November 9th.

There has only been one snow so far this year, and the weather is slowly declining in the areas of Yanshan and Shanhai counties.

Originally, it was close to zero, and this time it was slowly falling towards sub-zero.

The coldest time here is much colder than that in Heishui County, and the number of people who freeze to death every winter will continue to increase over time.

The current daytime temperature is around 2 degrees, and at night it is bad weather at minus 20 degrees.

For most of the recruits who only wore a thin autumn coat and a large soldier's coat, it was simply walking in a sea of swords and fire.

Their faces and toes tingled as if they had been torn by knives.

Once someone freezes to death, his clothes are quickly stripped off by his companions, and his body is abandoned in the wilderness to become a meal for birds and beasts.

The nearby trees have long been cut down by Wang Lanling to make paper, the whole mountain is bare, the road is also potholes, and there are no trees and vegetation in sight.

Huang Tongda eats good wine and meat every day, and there are quilts and sleeping bags in the car.

But even so, Huang Tongda felt that he had suffered a lot.

I didn't have a good rest on the way, and the car broke down halfway, and now the cavalry is pulling the horse in front, and the foot soldiers are pushing hard.

Although he also thought about riding a horse, Huang Tongda gave up this stupid idea after being blown by the biting cold wind for five minutes.

It wasn't a human life!

"Wang Lanling is worthy of being a mud leg in Shanzhou, it's only November, that kid went out and ran so many places in January, why didn't he freeze to death?"

Hard-working is not a good quality, at least Huang Tongda, these aristocratic officers, have always been proud of their inability to endure hardship.

These people are born to be blessed people.

Huang Mingping, a staff member next to him, is not so optimistic, he is a student of officials in Muzhou, although he is learning some government affairs, but even if he does not know the art of war, he can see the current situation.

More than a dozen people died every day on their side, and more than 200 people were lost in the past few days, and many more began to flee while they were sleeping.

The patrol team that was supposed to be in charge of military discipline was all cronies and belonged to their own people, so they hid in their coats and shivered when it was cold, and they had no intention of going out to patrol at minus a few degrees Celsius.

This time, more than 10,000 people were completely misguided!

Everyone thought that Wang Lanling could march in the ice and snow, so they thought they could too, but now they are all frozen stupid!

Their preparation is not adequate at all!

The environment over there in Muzhou Mansion is too good, and there is not much cold air left after being blocked by a few mountains, plus it is a place where rivers converge, and the altitude is relatively low? So the temperature has been okay all the time.

Where is the highest eighteen degrees at this time? Minimum 10 degrees.

It is precisely because of this general perception that the people of Muzhou do not feel how cold Shanhai County, which also belongs to Muzhou.

It's not just people who run away or freeze to death, most people have problems on their hands and faces? Plus these days eating dehydrated vegetables and sweet potato chips? There were big problems with the mood and fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Huang Mingping could only look forward to Wang Lanling's side after seeing their army? was able to mess up for a while on his own and break himself.

Otherwise, once the fight starts? Huang Mingping felt that more than 10,000 people here might not be enough to see.

"Report!"

A herald rode by.

Huang Mingping quickly got out of the car to check on the situation.

Soon the herald dismounted and said, "Strategist! When I went back to urge the logistics side to prepare cotton clothes and charcoal, I met reinforcements from Jinshan County, and the 50,000 troops of Jinshan County arrived later? Young Jiang Wang Ye personally led the troops! ”

Huang Mingping is overjoyed!

The herald continued: "The logistics side said that there are no 10,000 pieces of cotton clothes, let us go down Shanhai County, there are a lot of cotton clothes in Shanhai County that can be used!" ”

There must be 10,000 pieces of cotton clothes in Muzhou Mansion, but the cotton clothes here are mainly purchased from Wang Lanling......

Because the things on Wang Lanling's side are cheap and easy to use, many quartermasters are middlemen.

Even some workshops that originally produced cotton clothes bought things from Wang Lanling's side to sell at this time.

Although not all merchants are like this, Wang Lanling has indeed occupied a large part of the market in Muzhou Mansion? At present, if you want to raise so many cotton clothes, you will definitely not be able to go around here.

Because the price of cotton cloth has fallen? There are also many fewer people growing cotton in the Muzhou capital than in previous years.

Does Wang Lanling have his own cotton production base? So those cotton fields that are affected by the cloth market? Just because it doesn't make money? It is used by many people to grow tobacco and other valuable crops.

The entire cloth market has been collapsed by Wang Lanling, except for the self-sufficient small peasant economic circle, the markets in other big cities have been controlled by Wang Lanling.

However, Huang Mingping does not understand economics and does not know the problems involved.

Wang Lanling didn't use the art of war in some book? It is the capital system that is hundreds of years ahead of the world to fight!

At this time, Huang Mingping didn't realize the silk threads that were holding back their heads, because of the 50,000 troops in Jinshan County, he could finally not worry about some things at this time.

When Huang Tongda knew the good news, he quickly said: "Hurry forward, there is still half a day's journey, let our cavalry go first, be sure to take the first step to capture Wang Lanling alive!" ”

Huang Mingping said cautiously: "Is this move too risky? It's better to wait for the reinforcements from the rear to come, and when the time comes, the army will press the border, and discipline Wang Lanling to surrender without a fight! ”

Huang Tongda said directly: "Let the cavalry go first, even if it can't be defeated, it will be a credit, and then it will be with the people behind you, how can you know if you don't fight?" ”

"There are so many of us, if we don't do something, we just wait for the people behind us to come, what is the matter at that time?"

Huang Tongda didn't have to take risks, he just sat in the car and waited for news.

Since it's a risk-free thing, why not try it?

In case his subordinates arrest Wang Lanling, or break through Shanhai County first, won't he, the general of the unified army, step on Wang Lanling's name and become famous?

When Huang Mingping heard this, he felt that what he said was very good, so he didn't continue to persuade him.

Soon Huang Tongda let his cronies take the lead with 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry, while he himself continued to rely on war horses and manpower-propelled cars, slowly advancing.

On the other side, the team led by Tian Buxing had already disposed of the spies who came to investigate.

Because of his age, Tian Buxing is currently only a squad leader, leading a group of cavalry scouts who are responsible for reconnaissance and delivering news.

Tian Buwei had already seen the large-scale movement of the enemy army through the telescope, and quickly put away the telescope and went down the mountain.

"Ignition! Quickly notify those behind you to get ready for battle! ”
