Chapter 1498： Nan Yanhuo has been waiting here for a long time

"General, the front is Barbarian Jiao City."

Huo Qubing's rush march for several days finally finally reached Man Jiao City.

Looking at the majestic city in front, Huo Qubing sighed lightly, and said: "I can't imagine that such a majestic city can be trimmed out of the barbarians, but I underestimated them."

"General, although this city was built by the Barbarians in name, it was actually built by the Humans." The lieutenant said: "In order to resist the Ice and Snow Dynasty, the Barbarians specially paid some artisans to build this Barbarian City. ."

"After the successful construction of the Barbarian City, it really made the Ice and Snow Dynasty quite uncomfortable. Since then, no army has entered the northern grasslands to **** the horses, cattle and sheep of the Barbarians, making the life of the Barbarians around here much easier."

Huo Qubing listened, rather not knowing what to say.

Also facing the northern grasslands, the Ice and Snow Dynasty was different from the kingdoms near the Nanyan Kingdom.

In the previous kingdoms in the southwest of Yuzhou, all the kingdoms near the northern grasslands were basically invaded by barbarians.

But the Ice and Snow Dynasty was also close to the northern grasslands, but it sent troops out to **** the horses, cattle and sheep of the barbarians. The comparison between the two is really helpless.

This is related to the topography of the Ice and Snow Dynasty and the northern grassland. The Dongbo Mountains are separated from each other. For the barbarians on the northern grassland, it is equivalent to natural danger and it is difficult for them to cross.

Not to mention, there is a Lansui Pass behind the Dongbo Mountains, enough to ensure that the Ice and Snow Dynasty will not be disturbed.

The other is the issue of strength.

The Ice and Snow Dynasty is powerful. They have the qualifications and ability to **** the barbarian war horses, cattle and sheep on the northern grasslands. The previous Nanyan Kingdom did not have this strength, so it could only be robbed.

The current Nanyan Kingdom also has this strength, so it will carry out the Northern Expedition, wanting to completely destroy the barbarians, ensure that there are no enemies in the northern grasslands, and let this prairie become the kingdom's cavalry field.

Manjiao City is not only a city, but also a grand gate, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If it is on weekdays, the barbarian army is arranged here, even if it is not through the army, it can rely on the solid wall and excellent defensive design to defend the enemy's attack.

But today, there is no barbarian soldier in Manjiao City long ago.

After they were destroyed in the base camp of the Aohan tribe, they had long since become beasts and scattered birds. Therefore, the only male pass on the northern grassland at this time was actually a soldier guarding the city.

This is naturally a good thing for Huo Qubing.

He immediately led the troops into the city, quickly cleaned the city, and after confirming that there was no problem, he set out to deploy defenses.

"Report!"

"General, Jin Yiwei spy sent an order that Zu Zhi, the general of the Ice and Snow Dynasty, has led three million elite soldiers into the Dongbo Mountains."

In the Mansion of Manjiao City City Lord, Huo Qubing temporarily set it up as his military command post.

"The speed is quite fast." Huo Qubing said coldly after receiving the news from the lieutenant.

"According to the news from Agent Jin Yiwei, Zu Zhi valued Manjiao City very much, so he directly led the troops on a rapid march, and the purpose was to take Manjiao City as soon as possible." The deputy general said.

"Rapid march?"

Huo Qubing's eyes lit up and said: "The enemy troops have marched to the Dongbo Mountains in a hurry, and they must be trying to reach Barbarian City as fast as possible. Then they will definitely march in the Dongbo Mountains as well."

"Haha, you immediately went down to select one hundred thousand elite, you were going to give Zu Zhi a surprise!"

"Surprise?"

The lieutenant was taken aback, followed by the reaction, and immediately said: "General, are you going to attack the enemy?"

"why not?"

Huo Qubing smiled and said: "The enemy's rapid march is very exhausting to the army."

"If they change places, they will definitely take a rest in the mountains, and then lead the troops out, but in the Dongbo Mountains, there is ice and cold everywhere, and there is no place for the army to rest."

"Neither the Ice Dynasty nor the northern grassland is a place where the sky is cold. Only the Dongbo Mountain Range is a cold place. If the enemy wants to pass the Dongbo Mountain Range, it will take three days even if it is a rapid march."

"In the three-day cold, even if the enemy forces all wear warm clothes, it is impossible to keep warm all the time. In this case, when they walk out of the Dongbo Mountains, their combat effectiveness will definitely drop to a freezing point. For us , This is the opportunity!"

"As long as we seize this opportunity to severely damage the enemy, we will be able to gain an absolute head start in the battle. It is an absolute good thing for us to defend Barbarian Jiaocheng!"

Although the Ice and Snow Dynasty is called the Ice and Snow Dynasty, it is not the Ice and Snow Dynasty that is a place where the sky is cold.

They are called the Ice and Snow Dynasty because the best practice technique in the imperial house that founded the Ice and Snow Dynasty is called Bingxuejue, and their first emperor is also honored as the Ice and Snow Sovereign.

Hence the name of a dynasty of ice and snow.

After the lieutenant understood Huo Qubing's thoughts, he immediately went down to select the elite according to the requirements and prepared to attack Zu Zhi's army later.

At the same time, Huo Qubing also passed the order to let Jin Yiwei's killer block the news of Manjiao City, but he couldn't let Zu Zhi marching in the Dongbo Mountains know that Manjiao City had fallen into the hands of the Nanyan Kingdom.

In the Dongbo Mountain Range, Zu Zhizheng led the troops on a rapid march. They wanted to rush to Manjiao City as fast as possible to avoid being preempted by the Nanyan Kingdom.

"General, our spies still haven't heard from us." The deputy came to Zu Zhi to report.

Zu Zhi frowned slightly, and said, "Send an order to the dynasty and let them put pressure on those spies. Before I leave the Dongbo Mountains, I must know the latest news in Manjiao City."

"Yes!"

...

Three days passed quickly, and Zu Zhi had already led the army to the outskirts of the Dongbo Mountain Range, and half an hour earlier would be able to leave the Dongbo Mountain Range.

"Is there still no news from Manjiao City?" Zu Zhi asked while looking at the lieutenant beside him.

The lieutenant smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "Our news about Barbarian Jiaocheng still stays at the barbarian army abandoning the city and fleeing to the Hupu tribe."

"Damn it!"

Zu Zhi cursed secretly, and there was no definite news about Manjiao City, so he would be more scrupulous about marching.

"General, I definitely don't have to worry about you. We went on a rush for the whole journey, and it only took less than ten days to reach the Dongbo Mountain Range. Even if the Nanyan Kingdom reacted quickly, it would not be possible to reach the Man Jiao within ten days. city!"

"Furthermore, our march is very concealed. The Nanyan Kingdom will definitely not be able to find us, and Meng Tian will still face the pressure of the Hupu tribe and may not send troops to Manjiao City."

"Take a step back, even if you send troops to Barbarian Jiao City, there are not many. After all, according to the information we have, the Witch tribe on the Hupu tribe has gathered more than 100 million barbarian iron horses!" said the lieutenant.
