In the blink of an eye, it had entered the middle of November of the third year of the Apocalypse, and Li Yuanqing and his sons and daughters of the Immortal Camp had been resting in Zhalingwei Fort for three days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's not that Li Yuanqing doesn't want to continue the expedition, the main thing is that the snow is too big.

For three days in a row, the snowflakes showed no signs of stopping, and the thickness of the snow on the ground was almost more than half a meter deep, and it was still intensifying.

In such bad weather, Li Yuanqing could only choose to temporarily succumb to God's might.

However, although the army did not continue to march, all the work never stopped.

First of all, the supply of all kinds of war readiness and materials.

Different from the padded jackets of the sons of the Changsheng Camp, the Jurchens and slaves here mostly used the furs of various beasts as their clothes.

Although the padded jackets of the children of the Changsheng Camp are thick enough, they are really unbearable in such weather.

The main thing is that the wind resistance is too poor.

The winter in southern Liaoning can be regarded as cold, but compared with this side, it is still a small thing, and the gap is really obvious.

Li Yuanqing estimated that even in ordinary times, the wind strength here would be almost above six or seven levels, and if it caught up with a strong wind, I was afraid it would be eight or nine levels......

Although the cotton jacket was carefully sewn by the ladies of the women's camp on Changsheng Island, it was still incomparable with animal skin because of its density.

The clothes of the local Jurchens and slaves were mostly made of deerskin, fur, and even leopard and tiger skins.

The fur of these animals is not only thick, but also quite soft and warm.

At this time, the two forts of Kemoerhewei and Zhalingwei were conquered one after another, and Li Yuanqing also obtained a large number of various skins.

In this state, he certainly does not skimp.

In the past three days, in addition to distributing the leather jackets seized from these tartars and slaves directly to the soldiers, Li Yuanqing also distributed a large number of captured furs to various thousand brigades, so that the sons and daughters could sew the leather jackets by themselves.

But soldiers can kill people and fight, do needlework, they are obviously not good at it.

Li Yuanqing also consumed a lot of brain cells for this.

In the end, he simply resorted to the simplest but most effective method, which was to sew all kinds of animal skins directly into waistcoats and drape them over the cotton jackets of the soldiers.

This is not aesthetically pleasing, but it is practical, especially windproof.

And the soldiers can show the sleeves of the red mandarin duck jackets, and when the visibility is not high, they can better distinguish their companions.

As for all kinds of ready-made fur hats, leather boots, and the like, Li Yuanqing took the lead in distributing them to the sons and daughters who needed them the most, directly through the suppression at all levels, and in accordance with the task needs of the soldiers.

At this time, it was the middle of winter, and the heavy snow covered the mountains, and the tunbao such as Kemoerhewei and Zhalingwei were stocked with rich winter food, after all, it was difficult for them to hunt and hunt in winter.

Kemo and Hewei are just small forts, and the harvest is still a little close.

But on Zha Lingwei's side, Li Yuanqing's harvest was extremely rich.

All kinds of bacon, bacon, and jerky, including mushrooms, fruits, etc., add up, I am afraid that there will be nearly 100,000 catties, enough for Li Yuanqing's sons to eat for a month.

Although there were not many war horses, only more than 400, Zhalingwei had about 200 mules and more than 100 hunting dogs.

These livestock, alive can take on the task of transporting, and dead can also eat meat.

Li Yuanqing naturally accepted all the orders.

It's just that the weather is too bad now, and it is still a little unrealistic for most children to learn to ride horses.

Fortunately, most of the sons and daughters of Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Camp were born in Liaomin, and there were not a few who could ride horses, and at this time, Li Yuanqing already had more than 800 war horses, so he simply selected some clever and resolute sons from various departments to join the scout team.

As a result, Li Yuanqing's scout team alone reached more than 800 people.

In addition, Shu Luohuan also has more than a dozen armored slaves, domesticated falcons, hunting dogs, and the like.

Li Yuanqing's reconnaissance ability in this area is almost invincible.

Inside the Zhaling Guard Hall.

The brazier will warm the room like spring.

Li Yuanqing wore a vest made of tiger skin and sat condescendingly on the main seat.

Duan Xiliang, Xu Heizi, Shunzi, Liu Dadou, Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde, Li Sansheng and other major generals stood on the left and right.

Shu Luohuan knelt respectfully in the middle, and carefully reported the situation to Li Yuanqing, "Master, the slave has already found out." In the past few days, the neighboring Fushan Wei, Youtiewei, and Hushi Gate Guards have already contacted the Nuer Gandusi in the northeast. According to the news of the slave maid, in the past few days, the Nuer Gandusi has been preparing to gather more than 3,000 people, and there are more than a dozen tunbao in the west, and they are also preparing to gather nearly 2,000 people to encircle and suppress our Zhalingwei. ”

Duan Xiliang couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "These dog offal! If Lao Tzu doesn't go to them, they still dare to come to Lao Tzu? It's good to come! It just saved Lao Tzu's time and stewed these dog offal! ”

Kong Youde was also extremely excited, "General, this is a great opportunity!" As long as we defeat their main force, we will have no opponents within a radius of thousands of miles! ”

Junko also said: "General, that's right. Break them one by one, it's better to annihilate them in one fell swoop! Since they dared to come, it saved us a lot of effort. ”

Xu Heizi, Liu Dadou, Huang Guoshan, and Li Sansheng also nodded and seconded.

Li Yuanqing nodded lightly, but he didn't show much.

He stood up, looked at the map carefully for a while, and said to Shu Luohuan with a smile: "Brother Luo Huan, over there of Nu'er Gandusi, there must be at least a few hundred miles to Zhalingwei, not to mention the west, how can the troops of these dozen tunbao be gathered, how can it take ten days and half a month, right?" ”

Shu Luo hurriedly said respectfully: "The master is wise. These leaders are more active than one on weekdays. But if they want to send troops to deal with our Immortal Camp Heavenly Army, the slave maid estimates that they will have to ink for at least half a month. This is still when the weather is normal. If there is another heavy snow blocking the mountain, I am afraid that it will have to wait until the New Year. ”

"Huh?"

Duan Xiliang couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said: "What the hell, do you have to wait until the New Year?" This, this battle is still an egg! ”

Kong Youde and the others were also a little speechless.

I thought it was a good opportunity, but I didn't expect that these Tartars were so inky, so ......

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's been less than ten days since we arrived here." They can have this kind of speed, and it's not slow. Since they want to be united, then we must fulfill them. But! ”

Li Yuanqing's words suddenly changed, "I am a dignified and powerful army, how can I let these despicable Tartars lead the nose?" Brother Luo Huan, do you estimate, how long will it snow? ”

Shu Luo hurriedly said: "Go back to the master." According to the slave's experience, the snow should stop by the afternoon at the latest. In the next few days, there may be high winds. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded lightly, "The sons and daughters have been resting for three days, and all aspects of affairs are almost taken care of." ”

As he spoke, his face suddenly turned pale, "Pass my military order!" The whole army rested for two hours! Two hours later, the soldiers entered Fukuyama Guard! ”

"Yes!"

The generals also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and hurriedly left.

Shu Luohuan also hurriedly kowtowed and left to prepare.

The hall suddenly became empty, Li Yuanqing stood up, moved his hands and feet, and the bones of his body made a 'click' sound.

Behind the screen, Liu Qiao hurriedly walked over with a glass of warm hot wine, "Master, please use it." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, drank the wine in the cup, and glanced at Liu Qiao.

Liu Qiaoqiao's face was a little hot, and she hurriedly lowered her eyelashes, not daring to look at Li Yuanqing's eyes.

Li Yuanqing smiled and casually threw the wine glass aside, "Over there, you take care of her a little more." A quarter of an hour later, let's eat. In an hour, let's go! ”

"Yes, sir."

Liu Qiao was just about to leave, but Li Yuanqing grabbed her little hand with his backhand, took her in his arms forcefully, and whispered in her ear: "Eat more." will have strength. I want you to live well. ”

Liu Qiao's body was stunned, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, tears were about to flow out, "Master, slave maid, slave maid will definitely live well." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and slowly exhaled a long breath, "Go ahead." ”

"Yes!"

Watching Liu Qiao's most familiar soft curve disappear from view, Li Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although it is good to be gentle, but at this time, it is by no means the time to enjoy!

…………

By mid-afternoon, the heavy snow in the sky began to weaken.

The sons and daughters were already ready, and outside the north gate of Zhalingwei Fort, they braved the wind and snow and stood in a straight row.

All around, five or six hundred war horses were scattered around, constantly snorting in the cold wind.

Li Yuanqing was wearing a tiger skin vest and a treasure knife at his waist, riding on a tall black horse.

Glancing at the sun hidden deep in the clouds in the east, Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”

"Yes!"

In a moment, the rousing horn of the antlers sounded.

Fifty or sixty hounds opened the way, and five or six hundred cavalry guarded it.

In the sky, seven or eight falcons spread their wings and soared, and the blood-red red eagle flag led the way.

The large group of men and horses slowly but quickly drove in the direction of Fukuyama Wei to the north.

…………

Fushanwei is very close to Zhalingwei, about fifty or sixty miles away, but one is in the south of the Yangtze River and the other is in the north of the Yangtze River.

If it is summer, if you want to cross the wide Heilongjiang River, you must spend a lot of thought.

But at this time, it was the middle of winter, and the river was completely frozen, like flat land, and there were no obstacles at all.

Because of the harvest of Zhalingweibao, the scale of Li Yuanqing's team is much larger.

In the brigade, there were also many mules, horses and female dependents.

But Li Yuanqing gave the death order before leaving.

These female dependents, who are willing to follow the team, must firmly abide by the military regulations of the team and can only walk. Even Liu Qiao and Shu Murong are no exception.

Otherwise, they will be kicked out of the army and thrown into the wilderness in Zhalingwei or in the wilderness.

In this day and age, women are also valuable assets, especially young women.

It's a pity that Li Yuanqing is not a philanthropist, so it is impossible to give them too much preferential treatment.

Zalingwei Fort is already an empty city, and if they stay, they know very well what their end will be. Therefore, most people still chose to follow the team to continue the expedition.

After all, although their salaries are not high, compared to the soldiers, they hardly need to carry weight, and they are in the middle of the ranks, plus they are all locals, and they have already adapted to the climate here, so the pressure is not great.

As for all the meat and grain, Li Yuanqing used all kinds of cloth bags, assembled on both sides of the mules and horses, and no longer equipped with vehicles, just so that the team could get the maximum mobility.

After a day and a night of galloping, the next evening, the team successfully arrived outside the east gate of Fushanwei!
