After the army rested for three days, they began to prepare to enter the mountain one after another, Mu Wu and the Wang brothers walked in the front, the three of them were all hunters who had walked on this road, and they were already familiar with how to enter the mountain, but the road they knew, or the road they could walk, the army might not be able to walk.

Because these roads are usually sheep's intestine trails, which can only be passed by one person, if the army also walks like them, then they should not think about passing this road for a year or two.

Therefore, Li Xin ordered Ye Mao to take a thousand foot soldiers, holding a long knife to open the way in front, and when he encountered thorns and obstacles along the way, he used the long knife to split directly, so as to directly open up a path for a hundred people to pass, and then the army slowly passed.

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

Fortunately, Li Xin's department is not the kind of rabble, these people are the elite of the forbidden army who are trained daily, and they can also order and prohibit them.

That's what Deng Ai did back then.

If it is an ordinary miscellaneous soldier, this kind of high-intensity march, the army has already complained and boiled, but because Li Xin is the elite of the forbidden army, and Li Xin himself is the general of the forbidden army, and he is the official leader of the righteous army, although these forbidden troops are hard, they can only bury their heads and work hard with Li Xin.

Until they reached Ferris Ridge.

It's a hillside.

The northwest slope of this mountain is gentle, and you can climb it slowly, led by Mu Wu and the Wang brothers, Li Xin and a few forbidden army guards, Zhichong Du Lieutenant, etc., all successfully climbed the Sky Ridge.

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

It's too steep.

At this time, Li Xin finally understood why the elite of Deng Ai's department was stuck here, and even asked Deng Ai himself to go down first, so they dared to follow.

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

Zhao Jia, the dog-headed military master standing next to Li Xin, also turned a little pale at this time.

After a month's march, neither Li Xin nor Zhao Jia had the clean appearance they used to have, because they had to walk in the mountains, they did not have many opportunities to take a bath, and it was unlikely that they would have the opportunity to trim their beards.

Zhao Youan turned his head to look at Li Xin and swallowed.

"Master Hou, here...... Can you go down? ”

Li Xin hadn't spoken yet, and Mu Wu on the side said with a smile: "Naturally, you can go down." ”

He greeted Wang Hu next to him and said, "Brother Hu, you go down first and show them to Master Hou." ”

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

Li Xin looked at Wang Hu's back, and he was also a little panicked.

To be honest, he's a bit afraid of heights right now.

But at this time, Li Xin himself must not panic, he is the main general of this army, and he is also the backbone, no matter what, at least he must be calm.

Marquis Li took a few deep breaths, and said in a deep voice to Mu Wu on the side: "Brother Mu family, you lead the way in front, and we will go down together." ”

Mu Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Hou, why don't you let the brothers pull the rope for you on it?" ”

"No, you don't."

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

At this time, it is naturally safe to tie the rope, but it is impossible for everyone to have this "safety rope", and since Li Xin wants to play a leading role, he cannot engage in "specialization".

Li Xin glanced back at Zhao Jia and ordered: "Brother You'an, after I successfully go down, you will command on this hillside, let the brothers behind throw the rope down first, and then climb down along the rope one by one." ”

Zhao Jia was also a little scared, he said in a low voice: "Master Hou, go down like this, so many of us ......"

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

In fact, this kind of terrain is not the most difficult to pass, and it is even more difficult to pass through the grain and grass, but as long as people go down, everything can be transported slowly if they have patience.

Zhao Jia nodded slowly, and then said to Li Xin: "Master Hou, if you don't go over......

"Then tell the brothers that I'm already down."

Li Houye gritted his teeth.

"We've come here, if we can't get through this Yinping Ancient Road, no one will be able to go back to the capital, and when we get here, there's no turning back!"

As he spoke, Li Xin tied his sleeves and trousers tightly, and said to Mu Wu: "Brother Mu, let's go." ”

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

The two of them followed the road that Wang Hu had explored before, and touched the foot of the mountain little by little, Mu Wu was born in Orion, not to mention 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 lives, so he could only slowly follow behind Mu Wu, groping down little by little. : :

Mu Wu had to stop from time to time, turn around and wait for Li Xin, and then reach out to help Li Xin.

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

Here I have to thank Wang Zhong for the boxing pile handed over to Li Xin in the past two years, if Li Xin in Chengde for seventeen years is here, most of them have fallen down at this time, but after more than two years of boxing pile, Li Xin has grown greatly than before in terms of physical strength and physical coordination, plus there is Mu Wu in front of the guide, although they are not happy, but they are quite stable.

When he went down to the halfway point of the mountain, Li Xinxin secretly sighed.

According to records, when Deng Ai took this road, because the supply of grain and grass was not available, the army was in trouble several times, even so, they still passed through the Motianling and arrived at Jiangyou Pass, which shows what kind of realm Deng Ai ruled the army at that time.

And Li Xin, because the Son of Heaven of Chengde left a rich family foundation to the new dynasty, whether it is Ye Ming's department or Li Xin's department, he has never lacked even a meal of food.

With these things in mind, Li Xin climbed down from the Sky Ridge step by step, and it took about an hour before Li Xin successfully reached the foot of the mountain.

Li Houye squatted on the ground, panting for breath.

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

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

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

At this time, the right hand of the Marquis of Jing'an, because he touched a sharp stone chip when he came down, was cut open, and blood was already flowing.

But at this time, nothing can be shown.

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

"A few generals, Master Hou said that you can go down!"
