Lian Shaowen stood on top of the city, looking at all the soldiers gathered in Weng City, and his heart was bitter.

The nearest batch of grain and grass was supposed to arrive five days earlier, but there was nothing. The scouts sent out only found a few traces of the fierce battle in the snow and ice, and the fresh blood stains proved that the food convoy had indeed come out, but now, there were no more. Thousands of grain carriers, as well as the Thunder Army that You Ge was protecting the grain route on the left, were all gone.

There is no doubt that they were wiped out by the Ming army.

For a long time, the ice and snow in the sky and the bad weather have become his best weapons to resist the Ming army, and he was originally confident that he would hold on until the beginning of spring next year. Such a season is really not suitable for large-scale use of troops. But it was clear that the Ming army had violated the norm, and in the midst of such weather, they went out on a large scale to cut off his only source of hope.

The last bit of grain has been boiled into porridge and entered the stomachs of the soldiers today, and even the war horses of all the officers have been stabbed, and then it has become a rare meat for the soldiers in the near future.

In fact, those horses are really unbearable to fight anymore. In Shuanglian City, it is difficult for people to eat, and there is still something to feed the war horses?

Now in the twin cities, there is not a single grain of food. Even the things for heating have basically been destroyed, and all the things that can be dismantled and burned in the city have been demolished, except for some houses where they live temporarily.

The weather was a little good a few days ago, and the sun brought some temperature, but it was only during the day, and at night, the temperature dropped even more. And in the past two days, it seems that winter also knows that its end is not far away, so it is unusually raging.

Winds, snow, hail, or a combination of attacks, or mixed with each other, for a while, the temperature was cooler than before.

Lian Shaowen knew he had to make a decision.

The Ming army made it clear that they would not come to attack his Shuanglian City, in fact, they didn't have to fight at all now, as long as they waited a few more days, the people in Shuanglian City would either freeze to death or starve to death. This situation made a military acropolis like Shuanglian City, which existed purely for battle, completely useless.

Shuanglian City is not big, and there are only more than 3,000 soldiers stationed there, and they are not considered elite soldiers, almost all of Daqin's elite soldiers and horses have been killed or surrendered to the Ming Kingdom, and now they have become the enemies of Daqin. But even so, if the Ming army made it clear that the chariots and horses were fighting hard, Lian Shaowen was sure that he would give the Ming army a lot of casualties by virtue of the solidity of the city, the perfection of the facilities and the sufficiency of the equipment. Without paying several times the price of the defenders, the Ming army would never be able to take the Shuanglian City.

But now, he had to abandon these advantages and go out of the city to fight the Ming army.

He had to have food and charcoal for heating.

Either die in battle, freeze to death and starve to death. One or the other option, there is no third.

Some subordinates proposed to abandon Shuanglian City and retreat to Yongdu, but even Shaowen knew very well that Shuanglian was fifty miles away from Yongdu, and these fifty miles were basically all in the hands of the Ming cavalry now, and if they wanted to withdraw to Yongdu, it was a fool's dream, but they were afraid that as soon as they got out of the city, they would not go far, and the cavalry on both sides would appear. Then there is the endless delay, harassment, cutting, and finally slowly gnawing away all of your people, piece by piece.

He wanted to take the initiative.

The new third battalion of the Ming army on the opposite side is only ten miles away from Shuanglian City, standing at the head of Shuanglian City, Mingjian can still vaguely see the light there.

There was food, charcoal, everything you needed.

Of the 3,000 garrisons in the city, 2,657 were still able to go out of the city to fight, and the rest were either too sick to get out of bed, or frostbitten and had difficulty walking their hands and feet, so they had to stay in the city.

"Brothers, it's either life or death." Lian Shaowen looked at all the soldiers in Weng City, and some abnormal flushes appeared on everyone's faces, they hadn't had a full meal like today for a long time. But everyone also understands that this is just a severed head meal before going to the execution ground, and after eating this meal, I don't know if there will be another meal. If you want to survive, you have to go and snatch back what they need from the Akito.

Live or die!

Everyone understands what they are about to die, there is no need to explain, there is no need to motivate, everyone is motivated, in order to live, what can not be done, even death? That's just a little bit of a precedent for death.

"Kaesong!" Lian Shaowen waved his hand.

The gates of Weng City and the outer city gates were opened one after another, and the soldiers walked out in turn in silence. Lian Shaowen took one last look at the Shuanglian City, standing here, he could take in the panoramic view of this small acropolis.

"Hope to come back." He silently muttered a sentence in his heart, turned around, went down to the city, carried his sword, and followed his team.

The city of Twin Cities did not even close its gates.

Because there is no need to close it, if they win, they will naturally come back, and if they lose, what is the use of closing the city gates? With the sick men in the city who can't even lift a knife now?

The wind was so strong that it staggered the pavement.

The snow was so dense that only a faint shadow could be seen at a distance.

At other times, all the Qin troops would curse such torturous weather in the most vicious language, but today, they hope that the wind will be stronger and the snow will be denser.

Heavy winds and snow can make the enemy let their guard down, allow them to approach the enemy's camp more safely, and make them know nothing until they burst out to kill.

These evils of the past are now the hope that they will be more likely to succeed.

The soldiers gritted their teeth, bowed their heads, and fought their way through the wind and snow.

The wind and snow soon turned them into snowmen. Let them be one with this vast heaven and earth.

The station of the third battalion of the new army of Daming Tiger Prison, ten miles away from Shuanglian City, does not look different from usual, a lamp of qi death wind hangs on the top of the high fence, swaying by the wind, from time to time there will be some that cannot withstand the wind and extinguished, and then some soldiers will come over and replace it with a new one.

The entire camp, except for the ever-changing lights, was plunged into darkness, as if unprepared for the impending danger.

But inside, he was already ready to fight.

Half of the men and horses have been in a state of readiness for battle, and the other half of the rest are required to keep their armours and swords in their hands. After the weather suddenly became extremely bad today, the vigilance in the camp has been raised even more.

The enemy will come, unless they want to starve to death. The dog is still in a hurry and jumps off the wall, let alone the person? This was the basis for Chen Shaowei to judge that the enemy would definitely come to attack his station.

But when he told the Chinese army his judgment and asked the Chinese army to give some support so that he could take the opportunity to capture Shuanglian City, the emperor suddenly arrived at his camp with a team of personal guards, but it made him a little nervous.

"Report!"

A soldier hurried into the tent, the snow piled up on his body falling with his movements.

Chen Shaowei stood up and looked at the soldier with some nervousness.

"The Qin army has left Shuanglian City and is marching towards our camp." The soldier ran down on one knee and greeted Chen Shaowei with some joy.

"Great!" Chen Shaowei was overjoyed and jumped up. "Command all the horses to prepare for battle as planned."

Several guards rushed out of the big tent, and Chen Shaowei also left his tent and hurried towards the big tent where His Majesty the Emperor was resting. The battle plan has already been arranged, and as soon as the order is given, everyone can be in place.

This is his home field, even if Shaowen doesn't come, if he comes, he doesn't have to think about leaving. The mood that had previously been disliked by His Majesty because of his own misjudgment was now gone, and was replaced by a deep joy, he had already prepared everything, and a great victory would happen in front of His Majesty's eyes.

There were no lights in the camp, and it looked the same as before, but under the cover of darkness, all the soldiers had already arrived at their positions. Qin Feng stood on a snow-covered high ground, just enough to look down on the entire front, and Chen Shaowei stood beside him.

In the darkness, there was silence, time passed little by little, but there was still no movement in the direction of the attack. This made Liu Shaowei a little uneasy.

"Lian Shaowen is really a very good general." Qin Feng, who had no sense of anxiety, looked at Chen Shaowei and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the attack will take a while, and he is waiting for us to relax the most." In such weather, he can drive the soldiers to make a decisive attack, and he can still stay calm before the attack, and he can wait for the best time, although this Lian Shaowen is not famous, but he does have the talent of a general, but it is a pity. ”

When is the best time to attack, Chen Shaowei, as a general, of course knows very well, at this time he regrets that he invited His Majesty out so early, this is to let His Majesty drink wind and snow here!

"General Chen, you go and get busy with you, I don't need you to accompany me here. Waiting before the war is the hardest time for the soldiers, and you should be among the soldiers at this time. Qin Feng waved his hand, disappreroving, this cold was really not a matter to him.

Chen Shaowei said goodbye and left. At this time, not far from his camp, nearly three thousand Qin troops were quietly squatting on the snow, and the heavy snow had already fallen on their bodies in a thick layer, not to mention the night, even if it was daytime, I am afraid it would be difficult to tell that such an army was hidden here.

Both sides are waiting patiently.
