Chapter 410
Auspicious Snow This rare snow fell overnight. The next morning, when Jindong opened the door, she was very excited to find that the trees were covered with white and the roof and the ground were covered with a layer of snow.
"It's so beautiful." Jindong, who rarely saw snow, exclaimed and grabbed a handful.
It was fluffy, soft, and pure white. Although it was cold, it made people love it.
Hearing the "crunching" footsteps behind her, Jindong raised a wicked smile, scooped up a handful of snow, turned around and threw it over.
"Ha, Sister Lian Xuan..."
The person who was sprinkled with snow did not respond, and looked at Jindong coldly.
Leng Xing, who had just woken up, was caught off guard and was sprinkled with snow all over his head and face, and was a little dazed.
Because he was caught off guard, Jindong's handful of snow was almost all sprinkled on Leng Xing. There were snowflakes on her hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and even a small ball hanging on the tip of her nose.
The white snow matched Leng Xing's cold face very well, and it really fits the four words "cold as ice".
Seeing who it was, Rendong swallowed panic and apologized hurriedly: "Sister Leng Xing, I didn't know it was you, I didn't mean it."
Rendong stepped forward, stretched out her hand to brush off the snow on Leng Xing's head and body, and finally used her sleeve to wipe the snow foam on Leng Xing's face.
Leng Xing turned her head away, raised her hand to wipe the snow foam on her face, and left without saying a word.
Rendong looked at her back and stuck out his tongue.
It's over, it's over, she won't be angry anymore, right?
Rendong was a little flustered, and chased after her and continued to apologize sincerely.
Leng Xing was annoyed by her, frowned and said impatiently: "If you say another word, I will be really angry."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Ren Dong quickly covered her mouth.
Seeing that Leng Xing didn't bother with her, Ren Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to the water room to light a fire and boil water, and waited on Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng to wash up.
Since she received the task of taming geese yesterday, Ren Dong didn't serve Jiang Shu during the day, and only served for a while in the morning and evening. Just as
Ren Dong finished boiling the water, Lian Xuan came in with a basin, filled it with hot water and took it to the main house.
After washing up and walking out of the house, Jiang Shu saw the white snow everywhere, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
Seeing the snow, Jiang Shu felt relaxed.
Seeing Yu Zheng coming over, Jiang Shu chuckled and said, "Auspicious snow is a good sign. Yicheng will surely defeat Nanyan."
Yu Zheng looked at the vast white snow, his expression slightly relaxed.
This snow helped them extend the time. Although it would not last too long, it could make the generals feel relieved and boost the morale of the army to a certain extent.
It is not important whether the auspicious astronomical omen is true or false. What is important is that the people believe in it and can be comforted and encouraged.
After breakfast, Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu and Zhou Boxu went to the military camp together.
Taking advantage of the cold weather, the poisonous snakes in Nanyan could not be controlled. Yu Zheng discussed with Zhou Boxu and decided to launch a surprise attack.
As soon as he arrived at the military camp, Yu Zheng summoned the generals and organized the army to go out.
Jiang Shu stayed in the army and urged the rear service camp to prepare food.
Yu Zheng told her that the battle today might take a long time and food needed to be transported to the battlefield.
So as soon as Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu led the army away, Jiang Shu immediately made arrangements to provide rear support so that they would not have to worry about the future.
On a cold and snowy day, Xiao Lin was drinking hot wine in his tent to warm himself up, when he suddenly saw the tent opened and a scout rushed into the tent with a cold wind.
"Report! Dazhao attacked!" The scout knelt down and reported urgently.
Another attack?
Xiao Lin smashed the wine glass in his hand when he heard it, and stood up angrily and said: "Organize the army to fight! Let the beast master get the tiger down quickly."
It was too cold and snowy, and the venomous snakes could not fight at all, so they could only use the tiger for help.
"Yes." The soldier took the order and left.
Xiao Lin took the fur coat handed to him by the maid, put it on, and walked out of the tent with great momentum.
He wanted to see how powerful the people of Dazhao were.
Even without the beast army, the Nanyan army was not afraid of the Dazhao people.
Soon, Nanyan gathered its troops, and Xiao Lin gave an order, and the army set out in a mighty manner to fight at the place where they fought last time.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The two sides were already mortal enemies, and there was no verbal negotiation. They fought as soon as they met.
Just like last time, Nanyan led with the tigers, and Dazhao responded with the iron armored army as the vanguard.
Although the iron armored army could not withstand the tigers, it could effectively resist the tigers, which was enough for Dazhao.
In the end, the battlefield was divided, the light cavalry cooperated with the iron armored army to block the tigers, and the two infantry fought in close combat.
Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu stood on the high ground, their eyes fixed on the battlefield. After an hour, the Nanyan venomous snakes disappeared, and they knew that their speculation was true.
It was snowing, and these few days were a good opportunity for them, and they must seize it.
The Dazhao generals, who were originally worried, were relieved after fighting for a long time and really did not see the Nanyan venomous snakes. They turned their anger into strength, and their morale was boosted, and they fought more and more bravely.
The sky was gloomy, and the fierce battle was so intense that time passed without noticing. In a blink of an eye, it was already noon, and the rear service camp sent food.
Yicheng is rich in taro, so the food sent included rice cakes and noodles, as well as steamed taro.
The generals took turns to eat and rest, and the battle continued.
Xiao Lin, who was on the opposite side, saw Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu standing on the high ground eating taro from a distance, and he was so angry that he yelled: "Where is our food? Why hasn't it been delivered yet? What are those idiots in the rear service camp doing!"
The general who was scolded innocently did not dare to refute, and could only respond and go back to urge.
Two quarters of an hour later, the rear service camp finally delivered the food.
The hungry generals hurried to eat, find a chance to rest, and then replace them in the battle.
If the last raid shocked Nan Yan, then this raid made them a little scared.
Without the support of the venomous snake, Da Zhao attacked fiercely like a madman, and they could only bite the bullet and fight back.
It's not that the generals of Dazhao are stronger than the army of Nanyan, but Nanyan is used to relying on the beast army, and feels lucky. Now that they have suddenly lost their support, they are panicked.
After all, no one wants to die.
But the people of Dazhao seem to be fearless, rushing forward one after another, fierce and unmatched.
Because they have different beliefs.
The generals of Dazhao knew very well that Nanyan was determined to take Yicheng. Even if they hid and did not attack, Nanyan would not let them go after the spring came.
By then, not to mention them, even their families would be doomed. Since they
couldn't escape it anyway, they might as well seize this God-given opportunity and fight hard. Maybe there would be a turning point. It's death anyway, and dying in battle is more pleasant than being tortured to death by snake venom. With
this idea in mind, the generals of Dazhao were determined and fearless, and attacked bravely.
The Nanyan army was frightened by this fearless fighting style, but they had no way to retreat and could only fight hard.
After half a day of fierce fighting, it was already afternoon. Seeing that Dazhao had no plans to withdraw, the generals of Nanyan were a little panicked.
"Your Majesty, if we continue the battle, our army may suffer heavy casualties." General Zuo's face was solemn.
Xiao Lin glared at him and said, "What can we do? Are you going to persuade Da Zhao to cease fire?"
It was obvious that he did not have the face and ability to do so.
General Zuo was choked and speechless, and retreated to the side in a muffled voice.
As time passed, the number of corpses on the ground increased, and Xiao Lin gritted his teeth.
But soon, things took a turn for the better.
The climate in Yicheng could not stay cold, and although the sky was gloomy, the snow was still slowly melting and disappearing. By the evening, the snow on the trees had fallen clean, and most of the snow on the ground had melted.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin smiled triumphantly.
