Sentences like "Yanshan snowflakes are as big as a seat" are naturally the brain-opening work of a poet in later generations, and they are exaggerated a bit excessively. If Yuan Zhao recites such verses in front of him now, it is estimated that he will be the first to be shocked by the veteran Li Guang. The soldiers were already in cold armor in this light snowy weather, and they were still "as big as a seat"? Wouldn't everything be buried alive!

It's no wonder that Li Guang is so annoyed, the Huns don't know what crazy they are this time, since the launch of the winter offensive, they have been entangled and unstoppable. On the thousand-mile northern frontier defense line from Yunzhong to Yuyang, round after round of attacks were launched everywhere, which was unguardable.

In just over half a month, the border counties suffered heavy losses, and under the invasion of the Hun cavalry, they would always receive reports of casualties from the people in Tunzhen every day, which made Li Guang, who was the Taishou of Youbeiping, angry and worried.

The Huns are good at hardy, they live in such a climate all year round, they have long been accustomed to the environment, winter battles, for the Hun cavalry, the combat power is not much different from usual. For the Han army, however, the impact was much greater.

Although the imperial court has urgently mobilized several batches of warm clothes to send to the front line, I am afraid that in the coming cold weather, I am afraid that the effect will be limited. Those cotton clothes made of thick layers of cotton felt, the soldiers wore them on their bodies and were bloated, and then put on armor, not to mention fighting with the Hun cavalry, even the action was a little difficult, once there was a big war, how to win the battle!

"I hate these Huns, in such weather, they don't make people live in peace!"

The Right Beiping General's Mansion has been transferred to Yanmen Pass, and at this moment, Li Guang hatefully smacked the bricks of the city with his fist and cursed in a low voice. As long as the Huns did not stop their troops and retreated to the depths of the steppe, the defenders of the border passes everywhere would not be at peace for a day.

Li Guang has dealt with the Hun cavalry for half his life, he knows better than anyone else, these Huns are no different from the wolves on the grassland, their army is behind, eyeing the tiger, and send groups of rangers to look around for opportunities to break through, if once there is an opportunity, then the army will immediately assemble, drive straight from the breakthrough, and wreak havoc on the thousands of miles of fertile fields of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, no matter what the harsh conditions were, the defense of the Han army was not neglected at all. If they were negligent because of the cold and cold, so that the Hun cavalry entered the Great Wall, the consequences would be serious.

The west wind swept the yellow sand and withered grass, the Great Wall of Qin and the Xiongguan of the Han Dynasty, the mottled traces on those huge gray bricks recorded countless fierce battle scenes, and countless heroic deeds occurred here for future generations to remember and praise.

The veteran has been on the battlefield for nearly 40 years, and now he is approaching his twilight years, but he is still strong. There are many military comrades who have fought side by side in the world are no longer in the world, and their hearts that are accustomed to seeing life and death have become as hard as iron, and they will no longer be moved by the joys and sorrows of the world.

Even so, there are still long-cherished wishes. The Huns are in great trouble, the family hates the country, and they have never fulfilled their wishes in this life, but how can they be willing to unload their armor and return to the field!

Seeing another village in the distance being set on fire, the smoke and flames soared into the sky, a few patches of snow between Li Guang's eyebrows shook down, and a pair of big hands tightly grasped the Qingge sword between the ribs, and wanted to pull it out several times and go out of the city to do something, but finally endured it.

"It would be nice to be twenty years younger! You don't have to bear the responsibility of this body, just go to the knife to drink blood and fight on horseback! Alas! Yuan boy, I want you to give me this famous sword in the Spring and Autumn Period, and give me a magnificent poem...... Hate of hate, veteran whitehead, hero twilight! ”

In the flying snowflakes, Li Guang felt infinite sadness in his heart, thinking that he was praised by Emperor Wen himself as "Li Guang's talent, unparalleled in the world"! What a magnificent and intense youthful time it was! But time never forgives people, his life is full of fate, although he is recognized as a famous general in the world, even the Huns are in awe of his edge, do not dare to directly fight him. However, it is easy to grow old, and it is difficult to achieve success, so far he is just the identity of a general, and there is no illustrious title, and the title of marquis has become a luxury.

Although he does not accept the old age, after all, he no longer dares to rush into battle and take risks, this is not because he is cowardly, but because he is responsible for the border master, and he is no longer allowed to act rashly.

"In the Qin period, the bright moon and the Han period, the Long March has not been returned. But to make the dragon city fly, do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain! …… Don't teach Humadu ...... Yinshan. ”

In the muttering, a bitter smile appeared on Li Guang's face. At the beginning, Yuan Zhao personally wrote this poem and gave it to him, expressing his respect for his life's achievements. Over the years, he has been proud of it and has cherished it for the rest of his life.

But now, looking at the Hun cavalry that appeared in the field of vision from time to time, burning and looting the border people, he felt a deep sense of shame and guilt. The faces of the other soldiers were also very sad and angry, but they did not dare to fight easily, in such weather, once they were ambushed by the enemy, their life and death were trivial matters, and there was a mistake at the border, but there was no redemption!

The clouds are thick, the snowflakes are flying, and under the gloomy sky, looking at the place where the fire started, it should be a mountain dozens of miles away from the west of Yanmen Pass. This kind of thing is happening every day, so that the garrison Han army is overwhelmed. Although several ambushes and skirmishes were organized, the Han army did not achieve any boastful victories.

Although His Majesty the Emperor's order was to ask the front-line generals to find an opportunity for a decisive battle, it was difficult to grasp such a fighter. Even Li Guang, who has always been brave and good at fighting, is very cautious, and other generals will not fight the Hun cavalry too far from the city in such weather.

It was in such an angry and helpless mood that a flash of flying red suddenly flashed outside the walls of Xicheng. The red color is so dazzling in this snow-white world that people from near and far can see it clearly on the city wall. The flying red is a man and a horse, the horse is a red flame horse, and the person is a red-robed general. Behind him, a group of black-robed cavalrymen appeared, and they followed closely behind the red-robed young general, a team of about 100 people, and just like that, they left the city gate and galloped forward against the vast snow.

Li Guang's eyes stared at the distant back, his brows furrowed slightly, he knew who it was, but he didn't know what he was going to go out to mess around about.

"Go and ask the gatekeeper why he let people out without a general order. What nonsense! ”

Hearing the displeasure in the general's tone, the partial generals around him did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed to Xicheng with Pegasus to inquire about the reason. When the captain of the city gate heard that General Xiaocai personally inquired, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly, so he hurriedly followed and replied in person.

"General Qiyu, it's Captain Huo who has to go out of the city to kill the enemy, and the little ones can't stop it. So, so ...... Please forgive the General! ”

The captain of the city fell to the ground on one knee, with a look of no regret on his face, and was willing to accept the punishment.

"How can this be true? Can the army be so casual? Do you really think that I will not cure you? Hum! ”

"Humble is willing to accept sin. But Captain Huo is going to kill those Huns who do evil, not to mention, he is a disciple of Changle Hou...... Humble duty cannot be stopped. ”

This captain is also a good man who kills the enemy on the battlefield, but he has the heavy responsibility of defending the city and cannot leave without permission. Seeing that this group of Black Hawk sergeants who came here to deliver the message volunteered to go out to fight, he had already been inspired by them in his heart, where would he deliberately stop it!

Li Guang's face softened, and he nodded his hand to signal him to get up. Those who can guard this pass without flinching are all good sons of the Han family, and he will never punish anyone casually. The kid surnamed Huo, who was just a little angry just now, was too arrogant, and he acted without even saying hello, if something happened under his nose, then he would have no shame to see Yuan Zhao again.

The young general named Huo Quzhi who was a little thin, Li Guang knew that he was a disciple of Yuan Zhao, and he had a few impressions on Changle Yuan in the past, but the Huo Qubing he saw was dressed in men's clothes, so he never knew that Yuan Zhao's favorite disciple turned out to be his daughter.

In fact, not only him, but among the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in northern Xinjiang, the people who knew Huo Quzhi's true identity, except for her own uncle and general Wei Qing, were only two or three people, but they naturally would not tell this secret nonsense, so as not to let people know that there were women in the army and it would be inconvenient, although she was still young, it would not work.

However, there are many people who know that this young Huo Xiaowei is a disciple of Yuan Zhao. Since sending Princess Li'an and her relatives back then, the Ten Thousand Horse Army slashed King Zuoxian with a sword, and burned to death 6,000 Hun cavalry in Yanshan Gorge, Yuan Zhao's reputation is very loud in the nine towns of Guanguan in the northern frontier. The soldiers also loved his disciple and got along very cordially.

Huo Qubing was originally stationed in the Yunzhong area with the Black Eagle Army led by Wei Qing. Since Wei Qing arrived at the front line, he has not taken the initiative to attack once, he is just observing and waiting, collecting information. He wanted to wait for the most suitable fighter to maximize the Black Hawks' first victory.

Huo Qubing also has an official identity in the Black Hawk Army, that is, a military cadet, belonging to a squad under her command, a hundred Black Eagle Army knights.

It has been almost half a month since she came to the front line with great ambition, but she has not officially fought with the Huns, and she can't help but feel depressed in her heart. Wei Qing finally couldn't stand her pestering in her ears all day long, so he sent her an errand and asked her to lead her small team of people, responsible for transmitting military information, running back and forth between the border passes of Yunzhong, Yanmen Pass, Yuyang, and Shanggu, and bringing useful information back in time. This is also to allow her to increase her knowledge, increase her experience, and get better training.

Huo Quzhi naturally agreed, although it was not to rush into battle to kill the enemy, but it was better than staying in the city all day, she went to the front line this time, but she wanted to do a few big things, so that when the master came back from Liaodong, he would give him a big surprise.

There is still a chance to kill the enemy after all. For example, today, she happened to run to Yanmen Pass, but she encountered the atrocities being committed by the Huns thirty miles away, where could she endure it? The battle starts ...... here!
