One day later, Sun Shangxiang, Qin Shiyuan and Gao Shun hurried back to Hongyan City.
Under Yue Chen's order, all the exclusive troops were dispatched. The exclusive troops of Xu Chu and Sun Shangxiang went to join Mu Guiying on their own, and the two main generals stayed to protect Yue Chen.
One day later, all the soldiers and horses joined Mu Guiying.
At this time, the Qing State Army was only a hundred miles away from Tianhe City.
In the wee hours of the morning, no accident, the fog was getting more and more foggy.
Coupled with the gloomy sky, the visibility of the eyes is extremely low.
The wind was howling, and the depressed soldiers trembled in the tent.
When the Qing State Army set up camp, Yu Wenqing summoned his generals and shouted: "Generals, the Red Rock Army is hanging behind us. They must be looking for a chance to attack, so tonight, they will definitely come to the camp.
I also ask you generals to cheer up, but don't be cut off in the middle of the night. "
After speaking, Yu Wenqing got up and bowed his hands to the generals: "Generals, there are still two days, as long as we can return to Tianhe City, we will be safe.
With the help of the city and the 40,000 army, Hongyan City must not dare to attack the city. "
"Marshal, you are killing us."
Many generals knelt down on one knee and did not dare to accept Yu Wenqing's salute.
After being polite, Yu Wenqing drew the sword from his waist and slashed it on the table, cutting off the corner of the table neatly, and shouted coldly: "If anyone dares to neglect their duties today and hurt other brothers, I will kill him.
Please also your Majesty punish him. "
The murderous words shocked all the soldiers.
"Well, everyone, go out!"
Yu Wenqing waved, and the generals left the camp.
As soon as everyone left, Yu Wenqing sat paralyzed on the ground. Just now, holding back his energy, his illness became more serious.
"call!"
The strong wind blew and rolled up the curtain at the door, and the wind was mixed with bursts of snowflakes.
"Snowing!"
Yu Wenqing murmured, his face changed drastically, "No, this is heaven to kill me."
"It's snowing, God helped me too!"
On the hillside, Mu Guiying stretched out her hand, looking at the snowflakes falling on the palm of her hand, a bright and beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Behind Mu Guiying, a large number of soldiers lined up, extending to an endless distance in the thick fog.
"Everyone drinks a bowl of strong wine, eats half a catty of beef, and stands by at any time..." Yu Wenqing dragged his sick body out of the camp, roaring: "Come on, give my order, the enemy will surely rob the camp tonight and arrange 10,000 people Be warned, the rest of the people put armour to sleep, those who rest without authorization, cut! Order, boil water to water the city crossbow, do not, the city crossbow must not be frozen.
Which of the city-breaking crossbows froze, and the soldiers in charge cut a decision. "
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the heavy snow like feathers is falling one after another.
Outside the big camp, the wind screamed... as if countless ghosts were hiding in the darkness and roaring.
The army strictly followed Yu Wenqing's orders and waited for the enemy to rob the camp.
One hour passed.
The tight nerves are getting tighter, and the spirit is getting tired.
The howling north makes everyone's lips turn purple with freezing cold.
Two hours passed.
The enemy still did not appear, the soldiers shrank into a ball in the cold wind and barely lit a bonfire to keep warm.
Six hours passed...Snow covered the insteps.
The soldiers were exhausted, and someone fell in the snow from time to time and never got up again.
At three o'clock in the morning, this is when people are most exhausted. Many people stand and fall asleep.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The earth quaked.
Liu Sandao, who had shrunk into a ball, was awakened suddenly and roared, "The enemy attacked.
All the soldiers follow the orders and line up! "
The soldiers were forcibly awakened and looked out of the barracks with great vigor.
The thick fog is too thick to see clearly.
"It's a cavalry!"
Liu Sandao's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "Archers, City Breaking Crossbows, Shield Soldiers, Spear Soldiers, all are in place, and those who violate the order shall be cut."
I have to say that Yu Wenqing has a very strong ability to lead troops. Even with such exhaustion, this unit has also become vigorous and formed a camp against the cavalry.
Yu Wenqing was awakened and walked out of the camp under the leadership of his guards.
"Quickly break through my crossbow formation with cavalry!"
Yu Wenqing shouted in a low voice, "The enemy leader is the one who knows the soldiers."
"Marshal, this is a shame."
Zhang Han looked extremely ugly on the side, and said solemnly, "Although there are few Red Rock Army, their troops are indeed elite."
If it were not for the elite, how could Yu Wenqing be so careful that he would have led the army to fight back.
Yu Wenqing shouted: "If the order continues, you will be able to reach Tianhe City in only two days. There is no need to save bows and arrows. All weapons will be shot out for me.
All soldiers, stand up to meet the enemy. "
The messenger hurried away to pass the order.
The thick fog is too big to see the enemy's figure clearly, but Liu Sandao, the general under Yu Wenqing, put his ear in the snow and judged the enemy based on the vibration of the earth.
"About three thousand cavalry.
There are four hundred steps left, all the crossbow troops obey orders..." "There are three hundred steps left, shoot me! "
Liu Sandao roared, "The archer prepares, listen to my orders."
There is a city-breaking crossbow, which can effectively fight the cavalry.
The powerful crossbow bolts can penetrate several cavalry.
As long as you are hit, you will not die or be disabled.
The sparse crossbow arrows shot into the distance.
Liu Sandao, who continued to stick to the ground, his face changed slightly... He found that after the city-breaking crossbow was shot out, the opponent's cavalry seemed to be no less.
"General!"
The soldiers hurriedly reported, "Our city-breaking crossbow was frozen by heavy snow."
Liu Sandao's face changed drastically, and he roared, "Don't you keep the boiling water poured?"
Chuan Lingbing shook his head violently and said: "The pouring is pouring, but the weather is too cold. It was frozen just now."
Liu Sandao's heart fell to the bottom.
For a long time, fighting in winter has always been a taboo for military strategists. I originally thought that Hongyan City could be broken with a finger. Who could have thought that it would drag on for so long.
Including Yu Wenqing and Liu Sandao, they have no experience in protecting the city-breaking crossbow in the cold winter.
"Archer, get ready, shoot me!"
The dense arrow rain scattered to the sky.
Seeing the numerous arrows rain, Liu Sandao's face suddenly lightened.
"Don't stop, don't save arrows, keep shooting!"
Waves of arrow rain poured into the sky.
After shooting four or five consecutive waves.
"Crack!"
The sound of broken bows and arrows sounded one after another.
"General!"
The messenger came to report, "The bow and arrow were so badly frozen and damaged countless."
Liu Sandao almost smashed the whip in his hand and roared sharply: "Broken it and replace it with a new one, all archers, continue to shoot me until it is broken."
"boom!"
A violent impact sounded.
The horse slammed into the front camp, knocking the shield soldiers and spearmen into flight.
Then, more and more war horses ran into the rear.
Liu Sandao's pupils suddenly widened, and his face was pale, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "No, it's a hit..."
