Chapter 1429: Huang An's plight

After stepping on it, the ankle completely sank into the snow. At some point, snow water had already soaked in the boot. When stepping on it, it was not only slippery and ineffective, but also cold and harsh.

Looking back at the war horse he was holding, he was struggling with difficulty. He roared in anger, but was immediately swept away by the cold wind.

"Rest for half an hour!" Looking at the same exhausted subordinate behind him, Huang An gave the order helplessly.

Surprise attack! Surprise attack is nothing! Huang An, like his soldiers, sat in the snow. The first thing he did was to take off his boots and pour out the water inside. The socks were soaked and wrinkled. His feet were soaked in the color of a dead fish. He pressed his hands and pressed a white nest.

They are cavalrymen and spend most of the time passing by on horseback, but the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the snow on the ground is getting thicker and thicker. Only when the horse can't hold on, they dismount and walk. Even so, they are like this. It is conceivable what the infantrymen who are following behind them will encounter at this time.

He took out a piece of steamed bun from his arms, tore off one and chewed it slowly. He put the bun in his arms for a while, and used his body temperature to make him softer, otherwise he would be as hard as a stone now.

He ate very slowly and carefully, for fear of losing even a little bit of slight crumbs. For many of Huang An's subordinates, they did not understand some of their general's actions at all. He was brave in fighting and was very good to soldiers. He did not shout and kill like ordinary generals. But he had a quirk, that is, he could not stand any behavior of wasting food even a little bit, even when the food was very sufficient. Because of this, there were quite a lot of soldiers who were beaten and kicked by him. Therefore, in his troops, all soldiers were extremely safe in food.

Only those who have followed Huang An for a long time know what the reason is. It is a scar on Huang An's resume that cannot be washed away, and it is also a common shame for the soldiers who followed Huang An to Hengduan Mountains.

They were once a soldier who had lost their souls, and it was precisely because of the food that made them lose their dignity. The lonely mountain peaks, the burning bonfires, and the aroma of porridge with meat on top of the fire floating all over the mountains and fields. This picture is a taboo in the hearts of many people.

Huang An was born in a noble family and was once a candidate for the Long Xiang Army. In the battle with the Ming people, if they performed well, they would officially join the Long Xiang Army after returning. However, it was precisely because of that battle that he not only completely lost that opportunity, but also lost his reputation.

He was sent to Hengduan Mountains as garbage, and then the main generals of Hengduan Mountains at that time were sent to the forefront as a suicide squad. Huang An threw his jar and fought to the death. When he came back, he was drunk and dreamed of death. This kind of life was finally turned around by him after Tuobayan became the main general of Hengduan Mountains.

Tuobayan did not look at him with another look, but regarded him as an ordinary general. This equal treatment alone made Huang An cry, and his brother Zhang Bai also encountered the same experience as him.

However, General Tuoba was transferred away during the war. In exchange for a general from Longxiang Army, Jie Bao. From the first military discussion, Jie Bao's look at Huang An made his heart become cold and cold again, just like the current weather.

That is disdain, contempt, naked and unconcealed look down upon.

His experience was hidden from the soldiers in the Hengduan Mountains, but he could not hide from Jie Bao from Long Xiangjun. You should know that Huang An and Zhang Bai became the negative textbook of Long Xiangjun at that time.

Everything that happened later also confirmed that Huang An felt that he was not aimless at the time. He was beaten back to his original form. In Jie Bao's eyes, he was the defeated general who had lost his pride and self-esteem.

If Huang An could still tolerate these, he would not accept that Jie Bao had completely overturned the combat plan against Kunling County that Tuobayan and them had formulated together.

Surprise attack! Jie Bao emphasized the surprise attack. He would unexpectedly appear in Kunling County to launch a sudden sneak attack on Zhou Jiyun. In Huang An's opinion, it was almost impossible. This was also the perception of Tuobayan at the beginning. After withdrawing from Hengduan Mountains, if they wanted to reach Kunling County, they needed to travel through two counties, with a journey of hundreds of miles. It was almost impossible to keep it completely confidential with such a long distance of movement. More importantly, the attack was launched in winter. The cold weather would be their natural obstacle. At that time, they had not predicted that such heavy snow would fall, but Tuobayan had definitely been undesirable. If the news leaked and Zhou Jiyun was prepared, the army that would welcome the sneak attack would be a disaster.

But these difficulties seemed to be within Jie Bao's consideration. Man conquered nature. This was what he warned Huang An that as long as he had a firm determination, all difficulties could be overcome. Moreover, he firmly believed that Zhou Jiyun's main force would inevitably be in the direction of Luzhou, and the heavy troops gathered in Luzhou were enough to make Zhou Jiyun unable to take care of himself. He also expected that an army like them would come across several counties.

Huang An was indeed a defeated general, but in recent years he has been honing on the battlefield. Whether it is courage or knowledge, it is no longer comparable to the young general who was just starting out. He put his army's victory on the enemy's unpreparedness, and Jie Bao's perception made him stunned.

Who are they facing? Zhou Jiyun, the famous general of the Great General, and Tuobayan, who has experienced many battles, was cautious when talking about this war, and did not dare to slack off at all. Now, in Jie Bao's eyes, it was a win that was easy to win. This made Huang An very pessimistic.

Unfortunately, he is not the main general, because his past experiences and what he said are not convincing, because no matter what he says, in Jie Bao's view, it is a manifestation of cowardice and a continuation of his past shame.

This time the vanguard of the attack fell on Huang An again. When Jie Bao told Huang An in front of countless generals that this was his magnanimous opportunity to wash away shame, Huang An almost fainted on the spot. Jie Bao tear his scars away in front of countless soldiers and showed them in front of everyone.

Huang An set out with anger. For him, nothing else is no longer important, only death.

After the initial anger, the cold weather and heavy snowfall in the sky finally calmed down slowly. He was not afraid of death, but he could not cause the entire army to die with him. However, what made him speechless was that this long journey across the two counties, Jie Bao did not even fully solve the necessary supply of the army along the way. The officials he sent to supply the army were either short of or serious in quality. The thick materials that Tuobayan had prepared at the time had been completely handed over to Jie Bao when he handed over, but from the actual situation, the other party did not take it seriously.

Take out a roll of cloth strip from the backpack on your horse, slowly wrap it around your feet, then put on wet socks, and put the boots that were soaked in snow and become hard again.

"General Huang, our food is going to be short of food." Jun Sima Qiu Yaxiong walked over and sat next to Huang An: "Originally we were saving and could reach the next supply point, but this heavy snow slowed down our itinerary for three days. If the snow continued, I really don't know what to do?"

"Tell your brothers about this situation and save some food." Huang Andao.

"I don't need to tell you, everyone knows it." Qiu Yaxiong sighed: "If this doesn't come, there will be another cold wind to freeze the snow a little harder. We can run faster and make up for the speed we had pulled down before."

Huang An smiled bitterly: "Don't think about such a good thing. We are walking south. It's better to ask for the cold wind than to ask for no snow in front. However, the scout has come back and told me that it is snowing in front, and it is at least within a range of fifty miles, and the snow will not be smaller than that here."

Qiu Yaxiong was speechless and said for a while: "General, do you know why there was a problem with our supply along the way? General Tuoba had already prepared everything."

"I'm wondering too!"

Qiu Yaxiong sneered: "The previous supply point, the county magistrate who prepared us for supplies had a few encounters with me in the past. He secretly told me that the things were originally prepared, but now they have become the private property of some people. Someone sent to contact the officials and sold some of them."

Huang An suddenly turned around and stared at Qiu Yaxiong.

"General, do I dare to talk nonsense about such a thing?" Qiu Yaxiong sneered. "Someone has been staying at the feet of the emperor before, probably because he was kept tightly. He didn't have the chance to fill his pockets, or he had no share in his pockets. Now that he has gained such a good opportunity, how could he let it go? Even if he only reaps a part of it, it would be enough to make him a rich man."

He punched the snow hard, and Huang An angrily cursed: "Bastard."

"It's indeed a bastard, but general, what if the next supply point is still insufficient? This is the last supply point. Going forward, you will enter Kunling County and prepare to take on the battle." Qiu Yanxiong said.

"If it's still a small amount of pounds, then grab it." Huang An stuffed the last bit of steamed bun in his hand into his mouth, grabbed a handful of snow and swallowed it, and said coldly: "When entering Kunling County, God knows what the situation is."

"I really have no choice but to fight with the war." Qiu Yaxiong said helplessly.
