Chapter 313: Please, Eat Me

Three days later, Helian Jun looked at Chen Shuzhi, who was wearing a certain sheepskin felt hat, and his funny appearance made him laugh.

Uncle Chen gave Helian Jun a blank look, he dared to guarantee that the other party was absolutely deliberate, although this hat was warm, it looked extremely funny, Helian Jun deliberately left this hat to him, it was definitely to satisfy his bad taste!

However, Chen Shuzhi also had to admit that with the materials of the Helian Army, the casualties of their Xuanjia Army were greatly reduced.

Helian Jun had long expected this situation, or rather, the emperor had long expected such a situation. Therefore he brought with him a great more garment, enough to arm an army of 10,000 men. As for why the Rakshasa Army doesn't wear two more to keep warm? That's because, if you wear a few more clothes, I'm afraid they won't even be able to walk.

In the past few days, although the Xuanjia Army and the Rakshasa Army have eaten and lived together, the two teams are clearly distinguished. Helian Jun also knew that it was impossible for the two teams to get along well, and if the two teams didn't cause trouble for him, he would burn high incense.

Compared with this kind of trivial matter, what worries Helian Army more is that after the Xuanjia Army joins, their meat is completely insufficient. Chen Shuzhi also realized this, when they first joined, they could drink broth once a day, but now, they need to drink it once every other day. Of course, what Chen Shuzhi didn't know was that before that, every meal of the Rakshasa Army had broth, and even meat.

When they climbed into the area at the top of the mountain, Chen Shuzhi realized that what Helian Jun said was not an exaggeration at all, and even had reservations. Is the top of the mountain ten times colder than the mountainside? Here, it has reached the point where the water drips into ice. Even if they still had meat, they couldn't cook it, so they had to eat it raw.

Not only that, no matter how thick the clothes on the body are, they can't stop the invasion of ice and snow. The wind and snow seemed to have spirituality, not too big, but it could penetrate the cracks in their clothes precisely, making people feel cold. In less than a day, almost all of them had lost sensation in their hands and feet, and in more serious cases, their hands and feet had festered, and chilblains had grown all over their bodies.

I don't know how many times, everyone just took a simple rest, and some people were so sleepy that they closed their eyes, and after this closure, they never woke up again.

"No one is allowed to sleep!" Helian Jun and Chen Shuzhi ordered together to climb over the top of the mountain, with their speed, it would only take seven or eight days, and with these elite wills, there would not be much time to rest at all. With every rest, their tense nerves relax, and once they fall asleep, it is difficult to wake up. Therefore, they need to do their best to compress everyone's rest time, and even if they do, they can't close their eyes and fall asleep!

However, it's okay not to sleep, but the lack of food, especially meat, is chilling. After two days of walking, their meat had run out, and dry food alone could not ignite the fire in their hearts. Everyone knows that it may be possible to persist without eating for seven or eight days, but in this kind of place, if there is no meat for seven or eight days, there is not enough calories, and they are afraid that they will not be able to persevere.

Whenever the meat enters the mouth, even if it is just cold and hard flesh, the blood and broken bones in it can ignite their wildness in an instant. When the bloodthirsty sensation fills the whole body, they don't feel so cold. And now, their spirits are on the verge of crumbling after losing their flesh.

After another day, they were all walking mechanically, and at some point, their companions would suddenly collapse and never get up again. Helian Jun and Chen Shuzhi had nothing to do about this situation, they could only pray to get out of this snow-capped mountain as soon as possible, but their hearts were also uneasy. Can you climb this snow-capped mountain? The two did not have the slightest confidence, after all, for hundreds of years, all dynasties and countless expeditions wanted to conquer this snow-capped mountain, but none of them succeeded.

Despite their best preparations, will they really succeed?

Compared to the attrition of the soldiers, many of the horses could not hold on. Although they were more hardy than humans, and the Helian Army also customized warm "clothes" for them, some horses still froze to death on the snowfield.

For these horses, what the Rakshasa Army did was bury them on the spot. For these knights, the horses are their true family. Some people are even more affectionate to horses than their wives and children. This is something that no one else can understand. Because the war horses under the seat have been born and died with them, I don't know how many swords I have blocked for them, and I don't know how many reincarnations I have killed for them.

The knight and the war horse were the closest companions, and for many days and nights, they slept in the saddle. No matter how difficult the situation is, as long as the war horses under their crotches are still running, the spears in their hands will not stop.

The so-called "shoot people first and shoot horses first" is not only afraid of the explosive power and impact of the horror of war horses in war. What's more, once the cavalry loses their horses, they will suffer a huge blow in their hearts. How many cavalrymen had to return to the field because they lost their horses? How many people have to change horses because of their horses, and it is difficult to recover from their former peaks?

This kind of emotion, not to mention ordinary people, even the rest of the soldiers don't know much about it. For example, now Helian Jun and Chen Shuzhi's subordinates have caused great friction.

After the horses froze to death, the Xuanjia army tried to eat their flesh countless times in order to regain their few strengths. But he was stopped again and again by the Rakshasa Army. This made the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army very incomprehensible, horses are animals after all, and they are just when they are alive, but after they die, in this case, they see a pile of fine horse meat buried in the ground. This kind of thing is simply incredible, you know, how many soldiers on the verge of death can be saved by such a horse!

It's not that they don't understand the importance of war horses to cavalry, and if they are alive war horses, they will not take the initiative to slaughter them. But since the horses have frozen to death, and you are still at this critical juncture, is your affection more important than the lives of your brothers?

Indeed, in the hearts of the Rakshasa Army, war horses are not just livestock, but also their family and partners. If it were you, would you be able to let your family die, and his body would be eaten by others? Even if that person has reached the point of life and death with unbearable hunger?

From a rational point of view, Helian should have given the order. He also knew that once he gave an order, the Rakshasa Army would not disobey the military order. But he couldn't hold back the soldiers' tears. Even if they didn't shed a single tear in the hard war, they actually cried bitterly at the moment of the death of the war horse
