After seven days of march, Baiyao arrived at the first pass to Beihai City, Xuemen Pass.
The rolling barren mountains left a gap here. When the Yin and Shang Dynasties were established, the north had not yet recovered, so a pass was built in the gap.
After passing Xuemen Pass, you will reach the true bitter cold land in the north, and the terrain will transform into endless snowfields.
The soldiers had changed into cold-resistant clothing. Compared to the native rebels opposite, they were not frost-resistant.
In the big tent, Baiyao was reviewing military affairs.
The logistics of Dongxi Bohou are provided by themselves, and they have the autonomy of the subject country. The court will only let them send military supplies to Enzhou together, and how to distribute it has nothing to do with them.
Even so, Chaoge's 500,000-strong army's logistical support will not be much easier.
Fortunately, the treasury was full, and when Baiyao took command, no corrupt officials dared to deduct food and grass. He could even eat fresh fruits sent from the rear.
"Best wishes, according to your order, the craftsmen have already started assembling the siege equipment. They will be ready for use before dawn tomorrow."
The herald bowed.
Baiyao raised his head from the table full of documents:
"Are there any frostbite among the soldiers?"
The herald replied:
"Not yet."
Baiyao hummed and signaled the messenger to step back.
The biggest enemy in this war was not Yuan Futong, but the bad weather.
There are not many monks accompanying the army, and their cultivation is low. It is unrealistic for them to draw cold-warming charms for hundreds of thousands of people.
After entering the snowfield, even the firewood for heating will need to be transported behind the scenes.
The rebels couldn't even leave him cow dung.
There was a hint of fatigue in Baiyao's eyebrows.
The soldiers brought by Ji Chang and Jiang Huanchu were split up by him and Wen Zhong and divided into two armies.
800,000, Wen Zhong brought 500,000, because the Guancheng leading to Chongcheng was strong and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be said that Chonghou Hu put the safety of his hometown first.
The goal of the 300,000 troops led by Baiyao was to enter the snowfield and attack Beihai City.
There are many thin horses in the north, so Dashang's cavalry can play a great advantage.
The ideal is beautiful, but in reality he still has to take care of the food and clothing of these 300,000 people.
The highest official position Baiyao had in his previous life was the elementary school monitor, and he resigned because of shielding his classmates.
Now he is commanding the entire army based on his original experience in leading troops.
Without these experiences, and without Da Zhu’s status, I would be afraid that a camp roar would occur before reaching Xuemen Pass.
This pass occupies a natural barrier, and the soldiers on the city said that one person is worth ten.
If you want to attack it, you must take full advantage of Dashang's wealth and use siege equipment to smash it open.
Baiyao silently gave instructions to improve the food standards of the craftsmen.
At this time, a fat practitioner bent down and opened the curtain of the big tent and walked in.
"Great wish, the general guarding Xuemen Pass is called Peng Sha, and he is one of the first seventy-two princes to rebel."
"What else did you see?" Baiyao asked without raising his head.
The fat man replied:
"There are about 20,000 defenders. There is a lot of kerosene and rolling stones and wood in the city. There are practitioners on the snowy field constantly transporting supplies to defend the city."
Hearing this, Baiyao put down his pen, stood up, and left the tent.
The cold wind is blowing outside, the frozen soil is thousands of miles away, and everything is desolate.
"Best wishes——"
The four generals of the Demon Family who were guarding the door were as tall as three stories high. When they saw Baiyao coming out, they immediately saluted.
They were sent by Wen Zhong to protect him.
The four brothers received a death order. Even if they wanted to kill mortals, Baiyao could not do any damage.
This makes Wen Zhong worry too much.
Although it is a consensus that the Dashang royal family carries the destiny of humanity, most practitioners do not know the true effect of the destiny of humanity.
Baiyao is a great blessing. Compared with his, the luck carried by ordinary royal families is like the light of fireflies in the sun.
Any spell that attacks him will be blocked by humanity, unless the opponent's strength can break through the blockage of humanity.
Taiyi?
Or Da Luo?
Kong Xuan once speculated that even his full blow might not be effective.
Baiyao, who didn't feel cold even in single clothes, said lightly to the four generals of the Demon Family:
"You four brothers crossed Xuemen Pass at night to deal with the enemy practitioners."
Moli Qing hesitated slightly and said:
"Da Zhu, why don't you let me and the second child go, and the third and fourth children stay to protect you?"
Baiyao shook his head and said:
"I don't need your protection to kill the enemy practitioners. Otherwise, even if the city wall is broken, they still have something and can repair it in time."
Seeing this, the four brothers from the Demon family had no choice but to accept the military order and leave the camp.
Baiyao turned around and returned to the empty tent.
He asked Daji to go to the flank to meet Su Hu, even if she was just pretending, she had to pretend to be Su Hu's good daughter.
After all, Su Hu had many generals who were loyal to him. In the original book, he still loyally supported him after he rebelled.
For example, his son Su Quanzhong had a fiery temper and superb martial arts skills. He was good at wielding an iron halberd and was the leader of the three armies.
For example, Zheng Lun, the grain inspector, studied under Du'e Zhenren, and the two qi in the orifice specialized in human souls.
These are the future combat forces, and Baiyao wants to use this opportunity to counter the rebellion to draw them all under his command.
After all, the practitioners in the original Battle of the Gods were brave enough to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Who knows why they were not afraid of karmic debt.
Looking at the overall situation, as long as he stabilizes the situation, when Jiang Ziya comes down from the mountain in the future, he will face a powerful empire with people's hearts united.
He couldn't even find a reason to rebel.
Baiyao thought about this battle and the future, and heated himself a pot of tea.
When he was about to drink, his feet slipped for no reason and he fell to the ground, spilling all the hot tea on his clothes.
"?"
Baiyao looked at the carpet on the ground and was confused.
"This isn't the floor, how could I slip?"
He stood up with his hands on the ground and was about to change his clothes when his hand hit the oil lamp on the table and almost burned the document.
After handling the oil lamp, Baiyao didn't dare to move.
He cautiously walked to an empty space in the big tent, his right eye twitched slightly, and he felt uneasy.
what's the situation?
This is too bad luck.
Baiyao faintly sensed a malicious intent, not around or outside.
Or he felt something in his heart, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes quietly.

"Deducing personal futures."

"I."

…
[The deduction failed, your location in Humanity is too high]
[Current National Games: 2020 points]
"Keep trying until you succeed."
【National Games-50】
…
For Baiyao, the future can be changed.
For example, after it was deduced that Daji was going to attack him at night, he sealed the bottom of the bed and asked the owl guards to guard outside Liuyun Palace day and night, spending every night peacefully.
Having inherited the memory of using national luck for hundreds of years, he is sensitive to such ethereal things as "luck".
And compared to other great blessings, including the original one, he is directly bound to the destiny of the country, so there is no need to meditate on perception.
Sharing the honor and disgrace of the country, there is no personal luck to speak of. There is definitely a reason for being so unlucky.
Sure enough, after spending a full 450 points of national luck, he saw the future.
The sky is dark and the earth is dark, and there is heavy snow all over the sky.
There were loud killing cries from the outside world, and a huge gap was opened in Xuemen Pass by catapults.
He stood on a high slope outside the Chinese army's tent and stared at the entire battlefield.
Ji Fa took the lead and led his cavalry to kill the rebels who rushed out of the city to protect the craftsmen repairing the city wall.
Suddenly, a voice came from my ears.
Turning around, he saw a group of heavily armed heavy cavalry coming from the side. The equipment was extremely well-equipped. The general Er Lai, who was responsible for guarding the flank, was trampled to pulp after killing dozens of people.
This cavalry had no fear of life or death. Even if it was pierced by a spear in the abdomen, it would not stop. It rushed straight towards him, breaking through layers of barriers, like a sharp knife, piercing the heart of Dashang's army.
The four generals of the Demon Family were not there, perhaps to intercept the other cultivators. Only he and a few heralds were left outside the tent.
There is no way to retreat, the screen goes black, and the deduction is over.
Baiyao opened his eyes and whispered:
"Heavy cavalry attack the camp..."
