"General Liang Bi, have you got your clothes to keep out the cold?" Xiang An asked in the military camp outside the city, patting Liang Ning's shoulder gently, brushing off the snow on Liang Ning's shoulder.
"Ah, General." Liang Ning turned around, knelt down on one knee, and clasped his fists, "Basically everything is in place. There are still a few gaps, and they can be filled in at the earliest this evening."
Xiang An sighed and handed the thing in his hand to Liang Ning: "I don't need this, go and give it to the soldiers who need it."
That's a thick lining.
"Ah? But, General, you..."
"It doesn't matter, you're already at my level. You're not afraid of the cold, but our soldiers are." Xiang An patted Liang Ning's shoulder again. Without waiting for Liang Ning's response, Xiang An walked away and walked towards his
Walk to the camp.
"It's been snowing heavily for two days. I don't know when it will stop..." Xiang Lu stood not far away, looking at Xiang An walking towards him, and shook his head involuntarily.
"There is still a lot of food and grass left. Don't worry, uncle. It just came too soon. I didn't expect there would be such a heavy snow before spring." Xiang An raised his head and looked at the sky as he walked, shook his body, and put the fallen things away.
Shake off the snow on your body.
"With such heavy snow, marching or transporting materials will be a problem. Xiao Si asked a group of people to go to the snow to find dry firewood nearby. The weather is not easy to find."
"Alas..." Xiang An sighed, rubbed his face with his right hand, and said with a wry smile, "I also said that I would capture Boyang within a month, but now it seems...
"
"Don't think too much about external factors." Xiang Lu comforted, "After all, not everyone is like you and your elder brother."
"It's okay. I have a plan now. I may need to ask you, Fourth Uncle, for some things." After patting his face, Xiang An's expression became serious and he looked at Xiang Lu.
"You said, as long as it's your business, I agree." Looking at Xiang An's serious face, Xiang Lu looked solemn and nodded.
"My fourth uncle also mentioned just now that my eldest brother and I are different from the soldiers. This is an advantage. I don't intend to give up this advantage."
"The road is blocked by heavy snow and it is difficult to march. That is because compared to infantry or chariots, good horses can definitely run in the snow. At least my gallop, Xiaosi's Zaoji, and Liang Ning, Weihao and the others
You can ride a horse."
With that said, Xiang An and Xiang Lu walked to the temporary stables where the army horses were temporarily kept.
Xiang An casually grabbed a handful of hay from the barrel, walked to the side of the big waves and scratched Turbulent's nose.
"So I plan to join a few generals with fairly good martial arts skills to attack quickly and use cutting-edge force to launch a very small-scale attack on the city of Jibei without being caught off guard."
"...Aren't you planning to kill yourself?" Xiang Lu looked at Xiang An who was starting to feed the horse, his brows furrowed and his tone became stern.
"I don't plan to really attack. All I want is panic. The generals in Jibei are all useless. I'm sure they will be in chaos." Xiang An smiled and patted Tuanchi's neck and said, "
The first is to attack strategy, the second is to attack friends, the second is to attack troops, and the third is to attack the city. Although I haven't read many military books, I still remember this sentence very clearly."
"Forget about fighting against the enemy. These Jibei quails don't dare to lead their troops out of the city to fight with me, so they have to be scared." Xiang An had a confident and slightly cruel smile on his face, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I
Just make them afraid!”
"So, when I go out with a few generals, I will leave it to you, Fourth Uncle, to handle matters in the military camp."
...
Early the next morning.
"Liang Ning, how are your shooting skills?" Xiang An asked Liang Ning, pulling on Tuan Chi's reins.
"Go back to the general, are you okay?" Liang Ning scratched the back of his head and replied blankly.
As the person with the lowest military rank among the four, he cannot help but be cautious.
Xiang An is the general, Zi Juan is the general, Wei Hao is the sub-general, and Liang Ning, like Xiang Lu, is a subordinate general. However, Xiang Lu has a special status, and his reputation in the army is not much lower than that of Zi Juan.
"...Okay." Xiang An twitched the corner of his mouth.
He didn't expect Liang Ning's shooting skills to be very good. This thing takes time to accumulate. Xiang Jing and he are both in abnormal situations. Except for a few people from the Xiang family, the most famous marksman in the Western Chu army should be
Jiang Chun, the general beside Xiang Yu, this old hunter has already climbed very high.
"Second brother, didn't you call Shang Xiaoye? I remember that his shooting skills are also good, and his riding skills are also very good." Zijuan asked Xiang An as he walked around on Zaoji to warm up.
"Let him stay here to help Fourth Uncle... Let's go, move forward at full speed, and reach Wenshui West before this evening!" Xiang An rubbed his wrist and ordered.
"yes!"
The three generals gave short answers, then followed Xiang An and Dalang Turanchi and galloped towards the north.
Four horses galloped through the snow, leaving four traces on the white field. However, it would not take long before they were covered by goose feathers falling from the sky, as if they had never appeared before.
What no one noticed was that not long after the four people left, a figure appeared on the branches with fallen leaves beside the road.
The figure exhaled a breath of white air, stared closely in the direction the four people left, and bit his lip.
"No, I have to watch from a distance. I can only... watch from a distance."
"but......"
"but......"
"ha......"
A strong wind blew by, carrying the turbulent falling snow, but the figure had disappeared, leaving only a line of footprints on the ground that would disappear in a moment.
...
To the west of Wenshui River, Tuoxian County.
On snowy days, especially heavy snow days, it is impossible for anyone to attack. This is common sense.
However, the defense work on the city wall still needs to be carried out. If you do not patrol the city wall, your salary will be fined.
Tong County is like this now. Several guards are standing on the battlements, shoveling snow and chatting boredly.
"You said that in this cold weather, the county magistrate asked us to come to the city to sweep the snow. What's the difference? After sweeping the snow, it still looks different at night."
"Stop complaining, I'm freezing to death, hurry up and sweep."
"Hey, I heard the old man guarding the door say that there is a widow selling wine half a mile to the west outside the military camp?"
"Are you sick? In today's world, how many women are not widows? They are either widows to death or widows alive... If you want to drink, don't hold me back. When the two Sima know about it, they will definitely have to drink.
Crack the whip!”
"Hey, it's okay. Let's go out while it's dark. Besides drinking, we can also..."
call out--
Before the soldier finished speaking, he stopped where he was.
His vitality quickly drained away, his eyes lost their luster, and he fell to the ground.
A sharp arrow could be clearly seen stuck in the back of his heart.
