The wind and snow are merciless, treating the world equally, and nearly a million Han troops are also suffering from the test of severe cold.
Compared with the Romans, who were devastated by wind and snow, the journey of the Han army was many times more comfortable.
Although they also had to brave the wind and snow, they came prepared, in addition to carrying enough cotton clothes with the army to keep out the cold, they were also equipped with unique gloves, ear caps, masks and other cold-proof items of the Han people, so that the hands, feet and cheeks of millions of soldiers were protected, and unnecessary casualties were reduced.
But even so, the bad weather also made the Han army feel painful, but they could not stop the pace of pursuit, and could only grit their teeth and bite the footsteps of the Romans in the face of the wind and snow.
Nearly a million Han troops marched on the post road from Luble to San Mano, stretching for hundreds of miles from east to west, like a long dragon swimming in the wind and snow, standing on a high place and looking into the distance, the momentum was huge and magnificent.
The banner was hunting in the wind, and Guan Yu took the lead, leading Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Huo Qujian and others to open the way in front, urging the army to go all out and strive to catch up with the Romans as soon as possible.
"This damn weather is almost freezing to death" Zhang Fei hung the Zhangba snake spear on the saddle, took off his gloves and rubbed his hands that were almost unconscious from the cold, and kept cursing in his mouth, "I have lived in Zhuo County for thirty years, and it is the first time I have encountered such cold weather through the south and the north."
The corners of Huo Quji's mouth curled slightly, and he teased: "General Zhang San has rough skin and thick meat, since even you complain about the cold weather, you can imagine how guilty the weak soldiers are."
Ma Chao looked up at the looming Alps a hundred miles away, and said with emotion: "No wonder the snow on the mountain does not melt all year round, it is already so cold at the beginning of October, and I am afraid that it will be cold and frozen for thousands of miles in the month of Layue."
Guan Yu took the lead, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, and his three-foot beautiful hair fluttered in the wind, like a god.
He was not interested in Zhang Fei's topic, and interjected: "We were expecting the Seine River ahead to block the retreat of the Romans, but now the weather is so cold, I am afraid that the river will freeze."
If the Romans had crossed the river and cut through the ice, wouldn't our army have been held back to the east of the river and watched the Romans flee?"
When Huo Quji, Ma Chao and the others heard this, their faces became solemn, and Huo Quji muttered: "What General Yun Chang said is extremely true, the weather is so cold, and freezing is inevitable.
In order to avoid wasting all the work I had done, I led the cavalry with General Meng Qi to take the lead and in any case entangle the Romans before they crossed the river."
At this moment, Ma Tan, who joined the army, was ordered by Zhuge Liang to chase after him quickly, and bowed his hand on the horse and said: "Ma Tan has seen the prince and the generals."
Guan Yu bowed slightly, and returned the salute to Ma Yan: "Ma joined the army in such a hurry, I don't know what Kong Ming commanded."
"General Zhuge said that there must be ambushes ahead, and there is no need to rush to catch up, so as not to fall into an ambush of the Romans and lose his troops."
Ma Jian took off his gloves and rubbed his cold hands, loudly conveying Zhuge Liang's order.
Huo Qu said solemnly: "Liu Bang and his son have been using soldiers for many years, and they are by no means mediocre people, in order to get rid of the pursuit of our army, they will definitely set up an ambush on the road."
It's just that the weather is cold, and the Seine will inevitably freeze, and if the pursuit is late, the Romans will escape, causing our army to lose all its achievements.
Therefore, Ben will know that there are tigers in the mountains and go to the tiger mountains, even if there is an ambush ahead, he must chase with all his might, and be careful when passing through dangerous places."
Ma Tan looked up at the steep hillside around him and admonished: "This road is hilly and undulating, and there are ambushes everywhere.
General Huang Feihu has already died on the battlefield, and if there are any more casualties, it may not be good for the morale of the army.
General Zhuge said, please relax your mind and chase slowly, you must not go deep alone, he can ensure that the Seine River will not freeze, so that the Romans can not fly. ” After listening to Ma Yan's words, Guan Yu, Huo Quji, Zhang Fei and others looked at each other, and said in disbelief: "General Kong Ming really said that this weather can be changed casually, the weather is so cold, the creeks and potholes along the way have been frozen, is the Seine River another world?"
Ma Yan smiled: "I don't know about this, I'm just in charge of passing the word." ” Guan Yu stroked his beard and groaned: "When he was in the Central Plains, Kong Ming begged for a violent storm, extinguished the fire around Luoyang, and killed Cao Cao with thunder and lightning, which shows that he has the ability to call for wind and rain."
Since Kong Ming said this, it seems that he is sure that the weather will be warmer, so we will march in formation according to his orders, and General Huo will not lead the cavalry into the depths alone."
"Since General Zhuge has an order, we will act according to the plan" Huo Quji dispelled the idea of leading the cavalry to go deep alone, and continued to lead the army with Guan Yu, Ma Chao and others.
In the wilderness, the people shouted and the horses neighed, like a long dragon, the 130,000 army should open the road first, and the 200,000 soldiers led by Zhuge Liang were separated by more than ten miles behind, and then the 500,000 army led by Yue Fei was also suffering from the invasion of wind and snow at this moment.
Sun Wu and Zhuge Liang were both dressed in deerskin and walked side by side, talking and laughing all the way, as if they didn't care about the cold.
"Hehe Kong Ming, you let Ma Jian catch up with Guan Yu and the others, so that they don't have to rush to catch up, you are really sure that the weather will be warmer" After chatting, Sun Wu returned to business and raised the doubts in his heart.
Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry to answer, and pointed to a hillside in front of him with a feather fan in his hand: "Let's go, General Sun will go with me to see the celestial phenomena again."
Without waiting for Sun Wu to answer, Zhuge Liang flicked his horsewhip, crossed the army surrounded by Jiang Wei, Zhang Wei and dozens of others, and galloped towards the slope of the mountain, which was hundreds of zhang high.
"Looking at this way, Kong Ming seems to have seen the celestial phenomena no less than five times" Sun Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and spurred his horse to catch up.
Zhuge Liang and Sun Wu climbed up the hillside surrounded by more than ten people such as Jiang Wei and looked at the sky against the cold north wind.
Zhuge Liang watched for half an hour and kept silent, Sun Wu couldn't help but ask in the end: "Kong Ming doesn't need to do it this time, just look at the celestial phenomena to make the temperature rise and the weather warmer."
Zhuge Liang turned his head and laughed: "Haha, General Sun, don't make fun of me, we Mingren didn't say dark words before, and you don't know where I can do it, but I can just look at the sky."
Sun Wu was convinced of Zhuge Liang's spells: "Kong Mingxiu must be humble, even His Majesty said that you have the ability to bring the dead back to life, and it is probably easy for you to call for wind and rain."
Hurry up and cast a spell to warm the weather, and don't let the Seine freeze, lest the Romans flee and cause us to waste all our efforts." t1706231537:
