Xihai Lake is 800 miles in circumference, and there is not a trace of waves on the huge surface of the lake, like a huge mirror, shining in the sun. It turns out that every winter, the West Sea begins to freeze, and the ice is up to two feet thick. Although the lake ice also has a slightly salty taste, the salt content has been greatly reduced, and it can be used for drinking water.

There are dozens of tents on the edge of the lake, like a camp. Seeing them coming back, the camp suddenly became lively, welcoming many men, women, and children, all of whom were from the tribe of Lidoyun.

At the forefront is a pretty girl. The girl wore a sheepskin jacket and a floral skirt underneath, dozens of fine twisted braids on her head, and her face was as red as a ripe apple. The girl rushed closer, grabbed Xiang Lidoyun's hand, and said, "Brother, are you okay?" Listening to them scared me to death. ”

Liu Ziqiu said with a smile: "The girl is going to the sunny day." ”

Xiang Li Qingtian blinked his big eyes that were as shining as black gems, tilted his head and said, "You almost cut my brother?" ”

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, now I am friends with your brother." ”

"Haha, you finally admit that we are friends!" Xiang Liduoyun was overjoyed, and commanded repeatedly, "On a sunny day, quickly bring these guests from afar to drink, they are already thirsty." ”

Xiang Li Qingtian agreed, and happily led the soldiers to the tent, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help asking, "This is your stockade?" ”

"We still have a hundred miles to go from our stockade, and this is just a temporary campsite." Xiang Liduoyun shook his head, pointed to the lake in the distance and said, "You see there is an island there, called Haixin Mountain. Every February, we have to drive our mares to the mountains, and if we're lucky, we might be able to conceive a dragon. ”

"Dragonseed?"

"When the lake freezes, wild horses come to the place, and the foals that are conceived at this time are often very strong, and they are good horses that travel thousands of miles every day. It's a pity that it's February now, and it's all up to luck whether you can get pregnant or not. ”

Liu Ziqiu said strangely: "Then why didn't you come earlier?" ”

Xiang Li Duoyun sighed and said, "Why don't we want to come early, but it's a pity that this is here in winter." ”

Liu Ziqiu almost blurted out that when Da Sui defeated Murong Fuyun, they would be able to come here in winter. But when the words came to his lips, Liu Ziqiu shrank back again. Driving the mare to the Haixin Mountain in winter is the tradition of various tribes in Tuyuhun. He's just a small guy and isn't qualified to decide who goes to the island first.

At this time, a crisp voice rang out: "Big man, give you water." ”

Liu Ziqiu came back to his senses and recognized that it was Xiang Li Qingtian, so he couldn't help laughing, thanked him, and took the crockpot. He was really thirsty, too, and raised the crockpot and drank it with a grunt.

Xiang Li Qingtian looked at Liu Ziqiu intently, and suddenly asked, "You really defeated my brother?" He's the best warrior of all! ”

Liu Ziqiu wiped his face and said with a smile: "That's not counted, I was a sneak attack." ”

Surrounded by people who are going to Liduoyun, the girl in front of him is still a girl who is going to Liduoyun, Liu Ziqiu naturally wants to save some face for him.

Who knew that Xiang Li Duoyun didn't appreciate it, and said with a serious face: "No, even if I do it openly, I may not be able to beat you." You have military affairs with you, and I will not delay you. When your military affairs are over, you must come to our village, and you and I will have a happy fight! ”

When it came to military affairs, Liu Ziqiu's face suddenly became solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "When this is over, Liu will definitely come to visit!" ”

The team quickly regrouped, and Liu Ziqiu asked Li Duoyun about the path to Niling. Although he was also the leader of the Qiang people, the news of Liduoyun was far less informed than that of Tuoba Mumi, and he did not know that a major war was about to take place between the Great Sui and Tuyuhun, so he pointed out the way very readily.

In fact, Liu Ziqiu said that he was here to carry out military affairs, and he faintly felt that there were some problems with Li Duoyun. As a tribe attached to Tuyuhun, the Xianbei people were not too good to them, as long as the Sui army did not come to fight them, he would not care.

However, the information provided by Xiang Li Duoyun surprised Liu Ziqiu. According to the original plan, the team was to travel around the southern shore of Xihai Lake. And Xiang Li Duoyun told him that if he walked like that, he would inevitably pass through Fu Qi City, which was the royal city of Tuyuhun. Such important information is not marked on the map, such a map is simply too bad. If it weren't for the chance to meet Xiangli Duoyun and the two sides made friends again, wouldn't they have to throw themselves into the net?

After bidding farewell to the cloudy past, Liu Ziqiu and his entourage walked around the north shore of Xihai Lake. This time the luck was not bad, after walking more than fifty miles, I saw a snowfield, and the oxen-pulled plough came in handy again. With the climbing plow, the speed of the march was noticeably quicker, and the people were much easier, and at dawn the next day, they finally arrived at the mud ridge.

Niling is located on Datong Mountain, to the west of Che I Zhen Mountain, on the choke point of Murong Fuyun's advance and retreat, and its strategic location is very important. Such an important place, the Tuyuhun people are likely to garrison troops to guard it in advance.

Liu Ziqiu didn't dare to be careless, and after a short pause, he and Gui Haiqiu took their group of people up the mountain to explore the way. Liu Ziqiu brought three people in front, and Gui Haiqiu took the other four people behind, a hundred steps away from each other, in case something unexpected happened, and someone would go back to report the news. I was cautious along the way, and until the top of the mountain, I didn't see a single figure. Gui Haiqiu hurriedly waved the flag and signaled to the bottom of the mountain.

According to Liu Ziqiu's suggestion, it took a lot of effort for everyone to get the plows and oxen up the mountain. In this regard, Liu Yu was a little puzzled and said: "The dry food we brought can last for five days, and General Yuwenlang's military horses should also arrive at that time." You don't still want to kill cattle to satisfy your hunger, do you? ”

Those climbing plows were all made of wood, and according to Liu Yu's idea, Liu Ziqiu was probably going to chop them for firewood.

But I heard Liu Ziqiu say: "When the reinforcements will arrive, no one can be sure." In case the Tuyuhun people figure it out and want to recapture the mud ridge, these forty cows may be able to be a surprise soldier. ”

Liu Yu suddenly realized: "You want to set up a fire bull array!" ”

Liu Ziqiu's worries were quickly verified. The soldiers, who had been traveling for several days and nights, had just squinted for two hours before they were awakened by the soldiers in charge of watching. At the foot of the mountain, the people shouted that the horses neighed, and a large group of cavalry appeared, and it was the Tuyuhun people who came.

The reason why these Tuyuhun people came so quickly was all thanks to Yuwen Jing. A heavy snow covered Liu Ziqiu's footprints, so that Yu Wenjing had no idea, so he led the crowd to the west, but walked to the northeast of Datong Mountain.

Xianbei people are good at riding and shooting, although the army is stationed in Che I Zhen Mountain, the scout cavalry is scattered far away, and they have already discovered Yuwen Jing's movements, and they also reported to the front of the army. Murong Fuyun, as the lord of the country, is naturally not a fool. After thinking about it for a while, he figured out that the purpose of the Sui army was to cut off his back road. So he immediately divided 3,000 cavalry to occupy the mud ridge in front of the Sui army.

Leading this team of Tuyuhun cavalry is Murong Fuyun's brother Murong Ding Han, who is good at using a mace and has the courage of ten thousand people. He relied on his subordinates to be cavalry, and he was familiar with the path, so he must have come faster than the Sui army, and he didn't expect that there was an ambush on the top of the mountain, so he just waved his army up the mountain with a big smile.

Although there is a thick layer of snow on the slopes, the Tuyuhun people's riding skills are superb and are not affected in the slightest. The 3,000 cavalry did not follow the ranks, and rushed towards the mud ridge in a chaotic manner.

The enemy was outnumbered, and Liu Yu couldn't help but get nervous and asked, "What should I do?" Let the fire bull out? ”

Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "Use the snow to climb the plow first!" ”

Liu Yu hesitated: "Snow climbing plow? ”

"Yes, Snow Plow!" Liu Ziqiu quickly took a climbing plow, pushed the plow down the mountain, and said, "Pile up stones, this is a powerful pulley!" ”

Forty snow plows were lined up on the top of the mountain, and each snow plough was piled with six or seven large stones, which were fastened with fine twine. These stones were collected when they first came up the mountain, and they were better than bows and arrows in the mountains.

The Tuyuhun cavalry had reached the halfway point of the mountain, and they could even be heard laughing on the top of the mountain.

"Put!" Liu Ziqiu gave an order and cut the hemp rope with a knife. Forty snow plows slowly slid down the hill, faster and faster.

Murong Ding** walked casually towards the top of the mountain, and suddenly heard a loud noise, and when he looked up, he was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly retreat, retreat!" ”

In fact, before he could give the order, the Tuyuhun cavalry saw the galloping "pulley" and began to turn their horses' heads in a panic. It's just that it's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and their speed is no faster than the "pulley" modified from the snow plow.

With a "boom", one of the cavalrymen could not dodge and was hit hard by the "pulley". The huge impact of the high-speed movement of the "pulley" on the snow actually cut off the four hooves of the war horse, and the rider on the horse fell to the ground fiercely, and before he could get up, he was run over by the pulley, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

This is not a real iron block after all, and after each block hits two or three people, it falls apart. But the rocks piled up on the cart continued to do their job. There was a flight in mid-air, and then it was smashed down hard. Some of them rolled quickly on the snow, and the bigger and bigger they became, until they finally became a big snowball, and where they passed, people turned on their backs.

Murong Ding Han was at the end of the team, he relied on his superb riding skills, dodged and moved, and he was able to pass a big stone flying in the sky, but he saw a big snowball rushing straight over. Murong Ding Han let out a loud shout and jumped up. He sat down on the horse, but he couldn't dodge it, and was hit by a snowball, and with a scream, rolled down the hill with the snowball.

Rao is Murong Ding Han has always been bold, and when he saw this situation, his legs inevitably became a little weak, and he sat on the ground and slid down the mountain.

The Sui soldiers on the top of the mountain cheered in unison, this battle was fought so happily that it almost didn't cost a single soldier, and more than half of the three thousand Tuyuhun cavalry had been lost.

Suddenly, a horn sounded at the foot of the mountain, and the Tuyuhun cavalry, which had just retreated, regrouped. This time, instead of climbing up in a swarm, they formed a four-way column, and the distance between them was much wider.

Liu Yu waved his hand and shouted: "Quick, bring all the cows over!" ”
