Chapter 196 – Shangdang Taken
October 19th.
The march to Jinyang was slow and arduous. They had to trek through valleys, mountain paths, and forest on the mountains. Moreover, the weather was torturing the soldiers. The cold temperature of 0 degrees Celsius and the raining snow hampered the speed of the march.
Contrary to the freezing weather, forest games that Lu Zhi had tricked Liu Ping could be found as they had proceeded further. Wild wolves and bears roamed around these mountains at this time, searching for preys. This month was like the last chance for these animals to stock up food before December when snowstorm or blizzard was frequent in these areas.
To the wolves, a large army of Liu Ping did not intimidate them. Instead, they saw it as a large pack of preys that could be hunted as food. Several large groups of wolves stalked the trail of the troops, waiting for the stragglers to isolate themselves.
