Chapter 22: New Ways of Fighting

"It's not possible, but it will definitely not last until May next year, I estimate that there will be basically no food at the end of February, and even if the war horse is killed, it will be at most until the end of March." Zhang Zhongjian analyzed.

"Why are you looking at me again? I can't conjure food! Zou Yu said blankly.

"Ahem!" Zhang Zhongjian's old face turned red, and he felt ashamed that he always pinned his hopes on a sixteen-year-old boy.

"Why don't you find a way to grab one or two more while there is still not much snow?" Liu Jin suggested.

"This ghost weather, who can say clearly, maybe overnight, the snow will pile up and people will be high, and if one is not good, they will all freeze to death outside." Zhang Zhongjian shook his head and objected.

"Actually, it's not like there's no way to go out." Zou Yu thought for a while and said.

"Oh! How do you get out? Do you fly out? Zhang Zhongjian looked at him with suspicion. He really couldn't think of how to go out when the snow was waist-down.

"Let's talk about it after dinner, I'm going to ask someone to make something and prepare it." Zou Yu thought for a while and said.

He thought of skis, but with only a knife, he didn't know if the carpenter could make it, and he didn't know if the planks could support how far he could run, which required experimentation.

Zhang Zhongjian didn't ask when he saw this, Zou Yu went to find Uncle Wang after eating, and after listening to Zou Yu's request, Uncle Wang said calmly: "This is simple."

After saying that, he chose a piece of wood with a thin waist, took a captured scimitar, and split it with a swing, and then, like a cow, quickly cut out a two-ended plank, and then slowly cut it to make it smooth, and finally took out a few small holes and passed through two cowhides.

"Look, isn't it appropriate?" Uncle Wang confidently handed it to Zou Yu and said.

"This is your old craft." Zou Yu stretched out his thumb and praised.

"Hey, hey! The old man has no other skills, so he can get by with this craft. Uncle Wang smiled happily.

"Let's go, Uncle Wang, I'll show you my skills." Zou Yu said excitedly, roller skating has been skied, skiing has not been tried, just give it a try.

Came to the house, tied the skis to his feet, picked up two wooden guns, and pushed them on the ground, and the whole person just slid out, faster and faster, and more and more stable, and gradually found the feeling, Zou Yu began to pick some uneven places to rush.

"Wow!" With a strange scream, Zou Yu rose from a distance, leaped several feet, landed in the village, flicked his tail, and stopped.

Hearing the sound, many people had already come out to watch, most of them were young people in their twenties, of course, they were envious of Zou Yu's handsome movements, and they were about to look at the things under his feet.

"Good fellows! Is this what you call the way to get out? Zhang Zhongjian asked excitedly.

"Yes, but you have to wait for the snow to fall heavily before you can get around, and the brothers have to practice." Zou Yu explained.

"Okay, no problem, there's still time anyway." Zhang Zhongjian circled around Zou Yu twice, nodded with satisfaction, he could see that this thing under Zou Yu's feet was very simple to make, and it was completely capable of large-scale equipment.

So immediately gathered people, those who knew carpentry started to work again, and the snow combat was different, Zou Yu suggested making javelins, anyway, the most important thing now is wood. Javelins are simple to make, don't require much technical content, and most people can learn to make them.

In the process of skiing, the javelin is thrown, and the javelin is fast and fast with the impact of the advance, which is not only convenient but also more lethal than the arrow. Zhang Zhongjian agreed to this suggestion without hesitation.

At Zou Yu's suggestion, the village that was supposed to be Wodong became busy again, and many people could see people practicing skiing in the snow every day, I have to say that the warrior's physique is good, and the balance is also good.

After a few more days, there were already groups rushing down the hillside in search of the thrill of extreme speed. Speed is a man's passion, even if it is a blizzard can not stop the enthusiasm, in the wind and snow, from the hillside to the air, the feeling of flying, people are so fascinated, even if many people fall into the nose and face swollen, the next day still set off.

With continuous practice, the skiing technique has also improved, and the mountain can basically go all the way down from the top of the mountain, and in the process, the advantages of the javelin are also brought into full play.

After practicing for more than 10 days, Zhang Zhongjian began to take people out hunting and conduct live-fire training. Constantly find problems, improve them, load prey, materials, and wounded people with board carts, and also come up with a new method, two people can pull a big cart, run like a galloping horse in the snow, no effort at all, it can be said that it is very convenient, out of the start, you need someone to help push, there is no shortcoming.

As for the target, it has also been decided, that is, Buyeo City, two hundred miles away, not only because of hatred with Goguryeo, but also because Goguryeo has more materials, after all, they are an agricultural people, like iron tools, grain, how can they have more than the Yan people. As a Han people, even if they have abundant meat, they still think about rice noodles.

The most important thing is that there are not many people in Buyeo City, because of the last year's war, almost all the young and strong were transferred to the front line, although they won, Goguryeo can only be regarded as a miserable victory, after all, compared to the big countries in the Central Plains, their population is still not enough.

In order to prepare for the next attack of the Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo has never stopped pedicing city defenses, even in autumn and winter, because they know that if Yang Guang makes a comeback, he will definitely not fall for their repeated deception, and whether they can hold it, to be honest, the upper echelons of Goguryeo have no confidence.

In order to prevent snow blindness, Zou Yu made everyone cover their eyes with a layer of cloth, which can be seen through the line of sight as the cloth worn by ordinary people now.

In addition to guarding the house, 500 soldiers stepped on skis, pulled carts, and inserted a row of javelins on their backs, speeding on the snow, because they were all wearing sheepskin jackets, so they looked from a distance, and they could not find a group of people passing by in the snow.

The troops passed, and soon the snow melted, and there was no trace, and in one day and one night, the march of two hundred miles, arrived at the outside of Buyeo City, the Buyeo City covered in silver, like a dead city, without a little life, shivering in the cold wind, not a single guard on the head of the city could not see.

This is not to blame the guards, after all, no one would have thought that on such a snowy day, someone would come to attack the city, after all, in their minds, this kind of weather, going out will kill people, let alone traveling far away.
