Chapter 240: The Siege of the Dark Snow is about to fall

The most elite troops in Yuzhou are eight cavalry regiments with a history of more than 10,000 years, known as the "Eight Cavalry of the Dark Snow". For tens of thousands of years, the Eight Horsemen of the Dark Snow have participated in several human and demon wars, and in the battles with other families, they have also made the Fu family in Puzhou and the Xu family in Fanzhou suffer a lot.

Even if you look at the entire Great Jin Dynasty, the Eight Horsemen of the Dark Snow can be called one of the top martial arts. Even if it is an ordinary cavalryman, it is at least the realm of the middle stage of the marrow cleansing, the cultivation reaches the middle stage of the dawn, and the centurion can become a centurion when he reaches the middle stage of the cold window, and every commander is a warrior in the realm of ascending the hall.

The peace of the continent is only a matter of nearly a thousand years, and a thousand years ago, the war between the human race and the divine beast race, the Jing barbarian race, and the human race can be said to have never stopped. For tens of thousands of years, there have been hundreds of families on the continent that have occupied at least one city or even a state, but many once glorious families have been annihilated in the long river of history due to a temporary decline or the fall of a strong man.

Take Shi Zhiyi's maker of the Spirit Rhino Ring in his hand, the formation master Luohetu as an example, with the cultivation of the late stage of the snow realm in the world and the strength of the formation master, the status is comparable to the powerhouse of the Fengshen Realm, when he was alive, the Luo family sat on the eighteen cities of Jingzhou, and its status and power even surpassed the Shi family of Yunqi City and the Jian family of Wulai Island among the current eight families.

However, after the death of Luohetu, the Luo family was declining, and only three thousand years later, their descendants would be worried about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and had to sell their ancestral property, declining from a top wealthy family to an ordinary well-off family.

In troubled times, all wealth and power, if not backed by corresponding force, are just a passing cloud. And the Daxi family was able to in this troubled era, from a small force that only owned half of the city at the beginning, after tens of thousands of years of ups and downs, and finally developed into the second family in the world with more than 50 cities.

This time, the Daxi family mobilized the Cangji Cavalry, the Running Sky Cavalry and the Absolute Shadow Cavalry among the Eight Horsemen of the Dark Snow to come and encircle and suppress the lone army of thousands of people in Yunqi City, which was naturally inevitable, and did not let a single soldier of the Shi family leave Yuzhou alive.

"Boss, what do you think of Shi Huaichuan, who ran to Yuzhou with thousands of people to die, did he suddenly become an idiot, thinking that with an IOU, he could let us Yuzhou cede eight cities to him?"

The man who spoke was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a slightly dark complexion, an extremely tough appearance, and an angular face with a beard like a steel needle, and he knew at a glance that he was an iron-blooded warrior. Under his crotch is a blue-gray tall horse, with shiny hair and muscles as high as iron blocks, which is the Cangji horse produced in the thousands of miles of forests and seas at the southern foot of the Yudai Mountain Range, and it is also the standard mount of Cangji riding, one of the eight horsemen of the Dark Snow.

"I don't know what Shi Huaichuan thinks, but what I do know is that he, Shi Huaichuan, has been able to firmly control Yunqi City for more than twenty years by himself, whether it is those horse bandits and thieves in the Yueyin Grassland or my Daxi family, they don't dare to fight Yunqi City, it is definitely not as you think. At the Lanchun Conference that year, my cousin was beaten by him and couldn't find the north, and now his son was defeated in the hands of Shi Huaichuan's eighteen-year-old son, and he was forced to write an IOU for ceding the eight cities in front of everyone. If he is an idiot in your eyes, then there is only one possibility, and that idiot is actually yourself!"

The person who replied was also riding a cangji horse under his crotch, but in the eyes of this cangji horse, he could obviously feel a little more agile and majestic than other horses, and he was obviously the head horse of the herd. Compared with this horse, the knight on the horse looks extremely ordinary, but he is two or three points similar to Da Xi Zhiyu, who is the cousin of Da Xi Zhiyu, the cousin of Da Xi Bo, the current head of the Da Xi family, and is also the real controller of Cang Ji Ride.

Da Xi Shi's family Ding Xingwang, in addition to the direct line of the head of the family Da Xi Bo, there are six other side lines, each of which holds a force in their hands, such as Da Xi Wenhuan, the lord of Luzhou City, belongs to one of the distant relatives, and in terms of seniority, Da Xi Wenhuan is a generation higher than Da Xibo, who is about the same age as him.

For Da Xiyi's family, Cangji Cavalry, one of the Eight Horsemen of the Dark Snow, is their own place, and it is also the confidence they rely on to have a say in the family meeting. Of course, although there are inevitably some intrigues and rivalries between the various factions, when a foreign enemy bullies the door, each family can still completely obey the instructions of the head of the family. If it weren't for this, countless generations would have been passed down, and the Daxi family would have fallen apart long ago, how could there be today's scenery and power.

The one who spoke next to him was Shen Kun, the deputy general of Cangji Cavalry and the commander of the personal guard battalion, a martial artist with peak cultivation, a companion and playmate of Da Xiyi from childhood to adulthood, and his most trusted right-hand man. At this time, they were ordered by the head of the family, Da Xibo, to lead Cangji to ride 20,000 cavalry and approach Luzhou City from the east.

The two commanders, each leading 10,000 cavalry, rolled up the smoke and dust in the sky, and followed behind the two from afar, and beside the two were the three hundred personal guard battalions trained by Da Xiyi and Shen Kun themselves, and they were half protected in the center with the momentum of Yan Ling.

As the two were talking, on the horizon directly in front of them, the figure of a cavalryman seemed to rise from the ground, gradually becoming clear from far to near. Behind the cavalry, you can also see a blue-gray battle flag waving in the wind, representing his status as an outpost spy.

In an instant, the cavalry sentry had already arrived within a hundred zhang of the front of the team, and two horses were separated from the guard battalion, and they accelerated to meet them, and after checking the identity token of the passer, they brought it to Da Xiyi.

"Sergeant Lu Ziming of the Qichen Squad of the First Pioneer Battalion has seen the general!"

Although Cangji Cavalry is the private army of the Daxi family, it theoretically belongs to the military department of the Great Jin Dynasty, but whether it is food, grass, ordnance or military salary, it is completely taken care of by the Daxi family. Except for the direct troops of the royal Yu family, the other seven great families are all like this.

And for this reason, Da Xiyi still has an official rank from the Sanpin Hussar General, and most of the time, he likes his subordinates to call him a general.

"How's the situation in Luzhou City?" asked Da Xiyi.

"Report to the general, the two counties of Jiangyang and Luchuan in Luzhou City are now closed at the city gates, and the crossbows and other city defense equipment on the city wall are being repaired, and you can still see some people from a distance transporting some wood and stones to the city. ”

"Hold on and wait for reinforcements, how many reinforcements are there in Yunqi City, my 100,000 army is besieging the city, if you want to defend it, will he Shi Huaichuan defend it?"
