The avalanche that occurred in the northern military camp and the series of subsequent events were exactly as Xie Ruiyuan had imagined. After learning that the food and fodder of the 300,000-strong army was buried under the snow, Bei Mo's restless hearts began to stir and began to count their troops, ready to attack Beiling City at any time.
You have to know that Beimo has been paying close attention to the movements of Beiling City all the time. This year's winter is really too cold. Even though they have made sufficient preparations before winter, when winter really comes, they still feel that no matter how much preparation they make, it will be of no avail.
This winter is indeed much colder than before. Countless cattle and sheep have been frozen to death on the grassland. That would have been one thing, but because the wind was so strong, many yurts were blown away. Without tents to shelter from the wind and rain, many herdsmen were frozen to death in the biting cold wind.
The more people died, the more they felt that if they had a house to live in, they wouldn't have to worry about their tent being blown away by the wind. They didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so they could only endure the cold. When they really couldn't bear it anymore, they could only accept their fate and freeze to death.
But they are also human beings, no less inferior than the Zhou people. Why should they have to live a nomadic life? The food and drink of the whole family depends on cattle and sheep. If the cattle and sheep are infected with plague, they will most likely all die, and then they will lose their source of survival.
But it is different for the people of the Zhou Dynasty who live on the land of Da Zhou. You must know that Da Zhou is a vast country with rich resources. It not only has vast and fertile land, but also can grow not only grain, but also cotton and other crops. They can survive in one place for a long time and lead a happy and fulfilling life.
Why are we all human beings treated differently? They are not satisfied. They also want to have land and a house of their own. They no longer have to migrate frequently and can live a settled life.
In the past, the Great Zhou was strong, and the victorious God of War, King Chen, was stationed on the northern border. Even if they had many ideas, they put their ambitions on the surface.
He only sent a small number of cavalry to harass some remote villages and steal food.
The reason they dared to do this was, firstly, because the cavalry had high mobility, which allowed them to rob and run away. Even if the robbed people came out to chase them, it would be useless and they could only watch their horses' butts and cry.
The second reason is that the place they chose is far away from the garrison in the north. Even if the garrison knew that they were robbing, they would not be afraid. After all, by the time the garrison arrived at the place, they would have run away without even a trace of their presence.
䀴Once they entered the grassland, it was like a fish entering the water. It was a pipe dream to want to find them.
Third, the border of the Great Zhou is too vast and covers many places. Even if the Great Zhou has more troops, it is impossible to cover every place. There will always be some places that are not taken care of. This gives them the opportunity to find loopholes.
It was under this situation that they and the Great Zhou Dynasty maintained this way of communication for the past few years, but this year they did not want to continue like this.
On the one hand, the snowstorm this year was so severe that countless cattle and sheep were frozen to death, bringing a devastating disaster to the grassland.
On the other hand, they also received news that Prince Chen was not in the Beilingcheng military camp, but had gone to a place in Qingshan Prefecture to resettle the victims.
Although they didn't know why Prince Chen, who couldn't walk, went to Qingshan Prefecture and took on the task of disaster relief, the news was absolutely true. They believed that the northern army without Prince Chen was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, so they didn't need to take it too seriously. Of course, they couldn't let their guard down either.
Just as they were planning to attack Beiling City, they didn't expect that God was not only cruel to them, Beimo. The army stationed in Beiling City was actually hit by an avalanche.
Avalanche, it was an avalanche. When the people of Beimo heard that an avalanche had occurred where the Beilingcheng military camp was stationed, they all cheered.
