In Puban City, at this time, because of the appearance of the 'Qiang Killing Order', it has also become a little turbulent.

No matter what era, there is no shortage of so-called defenders, who hold high the banner of justice and constantly impeach Chen Xu in the court for cold-blooded and murderous purposes.

However, the Son of Heaven is already seventeen years old this year and has his own thoughts.

The reason why the Han Dynasty fell to such a position today is not the result of the rebellion of the Qiang people in the west for many years. Therefore, he still had a positive intention in his heart for Wen Zhao to kill the Qiang people.

Even though many ministers have repeatedly impeached Wen Zhao, these people do not control real power after all. Coupled with the fact that the Son of Heaven is not on their side, the impeachment of these people has become a little meaningless.

Rao is like this, Pusaka still has some gossip against Chen Xu. It wasn't until Chen Jing hung the heads of dozens of people on the city wall that the city became completely quiet.

Violence doesn't solve everything, but sometimes it can work wonders.

Of course, there is a big reason why rumors can be stopped by killing, because Wen Zhao's high reputation is now loved by many Guanzhong Baixin.

They don't know anything about benevolence, righteousness and morality, they only know that if it weren't for Chen Xu, they wouldn't be able to live happily.

In addition, not all the ministers in the court blamed Chen Xu, and some ministers also favored the use of iron-blooded means to suppress the rebellion of the Qiang people.

I have to say that the Qiang people, who have rebelled for more than a hundred years, not only make the Han people in Liangzhou hate them to the core. Even many ministers of the DPRK and China have seen the faces of the Qiang people clearly.

If they were to go and kill the Qiang, they would probably not do so because they cherish their feathers. However, what Chen Xu is doing now will not affect them in any case.

Therefore, Chen Xu expected strong resistance from the DPRK and China, but it was a little unmentionable.

On the banks of the Yellow River, the Guanzhong soldiers were still confronting the Xiliang coalition army. Because the ice of the Yellow River was not yet complete, Chen Xu still failed to lead his troops across the river.

It's just that during this time, Wen Zhao asked the soldiers to cut down trees and make a lot of smooth wooden skateboards. In the center of these long skateboards is a place to hold the shoes.

If people in later generations see these things, they may think they are somewhat familiar. These things are nothing else, they are sleds.

Of course, this thing is not so much a sleigh as an extended boot made of a wooden plank.

After making these things, Wen Zhao selected some small lakes that had been frozen and let the soldiers use this extremely rudimentary sleigh to glide on them.

The weather here is very cold, and the small lakes are almost completely frozen, even if the horses run on them, there is no big problem. It's just that the Yellow River is turbulent, and it is still difficult to freeze it very strongly.

Therefore, the soldiers could walk freely on the small lake, but they did not dare to step on the ice to cross the Yellow River.

The advent of simple sleds made the extremely bored Guan sergeants and soldiers find a tool for entertainment. Many people spend their days on the lake and have a lot of fun.

At the beginning, there were also many soldiers who were bruised and swollen. After a long time, most of the soldiers liked this game.

On this day, Wen Zhao led Sima Yi to practice how to skate on the ice, and after the matter was over, Sima Yi said with some worry: "Lord, although this move can eliminate the soldiers' homesickness and irritability. ”

"If this goes on for a long time, it's hard to guarantee that everyone won't lose their minds and have no intention of fighting."

Due to the stalemate in the battle, the soldiers' war-weariness became stronger and stronger. This game of ice skating made Guan Zhongbing's morale high again.

Wen Zhao took off his thick gloves, rubbed his hands vigorously, and let out a sigh of white air. He looked up at the sky, and then said: "Ah Yixiu should be worried, the battle situation will be clear in a few days." ”

The north wind is howling, and the weather is getting colder. Today, the Guanzhong army has made a large number of simple sleds, and almost all the soldiers have learned how to use this thing.

That night, the sky suddenly fell with goose feathers and snow. The snow was falling heavily, and it wasn't long before the whole land turned into a pink and jade color.

Wen Zhao stood at the gate control of the camp, stretched out his hands and used the white snowflakes to fly, and said softly: "The heavy snow has finally fallen." ”

At the same time, Han Sui also sighed and said: "The heavy snow has finally fallen. ”

In comparison, the locals of Liangzhou are more tolerant of the cold. Correspondingly, under such a cold weather, the combat effectiveness of the Guanzhong soldiers has obviously decreased a lot.

Moreover, the heavy snow not only made the weather worse, but also made it extremely difficult to transport grain and grass for the logistics of the Guanzhong soldiers.

Ma Teng appeared beside Han Sui and said, "The heavy snow has arrived, and Guan Zhongbing shouldn't be able to hold out for long." ”

Although Han Sui thought so in his heart, he still said: "Chen Wenzhao is very human, and he should not be taken lightly. Brother go to rest first, and I'll lead the troops to guard the camp tonight. ”

Ma Teng said: "The heavy snow is blocking the road, not to mention that the Yellow River is difficult to cross, Wenyue doesn't have to be so careful, right?" ”

Han Sui said: "Be careful, there's no big mistake, I can't afford to lose anymore." ”

Ma Teng frowned and nodded slightly, and went back to the tent to rest. The confrontation during this time, as well as facing the sharp-edged Chen Xu, made him feel a little tired.

Ma Teng didn't know if the Xiliang Coalition Army could block the advance of the Guanzhong Army.

The snow was falling, and even at night, the whole land was white. Of course, due to the absence of the moon and stars, people's vision is still somewhat narrow.

Xu Huang took advantage of the night to lead his soldiers to the bank of the Yellow River, he looked at the river covered by heavy snow, and his heart was always a little drumming.

"The lord asked us to put on this ghost thing, cross the Yellow River at night, attack the Xiliang military camp, and establish a position on the opposite bank."

"However, despite the heavy snow falling from the sky, the ice in the center of the Yellow River is still not very thick. If you are not careful, the soldiers may step through the ice and fall into the river. ”

The thought of falling into the cold and biting river in such a cold winter, Xu Huang felt a little hairy in his heart.

"What, Komeito doesn't believe me?"

A gentle voice came, Wen Zhao appeared behind Xu Huang, put his right hand on Xu Huang's shoulder, and said softly.

When Xu Huang saw his father-in-law coming, he was shocked, and said a little nervously: "No, the last general will not dare!" ”

Wen Zhao chuckled lightly and said, "Gongming, but please rest assured, as long as the soldiers wear this thing, they will not step on the ice when crossing the river." However, to be on the safe side, the soldiers could not be too close to each other during the river crossing. ”

There are some things that Chen Xu is not easy to explain.

He could not say that due to the existence of simple sleds, the force area between the human body and the ice layer became larger and the pressure decreased. If the pressure is reduced, the weight of the human body can be dispersed, so that the thin ice layer will not break due to excessive pressure, right?

Perhaps, in Wen Zhao's view, this is just the simplest physics knowledge. But for Xu Huang, who has never been in contact with this aspect, it is tantamount to a big problem.

The explanation was not clear, Wen Zhao simply did not explain, and spoke directly with the facts.

What's more, after half a night, the snow piled up on the ice surface also began to freeze. With these frozen snowflakes, crossing the Yellow River will be more secure.

This is also why, Wen Zhao has been waiting for the heavy snow to fall.

Xu Huang nodded vigorously, immediately no longer hesitated, and personally led his subordinates to start crossing the river.

If you are only walking on the ice, it is easy for a soldier to fall because the ice is too smooth. With snow and improvised sleds, not only did they not fall, but they also marched faster.

When he came to the center of the Yellow River, Xu Huang's heart became up and down again. He was very worried that the ice under his feet suddenly broke and he fell into the cold water.

"Scattered, all scattered, don't huddle together."

Xu Huang cautiously drove forward on a simple sleigh while shouting in a low voice.

His worries did not materialize, and until he reached the other side of the Yellow River, not a single soldier stepped through the ice and fell into the water.

The snow was still falling, and the soldiers who were wrapped in thick clothes had a thick layer of snowflakes piled up on their bodies, making them all white snowmen.

If it is dark today, it will be difficult for anyone to see that they are soldiers unless they look carefully. A few soldiers wanted to pat the snow off their bodies, but Xu Huang stopped them.

He looked at the white soldiers, and secretly thought: "If you lead the troops quietly close to the Xiliang military camp at this time, as long as you are cautious, you will definitely be able to enter the village by surprise." ”

It didn't take long for Wen Zhao to personally lead his troops across the Yellow River. The rest of the soldiers are still coming here one after another.

He looked at the sky and said to Xu Huang: "Gongming, dawn is coming, if you don't attack the Xiliang military camp as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be no chance." ”

"You select 5,000 elite soldiers to rob the camp, and I will gather the soldiers here and set up camp."

Xu Huang was overjoyed, and after receiving the order, he ordered five thousand elite soldiers to rush to the camp of the Xiliang Army. Due to the huge size of the war horses, they cannot pass through the ice of the Yellow River, so the current Guanzhong soldiers are all foot soldiers.

The 5,000 soldiers were covered in snow, and they all looked white. In addition, the snow was soft and the soldiers walked on the snow completely silently.

Yes, until Xu Huang led the troops to touch the Xiliang military camp not far away, no one found it. Seeing that the other party's camp was in front of him, Xu Huang found that there were some Xiliang troops, patrolling back and forth in the camp.

"I really didn't expect that in such weather, the Xiliang Army still maintained enough vigilance."

It was difficult for the Guanzhong army to cross the Yellow River, and it was snowing heavily today, Xu Huang originally thought that the Xiliang army would be unvigilant. Xiliangjun's vigilance made Xu Huang feel a little tricky.

He secretly thought: "The thief army is well defended, if you rob the camp at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to receive miraculous results." And the thieves are outnumbered, as long as the thieves come to their senses, they may not be able to leave us here. ”

An adjutant general came to Xu Huang's side and asked in a low voice, "General, do you want to rob the camp?" ”

Xu Huang pondered for a long time, and said to the adjutant general: "Pass the order, let the soldiers hide carefully, don't let the Xiliang army discover our traces." ”

"In addition, you led some scouts to reconnoiter the location of the Xiliang Army's stables. Come back to me as soon as you find it. ”

Never think of robbing the camp as easy, after all, attacking the opponent's camp the enemy occupies a favorable position, unless the enemy is careless and unprepared. Otherwise, the camp robbery will only harass you a little at most.

This is especially true in the face of a prepared camp. If Xu Huang led the troops to rob the camp at this time, he could certainly pull out the antlers and rush into the camp.

However, now that the snow is falling, it is not enough to set fires everywhere. Since the Xiliang army has patrol soldiers, when they pull out the antlers, it is impossible to hide from these Xiliang troops.

Perhaps the Guanzhong army could surprise and cause chaos in the Xiliang army in a short period of time. However, it is somewhat unlikely that you will be able to achieve greater results.

Now, the 5,000 soldiers and horses led by Xu Huang are all foot soldiers, if they act rashly, they will wait for the Xiliang army to come to their senses. The Xiliang army can rely on the advantage of cavalry to attack these 5,000 soldiers.

What's more, Xu Huang has another consideration. Now the war horses on the other side want to cross the river in a short time, but it is a little unrealistic.

In this way, in the future, when fighting with the Xiliang army, the Guanzhong soldiers without cavalry are bound to be very passive.

If at this time, you can find out where the war horses of the Xiliang Army are placed, and steal a batch of war horses by surprise. Not only can it weaken the strength of the Xiliang army, but it can also grab some war horses for its own use.

It was with these in mind that Xu Huang did not act rashly and asked his lieutenant general to take people to investigate the detailed information.

After half a pillar of incense, the deputy general came to Xu Huang and whispered: "Most of the war horses of the thief army are placed in the stables in the southwest direction. ”

Xu Huang did not hesitate at all, and ordered his subordinates to rush to the southwest of the Xiliang military camp.

After the army quietly touched it, Xu Huang looked at the sky and knew that he couldn't wait any longer to go in. At this time, he was no longer hidden, brandished the big axe in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, kill the enemy with me!" ”

"Kill!"

Five thousand people roared in unison, and their voices resounded through the sky. They broke through the antlers of the Xiliang army and killed directly to the stable.

"Knock knock!"

"Woooooo

The dull sound of war drums sounded, and those patrolling Xiliang soldiers notified the sleeping robe as quickly as possible. Han Sui, who was yawning, was immediately shocked when he heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and hurriedly gathered his own soldiers.

"Lord!"

Yan Xing hurriedly came to Han Sui's side and shouted.

"Yanming, you quickly lead the troops to protect the grain and grass, and Hugh will let the thieves burn it!"

When Yan Xing heard this, he immediately ordered to kill the place where the Xiliang army had piled up grain and grass.

"Rest of you, blow the horn and follow me to stop the thieves!"

The Xiliang Army, which had an early warning, did not cause a large-scale panic when it was suddenly attacked by the Guanzhong soldiers.

Those Xiliang troops who were still asleep put on their armor and took up arms, and under the gathering of the generals, they formed a large army.

For a time, the murderous spirit in the Xiliang military camp was rampant, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.
