Chapter 538: Time of the Day

Just outside Yu Zhiting, when Gao Shun attacked the Baibo army camp of Hu Cai's troops, Xi Zhicai, who was far away from Zhilu City, was wearing a cold winter cotton coat. Looking at the snowy night in front of him, he sighed.

"Hey? People's plan is not as good as God's plan. I didn't expect such a heavy snow to happen at this time. If I had expected this heavy snow, I wouldn't have to waste my time letting the army come here in vain, let alone let General Gao lead his troops to attack the enemy army in Hu Cai's army. When the road is blocked with heavy snow, and the sight is very low in the snow, you can directly attack any of Guo Tai and other three troops, and you can calmly arrange it in it, wipe out the three troops together, and then defeat Hu Cai's army, and successfully wipe out the 600,000 Baibo army. There is no need to let Gao Shun attack Hu Cai's army as originally thought, and after successfully transferring Li Le's troops to the north, then annihilate it, and then annihilate the Empress Dowager Guo on the straight road, and attack Yang Feng in the east and west directions. Or, the straight road side forces Guo Tai into the straight road city block, and surrounded and attacked the reinforcements. Now it is impossible."

Xi Zhicai stood in front of the curtain door, looking at the falling snowflakes, and sighed softly.

Just as Yang Tao thought, he wanted to take this opportunity to establish enough prestige in the army, but now he was messed up by the sudden heavy snow. Even if he could annihilate Guo Tai's troops, he could not wipe out all the enemy troops. This kind of authority-setting effect was much worse.

Xi Zhicai also knew in his heart that there would only be this opportunity to command the troops in the camp like this, and it would be difficult to have the next time. Naturally, he hoped to achieve the best effect of establishing authority: "But as I wish today, if this snow is the case, the mountain road leading to the straight road will be closed, and it will be difficult to march from Niyang to the straight road. Guo Taimen, who is not far from the straight road city, can still annihilate it, but Yang Feng and Li Lemen who are still near Niyang City cannot arrive. Under the heavy snow, the army can only stay near the straight road city city, and can't go anywhere. By the time we can march, the Baibo army, which has suffered heavy losses, may have retreated and there will be no chance to wipe them out. What's even more troublesome is that the mountain blocking will delay the army's northward formation of cavalry, and they will have to be criticized by the Marquis of the County."

"Forget it, since we cannot completely wipe out the enemy, we don't have to wait for news from General Gao. We will start to annihilate Guo Tai's troops tomorrow. As for the issue of heavy snow covering the mountain, we can only take one step at a time!"

...

This sudden heavy snow fell for a night and didn't mean to stop. By the next morning, it was just a little lighter, and in the afternoon, it was another heavy snow like goose feathers.

After a night of fierce battle in the Baibo army camp of Hu Cai’s troops outside Yuzhi Town, the entire camp has now become quiet. After a night of fierce battle, most of the snow during the day wrapped the entire camp under a vast white snowflake. Most of the traces left by the battle in the camp were buried by snowflakes. There was no fire or ruins. Only a few wisps of light smoke were left floating everywhere in the camp, proving that the battle last night did exist.

This time, Gao Shun used the cover of wind and snow to attack the Baibo army camp of Hu Cai's troops, which was very successful. He suffered very few losses of 10,000 troops, but he killed nearly 10,000 enemy troops and captured more than 50,000 people. The rest of the Baibo army soldiers fled everywhere during the chaos last night. However, most of the enemy generals were drunk last night, including Hu Cai, and most of them were captured by Gao Shun, which was considered to have taken down this camp with 100,000 enemy troops.

It was not only due to Fengxue, but also the reason why Hu Cai's troops were neglected to be prepared and most of the military generals in the camp were drunk.

Although the harvest of food, supplies and supplies was not much, it was enough for tens of thousands of soldiers to use it for more than half a month.

While counting the results of the battle in the camp, Gao Shun and others arranged the prisoners to be taken care of in a place, and arranged troops to guard the camp everywhere, so as not to leak the defenses of the camp.

And in the midst of the heavy snow, a figure walked towards the camp occupied by Gao Shun's troops in the snow deep into the thighs. When he saw a large Chinese-character flag floating on the gate dozens of meters away and a guerrilla captain of Jiaozhou, Gao Yi's flag, his wandering eyes immediately calmed down.

"It's really the Han army, it's great!" The visitor was none other than Yang Bin, the head of Yu Zhiting. Seeing the Han army flags planted in the camp, he hurried towards the gate. However, the heavy snow reached its thighs, and it was very difficult to walk in the snow. No matter how he wanted to get close to the gate quickly, it would be impossible.

After he approached within fifty meters, the soldiers at the gate found his traces among the snowflakes in the sky, pointed the arrows at him, shouting: "Stop!"

Seeing the arrow facing him, Yang Bin hurriedly said, "Don't shoot arrows, are you my own?"

Chen Daniu, the Yamen Gatekeeper who was guarding the gate, heard Yang Bin's words, a hint of confusion flashed across his rough face, "It seems that there are no soldiers from Jianghe Pavilion here. Could it be the Han army?" He shouted loudly to the person outside the gate: "Who is coming? Let's sign up!"

Hearing this loud shout, Yang Bin saw a general holding a big knife at the gate looking at him, and hurriedly took out a token from his waist and shouted to him: "Report to General, I am Yang Bin, the chief of Yu Zhiting, here is a token. I have something to ask to see General Gao!"

"I can't see it, throw the token up and let me see it!" Chen Daniu shouted at Yang Bin.

"No!" Yang Bin said as he threw the token in his hand hard. Chen Daniu reached out to catch it, looked at the token in his hand. It was indeed the token of Han* Pavilion Chief. He threw the token back to Yang Bin and replied: "You are waiting here, and someone will send someone to inform General Gao!"

"Okay, I'm here to wait!"

After Yang Bin waited outside the gate for more than ten minutes, the soldiers came to report and asked him to come in. Chen Daniu asked the soldiers to open the gate and let him enter the camp.

Yang Bin walked along the way and watched the soldiers passing by. Even though it was snowing now, he was still inspecting the camp. Some soldiers were carrying various shovels to clean up the snow in the camp. He immediately praised the Han army: "It is worthy of being the official Han army. This army is strict and orderly, but it is far from comparable to a certain army! As for the thief army like the Baibo army, it is even more incomparable to it. It is a world of difference! Or are we the elite Han army soldiers and horses!"

Yang Bin thought in his heart, but if he knew that the soldiers in front of him were also pretending to be the thief army that he disdained, he would not know what expression he would have.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Yang Bin came to the central army's tent. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw a majestic general sitting on the desk, lowering his head to process the official documents. Even when it was snowing, he was still processing the official documents at his desk, but he did not slacken at all. Yang Bin was solemn and bowed respectfully to Gao Shun, saying: "I guess this is General Gao, he is Yang Bin, the pavilion chief of Yuzhi Town nearby."

Hearing the sound, Gao Shun raised his head and asked, "I have heard from the soldiers before. What's the matter with you looking for me?"

Looking at Gao Shun's majestic appearance in front of him, Yang Bin seemed more respectful and said, "Yang came here this time, first, I want to thank the general for lifting my Yu Zhiting siege. Second, I have something to ask for with the general!"

"What's the matter?"

"Yang didn't know that General Gao would come before. Seeing that Yuzhi Town was likely to be captured by the Baibo thief army, he asked the people to escape from the secret passage in the town. Now Baibo's army has been annihilated by the general, of course, the people will return to Yuzhi. However, the secret passage leads to Xiegu Mountain, but there is a group of thieves on the mountain. Now Yuzhi Town is empty, only Yang. Therefore, I came here this time to hope that the general can send people to Yuzhi Town first, and then send people to pick up the people who fled to Xiegu Mountain." Yang Bin said nervously, and in his words, he wanted Gao Shun to send troops.

After hearing all Yang Bin's words, he looked at the thin middle-aged man in a garment in front of him, Gao Shun thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I will immediately send a team of troops to Yuzhi Town. In addition, Chen Daniu ordered Chen Daniu to lead 2,000 troops to welcome the people back. However, we are not familiar with the terrain near Yuzhi, and we still need the pavilion chief to lead the way for our soldiers and generals!"

"Yang is unavoidable to lead the way!" Yang Bin immediately said overjoyed when he saw Gao Shun agreeing.

"Okay, you can go with the messenger to meet Chen Daniu, and then take them to welcome the people back!"

"promise!"
