Chapter Eighty-Six: Bringing a Knife on a Snowy Night

Toyotomi Shingen furrowed his eyebrows and continued to observe the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.

More than 2,000 Northern Yan iron horsemen, as always, galloped and invincible on the vast battlefield, and Toyotomi Shingen's brows became tighter and tighter.

Soon after, a blizzard began in the grey sky as a bitter north wind blew, as is customary for the season.

Toyotomi Shingen was stirred by the cold wind, looked up at the dim sky, and the wind and snow flying in the sky, his face sank, and said to Kuroda Nagamasa beside him: "Today is not conducive to fighting again, and it is about to fall into the night, tell the warriors to withdraw from the battlefield! But tonight we must surround the Northern Yan cavalry to the death, and we can't get away with a single person! Tomorrow morning, send my banner army to wipe out these Northern Yan cavalry! To be able to completely annihilate Xue's invincible personal barracks, even if it is worth paying a big price!"

"Hey!" Kuroda Nagamasa nodded and bowed, and hurried down to dispatch the army.

The Banner Legion in Toyotomi Shingen's mouth is his most elite descendant army, and it is his greatest capital to dominate Fuso.

Toyotomi Shingen's Banner Legion was small in number, only 30,000 men, but these 30,000 men were extremely well-equipped! Not only were they heavily armoured, but they were also equipped with the finest swords and the most powerful crossbows.

Not only that, every soldier of the Qiben Legion is the elite of a hundred battles who survived to the end in the continuous civil war in Fusang. Moreover, after a long period of training, these 30,000 elites have also trained a set of extremely powerful battle formations - the Wave Fish Scale Formation!

Relying on sophisticated equipment, brave and experienced soldiers, and powerful battle formations, this banner army was invincible and invincible in the Fuso Civil War, and made great contributions to Toyotomi Shingen's unification of Fuso.

In the final battle of the unification of Fuso, Toyotomi Shingen faced the powerful Hojo family. In an unfavorable situation, Toyotomi Shingen sent the Banner Regiment at a critical time.

Living up to Toyotomi Shingen's expectations, the Banner Regiment not only smashed the 150,000-strong army of the Hojo family in one fell swoop, but also captured the head of the Hojo family, the Hojo clan! From then on, Toyotomi Shingen had no rival in Fuso, so he turned his greedy gaze to the long-awaited continent.

In order to completely annihilate the cavalry in front of him, Toyotomi Shingen spared no expense and prepared to put his most powerful army into it, which shows that he is bound to win this battle

From the beginning of the war to the present, the iron cavalry led by Hou Fatzi has been fighting on this bloody battlefield for nearly five hours. Even if they are tough guys, they are exhausted. And the war horses under the crotch have also reached the limit of their physical strength, and many war horses began to foam at the mouth and stagger.

Fortunately, it was already dark at this time, and it suddenly snowed again, not only did the temperature drop sharply, but it was even more difficult to see people on the battlefield. Tens of thousands of Fuso troops who received orders from Toyotomi Shingen withdrew in all directions and gradually withdrew from the battlefield.

But they didn't go far. He set up camp a few miles away from the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, and still surrounded this Northern Yan cavalry.

Seeing the tide of Fusang retreating, Hou Fatzi reached out and pulled out an arrow inserted in the head cherry.

At this time, the fat man Hou felt that he was prostration, his hands and feet were sore, and he had been fighting for his life, but once he relaxed, his eyes suddenly turned black and he almost fell off the horse.

Hou Fatzi hurriedly supported the saddle with both hands, took a long breath, and finally relieved his strength.

As a second-rate martial artist, Hou Fatzi is still like this, and the situation of other soldiers can be imagined!

Seeing that the Fusang people had finally retreated, the more than 2,000 soldiers were all slightly relieved. This relaxation was immediately heard, "Bang Bang!" A series of heavy objects fell to the ground.

Hundreds of soldiers who had lost their strength fell from their horses one after another, falling motionless in the snow.

The other soldiers were no better! They struggled to climb off their horses, and sat on the snow and ice slumped without even moving their fingers.

After five hours of arduous and fierce battles, even if you are an iron man, you can't stand it! Not to mention that these soldiers are just flesh and blood!

Hou Fatzi turned over and got off the horse, looked at the scene of all the brothers being tired and paralyzed, sighed slightly, and then said in a loud voice: "Everyone listen to Hou Ye, I can only rest for a quarter of an hour! After a quarter of an hour, set up a camp and arrange defenses to prevent the Fusang people from sneaking up in the middle of the night." ”

A group of soldiers didn't even have the strength to answer, so they just nodded blankly.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly. Most of them recovered their strength, and then got up to help their brothers who had fallen in the snow.

Others, taking out their tents from their horses, began to set up makeshift camps. At the same time, everything that could be used to make a fire was lit, and several bonfires were lit. He took out the dry food and salted meat strips that he had with him, and boiled the broth with the snow and ice everywhere.

Most of the soldiers who had passed out in a coma woke up one after another after drinking the hot broth.

And the remaining dozens of soldiers, no matter how they were treated, never had a chance to wake up.

Not only people, but even the beloved war horses of the soldiers fell down more than a hundred in a burst of sorrow, and those foaming at the mouth could no longer stand up.

Hou Fatzi sighed and said, "Put these horse corpses and the corpses of Fusang cubs on the periphery to prevent the Fusang people from sneaking up in the middle of the night!"

A group of soldiers responded to the order one after another and hurried to work. Half an hour later, a wall of corpses more than a foot high was erected on the periphery of the camp. The blood that had not yet dried up gushed out from the corpse wall and was slowly frozen into a scarlet ice mound, making the corpse wall even stronger.

After doing all this, more than 2,000 soldiers can finally rest. But what awaits them tomorrow is an even more brutal bloody battle

And hundreds of miles away, more than 50,000 iron horsemen led by Xue Wanche himself were galloping all the way in the wind and snow, and in less than two hours, they rushed out of more than 200 miles.

All the soldiers are riding in one person and two horses, and the horses are not stopping, and they are galloping towards Qingyu Mountain. A huge procession of more than 50,000 people, holding torches alof, like a huge fire dragon winding, traveled between the mountains and rivers of Goryeo.

Even Xue Wanche and Zhou Hao, in order to save horsepower, also changed to reserve horses from time to time, and rushed to the forefront of the 50,000 cavalry.

Along the way, as long as they meet someone, whether he is a Goryeo or a Fuso, they all rush up and slash and kill to prevent the news of the army's rush to help leak out.

The reinforcements are only 600 miles away from Qingyu Mountain! At the current rate, as long as Hou Fatzi and the others hold on for about six hours, the army will be able to arrive.

However, will the more than 2,000 soldiers who have been exhausted after a bloody battle for a day be able to hold out until six hours later?
