Deng Ai set out with Dengying first. They walked on the Tangluo Road, which had to cross the entire Luogu before they could reach Hanzhong.

The Tangluo Road is easier to walk than the Ziwu Road. Of course, this advantage is only relatively speaking. Due to the majestic and steep Qinling Mountains, the roads from Guanzhong to Hanzhong are rugged and difficult to walk. Since ancient times, the difficulty of Shu Road is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky, which is not a casual talk. It is not easy to travel through Luogu.

However, compared with the long-term unpassable situation of Ziwu Road, Luogu is still better. At least there are caravans often traveling around, which means that Luogu's road conditions are relatively good.

According to normal circumstances, the first entry into the camp should be to arrive in Hanzhong earlier than the camp. After all, the plank roads in Ziwu Valley are damaged. The camp needs to repair the road while passing through, which will naturally delay more time.

The plank road on the Tangluo Road is basically intact, so there is no pressure to pass through the camp first.

Xiandengying was originally a unit dominated by chariots and was specially designed to restrain cavalry. However, this time when the Shu army attacked Shu, the Shu army did not have a set of cavalry, so these flat box trucks were useless. In addition, the Shu road was difficult to travel, so Xiandengying went to battle this time, leaving all the flat box trucks in Guanzhong, and Tiandengying traveled lightly.

Judging from various conditions, the first camp will definitely become the first Wei army to arrive in Hanzhong first. Deng Ai seems to believe this. He did not follow the Yueqi Camp with the strongest combat power, nor did he follow the trap camp of Ziwu Valley, but went with the first camp. Deng Ai seemed to want to arrive in Hanzhong as soon as possible.

But human calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. They have just walked halfway and have entered the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. However, a sudden mudslide blocked the road, making it difficult for the Wei army to move forward.

The climatic conditions in the Qinling Mountains are the most complex in the world. When the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains was still covered with ice and snow, the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains was filled with spring and scenery and everything was revived. The snow on the top of the Qinling Mountains melted and caused mountain torrents, and floods caused landslides and mudslides, destroying the roads that were not wide in the valley.

If you look back at this time, it will take more time. Deng Ai couldn't help but frown. This unexpected unexpected situation was obviously beyond his expectations. It seems that this man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation, and Deng Ai also makes mistakes.

Due to the isolation of the news, Deng Ai could not know the situation of the other two paths of Ziwu Valley and Xigu in time. Whether mudslides and landslides would also occur, it is hard to say.

However, this sudden situation could not destroy the fighting spirit of the Wei army. Deng Ai ordered the Wei army to carry out emergency repairs at all costs and strive to restore the passageway in the shortest time.

The biggest difficulty facing the Wei army now is not that there is insufficient manpower or that the landslide area is too large, but that the working surface is too narrow. First, we will join the battalion and the garrison troops and the troops directly under the Governor's Department, and the total number has reached more than 23,000. However, due to the steep and narrow terrain of the valley, no more than 1,000 troops can be invested in emergency repairs every day. In this way, most of the Wei army is in a hurry to do nothing, which also makes the emergency repairs slow and cannot be cleaned up for a long time.

The section of the landslide is not too long, only a few hundred feet away, but don't underestimate the hundreds of feet. The mud and stone it pours down is hundreds of thousands of square meters, completely destroying a mountain road that was originally on the edge of the cliff.

The Wei army's current task is to open a new mountain road on this landslide mountain. There is no machinery to use, and it is indeed very difficult to rely on manpower alone.

But at this time, the Wei army was not afraid or retreating, but carried forward the fearless fighting spirit and carried out emergency repairs every day and night.

Deng Ai divided tens of thousands of soldiers into twelve squads, one squad every hour to ensure that the emergency repair team had sufficient strength and spirit. At night, countless torches were lit in the entire valley, and the Wei soldiers were working hard, and the road to reopen was extending forward foot by foot.

In order to speed up the progress of the project, Deng Ai carefully observed the nearby terrain. He sent several agile soldiers to climb up the cliff dozens of feet high and hang several ropes from the cliff.

Then hundreds of Wei soldiers with good skills were arranged to climb the cliff along the ropes, go around the other side of the collapsed mountain, and use excavation methods to dig at both ends, which greatly accelerated the speed of the project.

The task that was originally planned to be completed in half a month was successfully completed in ten days. Deng Ai ordered the Wei army to advance at full speed and head towards Hanzhong.

Due to the accidental accident of mountain slip, the Wei army lost at least ten days. It is obvious that even if they speed up the trip at this time, they could not make up for the lost time.

In Deng Ai's original plan, the three troops and horses all went to Hanzhong, and the departure time was basically the same. Then the time to arrive in Hanzhong would not be too different, and at most it would be a three or two day gap. In this way, even if an army arrived in Hanzhong early, it would not be in danger.

But after the first camp was delayed in Luogu for ten days, the other troops would face the dangerous situation of going deep into the army alone after they arrived in Hanzhong in advance.

You should know that the entire Hanzhong, the Shu army's defensive forces reached 50,000, while the Wei army's single troops had no more than 20,000. This would undoubtedly lead to a situation where the enemy was large and we were small.

Therefore, Deng Ai was more worried about this situation. He could only hope that after the camp or Yueqi camp arrived in Hanzhong in advance, he could adopt a strategy of steady defense and not attack, relying on some dangerous terrain, and deal with the Shu army more often. As long as he persisted until he led his army to Hanzhong, he would have the opportunity to reverse his disadvantages.

After Deng Ai arrived in Hanzhong, he was surprised to find that the camp had taken Nanzheng and successfully annihilated more than 10,000 Shu troops from Nanzheng, and captured Yan Yu, the governor of Hanzhong of Shu Kingdom.

Nanzheng City was originally the target of attacking the camp first. After the camp entered Hanzhong from Ziwu Valley, the target they were responsible for attacking was Lecheng. Logically speaking, the Shu army had a clear advantage in military strength. If they worked together and concentrated their efforts to deal with the camp, the situation of the camp would become very difficult. Not to mention attacking Lecheng, even themselves would be difficult to protect themselves.

But Shizan fought very well and successfully ate Yan Yu's six thousand troops in Yelangyu, and then decisively advanced westward and took Nanzheng in one fell swoop. The result of this battle was really beautiful.
