(Thank you for finding a dream to feel the mood, AK880418, Thirteen Friends, Tong Yi, Ehanzi, thank you for your support, thank you!) ）——

Lead clouds are low, and wind and snow are blowing.

The 300 forwards of the Wei Su Department of the Tiele tribe went south to intercept the Turki Khan fleeing eastward, and when they were waiting for the arrival of the Tuli Ministry, they ruthlessly and bloodily slaughtered the Sogdian tribes, and when they enjoyed the fruits of victory, they were raided by the Huaihuang cavalry of the Sui Dynasty, and the 300 Wei Su people were almost wiped out, either surrendering or dying. It was not until noon the day after the end of the battle that another cavalry of the Tiele tribe, which had captured and attacked the Sogdians not far away, accidentally discovered the fall of the Weych vanguard while chasing a group of Sogdians. Frightened and angry, the Tiele cavalry immediately brought back the news, and the strikers of the Tiele tribes began to gather in shock and anger, and in the screams of several tribal leaders who were clamoring to capture all the Han people who had killed Wei Su's vanguard as slaves, the commanders of the Tiele tribes decided to leave half of the men and horses to continue to intercept the Turki tribe here, and the rest of the men and horses jointly pursued the Han army, blood for blood and tooth for tooth.

Eager for revenge, the Tielers gathered about three thousand horsemen in pursuit.

The three thousand Tiele people were fierce and chased wildly.

The people and horses rushed to the northwest corner of Huaihuang Wusha Castle 100 miles northwest, and in the snowflakes flying in the sky, a steaming and hot unfrozen river appeared in front of them.

The panting cavalry stopped with some hesitation and looked at the strange water vapor, "Immortal Heaven is above, what is that, in such a snowy day." The river was not frozen, but it was steaming. Immortal God, this. What's going on? ”

"There are aquatic plants fluttering in the river, so green!"

The well-informed leader stood on the saddle and looked forward, and suddenly said in a loud voice: "We have reached the unfrozen river, this is the unfrozen river, no matter how cold the winter is, it will not freeze the river, even if it is cold, the water is still a warm and unfrozen river." ”

There was a commotion in the procession, and many of the tribal warriors who grew up in the cold desert arctic land had never seen a river that did not freeze in winter. Not to mention the rivers that not only do not freeze but are steaming hot in winter. For these Mobei warriors who spend almost half of the year with ice and snow as their companions, this is simply too new and amazing. Many people shouted: "What a magical river, let's get off the horse break, feed the horses, eat some dry food, and by the way, also see this magical unfrozen river." "Yes, yes, it's the first time I've seen such a magical river."

Several leaders with troops looked at this magical river and frowned, "This damn river is so wide. It seems that the water is also very deep, and we are blocked. ”

"Riding a horse and swimming across the river, isn't this water hot?"

"Swim a bird." Someone immediately retorted, "There's nothing magical about this unfrozen river." I've also seen hot springs that don't freeze, and this non-freezing river is probably the same as that hot spring. But although the water of this river is warm and not freezing, have you ever thought about it? It's freezing on this day, but I'm not afraid of freezing when I cross the river. But what about going ashore? People and horses are covered in water, and when they leave the river, they will freeze into ice lumps. ”

The leader's words left the rest of the leaders speechless. His words are right, in this weather, just kidding, you have to hold a stick in your hand when you release water to urinate, and as soon as the water is released, it will be frozen, and you have to knock it with a stick immediately. Although this is a joke, there is no exaggeration in this weather. In such weather, do you want to swim directly? That's looking for death, you can't drown, but as soon as you get ashore, you'll freeze to death.

"How did those Han people cross the river? We followed the trail all the way, and their trail ended here. One of the leaders pointed to the rather obvious marks, the Han cavalry that fled with thousands of Sogdians in the heavy snow, could not hide the traces at all, and they pursued closely, and the snowflakes could not cover them.

"Maybe they have a boat." The well-informed leader looked at the riverbank and fed 4 pregnant Ji Ji than die on this island, burn the food and boil the basket, drink the twilight, drink the twilight, drink the Si You, ≡ the Worm, the Yong Pain 1, the Mo Fei Haze, the Weng Fei Haze, the Turbulence, the Knock Wood, the Panic, the Sorrow

"Then let's go around, this river can't always be freezing, right?" There was a white-bearded leader.

"I've heard of this river, and it's true that it's not frozen all the time, but it's a forty-mile stretch away. When we go around to the upper or lower reaches to cross the river, we are afraid that these Han people will run away long ago. The leader frowned, the unfrozen section of this river is too long, and the most important thing is that this place has reached the vicinity of Huaihuang, and it is only a hundred miles away from the northernmost castle where the soldiers and horses of the Huai Panic Han soldiers and horses are stationed as far as he knows from the information he has. By the time they had crossed the river for a long time, it was estimated that the other party had already entered the castle.

"Then we have to go around, should we just withdraw like this?" Whitebeard asked.

"Let's go around then." The leader of the lead said.

At this time, the other leader looked at the warriors of the various tribes by the river, these warriors were already noisy at this time, and even dismounted one after another, and could no longer restrain them. In other words, there is no restraint at all, and those who serve as middle and lower rank officers in the army are some of the prestige people in each tribe, and each team is composed of people from one tribe after another. Many people have never seen the unfrozen river, in the wind and snow to chase the Han people for a long time, are frozen and hungry, at this time encountered such a magical hot water river, of course, they can't help but take advantage of the leaders to discuss when dismounted, rush to the river to feel the magic of the hot water river, hold water to wash their faces, drink.

There was even a guy who, after washing his face with a handful of water and moaning comfortably, simply began to take off his clothes with a layer of ice slag on the surface, wiped his stiff face from early freezing, and finally took off his naked and jumped directly into the river. Herdsmen in Mobei rarely take a bath every year, and only in the warm summer of each year, when they move to the river to graze, will they have the opportunity to take a bath. Now, when they see the steaming river, they can't help but think of the river on the pasture in the middle of summer, and they can't help but think of the pleasure in the water.

There is a lead, and then it is like a chain reaction, and it can no longer be controlled. More and more people ran to the river, and many of them took off their clothes and jumped into the river. There was even a water fight in the river.

The leader looked at this appearance and said helplessly: "Pass the order." Let's take a break, only half an hour to rest, and then hit the road right away. They can go to the river to wash their faces, but they are not allowed to go down to the river. Call up the guys who jumped into the river and give them ten lashes each. ”

The order was passed on, but no one paid attention to it. Although there were 3,000 people in this army, they were from more than a dozen Tiele tribes, large and small, and the leaders of the troops were also the leaders of various tribes, although one person was elected as the main general. But in fact, each of them still brings their own people, and the words of the main general are not very powerful, especially at this time. The team quickly became chaotic, everyone stripped off their clothes and undressed, jumped into the river to take a hot bath, and some of the guys washed their horses while washing themselves. Many of the leaders also did not see this, and even turned back and ran to the shore and began to strip down to the river. In their opinion. Those Han people can't catch up, since that's the case, then just take a good wash here to enjoy it and relieve the cold. Go to the mud, get comfortable, and go back.

On the long banks of the river, there was a crowd of people neighing everywhere. Everywhere were stripped naked Tiele warriors, and people went to the armor and horses and saddled. All are enjoying this magical hot water.

"Boss, these dogs are really daring. I actually took off naked and went down to the river to bathe. ”

In the snow just upstream of the temporary bathing area by the river, several people lay in the snow, looking at the scene in the distance, and they all shook their heads in amazement.

"Admire, Lao Tzu is considered to have served these dogs."

The other continued, "I'm more obedient to the head of the sect, and I actually knew that these guys would definitely be tempted to go down to the river to bathe when they saw this unfrozen river." ”

Known as the head of the coach, it was Li Jing, the instructor of the Huaihuang cavalry, who had been engaged in actual combat drills this winter, so he had been sitting in Wusha Castle in the northwestern part of Huaihuang. After Guo Xiaoke found out about the situation of Tieler's striker going south, he immediately sent someone to report back to Wushabao. After receiving the news, Li Jing sent someone to report to Huaihuang, and at the same time, he immediately mobilized the cavalry trained in Wusha Fort, and then hurried out of the city to rush to reinforcements. Li Jing led the cavalry to the Frozen River, because there is geothermal heat at the bottom of the River, so this forty-mile-long section of the river will not freeze for many years. After the construction of Wusha Fort, because of this special section of the river, a lot of boats were built here in the fort, which were usually used for fishing to improve the life in the fort, and at critical times, they could be knotted as pontoon bridges. After Li Jing arrived with his troops, he immediately connected the boat into a pontoon bridge and crossed the river.

However, after crossing the river, Li Jing did not lead his troops to continue north, but divided the soldiers and horses into two halves and arranged them to hide at both ends of the west bank of the river. He sent someone to contact Guo Xiaoke and asked him to cross the river through the pontoon bridge from then on.

Guo Xiaoke had just crossed the river in the morning, and in the afternoon, Tiele's pursuers followed the trails and caught up. But by the time they arrived, Guo Xiaoke, who had crossed the river, had already dismantled the pontoon bridge.

The Tiele cavalry who were stopped by the Frozen River did not know that Guo Xiaoke and others had crossed the river, but there was still a Han cavalry on this side of the river, and the number even exceeded that of Guo Xiaoke's department, and also surpassed the Tiele forward coalition army.

"What's that?"

The Tiele soldier bathing in the river suddenly shouted!

"It's like a boat."

"A lot of boats."

"It's a soldier of the Southern Barbarians."

More and more shouts rang out, followed by a rush of chickens and dogs, and many Tiele cavalry hurriedly swam to the shore.

A fleet of ships went down the river from upstream, about a hundred boats, the boats were not big, and there would not be many people on board, but the boats were a strange thing to the Mobei Tiele people, especially when they saw so many ships going down the river together in a black and black area, they were even more frightened.

"Get ashore and get ready for battle." The chieftains hurriedly went ashore, jumped on their horses, and without even compensating for their clothes, rode naked, on their horses, which had also not yet arrived and had their saddles ready, and galloped around with spears and shouted at their men. "What are you afraid of, it's just a few hundred people, they are not our opponents at all, set up a position and wait for them to come." Their shouting and calm appearance suppressed the commotion on the shore, and Bai Huazi gave a panicked young Tiele soldier who ran back desperately without even taking his clothes and weapons, "You are afraid of a bird, pick up your weapon and lead your horse back to your own ranks." ”

Hundreds of boats went down the river, getting closer and closer, and the shape of the boats became clearer and clearer.

Flags are planted on the ship, and they hunt with the wind.

The war drums sounded, and on the bow of the ship, a soldier with a double mallet in his hand struck the war drum on the cowhide drum, and the drum beat excitedly.

After the initial panic, the Tiele people finally climbed ashore and formed a formation.

"That's it. Holy!" After seeing the Han army's fleet thoroughly, the leaders of Tiele breathed a sigh of relief. There were only a hundred small boats, and there were less than ten people on one boat. There are not even a thousand people combined, so what is there to be afraid of. And they are on the shore, can the Han people's boat still row to the shore? As soon as they thought of this, they not only lost their initial panic, but even began to be a little arrogant, secretly regretting the panic just now, and feeling a big loss of face. Especially when they left the shore in formation, these people, who felt safe, became more and more clamorious. Many of the Tiele people weren't even in a hurry to get dressed and put on their armor, they were getting dressed slowly. While shouting at the ships and the people on them.

Anyway, it is impossible for the other party's boat to sail to the shore, and even if they land on the shore, they will have 3,000 people, and the other party will not be more than 1,000 people. And once the other side lands on the shore, then they are a thousand infantry, and they are three thousand cavalry. Who's afraid of whom? They still wish these Han people would come ashore. As long as they dare to come up, they will cut off their heads, peel their skins, and cramp all these southern barbarians who have scared them.

"Lao Tzu bet that these southern barbarians dare not dock." A man who was still naked, said with a smile to one of his fellow men, "I'll bet on two Sogdian women." ”

"Lao Tzu won't bet with you, everyone knows that Han Dog doesn't have the courage to go ashore." The guy wouldn't be fooled.

In the snow in the distance. Hearing the sound of war drums, Li Jing stretched out his hand and made a move behind him, and a flaming red flag was raised. It is unusually dazzling in the white snow.

As the flag was raised, a cavalry regiment drove out.

Another flag was raised, and another cavalry regiment was launched.

Flags were raised. Blowing in the wind. Cavalry regiments drove out and lined up in the snow.

Shan Xiongxin carried a golden nail jujube lance. Horses galloped between the phalanxes, shouting loudly.

"Ready!"

The cavalrymen drew their swords in unison. The sky above the phalanx resounded with the sound of a long knife unsheathed, and a cold white light flashed.

The horsemen's spurs struck on the belly of the horses, and the horses began to take off and then trot.

The rows of sabers held high were as bright as snow, like a dazzling band of light, and the snowflakes fell quietly on the helmets and cloaks of the cavalrymen, one after another.

"Forward, forward, forever forward!"

Shan Xiongxin chanted, and the knights with cavalry swords shouted together.

The horse slowly accelerated, jogging forward.

"Forward, forward, shock the frontier!"

The speed of the war horse became faster and faster, and the sound of hooves was like countless heavy mallets falling on the surface of the cowhide drum, dull and excited.

"Glorify my king, rush!"

The horses galloped, the thunderous hooves rang out, the earth shook slightly, and the black-pressed cavalry clusters were rapidly approaching, like a landslide, like a tsunami, and like an avalanche.

Thousands of horses and horses flipped their hooves, trampling countless snow powder and mud, flying all over the sky.

"Cavalry, cavalry of the Han Chinese! A large force of Han cavalry! A Tierle centurion screamed in despair, his face as dead as ashes, and his whole body trembled. He couldn't have imagined why there was such a large number of Han cavalry on this side of the river, and the number was definitely more than three thousand. But they didn't find anything before, let alone be vigilant. Especially when the Han fleet appeared, not only did it not make them vigilant, but it made them even more careless.

The Tiele people were dumbfounded and stunned.

Fuck, did these Southern Barbarian cavalry fly down from the sky? “

The Huaihuang cavalry cluster really seemed to be flying, like a huge dark cloud, flying on the ground.

The black pressure of the array, the shining saber, is so clear.

"Hedge over!"

I don't know which one roared, and pulled back many of the shocked Tiele people.

"That's right, rush over and hedge against them, no matter how much the Southern Barbarians can't beat our Tiele cavalry no matter how much cavalry they fight."

Riding is their pride, riding is their instinct, and they are confident that they can defeat their opponent's cavalry head-on.

The Huaihuang cavalry approached at high speed, and with every blink of an eye, it flew closer again.

The cloud-like flag, the white sabre. The fierce armor of the cavalry, the war horse painted with tiger stripes, the white vapor spewed out from the nostrils of the horse condensed into frost and mist in the cold air, and the soldiers and horses galloped forward, like a wild storm, swept in a dense and neat formation, surging.

The wind is howling and the snow is rolling.

Suddenly, a trembling voice sounded in the Tiele people's array: "Immortal Heaven is above, in the south, there is also a Southern Barbarian cavalry there!" ”

With this shout, countless Tiele people turned their heads to look south, and sure enough, in the midst of the flying snow, a large number of Han cavalry rushed forward quickly.

On the river to the east, the southern barbarians were riding hundreds of boats down the river, to the north thousands of cavalry rushed madly, and in the south, a cavalry was also killed.

The already scattered formation suddenly became chaotic, and the warriors of the Tiele tribes had no military discipline, they just shouted in fright and despair: "We have been fooled, we are surrounded by the southern barbarians." ”

"Oh my God, let's run."

One after another, the Tiele cavalry, regardless of it, began to flee westward.

"Put!"

On the boat in the middle of the river, the sneering officer waved his arm down, and the longbowmen on the boat began to fire arrows. The Tiele cavalry, who were fleeing in panic, were hit by arrows one by one, screaming and falling off their horses, and the last bit of military morale that originally wanted to barely form a formation was also gone, and under the rain of arrows, all the Tiele people began to desperately flee westward.

Shan Xiongxin shouted loudly on the horse, "Don't let go of a wolf cub, kill it!" ”

"Hooray!" A huge shout was like a landslide and tsunami, and suddenly it rushed straight into the clouds, and the sound shook for nine days. The cavalry roared wildly, long live the charge!

This is the clarion call for the charge, the signal for the attack.

"Hooray!" An even louder whistling sound rang out from the south, and Zhang Jincheng led the cavalry cluster to the south. (To be continued......) R1292
