Chapter 782: Into the Mountains to Find the Enemy

However, it was said that after Xue Wanshu left Li Chongjiu's main army along the way, he was now heading north to cross Baidaoling.

The road up the mountain in Baidaoling is tortuous and difficult, and the soldiers really have a lot of hard work. After crossing the Baidao Ridge, the mountain began to calm down, and the road became much easier to walk.

This is the northern slope of Yin Mountain, the mountain is very gentle, but the climate is much lower than the southern slope. The cold snap struck suddenly, bringing the temperature into the harsh winter of the grassland.

Xue Wanche's Tabai soldiers were still advancing, and it was the fifth day that they had gone deep into the depths of Yin Mountain. They had now tracked the trail of a Turk and were speeding up their pursuit.

But in the evening of that day, the north wind howled and a heavy snow came.

The snow fell extremely fast, and soon covered his feet and neck, and Xue Wanche couldn't open his eyes when he was blown by the heavy snowstorm, let alone chasing the Turks. He brought in the Turkic guide and asked, "Why is this snow so strange, and how long is it going to fall?" ”

The Turkic guide said: "General, I don't know, when the snow on the steppe is heavy, you can take the whole person in, maybe for a few days, but if it is almost tomorrow morning, the snow will stop." Now we need to find a high place to camp so that the soldiers will not be buried in the snow. ”

At that moment, Xue Wanche had no choice but to order the troops to stop advancing, and instead move all the soldiers and horses to the high ground and camp.

The snow kept pouring down, but thankfully it stopped during the day the next day.

However, this heavy snow erased all traces of qiē on the grassland, originally they were tracking the horse manure of the Turks, rutting forward, but now there is nothing marked by qiē.

"General!" A knight came to Xue Wanche and said, "General." The men and horses of General Ingavier in the second formation were trapped by the heavy snow. Unable to move forward for a while, he begged us to rest for a day. Wait for them. ”

Xue Wanche heard this and said: "How can this be, the fighter plane is fleeting, we easily entered Yinshan and grabbed the tail of the Turks, how can we give up all our achievements because of this heavy snow." In this way, in this vast mountain, we will forever lose the fighters that pursue the Turks. ”

"But General, now that the snow is closed, where can we find traces of the Turks?"

Xue Wanche said: "Pass the order, all the white troops gather!" ”

The vanguard of the Zhao army was 5,000 cavalry. They are all elite soldiers in the Armed Guard Army, and among the 5,000 people, the Tabai Army, who is responsible for scouting and reconnaissance tasks, is only 200 people, and they are the elite of the elite.

Two hundred white troops, led by a captain, had a total of ten fires, and now the ten fire soldiers are gathered here.

Xue Wanche looked at the soldiers of the Ten Flames and said loudly: "We have already found traces of the Turkic tribes, but now because of the heavy snow, their whereabouts are unknown. Ben now wants you to set out to find traces of the Turks. It's a life-and-death mission, but I'm not concerned about your life or death. As long as the main force of the Turks is located, you will return immediately if you encounter it, even if all the people in the fire are dead. I'm going to leave one to report back too, understand? ”

"No!" The two hundred soldiers bowed down together, without the slightest fear.

At the moment, two hundred white troops were scattered in the reckless Yin Mountain.

Chen Asi, who is already a captain of Lixin, and his gang stepped on the White Army. Before you know it, you are deep in the mountains.

Chen Ah Si wore a thick fur pocket and a cloak made of old wolf skin. Leather boots were treading in the snow, making a sound of rubbing the snow. His horse was led by the hand behind him. It was his fastest horse, ready to mount in the event of an enemy, and a pack horse tied to his back with a leash and loaded with food and weapons.

Although the heavy snow had stopped, there was still a light snow falling, and after a while, the top of the soldier's body and the cloak were covered with a layer of snow powder, blending into this snow-colored Yin Mountain.

"Take a break!"

Chen Ah Si and his soldiers trekked in the mountains for a long time, they were all exhausted, and they rested at the moment.

Although they were resting, the scouts of the Zhao army also strictly enforced discipline, and the war horses were all titled, and the soldiers gathered in a sheltered mountain col, except for the sentry men, the rest of the people were resting.

It was freezing cold, and the soldiers and soldiers of Zhao went to get a thick blanket and a pot of spirits, and they could not drink alcohol in the army, but Chen Asi was worried that the weather would be extremely cold, and he was afraid that the soldiers would not be able to stay up when the time came, so he also allowed the soldiers to drink spirits to keep out the cold.

In the pine forest of the camp, from time to time the snow crushed the pine branches and fell on the heads of the soldiers below. The soldiers who were smashed by the snow patted the snow powder on their bodies, picked up the frozen dried meat in the marching bag, and nibbled on the liquor in one gulp.

After resting for a while, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came unusually clearly in the wind and snow.

The well-trained soldiers of Zhao immediately made preparations for battle, and Chen Asi looked carefully, only to see six cavalrymen on black horses, galloping on the valley road next to the pine forest, and they were about to approach the mountain pass.

"Guy, do you want to shoot them and scratch your tongue?"

Listening to the soldier's reminder, Chen Asi's heart moved, they searched in the reckless mountains for a long time, and caught these people, not only to interrogate the location of the Turks, but also which part of the Turks they belonged to. So they have a great success.

What's more important is that there are six cavalrymen, who are guarded and calculated, and the ten Zhao soldiers who step on the white army are all among the best marksmen, and they can shoot most of them down with a round of arrows, and this battle can definitely be won.

Everyone was a little nervous.

Chen Ah Si thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, Ma Pickaxe, your archery is the most accurate to shoot them first!" ”

"Li Gongzi, Zhao Quan, Jian Monkey, Lu Fatzi, the four of you also shot arrows together after the horse pickaxe shot, and the rest of the people went out with me, scratching their tongues, and fighting quickly, I don't know if there are Turkic troops behind them or not."

Everyone agreed and were very excited.

Several of them picked up their light crossbow machines and prepared for sniping. The rest of the men drew their horizontal knives and prepared to attack.

The opposing cavalry was getting closer and closer, and was about to enter the ambush circle, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, and at this moment, suddenly a Turkic cavalry listened, took out a bull's horn from the side of the horse, and blew it in the sky.

Chen Asi's face changed when he saw it, and he shouted in a low voice: "Stop!" ”

The horse pickaxe head was about to buckle the hanging knife of the crossbow machine, and when he heard Chen Ah Si drink like this, his body trembled, and the arrow had not yet been shot.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from behind, as if thousands of horses were in the rear.

Countless Turkic cavalry wearing leather jackets appeared on the valley road, and Chen Ah Si and the others saw this scene, and their faces turned white with fright! Fortunately, they were one step late, otherwise these thousands of troops would have come soon, and where would they be alive now.

Now all the soldiers of Zhao Guotabai are already wet with sweat behind their backs. (To be continued......)
