"This ......"

The adjutant general looked at Huo Qubing and said, "General, do we really want to choose to attack? The enemy army on the opposite side is the Ice and Snow Dynasty!"

Huo Quzhi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The icy environment of the Dongbo Mountain Range has a great impact on the soldiers of the Ice and Snow Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness has decreased a lot now, and they are not our opponents at all. ”

"In addition, we attacked the enemy army in the past, causing huge losses to the enemy army, causing the enemy's morale to fluctuate. ”

"In this situation, we have a huge chance of winning when we attack. ”

"There is no reason for us to miss such a great opportunity!"

Huo Quzhi's words are very affirmative.

As a general leading the troops, he knows very well that opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting.

If he misses the opportunity to hit Zu Zhi's army this time, he may never have a chance again.

Moreover, once the enemy army is given a chance to recover, with the strength of the Ice and Snow Dynasty's army, it can still pose a threat to its own army.

So, this is a great opportunity and one that you should definitely not miss!

Of course, Huo Quzhi is not a crazy gambler, he has a back hand, guarding against possible accidents.

With 300,000 troops in Manjiao City, with enough equipment to defend the city, it can hold on for more than a month.

This is his backhand, ensuring that even if there is an accident in this attack, Barbarian Jiaocheng will not fall directly into the hands of the Ice and Snow Dynasty.

Although Huo Quzhi didn't think that there would be any accidents in this situation, the preparation should still be kept.

As for the attacking army, as long as there are no unexpected people, an army of 700,000 is completely sufficient.

Early the next morning, Huo Qubing led his troops from Manjiao City and rushed to the garrison of the Ice and Snow Dynasty outside the Dongbo Mountains.

At noon, the traces of Huo Quai's army were discovered by scouts arranged by Zu Zhi.

The scout immediately reported the information to Zu Zhi.

"Sure enough, it's coming!"

Zu Zhi learned of the situation and sighed.

He had long known that Huo Qubing would definitely have a follow-up attack, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

From yesterday's attack to today, only one day has passed.

He thought that for the second wave of Huo Quai's attack, the army would have to prepare for at least two or three days, and maybe even three or five days.

After all, it is not a simple matter for hundreds of thousands, or even more than a million troops, to go on a campaign.

But he didn't expect that in just one day, Huo Quai's second wave of attack was coming.

"General, what should we do?" the adjutant general looked a little flustered.

Although Zu Zhi had already said before that Huo Quzhi would definitely have a second wave of attacks, no one expected it to come so quickly.

Although Zu Zhi had already arranged for the army to build bows and crossbows to defend against cavalry attacks, in just one day, the tired army did not build much at all.

Trying to block a large-scale cavalry attack is tantamount to a dream.

Coupled with the low morale of the soldiers and the severe decline in combat effectiveness, Zu Zhi's Zhenshen Banner had already been used before.

All these circumstances add up, and the lieutenant will never feel anything but despair.

"What's the panic?"

Zu Zhi snorted coldly: "Even if our fortifications have not been completed yet, we are still strong soldiers of the Ice and Snow Dynasty, how can we compare to those Kingdom soldiers of the Southern Yan Kingdom?"

"Pass the order, the whole army is ready to fight!"

"Yes!"

The adjutant general did not dare to say more, and went down to give orders.

The soldiers of the Ice and Snow Dynasty are the elite after all, and although their morale is low, they are still condensed under Zu Zhi's orders, waiting for the arrival of Huo Quai's army.

Huo Quai's side rushed to the combat position in the afternoon of the same day.

At first glance, he saw the condensed military formation of Zu Zhi's army, and sighed: "Zu Zhi is worthy of being the general of the Ice and Snow Dynasty, in this case, it is not easy to condense the soldiers with low morale into a complete military formation. ”

"His military ability is very strong, although he is not ranked in the top five on the list of military generals in Yuzhou, but he is not a general. But ......"

Looking at Zu Zhi's military formation, Huo Quzhi said: "The military formation in front of you looks strong, but in fact it is vulnerable!"

"General, what do you mean by that?" the adjutant general looked at Huo Qubing suspiciously.

Huo Quzhi explained: "The morale of the enemy army is already low, Zu Zhi knew our traces in advance, and forcibly formed a military formation, which seems to be very powerful, but in fact, the military formation without the support of the morale of the army is just a paper tiger!"

"Nanyan's Huo Quai, dare to come out and talk to Lao Tzu!"

As soon as Huo Quzhi's words fell, Zu Zhi's voice came out.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Huo Qu was a little surprised, looking at Zu Zhi who walked out of the military formation, he didn't expect him to shout in front of the formation.

Driving the horse out, Huo Quzhi looked at Zu Zhi from a distance, and said loudly: "Zu Zhi, I respect you as the general of the Ice and Snow Dynasty, I will give you a chance today, and now immediately lead the troops to surrender to me, I can guarantee your lives!"

"Hahahaha!"

Zu Zhi heard the laughter and said, "Huo Quai, Huo Quai, you are really funny!"

"Do you think that you, a small military general of the Southern Yan Kingdom, are qualified to say this to my dignified dynasty general?"

"Today, it's General Ben and me who should be given a chance!"

Staring at Huo Quai, Zu Zhi said loudly: "If you lead the troops back at this time and give up Barbarian Jiaocheng, I can let my army show mercy to your soldiers in Nanyan." ”

"You're pretty confident. Huo Quzhi shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Since that's the case, then let me see on the battlefield where your confidence comes from." ”

"The whole army obeys orders. ”

"Charge!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Huo Qubing gave an order, and the army immediately launched a charge and rushed towards the enemy's repulsion array.

When Zu Zhi saw it, his face changed slightly, he didn't expect Huo Quzhi to directly order the charge without saying a word.

However, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and sneered: "Sure enough, there are no infantry under Huo Quai's command!"

The adjutant general's expression was also more relaxed when he heard this, and he said, "Without the infantry, we can't raise our shields to block our rain of arrows." ”

"Although we don't have many crossbow formations now, with our powerful crossbows, it is enough to deal a devastating blow to Huo Quai's cavalry!"

"That's right!"

Zu Zhi sneered: "If the cavalry does not have a shield to resist the attack of the arrow rain, then there is only one way to die!

"It's a pity that there is only one supreme military general in the Southern Yan Kingdom, and that is Yue Fei!"

"If Yue Fei was here today, I would have to retreat, but just one Huo Qu was sick, and he only knew how to order the cavalry to charge, but he didn't know how to guard against the rain of arrows, which was simply looking for death. ”

"Pass the order, all the crossbowmen obey the order, immediately release the arrows, shoot the arrows in their hands as quickly as possible, and inflict maximum damage on the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Soon, there was a sound of breaking the air in the formation of Zu Zhijun, and dense arrow feathers rose into the air.

The sky-like rain of arrows darkened the heavens and the earth, and the iron cavalry that charged towards Huo Qubing poured down!
