Chapter 1468: The Han Banner World (158) The Battle in the Heavy Snow (Part 2)
Tian Lei lay in the snow and did not dare to move, for fear that a slight movement would attract the shooting of crossbow arrows. He was a veteran and knew that any soldier was in a state of high tension at this time. As long as he had any movement that might cause the other party to unexpectedly, he would immediately go to the King of Hell to report.
Several Han soldiers slowly leaned over, and one of them slowly squatted down, groping Tian Lei's weapons, swords, crossbows, daggers, rope covers, etc. were taken down one by one and thrown aside. When all the weapons in his body were removed, the Han soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and Tian Lei himself also breathed a long sigh.
Now, he was no longer threatening them. He was pulled from the ground, and his rope was now a weapon to tie him up. A Han army officer said something, which made Tian Lei feel that his hope of living increased greatly.
"Bundle loosely, don't tie it too tightly. This is a ghost weather, if it tie it too tightly, his arms will be ruined."
Feeling that the rope that was originally stretched very tightly suddenly loosened a few levels, Tian Lei almost wanted to cry and wanted to say thank you to the Han army officer.
In this kind of weather, if you are tied too tightly, as a scout, he will certainly know the consequences.
The Han army officer who was talking walked to Tian Lei, and at the same time, more Han soldiers appeared around him. Looking at the other party's equipment, Tian Lei really wanted to cry.
The white cotton jacket is covered with black iron armor, and a thick quilt-colored cloak is added to the outside. The helmet is also covered with a layer of white cloth. A head hood is worn on the head, which tightly blocks the face, leaving only two eyes outside. The hands are white gloves, and the whiteness of the whole body makes them one with the snow field. When they stand there and don’t move, you will not be able to see their existence at all without walking in front of you.
Compared with the other party, the Qin army is just a group of beggars! As a veteran, although Tian Lei is not superstitious about weapons, he knows very well that good weapons and equipment can greatly improve the battlefield survival rate of soldiers, especially in such bad weather.
"A scout captain!" The Han officer looked at Tian Lei and laughed. "I finally caught a living one day today. Grandma's. Now I'm ready, I'll send him to the commander immediately."
Helanxiong is also quite annoyed now because in this weather, he could not find where the opponent's main force was. In the past two days, his scout team has raided everywhere, looking for the opponent's camp, but he has confronted the opponent many times and annihilated a lot, but no one is alive, which makes Helanxiong very annoyed. He can only use the radius of the opponent's scout activities to guess the approximate position of the enemy.
This kind of weather was not what Helanxiong hoped. Only when Tian Lei was sent to him did he breathe a sigh of relief. Judging from the other party's age and reaction, although he was just a low-level officer, he was a veteran. He should have known a lot.
Tian Lei was also very happy. Facing Helanxiong, he revealed without any concealment about the location of the camp, the number of soldiers and food preparations in the camp.
Looking at the detailed map drawn by Tian Lei on the ground, Helanxiong was surprised to find that he and Gou Xin's camp were only a few more than ten miles apart. Heavy snow and strong winds made each other lose their sense of direction. No one saw each other at a distance. It would be much easier to know the specific location of the enemy.
When he watched Tian Lei betrayed by two soldiers and walked to the door of the tent, Helanxiong suddenly said, "Why do you want to betray your comrades?" To be honest, Helanxiong doesn't like such soldiers.
Tian Lei was stunned for a while, and he turned around and looked at Helanxiong, "I have old parents and wife in my family, and two daughters. I have served in the army for almost twenty years and have never let them live a good life. I don't want to die. I also want to support my parents in the old age and see them off, find a good family for my daughter, and compensate my wife who has worked hard all her life at home."
"And we can't win this battle." After a pause, he added. "Let the war end soon, or let more Qin people survive, Qin people like me."
Listening to Tian Lei's words, Helanxiong asked with interest: "How do you know that you must lose this battle? The two armies are fighting and they will talk about winning or losing before they start fighting. It's too early. I don't dare to be so sure."
Tian Lei smiled wryly and shook his head, "Same, exactly the same as the battle before a few days ago. That year, we fought to Dayan County, but we were stubbornly attacked somewhere. Then your cavalry cut off the retreat and cut off the food route. More than 100,000 troops were in the grassland. General Li Xin and General Wang Xiao died in battle. This time, it was very similar to the last time."
"That war you participated in?" Helanxiong asked in surprise.
"Yes, I escaped by luck, but this is fate. I'm here again. This time, I'm not lucky." Tian Lei sighed.
Helanxiong laughed, "No, it should be said that you have good luck. You can live and support your parents in their old age and see them off. I can also tell you that after the war is over, you will live a good life, a good life you have never thought about before."
"Thank you, the general for not killing him." Tian Lei burst into tears. There is naturally no need to deceive such a big man. This life was saved. At this moment, he suddenly missed his family extremely.
Damn war, end soon.
After obtaining the exact location of the enemy camp, the Han army camp immediately became busy. Tian Lei was escorted by several soldiers and passed through the busy camp. He was surprised to see teams of soldiers carrying weapons and carrying two boards to the assembly site. Groups of dogs, deer, like horses and cows, were put on reins, pulled sleds, and drove out of the camp.
After a while, Tian Lei passed through the obstacle formed by the barbed wire and saw the Han soldiers like arrows, and with both hands, they slid far away on the snow. He suddenly realized the role of the two boards. Seeing the other party exceeding the galloping horse, Qin Lei lowered his head silently. In such heavy snow and soft weather, the war horses could not run at all. When the Qin army was surrounded by the superior Han army, the outcome was self-evident.
Like Helanxiong, Gouxin was very annoyed and nervous, and he had always surrounded him because the scouts sent yesterday had not come to this day. More importantly, the scouts of the five teams were in the same direction. None of them came. There was only one reason. They encountered the enemy. A large number of enemies could wrap his five teams of scouts and swallow it in one mouthful. It would never be a small-scale army.
This made Gouxin a little confused. If it was a large-scale enemy, where did they come from? Could it be that they came from the direction of the dragon? This is unlikely. The large army of Qin was in which direction. The Han people had insufficient troops to deal with them. How could they send people to come here in a big circle? Besides, how did they come? During this period, Gouxin suffered a lot.
But no matter what, he must release this alarm.
"Notify the entire army, get on the horse, and prepare for battle." Gouxin decided that no matter what it was or who the opponent was, he must figure it out.
Two armies were walking towards each other in the wind and snow.
The wind blew harder and the snow fell even harder. The wind slapped the snowflakes and hit the face, which almost made people unable to open their eyes. The sight was tens of meters away and almost reached the limit. The war horses were struggling forward in the wind and snow. The wind was blew irregularly, sometimes east and west, sometimes south and sometimes north, making the snow danced into a ball in the air, and even more difficult to move forward. In order not to get lost, the Qin cavalry had to slow down, connect the tails, and move forward one after another. The cavalry tried to lower their bodies and lean on the war horses to avoid the blows of the wind and snow.
Helanjie lowered his body, supported his iron rod with both hands and slid several meters above the snow. He enjoyed the feeling of moving forward in the wind and snow. From time to time, snowflakes hit his eye mask. As a senior general, he was equipped with goggles. These goggles were high-end goods, and there were not many in the entire army.
The distance between the two sides was shortening rapidly, but one was moving very fast, while the other was struggling forward. Both sides collided without warning in the wind and snow.
When Helanjie saw the cavalry team more than ten meters away, he was on a downhill section and it was impossible for him to stop the snowboard flying forward. His head and the soldiers behind him were also widened his eyes in horror.
"Add, go forward, don't stop." Helanjie roared loudly, regardless of whether the soldiers behind him could hear it. He threw away the pole in his hand as fast as possible, pulled out the scimitar at his waist, leaned his legs slightly, jumped up, almost exceeding the galloping horse, and immediately soared into the air and landed towards the cavalry team in front from the air.
"Don't stop, add, add!" At this moment, the Han army, which was usually well-trained, responded much faster than the Qin army. The soldiers behind Helanjie shouted desperately one after another. They imitated Helanjie's appearance, threw away the pole, bent their knees and jumped up, flew into the air one by one, and landed towards the enemy.
The sound of the scimitar slashed the enemy, and the rumbling sound was that when the Han soldiers did not grasp the angle and crashed into the enemy's horses, they knocked the enemy, the people and horses, and themselves to the ground. The sound of shouting for killing in the wind and snow was louder. A bunch of blood was flying in the snow.
The news of the sudden encounter with the enemy reached Helanxiong. He laughed loudly. Under a series of orders, the two armies surrounded each other, one on the left and one on the right. It was just right here and swallowed the opponent in one bite. (To be continued.)
