Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 304 Avalanche!

Half a day later.

Tublai Khan led his 40,000 troops and had no danger along the way.

Finally, we arrived at the Land of Divine Punishment, only ten kilometers away from the exit.

Thinking of the high priest's previous instructions, Tublai Khan slowed down his pace immediately and sent out a team of 100 people just to search for news from the front.

After half an hour, the hundred-man team finally returned.

"Your Highness, we have spotted quite a few enemy troops at the exit of the Land of Divine Punishment!"

"Without any prior warning, the enemy has already discovered our tracks and is now engaged in a fierce battle!"

"How many people are there on the other side!" Upon hearing this news, Tublai's brows immediately furrowed, his heart was in his throat, and he asked the first question.

Fortunately, his subordinates responded, which made him feel relieved: "Your Highness only has a hundred men!"

"We are both equally numerous and are currently locked in a fierce battle. I have already informed the others not to let anyone escape, lest they be summoned!"

Tublai Khan let out a long sigh, then raised his eyebrows, turned around and yelled.

"Everyone, listen to my command and follow me to fight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the adjutant beside him frowned and spoke out in objection.

"Your Highness, logically speaking, the exit of this Land of Divine Punishment should be deserted. Now the enemy has strangely appeared here. I suspect there might be a trick!"

"Should we wait a while and send more troops to investigate the situation before making any decisions?"

Faced with such a suggestion, Tublai Khan remained extremely calm. He waved his hand and responded immediately.

"What else is there to see?"

"According to the information I received earlier, Song Yuan sent people to build a hiding place nearby. It is reasonable for enemies to appear here!"

"After all, they captured quite a few of our slaves before, so it makes sense that they found them while searching around!"

"Didn't you hear just now? Our people have already encountered the enemy. If we let one escape, once we inform Song Yuan, the enemy will be on guard and our whereabouts will be exposed. Then we may not be able to achieve our goal!"

At the end of his speech, Tublai Khan did not give his adjutant a chance to respond. He waved his hand and spoke again.

"Everyone follow me, let's charge together!"

At the end of his words, Tublai Khan pulled the reins of his horse and rushed to the front.

Fortunately, he still took his identity into consideration. When he was about to reach the exit, he slowly stopped and let the army behind him pass by him.

Tu Bilie didn't expect that such rationality would save his life in the end.

In his sight, he saw that just as the vanguard was about to rush across the valley, a sudden change occurred with a loud bang.

"Boom!"

Without any warning, a thunder seemed to be heard above everyone's heads.

The team that was charging forward stopped in an instant, and in that instant everyone's mind began to recall the various legends about the Land of Divine Punishment.

Just thinking about the miserable state of the unfortunate people who died here before, everyone's face turned pale, and the same thought popped up in their minds.

Could it be that this place of divine punishment is showing its divine power again?

Could this sound now be thunder from the sky?

Everyone was trembling, fearing that God would punish them at this moment.

Rumble…

Just as everyone was feeling anxious, there were several loud noises.

At the same time, changes finally occurred on the hillside.

The snow that had been piled up together was now sliding down the mountain.

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Tu Bilie's face suddenly darkened and his heart skipped a beat!

This is an avalanche!

Damn!

Why did the avalanche come?

Now everyone is in a valley with narrow roads. At this juncture, the cavalry's proud speed is inevitably affected.

Once the snow above our heads falls, it will bury everyone in the snow in the shortest time possible.

Even if it is myself, I am afraid there is no way to escape!

No, we can't just sit there and wait for death!

In just a moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Tublai's mind. He reacted in just a few seconds and roared angrily.

"Charge, everyone, charge with me, rush out!"

When the deputy general heard Tublai Khan's reaction, his face turned pale and he was filled with despair.

冲？

How can these people rush out?

It’s over, it’s all over now!

I'm afraid that even if someone survives in the end, they won't be able to complete the previous mission!

You know, there are a total of 40,000 troops in the valley now!

If the vanguard cannot receive orders in a short time, it will take a lot of time even if the cavalry starts charging.

The snow above our heads has now begun to fall. How long will it take for everyone to survive?

Even if they could break out in the end, how could they fulfill the high priest's instructions with the help of those survivors?

How to capture the border areas?

Not only that!

Once this avalanche falls, it will be equivalent to completely blocking everyone's retreat. Unable to return to the barbarian land, the remaining people will probably freeze to death or starve to death even if they run out of the valley.

Unable to capture the city, how would they cope with the rest of the time with the dry food they brought with them?

But at this moment, Tublai Khan was already in a state of panic, so how could he care about anything else?

He pulled the reins and immediately shouted around.

"Charge! Everyone, follow me!"

It’s just a pity that the thunderous sound completely drowned out Tublaik’s shouts.

Coupled with the panic in everyone's hearts, the 40,000 soldiers were in complete chaos at this moment.

Many cavalrymen crowded together, and the fear in their hearts completely surged into their hearts at this moment.

Looking at the snow rolling down from above their heads, these barbarians completely lost their previous courage and had long forgotten their mission as soldiers.

And all of this stems from the awe of nature and the superstition of the land of divine punishment!

"It's over, it's definitely over now. The Land of Divine Punishment has descended upon us, and we're all going to die here!"

"I don't want to die. I want to get out alive. Who can save me? Who can save me?"

"I've said it long ago, the majesty of the Land of Divine Punishment cannot be offended. Now it's finally proven. It's a pity that all of us will be buried here!"

"This is divine punishment. No one can escape..."

Many people were in despair and completely forgot to struggle, which helped them to block the advance of the people behind them.

The collision and squeezing between the two groups made the already chaotic situation suddenly escalate to several levels.

For a moment, the 40,000 soldiers were in complete chaos. They could only watch the snow falling and wait quietly for death to come.

"Why, why? Why does God punish me like this?"

In the crowd, Tublai Khan looked at the falling snow in front of him with a look of despair and let out a final roar.

The next second, everything went dark, and he and everyone around him were completely buried in the snow.

No matter how powerful the 40,000 troops are, they are ultimately unable to withstand the might of nature!

……

Late at night, in Zhenbei City.

As the news came, General Wei, who had fallen into a deep sleep, trembled and suddenly stood up.

The source of this news was Guo Ding from Sunan.

According to the other party, Guo Ding accidentally captured a barbarian spy.

After many rounds of interrogation, a shocking secret was revealed!

The barbarians secretly deployed their forces, without anyone else knowing, and marched deep into the land of divine punishment, preparing to cross it and directly attack Song Yuan's rear!

Upon learning the news, Guo Ding rushed to Mohai City as soon as possible, hoping to inform Song Yuan of the news.

At the same time, he did not forget to send someone to message General Wei.

Just so that General Wei could lend a helping hand and send his men to support.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? Those barbarians are even more superstitious about the Land of Divine Punishment than the Great Qin!"

"Have they lost their minds? Otherwise, how could they dare to set their sights on the Divine Land?"

After hearing the news, General Wei had an expression of disbelief on his face. He could not believe it no matter what.

Are those barbarians crazy?

Don’t they know the legends of the Land of God’s Punishment?

Are they willing to go against God and fight to the death with the Qin Dynasty?

Aren’t those barbarians afraid of being killed in the land of divine punishment?

If we lose our best soldiers and generals there, how can we fight to the end?

Although countless thoughts came to his mind, General Wei was still a little panicked because he really didn't dare to gamble.

Once the barbarians really succeed in crossing the land of divine punishment and occupy the two major cities of Piaoxue and Mohai, I'm afraid everything will be over!

Thinking of this, General Wei clenched his fists tightly. When he was about to give an order, he heard a voice suddenly coming from outside the tent.

"General Wei, the prince has sent me a message. He has already heard the news from General Guo Ding and will immediately lead his men to the outskirts of the Divine Punishment Land to provide support!"

"According to the prince's judgment, the barbarians who broke through the Divine Punishment Land this time are most likely the 40,000-strong army that previously assembled on the other side of the Peacock River!"

"The prince has said that General Wei should lead his troops to support us immediately. Otherwise, if the barbarians break through, I'm afraid the entire left wing will be lost!"

forty thousand?

How could there be so many people?

Upon hearing this number, General Wei's pupils shrank and he couldn't help feeling panicked.

How could the barbarians possibly invest such a large number?

Are they preparing to start a war early and completely throw everything into it?

If these people really broke into the border, let alone the two cities, let alone the left wing.

I'm afraid the entire border area may not be able to be preserved!

At that time, they will set up a camp, advance step by step, and use it as a stronghold to spread out in all directions.

In addition, with the large army gathering as support, I am afraid that the entire Zhenbei Army will have to retreat to Zhenbei Pass. Only in this way can they defend themselves.

At this moment, many generals have gathered in the camp with news coming one after another.

After hearing this, everyone felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

Before General Wei could make up his mind, the generals around him had already spoken up and made a proposal.

"General, don't hesitate. Order the troops to support you immediately!"

"That's right, General. Now that we've come this far, there's no need to wait any longer!"

"General, I am willing to lead the troops to stop the barbarians and halt their advance!"

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Faced with the panic of the crowd, General Wei waved his hand immediately and then looked at the messenger army in front of him.

"No, logically speaking, Guo Ding just informed us of the news. The prince should have learned about the barbarians after Guo Ding, but why did you come so quickly?"

"General Wei may not know this, but the prince knows that this matter is of great importance, so he gave me the BMW he was riding on."

"This horse was once the high priest's mount, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day. So, it's naturally much faster than usual!"

The messenger responded immediately and then urged: "Your Highness, speed is of the essence in war. The barbarians may have already entered the land of divine punishment. If we don't send troops to support them, it will be too late!"

"Don't worry about this matter. You've been traveling all the way, go down and have a good rest first!"

Faced with such a proposal, General Wei did not respond immediately. Instead, he waved his hand and gave orders to the people around him.

The messenger sent by Song Yuan frowned slightly when faced with such an arrangement.

Before he could say anything else, General Wei suddenly shouted, "Didn't you hear me tell you to go down and rest?"

Finally, the messenger left the tent with some helplessness under the guidance of others.

As soon as this person left, the surrounding generals immediately surrounded him.

"General Wei, what are you still hesitating about? Why haven't you sent troops to support us?"

"That's right, General. This matter involves a lot of serious consequences. We can't just stand by and watch, right?"

"I know everything you said, but I only have one question for you!"

Facing the anxious gazes of the crowd, General Wei's face was as gloomy as if water could drip out of it.

There was an inexplicable heaviness in his tone.

"Think carefully about how much time has passed since this news was sent out!"

"Given the distance between our Zhenbei City and the Land of Divine Punishment, is it too late to send reinforcements now?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, with despair clearly in their eyes.

That’s right, I’m afraid it’s really too late!

Zhenbei City is at least hundreds of miles away from the land of divine punishment, even if the army is dispatched here as soon as possible.

This will take at least half a day!

However, the barbarians came too suddenly this time. By the time the reinforcements arrived at the scene, they would have probably already broken through the blockade of the army, and there was even a high probability that they had successfully occupied the city.

Seeing that everyone finally realized the reality, General Wei continued to speak.

"The only thing we can do now is to try to avoid losses. Instead of heading to the Land of Divine Punishment for support, we might as well make a final plan!"

"Let's send troops directly to Sunan and build a line of defense there!"

"Only in this way can we minimize the influence of the barbarians. As long as they don't cross Sunan, we still have a place on this frontier. Otherwise, everything is over!"

Yes, that’s how it should be arranged!

As soon as General Wei said this, everyone nodded in agreement.

It’s really that Sunan’s geographical location is too harsh.

As the junction of the left and right wings, once the barbarians cross it, it is equivalent to occupying most of the border.

If we can really build a line of defense in Sunan, we can at least stop the barbarians and minimize the losses!
