The next day, all battalions of the new attached army were generally singing all kinds of rumors, not only the gods helped Baili Yan defeat the enemy, but also the gods of war of Baili Yan descended to earth, and all kinds of superstitious legends sprung up overnight.

Bai He stayed up all night to collect weapons and horses, counting the seizures, Fang Liang came to the back camp seriously, seeing Bai He's happy face, Fang Liang approached:

"Yo, Brother Baihe didn't sleep all night?"

"Hey, where is the kung fu eye closure, you see, it's all seized last night." Bai pointed to the weapon on the ground, a look of accomplishment.

Fang Liang continued:

"It's all good iron, much better than the weapons of the auxiliaries."

"Yes, it's a pity that a lot of armor is frozen and hard and can't be removed. Eh, by the way, you don't stay in the front camp so early, what are you doing in the back camp? ”

"Oh, do you know how the river cracked yesterday, you know?"

"I don't know about this, but it must be the general's strategy."

"Now there are rumors in the camp that the gods have descended to earth, do you say that the general is really a god?"

While the two were talking, Bai Liyan had a calm face and quietly came behind the two:

"Ahem...... What are they talking about. ”

Fang Liang looked flustered and said busily:

"General......

At this time, Bai He had a saying:

"General, Brother Baihe asked the last general what was going on with the enemy's plan in the ice crack pit yesterday."

Bai Liyan looked at Fang Liang:

"That's it?"

"Yes, it's the subordinates who are curious, and they talk a lot for a while, and they ask the general for forgiveness."

"There's no secret about this, but at the moment, the enemy is the lesser people know about it, the better. When you have to return to the Central Plains in the future, you will know, don't ask too much now, but you understand! ”

"My subordinates understand!"

It is not easy to crack a foot and a half thick ice surface for ten miles in winter, and it is impossible to rely on manpower. Shortly after the capture of Montina, Bailiyan ordered the reduction of his forces in order to have enough time to burn quicklime.

Bailiyan asked the royal guests to transport thousands of stones of quicklime to fifty miles upstream to the south of the battle, and the night before the negotiations chiseled the surface of the river and poured quicklime into the river, which produced a violent exothermic effect when the quicklime met the water, so as to melt the local ice and quickly raise the water temperature.

At the same time, the input of salt, brine and alkali can maximize the freezing point of the water, at this time, the hot water after continuous boiling and heating flows downstream, the temperature under the ice rises, and the ice gradually begins to melt, but it is not enough to completely melt the ice in a foot and a half.

At the same time, the upstream quicklime continues to heat 100 degrees of water, and the water temperature flowing to 50 miles downstream is not very high, so it is necessary to advance the waste heat, which is why it is necessary to cut the material all night in advance, so as to avoid exposure to steam during the day, and also give the downstream ice time to preheat and thaw.

At the same time, Bailiyan added salt to the quicklime, and the ice melting effect of salt only has a good effect on ice and snow above minus 5 degrees, and below minus 5 degrees, the effect of salt melting snow and ice melting decreases, and when the hot water with salt water flows downstream, it will accelerate the melting speed of the ice surface with the water surface.

All it takes is to draw Mooney to the crossing, and when tens of thousands of iron hooves step on the ice, the thinning ice will be weakened by the enormous pressure of the horses' hooves.

Generally speaking, fifteen centimeters of ice can be used for walking and skating, thirty centimeters for driving, and half a meter for main battle tanks.

With a foot and a half of ice more than forty-five centimeters thick, there was naturally no problem for the cavalry to pass, and Mooney was certainly well aware of this. So he measured the ice thickness everywhere a few days in advance so that the cavalry could pass through, but he didn't calculate it by all means, and Bailiyan came back yin.

As a tactic of surprise and victory, it is still necessary to continue to keep it secret.

Breaking Fang Liang apart, Bai Liyan and Bai He continued:

"Have the corpses been ordered?"

"After a rough count, 36,7800 people froze to death and were killed, and 16,700 people fled from the river to the east bank.

"How many casualties we have."

"More than 7,400 people, of which more than 3,700 died, and the vast majority of them were newly annexed troops."

"So many, how did you die?"

"Hey, it's not that you were trampled to death by a random horse, you don't have any brains, and you still send the head forward with a spear in your hand, isn't this looking for death!"

It is not surprising that the new annexes were poorly trained, lacking in armor, and suffering heavy casualties. But yesterday there were only more than 3,000 Jinxuedi killed on the shore, and the rest were drowned and frozen to death in the river. In this case, more than 7,000 people were killed and wounded, which is obviously unreasonable. In addition to the serious lack of training, Bai Liyan even suspected that there was also the credit for the instigation of the Central Plains thieves.

In the battle of the Dolandon River, Mooney lost more than 43,000 men, and those who escaped back to shore froze to death on the first day, and more than 5,000 died of illness and disease, and the rest were sick or wounded, and they never recovered.

On the fourth day after the war, Mooney fell ill with anger and had a high fever for more than ten days, almost dying. After the infantry arrived, they did not dare to cross the river again, and the two armies confronted each other at the Dolandon River.

At the same time, after the Battle of Dolanton, Gongliangwen escaped safely and retreated to Deranki, and the trapped Jinxuedi people crossed the West River at the same time and retreated to the west of the Waterfall River to hold on.

At this point, in the winter of 632 of the Sheng Dynasty, before the spring of 633, the war came to an end temporarily, but the matter was far from stopping. The military defeat seriously shook the foundation of the Jin Xuedi people's rule outside the Guan, whether it was the rebels in the mountains or the people of the Central Plains who continued to be enslaved everywhere, they were all ready to move.

While the coalition forces were stepping up their efforts, the Cupigong Valley was in full swing to produce javelins.

Jiang Jie brought back some of the pike guns that Bai Li Yan had made in Kelownas, which were javelins with thin ends and a slightly thicker middle, roughly similar to modern competition javelins. After the modification of the craftsmen of the Central Plains and the personal test by Tian Peng, the javelin was thrown to 72 steps at the farthest, which is less than 110 meters.

In view of the fact that the height, physical fitness, and strength of the Central Plains people are better than those of modern people, it is not surprising that the trained throwers generally throw 70 meters.

In February, the battle of Qianyue Mountain entered a stalemate, and after repeated battles in the summer, the coalition forces basically recovered the first line of Mingzhou, Boyang, and Feiyun, and advanced to Xiaochi, Yuecheng, and Yesui.

After Mooney's defeat and the improvement of his condition, he collected the refugees and strengthened the defenses of the eastern parts of the country, and at the same time sent multiple messengers to issue a massacre order, demanding that all the Central Plains people be slaughtered everywhere.

Scalvens is a lesson from the past, and Baili Yan expects that he will have this move. As early as mid-January, a new army was sent out to instigate riots in various places to resist the massacre. Riots ensued, and the law and order situation in Po Song and Sondia provinces deteriorated rapidly.

At the end of February, thanks to the abundance of animal power and the affluence of the locality, Bailiyan gathered together an unprecedented 50,000 cavalry and more than 130,000 infantry troops, returned to Kelownas, and transferred part of Montina's women and children to Kelownas.

At the beginning of March, the temperature had just risen, and then it suddenly plummeted, and there were two heavy snowfalls, and I was worried about whether Jiang Jie would arrive on time.

Bai Liyan then led the cavalry to Kelownas, and held it until mid-March, when the temperature rose and the river thawed, Jiang Jie was late with the boat, and Lu Gao, Jiao Muhua, Sikong Nan, Su Hong, Tian Peng and others came.

"Jiang Jie has seen adults!"

"See the general's ...... for the last general"

Everyone saluted in unison, and Bailiyan also saluted:

"Excuse me."

"General Xie......"

Introducing the generals into the city, Bailiyan asked as he walked:

"Brother Sikong, how is the situation with the Soviet military division and Gong Liangwen?"

"The battle situation has greatly improved, the Jin Xuedi water army has existed in name only, and now the Waterfall River and the West River are under the control of our army, and the east of the Waterfall River is under the control of our army, and the Jin Xuedi people have retreated to the west of the Waterfall River to confront our army."

After the armistice on the Eastern Front, Temir retreated to the west bank of the Waterfall River to confront the coalition forces, and the coalition forces relied on the naval army to seal the Waterfall River, and Temir was unable to cross the river and has not been able to fight back.

The population of Derangi and Cupigon together with the coalition army reached more than 600,000, thanks to the young population structure of the Central Plains people in Po Song Province, and the size of the army, including the navy, exceeded 300,000 troops, compared with Montina and Kelownas, 5560,000, less than 190,000.

Su Fangyi was thoughtful, Jiang Jie came to supplement the troops of the Western Front, not counting the sailors and oarsmen, with 30,000 veterans and 20,000 new vassals.

The camp had already prepared hot pot and iron plate meat, and the generals were seated, Jiang Jie first said:

"My lord, the Soviet army division asked his subordinates to bring a message to the adults, the current war is frequent, it has reached the last moment, the main force of the Jin Xuedi people may return to the mainland at any time, and the Soviet army division asked the adults to consider returning to the north as soon as possible."

"This matter is also under consideration, I have calculated just now, only based on the current number of dingkou, based on a year's grain and grass, at least 250,000 unicorns are needed, not counting other miscellaneous goods and military funds.

At present, there are less than 10,000 horses in our army, barely enough for 40,000 or 50,000 people. In addition, there is a unicorn ranch in Analunda, and the number of mares is unknown. It will be very difficult for more than 1.2 million people to return to the north. I wonder what the Soviet division can gain? ”

"There are some, when General Gongliangwen attacked last year, he robbed more than 30,000 unicorn horses, and there were more than 26,000 left in the retreat of Delangi, and there were still some in the valley."

At this time, Sikong Nan said:

"Jin Xuedi people must know that our army wants to return north, at the end of January and early February, according to the scouts, Jin Xuedi people have sent heavy troops to escort the baggage, and avoid the big river, so that my navy is useless, if you want to intercept a sufficient number of unicorns, I am afraid it will not be easy."

"Not only is it not easy, at the moment our army has more than 1.2 million people, and Sundya still has 780,000 Central Plains citizens, even if half of it is obtained, the number of Central Plains horses needed will have to increase by 780,000 horses, not counting other captured baggage and additional expenses." Bai Liyan was worried, and continued: "But at present, the Jin Xuedi people are not much better than our army, their troops are seriously damaged, the naval army is completely annihilated, the financial embarrassment, the foundation has been shaken by our army, and now the division of troops to fight in the east and west, the longer it drags on, the more ineffective it will be for them." ”

"And what is the general's plan?" Sikong Nan asked.

"According to the Malay Survey, for the past two months, Mooney has been actively preparing for war east of Dolanton, while the Kinshidi people west of Montia have been busy putting out the rebellion of the Central Plains. Originally, he planned to transfer Montina and Kelownas, the old and weak, women and children in the two places, back to Drangi in boats one after another, stretching out their hands and feet first. Jiang Jie, how many ships does the navy have now? ”

"In a battle with the Kinsherdis in Parvins, more than twenty ships were captured, and some were plundered on the way, and now there are four hundred and forty-seven ships, and with the fifty ships of the lords, there must be about five hundred. However, in order to prevent the Jinxuedi people from building bridges over the West River and the Waterfall River, the Soviet division left more than 100 ships. ”
