The march of 200,000 troops to the north along the official road was not smooth. The closer north you get, the more frosty and cold you get, and even the snow that hasn't melted, is still paved on the official road.

As a last resort, I just waited for the march to be suspended, and waited for the Minfu battalion behind to transport the thick robes first.

But even if the road is paved with frost and snow, there are still many refugees fleeing from the north along the way. The reason for the urgency of the border pass is that in the past ten years, the people in the Mobei area have already been empty. But even so, there are still wars and disasters that continue to befall these people.

Seeing the army going to the north, many refugees and people, after kneeling down and crying bitterly, got up again in a hurry, continued to take their families, and fled south regardless of it.

"General Chen, in the past, in order to repair the city pass in Mobei, the court also used tens of thousands of prisoners and widows. I heard from my colleagues that Di Guogou's horses are very fast, and they are often repaired outside the city, and Di Guogou will rush to kill, and under the ravines of Fenglong Pass, I don't know how many corpses have been filled. ”

The person who spoke was a centurion beside Chen Jing, named Wednesday, who, like Ding Pei, was also the type of soldier and knew a lot of Taoism.

"On Wednesday, how is the foot battle of the Di people?"

The centurion thought for a moment on Wednesday, "The fight is very fierce, these grassland people, originally grew up eating meat and running horses, they have a lot of strength, and they often need two people to kill one together." ”

Chen Jing sighed. I have to say that this is the sorrow of the end dynasty. In the prosperous era, as long as the blind alien race will touch the mold of the heavenly kingdom.

In this round of going to the north, it is conceivable that even if it is a 200,000 army going to the north, it will be extremely difficult to face the 150,000 Di Guo army.

The best way to destroy the enemy is to booby trap. But on the contrary, the army of the Di people, the people who accompanied the army this time, there is also a Shenlu national teacher who comes out once in hundreds of years, and the world's great strategist.

Such a character, as long as he finds out the flaws in the army going to the north, he is very likely to fight a battle of total annihilation.

Unless it is said, this time the army going to the north blindly defended and did not go out of the city for a decisive battle. But in this way, if you cower and don't move forward, it will chill the hearts of the people of the Central Plains to encourage the mountains and rivers.

The Li Hou who was ordered in danger, Chen Jing only hoped that before the war, he would think twice about everything, and not fall into the trap of the Di people.

……

Mobei, an endless desert, is about 400 miles away if you cross it. Throughout the ages, it has been a natural barrier for the Central Plains to guard against aliens.

It's a pity that with the decline of the Ran Dynasty and the rise of the Di people, after being taken away from the ten states of northern Xinjiang, the Di people established a country, no longer need to cross the desert, but like a fierce tiger, lying on the edge of the Central Plains.

Today's Daran Northern Frontier, after constantly retreating, has retreated to the edge of Mobei. And Fenglong Pass, located in the convex point of northern Xinjiang, after continuous reinforcement and repair, can be regarded as the last border pass of Daran.

Outside the Fenglong Pass, the weather covered with yellow sand was dirty and cold.

On a sand dune, several people stood silently, and their raised eyes all looked at Fenglong Pass in the distance.

"According to the original plan of the national teacher, it was to create a war disaster, force Da Ran to submit, and cede the three cities in northern Xinjiang. In this way, my Di Kingdom has a bridgehead to attack the Wind Dragon Pass. But who knows, first there was a rebel army that refused to let go, and then I heard that the Ran people were going to fight with my Di country. ”

The person who spoke was a young man wearing a golden helmet. In front of the young Di people, there is a taciturn middle-aged man, and the contours of his facial features and face are very different from the young Di people around him.

The middle-aged man was not wearing armor, but his face was raised, and his eyes were full of depth.

His name is Huo Feng, although he is from the Central Plains, he is also the national teacher of the entire Di Kingdom, from the emperor to the crown prince, and even hundreds of officials and generals, all of whom are submissive to him.

Listening to the young Di Ren's words, Huo Feng frowned.

The sudden toughness of the small dynasty in the south caught him a little unexpected. Logically speaking, the lamb to the slaughter in the south should continue to cut the land for peace, as before.

Moreover, this time, the Central Plains army that entered Mobei actually had 200,000. This is something that has never happened in more than ten years.

"National teacher, don't worry too much, no matter how many people from the Central Plains come, they will definitely not be the opponent of Di Guo."

Huo Feng shook his head, "Prince, you still don't understand. The 200,000 troops from the Central Plains to the north are not terrible, but the terrible thing is that on the side of the Central Plains, there are people who want to wake up this sleeping nation. ”

"National teacher, what are you afraid of? The people of the Central Plains were defeated in nine out of ten battles, and when Di Guo found an opportunity, he immediately marched south, completely defeated the entire Central Plains, and replaced it. ”

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, but if the people of the Central Plains are awakened, my long-cherished wish to enter the Central Plains will be hindered. If there is no mistake, the person who wants to wake up the Central Plains this time should be the big man. ”

Huo Feng stood with his hands in his hands, and there was no panic on his face.

"The person who led the army this time was Li Chong, the loyal and brave marquis, and he was known to be brave in leading the troops. But in my opinion, although Li Chong has the spirit of killing, it is equivalent to a reckless man, if the Central Plains loses this battle, Da Ran's long-cherished wish to inspire the mountains and rivers is only afraid that it will be disappointed. ”

"National teacher, aren't you going to siege the city?"

Huo Feng smiled, "Don't worry, this Li Hou is burdened with the expectations of the people of the Central Plains, and he wants to win a battle more than the crown prince." Wait, he'll take the initiative to get out of town. ”

The young Di man next to him instantly looked ecstatic.

"With the national teacher here, how can I lose the iron hooves of my country."

Huo Feng narrowed his eyes, "No matter what, within five years, the iron hooves of my Di Kingdom will smash the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains." Destroy Da Ran and establish a unified empire. ”

There was a boundless hatred in his voice.

……

"Keep marching!"

It didn't take long to delay, and the 200,000 troops who went to the north continued to drive north. The black giant snake that was rearranged followed the official road and crawled again.

Even if he wore a thick robe and drank spicy soup to warm up, the frosty and snowy weather still made his body tremble.

At this time, I don't know who sang a Ran song. Immediately afterward, the entire mighty army began to roar.

"Towering Daran, state forty-six, two capital nine passes-"

"Heaven is in heaven, the sun and the moon are vast."

……

On the two wings of the long snake formation, from time to time there are morale-boosting generals, running back and forth on horseback. Occasionally, the horse would stop, draw a knife and shout.

"Respect my Daran's 200,000 heavenly army, and I am willing to uphold the will of my father and brother, operate the halberd and armor, and kill Di Dog together."

"Kill Di Dog together, defend the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains!"

"Roar—"

……

Chen Jing, who was riding on a horse, looked at the people who went to the north around him, and his face began to move. The enemy is strong and I am weak, but if you don't go, I won't go, and who should defend the Central Plains.

Someone always needs to carry a load forward, so that the old father can smoke a cigarette pouch, sit on the ridge and laugh, and let the drooping child sit in the school and read loudly.
