Wanyan Loushi did not go south immediately. He waited for two more days. After 20,000 Han troops arrived in Fushi County, he ordered Wanyan Poqi to lead 8,000 cavalry to station in Fushi County. He himself led 40,000 troops south to Fuzhou and attacked deeply in the direction of Guanzhong.

Two days later, the Jin soldiers occupied Luojiao County, Fuzhou Prefecture, without bloodshed, and seized 30,000 stones of grain in the official warehouse, which made Wanyan Loushi overjoyed. With this batch of grain as a backing, he had more confidence. He ordered the Han general Zhang Feng to lead 10,000 Han troops to transport grain, and he led 30,000 troops to continue south and lead the troops to Fangzhou.

Fangzhou is the Beida Courtyard of Guanzhong. Once Fangzhou is occupied, it is equivalent to breaking into the outer courtyard of Guanzhong. Going south to the north gate of Guanzhong, Yaozhou, which will pose a direct threat to Guanzhong.

But just two days after Wanyan Loushi went south with a hundred times confidence, another strong blizzard swept across Shaanxi Road from north to south. This was the late winter snow in northern Shaanxi. The previous heavy snow was an accident, and this heavy snow meant that the cold winter on Shaanxi Road was coming.

It is about 400 miles away from Luojiao County in northern Fuzhou to the central county in northern Fangzhou. It is located in the gully area of ​​the Loess Plateau in Weibei. The mountains are high and the slopes are steep. The official road is built on the hillside, which is the famous Qin straight road. On one side is the vast Huanglong mountain range, on the other side is the 100-meter deep valley, and below is the Luoshui Grand Canyon. There is no family within a radius of 300 miles, and there is no small town or county town.

If it is other seasons, the army can march south quickly along the flat Qin straight road, and can walk out of the Luoshui Grand Canyon and arrive in central county within three days, but now it is a deadly winter.

Wanyan Loushi did not consider the impact of the season on the march. After two days of marching, he found that the army could no longer continue to move south. The large avalanche blocked the straight road. The avalanche stretched for more than 30 miles, and the thickest part of the snow was five feet deep. The person's neck could not move forward at all, but it seemed that it was not so easy to turn around and go back. A violent blizzard swept over, blocking the 30,000 Jin army on a mountain road about two hundred miles south of Luojiao County.

In a lonely tent on the mountain road, Wanyan Lou Shi slapped the table and scolded the adviser Chen Guangzhao, "Don't tell me what kind of bullshit you are. You don't even know that the road is blocked with heavy snow. Do you still have the nerve to call yourself a local? If my army can't get out of the mountain road, I will be the first to take you to sacrifice the flag!"

Chen Guangzhao lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. After a while, he whispered: "Weizhi did not deceive the general. Although the mountain roads would have snow, they had never been impossible to pass. At most, they would walk on the snow and marched a little slower."

"Fuck! Am I blind and can't understand the snow?"

"This is not what Beizhi means. Beizhi means that this severe snow accumulation is caused by an avalanche, and there will generally be no avalanche unless it is caused by artificial intention."

Wanyan Loushi's eyes suddenly shrank, "What do you mean is that the Song army deliberately triggered an avalanche and blocked our way south?"

"Actually, I want to say that the Song army deliberately lured the enemy into the depths. Even if Li Yanqing evacuated Luojiao County, he would not be able to leave 30,000 stones of grain for us. He would rather distribute the grain to the people in the city. He obviously left it to us on purpose so that we had no worries about food and continued to move south."

"Hmph! What's your name? You Han people have a saying, "Her thoughts of hindsight," they are talking about people like you. Why didn't you say that at that time? Now you think of everything, I'll go! Get out of here!"

Chen Guangzhao was so scared that he ran away with his head in his arms. Wanyan Loushi was upset. He walked to the door of the tent and looked at the howling cold wind outside, covered with heavy snow. He saw the white area in front of him, and he could not see anything more than ten steps away. At this time, you must not march, as you will easily fall and fall into deep ditches.

Wanyan Loushi sighed and had to wait until the snow stopped before slowly withdrawing his troops.

………

Luojiao County is the capital of Fuzhou Prefecture and is also the second largest city in northern Shaanxi after Fushi County. The city is about 30 miles in circumference and has a population of nearly 200,000. Unlike the solid walls and clear fields of Yan'an Prefecture, Fuzhou basically has no defensive fortifications. Except for the Song army that once temporarily stationed here, there was no military signs at all. The people's lives were also very stable and peaceful, and there was no atmosphere of war at all.

After the Jin soldiers occupied Luojiao County, they did not stay in Luojiao County for too long. They only rested for a day. The army continued to move south, leaving only the Han general Zhang Feng to lead 10,000 Han troops to station in Luojiao County, responsible for providing logistical support to the Jin soldiers who went to Fangzhou.

The Han army was the Song army after surrendering to the Jin army. The military discipline was generally poor. In just one day, almost all the shops in Luojiao County were looted again by the Han army. Just the day before, the Jin army had already looted the whole city, murdered and set fire, and raped the ** girl.

After the Jin soldiers headed south, Zhang Feng once again indulged the soldiers to loot the whole city. When the money in the city was not enough to satisfy the desires of the Han soldiers, they turned their desires to the women. For a moment, wailing and crying sounded, and groups of Han soldiers plundered the property from house to house, causing the peaceful and peaceful Luojiao County to fall into hell.

The strong blizzard finally calmed the Han soldiers stationed in Luojiao County. Ten thousand soldiers hid in the barracks and drank and gambling. Hundreds of young women were plundered to the barracks for pleasure. Although many soldiers with red eyes lost money wanted to try their luck in the houses to see if they could find the hidden gold and silver, but the weather was too bad and the road could not be seen more than a dozen steps away. They just cursed and cursed and vented their anger on the captured women.

The cold wind whistled over the county town, and the heavy snow fell like trowels. The sky and the earth were covered with dust, and the road could not be seen within a dozen steps. Near the north gate of the county town, there was an abandoned city god temple, with weeds and ruins everywhere. It was usually a place where wild foxes and jackdaws gathered, but at this time, dozens of black shadows gathered from all directions.

Yan Qing stood in front of the dilapidated gate and stared at dozens of subordinates with a serious expression. A total of forty people were all here. These were the forty elite soldiers who remained in the city when the Song army retreated. They were all skilled in martial arts and had rich combat experience.

The forty soldiers did not gather together, but hid in the county town in various identities. The agreed time was the first update tonight.

"I have passed the rule, and all the brothers are here!" A general clasped his fists to Yan Qing and said.

Yan Qing nodded and said to the forty soldiers: "The Jin soldiers are brutal and missed the county. I believe that each of us is very angry. Now is the time for us to avenge them. Our mission is to seize the North City Gate and let the troops outside the city enter the city. Tonight will be a bloody battle. Let the blood of the enemy wash away the hatred in our hearts!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with hatred. They had witnessed too many tragedies in the past two days, but the responsibility of the soldiers made them suppress hatred in their hearts. Soon, they were about to usher in a moment of revenge.

Yan Qing quickly walked into the hall, took a few soldiers to dig out the soil layer in the hall, dug out three large wooden boxes from it, opened the box cover, and there were forty sets of armor and weapons. The soldiers stepped forward one after another, put on their own armor, and soon formed a formation in the hall. At this time, the soldiers who had replaced the armor were suddenly full of murderous aura. Although there were only forty people, the murderous aura seemed to exceed hundreds.

"It's a blizzard outside. To prevent accidental injury, we need to set up a password. The password is just four words: breaking the city and killing the enemy. Have you remembered it?"

"Break the city and kill the enemy!" Forty people roared in unison, frightening the dozens of crows perched on the roof.

Yan Qing waved his hand and led forty people into the vast world of wind and snow.

The 20,000 troops led by Li Yanqing did not retreat south to Guanzhong, but retreated to Danzhou. When the main force of the Jin army was trapped and headed south, Li Yanqing immediately led 20,000 troops to pounce on Luojiao County.

According to the time he told Yan Qing that they would attack Beicheng at two updates tonight, and Yan Qing led the elite troops to join forces inside and outside to capture the Beicheng Gate.

At this time, the 20,000 soldiers led by Li Yanqing had arrived outside the northern city of Luojiao County. The army was temporarily hiding in a dense pine forest. There was no wind in the pine forest and it was not so cold. The 20,000 soldiers were wrapped in old sheepskins and squeezed together and shivered.

Li Yanqing stood by the woods and watched the wind and snow outside. They were only one mile away from the county town, but they could no longer see the city a mile away. Before, Li Yanqing had sent more than 20 scouts to the city to investigate the situation.

"How much time is left?" Li Yanqing turned around and asked.

"It's less than a quarter of an hour!"

A quarter of an hour is half an hour for later generations. Judging from the time, it was time for Yan Qing to take action in the city. Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "The whole army gathers together and prepares for battle!"
