"I think your strategy is feasible. The snow is so thick that horses are useless. Infantry has the advantage."
Wu Chuchu specializes in leading infantry, and she first agrees.
"I also think it's feasible. We can use the divine arm bow to attack from a distance."
Dugu Jiali's horse archers brought divine arm bows, which came in handy.
When the snow is deep, the barbarian cavalry moves slowly and becomes a living target.
"But...will they come?"
Emperor Lingyi was a little worried. Yeluhong was not a fool. He also knew that fighting in blizzard weather was not conducive to cavalry.
"I have already let the news out, saying that many of our soldiers have died from the cold. After Yeluhong knows the news, he will definitely attack. This is his last chance to win!"
The words he just said to Tuzhi were bait. After Yeluhong gets the news, he will definitely attack with all his strength.
The blizzard is Yeluhong's last trump card, and this attack is also his last hope.
"Okay, then prepare according to this plan."
The emperor ordered Yi to stand up, and other generals made their own arrangements.
All the Zhou troops returned to their tents, and everyone ate, drank, and urinated inside the tent, and were not allowed to show their heads.
At the same time, Long Chen ordered some people to spread the news, saying that many of the Zhou troops froze to death.
When Tuji returned to the camp, his face looked a little ugly. When Hallie saw him, he hurriedly worshiped: "Chanyu."
Tu Zhi nodded slightly and said: "Tell everyone to be ready for battle, Yeluhong may attack at any time."
Halle nodded, and then asked: "Chanyu, is everything okay with the Zhou army?"
Halle was the leader of the barbarians. He also knew that the snowstorm was a disaster for Zhou Dynasty, so he asked tentatively.
Tu Zhi, however, turned cold and scolded: "General Long's affairs are not your place to ask."
"Tell King Zuo Xian and King You Xian again to prepare for battle."
Hallel quickly replied: "I obey my orders."
After leaving the tent, Halle found Yelvxiong and Yelvsu, who were holding lambs to keep warm.
"Halle, did you hear the news?"
Yelvxiong shrank and asked.
"News about the Zhou army?"
Hallel tied the tent straps and put his hands into his sleeves.
"Yes, how is the situation with Long Chengen?"
Yelvsu asked very carefully.
Halle whispered: "I asked Tuzhi, but he was very unhappy and told me not to ask!"
Yelvsu nodded slightly and said meaningfully: "It seems that the rumors are true. Many people in the Zhou army froze to death."
Hallel asked: "Where did you get the news?"
Yeluxiong said: "It's been rumored. Look at their tents. They are all lifeless. I think the people inside are freezing to death. They don't have any lambs to hold and sleep in."
Yelvsu said: "It's not that there are no lambs. They don't understand. The temperature dropped suddenly last night and it's normal for them to freeze to death."
In their opinion, the only way to avoid freezing to death is to sleep with a lamb in your arms.
Hallie nodded slightly and said: "Tuzhi relies on Long Chengen's support. If Long Chengen's army freezes to death, we..."
Yeluxiong whispered: "Why don't we kill Long Chengen and take his head to see Shanyu."
Yelvsu objected and said: "Even if Long Chengen's army freezes to death, we are no match for him."
"The safest way is for us to leave with our confidants, and the army will not move. By the time Long Chengen finds out, we have already gone far."
They knew how powerful Long Chen was and didn't dare to make too much noise.
"Yes, if we are chased, we can't escape. The snow is too heavy now."
Hallel also agreed with Yelvsu.
When leaving here, it is best to take your own people with you and return to Yeluhong to ask for forgiveness.
But now I have no choice but to flee with my confidants.
"Should we inform the other leaders to go together?"
"No, we can't do this. If a traitor appears, none of us will be able to leave."
"Then let's go now."
The three of them quietly took their confidants with them, braved the wind and snow, and left Ahebo immediately.
Long Chen came out of the tent and arrived at Chen Dong's camp.
The Tianxiahui has more than 3,000 people responsible for transporting supplies, and the scale is not small. The camp is south of Ahebo.
Chen Dong arranged the camp in this place to prevent Yeluhong from becoming a human shield during a sneak attack.
Entering the tent, Chen Dong was settling accounts with Mr. Wu.
"General Long, are your people okay?"
Chen Dong stood up to greet him warmly.
"Thanks to your warm supplies, we are all fine."
Long Chen sat down, and Mr. Wu picked up the hot tea on the coal stove and poured a cup for Long Chen.
"You're welcome, General, you've given me a lot."
Chen Dong smiled happily, and Mr. Wu nodded and smiled beside him.
It seems that this business is a good deal.
"I heard some rumors just now that General Long's army suffered a lot of casualties, but it doesn't seem to be true."
"I spread that on purpose."
"The general spread it? Who is it for? It's not for us, is it?"
"Yes, it's just for shopkeeper Chen. I spent a lot of money, but I got a bargain."
All three of them laughed.
Mr. Wu, the accountant, laughed and said: "I have heard that General Long is humorous. It is true. He has no airs of a general."
"I have dealt with Jing Tianlie before. That general is very impressive."
Tianxiahui has a lot of business, so it's not surprising that he has done it with Jing Tianlie, and there is nothing to hide.
"Mr. Wu praised me so much, but he didn't even give me a preferential price."
Long Chen took a sip of tea.
"This is Tianxiahui's business, and even I can't decide it."
"If it's a shabby business, I'll definitely give you a friendly price."
Mr. Wu is not as rigid as last time, and his attitude is much more casual.
"Shopkeeper, our sheep have run away!"
A young man came in and said anxiously.
This time they captured a lot of barbarian cattle and sheep, and Long Chen sold some to Chen Dong.
"How much did he run away? Mr. Wu, go and have a look."
Mr. Wu hesitated for a moment, then got up and went out.
"Yelühong's wife and children are hiding in the Kent Mountains, guarded by more than a thousand guards."
After Chen Dong finished speaking, Long Chen immediately stood up and left the tent, just in time to see Mr. Wu coming back.
"Have you found the sheep?"
Long Chen asked with some surprise.
Having just gone out and returned, this Mr. Wu obviously does not believe Chen Dong.
"Not yet. They said they lost a lot. I'm here to ask the shopkeeper for instructions."
Mr. Wu's expression remained unchanged.
"Okay, you guys are busy, I'll leave first."
Long Chen got up and returned to the camp. Bai Tingting hurried over and said, "Sir, it's not good, Ye Luxiong and the other three ran away!"
Long Chen's face turned stern and he cursed: "We should have killed them long ago!"
The two hurried back to the camp, and Mr. Wu heard it from the side.
Chen Dong walked out, watched Long Chen leave, and asked: "What did you just say?"
Mr. Wu replied: "The three Ye Luxiongs ran away."
Chen Dong frowned and said: "The situation may not be good. We must be prepared to retreat to avoid harming Chi Yu."
Mr. Wu nodded...
"Where's the sheep? Found it?"
Chen Dong asked Mr. Wu the same question, and Mr. Wu quickly said: "No, I forgot to wear a hat. It's too cold."
"Go get your hat quickly and I'll go with you."
Mr. Wu went into the tent, took his hat, and went to look for sheep with Chen Dong.
