Although Han Sui almost came out in full force, he did not directly choose to fight Yuan Shu head-on. Instead, he surrounded Yuan Shu and threatened him.

Facing Han Sui's tens of thousands of cavalry, Yuan Shu did not march as easily as usual, but once again reduced his marching speed and slowly advanced, always on guard against a surprise attack led by Han Sui.

"This kind of snail-like speed is really something only Yuan Jiujiu can achieve." The arrogant Zhang Heng mocked as always.

"It's only three days' journey to Jincheng. At this speed, Yuan Shu's army is estimated to take about ten days. It's still too fast!" Yan Xing frowned.

"My lord, Yuan Shu's army still has at least one month's worth of food. Even if they advance at this speed, it will be enough for the opponent to capture Jincheng." Yang Qiu, who has been attacking Yuan Shu's grain and grass army, said. He probably knows how much food Yuan Shu has in his hands.

One month is still a conservative estimate.

"What I'm waiting for is not Yuan Shu's supply of food and grass running out, but heavy snowfall!" A flash of light flashed in Han Sui's eyes: "Most of the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command are from Jiangdong. They have never seen the winter in the north and cannot adapt to it at all. By then, it is estimated that they will fight 100% of the time.

I can't even exert half my strength."

"It is expected that there will be heavy snowfall in the next few days. If Yuan Shu is still so huddled by then, I am afraid he will be unable to move even an inch without withdrawing his troops." Han Sui looked at Yuan Shu's tight formation and chuckled.

The right time, place, and people were on his side. Although Yuan Shu had a strong army, he was not helpless. Because what he wanted to do was not to defeat Yuan Shu but to protect Jincheng. He only had to delay Yuan Shu to withdraw his troops.

"Just wait, let's see how many days Yuan Shu can last. He will soon understand that this is not Jiangdong, which he freely controls, but Xiliang." Han Sui said coldly.

In ancient times, troops were usually mobilized in spring and autumn, and rarely in summer and winter, especially in the winter in the north. The falling snow in the sky is enough to stop any large army from advancing, let alone starting a war. How to withdraw the troops is a problem.

The entire army was completely wiped out due to lack of food and grass supply. Yuan Shu would not have mobilized his troops as winter approached unless forced by the situation.

However, it is not completely impossible to mobilize troops in winter. Ding Feng, the tiger minister of Soochow, became famous for fighting in the snow. Yuan Shu planted a lot of cotton under his command, and cotton clothes have long been popular. The soldiers in Jiangdong were not afraid of the cold in the north.

With no resistance, plus quilts and other items, and a lot of cold-repellent foods such as ginger, etc., none of Yuan Shu's soldiers froze to death for such a long time.

Sure enough, just as Han Sui thought, within two days, the temperature in Xiliang began to drop rapidly, and light snow began to fall in the sky. Although the snow was very small, it had already sentenced Yuan Shu to death in Han Sui's heart. Living all year round

He could tell at a glance in Xiliang that the snow was obviously not going to end in a short time, and would only get bigger and bigger.

Yuan Shu seemed to be anxious and no longer cowered. The central army still moved forward slowly, but the armies on both wings broke away from the central army and moved forward quickly towards the front.

Han Sui's spies quickly learned of Yuan Shu's movements and were secretly happy.

"My lord, Yuan Shu finally couldn't bear it anymore, what should we do?" Yang Qiu said excitedly.

Han Sui curled his lips and said: "The opponent's troops are divided into three groups, so why should we worry about it? We have nearly 60,000 cavalry, and it won't be easy to defeat them all."

"Then move the troops immediately!" Zhang Heng said with a ferocious smile, his eyes full of greed. He had been coveting the weapons and armor in the hands of Yuan Shu's soldiers for a long time.

Compared with the luxurious equipment of Yuan Shu's soldiers, although his Xiliang soldiers have no shortage of horses, they can only ensure that each man has a wooden gun, and many of the gun tips are blunt. As for armor... Xiliang soldiers have armor.

Say it?

"Don't be impatient!" Han Sui stopped him, "Now that their three armies have just separated, wouldn't you raise an army now to scare the enemy? Wait until tonight to take action, and take advantage of the darkness to catch him off guard!" Han Sui had already made plans in his mind.

"But what if the other party is prepared?" Yan Xing asked worriedly. He did not believe that Yuan Shu would be unprepared when he did this.

"So what if we are prepared? In this ice and snow, we can tell the number of the army and the weapons they carry by relying on their footprints. How can the other party ambush us? If I fight against the exhausted 40,000 to 50,000 infantry with 60,000 cavalry,

But isn’t that a joke?” Han Sui snorted coldly.

"What my lord said makes sense, but I was overly worried," Yan Xing said quickly. Han Sui had become increasingly distrustful of him recently, which made him even more worried.

"Lord, the opponent's troops are divided into three groups, which one should we take first?" Yang Qiu asked.

"The middle route is not advisable. If we are delayed, we may be attacked from both sides. The central army at the rear has chariots and heavy infantry, which is not suitable. Our night attack cannot be repeated, and the opponent will definitely be prepared in the future, so

We must finish the battle and pick the opponent's front troops." Han Sui said.

"Yan Xing, you will lead 20,000 cavalry in a sneak attack at night. Yang Qiu and eight of you will lead the crowd to follow. When the enemy retreats, you and Yan Xing will pursue them together. I will take the rear." Han Sui looked at Yan Xing and ordered.

Looking at Han Sui's slightly suspicious eyes, Yan Xing's heart tightened: "No!"

If he doesn't succeed this time, he may be in danger! Yan Xing thought in his heart.

"If the opponent is unprepared, you must do your best during this trip. The iron cavalry will directly defeat the opponent's entire army. After the opponent is defeated, don't let it go and continue to pursue it. It is best to chase the opponent directly to the central army, causing the opponent to rout on a large scale.

, so that we can solve Yuan Jun's troubles in one fell swoop!" Han Sui said excitedly.

"Promise!" the generals said in unison, with excitement flashing in their eyes. If they could defeat the world-famous Jiangdong elite in one fell swoop, they would be able to become famous all over the world.

...

In the dim night, the snow in the sky was still floating slowly. Over the course of the day and night, a layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. A crescent moon in the sky shuttled through the thick clouds, and the moonlight flickered.

On the snow-white ground, a large army was advancing slowly, with their heads and horses' hooves bound, and they were marching quietly. Occasionally, a ray of moonlight shone through, and the black mass was particularly conspicuous on the white snow.

Han Sui used his mental power to pull the clouds in the sky over, completely blocking the moon and covering up the black shadow on the snow. Yan Xing led 20,000 cavalry as they approached Wei Yanjun's camp little by little, and soon they

Came to its edge.

"Send the order and speed up the march!" Yan Xing shouted softly. At this time, he was almost within the opponent's line of sight. The opponent would soon realize that it was useless to hide his figure any longer.

"Enemy attack!" A sharp cry sounded. At the same time, a buzzer pierced the night sky and let out a scream of "Whoosh...". The tranquility of the night was instantly torn apart.

"We've been discovered." Yan Xing thought to himself, and then shouted: "Blow the trumpet! Charge!"

"Woooo..." The shrill horn sound resounded through the night sky in an instant.

The army, which was already speeding up, quickly increased its speed to the limit following the order, and rushed forward as Yan Xing. Under the leadership of Yan Xing, 20,000 cavalry galloped wildly, and the sound of horse hooves and roars became louder and louder, shocking the world. The ground was shot towards the burning Wei Yanjun camp in the distance.
