Facing these people, Qi Xian was just sweating coldly, not knowing how to explain himself.
Back then, I just came here for five thousand taels of silver because of my hotheadedness. Who knew the conditions here were so difficult?
If I were asked to choose this now, I would definitely not choose this way.
But as the commander-in-chief of this expedition, how could others believe him if he said he didn't know?
"Do you, a remnant of the Xi Kingdom, plan to bury 400,000 of us with you?"
"Damn it, what does our Majesty think of letting you, an old prisoner of the Xi Kingdom, come here to be the head coach?"
"Exactly, we don't have enough food and clothing right now, and I think this money has been swallowed up alive by this guy!"
Hearing this, Qi Xian couldn't laugh or cry. I messed with someone, how could it become his own money?
But no one listened to what Qi Xian said. Qi Xian could only shrink his neck and simply ignore everything.
Anyway, I only have one life, so if you want me, you can stab me if you can!
Just as everything was developing in an unpredictable direction, the sound of war horses was heard not far away.
"Damn it!! People from Frey Country are here!"
A group of people hurriedly prepared to stand up and fight, but due to the cold weather, many people's hands and feet were numb from the cold and they could not even hold their spears.
At this moment, a sentry in charge of the lookout began to shout loudly.
"It's not the enemy, it's the Wolf King!!"
"Wolf King?!"
After hearing the news, everyone had excited smiles on their faces.
Many people here have followed Huo Qubing, and they were all together when they captured the Three Cities of Shenhuang.
Even after Ban Shi returned to Hucheng, he still would not forget Huo Qubing's grace on the battlefield.
It can be said that on the battlefield, Huo Qubing was their god.
At this moment, many people cheered after hearing that Huo Qubing had arrived.
Not long after, Huo Qubing came to the crowd and saw that they were wearing thick military uniforms and holding bundles of weeds with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"This is what His Majesty gave you guys? How can you keep out the cold with these rotten grass?"
It can be seen that his face is full of anger, this is an army of 400,000.
There are inevitably some people who are not in good health to begin with. If you live like this for two or three nights, many people will freeze to death!
Even if there are still some people who are in good health, continuing like this is obviously not an option.
What's more, I came to check the situation in a hurry and didn't bring any supplies with me.
Thinking of this, Huo Qubing made a decision immediately without any hesitation.
"Everyone, please use this weed as firewood for me to light. It's important to keep warm at this time!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes were slightly startled.
Are you going to burn the bunches of weeds on your body? If you burn them all, won’t there be no grass tomorrow? How can you keep warm?
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Huo Qubing seemed a little impatient.
"What's the use of guarding the rotten grass? As long as you spend tonight, I will take you to grab the Frey Kingdom tomorrow. How can we, a seven-foot man, freeze to death here!"
I have to say that Huo Qubing's ability to mobilize energy is quite impressive.
With just a few words, all the soldiers' eyes lit up and hope suddenly arose in their hearts.
Yes, isn't the most important thing now just to spend tonight?
If I continue to pick at Sosou, I won’t even be able to survive tonight!
Moreover, who is Huo Qubing? The Emperor of Daxia personally conferred the title of Wolf King, the God of War of Daxia!
How could I not listen to what the God of War said?
Thinking of this, some people began to hesitate and directly put their weeds into the bonfire.
In an instant, the bonfire became much more intense than before.
What followed was the satisfied expression of the soldiers on the side.
However, after all, what I carried was not real firewood. Although the weeds looked very big, they did not burn particularly well.
Within a few minutes, the bundle of weeds burned out.
But after tasting the warmth, no one is willing to return to the cold.
So more and more people began to burn their weeds in bonfires.
Soon, this action instantly became a military order.
Four hundred thousand people came to the bonfire and took out their weeds.
In an instant, the entire iceberg burst into flames.
Four hundred thousand people, a total of four hundred thousand people.
The flames ignited by 400,000 people reached an extremely terrifying level, and at this moment it seemed as if the originally silent and dark sky was lit up.
However, many people did not notice it.
Because there are so many people, there are bound to be some mistakes.
Many people lit weeds in flames and accidentally slipped from the snow-capped mountains.
Some of these are weeds, some are torches, and some are flames.
But no matter what was dropped, it was quickly ignored. What they focused on at the moment was the torch in front of them and the long-lost warmth...
The night passed quickly, and almost all the soldiers did not choose to return to the camp.
Everyone is outside enjoying the warmth brought by the weeds.
Many of them take turns to rest.
When a soldier throws all his weeds into the bonfire, he can have a good rest, and someone will naturally add new ones.
Those who have not added yet quietly sleep and wait for other people's weeds to burn out before adding their own.
Everyone was very regular and burned more than 90% of the weeds just in time for the early morning. Everything was just right.
One night, not one of the 400,000 people died from the cold, which made Huo Qubing very happy.
He came to Qi Xian and said, "Commander Qi, leave the position of commander to me for the time being. I will lead everyone out."
Huo Qubing's words were not serious, but in Qi Xian's ears they sounded like the sounds of nature.
This is simply the best thing.
You must know that I was almost scolded to death by this group of people because of the armament issue. In addition, in the past in Xi Kingdom, I basically just led the navy and rowed boats. How did I know how to actually fight a war?
A navy can only be a navy after passing by, and this cannot be changed no matter where you go.
Now if someone is willing to take over, if he doesn't know how to appreciate it, he can just throw it under the iceberg.
After seeing Qi Xian's reaction, Huo Qubing nodded, turned around and spoke to everyone.
"Everyone, we are fighting a battle that must be determined to win. All of us should remember that only by defeating our opponents can we stay warm tonight. If you want to survive, come with me to defeat Frey Country!
"
Huo Qubing's words directly raised the mood of all the soldiers.
They shouted to destroy Frey, and it seemed that all their momentum was about to burst out at this moment.
