Fu Tong also led people to catch up, but due to the narrow road, he could only stand behind and be in a hurry.

Just when Liu Yin was in despair, he heard Ah Jian shout: "I have found General Huang!" ”

Liu Yin was in good spirits, and walked up quickly, only to see Huang Chong coming tremblingly under the support of Ah Jian and a soldier, due to the lack of oxygen in the snow, Huang Chong's face turned purple and he couldn't stop coughing.

Finally alive! Liu Yin was greatly comforted, and said repeatedly: "Okay, good, just rescue it!" ”

Huang Chong gasped for breath and said weakly: "Thank you to the general for saving me with all my might, the last general really thought that he was going to be buried alive this time." ”

When the avalanche occurred, Huang Chong felt a shaking of the earth, and when he looked up, the snowdrifts like a surge were already roaring, pouring down, the speed of the avalanche was extremely fast, from discovering the strangeness on the top of the mountain to the snow surge, it was only a few breaths of time, and Huang Chong could not have any chance of escaping at all.

However, Huang Chong was still very shrewd and retreated to a steep rock wall, squatting down facing the rock. In an instant, the heavy snow covered everything, because Huang Chong's squatting position just avoided the impact of the snow waves, and was not carried into the deep valley by the snow waves, and the gap in front of him also provided him with some meager air, allowing him to support the rescue team to arrive.

With the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Huang Chong's face still had a trace of palpitations, indeed, buried under the thick snow, Huang Chong almost despaired, that is, Liu Yin led the people to come in time, if it was a little delayed, it would be half a moment. It is likely that a corpse was found.

Fu Yan laughed and said, "It's a great disaster." There will be blessings. Lao Huang, you will definitely be rich and rich in the future. ”

Liu Yin said: "Ah Jian, help General Huang to rest at the bottom of the mountain." ”

Huang Chong glanced at the snowdrift behind him and said to Liu Yin: "General, there are hundreds of mules and horses buried in the snow......

Liu Yin chuckled in his heart, the entire logistics mule and horse transport team was marching with the White Emperor Battalion, the rear guard force, these mules and horses carried the grain, grass and materials that the entire Northern Expedition army relied on for survival, if there was anything missing, the consequences were really hard to imagine.

Liu Yin instructed Ah Jian to send Huang Chong down the mountain first. Organize a rescue team to continue excavating, and strive to get the road through in the shortest possible time, no matter how many survivors are still buried in the snow, one can be saved.

Zhuge Shang also organized people to dig snow on the opposite side, and the two sides went hand in hand, clearing the snow on the road.

But since Huang Chong, only the corpses that are still warm have been rescued from the heavy snow of the landslide, and no one has survived. It's normal to think about it, to be buried in the snow for so long. There is little chance of surviving anymore.

It seems that Huang Chong is also an extremely lucky person, if he is a little slower in his actions. Soon, Huang Chong may be dead now.

After rescuing Huang Chong, the rescue team did not stop because of this, but maintained the momentum of digging as always, clearing the thick snow piled up on the mountain road, and advancing foot by foot.

After more than an hour of fighting, the people on Liu Yin's side and Zhuge Shang's side converged, and finally opened up the entire mountain road, and in the snow, dozens of corpses and dozens of living people were found, but there was not a single mule and horse that Huang Chong said.

Zhuge Shang strode forward and saluted Liu Yin: "See the general." ”

Liu Yin clasped his hands together and said, "How many people are there in the back, are they all safe?" ”

Zhuge Shangke is Zhuge Zhan's son, after Zhuge Zhan sacrificed his life for the country, Liu Yin vowed to protect his heirs well, which can be regarded as a kind of admiration for Zhuge Liang, in his previous life, Liu Yin has always admired Zhuge Liang. Fortunately, Zhuge is still safe and sound, which makes Liu Yin feel a lot more relieved.

From Zhuge Shang's mouth, Liu Yin learned that there were still more than 2,000 people who were intercepted by the avalanche on the mountain, and at the same time, it once again confirmed what Huang Chong said, and there were at least four or five hundred mules and horses that were swallowed by the heavy snow.

What makes people feel strange is that during the rescue and excavation operation, there was not a single mule or horse seen.

Liu Yin's heart sank, and he immediately thought of the answer. On one side of the mountain road, there is a bottomless cliff, when the avalanche occurs, people like Huang Chong and others can hide under the cliff to avoid the impact of the snow waves, while the mules and horses are too large to hide in a hidden place, and at the same time, the horsemen are also estimated to panic, and they don't care about mules and horses at all.

Don't underestimate the impact of the snow waves, sliding down from the top of the mountain, moving slowly at first, but after the avalanche, the speed of the entire snow wave will become larger and larger, with the power of destroying and decaying, it can sweep everything in front of you, even if these mules and horses are larger and carry heavy supplies, but they cannot resist the impact of the snow waves. It is estimated that in an instant, the surging snow waves washed those mules and horses and their grooms directly down the cliff.

When Liu Yin went down the mountain before, he also paid attention to the cliff valley around him, the bottom of the cloud lock fog, bottomless, buried by the heavy snow at this time, but almost filled the valley, if those mules, horses and grooms really fell into the valley, they must have been buried under the thick snow, even if they want to take the corpse bones, it is estimated that it is an impossible task.

Zhuge Shang quickly reported a detailed list of losses, a total of 487 mules and horses, 215 horsemen (each horseman had to take care of two mules and horses, and some horsemen escaped death), and 235 soldiers of the White Emperor's battalion.

The biggest loss was the cargo carried by the mules and horses, most of which was grain and grass. Before leaving, Liu Yin asked each soldier to bring enough dry food for a month, but Liu Yin knew that a month would definitely not be enough to climb over the snowy mountains and meadows. The remaining grain and grass materials were transported by mules and horses, and a mule and horse could carry an average of 20 stone of grain and grass, which could meet the needs of 20 people in January, and nearly 500 mules and horses carried tens of thousands of grains.

These grains were originally intended to meet the needs of 30,000 troops crossing the grasslands, but now, they have been reduced to nothing in an instant, making the Northern Expeditionary Army, which was already short of food, even worse and more difficult.

Grain and grass are the foundation of an army, the three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, especially in the difficult environment of snow-capped mountains and meadows, if the food problem is not solved, it will fall into a desperate situation.

Liu Yin's heart passed a trace of haze, and the whole future was bleak. (To be continued......)
