Of course, this also has something to do with the strict inspections set up by Qi Yu. In all aspects, there was no chance for the other party to make a move.
Mainly, the preparation tools are not ready yet.
It's better to endure it for a while.
Just after the third watch, the soldiers who had been sent out were seen returning.
There were more than a dozen mule carts returning with them, and all the carts carried were piles of warm cotton clothes.
These were all collected from nearby towns, including these mule carts.
To put it bluntly, it was bought with money.
Gee, it feels really good to have money, and I can do things smoothly and efficiently.
Feeling inspired, Qi Yu emphatically thanked the corrupt officials who came to give away the money.
If it weren't for them, wouldn't they be short of money?
Let’s talk about the present first.
Although the cotton-padded clothes currently available are not considered to be of the best quality, some are new, some are old, and some are even tattered, they can still keep warm.
In special moments, there is no need to worry so much.
"Okay, let's all put on the new cotton-padded clothes, and then we'll set off overnight!"
"yes!"
After answering, the soldiers asked again: "Sir, in which direction shall we march?"
Qi Yu said decisively: "Abandon Tongzhou and go due south! Moreover, we must choose the barren mountains and ridges with higher terrain and make no mistakes."
this……
At present, the cold wind is whining, the weather is extreme, and heavy snow may fall at any time. In this case, walking on a broad road is the first choice. If this is the case, why would Mr. Qi do the opposite?
You know, the higher the terrain, the stronger the wind will be. If you go to such a place, wouldn't you be deliberately looking for trouble?
However, they just think about it occasionally, but they don't say it out loud.
In Qiongjun's military orders, there is only unconditional obedience and no bargaining.
Not to mention the wind, snow and severe cold, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you still have to go out and do charity generously without even belching.
Get going!
And set off overnight!
Following the order, the team formed a long snake formation and meandered forward in the night against the wind.
At this moment, a secondary car at the end of the team was suddenly ambushed.
After a violent storm, the car was immediately dismembered into parts.
Broken?
Yes!
When Qi Yu saw this, he seemed shocked and hurriedly urged his men to escape quickly.
After Qiong Jun left, a cautious dark figure flashed out of the night.
If you look closely, you will see that it is Wang Zhifan.
He kept rummaging through the broken car, but in the end, he didn't find a body.
In other words, the van is actually empty.
"I really didn't expect that we actually shot down a passenger car by mistake! He Qi Yu, he is indeed not an ordinary thief!"
"Mother, what should we do now?"
"Keep chasing! Although there are many auxiliary vehicles, we will hit one less than one. There will always be a time when we will hit for real."
"Well……"
It can be seen that Su Liu's will is very firm, and he even has an attitude of not giving up until he achieves his goal.
And her will mainly comes from a certain kind of self-confidence.
She felt that due to previous calculation errors, the 50,000 troops sent to Dagu Port could not be counted on. As a result, they could only be deployed from the garrison in the capital.
However, the defense of the capital is greater than anything else, and there cannot be any slack. Therefore, the number available for her to mobilize is not very large.
She thought about it and finally mobilized 10,000 horses.
Although this number has seriously exceeded Qi Yu's expectations, there is still no chance of winning against two thousand Qiong troops.
It can even be said that he is still at a disadvantage.
However, Su Liu's IQ was not insignificant. Soon, she figured out how to maximize her strengths and avoid weaknesses, and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
To put it aside, isn't the shield formation used by Liang Yingzhong when he attacked Qi Mansion a ready-made case for reference?
This configuration can definitely effectively contain the enemy.
In this way, she urgently raised five thousand stainless steel shields and set off immediately.
With this weapon as a safeguard, what else is there to worry about?
She felt that with the strength in her hands, she could give Qi Yulai a try.
Sun Qiaoyun must die, otherwise, he will not be able to sleep and eat well. There is no need for the dead emperor to live anymore. If he wakes up, he will probably settle the score with his wife.
Speaking of this, Su Liu felt like his intestines were filled with regret.
During the operation, she was afraid of Meng Lanshan, so she decided to kill her. She was very afraid that the old man would expose her later. But who would have thought that the old man died of exhaustion during the operation.
If we had known that he would die, why would we still have these worries? Just do nothing and let Yuan Yun die on a crane.
It’s too late to regret!
"Ah sneeze!"
"It's so cold..."
A gust of cold wind not only interrupted Su Liu's thoughts, but also made her nose numb and sneezing all the time.
As Qi Yu expected, the Empress Dowager and her entourage arrived in a hurry and did not bring any cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold.
As for Su Liu, she had calculated the flaws in Qiong Jun's attributes, but she didn't expect that the Heavenly Guild would be unfavorable.
Wang Zhifan was also as cold as a quail, curled up a lot shorter.
"Your Majesty, it's really too cold today. In my humble opinion, I'd better raise some cotton-padded clothes first, and then go find Qi Yu to settle the account."
"No! The opportunity is fleeting. If you waste time, how can you possibly catch up?"
"Uh, okay..."
In this case, it seems that we can only hold on.
Then... keep chasing!
Following Su Liu's order, the men and horses under his command were on the road again, heading forward against the wind in the freezing cold.
In this way, we walked for an hour.
As a result, we found that the road ahead was getting narrower and winding, and it seemed that we were heading to a remote place.
Sure enough, after walking for a while, we arrived at a higher mountainous area.
In this abrupt terrain, due to the loss of standing shelter, the power of the cold wind suddenly doubled and reached its maximum.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is very biting.
And at this moment, goose feathers began to drift in the snow.
"Something bad happened!"
"This is the rhythm of heavy snow closing the mountains!"
Su Liu finally realized something was wrong.
However, she was a little confused. How could Qi Yu, with his intelligence, dig into the mountains under such circumstances?
Forget it, let’s not think about it so much for now.
The weather is not suitable right now, so we should leave as soon as possible.
Yes, return immediately!
Just when he was about to give the order to withdraw his troops, Wang Zhifan reminded him: "Mother, if we chase for a while longer, we may catch up with the next auxiliary car. Do you think we should chase it?"
Within easy reach?
Seems to be.
Hearing this, Su Liu gritted his teeth and said with all his heart: "Keep chasing!... Ah Zhi!"
