In the evening, the cold wind howled.

Qubei led 10,000 elite horsemen into Beidi County, which was still half a day's journey from Niyang County. By this time it was almost dark, he stopped, ordered the cavalry to stop, and prepared to rest in the field.

At this time, a lieutenant under the command of Bei came over, clasped his fists and said, "King Youxian, we will be able to return to the camp in half a day, do you want to go back overnight." ”

Qubei frowned and said, "You are in such a hurry to go back, you care about the safety of Hu Chuquan!" ”

After hearing this, Du Wei's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "I feel that it is not safe to rest in the wilderness, especially since Da Danyu and the Shu army are still fighting, we can't relax our vigilance, so we want to go back early." Humble and loyal to the right virtuous king, there is no second heart, it is for the sake of the right virtuous king. Think about it, if you rush back to the camp with 10,000 elite horsemen first, you will definitely be one step ahead of Liu Bao, so Hu Chuquan will also pay more attention to the right sage king. ”

"Lao Tzu is not rare."

Qubei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll go back tomorrow, and I'll rest here today." Hmph, even if it's not safe, I can be prepared, as long as someone attacks the camp, Lao Tzu will let him walk around without eating. ”

The captain's persuasion was useless, so he had to stay and rest.

The night was cold, and all the Hun soldiers went into the tents to rest, and even the war horses were properly placed. Qubei sat alone in the camp tent, but his mind was full of thoughts, and he even thought that Hu Chuquan was beaten by the Shu army and fled, and he led the army back to save Hu Chuquan, so the result was even more wonderful.

If Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, was also defeated by the Shu army, everything would be even better. With infinite expectations, I went to humility and gradually fell asleep. It's just that he didn't know that Liu Bao was dead, and Hu Chuquan was also at a loss.

……

It's getting dark, but it's not yet dark.

Ten miles away from the Bei camp, Gan Ning led his troops to hide and wait until it was dark before acting.

"Damn, it's too cold."

A gust of cold wind blew into Gan Ning's neck, causing Gan Ning to shiver. It's the coldest time in the Northlands, and in the middle of the night it can even reach the point where the cold wind turns into ice. The 20,000 soldiers under Gan Ning's command were all dressed in winter clothes and wrapped like rice dumplings. Although it is not convenient to move, you still have to act.

Now only their army is still in a stalemate, and the Xiongnu must be defeated as soon as possible.

"Da! Da!! ”

A hurried sound of horses' hooves galloped in, and more than a dozen cavalry rushed back.

One of them quickly ran to Gan Ning's side, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Governor, on the way to Niyang County, I found the cavalry sent by Huchuquan, there are twelve people. These twelve soldiers rushed to the location of the Beida battalion, presumably to inquire about the news, and the final general took the lead and killed all the twelve Hun cavalry. ”

"Good, well done!"

Gan Ning grinned, a gleam flashing in his eyes.

Huns, should be killed!

When Gan Ning was young, he led people to rob the rich and help the poor, and he did not commit any crime against the people, but he dealt with the rich and unkind gentry, so he was called a thief. He, Zhang Liao and others entered Beidi County, and when they got the news that the Xiongnu were robbing everywhere, they were already eager to kill all the Huns and avenge the atrocities. Now that the soldiers under his command have killed Huchuquan's cavalry, Gan Ning raised his hands in favor.

He said in a deep voice: "If you kill the people of Huchuquan, you will kill them, and now you have to kill them." ”

The soldier who reported the news couldn't think of a way and automatically retreated.

Most of the soldiers under Gan Ning's command are old and coarse, and they don't know how to march and arrange, so Gan Ning can only rely on himself.

But Gan Ning also felt a headache and felt that it was difficult to deal with.

In fact, when Gan Ning left the camp, Li Ru told Gan Ning how to deal with the cavalry. Let each soldier bring a four-foot-long wooden stake, and then place it on the official road, and place a wooden stake every four feet, so that the dense placement of wooden stakes is enough to stop the Hun cavalry.

However, such a method could only stop the Hun cavalry, and it was not enough to defeat the Hun cavalry. Even if the soldiers under Gan Ning's command carried gunpowder, it still seemed insufficient.

To completely annihilate the Hun cavalry, these means were not enough.

For this reason, Gan Ning was very distressed.

He wanted to annihilate all the Hun cavalry, and he also wanted to kill Qubei, which was his goal.

What to do?

Gan Ning scratched his head, but he didn't think of a way. He stood up and walked back and forth among the soldiers, contemplating a way to kill him. Gan Ning greeted the soldiers with a smile, but there was no anxious look on his face.

"Old five, the water bladder fell on the ground and leaked."

A soldier's water bladder fell off his body, and clear water gurgled out.

The clear water flows on the ground and is not immersed in the mud, forming a small pool of water. Gan Ning looked at the clear water on the ground, his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He wiped a handful of ice slag from his chin and thought of a way to deal with the warhorse. It's still dark every day, and when the temperature plummets after dark, that's when the cold wind howls and ice slag forms on the ground.

It was even colder at that time, and it was also the time for Gan Ning to act.

Gan Ning summoned his generals and began to assign tasks.

The generals in the army listened to Gan Ning's orders and did not feel frightened because of the night action. The cold weather could not affect the passion of the soldiers, who had a lot of blood to resist the cold.

Time passed, and the snow began to fall in the evening.

Gan Ning looked at the white earth, not annoyed by the snow, but his eyes flashed with excitement.

It was snowing heavily, and the temperature was even colder, and the heavens were really helping him.

The time, the place, and the people are all on his side, how can he be invincible? Gan Ning gave an order and quietly ran towards the camp of the Hun cavalry with his soldiers. Each soldier carried a clay pot with a diameter of one foot, a bow and arrows, gunpowder, and a wooden barrel in his hand, which could be said to be a lot of weight.

It was difficult for the soldiers to march in the snowy night, but they did not complain and hurried in unison.

Some soldiers fell down, and immediately some of their companions picked up the fallen soldier and continued on his way. Gan Ning looked at the soldiers working together, and his heart was even hotter. When he arrived at the Hun cavalry camp with his soldiers, it was already late at night. It was pitch black all around, and only the torches in the Hun camp still shone with fiery red light.

Gan Ning rubbed his hands that were frozen and painful, and looked at the soldiers behind him who were frozen, feeling a little unbearable, but extremely proud. It took so much effort for him to finally arrive at the Hun camp.

Gan Ning shouted in a low voice: "Zhong Shu! ”

Zhong Shu stood up, clenched his fists and said, "Metropolitan Governor, the last general is here." ”

Gan Ning lowered his voice and said, "Open all the wooden barrels and see if the hot water in them has frozen into ice cubes?" If it freezes into ice cubes, discard it. Carrying a wooden barrel that had not frozen into ice, he poured water around the Hun camp. Lao Tzu wanted to make the Hun camp surrounded by thick ice, and when they rushed out of the camp on horseback, they all fell to the ground and became our prey. ”

Zhong Shu grinned and immediately turned around, ready to carry out the order.

Gan Ning was still a little uneasy, grabbed Zhong Shu again, and ordered: "Be careful, be cautious, be light, don't be discovered, otherwise all plans will be in vain." ”

Zhong Shu turned around, nodded at Gan Ning, and then went on a mission.
