In the middle of the night, the Houjin army, which fled in a hurry, couldn't even rest, because at this time, it was snowing.

At first, it was just a small snowflake that fell on the ground, bringing a touch of moisture to the ground.

However, in just an hour and a half, it turned into goose feathers and heavy snow, which was sprinkled all over the sky and obscured people's vision.

Along with the heavy snowfall, there were gusts of wind, and these erratic winds flew from all directions, carrying messy dead grass, dust, and snowflakes, and smashed them on people's faces, so that everyone could not see the road ahead.

What made these Houjin soldiers even more anxious was that because they were in a hurry to flee for their lives, the cotton clothes and other cold things that they should have carried with them were basically not brought.

In this snowfall, the remaining troops of the Houjin Army could only try their best to keep warm.

While collecting the surrounding ula grass, they vigorously stuffed it into their robes, shoes, and pants.

On the other hand, additional manpower was sent out to find dry firewood, and preparations were made to increase the burning range of the bonfire and prolong its burning time.

However, now resting in this place is an army of more than 10,000 people, plus more than 10,000 war horses, so many men and livestock, and the materials needed are definitely not a small amount.

There used to be only one or two villages here, but later, it was wiped out by the Houjin army, and now, except for a few dilapidated mud houses that could keep Huang Taiji and a few other Baylor ministers a little warmer, there is no trace of human activity, how can it be possible to find enough supplies for so many people to consume.

In desperation, the remaining Houjin soldiers could only gather together with their own Niu Lu belongings, huddle together for warmth, and prepare to temporarily survive this difficult snow day and find a way out.

They thought it was good, but unfortunately, Chen Xin disagreed.

All kinds of warmth measures were extremely in place, and the cavalry combat group of the Huaxia Army Guard Banner Brigade, armed from beginning to end, decisively abandoned the plan after discovering that the trick of luring the enemy just now failed to seduce the Houjin army and did not achieve the predetermined goal of dispersing the enemy's forces.

The war horses of the Huaxia Army were not ordinary, they were fat and strong, which was not at all comparable to the ponies ridden by those people in Houjin, so along the way, Chen Xin could be said to be chasing very easily.

Although there were several waves of scouts left behind by the Houjin army intermittently in the middle, but, in general, the soldiers were not as tired as the Houjin army.

Now, seeing that the expected heavy snow finally fell in the sky, Chen Xin immediately ordered that when he went out to fight before, the selected non-commissioned officers and veterans came out of the queue and attacked the Houjin camp at night with him.

Originally, there were few soldiers brought, and they had to continue to divide the troops, and only took some veteran non-commissioned officers to rob the camp, Chen Xin's order made the soldiers below a little puzzled.

However, if you don't understand, you don't understand, these are the guards of Chen Xin himself, who have undergone cruel and strict training, and will definitely not discount the slightest in the execution of orders, and immediately take action.

Except for the more than 100 people who accompanied Chen Xin on the expedition, the others all stayed in place and set up camps to avoid the cold.

Although the warmth measures are effective, it is impossible to camp in the snow, and in that case, many people will freeze to death after the night.

Chen Xin ignored the subtle persuasion of the officers around him, and continued to order while sorting out his swords, rifles, pistols, armor, winter clothing, and other things.

"When you hear gunfire from the enemy camp, prepare for battle and be ready to receive our return at any time."

"Your Majesty, on this snowy day, we can't even see the road clearly, how to respond, do you think about it again?"

"Don't think about it anymore, the infantry artillery is the first to choose a good place, set up on the commanding heights around the perimeter, and wait for the guidance of flares and smoke bombs that may appear at any time.

Now, although the snow obscures the vision, and it is impossible to see things from a distance of more than ten meters, because of the late night, the flares can still be clearly marked.

Moreover, under the light of the flares, the smoke grenades can also play a certain role, and you will not have much problem setting up observation points on the commanding heights. ”

In normal times, it only takes less than five minutes to give an order to be ready for battle, and even the elite troops can be assembled and fully armed in a minute.

As one of the elite forces, the record in the army is 30 seconds to be fully armed.

It's a pity that today, the weather is too bad, and a variety of conditions are frequent, which has caused a delay in the speed of assembly, and by the time all the staff are ready and assembled in front of Chen Xin, a quarter of an hour has passed.

Chen Xin didn't say anything, these old non-commissioned officers in front of him had done their best, and they should not be reprimanded in any way.

Chen Xin gave up the right of officers to their subordinates, and took the lead in beating their chests to these non-commissioned officers and veterans who had no complaints, and the other party also saluted.

At this moment, everything was unexpectedly unspoken, and even a few giant military dogs used as a guide stood solemnly without the slightest transgression.

After the ceremony, no one had any nonsense, all of them got on their horses, followed Chen Xin, and headed towards the north in unison.

In the wind and snow, 113 Chinese soldiers, together with 7 giant military dogs and 3 small military dogs, formed a complete temporary commando team and disappeared into the vast night.

The wind and snow obscured all sounds and traces, but the giant military dogs carried by Chen Xin were all dog breeds dedicated to cold regions, and they were very familiar with this environment.

Under the orders of the trainers, these behemoths, which are taller than people standing upright, walk briskly on the slowly covered and piled up snow layer, just like a master of light skills without a trace of snow, which makes people amazed.

Suddenly, the leader of the military dogs who took the lead paused suddenly, and the trainer understood, and immediately pulled the rope that was connected to the person behind him, and the rear team slowly, one by one, stopped moving one by one.

After listening attentively for a while, the leader of the military dogs moved again, but this time, it was not as fast as just now, and he kept walking around.

Chen Xin and several people who didn't have a good sense of direction all felt as if they were going in circles, but their trust in their comrades-in-arms was deeply rooted in their hearts, and they did not come out to interfere with the actions of professional military dogs.

Sure enough, the military dog did not lead the wrong way, and after stopping in front again, the trainer said to Chen Xin, "I can't get around, there is a post-Jin army sentry in front, which is just blocking our way." ”

Chen Xin was clear, and shouted loudly for orders, asking a detachment of people to solve the sentry posts blocking the road.

This is a sneak-in robbery, so you can't use your gun unless you have to, and you can only rely on cold weapons to solve the problem.

The heavy snow muffled the sound, and more than ten meters away, he couldn't even hear the sound of his voice at all, so Chen Xin couldn't hear anything clearly about the battle in front of him, so he could only wait silently.
