Chapter 238 The Bigger the Snow, the Better

Xie Yuan turned his head and said to several guard chiefs: "You all go back and screen people for me, pick out those who are small and nimble, the more the better. Gather here after a stick of incense!"

"Yes!" When those people heard that the time for a stick of incense was too short, they immediately ran to their camp, got on their horses and galloped away.

In a few words, except for the two soldiers, everyone else was gone. Niu Sanliang stared dumbfounded at the backs of those people leaving in a hurry.

Xie Yuan turned around, looked at him and said, "I'll give you an hour, and I'll teach you ten people who can throw hooks. The more people who can climb up the rope quickly, the better! Can it be done?"

"Well...I'll try...I'll try..." Niu Sanliang said blankly. He felt that although Xie Yuan was young, his behavior style was really infectious, and he seemed to be driven away unconsciously. Yes, I want to follow her pace...

Xie Yuan looked up at the height of the watchtower, moved his wrist, and said, "Teach me first, how to shake it?"

Niu Sanliang opened his mouth wide in shock, looking at the young man in a high position in front of him, he couldn't turn the corner.

The captain he knew was not like this.

Xie Yuan saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, his lips were tightly pressed, and his pair of red phoenix eyes were astonishingly powerful, he said, "Don't tell me you are just a hook...I don't believe it."

The weapon repair team that Xie Yuansai gave to the "God of Wealth" just now and asked him to arrange logistics went ahead.That's why I said this.

Niu Sanliang came back to his senses, and said with a flattering smile: "Hehe... Captain Yingming, my subordinates indeed... there is one more."

As he spoke, he took out another hook from the back of his waist.

……

The strong wind rolled thick and chaotic snowflakes, blowing towards the person's face, until he was breathless.

Xie Yuan led the people forward step by step in the heavy snow in the dark night.

She felt that her face was so cold that she couldn't feel it, it was as if a layer of leather had covered her face.

It is rare to have such a heavy snow, and it is difficult to see people ten paces away.

The hot stuff stuffed in his stomach before departure had been blown out of his body by the strong wind, causing him to feel chills.

She had never suffered like this.Of course, all the hardships she has suffered since she became a soldier have never been experienced before, and she gritted her teeth to bear it all with her unyielding energy.

There is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.Every time they walked a certain distance, they had to stop. Several people formed a circle to block the wind and snow, took out Sinan, and threw it on the ground to measure the direction.

The ones who followed her were all thin and light, not even a slightly fat person like Zhou Fang was allowed to come, not to mention the two conspicuous guys like Liaozi and Ke Sande, they didn't meet the requirements at all.

When they came, the two kept arguing to follow, but Xie Yuan yelled a few words before giving up.

Her personal soldiers naturally wanted to follow her, and Li Huanshi, the chief of the third guard, and He Guang, the chief of the fourth guard, were also among them. The two guards each brought a member of the guard selected by the whole battalion, and most of them were from the southwest. .

Xiao Erdan wiped his frozen snot, and felt as if his nose had been scratched with a knife, and it hurt.

Seeing Sinan on the compass gradually stop turning, he set his direction, pulled his white cloak over his mouth and said:
"Lieutenant...the direction is correct, but why does it feel like I haven't arrived yet after leaving for most of the night?"

Afraid of making a mistake, Xie Yuan raised his hand and turned the Sinan spoon again, and when it calmed down again, he said:
"There was too much snow, and the road was difficult. It may be because of suffering, so I feel that time passes slowly."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the few people around her, and all of them looked like they were suffering, with dull eyes and dull faces.

Xie Yuan suddenly laughed. In this windy weather, she laughed more than ever. She said:

"The bigger the snow, the better. The bigger the snow, the less the enemy can see us, and the safer we are. Tell everyone to speed up. With God's help today, we will surely win!"

Her words were cadenced and poised, coupled with that optimistic smile, it really shook people's spirits and made them optimistic.

"That's right, with such a heavy snowfall, the Beiyi people must be sleeping under the blankets. Who would have thought that we would travel so far to sneak attack? When the Lord goes, we will kill them one by one under the blankets!" He Guang, the chief of the four guards Say.

"Yes!" Xiao Erdan replied with a smile.

Niu Sanliang, who had been following him all the time, was jumping on the spot with his arms folded, as cold as sifting chaff, as if he didn't hear what they said.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan said, "Let's form a circle when we leave. The ones outside are sheltered from the wind and snow, and the people in the middle can be warmer. They come in turn. Niu Sanliang, you warm up in the middle first."

As soon as Xie Yuan's words fell, Niu Sanliang, who had kept his head down because of the cold, suddenly raised his head, looked at Xie Yuan in surprise, his eyes sparkled, and was very moved.

But Xie Yuan didn't give him a chance to respond, and directly said to Sun Tian, ​​the soldier behind him: "Call the messenger, pass on what I just said, and the way to keep warm, so that everyone can hear."

"Yes!" Sun Tian took the order to arrange people.

Xiao Erdan said to Xie Yuan: "Lieutenant, you also go to the middle to keep warm."

"What's the hurry?! No one can miss the turn, you go in first, the snot is frozen into icicles!" Xie Yuan said in a disgusted tone, pushed him into the encirclement, turned and left.

……

The majestic city wall is like a huge blue shadow in a vast expanse of white snow.

Xie Yuan and the others lay in the snow and looked at the blurred and swaying flames on the top of the city wall due to the wind and snow, as well as the swaying patrol figure in the flames.

He Guang, the chief of the four guards, cursed in a low voice, and said, "Damn it, the patrol is still so energetic in such a cold day?"

Xie Yuan pursed his lips and said, "Soldier, tell the three guards chief Li Huanshi to wait under the city gate according to the plan, and don't be discovered by anyone."

"Yes!" The orderly took the order and went.

"Niu Sanliang, it's up to you. Let's see where it's safer to get the hook. Let's touch it again."

"Okay, let's see." Niu Sanliang said a word, shrunk his neck and got up from the snow, shrinking his whole body like a small ball, dragging his white cloth cloak on the ground, and slipped under the city wall in a short while. Near the gate at the bottom of the city wall, I really looked like a mouse, stopped and looked around, and then came back.

"Lieutenant, look carefully, there are four places with no light, just right for the hook." He said, drew a straight line on the ground, clicked in the middle, and said:
"This is the gate, this location on the left, and here and here on the right."

Xie Yuan took a look, and ordered: "The people who throw the hook are divided into four groups. They all look at where this is, and follow them with them, and the rest of them stay behind."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed in a low voice, and began to divide into teams.

Xie Yuan was about to follow Niu Sanliang's queue, but was grabbed by He Guang, the chief of the four guards, and said:

"Captain, let me go! You stay and cover."
