The scene of 400,000 captives lining up to devour the sky pocket is quite spectacular, and the speed is also very fast, with Fu Cha personally staring at it with soldiers and horses, but there is no thorn who is not afraid of death jumping out to find death.

When they are in the Sky Swallowing Pocket, then even if there is no one to supervise them, these captives will not dare to make any more trouble, because they will soon find that their little strength is not enough to make any big waves, and the result of trying to do things is a dead end.

When the captives completely entered the Sky Swallowing Pocket, Xia Fan did not close the Sky Swallowing Pocket, because there were many demons who brought it.

It's just that compared to the neat and orderly captives just now, these demons just brought in are much more chaotic.

Among them, there are men and women, old and young, and the vast majority of them are ordinary people with little training, and the number of them together is less than two or three hundred thousand, and the adults shout and the children cry, which seems to be very noisy.

However, Fu Cha and the 10,000 soldiers he had brought out to maintain order couldn't help but have red eyes when they saw these people.

Although the demons are quite wild many times, they are also very fierce and brutal when fighting, and they don't even take their own lives seriously in order to be able to win. But they are not without feelings.

The reason why these generals are so out of shape is because there are families among these civilians who arrived at this time.

It's just that they haven't forgotten that they are on a mission outside, even if they can see their families, they don't dare to rush over to recognize each other, otherwise, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die under the harsh military punishment.

"Fu Cha, I promised you to do what I said, you can bring back the relatives of your comrades, settle down as soon as possible, don't make any trouble, otherwise I will only ask you. Xia Fan pointed at Fu Chadao.

"Yes. Fu Cha respectfully saluted Xia Fan and said, "The demon general thanked the lord for his great favor on behalf of all the generals. ”

"It's just a good fight in the future, go ahead. Xia Fan waved his hand.

Fu Cha saluted again, and then left with excitement on his face. Because he also saw his own family.

"That's why I don't dare to give you any more prisoners. Yu Kong Yue smiled bitterly: "If it's only 500,000 captives, it's nothing, as long as the Eastern Demon Capital can be stabilized, it won't take three or five years to recuperate, and you can recruit a million or more soldiers again." ”

"But you're going to take away even their families, and in this way, you'll take away at least nearly two million demons. Speaking of this, Yu Kongyue sighed and said, "Without these two million demons, the loss for the Eastern Demon Realm is far greater than the loss of 500,000 captives. ”

"I understand. Xia Fan said: "I'm embarrassing you, I promise not to make an example." ”

"It's good that you understand. Yu Kongyue glanced at Xia Fan, but didn't say anything more.

Since she decided to hand over the person to Xia Fan, she naturally would not regret it, saying these words was just a small complaint to Xia Fan, in order to let Xia Fan know that it was not easy for her.

Xia Fan naturally wanted to thank him, and promised that he would come back when the battle at Tongtian Pass was over.

Yu Kongyue is not a clingy woman, and at the same time, even the battle of Tongtian Pass is very important to Xia Fan, so naturally he will not keep him too much, but just tell him to be careful in everything and send him away.

With a flash of light, the Sky Swallowing Pocket shuttled through the void again, and when it reappeared, it was still Xia Fan's residence in the Tongtian Gan General's Mansion.

When Xia Fan removed the prohibition outside, he saw Xia Xue waiting outside, with a little excitement and a little anxiety on his face.

"You're out of the country. Xia Xue was immediately relieved when she saw Xia Fan.

"What's the matter?!Could it be that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom sent troops to attack and clear the Heavenly Pass?!" Xia Fan asked casually, and without waiting for Xia Xue to answer, he already knew the answer with a sweep of his divine thoughts.

Everything was as usual in Tongtianguan, and there was no appearance of a battle.

"Of course not. Xia Xue shook her head and said, "It's just that there are more and more troops in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom on the other side, and it is estimated that the start will be in these few days." Oh, by the way, there's information for you I think you should know. ”

"What's the matter?" Xia Fan looked at Xia Xue. The information that she can deliberately bring up must not be a trivial matter.

"There are still three days before the emperor ascends the throne, but just last night, the mission sent by the Great Sun Demon Kingdom to the capital to watch the ceremony was attacked by murderers of unknown origin, so that all of them died, and in addition to the chief and deputy envoys, it is said that there is also a prince. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Xue said: "For this matter, the Great Han Dynasty was shocked, and the decent people stepped up the investigation of the murderer, and the envoys of various countries also expressed regret, but the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was very angry, and the wording was very fierce to urge the Great Han Dynasty to give an explanation." ”

"I didn't expect that this time the Great Sun Demon Kingdom would be so willing to give up. Xia Fan said with a smile: "In order to find an excuse to use force, I was willing to take the life of a prince." ”

"Do you mean that the destruction of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom's mission this time was made up and sung by themselves, in order to rely on the Great Han Dynasty?" Xia Xue said in surprise.

"It doesn't have to be the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, maybe it's the Heavenly Rain Empire. Xia Fan said: "I said that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom was willing to give up this time, because when the envoy from the Great Sun Demon Kingdom came to the Great Han Dynasty, it was already destined to have no return. ”

Xia Fan looked at Xia Xue, who was frowning and pondering, and said: "It doesn't really matter who did it, the important thing is that the people in the mission are dead, so that the Great Sun Demon Kingdom has a reason to start a war." ”

"Listening to what you say, the Heavenly Rain Empire does have the possibility of doing it. "Summer Snow Road.

"Of course, kill the envoys of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, and then provoke a war between the Great Sun Demon Kingdom and the Great Han Dynasty, and then they can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, this is a profitable business, and anyone will start it. Xia Fan sneered.

"Looks like we're going to have to be ready for war. "Summer Snow Road.

"There's no need to be in a hurry. Xia Fan said and looked at the sky: "I think the weather is bad today, and it may snow at night, so remind the defenders at the head of the city to remember to wear more clothes to avoid frostbite." ”

"It's snowing, you're not kidding. Xia Xue looked at the sky outside and looked surprised.

"There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky. Xia Fan said with a smile.

That night, Tongtianguan ushered in a blizzard.

It's just that although the snow covered a radius of thousands of miles, almost all of it fell outside the Tongtian Pass. The snow that actually fell in the Tongtian Pass was only a thin layer.

However, outside the Tongtian Pass, which is only separated by a city wall, the snow is already thirty feet deep.

So much so that when the defenders, shivering from the cold in the morning, went up to the city and looked outside, they were shocked to think that they had not seen each other overnight, and the city wall was a lot shorter.

In fact, compared to the defenders of Tongtian Pass, who just felt a little cold, the really unlucky thing was the Great Sun Demon Country military camp at the other end of the gap passage.

Because that is the hardest hit area by the blizzard, the depth of the snow reaches an average of 40 zhang, and the highest point even reaches 55 zhang.

It didn't look like it was snowing anymore, it was like a snowy mountain had been scattered and scattered here. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to play so much anyway.

Under such a blizzard, the military camp of the demon race no longer exists, even since the snow, the soldiers of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom have been cleaning, but in the face of the blizzard that is getting bigger and bigger, as if to bury the heavens and the earth, in the end they can only cry out in vain.

In the middle of the night, not long after the generals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom withdrew from the barracks, the barracks were completely crushed by the snow, and then buried by the snow, and now, even if the Great Sun Demon Kingdom wanted to dig out the military camp from under the snow, it was impossible.

It is conceivable that the current army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom must be crying without tears.

Because they have been here for a long time, and have been preparing for the subsequent attack on the Tianguan and then the invasion of the western frontier, the military camp has hoarded a large amount of grain and grass, ordnance, military salaries, siege equipment, and so on.

Originally, these things were enough to support the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom of more than 500,000 for about half a month. But now, because of this sudden blizzard, he was completely buried under forty or fifty feet of snow.

It's definitely quite difficult to dig them out. And what made the generals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom even more unhappy was how to solve the problem of food and grass for so many soldiers and horses.

This time, the people who were ordered to attack and clear the Tianguan were all the elite troops of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, but no matter how brave and good they were, it was impossible not to eat.

After all, although the soldiers of the army cultivate, the purpose is not to live forever but to improve their combat power, so unless they are particularly powerful generals, it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to open the valley.

Even if these soldiers could go without food, it was impossible for their mounts to go without forage.

If the problem of food and grass cannot be solved, let alone conquering the Tianguan, it will be difficult to maintain the morale of the army.

Besides, if you want to break through the Tianguan now, it is also quite difficult, the reason is very simple, it is still snow.

Although it is not a problem for these elites of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom to climb on the snow at a height of forty-five zhang to march and fight, the snow is too soft and too deep, which will definitely affect the speed of the army's march.

Especially in battle, if there is soft snow under your feet, it will definitely be quite inconvenient to gallop and jump.

In addition, the generals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom are not fools. They intend to attack the Tianguan, and naturally have a deep understanding of the terrain and environment here, of course, they know that although there are thunder and lightning bombardment here all year round, there is rarely rain and snow.

But now that such a blizzard has come coldly, as long as there is nothing wrong with the head, it is easy to guess that there must be a conspiracy behind this matter.

If they really sent troops to attack and clear the Heavenly Pass, would they fall into the enemy's trap? This is a question that all the generals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom have to seriously consider.

"Did you do this?" Xia Xue got up early in the morning and saw the snow outside the city wall that was more than 30 zhang deep, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded, and Xia Fan's words yesterday naturally guessed that this matter must be related to him.
