The thirty-six ghost soldiers have been confined in the black prison for a longer time than Li Mi's, in this environment, their desire and will to survive are stronger than anyone else's, and the mausoleum guards have also survived the ordeal of life and death, if it comes to enduring hardships, no one is more tenacious than them.

The storm continued, and everyone was marching like swimming in the snow, and thanks to the fact that the fire dragon was wrapped tightly in moisture-proof linoleum, and he nailed his skateboard, which allowed him to slide on the snow, otherwise it would be troublesome to fall into the snow.

However, Li Mi underestimated the power of this blizzard, in such a situation, the visibility was too low, and he couldn't see the road ahead clearly, if it weren't for the guide's familiarity with geography, he would have been lost in the wind and snow.

Speaking of this guide, he was also strongly opposed, and he was unwilling to participate, and in the end, it was Li Rumei who personally protected the guide, and the guide was willing to come out to die.

After all, the local people know that in the weather of the big smoke cannon, they can't stand for long at all, although Li Mi and the others are extraordinary, but after all, they are just killing themselves.

The north of the Great Wall is called the white-haired wind, the snowflakes are swept away, overwhelming, the snow particles are crackling and beating, and the eyes can't be opened, where can you run around?

From noon until dark, they had only walked five or six miles, and the march was really difficult, so they did not think about an inch at night, but finally found a shelter and settled down.

In this weather, it was impossible to make a fire, and everyone was digging snow pits one by one, hiding in the snow pits to avoid the wind, and they did not dare to close their eyes, for fear that they would never wake up after falling asleep.

The pepper soup and ginger soup they brought had long been frozen in the gourd, and they couldn't make a fire, so they naturally couldn't drink the soup to keep out the cold.

It was also thanks to this tight body of water, plus the fur robes given by the defenders, that they could keep their bodies warm, otherwise they would have really frozen to death halfway.

Li Mi was also a little annoyed, he really didn't expect it to be so cold, Da Fan Ruo Changguang and Yitian Sword seemed to be frozen into ice crystals, and they would break if they were knocked slightly.

The middle and late Wanli was the outbreak period of the Xiaoice River, which was dry and hot in summer, and extremely cold in winter, but I didn't expect it to be so cold.

Li Mi didn't feel how cold it was, but he didn't dare to adjust his breath and settle down, because after entering the meditation, his mental state would relax, and his qi and blood would walk extremely slowly, and he couldn't maintain his body temperature in such cold weather.

Of course, there are also ways to generate heat in the inner family kung fu, but it will consume a large amount of qi and blood essence, and if you can't make a fire at the moment, you can't eat, you can't replenish enough energy, and Li Mi has given up pranayama and meditation.

It is also God's favor, in the second half of the night, the white-haired wind finally gradually stopped, and everyone was also relieved, hurriedly lit a fire, boiled hot pepper soup and ginger soup spirits, and drank it hotly, although it was spicy and had a stomachache, but the whole person came to life.

When the day dawned, the whole world was covered in snow, and the slightly low trees and jungles were covered, as if the surface of the ground had been flattened, and as far as the eye could see, it was only a snow-white patch.

Thanks to the fact that there are many mountains in this place, it is not very difficult to identify the direction, but the difficulty is that the snow is too deep and too loose, and you don't know what will happen under your feet when you step on it.

Fortunately, the guide was quite delicate, and the team avoided several dangers, and then sped up, climbed several hills, and glided a little more on the icy surface of the river, and finally reached the front of a high mountain.

It was the tail of the Thousand Mountains Range, but it was still very high, and if nothing happened, they would be able to go around the back of the Tribal Army by crossing this mountain.

After all, the tribal army is outnumbered, the team is huge, and the speed of travel is not fast, so there is no worry about catching up, the only difficulty is how to carry the fire dragon out of the water and climb over this mountain.

In the snow, the fire dragon can glide out of the water, but it can't be used to climb the mountain, so it can only be dragged with a belt, and brute force is used.

Although the storm has passed, there is still light snow, not to mention the rugged and steep mountain road, now it is covered with snow-white clothes, if you are not careful, but you will fall into the abyss, not to mention that there is no road ahead, you can only open the mountain.

Since he chose this method, Li Mi will not feel sorry for himself, and everyone will not slander the sky, but just move forward silently, after all, it is the emperor who lives up to his painstaking efforts, and in the end he has crossed the past!

However, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, especially when the road is unpredictable, even more so, the temperature on the top of the mountain is too low, even the fire can not be lit, it is impossible to spend the night on the top of the mountain, and everyone can only carefully go down the mountainside, so they dare to make a fire to warm and feed their stomachs.

On the morning of the second day, when I looked down the mountain, I finally saw gray and yellow trees and roads, and there was no trace of green, as if the whole world had changed black and white.

The road was like a gray river, not yet covered by snow, indicating that Nurhaci's army had not passed for too long, and that it was most likely after a snowstorm had passed through this section.

Because if you have passed before the snowstorm, then the snowstorm will cover the road surface, and only after the snowstorm has passed, will such a fresh path be left.

Everyone was also overjoyed, but they were not in a hurry to descend the mountain, because after descending the mountain, they would have to chase after the army of Nuerhachi, and they could not regenerate the fire, otherwise they would attract the attention of the tribal army scouts.

So they had to eat their last hot meal on the mountain, and when they came down the mountain, they had to eat dry food and snow water.

After going down the mountain, Zuo Di took a few mausoleum guards to take the lead in exploring the road, and it took half an hour to come back, saying that it was only half a day's walk from Nu'er Hachi's army.

These tribal armies are led by the cavalry of the Eight Banners, with a heavy baggage behind, and countless livestock and people in disorganized clothes, it seems that even if the whole army is not attacking, it is also out of the old family.

Even so, it was not without worries, Zuo Di and the others caught a few Jurchen scouts on the road, and after asking the guide to clarify the military situation, they could only kill.

The brothers were most concerned about Zhou Yu and Zhang Jiao, but Zuo Di and the mausoleum guards did not dare to get too close, and the Chinese army could not see the big tent, so there was no need to mention Zhou Yu and Zhang Jiao.

However, Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu are hiding in the army, which is undoubted.

Because not only Zuo Di and others who explored the way, but also Li Mi and others who stayed behind in the rear, they also found some clues.

Those outside the Ming Dynasty, except for Han Chinese, Koreans and Mongols, were all called Jurchens.

The Jurchens believed in shamanism, which believed that all things had spirits, and that their hair was to receive the aura of heaven and earth, so they would leave a small whip on the top of their head in order to receive the aura.

Shamanism is a primitive nature sect, will sacrifice to various nature gods, two days before the wind and snow storm, of course, the wrath of heaven and earth, priests are also indispensable worship activities.

Li Mi, who stayed behind, and Zuo Di, who was exploring the way, actually found a lot of wild altars, built with stones, decorated with pine branches and cloth belts, and a lot of shells and other things.

If it was just these altars, you wouldn't have found much information, but there were a lot of ashes and remnants of incense sticks around the altars, and even some remnants of yellow talismans!

The yellow talisman of Taiping Dao is full of ancient meaning, but it is not something that ordinary folk Taoist priests can write, Li Mi has practiced in Longhu Mountain, and Zhao Sima has verified it on the side, so he can recognize it.

This also means that at least Zhang Jiao is in the tribal army!

There are also black prison brothers who will question, even if they find the yellow talisman of Taiping Dao, it can only mean that there is a demon Dao of Taiping Sect in the army, not necessarily Zhang Jiao himself.

However, Li Mi and Zhao Sima disagreed, because these talismans were stamped with an edict, and they were Heavenly Master talismans, and the Heavenly Master talisman could not be written by anyone!

Besides, Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu left Japan, fled to North Korea, and were ambushed and killed by Li Mi and others in North Korea, and their family funds were squandered, in order to steal through the Korean Pass, they did not bring many entourages.

After confirming this, the brothers were also invigorated, and they couldn't wait to rush up and kill Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu immediately!

However, Li Mi knew that now was not the time to make a move, just to let the brothers die down, hide their voices, maintain the fire dragon out of the water, and try to prepare for war.

Zuo Di still took the mausoleum guards and kept spying on the military situation back and forth, Zuo Di even sneaked into the Dao tribe army at night, but unfortunately he still couldn't see Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu.

But he didn't get nothing, at least he determined the position of the Chinese army, or the position of Nuer Hachi!

Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu have won the trust of Nuer Hachi, and they will inevitably accompany them, although they have not seen these two thieves, but they will not be too bad!

The soldiers are very fast, Nuer Hachi is going to fight everywhere, it is impossible not to know such a simple art of war, so they will not delay for too long, I believe that they will soon launch an offensive towards Kuandian!

Sure enough, this morning, before dawn, there was a rumbling cannon sound ahead!

Thick smoke rose billowing up, and the pillars of smoke swayed up like black dragons, pressed by the wind and snow, as if they would not give in to anything, and they wanted to soar into the sky!

Li Mi and the others woke up instantly, Zuo Di immediately led people to investigate, and returned in less than half an hour, and said to Li Mi: "They have started!" ”

Zhao Sima and the others were also excited, they had already made preparations, as long as Li Mi gave an order, they would be able to launch a surprise attack!

However, Li Mi did not give an order, but said to everyone: "Wait a little longer." ”

Although the brothers were a little impatient, they were not stunned, and naturally knew the truth, not to mention that Li Rumei was present, if Li Mi made any wrong decisions, Li Rumei would definitely speak out.

Since Li Rumei also remained silent, it shows that Li Mi's hesitation is justified.

At present, Nuer Hachi's army has just launched a strong attack, and it is the moment when the morale of the army is at its strongest, and the total number of people in the big spotted ghost pomfret is only 300 people, and this time it must be killed with one blow, and it is impossible to carry out a second raid.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a complete grasp before it can be done.

And the more troops Nuer Hachi invested in Kuandian, the longer the stalemate lasted, and the more casualties there were, the more favorable it was to Li Mi and the others' raid plan.

Waiting until they collect their troops and prepare to cook for the night, and then start when they are most relaxed, it is actually not a bad time.

However, if they wait until the siege is over, without the containment and attention of the defenders, after they start, they will face the siege of the tribal army.

Therefore, the best time is to launch a surprise attack on their backs while they are attacking the city, but it is just necessary for the defenders to consume a large part of their forces and exhaust their morale!

Time is life, every moment that Li Mi and others delayed, there were defenders killed in the defensive battle, the longer it dragged on, the more serious the casualties of the tribal army were, but at the same time, the defenders will also suffer casualties, if one is not careful, I am afraid that I will get through it and let Nuer Hachi capture Kuandian, then everything will be over!

However, Li Mi knows that there is only one chance, even if he sees death as home, he must not joke with his life, all sacrifices must be deserved!
