The weather is getting colder and colder, and the wind is raging and unbearable, Xu Hao feels that Beiping at this time is equivalent to the three northeastern provinces in the future, and the temperature in the same season is definitely seven or eight degrees lower, especially in the morning and evening.

Of course, the ancients were more hardy, especially those who lived in the north for a long time, and they were already accustomed to cold winters.

Coal was used before the Song Dynasty, and in this year, Xu Hao promoted the iron stove, so that no one in Beiping, where countless coal mountains had been hoarded, was frozen to death, on the contrary, the situation of the officers and soldiers who only relied on wood for heating was very miserable.

Facing the majestic ice city that glittered like jade under the sunlight, the offensive of the official army gradually became weaker, and countless people were frostbitten, even if they forced the soldiers, they were unwilling to sell their lives.

Li Jinglong was at a loss for this, and although he was wrapped in fur, he really couldn't tolerate the cold winter in the north, and his temper had become more and more irritable in recent days.

Xu Wen couldn't help but suggest: "The plan now is not to forcibly requisition warm things under the order, urge the imperial court to transport quilts, cotton clothes, grain and grass, and wait for a year and a half of siege, and the city will be self-defeating without food." ”

"Idiot!" Li Jinglong raised his head and drank a glass of spirits, with a sneer on his face, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether Beiping takes it or not, otherwise why didn't I take Zhangyemen that day?" After losing Beiping, King Yan still has several fortified cities, and will even defend Daning Mansion or advance west to Datong, in which case the imperial court will not be able to support the needs of hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, this commander is to attract him Zhu Di to fight to the death, as long as Zhu Di can be completely defeated and captured alive, won't the entire Beiping Mansion be self-defeating? ”

Xu Wen said suddenly: "It turns out that the elder brother has a plan, and the younger brother admires it." ”

"Humph!" Li Jinglong, who was unspeakable, tried his best to hide a trace of timidity, from the information sent, King Yan actually held King Ning hostage, surrendered 60,000 armor in Daning in one fell swoop, and the strength of the Yan army from all walks of life was no less than 100,000 people. Can you defeat the invincible Zhu Di?

Li Jinglong, who was originally full of confidence, was awakened by the embarrassing reality, a lonely city can still resist desperately for so long, all men and women of all ages are desperate for King Yan, in comparison, his own ability is clear, but what about the court that seems to be strong and weak?

At this moment, on the head of the city, the eyes of the sergeants were fixed on Xu Dudu and his wife, who were like fairy couples, and their expressions were full of envy.

Zhang Chai and Changning Xianning, the two county lords and other official ladies, got together, even if they were delicate and expensive, they had to come to deliver meals every morning, noon and evening, which was the order of Princess Yan. The encouragement for the soldiers can be described as immeasurable, Xu Hao has laughed many times that the reason why the big guy can stick to it is that his aunt is the biggest hero.

The girls who have not yet come out of the pavilion all look at the resolute men who are not a few years older than themselves with admiration, even if they are covered in blood, they can't hide their handsome and unparalleled demeanor and pride. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, compared to the brave achievements of his father and brothers, and the elder brother of the Xu family, who experienced life and death together and commanded the whole army to fight in the bloody city without retreating a single step, is undoubtedly the big hero in the hearts of the girls.

Mu Ningxue stared at the outside of the city, her eyes were sad, and she muttered, "Poor and uncertain riverside bones." It's like a person in a deep dream. ”

Xu Hao sighed: "It's because I can't live with you, originally the whole family can live in the warm and pleasant, picturesque Jiangnan, and live a carefree life." ”

Mu Ningxue turned her head. His eyes were full of pity and encouragement, and he said softly: "Don't say that, husband, compared to a lifetime of obscurity and affection, a real man has to be ambitious in all directions." Otherwise, you'll end up depressed. Although the current casualties and hardships are sad and unbearable, he can personally accompany his husband and fight the enemy side by side, and even if the city is broken and he dies, he has no regrets. ”

Xu Hao took his wife into his arms with one hand with satisfaction. With a kiss, the sighs of the surrounding brothers and the exclamations of the girls ushered in, Zhang Hai even jumped up excitedly, and Zhu Zhiming, the lord of Xianning, touched his heart with both hands, and said: "I want to marry a man like my cousin who dares to be a man, so I envy Sister Ning Xue." ”

Xu Hao looked far away and said: "It's too late to regret now, you are my wife, you don't need to be sorry, since I have chosen this path, I have to continue to walk without hesitation, you also have to marry a chicken and a dog and a dog." ”

Mu Ningxue's face was blushing, and she slapped her husband lightly and cautiously, and said happily: "I am willing to accompany my husband to go on together, and never abandon life and death." ”

Suddenly, Xu Miaojin behind him said softly: "In the face of so many poor wives who are separated and their families are ruined, your husband and wife are still obsessed, don't you hear that you are looking back?" ”

Xu Hao didn't look back and said: "The north is burned and looted by foreign races from time to time, and recently the southern Japanese have become rampant, and every year there are homeless people killing officials and rebelling, and evil things happen every day, please teach me my aunt, how can I do it without myself?" ”

Xu Miaojin said: "Then you want to help King Yan rebel, and show your ambitions?" Save the people of Li from fire and water? ”

Xu Hao said: "On the contrary, I am in order to better enjoy the glory and wealth, fish and flesh of the people, if I can not die this time, I will stay in Beiping City in peace, and wait for King Yan to be awarded a knighthood after his success, and from then on I will be free to do some serious things." ”

Xu Miaojin was dumbfounded for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "You are honest, and you are so justified in saying your selfishness." ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "I don't want to be a stable rich man, but I understand the truth that the young and strong don't work hard and the boss is sad." Take it as before, he is a young master with an insignificant status at home, and no one pays attention to what he says, and he can't even protect the girls around him, is it interesting? Not to mention outside, if you don't work hard, how can Ning Xue marry me? Take it as an example, a rich kid who has no income, I'm afraid my aunt won't bother to talk to me, right? ”

Xu Miaojin said: "You are my nephew, how can I ignore you?" ”

Xu Hao laughed and said, "Yes! You are standing in the position of the elders, if I do something wrong or say anything rude, you will definitely teach me a lesson without hesitation, because I am just a side child, and you are the fourth lady of the Xu family, but what about now? ”

Xu Miaojin was silent again, now don't say it's himself, I'm afraid that even the old father can't blame Xu Hao too much, who in the whole family dares not to pay attention to every word said by the nephew in front of him? It is here in Beiping Mansion that Xu Hao already has the status of calling the wind and rain, which shows that what he said is right, women can live under the wing of the family, and men always have to strive for the top. Otherwise, you have to become a subordinate.

Xu Miaojin smiled bitterly: "Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, I hope you can do it yourself, otherwise there will be too many lessons from the past." ”

Mu Ningxue said softly: "My husband said earlier that I wanted to stay in Beiping, Hao'er knows the stakes, and my aunt can rest assured." ”

At that moment, Xu Hao smiled and hugged the stunning wife with a calm expression, and gently hugged the stunning little aunt who smiled helplessly, seeing the excited looks of Zhang Chai and his cousins, he had to go over and hug them one by one, and suddenly the girl smiled and hugged Mu Ningxue Xu Miaojin to return home, and at this time there was a bloody battle. No one cares about the rules and etiquette between men and women anymore, and the brothers around them are envious, jealous and hateful.

"I haven't seen the official army attacking the city all day, so my aunt should go back too." Xu Hao smiled at Princess Yan who walked over slowly.

Xu Shi was surprised and asked, "Are you going to withdraw the army?" ”

Xu Hao pointed to the continuous military camp lying outside the city, and explained: "Li Jinglong's tent is too quiet, and there is no sign of the official army attacking the city, he should have gone elsewhere last night, and when Gao Xi will send news, I guess my uncle's army may have arrived in Tongzhou." ”

"Great." Xu, who had been holding on for ten days, suddenly looked surprised, and suddenly his body fell down.

Xu Hao hurriedly reached out and hugged his aunt. pressed down the human acupoint, and roared: "Carry the princess back to the palace and pass on Langzhong." ”

At the same time, Zhu Di, who had reorganized the whole army, crossed Tongzhou City non-stop. Let King Ning and his wife and their baggage enter the city, Zhang Fu led the 5,000 Shenji battalion out of the city and arrived together near Zhengcun Dam, which is located in the middle of Beiping and Tongzhou.

Li Jinglong, who came overnight, received the news of the arrival of the rebels and sent the governor Chen Hui to lead 10,000 cavalry to cross the river in an attempt to sneak attack the Yan army from behind.

Chen Hui chose a mountain road and detoured to the rear. He turned his head and pursued, not wanting that the Yan army would soon have all crossed the frozen White River, and was arraying on the other side of the river to attack Li Jinglong's 250,000 troops.

"Kill!" Chen Hui immediately took the lead. Command the cavalry over the hard dirt road and gallop across the snow-white ice.

Zhu Di decisively ordered: "The cavalry will follow the king to meet the enemy." ”

The cavalry of the Yan army, which numbered as many as 30,000, immediately roared and followed the king of Yan and rushed over, facing the overwhelming number of rebels who far outnumbered him, Chen Hui gritted his teeth and killed the most eye-catching king of Yan.

But before the officers and soldiers rushed closer, they saw the Mongolian wearing leather armor whistling skillfully controlling the war horse with his legs, and bending his bow and arrows with both hands, Chen Hui's heart suddenly became cold, and in an instant, countless sharp arrows shot like lightning with a strong wind.

In just one photo, the officers and soldiers who were caught off guard fell no less than a thousand people, and half of them were only wounded by arrows, but they were trampled to death by the war horses galloping behind, which made the forward rush of the formation chaotic, and Chen Hui, who was distressed like dripping blood, hurriedly raised a round shield in front of him with one hand, and shouted with all his strength: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

The cavalry led by Chen Hui was all strictly trained by him, and under the order, all of them urgently slowed down and turned in one direction, and the uniform movements were breathtaking.

Zhu Di was amazed, and Ai Qicai ordered no need to pursue, who knew that the officers and soldiers were running and suddenly the ice broke, and the cracks spread to all sides at an alarming speed, trapping nearly 10,000 people in the icy river in an instant.

The Yan army was so frightened that they hurriedly turned their horses and fled towards the shore, and in this way, almost all of Chen Hui's 10,000 elite iron horsemen drowned in the Baihe River, and only less than 200 people struggled to get ashore.

Chen Hui, who was soaked and discouraged, wanted to cry without tears, kneeling on the shore and about to kill himself with a knife, but was saved by his subordinates.

The situation of Li Jinglong's 25th Army here is even worse than the 200,000 under Beiping City, more than half of the sergeants are only wearing single clothes, Wu Jie stormed Tongzhou City for 20 days, and Zhang Fu, who has nearly 10,000 muskets and artillery, has no temper at all, and is forced to retreat with countless casualties.

Sheng Yong, who was stationed in Dongba, did not dare to be negligent, and ordered the whole army to be under martial law day and night, because of the cold weather, countless people froze their hands and feet, morale was low, and the fighting spirit was slack.

After a little battle, the wolf-like Yan army broke seven battalions of the official army in a row, hundreds of thousands of people fought together, Zhu Di led 20,000 cavalry to rush left and right, galloping vertically and horizontally, like a divine soldier into a no-man's land.
