Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 211 Another Team on the Road

The silence after the snow stopped was even more disturbing.

Liu Yunyan thought about it for a long time and decided to go to Shopkeeper Shen to discuss and see if she had any good ideas.

At this time, Shen You was looking for large items nearby. He added a Song Dynasty-style airplane-sleeve top to his warm clothing, and put on an outdoor down jacket, a mask, and an eye mask.

Wearing all the ancient clothes requires a lot of wrapping, and you also need an outdoor down jacket, which is warm and light.

She marked the photos and followed the ancient trail to look for it. When Liu Yunyan brought people over, she looked at the abstract snowman at the door of the shop and fell into deep thought.

"It turned out to be a snowman, hi." Uncle Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and put away the knife in his hand.

Before he got closer, he thought he was looking at a ghost. It was so ugly!

"Manager Shen, are you going out to absorb the essence of heaven and earth?" Another general looked at her outfit and opened his mouth slightly.

It's a bit strange, it looks like a down jacket, but aren't down jackets meant to be worn underneath? And there's such a long style?

Shen You pretended to be profound and pondered for a moment, "Look for something to see if I can get a glimpse of the history of this place thousands of years ago."

A few people didn't understand, but they nodded anyway.

As an expert, it’s normal to be a little weird.

Shen You took them into the house, and after they sat down, Liu Yunyan talked about the current situation and difficulties.

"It's not surprising that the Lu family army couldn't win. If ten infantrymen can exchange for one heavy cavalry, it's considered a good fight." Shen You responded.

Da Qi simply cannot achieve a ten-for-one exchange. Foreigners are more resistant to the cold and have higher martial strength than the people of Da Qi.

It has both chain mail and scale mail, and has high defense against ordinary weapons.

These armors were made in the Great Qi Dynasty during the previous emperor's period. The old emperor wasted the country's fortune and did great harm to people.

In ancient times, people talked about an army of hundreds of thousands, but in fact there were not that many people. An army of 10,000 or 20,000 who could fight was considered very strong.

It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of people, including logistics and various other personnel.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the Great Qi army of tens of thousands to be afraid of two thousand heavy cavalry.

In the era of cold weapons, the only army that could fight against the heavy cavalry was the heavy cavalry.

That being said, in the eyes of Da Qi generals like Liu Yunyan, the Lu family army was the most capable and best-equipped team in Da Qi, and they fought so badly against foreigners.

They always feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

Is the shame of nearly losing our country decades ago going to happen again?
"I still have two barrels of oil here, plus the supplies you took away earlier, maybe we can hold out for a while."

Fire attack is the only solution when foreigners are about to break in. It is really not easy for Shuozhou City to survive.

Shen You thought about it and said, "Why not take advantage of the fact that it's almost dawn and disrupt the other party's sight."

The heavy cavalry and the siege army are not in the same direction, so there will be an information gap in between.

It's best to delay it as long as possible.

Liu Yunyan took the loudspeaker and telescope, and Shen You turned all the empty beer bottles they brought into Molotov cocktails.

Uncle Zhou and his colleagues started to move things. The important supplies were still stored in the store and would be taken out when needed.

Now, no matter what strange things Shen You takes out, everyone seems to be used to it.

Liu Yunyan said, "Shopkeeper Shen, the doctor in the army asked me to ask you if you could teach him how to make medicine. He wants to become your disciple."

He thinks too highly of her. Shen You sighed, "I don't know how to make medicine, so I ask others to send it to me."

Everyone suddenly realized that he must be a fellow Taoist master.

Everyone in the city was worried about how to defend against the enemy. In a tent not far from Shuozhou City, the foreigners also discussed the issue all night.

They never figured out how to break the Molotov cocktails, and they were anxious and angry because of the frustration.

"There was just a heavy snowstorm, and the Da Qi people are short of troops. They must be exhausted and their defense is lax."

"If we send out troops now, we can catch them off guard and clear the way for the heavy cavalry!"

"I don't believe it. How many glass bottles can they smash? It's impossible for them to have an endless supply of supplies." "Yes, maybe they did it to confuse us. The supplies should have been almost used up in the past two days."

It is so difficult to transport things to the north. How much can Da Qi transport?

They also couldn't keep wasting time fighting with the Da Qi people in such cold weather.

Those who couldn't hold on, especially the soldiers under them, had a hard time with Blizzard in the past two days.

Heating fuel is running low and some people are already sick.

It’s impossible for the people of Da Qi to have a better life than them in these two days!
With this idea in mind, the foreigners organized their troops and set out. Calculating the time, they found that the Iron Cavalry would soon arrive.

By then, if the army led by the general of the Great Qi came to Shuozhou, they would catch them in the trap.

If they go to support Lu's army, they can also surround them.

If these two armies are defeated, the Great Qi will be destroyed!
at the same time.

The army led by General Qi Tai also had trouble on the road. They traveled day and night and encountered a snowstorm as soon as they entered the north.

Coupled with the extremely cold weather, it was difficult to move.

Even a team under Pang Cheng's command was blown away by the storm, and the captain was not found.

In the Great Qi army, one hundred men formed a team, and twenty-five men formed a squad.

The captain of this team was supposed to arrange people to explore the way, but the way was not found and the people died first. Then Pang Cheng sent the captain to look for them.

It's just like the gourd baby saving his grandfather, and the captain didn't come back either.

The blizzard was getting stronger and stronger, and I couldn't even open my eyes when walking against the wind.

If they don't find a place to hide, they will suffer heavy casualties before they even have to fight the foreigners.

It just so happened that the captain was somewhat related to Pang Cheng, and he wanted to save people. The two generals with the surname Pang were of the same blood.

When the wind was strongest, the military flag was almost blown down, and someone lost his balance and fell, then was blown over and fell off the mountain trail.

The orders from the generals in front could not be delivered in time, and the originally orderly team became more and more chaotic in the blizzard.

"Keep going, don't retreat to the valley, we must reach a suitable place to camp before nightfall!" Wen Zhi gave the order.

The two generals surnamed Pang and their faction advocated retreating into the valley. After the last time, they had restrained themselves somewhat, but they were still unwilling to submit.

With such heavy snow and wind, anyone could see that they couldn't leave.

Still going forward? Aren't you crazy?!
They dared not speak their mind, and said,

"It's still two hours before nightfall. The wind can be blocked in the valley. How can we continue to march in this situation? Master Imperial Master, do you really not care about the lives of these soldiers?"

Wen Zhi held the reins with one hand and glanced over with a sharp look in his eyes.

"I really want you to fall and wake up. If you don't care about their lives, you should agree with your opinion."

He looked at Pang Qihong, the man who was in charge of the Pang family faction, and said coldly, "Keep going!"

I told you last time that if you delay any further, he will take action.

"The State Master is the military advisor of the Saint himself. Since it is an order from the State Master, we should obey it." Pang Qihong sneered.

"But, this time it was the Imperial Master who insisted on moving forward. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to take the responsibility."

They tried to stop him, but failed. If the imperial teacher's command was wrong this time, they would take the opportunity to seize his power by accusing him of delaying military operations.

Pang Cheng had more to say, but finally shut up at the signal from Pang Qihong's eyes.

In this kind of weather, it is impossible to delay things for a captain. I can only hope that he is lucky.

After this little episode, the army moved forward again.

The wind and snow were getting colder, making the march more difficult. We had not yet seen the place where Wen Zhi had mentioned where we could hide from the wind and snow.

Pang Qihong sneered. Let’s see what he will do with such a big mess.
