Chapter 277: Skis, Deputy Commander

Linghu sandwiched two wooden planks and walked into Liang Xiao's tent. "My lord, I have a way to walk in the snow."

Liang Xiao put down the scroll in his hand, glanced at Linghu, and smiled. It's been three days since he issued the bounty, and he estimates that Linghu should be able to think of a way. But after glancing at the wooden board in Linghu's hand, his brows that had just stretched out immediately furrowed again.

"These two planks are so rough that they can glide through the snow?"

Linghu was stunned. "My lord, how do you know I'm going to slide?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Because I don't think you can fly, you can only slide."

"Fly?" Linghu's eyes widened. "Can a man fly?"

"Whether you can fly or not, we'll talk about it later. Let's talk about your plan first. You Cypriots use such planks to glide on the snow? ”

Linghu's eyes stared at Liang Xiao directly, not knowing what to say. After a while, he suddenly understood, hurriedly put down the plank, and knelt down on one leg in front of Liang Xiao. "Your Excellency, you ...... You're ......."

"Just know." Liang Xiao waved his hand and motioned for the spirit fox to get up. "There is no shortage of warriors in the mercenary group, but there is a shortage of wise men. I think you can do it. However, whether it works or not depends on whether you can use this method. ”

The spirit fox woke up like a dream, and hurriedly fell to the ground, clasped his hands into fists, and raised them above his head. "Thank you, sir. Don't worry, this method will definitely work. That's what I did when I was hunting in the mountains. Time is in a hurry, it is indeed a little rougher, as long as the adults give me a day, I can polish it more finely. When the time comes, you will be able to glide on the soft snow. ”

Liang Xiao nodded. "Okay, let's go out and give it a try."

"Whoa." Linghu agreed loudly. Get up and pick up the plank. Out of the big tent.

Liang Xiao put on a big coat. Followed and walked out. Alpha and the others hurriedly followed. Liang Xiao and Linghu's words just now were in a fog, and after saying a few words, Linghu, who had always been arrogant, knelt down somehow. They were very curious to see how the spirit fox could fly on the snow.

Liang Xiao followed Linghu to the mercenary camp and beckoned everyone out. The mercenaries looked excited when they saw the spirit fox holding two wooden boards, and guessed that the spirit fox might have thought of a way, so they couldn't help but be a little frustrated. These two days. Everyone held back their strength, wanting to take the knife and take the position of the deputy head of the mercenary group, but they didn't expect to be preempted by Linghu in the end.

In fact, many mercenaries know how to ski, but they just think about it, but they don't act like a spirit fox, and they let go of this good opportunity.

Liang Xiao announced to everyone that Linghu claimed to have found a way to walk on the snow, and he himself expressed doubts, so he wanted to verify it in public. If it does. That knife is Linghu's. Linghu will also become Li Shuyun's deputy and lead the mercenary group together.

Under the gaze of the crowd. Linghu tied the plank to his feet, used two spears as poles, and began to slide. He shuttled left and right between the valleys, coming and going like flying, uphill and downhill, as fast as a galloping horse, which not only opened the eyes of the mercenaries, but even Liang Xiao felt a little incredible.

It turns out that such a rudimentary tool can also be skied.

The spirit fox slid back and forth in the valley for two rounds, and finally turned around and stopped in front of Liang Xiao. "How's that, sir?"

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Linghu with a critical gaze. "You can, and so can others? How long does it take to learn this? ”

Linghu knew this, and laughed loudly: "My lord, this is not a great skill, many of us mercenaries can do it. Even if you don't, if you have two days to practice, you will definitely have no problem walking. ”

"Two days?" Liang Xiao looked at the mercenaries around him. "Can you learn it in two days?"

"Of course. They are all masters selected by adults, and their skills are inherently more flexible than ordinary people. Even if you have never skated in the snow, many people often skate on ice as children. Skiing is about the same as skating, two days is enough. ”

"I'm still not convinced. Well, if you can teach me in two days, I'll believe you. ”

"It's a deal." Linghu couldn't help but rejoice. Liang Xiao is really face-saving, not only creating such a good opportunity for him, but also learning skiing from him personally. From Liang Xiao's words, it is likely that he would have said this, just to give him a chance in front of everyone.

Linghu got off the ski, walked in front of Liang Xiao, and personally tied the skis to Liang Xiao to demonstrate the action. Liang Xiao has skied a few times, but he is not a master. has been deserted for many years, and if you learn it again at this moment, it is similar to that of a novice. However, after all, he has some experience, and with two years of hard training in archery, his physical agility is by no means comparable to that of his previous life. Under the guidance of the spirit fox, it only took him half an hour to be able to slide on the snow.

"Not bad, not bad." Liang Xiao smiled and exhaled a breath of hot air. "What do you see?"

Linghu said: "They don't have such good skills as adults, but two days should be enough." In two days, we will be able to leave here and go pick up the heads of the Huns. ”

Some of the mercenaries originally resisted and deliberately acted disapprerovingly, and when they heard that they were going to pick up the heads of the Huns, they immediately forgot about this stubble. Just kidding, this is the final credit of this battle, how can they be left alone. For a while, they were gossiping and asking for orders.

"In less than two days, I would have just made a board."

"Two days is enough. We've been playing with ice and snow since we were kids, and we've slipped down the mountains to play with it, and we're still afraid of it? ”

"What do you want for two days. With Lao Tzu's skills, it will be in one day. ”

"What kind of skill is learned, can you shoot an arrow while sliding?"

Hearing that the mercenaries were comparing with each other, Liang Xiao was in the right place. If you want to twist these unruly guys into a rope, it is useless to preach alone, and there must be enough interests to lure them. The head of the Huns is the best temptation at this moment.

In the midst of the mercenaries' arguments, Liang Xiao personally put the Uzi Treasure Knife on the waist of the spirit fox. In front of the mercenaries, Linghu knelt on the ground, hugged Liang Xiao's legs, kissed his knees, and made a very formal prostrate salute to pay allegiance to Liang Xiao.

The other six people, who were also the leaders of the mercenaries with Linghu, looked at them with envy and helplessness.

Immediately, Li Shuyun and Linghu stood together and ordered all the mercenaries to prepare a pair of skis, learn to ski, and set off two days later.

The mercenaries were enthusiastic and scattered, scrambling to find suitable wood for skis.

Liang Xiao found Wu Cai and asked him to arrange for the craftsmen accompanying the army to help. Yu Cai agreed. Whether it's a mercenary or Liang Xiao, the final credit is his. Liang Xiao was willing to contribute, but he couldn't ask for it.

With the help of craftsmen, the progress was greatly accelerated. A day later, the mercenaries began to practice skiing with a pair of skis in hand.

Liang Xiao is also among them. As Linghu said, he learned quickly, and after a day, he was able to glide freely. Tu Niu'er, Pang Shuo and others also mastered it very quickly, and the slowest were the Alpha Four. Although they are agile, they have lived in the palace since they were children, and they have no chance to play in the ice and snow like the mercenaries except for a snowball fight. Fortunately, they can endure hardships, are not afraid of falling, and quickly mastered it.

It was one day longer than expected, and four days later, Liang Xiao and the others set off. In order to lighten the burden as much as possible, Liang Xiao, like the others, only brought the necessary weapons and dry food, and the rest stayed in the camp.

Mo Cai and Ah Xiana went out of the camp to see each other off, looking at Liang Xiao standing on the skis with two spears in his hands, Ah Xiana looked at Batu who was so cold that his neck was shrunk, and sighed. Batu rolled his eyes, turned his head, and looked at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.

Liang Xiao smiled secretly, said goodbye, and galloped away.

Alpha and the other twenty-four followed.

――

Wu Dan sat cross-legged in the big tent, his eyes tightly closed, and he bit his lip.

The fire in the center of the tent shone through his eyelids, and his eyes were blood-red.

The tent was blown by the wind, and the snow on the tent was blown down by the wind, sliding down piece by piece, and falling to the ground silently, but it caused a loud noise in Wudan's heart.

This heavy snow pushed the Huns into the abyss. The knee-high snow made it difficult for them to walk, and the cold wind made them hungry and cold. The grain and grass have long been eaten, the war horses have been slaughtered, more than half of the people have starved to death and froze to death, and the matter of cannibalism has happened more than once, and Wudan has no intention of stopping it.

Eat, it's better to live a few more days than to starve to death together.

The situation is getting more and more severe, and Wudan doesn't know how much life there is. He didn't dare to face the hungry and cold soldiers anymore, so he could only hide in the tent and meditate according to the wizard's request.

He had lived for almost thirty years, and it was the first time he had sat down to think.

As soon as he thought about it, he realized how ignorant and stupid he had been before, and he didn't know how many mistakes he had made. For example, this expedition, if he didn't want to grab merit and go directly to Suye City after defeating the Dawan people, but according to the predetermined plan, he would definitely not suffer such a heavy blow if he attacked the Dawan people in the mountains with Hunt Jiaomi.

He wasted a good opportunity and pushed himself into the abyss. If he had taken control of the mountain pass and retreated directly from the mountain pass, he could have rushed back to the east of the mountain and returned to the pastures of the Wusun people before the snow fell, instead of being trapped in the heavy snow as he is now.

Wudan regretted it.

At this moment, the big tent was opened, and a cold wind blew in, and Wu Shan shivered, opened his eyes, and saw a wizard with a frightened face.

"Great King, the gods have sent down an oracle, and there is an enemy approaching, and we must leave immediately."

Wudan was taken aback. Over the wizard's shoulder, he saw a thick layer of snow and thick clouds outside the tent. "What kind of enemy can march in such weather?"

"I don't know." The wizard shook his head. "The oracle is vague, and I can only analyze a rough omen. To be on the safe side. Ask the king to get up at once, so as not to suffer a catastrophe. ”

Wudan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and stomped his foot hard. "Okay, gather the guard battalion, and we'll go at once."

As soon as the words came out, his expression lit up strangely, as if he had unloaded an overwhelmed burden, and his whole body was relaxed.
