Chapter 45: Transfer, Crisis in the Snow

The three soldiers moved quickly in three directions, and soon the news was transmitted to the villages and the city of Toyoshu.

Without Li Yan's order, those soldiers who were stationed in the villages began to help transfer the name of the village.

During the war, the villagers could not stay outside the city under any circumstances, otherwise once the Turks could not conquer Fengzhou for a long time, then the villages would become the primary targets of the Turks' anger.

Li Yan had already arranged the transfer in advance, and even let the soldiers rehearse it in advance.

Therefore, the transfer speed of the villagers in each village is quite fast, and in just over ten minutes, each family packed their belongings and began to move.

The villagers of each village quickly gathered in the direction of Toyosu Castle along the path that had been cleared early.

At the same time, the Turks, who were already marching slowly, finally ran into trouble after entering the 100-mile range of Fengzhou.

One after another, the Turkic soldiers who were clearing the way in front of them were cut out by sharp objects hidden in the snow without paying attention, and some even stepped directly on nails and other objects with one foot, and the entire soles of their feet were penetrated.

"Chief, there's a lot of this in the snow."

A Turk with an ugly face came to the side of the Turk with a strange-looking object.

The item consists of four forks, which are made of woodwork, but each has a sharp iron nail head at the end.

If any of these Turks are from the afterlife, then they must know what it is, and this thing is a triangular nail tyret!

If this triangular nail appears on a normal day, it is insignificant, and such an obvious item can be picked up and thrown aside.

But now that the road is closed by heavy snow, the triangular nails are completely covered by snow, and even some of the triangular nails were thrown by Li Yan and Ge Dahai during their inspections.

In other words, the current situation is that there are a large number of sharp triangular nails in this white snow, some of which are on the ground, or even half buried in the soil, but some of which are suspended in the middle of the snow.

For the Turks, these triangular nails cannot be ruled out at all, they can only be broken through!

"Can you take the road that the Tang people have discharged?"

He asked after being silent for a while.

"These roads don't go straight to Toyosu, and the roads are too narrow, and it seems that there are more of these things around the road."

The Turks who had come to report had brought a nightmare piece of news to Chumukun Luolu.

Who knows how many of these things will be in this snow? As long as the person in front of him is clearing the snow and opening the road, he will basically lose his combat effectiveness if he is not careful, not to mention the kind of wound that appears when he steps on it is easy to rot and erode.

Just when Mu Kunluo was entangled, there seemed to be another problem at the front of the team.

"Oh, no!"

"Ah......h

Just two more Turks stepped on the nail in front and retreated to the rear, just replaced by a few people to replenish.

When the first few people walked on the "road" that had just been discharged, there was an instant problem with the ground under their feet.

Several people sank in an instant, falling into the pit, and at the bottom of the pit there were sharp long wooden strips, which directly penetrated several Turks who fell.

"Damn, it's a hunting pit!"

Chu Mu Kunluo's face was even more ugly, and the Fengzhou Army actually made arrangements in advance? Could it be that the Tang people had long expected heavy snow this winter, and then their Turks would come to attack the city?

Otherwise, this idle man has nothing to do to sprinkle nails on the ground, and digging hunting pits is a human thing?

Chu Mu Kunluo scolded the Fengzhou guard eight hundred times in his heart, and he has now entered a dilemma.

Their tribes had rushed to Toyosu from all directions, and now they could not communicate with each other at all.

In other words, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, Chu Mu Kunluo cannot choose to retreat, but can only brave the head through this dangerous snowland, and the speed must not be slow, otherwise he will miss the meeting time with other tribes.

"Let the warriors who stepped on the nails continue to clear the snow and clear the way! Don't die, don't retreat! The steppe wolf gods and tribes will remember their courage, and we must try to preserve the strength of our children. ”

Chu Mu Kunluo made a difficult decision, since there will be continuous wounded in front, so simply let the wounded go to the front to open the way!

Only in this way will they be able to preserve their maximum combat strength before they reach Toyoshu.

In this way, a cruel scene appeared at the front of the marching route of the Mukun tribe.

The leather armor on the three or four people who were at the forefront of the road was constantly cut by sharp triangular nails, and even pierced their skin directly.

What's even more terrifying is that on the way forward, they stepped on one triangular nail after another, and they didn't even pull it out, but insisted on obeying the orders of Chu Mu Kun Luolu, and took their own lives to open the way in front.

All the Turks looked at the bloody road under their feet and said nothing, and now they just wanted to hurry to the city of Fengzhou and break through the gate of Fengzhou as soon as possible.

At that time, they will inevitably give the Fengzhou guards to pieces!

However, will Li Yan give the Turks this chance?

Apparently not!

After receiving the news of the Turkic infestation, Li Yan had already begun to prepare.

According to Li Yan's estimates, it would take at least three days for the Turks to break through the snow, which was full of triangular nails and hunting pits.

There was plenty of time to prepare, and now he still had time to personally resettle the villagers who had been transferred to Toyosu City.

"Zhang Dazhu, you ......"

"Also, it is necessary to ensure that the wells in the city are not frozen......"

Li Yan personally arranged everything and waited for the Turks to arrive.

"Boss, I'm back."

Just when Li Yan had arranged it, Ge Dahai, who had gone to the second exploration, finally returned to Fengzhou.

"How's the probing? How many troops? ”

Li Yan went straight to the point and began to ask.

"Boss, you may have provoked the steppe people, more than a dozen Turkic people, there should be about 30,000 people in total, all of them are foot soldiers."

Ge Dahai smiled bitterly, he was frightened this time to investigate, there are more than ten routes in the entire north, and there are Turks everywhere, if it weren't for his pigs running fast, I'm afraid that he might not be able to bring the information back alive.

"More than 30,000 people?"

Before Li Yan could speak, Cheng Yanjin on the side blew up first.

After he learned the news of the Turkic infestation, he came to the city wall as soon as possible, and he was afraid that Li Yan would have problems in commanding so many people for the first time, and he would not be able to explain to Li Shimin at that time.

"It's not a big problem."

Compared with Cheng Yanjin's reaction, Li Yan was still very calm.

It's just 30,000 people, and they are fighting against such a bitter cold, and their combat effectiveness can be left with five achievements.

And this group of Turks was originally cavalry, but now the cavalry is out of horses, and the combat effectiveness has to be cut in half.

In other words, today's Toyosu only needs 9,000 men to defend the 30,000 cavalry who lost their horses and fought against the bitter cold, which does not seem to be very difficult.

"30,000 people, I'm afraid that's half of the strength of the entire Monan Turks......"

Cheng Yanjin hadn't muttered silently, his heart was full of worry.

According to past experience, this gap of more than three times the strength of the army, even if your own side holds the city, it is difficult to resist.
