Standing in the snake path, when Xu Mu raised his head, at some point, the first falling velvet had landed on his face.
"Lord, it's snowing! How come this year's snow has come so fast! Damn God!" Chen Sheng scolded his mother.
Xu Mu also frowned. Unexpectedly, this year's winter snow will come so early. Fortunately, he had already prepared and did not waste the dead wood and grass he had collected.
"Chen Sheng, tell the brothers to light the brazier to keep warm."
The so-called brazier is nothing more than taking off the iron helmet and heating up burning materials such as broken wood to keep warm. And of course, make some hot soup. The problem of getting water can be easily solved by laying down snow in winter.
The sky along the snake path was gray everywhere, and the thick fog kept pressing down, making people breathless.
Outside the snake path, Chang Sheng also looked up at the sky, with a long-lost smile on his face. He once put himself in the shoes of King Xu Shu, and found that there was no way to do anything in this situation, and it was snowing again. Unless, as Yan Pi said, he turned into a bird, grew wings, and then flew out of the snake path.
But this kind of thing is clearly impossible.
Man cannot be a bird, nor can he have wings.
Chang Sheng breathed out a comfortable breath, and even God was helping him. This year's snow came earlier than in previous years. The earlier it came, the sooner the Shu army in the snake path would die of hunger and cold.
"Do you have any information recently?" After a long time, Chang Sheng turned his head and looked at Yan Pi beside him.
"Little strategist, the sky has been filled with thick fog these past few days, and it's hard to see anything around. However, following the little strategist's wishes, many people were sent out, but nothing unusual was found."
"We also need to explore further places to prevent the Shu people from taking advantage of the loopholes." Chang Sheng frowned. He has always been cautious, and it was not easy this time to trap King Xu Shu here.
"Don't worry, little military advisor!"
Yan Pi's words made Chang Sheng relax a little.
But he didn't know... Not far away, relying on the thick fog, Fan Lu personally led his troops and carefully sneaked to reach another mountain not far away.
…
"Debate, and the direction of the wind!" Hidden in the mountains, Fan Lu gritted his teeth and spoke.
Looking around, there is thick fog. People in Beiyu have difficulty seeing, and so do they. Moreover, they have to do a great deed under such circumstances.
Several old soldiers received Fan Lu's military order and began to compare the map to identify the direction of the snake path. The snowflakes at this time have been falling for a long time, and there is already whiteness all around.
"Wear white clothes!"
One after another, Shu soldiers put on white robes and armor that confused their eyes.
Dozens of wooden kites, taking into account the weight of the soldiers, will not carry much, but if they go back and forth a few times, they can eventually transport a lot of supplies.
At this time, Fan Lu even wanted to take the two thousand people following him to kill the snake passage entrance and rescue his lord. But I heard that this time Chang Sheng was in charge, and there were tens of thousands of troops at both ends of the snake road. How difficult it was.
Several veterans who were arguing the direction of the debate turned around and reported back in a hurry. After receiving only the exact answer, Fan Lu couldn't wait any longer and immediately mobilized the first wooden kite, taking advantage of the wind direction and the cover of thick fog to slide towards the snake path.
…
"Ahem."
In the snake passage, there was no clothing to keep out the cold. There were already many soldiers who began to catch the wind and cold and began to cough.
Sitting in a built thatched shed, Xu Mu was avoiding the snow while having many thoughts on his mind.
Even though he was good at calculation and saved a lot of food and grass, as time went by, he was still almost exhausted. The horsemeat was also given to the sick and wounded first.
"If we can't wait any longer, we can only kill the war horse."
Xu Mu raised his head and glanced at General Feng, who was flexing his hooves. General Feng was startled, then hurriedly ran forward.
"Lord...this guy is going to become a sperm." Chen Sheng, who was next to him, twitched his mouth.
But he never thought that not long after General Feng ran out, he ran back happily with a tight animal skin bag in his mouth.
"Where did this guy grind it? It still smells like rice noodles." Chen Sheng paused for a moment.
Xu Mu looked overjoyed and stood up in a hurry. As he expected, Dongfang Jing was there, and he must have thought of the same place. He used wooden kites to take advantage of the thick fog and wind direction to drop food, grass and clothing.
"My lord, my lord!" Not long after, another general ran back.
"Lord, the sky is open! A lot of good things have fallen down! The brothers are picking them up desperately!"
"Pass my military order without making any noise." Xu Mu shouted in a low voice. These life-saving things, it is impossible to say, will be greatly beyond Chang Sheng's expectations.
When Xu Mu walked out of the hut, he suddenly heard another "bang" sound, falling on the frosty snow ground. Chen Sheng picked it up and opened it, and found out that it was a packet of spicy chili powder used to promote warmth.
"My lord has an order not to be made public."
The military orders were like a mountain, and after a while, the entire Snake Road became quiet again.
Xu Mu arranged a fixed number of people to pick up the fallen baggage and distribute it uniformly. According to his considerations, there were still 17,000 or 178 people in the snake passage, but it would take at least two or three days for dozens of wooden kites to deliver the basic supplies.
And there is another point. If Mu Yuan lands in the wrong direction, although it is covered by thick fog, it may be completely exposed if it hits the vicinity of the Beiyu Army.
…
"what sound?"
In a dense forest not far from the snake road, two Beiyu soldiers who were hanging Huangpao together raised their heads. Just now, they seemed to hear the sound of landing.
"Could it be a winter beast?"
A younger soldier cursed, started to lift his pants, grabbed his knife, and walked carefully towards the location of the sound.
Long time no see.
"Erhuang? My son Erhuang?"
Another veteran frowned, fastened his belt and looked forward. Suddenly, he thought of something again and quickly ran towards the camp.
Crack.
A short knife was thrown from behind and cut the leg of the old soldier from Beiyu. The old soldier roared and fell to the ground. He did not get up immediately, but held his neck, probably trying to use up all his strength.
"enemy--"
The word "enemy attack" has not yet been shouted. A Shu soldier in white armor ran over with a sullen face and covered his mouth. Then he picked up the dagger and silently slashed it across the old soldier's neck.
After confirming that they were completely dead, the white-armored Shu soldiers picked up the two corpses and carefully buried them in the snow.
call.
The Shu soldiers turned their backs to the sky, puffed out a mouthful of white mist, then rubbed their hands and hurried back to where the wooden kite landed. After packing up the curtain that had been lowered to the ground, he took off the two chariot wheels fastened to the wooden kite and embedded them underneath. Then he carefully pushed the wooden kite cart towards the mountains where the Shu soldiers were hiding.
Such a scene may still happen, but he believes that as long as the King of Shu can overcome the difficulties, the entire Western Shu will have inexhaustible strength until it conquers the Central Plains of Thirty States.
