Chapter 489: Heavenly Wolf Realm

The Snow Wolf Mountains, the ridge of the North.

Endless snow-capped peaks demarcate the boundary between Zhongzhou and the border of the Heavenly Wolf Country. In the shade of the mountain, thousands of mountains are covered with snow, and behind it is the border of the wolf country, and on the side of the mountain and yang, it is the green cypress and pine trees in the summer, and a piece of prosperity. It belongs to the territory of Zhongzhou. Stardew City is located just south of the Snow Wolf Mountains, outside the Snow Wolf Valley. It is known as the first city of the cold mountain, just like the veteran who has been guarding the border for many years, and dedicates his life to the stability of the vast Zhongzhou.

However, the balance of victory in the Great War of the Northern Regions has tilted in favor of the Central Plains. Since the Battle of Chang'an, the soldiers fought bloody battles and attacked the city. All the lost rivers and mountains have been restored to their homeland. And in the Battle of North Wild Goose City that started last night, the 100,000 army of the Heavenly Wolf Country was lost by more than half. Lost two important passes in North Wild Goose City and Stardew City in a row. It was precisely because of the Zhongzhou military horses that they completely drove the wolf clan out of Zhongzhou, fled in a hurry along the Snow Wolf Mountain, and rushed back to the cold border.

Tang King Shengming, since the invasion of the Heavenly Wolf Country, the people at the border have been in war and have been trampled by iron hooves and suffered countless casualties. There were several massacres of the city to convey to Chang'an, which made the people of the Central Plains grit their teeth and hate the cruelty and tyranny of the wolf clan. Therefore, Chang'an's expedition this time must be carried out in one go, destroy the Heavenly Wolf, and sweep away all the threats and hatred of the family and country in the Northern Regions for thirty years!

At this time, the homeland has been collected, and taking advantage of the wolf master's defeat, it is imperative to attack the wolf country. Shen Xiang in the Chang'an Dynasty is currently depressed a lot, and he has been saying that he is sick all day long and does not enter the court. Since the defeat of the enemy, the front-line battle report was transmitted back to Chang'an, which made the Son of Heaven Longyan very happy. Immediately allocated battle armor and winter clothing, and countless resources such as food and salary, as well as wine and meat, and sent troops and horses to the front line of Stardew City in the starry night. I hope that the soldiers will be able to destroy the wolf on this trip, protect the peace of the Tang Dynasty, and make the country forever.

Before the military armaments and food were transported to the front line, Princess Huashan led the generals to receive the reward of the Son of Heaven and thanked the emperor. He began to gather the people and discuss how to march to the north. Today, the war is not as good as in the past, and the Heavenly Wolf has already increased its iron walls to prevent the Central Plains army and horses from attacking. But right now, Snow Wolf Mountain is a dangerous barrier. There are three Xiongguan in the rear, which are set up in the legend of the three sons of the wolf. They are: greedy wolf pass, lone wolf pass, snow wolf pass. Three impregnable passes.

And when it comes to the three levels set up by the Sky Wolf Country, we have to start from the geography of the Sky Wolf Country, which has been conquered year after year, and the successive generations of wolf lords have continued to open up their territory, making the Sky Wolf Country like a monopoly in the north, and its territory reaches the Central Plains in the south and goes to the polar regions in the north. It connects Zhufan in the west and enters the Minghai Sea in the east. On the north and east sides, there are endless glaciers that are extremely cold and bone-chilling, and within a thousand miles, they are all deserted, and they do not border any country, but are desperate to devour life.

If the border of the wolf is divided into two halves, the western side of the border is a reckless desert, which has been shuttling between the wind and sand for thousands of years, and it can be described as a barren and desperate place where no grass grows. And the east of the Heavenly Wolf Country is a cold ice and snow world. The cold mountains of the tundra are endless.

It is precisely because of such extreme climate and geography that the people in the country of Tianluo live by hunting, and the people are fierce and have few city defenses. Even these three passes were newly built in recent years to block the fighting. And the three passes, each of which has an extremely steep path, are connected to the royal city of the Heavenly Wolf Country, the Heavenly Wolf City.

Legend has it that the wolf city is the holy place where the wolf god was born, and every year, a large number of people brave the wind and snow to go to the wolf city to worship the wolf god. This is the faith that is imprinted in the hearts of the people. Just as they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the wolf lord, if they wanted to destroy the enemy capital Sky Wolf City, they must first overcome the three passes and overcome the harsh climate of the Northern Regions. in order to completely destroy this cruel country that has been slaughtered endlessly.

"Behind Snow Wolf Mountain, there are three steep passes. The generals can see these three passes, the greedy wolf pass at the mouth of the snow wolf valley, the lone wolf pass blocking the entrance to the western desert, and the snow wolf pass blocking the outer edge of the ice field. These three passes are blocked behind the Snow Wolf Valley in a single line. If we want to enter the enemy's country, then we must divide our troops and uproot all three passes. In the end, our army will meet again under the Sky Wolf City. It's going to be an uphill battle......"

In Stardew City, the lights and candles inside the Chinese army's tent were not extinguished, and Princess Huashan gathered all the generals, and was pointing at the sand table in front of her with a sword to tell the generals about the geography of the Heavenly Wolf Country. In the past, Li Chun was appointed as the general of the Peking Expedition, and once led the army to the cold mountains and into the desert. The thousand-mile march drove a long march and smashed the wolf's lair. In the end, the old wolf lord was forced to sue for peace. Xu Na paid tribute to protect the people, and only then did he escape from the country's misfortune.

But at this time, the Sky Wolf Kingdom summed up the previous failures and set up a dangerous barrier to block the main route of the march, but it was not as easy to penetrate into the enemy territory as in the past. And this time they marched into the army, they must destroy all the living forces in the Heavenly Wolf Country. These three dangers must be broken down in order to open the door. If you advance in three ways like this, it will be able to make it difficult for the enemy army in all directions, which is the best policy.

When the wind and snow entered the account, all the generals raised their heads and looked at Lu Yang, who had just returned in the wind and snow. Today, the mountains and rivers outside are covered with snow, and the top of the soldiers' tents seems to be covered with white jade and silver, but the military situation is like fire, and it does not wait for the day. In order to find out the information about the wolf clan's military strength and city defense, Lu Yang personally went to the outside of Snow Wolf Mountain during the day to explore the situation on the front line.

He walked around the city for a long time, and when he saw that the city was in full battle, he closed the door and did not let a single person out of the gate. It wasn't until late in the morning that he happened to catch a few wolf clans patrolling the snow wolf mountain. After some questioning, he learned that after the defeat of the wolf Tianli from the Northern Yan City, he increased his troops and deployed troops in the three steep city passes to strictly prevent the enemy from attacking.

The greedy wolf pass outside the Snow Wolf Valley in the north is guarded by the wolf lord himself. Dispatch 100,000 soldiers from the country to cooperate with the two major sects of the Blood Wolf Sect and the Bone Emperor Sect to increase the city's defense. And the other two roads, the western lone wolf is guarded by the wolf lord's general Wolf Zhennan, and there are 50,000 elite military horses in the city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack in the danger of the desert.

And the Snow Wolf Pass all the way to the east is guarded by the western general Bai Qiang Yong. It has 50,000 silver-armored soldiers, all of whom can ride iron-armored bulls, and there are more soldiers, which is very different from the Central Plains. It's even more urgent. Today's plan must be used to recruit generals who are accustomed to war, and when the three levels are broken, then the army to seize the Sky Wolf City can be like a bag to get something.

After listening to Lu Yang's talk about the three levels of troops on the front line, all the generals were silent. The climate of the north is like a cold season, regardless of spring and autumn, which can be described as pouring water into ice, and the mountains are cold and condensed. The soldiers fought in such a cold and frozen territory, not to mention the water and soil, and contracted the wind and cold chilblains, that is, the palm holding the blade was exposed for a long time, and it would be frozen stiff and numb, and it would be difficult to maintain. However, the wolf clan of the northern realm has lived here for generations, and surviving in the cold realm is as common as a daily routine.

"At present, the wolf master is in the Greedy Wolf Pass, and the palace leads an army of 100,000 to personally attack the Greedy Wolf Pass and hold on to the wolf master. For the soldiers marching from the other two passes, those in the west must cross the desert, and those in the east must wade through the ice fields. Among them, the journey is dangerous, which general is willing to go out independently to destroy the wolf clan for my Central Plains?" Princess Hua Shan asked the generals.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the last general Li Shanhe, is willing to lead a group of soldiers and horses to the Lone Wolf Pass and fight with the wolf clan!"

General Li Shanhe immediately stood up and asked for his life, and now Li Shanhe has gone through the horses, which is not as good as the days when he was a defense general in Moon Shadow City. Princess Huashan was overjoyed when she heard General Li's invitation to fight, and passed down the military order:

"The desert is difficult and dangerous, and the wolf soldiers are ferocious. Only heroes and brave generals can compete for the first place. General Li is the only candidate in our army! During this trip to the palace, General Li was given 45,000 military horses and 5,000 dragon and phoenix iron horses. Order General Li to break through the Lone Wolf Pass and march into the desert within ten days!"

Li Shanhe was ordered to go, but there were already two of the three military horses, and there was still no one to attack the Oriental Snow Wolf Pass. Taiwei Dong Xing immediately stood up and said to the princess: "Your Royal Highness the princess." The soldiers in the Snow Wolf Pass are savage, and if they don't surrender, it will be a big disaster. Now the old man is willing to fight for my Tang Dynasty, please allow Her Royal Highness the princess to allow the old man to go out for the country and serve the battlefield!"

"Taiwei Dong, you are old, how can you go to war with the army? Moreover, the cold wind in the ice field is bone-chilling, Taiwei does not have to take risks, this palace ordered to find his generals and go to the expedition. "Princess Huashan saw that the old lady was old, but she still had to go to the front line to break the enemy. Immediately, he couldn't help but stop it. Taiwei Dong Xing watched her grow up in the palace since she was a child, and Princess Huashan was reluctant to let him go, let alone let this Taiwei, who was in his last years, personally take risks.

"Your Highness the Princess...... Lao Chen dedicated his life to the Tang Dynasty, but he only had one wish in this life, that is, to spend his life for his family and country. Now, I finally have this opportunity, please ask Her Royal Highness the princess, trust the old man once, and the old man will definitely lead the troops to take the Snow Wolf Pass and serve the Son of Heaven......

Eighty-two-year-old Taiwei Dong Xing bowed down in front of the princess at this time, bowed his head and bowed to fight. made Princess Huashan unbearable. Fighting for the country is exactly the ambition that this old minister has hidden all his life! This makes it really difficult for her to make a decision at this moment.

Taiwei Dong Xing has always been a well-read soldier and a good versatility in tactics. At the same time, this person's scheming is extraordinary. Now that he is old, he should be more steady, not as eager as a young general. Against those Western barbarians, they are sure to break the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so the Snow Wolf Pass all the way, it is necessary for Taiwei Dong Xing to go. But Taiwei Dong is old, I'm afraid he will ......

Thinking of this, Princess Hua Shan looked at Mrs. Dong worriedly, and her heart was hesitant. But Dong Xing's eyes, which had already been cloudy and discolored, radiated a look of longing. Seeing him like this, Princess Hua Shan not only sighed. Now is the time to employ people, the soldiers are brave, if the general Cheng Yunxiao is ordered to go, I am afraid that according to his temperament, he will definitely not use his wits to break the enemy. Under the strong attack, there will be heavy casualties.

"Captain Dong listens to the order!" Princess Hua Shan also figured it out, the current situation of the Great War in the Northern Regions has been completed, and she must work hard to break the enemy. So he ordered: "Dong Xing, the Tang Lieutenant, Liu Guang, the deputy general, the Tiger Wing General, and Wen Yue, the hussar general." A total of 45,000 horses and 5,000 dragons and phoenixes rode iron. Ordered Taiwei Dong to break through the Snow Wolf Pass and march into the snow field within ten days!"
