The weather is very cold this winter! Extremely cold!
It was so cold that the breath he exhaled in the tent immediately condensed into a white column of air.
According to common sense, it is not appropriate to use troops in such a harsh environment.
However, Zhouyi decided to follow Li Jing's surprise attack on Turk Jieli Khan and led an army to attack Wuwan Shanyu.
Zhou Yi did not intend to let Karasuma Shanyu rest for a while longer, and then bring a group of prairie men to his own territory to burn, kill and loot.
Nowadays, the border between Zhouyi and Wuwan Chanyu Xiongnu is extremely wide, and Wuwan Chanyu can plunder from any direction.
It is said that it takes a thousand days to commit a thief, but how can a thousand days prevent a thief? Such a large land area cannot be defended, so Zhou Yi resolutely decided to send troops to the Xiongnu in the middle of winter.
When Zhou Yi proposed this decision, many generals in the Weiwei army were shocked. They did not expect that their commander would take such a risk and want to send troops on this freezing day.
You must know that it is a taboo for military strategists to send troops rashly in such a harsh environment. In such cold weather, even the weapons may break due to the cold weather, let alone killing people.
But Zhou Yi had already thought about it, so he asked the Ordnance Institute to build a batch of cotton armor, flails, clubs, maces, steel whips and other weapons and equipment. ?.?????.???
After seeing the equipment, Lin Zhenyuan and other generals all praised the commander-in-chief for taking precautions and foresight.
Especially those cotton armors, which are extremely cold-resistant and keep soldiers very warm after wearing them.
This time, Zhou Yi and Wang Dachui planned to lead 30,000 soldiers to surprise the Xiongnu royal court of Wuwan Chanyu, and Lin Zhenyuan and An Pingbai led an army to support the rear.
Zhou Yi assembled a mighty army of 100,000 soldiers outside Loulan New City, and the array of 100,000 troops was endless.
The people in Loulan City all climbed up the city wall to see this mighty and majestic army.
Loulan City can now be said to be an international metropolis. Here there are not only people from the Western Regions, but also Qiang, Khitan and Huns. Of course, more of them are Han people who migrated from Yongzhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou in the Zhou Dynasty.
Now, people from the Western Regions, as well as the Qiang, Khitan and Huns are all people under Zhou Yi's rule.
They looked at the mighty and majestic army of their Lord Tian Khan, and all of them felt a sense of security and pride in their hearts.
Zhou Yi led his yellow horse, held a goshawk in his right hand, and stood in the middle of thousands of soldiers with a group of generals.
Zhou Yi took an electric loudspeaker and shouted loudly, "Today our mighty guards will march on Loulan and march on Qilian. Soldiers, do you have the confidence to capture Karasuma Shanyu alive for me?"
With this electric loudspeaker, Zhou Yi's voice can be heard throughout the army.
It was the first time for many people to hear the voice of their commander. In addition, they had always thought that their commander was a saint, and the sound produced by the electric horn was the magical power of Zhou Yi Qianli's sound transmission. For this reason, everyone So excited.
Everyone began to shout excitedly, "Capture Karasuma Chanyu alive." The shouts shook the sky, so frightened that Zhou Yi's goshawks did not dare to fly rashly, and kept trembling in Zhou Yi's hands.
Zhou Yi waved his hand, and the loud shouts suddenly stopped.
"All troops set out!"
Following General Zhou Yi's order, the army immediately set off to the north of the Qilian Mountains in a mighty manner.
Looking at the mighty and majestic army of the mighty guards, Lin Zhenyuan couldn't help but sigh. He rode up to Zhou Yi and said, "Zhenyuan has always known that the commander-in-chief has a great literary talent. Why doesn't the commander-in-chief write a poem for future generations to admire?"
With Lin Zhenyuan's move, Jiang Yunsheng and An Pinbai nearby also started asking Zhou Yi to write a poem as a souvenir.
Because they firmly believe that this time Zhou Yi sends troops to capture Karasuma Shanyu alive.
Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Zhou Yi readily agreed, "Okay, okay, let me think about it for a while!"
Zhou Yi was constantly thinking in his mind, thinking about what poem to use at this time. At this time, Zhou Yi saw the goshawk in his hand and the yellow horse under his seat, and he immediately had an idea.
"Dongpo layman, I'm sorry to have plagiarized your article!" Zhou Yi secretly apologized in his heart.
"Gentlemen, I have a word to share with you."
When Jiang Yunsheng and others saw how quickly Zhou Yi had thought up a poem to suit the occasion, they couldn't help but secretly admire the commander's quick thinking, and they were all silently looking forward to Zhou Yi's lyrics.
"This poem is called "Jiang Chengzi Loulan Hunting""
"I was chatting about the madness of a young man. He holds the yellow on his left hand and the blue sky on his right. He wears a brocade hat and a mink fur, and rides thousands of horses to roll around the plain. In order to repay the beautiful city, he follows the prefect, shoots the tiger himself, and looks at the black pill."
"My chest is still full of courage after drinking. There is a little frost on my temples, so why not! In the clouds holding the knot, when will I send Feng Tang? I will draw the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the wolf."
After chanting one word, except for Wang Dachui who kept applauding, all the other civil servants and military officials were stunned on the spot.
Wang Dachui came over secretly and asked, "Brother Yi, have you overturned? Is it possible that there is Su Dongpo in this world?"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, "If this world
