For the Wei army, which is good at cavalry, it is obviously not their strong point to cross the mountains and mountains, starting from Xiling, Du Pre's army can run nearly 800 miles in five days, but after arriving in Nanxiang, to the mountain road of Suspension Bridge Ridge, but only thirty or forty miles, Du Pre has walked for almost half a day, and set off from Nanxiang at five watches in the morning, until it is getting late, only to look at the steep peaks of Suspension Bridge Ridge.

The road is too difficult to walk, rugged, winding, and narrow, and can only accommodate one person and one rider at most. To make matters worse, at this time, there was a light rain in the sky, although the rain was not heavy and did not have much impact on the march, but the slippery road increased the difficulty of the march, and the Wei soldiers were already complaining again and again.

Du Pre had already abandoned the car, walking at the forefront of the team like a fly, and Du Pre's body was weak, but the mental strength he showed at the moment was stronger than that of a warrior. Du pre-top the armor, because of the rain, this armor seemed to be heavier, he walked in a hurry, one foot mixed on a protruding stone, his body shook, almost fell.

Shao Yuan, the captain next to him, was quick and helped Du Pre, so Du Pre didn't fall. Shao Yuan said: "General, it will be late, and the road is dangerous and difficult, it is better to stop the troops here, and it is not too late to march again tomorrow." ”

Du pre-wiped a handful of rain or sweat, showed a resolute look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This is not far from Wuguan, Wuguan is dilapidated, the Shu army has just been stationed, even if it is repaired, it is impossible to repair it completely, take advantage of this good opportunity, our army will have the opportunity to take Wuguan in one go." Passed on our military order, we must rush to the front of Wuguan tonight and go down to the village, and there must be no mistake. ”

At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly came, grazing Du Yu's ear and flew over. The distance was so close, and it was only three or four inches away, and Du Yu was shocked into a cold sweat.

Du was extremely lucky to dodge the fatal arrow, but the personal soldier behind him was not so lucky, he was pierced by an arrow in the throat, and he fell to the ground before he could even scream.

"There's an enemy attack!" Shao Yuan shouted. An arrow step was in front of Du Yu's body, staring at the dense forest at the top of the slope ahead, and the cold arrow was shot from that direction.

The Wei army, which was tired from a long journey, seemed a little absent-minded when climbing the mountain, and the sudden situation at this moment suddenly made them raise their spirits, the Wei army was also extremely well-trained, and the most effective way to prevent the enemy's cold arrow sneak attack was to form a shield formation, and when Shao Yuan just shouted that there was an enemy attack, the shield soldiers immediately went up, and the shields were erected. Cover Du Pre to withdraw down the mountain.

In the dense forest on the top of the mountain, Xian Hong put away his bow stupidly, he led the army to ambush in the jungle on the top of the mountain, although the Wei army sent scouts, but the mountains are high and dense here, and a few scouts alone can't find anything abnormal.

Zhan Hong was very patient and lurked in the bushes, telling the Shu army not to act rashly, and sure enough, Zhan Hong soon found Du Yu in the front army. Although there was a large group of personal soldiers guarding and surrounding, Zhan Hong still recognized Du Yu at a glance. I couldn't help but secretly rejoice in my heart, and with a bow and arrows, I wanted to take Du Yu's life.

Maybe it's because the distance is too far, so that Zhan Hong, who has always been good at archery, also lost his head this time, maybe Du Pre should not be killed, and the arrow that Tie Hong is bound to get actually flew over Du Pre's ear. This made Yan Hong couldn't help but be annoyed. Seeing that the Wei army was already on guard, Zhan Hong had no choice but to give up sniping Du Yu again, and ordered the archers who were in ambush to fire together.

The arrows poured down like locusts, and although the Wei army was protected by shield soldiers, they were shot by the arrows. There are still not a few.

Du Pre Fang inadvertently dodged the fatal arrow, and he was indeed a little afraid in his heart, seeing the ambush of the Shu army in Drawbridge Ridge, Du Pre urgently ordered the Wei soldiers to retreat.

It seems that Du Pre wants to rush to Wuguan in front of the village tonight The plan has failed, the Shu army has a heavy army in the Suspension Bridge Ridge, and it is dangerous to rely on the mountain, and it is difficult to overcome it easily, not to mention that it will be late, Du Pre has to camp at the foot of the mountain, and wait until dawn to attack the mountain.

In the early morning of the next day, the generals of the Wei army came to the Chinese army tent and asked Du to fight together.

Du Yu was unhurried and unhurried: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this general has his own decision." ”

The generals couldn't help but wonder, Du Pre, who was urging the march yesterday, was leisurely after a day's work, isn't it just that some Shu army is blocking the road, but the Wei army has 50,000 horses, so do you still need to be afraid of him?

Of course, Du Yu was not afraid, but he knew that the terrain of Suspension Bridge Ridge was steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if the Wei army wanted to attack it, it would inevitably pay a great price.

So Du pre sent people to find the mountain people here, although the mountains are dangerous, but rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat water, Du pre believes that in the depths of this mountain, there must be mountain people to live.

Du Yu's guess was very correct, not long after the scouts went out, they found two woodcutters, who had been chopping wood in Wuguan Mountain for many years and knew the terrain here well.

The two woodcutters had never seen the world, and when they saw the strength and momentum of the Wei army, they couldn't help but tremble and sweat like rain.

Du Yu said with a smile: "The two fellows don't have to be afraid, we are the army of Great Wei, and now those thieves who rebel against Shu have captured Guanzhong, and this general is ordered by the imperial court to come to recover Guanzhong, and it is the duty of this general to save the people from fire and water." Now the reverse Shu occupies the suspension bridge ridge, in a hurry, our army can not pass, the two fellows have been in the Wuguan Mountains for a long time, they must know the terrain here, I don't know if there are other trails leading to Wuguan in addition to the right road? If he is willing to see it, the general will be grateful for it. ”

As soon as they heard that there was a reward, the two woodcutters immediately showed joy in their eyes, and immediately said: "General, the little one has been chopping firewood on Wuguan Mountain for a long time, and he knows that there is a small road behind the mountain of Suspension Bridge Ridge, which can lead directly to Wuguan. However, this road is extremely dangerous, full of thorns, and it is not easy to get through. ”

Du was overjoyed, and immediately ordered a plate of gold cakes to be brought and said to the two woodcutters, "If you are willing to lead the way for the army, this plate of gold will be given to you." ”

The two woodcutters had probably never seen so much gold in their lives, and their eyes suddenly straightened, and in the face of Zhong Hui's request, the two of them nodded busily in agreement.

Du Yu immediately ordered 3,000 elite soldiers selected from various battalions and handed them to Shao Yuan, and with the two woodcutters as guides, he secretly bypassed the Drawbridge Ridge and raided in the direction of Wuguan. (To be continued.) )
