Chapter 407 Disaster strikes

"You expose all the other people's shame. Not to mention that it is not good for you. If you join the army in the future, no one will pay attention to you."

As Wen Wen spoke, he threw out an old K.

Yun Chu took out an A-card and put it on his face and said, "I am a civil servant."

Gawain threw out a 2-card card and put it on the board and said: "Yes, you must stand correctly when standing. People who have both sides are only suitable for small officials. When the official position becomes high, there is no room for jumping left and right.

The junior official doesn't have access to things that are too deep. The two sides may need him to convey a message, and he still has room to move.

However, such a person can only be a petty official in his whole life and will not be promising."

Zhang Donghai threw out a Xiao Wang card, took the K and put it in front of him and said: "They all work together in the same court, and they know what to do so clearly."

Yun Chu took away the extra cards and said to Zhang Donghai: "Because there is only one majesty, the generals hope that your majesty will be close to them, and the civil servants also hope that your majesty will be close to them.

No matter who your Majesty is close to, everyone can gain a lot of benefits, so you can just treat this matter as a battle of interests."

Wen Wenwen took a look at his cards, threw them all out, and said to Zhang Donghai: "Your king came out too early, we lost this round."

Zhang Donghai took out another king card from the cards and said: "The king is here with me, you surrendered too early."

Wenwen looked at Yunchu and said, "Why do you act like you have the king in your hands?"

Yun Chu dropped the cards with a smile and said: "A soldier never tires of deceit."

Wen Wenwen picked up the teapot and filled the four people present with tea and said, "Why did you do things so decisively this time?"

Yun Chu held the tea cup and said: "Because the military generals have lost their persistence and bravery. Now it seems that these people can still fight and expand territories. That's because there are still some veteran generals such as Ying Gong who are still doing the job.

Once Duke Ying and Duke Su are gone, you see, they will immediately lose the ability to fight a big war.

Of course, I don't have such ability at the moment, but I have an advantage that others can't match.

For example, when attacking a city, if I find that the opponent's city is too strong, I can come up with something like a giant trebuchet to smash through the city wall.

When I see that being attacked by another city will cause serious losses, I will take advantage of the enemy's loopholes and set fire to it.

Since ancient times, people like Ying Gong and Su Gong can be called famous generals. As for the rest, they can only be described as warriors."

Zhang Donghai listened carefully to what Yun Chu said and couldn't help but ask: "Why does the general look down on those generals?"

Yun Chu smiled softly and said, "Because they have lost their honor as soldiers and have become less pure.

Protecting the home and country is the duty and honor of a soldier. If other things are mixed with these two things, then you are not worthy of being called a soldier.

The more a soldier's thoughts are focused on the soldier himself, the better. When the soldier starts doing civilian work, it will be the beginning of a catastrophe."

Zhang Donghai seemed to understand Yun Chu's words, sighed, and threw away the good cards in his hand. After all, his opponent Wen Rou had surrendered.



At dawn, a rare blizzard hit Dahang City. In just two hours, the white snow swept by the wind accumulated as high as the windowsill.

Yun Chu was very worried about Zhong Kui who was on his way back, and just hoped that they could find a good shelter to survive this heavy snowfall.

Once the blizzard in Liaodong comes, it basically freezes the entire world. Even the waves in the bustling harbor in the past seem to have been frozen by the cold, standing on the seaside, looking like they are preying on people.

All the empty ships in the harbor have been towed to the shore. Once the big ship is frozen in the water, the ship will basically be useless after the beginning of spring.

Dahang City is quiet and quiet. Most of the military supplies have been delivered. The remaining military supplies rope is the most troublesome thing. Fortunately, when the city is closed due to heavy snow, this job can be done at home.

A group of cavalry braved the wind and snow to arrive outside Dahang City.

At this time, Dahang City had been closed. The cavalry shouted loudly in the wind and snow, but the defenders at the top of the city pretended not to hear them.

Only a fool would open the city gate in such weather and let a group of unknown soldiers enter the city.

It was not until the defenders discovered that there was a group of Lao Chang behind the cavalry that they blew the horns and prepared to meet the enemy.

Siluke

When Yun Chu put on his armor and came to the top of the city, the first thing he saw was Lao He, whose face was full of snot due to the severe cold, and Lao Huang, who had wrapped himself up like a bear.

Yun Chu didn't understand why they appeared outside Dahang City at this time, so he led a group of soldiers from another city gate to watch behind them. After confirming that there was no danger, he ordered the soldiers at the top of the city to open the city.

Open the door to allow these refugees to enter Dahang City.

Lao He and Lao Huang were so cold that they could not speak. When Yun Chu took them off the horse, the two of them still looked like they were sitting astride the horse.

After being carried into the city lord's palace by Yunchu's soldiers, they immediately took off their brand-new armors, wrapped them in quilts, and threw a lot of firewood into the stove to heat them up.

Even Lao He and Lao Huang were like this. The doctors and craftsmen under their command suffered even more heavy losses, especially among the hundreds of wounded who were pulled back by Lao He with a sledge, less than ten were alive.

As for the rest, they can only be piled up against the courtyard wall and dealt with after the snowstorm.

People like Lao Huang and Lao He, including the wounded soldiers who had frozen to death, had an extremely strong smell of alcohol.

This may be the main reason for their death.

Drinking alcohol can indeed make people feel warmer, but the problem is that doing so will only make the heat in the body dissipate faster. In other words, drinking strong alcohol in such weather will not only not help keep warm, but it will also be a way to die.

Slowly, the bodies of Lao Huang and Lao He gradually softened, and then they fell asleep. To be precise, they were drunk.

Wen Wen walked in, first checked the conditions of Lao He and Lao Huang, and then said to Yun Chu with a gloomy face: "When they were camping, they were attacked by a group of unknown people. Captain Zhe Chong who escorted them died in the battle.

Without the protection of their tents, Lao Huang and Lao He could only run twenty miles in the heavy snow to Dahang City for help."



Yun Chu looked at the corpses of Tang people piled beside the courtyard wall and said, "When the snowstorm is over, we must find these people and cut them into pieces."

Wen Wen sighed and said: "The casualties are heavy. Zhang Donghai has already led his people along the way they came to search for the lone soldiers. I don't know how many can be saved."

In the evening, Zhang Donghai returned with his men and brought back less than fifty soldiers who were half-frozen to death.

Yunchu looked at Zhang Donghai, whose beard was covered with ice chips, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Zhang Donghai shivered for a long time before saying: "The camp has been destroyed. The body of Captain Zhe Chong was found. He died in a fierce battle. There were as many as 230 soldiers who died beside him."

Yun Chu looked at the darkening sky and the snow all over the sky and said, "Go and have a rest. Everything will have to wait until the snowstorm stops."

In the middle of the night, Lao He began to have a high fever, and his mouth was trembling and he shouted Yunchu, please help me.

After all, Lao Huang was a martial artist. After taking a nap and being fed a lot of hot soup, although his spirit was sluggish, he finally woke up.

The originally tense body relaxed the moment he saw Yun Chu, and said to Yun Chu: "Go and rescue Captain Li quickly. The people who come are strong men, they can't beat them."

After Yun Chu helped Lao Huang lie down, he slowly said: "Li Duwei and others have died in the battle, and there are less than fifty soldiers who survived."

Tears slowly oozed out of the corners of Lao Huang's eyes, and after a long time he said: "Of the five hundred soldiers in the two regiments, only fifty survived?"

Seeing that Lao Huang was in poor spirits, Yun Chu covered him with a quilt and said, "Have a good sleep. No matter who harmed these soldiers, I will not let them continue to live in this world."

The blizzard continued for two days and seemed to stop suddenly in the early morning.

After the snow foam and dust all over the sky settled, the blue sky was revealed, and at the same time, there was the temperatureless sun hanging in the sky.

The snow has stopped, but the weather has become increasingly cold. The hot air breathed out of the nose has no time to leave the nasal cavity, and it seems to be frozen on the nose.

Outside the city, there was a vast expanse of white, and the snow under the front city wall was even more than a foot thick.

In such weather, people should stay in the city or house. If you run outside casually, you will soon be completely frozen.

Therefore, Yunchu did not send an army out of the city.

Now, there is a military force outside the city that can easily kill five hundred experienced Longyou Daofu soldiers. Leaving the city easily is not a good choice.

In just these two days, Yunchu finally learned what happened to them from the mouths of these living people.

Big trouble.

Among the wounded soldiers who froze to death, the lowest-ranking one was also a deputy lieutenant accompanying the army, and the highest-ranking one was Chang Heng, the guerrilla general who guarded the gate.

It can be said that among the more than 80 people who froze to death, all were the most critical grassroots generals in the Tang army.

It was because of the importance that the Eastern Expedition Army allowed Lao He and Lao Huang to take these people back to Dahang City to recuperate.

When walking to a place less than thirty miles away from Dahang City, the blizzard became heavier and heavier, and there was really no way to move. In order to take care of these wounded soldiers, Lao He ordered to camp on the spot, preparing to wait for the blizzard to pass before going to Dahang City.

Traveling to the city.

No one could imagine that there would be any enemies in the area controlled by the Tang army in such weather.

Just when everyone was setting up camp and preparing to get some hot food to eat, a group of men in white clothes hidden under the white snow suddenly came out.

Captain Zhe Chong of the Tang Dynasty hurriedly accepted the challenge. Unexpectedly, many soldiers were killed by the opponent as soon as they met.

Lao Huang was also an experienced man and immediately ordered all the soldiers to respond to the enemy. They hurriedly loaded the wounded soldiers onto sledges, and under the protection of Lieutenant Zhe Chong, they fought their way straight to Dahang City.

"Can the identities of those people be determined?" Yunchu asked the experienced Lao Huang. He believed that Lao Huang would be able to identify those people as long as they opened their mouths.

Lao Huang shook his head and said: "No one said anything. Each of them had a wooden stick in their mouth. It was Xian Mei who launched the attack."
