rocks, and vines that are not sure whether they are firm or not, etc., will all become dangers when soldiers use their strength to climb.Because climbing over this mountain is the remnant of Liupan Mountain on which Gaoping City of Niwei Wei is based, and the bottom of the valley in the mountain is especially difficult to identify the direction. They can't and dare not go around the valley, they can only look at the ridge and pick up the difficulties.

On the fourth day, when we climbed more than [-] Zhang, many soldiers were cut by rocks or bitten by snakes and insects, but they had no fear.

On the fifth day, we climbed more than [-] Zhang again.

It began to happen that soldiers fell to the bottom by mistake.

Because it rained last night, not too much and not too long ago, but it made the rocks and trees that can be used as slippery, and if you climb up, you will stumble if you are not careful.

On the sixth day, the real difficulty came.

Due to the fact that Liupan Mountain is located in the northwest of "every cold and cool", there is not much vegetation on the mountainside here, and the upward ridge is straight like a cliff.

If you want to continue climbing, you can only rely on the occasional small bumps on the mountain.

It is precisely because of this situation that more than a hundred people from the Xihou army fell into the valley within a day.

The towering ridges have been attacked by wind and sand from the north all the year round, and many of the small bumps on the seemingly solid mountain have been weathered.The soldiers can support it when they stretch out their hands and grab it, but when their hands and feet are on it, they are overwhelmed and shattered or broken.

Let the soldiers who have nowhere to rely on fall like the broken wooden kite.

But there were no screams or desperate wails.

In order not to make a sound to startle the flying birds or make the valley echo, everyone will hold small stones in their mouths when climbing, and then cover their mouths with thick cloth to tie them. The sound in the world is a very dull whining nasal sound.

The iron hooks and small iron pestles that Zheng Pu specially prepared before coming here are useless here.

The mountain can almost become a cliff, and it is no longer possible to dig a small hole and insert a small iron pestle as a fulcrum for the hands and feet, and the sharp iron hook cannot grasp the depression for strength.

Perhaps, this is the reason why no one has climbed Liupan Mountain.

Today's climbing speed is naturally very slow, less than twenty feet upward, but Liu Yin and Ju Fu let the soldiers spend the night at a height of more than ten feet.

No way, people can't hang on the mountain wall overnight.

But this mountain is only slightly flattened in the middle of more than ten feet, which can allow thousands of them to squeeze together to rest and eat dry food and recover their strength.

But not only did the soldiers not feel depressed, but their morale was high.

The Gein Ridge is already in sight, and about twenty feet further up, you can stand on the top of the mountain, looking down on Ni Wei like an ant!

On the seventh day, dawn broke.

The soldiers all raised their heads in silence, looking up at the 獽古司马 and 蜑北司马 who spontaneously asked for orders, and the four or five mountain beggars who were the most skilled and continued to climb up.Their eyes were full of tension and anticipation. Many of them clenched their fists so that their fingers turned white, or their mouths were opened wide and they were salivating faintly without realizing it.

Every time the ascending Paoze is shaken by the sudden mountain wind, occasionally scratches a small bump on the mountain, or is blinded by the sand, etc., the pupils of them who are looking up will constrict rapidly, and their breathing and mood will suddenly condense. A suffocation.

However, there is no need to worry about them falling into the valley today.

Gain Liu Yin and Gou Fu finally came up with a way. Each climber tied a rope to his chest and back, and the other end of the rope was tied tightly to the rock or in the hands of more than a dozen soldiers.

The only pity is that today also failed to climb the ridge.

Sima, who climbed the fastest, was still about four or five feet away from the top of the mountain before the last ray of the setting sun faded away.

On the eighth day, make persistent efforts.

The night sky began to turn slightly white, and some long-lasting stars were faintly twinkling, greedy for the tenderness of the night and reluctant to leave, Sima Bi began to climb alone.Because of yesterday's experience, he didn't need to carefully test whether the relationship between his hands and feet was stable. He climbed up very fast, and he stepped on the ridge at noon!
It is conceivable that when he untied the rope tied to his body and fixed the stones tied to the ridge to indicate that others could go up, the soldiers were very happy.

For example, Liu Yin with a beautiful beard inadvertently pulled out several beards, like the sentence that punched a rock in excitement without feeling the pain, and there are still many people who can't help crying and chanting words in their mouths. Pray to the prostitute in the hometown, etc.

However, they were very restrained and did not cheer.

After stepping on the top of the mountain, it is not difficult for them to attack the city.

It was night, and everyone hung down the ridge with ropes.

On the ninth day, we traveled northward along the steep wall for about ten miles, and before noon, we arrived at the remnants of Liupan Mountain, where Gaoping City is located.

Liu Yin and Gou Fu ordered all the soldiers to eat and rest on the spot, so as to relieve the fatigue and tense mood from the days of climbing, in order to steal the city after nightfall.
