Chapter 221 The weather is cold again!

"Be careful, be careful!" On a river dozens of meters wide, two soldiers were looking forward carefully, and they saw him move forward carefully, as if the road to death was ahead.

The soldier had a hemp rope tied to his waist, and there were more than a dozen people on the river bank behind him pulling the other end of the hemp rope, for fear that something would happen would happen and he would pull him up in time.

The two soldiers squatted on the frozen river surface, slowly moving forward, holding a long wooden pole in their hands, poking the ice surface forward. He was testing whether the ice on the ice surface was solid. Otherwise, it would not be a joke when people fell into it. If the weather fell into the ice hole, even if they would be rescued, they would be flooded by the cold river water and the bone-thrusting cold wind. That was not a joke. It would really kill people. Even if they didn't die, they would make you seriously ill and would cause permanent pain.

These two soldiers are also the result of a brave man who will be rewarded with great rewards.

A few days ago, Mao Wenlong's army arrived at the south bank of the river. At first sight, the river was dozens of meters wide, but Mao Wenlong was not discouraged because the river had already frozen at this time, and a layer of ice formed on the entire river surface from the south bank to the north bank.

Just when Mao Wenlong arranged for people to cross the river, several soldiers exploring the way broke before they could marching ten meters on the ice surface. The soldiers exploring the way on the ice were swallowed up by the river at once, and they didn't even have the chance to shout and were overwhelmed by the bottom of the ice.

All the soldiers who were ready to cross the river stopped. Looking at the river that could eat people, everyone felt a cold sweat in their hearts. Even if they were wearing new cotton sent by the emperor, they couldn't help but feel numb behind them.

They smashed the ice layer on the edge of the river and saw it, at least one foot thick!

Not to mention leaving, even if people ride on horseback, they can easily walk over. But I didn’t expect that the ice layer in the middle of the river is so thin. A person who doesn’t even wear armor can’t bear it. If the army of tens of thousands of people behind us goes up, the ice layer will be broken?

In this way, how can these ten thousand troops pass by?

Mao Wenlong saw it and was anxious. He sent someone along the banks of the river to find a place where he could cross the river. However, after running dozens of miles, they found that there was no place where he could cross the river. Now the surface of this section of the river is already good, and some places in the downstream have not even frozen.

Mao Wenlong and Mao Chengzuo were so anxious that he squatted on the ground, chewing a dead grass pole in his mouth, staring at the two soldiers who were carefully exploring in front of him, and kept silently reciting in his heart, "You must go over, you must go over."

Ten thousand troops, ten thousand troops finally came here, but they were about to succeed, but the river blocked them!

The most unfortunate thing is the news from behind that Jiannu’s nest has already emerged, and their nest Shengjing has almost no troops now. This is a god-given opportunity.

Think about it, if he led his army into Shengjing City, lived happily in Jiannu's nest, and then turned Shengjing City upside down, then the emperor would treat him like this, and this contribution would be extraordinary.

Maybe, Mao Wenlong thought that he, the uncle of Jiangdong, might become a marquis when the emperor was happy.

Marquis! There are only a few Marquis of Man Daming. If he could become a Marquis, it would be a glorious for his ancestors. In a hundred years, he would go down to see his ancestors in a grand manner!

And I heard that there are a lot of fun hidden in Huang Taiji's palace. Just the beauty on the grassland is unbearable. If you had sex with Yunyu, it would have been in vain to come to this world.

Just when Mao Wenlong was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a sudden shock. No, no, no, no, I can't enjoy it myself, so I have to bring it back and offer it to the emperor. I just enjoy it myself. If the emperor is happy, then my Mao family will have been rich for many years.

Yes, I’ll offer you my respect! If you get the emperor’s joy, you will have wealth and honor. With this wealth and honor, what kind of woman can’t be found!

It was just the next thing that interrupted his mind.

"Save people! Save people!"

"Pull it quickly and pull the person up!"

"Master, the man has fallen again." Geng Zhongming went up and clasped his fists to report to Mao Wenlong.

"I'm not blind!" Mao Wenlong angrily threw the rotten dead grass pole in his mouth to the ground.

"Damn I don't believe it! I can't get through!" Mao Wenlong originally wanted to send someone up to explore again, but it was too late to explore again because he didn't know what to do, so he had to give up.

Because this path is difficult to walk, Mao Wenlong ordered the army to move forward lightly, and even did not bring tents, so he brought some food and weapons.

Mao Wenlong shrank in a small hole, and a ball of fire rose in front of him. With this flame, he could warm him up a little.

"Father!" A man squeezed into the cave. Mao Wenlong saw that it was Mao Chengzuo.

"Sit down, the grilling fire is warmer, let's take a sip to get rid of the cold." Mao Wenlong picked up a green round kettle next to the fire and handed it on.

Mao Chengzuo took it and took a sip, and found that there was a hot spirit inside.

The spirits penetrated deep into the throat and suddenly felt like a warm current of my body was wandering around, and it suddenly became cold.

"What a wine, Father, don't say that the things the emperor sent are good. The wine in this kettle is still hot in such a cold day. It's amazing." Mao Chengzuo touched his mouth and twisted the lid and sighed.

"Yes, it is indeed a magical object. If it weren't for the blankets sent by the emperor, this thermos pot and that shovel, we would have to freeze to death here." Mao Wenlong nodded in agreement.

A few days ago, the emperor sent many good things, such as backpacks and packs, which can hold hundreds of kilograms of things, soldiers carry dry food, at least ten and half a month, and there is no need for supplies to follow them. As well as these cotton coats, cotton pants and shoes, the most advantageous thing is that shovels, which can be dug a hole in the sharp and hard ground. If there is no such thing, I don’t know how many soldiers will be frozen to death here.

What’s even more amazing is this thermos pot. Without this thermal water, Mao Wenlong would not be able to withstand this winter.

"Eat some this." Mao Wenlong handed over a piece of rock candy.

"Father, otherwise I will take my brothers to log and build a ship." Mao Chengzuo said.

"It's too late, so many people can't be transported by logging and shipbuilding." Mao Wenlong shook his head. Not to mention that there are no trees nearby, even if there are iron wood that is harder than iron, there are no marks when the swords and soldiers cut them up. How can you log and build a shipbuilding?

"Father, we can't wait here. The weather outside has changed again and it's a lot colder. If we don't cross the river, we will have to freeze to death here."

"Sigh..." Mao Wenlong shook his head and what could he do about God's affairs?

The weather has become much colder again...

The weather is getting colder again! Mao Wenlong's eyes widened.
