The ghost mother snow sculpture scouts sent by Hong Yu are still nervously patrolling inside and outside the Frost Pass, searching for the "expected" main force of the Hualang army, and the "vanguard troops" of the two thousand Hualang countries have gradually approached the Frost Pass.

Yu Chengji is also very nervous, he has not experienced any big battles, he is seriously inexperienced, and it is okay to deal with simple positional battles, now in this "weird" situation, he has no idea at all, and follows Hong Yu all day long, on the one hand, he really needs someone to help him get his idea, on the other hand, there is also the idea that in case of defeat, he can shift the responsibility to Hong Yu.

Hong Yu also saw this very clearly, and he didn't care about it, because obviously Yu Chengji only had some low-level cleverness, and he didn't know anything about the power operation of the high-level in Great Xia. If he is really defeated, even if it is Hong Ershao who personally commands him, then the scapegoat must be him Yu Chengji.

Hong Shen and Hong Yin also wondered, what means did Hua Lang use? But if Hua Lang really had such a peerless general, who could hide the eyes of the ghost mother snow sculpture in the sky, and they were beaten by Ha Sang every time and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, would Zuihou still have to send troops to rescue them in Da Xia?

Hong Yu was also puzzled at first, but soon figured it out: sitting on this Shijie's first formed Desolate Beast Cavalry Regiment, even if Hua Lang dispatched tens of thousands of troops and all kinds of conspiracies, he could easily win. At worst, it is still possible to break through with a bloody path.

So the lord's calm and calm mood gradually infected the people around him, and the eighteen martial artists, the dead warriors of the underworld, the hunter team, and the generals of the Hong family were also relieved, feeling that Young Master Yu must be confident.

These generals are not so confident in Hong Yu, but everyone else has already experienced a lot of things with Hong Yu, Young Master Yu can make the impossible possible, and win a war that should have been expected, which is also a thing?

Those generals asked privately, and the hunter team told the "great" deeds of Young Master Yu vividly. What happened in Zangyun Mountain last year, even if it didn't add oil and vinegar, it was still dumbfounded, not to mention that the beast hunters traveled south and north, and the habitual exaggeration of telling stories

The generals almost knocked off their jaws: it turned out that the second young master, who was usually inconspicuous in the mansion, was so tough

The old gods of the Desolate Beast Cavalry Regiment are here, waiting for the "tricks" of the Hualang Kingdom to show their hideous minions.

But in the midst of the frost, tension spreads.

The vanguard of 2,000 people is not scary, but the scary thing is that the main force that cannot find the other side has not gone through the war for a long time, and after many years of rotation system, only 20% of the troops stationed here are veterans who have experienced the baptism of war.

And calling them "veterans" is only relative to the recruits in the Frost Pass. The vast majority of them will participate in no more than three wars.

The real elites of Great Xia are all in the northern battlefield. Maybe there are some on the border of Canglan and Hesang, but it will definitely not be on the side of Hualang

Under this nervous mood, various rumors began to spread.

Under the fanning of some well-intentioned people, a rumor gradually spread in the Frost Pass: the enemy is currently the only general who can fight in the Frost Pass, and the young master from Wudu has been killed, and the Frost Pass will definitely be defeated

What will the son-in-law of Wudu do? And Hong Yu's reputation can no longer be described as "bad", it is completely poor.

So soon, Hong Yu became the culprit of the current "crisis" among the ordinary soldiers in the frost pass.

"Hong Er can't fight, you don't know, there have been rumors in Wudu for a long time, the second generation of the Hong family is full of geniuses, and the third generation is full of waste

"General Shen Xun is a fierce general, before on the Chu-Yue border, the mountain barbarians who killed him fled from the wind, known as Shen Beheaded, a peerless famous general, but he was killed by this young master who found a reason to kill him"

"If it weren't for him, we would have found the location of the main force of the Hualang Kingdom army a long time ago, and it would never be as passive as now"

"Those children of the family are here to use the lives of our ordinary soldiers to accumulate military merits for them, so that they can climb up again. Our life, for them, is just a number, grass people, how can people care about your life or death?"

Soon Hong Yu and the people around him felt that the attitude of the soldiers in the Frost Pass towards them was becoming more and more blunt, even if they didn't dare to resist openly, they definitely had the kind of heartfelt respect they had before.

This kind of respect was originally because of Old Man Hong's great military exploits. But now, it's all consumed by rumors.

Hong Yu remained silent and secretly told Zhuang Ze: "Find out who is playing these little tricks down there." ”

That night, Zhuang Ze hadn't found out yet, Lian Xinhou and Tan Bangdao came to visit, entered Hong Yu's room, and didn't take long to come out with a happy face.

The two were very happy, and they looked at each other and smiled: "I am worried that I can't find a chance to behave in front of my son, and Shen Xun's foolish remnants just gave us this opportunity."

"Hahaha"

After the two left, Guan Ling came in: "Young master, today there is a conflict between the soldiers of Frost Pass and our people, although it is only a quarrel, but today is a day, there have been three times." Only once yesterday and the day before yesterday. It's growing fast. And ......"

She glanced at Hong Yu, and Hong Yu said lightly: "Say." ”

"And they said bad things about the young master behind their backs, deliberately letting us hear it. ”

Hong Yu was indifferent: "What to say?"

Guan Ling gritted his teeth and said: "Say that you killed Shen Xun by unscrupulous means in order to grab military merits." Say that you are not worthy of being the grandson of the old general Hong Shengri, and you will be a shame for the Hong family. To say that you don't understand anything, that you don't know anything, is to exchange the lives of ordinary soldiers for military merits"

In fact, he also said one thing: said that he was 'disorderly' in the military camp, but this Guan Ling couldn't say it.

Shen Xun's remnants have been jumping up and down recently, stirring up trouble everywhere, and doing everything to hit Hong Yu.

Su San was furious, and asked in a calm voice, "Young Master, do you want to kill a hundred people?"

Hong Yu waved his hand: "My grandfather and ...... Fathers, uncles, and sisters-in-law are all soldiers, they take meager salaries, guard the frontier for the country, separate from their relatives all the year round, and are ready to give their lives at any time. They deserve respect, and for their sake, it's nothing for us to suffer. ”

Su San and the others stopped talking, Hong Yin and Hong Shen were on the side, but they could understand Hong Yu's mood, they were also born in the army, and they had a deeper understanding of the dedication and sacrifice of soldiers than anyone present. The two of them looked at each other, and there was some warmth in their hearts. Second Young Master, it's really different from before, and it's very different.

When the frost closed, a team of patrolling soldiers walked by, and Ma Tianyu looked around, and another patrol came head-on. He and the opposing team were greeting each other, and everyone got together to talk.

"It's so cold. ”

"yes. ”

"Alas, if it weren't for that gentleman who offended the country of Hualang, where would we be able to suffer like this, and we would have to patrol on such a cold day. ”

"There's no way, who made us just a little soldier, with a bad background. ”

Ma Tianyu instigated two sentences, stopped at the point, and waved his hand at him slightly: "Okay, continue to patrol, otherwise we will be seen by that loser, and we will be punished if we seize the reason." ”

This patrol, around the wall twice, encountered six patrol teams, each time he had to say more or less bad things about Hong Yu, ruined Hong Yu's reputation, and instigated the relationship between Hong Yu and the soldiers of Frost Pass.

He didn't know that all of his actions fell into the eyes of the people who arranged for Lian Xinhou and Tan Bangdao to spy on them.

Patrol completed. When the team returned to their barracks, the deputy asked with some uncertainty, "Old Ma, is this useful?"

Ma Tianyu said with a calm face: "Even if the soldiers who can't instigate mutiny and kill Hong Yu, they can guarantee that they will be broken by Hualang Country in the Frost Pass, and when we take the opportunity to assassinate that stupid man, no one will save him."

The team deputy asked again: "Is the frost pass really unguardable?"

Ma Tianyu smiled: "In the entire Frost Pass, except for that fool Hong Yu's blind confidence, who else thinks that the Frost Pass can be held?"

The three princes of Hualang Kingdom stood on a mountain peak, holding a pergola in their hands, and looked at the majestic frost pass from afar.

This was the first time he had stood under the second Xiongguan in the eastern part of Great Xia, a majestic wall as high as twenty zhang, even if he looked at it from such a distance, the degree of shock was still huge.

Even compared to the capital of Hualang Country, Frost Pass is not inferior.

The two Sipin Tongfa beside the third prince also came to the border between the two countries for the first time, and the three of them were all shocked for a while, and after a while, the third prince laughed and said: "Even if there is such a natural danger, it is a waste for the soldiers guarding the pass to not have a warrior's heart." ”

"Exactly, my Hualang warriors are invincible in the world, and they are going to use this majestic pass to show their toughness" The two Sipin Tongfa also said in unison.

The third prince smiled slightly, raised his hand and ordered: "Set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and break through the frost pass early tomorrow morning."

"Yes"

Woo, woo

The horn sounded, and the 2,000 troops of Hualang Country set up a formation under the frost pass, and rushed over with a "mighty" killing. The two thousand men and horses were divided into two parts by His Royal Highness the Three Princes, one thousand people attacked the Frost Pass, and the other thousand people served as a reserve, protecting the Three Princes themselves on the one hand, and also as a reserve on the other hand.

The three princes sat on their horses, accompanied by two four-rank generals.

At the level of Hong Shen and Hong Yin, as long as there is enough strategic depth, they can slaughter an army of 1,000 people alone, but the Sipin Tongfa obviously does not have this strength, so the two Sipin Tongfa and the three princes saw the charge of a thousand people that was rare in Hualang Country, and their blood boiled.
