Chapter 863

Hearing Wu Mei's question, Zong Yuan came back to God and said with a smile, "I'm trying to retreat from the enemy."

She knew that Zong Yuan had always been resourceful and resourceful, and his military talent was no less than Qiu Zhen. She asked in a hurry: "did Mr. Zong think of it?"

Zong Yuanwei frowned and looked at the sky. After a long meditation, he grinned and said, "tomorrow, the enemy will retreat."

"Oh?" Lei Zhen stepped forward and asked, "how do you know that the enemy will retreat tomorrow?"

Zong Yuan laughed and said, "general Lei, just arrange the sentry to prevent the Zhen army from attacking the city at night. As for whether the enemy will retreat tomorrow and why, it will be known at that time."

Lei Zhen looks at Zongyuan inexplicably and doesn't know what medicine he sells in his gourd. Today, the Zhen army was defeated in the attack, but its strength is still there. How could it possibly withdraw without any reason? Unless the commander-in-chief of the Zhen army suddenly died, but this is impossible to happen.

Zong Yuan didn't say much. He turned to Wu Mei and said, "madam, aren't there 2000 cavalry in the city? Be prepared to go out of the city and hunt down the true thief at any time. "

Wu Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at Zongyuan strangely. She murmured in her heart that the battle in the daytime was too fierce and dangerous. Did she frighten the brain of this adult Zong? If the Zhen army doesn't come to attack the city, it's lucky for us. If we want to go out of the city to pursue the Zhen army, it's just a dream.

She took Zong Yuan's words as a joke and laughed at her. She said in a soft voice, "master Zong is also tired. Go and have a rest."

Zong Yuan couldn't see Wu Mei's mind. He looked up and laughed and said, "madam, don't worry. I'm very clear headed. If I say that the enemy will retreat, the enemy will certainly retreat. As long as the enemy retreats, it will be extremely difficult. If our army does not pursue and kill, will we not waste good fighters?"

"Then make it clear why the Zhen army retreated!"

"Ha ha!" Zong Yuan laughs strangely, said: "want to come, is the heaven to help me wind not to die!"

Wu Mei and Lei Zhen take a look at each other, and they doubt once again whether Zong Yuan's brain really wants to be as clear as he said.

Of course, Zhenjun will not retreat without any reason. Now that they are close to Fengdu Yancheng and victory is close at hand, Li Cheng will choose to continue to charge forward even if there is a sea of fire ahead.

But something unexpected happened.

In the first half of the night, the wind was calm. In the latter half of the night, the wind and cloud suddenly changed, and the northwest wind was blowing violently.

Zhenjun went to battle with light clothes. The camp they brought was not only thin, but also insufficient in number. Many soldiers slept in the open air. When the cold wind blew, even the soldiers in the camp were shivering with cold.

In such a cold weather, where can people still sleep? One by one, with their necks and arms around, climbs up from the ground, looking for dry firewood everywhere, hoping to make a fire for heating. But there are plains outside Wancheng, where can we find dry firewood? Finally, the Zhen army, which was too cold to bear, could only form a group of several people and keep warm with each other.

Unfortunately, it never rains alone. The cold wind blows more and more fiercely. Then, it snows heavily. The snowflakes like paper are poured down with the cold wind and blow on people's faces like being scratched by a knife.

This heavy snow came too suddenly for the Zhen army. At this time, it was spring. None of the soldiers in the Zhen army, including Li Cheng, thought that this heavy snow could fall in Fengguo in spring. People were unprepared, and they were so frozen that they could not move their armor.

Since the Zhen army entered the wind, they burned, killed and plundered everything. They almost robbed what they saw. However, they did not rob the most worthless clothes. At this time, the temperature dropped suddenly, the cold wind was fierce, and the snowstorm was on the top. People did not even take any preventive measures. Gradually, some people were frozen stiff, lying motionless in the snow, and allowed the snow to slowly bury their bodies.

Now, the soldiers of the Zhen army would rather exchange all the jewels they had snatched for a cotton padded jacket. Unfortunately, no one would exchange it with them.

Li Cheng, who was in the tent, was also awakened by the cold. Wrapped in his cloak, he went out of the camp with a frown. When he went outside, Li Cheng was startled. How could it suddenly snow? Outside, it was snowing and the north wind was howling. Li Cheng couldn't stand standing for just a few seconds. He quickly went back to his camp.

It was cold inside the camp, but at least it was able to withstand the cold wind. Not long after he came back, the tent curtain of the camp was lifted up, and a sharp cold wind immediately blew. It was mixed with snow grains, which made Li Cheng unable to open his eyes. He raised his hand to cover his face and shrieked, "put down the curtain! Put down the curtain

The recent one quickly lowered the curtain, and then carefully fixed it. Li Cheng took out the twister and lit the blown out candle again. Looking up, it was not someone else but his deputy general Xun Xiao.

"General, the weather is suddenly changing and the cold is abnormal. Our army has nothing to protect against the cold. What can we do?" Xun Xiao came to Li Cheng and asked in a quick voice.

Li Cheng didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at this time. He said calmly: "let the brothers stick to it for one night. Tomorrow morning, our army will attack Wancheng again. This time, we will kill the wind troops in Guangcheng city. The brothers can live in the city to keep out the cold."Xun Xiao shook his head like a rattle and said in a quick voice, "I can't wait for tomorrow. General, our camp account is not enough. Many brothers are sleeping outside. It's freezing. So far, my brothers have been frozen to death. "

Did someone freeze to death? Li Cheng's face flashed with astonishment. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "how many people were killed by freezing in our army?"

"I don't know. It's snowing too hard. Even if my brothers are frozen, they will soon be buried in the snow! General, if we wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid there won't be a few left in our army. " Xun Xiao said in a series.

Li Cheng clenched his fist and murmured, "can't we attack the city all night?"

"That's even worse. The armor of the soldiers is frozen like ice. It's hard to move, let alone attack the city! "

Li Cheng patted the table heavily, and then he said, "it's not good either. Xun Xiao, what should I do now?"

If Xun Xiao has an idea, he doesn't have to come to Li Cheng for instructions. He lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know."

"Hum!" Li Cheng snorted heavily, put on his clothes, put on his shoes, and then wrapped up his cloak. He shook his head at Xun Xiao and said, "let's go out and have a look."

Out of the camp and outside, Li Cheng fought several cold wars. The cold wind was blowing on his skin, and a large number of snowflakes were slapping on his face. With burning pain, Li Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked around. If he didn't look carefully, he could hardly see anyone. Looking carefully, he found that his own soldiers were embracing each other in groups and covered with snow In their bodies, they are about to blend into the snow.

At this time, people were numb by the freezing, no longer shivering, no longer fighting the cold war, each like an ice sculpture sitting on the ground motionless, do not know whether it is dead or alive.

Originally, the barracks were for the wounded soldiers, but now, the wounded soldiers have been dragged out by the cold and crazy soldiers. Instead, they squeeze in. No matter whether the wounded soldiers are dead or alive outside, the soldiers who enter the barracks are not warm for long. The north wind is blowing fiercer and fiercer. Many barracks are rolled into the air, causing a lot of screams below.

It's over! Li Cheng's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. When does the wind country cool down and snow is not good, how can we rush to the time when our side is about to break through Yancheng? Victory is in sight, but God is not complete, this is not enough wind country, or heaven does not help me big Zhen?

Li Cheng sighed in his heart that the five flavors are complete. Xun Xiao is right. In this weather, you can't attack the city, and with your current supplies, you can't keep out the cold. It's not like fighting or staying. Now there's only one way to go and retreat. We can only withdraw the city and then make plans.

Li Cheng led the army to fight a fierce battle. He only knew how to advance, but he did not know how to retreat. Now, weather factors make him have to choose to retreat.

In fact, Fengguo is not a sudden change in the weather. The temperature is suddenly cold and the sky is snowing. This has long been a foreboding. In recent days, the weather in the central part of Fengguo has always been gloomy. Even in broad daylight, the sky is gray and the sun is not visible. Zong Yuan had foreseen this, so he dared to assert that the Zhen army could not stand the cold and had to withdraw.

The result really let him calculate, this night for the Zhen army is like a nightmare in hell.

Li Cheng ordered the retreat, but many of the officers and soldiers sat on the ground and did not get up at all, thinking that they had not heard the order. Someone came up to push them and tried to wake them up. As a result, the soldiers who were surrounded by him fell to the ground one after another. People's faces were bloodless and covered with frost. But strangely, the corners of their mouths were picked up and looked like Smiling.

This is the sign of being frozen to death. Because of the cold, the muscles of the face are atrophied, and the corners of the mouth rise, as if they are smiling, but they are actually out of breath.

A large number of Zhen soldiers stopped breathing forever and never stood up again. Among them, there were ordinary soldiers and spiritual practitioners with advanced cultivation. No matter how deep their cultivation was, no matter how strong the spiritual armor was, it could block the swords and guns, but it could not resist the cold.

In the attack on Wancheng, about 10000 soldiers of the Zhen army were killed. However, in the past half night, no less than 20000 soldiers were killed, most of them wounded.

Even so, during the retreat, some people fell to the ground and were covered with snow.

The retreat of the Zhen army was not pursued by the enemy, but it was extremely miserable. They walked together and died together. Countless soldiers of the Zhen army fell in the snow and never got up again.

It's true that people will slow down in cold weather. Li Cheng retreated to the direction of Fengcheng, but he didn't think that when he led his army to leave the city, he had already burned a fire there. Now there are only broken bricks and tiles left. Even if he arrived at Fengcheng, how could he keep out the cold?

However, after entering the wind, the Zhen army went out of control. After killing, they robbed and burned. All the towns they passed were torched by them. They couldn't find a place to keep out the cold. This can be regarded as a tomb dug by the Zhen army.
