No matter how clamorous the Dasheng soldiers were, King Ye and Lord Wu stood on the city wall calmly, and the soldiers were also orderly, calmer than the previous battle.

Nalan was a little surprised, and carefully narrowed his eyes to look at the city gate and the city wall.

Looking at it, he noticed something strange.

So where is the bamboo fence? It is clearly a thick ice wall made of the fence as a support, and it glows faintly cold under the sunlight.

In an instant, Nalan felt a bad premonition.

Taking a closer look, not only the collapsed city gates, but almost all the city walls were covered with a thick layer of ice, which looked as solid as gold.

Although it wasn't snowing, the wind was howling and the dripping water turned into ice.

After the fence was built, some ice cubes and bricks were thrown into the cracks, and hot water was poured on it, and after a while it was frozen into iron blocks, stronger than the city wall.

And if it is slippery or not, the ladder is not stable, and it is not conducive to siege.

"This method~ is quite brilliant. It seems that the Night King does have some brains." Nalan hooked his lips, "But so what? My Dasheng Kingdom's siege engine can't break through your mere ice block." wall?'
After muttering a word, Nalan waved his hand and ordered to attack the city.

Immediately, the sound of drums was loud, and Dasheng soldiers rushed down the mountain like a tide, pushing siege vehicles and catapults.

Nalan stood on the tall chariot with his hands behind his back, three dry white hairs flying like snow.

The ancient Shu Kingdom has a vast and rich territory, strong soldiers and strong horses, and has always been the most powerful existence in the Central Plains.

If he hadn't planned and emptied it for many years, he would not be able to swallow it anyway.

Now the ancient Shu Kingdom has long been a corrupt and empty framework, no matter how capable the Night King is, he will be like a cart.
Nalan Yihe was meditating with satisfaction when suddenly there was a loud crash in front of him, and several catapults that were more than ten feet high suddenly tilted and fell down, crushing a large group of soldiers to death.

Nalan was startled, and before he could ask what happened, more than a dozen slingshots fell down.

For a while, the team was in chaos, and the subordinates came to report.

"The emperor is not well. The road down the mountain is covered with thick ice, and the catapults and siege engines can't go down at all."

When Nalan heard it, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, so he hurriedly ran to the front to have a look.

From this point of view, it was like falling into an ice cellar.

The avenue down the mountain is really covered with thick ice, and people will slip and fall if they are not paying attention, let alone other siege equipment.

Most of the catapult fell down, and the siege vehicle was turned aside. Hundreds of soldiers were smashed to death and injured, and there was a lot of moaning.

This, before the siege of the city has begun, this situation has arisen, how can we fight this battle?
The Night King is really cunning!
At the moment on the city gate, Lord Wu looked at all this and looked at Wu Chongwen with admiration.

"His Highness Ye Wang's method is absolutely perfect."

In the past few days, the barracks went up and down, heating hot water day and night, casting ice walls, and pouring hot water on the road down the mountain every day, resulting in thick ice, hard and slippery.

With this move alone, more than a dozen catapults from Dasheng soldiers were brought down.

The catapult can't go down, let's see how they attack the city.

At this moment, Nalan's complexion also changed greatly.

It seems that he should not be too eager for success, and choose to send troops impatiently in winter.

You shouldn't underestimate the Night King, thinking that the disparity in strength can crush him.

This battle~ Do we want to fight? At this moment, Nalan is in a dilemma.

If they fought, if the ancient Shu soldiers guarded against death, they might not be able to break through the attack.

If there is no fight, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will need a lot of food and grass to be stationed here, and the donations from the aristocratic families in Pingyang County will definitely not be enough.It is also extremely troublesome to go far from the words of Dasheng Guoyun.

After weighing the pros and cons, Nalan Yinuo decided to withdraw his troops and postpone the siege.

Prince Wu also let out a long breath, wiping away his cold sweat, when he saw the Dasheng soldiers coming and leaving like a tide.

The retreat of Dasheng Kingdom's troops should not come in the whole winter. After all, the thick ice city wall is not so easy to break.

The ancient Shu kingdom is safe for the time being.

By the time this news reached Taohua Village, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had passed.

Xiao Ningxue is organizing a manpower, planning to go to Ningzhou to open up wasteland.

Knowing that Nalan retreated, everyone raised their arms and shouted.

But security is also temporary. Nalan is determined to unify the Central Plains, and will attack the city again in the first spring of next year.

Wu Chongwen told Xiao Ningxue in the letter that he would not sit still, and the good news for Xiao Ningxue to wait for him was.Xiao Ningxue naturally believed in him, believed that he was absolutely capable of protecting the ancient Shu Kingdom and the people he wanted to protect.

She just needs to do her own thing.

At this moment, she asked Wang Yonggui to call together the village chiefs and patriarchs of the three brother villages to hold a meeting on Shauguping.

When everyone heard that they were going to open up wasteland in Ningzhou, they were very confused.

"Ningzhou is full of wind and sand, can we grow crops?"

"I heard that there is more water shortage than in Suzhou, and it may be difficult to open up wasteland there."

There were also high spirits.

"Xue girl said that if you can go there, you will be able to go there, and you must listen to her."

"Yes, yes, Xue girl is a lucky star, she must have a way to find water and cultivate crops."

After some discussions, each household picked out one or two couples, planning to follow them to open up wasteland in Ningzhou.

The country people have many children in every household, and the water in the Baoshi River is limited, so it can only nourish such a small piece of land.

If another oasis can be found, no one will refuse it.

Therefore, these couples who are willing to follow to Ningzhou are all families with many brothers.

In addition, apart from Taohua Village, Merchant Village and Niujia Village, many people from other villages also had the intention to go to Ningzhou together, and they went to the State Shepherd's Mansion to ask Xiao Wenzhao.

Xiao Wenzhao naturally would not refuse, once he told Xiao Ningxue about the situation, Xiao Ningxue agreed.

They picked some people who were willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, and formed a team of about 1 people. On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, they set off in a mighty way.

Everyone drove an ox cart and a horse-drawn cart loaded with agricultural tools and food, and headed to Ningzhou with endless yearning.

It took more than ten days to travel from Su'an County to Ningzhou.

There were also people who backed down on the road, but Xiao Ningxue let them leave if their will was not firm.

Tell them to start all over again when they arrive at their destination, and re-experience the hardships they experienced in Ji'an City.

But in return for them, all the reclaimed land will be owned by them, and they will be exempted from taxes for five years.

Most people believed in Xiao Ningxue. After all, the example of Taohua Village was there, and only a small part of them left halfway.

After some investigation, Xiao Ningxue chose a place more than ten miles outside Xianning City for her final destination.

First of all, there is an underground river. Once the water of the underground river is blown out, it can feed a large area of ​​land.

As for the wind and sand, it needs long-term governance. There are many kinds of Salix Populus euphratica to fix the sand. As long as it is properly managed, this place will definitely become a vibrant oasis in the future.

This trip to Ningzhou, Xiao Ningxue brought Xue Ruyun and Xiao Yue, Xiao Zhenwang's grandson Xiao Zhengfang, Xiao Wenjie, Sai Yanxin, grandson of Sai Qiliang's grandson, everyone came.

With a team of more than 1 people, there are nearly 2000 people in Brother Village.

It is very difficult to build a village on a strange land without someone you trust.

If no one believes in you, you will be alone.

There are so many people of our own, others are willing to do it, and they are not willing to pack up and leave.I have a lot of people, so I have so much confidence!
After arriving at the destination, the first thing to do is to find the water source. As for the accommodation, it is directly to dig an earthen kiln, which is windproof, sandproof and warm. This is how we came along the way.

With the experience in Ji'an City, everyone quickly found the location of the underground river.

After several days of excavation, the sound of running water under the stone can be heard.

Luckily, there was lightning and thunder that night, and a heavy rain fell suddenly. Under the cover of the thunder, Xiao Ningxue threw down a few grenades, blowing out the underground river water.

The next morning, everyone got up early and saw that a clear river suddenly appeared in this barren land of flying sand and rocks. They were also very surprised.

It is said that Princess Ye is a lucky star, and she is indeed right.

Wherever she goes, there will be an oasis.

With the river, there is everything.

Building houses and reclaiming land, as long as you work hard, it is only a matter of time.

Of course, she has given full authority over the construction of the new village to the newly appointed village chief Xiao Zhengfang, and it is good to give them their own ideas.

In addition, when she has time, she enters the portable space to cultivate plants such as Populus salix and Populus euphratica, which can fix sand.

There was a river outside the city, and the entire city of Xianning was in a commotion. Merchants and common people in the city came to the river to fetch water and take a bath without fear of the cold.

How precious was the water before? A cartload of taels of silver was still cloudy and bitter, and my body was smeared after taking a shower.

Now that there is such a big river, can you not make people happy?
All of a sudden, everyone in the streets and alleys knew that Princess Ye was a lucky star. When Princess Ye came, the whole city of Xianning changed drastically. There was a river!
She is a lucky star who can bring good luck to the people all over the world. It is so lucky that Ningzhou can become the fief of His Royal Highness the Night King!
With her reputation, Xiao Ningxue mobilized everyone to plant salix and Populus euphratica, and told them that only by planting trees to fix sand can green water flow forever.

So every family in Xianning responded to Princess Ye's call and took the initiative to plant trees to fix the sand. Within a month, everywhere would be lush green.

During this period, I received a letter from Wu Chongwen, saying that he led the troops to start a counterattack and drove back the Dasheng soldiers for a hundred miles. Now even the south of Qiganling is under the control of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

In order to consolidate the line of defense, the city wall has already begun to be built on the side of Pingyang County.

I dare not think about regaining Pingyang County, but Qiganling has become stronger and stronger, and it may not be so easy to break it.At the beginning of March, when the news of the great war came, Nalan broke the boat and began to attack the city.

The battle lasted for seven days and nights, and the whole Qiganling was bloody, but just when Nalan Yiye was about to break the city, Xiao Yan and Xiao Han arrived with fifty thousand elite soldiers, repelled the Dacheng soldiers again, and Taking advantage of the victory to pursue and kill five generals of the enemy army.

As soon as Nalan lost his troops and generals, he retreated to Dingxi City.

In the end, only more than 60 of the 30 army were left, and the loss was nearly half.

Even Pingyang County lost nearly half of it. For a while, those aristocratic families in Dasheng Kingdom complained, and Nalan couldn't take care of himself for a while.

Attacking the ancient Shu Kingdom was a complete failure.
