Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 765 Snow

Although the snow was heavy, it only fell for an hour and then stopped.

The dark clouds suddenly disappeared, and there was even a warm sun in the sky.

After drinking the broth, Li Suan felt like he was back in the world.

However, during the march in the wind and snow, more than 300 people froze to death, and more than 2,000 horses froze to death.

"Fortunately, winter hasn't completely set in yet, otherwise we all would have froze to death on the grassland." Li Tang glanced at the generals of the Southern Army, "You guys are able to rush thousands of miles to attack here. The Beifu Army is indeed the strongest army in the world!"

The other armies all retreated due to the severe cold weather.

Only their Liaodong Army braved the bitter cold and fought their way here.

"Your Highness is ridiculous. Now that the two armies are combined into one, the chances of winning are greatly increased!" Xie Xuan cupped his hands and said.

"Combined into one army?" Li Tuan unfolded the map, "How about a flanking attack from the east and west? Tuoba Shiyijian is stationed in White Wolf City, which is about eighty miles northwest of here."

"Split the army?" Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he thought so too.

Once the army is united, all problems arise.

Who listens to whom? Who is the forward? How to distribute food, grass, loot, etc. are all problems.

Moreover, Xie Xuan also saw that the composition of the Liaodong Army was complex, consisting of Yi Cong, Buqu, Zhenjun, and the Northern Army. This kind of army was the most difficult to achieve unified command.

The key is that there is no time to clean up.

"What His Highness said is absolutely true!"

"Then without further ado, see you in White Wolf City!" Li Tang drank the hot soup in one gulp, then stood up and shook off the ice and snow on his body. He mounted the horse again and raised his long spear, "Thank you, General. See you later."

"Take care, Your Highness."

The two were unconvinced.

Not long after Li Tuan left, Xie Xuan also raised his army.

After resting for a few hours, the soldiers recovered a lot of energy and spirit.

The army marched north through the snow.

The warm sun in the sky slowly sinks to the west, and the golden red sky complements the white snow on the ground. At the end of the wilderness, wolves wander on the hills, letting out desolate howls.

The deer heard the howl and fled toward the broadleaf forest in the northeast in panic.

Although this place is bitter and cold, it is also full of vitality.

After walking less than twenty miles, I saw an endless lake stretching in front of me. The ice surface was like a mirror, and the darkness under the mirror was deep and dark.

"Don't worry about the horses, speed up. We must reach White Wolf City before dark!" Xie Xuan ordered.

In this kind of weather, all living beings, whether they are humans or horses, can be frozen to death in one night.

Either the enemy dies or oneself dies.

The white cold air descends with the night and spreads on the horizon.

A thin layer of ice quickly formed on the armor of the soldiers. Occasionally, a war horse whined, foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. The cavalry on the horse climbed up from the ground and climbed onto another war horse.

It was getting colder and colder all around, and some people's fingers were frozen to the reins.

The chill in Xie Xuan's heart became more and more serious. If they couldn't take White Wolf City, death would be waiting for them.

"General, three enemy armies from White Wolf City are attacking our army from the east and west." Two scouts rushed towards us.

There was a team of fifty-one when we went, but only two people were left when we came back. Most of them died not from the enemy's bows and swords, but from the severe cold.

Hearing the news, Xie Xuan felt happy. He was not afraid of meeting the enemy, but he was afraid of taking the wrong road and freezing to death in the wilderness.

"Kill!" Xie Xuan waved his sword and took the lead.

Before life and death, the soldiers broke out with unprecedented murderous intent.

There is only one hope for survival, that is to defeat the enemy and capture White Wolf City!

In the dusk, the two armies soon met.

In an instant, the ground trembled and the mountains shook. Liang Jun all became desperadoes. They united as one and marched forward bravely.

Anything that stands in their way will be destroyed.

At this moment, Liang Jun only had one thing in his eyes, and that was the city with a bonfire ahead.

There were warm tents, steaming broth, and women!

"Kill!" Every soldier turned into a beast.

Since he took the initiative to follow Xie Xuan northward, no one was a coward.

The Xianbei people collapsed at the touch of thin ice, and their proud barbarity was not worth mentioning in front of the Central Plains cavalry. No matter how many people rush forward, they can't stop the pace of this desperate army.

"Break the White Wolf City, and you can take whatever is in the city!" Xie Xuan, a famous scholar from Jiangdong, also showed his bestiality at this moment. He was kind and could not control his troops. In the face of war, it was only life and death.

"Long live! Long live!"

In the midst of the bloody storm, the soldiers burst into bursts of ferocious laughter, echoing the howls of wolves in the sky.

White Wolf City is said to be a city, but in fact it is just a low wall surrounded by earth, and an earthen building is considered a city gate.

A soldier with excellent riding skills can jump over it in one leap.

However, the Xianbei people were also prepared in the city and set up a layer of antlers. The cavalryman who was the first to cross the low wall happened to hit the antlers and was penetrated by a wooden stake.

The war horses screamed miserably on the stakes.

However, no one will care about them at this time.

Liang Jun turned into a moth and rushed towards the bonfire in the city with the thin ice all over his body.

"Come and die!" A Xianbei chieftain laughed loudly, waving a torch and commanding the infantry to surround him with spears.

The spears are like layers of reeds.

Arrows rained down from the sky towards the charging Liang Jun cavalry, but they hit the armor and made bursts of clanging sounds.

"General Huan!" Xie Xuan shouted when he was about to be surrounded by layers of Xianbei people.

"Huan Zhene is here!" A cavalry galloped out, their armor covered with a thin layer of blood-red ice, waving their war spears, and led more than a hundred cavalry towards the place where the spears were most abundant.

Lifting the reins with his left hand, the war horse turned left as if he had a tacit understanding. The war spear swung, like a huge giant, knocking open the spear in front of him.

Several riders behind him charged in, killing several people in a row before being stabbed into a hedgehog, opening a small gap.

Huan Shi quickly reined in his horse and followed the cavalry into the gap.

There was a burst of flesh and blood, the gap was torn open, and the enemy's array collapsed.

"Today's matter is about life or death. All my sons, follow me and charge!" After returning to Daliang, with his iron horse fighting fiercely and his fierce horse wielding wild swords, Xie Xuan seemed to have been reborn. He was no longer the famous Jiangdong scholar he once was.

Daliang's high-spirited and enterprising atmosphere has subtly influenced many people.

The Xianbei people are also resisting to the death. In such a cold weather, everyone knows that once they are driven out of the city, there is only one way to die.

No one can retreat.

"kill--"

There were desperadoes on both sides, fighting crazily in this small city.

White Wolf City became Blood Wolf City.

After all, there are so many people in Xianbei, layer by layer, endless, as if they can never be killed.

The southern troops fell one by one, or were dragged into the rebel army by the Xianbei people's lasso, and chopped into a pool of bloody mud.

Both sides were running out of gas, but no one retreated.

Liang's army was elite and Xianbei's army was large.

"Thank you, General, I'm here to help you!" Among the rebels, a cavalry group came out from the west, led by a general, with a sword in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, killing several people in a row.

This team became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Li Tuan took the lead and attacked where the enemy troops were thickest, waving his sword and laughing wildly, as if he was enjoying the killing.

Xie Xuan looked at his figure, slightly dazed.

"Where is Tuoba Shi Yijian?" Li Suan's wild shouts became farther and farther away, and the enemy army was defeated.

In less than an hour, White Wolf City returned to peace.

Large areas of prisoners were lying on the ground, but no trace of Tuoba Shi Yijian was found.

It was learned from the prisoners that two days ago, Tuoba Shi Yijian led 20,000 tribesmen to Haicheng in the northwest.

The North Sea is huge, eight hundred miles across.

If Tuoba Shi Yijian were in this city, I'm afraid this battle would be even more difficult.

"Hey, you're a step too late!" Li Tang nailed the notched ring-headed knife to the ground.
