Chapter 337: The Next City
"What the is so good!"
The Western Regions, outside the Lan clan in Kushan.
Perhaps in the Zhao Kingdom, this city should be called the Song Clan, because the King of Zhao had long enclosed this border town belonging to the Kushan Empire to Song Jian, the former self-proclaimed King of Heshou Ping Han and now the Song Marquis of the Zhao State.
Lu Yi scolded and scolded out of the thick yak tent, the well-forged armor outside the thick yak coat, the surrounding ubiquitous desert has disappeared, on their side is the snow-capped mountains, behind them is the towering green mountains. kicked on the buttocks of the sergeant standing upright outside the military tent, and saw the whole person fall straight to the ground, and he shouted twice and scolded: "Another fucking one is frozen, pull it down and rub it with snow...... Haven't found a suitable stone bullet yet! ”
This expeditionary force was not as scrappy as when it set out, they endured half the winter on the green ridge, and after entering the wax moon, it was too cold on the mountain, so they could only hold on to a road. Before they could meet the enemy, they lost thousands of men and horses.
There was no city, and it was far from enough to rely on the killing of yaks to make hides on the spot, and more soldiers froze to death at the foot of the Green Ridge Mountain. It's just that when he looked back at the green ridge, his neck was about to be broken, and he couldn't see the top of the mountain, let alone recognize the mountain road they walked down the mountain, so he had to give up this heart.
If they climb up again, they may not be able to go down alive, even if they die.
Before crossing the Green Ridge, Lu Yi scolded Chen Qun, the assassin of Liangzhou, 1,800 times day and night, if he had known that the depths of the Western Regions were like this, he would have let Chen Qun build the road first, and then he would come to war.
It's good now, it doesn't matter if Chen Qun repairs the road or not, anyway, no matter how much the road is repaired, it can't be repaired to the top of the green ridge, the grain and grass are all eaten, and the camels are all killed and eaten into their stomachs.
Cooperate tacitly.
After the end of the lunar month, Lu Yi originally had a huge army of more than 40,000 and only more than 30,000 left, and the morale had already collapsed, but the soldiers could not be dispersed. There is ice and snow everywhere, there is no escape, and there is only despair and despair in people's hearts.
As a result, Chen Qun's people came, and happily told Lu Yi that there was a road in the north of the Green Ridge, and it was far away, and if the baggage was sent slowly, they would not be able to find their traces. There was not much food in the baggage, because the grain was eaten by the people, but the split stone cannons were sent to the regents.
Lots of big wooden blocks.
By the way, the captain in charge of transporting the baggage was killed by the angry general Koji, because this brainless lieutenant repeatedly emphasized that it was the Koji who took the wrong path, which caused them to transport the baggage slowly.
Fart!
There are only soldiers in the world who take the wrong path, when has there ever been a general who has lost his way?
After killing him, he regretted it, why did he go back?
Fortunately, the stone cannon was there, and the army was loaded and pushed to the bottom of the Lan City, and the only remaining donkeys and horses were also killed, besieging the city for half a month, freezing Lu Yi like a second fool, and only cats could hide in the Chinese military tent all day long, and every morning you could see the sentry on night duty in the patrol camp that was frozen into ice, and Lu Yi scolded Chen Qun more than 1,800 times in the military tent.
Chen Qun sent him the stone cannon, which was good.
But the Liangzhou Thorn Shi did not send stone bullets.
Lu Yi especially wanted to burn a few sticks of incense for Chen Qun and worship him.
More than 20,000 regular troops and thousands of people suffered from the cold outside the Lan City for more than half a month, but they did not launch an attack on the city. The bastards of the strange kings in the city stood on the walls of the city all day and laughed at them...... According to this situation, before the Zhao army launched the first attack on the city, they would freeze to death before the arrival of next spring.
Koji Yi was also troubled by the stone bullet incident, the Lan clan city had enough trees, but not enough stone materials for them to make stone bullets, which meant that they had to make rudimentary ladders to attack the enemy city...... In the cold winter, there is no snow here like the north of Zhao Kingdom, the snow here is half a foot thick, and the city wall is so slippery that it is impossible to stand on people, stepping on the cloud ladder and rushing to the city, I am afraid that it will fall down hard.
"There must be a stone bullet to smash the city, this group of bitches laughs, wait for Lao Tzu to find the stone...... Kill them! ”
Whenever Lu Yi looked at the city fiercely, he saw those Kushan people looking at the city with a smile. The companies and battalions of the Zhao army simply could not bring enough deterrence to the enemy army in winter, but made enough jokes.
The horses and camels were killed and eaten, and there were hardly any four-legged animals to be found in the camp of the Tyranny, and as they saw that the food was about to be eaten, it might not be long before their sergeants would all be buried in this unfamiliar land.
Despair is the soil in which religion can take root and sprout.
Compared with Lu Yi's impatience, Zhang Lu is like a fish in water, this Heavenly Master of the Five Dou Mi Sect wears a thick coat and wanders around the camps of Wusun, Dawan and other countries in the Western Regions all day long, developing his followers. Now he doesn't have to accept five buckets of rice to join the religion - the development of believers needs to be adapted to local conditions, and now they can't even find a grain of rice, and the noodles sent by the baggage team are almost eaten.
Five-Sheet Leather Teaching.
Believers need to pay five animal skins to Zhang Tianshi to join Zhang Tianshi's sect, and the congregation will help each other, support each other in despair, and when their preaching has achieved enough results, they will be promoted to sacrificial wine, and sacrificial wine can get a warm coat made of yak hide.
For the sake of this coat, which symbolizes glory, piety, and warmth, the ghost pawns are more willing to hunt hard to obtain food, and give the raw animal skins to Zhang Tianshi.
No matter how impatient Lu Yi was, Zhang Lu knew that no matter how bad the situation was, even if everyone was going to die, his followers were the ones who lived to the end.
In despair, some seek hope by themselves, some leave hope to God's judgment, and some wait with a smile to see everyone's jokes. Just when everyone thought that their great expedition would turn into a gloom, a word woke everyone up.
"General, the ice is so hard, why don't you condense the water into ice and bombard the enemy city?"
The person who spoke was called Zang Hong, holding an ice ball squeezed from snow in his hand, weighing it slowly, and gently throwing it on the military tent, and also smashing it on Lu Yi's heart.
"Damn, why didn't I think of it? Ziyuan, quickly send an order to the whole army, use wooden barrels to hold snow and ice, and smash these bastards to death! ”
The mighty snowballs made the enemy troops stationed in Lan City think that this group of Han soldiers was crazy, Lu Yi stood in front of Song Jian with a smile, and stared at Song Jian like a nervous disorder, "Song Hou Ye, Lu Mou thinks that this city is not very suitable for Hou Ye to live in, otherwise the next city will be given to you?" ”
