Chapter 285: Blizzard
"Elder Zhang, have you found anything?"
Situ Jingtian turned his head to look at Zhang Baicao, he knew Zhang Baicao's character, if it wasn't for some important discoveries, he would not have spoken out easily. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Haven't you noticed that the weather has been a bit unusual lately, and the sky is very overcast. I used to practice medicine on the North Side for a few years and experienced a blizzard.
It was the same at that time, for the first few days, the sky had been gloomy, and then a great snowstorm fell, and the storm was so great that people could not get out of the house at all. ”
"When the snow stopped, it dropped down, and a lot of people froze to death! I think the situation is very similar to that time, and it is better for us to hurry up and prepare the heating things, and then arrange for the sergeant to repair the house and prepare the things before the snowstorm comes. ”
Seeing that everyone turned their heads to look at him, Zhang Baicao couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly expressed his suspicions.
The coming of the snowstorm is a big event, and if you don't pay attention, many people will freeze to death. This will not be less than the number of people killed in the war, so Zhang Baicao is very anxious.
"What? Snowstorm! ”
Listening to Zhang Baicao's words, General Liu, Liu Chuyuan, and Mu Gang, who had lived on the border all year round, all changed their faces.
At least they have lived here for ten years, and it is not that they have not experienced a single blizzard, but the recent war has been tight, and their attention has been attracted by the war, but they have not paid attention to the recent abnormal weather.
And the blizzard doesn't happen every year, and it doesn't necessarily happen once every three or five years, so everyone didn't think that there would be a blizzard.
At this time, after being reminded by Zhang Baicao, General Liu, Liu Chuyuan and Mu Gang immediately agreed with Zhang Baicao's words after a careful recollection.
"Oh no, I was negligent, the weather is really abnormal, it's exactly the same as five years ago! No, I have to immediately arrange for the people to go out of the city to collect firewood and strengthen the houses, otherwise if we don't wait for the Yanhuo Kingdom to attack, this Blackwater City will also lose most of it. ”
With a cold sweat on his face, Mu Gang stood up abruptly and hurriedly ran out.
"General Liu, Qu Wei, you immediately send down, except for the necessary soldiers to defend the city and protect the people out of the city, the rest of the sergeants, all help collect firewood and repair houses, you must do this before the snowstorm comes."
Seeing that Mu Gang's figure had disappeared, Situ Jingtian did not call him, but said to Liu Chuyuan and Qu Wei.
"Yes, the subordinates/generals will arrange it immediately!"
Qu Wei and Liu Chuyuan stood up and took the order.
"Elder Zhang, how many medicinal materials are left of the medicinal materials that Rou'er prepared at the beginning, which can be enough to deal with the symptoms caused by the great cooling after the blizzard?"
Seeing Qu Wei and Liu Chuyuan go out to arrange things, Situ Jingtian thought for a while, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Baicao.
"There are still a lot of herbs left, although there are more herbs for treating trauma and stopping bleeding, but there are also some herbs for treating frostbite and wind, and if nothing else, it should be able to cope with it for a while.
As long as you can survive the period after the blizzard, and when the follow-up supplies are delivered, and the medicine and food can be replenished, there will be no problem. ”
After silently calculating the amount of medicinal materials in his heart, Zhang Baicao's heart was still relatively optimistic.
"That's good, I hope the blizzard will be two days late, giving us a little time to prepare. Oh, I almost forgot! Come! ”
Situ Jingtian patted his forehead lightly and shouted outside the house.
"Prince, what do you command?"
A sergeant immediately walked into the room and knelt down in front of Situ Sedum.
"Send my order to send someone to Hesse at once, and inform the defenders of the impending blizzard, so that they can prepare. There are enough supplies left by Muller in Hesse City, which is enough for their 20,000 people to consume, so that they must be prepared for a big cooling. ”
Commanding the sergeant, Situ Jingtian hurriedly said again.
"Elder Zhang, I have to trouble you to send two apprentices to bring some medicinal herbs over, in case a sergeant is sick, but there are not enough doctors and medicinal herbs."
"Yes, the old man will go and prepare."
After speaking, Zhang Baicao walked out with the sergeant.
For a while, there were only Situ Jingtian and General Liu left in the house.
"Hehe, don't be nervous, there are more than 100,000 people in this Blackwater City, plus 100,000 sergeants, so many people work together, can the speed of collecting wood and repairing houses be slow? Don't worry, I've experienced this blizzard twice, and while it's scary, let's just get ready. ”
Seeing that Situ Sedum was a little worried, General Liu laughed softly.
"This blizzard is coming, and it is not only us who will be affected, but also the people of the Yanhuo Country, and then it will depend on the preparation of the water, who can hold on longer."
"Yes, at this time, supplies are the key. I hope that the follow-up materials can be delivered on time, and there must be no mistakes in the materials. ”
Situ Jingtian nodded, agreeing with General Liu's words.
There is also Liu Suifeng in Anjing City supervising the grain and grass materials, besides, the Tianshui Emperor is also very concerned about this war, so they don't think there will be any problems with the materials.
Nearly 200,000 people have worked together, and the results are still very remarkable.
By noon of the next day, the timber prepared in Blackwater City was very sufficient, and all the houses had been repaired, and as for the houses that were too dilapidated, they were simply abandoned, and people tried to move into relatively sturdy houses.
In the past two days, Yan Yanyuan and the others in Black Rock City have not made any movement, and all the people of Yan Huo have shrunk into Black Rock City, and it seems that they have also discovered that a blizzard is coming.
After dinner and the sun began to set, the north wind suddenly began to blow, and it tended to get stronger and stronger.
The gates of Blackwater City had already been tightly closed, and then they were topped with boulders and logs to ensure that if the people of Yanhuo came to attack the city despite the storm, they would not be able to open the gate for a while.
As for the city walls, except for the four arrow towers, which were still watched, the rest of the people were all withdrawn. The tower has also been reinforced, leaving only two movable lookouts that have been converted from wooden planks, and the rest of the building is sealed with brick and stone, making it almost a sturdy house.
There are also a lot of firewood and quilts and cotton clothes prepared inside, and even a lot of emergency food is put in, that is, to prevent the wind and snow from being too big, the logistics personnel can not go out of the room, and can not send food to the arrow tower, the soldiers stationed there can cook and eat by themselves.
