Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 506 Crossing the Motian Ridge

After three days of rest, the army began to prepare to enter the mountain one after another. Mu Wu and the Wang brothers walked at the forefront. The three of them were hunters who had walked this road. They were already familiar with how to enter the mountain, but they knew the way, or Said they can walk the road, the army may not be able to walk.

  Because these roads are usually sheep intestines trails, only one person can pass through. If the army also walks one by one like them, then don’t think about going through this road for a year or two.

Therefore, Li Xin ordered Ye Mao to lead a thousand foot soldiers, holding a long knife to open the road in front of him. When he encountered thorns and obstacles along the way, he used the long knife to split directly, thus directly opening a path for a hundred people to pass through, and then The army passed slowly.

Because there are enough people in Li Xin's department, the more than 1,000 people who have opened the way in front can take turns, so the progress in the first few days is quite fast, basically a day can walk more than ten miles, but from Yinping to the southwest, the road The more difficult it is to walk, sometimes you will encounter rivers and have to stop to build bridges and pave roads, or even cut out a road.

Fortunately, Li Xin's department is not the kind of rabble. These people are the elites of the forbidden army who receive daily training, and they can also be banned. .

   That's what Deng Ai did back then.

If it is an ordinary soldier, this kind of high-intensity march, the army has long been complaining, but because Li Xin brings the elite of the forbidden army, Li Xin himself is the general of the forbidden army, and is the official leader of the eight classics. It's hard work, but I can only bury my head and work hard with Li Xin.

   until they reached Motianling.

   This is a hillside.

The northwest **** of this mountain is relatively gentle, and it can be climbed slowly. It was led by Mu Wu and the Wang family brothers, Li Xin, and several guards of the Imperial Army, Commander Zhechong, etc., all successfully climbed the skyscraper. ridge.

   But when Li Xin and others saw the southwest side of this hillside, he fell silent.

   is too steep.

   At this time, Li Xin finally understood why the elites under Deng Ai's team were so stagnant, and even asked Deng Ai himself to go down first before they dared to follow.

  Here, even if the mountain people are walking, they must be careful. The army will pass through here on a large scale, and many people will definitely die.

   The dog-headed military advisor Zhao Jia, who was standing beside Li Xin, was a little pale now.

After a month of marching, neither Li Xin nor Zhao Jia looked as clean as before. Because they had to walk in the mountains, they didn't have many opportunities to take a bath, and it was even less likely that they would have the opportunity to trim their beards. Everyone is unshaven and very sloppy.

   Zhao Youan turned to look at Li Xin and swallowed.

   "Master Hou, here... can I go down?"

   Li Xin hadn't spoken yet, but Mu Wu, who was beside him, said with a smile, "Of course I can go down."

   He greeted Wang Hu next to him and said, "Brother Hu, you go down and show Hou Ye and the others first."

   This Wang Hu nodded neatly, then tightened a piece of cloth on his arm, using both hands and feet, like a gibbon monkey, and quickly climbed down from the top of Motianling from the southwest.

  Li Xin looked at Wang Hu's back, and felt a little flustered in his heart.

   Honestly, he is a little afraid of heights now.

   But at this time, Li Xin himself must not panic. He is the main general and the backbone of this army. In any case, at least he must remain calm.

  Li Houye took a few deep breaths and said solemnly to Mu Wu who was beside him: "Brother Mu, you lead the way ahead, let's go down together."

   Mu Wu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master Hou, why don't you let your brothers pull the rope for you?"

"Need not."

   Li Xin swallowed and said, "Just go on like this."

   At this time, it is naturally safe to be tied with a rope, but it is impossible for everyone to have this "safety rope". Since Li Xin wants to play a leading role, he cannot be "specialized".

  Li Xin looked back at Zhao Jia and instructed: "Brother You An, after I successfully descend, you will command this hillside and let the brothers behind you throw the rope down first, and then climb down one by one along the rope."

   Zhao Jia was also a little scared, he whispered: "Master Hou, go on like this, there are so many of us..."

   Li Xin said in a deep voice: "Even if you stop here for ten days and eight days, you must also ensure that as few people die as possible."

   In fact, in this terrain, it is not the people who are the most difficult to pass through, and the food and grass are even more difficult to pass, but as long as people go down, anything can be transported slowly.

   Zhao Jia nodded slowly, and then said to Li Xin, "Master Hou, if you hadn't gone..."

   "Then also tell the brothers that I have gone down."

  Li Houye gritted his teeth.

   "We've already come here. If we can't get through this Yinping ancient road, everyone can't go back to the capital. When we get here, there's no turning back!"

   Having said that, Li Xin fastened his sleeves and trousers, and said to Mu Wu, "Brother Mu, let's go."

   Mu Wu took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Master Hou, follow me."

The two of them followed the road that Wang Hu had explored earlier, and touched the foot of the mountain little by little. Mu Wu was born as an hunter. He was not like walking on the mountain, but at least it was very easy, but Li Xin was different. He had never climbed such a steep mountain with his bare hands in his two lifetimes, so he could only slowly follow behind Mu Wu, groping down bit by bit.

   Mu Wu stopped from time to time, turned around and waited for Li Xin, and then stretched out his hand to help Li Xin.

   Although the speed of the two was not fast, they were indeed groping down little by little. Li Xin tried his best not to look down the slope, but just looked at the bottom of his feet little by little to ease the fear in his heart.

Here I have to thank Wang Zhong for the boxing pile that he gave to Li Xin in the past two years. If Li Xin was here in the 17th year of Chengde, he would probably have fallen down by this time, but the boxing pile that has been standing for more than two years will not be the same. At that time, Li Xin's physical strength and physical coordination ability were much improved than before, and with Mu Wu leading the way, they were quite stable even though they were unhappy.

When    descended to the middle of the mountain, Li Xinxin secretly sighed.

According to records, when Deng Ai took this road, the army was in trouble several times because of the lack of food and grass supply. Even so, they still crossed the Motianling and reached Jiangyou Pass. .

   And Li Xin, because the emperor of Chengde left a wealthy family for the new dynasty, up to now, neither Ye Ming's department nor Li Xin's department has lacked even a single meal of food.

   Thinking of this, Li Xin climbed down from the Motianling step by step. It took about an hour before and after Li Xin successfully reached the foot of the mountain.

  Li Houye squatted on the ground, gasping for breath.

   For a person who is a little afraid of heights, the journey just now is tantamount to a huge test.

   After a while, Li Xin slowly stood up, stretched out his hand and waved at the top of the mountain, indicating that the people on the mountain could come down slowly.

   He was waving his left hand, and his right was hidden behind him.

   At this time, the right hand of the Marquis of Jing'an was slashed because it came down with a sharp piece of stone, and blood was already flowing.

   But at this time, nothing can be shown.

   Zhao Jia on the top of the mountain saw Li Xin waving his arms, then turned his head and spoke to a few Zhechong commanders.

   "Several generals, Lord Hou said you can go down!"

   I believe everyone can see that the author struggled to write war, so even though this is a very important plot, I will try to abbreviate it as much as possible...
