Chapter 212 Avoiding the Avalanche
Pang Qihong was about to say something sarcastic, but when he opened his mouth, the cold wind wrapped in snow flakes poured into his mouth.
The lungs and tubes were all cold, and it took a while to recover.
"It will be night in about half an hour. The Imperial Master doesn't know what the night is like in the North, right?"
Pang Qihong said with a cold face and something pointed.
When the time comes, let’s see how he explains it.
I actually fought in the northern zone. In the early years, the weather was fine. In recent years, snowstorms have occurred frequently, and the situation is even more serious at night.
As time passed little by little, the team had a difficult time, and the leader Qi Tai also felt a little regretful.
It is no longer possible to return.
But seeing the wind getting stronger and stronger, I couldn't hold on any longer, and I didn't see any hope yet.
The trust and respect that he had only established not long ago for the Imperial Master were gone now.
Did he really rush to Shuozhou in a hurry and make a wrong decision?
"General Qi, look at this place. Although it is not satisfactory, it is better than having no cover at all." His general suggested.
Qitai also had this idea.
Can't go any further.
He said to Wen Zhi, who was walking in the same row, "Why not choose to camp here to avoid the snowstorm."
"Do you think the west side of this place is okay?" Wen Zhi asked back.
It's not very feasible, but it's getting dark.
Qitai thought for a few seconds. Since he had obeyed the imperial master at the beginning, he would believe it until the end. It was a big taboo to be dubious.
The Imperial Preceptor really made a mistake in his judgment, so he might as well take this opportunity to legitimately take away his right to command the army.
On this matter, Qitai and Pang Qihong had the same idea.
However, it is destined to be impossible.
When it gets dark, the best place to escape the snowstorm is found!
The expression on Pang Qihong's face didn't know whether it was because he was too cold or frozen, or whether his purpose was not achieved. In short, it was not very good-looking.
The more uncomfortable things are yet to come.
The soldiers lit torches, and the logistics began to set up camp, preparing to stay overnight to deal with the snowstorm.
Suddenly I heard a roar and the whole ground was shaking.
Although I couldn't see clearly what was going on in the distance, experienced people already knew by listening to the noise.
There was an avalanche on the other side of the valley at the beginning.
If they really retreat, the entire army may be wiped out!
The location, distance and terrain determine that even if there is an avalanche, there will be no problems.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they were still a little scared. The eyes they looked at Wen Zhi changed from horror to admiration.
Can he really seek good fortune and avoid misfortune? !
Although the affairs of the previous Jian Zheng and Imperial Advisor were Da Qi's secrets and were not announced to the outside world, several generals had high official positions and had heard of them to some extent. They were really capable people.
At the same time, everyone also knows that the current one is no good and is a magician who talks nonsense and has unpredictable intentions.
Available now.
"May I ask the Imperial Master, if you had already thought that if you retreated to the valley, you would encounter an avalanche?" Qi Tai, a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, couldn't help but believe it.
"Does this still need to be calculated?" Wen Zhi asked matter-of-factly.
Qi Tai: You mean, he can see such small things without using hexagrams?
"What do you think of the Imperial Master's battle against Da Qi?" he asked again.
"I won't let Da Qi lose." Wen Zhi took a bite of the dry food in his hand expressionlessly.
The compressed biscuits and the cakes made by Daqi were really unpalatable. In fact, he didn't have to eat anything.
I have to make a sample, so I can only eat it together.
His calm tone was mixed in the cold wind, but Qi Tai and others misunderstood it.
I never expected that the Imperial Master would serve Da Qi wholeheartedly!
In the past, he controlled the court and acted in a flamboyant manner. Could it be that he was all acting? They misunderstood!
"National Master, you must take good care of your health." Qi Tai said seriously. It is said that catching a glimpse of heaven's secrets can cost one's life, but the Imperial Master looks physically weaker than them. A war is imminent, so he must not get into trouble.
Several high-ranking generals couldn't help but want to ask Wen Zhi to help them calculate. Some wanted to calculate the prosperity of the family, and some wanted to calculate marriage.
Everyone thinks that his calculation must be accurate!
Wen Zhi was speechless, "Go to Si Tianjian for fortune telling. I don't know how to calculate these things."
He just knew that Da Qi's national destiny was weak and nothing would go smoothly.
When encountering a snowstorm in the Northland, something is obviously wrong, so take precautions before it happens.
Without dodging the avalanche, this army would be finished, and he would not be able to expel the foreigners before the old emperor's life expired.
After the avalanche incident, General Qi Tai and other generals treated Wen Zhi with respect, changing their previous suspicions.
The two generals surnamed Pang have been in the officialdom for so many years, and they are not stupid. With the current situation, they dare not say anything more.
The road ahead was relatively smooth, but it was inevitable that some people would get sick along the way, and those who couldn't bear it would have their bones buried in the north.
There are medicines, but the ancient medicines don't work that quickly. The medicines made in modern times are all in Shenyou's shop in Shuozhou City.
Only Wen Zhi had some points and gave them to a few generals. The people below didn't have enough points, so they had to give priority according to their importance.
——
Outside Shuozhou City.
The foreign siege army was ready, and three hundred cavalry were on their way to Shuozhou from different directions.
The sound of neat horse trampling mixed with the sound of armor clashing, and the sound of murder was especially clear in the silent snow.
Just as the siege army approached Shuozhou City, there was a sudden 'bang' in the originally depressed city.
Fireworks explode in the blues hour sky.
At around seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was not bright enough, so the fireworks were particularly gorgeous, filling the entire sky.
The foreigners, including the captain of the heavily armed cavalry, all raised their heads.
Especially for the siege troops, it felt like fireworks were exploding above their heads and falling downwards. The momentum was very oppressive.
"What do you mean? Daqi people are actually setting off fireworks?!" The foreign general gritted his teeth.
It’s true that Daqi is celebrating the New Year soon.
The question is, where did they get such big fireworks?
Things of this level are only available to the princes and nobles of the capital.
"General!!!" the hurried soldier said in panic, "not only do they have fireworks, they also seem to have weapons!"
"What weapon?" The foreign general's expression changed.
Obviously, the intimidating effect of the Molotov cocktail is still there.
"I don't know, it seems to be made of gunpowder. The spies saw someone handing their female general this long, cylindrical thing that emits blue light!"
They have all seen Daqi's fireworks, but they have never seen this thing. Think about it again, the mysterious weapon used by Daqi people when they intercepted the female general.
Who will send fireworks to Shuozhou City? Is Emperor Daqi out of his mind?
And he would set off fireworks when he was about to die?
Is it reasonable?
Is there any conspiracy among the people of Daqi? Or are the fireworks they set off poisonous? Those fireworks that emit blue light have a lot of smoke.
Just waiting for an order, the foreigners who were preparing to attack the city hesitated.
The three hundred heavily armored cavalry on the other side also stopped.
Are Daqi people passing on the news? Or has something changed in Shuozhou City? It can't be just for fun.
"Send someone to explore the front first." The captain ordered the people around him.
They are precious combat resources. If the situation is unknown, they will never go in recklessly. The terrain of Shuozhou is special, just in case there is a trap.
At this moment, Liu Yunyan stood on the city wall and exclaimed, "These fireworks are so fun."
Shopkeeper Shen said that since the fireworks were also used as signals, exploding like this might delay some time and allow the people in the city to prepare to run away.
You won’t suffer any loss if you try it. If it works, you will make money.
This kind of siege battle is easy to defend but difficult to attack. When the situation is unclear, there is a high probability that you will not dare to act rashly.
Masters outside the world + national division: On one side, there are supplies but not enough combat power, and on the other side, there are people who do not obey orders. It is too difficult to lead Da Qi
