Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 155 Grinding (Thanks to the first book friend 007 for the third reward)

The army of 10,000+ advanced all the way, and on the seventh day, the beginning of winter came.

The sky is getting more and more gloomy, and the sun has not been seen for many days.

As the temperature dropped sharply, the marching speed of the entire team also changed.

That's a slowdown visible to the naked eye!

Under the severe cold, the soldiers of the Heavenly Army who had been blessed by the system became sluggish and inflexible, not to mention the more than [-] refugees behind them?

The various changes in the team fell into the eyes of everyone, with different expressions.

Like Yu Jin and the others, their eyes are filled with worry, and there is even more doubt in their foreheads.

Leaving Linzi has made them puzzled.
And choosing to leave at this time is even more difficult to accept.
This is the end of the year and winter.

Leading the army on a long journey at this time?
Now the expected scenario has indeed appeared.

And it is foreseeable that it will become more severe!

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, worried.

Wang Zheng had a panoramic view of the changes in generals and soldiers.

He also knew that almost no one would choose such a season when the army was dispatched in the cold weapon era.

Just like attacking Linzi in the rain that day, this is common sense and common sense.

One must know that even in the modern age with underfloor heating, air conditioning, and down jackets, there are still people with cold hands and sores, let alone the ancient times when supplies were scarce?
not to mention.
This is the winter of the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
A real harsh winter.

Because at this time, it was the second Little Ice Age in the history of the Chinese Dynasty.

In the vast thousand-year history of China, there are only four well-documented Little Ice Ages.

Appeared for the first time, in the last years of Yin and Shang Dynasties, it directly made Jiang Ziya prosper Zhou for 800 years, and King Wu of Zhou ascended to the supreme position.

The third time was at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms appeared. After that, Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao rebelled, and the yellow robe was added, which was the Northern Song Dynasty.

As for the fourth time.
It was the end of Ming Dynasty.

The final result is that alien races are raging, Shenzhou Lu Shen, the last page of the feudal history of the Celestial Dynasty, every sentence is sad and humiliating, and the paper is full of slave words.

Wang Zheng knew that the winter in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty was difficult, and he also understood that Yu Jin and others were right.
But even though everyone advised them one after another, in the end, they insisted on choosing to leave Linzi.

And move east at this time.

With repeated military turmoil, all official roads in Qingzhou have long been unbearable.

At this time, the Tianjun set foot on an official road that has been neglected for many years since it was built in the Western Han Dynasty.

Now it is overgrown with weeds and bumpy.

The road is full of gravel potholes.

With a bang.

A cart that was struggling to move forward and was fully loaded with luggage suddenly sank, completely motionless as if lying on its back.

The farmer who was pulling the animals in front tried hard for a long time, but seeing no response, he turned his head and squatted down, and immediately sighed.

"Another car!"

Looking at the broken axle, the civilian husband couldn't help but patted the beam of the car again, complaining:

"Seven or eight carts have been involved in accidents today, right? The people who supervised the construction of the carts didn't care!
There was another creak, but the hemp rope was loosened, and several sacks full of rice rolled down one after another.

"Why don't you worry?"

At this time, the urging soldiers approached, looked at it, and snorted coldly:
"This car is made of good wood, and the carpenter who made it is also a skilled carpenter in Linzi. How can it be so useless?"

"It's not that your hands and feet are neither light nor heavy, and you are dragging them hard!"

"Uh..." the coachman heard the other party buckle the pot on his head, his legs softened, and he quickly explained:
"Brother, look for yourself." He stretched out his hands weakly: "My hands are covered with frostbite."

"At the end of the day, every time I exerted force, it burst open, and the wound healed and then became bad."

"It's all about enduring the pain, do you want me to be serious or not?"

"Hey, I don't know what General Tiangong thinks. When is it not good to pick a time, why do you want to pick such a ghostly weather?"

"Bold!"

The soldier snorted coldly: "The general is a man of gods, Huang Tian will show you everything you do, how can you, a fellow from the countryside, guess it?"

"Why are you still dawdling here? Hurry up and unhook the mule first, and push the cart to the side of the road. Wouldn't it block the road here?"

"There are hundreds of cars waiting behind!"

The soldier yelled loudly, his red cheeks that were already frozen by the severe cold and wind became even redder.

"Here comes."

With the sound of the chant, five or six people worked together, and finally moved the uncooperative cart and gave way to the advancing passage.

Soon, another carpenter rushed in with tools and wood to start repairing.

While monitoring, the soldiers sighed inwardly as they watched countless carts pass by.

Every car is so slow.

He looked at the sky, rubbed his hands, and tightened the collar of his clothes, praying secretly.

Oh supreme yellow sky, it's cold when it's cold
Can you stop blowing it!
I can't bear it.

On the 17th, the wind and snow filled the air, and the banners were torn.

The weather is getting tougher.

The snow has blocked the road and made it difficult to pass.

The severe cold caused more and more frostbitten people in the team.

The refugees began to flee and froze.

Complaints from the entire team also began to grow and spread.

Even the headquarters of the Heavenly Army began to show the same negative emotions.

Morale quickly slipped from the initial high to low.

After all, what the system can guarantee is their allegiance to the king.

But it is impossible for people to completely lose their thoughts and humanity.

At this time, Wu Sheng couldn't bear it anymore, and came to Wang Zheng to propose to him.

Why don't we find a county and take it down first, let everyone settle down for a while, and get through this severe cold season before continuing eastward.

"Let them hang around for a few more days." Wang Zheng, who was buried in the map, said casually without looking up, "It's almost here."

"General, you said this ten days ago, and five days ago, this is the third time."

Wu Sheng murmured: "Don't talk about brothers, my ears are getting calloused."

"You still have the nerve to say it?" Wang Zheng finally raised his head, snorted coldly, and stared at him: "It's only been more than ten days, and you can't hold it anymore?"

"You still came to me to complain? Do you want me to appease your soldiers?"

"If you want me to do everything, then what's the use of you, the commander of the Tianzhu Battalion?"

"It's not that everyone can't hold it..."

Wu Shengqiang held his head up in defense: "I think it's unnecessary!"

"Cao Cao didn't send troops to chase us, so why is he in such a hurry to go to Xuzhou?"

"What do you know!" Wang Zheng stared at him: "Stop talking nonsense, get out of here immediately!"

"...promise!"

Looking at Wu Sheng who slipped out with his head shrugged, and then looking around at the team behind him, he saw that everyone had some resentment on their faces and their morale was low.

Wang Zheng also secretly wiped his cold sweat.

If it weren't for the system's great guarantee, the soldiers would not rebel no matter how upset and complained, and I really didn't dare to do things like this.

It is indeed Wang Zheng's intention to march in the severe cold.

Take the initiative to make trouble for your own army.

The main reason is actually Wu Sheng and Xu Fang's promotion process, which made him a little disappointed.

The experience required for the fourth-tier yellow turban platoon soldiers is too high, and although the performance is good, compared to the cost, the price/performance ratio is not high.

This made him suddenly afraid to rely on the power of the system to strengthen the army.

In essence, Wang Zheng had already had this idea, and this reason can only be said to have strengthened his idea.

He has identified one of the biggest problems with the Space Force right now.

Since the incident, it's been going so smoothly!
Under the influence of the system and the Prophet, taking advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou to rebel, except for Yu Jin Niu Gai, all the battles before and after were won too easily.

Although this made the morale of the heavenly army high and boosted the morale of the army, it also worried Wang Zheng.

If one day they encounter a strong enemy and fall into a disadvantage, how will they perform?
It is impossible to play a tailwind advantage game forever.

So Wang Zheng chose to create adversity to temper them when he took the initiative.

The hardships, fatigue, cold, and continuous casualties during the long period are not considered to be detrimental to the overall strength, but should be able to test the will and physical strength of each soldier.

Also make a grind.

Wang Zheng hoped that this trek and severe cold would give his Celestial Army a will in addition to confidence and a sense of honor.

Even if it is temporarily impossible to achieve a heart of steel like the Red Army
Something is better than nothing.

Everyone knows that this eastward move is a strategic shift.

But only Wang Zheng knows that this is still a fire to temper the sword he holds.

The edge of the sword is sharpened by itself!
