The wind is mixed with snow seeds, overwhelming, making it difficult to open people's eyes, between heaven and earth is dim, after half a day, the snowflakes are falling one after another, gradually dense, and finally in the field of vision, it is all a vast white, the Dingzhou military camp outside the silence is under such extreme weather, but it is more busy, such heavy snow, coupled with the biting cold wind, maybe after one night, the swamp and wetland in front will be a smooth road, and the attack will begin.

The soldiers of the battalions were evidently aware of this moment, and in the warm tents, the coals were blazing, and they were sitting around the coals, and the soldiers were putting strips of cloth around the shafts of their spears, and the handles of their knives were tied with strips of cloth, so that they would not be able to exert all their strength because of the slippery nature of the attack. In order to make the camp have enough charcoal to cope with such weather, Dingzhou has made great efforts. However, as a result of this, there was no attrition in the Dingzhou barracks due to the cold weather, and the soldiers always maintained a high fighting spirit. The generals of the battalions inspected their soldiers and kept cheering them up.

In comparison, the situation is much bleaker in the tiger and wolf army dozens of miles away, and in the big tents of the generals and nobles, there can still be a fire for warmth, fur and beast grass, and mare's milk wine, but ordinary soldiers have to huddle in the cold tent, shivering from the cold. The steppe mutants have never fought such a long-lasting battle, at this time of the year, it was their cat's winter time, in their own warm tent on the grassland, drinking mare's milk wine, gnawing meat and bones, and sleeping a lot, but this year, they were forcibly dragged into the winter battle, and the soldiers who lacked preparation did not even have winter clothes, and in the big camp, there were soldiers who were frostbitten and frozen to death every day to be buried.

"The decisive battle is about to begin!" Hu He listened attentively to the cold wind howling outside the tent, and his stone-carved face was full of perseverance. "Generals, this battle is related to the national distance of our Yuanwu Empire, the other side has nearly 100,000 horses, and we only have 60,000 people. The other side has sophisticated equipment and equipment, and we only have a lot of blood. We can no longer retreat, we can no longer afford to lose, and defeat means that we will lose our homeland, our people will become slaves of each other, and our property will become the spoils of war for the enemy. Generals, do you have the courage to defeat the enemy? ”

"Defeat them, kill them all!" Passionate shouts filled the tents.

"Good!" Hu He slapped the table and stood up, "We are the invincible wolf run, since the wolf run into the army, we have not failed, although we have strategically retreated in the early stage, but Uyan Baatar will be our last position, here, we will defeat the Dingzhou army." Although we encountered great logistical difficulties, the Dingzhou Army Labor Division went on an expedition hundreds of miles deep into the grassland, and the supply line was hundreds of miles long, and they were even more difficult than us, so if we persevered to the end, victory would belong to us. ”

"Every one will obey orders!" Hu He shouted loudly.

With a bang, dozens of generals stood up in unison.

When the heavy snow of the day, the cold wind of the night, and the arrival of another day, the originally withered yellow grass was all dressed in plain clothing, and as far as the eye could see, there was no other color in the snow, except for the various flags that were still flying in the air.

Hundreds of war horses rushed out of the camp, galloping on the snow-covered grassland, the frozen snow was trampled by the horses' hooves, making a titicaa sound, and crumbling in pieces, but they successfully supported the war horses and the heavily armed knights on the horses, and ran for miles away, and more than a hundred war horses went around in a big circle, and rushed back towards the camp. From afar, I saw them shouting for joy: "All right, it is completely frozen, and there is no problem for the army to pass." You can kill those brutes. ”

Hearing their shouts, the whole camp erupted in bursts of cheers, and after so many days in this ice and snow, they could finally fight happily.

The sound of the horn sounded melodiously in the large camp, and in each camp, the generals in helmets and armor rushed to the location of the Chinese army with their guards, while the soldiers in the battalion began the final preparations before the battle under the leadership of the grassroots officers. The tent was put down and put away, and this would no longer be where they were camping, and their next stop would be directly in front of the barbarian camp.

Carefully put on the hood, put on the armor, put on the gloves, and wrapped the strip of cloth around the handle of the gun and knife, and held it in the hand, and a sense of solidity arose. The crossbowmen checked whether the warp strings were in good condition, although the bows and crossbows in the hands of the Dingzhou soldiers were all steel wire strings, but there was no big mistake in being careful, if they found out that something was wrong before the battle, it would be too late to regret it.

The soldiers of the baggage battalion will be the most arduous next, huge trebuchets, ballistas, and scorpion cannons will be pushed dozens of miles through the snow, and under such weather and terrain, it is a huge project.

The two sides are tense, and the big war is about to begin.

A day later, the Dingzhou soldiers advanced to the barbarian camp ten miles away, after the strict military formation, the soldiers were quickly set up camp, the wooden stakes were hammered into the ground in a shout, and then the fence was erected, rejecting horses, antlers, stacked layer by layer outside the camp, the tall Diao fight was erected in the shouts of a group of soldiers, a soldier climbed up with his hands and feet, and soon, a series of flags were issued from Diao Dou. Instructions were given to the battalions on the left and right.

Lu Dalin in the middle army, the left wing Wang Qinian's Qi Nian Division, the right wing of the Changsheng battalion, the selection of the front battalion.

Hu He led the wolf to run in front of the gate, looking at the Dingzhou military camp in the distance, although it seemed very small, but it was exceptionally clear from scratch, from small to large, in less than an hour, a standard military camp appeared in the original snowy clearing, the training of the Dingzhou soldiers made him extremely frightened. Although the current Dingzhou soldiers are no longer the same as a few years ago, every time he meets them, he can make Hu He feel different.

The Dingzhou Army in front of him is clearly a killing machine.

"Hauge, strike!" Hu He sharply ordered that the Dingzhou army set up camp in front of the battle in a big way, provoking not only the dignity of Hu He, but also the dignity of the entire grassland, if they did not fight back, the soldiers would definitely be injured.

Hauge smiled fiercely and said loudly: "Order!" As soon as he raised the broadsword in his hand, he rushed towards his army, and in an instant, thousands of cavalry roared out, and the snow on the ground was instantly trampled by the flying horses' hooves, and bursts of white mist wrapped the charging horses.

The war drums rumbled, and on the front of Haoge's impact, Wang Qinian laughed, "Okay, good luck Lao Tzu, this little Wang Ba is coming at us, Tianlei Battalion, attack!" ”

The Tianlei Battalion is the trump card unit of the Qi Nian Division, known as the first foot soldier in the Dingzhou Army, and it is the best skill of this army to break the cavalry with foot. Hearing the order, the current battalion officer of the Tianlei Battalion, General Han Donghuo raised the spear in his hand, and the sharp whistle immediately rose and fell in the Tianlei Battalion, and a neat column of troops came out from the left flank of the Dingzhou Army, striding to meet the barbarian iron cavalry rushing from the opposite side.

The horizontal formation of 100 people was constantly changing in formation, and when there was still a distance of 1000 meters from Haoge's iron cavalry, the large array of thousands of soldiers of the Tianlei Battalion had turned into more than a dozen phalanxes, and the phalanxes were scattered among them, forming triangles that corresponded to each other.

"Stascension!" Han Dong roared.

The flag was unfurled, the arrows were wound, the crossbow machine was opened, and in an instant the air was filled with a rain of arrows, and almost at the same time, Hauge's cavalry was also bending their bows and arrows on their horses, and the two sides launched a fire from a hundred paces away.

"Block!" Han Dong ordered again.

The bow was raised high, and the long arrow was fired into the middle of the enemy horse, trying to cut off the endless enemy horse. And Hauge was also in battle in an instant, and the long dragon-like cavalry team suddenly scattered like a frying pot, and for a while, it seemed that all the cavalry in the field of vision were wolf-running, and the soldiers of the Tianlei Battalion who were tightly gathered together were like a lonely boat in the vast sea, and they could be submerged at any time.

"Welcome!" Han Dong pointed his spear forward, and the infancied foot pawn let out a neat killing sound at the same time, took a step forward, and pushed forward.

"Brother Jiang!" On the left flank of the Dingzhou Army, Wang Qinian smiled at Jiang Kui, "Wait a while, you will dispatch the Whirlwind Battalion to flank Haoge's turtle son." ”

Jiang Kui smiled: "I want to, but I'm afraid that before I can attack, Hu He will have to withdraw his troops." ”

As he spoke, Hauge's troops had already made head-on contact with the Tianlei Battalion, and along the gap between the phalanxes, the cavalry swarmed in, but the periphery kept rushing around the phalanx, trying to open the gap, and then break through the phalanx.

In the square formation of the Tianlei camp, the spearmen held their spears tightly, and kept stabbing out neatly under the orders of the commander, behind them, the archers and crossbowmen kept shooting outward, and the sword and shield soldiers wandered uncertainly, focusing on the opponent's individual soldiers who occasionally broke through the formation.

Han Dong's eyes widened, and he kept adjusting the formation, trying to involve the wolf running cavalry into the small phalanx of Tianlei one by one, but it was obvious that Wolf Ben had studied the tactics of the Tianlei battalion very thoroughly, and Haoge was also very slippery, and the large army always kept shooting around the Tianlei battalion, occasionally sending a small group of cavalry to try to tear through the phalanx, and the two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and they were helpless against each other. Han Dong couldn't find a chance to sweep the enemy cavalry into the phalanx to force them to slow down, and Haoge was also helpless against the stinging Heavenly Thunder Battalion in front of him, and the two sides still relied more on bows and crossbows to shoot at each other.

The wolf ran and shot accurately, but the Tianlei Battalion shot fast and densely, and the two sides were also in a stalemate.

Jiang Kui lifted the reins of the horse and said, "I'll force this turtle son!" ”

The whirlwind battalion shouted, under the leadership of Jiang Kui, the wind swept towards the battlefield, and when there was still some distance from the place where the two sides were fighting, the horn of the troops had been heard in the military formation opposite, Hauge turned his horse's head, and glanced at the whirlwind battalion soldiers who were galloping, with a hint of regret in his eyes, as a cavalry general, his favorite thing was to hedge and slash with the cavalry troops like the whirlwind battalion, that was the taste, and this kind of stinging infantry phalanx was really annoying.

"Collect the troops!" He ordered loudly.

The wolf running army suddenly gathered together, and before Jiang Kui arrived, it was already easily out of the battlefield.
