The sound of wind and snow roared from outside the cave.

The swaying fire burst out a few sparks, Huang Zhong sat there cross-legged, his white beard was caressed by the cold wind coming in, his fingers broke the cold and hard grain cakes and put them in his mouth to chew, and there were actually cheese and milk cakes brought back from the West in the package, the old wife liked this lightly scented sweet when she was still there, but unfortunately she didn't have the opportunity to feed her by hand.

He has never taken a concubine in his life, there is only one son in the family, he died early in the middle age of the old man, and the loss of children has become the biggest pain in his heart, thinking that ah, then he will pass away with his old wife, but the order of the Western Expedition came over, and he was originally going to refuse, but his wife wiped the treasure knife for him and chopped on a military uniform for him, just like when he was young.

"...... husband is a country, you should worry about state affairs, and the concubine is waiting for you to return at home."

The old wife's words have been said for a lifetime, from the moving voice when he was young, to the hoarse and dull old state, Huang Zhong has also heard it all his life, and he has never been bothered by it, but after seven years of returning, he will never hear it again. The flickering flames jumped in front of him, shining on the white snow outside the cave, and in an instant, he seemed to see a girl in a long dress in green clothes, standing there lifelikely, smiling, and slightly blessed him, "The husband is healthy, the concubine left first......"

"...... Madame."

The lips under the white beard snorted slightly, the old man slowly closed his eyes, the woman's figure disappeared, the voice disappeared, the cave became quiet, after a long time, the wind and snow outside had stopped, the sky became blue and faintly visible, the burning fire still had a little green smoke, the old man who had rested all night carried a package, a treasure bow on his back, and walked out of this cave with a phoenix mouth knife, ready to take his wife and children to walk all over the mountains and rivers of the world, let them see this splendid scenery.

Soon down the hillside, the winter morning is relatively late, still the color of lead blue, occasionally the forest makes the sound of snow falling, just take half a step, the raised wool boots hover, in the quiet environment, after a few birdsong, faintly someone's voice sounded, the pale eyebrows wrinkled slightly, the eyes swept around, all were a miserable white, the sound came more than one.

"The impostor should pass by here, don't be soft later......"

"General Ma, I heard someone say before that it was the Wolf King of the North who pretended to be the lord and gave Jiangdong away, but who is the impostor, the martial arts are high, and he has not been taken down by several ambushes."

Under the thick snow, there is an empty pit, fur and hay, dozens of figures are crowded inside, the gap that can be left out, there are a few pairs of eyes staring at the road covered by heavy snow on the opposite side, inside a captain wearing two armor and holding a gun, with a black and thin face and a small handful of beard, sitting on a small stool in all directions, tearing dry food, from time to time in his hand to take a breath, hearing the words of his subordinates, the upper lip and beard are stretched with a smile: "That's not to meet the captain of the school, when the fishing net and iron fork are thrown over, it doesn't matter if he is strong or not, Keep it first and get off the horse......."

There is a sentence of "say more" before it can be exported, in the small pit, only the sound of banging is heard, the wooden pillar built above is instantly cracked, and the moment the snow falls in, a soldier under his command let out a terrible scream of "ah-" The captain surnamed Ma was so frightened that he tilted his ass from the small stool to the ground, and saw a bright knife blade from top to bottom, inserted into the person's shoulder, and then, the entire pit collapsed at this time.

"The world is waiting for these ambitious people to let many people's wives and wives be separated, and they will gather less and leave more. The old man killed one less today! ”

Huang Zhong initially thought that it was just a hunter who set a trap in winter to hunt, but he didn't expect to hear these contents, and suddenly like a lit explosive barrel, he directly raised his hand and stabbed it down, and even the wooden pillars of the supporting beams were smashed into two sections under this knife, causing the snow on the entire pit to fall into it.

There are still a lot of pits like this around, and they were suddenly alarmed by the movement here, some people looked through the gaps, and there were trees blocking the field of vision, only seeing the original position, there were traces of collapse, so they shouted inside: "Captain Ma seems to be buried...... Go dig up the captain! Some people are also persuading: "A little snow can't kill people, Captain Ma said, don't move around when you set up an ambush, so as not to affect the overall situation......"

In the time of noisy and hesitation, at the other end of their field of vision, where it collapsed, the soldier with a Jiangdong accent shouted and rushed out of the covered snow, and the spear in his hand had not yet stabbed out at the murderer on the edge, the blade was slashed off, splitting his entire body in half with his shoulders, and the captain surnamed Ma poofed his head out of the snow, and when he wiped his face, he raised his head and only issued half a sentence: "Your mother's ....." was smashed back by half of the bloody body that flew in.

The cold covered his ears, and only the buzzing noise above was heard, and when he struggled to push away the corpse on his head, and half of his body was pierced, several soldiers had fallen on the edge of the snow pit, and a soldier pounced on the other party with a spear, and the weapon was taken away in an instant, but it was pierced and nailed to the tree by a spear, and the snow fell from the shaking branches, and the lieutenant surnamed Ma crawled out of the snow pit, holding the hilt of his sword and about to pull it out.

On the other side, the phoenix mouth knife turned, and the air faintly sneered.

The snow-white blade of the sword reflected the eyes of the general, slashed over, and fell heavily on his shoulder, and the black and thin cheeks looked along the hilt of the sword, it was an old man with a white beard, wearing a leather jacket, wearing boots, and carrying a bow and arrows, and heard the other party's voice sound: "What is your name, and who is ambushed here?" Otherwise, don't blame the old man for being ruthless under the knife. ”

The blade was tightly pressed to his neck, and the general shuddered excitedly by this coldness, and knelt down with his hands raised: "The old hero spared his life..... Xiao Colonel Ma Zhong, but he was only ordered to set up an ambush to capture the thief who pretended to be General Sun." ”

"Which General Sun?"

"Little Overlord..... Sun Ce."

After living for most of his life, Huang Zhong only thought about it for a while, and understood it in his heart, put down the knife, grabbed him by the collar armor and held it by his side: "Tell your subordinates to come out of hiding." ”

"Yes, don't get excited, old hero, be careful of the knife..... be careful of the slippery knife in your hand..... my own mother ..... bleeding....." Just when the general named Ma Zhong beckoned the soldiers who didn't dare to come forward nearby to give orders, a soldier draped in branches in the distance ran towards this side: "Captain, captain..... General Xu's side...... That...... Captain? ”

"And a place for horses?" Huang Zhong turned his head to look at him, Ma Zhong spread his hand, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Old hero, it is not under my jurisdiction..... it is General Xu Shengxu's soldiers and horses, and he is the boss of the colonel...... The command does not move. ”

The blade swept up a half-human-high snow wave, forcing several soldiers away, and the old man pulled the belt of a corpse on the ground and tightened Ma Zhong's neck, "Lead the way ahead!" Then he angrily opened his anger at the soldier who wanted to block the way: "Wait and retreat, or you will kill your captain." ”

"Get out of the way..... get out of the way, I want to see the captain of this school die!" Ma Zhong waved his hands and roared, and as the soldiers looked at each other, he was dragged towards the southeast, leaving only a long series of deep footprints on the snow.

……

"Let's go—"

"Impostor, stay alive!" Two voices sounded in the forest almost at the same time, a young general wearing an iron helmet and scale armor led the troops to rush out of the snow, the rushing horse team did not stop, and Sun Ce, led by him, directly broke through the first group of ambush soldiers who blocked the road, like chopping waves, and the oncoming Wu general was killed.

The morning light sounded, and the color of the snow in the field of vision became blinding.

In the snow in the forest, a team of 800 horses ran to the outside of the crowd, fighting as they went, and the red blood spots were dotted on the snow. Sun Ce, who was full of tiredness, forced the enemy general back with a shot, the blood and broken flesh on his body had formed ice crystals, and in the collision of weapons, the shock fell off, and from time to time he turned his head and shouted to Zhou Yu, who was still entangled over there: "Let's go-"

"I am Jiangdong Xu Sheng......"

The war horse galloped wildly, and the iron spear on the horse's back quickly pierced the air with a soft sound, and it was unstoppable. On the other side, Sun Ce turned around, his eyes full of anger were thrown at the general who was shouting violently, and he swung his backhand and smashed it over.

"-quack!"

Immediately, the heavy spear was smashed, and the iron spear copper rod bent down..... Xu Sheng's arms holding the spear were pushed back by a huge force, but the war horse was still sprinting, and the moment the copper rod was attached to the breastplate, blood spurted out of his mouth directly, and the body and the curved iron spear flew backwards from the horse's back in the air together, leaving only the lone mount still running.

"The general has fallen from his horse, save the man—" A soldier shouted and rushed over there.

"Xu Sheng, hold on!" A rough sound came from far behind, Sun Ce turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and couldn't help but scold: "It's really damn damn, don't let it go......" It was after the soldiers and horses set up in ambush a few days ago merged, forming a team of thousands of people, and the leading Zhou Tai, Gan Ning, Ling Tong and other generals were riding horses to reinforce here, if they were entangled by several generals at the same time, Sun Ce himself knew very well that he would inevitably be besieged and killed. Zhou Yu was stained with blood, and he lost his former elegance, so he rushed to his brother's side, glanced at the enemy reinforcements who rushed in, and shouted: "Bo Fu, hurry-"

In the distance, rustling footsteps spread across the snow.

A voice of Ai Ai followed behind: "The old hero slows down....his neck is about to be broken......" In the intermittent words, the old man in front broke through the snowy shrubs blocking the road, the vision unfolded in front of him, and the battlefield of the battle came into view, a lone cavalryman was entangled by several foot soldiers, and he also saw the old man running here, and he didn't understand why an old man suddenly appeared here.

The old man who came rushing threw the belt in his hand forward, and at the same time threw the captain named Ma Zhong to the ground, his footsteps stopped abruptly on the ground in a backward lunge, and the snow was forced to fly, and his arms were spread, drawing arrows and pulling the bow in one go.

The three foot soldiers in front of them fell to the ground almost at the same time, and the three arrows pierced through the leather armor directly. The cavalryman naturally recognized the old man, and couldn't help but shout: "Old General Huang!" ”

Huang Zhong threw Ma Zhong on the ground to the cavalryman, "Look at this person." Then he turned over and got on the other horse, and the ambush soldiers who were a little farther away naturally noticed the abnormality here. The white-haired old man rode over, and more than a dozen soldiers surrounded him with spears and knives, but Huang Zhong had no intention of fighting them, the horse's hooves deflected, and he turned directly and went around behind them.

Zhou Tai and the others, who were running, were startled by the old man who suddenly killed them from the side, and saw that the other party directly picked up the bow and arrow on the back of the horse, and the three generals immediately held their respective weapons to defend, or made dodge movements, you know, it is very difficult to shoot people with a bow on the back of a fast horse, so they only protect the vital point. However, the old man over there still shot an arrow, and Zhou Tai, who was rushing to the front, suddenly became a little shorter in the sight of Ling Tong and Gan Ning, and the war horse under him was hit by an arrow in the ribs, leaving the strong man off the horse.

The two of them suddenly slowed down, and staggered each other for a moment. Sun Ce also seized the opportunity and beckoned his subordinates to quickly get rid of the entanglement and retreat north, and Huang Zhong shot a few arrows at Gan and Ling, before returning to take the previous cavalry and prisoners away and keep up with the fleeing team.

The pursuers followed closely behind, fighting for several days all the way, passing through Yunmengze through the summer water, and almost reaching Huarong Dao, before the fighting stopped.

It was getting dark, but fortunately it didn't snow again.
