Galloping all the way from Lantian to here, arriving in Wancheng earlier than Yingshi who went down from the Dan River, Xiong Jing was already very tired. Hearing that the Qin people were going to invade the Nanzheng Basin by land, his mind was mixed up, and his heart was inexplicably on fire. I want to blame Li and it's not easy to blame, because the rainy season is not connected; If you want to complain about Lu Gao, you can't, this person doesn't hold any position, just a helper.

The Qin army attacked Nanzheng, not to mention Bashu, not to mention Nanzheng City, Xiong Jing deplored the most that the four divisions and one brigade of the Xi Division, plus the artillery and engineering soldiers, more than 30,000 people were isolated from Chu by the Qin army. There are also 15,000 people in the two divisions of Douyu Pheasant, they are far away in Longxi, and the Qin army enters Nanzheng, and they can only return to Chu from Bashu. But the rest division held on for more than ten days at most, and when they ran out of food and abandoned the water to reconnect, the Qin people went south, and it was estimated that the 15,000 people would not be able to return home by detouring to Bashu.

"Qipanling is unmanned?" Zhuang Wudi was also on the side. The Baochu Road is almost all plank roads, especially the Qipanling in the west of Baogukou is the most dangerous. Before the Eastern Han Dynasty boiled water to open the Shimen Tunnel, it was necessary to cross the Qipanling in the west of Baoshui to enter and exit the Baogu Valley.

"Whose fiefdom is Baocheng?" Zhuang Wudi reminded him, and Xiong Jing remembered Baocheng. Climb over the Qipanling out of the Bao Valley, the west side of the Bao River is the Bao City. Baocheng controls Baoshui, and whoever is sealed in Baocheng will be responsible for Qipanling.

"It's Chengkui." The entire Nanzheng Basin is Ruo Ao's, and Baocheng is not a county, but a yi. "Cheng Kui saved the king, so he was sealed in Baocheng, but there was no title of king, and Qipanling was garrisoned by the Cheng family."

"Is it a pawn?" Xiong Jing thought of this marksman and sighed secretly.

"I don't know." War is only concerned with victory and defeat, and rarely with the death of a certain person. Li said: "If the Qin people go to Qipanling after tomorrow, at this time, the teachers of the Zhu clan have arrived, and Nanzheng should be worry-free. If so......"

The Qin people went south by land because of the news sent by Xishi, this is just speculation, across the huge Mandarin Crane Mountain, Xishi does not know whether the Qin people really went to Nanzheng. After receiving the news, he looked at the map and was startled, and the guess of the rest master seemed to him to be undoubted.

Bao slope road, Lantian Valley Road, although these roads have plank roads, but the plank road is for the convenience of driving, there was no plank road in ancient times, the ancestors were on foot from these valleys over the Qinling Mountains. In Li's opinion, the Qin people would definitely turn into the Baochuan Road along the newly opened road, and then follow the Baochuan Road to the south to cross the Qipanling and attack Baocheng and Nanzheng.

Nan Zheng was in a period of emptiness at this time, and if he couldn't catch it, he would definitely be in chaos, maybe Nan Zheng Zhen would be pulled out by the Qin people. He even had in mind the best candidate for the Qin people to attack Nanzheng: the rebel general Jing Hua. He took the Qin soldiers of Jiuying and Fangcheng to the south, and went south from the Baochuan Road with an authentic Chu Yin, even if he didn't have a rune seal in his hand, he could half-deceive and half-take through the plank road.

"How about the Bigwing Gunboat?" Nan Zheng was thousands of miles away, and after Xiong Jing took a few breaths, he calmed down.

"Two boats have been built at the boatyard, which are still being tested and have not yet been finalized. The officials of the boat did not yet know how to fight, and it was difficult to fulfill the order. He explained.

"It doesn't have to be complicated." Xiong Jing emphasized. "Rapid modification! Hurry up and get to Osawa! If you can't, if you can't......"

The last time the Chu army attacked Lingguan Gorge from Fuyi, it took almost a year. Even if there were gunboats, if the Qin people were not invincible, they would sink boats in the upper canyon and block them, and it was impossible to rescue the division by water, so they could only be rescued by land. There is no need for large-wing gunboats on land, but if the Qin army burns the plank road from Baogukou to Yuanhu Mountain, it will take more than ten days for their side to attack Yuanhu Mountain.

"It is necessary to try to save them." Feeling that there was no way to rescue the rest division and other divisions, Xiong Jing could only pin his hopes on Li Ji.

"Yui." He solemnly agreed. Xiong Jing can think of what he can think of, and he can naturally think of it. He regretted a little that he didn't wait for the Xiang division who went south to Wancheng, and on the same day, he urgently ordered Jing Gu to lead the five divisions of the Zhu clan to go to Nanzheng Fuyi to rescue. There are only more than 30,000 people in the fifth division, and some of them are still old Ying's soldiers, if tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Qin army are killed from Baogukou, will they be defeated?

In Wancheng, Xiong Jing and Li and Don't discuss the military situation with me. On the Baogu Road, as Li He imagined, it was the rebel general Jing Hua who led the Qin army's front army to the south quickly. Wei Yi thought all night, and could only order the Qin army to abandon the boat by land, from the Chu army's newly opened road to the Bao Slope Road, and then from the Bao Slope Road out of the Bao Valley, straight into the Nanzheng Basin.

Although the Chu army burned the bridge and set up a pass to garrison the pass, these tens of thousands of Qin troops still passed through, but each of them only carried five days of dry food, without any baggage, at most some detachable ballistae carried by horses, this kind of ballista can only blast open the wooden city gate, and the stone gate inside cannot be blasted open.

The autumn rain continued, relying on an authentic Chu Yin and holding the Cai Shi Fu Festival that he had found, Jinghua went south unimpeded, and when he saw the Chengzi military flag in the autumn wind and autumn rain on Qipanling, he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation.

"How?" There was no danger all the way, and Bai Lin, who was in charge of this battle, saw that Jinghua was stagnant, and he did not have the slightest calmness before, so he immediately asked. Jinghua is from Chu, and he knows the Chu army best.

"Unharmed." Jing Hua smiled, but the smile was a bit far-fetched. "The subordinates are just worried that the Jing people are cheating."

"Fraud?" Bai Lin was wearing the armor of the Chu army and looked at the Qipanling in front of him from the Lu Li mirror. Qipanling is on the west bank of Baoshui, the most significant sign is that there is a boulder from the foot of the mountain, grows to the top of the mountain, the layers are ridged out, the shape is like a cockscomb, so here is also called Jitouguan. Before the Shimen tunnel at the foot of the mountain was not dug through, the valley needed to go straight up to Qipanling.

The ramp is already very dangerous, but the ramp is the most dangerous in this place. The Qinling Mountains are steep in vain here, and the rocks are also extremely steep, and they come out of the rock wall stubbornly, forcing the plank road like a cloud ladder to rise and fall, bypassing the horizontal stones. The mountain is coiled, the road is also coiled, and the highest place on the top of the mountain is the pass of the important place, where a huge Cheng military flag is floating. Bai Lin knew why Jinghua looked strange, such a steep pass would die here if he was not careful.

"A thousand men under your command go first." Bai Lin paused for a moment and said his arrangement. "After taking the pass, beat the drum quickly, and then you must take one step ahead of me to seize Baocheng. When I hear the sound of your drums, I will lead my army out of the valley, but if I don't hear it......"

There is no need to say the rest of the story. If the Chu army is caught off guard, it will naturally be the whole army to fight and capture Nanzheng; If the Chu army is prepared and fails to get out of the valley, the whole army can only burn the plank road and retreat to Yuanhu Mountain and go down the river. It is believed that the Chu army on the left bank of the water has been completely annihilated by Meng Tian at that time.

"Yui." Jing Hua bowed to Bai Lin. His role in this battle was to open the pass and let the Qin army out of the valley.

After Jing Hua saluted, he took his soldiers dressed in Chu armor and Chu clothes and carrying stretchers out of the valley road and walked straight to the foot of Qipanling Mountain. These people flashed, and a voice shouted from the stone wall out of nowhere: "Who is coming?" What's the order today? ”

"Cai Zhong, the commander of Xia Cai, I was ordered by the division to lead the army to escort the wounded to the south, I don't know what the order is today." Xia Cai is on the opposite bank of Yingdu, and the accents of the two cities are exactly the same.

I heard that it was Chu Yin, or maybe I heard that there was an injured pawn, and a person flashed on the cliff above Baoshui: "Can there be a rune seal?" ”

"Yes." Jing Hua took out a bronze talisman from his arms and held it high in the air.

Jing Hua held the talisman high and did not move, the other party looked at it with Lu Lijing for a while, and when he looked at Jing Hua, he saw his dark face, and asked, "Why black face?" ”

"I have killed people, so I have a bad face. Qing Shui stood in front of the Cai division in the first battle to wait for the sin, and beheaded the Qin people to become a famous soldier, so he is now the commander of the Cai division. Jinghua Chu clothes Chu armor, there is also a sword of honor hanging on his waist, when he speaks, he is confident, and proudly patted the sword on his waist, and learned the expression of the honor of the Chu army.

"Faux pas." Full of Chu Yin, and it was Master Cai's honorable man, the Chu pawn stationed at this pass not only let him go, but also knocked Jing Hua on his left chest and performed a new military salute. Jing Hua returned the salute, then put away the runes, and the soldiers behind him carried the wounded stretcher and began to go up the mountain along the plank road.

The valley road was narrow, and the answer between Chu Shu and Jing Hua reached Bai Lin's ears in the rear, and he couldn't help but hold his chest slightly. Fortunately, it is Jinghua, if you change someone, you may not be able to pretend to be a good person, so reasonable or even condescending to answer.

"When can I attack?" Bai Lin was secretly glad to be happy, but Huang Lang, the right colonel, was thinking about how many heads he could cut down in Baogu.

"Wait." Su Fu, who took over as Bai Lin's lieutenant, replied. Bai Lin's only request when he accepted the king's order was that the captain he had been in before should be the front army to attack here. He is familiar with this lieutenant, although the non-commissioned officers have changed some, the captains and the left and right colonels are all old men.

"How long do you need to wait......" When Huang Lang asked again, Bai Lin glared at him, and he immediately stopped talking.

There are only a few lieutenants and military academies that do not contain coins on their mouths, and all the soldiers have coins. After the sound of the yellow ridge was closed, only rain remained in the valley road. It seems that God does not want to see Qipanling being taken by the Qin army, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the rain gathers into strands, and the waterfall is like a waterfall and leaks down the cliff. A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, and just as Bai Lin was about to order the whole army to retreat, the drums suddenly sounded.

"Attack!" Seeing this, Bai Lin shouted, and the Qin pawn at the front immediately rushed out of the rock wall and ran on the slippery valley road.

The Chu pawns at the cliff didn't know what was happening on Qipanling, why they were suddenly beating the drums, but when they saw piles of soldiers suddenly appearing in the valley road, their hearts sank and they immediately understood what was going on, and they shouted: "Qin people! Qin people ......"

"Put!" In addition to the loud warnings, there were also sharp arrows, but for the Qin army surging out of the valley, these arrows seemed to be mud cows entering the sea, and they couldn't stop the torrent out of the valley at all.

"Shoot!" The Chu soldiers on the cliff shot arrows, and the Qin army set up several crossbows began to shoot at those archers. The iron bullet was far more powerful than the arrow, hitting the rock wall, and the splashed stone chips also made Chu Zu's face full of blood.

"Shoot!" The crossbow shot again, and the Chu army archers on the cliff became panicked, not caring that the cliff was several zhang away from the foot of the mountain, and these people jumped into the water from the cliff one by one, splashing one by one.

"Jing people are also afraid of death?!" Bai Lin, who saw this scene, was inevitably stunned.

"Jing people are also people." Seeing that Jinghua's adventure was successful, Xia Yang, who had lived in Yingdu for several years, breathed a sigh of relief.
