Zheng Fan knew that Ah Ming was right, and at the moment, he had no choice.

Tian Wujing is indeed good to himself, and he does appreciate himself, but you must know that Tian Wujing is a Marquis of Dayan who can bury his family with his own hands for the country.

If you know that you have hit the snow customs, and then pat your ass and leave directly, after the war, you will be the first to lose your head.

You can't even come up with an excuse to explain why you don't stick to the snow customs;

In the entire land of Sanjin, strictly speaking, there are only two places where you can enter and exit with the snow field.

One place is his own Shengle, but from there, even if it is a light car, it will take at least twenty days, if the army enters and leaves, bring a little more things, and the rest of the month is at least.

The other place is this snow customs, as long as you can pass the snow customs, from Jindi to the snow field, it is a horse and a flat river.

At present, the battle situation is on the front line of Wangjiang, and the soldiers and horses of Yan and Cheng are facing off against the armies of the savages and the Chu people, unless the savages can break through the Wangjiang River and kill Shengle at the same time, and then spend a long, long time from there to detour back to the snow field......

In fact, this one is basically impossible, one is that the road is extremely long, and the other is equivalent to letting the savages not only break through the defense line of the Yancheng coalition army west of Wangjiang, but also break through Yingdu, and finally break through the defense line of Shengle City in Xinsu City, in total, three have to be broken.

If the savages really have the ability to break these three lines of defense and return to the snowfield, they can directly "recover" the land of Sanjin.

Therefore, as long as you get stuck in the snow customs, then the army of savages who entered the customs this time will be trapped here, a super-large version of "catching turtles in the urn".

Even a military novice knows the benefits of holding here, and at the same time, what excuse do you use to explain to Jing Nanhou the reason why I don't stick to it, Jing Nanhou is such a foolish person?

You can't even call yourself stupid,

Because General Zheng is the "proud apprentice" of Jingnan Hou!

So

I really didn't have a choice.

"I said, why didn't you remind me earlier?" Zheng Fan looked at Ah Ming.

Ah Ming drank a mouthful of blood and said:

"Lord, that zombie may have been planning to do so a long time ago."

There is another sentence, Ah Ming didn't say it, because he felt that Liang Cheng himself was getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket.

Before the snow customs, the lord may take care of his own family background and be reluctant to fight, but once the snow customs are laid, you have to fight if you don't fight, and the raw rice is cooked and cooked, admit it.

It is when these words are said that the feeling of applying eye medicine is too obvious.

Zheng Fan suddenly remembered what he said to Liang Cheng that night on the upper floor of Fengxin City, you do it boldly, it doesn't matter if the family foundation is gone.

Result: Liang Cheng,

You're really welcome!

"I'm a little dizzy." Zheng Fan stroked his forehead.

"Anemia?"

Ah Ming leaned the wine in front of Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan rolled his eyes at Ah Ming,

Both hands slapped the battlements fiercely,

Road:

"Play, the days are over, have fun, mom!"

……

Liang Cheng has been very busy these days, on the one hand, it is true that there are a lot of things that he needs to do in the newly laid snow customs, and on the other hand, he may not dare to meet his master at this time.

Originally, the owner gave you the money that he had saved up to do financial management, and then the layman pretended to be an insider, as long as it was higher than the regular interest rate, you could run inflation, but you turned around and went to add leverage to others.

However, there is one thing to say, there are really a lot of things that need to be busy.

First of all, it is these big holes in the wall south of the snow customs, which have to be repaired, at this time, it is too late to rebuild the wall, so he can only demolish the house in the city to find materials to fill it in first.

Fortunately, it is now winter, and it is close to the snowfield, and after the city wall is repaired, it may still be not very strong and it will be drenched at night to make it freeze, but it is almost barely enough, so don't let the wild people just sit on horseback and rush in like when they entered the city on their side.

In the Snow Customs, there are two tribes that are about to transport slaves to the snow field, the population is about 8,000, because the selection of slaves is stricter, so they are basically young and middle-aged men and women, and the ratio of men to women is close to one to one.

Men can go back to the snowfields as their slaves to herd for them, and women are responsible for giving birth to children for them and reproducing the population.

The men, both men and women, were all required to join the construction team, and the men were also given simple weapons and some armor, which they were naturally to use as auxiliaries when defending the city.

All beings are equal under the sword and gun,

Even if you haven't held a sword before, even if you're facing a savage warrior, if you go up and stab him when he first climbs the wall, he'll die, or push his ladder out of the way, and he'll be crippled.

The worst thing is that there are more people on the city wall, and you can also help the regular army eat arrows, right?

In addition, it is not surprising that the savages want to destroy the city wall of the Snow Customs, this transshipment speed is indeed too restricted, but it is also because of this that there is still a lot of grain stored in the Snow Customs that has not had time to be transported into the snow field.

The defenders of the city are often most afraid of the lack of food, at least for now, there is no need to worry about the problem of food.

Liang Cheng also specially arranged for a group of people to go to the forest south of the Snow Pass to cut down trees, cut down a piece and transport it back, and then let people set fire to the forest further outskirts.

The so-called strong wall and clear wilderness, in fact, also contains this meaning, normal times are fine, but the real battle often breaks out around the fortified city, always bare, such a dense forest, isn't it left for the besieging party to take it on the spot?

In the past, the Situ family's power had already extended beyond the Snow Customs and built cities on the snow field, so naturally no one took care of the defense in the south, and it had to be cleaned up as much as possible at this time.

There is a very regrettable thing, that is, Liang Cheng personally inspected the arsenal in the Snow Customs, which should have stored a large number of ordnance, but it is estimated that these things have been taken by the savages long ago after the savages broke through the customs, and there is really nothing left.

Xue San led some people to start making some equipment for defending the city, simple towers, slap poles, wooden shields, fences, and so on.

The fortifications outside the city were too late to dig, and even if there was a good design, there was no time to do it, but Liang Cheng still had people build an earthen wall in front of the south gate.

In short, there is a shortage of everything in this city except food, and it is difficult to make up for it in a short period of time.

In the past, it was a waste to defend the city with cavalry, but when the opposite side was also a cavalry-based wild man, it was indeed a perfect thing to defend the city.

The Yan people are notoriously bad at attacking cities, and the Shengle Army may be better than the ordinary Yan Army, but the Savages, there are not many cities on the snow field, so you let them know how to attack the city?

Therefore, after considering several aspects, it is more cost-effective to rely on the city wall defense and it can be more durable.

Inside and outside the Snow Customs, everyone is busy without sleep or food, and only General Zheng is alone, who can be idle.

However, there are also prerequisites for idleness, and General Zheng has to spend some time every day to go around a fixed number of points to boost morale, which can be said to really play the role of his mascot.

On the third day, the vanguard army led by Jin Shuke and the eldest prince returned, and the other two vanguard armies of one hundred horsemen each who were responsible for the auxiliary did not return, and it is estimated that they will not return.

Without their sacrifices, without their suspicions, it is almost impossible for the main force to jump out and sneak attack and take the snow customs.

Unfortunately, the great prince is indeed hard-hitting.

finally

On the fifth day,

Outside the snow customs, the figure of a savage sentry appeared.

After receiving the news, the soldiers and civilians who had been busy for five days were finally able to rest, and those who had been cutting trees and burning forests outside also returned to the city.

And as the first batch of 10,000 households to rush to the snow customs - Li Muer,

After seeing the Dayan Black Dragon Flag and the "Zheng" flag hanging on the upper floor of the Snow Customs City, his whole face was completely distorted by anger.

His department was originally responsible for guarding the snow customs, but because of the call of Gerim, he led the main force of the department to go out to help encircle and suppress the Yan people, and when the encirclement and suppression failed and did not find the Yan people, he instinctively noticed that something was wrong, so he led his troops to hurry back, who knew that it was now the city head of the changing king flag!

Li Mu'er gritted his teeth, and endured it so that he did not give the order to directly attack the city, he was very emotional now, because he knew what it meant for the Snow Customs to fall into the hands of the Yan people, whether it was from the actual military situation or from the perspective of the military heart of the army on the front line, it was an unforgivable mistake for him to lose the Snow Customs.

But he didn't completely faint, the hole that was originally broken in the southern wall of the Snow Pass was blocked at this time, and these warriors under his command had just returned from galloping with him day and night, and they were already extremely tired, so they couldn't let them attack the city now, and they didn't even attack the city with a cloud ladder!

Eventually, Li Mu'er gave the order to set up camp, on the one hand, he needed to let his warriors rest and recover, and on the other hand, several other commanders would also arrive in the next day or two.

Now that the snow customs have been lost, everyone has to work together to get it back, and he naturally has the responsibility, but he Gerim called on him to transfer troops out, and he Gerim is not responsible?

……

It's night,

The south gate of the snow customs was quietly opened, and a cavalry team of 800 people came out of the city, at this time, the role of the wall at the city gate was revealed, and on the periphery, there must have been some sentry horses of savages staring at this movement, but because it was night, there was no moon today, and the blocking of this wall, so that the small group of cavalry out of the city could be carried out "quietly".

This small force of cavalry can be said to condense the main essence of the Yan army in the Snow Customs.

General Zheng Fan is inside, the main commander Liang Cheng is also inside, Xue San, A Ming and Fan Li are also inside.

If this small group of cavalry is surrounded and annihilated by savages, then this snow pass, not to mention being directly breached, will definitely be in chaos in an instant.

Because then it's not like the dragons are leaderless, and they don't even have claws.

Under the cover of night, the cavalry first marched along the city wall, and only after leaving a certain distance did they ride out, and in an instant, they left the city wall.

When they came to the outskirts of the chestnut camp, the big guy stopped again.

Zheng Fan once again saw Liang Cheng's understanding of war, maybe in Zheng Fan's opinion, to defend the city, just defend it honestly, but Liang Cheng actually predicted in advance that the first wave of savage soldiers and horses who came here would camp at night, and let Xue San bury some ointment and ignition in advance near here.

These details were planned when Liang Cheng sent people to burn and cut down the forest, and a "parking space" was specially reserved for the advance soldiers and horses of the savages.

"Everyone, take the torches, wrap yourself, come, quickly."

The knights began to get busy.

Xue San even personally applied the ointment to Fan Li's big iron can, and asked while applying:

"Ali, are you wearing the golden silk dress that Siniang knitted for us?"

"Dressed up."

"Cheng, that thing can be used as a fireproof, it shouldn't be a big problem, in case it burns there, I still have ointment there."

"Okay."

forthwith

Xue San nodded to Zheng Fan and said:

"Lord, you're ready."

Zheng Fan immediately looked at Liang Cheng habitually, it was okay to hold a speech before the war to beat chicken blood, and General Zheng didn't dare to talk about the specific deployment before the war.

Liang Cheng immediately said to the surrounding knights:

"According to the Lord's command, after everyone rushed in, first set fire to their tents, because there was not enough wood around their camp, so there was no fence around them, and it was easy to rush in, but remember, after the first round of rushing in, they just lit a fire, and if they lost the torches in their hands, they immediately withdrew for me, and after regrouping in the direction of due north, and after regrouping, we will rush him together for the second round, and when the second round of rushing, we must rush through his camp!

Remember, you're all the best I brought out, and they're ........."

"Ahem........."

Ah Ming on the side began to cough.

Liang Cheng immediately said:

"You are the elite brought out by General Zheng, and they are savages, don't look at how well they learn, but when the fire is together, it will be a mess immediately.

Don't pay too much attention to them, don't look down on yourself too much, in the eyes of General Zheng, you are no worse than those Dayan elites of the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army!

In this battle, our army will win! ”

Immediately, Liang Cheng looked at Zheng Fan and said:

"Lord, we can start lighting the fire."

Zheng Fan nodded,

took out a small iron box from the armor on his chest,

Take a cigarette out of it, put it in your mouth and bite it.

Then take out the fire fold,

Light the cigarette from your mouth first,

They then handed the torch down and told them to start lighting the torch.

Fan Li directly ignited the big iron cans on his body,

Instantly became a burning tower,

Zheng Fan took a puff of cigarette,

and silently slowly squirted out of the nose,

Finger with cigarette,

calmly shook off the soot,

Leaning forward slightly,

Followed by

Pointing with a cigarette in his hand, he pointed to the savage camp in front of him,

It's peaceful and authentic:

"Kill."

Time

Torches held high,

Horseshoe thunder!
