Chapter 986 Shu Road Difficulty
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The continuous explosions sounded in Jiameng Pass with smoke, and the entire earth began to vibrate.
Wei Liao looked at everything in front of him with a very ugly expression.
The tall walls were trembling in the roar, and countless sand, stones and dust fell in front of Wei Liao, making Wei Liao feel an illusion of earthquake.
"General, this place is dangerous and you can't stay for a long time!" Wei Liao's personal guard captain shouted loudly to Wei Liao, and then he pulled him away from Jiameng Pass.
There is a road behind Jiameng Pass that leads directly to Niutou Mountain, so after a moment, Wei Liao stood on the hillside of Niutou Mountain.
From this perspective, the entire Jiameng Pass was filled with smoke and dust, and the screams of the Qin soldiers could be heard from time to time in the explosions soaring into the sky.
Wei Liao's heart was cut like a knife, and he couldn't help but punch a tree next to him: "Sky Thunder, this damn Shining Thunder!"
Wei Liao actually thought of countermeasures in advance for things like the Sky Thunder, but the problem is that after thinking about it, he found that he really didn't have any good solutions.
"Unless a team of elite soldiers are sent to kill Zhao's army and destroy Zhao's catapult!" Wei Liao's eyes flashed,
As long as the catapult is destroyed, the Zhao army must return to the normal attack form and must use human lives to fill out a road leading to the pass.
Wei Liao thought for a while and decided to take a gamble.
So soon, a 500 elite force mixed with twenty Qin Ruishi began to quietly go down the mountain and launch an attack on the Zhao army's catapult position in front of the pass.
The efforts of the Qin army craftsmen were not completely in vain. Some of these Qin Ruishi carried Qin versions of gunpowder. As long as they could get close and detonate, it would be more than enough to collapse a catapult.
However, the facts proved that Wei Liao was thinking too much.
Just as Wei Liao's assault team appeared, the Zhao army ambush, ten times more than them, also appeared.
A very fierce battle followed.
Wei Liao bit his lip tightly and put in great willpower to prevent himself from giving orders to continue sending troops down the mountain to rescue.
After all, Wei Liao knew very well that since the Zhao army was ready, sending more troops was actually just to continue to die.
"Very good." Wei Liao made up his mind with gritted teeth: "Since that's the case, then I have to see if the Zhao army's thunder can be so effective, even my Jiameng Pass can be broken through!"
...
The war in Jiameng Pass on Taurus Road is fierce, while everything is still calm on the other side of Yonegar Road.
Yoshicang Mountain is also known as Daba Mountain and Xiaoba Mountain. The road is also known as Daba Road and the name of Xiaoba Road. However, generally speaking, people here prefer to call this road Mishicang Road.
"Reading History and Fangyu Ji Ji" records: "From the south of Nanzheng, we go through the mountain to Bazhou, Baoning Prefecture, Sichuan, and is the Micang Road."
"Taiping Guangji" quotes "Yutang Gossip": "There is a Dazhu Road south of Xingyuan, which leads to Bazhou. The road is deep and steep rocks, and you can touch the stones. After three days, you can reach the top of the mountain. When you walk by, you can tie your vines to your waist and sleep on the tree. Otherwise, you will fall into a deep stream, as if you sink into a yellow spring. The top of the top is called lonely clouds and two horns. The proverb says: lonely clouds, two horns, go to the sky and hold it."
It is also recorded: "The Qin people take merchants as their business... They are called Dabu Road and Xiaoba Road. The dangerous peaks and steep valleys, the apes and birds walk on the road, sleeping in the wild, and stopping the smoke of people. The birds of prey are flocking, eating and traveling. They climb the thin paths and chase them by the tigers. Then they slept on the left side of the road. The tiger suddenly left with his words from the crowd."
For a team of 5,000 people, there is nothing to be afraid of like a tiger, but the steepness of the Yonekura Road still caused Zhao Kuo, who had just experienced Ziwu Road, to suffer a lot.
As the saying goes, "The road to Shu is difficult, but it is harder than climbing to the blue sky." In the hot summer season, walking forward in the narrow mountain path under the peeping of countless poisonous insects and beasts is definitely not a pleasant experience.
In the past few days, Zhao Kuo's subordinates have fallen into the cliff and died of death, some have been bitten by poisonous snakes and venomous insects, and some have died of vomiting, diarrhea and exhaustion due to the unaccommodation of the climate... There are various ways to die.
A shocking fact is that Zhao Kuo has lost more than 500 people these days, which was completely unexpected by Zhao Kuo.
Today's Zhao Kuo is no different from the past. He lowered his head and walked through the steep mountain path.
Suddenly, a slight sound came from Zhao Kuo's head. Zhao Kuo raised his head suddenly in his heart, but he happened to find a poisonous snake with its teeth spread out and pounced down from the branch above Zhao Kuo's head like lightning.
Zhao Kuo did not dodge or avoid, stretched out his right hand and accurately grabbed the snake's seven inches, 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 at the Guanzhong guide behind him fiercely.
The murderous aura in his eyes is not a lie.
The guide's body shuddered and hurriedly smiled: "General, let's be patient for a while, and at most, he will be able to walk out in a few more hours."
"A few hours!" Zhao Kuo repeated it with great dissatisfaction, and then said fiercely: "You said this to me this morning. It's already noon now! If I can't see the end of this path before dusk, hum..."
"Swoosh!" At this moment, a rapid sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.
Zhao Kuo almost thought without thinking, and instantly jumped into the bushes beside him.
A scream sounded, and the guide standing behind Zhao Kuo was caught in an arrow in his chest. He walked a few steps towards the side as if drunk, and then fell backwards into the bottomless mountain stream.
Zhao Kuo was scared and immediately shouted: "There is an enemy!"
In fact, there was no need for Zhao Kuo to shout. Several Zhao army scouts walking in front of Zhao Kuo were already waving their swords and rushing into the dense forest beside them.
After a short and fierce battle, several Qin army scouts' bodies were placed in front of Zhao Kuo, and there was also a Qin army captive who was tied up.
Zhao Kuo looked at the Qin army prisoner in front of him, and an extremely dangerous light flashed in his eyes. He pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist and squatted down with a smile.
A moment later, Zhao Kuo wiped the blood from the dagger blade on the body of the Qin army captive in front of him as if nothing had happened, smashed his mouth, and then showed a rather eager smile.
"Li Bing? 20,000 Qin troops? It's interesting... Two or three sons, I have a lot of military achievements in front of me, so I will go with me and take them together!"
