"Commander Yuan."
A deep voice pulled Yuan Hao back from his murderous fantasies.
After suppressing the impatience in his heart, Yuan Hao looked back at the person coming and said with a smile:
"General Zhou, are you ready?"
The Houting County area was the first line of defense established by Dayan to prevent the barbarians from going south, and it had been in operation for a long time.
It consists of three cities, mainly in Houting County, and twelve permanent camps. They are horns to each other and stretch for hundreds of miles from east to west.
After taking over the mixed iron cavalry for reinforcements from the south, after a short rest, he and several commanders urgently assigned siege tasks.
They had to capture the entire defense line before Zong Qingsheng's Chinese army arrived, and be ready to face an attack from the south at any time.
General Zhou pondered for a moment and said in a low voice:
"We are ready, but I went to check the snow near Houting County. It is very deep and may not be conducive to our large-scale attack on the city."
"snow?"
Yuan Hao murmured and glanced at the distant border town in the snow.
If the snow can cover your ankles, it is considered heavy snow, and if the snow can cover your body, it is considered heavy.
But the months-long blizzard in the north has caused the snow in this wilderness to nearly cover up the coniferous pine forests that have grown for centuries.
Seventy-eight feet deep snow is the norm on the plains, and five or six feet deep snow is considered shallow. What's more, some low-lying canyons are almost filled with snow.
The heavy cavalry, including men and animals plus heavy armor, can weigh several tons. It is impossible to attack at such a fast speed in this kind of snowy field.
This iron cavalry was able to travel thousands of miles south in half a month, all because the high-level cultivators accompanying the army took turns day and night to break up the snow on the ground with their deep cultivation skills, opening a path in the sea of snow for the tens of thousands of heavy cavalry behind them. path of.
After pondering for a while, Yuan Hao laughed softly:
"It doesn't matter."
General Zhou hesitated upon seeing this:
"Commander Yuan, are you sure you will only lead one battalion to attack Hou Ting?"
Yuan Hao smiled and shook his head when he heard this:
"General Zhou, as I said before, these cities in Houting County are basically empty cities. One battalion of soldiers and horses is more than enough."
"Empty City."
General Zhou frowned when he heard this and wanted to ask the other party about the source of the information, but he held back.
They have been near Dali Mountain and don't know a lot of information, and this Yuan Hao came by air, so he should know some information that they don't know.
There was a moment of silence,
General Zhou sighed and raised his hands:
"Since you, Commander Yuan, are already in the hills and valleys, I won't say any more words. May your military fortunes be prosperous."
Yuan Hao grinned:
"Then Yuan Mou borrowed General Zhou's good words."
After a pause,
Yuan Hao asked again:
"Also, General Zhou, don't forget, remember to detonate the Yunqi bomb immediately after I board the city. This is Lord Lou Ji's wish."
After all,
Yuan Hao didn't care about the confusion in General Zhou's eyes, and disappeared into the snow with a single leap.
Houting County Government Office, a separate courtyard.
"Squeak——"
With the sound of the wooden door of the wing, a handsome man wearing a loose nightgown walked out of the wing into the courtyard.
As he walked, he lazily raised his eyes and glanced at the still dark sky.
As a body-melting environment, he didn't need to sleep, but it would be too boring if he didn't sleep.
Because he was under house arrest.
After being ripped off by Xu Changtian, he saved his life and came to the outside of Houting County. After being personally welcomed into the city by the general here, he was immediately placed under house arrest by these people in the name of "protection." In this courtyard.
Thinking of this,
Li Yunqing had already walked into the dilapidated pavilion in the courtyard, dusting off the snow and sighing.
In fact, house arrest is nothing, and he has been prepared for it for a long time. But the key point is that these sects are not human beings, and they did not arrange any entertainment facilities for him under house arrest.
Not to mention asking a waiter to accompany him, he didn't even have a drawing book to pass the time.
Apart from sleeping, he could only sit in the courtyard and watch the snow in a daze.
As for cultivation?
It is impossible to practice cultivation.
If he continues to practice, he will break through to the level of a third-grade grandmaster if he doesn't pay attention. By then, his elder brother will probably have some objections.
In order to prevent brothers from fighting each other, it is better not to do this unnecessary temptation.
Taking out half a bottle of monkey wine that he had not finished drinking yesterday, Li Yunqing started a new day of boring snow viewing.
Unfortunately, under the thick snow clouds in the sky, there is almost no difference between the light during the day and the night.
If you don't use the technique, you can only see a piece of black cloth falling downwards, but if you use the technique, you may be targeted by the sect's border troops outside.
Living under someone else's roof, in order to avoid being suspected of causing trouble and then disappearing, Li Yunqing finally chose to endure it.
If it's ugly, it's ugly. Black snow is also snow, so I'll just reward it.
Life is not shabby.
As he continued to drink glass after glass of wine, Li Yunqing was just a little tipsy when he suddenly heard bursts of noise coming from outside the hospital.
Although there is no running technique, the physical quality of the fourth-grade body-melting realm is here after all.
The noise was so small at first that Li Yunqing even thought he heard it wrong, because the people who could serve as guards in the county government office were basically the elites of the sect.
Although they can't do it without changing their composure when the mountain collapses in front of them, they are still a group of veterans who have fought in many battles and can still do the most basic orders and prohibitions in peacetime.
But Li Yunqing soon gave up this idea, because the noise spread in a short time.
The county office seemed to be in chaos, and he even heard the neighing and trampling of hooves from these monster horses.
Someone is driving a horse at the county government office?
Are you running away?
After a few breaths of silence,
After Li Yunqing considered it, he gently placed the wine glass on the stone table and was about to get up and go out to see the situation.
The next moment,
A sudden ray of light suddenly appeared in the sky, forming a ball of light about ten feet in size in the sky in the north of Houting County.
The moment he saw the ball of light, Li Yunqing's pupils shrank.
He had seen this ball of light once.
Cloud Qitan.
While he was thinking about it, the surface of the light ball in the sky began to crack layer by layer.
The light scattered from the cracks, so dazzling that it could almost blind people.
And at the moment when the light ball completely shattered, an invisible shock wave spread out instantly, and a void of several hundred feet appeared between the dark clouds in the sky!
In the mighty clouds, the impact did not continue to spread. Instead, it was suddenly sucked back when it reached a critical point, forming a circular high-pressure belt of about half a meter on the thick snow-covered cloud layer.
At this moment, the strange scene in the sky seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.
Everything suddenly became eerily quiet.
The next moment,
A violent hurricane spreads out from the high pressure center!
The wind blew past and scattered the thousands of miles of snow-covered clouds in all directions.
After a breath,
A ray of bright sunshine at noon fell on the ground.
After two breaths,
The wind pressure swept through the snow that was several feet deep on the ground, and the hurricane nearly bent the tree trunks on the ground.
After three breaths,
The sky is clear and the snow is gone.
Looking at the picture in front of me,
Li Yunqing realized something, narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed, and sat back on the stone bench:
"Is this an ultimatum for the Barbarian King and the sect? There's so much movement, tsk."
Kavin's heart collapsed
