Chapter 8568 Are you ready?
Snow Saint Village.
This is the largest village in Shilibaxiang.
The large open space in front was already filled with tents.
Various temporary work hours have been set up.
In a large tent in the middle, there were about ten people talking.
There seemed to be three people sitting at the top, but in fact there was only one person, and that was Beili Tu.
Beili Tu doesn't have the most people, but his status is the highest. After all, he is now the King of Beili.
The leader of the Mongolian army was Wulihan, who was just a member of Wanhu.
Yang Dingxing of the Yang family in Bozhou was a favored son of Chieftain Yang, but he was not the only one. In terms of status, he was far inferior to King Beili.
"Are you ready?" Beilitu asked.
He gave orders without hesitation. Among the three leaders, he had the highest authority and the strongest ability.
His position as the Great Elder of the Beili Clan back then was not obtained out of thin air, but through fighting with swords and spears. He is one of the most famous generals in the world today.
"We are ready, we can set off." Yang Dingxing said.
Beilitu turned his attention to Wulihan again.
Wulihan also nodded and said: "We have no objections and can take action."
On the second day, after resting for a while, the coalition forces broke out of camp and set off. They were still some way away from Sixiang City.
In fact, Yang Dingxing still wanted to delay a little, but there was no way. The other two armies decided to set off. They, the Yang Family Army in Bozhou, could not stay alone to rest.
The five fingers must be clenched into a fist to be powerful when punched. If you let go, the loose fingers will only be broken by everyone. In this case, he can only choose to start.
Yang Dingxing was not afraid of fighting. Since he had chosen to lead the Yang family's army northward, he was already mentally prepared.
However, he found that he had underestimated the severe cold in the north.
He knows the temperament of his southern soldiers very well. Southerners are afraid of the cold. On such a cold day, they should hide in the house to keep warm. They should go out to fight in the snow and wind. Isn't this a fool?
From a spiritual point of view, it is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the physical constitution of southerners.
Banshu is located in the southwest. In winter, the climate is warm, equivalent to spring in the north. Compared with the severe cold in the north, it is really mild.
Therefore, when southerners grow up in such a warm environment, their bodies are naturally not so cold-tolerant.
Moreover, after traveling, you still need to carry heavy luggage.
If the Yang family had given enough money, and Beilitu had temporarily given some money, and promised rewards if they won the battle, the Yang family's army would really be unwilling to set off.
But even so, the marching speed of the coalition forces was still greatly affected.
While crossing a river, Yang Dingxing couldn't help but feel dissatisfied as he watched the soldiers knocking on the ice of the river and finally knocking out tiny cracks like spider webs.
"The area around Sixiang City doesn't reach the true north, so why is it so cold? It stands to reason that on this day in previous years, the ice in the river would have melted. This year, the river is really frozen solid."
"How can previous years be compared with this year..."
Wulihan smiled slightly and said: "General Yang, you are from the south. You don't know that in the north, there will be abnormal weather every few years. We prairie people call this year the ice year. This year is rare.
It’s the Ice Year.”
"Maybe it's a good thing. We can just walk across the ice. This way we don't have to take a detour and can save a lot of time."
Yang Dingxing thought for a while and said.
"I'm afraid it won't be a success... Our men and horses can pass through, but our siege artillery and siege vehicles are extremely heavy. This kind of ice cannot bear it."
Bei Li Tu Road.
Yang Dingxing's face turned red.
He was so careless that he forgot about the heavy artillery.
"I'm anxious too. Look, why are we marching so slowly?"
"If we can get to Sixiang City quickly, we can destroy them and occupy Sixiang City."
"How many soldiers does Sixiang City have? It can fight more than ten thousand people at most. That guy Xiang Renyu can indeed fight, but there is only one strong general like him. It is not difficult for us to surround and kill him."
Yang Dingxing laughed twice and spoke his mind.
"It's better to play it safe. What we are pursuing is a one-hit kill, so advancing slowly is the safest strategy."
Beili Tu didn't think it was necessary to risk marching at this time.
He has already calculated that Sixiang City is at its most empty at this time. Except for the Yan family army who arrived in advance, it will take seven days for the army closest to this place to arrive.
But within seven days, if everything goes well, they will have already entered Sixiang City.
After getting the supplies in Sixiang City and taking a short rest, we can directly besiege the capital.
By then, Da Qi might just die.
It's not like this has never happened before. In history, more than one empire perished after the imperial capital was raided and captured.
And the future example is theirs this time.
While he was thinking about it, suddenly, a group of soldiers appeared in front of him.
They were sent out as scouts.
If the army wants to move forward smoothly, it is naturally extremely important to find out the way forward.
Scouts usually use cavalry, so as to facilitate sudden transfers, etc.
The scouts in front came quickly.
The leader was a short man wearing simple leather armor. He was the scout captain Beili Tu relied on very much.
Scout captain Mon Ensi got off his horse and quickly came to Bei Litu.
"Commander, the end is coming."
Mohns has an extremely ordinary appearance. If he were thrown into a crowd, you would not be able to recognize him at all, and he would be easily ignored and forgotten.
It is naturally impossible for such a person to become the focus of everyone and shine brightly.
However, he is the best candidate to serve as a scout or spy.
Beili Tu said calmly: "What's the situation ahead? Is there any big movement in Sixiang City?"
"When I got back to the commander-in-chief, most of the soldiers in Sixiang City were there, and there wasn't much movement. Only General Yan Junning was summoning the soldiers, and the strong labor force in the city was preparing various defensive equipment on the city wall.
"Moen thought.
"Basically, everyone is here? Does that mean there are still some who are not here?" Beili Tu raised his eyebrows.
"A small group of cavalry quietly left the city, but there were not many."
Moen thought.
"There aren't many people, haha, it's not like they were escorting the county guard and a few other adults to escape, haha..."
Ulihan let out a contemptuous laugh.
"That's not certain. Aren't all civil servants in Daqi like this? They are more greedy for money than anyone else, and they can run for their lives faster than anyone else."
Yang Dingxing also started laughing.
Immediately, the several lieutenants next to him all started laughing.
"Okay, we can't underestimate the enemy. The lion fights the rabbit with all our strength. We don't want to make a big mistake."
