Inside the big tent.
After the generals heard this.
Their eyes lit up and they said, "General, what a good plan."
"You are worthy of being a general. Your strategy is probably not inferior to that of Mr. Yuanzhi." Zhao Ji laughed and flattered him subtly.
Others saw this.
He also immediately started to praise it.
"Hey!"
"More than that, I think the general's strategy is comparable to that of the prince."
"You still know how to talk."
"Okay, stop flattering us and go down and get ready. We only have half an hour." Listening to the flattery of the generals, Huo Qubing laughed and scolded again.
Let everyone go down and prepare quickly.
"Here."
Upon hearing this, the generals immediately became serious.
Respectfully retreat and prepare.
Fortunately, the above-mentioned place was not far from where they camped, and it would take only quarter of an hour to get there.
Time is not yet urgent.
"Lin Hu."
After the generals withdrew.
Huo Qubing then looked at his personal soldiers on the side.
He ordered him, "Contact Black Ice Terrace and ask them to go and clear out the barbarian scouts."
"Here."
Lin Hu responded respectfully.
He opened the big tent and left, going to contact the Black Ice Platform.
Black Ice Terrace.
There are a total of sixteen captains.
Each of the people under the command of the captain is responsible for a different area.
For example, Pei Kan in Chang'an was mainly responsible for intelligence.
Pei Kan was responsible for obtaining intelligence north of Chang'an in the entire Dawu Dynasty.
Other captains.
Some are responsible for assassinations, and some are responsible for following the Northern Army.
Some are also responsible for the various sects, families, etc. in the martial arts world. In short, everyone has their own responsibilities.
What can be said is.
The Black Ice Platform has now turned into an invisible net, covering the entire world.
There are people with black ice platforms in every walk of life.
But having said that.
But it has only been more than ten years since the Black Ice Platform came into being.
Some secrets are still unknown for the time being.
For example, there is still no clue about the identity of Empress Dowager Xiao.
All we know is that it has a close relationship with the White Lotus Sect.
"Set off."
But a quarter of an hour later.
The three thousand elite cavalry under Huo Qubing had already assembled.
At his command, the soldiers mounted their horses and rode away.
'Tap tap tap'
The sound of chaotic horse hooves.
It is particularly eye-catching in the lonely night.
Speechless all the way.
Apart from the sound of horse hooves, there was only the occasional chirping of insects and howling of wolves.
The night was gradually filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.
A little more vitality.
A quarter of an hour later, three thousand elite cavalrymen arrived at the designated location.
"Zhao Ji."
Look at the terrain in front of you.
Huo Qubing said in a deep voice: "You take 1,500 cavalry to the left, and the remaining 1,500 cavalry will ambush with me on the right. When the barbarian cavalry arrives, use torches as a signal. When the torches are lit, we will directly rain arrows at them."
"Here."
Zhao Ji accepted the order respectfully.
He immediately reined in his horse, turned around, looked at the generals following the two of them and said, "Zhang Yuan, Li Zhan, Ding Yan, follow me."
"Yes."
At Zhao Ji's call.
Fifteen hundred riders headed to the left.
It only took half a moment.
Three thousand elite cavalrymen had already ambushed on the left and right, waiting for the barbarian cavalry.
The terrain here is low-lying.
Although the gentle slopes on both sides are quite high, they are also very conspicuous.
If it's daytime.
I’m afraid that the barbarians can clearly see the ambush before they get within three hundred feet.
Fortunately, it is night now.
Since yesterday, the heavy snow has shown signs of stopping, and the thick dark clouds have gradually dissipated.
tonight.
The dark clouds have dispersed and the moonlight is just right.
The already white grassland looks even colder under the moonlight.
Under the moonlight, there were bloody corpses.
Fell into the snow.
It was buried in an inconspicuous place, covering up the smell of blood.
These corpses were exactly the scouts sent out by Yelu Wan, who were all intercepted and killed by Heibingtai.
There were many figures in the darkness.
Watching from afar.
Five hundred feet away.
A cavalry force with lit torches was marching towards them in a mighty force. From a distance, they looked like a fire dragon.
'Tap tap tap'
Although far apart.
But the chaotic sound of horse hooves was already clearly audible.
"coming."
Noticed this movement.
The soldiers ambushed on both sides responded at the command of Huo Qubing and Zhao Ji.
They dismounted from their horses and hid themselves.
The barbarian cavalry is very fast.
But in the blink of an eye.
They had already moved forward more than a hundred feet, and were only four hundred feet away from Huo Qubing.
"How far is it?"
"General, it's about five miles away."
"Hahaha."
Under the cold moonlight.
Yelu Wan laughed loudly and said, "My men, hurry up and chop off Huo Qubing's head tonight and bring it back for the eldest prince to drink with wine."
Yelu Wan's rough laughter.
It echoes endlessly in the empty grassland.
"court death."
Zhao Ji crouched and looked at Yelu Wan from afar.
His eyes grew colder.
He lowered his voice and said to the three generals beside him: "Leave this barbarian to me later. I will chop off his head myself and use it as a chamber pot for the general."
"Why?"
Li Zhan glared when he heard that.
He shouted in a low voice: "You said I would give it to you? I wanted to chop him up myself."
"That's right, why should I give it to you?"
Ding Yan made a sound of "Pooh" and cursed, "I will be the first to rush up and chop off his head first, and then we'll see if you can snatch it away from me."
"Don't make any noise."
"This guy is so arrogant that he even dares to threaten to chop off the general's head and use it as a wine for Zarha. He is simply courting death. I have reserved his head and none of you can get it." Seeing this, Zhang Yuan said without showing any weakness.
"Made."
I saw three people trying to grab the head.
Zhao Ji said angrily, "You dare to compete with me? Do you believe that I will make things difficult for you when I return?"
"Afraid you won't succeed?"
The three of them sneered and were about to curse.
Then Yelu Wan and his 5,000 elite cavalry had arrived at the low-lying area below.
"Stop messing around, be careful not to be discovered." Zhao Ji leaned over to take a look, and seeing that the barbarian cavalry were completely defenseless, he immediately made a gesture.
Several soldiers immediately tiptoed forward to pass on the order.
But in an instant.
One thousand five hundred soldiers.
A large bow appeared in everyone's hand, and they drew the string and aimed at the barbarians in the low-lying area.
The atmosphere of solemnity and murder becomes increasingly intense.
The faint sounds of insects and wolves howling also stopped at this moment.
in the air.
They all seemed to be filled with a cold murderous intent.
However, Yelu Wan was unaware of this and was excitedly imagining what kind of reward he would receive after he beheaded Huo Qubing and brought his head back.
"strangeness."
But up to this moment.
But still no scout came back to report.
Yelu Wan also felt something was wrong and put away his fantasies.
He frowned and looked up.
All I could see was the bright moon hanging high in the sky, which was then covered by a dark cloud.
Wind blows.
A bone-chilling chill struck.
Yelu Wan tightened his cloak over his armor, feeling inexplicably irritated, and cursed with a sullen face, "What a horrible weather! Why is the wind blowing all of a sudden?"
