Chapter Eighty-Five: Blizzard Death
Here's the thing.
After the Spring Festival, the snow fell overwhelmingly, and the snowfall in the New Year was originally a happy event, but the amount of snow this time was indeed much beyond everyone's imagination. The barracks in the border area were even more cold, and many soldiers even suffered from frostbite as a result.
At this juncture, the 15,000 vanguard soldiers and horses of the Shenzhou Empire's outpost were also trapped in a place three hundred miles west of Yan County because of this heavy snowfall. The only thing that can be done in this situation is to stand still.
However, even if the problem of immobility has not been resolved, they can remain immobile for the time being. But what about military supplies? The supply of 15,000 people is quite a huge number, and now that the road has been cut off, the follow-up food, grass, medicine, and other supplies cannot be delivered. And the vanguard of 15,000 men was a rapid march, and because this time the mission was not too far, all of them only brought seven days' rations!
I didn't care about it when the snow fell, but by the time I realized that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and I felt that something was wrong, a day and a half had passed, and by the time I realized that the road behind me had been completely blocked by the heavy snow, it was already too late to do anything.
For 15,000 people, the minimum amount of rice and grain to be consumed every day is 10,000 catties, as well as water and other things. Moreover, this does not include the medicines needed by the wounded and the sick, the weather is so cold, and the food supply is not available, as long as the constitution is slightly weaker, they will be sick! After all, the quality of the sergeants in this team is still very good, and there is not one in a hundred sick people!
And the most unbearable thing is that it is not particularly cold when it snows heavily, but when the snow stops, the chill to the bones can almost freeze people alive. And although this ethereal man came out with some warm clothes, the actual demand was far from enough.
It is equivalent to this sudden heavy snowfall, which has forced these 15,000 people into a dead end, almost hopeless!
And it will take at least ten days for the snow to melt completely, and it may not even be possible. If we had waited until then, I am afraid that these 15,000 people would have already turned into 15,000 ice sculptures.
There are only two ways out of the equation before them. One way is to keep going, looting civilians along the way, but that's a drop in the bucket at best, such small villages on the border. At most, a village can only have 100 households, what kind of village can support an army of 15,000 people? Not to mention more war horses?
The other option is to keep moving forward, desperately rushing to the opposing enemy army, defeating or hunting them, and plundering their supplies to ensure their own survival. Of course, this choice is very dangerous. But the two paths are comparatively ill, but this is a relatively feasible choice!
The leader of this vanguard soldier and horse is Feng Mo, who is brave from a thousand people, the head of the original iron-blooded guard, who led his twenty old brothers to lead this elite army, and finally after a lot of hard work, he was able to get Ling Tian's approval and set foot on the battlefield again, but he didn't expect that the desperate situation made Feng Mo almost crazy!
Regardless of whether he came out a day earlier or set out a day later, Albania would not have expanded into such a delicate situation of no way out and full of embarrassment, but the rest of the place was so coincidental! Could it be that if he came out with his brothers, he would have to be placed on this barren mountain without an inch of work? Feng Mo was unwilling, he was really unwilling!
But even if he was unwilling, he would not disobey Ling Tian's order, and Ling Tian said clearly and clearly: The day the spring flowers bloom next year will be the time to set foot in the Yu family! And now that the sky is full of snow, it is definitely not the best time to start a war, no matter whether it is for people or already. So Feng Mo has been hesitating to take action.
But in the team, there are also two bold and fierce figures, Ling Feng and Ling Yun. After Ling Jian got married, these two were given official titles by Ling Tian, but they were killed. Furious, the silence of the past two years, although he often assisted Ling Quanjian in dealing with an ethereal matter. Train some people; Compared to the previous days of sword fighting, it is much inferior, at least in their opinion. This time it came out, and it was probably the extreme boredom that had been staying in Chengtian for the past two years. Seeing Feng Mo sending troops, he followed in vain.
And Ling Tian, Ling Jian and the others considered that with Feng Mo and other veteran generals leading the troops, and having the world's top killers like Ling Feng Lingyun to follow, they would definitely complement each other and be foolproof. And as long as such a force is not surrounded by an army several times its size, it is believed that there will be absolutely no accidents. Besides, Ling Feng and the others have really held back enough for a while, and it's time to go out and let go. Even the two were still discussing that it would be a vacation to let these fifty or so fierce guys take turns to go out for a walk.
So I started with Ling Feng and the others, of course, before leaving, many people envied Ling Feng, and Ling Yun's eyes were red with envy. This is still Ling Jian's face changed and scolded the other people back, otherwise, there would be more followers.
However, no one expected that as soon as they came out, they would encounter such a big situation!
Now Ichikaze has encountered such a sinister situation. Ling Feng Lingyun was completely worried, and even a little excited, trying his best to provoke Feng Mo to attack, firstly, to weaken the enemy's strength, and secondly, to save his brother's life?
In the face of Feng Mo's hesitation, Ling Feng's reason was clear: The harsh environment is relative, and since Gongzi has decided that such bad weather is not conducive to the battle between the two armies, then Yu Manlou is not a fool, and he will definitely not rashly send troops in such weather! Therefore, we will take advantage of this God-given opportunity to get tens of thousands of people to grab some food. If you do something to sabotage, and then run away, even if Yu Manlou knows, he can only suffer a dumb loss for the time being at this juncture.
Even if Yu Manlou really wants to report something, he will choose this season first, he will definitely not risk sending troops, he will definitely wait until the spring season next year, and he will definitely not come out to drink the wind and eat the snow, we have no choice to break the boat, he is completely different;
Therefore, no matter what, it will not affect the overall strategy, take 10,000 steps back and say, rush forward, we can still have vitality, if we don't move forward, will we stay and wait for death?
Feng Mo began to hesitate, then pondered, then paced back and forth, thinking carefully, and finally blurted out: That's right, it's good, it's really a brilliant plan!
So Feng Mo selected 3,000 people in good condition as the vanguard force, led by himself, Ling Feng Lingyun and others, and gathered all twenty iron-blooded guard masters, and silently broke into the territory of the Yu family. And the 12,000 troops behind it, for the sake of safety, naturally keep a certain distance from these 3,000 people, follow from afar, if they succeed, they will naturally cover up and kill, and if there is an accident, they can also rescue at any time. However, no one expected that the result would be
On the other side, the same heavy snow covered the sky, and the soldiers in the basic Yu family military camp were also nested in the temporary military camp, and a bonfire was raised to keep warm.
Or drink hard to survive the extremely cold weather. No matter how experienced a commander is, he would not have predicted that in such bad weather, there would be enemy soldiers stealing camps, and the border between the two families was separated by several mountains. The mountain road is steep and slippery, and the snow is heavy, and a slip will listen to him fall into the deep valley at any time, and the army will be dispatched at this time. It's like looking for death, this has long been a taboo for soldiers to march!
Not to mention military books or anything, it stands to reason that there has always been a choice for warfare in the middle of winter? A military career is not easy, even if you have to die on the battlefield, you should not let people get frostbite on your hands and feet, right? This has become a common practice!
Who would have thought that there would really be such a group of outlaws who came out of Chengtian in a hurry, and who came to the mountains and rivers for vacation, but who were so unlucky to be thrown into the mountains when the snow came?
It's scary to have chance......
Of course, it is rare for troops with such unfortunate encounters to fall into the mountains at any time, or in the mountains, and they actually run into the vast mountains as if they were dying
It is on the first line of the border of the Jade family. Guarding Guan Jue's house and gate will naturally not be an idle person. With the barracks of Yumanlou, it is the top priority. But this time is also the season when the weather is cold and the war is not prosperous. In this way, there is a lot of room for operation.
The children, nephews, and grandchildren of those elders naturally have to be enriched into the army. But the older generation of masters of the Yu family naturally didn't let their hearts go
The liver babies really participate in the bloody battlefield to fight with real knives and guns, in case something goes wrong, what should it be?
And the weather like this is a gold-plated God-given opportunity to send the children and nephews to the most difficult place, which is also the most dangerous place in ordinary times, and the safest place now, by the moment when there is no war. Once the weather returns to the evening, it is really foolproof to say that it will be adjusted back immediately.
In this way, a very perfect gilded trip was also completed, and there was a more perfect excuse for the promotion of the army: stationed on the frontier when the conditions were the most difficult, and did not even go home for the New Year! Such loyalty, no merit and hard work!
In this way, not only did he save his life and blood, but he also got a lot of fun. How can there be a place in the Jade Kingdom in the future? What a wonderful thing I am.
This kind of wishful thinking, those old treacherous and slippery guys think they can't fight? So, under the banner of protecting the family and defending the country, it is actually the result of the magnificent joining the army of the group of people on the gilded journey.
As a result, the outpost of the 30,000 people on the border of the Yu family has almost become a concentration camp for the descendants of the Yu family at this moment, and too many of the ordinary young people in Ming Yucheng are all across their horses and guns, wearing brocade robes instead of armor, and they are concentrated here with great dignity!
This made the border guard Yu Chaowei gray his hair almost overnight!
In terms of safety, there are no tigers, but
If these little ancestors simply came to be soldiers and disciplined, they didn't change their habits, some brought dozens of hunting dogs, some sat in gorgeous carriages, and even brought the concubines at home directly.
The weather is so cold, but there is a hot scene in the Yu family's military camp!
Some are gathering crowds to gamble, and some are fighting beasts. Some stayed in the tent with Mei Ji day and night and didn't know what to do, just paid a burst of ** moans.
There are also those who have nothing to do and go out hunting. It was cold, so naturally he would not go to the mountains to find that uncomfortable, so he went to a nearby village to 'hunt'
In a short period of time, in more than a dozen small villages nearby, there were no dogs barking and all of them were poisoned! It has made the lives of the people in the vicinity miserable, but fortunately, there has not been a case of death.
In this way, Yu Chaowei will receive at least a dozen news of villagers coming to complain every day. This made this innate master even more anxious
Behind these boys, each of them is an old qualification of the Yu family. Jade Chaoran can't be provoked. After several consecutive trainings were not reversed. Yu Chaoran was so angry that he couldn't let it go.
Fortunately, I only stayed here for three or four months! If it was okay, I would not have gone back, and I would have been killed by a headfirst to thank the world! Otherwise, I would have been angry to death. Seeing that the Spring Festival had passed and the ancestors were approaching the day of going back, Yu Chaowei finally had some smiles on his face.
I can't afford to mess with it.
But just when these little ancestors were about to return to the city, Yu Chaowei had even prepared a mushroom excerpt for each of them in advance. Wait until you say goodbye, and hurry up to each person to have a race. Hurry up and fuck off. God, but at this time, it snowed this once-in-a-century snow!
Looking at the heavy snow, Yu Chaowei almost wanted to cry: It will take at least ten days to get rid of these little ancestors! Such a day is hell, with these people here, what kind of soldiers do I have to train? I was dragged by those guys to gamble
Yu Chaowei even suspected that if these young masters were allowed to live here for a year and a half, I was afraid that this military camp would collapse without the need for the Shenzhou Empire to attack......
Listening to the sound of yo five and six next to his handsome, Yu Chaowei sighed sadly, puffed on the bed, pulled the quilt and covered his head tightly
This, is this still a barracks?
Just when the handsome Yu Chaowei was extremely depressed. A bigger and more terrifying accident put an end to his depression.
One of the most bizarre raids since ancient times, inexplicably close!
Yu Chao was very handsome and the mini found that the noise around him suddenly decreased a lot. Originally, it was Cao Zao's noise, which was surrounded by all directions, but now the sound of the east is suddenly much less. It seemed to become quiet in an instant, which was nothing at all, but against the backdrop of the sound of the old in several other directions, Yu Chaowei, an innate master, instinctively felt that something was wrong in his heart.
In the direction of the east are the two grandsons of the great elder of the family, and there are a few examples of taking the lead, these boys are the most lawless group, they have never paid attention to their military orders, why did they put out the fire in advance today? If it is said that there is a prodigal son turning back, it is too unrealistic to show forgiveness? Is it that they have had enough? Even if they have played enough, the movement has disappeared a little too neatly!
I listened to it for a while, and found that the voice of the south, which was next to the east, had also disappeared, and I was laughing wildly a moment ago, but suddenly there was no sound!
The voices of the north and the west were still coming, sometimes mixed with excited screams, but the southeast and southeast directions seemed to have become a dead field, and the huge contrast was really too great!
The internal force was wildly raised, and he listened carefully to the movement outside, but he still couldn't hear anything, the wind mixed with the heavy snow was still raging endlessly, and there seemed to be a heavy dull sound in the distance, but it was faint.
"Someone!" Yu Chaowei was covered in cold sweat and roared, but unexpectedly no one answered. The ominous feeling in Yu Chaowei's heart became more and more
The thicker it is, what do you do with your recruits? He scurried to the door, raised his right hand, and threw a chair with a thud. Then the sword came out of its sheath, and with a swipe, it cut through the other side of the tent and jumped out.
The sky was snowing heavily, and the ground was silvery white. There doesn't seem to be anything unusual at all. The chair he had just thrown was left alone on the snow, smashing a hole.
The four-story sentry near the tent was arranged by himself. His thirty-two personal guards have always been by his side, even in the ice and snow today, they have never been absent, but now they have not seen a single one. Yu Chaowei suddenly felt a creep, this was the feeling of death invasion
In the barracks on both sides of the southeast, there was no sound at all. Quietly, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood, and Yu Chaowei made a decision, unfolded his body, and ran towards the west at a high speed. As the commander of an army, this is the first time that he has gone all out in his own barracks.
Just as Yu Chaowei had just unfolded his body, the snow in front of him seemed to squirm. A thick layer of snow suddenly lifted up, slashing at him with a face, and then two white shadows jumped up, and two thin long swords slashed out with great speed and precision.
