Nature is cruel and ruthless. Now Chen Ying finally has a clear understanding. A strong cold wave from Siberia suddenly came, and this entire small Milan oasis suddenly turned into a world covered with ice and snow.

Although the soldiers had cotton coats and hats, thirty-one soldiers were frozen to death overnight. These soldiers were all standing. Before they died, they were frozen by the ice and snow trapped in the cold wave.

When Chen Ying saw them again, they were still on duty, but they were no longer breathing. Chen Ying was not a man of a heart. He had heard of the soldiers who were frozen into ice sculptures in later volunteers in North Korea. However, he did not have an intuitive understanding. Chen Ying did not expect that his army would encounter such a situation.

Continuing to march at this time is irresponsible to the lives of the soldiers, and setting up camp on the spot is not a good idea. The soil is frozen by the cold wave and is almost caught up with the steel. It is impossible to dig a ground nest for the time being to avoid the cold wave for the time being.

In the small Milan oasis, there were still some poplars, but this fuel could not provide Chen Ying's entire army with more than three days of consumption. Zhou Qing sent a whistle to search for the tribes on the oasis, but what he saw was a tribe of more than 300 people, tens of thousands of sheep, thousands of horses, including all the people, men, women, young and old, frozen into ice sculptures.

This is a punishment from nature. When Chen Ying saw this scene, he smiled bitterly: "It seems that this is God, the willful punishment for this Protector. The deaths of these people are God's warning to this Protector!"

Even as an atheist, Chen Ying had serious doubts about his persistent belief at this moment. Even if he was only a mountain range from Hexi, Alkin Mountain, but it was thousands of mountains and rivers, and there was no way.

Chen Ying ordered Zhou Qing: "Buried all these soldiers!"

Although the land is as hard as iron, there is no way. As long as the dry poplar trees are placed on the ground and burned, the flames will melt and freeze to death. As long as the flames are extinguished, deep pits can be dug out for at least a quarter of an hour.

In this way, the soldiers worked hard to bury the frozen soldiers to prevent them from corpsing in the wilderness.

The soldiers under Chen Ying silently collected the frozen cattle, sheep and horses of this tribe. Now their fuel is scarce. The frozen corpses of these cattle, sheep and horses can not only peel off their skin to keep warm, but also increase the source of meat. No matter how bad it is, they can also use the fat of cattle, sheep as fuel to burn the fire to keep warm.

Asunasmo could only order the soldiers to collect everything that could wear and protect the cold in this tribe. Chen Ying occupied the unknown tribe on the spot, but also found that the tribe was frozen to death because of the fuel cut off.

This is the tragedy of this era. People can avoid wars and disasters, but they cannot avoid punishments from nature. This is helpless.

These corpses, which were stripped naked by the soldiers, looked extremely eye-catching in Chen Ying's eyes, as if they were like a thorn, making Chen Ying feel uncomfortable.

Chen Ying sighed and said, "Buried them too!"

Asunasmo shook his head and said, "Major Protector, I have no objection to bury our own brothers, but they should forget it!"

Chen Ying's body trembled, which could increase his body temperature. While stomping his feet, he said, "As human beings, you have to be conscience. Although they die, death has nothing to do with us, but we took away their property. Even if all the cattle, sheep and horses are frozen to death, this is their property. People cannot be resurrected from death, and we cannot look at them in the wilderness."

Asunasmo was not afraid of hard work, but was afraid of insufficient fuel. You should know that thirty-one people had just been buried, and more than twenty dried poplar trees were burned. In the entire Milan oasis, there were actually thousands of Hu Yang trees. More than three hundred people were buried, which meant that more than two hundred trees were burned in vain. This was a waste.

Seeing Ashina Simo hesitating, Chen Ying said with a stern face: "Execute the order!"

Asunasmo had no choice but to turn around and leave and execute the order.

The original method was taken to pile the dried poplar trees on the ground, then pour oil on and ignite them, and soon a large fire was formed. However, when the fire was roasted in the wild, one side of the body was almost cooked, but it was still cold behind it.

The group of guards of the Great Guardian Mansion faced the fire with their backs facing the fire for a while.

However, a moment later, a wonder appeared, and snow formed above the fire and began to fall.

Zhou Qing's snot flowed to his mouth. When he touched his sleeve, the snot turned into ice and fell to the ground. Zhou Qing cursed from time to time: "This thief, God, it's really weird!"

"This is rare and strange!" Chen Ying explained: "The cold wave usually lasts for three or two days at most, and no more than five days at most. This is a unique climate on the Gobi wasteland. Water vapor cannot become clouds and can only stay in low altitudes. They are pervasive. It is because of them that they can feel even colder at the same low temperature. After the bonfire heats the wet and cold air, the moisture contained in the air becomes thin snowflakes and falls down. This is a natural phenomenon!"

After the frozen layer is melted by the burning fire, it is easy to dig.

In order to save trouble, the soldiers of the personal guard Zhechong Mansion dug a huge pit and prepared to bury all of these more than 300 large and small corpses. When the soldiers dug four or five feet deep underground, a soldier suddenly shouted excitedly: "Look, what is this?"

The soldiers hurriedly surrounded: "Have you dug up gold? Or gems?"

The soldier continued to dig down hard, and black and shiny black soil was exposed underground. These soldiers were not without knowledge. They had already clearly known that this kind of thing was coal. With coal, especially inexhaustible coal, it would be no problem for them to survive this cold wave.

The soldiers shouted excitedly while digging.

Chen Ying soon discovered this amazing discovery.

Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief. This was simply a gift from God.

The formation of the Western Regions was a magical thing created by nature. In ancient times, the Western Regions were oceans. Later, the crust slowly moved and the mantle rose, forming the mountains of the Western Regions. However, the Western Regions experienced a long evolution of oceans, grasslands, forests to the current wastelands.

The rich resources in the Western Regions in later generations were astonishing. Among them, coal accounts for 40% of our rabbits and oil exceeds one-third. Milan was a billion-level coal mine in later generations, and it was a semi-open-pit coal mine. The key is that due to the combustion problem here, there is no way to survive in winter, so generally speaking, this oasis with an area of ​​less than 600 square kilometers only has a few hundred habitats.

With coal, everything is much easier. Keep the fire out and pour the boiled snow water on the tent, it will soon be frozen into ice cubes. Slowly, the tents form iglooes, and then open all the tents to form a small ice city. There are enough cattle, sheep and horses here, and there is no shortage of meat. It is absolutely no problem to persevere until the cold wave recedes.

Asuna, who had always been resistant to Chen Ying's orders and was stunned when he looked at this scene. He believed that Chen Ying must have known that there was abundant coal underground in Milan, and that he had to bury these corpses just to create a favorable excuse for the discovery of this coal.

Chen Ying may be sure that he had never come to the Milan Oasis before. As for why Chen Ying was predicted by no means, Asunasmo attributed this to Chen Ying's super famous coach's instinct.

Follow Chen Ying, you will never get into trouble.

The soldiers entered the warm tent, happily sitting around the stove, grilling lamb, beef, and even horse meat. The originally sluggish morale began to soar.

...

Outside Dasan Pass, several Baiqisi spies looked around in a tea shed near the official road. Although the winter in Guanzhong is not as cold as the Western Regions, this is a tea shed surrounded by only thatched grass, which is also airtight. More than a dozen Baiqisi spies spies are here staring at the pedestrians on the official road.

Since the Baiqisi did not have the halo of Li Shimin at this time, the recruitment of personnel was extremely complex, including rangers and gangsters with difficulty in survival.

A bearded man holding a waist knife came to a leader next to him and said, "Tao Zheng, we men are drinking the northwest wind here, what are you trying to do! It's been three days now, and there's not even a ghost on the official road!"

Zheng Tou is actually Zheng Rentai's distant nephew, named Zheng Wencai. Zheng Wencai was injured in Luoyang and wanted by the government. He left Zheng Rentai's way and protected him in the Hundred Qishu and became a small leader.

Zheng Wencai glanced at the bearded man and said, "Your mother is talking nonsense. We are here to keep an eye on our master's life. We are here to keep an eye on our eyes. There is wine and meat here, so we don't have to worry about eating and drinking. What do you do if you do that much?"

The bearded man said, "There is a shortage of wine and meat, but aren't you afraid of being suffocated?"

Zheng Wencai laughed and scolded: "You will die sooner or later on a woman's belly!"

"Isn't there a poem that says? Death under the peony flowers, you can be romantic even if you become a ghost!" At this moment, the bearded woman in a red cloak on the official road said, "Zheng Tou, look, that girl is good, right?"

Zheng Wencai turned his head and saw a woman in red flying across the distance like a fire cloud. She appeared and disappeared at the end of the horizon. He couldn't help but be stunned, licked his lips and said, "What is that woman? She looks pretty!"

Zheng Wencai was excited. It is rare for women who can ride a fierce horse and pull a strong bow these days. Although they can't see the appearance of the woman so far away, his heroic figure still excited him. This woman is probably Yuwen Zhaoyi whom they asked them to find. He shouted loudly: "Chask me! I'll be rewarded when I catch that woman!"

The Hundred Riders and Detectives screamed like weasels seeing a chicken, and rode their horses to chase after them.

The woman in red never seemed to have expected so many people to come to chase her. She looked back unexpectedly, and this time she turned around and made Zheng Wen see her appearance clearly.

Although Yuwen Zhaoyi is not as charming as the nation, she is absolutely attractive. She is pretty and has a decisive determination that is not inferior to a man, and has a wildness derived from her bone marrow in her charm, which is somewhat similar to the Turkic women who bent their bows outside. Zheng Wencai became more and more excited. As long as Yuwen Zhaoyi's head is on her head, she can have fun before she dies.

Although Zheng Wencai was born in a side-family family, he had a wealthy family and had played with many beautiful women, but most of them were weak women who were scared to death just by looking at them. It would be boring if they played too much. This was the first time for a woman like this heroic and wild one to see her. The desire to conquer burst out like a mountain torrent. He screamed wildly, chasing her horse, shouting while chasing: "Don't run away, stop for me!"

The woman in red ignored it and just rode her horse to escape. Zheng Wencai and others chased after another mile and suddenly saw the woman turn around again. However, this time, she added a compound bow in her hand, and the bowstring was 50% full. She shot straight to Zheng Wencai's throat. Although Zheng Wencai was a vulgar man, he was from a clan, had learned literature and martial arts after all, and was pretty good at it. In addition, the power of this arrow was insufficient, so it was not threatening him. He just picked up the arrow and laughed: "Little lady, is this your token of love you gave me? Thank you!"

Yuwen Zhaoyi, dressed in red, didn't say anything. She shot several arrows in succession, and her accurate head was actually good, but she didn't have enough strength. She was either caught by Zheng Wencai's hand or was easily dodged by him, without any threat.

A bow is a good bow, and an arrow is also a good arrow, but the manpower to draw a bow is insufficient, and no matter how good the bow is, it is useless. The distance between the two is quickly narrowed.

Zheng Wencai laughed: "Miss, you are flirting with a family!" He kept taking advantage of his mouth, not delaying his hands, and just chasing him hard. In a blink of an eye, he passed by more than ten miles and came to a high earth slope.

Yuwen Zhaoyi did not escape, turned his horse's head and swished three arrows in a row. The wind was shaking, and the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air was like a long roar of hawks. The three sergeant sergeant sergeant were caught in the throat and fell from the horse's back. They didn't even have time to hum and died. These three arrows scared the sergeant sergeant who was taking advantage of the sergeant sergeant, and they all tied the horses and dared not approach them again.

At this moment, a sound of horse hooves sounded behind them.

Zheng Wencai turned his head and saw that he was suddenly filled with horror.

The back road was blocked for dozens of miles behind.

Dozens of knights appeared next to the woman in red on the hillside ahead. His face suddenly changed drastically, and this was obviously a trap!
