The whimpering north wind was like the low roar of a wild dog on the wasteland. The north wind swept across the earth, sweeping the brown dead grass on the yellow earth into the dim sky. The sky was low, so depressing that it made people feel that you could touch the black dome with just one stretch of your hand.

The wind was as tight as a gust. After a moment, the heavy snow, which had just stopped for less than a meal, fluttered down again. Snowflakes like goose feathers were everywhere, as if the goose velvet pillow in the noble master's house had spread out the thread, spilling out all the fluff. Text/Text

It was late at night, and the weather was cold, and the wind and snow were blowing. The flags broke and the people and horses were frozen to death looked at each other.

The wind and snow are very strong, much heavier than expected. Not only is the snow heavy, but the weather is also abnormally cold. Generally speaking, it is not cold on snowy days, but it is snowy. But now, with the continuous fluttering heavy snow, the snow has already passed through the knees, but it still has no sign of stopping. Not only that, after nightfall, the weather suddenly drops a lot. The snow on the armor has turned into ice, and the beards on many soldiers’ faces are frozen together.

Heavy snow covered the path, and war horses fell down from time to time.

Woo woo, the strong wind whistled and tore a battle flag apart, and then the flagpole was also blown, and the broken flag was immediately swept by the wind and drifted into the vast night.

In order to hide, all the soldiers on the marching were covered with large white cloaks and walked forward quietly with pine oil torches.

"General, hundreds of brothers have already slipped and fell to death, and thousands of them have frozen. The brothers are hungry and cold. Should they stop marching temporarily, cook a few pots of hot soup and wait for the snow to get better before moving forward?" Next to the snow-covered road that was not painted, a general of the Xiliang cavalry said loudly to Ma Ning in front of the strong wind that was poured into his mouth.

When he raided Linjin, Ma Ning requested a battle in front of the emperor. Chen Kefu handed over the opportunity of the vanguard to the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, with 5,000 Xiliang Cavalry as the vanguard. Chen Kefu, He Ruohuailiang, Xiao Shilian and others were escorted by Chen Lei and Zhang Chuchen's 5,000 imperial guards and female troops in the central army, and Qi Zhongxing led 5,000 troops to accompany the rear army.

Since the early morning, the army has been walking for a day in the snow.

As the weather was so windy and snowy, all the way up, as Chen Kefu expected, the city gates were closed along the way, and the people in the city were all huddled into the city, and there were no soldiers patrolling outside. Even the soldiers on duty above the city shrank down to the arrow tower and cooked fire and drank.

However, the bad weather also caused great trouble to Chen Jun. Although they passed through the cities without any danger, the wind and snow were too strong and the temperature dropped sharply. By night, many soldiers were already injured, and even died of frozen food.

Ma Wu was originally under Chang Zhongxing's subordinate, General Hu Ben, and was higher than Ma Ning's official position. He was the highest among all the Western Liang soldiers. However, now he has changed his son Chen Chao, but he has to surrender to Ma Ning. He has always been a little unhappy. Seeing the snow is heavy, the brothers complained, and then they took the opportunity to come and talk to Ma Ning, and they wanted to see Ma Ning difficult to do. Whether Ma Ning continues to march or suspends the march, in Ma Wu's opinion, it can make Ma Wu difficult to do. Continue to move forward, then the brothers below will have bad views on Ma Ning. Stop the march, but undoubtedly disobeying the emperor's military orders.

Ma Ning turned his head and looked at the Xiliang cavalry who were gradually slowing down. The Xiliang cavalry were all iron men in the northwest. Although the snow was heavy, it really did not really make these fierce men in the northwest afraid.

"Distribute the imperial wine rewarded by Your Majesty. Each brother has two kilograms of imperial wine, and five kilograms of roasted beef and mutton. Stop the march and rest on site for half an hour to drink some wine and eat meat to keep warm. Don't drink much, and continue to march after half an hour. Tell the brothers that Fengyi City will be ahead for another two hours. As long as you attack Fengyi, you will not only have warm wine, but also take a hot bath! Your Majesty has an order to take Fengyi City and all the wealth in the city will be distributed to the soldiers!"

"roar!"

When the men of Xiliang who were already almost frozen were shrunk, they heard such a good thing, a shocking roar broke out in an instant. It seemed as if a group of sleepy lions suddenly woke up. The cavalry of Xiliang jumped off their horses excitedly and began to warm up and drink and eat meat, preparing to take down Fengyi City in one fell swoop.

The wind is tight and the snow is dancing.

Fengyi County is north of the Wei River and west of the Yellow River, and is the gateway to the east of Guanzhong.

The Wei River, Luo River, and the Yellow River, three major rivers cross the Fengyi City, and the Linjin Geng East to Fengyi is directly connected to the important channel directly from Hedong.

Guanzhong and Hedong have always been connected to each other, and they have been crossing the river through Linjin Pass and crossing the river into Hedong. Even Guanzhong and Hebei, western Liaoning, and Liaodong have basically gone to Linjin, Taiyuan, and then cross Jingxing to cross Taihang Mountain into Hebei.

However, since the Yuwen retreated from Taiyuan to Guanzhong, the Qin and Jin passage has been interrupted for a long time. Because Linjin Pass is at the forefront and lives in the two natural dangers of Linjin and Tongguan, Fengyi City is actually very safe.

To the north, along the Luoshui River, there are vast mountains and Gobi Deserts. To the east, there is the natural danger of the Yellow River, and Tongguan, and to the south, it is the capital Chang'an.

Fengyi, located north of the Wei River, is also one of the three most fertile counties in the Guanzhong Plain. The guardian here is one of Yu Wenji's confidants, Pei Qiantong, Duke of Ju and Guanglu Dafu. Pei Qiantong was also a descendant of the Guanlong noble family. He was a friend of Yu Wenhua and Chang'an in his early years. Later, Yu Wenhua and became an official, and Pei Qiantong also joined the Sui Dynasty with his family background.

After Yu Wen and became emperor, they handed over this important Fengyi County to Pei Qian'an to guard. Tonight, it snowed heavily, and the music and singing day and night, and the banquet continued to stop. Pei Qiantong was helpless and drank a few glasses of wine alone in the mansion, and then went back to the room to rest early.

Fengyi City, as the county seat of Fengyi County, is also very prosperous. Guanzhong has not seen any wars for decades, and is close to Chang'an, and it is also located on the Qin and Jin passage. Whether it is to go to Chang'an, Jinyang Taiyuan, or Luoyang, it is not far away. Therefore, this place has become a big city in Guanzhong for many years. When Yang Jian was in power, he built a different palace, Changchun Palace.

Since he was stationed in Fengyi, Pei Qiantong has been greedy for the luxury of Changchun Palace. In the name of guarding Changchun Palace, he led his ministers to live in Changchun Palace. As the original county seat, Fengyi City, he rarely spent a few days in the year in the city, and most of his time was in Changchun Palace outside Fengyi City.

At the fourth update, Ma Ning led 5,000 Xiliang vanguard cavalry to sneak ten miles outside Fengyi City. At this time, Fengyi City was in a deep sleep, and no one found that Chen Jun had arrived.

"General, I found a military ranch in Xu Jun in front of me, with about a hundred people stationed." The scout cavalry bought horses and reported that the men and horses were all shrouded in the white cloak and the reconnaissance cavalry were of the same color as the snow. If you don't pay attention to it, you can't see it at all.

Ma Ning rubbed his frozen numb face and smiled and said, "God helps me! I will be transferred to the cavalry camp and wipe out all the Xu Jun on the ranch within half an hour. No one will be allowed to leak. After annihilation of the enemy, untie all the herdsmen on the ranch and drive them to the north gate of Fengyi City. We detour the west gate to seize the city!"

However, for a moment, Xu Jun in the ranch was already annihilated in his sleep. There were more than a thousand war horses in the military ranch, which were transported from various ranches. After resting here, they were sent to the military camps such as Tongguan and Linjin. At this time, the horses were driven out of the horse shed and driven to the north gate of Fengyi by the soldiers.

Horses galloped and neighed in the snow, which soon attracted the attention of the defenders on the city.

"Where do you get so many war horses?"

"It may be that the horse shed in the horse farm in the north of the city was collapsed by snow." said a veteran.

Another defender shrank his neck and hugged the gun in his arms and whispered: "What should I do?"

"Send a brother to the city to inform Wang Sima of the ranch, and let other brothers go out and help rush back to the horse area. Maybe tomorrow, King Sima will reward the brothers with a few dollars to drink and eat." Wang Sima is the eldest brother who is a favorite concubine in Pei Qiantong. This man usually has a good relationship with many brothers in the army. The veteran saw the war horses running around and proposed to gather the war horses, which was also the intention of currying favor with Wang Sima.

After hearing the veteran's words, the other guards began to call people and deliver letters. The city that was originally silent suddenly became lively. The soldiers and young men on duty in each city began to rush towards the north gate, all wanting to catch a horse or two so that they would like to ask the king and king Sima to reward money tomorrow.

The noisy night diluted the chill of guarding a little. However, no one remembered whether the sudden war horse would be the enemy's trick.

It is because since Yang Jian took over the Northern Zhou regime, until now, Guanzhong has basically never seen any war in decades. Although in the past ten years, various parts of Guandong have fought to the death, especially in a few years, the peasant army, the Sui army, and the private army of those aristocratic families have fought for each other, and they have been fighting forever. But for the people in Guanzhong, the war seems to be a bit far away.

Guanzhong, which has not experienced war for 40 or 50 years, has not experienced the war, and the soldiers have not actually gone out of Guanzhong, nor have they ever fought with real swords and guns. Therefore, in this harsh snowy night, no one thought that there was so far away, and no one was wary in his heart, let alone that Chen Jun was already by their side.

One day and night, the wind and snow marched sharply. After more than 200 miles of journey, the five thousand Xiliang cavalry actually bypassed five cities and broke into the enemy's territory for more than two miles, until the city of Fengyi.

A group of 200-man suicide squads in white cloak had already dismounted, and bent over and sneaked carefully under the snow to the gate of Dongcheng. Although there was a small team of Xu Jun on duty on the top of the city, these people were talking about catching horses in the north of the city while surrounding a pile of charcoal fires, drinking a sip of wine to keep warm from time to time, and there was not even a risk.
