Horse on the World

Chapter 275
Helinger, a little-known little place on the prairie, a winding river meanders and flows into the distance. The surface of the river more than two feet wide has already frozen, and the sparkling river is like a jade belt, inlaid in this land superior.A raised hill was originally full of thick poplars, but all of them have been cut down now.Here is the base camp of the mountain-moving division of the Dingzhou West Crossing Army.

After Guoshanfeng broke through and entered, he took advantage of the grassland's unprepared opportunity to defeat countless tribes along the way. The soldiers pointed directly at the royal court of the Bai people. When Bayar hurriedly mobilized all the troops, Guoshanfeng had arrived Helinger, the straight-line distance from Bayar's royal court is only more than a hundred miles away.

Guo Shanfeng stopped, and he chose Helinger as his camp. Compared with Tie Nige who was ecstatic and thought that the victory was in his hands, Guo Shanfeng knew very well that he was actually in the In the pack of tigers and wolves, if one is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out.

The purpose of opening up the second battlefield is not to annihilate the number of enemies, but the greater role is to restrain him. As long as he exists in this place, Bayar must concentrate his efforts to eradicate himself, otherwise, it is absolutely difficult for him to go all out to support For Hu He, existence is a threat, and Guo Shanfeng is very aware of the current situation.Therefore, when he arrived at Helinger, he fell in love with this place at a glance. He could attack and retreat.

The whole army of Yishan Division stopped and did one thing every day, how to make their camp stronger.So the thicker trees in Helinger's land were cut down cleanly, and even the roots were dug up and taken away. Of course, the branches and leaves could not be pulled down. Under the strong request of the mountain wind, Helinger was swept away.

The soldiers below don't know how long this battle will last, but Guo Shanfeng and other generals know well that before defeating Huhe, their army will become a lone army, and they must persist until the middle of winter or even Longer, then, of course, all the useful things that can be collected must not be let go.Logistical supply is the most troublesome problem for Guo Shanfeng. Although Deng Peng's navy transported a large amount of replenishment energy to Shiwei Port, as the army deepened, the supply line became longer and longer. After reaching Helinger, It was already quite difficult to get supplies. Tienig sent more than [-] troops to ensure the safety of this supply line, but Guo Shanfeng also knew that with the deepening of the war, this supply line would be cut off by Bayar at any time. .

Gathering supplies has become the most important task of Guoshanfeng during this period.When the Helinger camp was completed, Guo Shanfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the supplies gathered could supply the army for about two months.

Compared with the haste of passing the mountain wind, Tie Nige just seemed to be a little worried about gains and losses. From the arrogance when he first entered the pass, the iron cavalry swept across the wilderness and the wilderness, and later it became more and more difficult. After he finally met Bayar's Long Xiaojun, he finally understood the difference between the Shiwei cavalry and the grassland cavalry.Under Lien Chan's losing streak, Tienig finally began to face up to the reality, led his army closer to the mountain wind, and never dared to rampage on the grassland again.

Tie Nige's camp is about five miles away from Guo Shanfeng's camp. They both stand against the small mountain ridge and face the winding river. The difference from Guo Shanfeng's mature camp defense system is that The defense of Tienig's camp was relatively simple, and the Shiwei people still had enough confidence in their field combat capabilities.What's more, on their flanks, there was a mountain wind barrier. If Bayar wanted to attack any fortress, he had to deal with attacks from the flanks at the same time.

Not long after the completion of the Helinger camp, Bayar finally mobilized enough troops and began to attack this lone army that had penetrated into the grassland. After more than a month of bloody battle, every inch of Helinger's land was stained with blood. , but Helinger's camp is still standing.The abundant materials stored in the early stage of Guoshanfeng finally started to play a huge role.

Bayar first chose to attack Guo Shanfeng's camp. Facing Guo Shanfeng's mature defense system and sophisticated weapons and equipment, as well as Tienig's flank attacks, Bayar paid a huge price. , also failed to win the opponent.The war was at a stalemate.Bayar's only gain was to finally cut off the army's logistical replenishment line, and now it is impossible for these two battalions to receive any supplies from the rear.

Bayar became visibly haggard. The half-year-long war had exhausted the newly established Yuanwu Empire. The Qing and Blue Divisions were destroyed one after another, and the Red Division rebelled. His strength declined sharply. His two sons, Najina Ben Xiangduan was killed in battle, and the duel between himself and Li Qing has completely fallen into a disadvantage. The current hurdle is even more related to the survival of the Yuanwu Empire. The Wu Empire can be expected to destroy the country.But the enemies in front of him were like two rocks in the ocean, although they were riddled with holes by the wind and waves, they still stuck in his heart like a thorn.

The weather has become more severe. The continuous heavy snow these days has made the entire Helinger snow cover more than a foot deep. Stop, any day of delay can be devastating.

Riding his horse and standing in front of the army formation, letting the flying snowflakes cover his body, Bayar stared at the slightly blurred camp on the other side of the river, and said hoarsely: "Attack!"

Braving the heavy snow, groups of prairie infantry stepped forward with difficulty stepping on the snow that almost reached their knees.After a day of fierce fighting yesterday, the broken ice of the creek had just been re-frozen, but it was immediately stepped on by thousands of big feet, and after a creaking sound, it shattered again, shining brightly. The ice balls were attached to the soldier's legs, and the body seemed to be decorated with some crystal chips, shining brightly.Biting cold eroded the pawn's body,
The trebuchets in the Dingzhou barracks began to fight back. Obviously, there were not many trebuchets on the other side, and the stone bombs were exhausted. What were thrown were ice bombs one by one. Condensed with water, using the current temperature to make ice bombs.Compared with the dense rain of stone bullets a while ago, this level of attack is almost non-existent.

The flanking war drums sounded, and the Tienig cavalry began to leave the camp, making a gesture of flanking the barbarians, and Boyan, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately waved his troops to meet them.

"The people of Dingzhou are at the end of their battle!" Bayar said in a deep voice. "If you take down the Dingzhou people, the Shiwei people will lose their morale."

In the Dingzhou army camp, Guoshan Feng stood on the camp wall, and his terrifying mace stood beside him.Looking at the barbarians approaching the camp step by step,
"Ginger Black Cow!"

"The end is here!"

"Xiong Dewu!"

"The end is here!"

"Open the camp gate and attack!"

The two camp gates on the left and right of the camp suddenly opened, Dingzhou soldiers poured out like a tide, and rushed towards the attacking barbarians. The barbarians shot from behind. This move was the partition tactic that the Dingzhou Army was best at using.Block the rear army and concentrate superior forces to annihilate the front enemy.

The bloody battle broke out again.Tens of thousands of people on both sides of the enemy were strangled together in the ice and snow. Either you will die or I will die.Streams of fresh blood sprayed out, staining the snow red, and were soon trampled down by countless pairs of big feet, turning it into some bloody mud.

At the same time, hundreds of miles away from Heyanger, on the east side of the royal court of the Bai people, an army is marching with difficulty. The leader is one-armed. After waiting for many days, Guan Xinglong and his Hengdao Battalion received Lu Dalin's order to move forward and directly penetrate into the royal court of the Bai people.

This was the most difficult march for Guan Xinglong since he was in the army. The snow was so thick that it was completely white as far as the eye could see. But in the midst of stumbles, he still approached the royal court of the Bai people step by step.

The Hengdao Battalion had only 5000 of the [-] troops when they set out. In the snowstorm, there were hundreds of people who were left behind and exhausted, but Guan Xinglong didn't care about them.All the horses were used to pull the luggage, and even Guan Xinglong himself, like ordinary soldiers, was struggling in the thick snow.

"When will this son of a bitch's heavy snow fall?" Guan Xinglong touched the hair on his face, and between his eyebrows and hairline, ice had already formed. When he touched it with his hand, he frowned in pain.

"General, general, a barbarian settlement is found ahead!" In the snow, several scouts who explored the road ran over rolling and crawling.

Guan Xinglong lifted his spirits, "How big is it? How many people are there?" Almost all the barbarians are soldiers, even some healthy women can draw bows and shoot arrows, so there are almost as many soldiers as there are.

"My lord, not many, there are only a few hundred tents at most." The scout said excitedly.

Guan Xinglong laughed, there are hundreds of tents, at most several thousand people, after being recruited by Bayar, there may not be many fighters among these tribes, even if everyone in them can fight, but in such heavy snow weather, some Who would have thought that a Dingzhou army would suddenly appear here?

"Guys!" Guan Xinglong waved a broadsword with one arm, "Take down the enemies in front, let's have a sip of hot soup, get a good night's sleep, and then go fight their royal court."

After several days of marching, Guan Xinglong and his army were exhausted. Hearing Guan Xinglong's words, green light appeared in each of their eyes. Drinking hot soup and getting a good night's sleep is the best thing for them now. Temptation, of course, if you want to achieve this goal, you must first sweep away the enemies in front of you.

The Hengdao Battalion quickly untied the horses from the sleigh carts, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion began to arrange their equipment, then mounted the horses, and under the guidance of the scouts, they went around from both sides, while the infantry attacked from the front.

There was no suspense in the battle, it was a completely one-sided battle. All the adult men in this tribe had been taken away. When the Dingzhou soldiers rushed into this settlement like wolves and tigers, what caught their eyes was the panic-stricken faces. The color of the old and weak women and children.
