Chapter 985 Li Mu has a bold idea
Jiameng Pass.
Li Mu couldn't help frowning when he looked at the situation in front of him.
This Jiameng Pass is located in the middle of the Shu Road, blocking Li Mu's army like a barrier.
As long as the place is broken, there will be no obstacles for the Zhao army to enter Shu.
The Qin people obviously understood the importance of this pass very well, otherwise Wei Liao would not have led most of the Qin troops to garrison here.
Although the Qin State had conquered Shu for decades, the pass was not abandoned. Instead, it had been built several times, making it look particularly solid.
From the perspective of Li Mu, on the right side of this pass is Niutou Mountain, with many Qin army flags flying on the mountain. It is obvious that the Qin people also stationed there an army.
At the foot of Niutou Mountain, there is the Jialing River, which is endlessly surging. It and the Bailong River converge here. The two rivers and one mountain form a natural danger, which makes the Zhao army have no other choice except facing the narrow pass road and the tall pass wall.
Pang Nuan stood beside Li Mu and said with some concern: "Grandmaster, this pass is not that easy to conquer."
Li Mu nodded and said, "It's true."
Although Qin conquered Bashu, this does not mean that the land of Bashu has always been very obedient to Qin.
In fact, in these short decades, large-scale rebellions in Bashu occurred several times, and even affected the Qin State's external expansion for a time.
In order to quickly mobilize troops and resources between Guanzhong and Bashu, Qin State expanded the Taurus Road several times to make this road easier to pass.
It was precisely through the efforts of the Qin people that Li Mu's army was able to arrive at Jiameng Pass so smoothly.
But after arriving at Jiameng Pass, everything was different.
Obviously, the leaders of Qin were thinking about the possibility of losing to Guanzhong and retreating to Bashu, so for this possibility, they also made some preparations at Jiameng Pass.
The originally wide Shu Road shortened after crossing the Jialing River, as if the eight lanes instantly turned into two lanes.
As a result, if the Zhao army wanted to attack the wall, they had to first cross such an amazingly narrow but hundreds of steps long trail.
At the end of this trail is the tall pass wall of Jiameng Pass. The Qin army only needs to arrange strong bows and crossbows on the pass wall to make the Zhao army suffer heavy losses on this unblocked charge road.
This is not the end. You should know that in addition to Jiameng Pass on the front, Niutou Mountain on the right side of Jiameng Pass is also a big problem.
The Qin army flags and camps on Niutou Mountain were obviously not placed as decorations. Li Mu was completely convinced that once his troops attacked the front of Jiameng Pass, the Qin army on Niutou Mountain would definitely attack the Zhao army's key forces from the flanks.
Li Mu was silent for a moment and said, "It's indeed a bit difficult."
Pang Nuan couldn't help but glared, it was so difficult, okay, you, Li Mu, said it was just "Somewhat difficult?"
Li Mu smiled and said to Pang Nuan: "General Pang Nuan, if it were five years or even three years ago, breaking this pass would definitely cost our army a lot of casualties."
