PS: Genuine readers, please read it later, thank you.

Compared with the gentle southern slope, the northern slope is almost a cliff, and in some places it is even a 90-degree vertical cliff. To make matters worse, the entire cliff is covered with glaciers and snow, making it impossible to stop. If you are careful about the slippery road, you will fall directly to the bottom of the mountain, and when you look down from the top of the mountain, there will be a cloud of mist, and you will not be able to see the bottom at all.

Tens of thousands of troops gathered here, and if they couldn't pass quickly, they would have to be delayed on the top of the mountain again, and the biting cold made everyone shiver.

Liu Yin also climbed the pass, and when he saw the situation on the north slope, he couldn't help but frown.

Zhao Zhuo said: "Big brother, it seems that it is more difficult to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain." Ah Jian, how did you get down the mountain? Zhao Zhuo turned around and asked Ah Jiandao.

Ah Jian pointed to a mountain road on the left that looked quite steep and said, "When the small one goes down the mountain, he walks on the other side, slides down the protruding rock, about three or two miles, and the terrain is gentle." "At that time, when Ah Jian was exploring the way, the artist was bold and could find a way down the mountain among the icebergs and snowy mountains, but it was obviously impossible for the large army to act according to his method.

How did Deng Ai live in the Sky Ridge, wrapped in a felt blanket and rolled down, it can be regarded as Deng Ai's fate, not only did he not fall to death, but even the parts on his body were not missing. But Liu Yin didn't follow his example, rolling down from such a high cliff and wrapping a felt blanket? Even if it's wrapped in ten layers of sponge, it's not a big deal!

"Bring the rope!" Liu Yin commanded.

The rope is the most important equipment for this march, and Liu Yin chose the thickest and strongest hemp rope, which is prepared for mountaineering. The northern slope of Mt. Mengbi is so steep. It seems that the only way to go down the mountain is with the help of ropes.

Ah Jian naturally went down to explore the way. Tie the hemp rope around his waist, and seven or eight people on the mountain pulled him, and Ah Jian slid down the mountain step by step, while carving out steps on the steepest ice. Ah Jian descended about five or six hundred paces before he crossed the most dangerous section, and the road below was a little smoother.

Liu Yin ordered the big rope to be tied to the top of a boulder, and the Shu soldiers followed the rope one by one, and the fish went down. Thanks to the rope to grip on. There are also hand-carved steps at the steep foothills, so the descent is not too slow.

In addition to the steep section of the road at the top of the mountain, there are still two sections of the road on the mountainside that are also relatively steep.

After walking through these three extremely dangerous mountain roads, the rest of the road Shu soldiers can trot all the way. At the foot of Mengbi Mountain is a large area of primeval forest, dozens of feet high towering trees abound, the vanguard rushed to the edge of the forest, basically just past the time.

There is no camp to explore the way ahead. The troops in the back were much more relaxed, following the ropeway left behind by the Wudang battalion. The fish went down, and when it was dark, even the broken White Emperor camp had all crossed Mengbi Mountain.

Successively climbed over two big snow mountains, so that the morale of the Shu army of the Northern Expedition was high, it seems that the big snow mountain, which is known as a desperate situation, is nothing more than that, everyone's faces are filled with a smile of victory, as if Longxi County is already beckoning to them.

It was precisely because Liu Yin defied public opinion and bravely led them on this unprecedented road that they conquered the two snow-capped mountains at their feet.

"Big brother, why do you conclude that this snowy mountain is so good? It seems that this natural danger is nothing more than that! Hahaha! Zhang Le laughed heartily, and the generals also smiled.

Liu Yin didn't laugh, because he knew that it was still time to laugh, and only when he really crossed the five snowy mountains, crossed the meadow known as the Death Swamp, and arrived in Longxi County, could he be regarded as having the last laugh, and the arduous and long march was still to come. This trip starts from Hanjia, at least across the journey of 2,500 miles, in Liu Yin's plan, this journey also takes at least one and a half months to two months, after all, the snow mountains and grasslands are too difficult, the entire marching area is basically without any roads, and it takes two months to complete this road that cannot be called a road, which is also Liu Yin's most conservative estimate. Now it took about eight days to complete the crossing of the two snowy mountains, and the speed of the process was beyond Liu Yin's expectations. The next journey is more difficult, and it is really not time to relax.

Deng Ai was acting with the Chinese army, when he camped at the foot of Mengbi Mountain, Liu Yin went to visit him, after all, Deng Ai was already an old man over sixty years old, in the entire Northern Expeditionary Army, his age was the oldest, the mountains lacked oxygen, extremely cold, and the environment was harsh, which was a hundred times steeper than the Yinping trail that Deng Ai had walked at the beginning, Liu Yin didn't know if Deng Ai could still persist with Deng Ai's advanced age.

However, seeing Deng Ai's red face full of energy, Liu Yin was relieved, Deng Ai's perennial military career made Deng Ai's physique comparable to that of a thirty or forty-year-old man, and he did not show any fatigue because of climbing over two snow-capped mountains. Liu Yin had earlier instructed his subordinates to prepare the best robes for Deng Ai, and even the tent where Deng Ai lived was the best warm tent sewn from sheepskin.

"Marching on the Snow Ridge Ice Peak, I wonder if Mr. Ai's body can eat it?" Liu Yin asked with concern.

Deng Ai stroked his beard and smiled: "The lord doesn't need to worry, Ai has been handsome all his life, how can he be the kind of person who can't help but be weak." ”

Liu Yin also smiled: "That's good, Mr. still needs to take care, there is still a long way to go." After saying that, he turned around and retired.

Deng Ai looked at Liu Yin's back and sighed: "The stroke of genius is really a stroke of genius." ”

Deng Zhong said on the side: "My father has never served anyone in his life, why is he so convinced of General Liu?" ”

Deng Ai said solemnly: "I am proud of my father's life, and I really haven't admired anyone from the bottom of my heart, I was defeated at the hands of General Liu, I just thought it was just bad luck, and today I look at his actions, and I know that it is a real heroic strategy, detouring in the snow-capped mountains and swamps, this is the real big stroke, his courage, his courage, no one has been able to match it since ancient times." No one can predict the success or failure of the future, but with such a feat, it is enough to be famous for eternity. ”

"Father is willing to help him?"

Deng Ai nodded and said: "Yes, when I surrendered, I was just forced to surrender, and my body and heart did not surrender, so what I am doing today,.................. (To be continued.) )
