"PS: I'm really sorry for yesterday's update. The author was too sleepy when he was writing the last paragraph last night. I wanted to lean on the chair and squint my eyes, but unexpectedly fell asleep. I'm really sorry. As for the discussion in the comments
Can the South build an ice city in one night? The author does not want to deceive everyone by saying that this book is an imaginary history. The background of this book draws on the Warring States Period two thousand years ago. The fire energy era caused minimal damage to the environment. Therefore, the climate at that time
It is at least 20 degrees cooler than today, and winter comes more than a month earlier than today, so it is okay. The final update question is that historical novels are too brain-burning, and the author is only an ordinary person, and there is really no way to write war plots.
Yu Li, if I write about daily plots in the future, there will be more, I hope for your understanding.』
————The following text————
"Overnight, an ice city was built...?!"
After receiving this urgent military information that he couldn't believe, Shouling Junjingshe couldn't sit still.
You must know that his original intention was to force the Wei prince Ji Run to withdraw the Wei army to the south of the Hui River. Unexpectedly, the other party actually used this strange trick to defeat his clever plan.
"Come here, prepare your horses."
He ordered his guards to prepare their horses, and Shouling Junjingshe immediately left the city and headed for twenty miles northeast of Juyang County.
He wanted to see with his own eyes whether the Wei army had really built an ice city on that piece of land.
About two hours later, Jing She arrived at that land despite the wind and snow. He was stunned to find that there was indeed an ice city standing in the wilderness covered by ice and snow.
"it turns out……"
With a tense face, Jingshe rode up to a high slope, squinted his eyes, and stood looking into the distance.
In the distance, he saw that the scale of the ice city was beyond his imagination. It was like an ice city on the scale of a heavy city. The ice wall, which looked like a city wall, was several miles across from east to west. It seemed that it was no less than a city of this size.
In Juyang County.
"How could such an ice city be built overnight?!"
Jing She was shocked and speechless.
Beside him, his general "Fei Zhuang" also had his eyes widened with a look of shock on his face.
Looking at the expression on the general's face as if he had seen a ghost, he seemed to be silently saying: How could this ghost thing be built overnight!
The cold wind at the moment was still blowing hard, causing Jing She's face to ache and her hands and feet to feel cold.
But the coldest thing is probably his heart.
Because he had realized that his clever plan had been thwarted by that Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
"Hehehe, hehehe..."
After taking a long breath, Shouling Junjingshe chuckled and murmured: "Is this your response, Mr. Wei Run?"
Perhaps in his eyes, the ice city in the distance was not just an ice city, but also the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, Ji Run, in response to his conspiracy: Do you want me to retreat? Absolutely impossible!
Suddenly, Jing She's face darkened, and he ordered decisively: "Fei Zhuang, you return to Juyang immediately and order Lord Juyang and Lord Yangcheng to send 50,000 troops each to attack this... Wei Jun Ice City!"
General Fei Zhuang was surprised when he heard this and said that the snow and ice at the moment were not conducive to marching and fighting.
However, before he could speak, Jing She seemed to have read through his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "The Wei army worked hard all night yesterday to build this ice city. They must be tired and tired now and cannot restore their strength.
…If we don’t destroy this ice city today, it will be even more difficult to drive the Wei army back to the north bank of the Huihe River in the future!”
After hearing this, Fei Zhuang was shocked, clasped his fists and ordered, "Follow the order!"
After saying that, he galloped towards Juyang County on his horse.
At this time, Shouling Jun Jingshe called out several people from his personal guards and ordered them: "You guys, immediately go to Caixi County Division, Xiyang County Division, Zhangyang Army, and Pengli Army.
The army is encamped, and the general is ordered to lead his army here. Today, we must destroy this ice city of the Wei army!"
"Follow the order!"
Several soldiers led the troops with clasped fists and scattered in all directions.
At this time, Shouling Junjingshe's eyes once again turned to the ice city in the distance, with a hint of awe flashing in his eyes.
After all, after putting aside the position of enemy and friend, he also admired Wei Gongzi Ji Run's strategy, and actually thought of using ice and snow to build a city.
"No wonder he was indifferent the past few days. It turned out that he was waiting for the ice and snow... What a genius!"
Thinking of this, Jingshe became more and more eager to destroy the ice city in the distance.
Because he knew very well that if he couldn't manage to destroy the ice city today, then after today, he might not have this chance again.
The problem is...
He looked up at the sky where ice and snow were still falling, and frowned slightly.
At the same time, in the ice and snow city in the distance, Zhao Hongrun led the Zong guards and Su Wang guards to inspect the construction level of the ice city.
He arrived here last night, and at the same time, most of the two armies of Yanling Army and Shangshui Army, as well as 50,000 newly surrendered Chu troops from Nanmenyang.
At this time, while Zhao Hongrun was inspecting the construction progress of the Ice City, Yan Mo, the commander-in-chief of the Yanling Army, and Wu Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Shangshui Army, were following His Royal Highness King Su, reporting to him the number of arriving troops from their respective armies.
After all, the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army were broken up into pieces some time ago. There are many generals leading their own small forces dispersed throughout Juyang County. The scope of activities even once extended to the Xinyang, Caixi, and Haoshang areas. Therefore,
Although Zhao Hongrun had already begun to gather scattered troops a few days ago when he learned that Shouling Junjingshe had ordered the burning of the mountains and forests in Juyang County, there were still many small groups of Wei troops scattered outside. Some did not have time to come back, and some did not.
Even the Green Crows had not yet found their whereabouts, so they were unable to convey Zhao Hongrun's order to them.
But even so, there are still about 100,000 Wei troops gathered in this ice city. Coupled with the ice city built overnight, it is not impossible for the Wei army to gain a firm foothold here.
After all, the Wei army already had a defensive stronghold and solved its biggest problem since they landed on the land south of the Wei River.
"The general is really impressed by His Highness's strategy...but is this ice city reliable?"
During the inspection, Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army who was temporarily in charge of the army because the general Qu Cheng failed to return, looked at the ice wall not far away and asked hesitantly.
It’s no wonder, after all, according to the “common sense” of contemporary people, ice is very fragile.
I believe that only Zhao Hongrun knows best here. In extremely cold weather, the strength of ice is infinitely close to that of steel, or even worse than that of steel.
This ice city is enough to last until February of next spring.
"Don't worry, the colder the weather, the stronger this ice city will be..." Zhao Hongrun said with confidence as he clasped his hands behind his back and looked at the ice wall not far away.
After hearing this, Yan Mo and Wu Ji felt relieved.
Immediately, Yan Mo couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Highness built an ice city overnight. Even Master Jingshe will probably be shocked."
After hearing this, several of the clan guards following Zhao Hongrun also felt somewhat worthy: Your Chu army thought that by burning down the nearby forests, our Wei army would not be able to build a camp? Ha! Your Highness, even if you use
Ice and snow can also build cities!
However, when Zhao Hongrun heard the name "Jingshe", he frowned slightly.
Not that he cared about the words "Lord Jingshe" that Yan Mo called out of respect for the other party. After all, Shouling Jun Jingshe's conduct and past deeds made even Zhao Hongrun respect this person.
What Zhao Hongrun cares about is Shouling Junjingshe's reaction after hearing about this ice city.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice: "Yan Mo, Wu Ji, don't be careless!... Our army cannot say that it has firmly established a foothold here. If I were Jing She, I would immediately launch an offensive." At this point.
, he ordered the second general: "Tell the soldiers to seize the time to fill their stomachs and rest. There is a chance that there will be a fierce battle today."
After hearing this, Yan Mo and Wu Ji looked at each other.
Wu Ji couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, the Chu army was probably frightened when they saw that our army built this ice city in one night. What's more, the ice and snow today are not conducive to marching and fighting. Lord Jingshe will not be so unwise.
Bar?"
Zhao Hongrun shook his head when he heard this and said in a deep voice: "If Jing She is really a man with broad vision, he should understand that if he cannot destroy this ice city of our army today, then it will be difficult for him to drive our army back to Hui."
On the north bank of the river, we can only watch helplessly as our army takes root here... According to my opinion, not only will he attack, but he will also launch the most ferocious offensive to date! Go quickly!"
"As you command!"
Yan Mo and Wu Ji clasped their fists and accepted the order, then retreated to prepare for the battle.
Zhao Hongrun, Zong Wei, Su Wangwei and others continued to inspect the construction work of this ice city.
After all, one night's time was not enough to build an ice city that could accommodate 100,000 Wei troops. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun ordered the construction of ice walls on the south, east, and west sides first.
If it is true as Wu Ji said, and the Chu army was frightened by the ice city that appeared overnight, that would be a great thing.
But having said that, facing a Chu hero like Shouling Jun Jingshe, Zhao Hongrun didn't dare to take any chances.
Thinking that your opponent will not think of your intentions and taking chances are the biggest "illusion" that will lead to defeat on the battlefield.
Facts have proved that Zhao Hongrun's judgment of overestimating the Shouling Junjingshe was accurate. About an hour later, the Wei soldiers patrolling outside Bingcheng reported back urgent military information, saying that there were several soldiers in the south, southwest, and southeast.
The troops of Lu and Chu gathered here, and their numbers were hard to estimate.
After hearing this urgent military situation, even Zhao Hongrun admired Shouling Jun Jingshe's decisive judgment. Of course, this admiration was inevitably tinged with depression and disappointment.
After all, how much he hoped that Lord Shouling Jingshe would be "frightened out of his wits" as Wu Ji said, and miss the best opportunity to attack the Wei army.
It's a pity that Shouling Junjingshe has seen a lot of storms and waves in his life. How could he be frightened by his small ice city?
However, although Zhao Hongrun was quite depressed in his heart, he did not show any signs of it on his face. Instead, he acted extremely strong in front of many Wei soldiers.
"Ha! Today there is ice and snow, and the Chu army dares to brave the wind and snow to attack our army. This is really a way to die! ... The right time, place, and people are with our army, how can the Chu army be invincible? Come on, everyone.
The army camps are preparing to meet the enemy, and I, the king, will be in charge personally!"
"oh--"
Perhaps because they built this ice city in one day, the morale of the Wei army was soaring. After all, they had never heard that ice and snow could be used to build a city.
Compared to the Wei army, the Chu army generals who were summoned by Shouling Junjingshe far outside the ice city showed a look of horror in front of the Wei army's ice city.
Because they all heard that the Wei army built this ice city overnight.
