The wind and snow outside the customs seemed to be endless, blowing for several days. In this wind and snow, Zhuo Bufan and his party were marching hard. The area outside the customs in this era was not the Northeast that Zhuo Bufan was familiar with. At the end of the day, not even a single person could be seen. However, he did not encounter Tatar soldiers again.
I don¡¯t know if this winter will be particularly cold. If Yi Zhi Hua hadn¡¯t picked up a few Tatar furs before setting out on the road, Zhuo Bufan might not have been able to bear it. Every day is a boring journey, following the footsteps in front of me, fighting against the cold that penetrates my bones. At this time, Zhuo Bufan's beard has grown to two fingers long. He no longer looks immature but has a lot more heroic spirit, which is different from the usual mature charm of a man.
At first, Zhuo Bufan could look to the south and worry about the little bell while he was resting. Later, he no longer had the energy to think about anything at all. When he was walking, he could only think about the horse's butt and the deep horse hoof marks in front of him. When he was resting, he would just I fell down and was so tired that I couldn't even dream.
It wasn¡¯t until Yi Zhihua was surprised to find the marks of the movement of the brigade of soldiers and horses that the difficult road that seemed to never end finally came to an end. Estimating the distance, it's almost time to reach Songshan. Everyone was refreshed, and Zhuo Bufan immediately ordered to sleep!
After eating all the remaining dry food, everyone hid in the snow nest and slept beautifully for a whole day. It was not until daylight came out the next day that Zhuo Bufan stretched out and woke up beautifully. In his dream, Little Lingdang was safe and sound, still pouting and acting coquettishly, blaming himself for not looking for her, and finally coaxing her to be happy. But what made him happiest was that somehow, in his dream, Little Lingdang finally recovered his memory, and he managed to make her happy. I am so happy that I am in my arms. Naturally, the sweetness and tenderness between me and me are indispensable.
The flower next to her had her eyes wide open. Her beautiful big eyes were secretly looking at Zhuo Bufan, and her face was unusually red. Seeing Zhuo Bufan wake up, he quickly turned away and pretended not to wake up yet.
Zhuo Bufan moved his numb arms and shoulders, and suddenly noticed something was different. After listening for a while, he pushed aside the blanket above his head that had been covered with snow. After the howling snow, it was bright and clear. The sky appears in front of you. The blizzard that raged all the way actually stopped after everyone arrived at their destination.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I'm going to nirvana. Zhuo Bufan cursed, but he was very happy in his heart. People who have not experienced the torment of snowstorms for many days cannot understand this mood. The oppressive sky, the never-ending howling of wind and snow, the extremely heavy feeling of footsteps and the exhaustion that can make you fall asleep while walking. All gone, all gone with the appearance of the sun.
Zhuo Bufan¡¯s actions were naturally not hidden from everyone. After he stood up, everyone woke up, as if there was a rope tied to Zhuo Bufan.
Although Zhuo Bufan wanted to rush out immediately and have fun in the snow under the sun, he of course restrained his impulse. This should be close to Songshan. There are tens of thousands of Tatar elites there, surrounding Songshan like a bucket. If these people were discovered, they would have no chance of surviving.
There is no discussion here, all actions are planned by Zhuo Bufan. Soon, a flower emerged from the snow nest and flew away like a snow fox or civet in the snow. Swift and silent, she was the most suitable person to spy on the enemy.
After Yi Zhihua left, Zhuo Bufan took out a few pieces of white cloth from a package he had always carried on his back. This white cloth was a kind of coarse cloth spun from homespun and then starched and dyed. It was very white and soft, compared to the ones everywhere. Bai Xue is not inferior.
This white cloth was actually folded from opposite sides, with simple stitching on both sides. A slit was made at the fold, and a cloth pocket was sewn on one side of the slit. Zhuo Bufan directly sent one piece to each person, no more, no less, and there were exactly nine pieces in the package.
"General, this, what is this for?" Everyone was naturally confused by Monk Zhang Er.
Zhuo Bufan smiled without saying a word and demonstrated directly. Wearing head sleeves and a hood, a snowman appeared in front of everyone. Everyone suddenly realized that, following the same example, eight snowmen appeared in the snow. They were so funny that everyone couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
Not long after, Yi Zhi Hua discovered the military situation and hurried back, but was horrified to find that Xuewozi's footsteps were sluggish, and Zhuo Bufan and seven of his men were all missing.
A flower died instantly. We can¡¯t go through all the hardships and get here only to have something go wrong. Who has such great ability that even the seven masters can¡¯t hold themselves back? Could it be that there are martial arts masters in the Tatar army? I have never heard of it.
When this man was in a hurry, his mind went crazy, and all kinds of strange and bizarre ideas came out of his head. He didn't even care about his exposed figure, and ran up to a small snow-covered slope next to him, anxiously. Looking around, just like what he had just seen, he saw the vague Songshan City in the distance and the Tatar tents as small as steamed buns. There was snow-white everywhere.??You can tell at a glance that there is no human figure anywhere in the distance.
Yi Zhihua, who was about to rush towards Songshan City, suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon. Although his footsteps were sluggish near Xuewozi, they all disappeared after extending outward for a while. Zhuo Bufan and others seemed to have evaporated from the world. . After discovering something strange, Yihua followed the mark carefully and looked at it. After a closer look, he discovered something was wrong. A slightly yellowish object appeared in the flawless white snow. After counting, it was exactly the same. It's eight.
"I'm so angry!" At this time, Yi Zhi Hua, who was stunned, realized that he was careless, but he was deceived.
Hahaha burst out laughing, and Zhuo Bufan jumped up. He was wearing a white hood and a cloak, which was weird but really useful. Even a flower was deceived for a while.
Putting down a flower and attacking everyone, Songshan's military situation is indeed very urgent.
It's not far from the city, and a flower has just reached the Tatar military camp besieging the city. At this time, the Tatar army is already busy, preparing a large number of ladders, catapults and other siege equipment, among which there are actually a few of them with strange styles. of iron cannon.
"Iron cannon?" Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but wonder. As we all know, the Tatars are not good at firearms and believe in the power of fast horses. The Tatars, who had defeated the Chinese army several times, had captured a lot of firearms and occasionally used them, but in the end they were not put into use. The reason for this is probably that the equipment is not suitable for the prairie cavalry as the main combat force. Another is that the Tatars do not have the ability to produce or even repair firearms. Even for the firearms used in this kind of firecrackers, they do not have the resources and technology. As a result, the installation of firearms has become unthinkable in the Tatar army.
Seeing that Zhuo Bufan attached great importance to this, Yizhihu¨¡ quickly described it in detail. This kind of iron cannon was different from some Dahua artillery that Yizhihu¨¡ knew. The gun mount was relatively low, and there seemed to be some strange hua patterns on the body. , the others cannot be seen clearly.
Zhuo Bufan shook his head. Let¡¯s talk about this later. The most important thing is to quickly find a way to enter the city. Yizhihua also looked at the strange snowman costumes on everyone and said with a smile: "You are not planning to enter the city just like this, are you?"
Zhuo Bufan showed a rare smile today and said: "Of course."
Yizhihua was startled and said quickly: "No, you think all Tatars are blind?" This method is really difficult to spot from a distance, but if you look closely, it is still easy to spot. It would be difficult to sneak into the city in front of thousands of people.
Zhuo Bufan didn't care, he just smiled and shook his head and asked: "The sun is shining in the sky now. When Sister Moon comes out, Hua'er, will you be able to spot us so easily?"
Yi Zhi Hua was first amused by Zhuo Bufan's strange statement, and then his eyes lit up. He could quickly discover that the beautiful snowfield ice crystals under the sun could not tolerate even a grain of sand. At night, even fifteen The moon, I'm afraid, can't let people distinguish such subtle differences.
¡°If we can pass through the heavily guarded and patrolled defense line and reach the city gate, it will be very simple to sneak into the city with the skills of a hu¨¡ and others.
When everyone's confidence increased greatly, and when they showed their skills at night, suddenly there was a sound of shouting and killing from the distance. Among them, there was a thunderous noise, but it was not exactly the direction of Songshan City.
Zhuo Bufan's expression changed, and he clenched his hands tightly. He didn't expect the Tatars to be so anxious. It seemed that they had been waiting for many days because of the snowstorm, and now as soon as it cleared up, they started to attack the city immediately. I had calculated everything, and even prepared the Snow Guerrilla artifact in advance, but I still had to rely on the weather.
No matter what, Songshan City has to survive today.
As if in response to Zhuo Bufan's worry, there were suddenly several different loud noises, and the terrifying vibrations seemed to be felt even from such a long distance.
"Okay!", Zhuo Bufan showed his face again and shouted. This was the sound of the red cannon he had heard at Haishan Pass. It had a range of several miles and was astonishingly powerful. Fire bullets are extremely lethal. Even if solid bullets or loose lead bullets are used, they will hit a large area. This is Dahua's weapon that intimidates the Tartars.
Hearing the sounds of the battlefield so far away is like scratching an itch, which is unbearable. After looking at the snow artifact on his body, Zhuo Bufan gave an order to inspect it on the spot. Not long after, everyone had appeared behind a ridge about three or four miles away from the battlefield in the southeast of Songshan South Gate. This place avoided the front to avoid possible dangers, and at the same time, they could clearly see the situation of most of the battlefield, and even see The figure at the top of the city is still some distance away from the Tatar camp outside the city. Under the cover of the snow artifact, it completely blends into the snowy background.
At this time, there are still snow-capped walls at the head of the city, but there are still people under the city.?Has fallen into a cruel and bloody fiery fight.
On the periphery of the Tatar soldiers, several Tatar cavalry with spiked robes and pointed helmets were plundering the formation. Each thousand-man infantry phalanx was entering the battlefield step by step and entering the route to charge and siege the city. I could only hear the shouts of killing from the city. The Tatar soldiers, like swarming ants, were already robbing the city with ladders. Several ladders had been set up on the top of the city. From time to time, people screamed and fell down from the top of the city and the ladders. Down, smashing into the dense crowd below the city.
Suddenly, several huge white flowers sprouted from the top of the city, followed by terrifying firelight and gunfire. Sure enough, it was not a precious shell, but the huge projectiles tore several terrible gaps in a newly deployed square array, and more than a hundred people fell. A ladder was set up near the muzzle of a red-coated cannon. At this time, the Tatars who had just climbed to the battlements encountered the cannon and opened fire. Suddenly, something even more surprising happened.
