Chapter 229: The Han Army

The heavy snowfall has greatly affected the livelihood of many people in the villages and towns near the Yandi Sea, and many people who rely on fishing for a living have not been able to go to sea at all.

There are also a large number of business travelers who have also been blocked in the inns of the town by the wind and snow, and a large number of goods are squeezed, and even some business travelers from Han are even more difficult to move an inch because the goods cannot be transported.

In the past, a large number of merchant ships were moored in Qinwan in Dingqinhai every winter, because it was the best ice-free harbor!

It is also said that the opposite Handi Bay is also the same, so although the weather is cold in winter, it is still not frozen, and the ships between the two sides of the strait can still communicate normally, and the circulation of goods has not been cut off.

However, the situation seems to have been unquiet before this, and it is rumored that the Great Jin merchant on the Han side was required by the government of the Great Han State not to engage in the sale of goods.

even captured a large number of caravans and personnel from the past of the Great Jin, and this news was still brought out by someone after escaping from there.

Half a year ago, such things happened from time to time, and many of the caravans of the Great Jin Dynasty did not dare to go to Han again, but the merchants of Han continued to cross the sea and brought a large number of goods!

Of course, this price is also very expensive! This caused the dissatisfaction of the local caravans, and at this time, the local government also informed the Dajin County Guard of Dongli City! I hope that the imperial court government can send people to the Great Han Kingdom to discuss this unequal trade.

The actions of the Great Jin Dynasty Government in this regard are not so fast, because after the East Fence City is the main city of Yandi, Dongjicheng, where the King of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty is stationed!

And there has always been a contradiction between the King of the Great Jin Dynasty and the Shendu Imperial Court, this kind of thing, if the King of Shendu does not come forward, the Shendu Imperial Court will send someone after getting the report, which is obviously very slow.

With the passage of Dingqinhai being frozen, the news spread quickly, and not long after, not only the county guard of Dongli City sent people, but even the king of the Great Jin Dynasty of Dongjicheng also sent people over.

After seeing the appearance of the strait being frozen again, many people were amazed, and in order to prevent accidents, nearby towns were asked to send several teams of soldiers to guard the shore of the strait and pay close attention to the frozen situation!

If the ice is only a short-term thing, then when the strait is unsealed, it must be reported, especially on the side of Dongli City, because Dongli City is currently the largest city on the shore of Dongdingqin Sea, and a large number of caravans are gathered in it.

The soldiers guarding the sea were stationed on the edge of the strait, where the terrain was higher and they could see the current situation of the strait, but the terrain was high and the wind was blowing fiercely, and the soldiers who could stand guard at the high place were very unlucky, and they could not stand it in less than a day!

There were even people whose ears and faces were frostbitten, but the orders of the commander of the peak could not be disobeyed, and these veterans were naturally miserable.

Fortunately, under the high ground was a low depression, and the tents of the barracks were crowded there, and most people would take refuge in the tents in the camp to make fires when the wind was strong, otherwise more people would be injured.

That night, these veterans seemed to faintly hear very dense footsteps, which seemed to be the sound of countless people walking on the snow!

Someone went out to check, but they didn't find anything unusual, but throughout the night, this kind of thin dense footsteps were ringing, not only them, but even the people of nearby towns heard this sound!

This is a strange thing, and some people describe the sound as if it were a centipede crawling with a hundred legs, and not just one, but countless centipedes crawling together!

The sound stopped after a night's sound, and the next morning there was nothing unusual within a hundred miles of the neighborhood.

Everyone thought that their ears were hallucinating, but the sound that many people heard should obviously not be hallucinations.

The next night the sound sounded again, and it continued to sound all night, even with the sound of horses crowing!

Early in the morning, some veterans stationed on the shore climbed the high ground and looked at the ice above the strait, but saw a large black flag waving, and countless soldiers were coming from the ice!

He thought he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, and suddenly became shocked, those soldiers and horses were wearing black armor, and even the flags were black, and the Xuan color was the color of the military uniform and banner of the Great Han Kingdom on the other side of the strait!

Even more sharp-eyed to see that those banners were displayed with the word "Han!" in big letters, what does this mean? The Great Han Kingdom actually sent troops to cross the strait on foot, and is now about to land on the territory of the Great Jin Yandi!

These people were scattered, and crawled all the way to find their superiors, and reported the discovery, at first these petty officers did not believe it, but when they climbed the high ground and saw the dense crowd of men and horses at the front, their faces were as white as earth!

"Invasion! Invasion! This is an obvious invasion!" This matter is so serious that the little officer can't care about anything else, so he immediately leads someone to report to Dongli City!

Later, the city of Dongli City sent fast horses, galloping to Dongjicheng to report to His Royal Highness the King of the Great Jin Dynasty for help, the defenders of Dongli City were less than 20,000, facing countless Han troops, there was an opponent!

The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry of the Han army took the lead, landed on the territory of Ding Qinhai and the Great Jin Dynasty at zero level, and then quickly unfolded! Then those dense infantry chariots and horses stepped on the solid ice and stepped ashore at one time!

The advance troops quickly occupied the large and small towns by the sea, and did not disturb the people, but those who did good things watched and watched, and they would even arrest people!

After the Han army landed, the landing ground was quickly opened, and there were constantly carts and horses being pushed ashore, as if they needed to build something, but their wood was not enough!

The leaves of the trees that entered the sea were scarce, and at this time the Han army finally drove the people away, and then demolished their houses and took away the wood.

In fact, less than fifty miles north of the seashore is a dense forest of tall cedar trees, and the Han army seems to have done this only for emergencies.

But this also caused a large number of people to lose their homes, so the sound of crying and shouting resounded, coupled with the rude and barbaric soldiers of the Han army, the two sides continued to fight!

The officer leading the Han army was angry at this time, and with an order, the soldiers drew their swords, and a flash of sword light flashed, and the people on the ground were killed, and the blood stained the snow and black soil!

After the atrocities of the Han army, the local people were frightened to madness, and everyone began to flee with their families, most of them fled in the direction of Dongli City.

The county guard of Dongli City did not dare to send troops at all, although the fleeing people were taken into the city, but the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty did not even dare to show their faces.

After establishing a stable landing ground by the sea, the Han army continued to advance eastward, and soon approached Dongli City!

On the ice surface of the sea, there was still a steady stream of Han soldiers and horses! Not only ordinary cavalry and infantry, but also a large number of chariots pulled by strange beasts appeared at this time, and some people even found tall wrestlers, and there were many of these giants!

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the freezing of the strait, the Great Han Kingdom has already started a war against the Great Jin! But if it is a temporary intention, so many troops are obviously not assembled in a short time, so how do they know that the sea will freeze?

From the point of view of the build-up of a huge army, it is impossible to do it in a short time, and the calculation of time is so accurate, what does this mean?

Sima Honglie, the king of interpretation, stared at the map, and his thick eyebrows twisted into a pimple! He couldn't figure it out! Such an extremely cold climate can only be caused by one person, and that is the snowy demon queen in the north!

But with her own understanding of that magical enchantress, even if she wanted to launch such a cold storm, it would be a big loss of vitality to her, why would she help the Great Han Kingdom to freeze the strait?

"Could it be that the two have been colluding for a long time?"

Sima Honglie didn't rule out this possibility, but what should he do? The Great Han Kingdom was already in the stage of formal invasion, and it would take time for all of his more than 100,000 men to be concentrated!

Especially in the southern front, the 50,000 troops who confronted the Shence army of the Great Jin Dynasty, if they withdrew, the Shence army would inevitably go north again, and at that time, they would not only have to face the Han army, but also the Shence army of the Shendu court!

However, he shouldered the responsibility of defending the territory of Yandi, and in the face of the invasion of the Han army, it was impossible for him not to react! Can he protect himself? Then let the Shence army confront the Han army! This matter requires a lot of deep planning.

After thinking about it for a long time, the king of the Great Jin Dynasty finally gave an order that his general Qin Li led 30,000 troops to the east to block the advance of the Han army, and if possible, to keep the East Fence City.

The mobilization and deployment of the army takes time, and now that the weather is cold, it takes time to prepare logistics materials and prepare grain and grass, but even so, two days later, Dongjicheng still sent 30,000 horses to the east.

At this time, the Han army had already surrounded Dongli City, but it did not attack, as if it was waiting for something!

But then a great battle took place in the west of Dongli City! The Han army actually adopted the tactic of encircling the point and sending reinforcements, encircling the Great Jin army that had come to support Dongli City, and wanted to completely annihilate the opponent.

The battle was very fierce at the beginning, with shouts of slaughter on the battlefield, severed limbs and stumps all over the ground, and a large number of dead horses! The snow was cold! These corpses were frozen hard.

The Han army surrounded the Jin army with an absolute advantage, and they were originally absolutely sure that they would eat the other party, but 5 they didn't expect that this Jin army in Yandi was a fierce army that had been trained by King Yan for many years, and its combat effectiveness was amazing!

On the battlefield, they were able to fight their way out of the encirclement at the cost of losing more than 10,000 people! This battle also enabled the Han army to have an intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Jin army.

On the opposite side of the distant strait, on the side of the Great Han Kingdom, on their shore, there is a strange scene at this moment, where a huge tree towers into the sky and rises on the shore!

The roots of this big tree are three or four miles away! The rocks of the ground squeezed by the roots have been shattered into slag, and now they are piled up at the roots, and a large number of giant sacrifices are worshipping at the bottom of the big tree, and there are words in their mouths.
