Chapter 17: The First Snow

After drawing up a plan, he directly sent people to inform Wang Kai and Dillon, and asked them to lead troops to be stationed on both sides of the main road to guard against the combined forces of Xinguo and Fengguo at any time.

Murong covered the sea and he did not move, and stayed in the rear just in case.

……

As the days passed, the cold winter had already arrived before I knew it.

Yang Lie stood outside alone wrapped in a blanket, and as the snowflakes fell, the first snow of this winter fell.

"Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold."

"It's okay!"

"I don't know what happened to Wang Kai and them!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured! The soldiers' cotton clothes and charcoal for heating have been delivered. ”

"That's good."

At the junction of Hou Sui and Xinguo, Wang Kai led people to be stationed on both sides of the road, looking at the snowflakes in the sky, Wang Kai couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Old general, have you ever found traces of the enemy?"

"No, it snows so much, they probably won't come!"

"General Wang, the soldiers are already shivering from the cold, why don't you light a bonfire to keep warm?"

"Old general, it's not that I don't want to, this bonfire, you can see the smoke within a radius of ten miles, and it is easy to expose our location."

"General Wang, I have a solution!"

"Old general, please speak!"

"We might as well divide the soldiers into two groups, one group will be stationed here without a bonfire, and the other group will retreat ten miles back, let them light a fire to keep warm, and the two groups will take turns to rest."

"Okay, that's it!"

The two each led a team of men, the first round was in charge of Wang Kai, and the rotation was every three hours, and Dillon took the rest of the people to rest and warm up ten miles away.

……

On the other side, the new and Feng coalition forces were also ready, and when the snow stopped, they rushed towards Hou Sui as soon as possible.

After a period of recruitment, the coalition army has reached the size of 7,000 people, which is 3,000 more than Wang Kai and them.

The army rushed all the way and finally arrived at the border of Later Sui.

"General, the front is the territory of Hou Sui."

"Okay, speed up, be sure to catch them off guard."

"Yes!"

……

On the other side, Wang Kai had also received the news and immediately sent someone to inform Dillon not far away.

"Extinguish the bonfire, quickly join General Wang, and the cavalry wrap the horses' hooves in coarse cloth to prevent them from slipping."

All the sergeants sprang into action at once, straightened their clothes and headed straight to the front.

"General Wang, how's the situation?"

"The enemy army will not arrive in a while, General Di, you take people to ambush on the high slope on the other side, and then attack directly from the side."

"Good!"

Dillon left with the cavalry and ambushed on the hillside opposite Wang Armor, and in order to prevent footprints from being left, he deliberately led people around from behind.

Time passed, and the combined forces of the two countries finally appeared in sight.

"Crossbow ready!"

……

"General, should we slow down a bit, what if we encounter an ambush?"

"Fart, how can there be an ambush on this snowy day, hurry up and rush to Housui now, you must catch them off guard."

"General, let's slow down! My heart is furious, I'm afraid something bad is going to happen. ”

"Shut up, in the nonsense of military law, fighting a war is not just your intuition, it's just nonsense, you are still a general of Fengguo."

"You ......"

"Why, I'm not right, you're ......"

"Whoosh!"

Arrows kept coming, followed by a large rain of arrows, and the coalition forces were killed and wounded in an instant.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Whoosh!"

Several waves of arrows rained down, and the Hou Sui soldiers immediately rushed out of the woods on the side of the road, and the coalition forces were beaten without the power to fight back, and the team retreated again and again.

"The enemy will die!"

Dillon led the cavalry and charged, halving the coalition in half.

The leading general saw that the person who came was a veteran, and immediately lowered his guard.

"Humph! At a young age, you are still on the battlefield, are you Hou Sui no one? ”

"Death!"

Dillon didn't talk nonsense, and rushed straight up with his gun.

As soon as the two fought, the enemy general only felt a strange force attacking, and then the whole person was directly knocked off the horse, leaving a fist-sized hole in his chest.

"The enemy general is dead, and you will not surrender."

A shot provoked the corpses on the ground, Dillon led people to run around the battlefield, and soon the news of the death of the enemy general spread throughout the battlefield.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fengguo's generals directly abandoned their sergeants and fled from the battlefield taking advantage of the chaos.

Without anyone to command, these soldiers decisively chose to surrender after resisting for a while, and they had already fled from here just now.

"General Wang, a total of more than 3,000 people were captured, more than 2,000 enemies were killed, and the rest are missing."

"Okay, this battle is a complete victory, I will write to Your Majesty!"

……

Yang Lie, who was far away in Meng County, laughed happily directly after receiving the letter.

"It's a great joy to win this battle."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the annexation of the two countries is just around the corner."

"Write a reply letter and ask Wang Kai and them to continue the offensive and win the two countries in one fell swoop."

"Yes!"

Looking at the map, he now has fourteen county seats, which can be regarded as a dominant party.

The next day, the ministers had also received the news, and they praised him again.

He was no longer surprised by this, from the initial unaccustomed to it, to the current unfazed, and the ghost knows how much he listened.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as expected, it is only a matter of time before the two countries are taken."

"I don't plan to use those original officials, the officials should come up with a list as soon as possible, select suitable officials for backup, and take office as soon as they win the two countries."

"Yes, the old minister will do it."

"In addition, winter has come, and the heating situation of the people should always be concerned."

"Your Majesty, there is enough charcoal in my country, and every family has more or less cotton clothes, so nothing major should happen."

"I have to guard against it! It's better to be careful in everything. ”

"Yes!"

"There's nothing else, what else is there to do with you Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing for the minister!"

"Speak!"

"Your Majesty, my country's treasury revenue this year is a little thin, and I don't know whether to raise taxes."

"No, the tax will not change in the future, and now the treasury is still full, and it is idle to have so much, it is better to hide the wealth from the people."

"Yes!"

"Retreat!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

A group of ministers left the hall in a majestic manner and began to gather in twos and threes to discuss.

"Prime Minister, we are going to choose a concubine for Your Majesty, but Your Majesty has not let go, can you go and ask for mercy?"

Li Wei shook his head!

"Your Majesty will not marry a wife for the time being, so don't bother with it, you adults, let's take care of other things first!"

"Prime Minister, Your Majesty's marriage cannot be delayed, and we people are also thinking about Your Majesty."

"I know what you mean, but let's wait for now! It won't do you any good to push Your Majesty too hard. ”。

"Yes, the prime minister taught me a lesson."
