In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, in mid-October, heavy snow came as expected.
Between heaven and earth, there is a vast white scenery.
On this day, Li Chengqian also took a group of generals out of the military camp with great interest to enjoy the snow scenery.
Apart from other things, the snow scenery in Western Turkestan is really beautiful.
Especially when you stand on the top of a mountain and look into the distance, everything you see is white.
It was as if all the darkness in the world had been wiped out.
Li Chengqian pointed to a towering mountain range in the east and said, "That should be our Kunlun, right?"
"probably."
Liu Qi responded with a smile: "I didn't expect that I could still see the scenery of my hometown in a foreign country."
"yes."
"It's just a little far away."
Chen Fukuan also followed up and said: "And this legendary sacred mountain seems to be inferior to Siguniang Mountain in Shu."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian and Liu Qi looked at each other and then laughed.
Li Chengqian said directly to Chen Fukuan: "You are from Shu, of course you want to speak for your Shu?"
"but……"
"I still have to say, I think you are right."
When he was quelling the rebellion in Shu, Li Chengqian also visited Siguniang Mountain.
Only when standing among those mountains can the beauty of being in heaven pour into people's hearts.
And when he heard that Li Chengqian also said that Siguniang Mountain is more beautiful than Kunlun Mountain, a look of pride flashed across Chen Fukuan's face.
At this time, Li Chengqian's conversation changed.
He looked directly at Liu Qidao: "How long has it been snowing?"
Liu Qi said truthfully: "It will take about a day."
"One day's work..."
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the reaction from the Angsa Army?"
"It's pretty much what His Highness originally expected."
"Almost every day, corpses are taken out of the camp, and countless people have died of frostbite."
Speaking of this, Liu Qi paused.
Then, he asked tentatively: "Can we do it now?" Launch an attack?"
"It's still early."
"but……"
Li Chengqian slowly stretched out two fingers and said, "But we can also let Kamachin and Hu Yanzheng stretch their muscles first."
"Didn't they say that they were almost going crazy?"
"Then let them go over and give these Ansa people some warmth."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qi immediately stepped in to respond, and then went down to deliver the order.
"etc!"
But before he could turn around, Li Chengqian called him to a halt.
He warned: "Remember, you have to give them more warmth, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
But he did not hesitate, and saluted Li Chengqian, and then went to find Kamaqin and Hu Yanzheng.
Although Li Chengqian's words were not directly stated, he could understand what Li Chengqian meant.
So when he came to Kamaqin and Hu Yanzheng's camp, he didn't come empty-handed, but brought nearly 10,000 unopened Sky Fire Thunders.
Watching a group of Liangzhou soldiers delivering boxes of sky fire thunder to their camp.
Kamachin and Hu Yanzheng also immediately became energetic.
Just by looking at this scene, the two of them had already guessed Li Chengqian's next plan.
This must be for our own side to launch an attack, otherwise how could we send heavenly fire thunder to ourselves?
"Ten thousand heavenly fire thunders."
Liu Qi said expressionlessly: "Two generals, please take stock."
"No need to count."
Hu Yanzheng said: "We trust the general."
"Yeah yeah."
"Besides, these are the weapons of the Tang brothers."
Kamachin also said with a smile: "If we can use it, it is already very good. How can we talk about those things?"
Are there any?"
Hearing these obviously complimentary words, Liu Qi had no reaction.
He still said expressionlessly: "His Highness said it."
"It's freezing cold today, and the Angsa army has no cotton-padded clothes. There are many soldiers in the camp who have died of frostbite."
"Since God is kind to people, His Highness asked the two generals to send them some warmth."
After saying this, Liu Qi also emphasized it again: "Send warmth to me, do you two generals understand?"
Hearing this, the two of them were stunned.
But soon they understood what the other party meant.
Is it just asking us to follow the previous script again?
At that moment, the two of them responded without hesitation.
Seeing this, Liu Qi finally felt relieved and left with a group of soldiers.
When they saw each other leaving, Kamachin and Hu Yanzheng looked at those Tianhuolei in a daze.
Ten thousand sky fire thunders, divided among them by twenty thousand people, seemed a bit insufficient.
But it’s better than nothing, at least it has something.
Didn't they have to hold on when they didn't have it in the first place?
At that moment, the two of them also added two to one and made five, each with half, each with five thousand coins, and left happily.
Not long after, Hu Yanzheng and Kamaqin began to assemble their respective teams and headed towards the place where Angsa's army was resting.
…
Angsa Army.
Inside the military camp, all the officers gathered in the tent.
At this moment, five braziers were lit in the camp.
But even for such a group of generals, their teeth were chattering due to the cold.
After all, they are from the south. How have they ever seen the cold winter in the north?
Especially in Western Turkestan, this place is located in the northern temperate zone. In winter, the cold wind from Siberia can only turn this place into a hell.
At this moment, these Western Turkic generals really couldn't stand it anymore.
One of them said: "This damn weather is simply It’s just not a place for people to stay.”
"Our army had better march as quickly as possible and evacuate this place."
Hearing what he said, another person replied: "How to withdraw?"
"Now our army is blocked in front and pursued behind us. Even if our army wants to withdraw, will they let us go?"
The current Ansa Army is really facing a desperate situation.
Behind them, Li Chengqian and his group were pursuing them, and in front of them, there were many passes set up by Zhao Youlin to block their way.
In addition, there are many mountains, rivers and ravines in the southern part of the Western Turks. The combination of these reasons also makes the distance they can travel every day very limited.
The worst thing is that it took them five full days to get out less than a hundred miles.
You know, for a combat legion, this is simply a snail's pace.
But they really can't help it.
After all, these people from the Western Turks are really tough.
If you can't slap them to death, they will stick to you like dog skin plaster.
Even if they traveled hundreds of miles, they would only come back after paying a huge price.
And listening to the two people talking to each other, Edward couldn't help but said: "You two, please stop complaining."
"None of us wants to encounter such a difficult situation, but when it comes, we can't avoid it, so we can only face it head on."
"In the next few days, I am going to send some elites to open the way ahead."
"At the same time, send another part of the elite to defend the rear. What do you think?"
Hearing this, everyone present was startled.
Immediately afterwards, one of them said: "Commander, do you mean to send out all the elites?"
"Um."
Edward nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, this can only be the case."
"Then what should our Chinese army do?"
Seeing Edward's appearance, the man was a little panicked and said: "Commander, don't forget, the Western Turks are all cavalry..."
