On the second day of the Chinese New Year, heavy snow began to fall. For two consecutive days, there was a thick layer of snow on the eaves and roads.
The heavy snow also gave the two armies, which had been deadlocked for two days, a chance to catch their breath.
But the falling snow also brings other problems.
The roads are blocked by snow, supplies are difficult to transport, and the front line is struggling to hold on.
As the snow melts, the weather becomes colder.
The soldiers on the front line were not used to the sudden drop in temperature and were not as brave as before when fighting the enemy.
Seeing this situation, the prince has begun to prepare for evacuation. If the border city wall cannot be defended, he can only retreat to Dingzhou City with his troops.
But now, they still need to give it a try.
The enemy in this environment is undoubtedly the icing on the cake.
This kind of cold environment is commonplace for the enemy, but for them, it is adding insult to injury.
At night, they could even hear cheers coming from the enemy camp.
Those people were celebrating, celebrating that even God was helping them.
Those people were shouting.
He roared wildly that he would capture Dingzhou.
The head of King Dingbei must be taken off.
To flatten the entire Dingzhou.
Kill all the untouchables in Dingzhou.
The enemy is strong and we are weak, but everyone in Dingzhou firmly believes that the prince will save them from danger.
The princess also tried her best to help the prince solve the problem of transporting supplies.
It was snowing heavily, but they relied on manpower to open up a transportation route and transported goods back and forth non-stop.
Perhaps because they have been very busy these past two days, people in Zhang You's team have fallen ill one after another with low-grade fever.
Zhang You collapsed from exhaustion just after delivering food and supplies to Ling Village.
They had a low-grade fever that came and went, and to prevent infection, they were forced to stay in the home of an evacuated villager.
Zhang You was lying on the earthen kang, his head was dizzy and aching, and he was still worried about the war on the border.
It's too disadvantageous.
The right time and place.
None of this is on their side.
Even the harmony among people became panic among those who fell one after another.
At this time, if those people attack again, the soldiers on the border can only resist for a moment.
Retreat is probably inevitable.
Are we going to retreat again and again?
When they retreated to the end, there was no more room for retreat, the city was destroyed and everyone died.
But the imperial reinforcements are still on the way. If they retreat to defend the city, can they hold out until the reinforcements arrive?
As Zhang You thought about these things, his head hurt even more.
…
"Oh no, oh no!
The enemy is coming!
Quickly pack up and prepare to leave!!”
"Ah! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"Second Miss! Fourth Miss! Hurry up and pack up and prepare to retreat!"
Shortly after noon, people began to shout in panic in the village to retreat.
What is coming will eventually come.
There was a commotion outside. When the news of the retreat came, everyone was a little confused.
"Huh? What's going on? I still have a fever, how can I run?"
A little girl who was in the same room with Zhang You started crying.
Afraid that he would be left to die in vain.
"Wake up! Everyone, wake up! Pack up your things and run with them. If you don't run, you're really going to die."
There were also sober people who urged others to pack up and run away.
Zhang You hurriedly packed his things.
She was wrapped in a thick coat and followed the carriage procession.
Qiao Er and Qiao Si have been staying in Zero Village these days to deal with various trivial matters here.
One followed the military doctor to treat the wounded.
Another is to manage material supplies.
Under their management these days, Zero Village has been relatively well-organized.
Now that they were about to retreat, they arranged everything in an orderly manner. The wounded who could not walk rode on donkey carts, and the others who could walk followed the carts with their luggage.
All the heavy supplies that could not be taken away were left behind.
Ensure the safety of everyone here first.
In just one stick of incense, everyone hurriedly set out on the road back to the city.
Zhang You sat on the donkey cart, looking at a huge army following behind him a few hundred meters away.
She felt mixed emotions.
Still got here.
She began to twirl her string of wooden beads again.
Looking at the Zero Village gradually moving away.
Praying silently in my heart...
Although she had only been here for four days, she had seen too many people who were unable to recover due to severe injuries.
She has too many memories that she can't forget.
Looking at the group of enemies, riding on their horses, waving their weapons, and rushing towards Zero Village while shouting.
Zhang You still felt sad for no reason.
A kind of sadness that comes from being homeless and having no choice but to escape.
"Boom—bang—bang—"
Suddenly! A huge explosion was heard from Zero Village.
"stop!"
The team stopped.
The bracelet in Zhang You's hand was shaken and scattered all over the floor.
The beads fell into the still-melted snow and disappeared without a sound.
After a burst of fire, Zero Village turned into a charred ruin, with thick smoke rising from the ruins.
The group of Di people who invaded Ling Village were also overwhelmed by the sudden explosion and became silent.
"Two people come with me to investigate!"
From a distance, I saw the prince's deputy general and two people riding back on horseback to check the situation.
After a while, they began to retreat again.
But the troops behind turned back.
They had a bumpy ride and arrived in the city in the afternoon.
It was not until night that I finally received news from the prince.
The sudden explosion killed more than half of the enemy's elite troops.
