The first battle of the White Horse Battalion was a great victory.

Kill the ice giant wolf, a total of nine, the first wolf was taken down by the main general Zhao Que alone.

There are eight ice wolves left.

The second Shi led by Chun Yuxin killed four. Chun Yuxin alone shot three on the spot.

On the battlefield, the sharpshooter is the most threatening existence, especially in skirmishes, and one sharpshooter is enough to determine the victory.

One tithe slew kills two, and the fourth tithe and ten tithes each get one.

The remaining six tithes are all hung to zero.

In this battle, the second Shi led by Chun Yuxin achieved the greatest results and exploits.

As a reward, Zhao Que invited Chun Yuxin to eat hot pot.

Zhang Qi used the last small packet of mountain mushrooms and seasonings left to cook a pot of fragrant mushroom soup, and said to Zhao Que and Chun Yuxin who were waiting on the side: "The hot pot has been cooked, and it is ready to be boiled." ”

"I'm tired."

Zhao Que nodded politely, and then said to Chun Yuxin: "This hot pot is a rare delicacy in the world, you have a good mouth today." ”

After that, he skillfully picked up a piece of wolf meat roll as thin as a cicada's wings with chopsticks, put it into the boiling soup and scalded it for about ten seconds......

Zhao Que looked satisfied.

Eating hot pot in this icy and snowy place is simply a supreme enjoyment.

Chun Yuxin, who was sitting opposite Zhao Que, was a man in his thirties, with sallow skin, a paralyzed face, and a Qingzhou accent when he spoke, obviously not a native of Yizhou.

"Huh......"

He followed Zhao Que's example, picked up a piece of wolf meat roll with chopsticks and shook it, and as soon as he entered it, a touch of emotion suddenly appeared on his paralyzed face.

Zhao Que asked, "How?" ”

Chun Yu Xin couldn't help but say: "It's delicious." ”

After Zhao Que smiled with satisfaction, he turned his head to look at Zhang Qi and said, "Zhang Sanlang, you invented this hot pot, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and I will also invite you to eat hot pot." ”

Zhang Qi took out a pair of chopsticks slipperily: "Then you're welcome." ”

This way.

The three of them are eating hot pot.

The other side.

The rest of the men and horses of the White Horse Camp surrounded the corpses of eight ice giant wolves, drank blood on the spot, and ate raw wolf meat.

For warriors, the flesh and blood of the Ice Giant Wolf is a great supplement.

And I heard that it also has the miraculous effect of aphrodisiac......

Meal.

Zhao Que gathered everyone together and announced: "In the future, whoever achieves the first merit will invite whoever is invited to eat hot pot." ”

Since then, the name of hot pot has spread all over the army.

The main general invited to eat hot pot, which has also become one of the highest honors of the White Horse Camp.

……

Two days later.

Under the leadership of Zhao Que, the White Horse Battalion has penetrated more than 600 miles into the grassland, and the distance traveled is more than 1,000 miles.

The corpses were exposed in the wilderness, and there were no people for thousands of miles.

This sentence is the best way to describe the current situation on the grassland.

The large and small dog tribes living on the grassland seemed to have been wiped out from this land and disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Que's face was sad.

After so many days, nothing has been gained except for the killing of some insignificant ice wolves.

Is it going to be a failure?

The next day.

Zhao Que led the White Horse Battalion and explored dozens of miles to the east, and finally found a remnant of the Inurong tribe in a valley, which was being besieged by a small group of ice field giant wolves.

"Kill!"

Zhao Que personally led the troops to charge and drove away the ice giant wolf.

Subsequently, he sent people to communicate with the surviving Dog Rong people in the valley, and there were two Rong soldiers in the White Horse Camp, but they were not Dog Rong people, but Lirong people living in the territory of the Great Zhou.

Whether it is a dog Rong person or a Lirong person, the ancestors are all Rong people, and they all speak Rong language.

Communicating with each other is naturally not a problem.

"Let's go west, turn around ......"

After some exchanges, Zhao Que finally obtained some information.

It turned out that this was a small tribe called Grey Rock, and half a month ago, the current leader, Ah Kunda, led more than 300 people of the clan to hide in this hidden valley, hoping to escape.

As a result, a few days later, he was chased by a group of ice wolves following the scent.

Fortunately, the terrain of this valley is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the limestone tribe can hold on for so long, but it is still a heavy loss, more than half of the more than 300 tribesmen have died, and there are less than 100 people left.

Besides.

Zhao Que also obtained a crucial piece of information.

The leader of the Limestone Tribe, Akunda, was once recruited by the Black Stone Tribe, one of the three tribes of the Dog Rong, to participate in the Battle of Yanbei Mountain, which changed the situation of the entire grassland.

The three Dog Rong Divisions, the Green Dog Division, the Black Stone Division, and the Moon Worship Department jointly dispatched troops to meet the enemy in Yanbei Mountain.

As a result, the 30,000 most elite canun cavalry were wiped out in a battle.

In the end, there were very few who survived, and this Akandar was one of the few survivors who fled all the way back to his tribe and immediately led his people into the valley......

According to Akanda's description.

In that desperate war, in addition to the endless ice wolves, there are also some one-eyed giants who are several feet tall.

These one-eyed giants, roaring like thunder in the sky, can scare horses to death, their bodies are invulnerable, they stomp their feet and the ground cracks, and they can also spew out extremely terrifying cold air, which can freeze hundreds of cannong cavalry into ice sculptures with one breath of cold......

In the face of such a terrible monster, the 30,000 cannong cavalry could not resist at all, and in less than half a day, the entire army was annihilated.

It was a fluke that Akunda was able to escape.

Zhao Que took out the map and found the direction where the valley was located.

From this valley where I was, I looked in all directions.

Five hundred miles to the north, there is Yanbei Mountain, where an endless number of ice wolves are entrenched, and those mysterious one-eyed giants may also hide there.

Six hundred miles to the south is the Great Wall of the border.

Two hundred miles to the east, there is the North Mountain, which can be used as a retreat.

To the west is the vast grassland, and there is no danger to defend.

"This small valley is not only a dangerous terrain, but also a key point in the north and south, and if you establish a stronghold here, you can not only monitor the movement of the grassland at all times, but also become a surprise ......."

Zhao Que immediately made up his mind.

He called the leader of the Limestone tribe, Akunda, and said that his army would stay in the valley for a while, and asked the leader of Akanda if he minded.

Akanda is a smart dog and welcomes and cooperates on the spot.

Zhao Que personally led people to survey the terrain.

This valley, surrounded by mountains, has only one entrance and exit, and it is no wonder that the limestone tribe can hold out for so long.

But that's not enough.

With Zhao Que's order, the sergeants of the White Horse Battalion began to get busy.

Some of them dug up stones all over the hills, built a thick stone wall in that external passage, some went out to gather forage and food, and some set up sentry posts on the mountains on all sides......

A few days later.

The valley has been transformed into an impregnable fortress.

And the White Horse Battalion once again welcomed the enemy.

Thousands of giant wolves roared from the north, encircling the small valley.

It must have been the rescuers invited by the ice giant wolves before.

Zhao Que climbed the mountain and looked.

Although the group of ice giant wolves surrounding the valley is large, it is not a cause for concern.

The mountains on all sides of the valley are not high, but they are extremely steep, and these ice wolves cannot climb up at all.

The only way to enter the valley was very narrow and a wall had been built, so if the ice wolves dared to rush in, they would not be able to return......

Zhao Que nodded secretly.

My own arrangements these days have not been in vain.

After some inspection.

As he was about to descend the mountain back into the valley, he seemed to sense something, and turned sharply to look north.

"That's ......"
