(Thank you for finding a dream to feel your mood, ak880418, Thirteen Friends, Tong Yi, ehanzi, thank you for your unyielding support, thank you!)—

Lead clouds are low and wind and snow are rising.

The 300 vanguards of the Weihe tribe of the Tiel tribe went south to intercept the Tuli Khan fled east. They were arrogant and underestimated by the enemy, and they were ruthless and bloody slaughtering the Sogdian tribe while waiting for the arrival of the Tuli tribe. While enjoying the fruits of victory, they were raided by the Huaihuang cavalry of the Sui Dynasty. The 300 Weihe people were almost gone and they either surrendered or died. Until noon the next day after the battle, another vanguard cavalry of the Tiel tribe who was not far apart, plundering and attacking the Sogdians, while chasing a group of Sogdians.

The defeat of Wei He's vanguard was unexpectedly discovered. The frightened and angry Tieler cavalry immediately brought the news back. The vanguards of Tieler's various tribes began to gather together in fear and anger. Amid the shouts of several tribe leaders who wanted to capture all the Han people who killed Wei He's vanguards as slaves, the leaders of the Tieler's vanguards decided to leave half of the men and horses to continue to intercept the Tuli tribe here, while the rest of the men and horses jointly pursued the Han army, with blood and blood for teeth.

The Tielers, eager to take revenge, gathered about three thousand cavalry to pursue.

The three thousand Tieler people were fierce and chased them wildly.

The people rushed to a hundred miles northwest of Wusha Castle, the northwest corner of Huaihuang. Amid the flying snowflakes, a hot and unfrozen river appeared in front of them.

The panting cavalry stopped hesitantly and looked at the strange water vapor, "The heaven of Changsheng is above, what is that? In such a snowy day, the river is not frozen, and it is still steaming. The god of Changsheng is above, what's going on?"

"There are still water plants floating in the river, it's so green!"

The knowledgeable leader stood on the saddle and looked forward, and suddenly said loudly: "We have arrived at the River No Frozen, this is the River No Frozen. No Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen, no Frozen."

The team was in a turmoil. Many tribal warriors who grew up in the cold land of the desert north had never seen a river that did not freeze in winter before. Not to mention that the river that was not frozen in winter was not frozen, but also steaming. For these soldiers in the desert who had been with ice and snow for almost half a year, this was simply too fresh and amazing. Many people shouted: "What a magical river. Let's get off the horses, feed horses, eat some dry food, and see this magical river that is not frozen by the way." "Yes, yes, it's the first time I have seen such a magical river."

Several leaders of the troops frowned at the magical river, "The river is so wide. It seems that the water is very deep, and we are blocked."

"Isn't this water hot?"

"Swim over a bird." Someone immediately retorted, "There is nothing magical about this river that is not frozen. I have also seen a hot spring that is not frozen. This river that is not frozen is probably the same as that hot spring. But although the river water is warm and not frozen, have you ever thought about it? It is cold this day, but when you cross the river, you are not afraid of freezing. But when you get on the shore, people are all covered in water, and when you leave the river, they will freeze into ice lumps."

The leader's words left the other leaders speechless. He said that, right now, in this weather, you have to hold a stick in your hand when you release water and urinate. Once the water is released, it will be frozen and you have to knock it with a stick immediately. Although this is a joke, in this weather, the dripping water turns into ice without any exaggeration. In such weather, if you want to swim directly? That's asking for death. If you can't drown, you will be frozen to death as soon as you get ashore.

"How did those Han people cross the river? We followed the traces all the way, and their traces were all the way here." A leader pointed at the pretty obvious trace. In the snowy days, the Han cavalry fled with thousands of Sogdians, and they could not cover the traces at all. They pursued them tightly, and the snowflakes could not cover them.

"Maybe they have a boat." The knowledgeable leader looked at the river bank for a while and said. The boat was strange to many people in the northern desert, but the leader knew that the Han people could build ships, and it is said that the Han people in the extreme south lived by the rivers and the sea. They could build giant boats as tall as towering trees. A giant boat could carry thousands of people and horses, which was unimaginable.

"Then let's go around, it's impossible for the river to be frozen all the time, right?" said a white-bearded leader.

"I have heard of this river. It is indeed not that it has not been frozen, but this section of the river that does not freeze is forty miles away. When we go around the upper or lower reaches across the river, I am afraid that these Han people will run far away long ago." The leader frowned. The non-freeze section of this river is too long. The most important thing is that it has reached the vicinity of Huaihuang, and it is only one hundred miles away from the northernmost castle where the Huai Panic soldiers stationed as he has the information he has. After they have been around for a long time, they probably have entered the castle.

"That's going to go around, can we just withdraw like this?" asked the white beard.

"Then let's go around." said the leader.

At this time, the other leader looked at the soldiers of the tribes by the river. These soldiers were noisy at this time and even dismounted one after another, and could no longer be restrained. Or there was no one to restrain them. Those who served as middle and lower-level officers in the army were some prestigious people in various tribes, and each team was composed of people from each tribe. Many people had never seen the Bullfrozen River. They chased the Han people in the wind and snow for a long time, but were frozen and hungry. At this time, they encountered such a magical hot water river, of course they couldn't help but get off the horse while the leaders discussed, and rushed to the river to feel the magical charm of the hot water river, hold water to wash their faces, and drink.

There was even a guy who took the water and washed his face and moaned comfortably for a few times. He simply began to take off his clothes with a layer of ice slag on his surface, wiped his stiff face from the cold, and finally took off his nakedness and jumped into the river directly. The herdsmen in Mobei rarely take a bath in a year. Only in the warm summer every year, when they moved to the river to grazing, would they have the opportunity to take a bath happily. Now when they saw the steaming river water, they couldn't help but think of the river on the pasture in midsummer, and the pleasure in the water, and couldn't help it.

There was a leader who was like a chain reaction and could no longer control it. More and more people ran to the river, and many tough guys took off their clothes and jumped into the river. They even fought water wars in the river.

Looking at this look, the leader said helplessly: "Send the order to let everyone rest quickly. Only half an hour will they rest, and then set off immediately. They can go to the river to wash their faces, but they are forbidden to go down the river. Call the guys who jumped into the river, and each of them whipped ten whips."

The order was passed down, but no one paid attention to it. Although this group had 3,000 people, it came from more than a dozen Tiel tribes of all sizes, and the leaders of various tribes were all leaders. Although one of them was recommended as the main general, in fact, their own troops were still led by their own troops, and the main general was not very powerful, especially at this time. The team quickly became in a mess. Everyone took off their clothes and took off their armor and jumped into the river to take a hot bath. Some guys washed themselves while washing their war horses. Many leaders regarded this as invisible, and even turned around and ran to the shore and began to take off their clothes and go down the river. In their opinion, the Han people could not catch up. Since that was the case, they might as well wash and enjoy it here to relieve the cold air. Remove the mud and feel comfortable before going back.

On the long river bank, there are people calling horses neighing everywhere. There are soldiers with naked tiole soldiers everywhere. People leaving their armor and horses saddles. They are all enjoying this magical hot water.

"Teacher, these dog-good guys are so brave. They took off all their clothes and took a shower."

In the snow just above the temporary bathing ground by the river, several people were lying in the snow, looking at the scene in the distance, all of whom were amazed and shook their heads.

"I admire you, I'm convinced these dog gods."

Another person continued, "I'm even more convinced of the coach. Even though these guys were good enough, they would definitely not be able to help but go down the river to take a shower when they saw this. "

The coach of Huaihuang cavalry coach Li Jing. He has been conducting practical exercises this winter, so he has been sitting in Wusha Castle at the northwest end of Huaihuang. After Guo Xiaoke discovered that Tiel's vanguard was heading south, he immediately sent someone to report to Wusha Castle. When Li Jing received the news, he immediately mobilized the cavalry trained in Wusha Castle, and then quickly left the city to reinforce. Li Jing led the cavalry to Bufrozen River. Because there was geothermal heat at the bottom of the river, this forty-mile-long section of the river was not frozen for many years. After Wusha Castle built a city and fort, many ships were built here because of this special section of the river, which was usually used for fishing to improve life in the fort, and at critical moments, it could be built into a pontoon bridge. After Li Jing led his troops to the Bufrozen River, he immediately connected the boat into a pontoon bridge and crossed the river.

However, after crossing the river, Li Jing did not lead his troops to continue north, but divided the troops into two halves and arranged them to hide at both ends of the west bank of the river. He sent someone to contact Guo Xiaoke and asked him to cross the river through the floating bridge from then on.

As soon as Guo Xiaoke crossed the river in the morning, Tiele pursued his troops followed the traces in the afternoon. But by the time they arrived, Guo Xiaoke, who had crossed the river, had already demolished the floating bridge.

The Tiel cavalrymen who were blocked by the Unfreezing River did not know that Guo Xiaoke and others had crossed the river, but there was still a Han cavalry on the river, and the number was even higher than that of Guo Xiaoke's troops and this Tiel vanguard coalition.

"What is that?"

The Tiel soldier who was bathing in the river suddenly shouted!

"It seems like a ship."

“Many ships.”

"It's the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians."

More and more shouts sounded, and then a scramble, and many Tieler cavalry hurriedly swam up the shore.

A fleet of ships went downstream from the upstream, with about a hundred ships. The ship was not big and there were not many people carrying them. However, the ship was a strange thing to the Tieler people in Mobei, especially when I saw so many ships flowing downstream, I was even more shocked.

"Go ashore and prepare for battle." Several leaders rushed to the ashore and jumped on the war horses. They didn't even care about wearing clothes. They rode on war horses that had not yet been saddled, and ran around with spears to shout at their subordinates. "What are you afraid of? But they are just a few hundred people. They are not our opponents at all. Set up a formation and wait for them to come." Their shouts and calm appearance suppressed the commotion on the shore. Bai Huazi gave a panic young Tieler soldier who ran back desperately without even taking the clothes and weapons. "You are afraid of a bird, pick up your weapon and take your horse back to your queue."

Hundreds of boats were flowing downstream, getting closer and closer, and the shape of the boat became clearer and clearer.

Flags are on the boat, and they are frightened in the wind.

The sound of war drums sounded, and at the front bow, a soldier held a double hammer in his hand and beat the war drums on the cowhide drums with a thrilling sound.

After the initial panic, the Tielites finally climbed onto the shore and formed a formation.

"That's just a few people. Fuck!" After seeing the Han army's fleet thoroughly, the Tiel leaders breathed a sigh of relief. There were only a hundred small boats, and there were less than ten people on a boat. There were not a thousand people in total. What's so scary about them? And they were on the shore, could the Han people's ships still row to the shore? Thinking of this, they not only lost their initial panic, but even began to become a little arrogant, and secretly regretted the panic just now, and felt very embarrassed. Especially when they formed a formation and left the shore, the people who felt safe became more and more clamored. Many Tiel people were not even in a hurry to put on their clothes and armor. They slowly put on their clothes, while shouting loudly at the ships from far to near and the people above.

Anyway, the other party's ships could not drive to the shore. Even if they landed on the shore, they had 3,000 people, while the other party had only 1,000 people. And once the other party landed on the shore, they would be one thousand infantry, and they were three thousand cavalry. Who was afraid of whom? They would still wish these Han people would go ashore. As long as they dared to come up, they would behead all the southern barbarians who scared them, peeled their heads, and cramped.

"I bet these southern barbarians dare not go to the shore." A Tielexu, who was still naked, laughed and said to a fellow tribe next to him, "I bet on two Sogdian women."

"I won't bet with you. Everyone knows that Hangou doesn't have the courage to go ashore." That guy refused to be fooled.

In the snow in the distance, when he heard the sound of war drums, Li Jing stretched out his hand and waved behind him, and a fiery red flag was raised. It was extremely dazzling in the white snow.

As the flag rose, a cavalry regiment drove out.

Another flag was raised, and another cavalry regiment came out.

Flags were raised, fluttering in the wind, and cavalry regiments were flying out, forming arrays in the snow.

Shan Xiongxin was carrying a golden nail and jujube spear, galloping between the square arrays, shouting loudly.

"Prepare!"

The cavalrymen pulled out the cavalry swords in an orderly manner. A sound of long swords being sheathed out of the sheath sounded over the square formation, and a cold white light was shining.

The cavalry's spurs hit the horse's belly, and the horse began to start and then trotted.

Rows of raised sabers were as bright as snow, like a dazzling light belt, and snowflakes fell quietly on the helmets and cloaks, one after another.

"Forward, forward, forward, forward forever!"

Shan Xiongxin sang loudly, and the knights holding cavalry swords shouted together.

The war horse slowly accelerated and jogged forward.

"Go forward, move forward, shock the frontier!"

The horses were getting faster and faster, and the sound of hooves was heard, like countless heavy hammers falling on the cowhide drum surface, dull and exciting.

"Glory my king, rush!"

The war horses galloped, and the sound of hooves like thunder spread. The earth was shaking slightly. The black cavalry cluster was approaching quickly, like a landslide, as if it was a tsunami, and as if it was an avalanche.

Thousands of horses flipped over their hooves, trampling on countless snow powder mud, and flying all over the sky.

"Cabines, Han cavalry! A large group of Han cavalry!" A centurion of Tielle screamed in despair, his face as if dead, and his whole body was trembling. He could never have imagined why there was such a large number of Han cavalry on the river bank, with a total of more than 3,000. But they had no discovery before, and there was no warning at all. Especially when the Han fleet appeared, they not only did not make them alert, but instead made them even more careless.

Tieler was stunned and stunned.

Damn, did these Southern Barbarian cavalry fly down from the world?”

The Huaihuang cavalry cluster was indeed like flying, just like a huge dark cloud flying on the ground.

The black array head and the shining sabers were so clear.

"Held against the past!"

I don’t know which one yelled and pulled back many shocked Tiel people.

"Yes, rush over and hedge against them. No matter how many cavalrymen of the Southern Barbarians fight, they can't beat our Tiel Cavalry."

Riding is their pride, cavalry is their instinct, and they are confident that they can defeat the opponent's cavalry head-on.

The Huaihuang Cavalry approached the highway, and with every blink of an eye, it flew much closer.

The flags like clouds, the white sabers. The cavalry's hideous folded armor, the war horses with tiger patterns were painted. The horse's nostrils spewed out white vapor and condensed into frost and mist in the cold air. The soldiers and horses galloped forward, like a storm, sweeping in dense and neat formations, causing turbulence.

The wind is howling and snowflakes are rolling.

Suddenly, a trembling sound rang out in the Tieler formation: "The heaven of immortality is above, and to the south, there is also a Southern Barbarian cavalry!"

With this shout, countless Tieler people turned their heads and looked south. Sure enough, in the snow all over the sky, another large number of Han cavalry rushed towards them.

On the river east is the southern barbarians riding hundreds of ships downstream, and on the north is thousands of cavalry rushing towards them, and on the south is also a cavalry.

The formation, which was already very scattered, suddenly became chaotic. The soldiers of the Tiel tribes had no military discipline. They just shouted in despair: "We have been fooled, we are surrounded by the Southern Barbarians."

"Oh my God, run."

One after another, Tiel cavalry began to flee west regardless of the consequences.

"put!"

On the boat in the river, the officer Huaihuang with a sneer waved his arms down heavily, and the longbowmen on the boat began to shoot arrows. Tieler cavalry, who were fleeing in panic, were caught in arrows one by one, screaming and falling off the horse. The last bit of military morale that had originally wanted to barely form a formation disappeared. Under the rain of arrows, all Tieler people began to flee west desperately.

Shan Xiongxin immediately shouted loudly, "Don't let a wolf cub go, kill him!"

"Long live!" A huge shout was like a tsunami of landslide, and suddenly rushed straight to the clouds and nights, shaking the sky. The cavalry shouted wildly, and long live charge!

This is the horn of charge and the signal of attack.

"Long live!" A louder whistling sounded from the south, and Zhang Jinsheng led the cavalry clusters in the south to surging. (To be continued...)

Long live the killing:
Chapter completed!
