The whining north wind was like the low roar of a wild dog in the moor, and the north wind swept across the land, whirling the brown withered grass of the yellow earth into the dim sky. The sky hung low, so depressing that people felt that they could touch the black dome as long as they stretched out their hands.

The wind tightened like a gust, and in a few moments, the heavy snow that had just stopped for less than a meal began to flutter again. Snow flakes like goose feathers spread all over the sky, as if the goose down pillow in the noble lord's house spread out the threads and spilled all the fluff. Text starter/text starter

In the middle of the night, the weather was cold, the wind and snow were blowing, the flag was broken, and the people and horses froze to death looked at each other.

The wind and snow were heavy, much heavier than expected. Not only is the snow heavy, but the weather is also unusually cold. Generally speaking, it is not cold on a snowy day, it is a snowy day when it is cold. But now, with the heavy snow that kept falling, the snow had already reached the knees, but there was still no intention of stopping. Not only that, but after nightfall, the weather drops dramatically. The snow that had fallen on the armor had turned to ice, and the beards on the faces of many soldiers were frozen together.

Heavy snow obscured the path, and from time to time a war horse stepped on the air and fell.

Whine, a fierce wind howled and tore a battle flag, and then the flagpole was blown off, and the broken flag was immediately swept away by the wind and drifted into the vast night.

In order to conceal themselves, the marching soldiers all wore large white cloaks and hurried forward silently with pine oil torches.

"General, hundreds of brothers have slipped and fallen to their deaths, and thousands have frozen to death. The brethren were hungry and cold, so did they stop marching for a while, boil a few pots of hot soup to drink, and wait for the snow to light before advancing? "On the side of the road without deep snow, a general of the Western Liang Cavalry said loudly to Ma Ning against the strong wind that poured into his mouth.

Raiding Imjin, Ma Ning asked for battle in front of the emperor. Chen Kefu handed over the opportunity to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, 5,000 Xiliang Cavalry as the vanguard, Chen Kefu and He Ruohuailiang, Xiao Shilian and others were escorted by Chen Lei and Zhang Chuchen's 5,000 Praetorian Guards and female soldiers in the Chinese army, and Qi Zhongxing led 5,000 headquarters to accompany the rear army.

Starting early in the morning, the army braved the snow for a day.

In such a bad weather of wind and snow, all the way up, as Chen Kefu expected, all the cities along the road were closed gates, and the people in the city were all shrinking into the city, and there were no soldiers patrolling outside, even the soldiers on duty above the city head all shrank to the arrow tower to roast and drink.

However, the bad weather also caused great trouble to Chen Jun, although there were thrilling passages through the cities all the way, but the wind and snow were too great, the temperature plummeted, and at night, there were already many soldiers who were frostbitten and fell, and even fell to death and froze to death.

Ma Wu was originally under Chang Zhongxing's subordinates, and he was General Huben, who had a higher official position than Ma Ning, and was the highest official among all the Western Liang soldiers. However, now that he has changed to the Chen Dynasty, he has to succumb to Ma Ning. I have always been a little unhappy in my heart, seeing that the weather is cold and snowy, and the brothers are complaining, so they took the opportunity to come to Ma Ning and say that they want to see Ma Ning difficult. Whether Ma Ning continued to march or suspended the march, in Ma Wu's view, it could make it difficult for Ma Wu. Go ahead, and the brethren below will have a bad opinion of Manin. The suspension of the march was undoubtedly disobeying the emperor's military orders.

Ma Ning turned his head to look at the slowing down Xiliang cavalry, the Xiliang cavalry are all iron men in the northwest, although the wind and snow are big at the moment, but when it comes to it, it can't really make these hussars in the northwest afraid.

"Send down the royal wine rewarded by His Majesty, two catties of imperial wine for each brother, and five catties of roast beef and mutton. Suspend the march and rest in place for half an hour, drink some wine and eat meat to keep warm. Without much drinking, the march continued after half an hour. Tell the brethren that Feng Yicheng will be ahead of them for two more hours. As long as Feng Yi is raided and taken, not only will you have warm wine, but you can also take a hot bath! Your Majesty has a decree to take Feng Yicheng, and all the treasures in the city will be distributed to the soldiers! ”

"Roar!"

As soon as the Xiliang men, who were already frozen and shrunk up, heard that there was such a good thing, they instantly broke out into a shocking roar. As if a group of drowsy lions suddenly woke up, all the Xiliang cavalry jumped off their horses excitedly, and began to warm up and drink wine and eat meat, preparing to take Feng Yicheng in one fell swoop.

The wind is tight, and the snow is dancing.

Fengyi County is located north of Weishui and west of the Yellow River, which is the eastern gateway of Guanzhong.

Weishui, Luoshui, and the Yellow River, the three major rivers encompass Feng Yicheng, and Imjin to the east of Feng Yi is an important passage leading directly to the east of the river.

For a long time, Guanzhong is connected with Hedong, and it is through Imjin Pass to cross the river into Hedong. Even Guanzhong and Hebei, Liaoxi, and Liaodong basically go to Linjin, pass through Taiyuan, and then pass through Jingcheng and Taihang Mountain into Hebei.

However, since the Yuwen clan retreated from Taiyuan to Guanzhong, this Qin-Jin passage has been interrupted for a long time. Because of the Imjin Pass at the forefront, behind the two natural dangers of Imjin and Tongguan, Feng Yicheng is very safe.

In the north, along the Luoshui to the north, there are the vast Longshan and the Gobi, to the east, there is the Yellow River and Tongguan, and to the south, that is the capital Chang'an.

Feng Yi, who lives in the north of Weishui, is also one of the three most fertile counties in the Guanzhong Plain, and the guards here are one of Yu Wenhua's henchmen, Ju Guogong and Guanglu Doctor Pei Qiantong. Pei Qiantong is also the queen of the Guanlong aristocratic gate, and in his early years, he was a fox friend with Yu Wenhua and wandering Chang'an. Later, Yu Wenhua and entered the Shi, Pei Qiantong relied on the family gate valve background to also enter the Sui Dynasty.

After Yu Wenhua became emperor, he handed over this important Feng Yi County to Pei Qian'an to guard. Tonight, the snow does not stop, singing day and night, and Pei Qiantong, who does not stop at night banquets, is helpless to drink a few glasses of wine in the house alone, and then goes back to the room early to rest.

Feng Yicheng, as the seat of Feng Yijun, is also very prosperous. Guanzhong has not seen war for decades, and it is close to Chang'an, and it is also on the Qin-Jin channel, whether it is to Chang'an, or Jinyang Taiyuan, or Luoyang, it is not far away. Therefore, over the years, it has also become a big city in Guanzhong, and when Yang Jian was in power, he built a palace here, Changchun Palace.

Since Pei Qiantong was stationed in Feng Yi, he has been greedy for the luxury of Changchun Palace, and in the name of guarding Changchun Palace, he led the minister to live in Changchun Palace. Feng Yicheng, who was originally the seat of county governance, was rarely in the city for a few days a year, and most of the time was in the Changchun Palace on the outskirts of Feng Yicheng.

At the time of the fourth watch, Ma Ning led 5,000 Xiliang vanguard cavalry to sneak ten miles outside Feng Yi's city. At this time, Feng Yicheng was in a deep sleep, and no one found that Chen Jun had arrived.

"General, I found a military ranch of the Xu army in front, with about 100 people stationed there." The scout cavalry bought the horses, and the scout cavalry shrouded in white cloaks was the same color as the snow, and it was impossible to see it from a distance if you didn't pay attention to it.

Ma Ning rubbed his frozen numb face and said with a smile: "God help me!" Deploy the hussar battalion, and wipe out the ranch Xu army within half an hour, and no one shall be missed. After destroying the enemy, untie all the horses in the ranch and drive to the north gate of Feng Yicheng, and we will take the city by detouring to the west gate! ”

In just a moment, the Xu army in the pasture was already annihilated in their sleep. There are more than 1,000 war horses in the military pastures, which are all reserve war horses that are transferred from various pastures and sent to Tongguan and Imjin military camps after recuperating here. At this time, all the war horses were driven out of the stables and were driven by the soldiers to Feng Yi's north gate.

The neighing of horses galloping in the snow soon caught the attention of the defenders of the city.

"Where are so many war horses?"

"It is possible that the stable of the horse ranch in the north of the city was collapsed by snow." A veteran said.

Another defender shrunk his neck and whispered with the gun in his arms, "What should I do?" ”

"Send a brother to the city to inform Wang Sima of the ranch, and let the other brothers go out together to help drive back to the horse area, maybe tomorrow Wang Sima will reward the brothers with a few dollars of silver, drink and eat." Wang Sima is the eldest brother of Pei Qiantong's favored concubine, and this person usually gets along well with many brothers in the army. The veteran saw the war horse running around, and proposed to collect the war horse, which was also the meaning of Wang Sima.

After listening to the words of the veteran, several other guards began to call people to call people, and those who delivered letters sent letters. The city, which was originally dead and silent, suddenly became lively. The soldiers and young men on duty in the various cities began to rush towards the north gate, all wanting to catch one or two horses, so that tomorrow they could ask Wang Wang Sima for merit in exchange for money.

In this cold night, the hustle and bustle also diluted a little of the chill of the guards. But no one thought about whether this sudden running war horse would be a trick of the enemy.

It is really because since Yang Jian took charge of the Northern Zhou regime, until now, Guanzhong has basically not seen a sword soldier for decades. Although in the past ten years, all parts of the Kanto region have fought to the death and lived, especially in the early years, the peasant army, the Sui army, and the private army of those families, you fight for each other, big and small, and there is no day without fighting. But for the people of Guanzhong, the war seems to be a little far away.

Guanzhong, which has not experienced war for forty or fifty years, and the soldiers are even more than a few elite soldiers, in fact, the soldiers have never been out of the customs at all, let alone fought with real swords and guns. Therefore, in this bad snowy night, no one thought that far away, no one was vigilant in their hearts, and they would not have thought that Chen Jun was actually by their side.

A day and a night of rapid marching in the wind and snow, more than 200 miles away, 5,000 Xiliang iron cavalry actually bypassed the five cities all the way, and broke into the enemy territory for more than 2 miles alone, until Feng Yi was under the city.

A group of 200 death squads wearing white cloaks had already dismounted, bent over and carefully sneaked through the snow to the east gate. Although there is still a small team of Xu Jun on duty at the head of the city, these people are chatting about catching horses in the north of the city, while surrounding a pile of charcoal, and drinking a sip of wine from time to time to keep warm, there is not even a bubble.

The death squad was led by Ma Ning himself, looking at the few fires on the head of the city, and the sound of whispering from time to time, Ma Ning made a few gestures to his subordinates. Then they were divided into twenty squads of death squads, and they took out their battle axes and began to carefully drill holes in the wall built of loess in Feng Yicheng, digging the soil as a hurdle.

Ma Ning took the lead, climbed to the top of the city, killed the soldiers who were surrounding the charcoal fire in a few neat strokes, and seized the first stronghold in the city.

"Bang Bang Bang!" When one after another daredevils climbed to the top of the city, Feng Yi's husband in the city was ringing the four watches before dawn.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles!"
