Chapter 695: Spring in the Cold Winter

After snowing for several days, the weather finally cleared up, but the snow on the ground had not melted, and looking around, the fields were all white.

Zhu Gaoxu felt the cold wind on his face and felt that the snow might not melt throughout the winter.

Nearly ten days have passed since the central army decided to continue its advance northward, and it is now mid-October.

The Ming army had almost no effective military supplies within a radius of a thousand miles. The food reserves for the return journey were getting less and less, and the soldiers had to eat dead horses to save food. The weather was extremely cold, and water literally froze into ice at night, making life extremely difficult. The soldiers were exhausted, and they had already traveled about three thousand miles since they set out on the expedition!

However, Zhu Gaoxu often inspected the camps and believed that the Ming army still maintained considerable combat effectiveness and morale.
