Not long after Nie Lin returned to the camp tent, the curtain of the camp tent was raised, and the biting cold wind immediately blew in, mixed with snow particles, and Nie Lin couldn't even open his eyes. He raised his hand to cover his face and screamed, "Put down the curtain!

The man who came in hastily lowered the curtain and then carefully secured it again.

Nie Lin took out the fire twister, re-lit the candle that had been blown out, and looked up, it was not someone else who came in, it was his deputy Niu Gao.

"General, the weather is abrupt, the cold is abnormal, and our army has nothing to protect against the cold, how can this be good?" Niu Gao strode to Nie Lin and asked urgently.

Nie Lin didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time, he said calmly: "Let the brothers hold on for one night, and wait until tomorrow morning, our army will attack the city again, this time we will kill the Jin army in the city, and the brothers can live in the city to keep out the cold." ”

Niu Gao's head shook like a rattle, and he said urgently: "I can't wait for tomorrow! General, our military camp tent is insufficient, and many brothers are sleeping outside. ”

Someone froze to death? A flash of astonishment flashed on Nie Lin's face, he was stunned for a moment, and asked, "How many brothers in our army were frozen to death?"

"It's not clear, the snow is so big that even if the brothers are frozen, they will soon be buried by the snow! General, if we wait until tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be only a few people left in our army. Niu Gao said in a row.

Nie Lin clenched his fists and muttered, "Is it impossible to attack the city overnight?"

"That's even worse! The soldiers' armor is frozen like ice, and it takes a lot of effort to move, let alone siege the city!"

"Smack!"

Nie Lin slapped the table heavily and shouted, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Niu Gao." You tell Ben what to do now?"

If Niu Gao had an idea, he didn't have to come over to ask Nie Lin for instructions. He bowed his head and whispered, "The last general doesn't know." ”

"Hmph!" Nie Lin snorted heavily, got dressed, lifted his shoes, and wrapped himself tightly. Shook his head at Niu Gao and said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look!"

Out of the camp tent and outside, Nie Lin shivered several times in a row, the oncoming cold wind blew on his skin, large snowflakes slapped on his face, and the pain was scorching, Nie Lin squinted his eyes, and looked around with enough energy, if he didn't look carefully. He could barely see anyone, and when he looked closely, he saw that his soldiers were hugging each other in groups of three or five, and the snow flakes covered their bodies, making them almost melt into the snow.

At this time, people were numb from the cold, no longer shivering, no longer shivering, and sitting motionless on the ground like ice sculptures. I don't know if it's dead or alive.

Originally, the camp was for wounded soldiers, but now. The wounded soldiers had been dragged out by the cold and crazy soldiers, but they squeezed in, regardless of whether the wounded soldiers were dead or alive outside, but the soldiers who entered the camp tents did not warm up for long, and the north wind blew more and more fiercely, and many of the camps were swept into the air. There was a scream from below.

Seeing his own situation clearly, Nie Lin's heart kept sinking to the bottom until it sank to the bottom.

When the temperature and snow in the Jin Kingdom are not good, why did they rush to the time when their own side was about to break through the city? Victory was in sight, but God did not complete it. Is this an unfinished amount of Jin Guoqi, or is God not helping me?

Nie Lin sighed in his heart, full of flavors.

Niu Gao is right, in this kind of weather, you can't attack the city, and with your current materials, you can't keep out the cold, you can't fight, you can't stay, and now there is only one way to go, retreat. You can only withdraw to Liancheng first, and then make plans.

Nie Lin has always been fierce in leading his army to fight, only knowing how to advance, not retreating, but now, the weather has forced him to choose to retreat.

In fact, the Jin country did not change the sky suddenly, the temperature was suddenly cold, and the sky was snowing, which was already foreshadowed. For several days, the weather in the central part of the country has always been gloomy, even in broad daylight, the sky is gray, and the sun cannot be seen.

Xiao Xuan had already foreseen this, so he dared to assert that You Jun couldn't stand the cold and could only retreat.

The result really made him calculate correctly, this night was like a nightmare in hell for You Jun.

Nie Lin ordered a retreat, but many soldiers sat on the ground and didn't get up at all, thinking that they hadn't heard the order, someone stepped forward and pushed hard, trying to wake them up, but this push, the soldiers who were hugging each other fell to the ground one after another, people's faces were bloodless, and covered with a layer of frost, but the strange thing was that the corners of their mouths were raised, and they looked like they were smiling.

This is the sign of being frozen to death, due to the cold, the muscles of the person's face atrophy, causing the corners of the mouth to rise, as if smiling, in fact, having lost his breath.

A large number of You soldiers stopped breathing forever in the frozen condition, and never stood up again, including both ordinary soldiers and advanced cultivators, no matter how deep the cultivation of the warriors is, no matter how strong the armor they wear, they can block swords and guns, but they can't block the cold.

In the attack on Hecheng, about 10,000 soldiers were killed in the You army, but after half a night, no less than 20,000 You troops were frozen to death, most of whom were wounded soldiers.

Of the 80,000 You army, only 50,000 were left when they retreated, and even so, during the retreat, from time to time someone fell to the ground, and then was covered with snowflakes.

The retreat of the You army, there was no enemy to chase and kill, but it was extremely miserable, they walked together, died together, and countless soldiers of the You army fell in the snow and never got up.

In cold weather, people react more slowly, and that's true.

Nie Lin retreated in the direction of Liancheng, and he didn't think that when he led the army to leave Liancheng, he had already burned it down, and now only the remnants of bricks and tiles remain, even if he arrived in Liancheng, how could he keep out the cold?

But then again, after You Jun deposited gold, he entered a state of loss of control, robbed after killing, burned after robbing, and along the way, the towns they passed through were burned by them, and they couldn't find a place to keep out the cold. This can be regarded as the grave that You Jun dug for himself.

At the same time, the Hecheng side also found signs of retreat of the You army.

Jin country is a cold place, Jin people have long been accustomed to the cold weather, and the preparation is very sufficient, when the temperature plummeted, the Jin army soldiers received the matching cotton clothes and cotton pants and cotton boots for the first time, but even so, the soldiers defending the city were still shivering from the cold, and kept walking around the city.

The sentry post of the Jin army was the first to show the movement of the You army, and did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly ran down the city tower and reported the news to the city.

Soon, the news reached Tai Shuhong, and suddenly heard the news of the enemy's retreat, Tai Shuhong turned over, sat up directly from the bed, his face was not sleepy, and asked the guards who came in: "Is this true?"

The guard replied: "Hui Xiangye, it is the soldiers who are keeping vigil at the head of the city have appeared." ”

That shouldn't be wrong, no one dares to report this kind of thing! Uncle Tai Hong is puzzled, how could You Jun retreat?

He asked as he got dressed, "What happened to You Jun?"

The guard shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but in the middle of the night, it suddenly snowed heavily, did You Jun retreat because of this?"

"Oh?" Tai Shuhong put on his clothes as quickly as possible, pushed open the door, and strode out of the room.

He came out of the river quickly, and came back faster, and was blown back by the cold wind outside. At this time, he was only wearing a single coat, and he didn't expect the wind outside to be so strong and bitterly cold.

Returning to the room, Uncle Tai Hong said repeatedly: "Quick! Go and find a cotton coat for Benxiang!"

"Yes!" the guard agreed, and walked away quickly.

Uncle Tai Hong calmed down, thought about it carefully, and understood the reason for You Jun's retreat.

You must not have adapted to the sudden change in the weather, and did not make sufficient preparations for the cold, so the whole army could not endure the cold, so they had no choice but to retreat.

Thinking of this, Tai Shuhong also understood why Xiao Xuan swore last night that You Jun would definitely retreat, it turned out that he had already judged that there would be a drop in temperature and snow tonight, and he also judged that You Jun was not enough to prevent the cold.

Uncle Tai Hong stomped his feet, he knew that this was the case, he should really listen to Xiao Xuan's words, prepare the cavalry as soon as possible, and go out of the city to chase and kill You Jun!

While he was walking back and forth in a hurry, the guards came back, and at the same time brought a set of clean cotton clothes, which the uncle changed quickly, and then wrapped up in a big coat, and walked out of the residence quickly under the protection of a guard.

As soon as Taishu Hong came out, he saw Xiao Xuan and Mu Wu coming towards him. (To be continued......)
