278 Brave the wind and snow, walk like flying!
Chu army, high front battalion.
The night is dark, and the hunting flag is still fluttering in the wind and snow. On the crystal clear ice and snow city wall, the Chu soldiers stood guard around the fire. The sound of a long fight came, and there was no other noisy sound in the whole camp.
The soldiers fell asleep in excitement, and before going to bed, they were still discussing today's wonderful gladiatorial fight-Qian Changhong Shi of a thousand-person team of the Quyang New Army personally came on the field and overturned seventeen challengers one after another.
On the whole, this school martial arts has maintained the morale of the Chu army very well-
Let the Chu army still maintain a martial and aggressive spirit in this long and boring confrontation.
It's the end of January, and it's the coldest time - going out to collect ice and water has become the hardest errand, except for watching the school martial arts, everyone is willing to leave the warm semi-crypt military tent.
Xiong Wuliang sat in his room, the stove was warm, and a handful of corn with salt was roasted on the stove, exuding the aroma of grain.
There's no tea here, but the boiling water is just as perfect – a copper kettle clamped to the stove and billowing white steam.
There were no soldiers in the house, Xiong Wuliang roasted the fire alone, pouring hot water into the porcelain bowl in front of him from time to time, and sipping slowly.
There was a soft cough outside the house, Xiong Wuliang suddenly raised his head, and his face showed excitement: "Come in." ”
Huang Wu appeared in front of Xiong Wuliang and bowed his hand deeply to Xiong Wuliang: "Meet the lord." ”
Xiong Wuliang took another porcelain bowl from behind him and poured hot water on it...... At this time, the copper kettle was almost empty, so Xiong Wuliang walked outside the tent again, took a handful of white snow, and added it to the copper kettle.
"Drink some hot water and warm up." Xiong Wuliang said with a smile, looking amiable.
Huang Wu, who still had snowflakes on his body, was flattered, and after thanking him repeatedly, he took the porcelain bowl and drank it all......
Xiong Wuliang's eyes widened-
Ha? Isn't it hot?
Huang Wu's tears were about to flow out, and his face turned red.
Anyway, the body must have warmed up.
"Lord, our Qingyuwei has found it!" With tears in his eyes, Huang Wu respectfully handed over a sheepskin.
Xiong Wuliang took the sheepskin, which was painted with sinuous dots and lines, but there were no markings...... I don't understand!
Huang Wu diligently trotted two steps, took the map, and drew a long line on the map with charcoal - from Xianyang to Danyu.
"This is the grain transportation route of the Qin army!" Huang Wu looked at Xiong Wuliang, looking forward to the latter's praise.
In order to find out this road line, Qing Yuwei paid a huge price!
It must be known that the wind and snow are long - it will not take an hour for the ruts left by the Qin army's baggage convoy to be buried by the wind and snow.
Therefore, if you want to discover this route, you can only send a large number of people to reconnoiter in the wind and snow.
Even the skilled Qing Yu Wei is no different from ordinary people in the harsh natural conditions. More than a dozen of the Qingyuwei spies were severely frostbitten as a result, and some even had to have their limbs amputated.
It's all one in a million! Every time Huang Wu thought of this, he almost couldn't breathe with heartache!
Xiong Wuliang patted Huang Wu on the shoulder: "The sacrifice of Qing Yuwei, Ben Hou sees it in his eyes - if Qing Yuwei is injured or sacrificed, Ben Hou will be heavily compensated!" ”
Huang Wu was a little moved, and asked tentatively, "Lord, do you want to ...... Sneak attack on the grain route of the Qin army? ”
The two sides of Qin and Chu, and even the kingdom of heaven and earth whose eyes are gathered here...... Everyone is waiting for the decisive battle after the beginning of spring.
No one thought they could fight in winter.
But if the Chu army was taken by surprise and attacked suddenly, it cut off the grain route of the Qin army...... That's where it gets interesting!
As long as the Qin army is cut off from supplies, on the banks of the Danshui River, which is cold and windy, it won't even survive for three days!
But......
Huang Wu had the courage to admonish: "Lord, my subordinates advise you to stop thinking about this-"
"The grain route of the Qin army is far away, and if you go to the ambush from our army's camp, the dispatched men will have to trek in the wind and snow for at least two days."
"Even if I, Qingyuwei, can withstand these two days of trekking, there are very few people...... With all due respect, your army will freeze to death in the middle of the road before it reaches the ambush point. ”
From [Gaoqian] to [Danyu], it is only thirty miles away.
In a normal season, this is just a day and night march of the army. If you march in a hurry at any cost, you can reach it in just one day.
But in the midst of this snowstorm...... In less than two or three days, even the Danyu camp of the Qin army could not arrive. Not to mention that he had to bypass the Danyu camp and ambush the Qin army's baggage convoy.
And Bai Qi is also a chicken thief - there is no law in the time of Qin Jun's baggage transportation.
Even if the surprise attack team of the Chu army overcame all difficulties and dangers, successfully evaded the surveillance of the Qin army Danyu battalion, and reached the ambush point...... You also had to lie on your stomach at the ambush point, waiting for the Qin army's baggage convoy by luck.
It's a few days in the snow, and even an iron man can't bear it!
All in all - it was not easy on the road, and it was even more difficult to successfully squat on the Qin army's baggage.
Even Qing Yuwei, who was tightly wrapped and had extremely strong physical fitness, paid a lot of casualties due to hypothermia, not to mention the sergeants under Xiong Wuliang's command.
Having said that, if it was very simple to squat to the Qin army's baggage team, Qing Yuwei would not have to find out the specific baggage route of the Qin army in two months.
……
Listening to Huang Wu's detailed explanation, Xiong Wuliang nodded again and again, but his expression was still very relaxed.
"Benhou has his own way...... Qing Yuwei has explored the Qin army's baggage route, and he should make a great achievement! Xiong Wuliang waved his hand.
Seeing that Xiong Wuliang didn't think so, Huang Wu couldn't help but struggle for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and mustered up his courage, and said bluntly with a straight face: "Lord, you haven't walked outside the camp for a long time, and you don't understand the hardships and dangers!" ”
"Such a wind and snow - ordinary people only need to walk outside for three or four hours, and they will freeze to death due to hypothermia!"
"If the prince insists on sending his soldiers, he will surprise the Qin army's grain road...... It's just a matter of increasing casualties! not only sacrificed the loyal and brave soldiers, but also laughed at the Qin army! ”
Nonsense, if the Qin army's grain road was so easy to sneak attack, the kingdom of Tianxia would not invariably think that it would not be possible to fight in winter.
Since everyone thinks that it is common sense that you can't fight in winter...... Then there must be a reason for it!
Huang Wu also knew how brave and loyal the Quyang soldiers under Xiong Wuliang's command were...... It is not a problem to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire.
But the cold weather is more terrifying than the sword mountain and the sea of fire - this cold objectively exists, even if the sergeant has strong determination and perseverance, it is impossible to withstand it.
Xiong Wuliang looked at Huang Wu and couldn't help but smile.
Compared to the yin guy who is yin and damaged, he still prefers Huang Wu, an upright man!
If Yin Yu, the commander of the Black Feather Guard, was here, he would definitely be afraid of angering himself - he wouldn't say anything, he would only respectfully carry out the order, and watch the sergeant under Xiong Wuliang's command die.
But Huang Wu will make a direct admonition!
Xiong Wuliang poured a bowl of hot water for Huang Wu again, and chuckled: "Commander Huang doesn't need to be in a hurry—how could Ben Hou joke with the lives of his sergeants?" ”
"When I use some means, Jiao'er is equal to moving freely in the wind and snow! And it has the effect of keeping out the cold! ”
After that, Xiong Wuliang ignored Huang Wu's questioning eyes, summoned Xiao Hei, who was on duty outside the house, and said to the latter: "Xiao Hei, go and invite General Wu Ben to come over!" ”
"Ben Hou has something to do for me."
