Chapter 440 Ignition
After the snowflakes fell in the sky, the cold wind followed and the temperature dropped immediately.

Whether it was the cloaked soldiers or the soldiers from the princes, they were all wearing thin clothes, unable to resist the severe cold at all, and they were all shivering from the cold.

The siege was fruitless, and it was snowing heavily that day, so all the soldiers could only retreat into the tents, and temporarily resist the cold wind in the tents.

But at this time, it was still light snow and light wind, and the tent could still withstand it, but seeing the dark clouds in the sky getting denser and denser, the violent snowstorm might come soon, and the tent might not be able to stop the cold at all.

Above Chongcheng, Ji Chang stood at the top of the city and looked out. He saw the snow falling all over the sky, dyeing the ground outside the city silvery, and the tents of Su Yuan's army were also covered with white snow. Like a steamed bun.

Ji Chang couldn't help laughing: "God helped me, I didn't expect the snowstorm to come ten days earlier this year. Su Quanzhong, Su Quanzhong, now that the sky is on my side, how can you fight me?"

Immediately Ji Chang was proud of himself, and immediately ordered the army to put on cotton clothes, ready to go out of the city at any time to chase and kill Su Yuan who was retreating.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Su Yuan and all the generals and princes gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

I only heard Huang Feihu say: "Chongcheng usually has heavy snowfall in winter, but this year it is more than ten days earlier than in previous years. I wanted to tell the Grand Master the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect the heavy snowfall to fall so early. Fortunately, the snowflakes are still small , we can retreat immediately, otherwise the road will be blocked by heavy snow, and our million-strong army will have to freeze to death outside Chongcheng."

Hearing what Huang Feihu said was serious, all the princes nodded their heads one after another, especially Nanbohou Eshun, Deng Jiugong of Sanshanguan, etc., who have been living in the south and have never encountered such cold weather. No.

Su Yuan frowned, shook his head, and said, "Once we retreat, we won't be able to attack again throughout the winter. By the time the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, nearly a year has passed. Alas, if we can't attack Ji Chang within a year , then the tide is gone."

Hearing that Su Yuan seemed to be talking to them, and also seemed to be talking to himself, everyone became puzzled.

Huang Feihu asked: "Grand Master, what do you mean within a year? Grand Master Shenwei, even if we come back next year, we can still defeat Ji Chang."

Hearing this, Su Yuan gave a wry smile. This one-year period was obtained by coaxing Yuanshi Tianzun with great difficulty.

At this time, I am afraid that Yuanshi Tianzun has realized that he has been deceived, and he has already held back his energy. When the one-year period is over, the immortals who will explain the teachings will be sent to Chongcheng immediately by Yuanshi Tianzun .

In order to explain the shamelessness of teaching the immortals, it will be even more difficult for him to defeat Ji Chang.

Therefore, no matter what, we must attack Chongcheng and defeat Jichang before the heavy snow falls.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan raised his head and asked, "Everyone, how do you keep out the cold when you encounter the cold winter?"

Deng Jiugong shook his head and said, "I have been in Sanshan Pass all year round, so I have never encountered such a cold weather."

Yuan Futong said: "Although Beihai is in the north, they hide in the city in the cold winter, so they don't know how to march and fight."

"Yes, yes! It's freezing in winter, and it's really impossible to march."

Hearing that everyone around had no idea, Su Yuan frowned even more.

Seeing this, Huang Feihu said: "Grand Master, in this weather, we can only order the soldiers to cut more branches and build more fires to keep warm. But this can only slightly resist the cold. After all, the firepower of the fire is limited, and we are afraid of fire. You can’t keep burning torches in every tent.”

Seeing that Huang Feihu had no idea, Su Yuanchang sighed, and thought to himself: "During the cold winter, I never saw and felt it was so cold. After all, there was a central heating system at that time. Alas, if there is heating in each tent, it will alright."

Thinking of this, Su Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his thigh, stood up all of a sudden, and shouted: "By the way, heating, why didn't I think of it."

"Teacher, what is heating?" Seeing Su Yuan's nonsense, everyone was startled and asked hastily.

Su Yuan showed joy on his face, waved his hand, and said: "Bring a pen, when I finish drawing, you will all understand."

Surrounded by the crowd, Su Yuan immediately took out a brush to paint, and saw that what he drew were tents, and in the tents he drew tunnels one by one, and the tunnels led to the bottom of each tent.In the end, the tunnels of hundreds of tents converged into a large pit in the sky.

But after Su Yuan finished painting, Huang Feihu and others not only didn't understand, but were dumbfounded and stared at Su Yuan blankly.

Su Yuan looked at the dumbfounded people in front of him, finally set his eyes on Hei Niu, and asked, "Hei Niu, do you understand?"

Hei Niu scratched his head and said, "I understand the picture, but I don't know what it's useful for."

Su Yuan was overjoyed, and said: "Okay, it's enough to see clearly. Now order all the troops, half of them will dig tunnels, and the other half will go to the mountain to cut branches for fire."

Hei Niu led away, and the whole army immediately moved into action.

After receiving the order, all the soldiers were dumbfounded. They didn't understand why they had to dig tunnels in their barracks?
It's just that the military order is hard to disobey, so the soldiers had no choice but to act.

The other half of the soldiers left the camp and went up the mountain, cut down the branches and piled them in the barracks.

Ji Chang thought that Su Yuan would retreat, but he didn't know that he saw a million troops busy in the snow field, and they looked like they were stationed for a long time. Ji Chang immediately sneered, and said to himself: "Okay, I wish you could stay. When the heavy snow will freeze you to death, it will save me from chasing and killing you."

Although Su Yuan ordered the excavation of the tunnel to be cumbersome, especially without leaving any gaps on the ground, but fortunately, there are many people and strength, and millions of troops work hard at the same time. It only took one day and one night to dig through all of them.

Hei Niu returned to the camp and handed over orders to Su Yuan.

Although the order was successfully completed, Hei Niu still didn't know what Su Yuan was going to do.

Not only Hei Niu, but even Huang Feihu and others had been waiting in the tent of the Chinese army long ago, wanting to know what kind of medicine was sold in Su Yuan's gourd.

Hearing that Hei Niu was finished, Su Yuan was overjoyed immediately, and immediately stepped out of the tent to watch.

Although the tunnel under the tent could not be seen, dozens of large pits formed by the collection of tunnels could be seen, and there were mountains of wooden branches beside the large pits.

Seeing this, Su Yuan was overjoyed, and said: "Order to throw the wooden branches into the big pit and light it on fire. The flames in these dozens of big pits must always burn and never go out."

Hearing this, Huang Feihu frowned and said, "Grand Master, the entire barracks is just a few big pits. We have nearly a million troops, how can everyone be warm. Why don't we dig a small pit outside each tent, Let the flames burn constantly, and keep the soldiers warm."

Even though he said that, Huang Feihu was still worried, every tent was lit, how could there be so much firewood.

Thinking of Su Yuan's willful mischief, he had already lost his last chance to retreat. After the road was blocked by heavy snow, all the millions of troops would freeze to death under Chongcheng.

Su Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need, when did you see that every house built a heating station. Only a few dozen are enough, give me an order to light the fire!"

 Goba wishes you all the best and prosperity in 2017!
