The whole army set off again, not long after leaving Chaoyi, the wind and snow in the sky hit violently again, as soon as the wind raised its head, it was wrapped in snow flakes and poured into the mouth, Chen Jun had to bow his head and walk against the wind, and the iron armor and clothes were wrapped together, revealing the sound of "dangdang" in the roaring wind. With such a heavy snowstorm, the soldiers have already dismounted. Whether it was cavalry or infantry on horseback, no one could still brave such a heavy wind and snow at this time. Walking in the wind and snow, there seems to be a moving wall in front of me, my feet are like wood, every step is laborious, my hands don't look like my own, I don't feel at all, I can barely hold a weapon and a flagpole.

The north wind did not weaken at all, and every time it took a step forward against the wind, it was like a knife along any gap into the clothes, and the temperature on its body was snatched up to the city little by little; The snow, like the colorful falling pear petals, fell layer by layer, on the top of the head, on the shoulders, and on the back...... At each stretch of the road, there were dozens less people in the ranks. The main roads and trails, the river beaches and ditches, and the marching roads in the wind and snow are full of death traps. If a soldier who is stiff in ice accidentally steps into a ditch or a ditch, even if he immediately pulls it up, he becomes an iceman and is difficult to rescue.

A flag was torn, and the non-commissioned officer holding the flag looked up blankly, and he couldn't care whether it was good or bad. Even the dragon-patterned banner embroidered with the word "Chen" was soaked with snow, and another gust of wind blew, and with a "bang", the flag was torn open a long crack. The flag officer of the Praetorian Guard turned pale, but Chen Kefu seemed to ignore it, and only led the Celestial Horse to ride through the wind and snow.

The forward's He Ruodong's hands were already numb, and his body wrapped in a cotton robe seemed to be immersed in ice water, but he didn't dare to stay, and he ran for more than ten miles in one go before slowing down slightly. He was so old that even his beard had already turned gray. If it weren't for his nephew He Ruohuailiang secretly defecting to Chen Pojun early on, and directly defecting in front of Xiao Guan last time, it would be impossible for him to go to the battlefield as a pioneer at such a young age.

From time to time, there was a "poof" sound around him, but he never looked back, and then he glanced to the side, and found that an old guard who had been walking side by horse was gone, and obviously fell down the ravine. His heart was sour, and he could only move on. He didn't know how to evaluate his nephew's Tou Chen, although because of his nephew's defection, he was also tied to a thief ship, and even affected many family members in Chang'an. But he also knew that if it weren't for his nephew who had taken refuge in Chen Pojun earlier, Xiao Guan would have also been lost, and maybe he would have become Chen Jun's prisoner by now.

Thinking that when he followed his brother He Ruobi Ping Nanchen, the memory of that time was still in front of him, but unexpectedly, it had been nearly thirty years in a blink of an eye. Now that he is getting old, he has demoted Chen Pojun again, and followed Chen Kefu to fight the world, the things in this world are really sighing.

It was already the third watch, and it was only thirty miles away from Imjin Pass, and this wide plain was in front of you. He looked back at his team, 1,500 light horsemen, and more than 100 people were reduced along the way. Although this army is well-equipped and trained, as the original General Xu Guo, he is very aware of the importance of Imjin Pass, and he is also well aware of the strong city defense of Imjin Pass. The defenders in Imjin Pass are not the same as those in Chaoyi City, and the soldiers in Chaoyi are vulnerable, but the soldiers in Imjin Pass are all elite soldiers.

At this moment, the scout team in front of him who was in charge of pathfinding rushed back.

"General He Ruo, I found a military camp ten miles ahead, with about a thousand horsemen. The barracks were rudimentary and appeared to be a temporary station. ”

He Ruolong was taken aback, but he didn't expect that there was a barracks twenty miles away from Imjin Pass. This sudden intelligence made him hesitate. He has no information about this army at all, he only has 1,500 men and horses in his hands, and the other side has 1,000, even if he raids, although he can defeat it, he cannot guarantee total annihilation. The military camp is only twenty miles away from Imjin, and if it leaks, then Imjin will definitely have precautions, and it will be troublesome to take Imjin again.

"Herald, send the information here to Your Majesty immediately. He Ruomin and He Ruohun, I order you two to lead 500 light cavalry to quietly bypass the enemy camp and set up an ambush between the enemy camp and Imjin City. In any case, you must ensure that not a single enemy army escapes back to Imjin, and if you fail, you will see you at that time. He Ruolong pondered for a moment and immediately began to order. He did not dare to hesitate, the longer he delayed, the more likely he was to be discovered by the people in the enemy camp.

He Ruomin and He Ruohun are both his sons, but on the battlefield, there is only a difference between up and down, and there is no difference between father and son. The two young generals of the family also immediately received the order, ordered five hundred light horses and galloped away.

"He Ruohu, He Ruobao!"

"The last general!"

"Ben will order the two of you to lead two hundred death squads straight into the enemy camp, remember, your purpose is to set foot in the camp, not to fight. Immediately after breaking through the enemy camp, assemble to the south of the enemy camp and stand by! ”

"Yes!"

Holding up the Zhangba serpentine-shaped lance, He Ruolong completely recovered the momentum of the battlefield for many years, and waved the lance: "The rest of the people are all ready, and after He Ruohu and He Ruobao break the camp, they will immediately advance in formation and crush everything!" ”

Without horns and drums of war, the two He Ruohu brothers took two hundred selected death squad cavalry to step on the vast white snow, and launched a dark night raid on Meng Jing's military camp without hesitation. Meng Jing led the army to Feng Yi during the day, but the wind and snow were too strong, and he stopped and stopped for twenty miles all the way and began to camp and rest. No one thought that on such a snowy night, there would be a large army quietly killing under Imjin City. Originally, when Yuwen Zhihe asked him to go to Feng Yi, he still felt that Yuwen Zhihe was a little too timid, but he didn't expect that things would really come to this point.

In the wind and snow, the camp fence was only temporarily erected, except for the marching tents, only a small circle of fences around the perimeter remained, and not even an arrow tower and antlers were built.

Two hundred death squads rushed over the low fence with round shields and thunderous hooves. When Meng Jing and the others felt the ground and hurriedly dressed and left the camp, the death squad had already entered the camp. The death squad adhered to He Ruolong's military order and did not fall in love with the battle, and while moving forward, they kept throwing torches and grenades into the tents in the camp.

The earth-shattering sound of the explosion and the light of the fire in the sky were intertwined, and Meng Jing was caught off guard.

In the darkness, he didn't know how many people were attacking the camp, and the panicked Xu Jun just wanted to escape from this camp full of death as quickly as possible. But the more this happens, the worse awaits them. Although He Ruolong does not have the reputation of his brother He Ruobi, he is also a veteran of the battlefield. Such a raid battle is fought with great sound. He didn't directly attack the camp with his whole army, which would probably have turned into a pursuit battle.

He very cunningly divided his troops and horses into three parts, one part of which was arranged to intercept the enemy on the way back to Imjin, and then a small part attacked the camp, causing Xu Jun to flee in panic. At this time, He Ruolong, who had lined up to meet him early, led the army to attack and strangle. The reaction of Meng Jing and his subordinates after the attack was completely calculated by He Ruolong, and the Xu army, which had left the camp in panic, encountered the impact of the cavalry of the Chen army in a neat formation, and immediately collapsed.

After a few rounds of killing, many of Meng Tong's 1,000 light horsemen were annihilated before they could even get on their horses, and the rest of his subordinates fled in all directions. Some to the south, some to the north, and some to the east. However, without exception, these ragged Xu troops were all intercepted by He Ruolong's foreshadowing arranged earlier, and none of them, including Meng Jing, escaped the net.

When Meng Jing, who was tied up all over his body, was escorted to He Ruolong, the inexplicable general Xu Jun knew who his opponent was.

"Those who know the times are handsome, and General Meng might as well learn from the old man and abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible." He Ruolong looked at this former colleague and smiled slightly.

Meng Jing's face was cloudy, and a thousand thoughts turned rapidly in his heart. After a long time, he said worriedly: "If I surrender, can Emperor Dachen accept it?" ”

Seeing Meng Jing's expression, He Ruolong already knew seven or eight points in his heart, and immediately smiled: "General Meng, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people." If you surrender, Your Majesty will of course accept it. It's just that Your Majesty has always had clear rewards and punishments, and if you surrender here, there will be thousands of generals in the Great Chen Dynasty, but I'm afraid your position will not be very high. But if General Meng can make great contributions, then the future is naturally limitless, what do you say? ”

"Are you asking me to betray Yuwen Zhiji and take the Imjin Pass for Chen Jun?" Meng Jing said with a complicated expression.

"No, no, no. The old man didn't tell the general how to do it, what to do, whether to do it or not, all this is up to the general himself. After saying this, He Ruolong ignored him and turned around to explain to his subordinates about cleaning up after the war.

After struggling in his heart for a while, Meng Jing still said dejectedly: "Lord He Ruo, the last general is willing to help your lord take the Imjin Pass." However, the general must be able to trust him. With that, Meng Jing dragged out his plan and plate.

He Ruolong frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded at Meng Jing: "Okay, I will promise you, but you should understand that the Yuwen clan and Xu Guo have already returned to their strength." If you want to mess around, then you will know that you and your family will have to bury the Yuwen clan in the future. The old man is already old, even if he dies, it is just an old life, but there are a lot of people in the entire Nine Clans of General Meng. ”

Hearing this fierce threat, Meng Jing couldn't help but feel the roots of his teeth hurt. His eyes jumped slightly, and he said with a flattering smile: "How dare the juniors, in the future, they will have to rely on the adults to raise something, and the younger ones dare not do their best." ”

"That's fine."

He Ruolong squinted his eyes and looked at Meng Jing a few more times, and after looking at him a little uncomfortable, he turned his head and said, "Clean up the battlefield immediately, and take off the armor and battle robes of all the soldiers of the Xu Army and change them on." By the way, leave a few obedient officers who are willing to surrender, and the rest will be replaced by our people into Xu Jun armor. He Ruomin, He Ruohun, the two of you are responsible for protecting General Meng, but you have to be careful in case there is a dark arrow and a cold knife or something, understand? ”

Meng Jing's heart sank, how could he not know the ruthlessness of this old man, this is to guard against him in case he dares to make the slightest move. If he has some other ideas, he will be the first to die.

"The rest of the people will wait for news outside Imjin City, and everything will go according to plan."

"Yes!"
