On the Flying Fox Road, the autumn wind whistled through the narrow mountain road, making a whining sound.∈↗
The cliffs on both sides are high and steep, carved with knives and axes, making it difficult for humans and birds to cross.
The ape cries sadly, and the bird sings in the empty sky.
Laishui flows quietly beside it.
When people get here, they can only feel that even the sound of water flow will bring some gloomy air, which makes people shudder.
It's no wonder that Li Po is redundant. In romance novels, he likes to set up ambushes on both sides of the place, light fires, throw rocks and so on.
But in fact, once you enter Feihu Road, you will know that it is unlikely.
The mountains on both sides are vast and endless. If you want to climb the cliff, you have to make a big circle. Even if you go up, how much patience do you have to wait until the enemy rolls down first without throwing the stone?
Flying Fox Road is a natural interpretation and a narrow road in the mountains dug manually.
It's not very wide, nor can I say it's narrow. It can accommodate a large army without any problem. Even if more than a thousand people can walk on it, it's not very spacious either.
Feihu Road is not in disrepair, but it is full of weeds and has been lonely for a long time.
When various countries compete for supremacy, a few battles can occasionally be fought here.
But now, there has been no war for decades.
Mainly because the Sui Dynasty unified the world, Hebei and Jin were all Sui lands, and there was not much contact between Mayi Yanmen and other places in northern Hebei, so Feihu Road lost a lot of its significance.
The most important point is that the Turks will not attack Hebei through this.
Because Goguryeo occupied Liaodong and the Turkic tribes moved southward, it would take some courage to choose Feihukou, because the way back would be completely in the hands of others.
As for Goguryeo, it would take a lot of effort to go to Feihukou to attack Hebei, and they would not be able to get there at all. Since the war was fought during the reign of Emperor Wen, and suffered a disastrous defeat, Goguryeo was also frightened and never dared to do so again.
Peep south.
By the Daye period, with the continuous expansion of the Sui Dynasty's borders, Feihu Road was completely surrounded by the Sui counties and counties, and there was no longer any worry of being attacked by enemies.
There was no war and no roads. Even in the early years of the Great Cause, when the emperor liked to do various projects, he never thought of building the Flying Fox Road.
Of course, there are still many mottled traces of history left on the Flying Fox Road, but at this time, few people are willing to pursue the past and present, and it is not that leisurely and elegant.
After two days of walking, Li Po felt a little depressed.
For him, this place is synonymous with nervousness.
The road was not easy to walk. Nearly two thousand war horses, pulling, riding, and driving, stretched the team into noodles. There were also situations of one kind or another from time to time. Soon, the team became intermittent.
.
Now that he has joined the army, his tasks have become onerous. He has to run from the front of the team to the back of the team, and then from the back to the front.
It was a toss-up back and forth, Li Po felt, the distance was hundreds of miles, and he would have to walk hundreds of miles to get here.
Not to mention that everyone else was watching the excitement. At the end of the day, the brigade marshals were all sweating profusely and looked quite haggard. It was obvious that they were not tired, but upset.
Even the pretty boy couldn't follow Li Bi. Finally, the three of them discussed it.
The young boy led the way and opened the way. Li Bi stayed in the middle of the team and was in charge of the war horses. Li Po was in the rear and was in charge of the pack horses.
The team moved on the mountain road for four days and finally arrived at the most dangerous part of Feihu Road.
Black Rock Ridge, where the three mountains meet, was later called the Shili Batu Caves.
There is no need to say more about the word "hole". The road must be very narrow. The wide place is ten or twenty paces, and the narrow place can only allow one person and one horse to pass through.
This is the narrowest and most dangerous part of the Flying Fox Road, and this is also the famous Flying Fox Pass. After here, you will reach the Hebei Plain. To the north, you will soon be able to see the vast grassland.
However, both grasslands and plains are now under the rule of the Sui Dynasty.
The guide came here and suggested that we repair for a day and then go through the Black Rock Ridge in one go.
Everyone followed the good example and set up camp on the mountain road, resting noisily for a day.
Early that morning, after breakfast, the team slowly entered the narrow mountain road and continued moving forward amid the continuous shouting.
This time, the queue was longer.
It was almost until the sun was shining that Li Po led the team behind him into the narrow passage.
However, after walking for a while, the team stopped unexpectedly.
Li Po had no choice but to wait patiently.
However, Li Bi's guards squeezed back panting and told Li Po that someone was blocking the way ahead...
Li Po was a little surprised, really surprised, and asked casually, wasn't it said that Black Rock had defenders?
Heishiyu was built in the Han Dynasty. When we arrived in the Sui Dynasty, although there was no fighting, according to the guide, there were Sui soldiers guarding it, but needless to say, the situation was definitely not good.
This is the same village as the village where Li Po stayed, almost in ruins.
All Li Po could think of was that the Sui army here was too poor to take the blame, so they took advantage of the situation and robbed the passing troops in order to survive.
But they were immediately told that those were not Sui soldiers, but a group of Taihang bandits.
Li Po scratched his head. Taihang has had ruthless bandits since ancient times. It goes without saying. But in today's time, if he dares to occupy a key pass on the Feihu Road and block the Sui army heading to Hebei, this mountain bandit must be too courageous.
?
Thinking of this, my heart moved.
He waved and said, "I understand" and sent the person away.
Turning around, he called Li Wu and ordered: "Take a few people and go to the back to have a look. Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up. If there is any accident, come and report it as soon as possible."
Li Pozao became upset. In such a broken place, if there is a blockage at both ends, it means that rats have entered the bellows. What's the point?
In fact, Li Po's keen military acumen did save the lives of more than a thousand people.
Before Li Wu could send back the message, Li Po immediately ordered his sergeants, "Turn around, dismount, and leave the pack horses alone. Get out, get out."
Before they even reached the entrance of the narrow passage, the shouts of killing could already be heard faintly.
Li Po gritted his teeth, and sure enough something had happened.
At this time, there was no need to think too much. With a bang, he pulled out his sword and started running. As he ran, he roared and ordered, "Follow me, everyone, follow me."
At this time, there was no need for him to shout anything. The mighty Sui army had always had the tradition of not asking how many enemies there were, but only where they were.
Hearing the cry of killing, the sound of a long sword being unsheathed immediately became loud.
But there is no need to mention the organizational structure. The most basic Sui army combat units are almost guaranteed, but other things such as formations, distances, etc. cannot be controlled.
In a sudden encounter with the enemy, Li Po's Sui soldiers showed their strengths, but also exposed many of their shortcomings as new recruits.
