The dusk is getting darker, and the moon is no longer visible in the sky, but there are a few stars.

Under the reflection of the stars, the vast grassland was filled with hazy snow.

Behind a small hill, bonfires were burning brightly. Next to the fire, the soldiers sang and me, and the howling songs of ghosts and wolves were floating in the dim flames and the hazy night.

"You want me to do it..."

The tone is still the same, but the words have changed.

"Who doesn't want to come? / Who doesn't want to come..."

"Your wall is high / Your father is still tied up a vicious dog behind the wall..."

Sure enough, the creativity of the people is endless!

Listening to a group of broken gongs singing and howling, the initiator Li Hanqing sat quietly beside the fire wrapped in a felt blanket, with a wry smile on his lips.

This little song is almost ruined!

"Brother Historical,"

Suddenly, He Wei, who was sitting aside, suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Hanqing. He happened to see Li Hanqing smiling bitterly, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong?"

He Wei also wrapped himself in a felt blanket like a rice dumpling.

There are no tents in the camp, so I can only wrap the felt blanket and sit next to the fire, so I won’t feel too difficult to deal with.

"fine!"

Li Hanqing shook his head gently, his voice tired, "Just a little tired!"

"Who isn't tired?"

He Wei suddenly realized and sighed, "I've been 80 miles away this afternoon!"

As he said that, He Wei patted his leggings, "These leggings really work!"

"Um,"

Li Hanqing echoed gently, not wanting to be confused about this issue, so he asked casually, "How far is this place from Daxing City?"

"Daxing City,"

He Wei pondered, "Temu City is 180 miles east of Hei Water City, and Hei Water City is 400 miles south of Hei Water City is Daxing City. We have walked 120 to 30 miles south of the southeast, well... there are almost 400 miles."

"this……"

Li Hanqing was stunned when he heard this, and then he became a little nervous, "Let's go to Daxing... have you retreated a little further?"

Although Li Hanqingran wanted to retreat to the Central Plains in one breath, he was a soldier and was in charge of military law. He just abandoned the city and retreated four or five hundred miles... Is there really no problem?

"Far?"

He was stunned, but shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Han, do you believe it? Within half a month, the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry will definitely come to Daxing City!"

"Well……"

Li Hanqing burst into tears and then sighed, "Of course I believe it!"

As early as the way to Muli City with Xue Kang, Li Hanqing had already had a premonition of a great defeat. Then, Beizhicheng was broken, Beiju City was besieged, and the general led a 50,000 army was wiped out outside Muli City... All these confirmed that his premonition was correct - the great defeat had begun.

At the beginning, the Northern Barbarians retreated northward in order to lengthen the front line and increase the supply difficulty of the Dali army. They immediately sent light cavalry to attack the Dali army's baggage team to further disintegrate the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on the Dali front line.

Then, just as the first snow in the north of Mobei fell, the Northern Barbarians began to fight back in full swing, breaking through Beizhicheng with lightning speed, and using Beijucheng as bait, luring 50,000 troops out of Mulicheng and annihilated them... The counterattack plan is closely linked, which is really intimate.

In Li Hanqing's view, this is not unrelated to the Dali army's underestimation of the enemy. More importantly, the Northern Barbarians knew their advantages - cavalry, and brought the advantages of cavalry's flexibility and maneuverability to the extreme!

Although Li Hanqing was not aware of the situation of the Central Army and the Right Army at this time, he also knew that the Dali Army had too few cavalry and poor mobility, and it was almost impossible to turn the situation around the winter grassland.

Therefore, this great defeat will only intensify. It can be said that before the Dali army completely shrinks its forces and establishes a stronger defense line, the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry could almost push southward without any force.

However, Li Hanqing never thought that He Wei had seen this long ago. No wonder when he was in Tiemu City, he would suggest Xia Boyan retreating to Daxing City.

Daxing City is four hundred miles south of Heishui City, and the front line further north should be about six hundred miles away. Such a distance should be enough.

Even if the Dali army cannot block the attack of the Northern Barbarian Cavalry in Daxing, there is still a glimmer of hope for continued escape south!

"Well……"

He Wei was also surprised at Li Hanqing's answer, "Brother Hanqing also saw it?"

Li Hanqing could only smile bitterly. Isn’t it helpless to see that it is not helpful?

"well……"

Seeing that Li Hanqing had agreed, He Wei sighed and looked sarcastic, "With a million troops, he can still fight the war to this point..."

"Shh!"

Li Hanqing was shocked and quickly made a gesture of silence.

He understood that He Wei's ridicule was because of indignation, and also understood the reason for his indignation. But, this was an imperial commander in person, how could he tolerate criticism?

"What are you afraid of?"

He Wei was justified and his voice suddenly rose three points higher, "Millions of soldiers and thousands of generals were actually led by the Northern Barbarians all the way... I'm so embarrassed for them!"

Damn it, just a naughty man!

Li Hanqing was unable to complain and glanced around with guilt. He saw that except for the brothers of the Knight Guard, the others were chatting as if they should be chatting. They continued to howl, and seemed to have not heard He Wei's indignation at all.

"hehe……"

Seeing that Yao Zhongyi and others' expressions changed, Xia Boyan, who was standing beside him, quickly smiled dryly and smoothed out the situation, "Master Yao, don't be surprised, this kid is just...a..."

As he said that, Xia Boyan could not find the words.

In this situation, you can't say "this kid is just a straight person"?

Isn’t “rectal” telling the truth?

"well……"

This battle was not easy to go well, Xia Boyan had no choice but to sigh helplessly, "Yao Duwei, you don't know anything. He Wei was originally a child of an official. Speaking of which, his grandfather was once the minister of the humeral in my Dali court..."

As he said that, Xia Boyan's voice stopped abruptly, and he just shook his head and sighed, "Oh..."

"He Jingzhong?!"

Yao Zhongyi suddenly let out a low voice, then he looked straight away, pretending to be relaxed, "Brother Bo Yan, I wonder if you have any knowledge of the method of fighting formation..."

Preventing people’s mouths is more important than preventing rivers, so many things become taboos and need to be avoided!

Of course, there are many people in the world who speak freely, but most of them will end up in a miserable end.

Although Yao Zhongyi admires such a person, he does not have the courage to become such a person!

"Du Tou, that little Taohong is so seductive as you said..."

"Zhang Gongjin, your fiancée is so fierce..."

"Shi Chun, later you found the little lady who sold tofu didn't..."

Obviously, not only Yao Zhongyi knew that He Jingzhong's affairs were taboo, but others also quickly moved away from the topic.

Seeing this, Li Hanqing was a little confused.

"hehe……"

He Wei naturally heard the words of Xia Boyan and Yao Zhongyi. Seeing the reactions of everyone, he turned his head and smiled at Li Hanqing, who was confused on his face, and felt a little relieved, "Brother Hanqing, justice is in the hearts of the people!"

"Well……"

Li Hanqing felt that this could not be continued, so he had to turn away from the topic, "He Wei, do you have a girl with good looks?"

"Yes, I have!"

He Wei smiled unconcealedly, with a sense of happiness, and a rare feeling of gentleness in his voice, "I told her that I would go back to marry her after the war..."

Looking at He Wei's smiling face, Li Hanqing suddenly felt a little dazed. Such a guy would have a beloved girl?

It seems that for men, women are the greatest masterpiece of the Creator!

As the night became deeper, the bonfire was already burning, and the soldiers who had completely relaxed were already asleep, and only the brothers in charge of the alert were still swimming in the hazy night.

After waking up, Li Hanqing felt refreshed. Seeing that it was already dawn, he got up and found an open space next to the camp to practice the knife.

It's still wind and thunder...

As the morning light grew, Li Hanqing was already sweating profusely. Although he still couldn't find any tricks, he felt energetic.

Putting away his knife, wiping his sweat, looking into the distance, looking at the vast grassland covered with snow under the dawn, Li Hanqing suddenly felt open-minded and broad-minded.

It turns out that the grassland is so beautiful!

Actually, life is good now!

"Arise! Get up..."

The generals urged him, and the camp immediately became noisy and it was time to start.

The next two days, the wind was calm, and the soldiers felt that they were getting easier and easier. They ate when they should and slept when they should sleep, and there was no rush to leave Tiemu City.

On the fourth morning, when Li Hanqing woke up from his sleep, it was just dawn.
To be continued...
