Chapter 1013 Yinping Trail
Ailang led the army shortly before reaching Jiange.
The natural danger of Jiange is indeed well-known. The surrounding cliffs are thrust into the sky, and smoke and clouds are lingering in the air. The eagle roars around the cliffs. From time to time, the sound of stone falling from stones is heard from the mountains, which is thrilling.
A tall fortress lies in the narrow passage between the layers of cliffs, cutting off the winding mountain roads in the middle, which is the legendary Jiange natural danger.
When the army arrives here, it cannot advance any further. Only by breaking through the Jiange in front of you can you open the path to the Chengdu Plain.
The army led by Ailang rested under Jiange for a night and launched a fierce attack on Jiange early the next morning.
The sound of war drums was shocked by the mountains and the earth, and the warriors of the Qin army sacrificed their lives to attack! However, the rolling stones and arrows on the Sword Pavilion fell like raindrops, causing great casualties to the Qin army! The Qin army attacked for a whole day, not only failed to make any progress, but also lost more than 2,000 people! As night fell, the Qin army stopped the attack.
However, Liu Bei did not dare to neglect and did not bother to have supper to inspect the city wall.
On the top of the city, Liu Bei's army was having supper. When they saw Liu Bei coming, they stood up to salute. Liu Bei was humble and told everyone not to be too polite.
At this moment, there were loud bangs in the Qin army camp below the pass.
Liu Bei stopped and looked into the distance. He saw a busy scene in the Qin army camp.
Liu Bei knew that the other party must be rushing to make some siege equipment, so he was a little worried and ordered someone to call Pang Tong over.
Pang Tong hurriedly came and saluted Liu Bei and said, "Lord!"
Liu Bei pointed to the Qin army camp under the pass and said, "Shi Yuan, look at the busy scene in Lu Bu's military camp. It seems that he is rushing to make some siege equipment. What do you think?"
Pang Tong looked up at the Qin army camp, then smiled and clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Lord, don't worry! Jiange's natural dangers cannot be overcome by human power. No matter what equipment Lu Bu and the others make, it is impossible to break Jiange's defense!"
When Liu Bei heard Pang Tong say this, his worry calmed down a lot and nodded.
Then he said, "Although what Shi Yuan said is reasonable, we must be vigilant!"
Pang Tong said: "What the lord said is extremely true!"
He paused and said, "No matter what equipment the opponent made, it was made of wood after all. We only need to prepare more tincture oil and wait for the enemy to attack, just use fire to deal with them!"
Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he said happily: "What Shi Yuan said is so! Just do that!"
Then he asked people to prepare tinea oil for the Qin army to attack.
However, the Qin army's busyness lasted for three days, and did not come to attack the city for three days, but they were just rushing to make some equipment in the camp.
Liu Bei and the others only saw many wooden components that they had never seen before being made and piled up in the camp, but they had no idea what the purpose of those things was.
If you don’t know the purpose, you will inevitably feel suspicious and worried.
However, ordinary officers and soldiers were happy to be free. The Qin army did not come to attack, and integrated their intentions, and they wanted them not to attack forever.
At noon that day, Liu Bei inspected the city wall and returned to the hall of the city's capital to rest.
At this time, Pang Tong suddenly arrived in a hurry.
Seeing that Pang Tong was coming in such a hurry, Liu Bei felt a sudden move and asked hurriedly: "Shi Yuan, has the enemy army moved?"
Pang Tong came to the hall and clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "The enemy still did not move! Lord, my subordinates thought there might be a fraud in this!" Liu Bei asked in confusion: "What does Shi Yuan mean?"
Pang Tong said: "I think the act of rushing equipment in the enemy camp is just their bluffing trajectory.
I’m afraid their real intention is to find a small path around Jiange to catch us off guard!”
Liu Bei was startled, but then he felt that it was impossible. He smiled and said, "Ma Chao had the same idea before, but he didn't find it after all! This Jiange natural danger blocked the only way to enter Chengdu from the north. It was impossible for them to bypass this place! Shi Yuan, don't worry about it!"
Pang Tong said anxiously: "I originally thought so! However, just now my subordinates accidentally learned a situation from an old man in the local area! According to the old man, there is a difficult and dangerous path to bypass Jiange!..." Liu Bei was startled and asked quickly: "Be serious about this?"
Pang Tong nodded, pointed to a mountainous mountain west of Jiange in front of Liu Bei's leadership map and said, "According to the old man, the path is at this location. Since there is a small town called Yinping in the mountains and ridges, it is called Yinping Path! My subordinates suspected that Lu Bu deliberately bluffed in front of us, but in fact he sent someone to smuggle the Yinping Path!"
Liu Bei suddenly became nervous, but then smiled and said, "Even if there is such a Yinping Path, how can Lu Bu know?
I see Shi Yuan, you are too worried!"
Pang Tong hurriedly said, "Lord, don't forget Zhuge Liang!"
Liu Bei was stunned.
Pang Tong continued: "When Zhuge Liang was in charge of military affairs in central Sichuan, he had traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Xichuan, but I'm afraid he had already noticed the existence of Yinping Path!"
Liu Bei's face turned pale and he just felt that things were not good.
Then he ordered someone to call Liu Feng and ordered him to immediately lead three thousand elite troops to the Yinping Path, and asked Pang Tong to summon the old man who told him the Yinping Path as Liu Feng's guide.
Liu Feng led three thousand elite soldiers to leave Jiange hurriedly, and under the guidance of the old man, he walked straight to the west along the steep mountain road.
Their group had been trekking among the steep mountains for almost two days, and a mountain that was opposite to a cliff immediately caught my eye! Everyone was already panting.
Liu Feng saw that there were steep mountains in front of him, and the wind was like swords and halberds piercing straight into the sky. Where can I go?
He couldn't help but say to the old man who led the way in anger: "Old man, are you talking nonsense?
Where is the road here?”
The old man quickly pointed to the steep mountain ridge opposite the cliff, which was almost cliffy, and said, "The Yinping Path is on that side!"
Then he pointed to a mountain bend with a huge drop on the left and said, "You must go down from the path here to go around the Yinping path there!"
Then he walked to the front and led the way.
Liu Feng was very depressed and had to lead his army to follow.
Suddenly, a scream suddenly came.
The officers and soldiers who were carefully down were startled! Looking in the sound, they saw that someone was sliding down from the steep path and falling into the abyss. The figure instantly turned into an ant. It took a while to hear the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, but it was just a faint sound. From this, you can imagine how deep the cliff was! Liu Feng withdrew his gaze and saw that everyone was stunned. He immediately shouted: "Continue to move forward!"
The team moved again, but it was more careful than before! The group took a long time to go down to the bottom of the bend, and then climbed up the steep mountain path.
When they were exhausted and panting, they finally reached the highest point, it was already late.
The old man who led the way said anxiously: "We must hurry up and rest at the 'Xianren Shagu Ping' in front.
Otherwise, it would be very dangerous to stop on this steep mountain road when the sky became completely dark!”
Liu Feng also knew this and immediately ordered all the officers and soldiers to speed up.
Before we knew it, the sun had completely set, and a bright moon appeared on the top of the mountain. The cliff and wall reflected the bright moon, showing an indescribable beauty, as if it was not the world, but like a landscape in the sky.
At this time, Liu Feng's army finally passed through the steep and steep mountain path and came to a huge platform.
The magical craftsmanship of nature is amazing. This platform is not only extremely flat, but also seems to be hanging in the air. No wonder it is called the immortal shining ground! The officers and soldiers are already exhausted at this point.
Liu Feng ordered that he stay here tonight and rest for one night.
The officers and soldiers reached out to find firewood and started cooking. The aroma of food soon filled the wilderness.
Liu Feng sat on a stone and asked the old man standing beside him: "Old man, how long will it take to walk forward from here before he can get out?"
The old man said, "If you go back to the general, you will probably have to walk for a few more days."
Liu Feng nodded and said to himself: "I didn't find anything unusual along the way. The Qin army has never discovered this Yinping path."
He then asked the old man: "If I want to set up a camp, is there a better place on this Yinping Path than this immortal's sanitary glutinous rice paddle?"
The old man shook his head without thinking, "This immortal is unique in the valley drying floor! Walk forward unless you walk out of the Yinping Path, there will be no such good place again!"
When Liu Feng heard this, he decided to set up a camp in Xianren Shaguping to prevent the enemy from smuggling through Yinping Path.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were setting up fires and cooking, they planned to set up a camp after they were full.
An officer rushed to Liu Feng with a bowl of hot cooked meat, put the bowl of cooked meat on it, and said, "General, the meat has been cooked!"
Liu Feng nodded, took the meat bowl, smelled the smell of meat, and felt that he was so hungry that he could not bear it.
I immediately grabbed a piece of cooked meat with my hands and swallowed it voraciously.
Wow! A sharp roar of wind suddenly came from the air! Before Liu Feng could react, the officer standing in front of him screamed and fell into his arms, knocking the meat bowl in his hand to the ground.
Liu Feng was shocked and saw a wolf-tooth arrow inserted in the back of the officer?
! Before he could understand what was going on, a sharp roar of wind flew from the high cliff opposite! Liu Bei's officers and soldiers who were eating voraciously were shot down countless times! The scene immediately became chaotic! "No! There are enemies!"
Someone shouted, and the officers and soldiers grabbed their weapons and raised their shields.
Arrows kept flying, and the sharp roar of wind was like the grim smile of a demon in the dark! Liu Beijun held his shield and kept shrinking back, but was constantly knocked to the ground by the arrows flying from the other party! Many corpses fell down from the platform, and blood dyed the stone platform black! Those who were not dead were struggling with difficulty, but his companions did not dare to come forward to rescue him! At this moment, a huge shout sounded, echoing between the cliffs, which was very huge and extremely amazing! Liu Bei's officers and soldiers looked around in a pale face, looking at him at a loss.
