The last three kingdoms

Chapter 301 Crossing the Snow Peak ([-])

Compared with the gentle south slope, the north slope is almost a cliff, and in some places it is even a [-]-degree vertical cliff. Compared with it, the Motian Ridge that Deng Ai once climbed is simply a small hill.What's more difficult is that the entire cliff is covered with glaciers and snow, which makes it impossible for people to stop.If you are a little careful on the slippery road, you will fall directly to the bottom of the mountain. Looking down from the top of the mountain, there is a vast cloud and mist, and you can't see the bottom at all.

Tens of thousands of troops gathered here, and if they couldn't pass quickly, they would be stranded on the top of the mountain again, and the biting cold made everyone shudder.

Liu Yin also boarded the pass, seeing the situation on the northern slope, he couldn't help frowning.

Zhao Zhuo said: "Brother, it seems that going down the mountain is more difficult than going up. Ah Jian, how did you get down the mountain?" Zhao Zhuo turned around and asked A Jian.

A Jian pointed to a rather steep mountain road on the left, and said: "When I went down the mountain, I was on the other side. I slid down the protruding rock. After walking about three or two miles, the terrain became gentler. Already." When Ah Jian was exploring the way, Yi Gao was bold and could find a way down the mountain among the icebergs and snow ridges, but it was obviously impossible for the large army to act according to his method.

How did Deng Ai cross Motianling, wrapped in a felt blanket and rolled down, it can be regarded as Deng Ai's life, not only did not fall to his death, even a part of his body was not missing.But Liu Yin didn't follow his example, rolling down such a high cliff, wrapped in a felt blanket?Even if it is wrapped in ten layers of sponge, it is not enough!

"Bring the rope!" Liu Yin ordered.

The rope was the most important equipment for this march. Liu Yin chose the thickest and strongest hemp rope, which was prepared for mountaineering. The north slope of Mengbi Mountain is so steep, it seems that he can only use the rope to go down the mountain.

A Jian naturally went down to explore the road without hesitation, tied the hemp rope around his waist, and seven or eight people on the mountain pulled him. A Jian slid down the mountain step by step, and at the same time carved out steps on the steepest ice.A Jian descended about five or six hundred steps before he crossed the most dangerous section of the road, and the road below became a little gentler.

Liu Yin ordered a big rope to be tied to a boulder, and the Shu soldiers followed the rope one by one and filed down.Since there are ropes to hold on to, and there are artificially hewn steps at the steep places under the feet, the speed of going down the mountain is not too slow.

In addition to the steep road at the top of the mountain, there are also two steep roads on the mountainside on the entire northern slope. A Jian followed the same pattern and set up a rope at the two steep places. Slide down the ropeway relatively easily.

After walking through these three sections of extremely dangerous mountain roads, the rest of the Lu Shu soldiers can trot all the way.At the foot of Mengbi Mountain is a large piece of primeval forest, with towering trees tens of feet high everywhere, and the vanguard troops rushed to the edge of the forest, basically just after the end of time.

Youwudangying was exploring the way ahead, and the troops behind were much more relaxed. They followed the ropeway left by Wudangying and filed down. When it was dark, even the broken Baidiying had passed Mengbi. Mountain.

After crossing two snow mountains in succession, the morale of the Shu army in the Northern Expedition was high. It seems that the Da Xue Mountain, known as the desperate situation, is no different. Everyone's face is filled with triumphant smiles, as if Longxi County is already waving to them .

The generals admired Liu Yin even more, and it was precisely because Liu Yin resisted all opinions and bravely led them on this unprecedented road that he conquered the two snow-capped mountains at their feet.

"Brother, why do you conclude that this snow mountain is so easy to live? It seems that the natural danger is nothing more than that! Hahaha!" Zhang Le laughed heartily, causing all the generals to smile knowingly.

Liu Yin didn't laugh, because he knew that it was time to laugh now. Only when he had crossed the five snow-capped mountains, crossed the grassland known as the death swamp, and arrived in Longxi County, would he have the last laugh. in the back.This trip started from Hanjia, at least a journey of [-] miles. According to Liu Yin's plan, this journey would take at least one and a half to two months. There are basically no roads in this area. It is Liu Yin's most conservative estimate to complete this road that cannot be called a road in two months.Now it took about eight days to complete the crossing of the two snow mountains, and the speed of the process was beyond Liu Yin's expectation.There will be a more difficult and dangerous journey ahead, and there is really no time to relax.

Deng Ai acted with the Chinese army. When he was camping at the foot of Mengbi Mountain, Liu Yin went to visit him. After all, Deng Ai was already an old man over sixty years old. Among the entire Northern Expeditionary Army, his age It is the biggest one. The high mountain lacks oxygen, is extremely cold, and the environment is harsh. It is a hundred times more dangerous than the Yinping trail that Deng Ai walked at the beginning. Liu Yin doesn't know if Deng Ai can persist at his advanced age.

However, seeing Deng Ai's red face full of energy, Liu Yin felt relieved. His years of military career made Deng Ai's physique comparable to that of a man in his 40s and [-]s, and he did not show the slightest fatigue from climbing two snow mountains. Come on.Liu Yin had earlier ordered his servants to prepare the best fur robes for Deng Ai, and even the tent where Deng Ai lived was the best warm tent made of sheepskin.

"Marching on Xueling Bingfeng, I wonder if Mr. Ai's body can take it?" Liu Yin asked with concern.

Deng Ai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about it. Ai's life is spent in military affairs, so how can he be such a weak person?"

Liu Yin also smiled and said: "That's good, sir, you still need to take care of yourself, there is still a long way to go." After saying that, he turned and left.

Deng Ai stared at Liu Yin's back and sighed: "The pen that came from God is really a pen from God."

Deng Zhong said from the side: "Father has never convinced anyone in his life, why is he so convinced by General Liu?"

Deng Ai looked solemnly and said: "I have been proud of my father all my life, and I have never admired anyone from the bottom of my heart. When I was defeated by General Liu, I thought it was just bad luck. Watching his actions today, I know that it is a The real majesty and strategy, detours in the snow-capped mountains and swamps, this is the real big hand, his courage, his courage, no one has been able to match since ancient times. No matter the success or failure of the future, no one can predict, but relying on Such a feat is enough to be remembered forever."

"Father is willing to help him?"

Deng Ai nodded and said: "That's right. I had to surrender at the beginning, but I had no choice but to surrender. I have not surrendered my heart. Looking at what I have done today, I know that he is the real hero. As a father, I would like to do my best to assist him so that he can survive in the world." merit."
