Chapter 249

Early in the morning, Lin Feng had just woken up from his dream when he heard a "susu" sound outside the house.

"Zhiya~"

After Lin Feng got up and pushed open the door to look, he discovered that it had snowed outside, and the snow was not small.

"This God finally decided to give face and snow!"

At the same time, Lao Quezi also came to the courtyard full of emotion, looking at the snowflakes drifting down from the sky.

"Woof! Woof!"

The sturdy Wangcai ran wildly in the snow. It looked like it was extremely excited because of the snow.

Seeing Lin Feng come out, Wangcai ran to his side with a "swish", its tail wagging like a windmill. This fellow looked excited to the extreme.

"Kid, you're finally up. It's snowing heavily today, a good omen! A good omen! There won't be a water shortage when spring comes next year!"

Seeing Lin Feng come out, Lao Quezi couldn't help but say this to Lin Feng. His excited old face looked like a chrysanthemum.

"Hmm, indeed, a timely snow promises a good harvest!"

Lin Feng looked at the snow-white scene around and couldn't help but nod in agreement. This year, there were droughts everywhere, and he really didn't know how many people had starved to death and how many crops had died of drought.

If the weather could be favorable next year, it would at least give the struggling common people a way to live.

"Woof-woof!"

Seeing that Lin Feng didn't pay attention to him, Wangcai started barking again. This fellow was also becoming more and more able to act like a spoiled child now.

"This dog of yours is growing more and more fierce. Sometimes I feel a bit hairy in my heart when I look at it. Could Wangcai really be some kind of divine beast or strange species like Old Qingtou said?"

"If it's really like this, it can't be casually taken for breeding. I heard from the storytelling gentlemen that this kind of dog is a good thing. I don't know how many officials and wealthy families want to raise one!"

Seeing Wangcai's action, Lao Quezi couldn't help but mutter to Lin Feng. He naturally saw Wangcai's changes, but he couldn't understand what was going on at all.

On the contrary, other people in the graveyard who had heard strange stories or myths and legends liked to attribute this phenomenon to some divine beast, fierce beast, or strange species...

After all, in legends, things like the Huodou looked almost the same as a black dog...

——————

In Yunzhou, tens of thousands of Barbarian wolf cavalry began to set off in all directions.

Among them, Fenglei Mountain, which was like a nail in Yunzhou, was naturally their primary target.

So a Barbarian army composed of three thousand wolf cavalry rushed directly toward Fenglei Mountain under the leadership of several tribal shamans.

"Boom-boom-boom~"

These wolf cavalry came and went like the wind, powerful as thunder. Once they formed a joint force, it would require a sturdy pass or city wall to block such terrifying cavalry.

On the wall of Fenglei Mountain, a large number of soldiers and troops were busy at this time.

Now Yunzhou was freezing cold, with heavy snow flying. It shouldn't be a good time to lead troops to fight.

But those Barbarians didn't care about these things; they only knew how to kill and rob all the enemies in front of them!

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Move aside, all move aside, swish~"

"Be careful, don't let it get on your body!"

"..."

At this time, the soldiers here were pouring a large amount of ice water mixed with Gui blood to build the city wall according to the command.

At the same time, sharp spears, short blades, spikes, and other things were buried in this ice city wall. In less than half a day, a sturdy, tall, and stable city wall was completed.

This method was originally a means for border troops to strengthen the border defense line in previous years, but now it could only be used here.

"General, all positions have been built!"

Soon, a Xiaowei came to the border general to report the situation.

"Move out all the talisman arrows and crossbows prepared during this period. Don't save them next; use as many as you have!"

Hearing the subordinate's report, the general's expression didn't change, and he directly gave this order.

"Yes!"

Hearing the general's order, the Xiaowei agreed immediately. Although he didn't know the intention of the general's order, they had long had no way out. The only way to live next was to kill the invading enemy cleanly!

"Hu~ hu~"

Standing on the reinforced city wall, the general looked at the snowy mountain range in the distance against the biting cold wind in the north and remained silent.

To be honest, even now, he still didn't dare to be sure whether that mysterious corpse-collector would take action at the critical moment of crisis.

So he never dared to place all his hopes on the other party. Facing the menacing Barbarian army, the only thing he could do now was to hold the weapon in his hand and fight to the death.

"Awoo~"

Suddenly, a melodious wolf howl came from the mountains, and then several black dots in the mountains in the distance ran quickly toward Fenglei Mountain.

Seeing this scene, the general immediately understood that the Barbarian army had arrived, so he directly raised his hand slightly and ordered the guards beside him: "Prepare to beat the drums!"

"Yes!"

Soon, a large drum painted with a ferocious ghost pattern was carried out by several soldiers wearing Gui soldier armor.

After taking the drumstick handed over by the guard beside him, the border general directly smashed it fiercely against the drum.

"Peng~ dong!"

"Dong~ dong~ dong~"

Immediately, the deafening drum sound resounded through the entire Fenglei Mountain. Every time this drum sound rang, it seemed to fall on people's hearts, giving people an indescribable sense of excitement.

After hearing this drum sound, the soldiers who were still resting, moving supplies, or patrolling quickly took all their weapons and climbed the city wall to prepare for battle.

At the same time, other people in Fenglei Mountain also understood that the war was coming again after hearing the drum sound!

In the mountain market, a large number of common people turned back to their shacks or houses one after another. True Person Zhou of the Taoist temple at the top of Fenglei Mountain opened his eyes and looked into the distance through the eaves.

"Master, are those barbarians here again?"

On the mountainside, Stone Dog Egg and others also heard the special drum sound, but they were not very worried about those Barbarians.

"Crack-crack-crack"

The corpse-collecting Zhiren looked at the nearly ten apprentices in front of him and nodded slowly, then signaled them to continue practicing martial arts.

War was never something that could be solved in a few moves, and there was no need for it to take action at the beginning at all.

"Oh!"

Seeing the corpse-collecting Zhiren's reaction, these apprentices could only honestly start to stand on stakes and practice kung fu, but the drum sound that kept ringing in their ears made them a bit restless.

"Boom-boom-boom~"

Outside Fenglei Mountain, the Barbarian Gui bone wolf cavalry had already charged to the front. As they approached, one after another special bone arrows were shot toward the wall.

"Swish-swish-swish!"

"Defend!"

Facing these arrows, the border general waved his hand directly, and then rows of soldiers holding heavy shields stood at the very front.

"Peng-peng-peng! Dong!"

Then the muffled sound of arrows hitting the heavy shields sounded like raindrops hitting.

"Prepare! Fire! Fire!"

However, the other soldiers behind them stepped forward.

"Swish-swish-swish!"

"Swish-swish-swish~"

A large number of talisman arrows were instantly fired through the long-prepared crossbows, and instantly, a large area of wolf cavalry charging at the front fell to the ground.
