Chapter 539 Snow Falls, Grain and Grass Crisis

Spring goes to autumn, and it is another year of winter solstice.

At this time, it was the late November of the twenty-seventh year of the Heavenly Sage.

The southern Lingyue and other counties of the Great Song Dynasty were only slightly cold, but in the northern land, the goose feather snow had already wrapped the earth in a thick goose feather coat.

The snowflakes fluttered, and a snowflake reflecting the crystal light slowly fell between Chen Duling's black hair, becoming one of his "white hairs".

"General! You better cover up the snow, if you continue like this, you will have a cold, how to preside over the overall situation at that time! ”

Li Yong, the deputy garrison of Heyuan City, chased after Chen Turin all the way, wanting to hit the umbrella in his hand on the top of Chen Duling's head.

However, Chen Turin walked quite fast, and his umbrella to cover the snow could not always be held above Chen Turin's head.

Chen Duling, who had just finished inspecting a section of the city wall, looked at Li Yong helplessly, and said speechlessly:

"The soldiers defending the city can stand on the city wall for a few hours in the wind and snow, even if I get a little snow, what can I do?

Ben would not have been so vulnerable.

Our task today is still very heavy, taking advantage of the Xiongnu offensive to stop for a while. Hurry up to check and fill in the gaps, make up for the deficiencies on the city wall, repair what needs to be repaired, and make up for the lack of personnel, don't delay time because of these trivial things? ”

Chen Turin is now eager to learn the doppelganger technique, and use himself as a hundred, how can he have time to wait for someone.

Just to cover the snow?

He's not that precious!

When I ambushed the Hun squad in the snow with my father, sometimes they climbed all night, what was the matter with this little snow?

He couldn't figure out how these generals had been promoted before, could it be that they hadn't fought hard battles?

The girls chirped, and there was no heroism and decisiveness of the warriors at all.

Li Yong smiled and was not annoyed. Blocking the umbrella above Chen Duling's head and said: "General, you are different from them, you are a guard, they are just small soldiers, it is naturally nothing to drench a little snow, but if you fall at this time, our city will be all over!" ”

Chen Turin shook his head speechlessly and continued to walk towards the next section of the city wall. Li Yong hurriedly followed.

As he walked, Chen Turin asked, "How much food is left in the city?" Now that the snow is so big, can the warehouse be prepared for snow?

Be careful, don't let the snow fall into the grain depot, otherwise as soon as the snow melts into water, all the grain will be gone! ”

Li Yong hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, general, everything is ready, we will start repairing the granary as soon as the snow comes, and now the preparations of the granary are sufficient, and we will definitely not let the snow seep in."

There is also grain and grass in the granary, please put it in the general, enough for us to eat in the whole city. For several years, it is impossible for us to lack food in the original city. ”

Chen Turin nodded, and then said, "Have the soldiers sent out all the cotton clothes?" And have the charcoal fires used by the battalions been distributed in full? Be careful to remind them that the tent cannot be blocked, otherwise it is very likely that they will be poisoned by charcoal, which is not good. ”

"It's all sent down, no one has paid it in full, with the Huns' style in other cities these days, everyone knows that it's a matter of life and death, and no one will make small moves.

Lord, where do you look! ”

Li Yonggong respectfully reported Chen Duling's problem.

Then he pointed to the soldiers on duty on the edge of the city and said:

"Look, General, everyone is already on!"

Chen Turin turned his head to look, and sure enough, those guards were wearing thick cotton clothes, cotton was the first thing that Feiyun Commercial Bank began to sell, and when the cotton clothes first came out, everyone was skeptical about its warmth effect.

But when the cotton clothes are worn on the body, they feel the warmth brought by Lianyi, and everyone is really fragrant again.

Even the imperial court began to buy military supplies from Feiyun Commercial Bank last year, and this time the burden of Heyuan City was very heavy, and the imperial court specially mobilized 100,000 sets of cotton clothes to come.

Chen Turin took two steps forward and reached out to touch a handful of cotton clothes, a familiar and warm feeling, which is a feeling of excellent workmanship and sufficient materials.

"The imperial court has finally done a personnel job this time, and it has not cut corners in supplies."

Chen Turin sighed.

Adjutant General Li Yong sneered with a sneering face: "General, how dare they this time!"

If the imperial court wants to rebuild the defense line, we need to firmly hold Heyuan City, and if they dare to make small moves against our backs in this case, they will not be afraid of the brothers......"

Li Yong didn't finish speaking, and it was not suitable to finish, but Chen Turin understood what he meant, nodded and said:

"The world is like this, and there is nothing to be done.

We can't control the minds of those people in the court, the only thing we can manage now is ourselves, if Heyuan City is broken, not to mention that the title of the general can't be obtained, I'm afraid that my Heyuan City will not leave chickens and dogs.

There are also two city walls, first go to patrol the end, according to the habits of the Xiongnu in the past two days, in the middle of the night they are always used to attack the city at night, so that the brothers guarding the city are vigilant, don't be attacked by the Huns. ”

"No! The last general understands and will be arranged. ”

"That's good......"

The voices of the two faded away, and the people walked farther and farther away, patrolling the other walls.

And now the snow in the sky is starting to fall heavier and heavier.

Outside the city, the Hun camp.

"Shan Yu, it can't go on like this, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, due to lack of food and clothing, many of our captured slaves have frozen to death, and there is no way to use it to siege the city, and I see the snow outside getting heavier and heavier.

If the snow is knee-high, it will not be easy to attack the city, and the movement of the army will be limited! That's dangerous! ”

In the camp tent, the high-ranking members of the Tira tribe gathered here, and a Xiongnu general was reporting the current situation to Tiladanyu.

Tila Danyu's brows were also furrowed, he never thought that this year's snow would fall so much, it was beyond his expectations, and even the movement of the army was restricted!

But now that the food in the army is insufficient, they didn't bring much when they came out, and they wanted to supplement it by looting in the Great Song Dynasty.

But since the Song court planned to rebuild the defense line, the Song people in Hedong County began to fortify the walls and clear the wilderness.

Outside the city, they were able to find very limited food.

Due to the particularity of the border, most of the people on the east side of the river lived on the edge of the town, and there were no villages scattered all over the countryside like in the interior, and even if they could not capture the city, the Xiongnu could get supplies from the villages.

There is no such concept as a village here, and all the fields are official tun fields and military tun fields.

The imperial court decreed, and the people moved into the city one after another, anyway, the grain had already been harvested, leaving an empty place for the Xiongnu, and there was not a grain of grain.

This made the rest of the Xiongnu not so good except for the Huns who had already broken through the city.

Tira originally wanted to take a big sip of milk by breaking through Heyuan City, a heavy city of grain, but he didn't expect that the Song general who defended the city was actually quite level, and it had been almost half a month, and he had not made any progress, but the grain and grass were almost exhausted.

Looking at the sad faces of the generals below, Tatila knew that he couldn't continue like this.

Touching his chin and began to ponder, he looked at the map on the table in front of him and began to look for a breakthrough......
