The sledge team was moving forward rapidly in the snow - this surprise soldier did not show his flag, but walked silently in the snow.

The sled was covered with white tent cloth, and the livestock were covered with white cloth as a concealment... If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to notice this surprise weapon.

Of course, no one will look at it carefully.

Until now, the Qin and Chu armies have confronted each other, and there are only a small-scale friction and fight, and the two armies have long begun to relax their guard.

Hong Shitou closed his eyes and rested, and secretly praised the sledge in his heart.

The sound of this sled is smaller than that of a chariot, and it is much more comfortable than a chariot!

Recalling those chariots, even if they drive on the flattest road, they will bump up and down... But this sledge is different!

Driving on the snow is very stable!

In the sled where Hong Shitou was located, in addition to Hong Shitou himself, there were also four military soldiers. At this moment, the armor and weapons of the four military soldiers were all aside and were laughing quietly.

Inside the sled, a small copper stove was emitting temperature—the inside was burning charcoal.

Don’t worry about keeping warm—the sledge is loaded with food and the forage that livestock need to eat… In addition, the most prepared is charcoal.

As for drinking water, there is no need to worry about it - there is snow everywhere. Just grab a handful of snow, put it in a helmet and set it on the stove. After it boils, it will make the warm water warm all over.

In short, the supplies carried on the sledge are enough for them to stay outside for more than fifteen days.

The only thing that made Hong Shitou feel a little uncomfortable was that the internal space of the sled was relatively small, with people, weapons, charcoal, and food almost crowded together, mixed with the smell of feet... It was a bit difficult to bear!

But this is also very good! It is always better to rest in the warm sledge than to trek in the snow!

The soldiers poured the boiled water into the pottery bowl and handed it to Hong Shitou attentively: "General, drink some hot water to warm up your body."

Hong Shitou nodded, opened his eyes, and drank a mouthful of hot water, feeling warm all over his body... The soldier smiled again and handed a piece of dough with dried meat...

The dough cakes were also roasted on the stove, and the crust was burnt and crispy.

There are also a lot of salt on the dried meat inside, which were smoked in the fief before going to war. It looks charred, chewy and fragrant, and is the best military ration to quickly replenish your strength.

Hong Shitou took it and swallowed it in three mouthfuls, unable to help but let out a long whistle with satisfaction.

Cool!

After eating and drinking, my body was warm and I immediately felt sleepy... Hong Shitou curled up and fell asleep in an awkward position.

...

"Hong Qiang General, wake up quickly, there is something wrong!" A soldier woke Hong Shitou up.

Hong Shitou opened his eyes in a daze and immediately felt a little sore in the back of his neck... The sleeping position was not very comfortable just now, maybe he was sleeping in a stiff neck?

"Why did the sled stop? Have you reached the ambush point?" Hong Shitou asked in confusion.

"Report to General Hong Qian - Danyu camp, who had just bypassed the Qin army, now he has met the Qin army's scout... Will he fight?" The soldier lowered his voice, looking nervous and excited.

Hong Shitou immediately became energetic, lifted a corner of the sledge tarpaulin, grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed his face, and woke up instantly.

In the distance, dozens of Qin soldiers were driving a row of empty cars and trekking hard in the snow.

The black armor of the Qin army was particularly conspicuous in the snow!

Hong Shitou subconsciously wanted to eat the Qin army in front of him... but he immediately changed his mind: "Secretly hide, don't expose it!"

"As long as the Qin army does not discover us, let them go!" Hong Shitou reminded him.

This surprise attack on the food route was led by Hong Shitou. Now the command of the general has been given, and although the new soldiers hated the Qin people to the core, they could only suppress them.

The Qin army team disappeared from the end of their sight, completely unaware that they had just passed by death.

Huang Wu appeared silently beside Hong Shitou, explaining expressionlessly: "Hong Qianjiang, the Qin army should have just been the team that fetched water and cut off firewood."

Hong Shitou frowned - he couldn't understand why this mysterious Commander Huang always appeared like a ghost and disappeared suddenly.

"Continue to move forward." Hong Shitou waved his hand and the sledge team began to move forward again.

Through the Qin army team that I had just encountered, the concealment of the sledge was tested - the white sledge and the horse covered in white cloth... Now the sledge tent is covered with white falling snow... like a small snow bag in the snow, which does not attract any attention.

Six hours later, five thousand elite soldiers had arrived at the preset ambush location.

It took only half a day to walk the muddy and snowy road for at least three days.

Hong Shitou ordered in a deep voice: "Wait in place, be careful of concealment. No one should be allowed to leave the sledge snow tent without the order of this general."

"Please pay attention to ventilation in the sledge tent! You can't be poisoned by charcoal fire for the sake of warmth."

"Send twenty sledges to spread out and serve as scouts."

"If you meet the Qin army's baggage team, or find that the Qin army's Dan has had some abnormal movements in the camp... you should come back and report it as soon as possible!"

The afternoon passed like this.

At night, snowflakes began to fall again... The soldiers dug warm snow nests for the livestock, so there was no need to worry that the livestock would be frozen to death.

The snowflakes covered the sledge... The five thousand elite soldiers seemed to have completely disappeared from the snow field.

...

Ying Xiao, the chief general of the Qin army, personally led the team and escorted the convoy full of food and supplies, and headed to the direction of [Danyu] with difficulty.

It is really difficult to transport supplies in the middle of winter.

Especially among the 80,000 troops stationed in Danyu, 30,000 were cavalry... Just the food that more than 30,000 war horses chewed every day is an astronomical figure.

Ying Xiao cursed in his heart - the damn Chu people, the damn Xiong Wuliang!

Just want to start the war in winter!

The labor and capital were uneasy all winter and escorted the grain team to run countless round trips.

After all, we are also a prince of the royal family of the Qin royal family. Although we are a little far away from the direct royal family in terms of blood... The cold wind is so cold that it is three points in the wilderness... Isn't it good to have a warm fire in my mansion in Xianyang?

It’s all about Chu people!

Grandma, after the beginning of spring, I will follow the youngest to make 50,000 heads of Chu State... I will definitely vent my anger by killing you!

Ying Xiao spat out in resentment - he knew that the saliva would soon freeze.

The snow fell on the head and was soon melted by the body temperature. The cold snow water penetrated into the bun and flowed along the collar to the neck... The cold wind blew over and soon turned into ice again.

Too much suffering!

After careful calculation, this is Ying Xiao’s seventh round trip!

It is said that Qin also wanted to transport all the food and supplies used for the winter at one time at a time... But the problem was that the battle was suddenly fought. I did not prepare in advance the supplies that the 80,000 troops would need to use for the winter. So I could only confront each other while plundering the food and transporting them to Danyu one after another.

Ying Xiao was in a bad mood, covered his collar tightly, and gave a hoarse command: "Start up!"

"Before dark tomorrow, I will arrive at Danyu camp!"
Chapter completed!
