Chapter 1215 Under the Snow
"That's right." There was no need to deny this matter, so Xia Fan nodded honestly and said, "It just so happened that my swallowing sky pocket contained a lot of snow, which was really useless. So he just sprinkled it out to cause some trouble for the Great Sun Demon Kingdom."
"Are you not afraid that they will rely on us and say we will take the lead?" Xia Xue frowned.
"It's just a snowfall. If the Great Sun Demon Kingdom starts war with us because of this, then I will really be convinced of their shamelessness." Xia Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Besides, this war will not be fought. When to start the battle in what kind of way is not up to them, I have to decide."
"You...you don't want to start a war on your own initiative, right?" Xia Xue asked. There was a little worry in her expression, and there was a bit of eagerness to try, which was very contradictory.
"Since the war between us and the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is inevitable, we can always take advantage of it if we start first." Xia Fan smiled and said, "It's just that how to fight, I have my own ideas. There is no need for a soldier and a soldier from Tongtian Pass in the short term."
"What are you going to fight?" Xia Xue was shocked and surprised.
"You will know later." Xia Fan kept it a secret and said, "Actually, since yesterday, my people have already started to take action."
"This snow?" Xia Xue was stunned.
"No." Xia Fan pointed to the snowy road in the distance: "All actions are covered in the snow."
In fact, Xia Fan spent so much effort to create such a big blizzard, of course it was impossible to just collapse the military camp of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom.
Similarly, he did not expect that there would be thick snow piles in the passage between Longshou Mountain and Tongtian Ridge to stop the Great Sun Demon Kingdom's army.
As long as the Great Sun Demon Kingdom wants to start a war, there will be a sea of swords and fires ahead, and their army will still drive over. Not to mention that these are just some snow.
The real purpose of Xia Fan doing this is to create a battlefield that is beneficial to his side.
After all, for the ice and snow giant clan who has surrendered to him now, there is definitely a world of difference between being in the snow and being in the snow and being able to exert its combat power on the ordinary battlefield.
Even in order to enable the ice and snow giants to exert their strongest combat power, Xia Fan had to make such a blizzard.
Second, Xia Fan wants to kill the Great Sun Demon Kingdom hard.
Xia Fan had more than once the experience of commanding troops to fight, so he naturally knew that what an army feared most when fighting outside was not that the enemy was too strong, but that the food and grass were often not available.
So Xia Fan would definitely give the Great Sun Demon Kingdom a single cut to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, so that their soldiers could enjoy the feeling of hunger.
Of course, it is definitely not possible to rob clearly, because that will inevitably trigger this war immediately.
So Xia Fan decided to steal secretly. When night fell, the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom had to withdraw from the barracks due to blizzards, and the barracks were soon crushed by heavy snow, the grain-stolen army sent by Xia Fan came on stage.
Although the snow is thick, it is a great trouble for ordinary people, but it is nothing to the ice and snow giants. They are definitely like fish in water in the ice and snow, quietly opening up many channels directly to the place where the Great Sun Demon Kingdom military camp is located.
Then Fu Cha led the demon army secretly along the passage and moved all the massive amount of materials stored in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom military camp.
When there was nothing left in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom military camp, Fu Cha took the people away, and the ice and snow giant blocked the passage again with snow.
Everything was going quickly, efficiently and without leaving any trace, so that until now, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom had no idea that its supplies had completely disappeared.
At this moment, the generals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom were discussing to gather people as soon as possible, dig up the snow, and get out food, grass and other supplies, otherwise the soldiers and mounts would go hungry.
Because of the great relationship, no generals shirked their responsibilities and made a decision soon. On the one hand, they sent people to the rear to mobilize food and grass as soon as possible, while on the other hand, they asked the civilians who followed the army to dig for snow.
Digging out the snow to rescue food and grass is easy to say, but it is really difficult to do.
You should know that although the coverage of this blizzard is only more than a thousand miles wide, the military camp of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom happened to be located at the center of the blizzard, and within four or five hundred miles, there were thirty or forty feet of snow.
In order to avoid the misfortune of being buried by the blizzard, the army of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom retreated and retreated four or five hundred miles away before stopping.
In this way, although there is no need to worry about the entire army being destroyed under the blizzard, the military camp was also thrown four or five hundred miles away.
If such a distance is just a marching in normal times, it is nothing to a powerful elite army, and it may be able to complete it in half an hour.
But now they are facing snow that is as deep as forty or fifty feet, so the situation is very different.
Digging snow from outside means that they have to dig out at least a passage of nearly four or five hundred miles. Just thinking about the amount of snow they want to dig out is enough to scare people.
And if they want to pass the snow and dig near the military camp, it will be quite difficult. Just imagine, it is actually quite difficult to dig a snow cave from top to bottom forty or fifty feet deep.
You should know that ice and snow are not soil, especially when they have not undergone slight melting and freezing, the snow is quite fluffy. Although it is not as easy to collapse as sand, it is not an easy task to dig down forty or fifty feet and keep the passage stable.
The giant ice and snow can do anything to travel in ice and snow because they are naturally good at this, just like fish swimming in water, which is the easiest and normal thing.
However, the husbands of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom certainly do not have such skills, which means that they will face a lot of troubles.
Which of the two methods is better? The generals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom who led the troops to fight were not aware of it. After discussing for a long time, they had no results. So they finally decided to take a two-pronged approach and use which one is better.
Then the two teams of civilians began to get busy, and the army was accompanying them, not only to protect the safety of these civilians, but more importantly to guard against the enemy's conspiracies.
Since the generals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom realized that the snow was very strange, there must be the enemy's tricks behind it, so of course they would not be without guarding.
Many generals even held their energy and wanted to wait for the enemy to come and fight, and spread the suffocation of the blizzard crushing the military camp. At the same time, they also used the excuse to detonate this long-prepared war.
But soon the generals of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom realized that they had far underestimated the evil and cruelty of their enemies.
Because when the civilians on both sides started construction without any problems for a long time, the accompanying army could not help but relax. But at this moment, a violent avalanche suddenly came, attracting everyone off guard.
This avalanche is different from the collapse of the snow-capped mountains. It is just that the passage dug by migrant workers collapses, but the result is absolutely no worse than the large avalanche on the snow-capped mountains.
The civilians on both sides and the accompanying troops were counted as one. Tongtong was covered with snow and died on the spot, and none of them survived.
What’s worse than the dead is that the passages and snow caves that were finally dug out before were completely destroyed. If you want to continue digging for food, grass and supplies, you have to start over.
If one collapse can be said to be an accident, and two places collapse together, it can only be said to be a deliberate destruction by someone.
However, although the army in the Great Sun Demon Kingdom now has as many as 500,000, no one can see where the enemy is, and even if they want to take revenge, they will not be able to do so.
But the enemy's attack did not stop, because the people who were ordered to rescue the civilians and soldiers buried in the avalanche were also in big trouble.
Many big pits suddenly appeared under their feet, and then they were trapped without any warning. The next result can be imagined.
As Xia Fan said, it is really impossible to decide when and how the war will start in what way, but he decided. Therefore, the war he prepared for the Great Sun Demon Kingdom began without even giving a greeting.
Because the capture time was too short, Xia Fan had not had time to conquer the fourteen or five ice and snow giants locked in the Lock Heaven Tribulation.
However, for Xia Fan, this is not a problem. Because the 70,000 to 80,000 ice and 80,000 ice and snow giants that have been surrendered are enough for him.
Although the narrowest gap between Tongtianling and Longshou Mountain is only more than 230 miles, its depth exceeds eight or nine hundred miles. Even if Tongtian Pass occupies a part, the remaining part is three or four hundred miles.
Now, except for Tongtian Pass, the gap is full of ice and snow, which has completely become the most suitable environment for the battle between the giant ice and snow spirits.
Xia Fan did not throw all the ice and snow giants into it, but only sent less than 20,000, but their combat power in the ice and snow environment was enough to turn the place upside down.
Even if the Great Sun Demon Kingdom put all the existing 500,000 troops into this battlefield, they might not have won.
This is the benefit after occupying the geographical advantage.
If Xia Fan hadn't happened to go to the Demon World and conquered so many ice and snow giants, then the battlefield outside would be a different situation now.
Of course, he would not let the soldiers of Tongtian Pass fight, but would throw out the flames in his hands and turn this huge gap into a place covered by flames, magma and thick smoke.
Compared to the latter, the ice giant spirit covered by ice and snow is undoubtedly more secretive.
Of course, the giant ice and snow will not only hide in the ice and snow to attack, but their head-on combat strength is also not weak. Otherwise, they would not have fought with the demons in the Eastern Demon Realm for so many years but were not wiped out. Instead, the number is increasing.
Although he had conquered some of the ice and snow giants, Xia Fan would not completely believe them, so he still sent some teams of mixed three tribes to accompany him.
These three-parent mixed teams do not need to directly participate in the battle. Their mission is only to supervise the ice and snow giants that were previously subdued by them in simple and rough ways.
If the latter has any plans to be disobedient or want to escape, then they can take action to kill it at any time.
However, these ice giants had no intention of turning against each other. They were honest from beginning to end and worked very hard during the battle.
