Chapter 214 Persecution (thirteen)

The wind stops and the snow stops, and today is a rare winter weather.

Among the high mountains and ridges north of the clouds, a black army was walking through the mountain roads with difficulty.

The men and horses were all wearing leather robes and dressed in a mess, but they were divided into order according to one team of 100 people.

Although all these knights had horses, or even had two horses, they had never ridden them and walked with their mounts down.

Among the two horses each led, one of them was a pack horse. The horse was covered with skins of all sizes, all of which were eaten with dried meat, cheese and other food. Many pack horses were carrying armor, bows and arrows, and the weight was quite heavy.

I have been walking in the snow for many days. These pack horses have become skinny and shaking in the snow. The war horses that have not yet carried weight have also lost a lot of weight, but generally they still look like they can go into battle.

This team of 100 people winds through the mountain road, with nearly 100 teams. The forward was almost out of the valley, and the rear tail was still more than ten miles away.

After this team, there were more herd slaves. These herd slaves were skinny and wrapped in tattered robes, driving thousands of sheep and thousands of horses to replace. There were also Han-style cars in the team, carrying heavy supplies, and the cars were trapped in the snow. These herd slaves were driven forward by the knights and shouted horns to push the car out.

When the car sways and continues on the road, there are often several thin shepherd slaves who can no longer get up, and then they are dragged to the side of the road by the knights and thrown into the snow, regardless of it. No one in the roaring team looked at them again.

It is such a logistics team that ensures that nearly 10,000 soldiers ahead travel through the snowfield, cross the mountains, and are about to enter the Yunzhong Basin!

Every 100-man team in this team is under the banner of Green Wolf.

It is the must-do!

For the Turks, they never went south in winter. When they sent troops in summer and autumn, as long as they broke through the mountain defense lines and went deep into the Han land, there would be food and goods people to plunder. The Turkic army never brought much baggage, and it was often a net profit after a battle. The Han border was constantly ravaged and blood lost, and eventually gradually weakened until the door opened, allowing the Hu Qi to go south and go deeper into more places without any stop.

Or, in the late Jin Dynasty, the Hu Qi trampled on the entire Central Plains, almost cutting off the inheritance of Chinese civilization in one fell swoop!

Unless, as last year, several Han army units gathered together, famous generals such as Li Yuan, Wang Rengong, Liu Wuzhou, etc., Heng'an Yingyang soldiers were even more guarding Yunzhong, and finally rushed out and intercepted them. This made the Zhibi army suffer a lot of losses, and the robbed goods and food population could not take away much.

The Turkic sent troops in winter was a heavy burden for most of the people. Even if they had all the soldiers, they didn’t know how many herds, slaves, horses, livestock, and accumulated food they had to be lost. But they couldn’t get anything in exchange for. After a battle in winter, a large number of people would often be unable to recover!

But at this moment, Zhibi's troops were sending troops in winter and pointing to the clouds!

In the long team, a 100-man team suddenly advanced. The 100-man team was all riding on horseback. These mounts should have been replaced from time to time, and they are still fat enough now. They are quite majestic while running.

The horse knights and the leather robe were covered with Han-style armor, the iron reflected the snow light, and a piece of metal was reflected and leaped.

The Green Wolf Flag played by the 100-member team is as high as 100 meters, which represents the King's tent of Zhibi. Under the Green Wolf, Zhibisili has a beard and a solemn expression.

In a blink of an eye, the guards of the Zhengbi Division had arrived at the front of the team. The team had stopped, and the captain of the Five Hundred and Six Hundred People Team was already standing here, just waiting for the arrival of Zhengbisli.

This is already the place of the mountain pass. The original beacon towers and the like in the winter mountain road were temporarily abandoned. All the troops on duty retreated to the beacon towers south of the mountain pass to spend the winter. The saved troops were withdrawn to Yunzhong City to rest.

Looking down from the mountain pass, you can see a small fortress bulging in the snow field. The flag of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion flutters in the fortress, and smoke from cooking is rising. It seems that it is time for the defenders in the fortress to have their meals.

Several centurions had haggard and tired faces. They traveled through the mountains in winter and went to the clouds. Even for the fierce Qinglang Knight, it was an extremely difficult task. Now they finally crossed the mountains, and the place in front of them was the place in the clouds!

The power of Zhibis seems to be much more mature than that of more than a thousand Yue tents, but at the waist, it is also equipped with a jade pendant of the Han style.

He looked coldly at the peaceful fortress and ordered several forward centurions: "No matter what method you use, you must take down this fortress today! In this expedition, in addition to the Zhibi army taking out all his own savings, there are also war horses, livestock and herds slaves sent by the Khan tent to support this expedition! Zhibi family's green wolf has no way out!"

Several centurions of the Zhibi family roared softly, turned around and got on their own war horses. Hundreds of hedgehogs gathered in the mountain roads also turned over the war horses. Everyone took their bows and swords, and just waited for the order and rushed down the mountain!

Zhibisli did not hesitate at all. He showed a little bit that the wolf cavalry beside him had already leaned forward with the green wolf flag of the king's tent. Hundreds of green wolf cavalry, without making a sound, rushed out of the mountain pass and went down the mountain like a pack of wolves!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fortress opposite the mountain pass is now the northernmost defense place for Heng'an Yingyang Mansion.

The small fortress is actually just a beacon tower. It can accommodate about a team of soldiers on weekdays, but in winter, there are fewer than two fire soldiers left.

In summer and autumn, once the Yingyang soldiers guarding the beacon tower encounter an enemy, after igniting the beacon, they will often be submerged by the Turkic army, with a very high casualty rate. In winter, try to withdraw them back to Yunzhong City for a while.

The rest of the people are all eating or sleeping in this beacon tower. What are the Turks doing in the snow and ice? Can they do the losing business?

Several soldiers were basking in the sun on the beacon tower at this moment, talking nonsense. An old man was already gray and could not bear the gradual wind. He got up and turned around in the beacon tower.

Suddenly, the old man was stunned on the spot, and then he started to shake like a sieve.

A sergeant lying down smiled and said, "It's so cold that he looks like this? It's better to withdraw earlier, but Liu Yingzhe will always have a settlement. Why bother to endure here with us?"

The old man was trembling and finally squeezed out three words: "Green Wolf Flag!"

These three words immediately made the other people who were lazy in the sun jump up and looked north.

I saw a huge green wolf flag flying at the mountain pass hanging above my head. Under the green wolf flag, hundreds of black dots were in the sloping hillside, rolling snow dust, and rushing towards this small beacon!

Everyone was stunned and forgot how to react for a moment. In the end, the old man shouted in a trembling voice: "Beijing! Light the beijing! Warn to Yunzhongcheng!"

A soldier hurriedly raised the oil jar piled beside him and smashed it on the firewood they had just pillowed. Then he took the fire-driven cup inside, blew up the fire-driven head a few times, and hit it on the firewood. The fire first became a little, and then it quickly rose up. There was dry wolf dung in the firewood, and black smoke rose in the blink of an eye.
