The north wind howled, heavy snow fell, and the temperature dropped sharply.
The Guanluo River, which was still flowing in the middle, finally froze completely.
The Iron Blood Army and the men and horses led by Gu Chayi had previously defended along the river.
The detective horses from both sides patrolled the Guanluo River day and night, for fear that the other party would take the opportunity to cross the river to attack.
After the incident, the 30,000 iron-blooded troops on the edge of the Guanluo River sent people to investigate the frozen Guanluo River to find a place where they could cross the river.
Finally, on a snowy and windy night, the Jagged Army arrived at the border of Yanbei on the frozen river.
After Guchayi defeated the Jingnan Army, he was immediately sent to the Guanluo River by Qi Weilun.
The terrain at the corner of Guanluo River is dangerous and the river is fast.
An ancient road is the only way from Anyun to Yanbei.
There is an unknown ancient city on the ancient road.
Because of the long period of peace, the ancient city has been abandoned.
Guchayi led 5,000 people to station in the ancient city, and relied on its old scale to repair the ancient city.
Reinforcements from Shifeng City have been continuously dispatched, and now more than 10,000 people are stationed in the ancient city.
Since learning that the Iron-Blooded Army had arrived at the Guanluo River, Gu Chayi ordered his men to set up camp on the riverside, and sent out scouts to detect the enemy troops trying to cross the river.
After discovering the enemy troops, Gu Chayi would lead a large number of troops to support them. .
The arrival of severe winter made Gu Chayi even more worried, because it meant that the natural dangers of Guanluo River could no longer be relied upon.
Qi Weilun transported several catapults captured by the Jingnan Army here.
During the day, Gucha ordered people to smash the river ice with stones, just to temporarily prevent the arrival of the Iron-blooded Army.
On this windy and snowy night, as soon as Gucha finished handling the day's affairs and lay in bed, a scout came to report that the Iron-blooded Army had crossed the river.
Gu Cha was shocked and immediately ordered 3,000 men and horses to brave the wind and snow to prevent the Iron-blooded Army from crossing the river.
The Wang Guards now controlled these 30,000 men, and they had been feigning a frontal attack during the day.
In addition, they were crossing the river on this windy and snowy night.
They thought they could catch the Yanbei rebels by surprise, but unexpectedly Gu Chayi's troops came as quickly as possible. .
Qian Guards held a gun in one hand and led a thousand people to cross the river first.
This section of the river ice was very strong, but the equipment on the soldiers was not light.
They were cautious when walking on the river ice, for fear of accidentally breaking the ice.
Just freeze to death here.
The Guanluo River is extremely wide.
Even in the dry season, the river is still one mile wide.
Therefore, when Gucha arrived, only a thousand people from Qian's personal guard came over, and many others were treading carefully on the river ice.
As soon as Gucha saw that someone had crossed the river, he did not hesitate and immediately led 3,000 men to kill them, trying to annihilate the enemy troops crossing the river, and then repel the other enemy troops.
Gucha ordered his men to bring a few light catapults and throw stones into the river.
However, it was hard to see out of hand, and there was wind and snow, and the catapults had extremely low aiming points, which could not stop the iron-blooded army from crossing the river.
The thousand men led by Qian's guards had already stood their ground.
When they saw Gu Cha coming to kill him, they formed a military formation to stop him.
After all, the Iron Blood Army was the most elite force in the dynasty, and their discipline was very strict.
Listening to the sound of swordsmen on the other side, as well as the sound of stones being thrown and breaking ice beside them, they did not show any panic at all and stepped across the Guanluo River step by step.
Gu Chayi took advantage of his numerical advantage to attack Qian's 1,000-strong bodyguard.
Although he pushed the Jagged Army back continuously, it was impossible to defeat these 1,000 people.
As more and more enemy people crossed the river, Gu Chayi finally found it difficult to resist and had no choice but to retreat with his troops.
There was a rumble and creaking sound as the ice broke, and accompanied by the wails of several people, a stone hit the Iron-Blooded Army's team crossing the river.
The royal guard was not far away.
Seeing such a shocking scene, he immediately ordered the team crossing the river to destroy the catapult first.
Under the restraint of the officers, the panic quickly subsided.
Such a mob would have trampled on each other long ago, and no one would be able to survive.

The Iron-Blooded Army that crossed the river saw Gucha retreating but did not pursue him.
After destroying several catapults, they stabilized their formation and covered the approach of the large army.
"It was really thrilling just now.
If the stone had moved forward a little further, I would have gone to the Guanluo River to feed the fish and shrimp today."
Wang Qianwei said in fear after crossing the river.
"I didn't expect those people from Yanbei to come so fast.
I thought there was a feint attack during the day, and we would catch them off guard by taking advantage of the wind and snow."
Qian Guards was also a little surprised.
"It seems that the rebels in Yanbei are not all just a mob, but there are also some capable people.
We must be careful this time.
We must pay attention to the army confronting us, and we must not be attacked by them."
Wang Qinwei commanded.
"In the past, we couldn't do anything to them due to the natural barrier of Guanluo River.
Now that we have crossed the river, we must teach them a lesson.
Lao Wang gave me thousands of soldiers and horses, and I will destroy them right now."
Qian Guards said angrily.
"Don't be reckless.
Our mission this time is to capture Shifeng City and open up the Yushan Mountain Road.
This team is small and as long as we are careful, it won't be a big disaster.
Wei Zeng of Shifeng City is our main plot.
As long as we capture Shifeng City and kill him Wei Zeng, there will be plenty of time to settle this matter," Wang Qinwei organized.
After a brief reorganization, the 30,000 Iron-Blooded Army headed directly towards Shifeng City.
Among them, the three thousand armored cavalry were the last to cross the river, but after crossing the river, they should sweep forward first.
As soon as Gucha retreated, he ordered people to inform Wei Zeng of the Iron Blood Army's crossing of the river.
While he was asking people to hold on to the ancient city, he hoped to use the dangerous trail to ambush the Iron Blood Army and give the Iron Blood Army an unexpected blow.
After Gu Cha Yi retreated, he did not go to the ancient city immediately.
Gu Cha Yi decisively gave up the village on the riverside and led three thousand rebels to ambush the Iron Blood Army in the steep places of the ancient road.
At this time, a troop of more than a thousand people rushed over under the dim light of the northeast.
It turned out that Zhao Jiahui heard that Gu Cha was retreating and came to respond.
"Old Zhao, you're welcome here.
I was planning to ambush the Jagged Army here.
With more than a thousand people like you here, our chances of winning are even greater."
Gucha patted Zhao Jiahui on the shoulder and said.
"If anything happens to Commander Gu, just give me your orders.
I, Zhao Jiahui, will do everything you want."
Zhao Jiahui replied.
"Have you looked at the canyon in front of you?
You lead people to ambush on both sides, and when the Jagged Army arrives, you will come out to kill the enemy.
I will ambush in the mountain col here and cut off their way.
Let's cooperate with each other and have a good fight.
A big battle."
Gu Chayi ordered.
"I'll take people there right now.
But General, what is this sound?
Is it an earthquake?"

After Zhao Jiahui agreed, he suddenly heard a rumble and the earth trembled.
Gu Chayi also heard it.
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a large group of armored cavalry appearing on the western horizon.
Now that the genius has just become a little brighter, the armored cavalry on the horizon looks dark.
With the earth-shattering sound of horse footsteps, the armored cavalry turns into a torrent of steel and attacks the rebels.
"I didn't expect the enemy to kill them so quickly.
There was no time to ambush, so everyone occupied the valley and formed a formation to defend.
The pikemen formed a formation to resist the horses, and the crossbowmen fired."
Gu Chayi immediately ordered.
Four thousand rebels formed a hasty formation.
As soon as the crossbowmen fired the first arrow, the armored cavalry arrived.
The crossbowmen retreated hastily, blocking their unformed spears from the horse formation, making the impact even more disastrous.
The armored cavalry charged into the rebel formation mercilessly and easily tore the formation into pieces.
The rebel formation was split into several pieces, making it difficult to coordinate with each other for a while.
The armored cavalry were like wolves entering the flock of sheep, killing the rebel soldiers who were no longer in formation.
For a while, the rebel army was unable to fight back.
Gu Chayi was fighting and retreating under the cover of the guards.
His heart ached when he saw that his four thousand troops were going to be gone in the blink of an eye.
At this time, a group of armored cavalry discovered the retreating Gu Chayi and immediately charged towards Gu Chayi.
Gu Chayi's guards formed a shield wall but did not resist at all.
The iron-blooded knight's horse easily broke through the shield wall with the force of the impact, and then brandished the saber and turned into a massacre.
An iron-blooded knight broke through the shield wall, threw away his horse, drew his saber, and after killing several rebel soldiers, he rushed towards Gu Chayi.
Gucha bent his bow and shot an arrow that hit the iron-blooded knight, but saw that the knight was only slightly to one side, and then had no effect.
He raised his saber and slashed at him.
Gu Cha hurriedly waved his gun to stop him, and fought with the armored cavalry for several rounds on horseback.
At this time, more armored cavalry came to kill Gucha.
A knight rushed over and stabbed Gu Chayi's mount to the ground with a single thrust.
As soon as Gucha got off his horse and stood up, he saw several sabers coming towards him.
"Everything is over."
Gucha said in shock.
At this moment, a big man waved an iron rod to catch all the sabers, and then knocked an armored cavalry off his horse with a horizontal stick.
"Commander Gu, are you okay?"
The big man turned around and asked.
It turned out that it was Zhao Jiahui who came to rescue Gu Chayi.
At this time, four armored knights saw their companions being killed and immediately joined forces to kill Zhao Jiahui.
Zhao Jiahui was not afraid in the face of danger.
He hit the body with the iron rod and whipped the horse's legs.
In the blink of an eye, he knocked the four knights on their backs.
"There are too many enemies.
Let's rush back to the ancient city first to make plans."
Zhao Jiahui said when he saw that the rebel army was unable to resist the iron-blooded army, and more iron-blooded knights also came to kill Gucha.
Without waiting for Gu Cha's answer, Zhao Jiahui picked up Gu Cha one by one, then jumped on a horse and took Gu Cha away towards the ancient city.
The rebels fought on their own, waiting for an opportunity to escape from the ancient city.
Gucha lost his concentration and took four thousand troops out of the city.
Now only less than two hundred people have returned.

"The Iron-Blooded Army is too terrifying.
They can't be cut with swords or killed by arrows.
Facing them, they don't even have a chance to fight back."
Gu Cha thought to himself.
"Zhuangshi Zhao, how could you kill those armored cavalry?
Why did they take one of my arrows and hit me a few times, but they were fine, but you killed them with one stick."
Gu Cha recovered his mind a little and then asked Zhao Jiahui .
"The armor of those armored soldiers is so strong that ordinary swords cannot penetrate it.
I have some brute strength and like to use heavy weapons.
I can inflict internal injuries on them even through the armor by swinging this stick."
Zhao Jiahui waved the iron rod and said.
"Yes, it's because of the weapons.
To deal with the armored soldiers, it's natural to use heavier weapons.
I want to inform Wei Zeng, but I can't let them make the same mistake I made today.
I will inform the blacksmith and order me to make a batch of iron rods. , Sledgehammer, use the big one to deal with the Iron-Blooded Army."
Gu Chayi ordered.
"But Commander, we don't have enough steel." said an officer in charge of logistics.
"Search me for all the metal things in the city, and melt all the useless weapons.
Make as many as you can."
Gu Chayi ordered.
"Commander Qi Gu, a large enemy force is coming."
A soldier on the city wall reported.
"Let me all go to the city to defend.
Anyone who dares to go out of the city to fight will be killed without mercy."
Gu Chayi ordered
