Chapter 166 Battle of Mengjin 1
In Henan in winter, there is a gradual severe cold, snowflakes are fluttering in the sky, and the trees on the roadside have already fallen off their branches and leaves and become bare. The sky was gloomy, and there was no sound on the whole snow-white earth except for the roaring wind.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the ground, but under the trampling of tens of thousands of horses, the white snowflakes have now become dirty and messy.
"Drive!"
"Woo-hoo~~!"
"Report!"
"To my lord, the Yellow River is three miles ahead. Now the surface of the Yellow River has been completely frozen, and it is very strong when you step on it."
On the handsome war horse, Duoduo shook the snowflakes on his body. This heavy snow can be completely ignored for people like him who have lived in the extremely cold place in the northeast since childhood. Compared with the cold of more than minus 20 degrees in the northeast, even if it snows heavily in Henan, it is only minus 7 or 8 degrees. However, the cold still froze the beard on Duoduo's lips with a thin layer of ice and dyed the black beard white.
"Go on and rest on the spot. Order the scouts to cross the Yellow River first to explore the way.
The guard took the order and rode away.
Opposite the Yellow River is Mengjin City. Now Duoduo only needs to walk through the icy Yellow River to reach the hinterland of Luoyang. Duoduo still doesn't know about the Hu prison, so Duoduo is still very confident in defeating Liu Xia by Luoyang. After all, if there is a two-sided attack, no matter how strong the Hu Prison Pass is, no matter how powerful the Pingbei Army is, it will definitely be destroyed in the end.
"This year's snow is a little late!" Duoduo looked at the snow and said sadly.
The relative Wei next to him said respectfully, "Your Majesty is no better than our Liaodong. I'm afraid it will snow in Liaodong in October."
"En" Duoduo raised his head, looked at thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and said boldly, "It is said that when it is already snowing heavily in the north, the south can still wear thin clothes. If it's winter, I can go to the south to avoid the cold, and if it's summer, I can go back to the south to the north to escape the heat. It's good. This great country must be taken down!"}
"What the prince said is that this country was originally full of us, but it was just forcibly occupied by the Han people. Now we just take back our previous things and eliminate these Han dogs by the way."
"Yes, our iron horse in the Qing Dynasty will definitely walk all over China and turn these Chinese dogs into our captive livestock. The beauty provides it for us, and the food provides it for us, hahahaha!" Duoduo laughed wildly.
Looking at Duoduo laughing, the guards around Duoduo also laughed. After all, the masters laughed. If they didn't laugh, how bad it would be. In order to please the masters, they must also laugh.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's going to be dark now. Shall we cross the Yellow River and stay there?"
After listening to this, Duoduo looked up at the sky. Because of the snow, the sky was unusually gloomy, not to mention that it was winter, so it was dark earlier. Duoduo thought for a moment and said, "Give it on the spot. Crossing the Yellow River will cause the enemy's vigilance. At the same time, a large number of people were sent to monitor the surroundings. If any unknown person is found, he can't be arrested immediately. Whether he is a commoner or a soldier, hum, he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.
"Yes!"
After saying that, the personal guard said, and then the order was quickly passed down, and the person in charge of the heavy began to set up the tent.
The snowflakes are still falling quietly, and they did not stop because there were 30,000 more people in this place. The snowy day is not a good time for war, so Duoduo hopes that it will be sunny tomorrow, and then cross the Yellow River and go straight to Luoyang.
"Luoyang, I have been there once before, and I believe it will arrive smoothly this time."
The auspicious snow promises a bumper harvest, which is especially liked by the people in heavy snow, because there is more snow this year, and the end next year will be relatively better. There is no proverb: in winter, the wheat cover is covered with three layers of quilts, and next year you will sleep with steamed buns. However, for some people in China, no matter how heavy the snow is this year, they still have no harvest. Instead, they will freeze to death because of the heavy snow and cold weather.
The war caused the population to leave their homes and go into exile everywhere. These people have no fixed residence and nothing to eat. Their resistance to the cold winter is very weak. In today's world, there are migrant workers, and left-behind children die in the dustbin because of the cold. In the troubled times of social turmoil, relatively backward productivity and poverty of the people, I don't know how many people will die of hunger and cold this winter.
The wolf roar group sends a large number of scouts to patrol along the Yellow River every day, even in this snowy weather. The soldiers did not dare to neglect at all. After all, they live behind their families and friends. If they do not guard this line of defense, their relatives and friends may be slaughtered by the Qing army.
There were two people and two war horses in a dilapidate grass house on the south bank of the Yellow River. The two people were wearing black military uniforms and could recognize the Pingbei Army at a glance. Because the house was in disrepair, there was a big hole in the roof, and snowflakes kept falling from above.
There is a lit fire in the middle of the room, where the two are roasting their hands.
"You said that the snow is coming. Will the enemy come?"
Another Pingbei army scout put his cold hand on the flame for a while, took a breath and muttered, "This is not necessarily true. Maybe the enemy has arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, just waiting for the snow to stop. We will continue to warm up and go to patrol."
"Well, this slain who killed thousands of knives knows how to attack us. Their 70,000 troops have been defeated. I don't know what these 30,000 troops can do."
Another scout said, "Ha ha, don't underestimate the Taran. The combat effectiveness of the Tarat is still very strong, but our general's tactics are good, which makes the enemy's army unstable, and he will be defeated. If you don't want to win, you can't win. Alas, it's so cold, and I don't know how your sister-in-law is doing in Luoyang. I guess she can give birth to a big fat boy for me in a few months. In this way, my old Li's family will also have a comeback. I'm worthy of my ancestors, and I haven't broken the roots in my generation.
"Big brother, I don't have a wife yet..."
The scout smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. After this battle, the eldest brother will tell you the matchmaker."
After listening to the little scout, his face suddenly showed joy and said, "I don't know what a woman feels like yet. Hey hey, big brother, you have to keep your word!"
"Speak and keep your word. All right, put out the fire. Let's ride a horse and go for a tour.
"Good!"
After saying that, the two extinguished the flames on the ground, and then took the horses in the room out and rode outside.
"Dad." Several rows of horseshoe prints were left on the snow-white ground, but the falling snowflakes soon covered the horseshoe prints.
The two ran for two quarters of an hour. The little scout shouted to another scout, "Brother, stop, stop quickly."
The other scout turned around and asked with a questioning face, "What's wrong?"
The little scout said, "Brother, look, there is a black spot. Above the Yellow River." The little scout pointed to several black spots on the surface of the kilometer Yellow River, which had already been covered with heavy snow.
"Oh, my God, there really is. There should be no one on the Yellow River at this time! The army, the other party is still a clean soldier.
"It's not good! This must be the advance scout of the enemy. I'm afraid we're in trouble. Let's go!" After saying that, the scout shouted to the little scout.
It was the first time that the little scout encountered this situation, so he asked, "Brother, what should we do now?"
Another scout said, "Go to Mengjin and report to the regimental commander that the enemy is afraid of coming. I continue to monitor this group of people here, and I must not let them sneak into Mengjin.
"Brother, this, this is too dangerous. I'm not leaving!"
"I'm the eldest brother, I have the final say! Hurry up, or I won't recognize your brother. Remember to tell the general as soon as possible. If it's late, maybe Luoyang City will be in danger. Now that the general's reinforcements have not come, there are more than 2,000 brothers in our wolf Xiao Group.
"Big Brother~~"
"Go quickly!"
PS: Don't go away. There will be another update in the evening.
