This time the weight of dozens of catties was reduced, and it was easy for the comrades to pull it again. A few people pulled him up as soon as they made a few efforts.

Two men carried him, and everyone continued to cross the river.

After crossing the river, Chen Mu ordered to set up a tent immediately and let the soldiers in the river go in to warm up. The other soldiers packed up their things and sent scouts to scout the surrounding area.

Chen Mu found a soldier with herbs, took out the recipe to ward off the cold, took a small pot to decoction the medicine, and watched it himself.

As soon as the soldier who fell into the river changed his clothes, he saw Chen Mu coming in, and he wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Chen Mu.

"Lie down and rest, it's an order."

"Yes!"

The soldier's eyes were full of emotion, and he immediately lay back on the bed.

Chen Mu asked someone to bring ginger again, and set up another pot next to it to boil ginger water.

"After a while, drink herbs to ward off the cold, then drink ginger water, and then roast the fire when you have eased up."

When Chen Mu did these things, Urila followed by him, and they all watched it.

He didn't understand, why did Chen Mu, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, decoct the medicine himself? Just for an ordinary soldier, a soldier in the reserve, a soldier with a burden on his back, busy work inside and outside the house.

He asked questions, and Chen Mu replied: "None of the other soldiers have studied medicine, only I have studied in the capital, so of course I have to watch the decoction." ”

Urila: "But...... He ......"

It was inconvenient for him to speak, but Chen Mu understood.

"You want to say he's just an ordinary soldier, right?"

Urila nodded awkwardly.

Chen Mu smiled and said, "You are wrong, he is my brother." Now that my brother is in trouble, of course everyone has to help him. ”

Urila's eyes widened, he never expected that Chen Mu, as the powerful prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, would actually call a low-status soldier a brother.

This is something he has never seen in the Xiongnu and Donghu, and he has never heard of anyone in Daxia doing this.

"Brother...... Brothers? ”

Chen Mu nodded, "My life is protected by them, and their direction is guided by me, isn't this a brother?" ”

Urila was silent.

And the soldier, lying on the bed, quietly shed tears.

……

After a while, this soldier regained his mobility under the careful care of Chen Mu and others.

The scout also returned, saying that no one had been found around.

Chen Mu ordered to advance along the river, and after half a day, set up camp again.

After walking like this for two days, Chen Mu finally saw the first wisp of human smoke after entering the ice field.

In the distance, by the river, a few people set up firewood and roasted something. When I walked in, it turned out to be grilling fish.

Chen Mu led people forward and asked Urila to come over for questioning.

A few fishermen calmly replied, pointing to the ice not far away. Chen Mu noticed that there was a hole the size of a water tank on the ice.

Urila asked a few words and returned.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, they are fishermen who live nearby, and they are here to dig ice and fish."

Chen Mu nodded, "You tell them that we are the Great Xia army, and we are here to negotiate with the Rakshasa Kingdom, hoping that they can become the subject of Great Xia, pay tribute every year, and be vassals every year." ”

Urila's eyes widened, and now that the Rakshasa Kingdom didn't know that the Great Xia army was coming, why didn't they sneak attack?

Tell them that they are not prepared?

Seeing this, Chen Mu said again: "You heard it right, go quickly." ”

Urila stubbornly relayed that the fishermen were furious and clamored to go back and report the news, so that the warriors of the Rakshasa Kingdom could kill them all.

Urila came back to relay, but Chen Mu seemed calm.

"Alright, let's move on."

Chen Mu understands very well that what he needs is not a sneak attack, what he needs is to subdue the Rakshasa Kingdom. Only in this way will the Rakshasa Kingdom be willing to be a subject country.

Urila is also a talent, he can speak Daxia and Xiongnu, and can communicate with the Donghu people and the Rakshasa people.

This is because the Rakshasa language and the Xiongnu language have the same origin and can be easily communicated. The same is true for the Donghu languages, which all spread from one region and gradually evolved into different countries and alliances.

Urila used to live on the border between the Xiongnu and Donghu, knew a small tribe in Donghu, and also knew the location of the nearest Rakshasa town to the Xiongnu.

But that place was too far away, and Chen Mu deduced that there should be a town near the river.

Now Chen Mujun's target is this town. This town was named Hedong Town by Chen Mu, and the closest to the Xiongnu was Hexi Town.

The next morning, Chen Mujun came to Hedong Town.

Chen Mu ordered the whole army to camp 20 miles away, and then ascended to the high ground to observe the town.

The town of Hedong has a castle, and the material used can be adobe, but in this cold area, the surface of the city wall has a layer of crystal clear ice crystals.

This is supposed to be a wall made of frozen earth.

These walls are very strong. If this kind of material was piled up behind the city gate, Chen Mu would really not be able to open the city gate.

But fortunately, Chen Mu can still defeat the enemy in the city.

After being optimistic, Chen Mu ordered to build siege equipment, and there was no need to rush the car, only the catapult and the well were needed.

When Chen Mu was observing Hedong Town, the Rakshasa people in the city were also looking at him.

There was a Rakshasa general wearing a very high fur hat, pointing at Chen Mujun and babbling something. The general with a relatively small hat next to him nodded frequently.

Chen Mujun only finished cutting wood on the first day, and before he started to build siege equipment, it was dark. Chen Mujun began to rest, leaving some people to keep vigil, and the rest of the people went back to sleep in the cotton tent.

On the periphery of the camp, there are also fortifications such as horse rejection, so there should be no problem.

In the blink of an eye, on the third watch, a night watchman noticed signs of enemy troops in the distance, and immediately beat the drum around him.

Chen Mu woke up in a flash.

"Do they really dare to come to rob the camp, do you think we will be afraid of the cold?"

As he spoke, Chen Mu put on a down jacket and down pants, put on his battle armor, picked up his weapon and walked out of the camp.

"How's it going?"

The captain of the guard replied: "The night vigil force has already engaged the enemy army, and at the moment there is only an enemy in the west. ”

Chen Mu nodded, "Pass the order, concentrate on the western camp, shrink the defense of the whole army in other directions, let the outer ring of the camp out, if there is an enemy in other directions, defend in place, don't go out of the camp." ”

"Yes!"

The captain of the guard went to give the order, and Chen Mu led people to Xiying.

The direction of Xiying is already in flames, and it seems that there are already a lot of Rakshasa troops killed in. But Chen Mu was not worried, because he believed in the invincible flying army and the Wudang flying army under his command.

They are all the best in the world!

Moreover, the night watch troops are fully equipped, and they are not in a state of being attacked by sneak attacks, but are ready to go.

Sure enough, when Chen Mu arrived at Xiying, he saw a battle of equal strength.
