Chapter 336 Everything is under control
(As expected, it was not good. Which book friend said that I could write on my stomach. I lay on my stomach and wrote for half an hour. I almost climbed off the sofa and froze. It took me half an hour to recover! I want to send you another chapter! How can this happen!)
There was a loud roar like thunder above my head. Everyone looked up, scared out of their wits. On the top of the mountain on both sides, countless boulders were tumbling down, faster and faster. Being bumped by slopes and bumps, they flew up high, and when they fell again, But it broke into more small stones and smashed towards the people below.
The team of long snakes instantly broke into countless small groups, each running away. While avoiding the flying rocks, small teams separated from the large group of people, quickly Rushing towards the mountain tops on both sides with great speed.
I have to say that this is a very elite and experienced force.
In the case of a sudden attack, they still remembered to separate their forces to attack the tops of the mountains on both sides.
If there is a large group of enemies on the mountain, their attack will prevent the enemy from being able to attack the large group of people below, thereby minimizing losses.
A colorful pheasant stood on the top of the mountain and stared blankly at the first expert to arrive.
Then it clucked, flapped its wings, and jumped. The ground fled.
The officers and soldiers who rushed up only saw some nets made of mountain vines.
Obviously, these nets were originally filled with stones. When they arrived, someone cut off the vine nets with a knife and let the stones down.
The people who set up the mechanism are all masters in this way. The mechanism is set up very cleverly. A few people can complete an attack on the army and then escape.
Looking at the vast mountains, the officers and soldiers were at their wits' end.
Going down to the top of the mountain, everyone was stunned again when faced with the mountains of stones in front of them.
The way forward is actually blocked.
"Your Majesty, it will take at least two or three days to clean these stones!" An officer reported to Li Huimin, who was full of anger: "This place is the narrowest point, and there are enough stones rushing down, and then the rolling of the huge stones will The landslide that caused the earth and rocks, my subordinates checked, it should not be a normal landslide, but the enemy digging at some key points. If there is no huge external impact, there will be no problem with these earth and rocks, but once they encounter the just Such a strong impact will cause a large area of damage, thus blocking this road!"
"If we take a detour, what other way is there?"
"Go back? After walking for half a day, we turned west at Jigong Ridge and then headed to Xianrendu via Tianeling. This road is two days behind our schedule!" The officer was obviously very familiar with the roads here and looked at Li Huimin. road.
“Change the route and take Swan Ridge!” Li Huimin ordered.
If you can fight for a day, it is a day.
The team moved forward again, but first it turned backwards.
Everyone was busy on their way, an ominous omen swirling in everyone's mind.
Obviously, their opponents knew that they were going back to the division and knew that they were going to take this road, so they began to set up these traps here many days in advance.
Perhaps, when their army just passed here and headed towards Jianmen Pass, their opponents had already started working behind them.
When their army marched forward, they carefully searched the mountains and found no signs of enemies or anything wrong.
At that time, a huge conspiracy against Shuzhong had already begun.
It’s just that they were not ignorant at that time.
Several officers looked at Li Huimin in front of the team, their eyes full of worry.
Can the enemy set up such a mechanism here, but there is no such mechanism in Swan Ridge? Isn’t there one in Xianrendu?
Of course.
The outpost of the army stood on the high ground on horseback, looking at the raging fire and the thick smoke rising into the sky at Xianrendu, with a look of fear on their faces.
They hurriedly and slowly arrived at Xianrendu a day late, but the place had turned into a sea of fire.
A small army stationed here to guard the ferry has all turned into corpses, and the bridge for the army to pass is falling into the water piece by piece amid the raging fire! Dozens of boats docked at the ferry also groaned amid the fire.
Xianrendu has been destroyed.
It is no longer possible for the army to return to Chengdu through here, and the detour will not only take a day or two, but will take at least five days.
Li Huimin's face was ashen.
The enemy's tactics could not be clearer.
That is to do everything possible to cause them trouble on their way forward so that they cannot rush back to Chengdu as early as possible to support them.
Knowing the opponent's strategy, but for Li Huimin and others, there is no strategy to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, I know a small road that only takes two days, but that road is too difficult!" An officer mustered up the courage and walked up to Li Huimin.
"Which way?"
"Take Yingzui Rock!" The officer half-knelt on the ground and drew a simple picture on the ground with his scabbard. "There is a channel naturally washed out by mountain torrents below Yingzui Rock. When there is no rain, the water is very small, so it can be used as a road."
"Lead the way!" Li Huimin did not hesitate at all. No matter how difficult the road is, is it difficult to walk on Motianling Mountain? What the enemy can do, we can certainly do.
Moreover, he really can't afford to delay now.
When leading these nearly ten thousand people to leave the brigade, each person only brought ten days of food. If this delay continues day by day, once the food is exhausted, will the army go out to fight hungry?
If I save a little on eating now, I can still survive. More importantly, the Eagle Mouth Rock is obviously not the real road. The enemy should never have guessed that he would go here. Maybe the enemy has prepared something unexpected on the road he is supposed to take. The trap is waiting for you.
Going here will definitely surprise the enemy.
One day later, they arrived at Eagle Mouth Rock and saw the flood channel in the officer's mouth.
It is very spacious. Except for a lot of smooth stones polished by water flow, it is not much worse than a real road.
Li Huimin embarked on this path without hesitation.
When the army camped in the evening, Li Huimin breathed a sigh of relief. Tomorrow, it would take up to half a day before he could walk out of this mountainous area and set foot on the thoroughfare.
My subordinates sent me a deliciously roasted pheasant. There were not many other things in the mountains, but wild animals were available. However, the army was crossing the border, and the smarter ones had long since fled. The army also has military rules, so soldiers will naturally not be allowed to hunt just for food.
Of course, this is for ordinary officers and soldiers.
People like him are naturally not included in this list.
The guards can find delicious food for him in various names.
Eating the fragrant roast chicken, drinking the soju soaked in mountain spring water, and then having a good sleep to replenish your energy, you will have to fight with the enemy next.
Such petty quarrels will delay one's own journey, but they cannot stop it. Some conspiracies and tricks cannot change anything.
Can you capture Chengdu Fucheng after delaying yourself for two or three days?
That would be an underestimation of their own business in Shuzhong over the years.
Li Huimin was awakened from his deep sleep by a strange sound. As a martial arts master, his perception was naturally much sharper than that of ordinary people. When he stepped out of the tent, he saw that many of his subordinates had been awakened.
The sound of strange noises became clearer.
An officer suddenly lay down on the ground, listened for a moment, suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly: "Flash flood, water is coming, water is coming, everyone run away!"
Because both sides Because of the steepness of the mountain, everyone camped directly at the bottom of the ditch to find a place. Except for Li Huimin, who also had a small tent, the rest were officers, who were also lying on the ground. They were the ones who were slightly better than ordinary soldiers. There was also a blanket under the cushion. At this moment, the people nearby were awakened by the officer's roar.
And the strange noise became more and more obvious.
Everyone heard the sound of water rushing.
"Go both ways, go both ways!" the officers roared, and the campsite that stretched for several miles suddenly became chaotic.
The flash flood mixed with countless dead trees, leaves and even brought many stones with it.
It hasn’t rained for a long time. Such heavy water is certainly not a natural formation.
Someone first stored water upstream and then released the flood at this time.
Every move he makes is indeed planned by the other party.
Standing on a high place, looking at the flood rushing past the bottom of the ditch, and watching countless soldiers being swept away by the sudden flood, Li Huimin gritted his teeth.
When it was getting dark, the team finally regrouped.
The flood has passed, and the flood ditch has returned to what it was like yesterday.
But the army is no longer the army of yesterday.
There was a flood and thousands of people were missing.
What is more serious than the shortage of people is the logistics supplies.
In the panic last night, everyone was just running away, but they forgot to take these things with them. By the time he reacted, the rain and wind had already blown away.
Everyone is dejected. No matter where they go, they can't seem to get rid of the other party's scheme.
The officer who suggested taking this route yesterday has been confirmed not to be an enemy spy, because just last night, when the water had just washed down, the officer committed suicide in front of Li Huimin to apologize. .
If he was a spy of the enemy, he had plenty of time and opportunity to escape last night.
But this result shocked everyone even more.
The feeling of having everything you own and being plotted by your opponent is really not good.
“Gather up the army and set off!” Li Huimin said one word after another: “Everything the enemy has done is just scratching the surface and cannot shake our strength. On the contrary, it only shows their fear of us. Set off. Set off, return to Chengdu, find the enemy, and kill them all!”
Another two days passed. When the army finally walked out of the mountains, they were greeted by thousands of soldiers who had been waiting for a long time! The main force of the three thousand inspection brigade led by Li Dachui himself.
