"General, ahead is Barbarian Jiaocheng. ”

Huo Quai's side, after several days of rapid marching, finally arrived at Manjiao City.

Looking at the majestic city in front of him, Huo Quzhi sighed lightly and said, "I didn't expect that in the barbarians, such a majestic city could be trimmed, but I underestimated them." ”

"General, although this city was built by barbarians in name, it was actually built by the human race. The deputy general said: "In order to resist the Ice and Snow Dynasty, the barbarians specially spent a lot of money to invite some craftsmen to build this barbarian Jiao City. ”

"After the successful construction of the Barbarian Jiao City, it did make the Ice and Snow Dynasty quite uncomfortable, and since then, no army has entered the northern grassland to rob the barbarians' war horses, cattle and sheep, making the barbarians around here live a much better life. ”

Huo Quzhi listened, and he didn't know what to say.

It is also facing the northern grasslands, but the Ice and Snow Dynasty is different from the kingdoms near the Southern Yan Kingdom.

In the previous kingdoms in the southwest of Yuzhou, all the kingdoms close to the northern grasslands were basically all invaded by barbarians.

But the Ice and Snow Dynasty is also close to the northern grasslands, but it sent troops out to snatch the barbarians' war horses, cattle and sheep, and the comparison between the two is really helpless.

This is related to the topography of the Ice and Snow Dynasty and the northern grasslands, separated by the Dongbo Mountains, which is equivalent to a natural danger for the barbarians in the northern grasslands, and it is difficult for them to cross.

Not to mention, there is also a Lansui Pass behind the Dongbo Mountains, which is enough to ensure that the Ice and Snow Dynasty will not be disturbed.

The other is the question of strength.

The Ice and Snow Dynasty is strong, they have this qualification, they have the ability to go to the northern grassland to snatch the barbarian horses, cattle and sheep, the previous Southern Yan Kingdom did not have this strength, so they could only be robbed.

The current Southern Yan Kingdom also has this strength, so it will carry out the Northern Expedition, wanting to completely destroy the barbarians, ensure that there are no enemies in the northern grassland, and make this grassland the cavalry of the kingdom.

Barbarian Jiaocheng is not only a city, but also a majestic pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

On weekdays, the barbarian army is deployed here, and even if it is not through the military formation, it can rely on the strong city walls and excellent defensive design to hold off the enemy's attack.

But today, there was not a single barbarian soldier in the Barbarian Jiao City for a long time.

After the base camp of the Aohan tribe was destroyed, they had long been scattered as beasts and birds, so the only Xiongguan in the northern grassland did not have a single soldier guarding the city at this time.

This is naturally a good thing for Huo Quzhi.

He immediately led his troops into the city, quickly cleaned the city, and after making sure that there was no problem, he began to arrange defenses.

"Report!"

"General, the Jinyi Guard's secret agent has sent an order, and Zu Zhi, the general of the Ice and Snow Dynasty, has led three million elite soldiers into the Dongbo Mountains. ”

The city lord's mansion of Barbarian Jiaocheng, Huo Qubing temporarily set up this place as his military command post.

"It's pretty fast. After Huo Qubing got the news brought by the deputy general, he said coldly.

"According to the news from the Jinyi Wei secret agent, Zu Zhi attaches great importance to Barbarian Jiaocheng, so he directly led the troops to march urgently, with the purpose of taking Manjiao City as soon as possible. The adjutant said.

"A quick march?"

Huo Quzhi's eyes lit up, and he said: "The enemy's rapid march to the Dongbo Mountain Range must be to rush to the Barbarian Jiao City as quickly as possible, then they will definitely make a rapid march in the Dongbo Mountain Range." ”

"Haha, you immediately go down to select 100,000 elites, you are going to surprise Zu Zhi!"

"Surprise?"

The adjutant general was stunned for a moment, followed by his reaction, and immediately said, "General, are you going to attack the enemy army?"

"Why not?"

Huo Quzhi said with a smile: "The enemy army is marching rapidly, and the physical consumption of the army is very huge. ”

"If they change places, they will definitely rest in the mountains first, and then lead the troops to set off, but in the Dongbo Mountains, it is cold everywhere, and there is no place for the army to rest. ”

"And whether it is the Ice and Snow Dynasty or the Northern Grassland, it is not a place where the sky is cold, only the Dongbo Mountain Range is a cold place, and if the enemy army wants to pass through the Dongbo Mountain Range, it will take three days even if it is a rapid march. ”

"Three days of cold, even if the enemy army is all wearing warm clothes, it is impossible to keep warm all the time, in this case, when they walk out of the Dongbo Mountains, their combat effectiveness will definitely be reduced to a freezing point, for us, this is an opportunity!"

"As long as we seize this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the enemy army, we can get an absolute advantage in the battle, which is an absolute good thing for us to hold the Barbarian Jiao City!"

Although the Ice and Snow Dynasty is called the Ice and Snow Dynasty, it is not that the Ice and Snow Dynasty is a place where the sky is cold and frozen.

The reason why they are called the Ice and Snow Dynasty is because the most excellent cultivation technique in the royal family that founded the Ice and Snow Dynasty is called the Ice and Snow Duel, and their first emperor is also respected as the Ice and Snow Saint.

Hence the name of the Ice and Snow Dynasty.

After the adjutant general understood Huo Quai's thoughts, he immediately went down to select the elite according to the requirements, and prepared to attack Zu Zhi's army in the rear.

At the same time, Huo Qubing also sent an order to let Jinyiwei's killers block the news of Barbarian Jiaocheng, but he couldn't let Zu Zhi, who was marching in the Dongbo Mountains, know that Manjiao City had fallen into the hands of the Nanyan Kingdom.

In the Dongbo Mountain Range, Zu Zhizheng led his troops on a rapid march, and they had to rush to Barbarian Jiaocheng as fast as possible to avoid being preempted by the Southern Yan Kingdom.

"General, our spies still haven't heard from us. The deputy general came to Zu Zhi's side to pray.

Zu Zhi frowned slightly, and said, "Give an order to the dynasty and let them put pressure on those spies, I must know the latest news of Barbarian Jiao City before I leave the Dongbo Mountain Range." ”

"Yes!"

......

Three days passed quickly, and Zu Zhi had already led the army to the periphery of the Dongbo Mountain Range, and he would be able to leave the Dongbo Mountain Range in half an hour ahead.

"Is there still no news from Barbarian Jiaocheng?" Zu Zhi asked as he looked at the lieutenant general beside him.

The deputy general smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Our news about Barbarian Jiaocheng is still stuck in the barbarian army abandoning the city and fleeing to the Hupu tribe. ”

"Damn it!"

Zu Zhi scolded secretly, there was no exact news of Barbarian Jiaocheng, so he would have a lot more scruples about marching.

"General, I absolutely don't have to worry about you, we carried out a rapid march throughout the whole process, and it only took less than ten days to reach the Dongbo Mountain Range, even if the Nanyan Kingdom reacted quickly, it was impossible to rush to Barbarian Jiao City in ten days!"

"Moreover, our march is very hidden, the Southern Yan Kingdom will definitely not be able to find our traces, and Meng Tian will still face pressure from the Hupu tribe, so he will not necessarily send troops to Barbarian Jiao City. ”

"Taking a step back, even if you send troops to Barbarian Jiaocheng, there can't be many, after all, according to the information we have gotten, the Wu clan on the Hupu tribe has gathered more than 100 million barbarian iron horses!" the deputy general said.
