A thousand soldiers quickly moved into action, went to the Ye Mansion and got a water pipe mainly made of bamboo, and connected it to the wells near the city wall, and ten strong men were arranged next to each well to guard it, acting as a humanoid pressurizer.

"What is this?" These strong men looked at the strange thing on the ground and couldn't help but mutter.

"Shut up! Put away your curiosity and be careful of losing your life. One of the guards scolded in a low voice.

Long pipes were pulled up the wall, and with the help of manpower, the well water flowed through the long bamboo pipes, rushed up the wall, and flowed slowly down the wall.

The cold well water moistened the black walls, and at temperatures of minus a few degrees, the well water slowly condensed into a thin layer of ice that adhered to the walls.

"It really works!"

The soldier gently scraped the wall with his fingers, looked at the ice on his fingertips, and shouted in surprise.

The surrounding soldiers all gathered around, and they were amazed.

"Come to a dozen floors, I'll see how those grassland soldiers climb up!" A soldier said excitedly.

"Quick, hurry up and get to work!" The squad leader urged: "Give those steppe soldiers a surprise." ”

At this time, in the grassland tent, Qi Yanzhuo sat on the main seat, his face was extremely gloomy, the five generals sat below, no one dared to speak easily, and the atmosphere in the big tent was suffocating.

"Your Highness, the remaining grain and grass have been counted, and it can only last for seven days at most."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Balu said stubbornly, his body was still bandaged, and his face was slightly pale.

"Waste, waste, waste!"

Qi Yanzhuo thought that the grain and grass had been burned clean, and angrily kicked the table in front of him out.

"Your Highness is angry, the methods they use are too vicious, we can't prevent it, the urgent thing is what should we do? Whether to go back or fight, and General Bart is still in the hands of the Mo family's army. Balu said tremblingly.

"Just go back like that? Absolutely not! ”

Without thinking about it, Qi Yanzhuo directly rejected the suggestion to go back directly.

If he went back like this, he would think about what kind of ridicule he would receive on his toes, and his two brothers would definitely take this opportunity to suppress him fiercely.

After all, who would believe that the grain and grass were burned by birds? They will only think it is an excuse.

"Prepare to prepare, raid Mocheng in the early morning, this time the whole army is on! If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! Qi Yanzhuo said fiercely.

"As for Bart, if Mocheng breaks, he will be rescued, if it doesn't work......"

Balu frowned, it was not suitable for him to fight again in a state of declining morale at this time, but he looked at Qi Yanzhuo's fierce expression, paused, and put the words of persuasion into his stomach.

"Yes, Your Highness."

All the generals said in unison, retreating one by one to prepare for the war, leaving Qi Yanzhuo alone in the tent, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As soon as the hour passed, tens of thousands of grassland cavalry marched towards Mocheng with great momentum, and the sound of neat horse hooves soared into the sky, and a burst of birds was surprised.

Qi Yanzhuo rode a horse at the front of the team in armor, he looked at the birds, and thought of the arrogant eagle and the bird poop that fell on his face.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looked coldly at the birds in the sky, eager to stop and torture these birds now.

Half an hour later, the army gradually approached Mocheng, and Balu, who was following Qi Yanzhuo's side, looked at the faintly reflective ground in front of him, and had a faint bad feeling in his heart.

"Sure enough!"

General An led people to guard the city wall, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, and laughed very treacherously.

He wanted to see how they got close!

"City crossbow ready!"

He narrowed his eyes and gave an order.

"Yes!"

When he got closer, Qi Yanzhuo saw the situation in front of him clearly, the ground was still uneven, but the ground was covered with a layer of ice!

The ice reflects an icy glow in the moonlight.

"Stop!"

He ordered with a cold face.

The flag waved, and the army slowly stopped.

Qi Yanzhuo and several generals all looked at the nearly one-kilometer ice with iron faces.

How is this going to go?

It is estimated that the horse's hooves have just stepped on it, and before it has run a few steps, it will slip and fall on the ice.

Looking into the distance, the tall city wall was also wrapped in a thick layer of ice, and the entire Mocheng became a city of ice and snow.

"Shameless! It's shameless! A group of shrunken turtles did not dare to engage us head-on and engage in these despicable methods. ”

Balu angrily scolded.

On the city wall, seeing the grassland army stopped in front of the ice, General An laughed loudly, extremely happy! The other soldiers couldn't help but smile, staring at the motionless steppe army like a good show.

"Ready! If they dare to step on the ice, shoot a crossbow! Beat me up on those crumbs! General An waved his hand and said fiercely.

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Jiang Shijun who was standing beside him, and sighed and said, "Brother Jiang, this method of yours is really a great urgency to save Mocheng, and the grassland soldiers will not dare to attack in the future." ”

Jiang Shijun shook his head and said: "It only works in winter, and the grassland people are not stupid, if they can't do it in winter, they will attack in autumn or spring, as long as they are in one day, the coveting of Mocheng will not stop." ”

"Yes, so they still have to be beaten completely, and they don't dare to do it again." General An nodded and said.

"Send a team to try."

was blocked by the ice, Qi Yanzhuo said without giving up.

Soon a team of more than thirty people slowly stepped onto the ice, and the horses slowed down and walked slowly on the ice.

After a while, a horse slipped and fell, crashing into another horse next to him, and a chain reaction occurred, and more than thirty people fell on the ice, and the man flipped on his back.

Gray and sloppy retreated, and several horses even broke their legs.

"General, no, there is no way to get over at all." Balu heard that several horses had broken their legs, and there was a painful expression on his face, and a horse was worth a lot.

"Just wait here!"

Qi Yanzhuo was almost mad by this, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from between his teeth word by word.

He didn't believe that ice wouldn't melt during the day!

"Your Highness, do you want to go back first?"

Balu felt that this order was inappropriate and persuaded him.

"It's a lot of consumption to go back and forth, just wait here! Send some people back to bring the grain and grass over! ”

"Subordinates obey."

Seeing that he couldn't move, Balu replied helplessly.

It is very obvious that this attack has failed, it is better to retreat directly, and the losses can be less.

"They're really going to wait!"

Seeing that the grassland army did not look like they were leaving, General An sneered.

"Then let them wait!"

"Come on, go cook the meat!"

Time passed little by little, the darkness receded, the dawn broke, and the grassland soldiers who had been frozen all night in the cold wind looked expectantly to the east, hoping that the sun would give them a little warmth.

Not long after the day was fully bright, the rich aroma of meat wafted down the wind to the tip of each steppe soldier's nose.

The steppe soldiers, who had only eaten dry food on the way and had been starving in the cold wind all night, smelled the smell of meat, and their saliva flowed down with greed.

"Despicable villain!"

Qi Yanzhuo also smelled the smell of meat, he looked at the team with a slightly loose military heart, and roared angrily.
