Li Shiqi turned back and met a large group of Qin troops on the way. He immediately met Wang Zhu and conveyed Wei Bao's intention! Wang Zhu kept sneering, bastard, sooner or later I will make you look good, you just wait for me

!

The Qin army marched around the Chaoge Line towards Wuguan. Three days later, they arrived outside Wuguan City. Guard General Qu Yudong came out of the city to greet him and reported the latest round of battle to Wang Zhu!

Linjiang King Gong Ao led more than 100,000 men and four gates to besiege Shu County for three consecutive days day and night. Dead bodies piled up inside and outside the city, but they could not step into the city tower. In addition, Gongzi Ying had urgently mobilized 20,000 Guanzhong troops to

Huan Yan, the commander of the imperial guard, is a general and has gone to help, but he has not arrived yet.

"Why so slow?" Wang Zhu frowned!

Wang Ben said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The road from Guanzhong to Hanzhong is really difficult. Just the three-hundred-mile cliff plank road that is difficult for birds to cross, I'm afraid it will take two or three days. After leaving the plank road, there are still

The entrance of Xiegu, known as the Five Hundred Mile Heavenly Prison, is full of difficulties when climbing over mountains and ridges. It is the rainy season right now, and there must be flash floods in Xiegu and Ziwu Valley again, with mud and rocks everywhere. It is a good thing not to be trapped in the valley!"

Wang Zhu calculated silently and said sadly: "Twenty thousand horses will take three days to walk, and it will take more than ten days for the hundreds of thousands of troops to pass. It will take at least a month to reach the outside of Shu County. Zhao Bihe

Qi Gill, I'm afraid that Shu County has been lost long ago, what should I do?"

Wang Ben said: "It is best to try to get some ships to send 20,000 elite troops to cross the Han River. I promise to capture Jiangling within three days, and then send naval troops to guard the Wushan waterway, so that Gong Ao can stay in Shu County."

There is no way to advance or retreat under the city!"

Wang Zhu also knew that the only way to save Shu County was by water, but Wuguan had only fought on land for a long time, and there were so many ships coming there.

Qu Yudong said: "There are only a few hundred ships at the Han River ferry, which can accommodate about 10,000 people and 20,000 people crossing the river. This - we can only start building ships now. But the wood that has just been cut down is too moist, and it is impossible to build ships at all.

It must be dried for dozens of days a month.”

Isn’t that nonsense? After the ship was built, the Han River froze.

"I have an idea. Huanjie, Qu Yudong, and Xin Sheng immediately send troops to the nearby mountains to cut down wood. The faster the better, and the more the better. Li Shiqi, Jin Qiang, and Xia Houying quickly go to each house.

Every household collects 'porcelain vases with small mouths and big bellies', so be quick!" Wang Zhu suddenly remembered the method Han Xin used when he destroyed Wei.

All the generals were baffled by this, but Wang Zhu was the only one who was confident.

In one day, wood and porcelain bottles had piled up like a mountain. Wang Zhu also ordered people to seal the mouths of the pot-bellied bottles and arrange them in a rectangular shape with the mouth facing down and the bottom facing up. Then, they were tied tightly with ropes and sandwiched between the wood.

It became a raft that could carry two hundred people! In two days, the soldiers built a hundred wooden poppies by the Hanshui River.

Li Shiqi sighed and said, "This, is this possible?" Wang Zhu was not sure at all. He only knew that Han Xin used this method to sneak across the Yellow River and destroy Wei Bao.

"This thing is called 'Wooden Poppy'. I studied it by referring to many classics and using my own wisdom. It has been tested in the Weishui River and it is absolutely useful." Wang Zhu encouraged morale!

Wang Ben guessed Wang Zhu's thoughts and quickly confirmed it; "Yes, I also saw the king testing it by the Wei River. It is actually stronger than a big ship. If you don't believe it, I am willing to be the first to get on."

Although the north is dry, there have been heavy rains for several days near the Han River. The water level of the Han River has risen rapidly, and huge waves are surging like a wild beast, running wildly and submerging many farmhouses along the coast. Like silver horses, rolling toward

It goes south and flows into the Yangtze River.

Whether it was a deliberate arrangement or just bad luck, the timing couldn't have been better for us to attack Qin this time. With this rainy season, the connection between Guanzhong and Shu was basically cut off.

Whether marching by water or by land, there are certain dangers.

The soldiers of the Qin army looked at the turbulent river, and they felt a little frightened in their hearts! Wang Ben raised his sword, raised his arms and shouted: "Warriors of Qin, the heroic soul of the First Emperor is calling. There is nothing to be afraid of, the soldiers of Qin. Why don't you still?"

How long will it take to get on the boat?!" After saying that, he jumped on the wooden poplar first. Zhang Yi and Qin Aiao looked at each other, knelt down in front of Wang Zhu, and said sternly: "Don't worry, your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the six countries were afraid of Qin in the past.

The army is like a flock of sheep, afraid of tigers and wolves. Today, the generals and others will not lose the reputation of Great Qin! In five days at most, there will be good news!"

After hearing this, Wang Zhu was a little excited. He stood by the Majiang River, looking at the huge waves, looking back at the dark Qin army behind him, thinking that the great Qin Dynasty, which he once looked down upon, was actually defeated by the Qin Dynasty within three years.

The prodigal son of the Second World was left in a mess. He took a deep breath, helped the second general up, and said in a trembling voice: "This is the key battle for the resurgence of the Qin Dynasty. Success or failure depends on this one move. Please take care of me!"

Zhang Yi and Qin Aiao didn't say anything. There was an extremely loyal and resolute look on their faces. They clasped their fists and turned around and jumped on the wooden poplar. Two hundred wooden poppies and two hundred warships carried a total of three elite Qin army cavalry and infantry.

Ten thousand, powerful and mighty, rushed into the center of the river and shot southward along the current.

Wang Ben stood on the bow of the ship as if cast from iron, his white hair floating in the air and majestic. He suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted loudly: "The Qin Dynasty will win, and the king will win!"

The Qin army on the nearby ship shouted at the same time: "The Great Qin will win, the Great Qin will win -" The river wind was biting and the war flags were hunting. The generals felt their scalps numb and excited!

"Bang the drum! Cheer!"

While the war drums were rumbling, Wang Zhu gave an order, and all the rest of the troops entered Wuguan, and rushed towards the Baoxie plank road four hundred miles away at the fastest speed.

The total number of Qin troops on land was about 150,000. In order to alleviate the difficulty of transporting grain and grass on mountain roads, Wang Zhu selected another 50,000 troops. The remaining 100,000 troops were stationed at Wuguan. He ordered Qu Yudong and Xia Houying

He stayed behind, making wood poppies day and night, and continuously sent more troops to Jiangling.

The steepness of the natural chasm on the Baoxie Plank Road far exceeded Wang Zhu's imagination, and was even worse than Zhuge Liang's description. Wang Zhu immediately stood on the cliff and looked far into the distance. In front of him was a vast, desolate land.

It's like arriving at the time when the world was just created. The setting sun, rivers, waterfalls, quiet valleys, and precipitous peaks constitute a Jedi scenery that is suffocating and cold to the soul. In addition to birds of prey like male eagles hovering in the sky,

There are fierce jackals, tigers and leopards, and there are almost no weak animals. It must be caused by the harsh living environment.

Wang Zhu was even afraid that another Tyrannosaurus rex would jump out accidentally! That would be terrible!

The howling mountain wind blew away Wang Ao's official hat, and his long black beard slapped his eyelids, making him shed tears. Wang Zhu laughed loudly.

Wang Ao sighed and said, "Bashu, Hanzhong is remote and remote, with barren land. It is full of barren mountains and cliffs. It has not been harvested for ten years. It is a poor place where rabbits cannot poop. It has always been a place where Qin State exiled sinners. From Shu

Wang Duyu established the political power here until King Qin Hui made his son Tongguo the king of Shu. After hundreds of years, the residents here were basically in a semi-barbaric state. When Tongguo came, the place was still full of miasma and poisonous smoke.

, after Shang Yang's reform, there was a slight improvement, but the production level was still low. Although the place was vast, the people were stupid, the land was fragmented, and there was not more than half the population of Guanzhong. However, the silk Shu brocade and ironware here are famous all over the world, and Da Qin has

The world actually has something to do with these things.

"Then you can't throw it away!" Wang Zhu's eyes drew an arc, crossing the cliff from the plank road in front of him, frowning, thinking hard, how to pass quickly?! It seems that,

There is still a big gap between Shuzhong at this time and Shuzhong of the Three Kingdoms four hundred years later. It has not been developed at all and is in a semi-barren state!

The mountains here are crisscrossed and connected, with dangerous rocks and cliffs, and the roads are difficult and dangerous. The plank roads on the steep slopes of the mountains are built with wooden piles driven into the cliffs, and then wooden boards are laid on the wooden piles. Due to serious water and soil erosion

, the rocks are exposed, and the mountain looks iron-gray from a distance, looking gloomy, cold, monotonous in color, and lifeless. This kind of mountain does not support people and is very barren. Due to the lack of vegetation, the rock walls on the top of the mountain are often damaged by wind and rain.

When crushed and exploded, rubble as big as a rubber ball may fly out at any time, smashing a person's head into a rotten watermelon.

In any case, now that we have arrived here, can we still retreat and return the way we came? We can only face the scalp and rush forward. Wang Zhu was the first to rush onto the plank road, followed by Zhang Han, Sima Xin, Li Shiqi, and Huan

Generals such as Yan and Wang Ao were ordered to go to the central army to suppress the formation and stabilize the morale of the army.

The rickety plank road, if a person is not careful when walking on it, he will fall into the abyss and be broken into pieces. On the left is a huge stone wall, towering into the clouds. From head to toe, it is full of bare black rocks, and the valley is filled with mist.

The mist was like a gauze. When I turned to the right and looked to the right, I saw a bottomless ravine and misty clouds. I immediately felt cold all over my body and dizzy. When walking on the plank road, everyone's feet were floating, and I felt like I was soaring in the clouds.

Wang Zhu felt slightly better than the soldiers behind him because he had received aviation training. As an all-round special forces soldier, he also had to know some flying and driving techniques. After quickly adjusting his mental state, Wang Zhu gradually became more stable.

When he came down, everyone else got off their horses and walked, but he took the lead and straddled the horse. Li Shiqi and Huan Jue both sweated for him and shouted from behind: "Your Majesty, you can't do it, it's too dangerous.

"

Riding on a horse like this, the body is nearly one meter higher than the guardrail. The strong mountain wind blows over, and the long sleeves of the broad robe are fluttering, as if they are about to be blown away. The people watching from behind unconsciously tighten their leg muscles to help him.

Wang Zhu laughed hard and said, "What's the big deal? If I hadn't been tired from riding these days, I would have planned to gallop!" Li Sheqi almost died of fright on the spot, his voice trembling like vibrating strings.

"Your Majesty, please don't leave. The rock walls here are uneven. If you don't have time to escape, just--" Wang Zhu doesn't know how to gallop on a horse. He is also afraid of death. He rides on a horse just to boost his morale.

He told the soldiers not to be afraid, so as to ensure the speed of the march. As expected, the soldiers of the Qin army were very courageous, took big steps, and started marching on the plank road.

The house is leaking but it rains continuously, the boat is broken and the wind is blowing!

It was the Qin army's misfortune. After two days of walking on the plank road, there was a sudden heavy rain. There was a loud "crack" sound, the sky collapsed, the dark clouds darkened, and darkness came over them. There were thunderous thunders, like the bursting of dead trees.

Golden lightning flashes were like countless golden snakes darting among the dark clouds, followed by heavy rain and violent storms. Wang Zhu couldn't even jump off his horse in time before he was blown down the valley by a strong wind. Fortunately, he was quick and caught it.

The wooden railing on the plank road was pushed up with all his strength, and his body did a somersault in the air, and then jumped up again. The railing was struck by Wang Zhu's strong force, and it immediately made a snapping sound, broke and fell, and a gap appeared on the plank road.

Teeth! It looked even more terrifying. The heavy rain hit his body like countless steel whips. Wang Zhu was soaked all over, but he couldn't tell whether it was cold sweat or rain.

Li Shiqi and others were also stunned, their hearts beating like drums!

It rained heavily all day and all night, and 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers were exposed to the cold and water on the long plank road without any protection. There was no way to do it, because the plank was too slippery, so the marching speed was slowed down again.

Twice, there was a long and shrill scream from the soldier falling into the canyon behind him.

"ah--"

Every time such a sound is made, Wang Zhu's heart hurts as if it were pricked by ten thousand steel needles!

A day and night of heavy rain finally triggered a flash flood. The turbid flood brought all the mud and rocks from the fields on the top of the mountain. Just under the plank road, the huge waves emptied and washed away. As far as Wang Zhu could see, it was dim and desolate.

, a war horse lost its footing and fell, and was immediately swallowed up by the mudslide with floating white foam, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The soldiers who marched all night were tired and hungry, and each one was as cold as a cold bird. However, Wang Zhu did not dare to order a rest, because the sky was still not clear at this time, and the sky was so hazy that water could squeeze out at any time.

If we don't pass quickly, I'm afraid many soldiers will be sent to hell by the violent storm. Fortunately, the soldiers have no complaints, because the king and all the generals are starving and freezing with them, and the soldiers are moved.

I have nothing to say, I just hope that I can work hard and break out of this hell as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, dark clouds piled up like tiles again, and within an hour, the sky turned black into lead. All the firearms were wetted by the rain, and there was no way to light the torches, so we had to walk in the dark. Wang Zhu's Psychology

I feel so uncomfortable that I’m going to die. God, are you kidding me? Do you want me to die here?

"Soldiers, we are almost reaching the finish line. Everyone speed up. In two hours, we will be able to get out. Hurry!" Wang Zhu encouraged morale while praying in his heart, hoping that God would not rain again. But the old man
Chapter completed!
