Chapter 170 Speechless Lin Xiuming_1

Although Lin Xiuming was young, he had led troops in quite a few battles. He rarely waged war in winter, but he had some understanding of the battlefield conditions in rainy weather.

In front of him, the numerous wagon ruts and horse prints, albeit covered by heavy snow, allowed him to approximate the number of people based on the footprints.

Given the repeated trampling in the snow, it was clear that a large number of people had passed through here.

Most of the footprints in the middle were from humans, while those on the sides were from horse hooves, indicating a cavalry unit had been transporting something.

To be precise, it wasn't something being transported, but given the multitude of footprints, it seemed they were escorting people.

At that moment, a soldier beside Lin Xiuming said, "General, look at the black rock fragments in the snow. If I am not mistaken, this should be coal slag."
