Chapter 487
At noon on the 175th day of the apocalypse, Li Menghua and Liu Chuan formally reached a strategic partnership, officially joined the alliance, and opened Langfang City to allow the coalition forces to officially enter Langfang City.
Liu Chuan's Guardian Alliance completely occupied Langfang City and became the first alliance to threaten the imperial capital. Langfang City and the five affiliated towns form a complementary relationship, which can be attacked, defended, advanced or retreated.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, representatives of various forces in the alliance held a military conference in Langfang City.
In order to make up for the losses from previous fierce battles, the alliance plans to temporarily stop launching large-scale wars, and instead use small-scale friction and harassment to explore the truth. At the same time, materials, weapons and armor from various places on the southern front began to be transported to Langfang City to prepare for the next war.
In addition, in order to reward everyone for defeating the Xiaotian Army, the alliance plans to hold a grand banquet tonight to celebrate and reward the three armies.
On the other side, in the snowy forest on the east coast of the Land of Snow, Jiang Feng and Su Kouye's 200,000 troops were temporarily stationed here.
Prior to this, it took Jiang Feng and Su Kouye more than two days to cross the glacier zone. During this period, they encountered numerous ambushes. Fortunately, no major casualties were caused, and all supplies and equipment were not damaged. However, after arriving in the snowy forest, the entire army was in trouble.
This forest is huge and the trees are extremely tall, making it very suitable for ambushes. It is no exaggeration to say that every time the army travels 1 kilometer on average, it will encounter a major ambush.
In order to reorganize the troops and relieve fatigue, Jiang Feng ordered the army to temporarily station here.
In a tent, Jiang Feng and Su Kouye, wearing thick coats, were discussing their next actions.
On a large table, there are many models to represent the general terrain of the snowy forest.
"Jiang Feng, are you sure you want to station here? This is a very suitable place for an ambush. The Kingdom of Snow will definitely do everything possible to harass and hinder us." Su Kouye felt that the snow forest was a place not suitable for staying for a long time.
It wasn't that Jiang Feng didn't understand Su Kouye's thoughts. He explained: "If we continue to move forward, we will encounter an ambush. When we don't know where the ambush is, the soldiers will not have time to react. If we don't move forward, We will also encounter ambushes, but we can determine the location of the ambush, and the soldiers can react quickly and prepare a counterattack."
"No, you mean to deliberately station the army to lure the enemy to attack us?"
"Almost, but the enemy may not be that stupid. In short, let's stay and rest before I think of countermeasures."
"200,000 troops are stationed in the dense forest. I'm worried that the enemy will attack with fire." Su Kouye said worriedly.
Jiang Feng smiled: "Have you watched too much? Or have you watched too many TV series?"
"What?" Su Kouye didn't understand what Jiang Feng meant for a moment.
"Su Kouye, I find that when I'm not around you, you seem to be smarter, your ideas are more jumping, and you can always make very good decisions. But after I'm around you, you seem to be slow."
"What do you mean by this?" Su Kou Ye was a little unhappy.
"Nothing, just think about it yourself. Do you think the enemy will attack with fire?"
After hearing this, Su Kouye thought for a few seconds, and then said sheepishly: "Well, it's true that it won't happen. I thought too fast just now."
"tell me the story."
"First: This is a snowy forest. There is snow in the dense forest, and the leaves on the big trees are also covered with thick snow. If the opponent uses fire to attack the camp, as long as the soldiers run out and kick the big trees, it will be crazy Falling snow can easily extinguish the fire. Second, the fire attack in the TV series has little effect in our era, because ordinary flames can only burn our tents and cannot cause effective damage to our soldiers. Third , flames have no effect on siege engines, weapons, armor, etc., all of which are non-flammable. To sum up, if the enemy uses fire attacks, they can only burn down cheap tents. Not only does it have no other effect, but it will also expose them. Own."
"Oh my God, you said a bunch of things."
"What? Can it be more concise?"
"It's not concise. Let me put it simply. The enemy cannot attack with fire because there is no open flame in the snowy forest."
"How is it possible? It won't work even with gasoline?" Su Kouye said in disbelief.
"I started investigating when I entered the forest. There is a substance invisible to the naked eye floating in the air in the forest. I named it snow. It can extinguish all open flames, even with gasoline."
"Really?" Su Kouye didn't believe it. He started to look around to see if there was any gasoline, and planned to light it up to try.
"Didn't you notice? Ever since we entered this forest, it has become extremely cold."
"No, it's been cold since we came to the north."
"You kept exploding some strength to keep out the cold, so you didn't feel the subtle difference. This snowy forest is actually colder than the glacier zone, and the longer we stay, the colder it gets."
"Really?" Su Kouye asked suspiciously, because he couldn't feel any difference. Anyway, it has been so cold since entering the north.
"Well, it's not your fault. Most soldiers are like you. In order to prevent themselves from feeling the cold, they specially increase their strength, so they don't notice any abnormal changes."
"So what's the temperature difference between snowy forests and glacial areas?"
"Well, the glacier zone is minus 30 degrees, and the snowy forest is minus 31 degrees. It's a full degree difference."
After hearing this, Su Kouye's eyes widened: "Fuck, so it's only one degree difference? You said it so seriously and seriously, so it's only one degree difference? Which normal person would pay attention to the temperature difference of one degree? ?Did you make a mistake?"
"Hey, one degree, it's exactly one degree off, can't you feel it?"
"Brother, can you be normal? Who cares about this once or twice." Su Kouye couldn't help but complain.
"Okay, okay, this kind of subtle change is really difficult for you to detect. Anyway, the longer we stay in the forest, the more snow will be in our bodies, and we will get colder and colder by then. .”
"So, how long will this take?"
"About 0.5 degrees per hour."
"So? What is your focus?" Su Kouye asked.
"The point is, the longer we stay, the colder it will get."
"So? What's the point?"
"Don't you understand? We will get colder and colder, and then the enemy will also get colder and colder."
"So? What's your point?"
"Don't you understand enough? As long as we stay here for one day, the soldiers must maintain a high strength state to keep out the cold, and the same goes for the enemy soldiers.
"Okay, okay, I understand. Because our soldiers are of very high quality, while the enemy's soldiers are of low quality, they will not be able to hold on and leave the snowy forest automatically. Then we can pass through the forest without any obstacles." Su Kouye understood instantly.
"Yes, you finally figured it out." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"I..." Su Kouye was speechless. Although he was very unhappy, he had to admire Jiang Feng's observation and ability to detect changes that ordinary people could not detect.
"You, although you have a very good mind, you are still a bit immature when it comes to marching and fighting." Jiang Feng continued to tease.
"Have you said enough? Can you give me some face?"
"Okay, okay, since you are several years older than me, I will let you go." Jiang Feng said with a smile.
"Are you done?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came: "What's going on? So happy."
Su Kouye turned his head and looked around, it was Song Yuan who was walking into the tent.
"Song Yuan, let me ask you, were you the one who told Jiang Feng about the snow quality?" Su Kouye asked.
"Yeah, you know it too?"
"Ahem, Song Yuan, what's the matter with you?" Jiang Feng suddenly interrupted.
"Jiang Feng, please don't interrupt. I don't believe it. No matter how smart you are, you can't be smart enough to pay attention to the temperature difference of 1 degree. What's more, what you said is clear and logical, and the quality of the snow is high. How come such awesome materials are not used by you?" Found it, are you a scientist? This discovery of snow quality must have been divined by Song Yuan." Su Kouye looked unconvinced.
"Haha, Su Kouye, don't be unconvinced, this is what I discovered. Song Yuan, right? I discovered the snow quality thing." Jiang Feng winked at Song Yuan's mission.
"Damn it, why are you blinking? Can you blink more obviously?" Su Kouye noticed Jiang Feng's little move.
"Okay, okay, please stop making trouble. Is it appropriate for two old men to make such a fuss? The matter of snow quality is indeed the result of divination." Song Yuan said with a smile.
"Wow, my God, my heart felt so comfortable instantly. Let me just say, I can feel even a temperature difference of 1 degree. It's simply not something that humans can do.
"Okay, everyone, please be serious. By the way, Song Yuan, what do you want?" Jiang Feng asked.
"The Southern Signal Corps has arrived, and the Liu Chuan Alliance defeated Xiao Tian."
"Really or not? When did it happen?"
"It was two days ago. The Signal Corps came by helicopter. There were three helicopters in total. One of them was attacked. Another one crashed because of poor pilot skills and was not adapted to flying in harsh environments. But there were still people killed. Fortunately, one arrived successfully and found us."
"Great, where is the signal soldier? I'll go take a look." Su Kouye said anxiously.
"It's just in the easternmost part of the camp, at the simple sentry tower."
"Okay, I'll go take a look first." Su Kouye quickly ran out of the camp.
After Su Kouye left, Jiang Feng smiled at Song Yuan: "You are really getting smarter and smarter, Song Yuan, I really admire you."
"Are you saying that I deliberately said that the quality of the snow was divined by me just now?"
"Yes, you can actually understand the real purpose of my blinking."
"Hey, Jiang Feng, you better not blink next time. It's really hard to guess your intentions. I'm really afraid of guessing wrong."
"You've been following me for so long, haven't you become more and more comfortable with me?"
"By the way, are you so nice? You obviously discovered the snow quality issue, but you said it was me who divined it." Song Yuan asked.
"Well, Su Kouye is too competitive. He doesn't want to be weaker than me, and he doesn't like me to be much smarter than him. After all, he has always been a very confident person."
"It's not that he is competitive, but that he has too much self-esteem. Alas, who let him meet you? As long as you are around, no matter how bright his aura is, it will always be dimmer than yours."
"Are you praising me or hurting me?"
"Haha, you can understand it yourself."
On the other side, Su Kouye was gathering people to rush east.
On the way, he thought to himself: This Jiang Feng, alas, still values other people's feelings so much. In order to make me feel better, Song Yuan deliberately asked Song Yuan to say that the quality of the snow was determined by divination.
Somehow, Su Kouye felt a little inexplicable touch in his heart.
