Wanyan Lou did not immediately go south, he waited for two more days, and after the 20,000 Han troops arrived in Fushi County, then Wanyan Po begged to lead 8,000 cavalry to garrison the camp in Fushi County, and he himself led 40,000 troops south to Dunzhou and attacked in depth in the direction of Guanzhong.

Two days later, the Jin soldiers occupied Luojiao County, Juzhou Prefecture without blood, and seized 30,000 stone of grain in the official warehouse, which made Yan Lou Room overjoyed, with this batch of grain as the backing, his confidence was more sufficient, he ordered the Han general Zhang Feng to lead 10,000 Han troops as the rear army to transport grain, and he himself led 30,000 troops to continue south, waving Fangzhou.

Fangzhou is the north compound of Guanzhong, once it occupies Fangzhou, it is equivalent to breaking into the outer compound of Guanzhong, and then going south is Yaozhou, the north gate of Guanzhong, which will form a direct threat to Guanzhong.

But just two days after Yan Lou was full of confidence to go south, another strong snowstorm swept the entire Shaanxi Road from north to south, which was the long overdue winter snow in northern Shaanxi, the previous heavy snow was an accident, and this heavy snow meant that the cold winter of Shaanxi Road was coming.

It is about 400 miles away from Luojiao County in the north of Yanzhou to the central county in the north of Fangzhou, it is located in the gully area of the Weibei Loess Plateau, the mountain is high and steep, the official road is built on the mountainside, that is, the famous Qin Straight Road, on one side is the mountain range of the reckless Huanglong, on the other side is the deep valley of Baizhang, below is the Luoshui Grand Canyon, there is no family within a radius of 300 miles, and there is no town or county seat.

If it were another season, the army could march south along the flat Qin Straight Road, and it would take up to three days to get out of the Luoshui Grand Canyon and reach the central county, but now it was a deadly winter.

After two days of marching, he found that the army could no longer continue southward, a large area of avalanche blocked the straight road, the avalanche stretched for more than thirty miles, the thickest part of the snow was five feet deep, and the neck of the submerged person could not move forward at all, but it seemed that it was not so easy to turn around and go back, a menacing snowstorm swept in, and the army of 30,000 Jin Guo was trapped on the mountain road about two hundred miles south of Luojiao County.

In a lonely tent on the mountain road, Wan Yan Lou was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded the strategist Chen Guangzhao, "Don't tell me what kind of bullshit local you are, you don't even know that the heavy snow is blocking the road, are you embarrassed to call yourself a local?" If my army can't get out of the mountain road, I'll be the first to take your sacrificial flag! ”

Chen Guangzhao lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, and after a while, he whispered: "The humble position did not deceive the general, although the mountain road will be covered with snow, but there has never been a situation where it is impassable, at most, it is stepping on the snow, and the marching speed is a little slower....."

"Fart! Am I blind and can't read the snow? ”

"This is not what the lowly job means, the mean of the lowly duty is that this severe snow cover is caused by an avalanche, and there will generally be no avalanche, unless it is deliberately caused by man."

Wan Yan Lou's eyes shrank suddenly, "You mean to say that this is the Song army deliberately causing an avalanche to block our way south?" ”

"In fact, I want to say that the Song army deliberately lured the enemy deeper, even if Li Yanqing evacuated Luojiao County, it would be impossible to leave 30,000 stone of grain for us, he would rather distribute the grain to the people in the city, he obviously deliberately left it for us, so that we would not have to worry about food and continue to go south."

"Humph! What are you called, you Han people have a saying, called hindsight, it is about people like you, why didn't you say it at the time, now you think of everything, I bah! Get the hell out of here! ”

Chen Guangzhao was so frightened that he hugged his head and ran away, after Yan Lou Room was upset for a while, he walked to the door of the big tent, looking at the cold wind howling outside, wrapped in heavy snow, in front of him was a white expanse, more than a dozen steps away can not see anything, at this time must not march, it will be easy to stumble and fall into the deep ditch.

Wan Yan Lou Room sighed, and only waited for the snow to stop before slowly withdrawing the army.

………

Luojiao County is the state of Yanzhou, but also the second largest city in northern Shaanxi after Fushi County, the circumference of the city is about 30 miles, the population is nearly 200,000, and the Jianbi Qingye of Yan'an Mansion is different, there is basically no fortification in Yanzhou, except for the Song army once stationed here for a short time, there is no military sign at all, and the life of the people is also very stable and peaceful, and there is no atmosphere of war at all.

When the Jin soldiers occupied Luojiao County, they did not stay in Luojiao County for too long, only rested for one day, and the army continued to move south, leaving only the Han general Zhang Feng to lead 10,000 Han troops to garrison Luojiao County, responsible for providing logistical support to the Jin soldiers going to Fangzhou.

The Han army is the Song army after the surrender of the Jin soldiers, the military discipline is generally not good, in just one day, almost all the shops in Luojiao County were looted by the Han army again, and just the day before, the Jin soldiers have ransacked the whole city, killing people and setting fires, raping ** women.

After the Jin soldiers went south, Zhang Feng once again indulged the soldiers to loot the whole city, when the money in the city was not enough to satisfy the desires of the Han soldiers, they threw the target of their desire to the women, for a while, the wailing and crying sounded into a piece, and groups of Han soldiers went door to door to loot property, rape ** people, so that the calm and peaceful Luojiao County seemed to fall into hell.

The strong attack of the snowstorm finally made the Han soldiers stationed in Luojiao County quiet down a little, 10,000 soldiers hid in the barracks to drink and gamble, hundreds of young women were plundered by them to the barracks to have fun, although many soldiers with red eyes who lost money still wanted to try their luck in the houses to see if they could find the hidden gold and silver, but the weather was too bad, they could not see the road more than a dozen steps away, they just had to scold and hold back all night, and vent their anger on the women who were caught.

The cold wind whistling over the county, the goose feathers and heavy snow fall all over the sky like a rip, the sky and the earth are gray, the road can not be seen within a dozen steps, near the north gate of the county, there is an abandoned city god temple, overgrown with weeds, there are ruins and broken walls everywhere, usually here wild foxes and jackdaws gather places, but at this time, dozens of black shadows gather from all directions.

Yan Qing stood in front of the dilapidated gate, looking at dozens of subordinates with a stern expression, a total of forty people, all of them had arrived, these were the forty elite soldiers who stayed in the city when the Song army retreated, all of them were strong in martial arts and had rich combat experience.

The forty soldiers did not gather together, but hid in various capacities in the county seat, and the appointed time was one watch tonight.

"Qi Yu is in charge, all the brothers have arrived!" A subordinate general hugged Yan Qing with his fist.

Yan Qing nodded, and said to the forty soldiers: "The Jin soldiers are brutal, and the county town is ruined, I believe that each of us is angry, now is the time for us to take revenge on them, our task is to seize the north city gate, let the army outside the city enter the city, tonight will be a bloody battle, let the enemy's blood wash away the hatred in our hearts!" ”

There was a look of hatred in everyone's eyes, they had witnessed too many tragedies in the past two days, but the responsibility of the soldiers made them suppress the hatred in their hearts, and soon, they were about to usher in a moment of revenge.

Yan Qing quickly walked into the main hall, took a few soldiers to dig up the soil layer in the hall, dug out three large wooden boxes from it, opened the lid of the box, and there were forty sets of armor and weapons inside, all the soldiers stepped forward one after another, put on their own armor, and soon lined up on the main hall to assemble, at this time, the soldiers who changed into armor suddenly became murderous, although there were only forty people, but the murderous spirit seemed to exceed hundreds of people.

"It's snowing outside, in order to prevent accidental injury, we need to set up a password, the password is just four words, break the city and kill the enemy, do you remember?"

"Break the city and kill the enemy!" Forty people roared in unison, startling dozens of crows perched on the rooftops.

With a wave of his hand, Yan Qing led forty people into the snowy world.

.........

The 20,000 troops led by Li Yanqing did not retreat south to Guanzhong, but retreated to Danzhou, and when the main force of the Jin soldiers moved south, Li Yanqing immediately led 20,000 troops to Luojiao County.

According to the time he gave Yan Qing, they will attack the northern city at two o'clock tonight, and Yan Qing will lead the elite to join forces and seize the northern city gate.

At this time, the 20,000 soldiers led by Li Yanqing had arrived outside the northern city of Luojiao County, and the army was temporarily hiding in a dense pine forest, where there was no wind and a little less cold, and the 20,000 soldiers were wrapped in old sheepskins, huddled together and shivering.

Li Yanqing stood at the edge of the woods, watching the wind and snow outside, they were only one mile away from the county seat, but they could no longer see the city a mile away, before, Li Yanqing had sent more than 20 scouts to the city to investigate the situation.

"How much time is left?" Li Yanqing turned around and asked.

"It's been less than a quarter of an hour!"

A quarter of an hour is half an hour in the future, and judging from the time, it is time for Yan Qing to make a move in the city, Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "The whole army is assembled and ready to fight!" ”

The soldiers stood up one after another, stomping their feet to shake off the snowflakes on their bodies, soaking hot air into their palms, rubbing their unconscious hands vigorously, and the woods were filled with excitement and anticipation before the battle.
