The north wind is howling, snow is falling heavily, and the temperature plummets. The Guanluo River, which was still flowing in the middle, finally froze completely. The Iron Blood Army and the men and horses led by Gu Chayi each defended along the river, and the scouts on both sides kept patrolling the side of the Guanluo River day and night, for fear that the other party would take the opportunity to cross the river and sneak attack.

The 30,000 iron-blooded troops on the side of the Guanluo River, after the incident, sent people to reconnoiter the frozen Guanluo River to find a place where they could cross the river, and on the other hand, they made a feint and attracted the attention of the troops led by Gu Chayi. Finally, on a snowy night, the Iron Blood Army reached the boundary of Yanbei by stepping on the ice of the river.

After Gu Chayi defeated the Jingnan army, he was immediately sent by Qi Weilun to the edge of the Guanluo River. The terrain at the corner of the Guanluo River is dangerous, the river is turbulent, and an ancient road is the necessary place for Anyun to go to Yanbei.

There is an unnamed ancient city on the ancient road, which has been abandoned because of the long period of peace. Gu Chayi led 5,000 people to be stationed in the ancient city, and with the old scale, the ancient city was repaired. Reinforcements from Stone Wind City were constantly being sent, and now there were more than 10,000 people stationed in the ancient city.

Since learning that the Iron Blood Army had arrived at the Guanluo River, Gu Cha ordered people to set up a camp on the riverside, scout the horses, and scout the enemy troops who intended to cross the river.

The arrival of the harsh winter made Gu Chayi's heart even more worried, because it meant that the natural danger of the Guanluo River could no longer be relied on.

Qi Weilun transported several catapults from the captured Jingnan Army here. During the day, Gu Cha ordered people to smash the river ice with stones, just to temporarily prevent the arrival of the Iron Army.

On this snowy night, as soon as Gu Cha finished dealing with the day's affairs and was lying in bed, there was a report from the Malay that the iron-blooded army had crossed the river.

Gu Cha was shocked, and immediately ordered 3,000 men and horses, braving the wind and snow to prevent the iron-blooded army from crossing the river.

Wang Qinwei has now controlled the 30,000 horses, and has been making a frontal feint during the day, plus crossing the river in this snowy night, I thought that I could catch the Yanbei Righteous Army by surprise, but I didn't expect Gu Chayi's troops to come at the fastest speed.

Qian Qinwei held a gun in one hand, led a thousand people to cross the river first, this section of the river ice is very strong, but the equipment on the sergeants is not light, walking on the river ice is also cautious, for fear that if the river ice is accidentally damaged, they will freeze to death here.

The Guanluo River is extremely wide, and although it is a dry season, the river is also one mile wide. Therefore, when Gu Cha arrived, only a thousand people from Qian Qinwei came, and many people carefully stepped on the river ice.

As soon as Gu Cha saw that someone had crossed the river, he did not hesitate, and immediately led 3,000 men to kill them, trying to annihilate the enemy army that crossed the river, and then repelled the other enemy troops.

As soon as Gu Cha ordered a few light catapults, he threw stones into the river, but he couldn't see his fingers, and there was wind and snow, and the catapult's accuracy was extremely low, and it was impossible to stop the iron-blooded army from crossing the river.

The 1,000 men led by Qian Qinwei had already gained a foothold, and when they saw that Gu Cha was coming, they formed an army formation to stop it.

After all, the Iron Blood Army is the most elite army of the dynasty, and the discipline is very strict, listening to the sound of swords and soldiers on the opposite bank, as well as the sound of throwing stones and breaking ice on the side, he did not show any panic at all, and stepped across the Guanluo River step by step.

Gu Chayi took advantage of the numerical advantage to attack the 1,000 people of Qian's guard, although the iron-blooded army was beaten back again and again, but it was completely impossible to defeat this 1,000 people.

As more and more people crossed the river from the enemy, Gu Chayi was finally unable to resist and had to retreat with his troops.

There was a creaking sound of breaking the ice, accompanied by the wails of several people, and a stone smashed into the Iron Blood's river-crossing procession.

Wang Qinwei, who was not far away, saw such a shocking scene, and immediately ordered the team crossing the river to destroy the catapult first.

Under the restraint of the officers, the panic was quickly quelled, and if it were a rabble, I am afraid that they would have trampled on each other long ago, so that no one would have lived.

The iron-blooded army that crossed the river, seeing that Gucha retreated and did not pursue, and after destroying several catapults, stabilized the formation and covered the arrival of the large army.

"It was really thrilling just now, if the stone went a little further, I would have to go to the Guanluo River today to feed the fish and shrimp." After crossing the river, the prince's guard was terrified.

"I didn't expect those people in Yanbei to come so quickly, I thought there was a feint attack during the day, and we would take advantage of the wind and snow to catch them off guard." Qian Qinwei was also a little surprised.

"It seems that the people who rebelled in Yanbei are not all rabble, but there are also some capable people. We have to be careful this time. Be sure to pay attention to the army that is confronting us, and don't let them sneak up on you. The royal guard commanded.

"In the past, with the Guanluo River natural insurance, we couldn't help them. Now that we have crossed the river, we must teach them a good lesson. The king gave me a few thousand soldiers and horses, and I will destroy them. Qian Qinwei said angrily.

"Don't be reckless, our mission this time is to capture Shifeng City and open up the Yushan Mountain Road. This team is small in number, and as long as you take precautions, it will not become a big disaster. Wei Zeng of Stone Wind City is our main plan, as long as we conquer Stone Wind City and kill Wei Zeng, this account will be counted in the future. Wang Qinwei organized.

After the 30,000 iron-blooded army was slightly reorganized, they went directly in the direction of Shifeng City. Among them, 3,000 ironclad cavalry were the last to cross the river, but after crossing the river, they should sweep forward first.

As soon as Gu Cha retreated, he ordered someone to inform Wei Zeng of the news of the iron-blooded army's crossing of the river, and on the one hand, he asked people to stick to the ancient city, and on the other hand, he hoped to ambush the iron-blooded army with a dangerous path and give the iron-blooded army an unexpected blow.

After Gu Chayi retreated, he did not immediately go to the ancient city, and Gu Chayi, the stockade on the riverside, gave up decisively, and took 3,000 righteous troops to ambush the iron-blooded army in the steep place of the ancient road.

At this time, a force of more than 1,000 people rushed over under the dim sky in the northeast, and it turned out that Zhao Jiahui heard that Gu Cha was retreating, so he came to respond.

"Lao Zhao, you are here, I was planning to ambush the Iron Blood Army here. With more than 1,000 of you, our odds are greater. Gu Chayi patted Zhao Jiahui's shoulder and said.

"If the ancient commander has anything, you can tell it. I, Zhao Jiahui, listen to you everything. Zhao Jiahui replied.

"Do you see the canyon up ahead? You lead people to lie in ambush on both sides, and when the Iron Blooded Army arrives, they will come out to kill the enemy, and I will ambush them in the col on this side, and cut off their way when the time comes. We work together to fight a big battle. Gu Chayi commanded.

"I'll take someone with me. But General, what is this sound, is there an earthquake? After Zhao Jiahui agreed, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound, and the earth trembled a little.

Gu Cha also heard it, and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that a large group of ironclad cavalry had appeared in the western sky.

Now it was just a little bright, and the ironclad cavalry on the horizon looked dark, accompanied by the earth-shaking horse footsteps, the ironclad cavalry turned into a torrent of steel and rushed towards the righteous army.

"I didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly. There was no time for the ambush, everyone occupied the valley and formed a formation. The pikemen formed a repulsion formation, and the crossbowmen fired. Gu Cha immediately commanded.

The 4,000 rebels lined up in a hurry, and as soon as the crossbowmen fired the first arrow, the ironclad cavalry was killed. The crossbowmen retreated in a hurry, repelling the spears that had not yet been formed, and the impact was even more unremarkable.

The ironclad cavalry mercilessly slaughtered into the rebel army formation, easily tearing the military formation apart. The formation of the rebels was divided into several pieces, and it was difficult to cooperate with each other for a while.

The ironclad cavalry was like a jackal entering a flock, wantonly killing the rebel soldiers who were no longer in formation, and for a time the rebels had no power to fight back.

Gu Chayi fought and retreated under the cover of the guards, and his heart ached when he saw that his four thousand men were about to disappear in the blink of an eye.

At this time, a team of ironclad cavalry found the retreating Gu Chayi, and immediately rushed to Gu Chayi's side.

Gu Chayi's guards formed a shield wall, but they did not resist in the slightest. With the power of the impact, the Iron Knight's horse easily broke through the shield wall, and then turned into a slaughter with his saber.

An iron-blooded knight broke through the shield wall, threw away his horselance, drew his saber, and after slashing several volunteer soldiers, rushed towards Guchayi.

Gu Cha bent his bow and shot an arrow at the iron-blooded knight, but saw that the knight was only slightly on one side, and then without any effect, he raised his saber and slashed at it.

Gu Chayi hurriedly swung his spear to block, and fought with the ironclad cavalry for a few rounds on his horse. At this time, more ironclad cavalry came to kill Gucha. A knight rushed over and stabbed Guchai's mount to the ground with a lance.

As soon as Gucha got up from his horse, he saw several swords coming at him.

"It's all over." Gu Cha was shocked.

At this moment, a big man wielded an iron rod to take all the swords that had been chopped, and then knocked an ironclad cavalryman off his horse with a cross hand.

"Commander Gu, are you alright?" Dahan turned around and asked, it turned out that it was Zhao Jiahui who came to save Gu Chayi.

At this time, the four ironclad knights, seeing that their companions were killed, immediately joined forces to kill Zhao Jiahui.

Zhao Jiahui was not afraid of danger, the iron rod hit the person, the horse's legs, and in the blink of an eye, the four knights beat the person on his back and turned over.

"There are too many enemies, let's rush back to the ancient city first and make plans." Zhao Jiahui saw that the rebels couldn't resist the iron-blooded army at all, and more iron-blooded knights also killed Gu Cha, so he said.

Without waiting for Gu Cha to answer, Zhao Jiahui carried Gu Cha one by one, and then jumped on a horse and took Gu Cha Yi to the direction of the ancient city. The rebels fought on their own, waiting for an opportunity to flee to the ancient city.

Gu Cha was distracted, and he left the city with 4,000 men and horses, and now less than 200 people have returned.

"The Predator is so terrible that the sword can't be slashed, and the arrow can't be killed. In the face of them, he didn't even have a chance to fight back. Gu Cha said secretly in his heart.

"Zhao Zhuangshi, how can you kill those ironclad cavalry? Why did they eat me with an arrow, and if they hit me a few times, they would be fine, and you would kill them with a stick. Gu Chayi recovered his mind a little, and then asked Zhao Jiahui.

"The armor of those ironclad soldiers is so strong that ordinary swords can't pierce it. I'm a bit brute force, and I like to use heavy guys. With this stick, even through the iron armor, I can also knock them out of internal wounds. Zhao Jiahui waved the iron rod and said.

"That's right, it's the weapon. To deal with ironclad soldiers, it is natural to use heavier weapons. I want to inform Wei Zeng, but I can't let them make my mistake today. Tell me to go down and order the blacksmith to make me a batch of iron rods and sledgehammers, and use big guys to deal with the Iron Army. Gu Chayi ordered.

"But Commander, we don't have enough steel." Said an officer in charge of logistics.

"Collect all the metal in the city, and melt all the useless weapons. Build as much as you can. Gu Chayi commanded.

"Commander Qiyu Gu, a large army of the enemy has been killed." A soldier on the city wall reported.

"Give me all the city to defend it, whoever dares to go out of the city to face the battle, there will be no forgiveness." Gu Chayi ordered.
