Although it was a large-scale march, it was impossible for five thousand captains to march together on a mountainous road.
Jin Huanshan was still based in Zhenjiang County for the time being, and first sent two thousand captains as vanguards to build bridges and pave roads with materials and craftsmen.
The news came back, and Wu Nian's people blocked the mountain road again and destroyed the bridge.
Just do these sneaky things that are not done by humans.
The last time it rained, Li Dazui and others had difficulty marching. This time, they would have to go for at least ten days.
Therefore, to protect the grain road, there must be someone to attack the city, someone to support it, and someone to cut off the rear.
It was also bad luck, or maybe it was the anger of the Meng Yuan people.
Something happened as soon as they sent out troops.
Today's sky is already gray. It seems like it's going to rain.
Rain is not terrible, it just causes trouble.
The mansion and outer residence of Jinhuan Mountain.
Jin Huanshan stood in the corridor, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and a bearskin cloak on his back. He looked up at the sky with an ugly look on his face.
Bao Wei and Zhang Bu stood on his left and right sides, their expressions not very good.
"But it must not rain. If it rains, we will be delayed for another twenty or thirty days on the road." Bao Wei shivered from the cold and stamped his feet.
He was a county magistrate who surrendered to the Meng Yuan people, and he knew that he was also a thorn in Wu Nian's side. Of course he also regarded Wu Nian as a thorn in his side.
Seeing that the overwhelming situation is taking shape, don't make any trouble.
Zhang Bu's face turned even more ugly. He shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about rain. Because rain will only stop it for a while. But it will be different if it snows."
"Snowing?" Bao Wei was not from Liaodong and was slightly stunned.
"If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, even if I have a hundred thousand troops, I won't be able to climb the mountain." Jin Huanshan felt angry, so he flew up and kicked the pillar.
He was born with supernatural power, and the huge pillar couldn't bear it after he kicked it. It became a little crooked, and the tiles above his head fell down, crackling.
"Heavy snow seals the mountain?" Bao Wei was stunned again.
At this moment, God spoke.
"Bah, bang, bang!!!" Hailstones the size of eggs fell and hit the tiles, smashing them to pieces.
The house slaves and maidservants all over the house were scurrying around like headless flies.
Then heavy snow fell.
Winter comes from the north, but it can't resist the sky. It's really possible that the mountains will be closed due to heavy snow.
Even if Jinhuan Mountain has the courage of thousands of people, it will not be able to open the mountain, imitate Zhuge Liang, and call the wind and rain.
Zhang Bu shook his head, then shook his head again, and said, "If the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, not only will we not be able to enter the mountain, but Zhang Chongshui and Zhang Guang on the mountain will also be unable to get out."
"Wu Nian is full of tricks. I'm afraid they will be eaten by Wu Nian."
"hateful!!!!"
Jin Huanshan's face was ashen, he made a fist with his right hand and hit the pillar with all his strength.
Heaven and earth block strong troops.
Said in the art of war.
The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people.
Now Wu Nian not only occupies the advantageous location, but also has the people.
The day Wu Nianzhen beheaded Li Dazui.
Beishan Fort.
Wu Nian was not a god. He could calculate and calculate. He would not have expected heavy snow to close the mountains, although heavy snow in Liaodong was normal.
He was very worried.
After discussing with Li Yong and others, Wu Nian returned to the Fuhan General's Mansion to take charge in case of possible counterattacks by Zhang Chongshui and Zhang Guang.
But there was no counterattack for a long time, Wu Nian knew. These two Mongolian and Yuan commanders will not launch an attack.
Wu Nian called Li Yong, Zhang Jin, Liu Wu, Tieniu and others over again, and they all sat in the main room to talk.
"It seems that the Meng Yuan people are also self-aware. These two captains have no confidence in capturing us under such circumstances."
Wu Nian had already changed into a set of clothes and wiped his body. He didn't dare to take a shower because the wounds on his body were not healed yet. After a fight in the morning, the sores still burst. He sat on the main seat, holding a bowl of ginger tea and said with a smile.
"Hahaha."
Li Yong and others also laughed and felt refreshed.
There were times when the Meng Yuan people did not dare to attack the city because the sun was really shining in the west.
happy.
"In that case, let's reorganize the elite soldiers again. Restore the men and horses of the twelve hundred households, and distribute the armor we captured. Distribute it equally to each hundred households. Do a little training to prepare for the bloody battle in the future."
Wu Nian became serious and said. He still treated the situation as if Jin Huanshan might personally go on an expedition. Come and ask yourself to be adequately prepared.
And this requires the assistance of these generals.
"Yes." When everyone heard this, they immediately became serious and responded in unison.
This matter is simple to say, but very complicated. After a day of bloody fighting, the elite soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Militia must be mobilized to replenish elite soldiers, and wounded soldiers must be observed to see if they can regain their combat effectiveness.
This is not a game, and soldiers are not numbers. They are people of flesh and blood.
Zhang Chongshui and Zhang Guang did not fight back, which also gave Wu Nian a chance to breathe.
Now Wu Nian is waiting for the results of the publicity to see if anyone will join him and increase his strength.
After all, it has come to an end for the time being. Wu Nian thought for a moment and did not stay in General Fu Han's mansion for long. He took a group of soldiers and returned to his mansion.
"Brother, I'll make delicious food for you." Seeing that Wu Nian came back safely, Liu Xiang was very happy. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to cook herself and make delicious food for Wu Nian.
Although her cooking is not as delicious as the cook's.
But the feeling is warm.
"Okay. I haven't eaten the food you cooked for a long time." Wu Nian stretched out his hand and pinched her voluptuous face.
Wu went to help.
Wu Nian picked up his daughter Li Ya and said some words to Zhang Zhen. Then he went to the back house to visit Mrs. Chen.
Wang Ruyan and Xiaohong are still staying in the barracks, taking care of the wounded soldiers. These are the only people in the family now.
Chen was already weak and sickly, and became even more frail after the plague. Wang Ruyan said that she was pregnant and the century-old ginseng could only be eaten after giving birth.
Due date, in February.
It won't be long before Wu Nian will have a child.
"Master. You're back." Mrs. Chen was lying on the bed to rest, covered with a thick quilt. Although she was weak, her face was quite rosy and she looked good. When she saw Wu Nian coming in, she wanted to greet him, but was stopped by Wu Nian.
I don’t know when she started calling Wu Nian “Master”.
"Sister, you lie down obediently." Wu Nian quickly stopped her, then came to sit on the edge of the bed, reached into the bed, and grabbed her little hand.
Her little hands were warm and soft.
Wu Nian had not slept with Mrs. Chen for a long time, and this woman was so open in the boudoir, which made him very happy. Holding her hand at this time, Wu Nian couldn't help but have some distracting thoughts, but he quickly let go.
There is still a child in her belly.
Wu Nian and Chen talked for a long time, and finally Chen got tired, her eyelids twitched as she talked, and she fell asleep. Wu Nian carefully pulled the quilt for her.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Wu Nian also wanted to sleep.
During this period, he slept on the city gate tower and was restless. There was another bloody battle with the Meng Yuan people, and a lot of blood was shed, and the wounds would not heal for a while.
During the fight, he didn't feel it yet. But when not fighting, fatigue is like water from the Yangtze River, endless.
However, Wu Nian still held on, ate the food cooked by Liu Xiang and Wu himself, and then went to the bedroom to sleep.
This sleep lasted until midnight.
Wu Nian didn't wake up by himself, but was woken up.
