Chapter 649: Snowstorm and Cold Blade (1)

Although he was only wearing a thin coat, Song Hongxin was still sweating profusely. He vigorously waved the shovel in his hand and shoveled the snow on the ground into a basket. Then his soldiers piled the snow onto the fortress. In a few days, The walls of his fortress, which could only accommodate more than a hundred people, became thicker by more than a foot and grew taller by a meter. (Baidu search updates are the fastest and most stable)

Putting the shovel on the ground, Song Hongxin looked at the devastation that he had dug up here and there around the fort, and smiled with satisfaction. "Okay, it's almost done. The stockade is almost done. Build the remaining snow into weights and knock them tightly. This is a gift from God to us. It allows us to make countless horses and antlers without any effort. , block the pile and let the Donghu cavalry eat shit!" Song Hongxin's rude words made more than a hundred men laugh.

After another long time, thousands of strange and strange snow lumps were erected around the village. The snow lumps as high as one person tall were scattered in a mess, forming a natural barrier. **The cold wind can make these snow lumps harder than stones.

Song Hongxing inspected the achievements of his brothers, looked at those strange shapes, and couldn't help laughing, "Is this done by that bastard? He actually made the facial features vivid? With such skill, you don't know how many bases are there?" How many?”

"Company Commander, it's me! I'm pretty good at my craftsmanship!" A young soldier jumped out and seemed not to be afraid of the company commander at all.

"The craftsmanship is pretty good, especially the thing below is very unique. One pillar holds the sky up. Xiao Haizi, you are so strong. Isn't this what you look like every morning?" Song Hongxing pointed to the shank between the snowman's crotches. Zhuzhu asked with a smile.

"Xiao Haizi's hasn't grown up yet. It's like an earthworm. It's so majestic there. This is Xiao Haizi's imagination!" On the other side, a bearded man said with evil intentions.

"Yours looks like an earthworm, Beard, do you dare to take it out and compare it in front of everyone!" Xiao Haizi's face turned red.

"Bibi, just Bibi!" The bearded man pretended to take off his belt, but Xiao Haizi turned around and ran away. It caused everyone to laugh wildly. Looking at their stature and age, they are definitely incomparable.

"Let's go back to the village. I estimate that the Donghu Barbarians are coming in just these two days. Let's have a good rest for two days and welcome these evil guests!" Song Hongxin was very satisfied with the relaxation of his brothers. Before the war, this kind of Relaxation represents everyone's high fighting spirit and determination to die.

Back at the village, everyone immediately changed out of their already wet clothes. After joining the Eastern Expedition Army, Song Hongxin’s biggest and most intuitive feeling was that the equipment in each soldier’s hands was really good. Looking at his brothers They put on the hoods that only exposed their eyes before putting on their helmets. Although the thick cotton coats looked a bit bloated, during the battle, they were able to hold up a layer of leather armor and a pair of gloves, allowing the soldiers to fight even when water was dripping into ice. Even in the weather, it is still guaranteed to be able to hold the handle of the knife and the gun rod firmly. Look at the densely packed crossbows on the wall of the village, and the neatly stacked arm-shaped crossbows at the back.

He couldn't help but lament that combat effectiveness sometimes had nothing to do with the courage of the soldiers, but depended on the killing weapons in their hands. The long-range weapons equipped by his village of more than a hundred people were enough to equip half of the former standing army of Yan State. military.

"Kill." This is the mission assigned by the regiment leader Chen Bin to Song Hongxin. "Brother, I don't want to hide it from you. You are the frontline village. It is said that nine deaths are easy in life. If you can't come back alive, then, I hope you Can take down enemies ten times your size to replenish your life.”

"Death?" Song Hongxin laughed. He should have died long ago. He has made a lot of money by living for these more years. For more than ten years, there has been a poisonous snake gnawing at his heart, making him uneasy day and night. At that time, he and a group of brothers were ordered to capture a bandit in the mountains. In the high mountains and dense forests, they were ambushed by the bandit. The whole team was surrounded by the bandit. He was the only one who served as a sentinel. , walking at the front of the team, the gangsters let him go, luring dozens of brothers behind to fall into the encirclement.

Over the years, Song Hongxin has been hating why he did not discover the enemy's ambush. His brothers believed in him so much that he led them to death. But when the battle broke out and the brothers fell into a bitter battle, he did not turn around. rescue, but a shameful escape.

In the end, dozens of brothers, except him, were wiped out on that mountain.

This was the biggest demonic obstacle in his heart. In the next ten years, it was this demonic obstacle that kept him from resting in peace. Every time in the dead of night, those bloody brothers would always appear in his dreams.

When he went out to conquer Donghu, he marched forward bravely, rushing to the front in every battle. He wanted to use his bravery, blood, or the enemy's head to prove that he was not a coward. He even wanted to fall down on the charging road and die. Under the sword of the enemy, in this way, he would have the face to meet those old brothers in the past, but his fate is so strange. He is not afraid of death, but he is able to survive every battle unharmed. Although he is bruised and bruised, he is not afraid of death. One place was fatal. The brothers around him fell one after another, but he was still alive and well.

There was no joy in his heart, only deeper pain.

This time, he asked the regiment leader Chen Bin for the task of guarding the village. It was precisely because he had always fought bravely and was not afraid of death that Chen Bin safely handed over this place to him.

"Ten times as many enemies!" Thinking of Chen Bin's words, he couldn't help but laugh, "Old Chen will really give me a difficult problem. I have more than a hundred people here, ten times as many as a thousand Donghu people. This task It’s a bit difficult.”

A gust of cold wind blew, Song Hongxin shivered, and his face felt like a knife had been scratched. Only then did he realize that he was distracted. He held the hood in his hand, but he didn't even put it on. He smiled to himself and put it on. Wearing a hood, a warm feeling came from the bottom of his heart. He strode to the top of the stockade wall and shouted to his brothers: "Hey, you've all rested enough. Get some water and water the wall. Let's make the stockade stronger." a little."

Buckets of water were carried up, and then poured on the snow wall outside. In an instant, it turned into a layer of shining ice, layer after layer. The soldiers took the trouble to cover their village wall. A coat of steel.

The fortress is surrounded by ice and snow armor. In addition to the enhanced defense, it also has a more important benefit, which is keeping warm. In the past few days, the village has been much warmer than before.

After dinner, Song Hongxin sat on the highest watchtower of the fortress and looked into the distance. As a veteran of more than ten years, he always felt that the war should break out in the next few days.

"Huzi, are you guys ready?" He looked back at Big Beard.

Beard nodded vigorously.

"How long can we sustain food, water, firewood, crossbows and arrows?"

"It's a lot. As long as it's not breached by the enemy, we can hold on for at least a month!"

"One month!" A smile appeared on Song Hongxin's face, "It's really possible to attract ten times as many enemies to fill your life! Huzi, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, there will be densely packed enemies around us, and we can't see them Reinforcements can only be fought alone, are you afraid? "

"What's there to be afraid of!" The wispy beard on Hu Zi's face seemed to be getting stiffer. "Kill as many as you come!"

Song Hongxin laughed loudly, "Okay, that's it, Huzi, you can take a few people to seal the gate of the village later. Block it, water it and freeze it. We won't go out anymore. We will fight here until the final victory." , or death.”

"Yes, company commander!" Huzi nodded vigorously.

"Xiao Haizi, I'll leave today's lookout mission to you. I'm going to take a nap. Don't fall asleep. Carefully watch your one-pillar holding the sky!" Song Hongxing patted Xiao Haizi's shoulder hard, and Song Hongxing laughed loudly. He walked down the watchtower with a smile.

On this day, Song Hongxin slept soundly, and those bloody comrades who often visited him in his dreams did not disturb him again. Instead, he dreamed of his horse running wildly in the ice and snow, cutting the Donghu people to the ground with the big knife in his hand like cutting leeks, and the horse came and went, so unhappy!

His war horse is so powerful, every time he steps on it, the ground seems to be shaking.

The ground shook and the mountains shook. Song Hongxin opened his eyes in excitement, straightened his waist, and jumped up from his bed. Yes, the fort seemed to be shaking, as if an earth dragon was rolling. It was the cavalry, and thousands of cavalry made it. The movement came out. Just when Song Hongxin stood up from his bed, the warning bugle was already sounding above the watchtower.

The security guard's stronghold immediately erupted in excitement. More than a hundred soldiers had been waiting attentively for the past few days. When they heard the siren, everyone immediately rushed to the stronghold wall with their weapons in hand. Song Hongxin followed the others towards the wall of the village while listening to his brothers shouting excitedly.

"***, finally come."

"Kill all these barbarians, and I will die."

"Kill them."

More than a hundred soldiers rushed to the wall of the village, the felt clothes on the crossbows were lifted, and the new and well-maintained bowstrings were taken out of the boxes, installed carefully, and then shook the handle. A huge crossbow was installed. The improved crossbows of the Zhengdong Army have greatly increased their firing speed. .

Some soldiers were squatting on the ground, taking out small bow strings from the box and installing them on the arm crossbows. This damn weather has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, these bow strings need to be carefully maintained, otherwise they will be damaged in this extreme situation. In cold weather, they are easily damaged, but these things are their greatest weapons for killing enemies.

Song Hongxin stood on the city wall. It was still dark in the distance. He could already hear the thunderous sound of horse hooves, but could not see any trace of the enemy. He raised his head to the sky, and the snowflakes in the sky were denser than during the day. It was a little bigger, and under the light of the fortress, it looked like pieces of dancing elves.

"Brothers, watch me kill the enemy!" He said silently in his heart. P
