Chapter 184: Hu Qi

After entering December, the weather in Guanzhong became colder, and there were few suns in the sky and more snowflakes. Under such circumstances, all parts of the world seem to have begun to become peaceful, whether it is the Murong Clan, the Jiangzuo Jin Court, or even other places.

Li Xin first arrived at Dazhenguan, where he comforted the defending soldiers, then returned to Kuaicheng, and then went to Longguan where Zhou Tong was located through Longguan Road from Yongxian County.

Because it has already snowed heavily on Longshan, the northbound road from Dazhenguan to Longguan is very deep and very dangerous. So, I had to go back first.

Speaking of which, since Zhou Tong was stationed in Longguan, Li Xin hadn't seen him. See you again after half a year, and there is a lot of emotion at this time.

"Have you ever complained to me about putting you in this barren mountain and wild place?" Standing on the Longguan Guancheng, looking at the surrounding area covered in silver, Li Xin couldn't help but joke.

"Where the words! Although it is a little remote here, it is not far from Guanzhong! Besides, so many brothers accompany me, what's so bad! Zhou Tong scratched his head and replied.

"I'm relieved that this line of defense is in your hands. You have all worked hard, but for the sake of our Huashan Army, such hard work is also worth it. Li Erhei is better than you, but he is a little less concerned than you. I haven't been back for so long, have you ever missed your father and sister? ”

"I don't want to, that's a lie! Although it has only been half a year since we were separated, our family has never been separated in the past! So, when I'm free, I really miss them! It's not just me, it's some of my brothers at the bottom! This is especially true when the year is approaching! However, everyone understands the heavy responsibilities on their bodies, so no one has a second word! Zhou Tong was silent for a moment before he said.

"I understand, next year! If I see if it's possible, I'll start rotating the garrisons from all over the place, especially the defenders in the backcountry. In this way, it is also possible for soldiers from all over the country to go home for a reunion. The best thing is that those young people can become a family, so I can be regarded as having an explanation for you! Li Xin nodded and patted him on the shoulder.

In Longguan, he stayed for a day, and then rushed back to Guanzhong, and then went along the straight road to inspect the first line of Shimen Pass. This line of defense is relatively much better, because there is a straight road, and the west is Tan Binh County, of course, the danger is much smaller.

He didn't stop until he was at the Fuyuan Pass. There are now 800 soldiers stationed there to guard it, which is now the northernmost garrison under the rule of the Huashan Army. The soldiers were very excited about Li Xin's arrival!

After all, as the supreme leader of the Huashan Army, being able to visit them in this icy and snowy season undoubtedly made them feel that Li Xin valued them.

"What's going on in the area around Beiluoshui?" Gathered around the fire, Li Xin asked the lieutenant beside him.

"Last month, Captain Peng personally led people over, accompanied by a thousand soldiers and horses, and after a short stay here, he immediately rushed to the east of Xiangluo County. After gathering the 1,000 soldiers and horses there and completing the arrangement, he hurried back to Xia Yang with his own soldiers and horses. Judging from the news in the past few days, traces of horse bandits have been found in the east, and it is obvious that they should have been forced north by Captain Peng! ”

"Heavy snow covers the mountain, this is not a good sign, the army has been dispatched for more than ten days now, and if you think about it, the results should be coming soon. Once the weather is getting colder and colder, and the snow continues, it will not be easy to eliminate these horse bandits! Hearing the news, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes! Fortunately, the same is true for horse bandits, who lack food and clothing in the mountains, and when they are frightened by the cold, they must be like frightened birds. At this time, there were 2,000 troops in the north blocking their retreat to the north, guarding the gates here in the west, and the 2,000 cavalry of Captain Peng in the south were also constantly pursuing. Come to think of it, it should be a day or two to solve them! The lieutenant replied.

"I'll be informed if there's news, I'll be here for the next two days!" Li Xin thought for a moment and explained.

"Yes, the last general will send someone to investigate immediately!"

While waiting, Li Xin led people out of Fuyuan Pass and looked north along the straight road. The most obvious feeling along the way is that the temperature is significantly lower than that in Guanzhong. Moreover, the sky was almost overcast, with large snowflakes falling non-stop, and the ground was a snow-white color.

Slowly moving forward with fifty personal soldiers, Li Xin couldn't help but feel emotional.

The place where he is located is the famous land of northern Shaanxi in later generations, the Loess Plateau. When people in later generations mention this place, they are afraid that a piece of loess flying dust will appear in their minds, and the earthy yellow surface, between the ravines, hides a hole in the cave.

But now, soil erosion isn't as bad as it is now. Therefore, if you look around from a high place, you can still see a lot of green in front of you that is not covered by snow.

"When will this place be able to return to China? Looks like I'm going to have to do my best! Wouldn't it be a pity that such mountains and rivers have become a place for Hu people to run horses! After watching it for a while, Li Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"General, there seems to be some movement over there!" Just as he was sighing, the pro-soldier beside him suddenly shouted softly.

Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, pressed one hand on the handle of the knife, and looked into the distance. At this time, I only saw a white expanse in the distance, and I couldn't see it clearly at all.

But soon, he noticed something out of the ordinary. Because in the distance, suddenly a few black dots appeared, and they were constantly moving towards their side. Moreover, this speed is quite fast, and it didn't take long for a few black dots to become dozens, and it seemed that there were more and more.

"It's not good, it's Hu Ren!" A pro-soldier had sharp eyes, and after looking at it for a while, he immediately discovered the identity of the person who came.

To the north of Fuyuan Pass, that vast area has fallen into the hands of the Hu people for many years. Therefore, it is not surprising that the figure of the Hu cavalry is found here.

"Prepare for battle!" Li Xin said in a deep voice and slowly pulled out the knife on his waist.

Everyone hurriedly prepared for battle, spread out their formation, and prepared to meet the enemy. It didn't take long for the sound of horses' hooves to be heard in the distance. The group of people should have also spotted them, so they quickly rushed over to this side.

The two sides had just approached, and the other party had already drawn their bows and released arrows. I have to say that this Hu people's riding and archery skills are indeed powerful, and at this time, the war horse can still release such powerful and high-precision arrows between high-speed movements.

Seeing this scene, Li Xin couldn't help but sink his face. Fighting with the other party is not his strong point, the other party has about sixty or seventy people, and in terms of numbers, it is more than his own side. At this time, the other party had already spread out in formation like goose wings, outflanking him.

"General, do we want to withdraw? At the same time, send someone to Fuyuan Pass to ask for support? Liuzi asked from the side.

"If you withdraw, the other party will inevitably take the opportunity to chase and kill. I'm afraid we won't be able to outrun them, so we're afraid of more damage. Fuyuan Pass is too far away from here, and it is basically a foot pawn, and if they rush over, I am afraid that we will have to collect the corpses! Li Xin thought for a moment and categorically rejected the proposal.

"So what do we do?"

"The only way to do this is to fight back. When the other party sees us taking the initiative, they will inevitably suspect that we have backup, and even think that we are bait, and there are other ambushes around. Flying General Li Guang, have you heard of it? Although my Li Xin is not as good as his archery, he is also surnamed Li, so he can be regarded as a family. Today, I will take you to learn from the flying general Li Guang! Li Xin looked at the approaching Hu people, looked back and said to the soldiers behind him.

General Fei Li Guang was a person from the Western Han Dynasty, and it has only been two or three hundred years since then. His deeds, especially those close to the Northland, are no stranger. Not to mention these pro-soldiers, they have also heard a lot of stories told by Li Xin.

"General, you can take us and kill us! Let these guys see how powerful our Huashan Army is! These soldiers were all young and strong young men, and when they heard this, they only felt their blood boiling, and the little fear of the enemy was suddenly swept away.

"Okay, then let's kill it! Remember, don't compare arrows with them, the knives in our hands are not vegetarian, rush over quickly and deal with them quickly! This is what Li Xin wanted, and at this time the morale was high, and after explaining it, he rode his horse forward, and soon rushed towards the enemy.

The Hu people on the opposite side were thinking that they were going to capture some captives as slaves this time, when they suddenly found that the Jin people on the opposite side were actually rushing towards them and others, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. By the time they reacted, Li Xin had already led people to kill in front of them, and the Hu cavalry at this time was still in a state of dispersion.

"Kill!" Li Xin shouted angrily, and when the two horses were staggered, the war knife in his hand slashed diagonally through the neck of a Hu cavalryman, and then without looking at it, he immediately rushed to the next one.

These Hu cavalry quickly reacted, shouting and shouting incomprehensible words, brandishing weapons and killing, and the two sides were already fighting together in the blink of an eye.

After such a long time of training, Li Xin's combat power has been greatly improved, and now he can be said to be proficient in archery and horses, although it cannot be said to be proficient. But at this moment, in the face of these Hu Qi, it was still more than enough, and the war horses clashed back and forth in it, and in the blink of an eye, several people were killed.
