Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 830 Motian Ridge Continued
"The military resources have been handed over, and the quantity is correct. I wonder what the two generals have to do?" Ma Zhen came.

"Tied up!"

Ma Zhen was shocked, and before he could react, three confidantes stepped forward and pressed him to the ground and tied him up.

"Ah~", the patrol captain only felt his back turned cold, when he looked down, a sword tip had passed through his chest, and his fingers turned yellow and he fell to the ground.Li Sheng drew out his sword and wiped away the blood, "You pretend I don't know that Zhuge Liang sent you here to watch over me?"

Jiang Wei and Deng Xian inspected the terrain, and the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became. There was only a narrow gap on the upper ridge, and it was zigzag.In such a desperate situation, Zhuge Liang even sent troops to guard it. Could it be that the sky is going to kill me?
"General, there are people coming down from the mountain, carrying a white flag."

Jiang Wei was full of doubts, he had no way to advance or retreat, why did he surrender when he found his trace on the mountain, could it be a fraud?

"General Boyue, I recognize this man, his name is Li Sheng, he is an unknown soldier." Deng Xian recognized Li Sheng, Jiang Wei nodded: "Go and see him."

"Ah, I met an old friend." Li Sheng hurriedly saluted with a flattering expression. "I've met General Deng. General Deng is always nice."

"Li Sheng, what are you doing here?"

"The last general is stationed at Motianling. Your army is like a heavenly soldier. How can I compete with the heavenly soldiers, so I seized Ma Zhen, who was transporting the military supplies, and went to General Deng. Come, bring Ma Zhen here."

Deng Xian didn't know Ma Zhen: "Who are you?"

"General, this villain is the nephew of Ma Miao, the order of Jiangyou. He is now a lieutenant colonel in the county, and he is in charge of transporting military supplies to the mountains." Ma Zhen answered all the questions to save his life.

Deng Xian had heard of Ma Miao's name. "Follow me."

When Li Sheng saw Jiang Wei, he fell to his knees and said, "So it's General Jiang Wei. The villain always admires the general's power in Jieting, and he can't wait to follow him around. It's lucky for Li Sheng that the general is here."

Jiang Wei was very tired in his heart, and forced Li Sheng to help him up with a smile: "General Li knows the current affairs and obeys God's will. He would have asked for credit for the general. How is the mountain now?"

"Huang Xi and I are here, and now we are both confidantes on the mountain, and those who disobey have been killed, please go to the mountain."

Jiang Wei was very cautious and ordered Li Fu to lead 2000 people up the mountain. Li Fu reported that what Li Sheng said was correct, and that although Motianling was steep, there was an open area on the top of the mountain, enough for a large army to station.

Jiang Wei's mood was just like this Motianling, but instead of big ups and downs, it was great joy followed by great sorrow.A month's ration of two thousand soldiers is enough for the army to squander for a few days, and Wei Jun finally had another full meal.

Standing on the Motian Ridge, Jiang Wei was worried. It was easy to go up the ridge and difficult to go down the ridge. The south side was almost full of cliffs, and only two or three hundred feet below had gentle slopes.Ma Zhen came from Yinping Bridge, but Jiang Wei could not walk through Yinping Bridge. According to Ma Zhen, Yulei Pass was very guarded, and his subordinates were very familiar with the soldiers guarding the pass.

Of course Jiang Wei didn't dare to let Ma Zhen go to take the pass. If Ma Zhen or his subordinates betrayed the water, the consequences would be disastrous.Even if I send people to pretend that the Shu army can approach, it is impossible for 1000 people to capture Yulei Pass. Once the gate is closed, if the Shu army comes after hearing the news, then my own troops will be completely ruined.

"The general doesn't have enough ropes. You can only get to the end if you let some soldiers down first, and then turn the ropes upside down and upside down several times. But it will take at least three to five days." Huang Xi suggested.

Three or five days?Isn't the ration cut off again?Jiang Wei glanced around: "Li Fu, Zhang Te, tear down all the tents and connect the ropes."

The tents of the Shu army were demolished, and the ropes were still not enough, so there were only a hundred and ten long ropes of about [-] feet each.Jiang Wei ordered all the tents to be cut into three-foot strips.

Early the next morning, Jiang Wei made a bag of armor, wrapped his body with the felt that accompanied the army, put the armor bag on his back, stood on the mountain and threw the iron gun far away. "Like me, or wrap your body with felt or tent cloth, and wear armor on your back."

"I'm waiting for you gentlemen at the foot of the mountain." After finishing speaking, Jiang Wei led more than a hundred strong men to slide down the Motian Ridge along the rope.

Looking down from the top of the ridge, they saw that Jiang Wei had been slipping the end of the rope, and then rolled down the gentle slope with the felt tightly on his body. He said that it was a gentle slope, but the slope was relatively small, and the people on the ridge were dumbfounded.After about thirty breaths, I heard Jiang Wei's voice: "I have descended safely, and the remaining mountain road is enough to walk..."

Deng Xian, Li Fu and the others looked at each other, then spread their hands at Huang Xi and Li Sheng: "Please, two generals!"

Madman, Jiang Wei is a madman.Huang Xi and Li Sheng had no choice but to slip down the rope, and then rolled down the mountain just like Jiang Wei.The Wei army began to descend the ridge in groups of a hundred people.There wasn't enough felt for the army, not enough felt for the Shu army, and not enough tent cloth to cut open, so they used sacks for food, and even the clothes of the dead patrol captain and his men were stripped from the corpses. The thick ones are not thick enough, and it took a full day for 2 people to go down the mountain.

After going down the ridge, they began to pick up weapons and calculate the losses.The loss was really not small. More than a thousand people fell to their deaths directly, one thousand were seriously injured, and two thousand were slightly injured. Fortunately, in May, when the vegetation sprouted and dead bodies blocked it, Jiang Wei ordered the soldiers in Xialing to take off the blankets. Even so, Wei Jun fell to the ground one by one, staring at gold stars. Li Sheng, who was in the second batch of descending hills, unfortunately hit his head on a rock and died.

Looking back at Motianling, Wei Jun couldn't believe it one by one, just came down like this?
After a short break, Jiang Wei ordered Li Fu to stop, and ordered Ma Zhen to lead the way and go straight to Jiangyou.It was said that after the end, after the army left, Li Fu ordered the lightly wounded soldiers to go first, and he took a hundred confidants to kill all the seriously wounded.

Jiangyou City was not prepared at all, and there were no soldiers guarding it. A thousand guards were taken away by Ma Zhen, and there were only a hundred stragglers who guarded the gate and patrolled.With a wave of Zhang Te's knife, a thousand Wei soldiers rushed into the county town after killing and scattering the gatekeepers, and Jiang Wei's brigade immediately entered the city.

Ma Miao, the magistrate of Jiangyou County, became a prisoner in a daze, and surrendered immediately.When the news spread to the back house, his wife, Mrs. Li, scolded Ma Miao for being unfaithful and unrighteous, and hanged herself to death.

Jiang Wei ordered the army to take the time to rest and repair the armor. Ma Miao and Zhang Te searched for hundreds of stones of grain and grass, ten horses, and hundreds of armors, which were far from meeting Jiang Wei's needs.

Ma Miao's face was bitter, "General, it is not easy for the small Jiangyou County to have such military capital, but Mianzhu is an important town, and most of the military capital is in Mianzhu."

Mianzhu is the gateway of Chengdu. Jiang Wei is eager to open the gate of Chengdu and obtain equipment.The success of smuggling to Yinping by oneself is only half, how to survive in the enemy's rear is the key to obtaining the results.

"Do you know who is guarding Mianzhu?"

"The one who guards Mianzhu is Liu Xun, the eldest son of Liu Zhang, the former Yizhou herdsman. By the way, there is also Li Yan. Li Yan was dismissed by Liu Chan as the captain of the guard."
