Chapter 677: Snowstorm and Cold Blade (29)

After a day of fierce fighting, the fluffy snow gradually became hardened by the cold wind, and no new snow fell from the sky. The two sides retreated and licked their wounds. The vast space between the two sides On the battlefield, the white snow had already been dyed red with blood. The heavy horse hooves trampled on it, causing the snow below to stir up. Between the red and white, countless human and horse corpses fell dead in the middle. ;

In a day of fierce fighting, the palace guards fell nearly 3,000 people, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army was not at ease. The death and injury of nearly 2,000 people also made Gao Yuan extremely distressed. He had been constantly gathering, tiring the enemy, and the continuous attacks. The traps were all laid out to weaken the palace guards' combat effectiveness, but even so, the battle loss ratio between the two sides was still close to one to one. By now, both sides are exhausted. The Palace Guards still have more than a thousand people left, while the Zhengdong Army has a slight advantage in strength and only has more than 2,000 people left. According to this casualty ratio, even if they are finally wiped out. With the palace guards gone, there were not many cavalry left by Gao Yuan.

Looking up at the sky, the wind became more and more biting. After this night, I am afraid that the ground under my feet will become hard. At that time, the advantage of the palace guards will be restored again.

No matter Gao Yuan or Yan Qi, no one thought about giving up at this time. The two of them were like killing wild beasts with red eyes, and they would never give up until the other party was put to death. Gao Yuan was determined to eat this palace guard because he knew that by destroying one of Donghu's ace troops so easily, he was afraid that he would never be able to seize such an opportunity again. Thirty thousand palace guards could eat If he loses five thousand people, it will be much easier in the future. He never wants them to have a chance to go back alive. However, Yan Qi is grasping this battle like a life-saving straw. If he can defeat Gao Yuan, kill him. Die or capture him alive. Then, in the battle on the Hetao Plain, he might still be able to survive. Even if Qutu Argen's entire army was destroyed, as long as he could kill Gao Yuan, then everything would be worth it. Without Gao Yuan's Eastern Expedition Army, it would be inevitable It will become a dish of loose sand.

Yan Qi vigorously brushed away the ice chips, fallen snow, mud and blood on his horse. The war horse also extended its head to Yan Qi's face affectionately, snorted, and stretched out its long tongue to lick Yan Qi's rough face. Yan Qi would naturally be attacked by the soldiers of the Eastern Conquest Army during the battle. This horse The war horse that had been following him for many years had a sympathetic connection with him, and had suffered many sword blows for him. His body was covered with fine wounds, and he could see the flesh and blood rolling around everywhere. Yan Qi's heart ached so much that he took out the best wound medicine from his arms and poured it on the horse, but the wounds were too long. That bit of medicine is just a drop in the bucket.

He took out a handful of soybeans from the trousers beside his feet and handed them to the horse's mouth. The horse wolfed down the beans. Yan Qi turned his head and looked in the direction of the Zhengdong Army. At this time, both sides were exhausted, even though they were only a mile or two apart. But neither of them has the energy to launch an attack at this time. Recovery is what both sides are trying to do at this time.

Whoever regains his strength first will be the first to launch an attack, and this is what Yan Qi is most worried about. Although his subordinates' anger and anger have been aroused again because of the bloody fighting on this day, this cannot last long. And once the fatigue accumulated over the past few days breaks out, it will be out of control. Since Gao Yuan chose this place as the battlefield, he must have made careful arrangements. The opponent has plenty of time to prepare, and naturally the logistics are not worried.

In this aspect, oneself cannot be compared with the other party in any way.

"General!" Someone called softly from beside him. Yan Qi turned around and saw Wusulatan, a leader among the younger generation of Wusu.

"What's wrong?" Yan Qi took out another handful of beans and handed it to the horse's mouth.

"Tonight is the best time for us to get rid of them. Our war horses have recovered most of their strength. We can give it a try. If we continue to struggle, our entire army will be destroyed here." Ursula said frankly.

"Get rid of them?" Yan Qi shook his head and said: "Do you think our opponent will let us get away? How many days can our food last? Even if we temporarily get rid of the opponent's pursuit, as long as they fall behind us, we can still Grow wings and fly to the sky?"

"You can always give it a try, General. Instead of destroying the entire army here, why not try it? If you don't do it, how will you know if it doesn't work? General, I'm not afraid of death. I don't want these Donghu athletes to die in such an unworthy manner." , in another place, one of the warriors here might be able to defeat ten of them."

"I know you are not afraid of death!" Yan Qi sighed: "But if we give birth to such thoughts as you, we will die faster and be worthless. Ursulatan, there are only two ways to go in this battle right now. But, either we defeat Gao Yuan or we are destroyed here, there is no third way.”

Ursulatan was silent for a while, "Fortunately, it stopped snowing. After this night passes, the snow on the ground will freeze solid, and we may still have some chance of victory."

Yan Qihe said, "We can think of it, but the other party can't think of it? And today's night is going to be very difficult. The wind is getting colder and colder. We have lost very little of our big tent. How can everyone survive this night?" One night? It’s so cold that I can’t even walk. How can I fight tomorrow?”

Ursulatan was surprised, "General, what do you want?"

"Go and eat. After two hours, we will launch a full-scale attack on our opponents. By that time, the ground will be almost frozen, and the impact on us will be reduced. Although our opponents have more soldiers than us, their combat power is At least it can be equal. Look over there, the fire is blazing, and we can hear the laughter and laughter from so far away. They must have thought that we would use this night to regain our energy and wait for the ground to completely freeze. They definitely didn't expect us to risk attacking. This is our only chance." Yan Qi looked calm, "Whether we live or die, let's see what happens!"

All the surviving palace guards knew Yan Qi's decision next. For them, they felt a sense of relief. Whether they were dead or alive, it depends on this final battle, with the scimitar in their hands speaking. , the whole camp became abnormally silent. Every palace guard soldier filled his stomach and began to silently arrange his weapons and groom his horses. Their armor had been completely discarded during the day's battle. Now, they were only wearing a leather jacket.

At midnight, following an order, all the palace guards jumped up from the ground, led their horses, and gathered in front of Yan Qi.

"Wrap the horse's hoof, the man holds the wood in his mouth, and the horse holds it in his mouth." Yan Qi said in a deep voice.

After a while of busy work, all the cavalry got on their horses. Yan Qi turned around and looked into the distance. There was still a faint light of fire there, but the previous noise was no longer there, and it seemed particularly quiet.

"Let's go!" The horse's belly was clamped with both legs, and the war horse ran forward silently. The horse's hoof sank slightly. Although it was still not frozen, the impact on the galloping horse was already very small.

Just when Yan Qi launched a sneak attack towards the cavalry of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, another cavalry group of several hundred people was rushing anxiously. Tao Jiawang kept pushing the cavalry who had just gathered together and shouted: "Brothers, in the first battle, we didn't get much meat to eat. Now a good opportunity is in front of everyone. The governor is fighting with the Donghu Palace guards. If you don't want to help the governor clean up the battlefield, but want to go If you want to help the governor kill the enemy, then work harder, move forward, until you rush into the battlefield, kill all the Donghu barbarians, and let these palace guards who claim to be invincible in the world go to hell!"

Tao Jiawang's words made these soldiers even more energetic. As the soldiers around the general, they were the best in the army, and their abilities were much stronger than those of ordinary soldiers. However, in this battle, they did not go into battle without Many, this is a problem that has suppressed these guys. Now they have a chance to vent, and they are facing off against the palace guards. Naturally, they are even more excited. Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is second, and he is known as the best in the world. The pleasure is naturally much more satisfying than killing a bunch of garbage.

Two thousand Donghu cavalry divided into three groups and rushed towards the camp of the Eastern Expedition Army. At this time, they were only a few miles away from the opponent's retreat camp. Thousands of war horses, even if they were covered with horseshoes, could no longer hide it. With his opponent shouting, Yan Qi raised his scimitar high with his left hand, took the lead, suddenly increased his speed, and rushed forward.

In the camp of the Eastern Conquest Army, the fire was still there and there were many tents, but it was deathly silent. There was no one in the camp. Until the palace guards rushed into the camp and trampled over the tents, they still did not find a living creature. .

Yan Qi's face turned pale. The opponent had already guessed his intention. It was only at this moment that he truly understood why Gao Yuan had never lost a battle against Dong Hu. What he thought and thought was completely within the opponent's expectations. How can we fight this battle?

There was sudden chaos behind them, and through the firelight in the camp, Yan Qi saw red fire clouds. The Zhengdong Army actually attacked him from behind.

"Turn around and fight to the death!" Yan Qi almost said these words through his teeth.

The Donghu Brigade had just turned around. From the boundless darkness behind them, the rumble of horse hooves was heard again. Guards in black clothes arrived with guns. Then, the two threats shouted for death again. Gongsun Yi, Luo Lei's two men came from both wings.

A sharp spear composed of Gao Yuan, He Lanyan, Shangguan Hong, Guo Laowang, Yang Dasha and other top-notch combatants penetrated deeply from the tail into the heart of the palace guards. These few people randomly pulled out one , are all top masters, and when combined together, they are even more powerful. With them in front, the red guards following behind them are even more unstoppable. Soon the general guard was cut into two halves. (To be continued,!
