Chapter 568: Finding a Way to Survive in the Impossible

The heavy snow has been falling non-stop, between heaven and earth, a vast area, all shrouded in one side, the traces left by the fierce battles of these days, slowly buried under the heavy snow, some broken large equipment towering in the snow, also clothed in a layer of white, tattered flags hanging down in wisps, but frozen together, even the wind howling, powerless to let it flutter again, a few spears stuck in the ground stood alone, maybe his blade was in the chest of a dead soldier, Now I can't see anything. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the top of the fortress, only the lookout sentinels remained, wrapped in thick cotton clothes and hoods, except for two eyes, two nostrils outside, and between breaths, there were streams of white gas. Heaven and earth were silent, and compared to the hustle and bustle of the previous days, it seemed to be two worlds.

In Zhang Aimin's camp, hundreds of puffs of green smoke rose up, and just a few meters high, they were swept into the heavy snow by the howling cold wind, and there was no trace, and occasionally a few war drums were beaten, and the barracks covering an extremely wide area were also nowhere to be found.

"What the hell!" Li Zheng shook the snow on his body, stepped into the door, and said to Li Sizhi, who was reading by the brazier: "Dad, I just inspected again, although the weather is extremely cold, we are very well prepared, the soldiers rarely have frostbite, there are plenty of charcoal and firewood in every fort and barracks, and there are also a lot of ginger and other things. ”

"Well, I also have to tell the soldiers to change their shoes and socks frequently, some soldiers like to be lazy, and if they don't change it in time after being soaked in snow, they will accidentally freeze the belt meat together, this is not fun!" Li Sizhi commanded.

"Don't worry, Dad, our soldiers are all veterans, how can they not know these things!" Li Zheng sat down, picked up a glass of steaming water, and drank it in a big gulp.

"It's better to say more than less!" Li Sizhi glanced at his son dissatisfied.

"Daddy's lesson, but Dad, this weather is just right for us to rest for a few days, Zhang Aimin's dog is crazy, this kind of weather can't always attack us, the Minzhou soldiers seem to be really unable to support it, all day today, I didn't see their sentry horses out and around! I guess there's no way we're going to attack them! Li Zheng said.

"What did you say?" Li Sizhi suddenly put down the book in his hand.

"I said that the Minzhou soldiers knew that it was impossible to fight in this kind of weather, so they didn't even send sentry cavalry." Li Zheng looked at Li Sizhi a little strangely.

Li Sizhi's face changed, he threw down the book, and strode out, and the inexplicable Li Zheng had to pull his heels.

Climbing to the top of the fortress, Li Sizhi looked through the snow curtain and tried to look at the opposite side, Zhang Aimin's camp a few miles away could not see the slightest abnormality, and occasionally the sound of golden drums could be heard, but there was no human population at all.

"In the morning, the sentries counted their cooking smoke, and there was no less!" Li Zheng probably knew what his father meant, and explained, "I sent someone to keep an eye on it!" ”

Li Sizhi was silent, Zhang Aimin is a veteran, the snow is big, it is impossible not to send sentinels, not to send patrols, if he is really so casual, he has been destroyed countless times, how can he become the commander of Minzhou, a general.

"Li Zheng, you send a team of elite horsemen to explore the other side!" Li Sizhi exhaled a long breath, "I suspect that Zhang Aimin ran away!" ”

Li Zheng glanced at Li Sizhi with some suspicion, and responded, "Yes, Dad!" I'll take someone with me personally. ”

After a pillar of incense, Li Zheng led a team of cavalry out of the fortress, the snow on the ground was already very thick, although the bottom had been frozen very strong, but the top layer was still soft and soft, the horse's hooves stepped down, almost half a foot deep, could not run at all, the war horse tried its best, but could only run out of one-third of the speed of the usual day, Li Zheng and more than 100 elite horsemen were out of the sheath of the swords and guns, cautiously approaching the barracks.

On the high sentry tower, there were no sentinels who could not be seen at all, Li Zheng's face couldn't help but change, and he rode his horse and took a few steps forward, "General Li, be careful of deceit!" A soldier reminded.

Li Zheng nodded, looked around vigilantly, the camp gate was wide open, and when he looked through the open gate, the thick white snow was spread out flatly, and there was no trace of anyone walking. At this time, he was less than a stone's throw away from the camp, and he had already entered the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, but the opponent's camp was still as silent as death.

Li Zheng said in a bad heart, this big camp does not look like a place where tens of thousands of troops are stationed now, if there are really so many people, the snow between the camp tents should not be so smooth, nor should it be so clean.

With a wave of his hand, several cavalrymen shouted, smashed their horses forward, and drove into the Minzhou military camp along the wide open gate, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared between the layers of camp tents.

After a while, a soldier turned around in circles, but his face was very strange, "General Li, run, they all ran away!" ”

Walking into the camp, all kinds of camp tents are still standing well, but the soldiers who should have lived in the camp tents are gone, Li Zheng's face is extremely ugly, the opponent is not a big problem when he runs away, the problem is that the other party is actually under his nose, silently slipping away, and the Yizhou army close at hand is not aware of it, although the weather is very bad, but Li Zheng knows that this must not be an excuse to excuse the Yizhou army, Zhang Aimin, it is really not a good stubble.

"General Li, look!" A soldier pointed ahead, following the direction pointed by the soldier, Li Zheng saw that a dying wounded soldier was leaning against the edge of the tent, but he was still holding a drumstick in his hand. Seeing the Yizhou soldier appear in front of him, the wounded soldier even grinned at them, and then his hand hung down weakly, and he never raised it again, and a Yizhou soldier ran over and stretched out his finger to probe his nose, "General, he's dead!" ”

"General Li, the brothers went to see, there were only hundreds of wounded soldiers left in the camp, some were playing drums, some were burning fires, and they made the smoke!"

"Damn, I was cheated by them!" A soldier scolded: "General, these wounded soldiers, all cut down? ”

Li Zheng sighed, "Forget it, we have won this battle, Zhang Aimin can't run far, the cavalry of the Dingzhou Mountain Wind General will block them, these wounded soldiers are willing to use their lives to delay the time of their comrades to pursue the soldiers, it is respectable, inform the brothers, take them back to the fort to rescue, whether they can survive depends on their luck!" With a flick of the horse's head, he galloped towards the fortress behind him.

"Calculated by the thief!" Li Sizhi patted his head hatefully, "Shame, I actually let tens of thousands of troops disappear under my nose, shame, after I go back, the old man has to whip me, immediately notify Li Feng behind him, the whole army of the Yizhou battalion will be dispatched, and I will catch up and bite them off a piece of meat!" ”

"Dad, in this kind of weather, the cavalry can't run! The combat power of the third brother and their Yizhou battalion will be greatly reduced! Li Zheng said.

Li Sizhi said angrily: "If we can't run fast, can the fucking Minzhou soldiers run fast?" Besides, this ghost weather, as long as it doesn't snow anymore, and the ground freezes harder than stones after a night, and it won't hinder the cavalry. We must form a two-sided attack with the cavalry army passing through the mountain wind, eliminate more now, it will be easier in the future, Zhang Aimin came to my Yizhou for a while, and he always had to leave some thoughts. ”

Zhang Aimin didn't want to leave any souvenirs for Li Sizhi, in a nameless small village, where his temporary Chinese army was located, when Zhang Aimin said that he would cross Dacang Mountain and join Qu Yongjie's troops on the other side of the mountain, all the generals were stunned.

Dacang Mountain, nearly four thousand meters high, the mountain is high and steep, the forest is dense and the cliff is high, not to mention that it is the season of heavy snow to cover the mountain, it is several other seasons, it is also difficult to cross, if it is an elite small army, it is just that, but this is an army of tens of thousands of people, how can it be possible to cross the Dacang Mountain in this weather.

"Throw away all the unnecessary stuff!" Zhang Aimin said categorically, "The soldiers each brought enough rations for seven days, and all other things were thrown away except for weapons!" ”

"General Zhang, you're not breaking through, you're going to die!" Ouyang Jianxiong said angrily: "At this time, how to cross the Dacang Mountain, how can the war horse go up?" ”

"Kill all the horses!" Zhang Aimin said coldly.

"Are you crazy? Don't you know how precious a war horse is? Do you think we are Li Qing, who can get a large number of war horses from the grassland at any time? ”

Zhang Aimin sneered: "In my opinion, a soldier's life is much more valuable than a war horse, and a horse can still be bought, but can a soldier's life be bought with silver?" ”

"If you climb over the Great Cangshan Mountain, will the soldiers die? Either fall to death, or freeze to death and starve to death! Ouyang Jian said strongly.

Zhang Aimin slapped the table, "General Ouyang, don't forget, I am the commander of the First Army." Do you dare to disobey? ”

"You're a mess!" Ouyang Jianqiang roared, "General Zhang, our Imperial Forest Army is fighting with you, not your subordinates!" ”

Zhang Aimin stared at him for a long time, his eyes were like knives, Ouyang Jianqiang also stared at him without showing weakness, the two looked at each other for a moment, Zhang Aimin suddenly sighed, "General Ouyang, now you also understand our situation, over the Dacang Mountain, we still have a chance to live, this is the only flaw they left, Li Huaiyuan could not have thought that we would risk crossing the Dacang Mountain, at this time, whether it is Yizhou, or Jinzhou in front of us, it is already a trap everywhere, if my expectation is good, at this time Yizhou Li Feng has led the cavalry to chase after him, There is not much time left for us, and this gap is our last way out. ”

"The cavalry passing through the mountain wind is less than a hundred miles away from us, this is the sentry report we just received, fortunately, this heavy snow has delayed the speed of the opponent's march, which gives us enough time to retreat, everyone, General Zhang Ai has taken Gufu a day ago, opening our way to Dacang Mountain."

"We have to survive in the cracks, find a way to survive in the impossible. Generals, if we don't risk the big cang, but go head-to-head with the Dingzhou Guowang group, I can tell you very clearly that under their two-sided attack, we have no chance of winning, and we can only be wiped out, and even the other party doesn't have to fight us, just drag us here, and we can freeze to death and starve to death in this ice and snow, where to go, I don't need to say, right? ”

And all the people in the tent were silent.

"Climb the mountain, it is possible to survive, save part of your strength, stay or break through to Jinzhou, it is a dead end, generals, we have no choice!"

Zhang Aimin said sadly.

"Report!" A sentry outside came quickly, "General Zhang, thousands of cavalry of Li Feng in Yizhou, less than twenty miles away from our department, please show the general!" ”

Before Zhang Aimin could speak, Ouyang Jianqiang on the side had already jumped up, "Li Feng'er, you are too deceitful, General Zhang, I will meet him!" ”

Zhang Aimin nodded, "Then there is General Lao Ouyang." General Ouyang, don't fight with the opponent, just repel it, and the rest of the troops will quickly advance towards Gufu and cross the Dacang Mountain! ”

(Guowang Group should be from Minzhou into Jinzhou, and then break into Yizhou to attack Zhang Aimin's department, the first two chapters of my hand slipped, and it was written in Quanzhou, which may have made some careful book friends a little confused, sorry, sorry)
