The wind is getting stronger and stronger; It's getting darker.
Between the whole heaven and the earth, there was only the wind blowing on the face like a knife, the dead grass that was blown all over the ground, and the sky that was so yellow that there was almost no difference between day and night.
Heavy snow is coming, maybe tonight, maybe in the next moment.
In such weather, even the herdsmen who have lived on the grassland for a long time will hide in thick tents, around the stove, drink hot milk wine, curse the bad weather, and close their homes.
However, between heaven and earth, there is a dark cloud moving on the grassland, firmly heading towards Jiuyuan City, which is the Han army of the northern expedition to the Xiongnu, the general of the Han Dynasty Gongsun Bai.
In the face of the raging cold wind, the footsteps of the army still did not stagnate, and moved forward steadily, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts even overshadowed the bitter wind.
Marching in such bad weather, even the Hun army growing on the grassland can't, but this big man is capable of riding, in addition to the men and horses are wearing thick cold cotton clothes, the most important thing is that they have an indomitable fighting spirit.
The general gave an order, even if there was a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of them, they would not hesitate to go forward one after another, not to mention the wind and snow Under the banner, Gongsun Bai was wearing a tiger skin, wearing a leather crown, and his body was as straight as a javelin, and his majestic body brought incomparable confidence and morale to the soldiers.
This is not only because of his strong fighting spirit and determination, but also because of his 93 force, the force can reach 93, and his physique is naturally first-class, so he will not be afraid of this bit of wind and cold.
Guo Jia, who is not a scumbag in the battle by force, has already been lying in the chariot, in addition to a thick cotton curtain to shield him from the wind and cold, he is also wearing a cotton bag on his body, and he is naturally covered with thick cotton cloth.
In fact, if it weren't for such a warm and thick protection, coupled with hot soup and hot wine, Guo Jia would inevitably be like Cao Cao in history when he conquered Liaodong, infected with the wind and cold, although Gongsun Bai can use life healing techniques to heal him, but his current life healing techniques are only level 6, that is, they can only be used six times in a month, in such bad weather, Guo Jia is afraid that six life healing techniques a month is not enough.
Zhao Yun slowly turned his head and said to Gongsun Bai: "General, the first twenty miles ahead is Jiuyuan City, seeing that this snowstorm is about to rise, do you order to speed up the march and rush to Jiuyuan City to set up camp before the snowstorm comes?"
Gongsun Bai raised his head, looked at the resolute faces behind him, and nodded.
The snow finally fell, and it fell all night, and the sky and the earth were silvery white, except for the occasional straw or two, and there was no other color.
In the camp of the Gongsun army, many soldiers were knocking down the snow on the tent with guns.
The snow fell so hard last night that many of the tents were almost crushed.
The wind was still rolling the snowflakes, fluttering around, blowing on the face more uncomfortable than a knife cut, fortunately there were still thick cotton hats under the leather armor, and most of these Gongsun army elite horsemen came from the north, but they could also support it.
There was a snow-white sky between heaven and earth, and the Jiuyuan City on the opposite side emitted a dazzling light.
Standing in front of Gongsun Bai was an ice city The originally relatively low walls of Kuhara Castle were topped with a thick layer of earth, covered by a thick layer of ice, smooth and shiny, emitting a crystal-like glow.
The ice wall is slightly lower than the old wall, there are no wall battlements, it is slippery, and more importantly, the ice wall is sloped, and the ladder cannot be erected at all.
At the head of the city, the Huns are still splashing soil and watering, among the Hun soldiers who are like clouds, the Hun king Hu Chuquan led the leaders of the tribes, standing proudly on the top of the building in the middle of the city gate, holding the battlements, and looking coldly at the Gongsun army arrayed like a mountain under the city.
In the end, his gaze fell on the white-robed young man under the banner of the Han army, and shouted loudly: "General, the Han Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, the state of etiquette, and has always been generous, why do we have already admitted defeat today, and we still have to chase after it."
Gongsun Bai smiled faintly, luckily dantian, and replied loudly: "Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away, Hu Lu will not be destroyed, and the soldiers will not stop."
This cold sound of killing, full of vigor and majestic momentum, only shocked the Huns on the city tower to lose color.
The same cruel words, issued in the mouth of a weak person, are bragging, and in the mouth of those who have the strength to do it, it is.
Obviously, Gongsun Bai is a powerful person, so this sentence is heard in the ears of the Huns, like thunder, rumbling.
Hu Chuquan finally became angry, pointed at Gongsun Bai and laughed: "I heard that the general is invincible and invincible, I don't know if I can break this ice city, otherwise please come back in March next year, otherwise Xiao Wang is worried that the general's soldiers and horses will all freeze to death in the wind and snow, but it is not beautiful." ” Gongsun Bai laughed, the horsewhip pointed directly at the city tower, and said with a disdainful smile: "Carving insect skills, why worry about teeth" As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved, and in front of him there was a towering tower, which was more than two feet higher than the city tower, and it looked particularly abrupt and eerie in the snow.
In an instant, there was a deathly silence on the castle tower.
"This is a well, why did a well" someone exclaimed.
The Hun defenders on the city tower were stunned with an incredible look.
However, something even more shocking happened to them, one after another behemoths appeared in front of them as if they had fallen from the sky.
"Oh my God, what's going on, does Gongsun Bai know how to demons the law?"
someone exclaimed.
Just when the Huns at the head of the city were in a panic, Zhao Yunshu drew his sword and came out, and ordered a song of white horse Yi to come out of the crossbow and go straight to the well.
Ho A team of elite horsemen burst out, surging under the well like a tide, neatly lined up in the direction of the back of the well, and climbed up to the top of the well quickly and neatly with the big yellow crossbow in turn.
In less than a moment, all the soldiers had climbed the watchtower at the top of the well, and there were twenty people in front of each watchtower and twenty people in the back.
"Dodge the arrows, dodge the arrows" Hu Chuquan finally reacted from the shock, and shouted urgently, all the Hun soldiers woke up like a dream, and they hid under the battlements one after another, and some people even raised a big leather shield to block the heads of Hu Chuquan and others.
Wen Chou's expression was as indifferent as iron, and he stood solemnly on the top floor of the well in the wind.
"Bring the arrow" shouted softly, and a personal soldier had already handed over a thumb-thick wolf's tooth heavy arrow.
Wen Chou took the wolf's tooth heavy arrow with his backhand, and gently buckled the heavy arrow on the bowstring, and then suddenly exerted his strength with both hands, and pulled the iron tire bow with four stones into a full moon shape, Leng Sensen's arrow was already condescending, aimed at the opposite wall, a Hun commander who was still shouting loudly in the middle of the city gate.
Shuofeng hunts, but Wen Chou's heart is clear.
Suddenly, the two fingers that held the bowstring quietly loosened.
The next moment, the thumb-thick wolf's tooth heavy arrow had already carried a low scream, and shot at the Hun commander on the wall like lightning, the Hun commander seemed to have noticed something, and was about to bow his head eagerly, however, before he could lower his head, the cold three-edged arrow cluster had already burst into his face and penetrated out from the back of his head.
The strong body of the Xiongnu commander trembled violently a few times, and then he fell straight down, causing even more chaos among the Huns at the head of the city.
Wen Chou's arrow blew the horn of attack in an instant, hundreds of crossbow archers guarding the ten wells have set up crossbows and released arrows, dense like locusts of arrow rain suddenly poured down towards the gate, these soldiers are more than five stone rhubarb crossbows, and they are all good at shooting elites, shooting downward, although Shuofeng affected the accuracy to a certain extent, but the hit rate is still extremely high, the unsheltered Hun army on the head of the city fell in a pool of blood, a small number of Hun generals wearing heavy armor were also hunted by Wen Chou one by one.

At this moment, the Huns finally understood that Bingcheng was effective against ordinary Han soldiers and horses, and it was useless to deal with a soldier and horse that could create a well in an instant.
After two rounds of arrow rain, there were almost no Hun soldiers on the city, and Hu Chuquan and Qubei and others also left the city wall with a large shield.
This is mainly because the Huns have always been good at field warfare, not good at defending the city, if they are replaced by other princes, they will rarely prepare trebuchets on the city wall to deal with the well, and then use a big iron shield to protect the top of the head, the power of the wells is not so terrifying at all.
It's just that the craftsmen of the Huns are very backward in the manufacturing skills of swords and bows and arrows, not to mention the haste to prepare trebuchets, and the armor of the big iron shield has never been the configuration of the steppe cavalry, so it suddenly became caught off guard and helpless under the attack of the well.
Gongsun Bai stood high on the well used for lookout, saw the scene on the head of the city vividly, drew his sword and roared loudly: "Kill it" Ho Hundreds of thugs rushed up with several ladders and pounced on the ice wall.
Their intention was to force the ladder and half to climb the ladder with shovels and axes, and pounce on the smooth, sloping ice wall, and then cut a passage into the top of the ice wall that was too smooth to stand.
Seeing that all the sergeants rushed forward and were about to run close to the city wall, they suddenly heard an angry roar from overhead: "Retreat, retreat" Above the well, all the crossbow archers had stopped shooting, and in the sky, Gongsun Bai rushed to the crown in anger, roaring like thunder.
The soldiers of the Gongsun Army under the city stopped their rushing footsteps and looked at the city in confusion.
The soldiers above the well also stared at the city.
Above the city, thousands of Hun soldiers escorted a group of ragged people slowly poured up, those detained men, women and children, all expressionless, dull eyes, under the shouting of the Hun soldiers, Mu Ran crowded to the front of the battlement, looking at the city blankly.
They were Han Chinese people captured by the Huns, and they were not finished
