Looking at the mountains and rivers

The gale was running fast on the ice field, like a bluish-gray gust, because the wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, Wei Changxuan had to lower his body as much as possible on the horse, and the howling north wind filled his ears, almost making him He could hear no other sound.

The scouts led them through the Stone City, and went around from the path among the hills to the rear. When the team of a hundred people climbed the rugged mountain road in the snow, the tent of the Yanyu Camp finally appeared in front of them.

The tent was even wider than Wei Changxuan expected. He leaned down on the snowy slope and looked down, only to see that the top of the tent had been covered in white by the heavy snow, stretching out dozens of large and small stretches. inside.From time to time, a team of Yanyu soldiers carrying knives patrolled the tents. It seemed that the Yanyu people had left some manpower to guard the camp here.

"Look, it seems to be their supply camp over there." Wei Changxuan squinted his eyes and pointed to the northwest direction of the barracks.

The sergeants behind him were a little puzzled. The tents looked the same except for their size, so how could they be sure that the supply camp was there.

"There are dozens of snowdrifts outside the tent over there," Wei Changxuan said confidently, "Although it is covered with snow, judging from its shape, it must be a cart. In those tents next to the car."

Although what he said made sense, the scout still hesitated and shook his head: "Baichang Wei, there are soldiers on duty outside the camp over there. As soon as we make a move, we will alert them immediately. If there is not a heavy camp over there, we will not only If you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that the lives of more than a hundred people will be buried here."

Hearing what he said, Wei Changxuan was startled, and he looked over there again, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you see the difference between the Yanyu soldiers on duty and other soldiers?"

The scout tried his best to look over there, because the distance was too far, those people looked like the size of ants, he didn't see anything strange for a while, but Wei Changxuan said again: "Don't you think it's strange, in such severe cold weather, they Not even a fire was lit."

Yanyu camp.

The heavy snow had accumulated for a month, and the soldiers guarding the camp kept going around the tent, rubbing their stiff joints back and forth with their hands. They dared not stop, fearing that if they were not careful, they would freeze in the snow. .Every corner of the other camps had a lively fire, and they could go to a sheltered place to warm up if they had time to spare, but this camp guard team could only live in the snow and suffer from the cold.Because there is a strict order in the army, no open flames can be seen within a hundred feet of the baggage camp where the military equipment, food and grass are piled up.

Waci was the leader of the team. Hiding in his small tent, he took out an iron can with great effort from under his leather armor, and was about to hand it to his mouth, but found that the can was empty.He rushed out of the tent annoyed, and cursed at his subordinates, who shook their heads one by one, no one wanted to admit that he had stolen the little spirit he treasured.Waci refused to let it go. He turned his eyes to scan the faces of his subordinates, and finally found a young man with unusually red cheeks. The young man met his eyes, gradually showing a little panic.Wa Ci grabbed the riding whip at his waist, and slowly approached him, and was about to raise his hand to give him a whip, but heard a sharp sound flying over his head, it was an extremely fast feathered arrow, Right on the forehead of the young man, the trace of fear in his eyes has not dissipated, and then he fell to the ground suddenly.

Waci was shocked all over, and he turned around immediately, only to see a green horse leaping into the gate of the camp, and the sergeant on the horse was obviously in the uniform of the Central Plains.He couldn't figure out why someone from the Central Plains would pass through the army in front and enter the camp in the rear, but now he couldn't care less about thinking. He instinctively pulled out the knife at his waist and headed towards the raiding team. Cut over.

Although the opponent's momentum was fierce, they showed jerky when fighting hand-to-hand. Wa Ting, who had experienced many battles, could tell at a glance that this group of Central Plains soldiers were still new to the battlefield, and they were only driven by a burst of courage. His ruthlessness is not strong enough.

Waci yelled while waving his saber, and his companion in front of him immediately crouched down. This was their tacit understanding on the battlefield many times.He stepped on his companion's back, jumped up in the air, cut off with the blade, and the head rolled off, and then the opponent's headless torso also fell from the horse.

Seeing the dead comrades, the Central Plains soldiers seemed even more hesitant and panicked. Waci wiped the blood off his face and smiled ferociously. He raised his knife again and rushed forward with a strange cry.However, a heavy blow hit his forehead hard, and there was a buzzing in his ears, and he shook his head vigorously, only then did he see clearly that the person who attacked him was the one who rushed into the camp gate first.Wa Ci's men immediately rushed to the man brandishing their knives. The man had a long and heavy saber in his hand. He swung the saber nonchalantly, but he flew the two knives in front of him one after another. The blood of those two subordinates was also splashed out by the knife.

The green steed under the opponent's crotch was very tall. It stepped over the fallen corpses on both sides and approached Waci, its breath heavy like thunder.Waci could almost smell the fishy smell from the horse, and he felt a little terrified in his heart, struggling to retreat, but the dignity of the Yanyu people did not allow him to retreat, so he could only raise his knife and charge forward to the enemy's horse without hesitation past.

The heavy saber was pressed down, and it wasn't until that moment that Waci understood why the swords of his subordinates were easily picked away by him. The power transmitted from the opponent's sword was too amazing.Just when the edge of the blade was almost close to Waci's neck, a long knife flew over and threw it straight at the ghost-like Central Plains warrior. He suddenly lowered his head and dodged the knife. He lowered his head so violently that even his helmet fell off.

It was only then that Wacha was able to see the true face of this enemy, and unexpectedly, he was an extremely handsome young man.Waci didn't care about his beauty, he couldn't let go of this last chance, and suddenly turned the blade and stabbed into the opponent's body.

The moment Wei Changxuan lowered his head, it was too late to dodge the knife, he could only do his best to turn his body sideways, and let the blade avoid the vital point, but it cut into the leather armor and pierced his waist.In the posture of leaning over the horse, he used a broken jaw, which was the ultimate move of Chen's saber technique, and it was also the pinnacle of saber technique. The saber slashed across the face of the leader of Yan Yu with penetrating power. , cut off half of his head flatly.

Bright red blood and white brains splashed all over Wei Changxuan's face, he didn't care to wipe off the strong smell, he just pressed the wound on his waist, raised his head and shouted loudly: "Light on the fire!"

The raging fire ignited the camp, and when the Yanyu soldiers guarding the camp rushed over, all they saw were the charred corpses of their comrades and most of the food that had been burned.This raiding team was obviously not many in number, and they retreated extremely fast. The messy horseshoe marks in the snow were heading towards the valley, and it seemed that they had already run a long way.

The valley in the snow was extremely wet and slippery, Gaefeng's horse's hooves almost missed the ground several times, almost knocking Wei Changxuan off his back.Wei Changxuan held onto the horse's mane tightly. He was a little dizzy due to blood loss, but he still pretended nothing happened, and tried his best to straighten his back: "Hurry up, and you will reach Yunxia after crossing the mountain." It's closed, and when we go back..."

The scout suddenly reined in the horse in front, his face changed slightly: "Baichang Wei, wait a moment."

"what happened?"

The scout jumped off the horse, brushed off the broken snow on the ground, put his ears on the frozen ground, and after a while, raised his face: "There are a large number of cavalry approaching here."

Wei Changxuan's expression also changed. This is the rear of Yanyu's army. It must not be the Donghu army that can approach, but Yanyu's cavalry. He whispered: "How could it be? All the troops are going to lead the Yanyu army to the foot of the mountain to ambush them, they shouldn't have come back so fast! Could it be that..."

The scout looked solemn: "Wei Baichang, regardless of the front line, it's just that the valley in front of us is narrow. Once we bump into Yanyu's main army, we will be wiped out in an instant."

Wei Changxuan naturally understood this. He looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand and said, "Back up the hillside."

At the end of the valley, there were already pieces of snow flying up. The soldiers of the Imperial Army lay down in the snow, feeling the ground trembling slightly under them. Wei Changxuan was lying beside them, the blood on the side of his waist dripping onto the ground along the leather armor. on the snow.

"It's from Yanyu." Wei Changxuan lowered his voice, his eyes were fixed on the Yanyu flag that appeared in his field of vision, and suddenly he drew his longbow from behind and shouted in a low voice, "A bow and arrow!"

The sergeants all knew that they were about to face the Yanyu army, and the despair in their hearts was already welling up, and the hands that took out their bows and arrows were trembling involuntarily.

"Have you heard the horn of the order?" Wei Changxuan turned over and sat up. He falsely drew his horn bow and pointed towards the direction of the Yanyu cavalry, "They are retreating, and there must be our army chasing them from behind. Let's shoot arrows and cut off the enemy's retreat."

At this time, no one questioned the order because they had no other choice.

After the smoke and dust passed, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and the hands of the young imperial guards were shaking their bows. Wei Changxuan knew that their courage was exhausted, and it was useless to say anything at this time, so he simply shut his mouth. , watching the movement down the hillside coldly.

Behind the mighty Yanyu army, there was indeed another military flag rising from the end of the sky, Wei Changxuan looked excited: "It's General Yuchi's man," he said in a deep voice, "Draw the bow!"

The soldiers beside him drew their strings one after another, and Wei Changxuan suddenly pushed the bowstring away: "Shoot!"

Dozens of long arrows directly pierced through the bodies of the cavalry in the canyon. The Yanyu army who was marching rapidly was obviously taken aback. They immediately grabbed the bows and arrows on their horses and shot back on the hillside.Countless arrows rained down, Wei Changxuan tried his best to lower his body, and wailing came from around him. He knew that some of his companions had been shot by the enemy's arrows, but at this moment, he didn't even have the chance to turn around. No.

"Baichang Wei!" The scout suddenly shouted, "That's He Lu, Yan Yu's general!"

Wei Changxuan hurriedly looked at the place he was pointing at, and saw a very burly figure in the middle of the Yanyu cavalry, he was holding a heavy hammer in both hands, and he was wearing a copper-colored armor: "So that's He Lu. He nodded, took out an arrow from his quiver, aimed it in the direction of the figure, and instantly the arrow left the string and flew straight towards the man.

However, before the long arrow hit the man, it was cut off by the warrior beside him with a knife. The red copper warrior turned his face to look at the hillside. His face was full of shock and anger, and he shouted something, and then there was A large number of Yanyu soldiers rushed up the hillside.

"Get on the horse!" Wei Changxuan shouted loudly, he knew that he had successfully provoked the opponent and disrupted their retreat, but the price he paid was that their centurion was surrounded by the enemy, There is also no way out.

Liefeng hissed and jumped up. Wei Changxuan grabbed its mane and quickly got on his horse and rushed towards the enemy.

During the melee, Wei Changxuan picked up another long knife thrown by the enemy, he swung the knife with both hands, the wings of the knife raised up, and the blood flowed up with the blade, almost trying to cut a bloody path.Suddenly, a muffled voice came from behind his head. It was He Lu's heavy hammer, with an iron chain tied to it, and when he swung it over a distance of Zhang Xu, it almost smashed Wei Changxuan's head.

The scout behind him tried his best to raise the long knife, and used the blade to block the attack of the hammer, but the force on the hammer was so heavy that it knocked him off the horse in an instant.Wei Changxuan, who turned around, looked shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him onto the horse, but the sharp light of the knife suddenly fell from the side. It was the long knife commonly used by Yanyu people, and it split the scout into two obliquely from top to bottom. cut.

The outstretched hand of the scout fell heavily, his blood piercing Wei Changxuan's eyes hurting, his anger broke out completely, crossing the blade and brushing the belly of the horse beside him, the horse fell down wailing, and immediately The soldier also rolled into the snow and was cut off by the saber.

The strong smell of blood caused Wei Changxuan to be in a trance for a moment. During the repeated movements of swinging the knife, the wound on his waist had completely ruptured. The snow behind him was full of blood and corpses. He saw his companion who set out with him in the morning They crawled on the ground one after another, their minds went blank.

It turned out they were all dead.Wei Changxuan felt a chill all over his body, and he could hardly lift his knife.The horse's hooves sounded quickly, and the Yanyu cavalry on both sides came forward and raised their knives at the same time, leaving him no room to dodge.Just as the cold light fell from the top of his head, Wei Changxuan suddenly slammed into the blade on one side. He was stabbed on the shoulder, but the blade in his hand also cut open the enemy soldier's stomach.The black iron hooves all around forced him up, and he stood on the ground, his eyes were blood red.

"Wei Changxuan, what should I do?" A sobbing voice suddenly sounded in my ear.

When Wei Changxuan was overwhelmed by the tide of enemies, Yang Yan's face flashed in Wei Changxuan's mind, and he suddenly laughed. The Yanyu soldier who rushed in front of him seemed to be bewitched by this smile, and forgot to lift his hand. knife in hand.Wei Changxuan raised his head suddenly, and his lips seemed to whisper softly: "Yexi, I will never die." After speaking, he drew out the heavy saber, jumped up suddenly, and chopped off the opponent's head forcefully .
