The autumn wind is bleak and the winter snow covers it.
Since the First World War in Luoke, Dali and Dashi have started a formal war.
In the early stage, An Junshan and Ouyang Xuan were making great progress, and a victory report was sent back to the rear.
But the momentum stalled after two months.
On the one hand, it was because Dashi's surprise attack plan failed, so he could only turn his attention to the frontal battlefield again.
On the other hand, with the reduction of strongholds, Dashi's army gradually gathered together, while Dali's army dispersed due to the rapid expansion.
Therefore, although Dashi lost 50,000 troops in that raid, he finally stopped Dali's offensive momentum on the frontal battlefield.
Although the two parties had constant friction, they once again fell into a confrontation.
But this confrontation may end at any time.
In fact, the two armies on the front line have been in a state of tension with each other.
But everyone knows that now is not a good time to start a war.
They are all waiting for support from the rear.
Dashi has lost too many troops, while Dali does not have enough troops to expand.
Moreover, those places that have been occupied also need to take advantage of this period to build fortifications and defenses. In this way, even if there is an accident and the Dali army is temporarily defeated by the Dashi army, they can retreat to the next stronghold and hold on, instead of retreating directly to Luoke.
Mountain.
At this time, winter has also entered.
Nanyang naturally has four seasons, but due to its geographical location in the ancient moon world, the winter in Nanyang is shorter than that in the Eastern Continent and Western Ocean.
It has also been warmer in previous years.
But perhaps God is also feeling pity for Nanyang, where it almost never snows. This winter, there was a snowstorm that covered half of the continent.
All traces of the war were buried.
Half of the Nanyang continent is covered in snow. If it weren't for the constant mobilization of troops by Dali and Dashi, as well as the intensified construction of fortifications, there wouldn't even be any trace of the war.
However, because of the snow, the atmosphere on both sides has become more relaxed recently.
It's not that no one wanted to launch a surprise attack in such weather, but neither Dali nor Dashi expected that there would be a once-in-a-century icy weather in Nanyang.
They did make some preparations for the unexpected, but it was obviously not enough.
It’s not cold when it’s snowing, it’s cold when it’s snowing.
The heavy snow covering half of Southeast Asia began to melt, absorbing almost all the heat. Those muskets and swords were even too cold to hold.
Iron absorbs heat.
The most unlucky soldier even had his hands and weapons frozen together due to his carelessness, and he slowly thawed them out by relying on warm water.
If we dare to start a war in such cold weather, the non-combat attrition caused by frostbite will only be greater.
…
"Ah sneeze..."
Xizi sneezed just as he entered the room.
Although she is not as strong and powerful as the Innate Grand Master, she is also a second-level powerhouse, but the physical quality of the Illumination Warlock is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
But everything has its pros and cons.
Xizi, who controls the magical power of the water attribute, is at ease in places where the power of the water attribute is abundant, but his sensitivity to cold and heat is also stronger.
The heavy snow that covered half of the Southern Ocean did make the water-attribute power in the air abundant, but the cold air that accompanied it also entered Xizi's body.
If only he were like Wang Ruoqing's inner spirit, possessing a complete water attribute charm.
However, the spirit in Xizi's heart is not primarily based on the water attribute, and the trace of water attribute charm was accidentally incorporated by Di Xin when he was painting the portrait, so it is not complete.
Of course, a cold is not a cold, just a slight discomfort.
"Your Highness!"
After Xizi said a thousand blessings, he walked to the stove and put his hands on it.
It is naturally not difficult for craftsmen who can produce various types of ammunition to build some stoves with little technical content.
After the snow fell, Di Xin immediately ordered that enough stoves be installed in each camp stronghold.
Di Xin put down the book of war in his hand, stood up and walked to the stove, holding Xizi's pair of Rouyi, and the cold touch suddenly came over him.
"My beloved, it's such a cold day, you can just rest in the house, why bother running here by yourself."
Xizi felt his hands slowly getting warm under Di Xin's wrapping, and couldn't help but move his body closer.
When Di Xin saw this, he was not afraid of the cold. He immediately poured her into his arms and secretly mobilized a bit of energy and blood to make his already hot body even hotter.
Sure enough, Xizi's face soon showed a comfortable expression.
And she also said at this time: "Your Highness, because we are building the furnace, we don't have enough iron. It will be difficult to produce the next batch of ammunition supplies on time."
Not enough iron?
Di Xin nodded slightly, but what he said was: "I'm not giving you a holiday, just let others be busy with these things."
Xizi shrank back again and said softly: "After all, I am His Highness's female companion. Traveling with the army is easy for people to criticize. If I am favored by His Highness again, how can I convince the public?"
"Who dares to look alone?"
Di Xin snorted coldly, but immediately sighed and said with some distress: "You are just too harsh on yourself!"
In fact, no one said that!
Some people may have said something before, after all, it is difficult for people to see her ability when it comes to logistics management. But that time after she almost destroyed the entire enemy fleet with one person, everyone in the army could only admire her when talking about her.
.
After all, she was too harsh on herself, for fear of causing herself some trouble.
Xizi smiled softly, took the initiative to end the topic, and continued talking about business.
"Master Shen has already taken people to inspect the iron mines. According to his analysis, the current mining efficiency is too low. If it can be improved by 10%, it will be able to meet the current demand."
Xizi was unwilling to change, and Di Xin couldn't say anything more. He secretly decided to love her more in the future, and then frowned.
With the official start of the war, the consumption of various ammunition increased sharply. Today's production lines can meet the load, but the mining of raw materials has encountered a bottleneck.
But today's mining tools have already been improved. With the current technology in this world, even improvements will not increase the efficiency much.
But time waits for no one.
Although the heavy snowfall this time brought unprecedented coldness to the land of Nanyang, it was only uncomfortable for a while.
Winter in Nanyang is meant to be shorter. No matter how cold it is now, it will get warmer after a while.
And when the time comes, the friction that originally stopped will probably cause trouble again.
At that time, if the ammunition supply is insufficient, what will be filled in will be the lives of the soldiers.
