In the second half of the night, heavy snow began to fall.

It was freezing outside, but it was not too bad inside the snow cave.

Although it’s not warm, at least I can fall asleep.

Yun Zheng also couldn't help but sigh that his decision to feed these Tian Bing with meat was a very wise one.

They ate a lot of sheep and skinned them.

Now, all these sheepskins come in handy.

If there were no sheepskin under their bodies, no one would be able to sleep that night.

In the morning, Yun Zheng walked out of the snow cave.

Above the sky, heavy snow was still falling.

Looking up, I couldn't see anything beyond fifty meters.

...

...

Yun Zheng cursed the terrible weather in Shuobei in his heart while leading his men to the outpost.

The people in the outpost were boiling snow water. Yun Zheng was just about to ask them for a bowl of boiling water to soak the dry food when he suddenly heard a sound of "hoof tapping, hoof tapping".

Although the wind was howling, the sound was still extremely clear.

That's the sound of horse hooves hitting the ice!

The Beihuan cavalry is in action!

Yun Zheng suddenly shuddered, immediately dropped the dry food in his hand, and roared to Gao He: "Pass the order, the whole army is on alert! No one is allowed to act without authorization until the drums sound!"

Gao He did not dare to delay and hurried down to pass on the order.

As Yun Zheng's order was passed on, the sound of horse hooves became louder and louder.

Listening to the deafening sound of horse hooves, Yun Zheng couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

If this thing causes resonance and cracks the ice surface, this battlefield, which should be full of seriousness, will probably turn into a comedy.

Depend on!

This is a fucking war!

What are you thinking about?

Yun Zheng shook his head vigorously, threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and quickly climbed to the high position of the sentry. At the same time, he ordered the sentry soldiers, "Send the signal smoke!"

The sentry commander replied in panic, "Your Majesty, the snow is too heavy. We can't see even if we set off smoke signals!"

“Stop talking nonsense!”

Yun Zheng shouted angrily, "Hurry up and set off the signal smoke!"

The village chief didn't dare to say anything more and immediately asked someone to set off a signal fire.

Looking at the flustered village chief, Yun Zheng couldn't help but curse in his heart.

This idiot!

The signal smoke wasn’t meant for their own people to see!

This is for the Beihuan cavalry to see!

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Judging from the noise, there must be a lot of people coming from Beihuan.

"Are you cold?"

Seeing Yun Zheng's body shaking constantly, Miaoyin couldn't help but ask with concern.

"I'm nervous!"

Yun Zheng whispered: "Don't talk, I'm afraid I'll be distracted..."

Miaoyin couldn't help but be surprised when she heard Yun Zheng's words.

He is so nervous?

The enemy's movements were all within his expectations, so why was he still nervous?

Yun Zheng couldn't explain his nervousness to Miaoyin.

He could only try his best to calm himself down.

As they waited, the sound of horse hooves grew closer.

Here we come!

It's finally here!

Yun Zheng was both nervous and excited.

He could only keep his mouth shut tightly, fearing that he would accidentally give a wrong order.

At this moment, the Beihuan army was gathering at the mouth of the canyon.

"General, the enemy's sentinels have lit signal smoke!"

At this time, the front army sent someone to report to Shudu.

"Wolf smoke?"

Shudu was slightly stunned, then sneered: "These cowardly sheep have been scared silly! What's the point of setting off signal smoke in such a heavy snow? Haha..."

"Not only are they gutless, they are also extremely stupid!"

Deputy General Yesuxian also laughed out loud, "If they don't send out signal smoke signals, we'll have to be more careful! The Imperial Master is right, a sheep without courage or strategy!"

Once the signal smoke is released, isn't it equivalent to telling them that Dagan is completely unprepared?

They had been worried before, fearing that a small number of people from the Da Gan faction would set up an ambush here.

Now, they don’t have to worry at all!

At this time, the front army sent someone to report that they were ambushed by Dagan's men.

"How many troops?"

The doctor asked immediately.

“Just a few dozen people!”

The messenger replied: "They attacked us with bows and arrows and stones, causing us a small number of casualties."

Yesuxian immediately reacted, "This must be someone from the sentinel."

"Just a few dozen people, you think you can stop the Northern Huan cavalry?"

Shudu sneered with disdain, and then shouted, "Pass the order down. Ignore the enemy's obstruction and pass through the canyon at full speed!"

"yes!"

The messenger immediately went forward to deliver the message.

Shudu twisted his neck and yelled at the people around him with a fierce look on his face: "Go! This general will use their hearts to drink!"

"yes!"

Everyone around Shudu yelled in unison.

Everyone seemed extremely excited.

Under Shudu's command, the Beihuan cavalry rushed into the canyon in an endless stream.

This canyon is long and narrow, with the widest part of the canyon not exceeding a hundred feet.

The narrowest part is probably only 20 or 30 feet wide, allowing at most a few dozen cavalrymen to pass side by side.

If ordinary cavalry rushed in in a disorderly manner, it would easily cause collisions and lead to people and horses being trampled.

But Shudu's troops were the elite cavalry of Beihuan, and each of them was well-trained.

Even when running at high speed, the army's formation was not at all disordered.

Soon, all 5,000 vanguard troops entered the canyon.

Above the canyon, the Dagan sentinels seemed to have run out of arrows and could only throw stones down.

Although these stones caused some casualties to the Beihuan cavalry, the impact was not significant.

Even facing the attack from these stones, the Northern Huan cavalry remained calm.

There were even cavalrymen who drew their bows and shot arrows upwards while crossing the canyon.

"We can't stop it anymore, retreat, retreat quickly!"

At this time, the sound of retreat was heard in the canyon.

Shudu laughed out loud.

These fierce sheep will just run away if they encounter the slightest counterattack!

But can they escape?

After killing them, you still want to escape?

dream!

"Assault! All-out assault!"

Shudu galloped on his horse and roared.

Following Shudu's roar, the Beihuan cavalry continued to gather in the canyon.

The dull sound of horse hooves continued to echo in the canyon.

Shudu's face was full of excitement.

They are going to capture the Sixth Prince!

He is the only prince in Dagan who was crowned king as an exception!

No matter what happens next, as long as we can capture the prince, it will be a great achievement.

If we could defeat Dagan's reinforcements or seize Shuofang City, it would be an even greater achievement.

“Ouch…”

The more Shudu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but imitate the howl of a wolf.

Hearing Shudu imitating the howl of a wolf, many Beihuan cavalrymen also followed suit.

“Ouch…”

“Ouch…”

For a while, the howling of wolves continued to echo in the canyon.

The wolf howls that came one after another seemed to be announcing their victory.

“Boom boom boom…”

Just as the army was gathering in the valley, a burst of rapid drum beats suddenly rang in their ears.

Hearing the drumbeats, many Beihuan cavalrymen in the canyon were slightly stunned.

Before they could come to their senses, a large number of firewood bundles suddenly appeared on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon entrance.

Bundles of dry firewood kept rolling into the canyon, blocking the retreat of the Beihuan cavalry.

"Shoot!"

Following an order, a sea of ​​burning rockets poured down on the pyre...
