The sunlight disappeared, and the heavy snow began to fall again. In the snow, a group of people, which could be considered a large group in that era, marched forward in the snow.
Han Cheng no longer had the high spirits he had when he first set out. He was now hunching his neck in an ungraceful manner, wishing he could hide his entire head inside his leather jacket.
Standing on the sled, he took small steps from time to time to provide some heat to his feet.
Marching in the snow and unexpectedly delivering a fatal blow to the enemy - just thinking about it makes one yearn for it and feel extremely excited. However, when it really comes to carrying it out, it is extremely uncomfortable.
The history books only record that Li Jing took advantage of the heavy snow to launch a surprise attack on the Turks and defeated them, thus eliminating the strongest threat to the Tang Dynasty in the north in one battle, washing away the shame of the Wei River Alliance, and making the name of the Heavenly Khan spread among the tribes in the Western Regions. But it did not mention how much hardship these soldiers endured while climbing on ice and sleeping in the snow during the surprise attack.
Perhaps this is true for many things in the world. When looking at people, people only care about how much you have achieved. As for how much hardship and suffering you have endured in order to accomplish these things, not many people care.
Han Cheng, feeling the cold, looked at the people sitting on the sleds and those who were struggling to move forward in the snow, and felt very emotional.
This is how it is. Dreams are beautiful, but the wind, frost, rain and snow that one has to go through on the way to the dreams are very uncomfortable.
Some people survived, while others were frightened by the snow and wind and changed their direction and dreams... Little did they know that the road to another dream was also full of difficulties...
The surprise attack on the semi-agricultural tribe led by Han Cheng will not be frightened by the wind and snow.
On the one hand, it is because everyone is full of confidence in this, and on the other hand, everyone who is walking has a magical weapon to keep warm.
As the crowd walked, someone would occasionally take out a tightly sealed ceramic bottle from his pocket.
The leader of the Bear Tribe carefully uncorked the bottle, brought it to his lips, and drank some of the wine inside.
When the sour wine entered his mouth, he was reluctant to swallow it immediately. Instead, he let it stay in his mouth for a while, fully feeling the taste, before swallowing it bit by bit.
As the wine went down my throat, a warm feeling went down my throat into my stomach.
The leader of the bear tribe shivered warmly and immediately felt comfortable all over, as if he had warmed up a lot.
This is really a good thing!
He held the bottle of wine in his hand and looked at it for a while. Although he wanted to take two big gulps, he forced himself to hold back.
Instead, he plugged it tightly with a stopper and then solemnly put it back into his arms.
Because before we set off, the Son of God had told us that we could only drink a little when we couldn't stand the cold anymore, and there was only one bottle of this stuff per person, and if we drank it all, there would be no more.
This wine is really good stuff.
The bear tribe leader once again sighed in his heart that although the taste was not very good, it was unforgettable after drinking it.
Thinking of the wine he had wasted because he choked on it before the expedition, the leader of the Bear Tribe couldn't help but feel distressed...
"Just walk forward for another half a day and you'll reach the Semi-Agricultural Tribe!"
The eldest brother came to where Han Cheng was and reported to Han Cheng excitedly.
There was no need to worry about making mistakes regarding the journey, because in addition to the captives from the Sheep Tribe with tattoos on their faces, they also brought two slaves from the Semi-Agricultural Tribe who had been trained to be obedient.
As long as the three of them who are not together are here, it must be correct.
As soon as the eldest brother said this, everyone, including Han Cheng, couldn't help but be cheered up.
I have been out for several days, and it has been boring walking in the snow. The cold and fatigue are the most torturous to my mind and body.
Hearing that they were finally going to reach that evil tribe, how could everyone not be excited.
Many people looked at the respected Son of God with hope, eager for him to give the order to move quickly so that they could reach the semi-agricultural tribe before dark.
After defeating the Semi-Agricultural Tribe, they could rest in the strange cave of the Semi-Agricultural Tribe at night.
However, to their disappointment, Han Cheng shook his head after thinking for a while.
“After walking at normal speed for a while, start to rest.
Make more hot soup, so that everyone can eat their fill and have a good sleep, then we can go to the semi-agricultural tribe and attack it."
Han Cheng looked at everyone and said.
After marching in the snow for several days in a row, even with sleds, wine, socks, gloves and other things, it was inevitable that everyone would feel tired.
It would be too hasty to have a forced march at this time and then fight with the people of the semi-agricultural tribe without stopping.
You know, the number of people in the Ban-Agricultural Tribe is not small. If we charge in without rest, even if we can defeat the Ban-Agricultural Tribe in one fell swoop, the casualties on our side will inevitably increase.
At this time, the mountains were covered with snow and many birds and beasts had become extinct. The people of the semi-agricultural tribe certainly could not have expected that they would lead people to attack them at this time.
This means that whether it passes today or tomorrow, the effect of the surprise attack will be the same.
In this case, why not let everyone have a good rest, recover their strength, and then attack the semi-agricultural tribe calmly?
"Good things are worth waiting for. We have waited for such a long time. There will be many benefits if we wait a little longer. What's wrong with waiting a little longer?"
Han Cheng looked at everyone and spoke.
After he made the final decision on this matter, no one mentioned the idea of directly calling them over anymore.
Instead, he followed Han Cheng's instructions and continued on his journey obediently.
Although he understood what the Son of God said and felt it was very correct, he just wanted to attack the semi-agricultural tribe as soon as possible.
This is the voice of many people, but they can only suppress it in their hearts and endure the discomfort of scratching their heads.
After walking forward for another half a day, at Han Cheng's command, everyone stopped in a sheltered valley.
Some people began to skillfully build tents, pile snow on them to build snow houses, and some people used ropes to set up defensive measures outside the base.
Someone wanted to light a fire, as they did in the past, to melt the snow to feed the deer and cook food, but was stopped by Han Cheng.
This place is not too far from the Semi-Agricultural Tribe, only about five or six miles away. If we light a fire now, there is no guarantee that the people in the Semi-Agricultural Tribe will not see the smoke column.
Once the smoke column is seen, the whereabouts of him and others will be exposed, and the effectiveness of the surprise attack will be greatly reduced.
At this moment, everyone had no choice but to eat some cold food to fill their stomachs.
Wait until it gets dark, light a fire in the snow house, and then boil water to cook food.
The firelight will be blocked by the snow house, and the smoke will melt into the night, leaving no trace.
After explaining the matter, while everyone was busy with their own things, Han Cheng found Shang, Mao and seven or eight other people from the tribe. He took the tattooed slave from the Sheep Tribe, weapons and some food, left the group and headed towards the semi-agricultural tribe in the east.
The purpose of this trip is to check the terrain near the semi-agricultural tribe and prepare for tomorrow's attack.
After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Although it was a bit hard, compared with saving the tribe from death, it was nothing...
