On the eighteenth day of the winter month, Xiangcheng ushered in the first snow of the year.

The snow in Xiangcheng is not the goose feather snow in the north, but the snow particles with rain, the snow particles are fine and small, and the fall on people's bodies is cold and cold, cold and wet makes people very uncomfortable.

This kind of weather is the best time to huddle in a room with a fire, roast a few sweet sweet potatoes, and chat with your family.

However, at the foot of the long and winding mountain, it is a different situation.

Rain and snow, Jiang Qi's army walked mightily on the winding and rugged mountain road, many soldiers were shivering from the cold, this was all over the field, looking at it, in addition to the mountains or mountains, the mountain wind in the ravine seemed to be more cold, blowing people's cheeks hurt.

The infantry walked on their feet, tired and tired, but they could still produce some heat;

And the cavalry before the army, although they were on horses, they were not so comfortable, the mountain roads were rugged, the horses were unstable, and the people were shaking up and down on the horses, not to mention, how much wind and snow were blown? In addition, the shoes on the feet were not warm, and the feet kept hanging on the edge of the horse's belly, freezing like ice cubes.

Jiang Qi is a general, and the supporting facilities are naturally better, but he is riding on a horse at the moment, and he also feels that the weather is really bad, if he goes on like this, before he starts fighting, the army is estimated to be frozen, how can this battle be fought?

Jiang Qi pondered for a moment, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Go, invite the military advisor!" ”

The soldiers left in response, and after a while, they rode over with the military advisor.

The military advisor sat on the horse and hugged his fist at Jiang Qi: "Why did the general summon me?" ”

Jiang Qichi asked: "Look, military advisor, this bad weather is really not suitable for marching, should I rest in place for a while before setting off?" ”

The military advisor groaned slightly, and said, "The general is right, it is really unfavorable for the army to go on like this, and it should be rested." ”

He said that he rode his horse and walked forward for more than ten steps, looked ahead against the wind, and said loudly: "The front is the West Plains, why don't the generals smash the front and set up camp and rest the army?" ”

When Jiang Qi heard this, he was overjoyed, and ordered the troops to speed up their pace, and when they walked to the front of the gangster Xiyuan, they could rest.

Hearing this, the army was greatly excited, and the long procession moved forward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than an hour, a military tent was erected in the western plains, a bonfire was lit, and breakfast was cooked.

Although the Qiang people live in the southwest of Dayou all the year round, and have their own set of methods to deal with the rugged mountain roads, they still obviously feel a little difficult at the moment.

Jiang begged for the soldiers of the three armies, and specially ordered everyone to eat a little meat today, a bowl of beef gnocchi soup went down to the stomach, and the Qiang soldiers patted their full stomachs with satisfaction, only to feel that their whole body was warm.

"The general is so good, seeing that we are marching hard, he actually rewarded the beef!"

"Yes, yes, I can eat such delicious white flour beef today, even if I die in battle, I admit it."

The Qiang people are barren, and there are countless people who usually eat wild vegetables and roots, and those who are a little more solid will eat white noodles once or twice a year, as for meat, it is really a luxury, and only the families of dignitaries can afford to eat it.

This is also the reason why the Qiang people have always spared no effort to attack Dayou for a hundred years, and every time they win or lose, they can always take some food and cloth from Dayou, and if they are lucky, they can also snatch many women.

It's only hateful, since Xue Tingsong, that is, Xue Yao's father, became the commander of the Huyou Army, their Qiang people attacked the city again and again, but they were defeated and retreated every year.

What's even more hateful is that Xue Tingsong, a cunning old guy, even the small county towns around Xinxiang with bigger sesame seeds, he has tried his best to send troops to garrison them, so that every time the Qiang people send troops to attack Dayou, they want to bypass the Huyou army and go to the surrounding small cities to grab something, but they always can't grab it.

The psychology of the Qiang people is very strange: if you don't let me eat meat, forget it, and you won't even give me a little bone! It's really hateful, see that I don't disturb your sleep.

But they never thought that this piece of meat was Da You's meat, and you, an outsider, blatantly came to grab it, how could Da You tolerate you?

For many years, the two countries have been at war and in a stalemate.

It was not until recent years that Dayou was embattled and crumbling, and the Qiang State was thriving under the vigorous development and reform of the new monarch Jiang Partridge, which gave the Qiang people the courage to send troops in a big way.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, the situation took a sharp turn.

Jiang Qi was the youngest general in the Qiang Kingdom, he was a nameless orphan, and when he was about to starve to death in the war, he was rescued by Wuyi, took him with him, gave him food, taught him to read and write, and planned for him.

For so many years, Wuyi has been a father-like existence in his heart.

But such the only person who was good to him died in the hands of the Huyou army, the despicable and shameless Xue Yao, reversed his word, double-faced, pretended to negotiate, but killed General Wuyi behind his back.

Jiang Qi was heartbroken, facing the wind and snow, looking at the endless Xiyuan, which was covered with a thin layer of snow, and the mountains were full of white......

Wait a minute?

What the hell is a little bit of black and red gradually pouring out of the white?

Before he could react, he heard someone under him shouting: "Alert! Alert! Tiger Suke Army Raid! ”

Jiang Qi was suddenly startled, grabbed the long knife in his hand, stepped on his horse, and shouted: "All the soldiers and soldiers, kill me and avenge General Wuyi!" ”

"Kill!!"

In the face of the Tiger You army that flew from the sky, the angry roar of the 300,000 Qiang people echoed in the plain.

Xue Yao led the 60,000 Tiger You army to rush down from the west, while Gu Hezhao in the east took the lead, and the Gu family army behind him was three feet away, and Gu Yinxia, the deputy general of the Gu family army, shook his head behind.

How could this odd-tempered young man fight like this? What is the use of a man running into an enemy camp?

However, the shouts from all sides shook the sky, and Gu Youzhao couldn't hear the sound of his call, so Gu Yinxia had no choice but to whip his horse whip and speed up the charge.

All of a sudden, the originally quiet and empty Xiyuan became lively, the Huyou army and the Gu family army attacked from both sides, surrounding the Qiang people in the plain, and suddenly the mountains were all over the field, the fighting horns shook the sky, the flags fluttered, and the wails were endless.

Gu Youzhao has learned a magical swordsmanship since he was a child, and the sword in his hand is like growing in his hand, so fast that the enemy can only see an afterimage, and before he can see what kind of weapon it is, he has already fallen to the ground.

On weekdays, he was silent, and when he arrived on the battlefield, he was eerily quiet, and the people around him were either wailing in pain, or shouting to strengthen their courage, only him, thin lips pursed, a pair of eyes that did not fluctuate without blinking, quietly focusing on the stabbing and retraction of the sword move.

Gu Yinxia was a few zhang away from his right back, and the afterglow skimmed the movement on his side, and praised in his heart, who taught this young man with a strange temper, who taught this swordsmanship that was as fast as the wind and lightning?

But this is not the time to think about this.

He quickly unleashed a knife from a Qiang man, and with a spear, the Qiang man's head and neck immediately separated, and one head spun around a few times, and his face up stopped, and the eyes on his head were still open.
