Chapter 1180 Little Ice River, Attack!
Chapter 1180
After this snowstorm, within two or three years, an unprecedented cold wave will sweep down from the far north, creating an unprecedented cold winter.
This is a terrible severe cold that happens every hundreds of years. It lasts not one month, two months, three months, nor five months or six months, but more than ten months.
All the grass and trees on the land froze to death throughout the Great Wall, millions of livestock died, and very few survived the severe cold.
And it was this severe cold that led to even greater disasters and a series of turmoil and darkness.
— All this series of events is known in history as the Little Ice Age.
Except for the people in it, no one knows how terrible this severe cold is.

While everyone was talking, the temperature between the sky and the earth dropped a lot again. Standing at the door of Wang Chong's room, everyone heard a loud noise. That was the sound of thick ice forming on the high Khorasan city wall, and that sound shocked everyone who heard it.
"Lord Protectorate, the temperature has dropped very sharply. You led all the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate Army to rush into the underground caves and cellars."
Wang Chong suddenly turned his head and said to Gao Xianzhi beside him.
"What!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Wang Chong's words. Underground caves and cellars, is Wang Chong even ready for these things? But Wang Chong never mentioned it before.
"I have already arranged everything. If your lord has not come, Confucius and the others should have informed you. In addition, I have also ordered Fergana, the King of Gangke and Cui Huqi to pass down. All wool, The clothes made of cotton have all been distributed to the soldiers, and after wearing them, they go into underground caves and cellars, where the temperature will be much higher and warmer than the surface."
Wang Chong looked at the generals in Anxi and said calmly.
Before they finished speaking, Cheng Qianli, Xi Yuanqing, Lou Shiyi and other generals in Anxi opened their mouths wide open, speechless in shock, even Gao Xianzhi showed a moved expression.
No one expected this terrible cold, so Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli and others rushed to find Wang Chong after it happened. But unexpectedly, just as they were still thinking about how to deal with it, Wang Chong had already arranged everything properly.
"...In addition, there are no accidents. Bahram should have sent people to inform the people in the city. This severe cold will be much more terrifying than all of us imagined and what we saw before us, and it will last longer. Much longer, and it's just the beginning!"
Wang Chong said solemnly.
Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli and the other generals in Anxi were so shocked that they were speechless. The so-called strategizing and winning thousands of miles is nothing more than ancient wise men, but Wang Chong has already surpassed the scope of wise men. For a moment, everyone felt a sense of awe, as if standing in front of them was not a person, but a statue. Unfathomable gods.
Gao Xianzhi led the crowd to leave quickly, and all the arrangements made by Wang Chong before were carried out in an orderly manner. The sound of the blizzard is getting louder and louder, covering the sky and covering the whole world. But amidst the noisy wind and snow, the entire Khorasan city was extraordinarily quiet.
"Lord Hou!"
a moment later,
In the desert wind and snow, a voice came out. Li Siye, with the huge sword on his back, walked quickly through the wind and snow with Cui Huanqi, Confucius An, King of Gang Ke, Su Hanshan and others. It only took a moment , the temperature between heaven and earth dropped a lot.
A thick layer of frost formed on the hair, beard, shoulders, and arms of a group of people, and the temperature had dropped to more than forty degrees below zero. Even Li Siye and Su Hanshan felt a little chill, not to mention the other people.
At midnight, it is the time of the day when the temperature drops the most violently, and it is also the coldest time. Almost all the wind, snow and hail germinate during this time.
In this kind of severe cold, even ordinary soldiers can no longer resist. Although they have also cultivated stellar qi, that level of stellar qi cannot resist this severe cold for a long time at all.
Almost all the ordinary soldiers hid in the cellar wearing cotton jackets and woolen clothes, and almost all the elites who can still move on the ground.
"...All the soldiers and horses have been recruited and are on standby at any time. Marquis, when are we going to attack?"
Li Siye was as strong as a mountain, his body was straight and straight, and his eyes showed a strong fighting spirit.
Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, this snowstorm is unprecedented, everyone is avoiding this severe cold, but this also provides an excellent opportunity for the army. The art of war is called the right time, place and people. This is what Wang Chong has been teaching, and the sudden snowstorm in front of him is the best opportunity to attack the cannibal.
As soon as Li Siye's voice fell, the surroundings were suddenly silent. Confucius, Su Hanshan, Huang Botian, King of Gangke and others all looked at Wang Chong, waiting for his order. While waiting, the surroundings became more and more silent. Across a high city wall, the panic-stricken screams of the big cannibal were clearly audible, and even the blizzard couldn't suppress it.
The big cannibal was too careless. This sudden celestial change completely stunned them. The hundreds of thousands of troops were not prepared at all. The panicked screams and horse neighing were the best proof.
According to Wang Chong's previous instructions, the most elite army has been recruited and can be launched at any time. In this once-in-a-lifetime extreme weather, it will deal a fatal blow to the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city.
"Not in a hurry."
Unexpectedly, Wang Chong waved his hand and rejected everyone's proposal:
"Wait a minute, now is not the time to do it."
These words were completely different from what everyone expected, and the group of people were all stunned.
"But Lord Hou, from what we have observed, after this sudden change, the big cannibals are already preparing to retreat the entire army. If we don't act now, we may miss the opportunity and watch them flee and die. Lost the best offensive opportunity."
Confucius argued, looking very unwilling. The general's duty is to fight. If he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to deal with the big cannibals outside the city, they are likely to make a comeback after the severe cold. At that time, Datang may have no chance of defeating them.
On the side, although Su Hanshan and Cui Huqi didn't speak, their eyes also showed the same doubts, soldiers are expensive, and the longer the time drags, the more big cannibals will escape.
"It's not that simple, the big cannibal can't escape!"
Wang Chong's eyes were fixed, and he was extremely fierce. In his gestures, he naturally revealed a strong self-confidence. It seemed that nothing in the world could escape his control:
"From Khorasan to the east, there is a lot of wind and snow. Judging from the frozen situation on the ground, even if they want to escape, they will not be able to escape very far. It is not so easy for an army of 600,000 to 700,000 to escape, and the longer it takes, the more dead or injured they will be. The more people there are, the weaker the resistance is, and the formation is scattered, that is the best time for us to attack!"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone was stunned.
"The general obeys orders!"
Everyone quickly bowed to their orders, and the way of war is false and real. In this respect, everyone and Wang Chong are still far behind.
Li Siye and others quickly retreated. Only Wang Chong stood in the snowstorm and waited silently.
...
Time passed slowly, and at this moment, when the city of Khorasan was silent, on the other side, the big cannibal camp in the night was in chaos.
"My lord, this storm is too big, the temperature drops too fast and too low, the soldiers can't hold on at all!"
"All the grain and grass we carried were frozen, and the whole body of the war horse was stiff and paralyzed, and it was all frozen!"
"My lord, we can't hold on anymore!"
...
In the raging and roaring blizzard, a military commander looked panic-stricken and shouted at the top of his lungs, but his voice was completely dispersed by the blizzard. This change came too fast, too sudden, and everyone was stunned.
Right at the forefront of the army, the three giants of Obsidian stood side by side, and an invisible energy shield spread out from their bodies, repelling all wind, snow and severe cold. The three of them didn't say a word. Although they tried their best to maintain calm on the surface, the gloomy and ugly eyes in the depths revealed their true emotions.
"how could this be?"
Looking at the tall and majestic city not far ahead, Fadi's eyes flickered, and his heart was in chaos.
Only one night, as long as it is dawn, they can launch a large army and completely conquer this city occupied by the heathen with overwhelming strength. However, this unprecedented severe cold and stormy weather completely disrupted their plans. plan.
Under the double blow of the storm and the rapid cooling, the army of hundreds of thousands was in chaos, and it was no longer as spectacular as before. The chaotic neighing of the horses and the screams of the soldiers filled both ears, causing the three of them to bleed. The faces of the three became more and more ugly.
"Tairen, please retreat!!"
"My lord, please retreat!!"
Behind him, a famous general shouted in panic. The situation is extremely urgent. If this continues, if we don't retreat, the army may be completely wiped out. Here is a complete explanation.
"Buzz!"
The three of them stood still, looking up at the opposite side. They were also covered by the wind and snow, but remained silent. Khorasan, like a dead city, was at war between heaven and man. In an instant, countless thoughts rushed through my mind.
"Hural, can we try to attack the city?"
Fadi spoke suddenly, with a last glimmer of hope.
"My lord, it won't work! I have already sent someone to try it. Khorasan is completely covered with thick frost. Our noose can't penetrate the ice and snow at all. Moreover, even the noose is frozen and cannot be stretched. There is no way to attack the city. We can only retreat, retreating to the city of Xandar."
A voice came from the side, Hullal was full of resignation
How come Hural hasn't thought about the idea of the three giants? The temperature is still dropping sharply. Under such severe cold conditions, only one army tent can't resist it at all. In Dashi's war plan, everything was considered, the only thing that was not considered was the severe cold.
Only by hiding in the city and hiding in the house, can we barely resist the severe cold, otherwise, the army of more than 600,000 people is likely to be defeated without a fight, and suffer unprecedented heavy losses. And at this moment, Khorasan City is the closest to everyone. However, the solid ice on Khorasan City has now become an insurmountable moat for hundreds of thousands of troops. Not to mention, there are still 200,000 Tang people, Khorasan people and rebels in the city. Anticipated, and ambushed properly.
——It's really quiet on the other side, it's so abnormal!
