Chapter 211 Another team on the road
The silence after the snow stopped was even more unsettling.
Liu Yunyan thought for a long time and decided to discuss it with Shopkeeper Shen to see if she had any good ideas.
At this time, Shen You was looking for bulk goods nearby. She added a Song Dynasty aircraft-sleeve top to her warm clothes, an outdoor down jacket, a mask, and an eye mask.
Wearing ancient costumes requires multiple layers of clothing, including an outdoor down jacket, which is warm and lightweight.
She marked the photo and followed the ancient path to find it. When Liu Yunyan brought people here, she looked at the abstract snowman at the door of the shop and fell into deep thought.
"It turns out to be a snowman, hey." Uncle Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and put away the knife in his hand.
Before he got closer, he thought he was looking at a ghost. It was so ugly!
"Shopkeeper Shen, are you going out to absorb the essence of heaven and earth?" Another general looked at her outfit and opened his mouth slightly.
It's a bit strange, like a down jacket, but isn't the down jacket worn underneath? Is there such a long style?
Shen You pretended to be deep in thought for a moment, "Look for something to see if you can get a glimpse of the history of this place thousands of years ago."
A few people didn't understand, but nodded along.
Master, it's strange, but it's normal.
Shen You took them into the house. After sitting down, Liu Yunyan talked about the current situation and difficulties.
"It's not surprising that the Lu family's army won't win. If ten infantry can be replaced by one heavy cavalry, it's considered a good fight." Shen You responded.
Daqi simply can't exchange ten for one. Foreigners are more tolerant of severe cold and have higher force value than Daqi people.
Both chain armor and scale armor are available, and have high defense against ordinary weapons.
The casting of these armors was made in Daqi during the time of the late emperor. The old emperor wasted the country's fortunes, which was really harmful.
In ancient times, there was talk of an army of hundreds of thousands. In fact, there were not that many people at all. A force of one to twenty thousand would be very powerful if it could fight.
It is said that there are hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands including logistics, and seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight personnel.
Therefore, it is only reasonable for Da Qi's army of tens of thousands to be afraid of two thousand heavy cavalry.
In the age of cold weapons, the only people who could compete with the heavy cavalry were the heavy cavalry.
That being said, in the eyes of Daqi generals like Liu Yunyan and others, the Lu family army was the most capable and well-equipped team in Daqi, and they also fought like this against foreigners.
They always feel bad inside.
Will the humiliation of nearly subjugating the country decades ago happen again?
"I still have two barrels of oil here, and with the supplies you took away earlier, I might be able to drag it out for a while."
Fire attack is something that foreigners cannot do when they are about to invade. It is not easy for Shuozhou City to survive.
Shen You thought for a while, "How about disturbing the other party's sight while the sky is still dark."
The heavy cavalry army and the siege army are not in the same direction, and there will be an information gap in between.
How long can it be delayed?
Liu Yunyan took over the horn and telescope, and Shen You made all the empty beer bottles they brought into Molotov cocktails.
Uncle Zhou and the others started to move things. Important supplies were still stored in the store and would be picked up when needed.
Now Shen You comes up with something weird and weird, and everyone seems to be used to it.
Liu Yunyan said: "Shopkeeper Shen, the doctor in the army asked me to ask you if you can teach him how to make medicine. He wants to become a disciple."
She looked up to her so much that Shen You sighed, "I don't know how to make medicines. I always ask others to deliver them."
Everyone suddenly realized that he must be the Taoist friend of the master.
Everyone in the city was worried about how to defend themselves against the enemy. In a camp not far from Shuozhou City, foreigners also discussed it all night.
They had never figured out how to crack the Molotov cocktail, and they were also anxious and angry from frustration.
"There has just been a blizzard, and the Daqi people are short of troops. They will definitely be exhausted and their defense will be lax."
"If we send troops now, we can catch them off guard and open the way for the heavy armored cavalry!"
"I don't believe it. How many glass bottles do they have to smash! They can't have an endless supply of supplies." "Yes, maybe they were just to confuse our sight. The supplies should have been almost consumed in the past two days."
How difficult is it to transport things to the north? How much can Daqi transport?
They couldn't keep spending time with Daqi people in such cold weather.
Those who can't bear it, especially the soldiers below, have had a hard time with the blizzard in the past two days.
Heating fuel was running low and some people were already sick.
It’s impossible for the people of Daqi to have a better life than them these two days!
With this idea in mind, the foreigners organized their troops and set off. Counting the time, the cavalry army was almost here.
At that time, if the troops led by General Daqi Zhenguo come to Shuozhou, they will catch turtles in the jar.
If they go to support the Lu family army, they can also take advantage of the situation and surround them.
If these two armies are defeated, Da Qi will be dead!
at the same time.
The army led by Zhenguo General Qi Tai was not peaceful on the road. First, they marched day and night and encountered a snowstorm as soon as they entered the Northland.
Coupled with the extremely cold weather, it was difficult to walk.
Even a team under Pang Cheng's command was blown away by the storm, and the captain was not recovered.
In the Qi army, there are hundreds of people in a team, and twenty-five people in a armor.
The captain of this team was supposed to arrange for people to explore the road, but the road was not explored and the people disappeared first. Then Pang Cheng sent the captain to look for it.
It was like Calabash Baby saving grandpa, but the captain didn’t come back.
Seeing the snowstorm getting bigger and bigger, I couldn't keep my eyes open as I headed into the wind.
If they don't find a place to hide, they will lose their troops and generals before they go into battle with the foreigners.
It happened that the captain was somewhat related to Pang Cheng. He wanted to save people, and the two generals surnamed Pang were in the same spirit.
When the wind was the strongest, the military flag almost blew over. Some people lost their footing and fell down. Then they were blown over and fell down the mountain road.
The orders from the generals in front could not be delivered in time, and the originally neat team became more and more chaotic in the snowstorm.
"Keep walking. Don't retreat to the valley. You can reach a suitable place to camp before nightfall!" Wen Zhi ordered.
The two generals named Pang and their faction advocated retreating into the valley. After the last time, they restrained somewhat, but they still refused to accept it.
With such a heavy snowstorm, no one could see that it was impossible to walk out.
Still want to go forward? Aren't you crazy? !
They didn't dare to speak their minds and said,
"There are still two hours before nightfall, and the wind can be blocked in the valley. How can we continue walking in this situation? Do you really not care about the lives of these soldiers?"
Wen Zhi held the reins with one hand and looked sideways, his eyes sharp,
"I really want you to fall into trouble, sober up and don't care about their lives, so it's time to agree with you."
He looked at the person in charge of the Pang family faction, Pang Qihong, and said coldly, "Keep walking!"
As he said last time, if things are delayed again, he will take action.
"The Imperial Advisor personally serves as the Saint's military advisor. Since it is an order from the Imperial Advisor, we must obey it." Pang Qihong sneered.
"However, this time the Imperial Master insisted on moving forward. Something went wrong, and we dare not bear it."
They stopped him, but they didn't. If the command of the national division was wrong this time, they would have taken the opportunity to seize his power on the charge of delaying the military plane.
Pang Cheng still had something to say, but finally he shut up under Pang Qihong's eyes.
In this kind of weather, it was impossible to delay things for a captain. We could only hope that he would be lucky.
After the small episode just now, the army moved forward again.
The wind and snow are getting colder and colder, making the march more difficult. The place Wen Zhi said can be sheltered from the wind and snow has not yet been found.
Pang Qihong sneered, it depends on what he will do with such a big basket.
