The Nameless of the Common Clans

"It's snowing?" Coming out of the wounded camp, Bao Geng suddenly felt a chill on his face. He subconsciously touched it, but it was a handful of water stains. He looked up and saw fine snowflakes starting to float in the sky.

"Well, there is very little snow this year." The commander of Lulong Village nodded and said, "It is estimated that it will not be too heavy, but I am afraid that next year will be a drought year."

It's okay as long as it doesn't snow too much.

Bao Geng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Send someone to Wuzhong to convey the message and mobilize the required medicinal materials as soon as possible."

Among the 800 defenders of Lulong Village, three times more people have caught colds than died in battle. The remnants of the Yuan family may use this method next, so what Lulong Village lacks now is not military rations, but medicinal materials for treating colds.

"Yes!"

No one spoke that night. The next morning, when Bao Geng came out of the barracks, the world was quiet. Looking around, everything was white. Snowflakes were dancing in the sky and the sky, and the snow was falling like goose feathers. When you stepped on the snow, the snow was not up to your ankles.

"Why is it still snowing?" Bao Geng's face became not very good, and he quickly ordered his guards to gather the guards in the city.

"You have been fighting with Yuan's army for a long time. Do you know how many troops Yuan has?" Bao Geng looked at the guard of Lulong Village and asked.

"There are nearly 10,000 people. I don't know if there were more troops later. Last year, many people in Jizhou and Hebei spontaneously went to Bailang Mountain to join Yuan. And when Yuan retreated, he also took a lot of defeated soldiers." The guard also realized that something was wrong. If the snow continued to fall, the mountain would be closed by heavy snow, and the foster care of Lulong Village would not be so lucky.

This was not a big deal in previous years. Lulong Village is located in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, and it snows all year round. So in order to avoid this situation, there is a lot of food stored in Lulong Village, enough for the soldiers guarding the pass to survive this cold winter. But now the most important thing is the medicinal materials. If they cannot be delivered in time, these soldiers who have caught a cold can only rely on themselves to survive!

Even if the same method is used here, there are more people than us, and we will definitely not be able to survive.

Bao Geng frowned and looked at everyone and said, "While the heavy snow has not completely blocked the road, send someone to urge them immediately. Don't worry about anything else. Bring me the medicine as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Report~"

At this moment, a soldier rushed out of the door and shouted, "Generals, the enemy army is attacking the city."

"Go!" Bao Geng stood up and shouted in a deep voice, "Others, follow me to the city to defend the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Bao Geng did not bring the whole army up together. He divided his two troops and the 300 people who could still fight in Lulong Village into three groups, and took turns to go to the city to defend the enemy. The remaining 200 people were replenished at any time, which could reduce unnecessary losses and allow the soldiers to get enough rest.

Yesterday, Bao Geng ordered that the oil pot on the top of the city that was originally used to boil oil was now replaced with water. It happened to be snowing heavily, so there was no need to get ice, and the snow could be used to boil water directly.

A pot of water has been boiled. Bao Geng led his men to inspect the city wall. The enemy on the opposite side has already set up their military formation. The jars are piled up like a mountain around the eight catapults.

It seems that they are not as powerful as stone bullets, but these days, the defenders of Lulong Village have seen the viciousness of this thing.

The siege ladder began to push towards the city wall along the earth slope formed by the pile of corpses.

Bao Geng was not used to the weather in the north. When he was patrolling the city, he slipped on the ice buried under the snow and fell to the ground.

"General, are you okay?" Two guards hurriedly pulled Bao Geng up.

"What's the matter?" Bao Geng was a little embarrassed. Then he looked at the ice on the ground, and then looked at the gentle slope covered with snow. After thinking for a while, he said to the people beside him: "Throw the water jars on the slope."

"Yes!"

Several generals nodded, and asked people to fill the water into the water jars and throw them towards the slope under the city. The water jars broke one by one, and the hot water quickly melted the snow around.

"Stop throwing! Bows and arrows, shoot!" After just one round of throwing, seeing that the snow in front of the city wall was almost covered, Bao Geng ordered the archers to start shooting.

Arrows from both sides intersected in the air, and jars were thrown at them by the other side's catapults.

Bang bang bang~

In the broken jars, ice chips mixed with cold water splashed in all directions. The problem was not big. This thing was not a deadly poison that would kill you if you touched it. In fact, it was not directly splashed with water, but only some places were splashed with water, which was basically fine. The fatal thing was that the other side's water jars kept hitting them, and it was really fatal if they accumulated.

Eight catapults!

Bao Geng wandered on the city wall, looking at the eight catapults of the other side, and he hated it. The wall of Lulong Village was not too thick, and there was no place to put catapults, and there was basically no point in setting bows and arrows on catapults.

Unfortunately, Youzhou had just been conquered, and many of the Guanzhong troops had no weapons, and lacked many means of suppression. If there were a few Broken Army Crossbows here, how could these people be so arrogant?

The siege ladders were placed on the city wall, and soldiers began to climb up the city wall. Boiling water was constantly poured down the ladders. The temperature of the boiling water alone made these Yuan troops directly useless.

What's worse is that the water jar thrown by Bao Geng before has re-frozen at this moment. If the Yuan army who rushed up accidentally slipped, a large group would fall.

"Hahaha~" The pressure on the top of the city was relieved, and the laughter from time to time made the Yuan army soldiers under the city angry and embarrassed.

"Smash it for me!" The general in charge of commanding the throwing of the water jar shouted sternly in the back.

The momentum of the siege slowed down, but the battle did not stop. There was no time to boil the water. Bao Geng ordered the soldiers to fall down as soon as the snow was melted.

It felt like a water fight. The effect of water would only be slowly exerted after the battle, but on the battlefield, blood was seen on every knife. The ice surface created by Bao Geng was soon piled up with corpses, and the soldiers of the reinforcements rushed up again.

The fighting lasted from morning to evening. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the reinforcements called off the troops.

"Huh~" Finally relieved, Bao Geng looked around. The city wall was a bit messy, and the snow was still falling down. Many corpses had been frozen on the city wall. Someone used boiling water to melt the ice and dig out the corpses. The enemy's corpses were thrown directly from the top of the city, and the corpses of the soldiers on our side were taken back for burial.

"General, more than 30 people died." The guard came to Bao Geng and bowed.

"Let people change guards. Those with water on their bodies should go back and dry quickly to avoid catching a cold!" Bao Geng nodded. Only a few died in the battle, but how many people would catch a cold today? No one knew.

"General, go and rest quickly." The garrison commander looked at the water stains on Bao Geng's body and said worriedly.

At this time, if Bao Geng also caught a cold, it would be a fatal blow to the morale of the Lulongzhai garrison.

"Don't worry, the general's body won't collapse so easily." Bao Geng waved his hand and smiled indifferently.

"Let's go back." The garrison commander urged.

"Well." Bao Geng nodded, just looked at the snow that had begun to pile up on the city wall at this time, and then looked at the sky, and his heart became more depressed.

Judging from this situation, the snow will not stop for a while.

After a busy day, I found that I was stuck when I came back. I knew how to write next, but I just couldn't write it. It was a little less and a little late. Please forgive me. I will take a rest and relax my mind.
