Chapter 520 Smuggling
There is no one inhabited within a radius of [-] li of Yinping Road.

The lofty mountains and giant trees stretch into the sky and the clouds. The mountain roads are so steep that only one person can pass through them, and there are no roads in many places.

Although Du Yu made many arrangements, the steepness of the road was still beyond his imagination.

It is difficult for flying apes to cross, and it is difficult for black cranes to fly.

Towering old trees shade the sky.

It is cold winter outside the mountain, with howling wind and snow, but the mountain road is not so cold. The wind and snow are blocked by cliffs and virgin forests, making this place like early spring.

In history, Deng Ai's smuggling to Yin was usually winter, and it was the coldest time in October.

The army dug mountain passages, built bridges when they met the water, and laid plank roads on the cliffs. Although they were slow, they kept moving towards the middle of Shu.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers in the army were from Qiangdi, and they lived in the mountains and forests like walking on flat ground.

Every time the road is about to end, they can always find a new road.

"what--"

With several miserable screams, all the soldiers fell off the cliff, and several wooden carts also rolled down.

The front and rear soldiers all stared blankly.

But soon he continued to move forward silently, walking forward more cautiously.

"No. 11 is too long!" Xuanyi ordered Liang Fang to sigh.

A total of eleven people, 110 people, died on this dangerous road.

"The front convenience is Motianling, and the Shu army has set up a pass on it!" Li Tehui reported.

The most dangerous place on Yinping Road is Motian Ridge. If there is a pass here, only 200 people are needed, and Du Yu's 2 people are likely to be blocked in the mountains.

"Tell the soldiers that after crossing Motianling, the rest of the road will be easy!" Du Yu said solemnly.

Although he is a literati, his will is tougher than ordinary warriors.

Already walked more than half of the way, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, we still have to wade through.

Xuanyi envoy and Xuanyi are constantly boosting morale.

"Entering the Kingdom of Shu, you are the ones who have contributed to the destruction of the country! If a man can have this honor in his life, he will die without regret!"

"To win this battle, you are all heroes of Liangzhou!"

"Your Majesty is still in the bloody battle in Guanzhong, how about me?"

……

No matter how difficult the road is, as long as you persevere, you will always go on.

Many soldiers are not even afraid of death, so naturally they are not afraid of this mere danger.

This kind of opportunity is usually not waited for.

So the morale of this expeditionary force has been high.

In their impression, the middle of Sichuan is very rich, and the water flows to the place, so people naturally yearn for the prosperous place.

This is the internal motivation of the soldiers of the Liang army.

What's more, there are twelve ranks of military skills behind them. The Liang army is not afraid of fighting, but afraid of not fighting.

When Yang Zheng didn't rise up, all over the Northwest, there were small ones every three days, and one big every five days. For food, for women, for land, and for livestock, every ethnic group and everyone fought hard to survive. down.

After Yang Zheng's rise, the internal fighting disappeared, but their bravery did not disappear, but became more intense.

On Motian Ridge, rocks and giant trees tower into the sky, and a narrow path winds upwards.

Du Yu looked blankly, "If the Shu army sets up a pass here, none of our troops will be able to pass through!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Te rushed over with dozens of Di clan scouts overjoyed, "Chang Shi, Chang Shi, there is a pass on the mountain, but no one is stationed!"

"God help me too!" Du Yu wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and a big stone fell from his heart.

In my mind, the biggest problem in this attack on Shu is not to break through Chengdu, but how to cross the [-]-mile Yinping ancient road.

It is very likely that Liangzhou understands the current situation of the Shu Kingdom better than the Shu Lord in Chengdu.

The soldiers climbed up Motianling happily, but they were stunned one by one.

It turns out that the north side of Motian Ridge has a gentle slope, while the south side is a cliff, there is no way to go...

The deep valley is surrounded by clouds.

If you don't want to walk on the cliff, you need to walk hundreds of miles between the mountains...

"No wonder the Shu people didn't set up defenses here. This was a dead end!" Li Te sighed.

Everyone looked at Du Yu eagerly.

But Du Yu looked at the stone stele on the pass that had been eroded by wind and rain, "Of course Zhuge Wuhou said that the defense of the whole Shu should be in Yinping. Motianling is such a dangerous place, but the Shu Kingdom has no defenses. From this we can see that the Shu Kingdom is empty and loose. Send your defenses to the mountains and rivers, and if we conquer them, the Kingdom of Shu will be destroyed. It is up to people to do it. The army has already marched so far, how can it retreat? Who dares to go down the cliff?"

The precipitousness of Motianling made Du Yu's heart to break Shu more firm.

Tian Zhang, Tian Xu, and Xu Yi looked at each other, but the bald tree remained silent.

"The subordinate is willing to go!" In the end, it was Li Te who stood up.

"If you can succeed in this battle, it will be yours!"

Li Te tied a rope to his body, stepped on the cliff and fell down like a monkey.

I slipped and fell several times and got hung by the rope.

It took less than half an hour to land safely.

There was a burst of cheers from the mountains.

If one person can go down, so can others.

After a while, Li Te was pulled up again. His whole body was covered in blood, and his leather armor was cut open by a sharp stone. "Seventy steps to the east, the mountain is relatively gentle, and there is grass below, so you can slide down with felt!"

More than 2 people, including wheelbarrows, if they all go down the rope, it will take at least a day or two.

Not everyone can have the skill of Li Te.

There was too much movement and the time dragged on for too long, and the Shu people might notice it.

To the south of Motianling is the land of Shu.

"Get off!" Du Yu was the first to put on the wool felt.

Other generals can only follow suit.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the deep valley, the timid will tremble uncontrollably.

Lin Sen took the initiative to walk in front of Du Yu, and was the first to slide down the cliff without making a sound.

Then there was Lite, and then there was the function of the bald tree.

On Motian Ridge, soldiers rolled down like a landslide.

Someone also deviated from the direction and fell directly from the cliff, screaming.

Some people rolled halfway and knocked their heads on the rocks, bleeding profusely on the spot, and they never woke up again.

Du Yu felt that the world was spinning. It was slippery at first, but he couldn't control it halfway and turned into rolling.

He is not a Liangzhou warrior with a hunchback and a tiger back, but a thin scholar. He has been in danger several times and was held back by the guards around him.

I don't know how long it took before Du Yu felt that he had returned to the world, and he couldn't even stand on his feet.

It was Lin Sen who supported him.

There were more than a hundred corpses under the cliff.

Du Yu sighed, making people bury him, and erected a tombstone.

Seventy-eight out of ten of the wheelbarrows that were dropped from the mountains were broken.

But finally finished the most difficult and dangerous place.

"Everyone, the Kingdom of Shu is at your fingertips!" Du Yu calmed down and said in a deep voice.

The eyes of all the generals around were gleaming with coldness.

After Motianling is Nantianmen, Yinping Mountain, Mazhuanguan, Jingjun Mountain, Qingdaokou, and then Jiangyou.

Along the way, there were too many places for the Shu army to garrison, but they were all deserted.

There is not even a beacon, only a few beggar-like old soldiers, who don't even have the strength to escape when they see the army.

Du Yu drove straight in and approached Jiangyou City.

The "Yang" flag is flying on the land of Shu...
