"The specific situation is not very clear, but it probably is not very good!" Luo Shixin rubbed his face and said helplessly: "The Turks launched a large number of troops. How good can the situation in Lingzhou be? "

Chen Ying looked silent when he heard this.

Although the military strength of the Turkic Khanate is strong, their national strength is not strong. The food and grass they usually accumulate is very limited, especially in such cold weather conditions, the Turkic cattle, sheep and horses will freeze to death. Of course, there is no need to worry about food for a while, but more than 30,000 Turkic people consume a huge number every day.

Like horses, the amount of food intake depends on the calorie consumption in the body. Usually, horses only eat ten kilograms of fodder a day and don’t have to worry about losing weight. However, in the current weather, even if you feed twenty kilograms of fodder a day, you will still lose weight. You can only increase beans or wheat bran.

Similarly, in ordinary times, people can save their lives by eating one pound of grain, and if they do strenuous exercise, three pounds of grain cannot be saved. At present, three pounds of grain supply is the lowest standard. Chen Ying roughly estimates that more than 30,000 Turkic people need to consume at least 1,000 stones of grain and nearly 100,000 stones of forage every day.

Now, in addition to food and grass, we also need to consume a lot of fuel. Without fuel, no one can withstand such weather.

"If you don't break through Lingzhou, the Turks can't survive this winter!" Chen Ying frowned and said, "So, they will definitely attack Lingzhou at all costs!"

Luo Shixin nodded and said, "This is for sure, but our strength now provides relief to Lingzhou. Once the Turks are allowed to touch our camp, they will not be polite!"

"I know this!" Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "The most important thing now is to find out the situation in Lingzhou. Can you select a group of dead soldiers and take the opportunity to enter Lingzhou City and contact Lingzhou?"

"I'm afraid there is little hope!" Zhang Shigui said: "Now there is ice and snow everywhere, and our armor is extremely conspicuous. Even if it is ten or eight miles away, you can see it at a glance!"

"By the way, we can pretend!"

Chen Ying remembered that the camouflage technology in later generations was very mature. It not only had digital camouflage that could prevent infrared detection, but also had jungle camouflage that adapted to jungle combat, desert camouflage of the terrain next to the desert, and mountain camouflage. Of course, snow camouflage is easier without infrared detection technology.

Zhang Shigui looked at Chen Ying in confusion and said, "General Chen is still proficient in the Five Elements Escape Technique?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "There is no need for the Five Elements Escape Technique. We only need to wear a white cloak under the moon. Even if we get closer, we can't find it in the snow!"

The Five Elements Escape Technique is the foundation of Taoist magic. The Japanese envoys who sent the Tang Dynasty learned the Five Elements Escape Technique from the Tang Dynasty and improved it, forming the famous Japanese ninjutsu in later generations. In fact, in this era, it was not a very clever thing.

When Chen Ying thought of disguise instantly, he asked someone to find a few pieces of white silk cloth under the moon, and Zhang Shigui became a teenager in experiments. Since there was no professional tailor, Chen Ying almost wrapped Zhang Shigui in white, and even didn't let his face go.

Sure enough, Zhang Shigui was almost integrated with the snowy surface ten steps away.

"It's still not possible!"

Zhang Shigui said: "In this way, you can only hide in the snow without moving. As long as you move, the scouts of the Turks or Liang Shidu can judge from the traces in the snow that someone is sneaking in!"

"Then it's a little more trouble!" Chen Ying thought of Yang Zirong's surprise attack on Mount Weiwu in the forest and sea, using snowboards and white cloaks. In this way, even if the Turks discovered that they were riding horses in snow, they were not as fast as snowboards. In the extreme weather in later generations, snowboards could have an extreme speed of 90 kilometers per hour.

Of course, the objective conditions for such high speed are very harsh. Chen Ying did not ask for a high speed of 90 kilometers per hour, but only the speed of 30 kilometers per hour for Turkic cavalry marching in the snow was 30 kilometers per hour.

Chen Ying did what he thought of and immediately asked someone to come to the supervisor and Lin Chuanfu.

This time, the Ministry of War mobilized five or six thousand civil servants to transport supplies with the army. However, on the way, Chen Ying gradually let the civil servants return the same way, mainly because the more people, the more consumed it, and Chen Ying could not ignore the life and death of the civil servants.

Now in the hot spring pool camp, there are less than 1,000 military, civilians and husbands. However, there are still only 200 craftsmen. Of course, the snow sledges will be damaged along the way. They need to be responsible for replacing the damaged snow sledges at any time to keep the snow sledges running normally.

"Meet General Chen!" When Lin Chuanfu arrived, he respectfully bowed to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying said: "Lin Jian does not need to be polite. I am asking you to create something!"

As he said that, Chen Ying drew out the skis he had vaguely remembered. The skis and ski poles were not technically difficult. Even if there was no alloy or plastic, it should be possible to do it under the existing conditions.

After Lin Chuanfu left with Chen Ying's drawings for about an hour, he brought the skis and ski poles to Chen Ying. Chen Ying looked at the snowboard. The skis were made of sled wood made of sleds, and the bottom was polished as smooth as a mirror. Lin Chuanfu was a little clever about the mechanism that clamped the shoes. He made a mechanism similar to a mouse clip. When the person stood on the snowboard, the mechanism began, and the clips made of steel on both sides would clamp the soles.

When the machine is turned off with a ski pole and the clamp will automatically release.

Chen Ying couldn't wait to put on a snowboard and slid in the camp regardless of the cold weather.

Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui were extremely surprised when they saw this.

"I'm just playing around. If I practice well, I can run faster than a horse with this thing!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Shigui, go and pick thirty brave soldiers, learn to ski quickly, and prepare to enter Lingzhou City!"

...

In Lingzhou City, Guo Zihe, the governor of Jinhe County and Lingzhou, stood on the city wall with a helpless look on his face. Guo Zihe is nearly 33 years old and is in his prime. However, from this point of view, Guo Zihe is still believed by someone to say that he is fifty years old. His face is covered with gullies, and his beard and eyebrows are as white as frost.

Since he was the King Yongle who was the thirty-six kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Guo Zihe had no ambition to win the world and was oppressed by Liang Shi, so he asked Li Yuan to surrender to Chang'an.

Li Yuan appointed him as the Duke of Jinhe County, Lingzhou and the General Manager of Lingzhou. However, as soon as he arrived in Lingzhou, the General Manager of Lingzhou had not yet been in heat, and the Liang army led his troops to the city of Lingzhou. Youdao was particularly jealous when the enemy met. Seeing that the Liang army arrived in person, Guo Zihe did not defend and counterattack, killing and attacking with his second brother Guo Zisheng, killing and injuring nearly a thousand people in the Liang army.
