The blizzard that had been raging for several days finally curled its hideous face. The snow on the ground was more than a foot thicker, but the wind was still very strong, cutting the exposed skin like a knife. In the vast snow field, an army trekked hard. The newly falling snow had not frozen yet. As soon as the horse's hooves stepped on, it sank deeply, which made the war horses a little difficult. In order to save horsepower, all the Donghu cavalry got off their horses, leading the war horses, and struggling forward in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. ()

For three days, they had never had a good sleep. The abominable army of warriors wandered around them like ghosts. Every night, there were several harassment. Yan Qi was fully alert and even set up a trap to lure the other party to take the bait, but the other party was like a swimming fish, slipping and turning a blind eye. Once they ignored it and relaxed their vigilance, they would suddenly appear around, whistling, sweeping away some Donghu cavalry exposed outside, and then disappear.

In three days, Yan Qi lost more than a hundred men. Compared with the cavalry of 5,000 people, the losses of more than a hundred men were nothing, but it was a fatal blow to the morale of the soldiers.

Physical strength, mental strength, spirit, morale, this army has now fallen to its lowest point.

What's more serious is that the Donghu cavalry's advance speed has been minimized due to the wandering surroundings. In three days, they walked less than two hundred miles. At this speed, the food they brought would be far from being able to reach their destination.

Yan Qi urgently needed to find Gao Yuan’s main force and fight to the death with him. He already knew very well that since the opponent had already found him and Gao Yuan led the team himself, this battle was inevitable. Since it could not be escaped, it would be better to fight earlier than to fight later. The earlier he was, the better he would be.

But will the opponent make him do what he wants? They can delay the battle with him for a few more days, which will obviously be more beneficial to him.

Pulling his feet out of the snow, Yan Qi was helpless and anxious. Only by defeating his opponent could he escape safely. This was his only chance now. If he waited for Qu Tu Agu to defeat him and the Gaoyuan infantry also chased him, he would take it as if he had no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

"General!" A palace guard officer suddenly screamed. He pointed ahead, "It's them, they are here!"

Yan Qi was shocked all over and raised his head suddenly. At the end of his vision, he saw red clouds appearing layer by layer. After the red clouds spread out, they were spreading in completely opposite black. The number of people was about half of the red ones. And after them, teams of cavalry wearing navy blue uniforms appeared one by one in their vision.

Yan Qi took a deep breath and finally came, which was much better than the worst result he expected. Gao Yuan still looked too young. He thought that three days of harassment would make the Gong Weijun lose his combat effectiveness, so he wanted to end the hunting game as soon as possible, but the Gong Weijun was never prey. They were always hunters, and even if they fell to such a level now, they would not be bullied by people casually.

The number of the opponent's people was similar to theirs. Since the Eastern Army did not have any advantage in terms of military strength, Yan Qi would be sure to win if he rebelled.

"Take off all the loads, remove your armor, and only take your weapons to kill the enemy, and try to reduce your weight." Yan Qi took the lead, took off the armor on his body, carried only a bow, a pot of arrows, and a scimitar, led the horse, and walked forward slowly. Behind him, all the palace guards followed their leaders silently and pressed forward silently.

In the array of the Eastern Army, Shangguan Hong looked at the Gong Guards who remained calm even in this situation and couldn't help but say staggeringly: "It is said that the Donghu Palace Guards are invincible in the world. They are really famous and innocent soldiers. Until now, they can still maintain their fighting spirit. It is really commendable."

"Otherwise, why do you think the Donghu Royal Court can suppress all the Donghu tribes with 30,000 palace guards? " Gao Yuan smiled.

"Why don't you mess with them for two days before taking action?" He Lanyan asked in confusion beside Gao Yuan, "In another two days, I'm afraid they won't even have enough strength to climb on the horse."

"In two days, they will still be the same as they are now. Now, it is the most beneficial to us." Gao Yuan smiled and pointed to the fluffy snow in front of him, "Don't you understand?"

Helanyan frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "The snow has not frozen yet. Such a fluffy snow field limits the speed of the war horses. The Donghu Palace Guards have excellent equestrian skills. However, under such geographical conditions, I am afraid that they will not be much faster than the infantry's speed when riding horses."

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "That's it. In addition to the Red Guards, we can compete with them in terms of individual soldiers' quality, and everything else is really not as good as them. But under this condition, everyone is considered infantry riding horses. Ha, then everyone is almost at the same level. We have at least the physical advantage when dealing with a group of guys who haven't had a rest for several days."

"Apart from these, we have some other surprises waiting for them." Guo Lao Nian smiled gloomyly, "Since we are waiting for them here in advance, of course we are still having some small arrangements."

Opposite the Donghu Palace Guards had already turned over and removed all the loads. The pace of their war horses seemed much lighter. Their war horses were the best horses. Although they were stepping on the fluffy snow at this time, they could still run hard.

The Eastern Expedition Army still did not accelerate, but slowly destroyed the war horses and moved slightly forward. A large area of ​​sharp swords were raised high, with the blade shining.

"Accelerate!" The forward of the Gong Weijun shouted sternly, and was still five hundred steps away from the opponent. Although it was still a little far from the standard sprint, considering the fluffy snow under his feet, the distance required for the war horse to accelerate must be longer.

Four hundred steps, three hundred steps, the quality of Donghu Liangju was fully demonstrated at this moment. Even though the environment was so harsh, they still ran hard. Although the sprint speed was far from normal, it was still a little faster than ordinary war horses.

The Eastern Army was still moving forward slowly, without any intention of accelerating.

Yan Qi suddenly felt uneasy. This made no sense. Gao Yuan was a general of Yan who had been fighting with the Donghu for a long time. He was very familiar with the command art of cavalry. His subordinates were filled with a large number of Hun cavalry. These people were as familiar with the tactics of cavalry fighting as usual. If they didn't charge at this distance and environment, wouldn't it mean that they were slaughtered?

This is impossible.

It seemed to be confirming his idea. The Donghu cavalry charging ahead was already in chaos at the moment when his thought flashed. Black shadows suddenly popped up on the snow. The wooden stakes nailed together suddenly bounced from the snow, pressing down towards the charging cavalry like a wall. The Donghu cavalry in the front was immediately snapped off from the horse.

The wood cut down by the Eastern Expedition Army was nailed together by grass and buried under the snow. When a stone was placed on the middle section, it was like a seesaw. The heavy horse's hooves were trampled on this side of the seesaw. The huge impact force immediately made the other end rebound and slapped at these Donghu soldiers.

The front was in chaos, but the back was still charging forward. When they avoided the chaotic area in the front, they were still waiting for them by these weird seesaws. However, this time, in addition to these things, there were also tripping ropes and caltrops sprinkled.

As the Donghu soldiers fell down, Yan Qi's face became extremely difficult to see. At this time, the Eastern Army finally began to add restraint.

The first one to accelerate the charge was not the Red Guard in the front, but the Black Guard in the side. Their speed was not fast, but the entire formation was extremely close. People, horses and horses were almost squeezed together. After following Helanyan for these days, they had mastered the fire and pure fire.

"Arrow!" Yan Qi roared loudly.

The Gong Guard immediately pulled his bow and led the arrow. The sound of linoline sounded, and the sky was like a dark cloud suddenly covered the sky. The black-clothed guards almost shouted in the same voice. The spears in their hands pointed to the sky, shaking the spears in their hands desperately. A jingle sounded over their heads. A large number of arrows in this spear forest had almost no effect. Except for a few people who drilled into the team through the gaps, causing limited casualties.

The cavalry bow itself is soft, and the best armor equipped by the Eastern Expedition Army for the cavalry is difficult to kill with one arrow as long as it does not hit the key point. On the battlefield, you can often see some people wearing dozens of arrows on their bodies, but they are still fighting like a lively battle.

Arrows, after all, are not crossbows and do not have that strong force.

The two armies quickly approached, and the bows and arrows had lost their function. The Donghu people put away their riding bows and drew out the scimitar. However, at this time, the black guards drew the riding crossbow from the saddle.

The crossbow has a close range and cannot attack from a distance, but both sides have approached within dozens of steps at this time. It is the place where the crossbow is used. The sound of linoleum sounds again. The Donghu army, who had taken off their armor, has almost no defensive power, and their scimitars are not enough to block such crossbow arrows shot from close range.

As the Donghu people fell one after another, the Donghu's horse team became a little sparse, and the black guards chiseled in like a black axe.

Their speed was very slow, but the problem was that every attack they had, more than a dozen or even dozens of people, had spears at the same time. Without speed, they could not show their exquisite horse skills. The powerful Donghu Palace Guards were not much faster than the infantry at this time. Under such powerful stabbing, the Donghu people wailed and fell down their horses.

"Kill!" Gao Yuan raised his Mo Dao and roared.

"The Eastern Army will win thousands of victories!"
