A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 290: Thousands of Miles Frozen, God Will Not Bless Zhao
Shangdang County, Changping.

The wind is biting, snowflakes are all over the sky, and the mountains and forests are covered in snow.

In Zhao Jun's camp, heavy snow fell. Within a quarter of an hour, the snowflakes could cover their ankles. The wind was biting. Some smart soldiers immediately wanted to escape from the forest after seeing the snowfall.But before these soldiers could run out of the forest, the heavy snow and cold wind had already stiffened his hands and feet, and he eventually fell to death in the forest.

When other soldiers saw the snowfall, they quickly carried hay into their tents to keep warm, and many soldiers lit campfires to keep out the cold.The flames drove away the cold, but the snow continued to fall.At the same time, the Qin army, which was leading its army to cut off the Huai army's retreat, also encountered the same trouble.

The sudden blizzard caught Qin off guard, and the Qin army also did not prepare winter clothes.The thin clothes are covered with cold iron armor.The cold wind blew, the armor was biting, and the heavy snow fell. The Qin army also looked for something to keep out the cold. However, the snow fell too fast. In less than half an hour, thick snow piled up on the ground. .

Although Bai Qi has high prestige and is respected as a god by Qin soldiers, facing this sudden snowfall, he is only a mortal and not a god.Seeing the sudden heavy snowfall, Bai Qi sent troops out of the camp to rush towards Qin, hoping to get Qin to send cotton-padded clothes, and at the same time ordered the army to cut down wood for warmth.

However, the newly felled trees were too wet to be ignited, and there was not enough wood in the camp to use.A large number of soldiers huddled in a tent trying to stay warm.

The Qin and Zhao armies used various methods to keep warm, but the cold wind still blew through the mountains and forests, and the heavy snow showed no signs of stopping.

Countless soldiers of Qin and Zhao were frozen to death in the cold wind and heavy snow, and then became stiff and finally turned into twisted and cold corpses.

Bai Qi looked at the sudden heavy snowfall. The Qin army had cut off the Huai army's return journey and blocked all 60 Huai army in Shangdang County.Shangdang County is surrounded by mountains and all access roads are blocked. As long as they hold on for a month, the Huai army will collapse without a fight.But at this time, heavy snow fell, the wind was biting, and countless soldiers were frozen to death.

The Huai army, which was already in dire straits, not only escaped, but now it turned defeat into victory.

"People make plans, and heaven helps them succeed! Why doesn't heaven help Qin but helps Huai? I don't accept it!" Bai Qi roared, looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky, a feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.

In the Zhao army's camp, Lian Po looked at the sky with disbelief, and then closed his eyes in pain. In order to defeat the Huai army, the Zhao army kept fighting with the Huai army, causing heavy casualties.

After finally leading the Huai army into a desperate situation, a sudden heavy snowfall destroyed the good situation.

"God will not bless Zhao! God will not bless Zhao! What can I do!"

Because the Huai army had taken precautions in advance, the army retreated from the mountains one after another, stood on the flat ground, and had prepared enough firewood.In addition, there is no cold wind or blizzard here. Although the temperature has dropped, there is enough firewood to keep warm. Compared with the Qin and Zhao armies, it is simply paradise.

It snowed heavily for three days and three nights, and the cold wind also lasted for three days and three nights.By the fourth day, the cold wind dissipated and the heavy snow stopped falling.However, except for a few places in the entire Shangdang County, the remaining mountains and passes were all covered with a thick layer of white snow.

The mountain peaks were covered with a layer of white gauze, and the trees were also covered with silver. There was silence in the mountains. Even the birds, insects, and snakes disappeared without a trace. The whole world was white and silent.This sight makes people want to recite a poem.But beneath this beautiful appearance, there are countless dangers hidden.Heavy snow closed the mountains, and the troops of Zhao and Qin who were originally hiding in the mountains could not come out because of the lack of cotton-padded clothes. After the sudden snowfall, a large number of soldiers fell ill. There were not that many medicines in the army, so many people could only resign themselves to their fate.The camps of Qin Army and Zhao Army were even covered with thick white snow, and even some tents were collapsed by the snow.Under these tents, a large number of soldiers huddled together and froze to death.

There was a sudden heavy snowfall, and more than half of the soldiers were frozen to death and sick, and the remaining soldiers were barely able to survive.And more and more soldiers are getting sick.

Due to lack of medical treatment and medicine, the Qin and Zhao armies were on the verge of collapse. If the heavy snow had not sealed the mountains, these Qin and Zhao armies would have collapsed long ago.But even if they were not defeated, these armies were completely unable to fight anymore, and even Bai Qi and Lian Po had no choice.

After the sacrifice to the sky was over, the snow fell suddenly. Prince Luo did not go to see his masterpiece again, but returned to the camp under the escort of Yu Linwei.Then the entire camp was put under martial law and no one was allowed to enter, even Xu Chao was not allowed to enter.

Xu Chao looked at the heavy snow in the distance with a shocked expression, feeling even more in awe of his master.All this is no longer a mortal force. In the past, he just regarded the records in the history books as a coincidence, and then Taishi Ling recorded it again, or even did it deliberately.

But after experiencing it personally, he suddenly understood, are there so many coincidences in this world?Are the history books recorded by Taishi Ling made up?Totally conservative.

It is true that the Huai State was protected by its ancestors.

In the camp, after everyone else left, Prince Luo breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, his body could no longer support him and he lay directly on the ground.

The cost of using earth-level props like Blizzard is very high. This time it directly consumed ten years of his life, but the effect is also very good.Prince Luo had no regrets about releasing this destiny artifact. The moment he released the artifact, he felt like he was in control of everything.

After using the artifact, Prince Luo became very weak and soon fell into a deep sleep.At the same time, the royal family of King Huai became more sacred in the hearts of Huai soldiers.

A heavy snow fell, and the morale of the Huai army was high. The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven represented that the destiny of Huai was in Huai.Everyone believes that they will win.After Xu Chao watched the heavy snow stop, he immediately mobilized his troops and horses. The army took the opportunity to seize the passes, and at the same time he wanted to open up the army's retreat and transport food and grass.

After the heavy snow stopped, the sun appeared in space and the snow and ice in the mountains began to melt.

Tens of thousands of Huai troops returned and soon arrived at the place where the Qin army blocked them.At this time, the Qin army suffered heavy losses in the camp, and a large number of soldiers were either frozen to death or seriously ill.There was no way to resist the Huai army's attack.

The Huai army captured these camps very easily. All the Qin troops in the camps were captured by the Huai army. The soldiers in the Qin army camp did not resist at all. They even surrendered to the Huai army one after another after seeing the Huai army. Exchange for hot food and cotton-padded clothes.

It can be said that the Huai State captured this pass without any bloodshed. At the same time, the passes in other places in Shangdang County were also breached by the Huai army one after another.
