The imperial concubine was spoiled by the prince again

Chapter 872 When something goes wrong, there must be a demon

Hearing the scout's report, the three of them straightened their expressions at the same time: "The whole army is on alert!"

The temperature in the barbarian territory dropped sharply, and the soldiers all added layers of cotton coats inside their armor.

The cotton coat should not be too thick, otherwise it will affect the movement and the armor will not fit in.

It was freezing cold, and after encountering a snowstorm, everyone's noses turned red.

Immediately after hearing the order, everyone's first reaction was not to draw their knives, but to take out a bag full of red dry powder from their pockets, and stuffed themselves with snow water.

The limbs that became stiff in the severe cold began to flow into the warm current, and the soldiers slowed down and sent out the first batch of small teams.

It was not the first time for some of them to come to the barbarian's frigid environment, but they couldn't get warm before, and they felt like they were going to freeze to death halfway, and they even had to hold their breath when they lifted their swords, all relying on their willpower.

Needless to say, the chili powder that the side concubine found is very convenient, it doesn't take up much space and doesn't weigh too much, a small sip can keep you warm for a long time, and it doesn't affect your sanity like strong alcohol.

After hearing the human voice, they moved their hands and feet, waiting carefully for the military order.

According to the report from the front scouts, there was a barbarian team 500 meters away, about a hundred people, who looked like patrolling soldiers.

In order not to startle the enemy, they need to get rid of all these people in the shortest possible time.

Seeing the timing, the assault team rushed out from the hiding place. The barbarian didn't expect this change, and was caught off guard, and had no chance to send out a signal.

Great Xia's first battle was successful, the soldiers were not arrogant or impetuous to clean up the traces, and another group of people were selected to investigate around.

Xiao Yunchen's face was filled with the joy of victory, the child was careless and kept praising the sharp weapon he just got.

Huo Jinhe frowned and exchanged glances with Xiao Yunzhi, who looked at the corpse on the ground and said the question they both had in common: "It's too simple."

Did they come too suddenly, or did the barbarians underestimate the enemy too much?
With such doubts, everyone continued to go deeper.

Then they found that the road was desolate, and there were starvation everywhere.

Although they have never been here before, the situation of the barbarians is completely different from what is recorded in the history books.

According to the records left by the ministers who came here decades ago, the barbarians are located in the desert, the climate is cold, and the land is barren, so most of the barbarians make a living by grazing.

But they didn't see any cattle or sheep along the way.

They thought it was because of the climate that the cattle, sheep and horses could not be let out to be exposed to the cold, but when they entered several villages, they found that not only were there no people in the villages, there were no traces of life, and there were no poultry and livestock in the livestock sheds. signs.

According to the degree of decay of the house, they can roughly judge that no one has lived here for at least half a year.

The desolation of the barbarians far exceeded their expectations.

Xiao Yunchen didn't have any thoughts this day, he just lamented that there was no one in the village and it was impossible to replenish food, but the expressions of the other two became more serious.

Xiao Yunchen who realized something was wrong asked strangely.

"Brother, Brother Huo, why don't you seem very happy?"

Isn't it a good thing that the journey went smoothly without encountering obstacles?

The eyes of Huo Jinhe and Xiao Yunzhi showed helplessness at the same time.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."

The more desolate and dilapidated the barbarians, the more it shows that the opponent in the dark will be more difficult than they imagined.

Xiao Yunchen thought hard for a long time and was still confused.

The two could only sigh: "Forget it, just remember to be on guard at all times."

After going deep into the barbarians, the road surface was buried by heavy snow, and even the scouts who explored the road couldn't speed up.

They need to use long wooden sticks to determine the way forward before they can move forward, otherwise they may fall into a deep pit covered by heavy snow if they are not careful.
