Chapter 308
Chapter 308
At one moment, the mountain breeze in early spring was still very cold, and the moon was like a golden hook, leaning against the top of the mountain, not casting much light.
In a valley about ten miles away from Yinping City, five thousand soldiers and horses were neatly arranged there.
They had been training in this valley for five days, all with some skills for mountain marching and combat. And these five thousand soldiers were all carefully selected from the Flying Battalion.
This is the entrance to the Yin Ping Trail, and tonight, they will set out from here to complete a difficult task.
Every soldier's face was full of excitement and excitement, because they knew that this time, in addition to the commander Deng Ai, there was also the Han King Liu Qi.
The Han king Liu Jun, their lord, has long become a god of war in their hearts that never fails. If you follow the Lord to fight, you will definitely be able to make great achievements. Some soldiers had participated in the last battle of crossing the Flying Tiger Mountain and attacking Yuzhou, and everyone who went made great achievements. Money, goods, grain and other rewards made other soldiers very envious, and some centurions and thousand-year-olds were directly promoted to military commanders.
The wounded were treated, and those killed in the battle were given a lot of money and food at home, so they, including all the Han troops, were not afraid of death.
In addition to Deng Ai, Liu Jun specially ordered Wang Ping and Liao Hua. Historically, both of them were important generals in the late Shu Han period, Yizhou's forces were complicated, and after occupying Chengdu, there were many potential dangers, Liao Hua and Wang Ping were both wise and brave generals, and they did not have much reputation in the army now, and leaving the barracks would not attract Ma Chao's attention.
Liao Hua and Wang Ping, at this time, wearing armor, swords hanging from their waists, holding large knives, were extremely excited and full of fighting intent.
The Yinping trail war horses could not walk, and all the generals, including Liu Jun, did not ride horses.
Liao Hua and Wang Ping are both generals, and they can win the favor of the lord Liu Jun, and this time they are selected, how can they not be excited, not excited!
Li Yan and Fa Zheng led some generals to see them off.
"Lord, take care!" Although Fa Zheng did not approve of Liu Jun going personally, from the perspective of combat, if Liu Jun went, the winning rate would increase by one percent, because he obviously felt that the morale of both soldiers and generals had risen unprecedentedly. With this kind of morale, we will be invincible and invincible.
"The lord in the chaotic world should probably have this kind of courage to sacrifice others!" thought to himself.
"Square, filial piety, everything here will be handed over to you, the fighter plane is fleeting, you must be flexible, and at the same time, you must also pay attention to the fact that Ma Chao is by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, and he must not underestimate the enemy!" The
historical Ma Chao suddenly sent troops, caught Zhong Xiu by surprise, captured Tongguan, and later fought with Cao Cao. Cao Cao's fierce generals and advisers were like rain, but they were still beaten by Ma Chao and cut their robes and beards, and they were embarrassed. These are enough to prove that Ma Chao is a real handsome talent. It is a pity that in the previous history, Liu Bei did not dare to use it, so that Ma Chao did nothing in his life.
"Don't worry, we will deal with it carefully!" "
With these soldiers of my big man, this trip will definitely succeed!" Liu Jun looked at Liu Hu, Liao Hua, Wang Ping, Deng Ai and the others, feeling very satisfied, and then waved to Li Yan and the others, "All the soldiers, we will see you in Chengdu!" A
"Chengdu goodbye" was full of domineering and made everyone feel confident.
"See you in Chengdu!" said Li Yan, Fazheng, Zhang Xiu, and others in unison.
On night marches, torches are generally lit. Especially in this day and age, everyone's eyesight is not good. However, this place is not far from Ma Chao's camp, and if it is ignited, it will inevitably be discovered, so it can only go forward in the dark.
But these soldiers of the Flying Battalion have mastered many skills of marching, such as what color the deep pit is at night, what color the waterhole is, what color the cliff is, how to distinguish the direction, and so on.
The compass is made very simple, it is a small compass, which has long been invented by the Ministry of Engineering, and every centurion carries one, which guarantees not to get lost.
By daybreak, they had left the Yinping camp for about fifty miles.
Further on, the road will become very difficult, but it is deserted, and for them, they will not have to march at night.
Following the instructions on the map, first cross a steep rock wall.
Liu asked the soldiers to rest in the mountains for two hours, and then march after eating.
When the sun turned west, they came to the bottom of the cliff.
Although everyone was prepared, many people gasped when they saw the road.
This is not a road at all, it is clear that the medicine collector has carved some small pits in the stone wall, and then some people and animals may have walked through it and stepped on a road, or a trace.
"Shizai, the trees above are relatively strong, let the soldiers take out the hook lasso, every four or five feet, use the noose to cover the tree above, hang down the rope, let the soldiers climb the stone wall with one hand, grasp the rope with the other, and pass through this section of the cliff. For such a cliff, Liu Jun already had a way in his heart. For special forces, this is nothing at all.
"No!" Deng
Ai immediately gave the order, and Liu Hu, Liao Hua, and Wang Ping quickly commanded the soldiers who were well equipped to take the hook lasso, and every two steps, they used the flying tiger claw in front of the lasso to grab the tree above the cliff and let the rope hang down. The rest of the soldiers followed them, holding the stone wall with one hand and climbing the rope with the other, stepping on the foot socket and climbing up.
These soldiers are well trained, and with this rope, the speed of the march is not slow. When it was almost dark, all climbed the stone wall, and continued to have good soldiers who collected the rope.
Although none of the soldiers accidentally fell off the cliff, Liu found that many had injuries on their hands, or were worn by ropes or cut by stone walls. And when they climbed the rock wall, they were exhausted.
"Shizai, let the soldiers rest, and set off again tomorrow morning
!" "No!"
Liu
Jun did not plan to march urgently, this raid, as long as it was hidden. Anyway, Chengdu is empty, Liu Bei is still outside the city of Chencheng, before he returned to Hanzhong, Guan Yu did not dare to send troops to Jianning, otherwise those generals in Hanzhong would definitely block Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang from Hanzhong.
And without Liu Bei's support, Ma Chao would not act rashly.
After climbing this section of the cliff, the army entered the lush mountains.
At this time, there was basically no road ahead, and the army was moving forward through thorns.
There are many wild beasts and poisonous insects in the jungle, and there is also Zhangqi in the mountains. But these did not cause much difficulty for the Han army.
Liao Hua and Wang Ping found that the soldiers' previous five days of training in the valley were all targeted. There are many herbs in the mountains and forests, and if it is not training, how can they know it; which herbs are now detoxifying, which herbs are healing, which herbs are healing, which water can be drunk, which water is poisonous, and so on, they all know very well.
"Lord Gong is really a god and a man!" Liao Hua and Wang Ping once again threw themselves at Liu Jun's admiration.
