Chapter 258: Bad weather

The corpses of Qin Jun were carried out from the shack. Without exception, they all died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

"Doctor, see what's going on." Meng Tian asked

"Report, General." A guard went out to investigate other camps and reported quickly.

"General, in other camps, a large number of soldiers died, and some soldiers suffered from headaches, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, some, some others." The guard said more and more.

"Say." Meng Tian said lightly.

"The skin is cherry red, breathing and pulse are quickened, some are unconscious, and some are unconscious." The guard said slowly.

"Doctor, hurry up and save those soldiers." Meng Tian collapsed.

"Hurry up and check all the shelters. All the intact soldiers immediately set up tents and can't sleep here." Meng Tian ordered loudly.

The Qin Army immediately began to conduct a thorough investigation of all the shacks. The number of non-combat casualties increased sharply within a day. But some other diseases are quietly becoming a hidden danger. If these people with carbon monoxide poisoning are treated in an unusually cold place, they are likely to develop pneumonia. And this. In ancient times when medicine was underdeveloped, it was not noticed at all.

The flu caused by pneumonia will soon spread to the entire Qin army camp. In addition, there are a lot of frostbite.

"General. The highway to Xianyang is covered by heavy snow and is temporarily impassable." A guard reported.

"Immediately organize people to go to dredge." Meng Tian ordered.

"Here," the guard replied.

Meng Tian felt very depressed. The snow is still falling. But the situation that Qin Jun faced was so bad. Meng Tian has a headache about this. Returning to his big account, he immediately listed it to King Qin.

Meng Tian felt that the problem was a bit serious, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, feeling that today's things were a bit strange. Many problems cannot be solved well. Thought of this. Meng Tian immediately gave Shangwen a copy of the book, who was also in Xianyang, and gave Shangwen a detailed description of what happened today.

"Come here." Meng Tian called out loudly.

"What's the general?" a guard said with a fist.

"These two bulletins must reach Xianyang as quickly as possible. They must be fast." Meng Tian said anxiously.

"Subordinates must be finished." The guard said firmly.

"Hurry up." Meng Tian said.

Said the guard turned and left. From Meng Tian's look, this guard has realized the seriousness of the matter. Without adding any clothes, Pegasus left the camp.

Qin Jun's situation is terrible. The situation of the Yue clan and the Huns is not much better.

But when small groups of troops began to frequently harass the Qin Army, the Qin Army responded severely every time. Especially bows and crossbows. The people of Yue had no chance to fight back at all. Yueshi gradually lost his patience. They sent a large-scale army to conduct a trial, but then they were broken up by an indescribable weapon. The loss of the army was not very serious, but the military spirit was extremely unstable. Said that Qin Jun invited the gods. The gods all helped Qin Jun.

The morale of the Yueshi suddenly declined a lot. Upon learning of this situation, the commander-in-chief Yue immediately stopped advancing eastward. Postpone the recovery of the Hu people's grassland. Instead, the army went south and attacked the Qin army with all strength.

However, things are so bad. The Yue Clan's Huns coalition forces gathered twenty-five elites on a large scale and happened to encounter a blizzard. The army was besieged by heavy snow. The Yue people and the Huns were not very prepared, and they all raised their troops in a hurry. The situation of material preparation is very bad. Even the elites freeze to death a lot.

The Huns’ wizards had a hunch for a long time, but the Huns hated the Qin people so much that they ignored them. The authority of the wizard has been suppressed by Shan Yu. The same lack of preparation and heavy losses.

A large number of cattle and sheep advancing with the army, as well as soldiers, were frozen to death. But the overall situation is much better than that of Qin Jun. After all, they live in the north all year round and can adapt to the northern climate.

But the worst situation lies in their logistics supplies. Although the grass in the pasture was burned in large quantities by the Qin army. But can it be burned out? Can't. But after it snowed, the situation was different.

The grass of the pasture is deeply buried under the thick snow. Horses need fodder, cattle and sheep need fodder. The severe situation also tested the coalition forces. The morale of the coalition forces began to slowly decline under the siege of heavy snow. Many soldiers believe that this kind of weather is not conducive to combat. Cangtian and Kunlun God cast a curse on the coalition forces.

In the face of the sudden blizzard, the two armies were severely hit without exception. It was Qin Jun who suffered a greater loss. Because they are far away from the homeland to fight. And the coalition side. Although the loss was smaller than Qin Jun. But there are serious logistical problems and morale problems.

Both sides are unable to fight the weather. The situation has entered a stalemate stage. The expansion of the coalition forces also stopped. The balance of war is temporarily balanced.

Just when the northern Qin army and the Yue Hu allied forces entered a stalemate of balance. Zhao Jun took the lead in breaking the balance between Yan and Zhao.

Zhao Jun received fifty artillery pieces from the Qin State. What Guo Kai bought was not just this number. In addition to the frontline, he also set up a large number of artillery companies and artillery battalions. These are the elite of Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun finally had his own artillery. Many officers and soldiers looked around around the artillery, and some even touched it boldly. Afterwards, many soldiers began to move forward and look around.

"His mother. There is finally this big guy. Now you can vent your anger." Soldier Zhao Jun said excitedly.

"Yes, fire a shot and hit those Yan Jun rabbit brats." said a Zhao Jun soldier waving his fist. This suddenly aroused the inner resentment of all Zhao Jun soldiers.

"Fire, fire. Fire." Zhao Jun's soldier shouted loudly, waving his arms. The sound far exceeds the sound of a cannon.

"Fire." A strong voice came. That was Li Mu's voice. When Li Mu saw the artillery, he was very excited. He dreamed of getting a weapon like Yan Jun. right now. Finally there is.

"Fire." Zhao Jun's soldier shouted loudly.

"Let it go." "Boom. Boom." The cannon roared deafeningly. This is the voice of all Zhao Jun.

"Swish." The cannonball screamed and hit the open space in front of the city wall, and the second shot was made up in time and hit the city wall. Zhao Jun's artillery firing skills are all novices. They just learned from a few Zhao Jun veterans. These veterans all learned from Qi Jun. Qi Jun learned from Qin Jun. It can be said to be passed on from generation to generation.

Zhao Jun’s artillery, who had been handed over several times, was able to get there all of a sudden. However, many artillery launch techniques are derived from actual combat. It is estimated that it will not take long. These gunners who are still inaccurate can become Zhao Jun's first-class artillery.
