The rivers are frozen, the winds are howling, and this year's winter is much colder than usual.

Although the Yellow River has not yet been completely frozen, it has condensed into thick ice on the surface of some of the slow waters of the river, especially on both sides of the bridge, which makes the bridge look several times wider than usual.

On the south bank of the river bridge, the whistling wind is mixed with the sound of fierce fighting, and the air is filled with a bloody breath.

In this very cold weather, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty, as the attacking side, were also very hard, and the lethality of the bow and crossbow was greatly reduced, and only the close contact could cause a certain lethality. And there is no fixed city defense to shield from the wind and snow, and it is still difficult to resist the biting cold along the river with only felt tents and winter clothes, so every extra period of time is a kind of torture for the soldiers.

Da Xiwu and Wang Xiong are both brave generals, but they are also a little helpless in the face of such a situation. The wind and snow have been incessant for several days, and the climatic factors that had helped Li Bi defeat their opponents have now become negative factors affecting their combat effectiveness, which can't help but make them feel a little unlucky.

Since the river bridge was lost several times, the Northern Qi Dynasty made some adjustments to the river defense in view of this, and no longer mixed the military defense of Heluo with the river bridge.

Therefore, the defeat of the previous battle in Luoxi did not have much impact on the defense of Heyang, and Zhu Hunyuan, who was stationed here, was still methodically dispatching the enemy. Although Zhu Hunyuan's department is only more than 10,000 people, it is more than enough to rely on the three cities of Heyang to garrison.

Although Da Xiwu and Wang Xiong launched several attacks on the river bridge and the city, they had little success, and the river bridge was frozen in thick ice, which was difficult to destroy even if it was cut and chiseled. As for the offensive and defensive battles of the city, the enemy troops located in Zhongyu City could reinforce the south at any time along the river bridge and the frozen river on both sides, which also made several attacks by the Western Wei Dynasty in vain.

In the final analysis, such a climate is not conducive to warfare. However, because of the previous record of Li Biluoxi's great victory, coupled with Otsuka's strong fighting spirit, Da Xiwu and Wang Xiong could only grit their teeth and insist, divide their troops into two parts, and take turns to attack the enemy position.

But in many cases, attempts to be too strong and ignore the facts often backfire, especially in a matter as war, which is extremely risky and has a very low tolerance for error.

After several days of fighting, the Western Wei army not only did not make any breakthrough progress here at Heqiao, but the number of battle-damaged and frostbitten sergeants increased day by day, and the attrition had exceeded more than 30%.

"Heyang's attack here is getting stronger, and he can't hold on so strongly. The king should be told the truth, and then please don't plan to be a thief."

Another day of fruitless attack, after Da Xiwu returned to the camp, he saw that there were fewer fires in the camp, and he couldn't help frowning, and said with worry after finding Wang Xiong.

Wang Xiong also nodded after hearing this, and sighed: "Even with the majesty of Li Boshan, the former has captured Heyang several times, and there is no precedent for winning with troops in the cold winter. Now I am suffering from the wind and snow, and the horses are cold, and when the enemy army attacks again, I am afraid that it will inevitably be defeated!"

Just when the two generals of the Western Wei Dynasty were discussing the urgency, the reinforcement forward troops from Jinyang also arrived in the north city of Heyang, and it was 3,000 elite cavalry led by Hu Luguang, who quickly arrived at the front line of Heyang by lying in the snow and drinking ice all the way.

"May I ask the Wind King, what is the current enemy situation?"

After arriving at the northern city of Heyang, even if Hu Luguang asked about the current battle situation, he frowned when he learned that the enemy army was still attacking south of the river bridge.

After a little muttering, he said to Ke Zhu Hunyuan, "Please ask the king to provide food and drink for our cavalry, and after resting for the night, we will go south tomorrow to kill the enemy!"

"Hu Lu Jinju must not underestimate the enemy, the thieves are stubborn and difficult to determine quickly. Before, Gu Ben was robbed by thieves because of the underestimation of the enemy, and he had to lead his troops to retreat here."

Gao Guiyan, the king of Pingqin next to him, heard Hu Luguang's words, and when he couldn't help but advise, after a previous fiasco, he was deeply aware of the combat effectiveness of the Western Wei army, although two

The country's strength is poor, but it doesn't mean that he can abuse vegetables casually.

And His Majesty the Emperor of the country was furious and almost ordered him to be killed, and he knew that if this war could turn defeat into victory, he could still have a good end, and if he continued to lose the battle, then he would inevitably become a victim of the emperor's anger. Therefore, when he heard that Hu Luguang was in a hurry to fight, he hurriedly admonished.

Hu Luguang didn't look down on the inactive King of Pingqin, and he was disgusted by his recent murder of Gao Yue, the king of Qinghe, and ignored it after hearing this, until the king of Pingqin persuaded him again, he took out a bone weapon for divination from his arms and played with it in his hand, and said to Gao Guiyan: "What the king taught, will eventually hear about it. It is auspicious, and you can fight!"

This perfunctory attitude naturally made Gao Guiyan quite dissatisfied, but Zhu Hunyuan also knew that Hu Luguang had always been arrogant, and because he was afraid that the two would have any more verbal conflicts, he was busy separating them, and according to Hu Luguang's requirements, the staff provided soup and rice and felt tent accommodation for the people and horses brought by him.

The next day was still overcast, and before dawn, Hu Luguang ordered his troops to put on armor and go south to fight.

After leading his troops along the river bridge to Zhongyun City, Hu Luguang first sent scouts south to inspect the situation of the enemy camp, and then he led 500 elite horsemen from Heyang Guannan to wait for a while, and ordered the other soldiers to walk ashore along the ice floe west of the river bridge and attack the enemy camp.

At the dawn of winter, it is the moment when the vigilance of the men and horses is the most relaxed, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty in the battalion have been fighting for several days in a row, they are exhausted, the battalion soldiers are still lazy in the tent, suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside the tent, and the heart was suddenly panicked, many soldiers have not had time to dress neatly, they rushed out of the camp tent in a hurry, and the sight is full of shaking and running figures, making it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

The camp soon broke out in a riot, and Da Xiwu and Wang Xiong in the big tent suddenly became alert, and rushed out of the camp tent with armor and weapons, and quickly organized the elite soldiers in the surrounding felt tents.

The battle in the camp soon began, and at the same time, Hu Luguang also led five hundred elite horsemen to rush along the river bridge, and soon arrived at the enemy camp. The people and horses in and out of the camp were in and out, naturally there was no snow, and as the five hundred elites of the Hu Luguang Department rode into the camp on a prancing horse, it suddenly seemed to add fuel to the fire, making the already chaotic camp even more chaotic, and the campers scattered in all directions.

"Don't panic, gather here!"

Wang Xiong ordered his soldiers to quickly dismantle the tents in front of the tent, and erected their own flags in the open space in front of the tent, so as to gather and guide the panicked battalion soldiers to assemble here.

After the campers who were running in a panic saw the fierce wind, they also seemed to see the lighthouse in the ocean, and subconsciously gathered here, and soon gathered thousands of campers around Wang Xiong.

While ordering his own soldiers to distribute armor to these battalion soldiers to ward off the enemy, Wang Xiong led a group of his own soldiers to wander around Daxu and kill those Qi soldiers who were still chasing and killing the riots.

The big lance in his hand is like a wandering dragon, there is no enemy everywhere, although those Qi soldiers who entered the camp are also fully armed and prepared, but when they encounter Wang Xiong, the general of the Western Wei Dynasty, they are also completely helpless, either killed on the spot, or panicked and avoided.

The fierce battle here immediately attracted the attention of Hu Luguang, who was riding a horse in the camp. When he saw Wang Xiong's heroic and invincible posture and the fine armor, he immediately knew in his heart that this must be the head of the enemy army.

Wang Xiongzheng committed suicide, and saw that an enemy in the slanted lane would rush towards him with a horse and a lance, so he roared, and the big lance in his hand swept around, and Zhang Yu around him suddenly became a no-man's land. At the same time, Hu Luguang also carried the momentum of the war horse and rushed the horse lance towards Wang Xiong's place quickly!

Just between this electric flint, Wang Xiong clamped the lance under the armpit of one arm, and pushed the lance in one hand, as if there was a thousand forces within the change of this square inch, and the precise collision with the Hu Lvguang horse lance, both sides of the lance were trembling and flicking, and the lance that Hu Lvguang was pressed down took advantage of the situation to pick up Wang Xiong's side ribs, and Wang Xiong's face flushed sharply, and he raised his leg and stepped on it heavily

Ran directly smashed the horse lance splitter in Hu Luguang's hand down!

At this moment, the light of Hu Luguang, who was united by people and horses, also flashed, and he looked down at the tiger mouth of his right hand that was shocked with blood, and even though he looked back at Wang Xiong, who was still standing upright, he asked in his mouth, "Who is the thief?"

"The one who killed you!"

Wang Xiong had no mount, and his mobility was completely downwind, although he shot down the horse lance in Hu Luguang's hand, but he failed to catch up, and soon killed the enemy soldiers who were behind with the lance.

Hu Luguang lost his weapon, and did not leave the battlefield, but grabbed the bow hanging in front of the saddle, and held the arrow to shoot the enemy.

He went around the camp, and then rode back, and first shot a chirping dischief at Wang Xiong's place, and when he turned his head to look at it, Hu Lujin pulled his bow again, and an arrow hit Wang Xiong's face, and the arrow instantly sank into his eye.

As Wang Xiong's body fell to the ground suddenly, the Western Wei soldiers who were still resisting here suddenly scattered, Hu Luguang stepped forward again, picked up the horse lance that he had dropped before, and inserted the horse lance into Wang Xiong's corpse, and instructed the nearby soldiers: "This is a brave general, don't damage his corpse!"
