Chapter 986: Shu Dao Difficulty (Second Update)
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A series of explosions accompanied by smoke resounded in the Jiameng Pass, and the whole earth began to shake.
Wei Yi's face was very ugly, staring at everything in front of him.
The tall wall trembled in the roar, and countless sand, stone, smoke and dust fell in front of Wei Yi, making Wei Yi suddenly have the illusion of an earthquake.
"General, this place is dangerous, don't stay for long!" The captain of Wei Yi's personal guard shouted a warning to Wei Yi, and then dragged him out of Jia Meng Pass.
There is a road leading directly to Niutou Mountain behind Jiameng Pass, so after a while, Wei Yi is standing halfway up Niutou Mountain.
From this point of view, the entire Jiameng Pass was filled with smoke and dust, and the screams of the soldiers of the Qin army could be heard from time to time in the explosion that soared into the sky.
Wei Yi's heart was like a knife, and he couldn't help but slam his fist on a tree beside him: "Heaven-shaking thunder, this damn sky-shaking thunder!" β
Something like earth-shattering thunder, Wei Yi actually didn't think about countermeasures in advance, but the problem is that Wei Yi thought about it and found out that he really didn't have a good way.
"Unlessβsend an elite army to kill it and destroy Zhao Jun's trebuchet!" The light in the captain's eyes flickered,
As long as the trebuchet is destroyed, then Zhao Jun must return to his normal attack form, and must fill in a path to the pass with human lives.
Wei Yi thought about it for a long time and decided to take a gamble.
So soon, a group of five hundred elites mixed with twenty Qin Ruishi began to quietly descend the mountain and launched an assault on the Zhao army's trebuchet position in front of the pass.
The efforts of the Qin craftsmen were not completely in vain, and some of these Qin Ruishi carried the Qin version of gunpowder, as long as they could get close and detonate, it would be more than enough to blow up a trebuchet.
However, it turned out that Wei Yu was overthinking.
At the moment when Wei Yu's assault team appeared, the Zhao army ambush soldiers ten times their size also appeared.
A very fierce battle ensued.
Wei Yu bit his lip and spent a lot of willpower to keep himself from giving the order to continue to send troops down the mountain to rescue.
After all, Wei Yu also knew very well that since the Zhao army was already prepared, sending more troops was actually just continuing to die.
"Good." Wei Yi gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Since this is the case, then I want to see if this Zhao Army's earth-shattering thunder can be so effective, and even my Jia Meng Pass can break through!" β
β¦β¦
The battle at Jiamengguan on the side of Jinniu Road is fierce, while on the other side of Micang Road, everything is still calm.
Mt. Rice Cang is also known as Daba Mountain and Little Bus Mountain, so the road is also known as Big Bus Road and Little Bus Road, but generally speaking, people here prefer to call this road Rice Cang Road.
"Reading the Minutes of Reading History and Public Opinion" notes: "From Nanzheng to the south, follow the mountains to Bazhou in Baoning Prefecture, Sichuan, which is the Micang Road. β
"Taiping Guangji" quoted "Yutang Gossip": "There is a big bamboo road in the south of Xingyuan, which leads to Bazhou. The road is deep and steep rocks, touching the stones, and reaching the top of the mountain in three days. Pedestrians stop at the waist, tie their waists with vines, and sleep on the trees. Otherwise, it will fall into a deep stream, and if it sinks into a yellow spring. Its top is called a lonely cloud and two corners. There is a proverb in it: lonely clouds, two corners, go to the sky and hold it. β
Another note: "Qin Min is a businessman...... It is called a bus road, and it is called a small bus road. Dangerous peaks and ravines, ape paths, bird paths, road sleeping, and putting an end to human population. Flocks of birds travel with food. Only then did he climb the thin path, chased it for the tiger, but slept on the left side of the road, and the tiger suddenly went away from the crowd with words. β
For a team of 5,000 people, there is actually nothing to be afraid of such a thing, but the steepness of the Micang Road still made Zhao Kuo, who had just experienced the Meridian Road, suffer a lot.
As the saying goes, "Shu Road is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky." "In the sweltering summer season, navigating the narrow mountain paths under the watchful eye of countless poisonous insects and beasts is definitely not a pleasant experience.
In the past few days alone, some of Zhao Kuo's subordinates have died by falling off a cliff, some have been bitten by poisonous snakes and poisonous insects and have been poisoned, and some have died of vomiting and diarrhea because the climate is not adaptable...... There are many ways to die.
A shocking fact is that in these days, Zhao Kuo has lost more than five hundred manpower, which is completely unexpected by Zhao Kuo.
Today's Zhao Kuo is no different from the past, walking through the steep mountain path with his head down.
Suddenly, a slight sound came from above Zhao Kuo's head, and Zhao Kuo raised his head violently in his heart, only to find a poisonous snake with its teeth open, and swooped down from the branch above Zhao Kuo's head like lightning.
Zhao Kuo didn't dodge, stretched out his right hand violently, grabbed the snake's seven inches accurately, and then threw the poisonous snake into the mountain stream a few steps away.
"How long will it take to arrive?" Zhao Kuo turned around and stared viciously at the Guanzhong guide behind him.
The murderous aura in his eyes was not deceitful.
The guide's body was agitated, and he hurriedly smiled: "The general should be patient for the time being, and he will be able to walk out in a few hours at most." β
"A few hours!" Zhao Kuo repeated it very unhappily, and then said fiercely: "You said such things to General Ben this morning, and now it's noon!" If I can't see the end of this path before dusk, hum ......"
"Whoosh!" At this moment, a rapid sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded.
Zhao Kuo almost didn't think about it, and the whole person instantly jumped into the bushes around him.
I saw a scream sound, and the guide standing behind Zhao Kuo was hit by an arrow in the chest, and the whole person walked a few steps obliquely to the side as if he was drunk, and then fell into the bottomless mountain stream.
Zhao Kuo was afraid for a while, and immediately shouted: "There is an enemy!" β
In fact, there was no need for Zhao Kuo to shout, and several Zhao Army scouts who were walking in front of Zhao Kuo had already brandished their swords and rushed into the dense forest on the side.
After a short but fierce battle, the corpses of several Qin army scouts were placed in front of Zhao Kuo, and at the same time, there was also a Qin army captive who was tied up with flowers.
Zhao Kuo looked at the Qin army prisoner in front of him, an extremely dangerous light flashed in his eyes, he pulled out a sharp short dagger from his waist, and squatted down with a smile.
A moment later, Zhao Kuo casually wiped the blood from the blade of the dagger on the corpse of the Qin army captive in front of him, smashed his mouth, and then showed a smile of longing.
"Li Bing? 20,000 Qin troops? It's kind of interesting...... The second and third sons, who have a lot of military exploits in the past, and go with me to take them together! β
