Snow is falling.

The wind and snow are charming, and only white is left between the sky and the earth.

A long line was struggling to move silently through the wind and snow.

Directly in front of the team, a battalion flag with red letters on a black background was rolled and fluttered in the cold wind, hunting sounded, and the blood-red word "tiger teeth" was extremely hideous.

With the experience of attacking Huoqiu, Qin Yue wanted to follow the story of Li Yuxue's night entry into Caizhou and raid Gaocheng Sheng Tang.

However, I am not completely sure, after all, there are many recruits, and it is best to be able to make meritorious contributions, and if you can't make meritorious contributions, you should be armed for training.

This small half a month to scout a day without a break, early to the Tang County exploration of the clear clear, although the Tang Dynasty is prepared, but there is only a battalion of soldiers and horses, Wenshou Prefecture has not been down, the people are a little peaceful, the city defense has been relaxed.

With such accurate news, everyone had some confidence in their hearts, and after the plan was agreed, 300 people were left to assist Zeng Wu to guard Huoqiu, and the remaining 1,000 people were exhausted.

All the soldiers each carried three days of dry food, supplemented by dried meat and spirits, dressed in winter clothes, covered with oilcloth cloaks, and wore straw sandals on their feet, and braided straw gangs, even Qin Yue was no exception.

This grass gang is woven with straw, first a grass stem is horizontally arranged on the sole of the foot, and then vertically paved several ways, starting from the toe of the toe to be retracted, on the instep of the twist braid, until the calf is wrapped, and then the outer straw sandals, both warm and non-slip, walking snow road is stronger than cowhide boots.

This is the method of local farmers to protect their warmth, and after being discovered by Chen Scar, he moved it to the military.

And the horses of the cavalry were also draped in a thin cloth blanket, and the cavalry led the horses all way.

It was a hard march.

One hundred and seventy miles away, Qin Yue's request was to arrive in one day and one night, and immediately enter the battle. So the preparation was very sufficient, and the departure was also very early, the third watch made food, and the fourth watch set off.

The snow was heavy and there were hardly any pedestrians on the road.

There was no place to rest in the wind and snow, everyone could only grit their teeth and walk asceticly, until noon, Fang drank a mouthful of hot soup, but it was a small roadside village found by the vanguard troops, and the steel knife was intimidated and sealed with silver money, and the three armies had a chance to rest and warm their stomachs.

Wait until the horses are fed and continue on the road.

Jia Yin looked at the sky, estimated the distance, and said to Qin Yue: "If you go on like this, you can walk to the Tang Dynasty in the middle of the night." ”

Qin Yue shook his head and said: "I have strength in the morning, and I can't walk on my feet twice in the afternoon, and if we can walk at the end of the day, we will be thankful." ”

Sure enough, in the afternoon, after walking for less than an hour, the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and the pace of the march was obviously reduced.

Qin Yue had to order the heads of each capital to cheer each other up during the second break, and award the reward money that had been prepared earlier, which boosted morale again.

In these troubled times, golden copper coins can warm people's hearts more than anything else.

Jia Yin led the Yidu horse team to take the first step, and under the leadership of Tang Dong, prepared for the army's evening resting place.

The campsite chosen by Tang Dong is located on the north bank of the Wei River, about three miles away from the official road, nested in a low mountain, as long as there is one road at two intersections, the villagers will not be able to go out, and there is no need to worry about the news leaking.

Jiayin was very satisfied with the terrain, and immediately divided his troops to guard the intersection, and walked towards the village with Tang Dong Li Xing.

The villagers were frightened by the sudden horse team, and they were at a loss to know what to do, but when they saw that the young general who was beating the head was very polite, he hugged his fists and asked: "Don't panic, fathers, let's march here, temporarily borrow the treasure land to rest our strength, I don't know where the patriarch is?" ”

After a while, an old man with an old dragon bell stepped forward under the escort of the villagers, bowed down, and said: "I don't know if your army has arrived, and I have lost my welcome, but there is no food in the small village, and I am afraid it will be difficult to entertain well." ”

Jiayin handed over the reins of the horse to the guards, stepped forward alone, helped the old man, and said with a smile: "Don't panic the old man, we bring dry food, just borrow your village to rest, boil hot water to warm your stomach, if you can free up some houses for me to rest for a while, it would be better, oh, this is hard work." ”

Jia Yin made a move, Qi Sanduo immediately came over with a money bag and handed it to the patriarch, the patriarch was old, he could eat heavily, he couldn't lift it at all, and he almost fell to the ground, but the man on the side shot quickly, and held it, thinking that it was so heavy, there were at least two pieces of money.

The patriarch saw that Jiayin was kind, and he was generous, and he happily recited Amitabha.

When he heard that there was still a large army of nearly 1,000 people coming, he immediately ordered that all the families vacate their houses, take all the female dependents to his house, let the men make fires and boil water, carry grass and feed the horses, and began to greet the king politely.

Jia Yin saw that his arrangement was in good order, and thought that Jiang was still old and spicy.

The night was completely dark, and the vanguard troops had warmed up and eaten their fill, and the large army arrived exhausted.

As soon as they saw the red fire, everyone's eyes lit up, and one team after another entered the dwellings, and they couldn't take care of the food first, and they were busy removing the straw sandals and feet that had already been soaked, untying the ponchos, changing into the straw shoes and socks they carried, and baking them by the fire to warm up, and then taking a sip of spirits, the whole body was comfortable, and then they untied the bag of dry food, took out the flatbread and dried meat, and began to eat with hot vegetable soup and hot water.

The snow is still drifting and shows no signs of stopping.

Chen Scar and Qin Yue listened to Tang Dong's report while eating over the fire, "Twenty miles ahead, it is the Wei River, after crossing the river, three miles later, you will go to the Tang City, the outpost has probed back, the pontoon bridge on the Wei River is covered with snow and smooth, there is no footprint, and there is no one on duty on the other bank, thinking of such a big snow, they all hide and sleep." ”

"That's good, is the pontoon bridge reliable?"

"Reliable, egg-thick big iron cable, I'm afraid that the defenders on the other side will find out, and it will be troublesome if the winch is loosened."

Chen Scar nodded and said, "In this way, the soldiers can take a nap for an hour, pass the order, rest quickly, and set off at three o'clock." ”

"No."

"In addition, those on duty should pay attention and not let a villager leave."

"No."

The infantry could fall asleep when they were full, but the horse team was still busy without eating, wiping the horses, feeding the horses, and building curtains to cover the horses.

When everything was done, it was already the beginning of the hour, and there was no time to sleep, so I simply began to bake the fire, beat my feet and tie them, and began to make preparations.

The whisper of talking also sounded quietly.

"Hey, Fifth Uncle, you said that when you laid down Tang City, do we really have forty percent of the seizures?"

"There should be, didn't Huang Tou say it, his family relied on him to make money from the war, and he only entered this Huya camp for more than a year, the house is there, and the mother-in-law is also married, saying that some of the families of the forbidden army in Bianjing City are beautiful women, and they can be picked."

"Really?"

"It should be true, I heard that the court encourages marriage with the families of the forbidden army, and if you get married, you can still approve three homesteads outside Bianjing City."

"Why?"

"It's not that there are too many battles, and the widows and daughters can't support them, but the court can't leave them alone."

"The five uncles and we are also going to marry one, I heard that the women in the capital are all white, tender and fragrant......"

"Shhh

……

At three o'clock, the army set out again, and did not carry torches, but marched against the wind by the light of the snow.

An hour later, the black belt of the river was silently displayed in front of the army.

Chen Scarzi looked at the fat pontoon bridge that was covered by snow, and then looked at the flickering lights on the opposite bank, and ordered softly: "Qin Yue is responsible for pressing the formation, Jiayin, flower spear, and mountain leopard, you follow me to cross the bridge first, in case someone is on duty, you need to cut through the chaos quickly, and you must not show the wind." ”

"No."

Chen Scar gently removed the knife ring of the Nine Rings Pu Knife, and took the lead, and Jia Yin and the others quickly followed.

There is a trick to walk the pontoon, you need to apply force along the inertia, the four cats walk a few steps lightly on the waist, and after finding the feeling, they are flying around, and when they cross the bridge, the light shines through the window of the thatched house, and there is no one on the left and right outdoors.

Chen Scar breathed a sigh of relief, swung his head, Jia Yin and the spear rushed out, slammed the door open, and a few Zhengxiang guys who shrank down and slept went to see the king of Hades in a daze.

Chen Scar made a big move, and a team of Huya troops began to cross the river.

The city in the distance is in sight, and a great war is about to break out.
