"Is it snowing?" When Bao Geng came out of the wounded barracks, he suddenly felt a coldness on his face. He subconsciously touched it, but found a handful of water stains. When he looked up, he saw thin snowflakes starting to float in the sky.

snowflake.

"Well, there is very little snow this year." The guard of Lulong Village nodded and said: "It won't be too big, but next year I'm afraid it will be a drought year."

It doesn't matter if it doesn't drop too much.

Bao Geng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Send someone to Wu Ending to summon the necessary medicinal materials as soon as possible."

Of the 800 defenders of Lulong Village, three times as many were infected with the cold than died in the battle. The remnants of the Yuan family will probably use this method again, so what Lulong Village lacks now is not military rations, but medicinal materials to treat the cold.

.

"Here!"

There was no words all night. When Bao Geng came out of the barracks early the next morning, the world was quiet. Looking around, he saw a vast expanse of white. Snowflakes danced wildly between the sky and the earth, and heavy snowflakes like goose feathers floated down one after another.

When I step into the snow, the snow can reach up to my ankles.

"Why are you still here?" Bao Geng's face became unsightly, and he quickly ordered his personal guards to gather the generals in the city.

"You have been fighting with Yuan's army for a long time. Do you know how many troops Yuan's army has?" Bao Geng looked at the Lulongzhai defender and asked.

"There were nearly ten thousand people. I don't know if there were more troops later. Last year, many people from Jizhou and Hebei voluntarily went to the Bailang Mountain area to defect to the Yuan family. Moreover, when the Yuan family retreated, they also brought many defeated soldiers with them."

The general also sensed that something was wrong. If the snow continued to fall and the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, the foster care in Lulong Village would not be so lucky.

This was actually not a big deal in previous years. Lulong Village is located in the northern border of the Han Dynasty, where it snows all year round. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Lulong Village has a lot of food stored in it, which is enough for the guards to survive this cold winter. But now it is very dangerous.

What is needed is medicinal materials. If they cannot be delivered in time, these soldiers infected with the cold will have to carry it on their own!

Even if the same method is used here, there are many family members and few family members, so the hard cost will definitely not be enough.

Bao Geng frowned, looked at everyone and said: "While the heavy snow has not completely blocked the road, immediately send someone to urge me. Don't worry about anything else. Get me the medicine as soon as possible."

"Here!"

"Report~"

At this moment, a soldier rushed to the door and shouted: "Generals, the bandits are attacking the city."

"Go and do it!" Bao Geng stood up and shouted in a deep voice: "Others, follow me to the city to defend the enemy!"

"Here!"

Bao Geng did not bring the whole army together. He divided his two troops and the 300 people in Lulong Village who could still fight into three groups, and took turns to go to the city to defend the enemy. The remaining 200 people were replenished at any time.

This can reduce unnecessary losses and at the same time allow the soldiers to get adequate rest.

Yesterday, according to Bao Geng's instructions, the oil pans on the city wall that were originally used to boil oil were now replaced with water. It was snowing heavily, so there was no need to get ice, just use the snow to boil water.

Pots of water were boiling, and Bao Geng led his men to inspect the city wall. The enemy on the opposite side had already set up a military formation, with eight catapults surrounded by a mountain of jars.

It seems that it is not as powerful as the stone bullet, but these days, the defenders of Lulong Village have seen the viciousness of this thing.

The siege ladder began to push toward the city wall along the slope of the piled corpses.

Bao Geng was not used to the northern weather. When he was patrolling the city, he slipped on the ice buried under the snow and fell to the ground.

"General, are you okay?" Two guards quickly pulled Bao Geng up.

"What can be done?" Bao Geng was a little embarrassed, then he looked at the ice on the ground, then at the gentle slope that was already covered with snow, thought for a while and said to the person next to him: "Throw the water jar on that slope.

"

"Here!"

Several generals nodded and asked people to pour water into the water jars and throw them towards the slope below the city. The water jars shattered one after another, and the hot water quickly melted the surrounding snow.

"Don't throw it away! Bows and arrows, release them!" After just throwing them once, almost all the snow in front of the city wall was covered. Bao Geng asked him not to throw them away, and ordered the archers to start releasing arrows.

Arrows from both sides crisscrossed in the air, and each jar was smashed by the opponent's catapult.

Bang bang bang~

In the broken jar, ice shards mixed with icy cold water splashed in all directions. It was not a big problem. This thing was not a poison that could seal the throat. If you get a little bit of it, you will die. In fact, it is not directly affected by the water.

It was splashed on the body, but some places were splashed with water, so it was basically nothing. What was terrible was that the opponent's water jar kept hitting it, and it accumulated to be really fatal.

Eight catapults!

Bao Geng wandered on the city wall and looked at the eight catapults on the other side. He was filled with hatred. The city wall of Lulongzhai was not too thick and could not accommodate catapults, and there was basically no point in placing bows and arrows on catapults.

It's a pity that Youzhou has just been settled, and many of the weapons of the Guanzhong Army are missing, and many suppression methods are missing. If there are a few army-breaking crossbows here, how can they make these people so arrogant?

The siege ladder was set up on the city wall, and soldiers began to climb up the city wall. Hot boiling water was continuously poured down the ladder. The temperature of the boiling water alone made these Yuan troops crippled.

What's worse is that the water jar that Bao Geng threw down has now re-frozen. If Yuan Jun who rushes up accidentally slips, it will fall into a large area.

"Hahaha~" The pressure on the city was relieved, and the roar of laughter from time to time made the Yuan Jun soldiers below the city angry.

"Smash it with me!" The general responsible for directing the projecting water altar from behind shouted sternly.

The momentum of the siege slowed down, but the fighting did not stop. It was too late to boil the water. Bao Geng ordered the soldiers to fall down as long as the snow melted.

It felt like a water battle. The role of water could only be slowly exerted after the war. However, on the battlefield, the ice was covered with corpses.

Get up, and the reinforcements soldiers rush forward again.

The fighting lasted from morning to evening. When the sky darkened, the reinforcements were called in to retreat.

"Huh~" Finally he breathed a sigh of relief. Bao Geng looked around and saw that the city wall was in a bit of a mess. The snow was still falling. Many corpses had been frozen on the city wall by ice cubes. Someone boiled water to melt the ice cubes and put them on the city wall.

The corpses were dug out, and those of the enemy were thrown directly from the top of the city, while those of our own soldiers were taken back and buried.

"General, more than thirty people are dead." The guard came to Bao Geng and bowed.

"Let people change their defenses. If you have water on your body, go back and dry it quickly, so as not to catch the cold!" Bao Geng nodded. Only a few people died in the battle, but how many people will be infected with the cold today? No one knows.

"General, please go and rest quickly." The guard looked at the water stains on Bao Geng's body and said worriedly.

At this time, if Bao Geng was also infected with the cold, it would be a fatal blow to the morale of the Lulongzhai defenders.

"Don't worry, my general's body will not collapse so easily." Bao Geng waved his hand carelessly and said with a smile.

"It's better to go back," the guard advised bitterly.

"That's okay." Bao Geng nodded, but looked at the snow that had begun to pile up on the city wall, and then looked at the sky, feeling even more depressed.
