Chapter 4: Stories in the Murals

From the entrance to the tomb, a general is depicted leading his troops through the mountains to a small city surrounded by a valley. Then, he ordered the siege of the city, but it was met with stubborn resistance from the officers and soldiers in the city and the people, and it was not possible to break through for a while.

These soldiers from afar really underestimated Lin'an City, first of all, the abnormal climate, those delicate southern soldiers had been frostbitten and frozen to death before they arrived at Lin'an City, and when they got the city, the iron hook barbs on the city wall made those soldiers unable to start at all, and the defenders who had long been adapted to the climate here had to repel the southern soldiers who wanted to break through the city gate.

At night, the imperial army camped outside, leaving hundreds of frozen corpses in their sleep every day when the sun rose, and the defenders of the city used this night to pour cold water on the city wall, and a layer of ice armor formed on the wall of Lin'an City overnight, and the besieging army had nowhere to help.

It was at this time that a heavy snowfall suddenly fell in Lin'an City.

Lin'an already has the name of Frost City, and there are snowflakes all year round, but compared with the heavy snow at that time, it is not worth mentioning at all, and the description of that heavy snow can only be described in four words - covering the sky and covering the sun!

No one dares to venture out of their shelter, either inside or outside the city, and once someone gets out of the house, they probably won't ever return...... This heavy snowfall, which is rare in a century, has been falling for seven days and seven nights.

The weather is so cold that it seems that even the stove in the house can be covered with a layer of frost, people warm the kang head, and the family gathers together, but even so, the number of people who are frostbitten and freeze to death every day is still only increasing. The city is such a scene, maybe a room of people on the wall has frozen to death, but the next door is still cooking and sleeping next to the corpses of the dead, and the whole Lin'an City seems to have become a frosty hell.

On the third day after the heavy snowfall, the general defending the city climbed the city wall surrounded by guards, and at a glance, the thousands of lions that were originally besieged under the city had already been submerged under the snow, and the whole army was exhausted!

Lin'an City won the first battle without a single soldier, but they were not happy for long, that is, in the second year, the young general set out again with his army, and was bound to capture Lin'an City. Lin'an City is located in a bitter cold place, and the general came to Lin'an City with his army, but he was not in a hurry to attack the city, and his face showed a trace of hesitation.

The general's troops began to disperse the other cities around the city, cutting off all the main routes of communication and completely isolating the entire city, and perhaps this was not enough, they also used barbed wooden fences around the perimeter of the city walls, with the sole purpose of making the people of the city never come out again.

Since the people in the city don't want to come out, then there is no need for them to come out again.

Lin'an City is a mountain city, and in such a cold and frozen territory, there are basically no crops that can survive. The people in the mountains rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, go to hunt some rabbits and wolves on weekdays, and then strip the furs and barter with foreign merchants, and the reason why Lin'an City is prosperous is only because of the little gold mine stored in the mountains. Now the city gate is opened, and all the people in Lin'an City are nailed into coffins, and these impregnable thick walls are their best tombs.

At first, the people were not nervous, and they thought that as long as the army did not enter the city, they could save their lives, and they were quite complacent, but in reality, the result was more cruel than the massacre after the army entered the city.
