In the depths of winter, the northern regions ushered in the coldest time. This kind of cold, even the Tieli people who have lived in the Northland for a long time are a little uncomfortable. The people and officials of Kushikawa Castle established a supply transportation route with the people and officials of Kyoto. Most of the food that was brought in was not food, but firewood and clothing to resist the cold.

On the battlefield, carrying weights can reduce damage to some extent, but if the weight is too high, it will weaken the ability to move on the battlefield. The armor of the Empire has always been the finest, light and hard. But in the North, Imperial soldiers could not withstand such bitter cold. The advantage of their armor is gone.

These soldiers' ability to withstand cold is far beyond ordinary people, but this year's Northern Regions is too cold, and it has gone beyond the scope of some anomalies, which can be said to be extremely strange. This cold is not supposed to belong to the world.

The soldiers of the Empire suddenly understood why the Tieli had erupted in such a terrible force in this war. Maybe they've reached a dead end.

But the two countries have a long-standing feud, and neither side will have any sympathy for the other in this fight.

The war between the empire and Tieli has begun, as a melee between the three major countries, the empire was sandwiched by Tieli and the Wanzang tribe, and sent 100,000 troops to Hongcheng, while the other 100,000 troops stayed in Shuangchuan, no matter which side, the troops were at a disadvantage compared to the enemy country.

In a great battle a month ago, the dragon general Xiang Wu went to the depths of the Fog Prison Valley alone with an invincible force, killing 10,000 people, and this battle made Xiang Wu's prestige almost a nightmare for the Tieli people. But the Tieli Kingdom is different from the Wanzang tribe, and the Tieli Kingdom has a real top master, Heredub.

The king of the Tieli people had already stepped into the extreme intention many years ago, and in the face of 10,000 cloud cavalry, the ebony divine bow, and the iron spear of Heleiyue, although Xiang Wu had achieved the results, the price he paid was very large. Even after recuperating from his injuries for a month, Xiang Wu still could not recover. The generals of the empire are naturally stronger than the Tieli Kingdom, but the real gap between the empire and the Tieli Kingdom is in the strength of the soldiers. No matter how strong Xiang Wu is, no matter how strong Diyue Luo is in the Western Regions, they can have 10,000 enemies, but what when more enemies attack?

The soldiers of the Tieli Kingdom are very strong, especially in the Northern Regions, they travel in the wind and snow all the year round, although they cannot treat the ice and snow as nothing, but compared to the Imperial soldiers who are unable to move due to excessive cold, the Tieli soldiers are far superior to the Imperial soldiers in terms of their ability to march and their will to fight.

In Xiang Wu's view, this winter was a cold winter for the empire, and it was a catastrophe. But even he didn't expect that the soldiers of Tie Li Kingdom had taken some kind of medicine. This medicine made the Tieli people, who were already stronger than the soldiers of the Empire, even stronger. In the face of the Tieli people, the Imperial soldiers were like jackals who met the tiger lion.

Three days after Xiang Wuqi attacked the Fog Prison Valley, the martial arts forces arrived one after another. And Tieli Kingdom no longer rushed to march because of that surprise attack, but not long after, the 30,000 troops of Tieli Kingdom sent troops from the Fog Prison Valley and marched to Frost River, and for a while, the empire fell into the biggest crisis.

30,000 fought with the imperial army for nearly half a month, and the empire annihilated the 30,000 army of the Tieli Kingdom at the cost of 58,000 people. In today's empire, there are still the last 30,000 troops left, and Huang Sheng, the commander of the Divine Soldier Absolute General Battalion, was beheaded by Wujian, the fifth general of Tieli Kingdom. The empire withdrew twenty miles, only ten miles away from the gate of Frost River, and there was no way to retreat.

Even if there is Xiang Wu in this war, even if Xiang Wu destroys the other party's most elite 10,000 cloud cavalry, compared to the past, the strength of the Tieli people after taking the medicine is even better than that of the cloud cavalry team of the past, and in the cold wind and snow, these Tieli people are stronger. If it weren't for the female disciples of Yunci Valley who came to the rescue with all their might, the last battle would probably have been even more tragic, but Rao was like this, and the Tieli people still showed nearly twice the combat power of the Emperor ** team. On the battlefield of the Fog Prison Valley and the Frost River, there is only one branch of the Hades Arm, and there is almost no possibility of using military strategy.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and Tie Li at this time is undoubtedly the most brave northern lion.

Many people began to think that maybe the frost river would be lost, and the empire would not survive this winter. And the Tieli people now have an army of 60,000, as well as the most elite cloud cavalry of 10,000. No one knows how strong the Cloud Cavalry is after taking the medicine, but now there are only 30,000 defenders left in the northern region of the empire, which is a defeat for the empire.

Although the Tieli people were afraid of Xiang Wu, the news of Xiang Wu's serious injury finally leaked out, and without the emperor ** team led by Xiang Wu himself, in the eyes of the Ebony and Wujian brothers, there was nothing to be afraid of. Not long after the end of the war, the third attack of the Tieli arrived.

30,000 Tieli troops. Today's empire has only 30,000 troops, and the Tieli people believe that another 30,000 troops will be enough to take Frost River City.

At this time, an old man came to the barracks.

Li Nianyun and Zhong Yunxiu almost never left Xiang Wu's side, and the injuries caused by the duel between the Extreme Intention Realm, even if Li Nianyun, who was a great success, joined forces with Zhong Yunxiu, the heir of the Orthodox Medical Dao and the Great Heaven Creation Technique, although they could alleviate the injury, they still couldn't restore Xiang Wu to his peak state.

Xiang Wu has been on the battlefield all his life, but he is quite familiar with the rivers and lakes, and after seeing this old man, his always stern and murderous face can obviously feel eased.

"The old-timers are finally willing to help me." Xiang Wu said.

"In fact, I have been helping the general deal with the Tieli people all these years, and the advantages of the Tieli people are not to be feared in my opinion. But now that there are many people in Tieli, my empire has become a weak party, and my disciples of the Hanyin Sect may be able to block the Tieli army for more than ten days, and I hope that the general will recuperate well for more than ten days, and the victory or defeat of this war will ultimately depend on the general. "The old man was dressed in a yellow shirt, with no beard, no hair, no beard, no hair, and even no eyebrows, just dry skin and exaggerated wrinkles, a pestle and a cane, but the appearance of an old dragon and a bell could not be underestimated.

Because he is the sect master of the Hanyin Sect, he is ranked eighth in the world, and if he is younger, he is not much better than Xuansheng Twelve, who is ranked seventh. He is an old man of Huangquan. The highest martial arts in this world may be Ning Wuxian is Xiang Wu, but the most terrifying person can only be the old man Huangquan.

Most of the disciples of the Hanyin Sect are ascetic cultivators, they have survived in the wind and snow all their lives, and the exercises they practice are also to break the enemy's frost and cold qi with cold qi. If there is really someone in the world who can feed on the cold as clothing, it must not be a Tieli person, but a disciple of the Hanyin Sect.

Xiang Wu nodded, he didn't recuperate from his injuries at ease for a while, Xiang Wu, who was concerned about the battlefield, went into battle to kill the enemy regardless of his injuries, but now Xiang Wu's strength has been greatly weakened. Going to war again is just an injury on top of a wound. Now Xiang Wu can rest assured. Because Xiang Wu, who was a top martial artist, had always understood that compared to the Hanyin Sect, the Tieli people's resistance to ice and snow was almost negligible. In the dazzling blizzard, on the snow that was enough to submerge half a horse, the disciples of the Cold Yin Sect were definitely the most terrifying existence in the world.

Xiang Wu said: "In today's empire, there is no possibility to defeat the Tieli people, and the only ones who can rely on are your friends in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Decades ago, there was also such a thing, when the Xingchen Sect and the Eight Great Sects joined forces with the empire ruled by the royal family of the Chu State. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Although I am old, I have finally found the future of the Cold Hidden Sect. General, rest assured, in this battle, I, the Hanyin Sect, will let the Tieli people understand what the Lord of Ice and Snow is. ”

……

Wujian is the fifth general of Tieli Kingdom, good at using double axes, compared to his brother Ebony, Wujian has terrifying power, such a general can definitely make the opponent tremble on the battlefield. Although the empire withdrew twenty miles, the Tieli people today are like tireless beasts, and they have never felt tired even when they march at night.

When the sky was white, Wujian had already led the 30,000 Tieli army to the front line, and from a distance, he could vaguely see the encampment of the empire.

After the death of the fourth general, Aksu, Wujian is most likely to go up, and at this moment he leads the army, and the desire for victory is even stronger, and he needs to be meritorious. He's going to be the fourth general.

Even the war horses were a little tired, but the soldiers below were full of fighting spirit, in Wujian's opinion, if this medicine had been used earlier, they Tieli people would have been able to sit in Frost River City and enjoy the warmth by now.

The scouts ahead reported back that the empire was not arrayed. Dark tip is overjoyed.

"The Empire would never have expected us to attack so far at night, soldiers, and kill all the Empire's people!"

Echo the call.

The Tieli people in the drug state have a crazy fighting spirit. Almost every Tieli soldier took such a drug, only the generals and a few soldiers did not take it.

The black tip kicked the war horse under him, this is a war horse that has been surviving in the north, and it is extremely resistant to cold, but because of the bad weather caused by the spread of the snow demon zone, even such a war horse seems a little uncomfortable.

The 30,000 Tieli army had already approached the Imperial Company Camp, and before they could enter the Imperial Company Camp, they needed to cross a thick snow area of about five miles.

The pace of the march slowed down a lot. Each step plunges half of your body into the snow. Wujian was a little anxious, constantly urging the war horse to move forward quickly, but the thick snow always blocked everyone.

In the process of marching, suddenly Wujian heard a scream, and one after another screams kept coming. Wujian turned around, and the Tieli army, which was separated by thick snow, was in formation, and every few breaths, dozens of soldiers were suddenly dragged into the snow by some kind of force, and Wujian had excellent eyesight, and he could vaguely see that the snow was dyed red. Not long after, hundreds of soldiers were dragged into the thick snow. Unable to get up again.

He suddenly became alert and shouted, "The whole army is on alert! There is an enemy attack! ”

The scattered soldiers began to try to set up their formation, but they found that there were huge rocks in the snow blocking them, and the black tip looked at it and felt that the boulders were arranged like some kind of formation. He secretly said that it was not good.

Although the army began to be on alert, it did not slow down the rapid disappearance of the Tieli soldiers......

It's as if there are countless potholes in the snow, and if you accidentally step on it, you will fall down, and you will never recover. There were screams all the time, not fast, and there were dozens or dozens of people every few breaths. But it just can't be stopped.

Wujian faintly felt that it was not a trap, and under such snow, the trap would inevitably be filled with thick snow.

Could it be a living person?

Wujian couldn't believe his inference, in the ice and snow under the extremely cold sky, it was impossible for the imperial soldiers to withstand such a severe cold. But if they weren't alive, why would a soldier be dragged into the snow even if he was standing still?

Soldiers were constantly being dragged into the snow, and sweat was oozing from their black foreheads on such a cold day. He couldn't figure out what was going on, or maybe he thought of something, but he couldn't believe his own reasoning.

For a moment, every Tieli soldier felt a strange and terrifying aura. They held their breath and stared at the ground not far away. But the sound of goose feathers and snow in the cold wind masked everything.

They seem to be in a sea of ice and snow, and in the sea, there are dozens of hungry sharks.

In a short period of time, more than 700 Tieli people have disappeared, or died. Because no one can get up from the snow, even the Tieli people will freeze to death if they are buried in such snow for a moment.

Wujian was already convinced that it would not be the people of the Emperor's ** team who were lurking in the snow, and everyone knew that the Imperial people were not cold-tolerant. Moreover, if the imperial army is deployed, it is impossible to remain silent.

So, the answer can only be...... The group of dervishes.

Blacktip shouted: "The whole army retreats!" ”

The Tieli army began to slowly retreat, but it didn't last long, and dozens of figures suddenly jumped out under the thick snow, their costumes were indeed the costumes of the Central Plains people, but they were different from the Central Plains people, because in such weather, their clothes were too thin. Each of them had an extremely cold expression, like an emotionless killer assassin.

Wujian felt that the temperature between heaven and earth was obviously so low, but it was still getting lower for a moment. In the process of the Tieli army retreating less than a hundred paces, dozens of strange people who suddenly jumped out of the snow once again slashed the Tieli people at an alarming speed.

Wujian didn't care about the war horse under his crotch, and began to flee with light skills, he finally determined who the opponent was, and when he saw this group of strange people jumping out of the snow, Wujian had no intention of fighting.

The frequency of the screams was faster and faster, but in the face of this group of strange people, even the soldiers of Tieli in a state of medicine were powerless. They were frozen.

If this winter is already a little unusually cold, then at this moment, Wujian can feel that the temperature in this land is about to catch up with the ice capital.

As the black tip of the peak realm of the eight leaves, it instantly runs the internal strength to keep out the cold. However, the other Tieli soldiers did not have this ability. The army kept retreating, but in the process of retreating, soldiers were constantly frozen into ice sculptures.

Those dozens of weirdos didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of cold, they were the source of the cold!

Han Yin Sect.

Wujian never expected that the empire would move the people of the Hanyin Sect, and the Hanyin Sect had been ascetics for generations. They are extremely low-key in the Central Plains Martial Arts, which is not different from the Haotian Sect's occupation of Hongcheng, and the low-key of the Hanyin Sect is truly indifferent. Over the years, the Tieli people have been fighting against the Wanzang tribe of the empire. But the people of the Han Yin Sect never participated.

And the people of Tieli also knew that the relationship between the empire and the Jianghu warriors had been discordant for a long time, and their repeated advances would definitely not provoke the people of the Han Yin Sect. Because no matter how strong the people of the Tieli Nation were in the ice and snow, they could not compare with the people of the Han Yin Sect who truly cultivated the Heavenly Frost and Cold Qi. If the descendants of the snow devils in the eyes of the imperial people are the Tieli people, then the descendants of the snow demons in the eyes of the Tieli people are the people of the Hanyin Sect.

Among the nine major factions in the rivers and lakes, the strongest must not be the Hanyin Sect, but for the Tieli people, the threat of the Hanyin Sect is definitely the greatest. Because the ascetic cultivators of the Cold Hidden Sect could not feel the cold at all, they could hide in the snow for more than ten days, and Tie Li, who had been dealing with wind and snow all year round, would understand what a terrifying ability this was.

The entire Northern Regions, if it is said to be the main battlefield of the Tieli people, then such a main battlefield is probably a paradise in the eyes of the people of the Hanyin Sect.

Entering the northern region in the wind and snow to make the people of the Han Yin Sect the enemy is like sinking into the deep sea and making enemies of the sea beasts. Far from being an obstacle to the people of the Hanyin Sect, the wind and snow were their weapons.

The Tieli people and the Imperial people have actually weakened a lot in the face of wind and snow. It's just that the degree is different, but in the face of wind and snow, the disciples of the Cold Yin Sect will become stronger instead. That's the difference.

For decades, the Tieli people have not offended the Hanyin Sect, but they don't want the people of the Hanyin Sect to hinder them from invading Frost River City, but now, seeing is believing, and the empire has obtained the help of the Hanyin Sect.

He even threw away one of the twin axes in an attempt to escape faster than he could. The horror of the Han Yin Sect has been carved into the bones of the Tieli people.

The disciples of the Hanyin Sect sent by the old man of Huangquan sent forty people, all of whom were masters in the sect. The lowest realm also has the realm of five leaves.

In the eyes of the Imperials, they absolutely couldn't believe that in the wind and snow, there was any kind of army that could rely on only forty men to stop the advance of the Tieli people in the state of medicine.

But the current situation was more exaggerated than they could have imagined, after confirming that it was the people of the Hanyin Sect who were ambushed, Wujian directly thought of retreating, and had no other thoughts. As the fifth general, Wujian didn't even have the idea of fighting when he cultivated at the peak of the Eight Leaves realm, so he took off his armor and abandoned his horse, and hurriedly fled.

But even so, the black tip did not escape. He ran frantically, urging the light power to the extreme, although he couldn't step on the snow without a trace, but at this moment, his speed was even more than many disciples of the Cold Yin Sect couldn't catch.

Just when Wu Jian thought he was about to run away, he saw an old man ten feet away in front of him, with no hair and a cane, standing in the snow waiting for him.
