"If you work harder, it's still a little short of filling the moat and we can attack the crisp ice wall! Come on!"

The last bit of sunshine, which had no heat, disappeared in the mountains. In the howling wind, under the leopard, Udir looked at the last trench left in front of him, and was excited, with a gaze radiating a feverish light. Although this trench was wider and deeper than every trench in the past, it was also the last trench. As long as it could fill it, they could attack the city. In his opinion, as long as it could attack the city, the shining crystal ice castle was beautiful, but it would definitely be very crisp and vulnerable. As long as it could attack the city, they could attack the ice castle, break the cage that trapped them, and kill the Han people and overwhelmed it alone.

The dusk gradually became darker and the sky became dimmer, but Udir became happier. It was better to get darker. When they filled the trenches, the crossbowmen in the city were not so good. They could take advantage of the opportunity to fill the trenches at night, take the opportunity to poach the walls, or even build ladders to grab the walls directly.

Under the White Tiger Supervisor Flag on the Ice Castle Tower, Yi Feng praised Zhang Jin: "Have you contacted General Shan and General Qin?" Faced with the bursts of shouts and shouts from Tongluo people under the city, he did not have any surprise on his face, but instead showed a slight smile. This was a confident smile that was in control.

Zhang Jin, the commander of the cavalry reconnaissance regiment, said nodding and responding: "The people sent out have returned. The generals of the cavalry battalion's plan have notified the two generals of the cavalry battalion. They replied that everything will be followed by the commander of the cavalry." Zhang Jin said that he was in a good mood recently and ran around for a while. Although the task was heavy, he also got a lot of opportunities to perform. He completed every mission very much to satisfy Yi Shuai. A few days ago, Yi Shuai had already talked to him and told him that the cavalry battalion and the reconnaissance regiment would be expanded, and the cavalry reconnaissance regiment would be expanded into a cavalry.

The army reconnaissance battalion, and the battalion general of the reconnaissance battalion, Yi Shuai had already hinted that he would take charge of the general. Although it would be difficult to complete the expansion for a while, at least this was Yi Shuai's promise. With this sentence, after the reconnaissance battalion was expanded, he would naturally be the battalion general. From the regiment commander to the battalion general, this could be promoted not to level one, but several levels. Especially this would be a cavalry battalion. The level of the cavalry battalion has always been one level higher than that of the infantry battalion, which shows that Yi Shuai was still very satisfied with his performance in leading the reconnaissance regiment.

"Where is the Cavalry Battalion now?" Yi Feng asked again. The Cavalry Battalion is a sharp knife and sharp blade. At critical moments, they naturally have to be used.

"Go back to the Grand Commander. More than 2,000 cavalrymen in the cavalry camp are now twenty miles behind the Tongluo people. The people we sent were walking directly along the foot of the river valley. Now these Tongluo people are all thinking about breaking through the ice castle, and they are a little prepared for the back. Our scouts can easily pass directly from the side and do not need to take a long way."

Yi Feng stood up and walked around repeatedly, thinking and improving his plan in his mind. After a while, he turned to Su Zhi and asked, "May I ask Shi Jin. How many elite cavalry can be assembled tonight to launch a night attack?"

Su Zhi replied: "Now there are 20,000 soldiers gathered here in the five major tribes of my Xi tribe!"

"How many elite cavalry are there?" Yi Feng did not buy Su Zhi's account. The so-called 20,000 Xi soldiers were not real. At most, those who were young and strong herders needed more elite cavalry. The ones that matched this specification were the personal guards and guards of the leaders of the five major tribes.

Su Zhi smiled a little embarrassedly, then turned to discuss with the leaders of the other four tribes for a while, and finally reported a number: "Three thousand!"

Yi Feng was a little surprised at this number, not because he felt that there was less, but because he felt that there were a little more. But thinking about it, these three thousand are the guards of the leaders of the five tribes, and they may even count the personal soldiers of the leaders below. Although the Xi warriors gathered here at the moment are not all the soldiers of the Xi tribe, the fastest arrival of the leaders of each tribe and their servants. Therefore, the three thousand cavalry is still a fact.

Yi Feng smiled at Su Zhi and others, "Very good."

Wei Zheng, the consultant, also told Yi Feng at this time: "The five thousand new recruits we recruited from the five tribes have been fully recruited, and even because there were too many registrations, the number of people recruited in the end was slightly more than that."

“How many more?”

"Three thousand!" Wei Zheng smiled at the leaders of the Xi tribe with a little embarrassed. Originally, it was agreed that the Huaihuang Army would recruit 5,000 new recruits to enrich the Huaihuang Army, but now in just a few days, with the generous treatment conditions, the Huaihuang Army easily recruited a total of 8,000 of the most powerful young men from the five tribes. After all, this is a matter of poaching people, but Su Zhi and others didn't care much. It is also a way out for young people to be mercenaries for the Huaihuang Army. In the future, these mercenaries might return and the combat power of the warriors of their clan to a higher level. Moreover, there have been so many Xi warriors added to the Huaihuang Army at once, which is also a good way for the Xi tribe to strengthen the Huaihuang Army.

Yi Feng originally wanted to recruit five thousand, but now he recruited eight thousand at once. He thought for a while, "Since you recruited them, you will accept them. The young people of the Xi tribe are all warriors on horseback. Well, they will be temporarily organized into three battalions according to the army. Let them and the other three thousand Xi tribe warriors go out tonight to attack Tongluo Camp." The newly recruited eight thousand Xi soldiers will be their first practical class tonight. Even if they can survive, even if they pass the first level assessment and die in battle, they will naturally be eliminated. This is the most cruel law of the battlefield, survival of the fittest, and actual combat training.

In the snow and ice by the Ruoluo River, Dahe Duluo, who was in a mess, was in a bad mood. He sighed and everything was in chaos.

After sighing for a while, he forced himself to ask Xu Deyan: "Is there any news about my mother?"

"Mohefu, since Ah's departure south, there has not been any news yet. I don't know if she has seen Yi Feng or moved to reinforcements."

Dahe Duluo, the leader of the Khitan Hebian tribe, sighed again, "I regret not not following Mr. Xu's advice, and I shouldn't be able to help but fight this battle with the Tielite people. Damn, who could have expected that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind. The damn Pugu tribe had already secretly colluded with the Bayegu people. If it weren't for the last time listening to Mr. Xu's words, breaking through in time and cutting off his arm, I'm afraid that not only the Hebian tribe suffered a great loss this time. Even the rest of the Khitan tribes would suffer a great loss. Mr. Xu, you are resourceful, tell me what should we do now?"

Xu Deyan rubbed his cold hands and pondered: "Only for the moment, I think we should avoid the edge for the time being. Let's retreat east along the Ruoluo River. We gather the defeated troops all the way and contact the various Khitan tribes. Then, retreat south along the Raole River, and retreat to the territory of the Xi tribe. If the Wuzhou army goes north to rescue, we can also meet with them in time."

"What if Yi Feng didn't go north?" said Dahe Duluo.

"Then we retreat to Yingzhou in western Liaoning and retreat to the Sui territory. The Tieler people would definitely not dare to chase so far, let alone chase down Yingzhou directly!"

Duluo sighed, and his whole body has grown a lot these days. "I hope Yi Feng can send troops to the north. I heard that the Tongluo tribe has also sent troops this time. They directly killed Xi. I am afraid that Yi Feng will go north to rescue him. What if he encounters the Tongluo people? I heard that the Tongluo people dispatched ten thousand cavalry this time."

"Don't think about it all, the Wuzhou army may not meet the Tongluo cavalry."

"I hope everything is as Mr. Xu said." Dahe Duluo can only hope that Yi Feng will send troops north now. And he will not encounter Tongluo cavalry along the way. Otherwise, he would not think that the Wuzhou army could defeat tens of thousands of Tongluo cavalry. "Okay, I have enough rest, let's hurry up and go on the road. As Mr. Xu said, let's retreat east first, then south. Damn, sooner or later we have to settle the accounts with Tiel people and leave!"

As night falls, darkness covers the fields.

In the ice castle, Yi Feng summoned the generals and schools of the battalions, including four cavalry battalions that had just been hurriedly organized. One of the cavalry battalions was temporarily assembled by the personal guards of the five leaders of the Xi tribe, and the other three cavalry battalions were organized by the young Xi tribe who had just recruited them in the past few days, had not even equipped with armor and equipment, and had not even received the training of the new recruits of the Huaihuang Army and had no knowledge of the military regulations.

There are 11,000 people in the four temporary cavalry battalions. Although only the temporary second cavalry battalion is composed of personal soldiers and has good combat power, at least the recruits from the other three battalions are also young and strong among the Xi tribe. At least everyone has a preliminary selection during recruitment. All the selected ones are those who can drive horses and can draw bows and are young and strong. They even have horses themselves, and they also have bows and swords themselves. The Huaihuang Army only needs to give them a organization, and they don’t even need to withdraw some equipment and can immediately go to the battlefield.

Faced with all officers at or above the team level, Yi Feng bluntly stated that he would issue military orders.

"The Tongluo people have been making progress these days. Now they have attacked the city, and only the last city moat is left. Now they are in awesome. The general decided that we will take the initiative to go out of the city tonight to attack the Tongluo people. The four cavalry battalions are responsible for the raid mission, and the crossbowmen are responsible for defending the city and pressing the formation."

The field was quiet for a while.

Yi Feng continued at this time: "This is your chance to take revenge and your chance to make money. For every killing of a Tongluo soldier, you will be rewarded with 5,000 yuan. Except for half of the spoils you get, the rest belong to him."

Su Zhi strode forward, "I am willing to command the night attack army!"

"Okay!" Yi Feng smiled and stepped forward, "Don't worry, you are not fighting alone."

Su Zhi understood Yi Feng's meaning. There was an ice castle behind them, and they could retreat to the rear of the pass at any time. The most important point was that in addition to their Xi cavalry tonight, there were also more elite Wuzhou cavalry attacking from behind the Tongluo people at any time and gave them a fatal blow.

After the military order was conveyed, the generals and schools retreated and prepared.

Wei Zheng told Yi Feng: "Is it really necessary to fight this battle? I mean, even if you train troops, you don't have to dispatch so many people. At this scale, there will definitely be a lot of casualties. Be safer, and these casualties should be avoided."

"The sword cannot be sharpened, and the soldiers cannot be trained." Yi Feng shook his head, "Of course we can not fight this battle and continue to trap the Tongluo people, and we can win the final victory at the smallest price. But this will not be our last battle. There will be more and more battles to fight in the future. The sword edge will be sharpened. Now we have the opportunity to use the Tongluo people to temper our soldiers. Although it will cost some casualties, it is worth it. It is always better to wait until the future, let them face a worse situation. We should not spoil their children, and we should not spoil their soldiers, and we should not be spoiled by the soldiers."

Wei Zheng smiled: "The general is justified, so the general is the commander of the entire army and can establish this army with ever-changing combat power in a short period of time. However, Wei Zheng, I, can only serve as the general's counselor to join the army and make up for the general's shortcomings."

"Tonight, the cavalry will be sent to attack at night, but the cavalry will definitely not be able to defeat the Tongluo people directly. After all, the Tongluo people still have 8,000 troops. If they really want to fight beasts, they will still have to struggle for a while. Tomorrow, they will send infantry battalions and chariot battalions to fight together to let them fight together and to temper them. We cannot train cavalry and crossbowmen at that time, but we will abandon infantry and chariot soldiers. All types of troops are very important. If any branch is weak, it will become a shortcoming of our army. This situation should be avoided as much as possible."

"Yes, I will do my best to arrange it." Wei Zheng nodded.

In the ice tower in the ice castle city, the brothers of the chariot camp of Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin, who were the same as the capital, were still on standby here. They had been there for several days, and they could only watch the crossbowmen and the Tongluo people fighting back and forth, but they had no chance to play at all. This situation was really a torment for Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin who wanted to go to the battlefield to prove themselves.

"My big knife is already hungry!"

The Great Sword of Killing Horses had been sharpened so sharp that even his heavy infantry armor was polished and used as a mirror. After wiping all the equipment on his body, Yuchi Gong's last little patience was finally polished. The Great Sword that was horizontal on his knees was extremely sharp, but he didn't even have half the first level skill under the sword.

Cheng Yaojin held his spear and leaned against the side, and sighed: "My big spear is already hungry and thirsty!"

"My crossbow machine is also thirsty!" On the other side, several crossbowmen also laughed.

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, and Cheng Mingzhen hugged from outside the tower, "Hey, guess what I just saw?"

"What, can't I see the beautiful Xi woman?" Cheng Yaojin asked casually.

"What are the good things about the Xi women?" Cheng Mingzhen replied, "I just went out to pee and saw that the recruit camp was gathering. There were so many people, probably tens of thousands."

"I heard that 8,000 Xi people recruited this time. Isn't it necessary to have a sudden inspection in the middle of the night?" said a spearman. He remembered the various trainings he had experienced in the recruit camp before. One of the most impressive ones was that he often had sudden inspections in the middle of the night, and what kind of inspections and trainings were done, and it was a torment to death.

"It's not like, I think they gathered before the war, as if they were going to fight."

After a while, many people heard the exact news again. Three newly-organized Xi people's new cavalry battalions and a cavalry battalion composed of the leaders of various Xi tribes. The fourth battalion was about to leave the city tonight to attack the Tongluo people at night. Upon hearing this news, Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin and others couldn't help but sigh again. Why did even the newly recruited recruits from the Xi tribe go to the battlefield? On the contrary, they were thrown away for so many days and didn't have any movement.

"My big sword is already hungry and thirsty!" Yuchi Gong sighed.
Chapter completed!
