The last three kingdoms

Chapter 300 Crossing the Snow Peak ([-])

Maybe it was God's favor, maybe it was the climate of Daxue Mountain, when Liu Yin arrived at the pass, the wind stopped, the snow stopped, and the weather suddenly cleared up again.

Seizing this opportunity, Liu Yin ordered the troops to speed up their march and strive to cross the first snow mountain before dark.

The way down the mountain is naturally much easier than the way up the mountain, but the rugged mountain road is full of ravines, cliffs and cliffs everywhere, and the snow is deep and slippery, so the danger is doubled compared to the way up the mountain. With every step, he slowly moved down the mountain.

The white gradually faded away, replaced by the lovely green. For the Shu army who climbed out of the purgatory on earth, this wild land at the foot of the mountain was a paradise on earth.

When Liu Yin arrived at the valley at the foot of the mountain, it was already sunset, and it was almost midnight when all the troops crossed the snow mountain.

The exhausted Shu soldiers fell headlong on the meadow, so tired that they didn't even have the slightest strength.

Compared with the cold wind on the top of the mountain, the climate in the valley is much more pleasant, neither hot nor cold, and it is comfortable and cozy to lie down in the wild grass.

Liu Yin stopped the action of the military judge who was trying to prepare for the enforcement of military discipline. In the view of the military judge, such a free and undisciplined way was a serious violation of military discipline, but Liu Yin didn't care, and the proper indulgence was also for these soldiers. Although they only crossed the first snow mountain on the way to Guanlong, these soldiers from Shuzhong have created an unprecedented record. As long as they have a heart of belief in victory, there is no difficulty that can overwhelm these warriors of.

Between the first snow mountain Jiajin Mountain and the second snow mountain Mengbi Mountain, there should be a basin called Xiaojinchuan. Although it was not prosperous in later generations, it was still crowded with people. Except for the wild yaks strolling leisurely, there is no trace of human habitation at all, and the so-called path is also stepped on by wild animals.

After resting for a day, the army embarked on the journey again, aiming at Mengbi Mountain.

It is much easier to march in Xiaojinchuan, and you can hunt while walking. Those wild yaks, wild antelopes and other animals suffered pitifully, and were beaten by the Shu army. In this era, there is no such thing as Awareness to protect animals, whether it is flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, whether it is two-legged, four-legged or legless, as long as it is the prey that is being targeted, few can escape. Get the bows and arrows of Shu soldiers.

Liu Yin also did not prohibit it. In this era of the jungle, his own survival is the first priority, and other things are nonsense. Talking about the concept of animal protection with the ancients can only be thought of as brainwashed.

Arriving at the foot of Mengbi Mountain, Liu Yin was not in a hurry to go up the mountain, but ordered to camp at the foot of the mountain, so that the soldiers could eat and drink well, take a full rest, and recover their strength.

Sleeping on the top of the mountain is undoubtedly a nightmare. Liu Yin decided to change the way of marching, let the soldiers rest fully at the foot of the mountain, recharge their batteries, and then set off in the early morning to assault the snow-capped mountain pass with all their strength, and strive to cross it within a day. Snow mountain, do not stay on the top of the mountain.

Liu Chen, Fu Qian, Huang Chong and others have no objection to this, after all they have no experience in this area.Of course, Liu Yin's experience in this area cannot be called too much. Although he walked the Long March Road again in his previous life, asphalt roads have already been built on those snowy mountains, and the road conditions are already much better. In addition to global warming, As the snow line moves, Liu Yin's Long March Road is somewhat untrue. It is not so much a reminiscence of bitterness and sweetness as a tour of the natural scenery.

But the current environment is much more dangerous than the later generations. The depth and breadth of snow cover are many times greater than what Liu Yin has seen before. Marching in a primitive wild area is full of unknown dangers.

When crossing the first snow mountain, Jiajin Mountain, Liu Yin already felt the cruelty of nature. He encountered a cold snow mountain night and a sudden snowstorm. When passing the first snow-capped mountain alone, the Shu army had already lost hundreds of people. It's insignificant, but Liu Yin still has a haze in his heart. After all, this is the first step of a difficult expedition. At the end, Liu Yin really doesn't know how much he will pay in casualties.

With the experience and lessons of crossing Jiajin Mountain, Liu Yin has better arrangements for the next itinerary.According to the map provided by A Jian, Mengbi Mountain is a little lower than Jiajin Mountain, and the snowy road on the top of the mountain is only half as long as Jiajin Mountain. That's why Liu Yin formulated a surprise strategy and prepared to cross Mengbi Mountain in one go.

After a short rest, Wudang Battalion, the vanguard, set off first in the morning light, embarking on the journey to hit the snowy area on the top of the mountain.

The elegant name of Mengbi Mountain comes from Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that when the Qing army conquered Jinchuan, a general lost the Langhao brush bestowed by the emperor. I suddenly had a dream at night, woke up and looked for the trace according to the dream, and sure enough, the imperial pen was lost and recovered, so this mountain was named Mengbi Mountain.

Of course, this is the name of later generations. Now it is a wild place. No matter which mountain it is, it is an unnamed mountain. When Liu Yin passed Mengbi Mountain in his previous life, he could not see much snow. The sky blocks out the sun, and the strange flowers and plants on the southern slope of the mountain are colorful, just like a fairyland on earth.But now, except for a vast expanse of white, there is almost nothing to see, and the thickness of the snow is deeper than that of Jiajin Mountain.

Apparently, the further north you go, the deeper the snow and the colder the weather.The direct sunlight at noon made the Shu soldiers unable to open their eyes. Liu Yin sent an order to all the soldiers to cover their eyes with black silk scarves to block the reflection of the sun and prevent snow blindness from happening.

Today’s weather is still beautiful, the wind is sunny and sunny. Although we can’t feel any warmth on the top of the snow-capped mountains, it’s a gift from heaven that we haven’t encountered strong winds and snowstorms.

Liu Yin's strategy still had an obvious effect. The soldiers of the Shu army had rested and had plenty of energy. In addition, the weather was good. The southern slope of Mengbi Mountain was relatively gentle, and the speed of their progress could always be kept fast. Just after noon, The vanguard has already reached the pass of Mengbi Mountain.

The next step is the way down the mountain. The Shu soldiers were all smiling, but after climbing to the top of the mountain and looking down, they involuntarily gasped.
