Only half a day later, the first group of figures wearing dirty leather robes were already standing in groups on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Some of them are still trampling under their feet in disbelief, making sure over and over again that this is not some kind of illusion and illusion.

After all, forcibly crossing the hard ice of the Yellow River, which has not yet completely frozen, has already cost them dearly.

Some of the smaller groups, not even the opponents they were going to face, were so that the whole group overturned and sank in the cold, muddy water and ice floes.

"This is the land of Toki......

After a long period of suffering like walking on thin ice, the feeling of steadiness and peace of mind when stepping on land again made these stout men sigh heavily, but they were soaked with sweat.

"Sons, let go and grab ......"

"Children of gold silk, give and get ......"

"Whoever stands in our way is the enemy......"

The voices of their respective leaders encouraging and spurring morale rippled one after another in the crowd that had already crossed the ice, making the originally somewhat tragic and sad atmosphere gradually become warm.

These people were all men from the North, all of them stout and sturdy, with dark faces, speaking loudly and exhaling, and their Adam's apples were all violent. Some people speak obviously Chinese, but it seems to have a big egg in their mouth, and the tone is so heavy that people can't understand it.

Many people can still faintly feel the bloody breath on their bodies, and when they bump into each other's eyes in the crowd, they subconsciously look at each other's necks, chests and abdomen, just thinking that it makes people hairy.

After a brief assembly through the ice, they were like a swarm of raging locusts, overwhelmingly surging across the land of Heluo, the barren and dead vast field, following some ancient and primitive instinct, spontaneously converging and swooping towards Luodu in the midst of war and hustle and bustle.

As soon as possible, the scattered outlying strongholds, wandering patrols, and transportation teams were extinguished in the sudden rolling frenzy.

When they stopped again, they were already in the messy outer camp, shouting some kind of trumpet in a vague voice and tone, and busily searching for something that could be used.

This group of soldiers is almost all in circles, walking in the soft and slumped snow, as if they are smashing on hard ground, all of them are flat and unswaying.

They didn't know what it meant to enjoy and cook, but they found anything from the camp, from bagged rice and barley to melons and potatoes, and even rye and beans eaten by horses, as well as dead horses that had been cut and drenched, and large pieces of meat with bones and bones that had been slaughtered alive.

One of them held a wooden bowl and scoop bigger than his head, and he pressed it heavily and firmly. Then even the bones and flesh are half-baked and eaten in the hands and chewed, and after eating, it is simply like letting go of the cheeks and pouring them into the throat.

There are no particular accompaniments to the meal, there are crunchy salt beans or a tear of a stiff strip of dry bacon, and a handful of cinderum gnocchi with gray spots is a good match.

After eating in the sea and stuffing your stomach, you can directly take the boiled snow water, and drink it so neatly, or directly crunch and gnaw the snow balls, then you are not afraid that your stomach will not be able to stand it!

Then, with all kinds of strong smells of burpping, the pommel horse equipment was prepared, and he was ready to embark on a new journey.

After all, this was their risk to cross, and after the original Yanbian was composed of many anti-blockages, it was now a virtual death line, and they fell all the way I don't know how many mounts and companions, and they ran south for so long, and they ate the first full hot food.

Although I gained a lot in Huaizhou before, it was better than nothing when it was shared among most people.

Therefore, some people prayed to Heaven with tears in their eyes, so that they did not have to take the initiative to reduce their weight in the extreme cold, while others wept and wept in memory of their relatives and clansmen who died in the premature cold wave and frost.

This qiē is thanks to a certain opportunity and reason, otherwise the vast majority of them, perhaps in this lifetime, or even several generations, would not have had the opportunity to set foot on the warm and fertile land of the Central Plains.

Since the era of Liang Gong, he began to build fortifications along the river, and gradually went deep into the grassland to reclaim, which opened the history of hundreds of years of suppression and subjugation of the Central Plains Dynasty to the outside of the Saiwai.

Relying on and backing the fortress system distributed along the river, a large number of military meritorious men of the past dynasties were sealed on the grassland, with the water source as the support point, built forts and forts on the spot as residences, and captured the nearby Fanhu for enslavement, and then in the subsequent generations of expansion and reclamation, the formation of large and small military feudal domains.

Originally, Hu Ma'er, who was born and raised in the local area, was either a herdsman settlement or a lackey eagle dog who was familiar with the city, or had to flee in groups to other places and flee to the tundra wasteland north of the Beihai or the Moxi grassland blocked by yellow sand with limited penetration of the Central Plains, in order to escape all kinds of oppression and invasion.

In the end, the result and pattern formed was that the originally vast grassland was divided into fragmented large and small feudal domains in the Modong and Monan grasslands according to the river trend and the distribution of water and grassland.

As a vassal domain mainly engaged in animal husbandry and minerals, in the midst of the general bitter cold and barrenness, it also created a unique atmosphere of perseverance and extreme human life, and needless sacrifice.

Because only a few tun districts located near the original Saiwai military fort could rely on rivers and water sources to provide these feudal domains with relatively stable agricultural output, but because of the surplus of these properties, the total number of people that could be supported and the upper limit basically did not change much.

Therefore, every year, in order to survive the winter, they will carry out mutual conquests to take the initiative to reduce the number of soldiers, or organize waves of suicidal raids and temptations against the northern border defense line. In disguise, they will consume the miscellaneous people who grow from the weeds under their rule to reduce potential hidden dangers and unstable factors.

When the ice and snow melt in late winter and early spring, the Northern Dynasties will also take advantage of the opportunity of the weak and weak cattle and horses outside the Saiwai to launch an armed sweep called Spring Hunting, artificially creating some kind of no-man's land, temporary isolation zone and buffer area, so as to reduce the potential threat and pressure in the coming year.

Under the means of the division and collapse of the Northern Dynasties, some close to the Cypriot feudal lords who were close to or obedient would also take the initiative to send their subordinates into the Cypriot in the name of tribute, and drive their lives to the Northern Army as a righteous servant of the Saiwai Dynasty, in exchange for the corresponding money, goods and materials, so as to meet the basic needs of the nobles of those feudal lords and daily maintenance of the high-end Central Plains lifestyle and luxury enjoyment.

Therefore, since the fall of the Zhang family's dictatorship, the past of the northern court and the princes outside the Saiwai has been a messy debt......

In the snow, Liu Fu, the former army commander from Nanguan City, a martial arts man, also galloped desperately, letting the cold wind scrape his face like a knife, and he was unmoved.

The military situation is urgent, although he has always regarded the captured Northland horse under his crotch as a treasure, but at this moment, he can't care about it, even if the foam that drives the run is splashed and frozen on the halter.

He had just rushed out of the camp in Beibi Mountain, because there was no one left who could call the shots, and there was only one deputy superintendent who was responsible for managing a group of people and miscellaneous servants.

Such a typical old bureaucratic attitude that refuses to stand up for responsibility and involvement makes Liu Fu angry, and he can't come out in person. I could only grit my teeth and return the same way and reply to the army with this bad news.

It's just that the heavier the wind and snow on the U-turn and return journey, the worse the direction and vision they can discern become, and they have to stop for short times repeatedly to identify the objects and destinations that are hidden by the heavy snow.

When they stopped for the fifth time, in the leeward of the ruins of a post station, and rubbed their faces with snow to refresh themselves, suddenly in the gray air, several arrows flew with the wind without warning, and knocked the two guards galloping on their horses to the ground.

"Be careful......

"Enemy ......"

The rapid and sharp shouts were just as they could be heard, and they felt as if the wind and snow were rushing towards them, blowing their words out of their mouths.

Then a group of black-pressed figures, breaking through the cover of the wind and snow, rushed head-on, some of them had to take the lead with heavy sticks and sticks, and some of them clung to the throwing rod lasso.

In an instant, relying on his superb horse skills and tailwind momentum, he knocked over and dragged down more than ten cavalry guards who were following Liu Fu, and swept them off the horse.

And the short spears and cavalry swords equipped with these cavalry of the Southern Army were almost one-sided and almost powerless in front of the opponent's long and heavy weapons.

There were also people who approached and staggered at the moment, and were shot in the neck and chest by the opponent with a short bow on their horses, and they could only twitch and cover their wounds, and fell off their horses.

In the end, only Liu Fu, who was not in a critical position under the ribs and in the lower back, was hit by two arrows, and only then did he rely on the horsepower of desperate driving to rush out of the encirclement of these enemies in reverse.

"Damn ,......"

He felt the arrow wound that was becoming cold and numb due to the slow blood loss under the pierced armor, and he felt a little sorry for himself

"Isn't it safe to even be here anymore......"

Since the way back was no longer possible, Liu Fu, who was the only one left in the end, decided to go to the nearest White Horse Temple for help.

And this decision, not long after, saved his life and many others.

The messengers who went to the east gate of Luodu were not so lucky, they failed to find Wang Song, the commander of the capital, in the camp near the water gate, because this king had already entered the city to supervise the armies and attack the battle in the imperial city.

The two commanders who stayed in the camp did not dare to make arbitrary decisions, nor did they dare to believe the words of the comers, so they suddenly changed the deployment of the battalion, but decided that one would raise the vigilance on the spot, and the other would personally lead a scout to investigate.

As a result, the news of the destruction of the outlying strongholds and patrol posts, accompanied by the remnants of sporadic escape, and the unknown enemy who followed closely behind, quickly plunged the camp near the city gate into smoke and fire like thunder and fire

Although such a sudden change and loss was nothing for the 70,000 or 80,000 troops of the Eastern Front who were fighting fiercely in the city.

However, under the dual influence and blow of losing the rear and baggage, it is enough to become the initial driving force and external force for the huge domino chain disaster reaction in the delicate situation of the stalemate and bitter battle.
