At the time of the watch, the mountain wall is as sharp as a chip, and the cold moon can actually reflect the light, but it is still cold and unusually cold.
In this harsh winter when thousands of households light up lights and use charcoal fires to keep themselves warm, when they go out, they want to wrap their beds and quilts around themselves. Every pedestrian shrinks his neck, and his whole body is enveloped by the pervasive cold air that is waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble. Support your body and tie your cuffs tightly. At such a time, after all, even the southern part of the world is not having a good time, not to mention Shuofang, the northern part of the country that was the first to hear the cold. For years, there have been poor people who have not found a place to warm up and have lost the fire in their bodies. They freeze to death here. The northern land is full of wind and snow all day long, so no one wants to go out, let alone at this watch time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the breath freezes and the water bladder freezes.
It is common to see cattle and sheep trapped in wind and snow, and when the wind and snow pass, usually not even one out of ten survives, and even their thick fur cannot withstand the brutal and fierce cold. As expected, it is like a surging tide. Come.
The general who was at the Luzhou Barrier once thought about an idea. Therefore, the winter was particularly cold. Many soldiers' hands were cut open by the north wind like knives. If they were not treated, the skin and flesh would be turned out soon, and The pain was unbearable, so I figured out a way to use thick cotton and linen to sew thick feather sacs at the end of the sleeves at the hands, using deer and sheep skin shells, and filling them with wool. Whenever you don't need to use your hands, You can put your hands into this bag to temporarily prevent your hands from being cold and stiff. After all, helmets always make the whole body cold. When winter comes, the number of people infected with the disease is even worse. It is especially important to wear clothes to keep out the cold.
It is critical that even though the Xu Meng Mansion has not shown signs of a large-scale attack on the city for a long time, it still dare not take it lightly. Although this matter consumes a lot of people and money, it is still promoted in Luzhou Barrier Post.
But there are always people who cannot use such things.
This majestic mountain looks like the Luzhou Barrier, which is cut and wrapped in solid ice. If someone is careful and has a strong eye, he will definitely be able to see under the barrier. There are some grooves in the gaps in the mountain wall where the ice is tight and solid in winter. , do not seem to have been eroded by the strong winds in winter, but more like the traces left by manpower digging into the solid ice. However, the snow rarely stops at the border and the sun rises. The holes that were still deep just now will soon be It is tightly covered by snowflakes. As long as there is no snowfall for a day, and the hard ice on the surface melts slightly, it will be frozen as solid as a rock.
It's a pity that the Luzhou Barrier is really well-defended. Commander Wen, who is very popular in the army, must have made deliberate efforts to turn the Luzhou Barrier into a desperate place that all the heroes are looking forward to, and even drilled through many mountains. , setting up crossbow carts and hard crossbows, just to stock up on rolling wood, Shengsheng used the soldiers at hand to cut down all the deep forests hundreds of miles around the open area of Luzhou, and transported them to the top of the barrier to replenish armaments. There was no need to worry about the so-called fire, not only in There is a cellar well on the mountain. And because the Luzhou Barrier is extremely high, even the best strong bows and crossbows in the world are still difficult to shoot kerosene to the top of the barrier. Therefore, even if there are sporadic spies coming to spy outside the barrier, they still dare not step forward. It takes extremely good riding skills to save one's life when those powerful bows and even crossbows are fired directly from high up, which is the most difficult thing.
Even ordinary people speculate that this handsome man is cautious.
I'm afraid that Huang Fuchao, who does everything he can, will come up with some vicious tricks, and he doesn't want to fight with him. If he sends his troops eastward from the Luzhou Barrier, he might fall into the vicious scholar's scheme. , and the scholar is often ill, so there is no need to confront him directly. It is better to avoid it temporarily, and wait until the time is right, and then fight successfully. In the battle between the two armies, it seemed that losing to Huang Fuchao's plan was no longer a shame. As for the great victory at Wufeng Mountain, it was probably because the scholar was ill and had to change his commander at the last moment, so the royal court arrested him. Most of the people under the rule of Wang Ting thought of this rare chance of victory. Therefore, even if Wen Yu stationed troops in the Luzhou Barrier and failed to regain the lost ground, he did not lose any popular support.
Most of the people of the Yuan Dynasty who have experienced the bleak situation of the Royal Court in the past can understand that the sufferings suffered by the Royal Court along the way are extremely serious. With the current situation, it can be said that they are grateful to God for their favor. War will make people know many things that they didn't know before, but the price is too heavy.
But at this cold winter night, no one knew that outside the barrier, there was a team of more than ten people, slowly going down the mountain wall, using their hammers and chisels to dig holes in the smooth and hard ice, turning the hammers and chisels into In order to settle down, strong winds came from time to time, and the body of this group of soldiers swayed to the west. Fortunately, they were held by ropes.
Because of this, no one has ever stumbled or fallen.
These strong soldiers are all wearing scale armor, which is obviously lighter than the armor of ordinary soldiers, but the armor is more elaborate, which seems to cost a lot of money, and everyone has a bow on their shoulders and a rope with hooks and claws hanging on their waist. With two cloth bags, swords and knives on their backs, and firewood in their mouths, they walked one by one along the smooth mirror-like mountain wall.
They climbed down, and then gathered around the leader. There was no sound at all. It was obvious that the soles of the fast boots were padded with soft dry grass, and there was no sound at all.
Where there are clumps of dead grass at the foot of the mountain wall, new wine is poured out.
The leading soldier held a purple-sheathed long sword in his hand. He leaned on the sword and poured drinks on the ground together with the other soldiers. Then he stood up and took a look at the rest of the scenery, which was difficult to see through the flying snow. Just frowned.
"At this time of day, there are no horses on the road. If we are attacked by the enemy, we will most likely lose our lives. I have been pressing hard in recent days, otherwise I really wouldn't want to gamble."
A soldier next to him grinned. He happened to be missing an incisor, which caused air leakage when he opened his mouth. He didn't know whether it was because of the cold weather or because he was missing the incisor. He said vaguely, "Let me tell you, boss. It's all a matter of leisure. You've only been here not long ago, and you can't sit still. Otherwise, with this skill, if the war breaks out again in the future, you may not be able to recruit a general to do it. No matter how to lead the army, I'm afraid it will be like this. The official position is still rising, so why bother to do this kind of hard work day by day with us. Look at these brothers who fell to death in the past. Even if they have never met, they still know that the end is quite disastrous, why bother? Come."
"That's true. If you really want to be safe, how can you come to this kind of land." The soldier holding the long sword grinned. He suddenly thought of something, then waved to everyone, and walked towards the deep and dark snowy night. go.
Tang Bufeng stayed in Dayuan for a very long time. Ever since Kuai Ma left Mocheng, he had never stayed in a country for such a long time. He first traveled between tribes, and then went to Luzhou Barrier.
I did take the time to meet Yunzhong once during this period, but it was not really a pleasant conversation. He did not leave after that. Instead, he simply stayed in Luzhou and later joined the army. Even though he had some friendship with Yunzhong , according to Wen Yu's intention, naturally he wanted to be given a job that was quite leisurely on weekdays, but Tang Bufeng declined politely. He wanted to come to this small number of soldiers to spy on the military situation outside the barrier. ordinary soldiers.
After the battle at Wufeng Mountain, those in the Zhengzhang Royal Court who were well versed in the art of military affairs secretly discussed the matter. After the Luzhou Barrier was completed, a special force of only twenty or thirty people was set up to spy on the military situation. , for the entire Luzhou fortress to first explore the layout of Xumeng Mansion, and also to explore the key passes to prepare for emergencies. If one day the royal court's soldiers and horses preemptively advance eastward, they can use this group of soldiers to break the situation first, destroy the outposts, and prepare for the battle. To ascend first, one needs to be someone who is extremely skilled and famous for fighting alone among the three armies. Perhaps it was because the battle at Wufeng Mountain by Yunzhong and the others was of great benefit and to seize the opportunity, or perhaps because they were still wary of the scholar who had heard that he was about to die, so they set up this pawn. The silver armor and white tassels on the helmet are similar to those of the crested goose in the Yuan Dynasty, so they are also called phoenix goose soldiers.
With Tang Bufeng's level of skill, it is more than enough to be the leader of Feng Yan soldiers. However, Wen Yu has not allowed Tang Bufeng to lead the soldiers until now. It is hard to say that it was not because Yun Zhong once said that Madman Tang's sword He is fast, but he is crazy. If this person is really allowed to take important positions, he will be able to make many military exploits. However, he really does not care about his life. Therefore, after weighing it again and again, it is not until the front line that Feng Yan is killed.
Leave it to Tang Bufeng to lead him.
And Tang Bufeng was really brave. After leading his troops out of the fortress several times, he found two or three places where Xumeng's grain was being stored. With more than ten infantry, these places were burned to the ground. , killed more than a hundred enemies, but only five of Feng Yan's soldiers were lost. Almost all the garrison defenses within thirty miles to the east were discovered, and the map scroll was handed over to Wen Yu.
This swordsman, who has practiced swordsmanship for many years and is especially famous for his sharp swords, is not only cruel to himself, but also has his own opinions on war. He was supposed to be the Fengyan soldier who caused some trouble for Xumeng Mansion's soldiers with his sparse infantry. , was handed into the hands of Madman Tang, but it turned into a sharp knife, which silently pierced the Xu Meng Mansion camp from the Luzhou barrier, causing heavy casualties and even cutting off several exploration horses. Total victory.
To Madman Tang, it seemed like the only thing in the world where he could practice his sword skills and advance in cultivation, but
Anything that is not meaningless can be done. Even though Ruan Qiubai has repeatedly stopped him, he has not spoken to Tang Bufeng for a long time, but he still frequently goes out of seclusion to practice swordsmanship and enlightenment between life and death, and even The Xumeng Mansion also had to deploy elite cavalry to patrol the camp and be on guard against the Fengyan soldiers causing trouble everywhere.
In the majestic Great Yuan Realm, there was heavy snow, and a group of people walked quickly through the indistinct snow line. They were already far away from the Xumeng Mansion camp, which was not clearly visible from the lights. They were only a short distance apart, but everyone was wearing silver armor and plain robes. Hidden in the snow, it was quite easy to walk along the way.
During this trip, Tang Bufeng wanted to remove all the outposts closest to the Xumeng Mansion camp, and take advantage of the chaos in the camp to move the tiger away from the mountain. When it was time to go out again, he could take advantage of it, so he didn't think too much about it at all and felt at ease.
Lying in the snow, waiting for the opportunity.
