It was a terrible day, with snow flakes the size of poplar leaves falling from the clouds. It was blown away by the wind in mid-air and turned into snow particles like hailstones, and the north wind mixed with snow particles smashed on the surface of the armor with a sonorous sound.

These armors are made of raw hide, light and strong, they are a status symbol, and those who can catch one are all the elite of the army, but at this moment, this thing is heavier than iron.

It was early winter, and the sky had not completely cooled down, and some of the snow had melted in mid-air, while others were cold and sticky. The two fell on the person alternately, and in the blink of an eye, a thick layer was frozen.

This kind of armor made of cold ice may be stronger than iron armor, and it looks beautiful, but the people in it can only wail.

Cold, bone-chilling!

The cold air penetrated through the neck, chest, cracks in the armor, and everywhere possible, through the thin cotton jacket, all the way to the depths of the human bone marrow, freezing the three souls and seven spirits of the person almost flew up, and the limbs and bones became numb.

What is even more uncomfortable is that after enduring such pain, I can't shout loudly, but can only keep moving forward and forward again amid the roaring and scolding of the officers.

"It's all for Lao Tzu to run, and it's hot when you run!"

This is definitely standing and talking without backache, if you can run without fear of the cold, what else do you need to do with fur? Looking at the officers who were riding on tall horses and shrunk their heads and faces into fur coats, the soldiers cursed in their hearts, and they longed for the horses to smash the people riding on them into the snow, so that they could have a chance to step on their feet.

"General Jiang, the snow is too big, and the brothers are tired, do you see if it's ......" Finally, someone couldn't help it. A captain rode up and whispered to Jiang Qi.

In the morning, they crawled for more than 20 miles, and everyone in the army was exhausted. In the place where Jiang Qi was, under his coercion, everyone stumbled and could barely continue to hurry, but where he couldn't see, the soldiers were so cold that they couldn't even hold their weapons, crying for their fathers and mothers, and there were a lot of mourning.

"No way!" Jiang Qi didn't give the other party a chance to finish speaking. He flatly refused: "It's Zhao Yun who came this time!" This person is very bold, in Gaotang back then, he was one person and one horse, and he was entangled with 20,000 Hu Qi for two days! And the wind cavalry under his command was born from the White Horse Yi of the year. This kind of opponent, no matter how important it is, cannot be overstated! ”

Jiang Qi is not bitter in his heart?

After the news of the northern expedition in Qingzhou reached northern Hebei, he thought that he had been fully prepared for the hardships of this war. The Yulin Army is not known for its rapid attacks, and he didn't think that he could defeat Yu Ban head-on, but he always felt that it was still possible to delay time by relying on the stronghold of the fortified city.

Who would have thought that Wang Yugen would not play cards according to common sense. At the critical juncture when the conflict between the two major forces in Youzhou was about to break out, he even threw Zhao Yun's five thousand elite cavalry into the Western Front regardless of it!

Intelligence indicates that the Tempest Cavalry left Plains City on October 29 and then disappeared. Until the first day of November. That is, on the day when the emergency military information reached Wuji City, someone found traces of the cavalry passing by outside Guanjin City, which was four hundred miles away from Gaotang!

Soaring 400 miles in two days and nights...... Is there any other possibility besides the raid? Definitely not!

Looking at the route of the Storm Cavalry Rush, the target will only. It can only be Zhongshan Kingdom!

Wang Men and others' plan to fight against the ban was to take advantage of the terrain. From Zhending to Ancheng Township, build a solid line of defense. For this reason, they even prepared an ice-digging team, and once the Hutuo River along this defense line was frozen, they would organize manpower to chisel the river ice and make it more difficult for the Qingzhou army to break through.

As for whether the other party will be roundabout, whether it is Wang Men or Jiang Qi, they are not very worried. The Yulin Army is infantry, and its mobility is limited, so it takes a small group of troops to come over, just to deliver food to the door, and the team is roundabout, as long as they go to block it in advance.

The Hutuo River is incomparable with the natural danger of the Yellow River, but it is also a famous river in Hebei, with turbulent water and a wide river surface, and there are only a few ferries suitable for the brigade to cross the river.

If Yu Ban really takes a detour, the time on the road will definitely not be short, tossing back and forth a few times, even if it is finally broken through, the purpose of delaying time has been completed. The generals turned around directly and retreated to the next line of defense, anyway, after breaking through the ban, they had to stabilize the place and settle the various heroes who participated in the battle, and it was impossible to pursue them with all their might.

So, there's nothing to worry about.

But Zhao Yun suddenly intervened, and the situation was much more serious.

The cavalry is fast! Zhao Yun can completely ignore the Hutuo River defense line, go directly through from Anguo and Bolu, and go straight to Lunu City! Although Lunu City was defended by Zhang Nan's 5,000 troops, even if he was anxious with Zhang Nan's brother, he didn't think that Zhang Nan could stop Zhao Yun, and the two sides were not opponents of the same grade at all.

And Lu Nu is the seat of Zhongshan Kingdom, and it is also the back road of Wang Men and others, once it is cut off, they can really only defend to the end.

Because Liu Yujun agreed in advance that it was impossible for Wang Yu to let Gongsun Zan attack Jixian alone, the defense of the Western Front was completely aimed at Yu Ban, and he did not prepare other back-ups.

Therefore, Zhao Yunqi's soldiers stood out, and they disrupted Wang Men and the others at once.

It won't work to ask Jixian for help, first, it's too late, and second, even if it's too late, Liu Yu's reinforcements can't come to help, it's not that he treats Wangmen as an outcast, but the situation doesn't allow it.

If Lunu, Jixian, and Yijing are connected with lines on the map, you will get a flat equilateral triangle, the first two are two far angles, and Yi Jing sits in the middle.

Gongsun Zan built Yijing City out of strategic considerations, and when selecting the site, he took into account cutting off the connection between Jixian County and Jizhou. If Liu Yu wants to rescue Lu Nu, he must risk being attacked by Gongsun Zhan on the flank, and not for a day and a half, but for the whole process!

There is no doubt that it is not a rescue, but a death!

Wang Men and the others don't want to die, so they can only save themselves. Fortunately, Zhao Yun's advance was too fast, and Yu Ban couldn't cooperate with the troops in time, so he had the opportunity to divide the troops to rescue.

Jiang Qi's current actions are to save himself, and his destination is Anguo. No matter how powerful Zhao Yun's cavalry is, it can't really be elusive. He also had to ensure that the back road was not cut off, and that he could raise supplies along the way, as long as he held Anguo City, a stronghold connecting the three counties of Hejian, Zhongshan, and Anping, he would not have to worry about the safety of Lunu.

Now the two sides are scrambling for speed, if Zhao Yun rushes to Anguo first, and waits for work to meet him, or ambushes himself, Jiang Qi knows that he has only one way to die. But if it was the other way around, he would have become a hero who turned the tide.

If Zhao Yun relied on the strength of his troops, carelessly underestimated the enemy, and drove directly under the fortified city, he had already become the end of a strong crossbow, maybe he would still have a chance to win!

The Wind Cavalry is one of the core forces of the Sixth Hussar Army, and it does not need to be defeated, as long as Zhao Yun is repulsed, it may become a turning point in the entire war.

At this moment, Jiang Qi was so anxious, where could he care about the life or death of the little soldiers?

"But general, if it goes on like this, even if you can get to Anguo City in time, I'm afraid you will ......" The captain was very conscientious and gave advice to Jiang Qi unrelentingly.

Jiang Qi frowned and turned to look back, and found that what the general said was indeed true. The team already showed signs of disconnection, the queue of five thousand people was stretched for at least a dozen miles, looking back from the front of the team, sparsely pulled, there was no end in sight, and then ran down, even if they could reach the destination in time, the team was only left with hundreds of his personal guards.

With such a small number of people and such morale, even if they rush to Anguo City, they don't have the strength to fight with the Qingzhou Army.

In desperation, Jiang Qi waved his hand weakly, signaling the generals to find a shelter from the wind, and asked the team to temporarily stop and rectify.

He didn't dare to hope that he could arrive in Anyang in time to turn the tide and fall on the verge of falling, just begging God to be fair, and let the Qingzhou Army taste the taste of this "white-haired wind".

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

Maybe I heard Jiang Qi's prayer, or maybe in the eyes of God, no matter whether you are rich or poor, whether you have the name of righteousness or not, you are all just as cheap and insignificant. This heavy snow really fell from the Yellow River to Yanshan, and the entire land of Hebei was decorated with silver.

However, Jiang Qi's wish was destined to be unfulfilled, just when he was wearing frost and snow and hurrying hard, under the cover of martial law of the Hidden Fog Army, Zhao Yun and his subordinates stepped into the city gate of Anxiang in a good time, intending to rest in the city for a night to avoid the heavy snow.

Wei Yan stepped forward head-on, took the reins from Zhao Yun's hand, and laughed: "If Jiang Qi knew that we were just shaking a shot, would he be so angry that he vomited blood?" ”

"It's hard to say whether you will be so angry that you vomit blood, it's certain that you will freeze out internal injuries!" On the side, Qin Feng smiled and said: "In such weather, this guy is really hardworking." If Yuan Shao's subordinates were so ruthless to themselves back then, we might not be able to destroy him. ”

"How is that the same?"

Wei Yan shook his head and said: "Back then, Yuan Shaobing had enough food, and he didn't take the lord seriously, until the last battle, he thought he could win." And now that the feng shui is reversed, these people in the royal gate have no intention of winning from the beginning, the trapped beasts are still fighting, and they are only thinking about delaying time, if they don't want to think of a way, let the general attack the past step by step, and the consumption will definitely not be small. ”

Qin Feng took off his helmet, grabbed two handfuls of his messy hair, and wondered: "In this way, the number of soldiers is not as good as before?" ”

"More soldiers have the advantage of more soldiers, and fewer soldiers also have the advantage of fewer soldiers, the key is who is better at talking about the advantages and giving full play to them." While arranging the troops to rest, Zhao Yun explained: "This time, we can successfully mobilize Jiang Qi and paralyze the royal gate, isn't it because there are many soldiers?" Don't think about it so much, recharge your batteries, and when the snow stops, there will be a battle to be fought. ”
