Chapter 1599 1601 [Possibility into Riding a Tiger]

Since Liu Jin wanted to attack Laojun Temple regardless of the cost, the soldiers could only be forced to do their best to build the plank road one after another.

In the end, after paying the death and injury of more than a thousand people, the plank road was repaired.

This was also because Xiang Nan and the others were not prepared enough, especially because they had prepared too few fire starters.

Stones can only hit people, but it is difficult to damage the repaired plank road.The best way to destroy the wooden plank road is to burn it with fire.Xiang Nan used fuel oil several times to burn down the half-paved plank road.

It's a pity that despite the preparations, the fuel reserves were still insufficient, and the plank road was finally repaired, and then the soldiers passed the stone forest along the plank road.

However, although there are plank roads to walk on, they also paid a heavy price. They were thrown off the cliff by falling rocks from time to time, causing countless deaths and injuries.

But after paying a heavy price, Liu Jin still broke through the second level and came to the third level.

The third pass is called a line of sky. As the name suggests, it is a narrow passage between two cliffs. Walking in the passage and looking up, you can only see a thin line of sky, showing the danger of the terrain.

……

Once at this level, Liu Jin couldn't help frowning secretly.Knowing this level, you have to take your life to fill it.

Of the 1 horses he brought, now that they are dead, there may only be more than 7000 left.The battle loss rate is close to 30.00%, and morale is already extremely low.

In fact, since last night, some soldiers have sneaked down the mountain and become deserters.It's just that no one dared to report to Liu Jin.

"Rush, rush over, whoever is the first to arrive at Laojun Temple, I will promote him to be a Zhengdao Tong, and reward him with 5000 taels of silver." Liu Jin ordered.

Hearing what he said, the morale that had fallen to the bottom was finally boosted up.Afterwards, Lan Fu Dao Tong personally led the troops and broke into Yixiantian.

Of course, on the top of the cliff in the sky, falling rocks and rolling logs fell one after another.Because the top of the cliff is more than 30 meters high, even a stone the size of a pebble can easily smash a person's head when it falls.

Because of this, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Even if they used shields to form a shield wall to protect themselves, they still couldn't support the dozens of kilograms of stones roaring down.

So in a short while, the canyon was already full of corpses.Falling rocks and rolling logs also blocked the narrow mountain road, making it difficult to pass.

"These damned rebels, if my father-in-law catches you, he will cut you to pieces and die a terrible death." Seeing the heavy casualties, Liu Jin couldn't help being furious.

……

After sacrificing more than [-] people, Liu Jin's army finally broke through the third hurdle and broke through the sky.

However, Xiang Nan and the others escaped to the fourth pass, Tongtianxia, ​​long before they passed.

Tongtian Gorge is located between the two peaks, with gurgling streams and waterfalls, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, so it is known as Tongtian Gorge.

The two peaks are connected by a suspension bridge.

At this time, the suspension bridge has been cut off by Xiang Nan and others.

If Liu Jin's army wants to pass, the bridge must be rebuilt, or they can only wade across.Fortunately, there is only a shallow layer of water in the stream, so it is convenient to ford, but it is still necessary to climb up and down.

Especially the dense forest on the opposite side is very suitable for ambushes.Xiang Nan and others can launch a blocking attack when the army is crossing the river.So it is also a big problem.

When Liu Jin's army crossed a line of sky, passed through Baicao Lawn, and arrived at Tongtian Gorge, Liu Jin couldn't help frowning when he saw the treacherous terrain.

He didn't expect that a mere Tai Chi Gate would be so difficult.His [-] troops were unable to attack this mountain for a long time, and even lost thousands of soldiers.

Spreading it out is simply a joke.

It's just now that he is riding a tiger.If you fight, you have to fight, if you don't fight, you have to fight.

At any rate, he defeated Laojunguan, and he could still whitewash the peace and say that he had won.Otherwise, if you just retreat like this, you will lose all face.

Because of this, he ordered to go on and rush forward regardless of the cost.The only remaining deputy, Zhou Qinzhou, had to take orders.

The former Lan Fu Dao Tong had already died in the sky. He was hit on the head by a falling rock and died without making a sound.

……

Zhou Qin then led his troops across the river to attack Laojunguan.

Fortunately, the river has receded, and there is one less risk.

Halfway across the river, dozens of arrows were shot from the opposite side.Although the accuracy was a bit off, there were too many soldiers who couldn't hold back and crossed the river. They were densely packed and crowded into a group, which was inevitable.

Therefore, one wave can take dozens of lives.

The soldiers, who didn't have much morale in the first place, were so frightened that they all retreated.

"Those who retreat without permission will die, and they will all charge!" Seeing this, Zhou Qin immediately swung his knife, hacking and killing several people who wanted to escape one after another, and finally shocked the situation.

But at this moment, a long spear suddenly flew out from the opposite woods, not only piercing through Zhou Qin, but also piercing through several people behind him, turning them into candied haws.

"Deputy Zhou Daotong is also dead~" All of a sudden, the soldiers backed away with screams.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, and once morale collapses, it is easy to collapse.

It's just that the soldiers in front retreated in fright, while the soldiers behind were urged to move forward by the supervising team.The two parties then crowded together and were trapped in the mountain stream, unable to move.

At this moment, a rumbling sound like thunder was heard from the canyon.

Just when the soldiers were at a loss, they suddenly heard someone scream, "Run, the mountain torrent is coming~"

When everyone looked up, they saw the majestic and mighty mountain torrents pouring down the river, just like the Milky Way pouring backwards.

The soldiers quickly pushed each other and ran towards the shore, but unfortunately everyone was already crowded into a group and could not move at all.Therefore, they could only be taken away by the roaring torrents, with at least five hundred casualties.

It turned out that Xiang Nan had ordered Deng Chang, Zhu Gui and others to build a dam in the upper reaches of Tongtian Gorge to block the stream.When the army passed by, he took the opportunity to release the water, and it really got a miraculous effect.

……

Seeing this, Liu Jin couldn't help being furious.

He didn't have many soldiers at all, if he continued to die like this, even if all the Taijimen were captured and Ling Chi was executed, he wouldn't be able to relieve his anger.

"Rush for me, rush for me, rush up at all costs." Liu Jin shouted hoarsely.

But no matter how urged by the supervising team, the soldiers dared not rush forward.

After all, too many people have died, more than 2000 people died in Nantianmen, more than 1000 people died in Shilin, more than 600 people died in Yixiantian, and more than 500 people died in Tongtian Gorge... No one knows whether they will die here too.

What's more, the grain and grass were burned yesterday, leaving the army with no rice to cook.Many people have fought fiercely since the early hours of the morning, and their legs are weak, and they have no strength to charge.

"Chong, rush, rush, if you don't rush, you will kill me!" Seeing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but angrily said.

Therefore, after the supervisory team swung their swords repeatedly and killed more than [-] people in a row, the soldiers could only bite the bullet and charge forward.

But when they rushed over, they realized that Xiang Nan and the others had already taken advantage of the darkness and slipped away.
