The wind and snow that covered the sky came earlier than in previous years.
The closer we got to the border of the Great Wall, the stronger the wind and snow became. Ice and snow, like ice particles, came overwhelmingly, making people unable to open their eyes and hitting their faces, causing bursts of pain.
In the wind and snow, a team moved forward with difficulty. The cavalry were lucky enough to bend down on their horses and use their backs to block the ice and snow. Those who had to carry their own heavy equipment were also responsible for driving the carts and dragging the army's baggage.
For the infantry, one foot is deep and the other foot is shallow.
During the march, despite being intimidated by the commander's prestige and strict military discipline, no one among the tens of thousands of people dared to complain, but the filthy words of mother and father, cursing God, were always on their lips.
Damn it, where should I study? Your father and I are all frozen!
This damn evil day makes Grandpa’s birds shrink!
It doesn’t rain in the spring, and there is no wind in the summer. But in the winter, you get excited and it snows to death!
The curses of the soldiers did not change the weather. In the howling cold wind, the fluttering battle flag of the Ming Dynasty was also covered with frost.
Lan Yu moved forward slowly on the horse, the frost on her cheeks blended with the iron helmet, and her beard and eyebrows hung straight, like an iceman.
He looked back at the team, then turned to Fu Rang beside him and said, Damn, this can't work, it's so slow, how long will it take to get there? When we get there, Zhu Laosi may not even be able to bear it!
In the whole world, apart from the old man, the only person in the world who dares to call King Yan Zhu Laosi and does not shy away from others is probably the one in front of him.
However, it is not surprising at all. When the general was fighting in Mobei, he dared to speak arrogantly to his generals with an imperial edict.
We will win the battle. Your Majesty knows the ball in the Jinluan Palace. Listen to me!
So at this moment, hearing Lan Yu being so rude, Fu Rang's face did not change and he said, "Lan Shuai, there is nothing we can do about it. We really can't get up in such a heavy snowstorm!"
Lan Yu looked at him, frowned and said, "You are too calm-tempered. There is no way to fight the war. If you have no other way, you have to find a way!" Then he added, "You are not young anymore. In the future, your father will retire."
When you come down, you have to go to the army and lead the troops. It is a good thing to be stable when serving as a servant for His Highness, but it will not work if you are too safe to lead the troops in war!
When the other party mentioned his father, Fu Rang looked a little worried.
In recent years, his father, Duke Ying, Fu Youde, has been stationed in Korea. The servants there sent a message saying that the old man's health is not very good. It is said that a few days ago, he was so sick that he couldn't even get on the horse. Now he has overtaken one hundred thousand Tatars.
I don't know what happened to my father's health during the great war that his son came to invade.
Seeing that Fu Rang's expression was not good, Lan Yu thought he was thinking of something else, so he continued, "That's you, for your father's sake, I'm going to say a few words. Others want to hear, but I'm too lazy to say anything!"
Lan Shuai taught him a lesson! Fu Rang hurriedly spoke, saying that he just thought of his father, a little sentimental!
Lan Yu sighed slightly, a general will inevitably die in battle, why are you sentimental? He died on the bed, in a woman's bed, what kind of general is that? Damn!
At this moment, in the wind and snow, both men and horses were cavalry covered in frost, riding over.
Report to Lan Shuai! One of them opened his mouth and snowflakes fell down his beard. The brothers were in front and met the spies from King Yan who came to report the news!
Suddenly, Lan Yu's expression changed.
He said urgently, "Bring it quickly!" Then he gritted his teeth and said, "What a fool!"
Fu Rang looked at his expression, Lan Shuai, why are you here?
Although Zhu Laosi has not been a good person since he was a child, he is still good at fighting and has an arrogant temper. If it were not for a military crisis, he would not be able to stand it and would definitely not send out detective horses!
Just as he was talking, several embarrassed cavalrymen rolled over and rushed over.
In front is Lan Shuai, we are King Yan Qiansui...
Damn it, hurry up! Lan Yu said impatiently, "How long has it been? You're still a thousand years old!"
The spy said breathlessly, the Tatar army of 120,000, including the Uliangha Tribe and the Tartar Tribe, all came out in full force and besieged my Chitose family at the other end of Huangyugou. The Tatars formed a fan, with the left front
In formation, they occupied the high ground of Mao'er Mountain on the right, and they were all cavalry!
In an instant, Lan Yu frowned deeply and her eyes became ferocious.
What kind of battle is this? Lan Yu growled, he won't run if he can't be beaten? Why did he have people surround him? Forget it if he surrounded him, the high ground on the side is still occupied by his cavalry. Where is his own cavalry? I
I remember that Mr. Zhu used to be...
Ahem! Fu Rang quickly reminded him.
I remember that before King Yan, he often recruited cavalry. What happened? Where are his horses? Are they lost? Where are his cavalry? Are they urinating on the kang?
The spy who reported the news blushed, lowered his head and said, more than half of our cavalry brothers were killed in the battle, and the rest were all injured! As he said that, he suddenly raised his head and said loudly, our brothers have been defeated twice, but they are not scared.
However, they all died in the battle, and they were all well done! Then, looking directly at Lan Yu, the biological brother marked by the mark died in front of the Tartar king's tent!
Lan Yu looked at the other party and spoke slowly, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing!" Then he cursed again, "The more you live, the more you go back. He, the good Erlang of Yan Fan, actually lost the battle!"
Suddenly, the spy who reported the news knelt down directly in the snow and shouted loudly, Lan Shuai, please hurry up. My Chitose and the Erlangs were surrounded by the Tatars for many days, and they attacked fiercely every day. The brothers suffered heavy casualties and could not hold on.
How long did you stay? There was no shortage of food in the camp, but there was no firewood at all. Many wounded brothers did not die on the battlefield, but froze to death!
You cannot fight without water in summer, and you cannot fight without fire in winter.
Everyone else understands this truth, Lan Yu, but he has other considerations.
You have 40,000 people. As for the Tatars, I heard it is 120,000. You have no cavalry and you have cut off the transport routes. If the Tatars really try their best, let alone King Yan, he will be a god.
I can't stand it! Lan Yu thought and said, "It seems that the Tatars want more than just eating you!"
Surround the area for reinforcements! Fu Rang also frowned and said, The Tatars are waiting for reinforcements from King Yan, waiting for us!
Ha! Lan Yu grinned. You want to ambush me? Tartars are really dogs. They put down their paws and forget about them. When I came, I didn't beat them!
With that said, he asked the spy, "Mao'er Mountain has been occupied. How many enemies are there?"
I don’t know the price of this one! The spy said with shame, “Originally, there were ten of us in the team, but under the pursuit of the Tatars, there were only three of us left!”
Who is the commander-in-chief of the other side? Lan Yu asked again.
The spy lowered his head and said nothing, his head almost buried in his crotch in shame.
I don’t know what to ask! Unexpectedly, Lan Yu started laughing.
After waiting for a while, he turned around and said to the generals around him, Mao'er Mountain is the only high ground on the other side of Huangyugou. In this weather, if the cavalry wants to charge, they have to occupy that place. And standing high, you can see
Far away, from there we can have a clear view of the battlefield and advance and retreat freely!
Fu Rang and others nodded. They had been exposed to this tactic since childhood, so they naturally knew it.
But knowing is one thing, and how to do it is another.
Nowadays, Mao'er Mountain is occupied by countless Tatars. How can we get it back? Mao'er Mountain is only more than a hundred miles away from here. By the time the army passes, the Tatar spies will have already discovered it.
If it snows, it's fine, because the Tatar cavalry can't charge and can only take precautions. But if it doesn't snow, the Tatars charge condescendingly, and their own team doesn't even have a rest, so how can they resist?
Lan Yu looked at everyone and suddenly cursed, who is leading the Beijing camp now?
It used to be Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, but now it is Chang Sheng, the founding Duke! Someone on the side said.
Damn it, how the hell did he lead the troops, leading a group of raw melon eggs! Lan Yu was dissatisfied, and suddenly turned around and shouted, let Da Lao Hei, Xu Stupid Donkey, Go to Death Niu and others come to see me!
What he called were his old troops in the army. These people themselves were veteran generals in the army, and they all happened to be in the army during this expedition.
After the voice fell, someone came to deliver the message.
After Fu Rang thought for a moment, he said worriedly, Lan Shuai, are you going to fight?
