Chapter 222: Cold Snap

Under the leadership of Hua An, the group jumped off the war horse, picked up the weapon in their hands and climbed towards the steep hill in front of them, and more than 100 war horses were left in place.

"Stop, soldiers, stop." As soon as he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Hua'an asked a hundred of his subordinates to stop advancing.

"Big brother, do you want to teach the enemy a lesson?"

Hua An nodded, took a large bow from a small soldier, and said loudly: "Soldiers, prepare bows and arrows." ”

More than a hundred soldiers drew their big bows one after another, bent their bows and arrows and aimed at the bottom of the mountain.

"Driving ......"

Hua An and his 100 soldiers were just ready, and the enemy's more than 2,000 horses and horses rushed over under the leadership of the enemy army master.

"Lord, the enemy's horses, they must have run up the mountain." A junior colonel affirmed.

"War master, these more than 100 war horses are our trophies, but I didn't expect that before the battle was fought, the enemy army was so frightened that his buttocks urinated, and even the war horses were lost." Another colonel roared loudly.

When the enemy commander heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he felt that he was about to catch the big fish from these high-quality war horses, so he said confidently and loudly: "Soldiers, dismount, chase me, you must capture the enemy alive." ”

"Soldiers of the second battalion, dismount and come with me." The owner of the second battalion let out a loud shout and dismounted and climbed up the steep hill.

"Hahaha! Can you hide from it if you climb up the mountain? Wish for the moon. The enemy commander imagined the scene when he made a meritorious service, and laughed unconsciously.

Hua An bent his bow and arrows, aimed at the head of the enemy military leader, and easily opened his right hand.

Just listen to the sound of 'whoosh', a sharp arrow is impartial, hitting the forehead of the enemy commander.

"Ugh." The enemy warlord snorted and fell from his horse.

"Soldiers, release the arrows." Huaan shouted and gave the order to attack.

"Whoosh ......"

Suddenly, a hundred arrows were fired, and the sharp arrows carried the anger of the soldiers and shot at the enemy at the bottom of the mountain.

One, two, three......

After more than a dozen rounds of shooting, the enemy troops under the mountain suffered hundreds of casualties in an instant, and even their military master was killed by Hua An's arrow.

The enemy commander was shot in the head by Hua'an, which made the more than 2,000 soldiers of the enemy army fearful, and even unconsciously retreated.

"Don't retreat, don't retreat, the other party only has a hundred people, kill me." The commander of the second battalion of the enemy army loudly urged his soldiers to attack upward.

"The soldiers of the third battalion, dismount and avenge the master." The owner of the third battalion of the enemy army shouted loudly and led more than 1,000 soldiers under his command to kill the mountain.

At this time, most of the arrows of the pro-soldier team had been used, and each soldier had less than ten arrows, Wang San saw the great urgency, looked at Hua'an, and said loudly: "Big brother, the arrows of the brothers are already insufficient, what should I do." ”

Hua An aimed at an enemy soldier, fired the last arrow, and shouted, "Soldiers, retreat." After speaking, he pulled Murong Yan and retreated along the mountain road.

In order to teach the enemy a lesson, Hua'an set up an ambush on the road from time to time, and after annihilating a small number of enemy troops, he quickly retreated backwards.

Hua'an and his party fled in front, and the enemy soldiers chased fiercely behind, chasing from night to day, whether it was Hua'an's soldiers of the capture camp or the enemy soldiers chasing behind, their bodies were a little unbearable.

There is no ready-made food in the mountains, hunger and fatigue torment the soldiers on both sides, in order to survive, the soldiers of both sides tacitly stop together, pick pine nuts in the mountains to satisfy hunger, and if you are lucky, you can hunt some mountain treasures.

Murong Yan, who had never walked such a long mountain road, was panting and leaning on a big tree, her face flushed with a little haggard.

Hua An picked a large handful of pine nuts from a nearby pine tree, handed them to Murong Yan, and said softly: "County Lord, eat some!" ”

"Hmm." Murong Yan answered, took the wild fruit in Hua An's hand, peeled off the hard shell, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Seeing that Murong Yan was eating well, Hua An asked, "County Lord, are you hungry!" If you go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Wolves and suffer this crime, you must regret it! ”

Murong Yan smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth and shook his head.

"I really don't regret it at all." Huaan asked again.

Murong Yan looked at Hua An in a daze, and pouted, "Am I dragging you down."

"No, it's just that the county lord suffers from this bump, Hua An looks a little distressed." Hua An said truthfully.

"Really, you feel sorry for others." Murong Yan's eyes were full of joy.

Hua An smiled indifferently at the corner of his mouth and nodded.

"Haha!" Murong Yan covered her mouth and laughed, her expression was so sweet.

"Big brother, the enemy is coming." Just when Hua An and Murong Yan were laughing, Wang San hurriedly rushed over.

Hua An was startled when he heard this, turned around and looked back, and sure enough, he saw thousands of enemy soldiers, holding weapons and slowly advancing forward.

"It's really ghostly, bring a bow." Hua An was chatting happily with Murong Yan, and was disturbed by the enemy, how could he not be angry in his heart.

A small soldier hurriedly handed a large bow and twenty sharp arrows into Hua An's hands.

"A few of you, protect the retreat of the county lord, Wang San, you take the remaining brothers with me to block the enemy." Huaan shouted. After saying that, he drew his bow and aimed it at an enemy officer.

"If you don't go, I won't go." Murong Yan walked behind Hua An and said with a pout.

Seeing this, Hua An suddenly felt dizzy in his head, and thought, this aunt and grandmother are really here, isn't this adding to the chaos?

"County Lord, obedient, go quickly." Hua An ordered Murong Yan softly.

Murong Yan shook his head.

"You guys, take the county lord away." Seeing that Murong Yan was disobedient, Hua An became angry.

Hearing the order, several soldiers forcibly pulled Murong Yan and retreated.

Hua An turned around, aimed at an enemy soldier, and shot a sharp arrow with a 'whoosh', hitting the enemy in the chest, and the enemy army fell down with the arrow, and at the same time, the location of Hua An and others was completely exposed, and the enemy found the location of Hua An and others, and suddenly, accelerated to kill Hua An.

"Soldiers, each release three arrows, retreat immediately after release, be quick." Huaan shouted.

"Whoosh...... Nearly a hundred soldiers heard the order and quickly shot out nearly 300 sharp arrows, and then, following behind Hua An, they quickly retreated backwards.

300 sharp arrows inflicted certain casualties on the enemy army, and at the same time slowed down the enemy's attack.

Hua An led his own troops to fight and walk, slowly retreating along the complex and steep mountain, and thousands of enemy soldiers chased from noon to evening, always keeping a stone's throw away from him.

In the evening, the sky suddenly changed, a strong north wind blew, and the weather suddenly became much colder, and the soldiers on both sides felt a chill.

Although it is already spring at this time, it is a season of birds and flowers, but Liaodong is located in the northeast of the Central Plains, and the temperature is much lower than that of the Central Plains.

Not long after the north wind blew, the sky actually drifted with goose feathers and heavy snow, and the heavy snow soon shrouded the entire Ten Thousand Wolf Valley in a foggy white.

And the location where Hua An and the others have walked will also leave footprints, which provides a good clue to the tracking enemy, they only need to follow the footprints all the way, and it is easy to find Hua An and the others.

At this time, the enemy soldiers were very excited, because Hua'an's 100 men and horses showed a very high fighting quality, and it was obvious that they were elite soldiers, and these enemy soldiers took it for granted that these 100 people must have a great background, even if Murong Hao was no longer among them, there must be other important people.

After all, the generals who can mobilize such elite men and horses must have an unusual identity, and the more resolutely the soldiers of the pro-military battalion resist, the more the enemy soldiers think that they are targeting important figures in the Yan army, and of course they will not give up tracking.

The footprints in the snow will leave clear clues for the enemy, which makes Hua'an distressed, but God wants to snow, no one can help it, and Hua'an can only let the soldiers be vigilant and send more sentries when they are resting.

When it was completely dark, the snow was already down to the ankles, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and the enemy pursuers lit a bonfire in a large open field, and more than 1,000 soldiers sat around the bonfire to warm themselves and resist the sudden cold snap.

Hua An and the soldiers of the pro-soldier team were also frozen enough, and Murong Yan was even more shivering.

Looking at the bonfire raised in the enemy camp two miles behind them, the soldiers were very yearning, because the bonfire could dispel the cold and ward off wild beasts.

Hua An suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, the soldiers of the enemy army were all baking the fire to keep warm, while his subordinates followed him to suffer from cold and starvation in the cold wind and snow, especially Murong Yan, as the county lord, was also cold.

At this time, the north wind did not stop roaring, and the temperature also dropped again and again, so that if the enemy pursuers did not have to do it, their subordinates would be frozen to death.

"Big brother, let's go! If you stand still, the soldiers will be frozen. Wang San shuddered and said anxiously.

Hearing this, Hua An looked at the soldiers around him, from the tired faces, it can be seen that the soldiers are already very tired, and they can use the heat generated by the exercise to resist the cold if they continue to march, but the soldiers have eaten less recently, and their bodies are constantly decaying.

The enemy pursuers can bake a fire, why can't we, anyway, the footprints have already leaked their whereabouts, and they are not afraid of lighting another bonfire, Hua An made up his mind, and walked forward three hundred steps with the soldiers, and stopped at the leeward of a small mountain peak.

"Soldiers, gather more firewood from within two hundred steps of the neighborhood, and we will also bake a fire to warm up." Huaan gave the order loudly.

"Big brother, the enemy pursuers are behind, won't we expose our whereabouts by doing this?" Wang San asked puzzled.

Hua An stared at the footprints on the ground and shouted: "The footprints have been left on the ground, our position has long been exposed, the weather is so cold, if you don't bake the fire, the soldiers will have to freeze to death." ”
