At this time, it was a different scene. Only at the beginning of October, the snow arrived in advance, and although it had melted just after landing, it still made people feel that winter had arrived in advance.

The woman in the city of Hada took the child and hurried out of the city. The three thousand warriors led by Cang Xiangtian were fully armed, waiting for the arrival of the King of the Qiang outside the city. Thin flakes of snow fell on his thick lips, and he stuck out his tongue and licked it, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

Contrary to the hustle and bustle inside the city, there are many people outside the city, but there are few and far between. The snowflakes in the sky grew bigger, like the tears of a woman in the city. This day will always be an unforgettable day for the Nubei tribe, and perhaps their warriors have been waiting for this day in their lives.

The king's chariot drove slowly out of the city, and the women and children on both sides of the gate retreated, and a series of noises were heard from the front, and three thousand warriors dismounted and fell to their knees.

"Hold your solid chest, my children." The king has only one seat, and he can stand up on the car by pulling the front crossbar.

"King Shen Yong." A strong voice rang out, resounding through the sky, as if the falling snowflakes were instantly shaken.

"Angry warriors, the horses of the Herch steppe are about to gallop, and the eagles of Hada are about to take off, under the vast sky, gallop my children, and take back our homeland." King Qian stood in the carriage, one hand brushing his heart, and the other pointing to the far south, which was the direction of the Central Plains.

"King Shen Yong, King Shen Yong!" The three thousand warriors drew their sabers, pointed to the sky, and shouted in unison. The city of Hada behind King Qian seemed to shake three times in the shout.

"King Qian, your subordinates swear here, take the Chenzhou Bridge, and they will block the Qi army south of the Hanjiang River until they die." Cang Xiangtian knelt on one knee in front of King Qian's car, and the long knife went down, straight into the ground.

King Qian looked down at the sky and said earnestly: "Get up, lift up your chest, take them away, and cut off the heads of your enemies." ”

"Take care." Cang Xiangtian stood up and hugged his fist at King Qian.

"Remember your mission, intercept the letter soldiers of the Qi State asking for help, and eight days later, I will lead the Nubei Iron Cavalry to start attacking the city." With a little reluctance on his tough face, King Qian immediately stepped out of the car, slapped Cang Xiangtian's arms from both sides, and said in a low tone: "Xiangtian, bring them back." ”

"Hmm." Cang Xiangtian solemnly bowed down, although he didn't know if he could come back, but he always had a firm idea in his heart, even if he fought to the last person, he would block the reinforcements of Qi and let King Qian take the city.

"Get on the horse." Cang turned to the sky and got on his horse, looked back at the king of the lower calf, and rode towards the south. Cai Guling and Ye Yilang followed behind, and the three thousand warriors said goodbye to Hada City, and embarked on the journey south with their determination to recover their homeland.

In the air, the snowflakes grew larger. Crystal snowflakes dance like butterflies. The king stood outside Hada City for a long time and did not move, let the snowflakes fall on his body, and then melted away, and fell again. The snowflakes on the eyelashes melted and turned into tears, running down the vicissitudes of life.

"Xi Ermu, have all the ministries received the news?" King Qian moved, his strong body turned around, and he turned to a man standing next to the car and asked.

The man stepped forward and put one hand on his chest and bent down, "King Qian, light cavalry has been sent five days ago, and within five days, all the troops will come with troops." ”

King Qian raised his head and looked at the stone statue of a flying eagle in Hada City, "Venerable Eagle King, please bless your children, and let the angry iron horse gallop on the grasslands of the northern part of the country." ”

Cang Xiangtian's face was solemn, and he galloped all the way. The task given to him by King Qian was very arduous, crossing the Hanjiang River, capturing the Chenzhou Bridge, and only 3,000 people blocked the reinforcements of Qi until King Qian captured three cities.

It is not difficult to seize the bridge, but the difficulty is how to resist the Qi army. Although there is a bridge as a barrier, the Qi army cannot attack on a large scale, but after all, there are only 3,000 people, and the Qi army rushes to the bridge one after another, even if they are tired, they will be tired to death. King Qian explained that the bridge should not be broken unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise when the Liang State sent troops to the Qi State, his iron cavalry would not be able to rush across the Cold River.

After running for nearly two hours, Cang Xiangtian ordered the team to stop, sit on the ground, and rest in place.

Cai Guling took out a bag of jerky from his arms, tore off a piece and handed it over, "Chief, eat this, one piece can last a day." ”

Cang Xiangtian raised his eyelids and glanced at it, stretched out his hand to take it, and threw it into his mouth, "This must be kept well, and I rely on it to replenish my strength during wartime." ”

Ye Yilang handed over a water bladder on the other side and asked, "Chief, will Liang Guozhen send troops as scheduled?" ”

"Well, Lord Ye is not a faithless person, I believe in him." Cang Xiangtian took a big sip and bowed his head to Ye Yilang.

"Even if they send troops as promised, we will have to fight hard for more than ten days, and we don't know how many Qi troops will come......" Ye Yilang was a little worried, after all, three thousand people came up to the battlefield where the two countries were fighting, but it was just a drop in the ocean.

"Chief, we have no horses since we crossed the river, and if we are in the wilderness, we have no advantage at all." Cai Guling chewed the pieces of meat and puffed up.

"What do you mean?" Cang Xiangtian had already considered that he must not fight hard, otherwise there would be only one result, and the whole army would be destroyed.

"After capturing the Chenzhou Bridge, find a way to capture Musu City again, it will be much easier to defend the city with the city in hand." Cai Guling's words were in line with Cang Xiangtian's intentions, and he was also thinking about whether he should defend the Chenzhou Bridge or capture the Musu City, which was closest to the Chenzhou Bridge, to block the Qi army.

At dusk on the sixth day, the team led by Cang Xiangtian finally arrived at the Hanjiang River. It is less than ten miles away from Chenzhou Bridge in a straight line, but the river here is turbulent, and there are many cliffs and rocks on both sides, even if it is a boatman, it will not appear here.

The Nubei people erected five ziplines here, like five black dragons rushing out of the rocks and nailing them directly to the cliffs on the opposite bank.

"My lord, shall we cross the river from here?" Cai Guling looked at the turbulent river under his feet, and then looked at the cliff on the opposite side, as well as the iron cable across the river, and couldn't help but tremble a little with his legs.

"You have never been afraid of the sword and blood, how can you be afraid when you see this." Cang Xiangtian squinted at him, carried the long knife behind his back, and laughed.

"It's not that you don't know, my Lao Cai is not afraid, but he is only afraid of water." Cai Guling shook his head to cheer himself up, this rolling cold river makes people dizzy, don't fall down without holding it.

Cang Xiangtian took a sip in his hand, "It's okay, I'll go first, you have to look carefully." ”

Yuanhang only verbally explained to Cang Xiangtian how to use a zipline to cross the river, and Cang Xiangtian himself used a zipline for the first time. stepped forward and still didn't feel at ease a few times, but the iron rope didn't move at all.

Tie up the zipline, let out a long breath to the sky, and slide forward with both feet. I only felt that the zipline was getting faster and faster, the river was rolling under my feet, and the wind was whirring in my ears. Before I had time to be afraid, I was already close to the other side.

Broken! Cang Xiangtian saw that the cliff on the opposite bank was getting closer and closer to him, but the speed of the zipline did not decrease at all. Secretly luck at the moment, stretch your feet forward.

With a "bang", his feet were still a few meters away from the cliff wall, and the zipline suddenly stopped. Cang Xiangtian's body shook twice, and he hurriedly stood up, only to find that there were two dead knots on the iron cable here, which blocked the progress of the zipline.

"Lord Ye is really smart." Cang Xiangtian smiled and muttered to himself, untied the rope around his waist, and pushed the zipline forward hard, allowing it to slide across the river on its own.

Cai Guling saw Cang Xiangtian crossing the river smoothly on the other side, and waved behind him, "Quick, go to the zipline over there, and hurry up to cross the river." Behind him, the Angry Warriors were divided into several teams, each running to the other zipline.

Until midnight, all 3,000 people crossed the river. Cang Xiangtian led the team to rush to the Chenzhou Bridge in the dark, and they wanted to capture the Chenzhou Bridge before dawn.

Chenzhou Bridge is the only passage on both sides of the Hanjiang River, after the Qi State occupied the three cities outside the Saiwai, there were defenders here, as long as the bridge was guarded, the angry iron cavalry could not cross the Hanjiang River.

Cang Xiangtian touched the bridge along the river bank, and Chen Zhou's deployment was lax, only a few soldiers gathered in front of the fire to roast the fire, and even the spears stood aside. It is no wonder that they relaxed their vigilance, there were defenders across the bridge in front of them, and Chen Zhou behind them, and they didn't expect that someone would come from the side of the bridge if they were killed.

"There aren't many defenders on this side, Ichiro, you bring people up to deal with them, don't make a noise." Cang Xiangtian leaned close behind a tree and looked back and whispered instructions.

Ye Yilang stepped forward to observe, and bent down with ten warriors to touch it.

There were only five soldiers in front of the fire, sitting together and chatting. There were fifteen people in the house, who had already fallen asleep.

Ye Yilang slowly approached and pulled the long sword from his waist. It wasn't until the distance was less than ten meters that a Qi soldier heard some noises and stood up and looked at this side.

Ye Yilang rushed out like a lone wolf, and the ten warriors behind him were silent, waving their sabers and rushing towards the soldiers.

"Someone ......," the soldier who first found it opened his mouth and shouted, but unfortunately the sooner he found it, the faster he died. Only halfway through his shout, Ye Yilang's long sword slashed through his neck with a cold light, leaving a slender wound.

Before the soldiers could understand what was going on, they were slashed by the knives in a daze, and they died with a few convulsions. Ye Yilang didn't stop, and went straight to the tent on the side, and ten people behind him followed with knives.

The soldiers in the house slept soundly, not knowing that their companions outside had already met Hades. When the door was pushed open, they were still dreaming about each other. The Angry Warriors were sharp-handed, and in a matter of moments, they were dealt with.

Cang Xiangtian walked to the bridge, saw a lot of fire on the opposite side, and knew that there were many soldiers there.

"You change into Qi military uniforms, sit down and continue to roast the fire." Cang Xiangtian flashed in the dark and ordered, not allowing the defenders on the other side of the bridge to see the flaw.

"Ichiro, change into a military uniform and cross the bridge with me." Cang Xiangtian decided to go over in person, although there are not many enemy troops on the opposite side of the bridge, but it must be solved quickly, once there is a leak, the defenders on the opposite side of the bridge all heard the sound and rushed over, and he was afraid that it would take a lot of effort to fight through.

The two of them put on their uniforms, took their weapons with them, and walked towards the bridge.

This Chenzhou Bridge is not wide, only three or four meters horizontally, and at most three horses can be parallel. It is only more than 30 meters long, but it is made of bluestone, which looks very solid.

The two walked slowly to the opposite side, and when they were about to reach the shore, someone on the other side shouted.

"Who?" A soldier stood by the bridge, and when he saw someone coming from the bridge, he shouted and asked casually, without taking much precautions.

"It's okay, come and have a look." Ye Yilang answered and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Who? It's Chen Mazi, you have nothing to do. The soldier couldn't see clearly, and when he heard the voice, he mistook Ye Ichiro for someone else.

"No, I'm just here to see you." Ye Yilang also responded casually, and quickened his pace with Cang Xiangtian.

The defender scolded, "You come to see me for fart, come and have a girl to warm up." He picked up his spear and walked up the bridge.

Approaching the bridge, the soldier realized that something was wrong, and he didn't know Cang Xiangtian and the others, so he sighed and asked, "You are not Chen Mazi either, why did you come here?" ”

"I'm sending you to the West Heaven." Ye Yilang took out his sword behind Cang Xiangtian, cut off the soldier's head with a sword, and then stepped forward and kicked the headless body into the river.

"Let's go and take a look." Cang Xiangtian also pulled out the long knife, and the two walked across the bridge.

More than ten meters away from the bridge, several defenders sat together, muttering something. The two of them quietly approached and killed them with ease, leaving only a frightened defender who forgot to flee, sitting on the ground and looking stupidly at the long knife in Cang Xiangtian's hand.

The long knife was slowly raised, aimed at the tip of the defender's nose.

"Uncle spare your life......" It was only at this time that the man reacted, hurriedly knelt up, and looked at the tip of the knife with trepidation. For fear that Cang Xiangtian would fall on his head, the knife was inserted into his head.

"Let me ask you, how many defenders are there?" Cang Xiangtian bowed his head to the barracks not far away, and his tone was cold like a long knife in his hand.

"Yes, five hundred." The defender replied hurriedly.

"How many patrols are there, and who is the main defender?"

"The main general is General Qian Haosu, who has not returned from Musu City today, and there are more than 20 people patrolling inside."

As soon as the blade swung to the sky, the defender fell to the ground with a thud. At a critical moment, Cang Xiangtian did not allow a living mouth to remain.

"Let Lao Cai bring the troops over, and there will be no mercy for killing." Cang Xiangtian looked ahead, a trace of murder flashed in his eyes, and a sentence burst out coldly from the corner of his mouth.

"Yes." Ye Yilang responded with his fists clenched, turned around and ran to the other side of the bridge.

In a moment, the whole team of angry warriors stepped on the Chenzhou Bridge, like ghosts in the dark, one after another, silently driving towards the opposite bank.

An hour later, the defenders' barracks next to the Chenzhou Bridge were quiet, and more than 500 Qi defenders were ghosted, and even the corpses were not kept, and they were taken to another place by the raging cold river.

"Chief, the enemy army has been wiped out, and none of them are alive, and we have suffered twelve casualties." Cai Guling walked over with a single knife, and even if the torch on the side was not bright, he could see the blood dripping from the knife.

"Let them change into Qi national uniforms, leave people on both sides of the bridge to guard, and the rest of the men and horses hurry up and rest, and they will fight again tomorrow." Cang Xiangtian saw the terrain by the Chenzhou Bridge, and the task given to him by King Qian was to capture the Chenzhou Bridge and cut off the route for the Qi army to ask for help. Although it is possible here, he heard that the lord here will go to Musu City, and suddenly has a plan, and decides to abandon Chenzhou Bridge and attack Musu City tomorrow.
