Snowflakes were also falling outside Shuofeng City, but the snow here was much smaller than that outside Liangzhou Pass.

It had been raining for a long time before a thin layer of snowflakes accumulated on the ground, and even the hot breath would blow it away.

The terrain outside Shuofeng City is in the shape of an inverted gourd, and the road becomes more open as you go outside. Therefore, standing on the top of the city, it looks like a snow-white triangular carpet is spread on the ground.

In the forest about five or six miles northwest of the city wall, there was a faint sound of cursing.

"It's really a ghost. It's so cold that I still have to keep an eye on him~"

"Who says it's not the case? It's really bad luck!"

"Damn, what a damn bad luck!"

…

There were about ten or twenty Yan soldiers squatting under the trunk of the tree. There were a few pieces of cowhide canvas draped on the bare treetops above their heads, which could barely cover them from some snowflakes falling from the sky.

But even so, these Yan soldiers were still shivering from the cold, constantly blowing hot air into their hands, and their noses flowed down their cheeks uncontrollably.

Yes, they are the scouts responsible for monitoring the movements of Liang's army in Shuofeng City. From this position, they can vaguely see the entrance of Shuofeng City. As long as a large group of cavalry appears, they will definitely be discovered.

Originally, the Yan soldiers didn't care much about the movements of the Liang army. Anyway, Klecha's camp just blocked the road to Wuguan. As long as you send troops, you must capture his camp.

But recently Mu Yunduankang strictly ordered the entire army to monitor the Liang army, so Krecha symbolically sent some scouts out to keep an eye on Shuofeng City.

This was a hardship for the soldiers below, and it happened to be snowing heavily. In order to avoid exposing their position, they couldn't even light a fire to keep warm, and even their winter clothes were a little thin.

"Pop!"

A strong man sitting half-sitting under the root of a tree vigorously brushed the snowflakes off his shoulders and muttered:

"Brothers, if you hold on a little longer, we can change our defenses tomorrow, and then we can all live a comfortable life in the barracks!"

From his tone, he knew that he was the officer leading this group of scouts.

Seeing that the boss had spoken, the other top soldiers couldn't say anything more, and they all nodded dejectedly.

"Don't look so droopy. Come on, I have some wine here. Let's take a sip each to warm ourselves up." The strong man removed a wine bag from his side and threw it neatly to the soldiers beside him.

"Haha, you are still experienced, and you even brought wine with you!"

"Then we won't be polite, haha~"

Seeing the wine, a smile finally appeared on the faces of these big-headed soldiers.

What a pleasure it would be to have a sip of strong liquor in this winter.

"GuluGulu~"

The soldiers poured wine down their throats one after another. Although it was low-quality spirits, it could at least keep them warm in this snowy day.

By the time the wine bag was passed back to the leading man, only a little was left.

The burly man shook the wine bag, listening to the sloshing sound of some wine inside, with a wry smile on his face, then raised his head and poured the remaining wine into his stomach.

"GuluGulu~"

"Whoosh!"

"Pfft!"

At this moment, a sharp arrow pierced the night sky, passed through the quiver steadily, and hit the leading Yan soldier in the throat.

The arrow was inserted into his throat, and the remaining strong liquor continued to drip down the big hole in the wine bag.

"Pfft~"

A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. The burly man clutched his throat in shock, looking at the vast night with despair.

I don’t know where the arrow came from.

The sudden change shocked all the soldiers. The soldier closest to the leader was stunned for a moment, and then reached out to touch the scimitar at his waist.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"kill!"

Arrows continued to shoot out, and half of the Yan soldiers fell down in an instant. The remaining half finally woke up and turned over to find their weapons.

"kill!"

A deep cold shout sounded, and dozens of black figures suddenly appeared around their campsite, each of them holding a Beiliang Dao in their hands.

These crossbowmen did not know when they had reached a place very close to the Yan army, and rushed into the crowd in just a few steps.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

"Chi chi chi~"

These crossbowmen from Shuofeng City attacked the Yan soldiers as soon as they appeared, with almost no hesitation.

One of the Yan soldiers realized something was wrong, jumped up like a rabbit, ran to the side in three steps and then reached out to pick up the warning arrow.

As long as the sounding arrow is fired, the surrounding scouts will hear it and take precautions.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, just when he touched the ringing arrow, a crossbowman rudely knocked out of the slanting arrow and knocked Yan Bing to the ground.

"boom!"

"Pfft~"

The crossbowman pinned the struggling Yan Bing under him and punched him in the head. Yan Bing gradually stopped moving.

Finally, he pulled out his machete and lightly touched Yan Bing's neck to ensure his death.

In a matter of seconds, the Yan soldiers here were wiped out by the Liang army, and the blood began to solidify in an instant in this cold winter.

The crossbow commander, who was holding a knife, glanced at the battlefield, and after confirming that there were no survivors, he said coldly:

"Walk!"

…

Almost at the same time, seven or eight Yan Army surveillance points were attacked by the Liang Army. The Shuofeng Battalion cooperated with the crossbowmen to begin targeted elimination of the Yan Army's scouts.

Mei Yushu, the leader of Camp Shuofeng, stood quietly on a hillside, looking up at the snowy night sky with a faint smile on his lips.

The huge mountain forest in front of him looked extremely peaceful on the surface, but in fact it was causing a killing spree.

The movements of these Yan army scouts have always been under their control, but they have not taken action because of the prince's plan.

A soldier walked quietly behind Mei Yushu and whispered:

"General, the spies have been cleared."

"Send the signal~" Mei Yushu waved her hand calmly.

After a few firelights lit up in the mountain forest, the gate of Shuofeng City quietly opened.

All five city gates opened at the same time, and a huge flow of people poured out of them at a rapid speed.

Xue Tian personally led the army, and Zhu Tianhe led his troops to suppress the formation. The first wave of soldiers who left the city totaled 20,000 people, which was almost the entire garrison of Shuofeng City.

Not only the Shuofeng battalion and the city-defending infantry came out in full force, but also the heavy-armored battalion and other low-level troops came out.

After these large armies left the city, tens of thousands of cavalry troops rushed out again.

Northern Liang Left Cavalry Army!

There were a total of 30,000 people on both sides, and this majestic city guarding the border of Shuozhou became an empty city from then on.

Tens of thousands of troops marched quietly in the snowy night in darkness, making no sound except for the sound of slight footsteps.

If Mei Yushu and the crossbowmen hadn't eliminated the Yan army scouts first, their traces would have been exposed.

Their goals are clear:

The Yan army camp twenty miles away!

Xue Tian rode out alone, looked at the advancing army, and murmured softly:
Chapter completed!
