Chapter 91 Heavy Snow

Xue Bing sat in the big tent with a brazier in front of her. The fire in the basin was very strong, but after all, it was just a small brazier. No matter how powerful Xue Bing was, she could not let the heat emitted by such a small brazier be roasted to her whole body.

It is winter now, and the weather outside is getting colder and colder, and it is no longer cold at this time. Just look at the ground and it will freeze into ice in no time.

Only then did Xue Bing realize that the winter in Sichuan was not as warm as he thought, and it was still there at least a few degrees below zero.

According to those soldiers who are familiar with the weather in Sichuan, Hanzhong is much colder than this when it is the coldest in winter. According to Xue Bing, it can reach minus ten degrees.

If we could reach that temperature, let alone the troops opposite, our own troops that have prepared a lot of clothes would probably have non-combat reductions.

The use of cold protection at this time is far from comparable to later generations. The clothes are not warm and the tents are not warm. This is also the reason why it is not suitable for military use in the north in winter. It is too easy to see large-scale non-combat reductions.

Xue Bing sat here and thought for a while, not only did he not feel warm, but he felt he was getting colder and colder. "Go out for a walk, maybe it would warm up if you move!" Thinking of this, Xue Bing got up, ordered his guard to look at the brazier, and looked out of the tent and left.

The soldiers in the village were wearing thick clothes at this time, and they all looked stronger than usual. While walking, they suddenly heard the sound of water whirring in front of them, which was very incoherent.

Xue Bing was stunned when she heard the sound. Where did the sound of water come from in the village? So she looked forward. After a while, she had already arrived in front of Ma Chao's large tent. She saw a strong man in front of the tent, wearing only a set of trousers, holding a bucket in both hands and looking at the water pouring water on her body.

Xue Bing looked carefully and found that it was not Ma Chao. Then he asked, "Meng Qi, is this?"

When Ma Chao heard the sound, he stopped his hand and turned to look aside. Seeing that it was Xue Bing, he smiled and said, "Zihan is here. I have been in the village for so many days, but I haven't taken a shower once. I have nothing to do today, so I took a shower."

Xue Bing walked to Ma Chao for a long time, but felt a cold air coming to his face. Ma Chao was sizzling with white breath. When Xue Bing saw this, she knew that the water was cold water. "Meng Qi took a cold shower in such weather? Are you not afraid of getting sick?"

Ma Chao put down the bucket and immediately handed a dry cloth on his left and right sides. Ma Chao took it and wiped his body and replied: "I was in Xiliang in the past. I also took a cold shower when I was colder than this, so I was not afraid of the cold.

"As he was talking, a cold wind blew, and Ma Chao shivered unconsciously. Seeing Xue Bing's face smiling, he said, "The wind has been very strong in the past few days." After saying that, he looked up at the sky.

But I didn't know that it would be fine if I didn't look at it. After seeing it, Ma Chao's face gradually became solemn.

Xue Bing was close to the ground, so she could see clearly. Seeing Ma Chao's face changed, she followed him to look into the sky. She saw that there were many clouds in the sky, which blocked the sunlight a lot. Xue Bing was originally a northerner.

Seeing this situation, he guessed a situation in his heart. But after all, he didn't understand this knowledge, so he looked at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao lowered his head and saw Xue Bing's solemn expression on his face, he said in surprise: "Is Zihan a native of the North?"

Xue Bing replied: "I have lived in the north for many years!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chao nodded in a clear way, took the clothes handed over from left and right, and said while wearing them: "I'm watching this day. I'm afraid it will snow!"

Xue Bing nodded. He said to Ma Chao: "And it seems that the snow will be quite good. I must prepare early!" While the two of them were talking, Ma Chao was already dressed, so he said to Xue Bing: "Let's go find Zilong and discuss it together!"

The two hurriedly left with each other looking for Zhao Yun’s tent.

At this time, Zhao Yun was arranging the defense of the village and the surrounding areas. Seeing that the two of them were coming together, they knew that there must be something important to discuss, so they stood back and asked them to sit down. Then they asked: "Zihan and Meng Qi are here together, but there is something important?"

Ma Chao wanted to speak, but Xue Bing said first: "Has Zilong not noticed the weather outside?"

Zhao Yun was stunned, but he didn't know what was going on. He was busy arranging defenses all day long to prevent Zhang He from running away, but he had never paid attention to any weather. Then he asked, "Is Zihan talking about the colder weather?"

Before Xue Bing could speak, she was taken first by Ma Chao. She heard Ma Chao say, "I have been in Xiliang for a long time. I see that it seems like a sign of snow on this day, and it is not just a light snow. I am the same as camping here, so I must prepare early."

Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the two of them would come over and say that it would snow. However, Zhao Yun was also from the north, so why didn't he know the harm of heavy snow, especially for the troops stationed in the mountains. The lethality of heavy snow is.

But he couldn't just withdraw like this, so wouldn't he let Zhang He run away? Then he asked, "Do you two have any suggestions?"

Xue Bing said: "Immediately take the soldiers up the mountain to collect firewood. You can pick up as much as you can. It is best to cut more firewood for later use. In addition, take out some of the clothes I asked Boqi to send to you first and add one to the soldiers.

It really snows heavily, and the weather will be colder." He pointed to the ground but it was snowing. It was not cold or cold. For northerners, this sentence is already familiar and cannot be more familiar.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded and said, "I will instruct my men to prepare!"

Xue Bing said again: "Don't worry! I have something to say." As soon as he said this, Ma Chao and Zhao Yungu were stunned, but they didn't know what Xue Bing had to say.

Xue Bing smiled and said, "Now that heavy snow is coming, the weather is getting colder, and the opportunity to defeat Zhang and He is right in front of me. I need to prepare early!"

Zhao Yun was puzzled when he heard this and asked, "The heavy snow is coming, and the army is unable to fight. However, Zi Han is about to defeat Zhang and He. What is the explanation?"

Xue Bing smiled and said, "Prepare the excess clothes and food, and take out all the meat that was brought to people earlier. When the snow comes, add a meal to the soldiers!"...

Zhang He stood outside the tent, looking at the gloomy sky and sighed, Hao Zhao beside him said, "General, I have already ordered the soldiers to pick up more firewood, General, don't worry.

"Zhang He sighed again, and then said, "Bo Dao also lives in the north. Don't you know that it is extremely cold after the heavy snow? Moreover, our army has no food or clothing. Now, many soldiers cannot support this situation. If you have such heavy snow, these thousands of soldiers will cover it here!" At the end of the day, it became so high that it became trembling, and the voice trembled, as if you were enduring great pain.

Hao Zhao said: "But it was a moment of coldness. As long as we survived, we could definitely break out of the siege and then return to Guanzhong."

Zhang He smiled bitterly and said, "Back to Guanzhong? It's so difficult! I have missed the best opportunity! I finally understand why Xue Bing gave me that food.

He used the food to keep us here, and he wanted to trap us to death! The weather is very cold, and the soldiers are not full and they are not warm in clothing. How can they fight against Liu Bei's army? All are covered! All are covered!" After saying that, he shook his head and ignored Hao Zhao, and went straight back to the tent.

Hao Zhao met behind him and knew that Zhang He was trapped here now and had no choice but to do anything. He was trapped here as if he had been waiting for death for so long that he had tortured this general who had been through the battle formation to the point where he was almost collapsed.

However, he had no choice. No matter how good the soldiers had no combat power, it was useless. Turning around and looking at the weak soldiers, Hao Zhao could only shake his head helplessly, and his majestic body suddenly seemed much hunched.

"Could it be that I, Hao Bodao, have not yet appeared in the world, so I will die here?"

Looking up at the gloomy sky, I suddenly felt a chill on my face. Hao Zhao touched it with his hand, but there were a small drop of water. Looking at the sky again, there were scattered snowflakes falling from the sky...

It was snowing, and it was snowing all day and night, and the ground was covered with a layer of white new clothes. The two big villages faced each other, but there was no sound at all. Most of the soldiers hid in tents and surrounded the brazier to keep warm.

The dry firewood prepared several days in advance was enough for the army to burn for a long time. Xue Bing took out a lot of wine from the supplies and gave a little to each person to keep warm.

In addition, Xue Bing also suggested that the guards' time to keep watch will be changed, and each person only stood for half an hour before the guards changed their guards. All the soldiers in the village took turns to stand guard, so no one could escape.

However, as this happens, the frostbite situation has improved a lot, and the soldiers have no complaints. After all, if you stand outside for a day, no one can stand it.

However, Xue Bing was not in the tent at this time, guarding the hot brazier. He was standing in front of the village and looking at Zhang He's big village. Zhao Yunli was next to him and asked, "What did Zi Han see?"

Xue Bing smiled and replied, "I saw a lot. I wonder what Zilong wants to know?"

Zhao Yun said: "Oh? Zihan is so powerful? He can see a lot of things from so far away? Let's listen!"

Xue Bing rubbed his hands with a little cold and smiled, "I see that there is no fireworks in Zhanghe Village. I think it's because of the lack of food. In addition, there is too little dry firewood, so they probably won't last long."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he frowned and said, "It's a pity that although our army is well prepared, we can't even think of fighting with the enemy in such weather." As he said, he moved his feet, which were a little numb and cold.

This movement made a sound when I stepped on the soft snow.

Xue Bing said: "No need to fight! Just wait for the evening, and we will launch an offensive!"

Zhao Yunqi said: "Don't you need to fight?"

At this time, Zhang Yi ran out of the village, stepped on the snow all the way, making a creaking sound. He ran to Xue Bing to stand still, and Zhang Yi said respectfully: "General Xue, what he ordered is ready!"
