Chapter 919: Chang'an IV under the snowy night

"Captain Xu, thanks to the good battalion commander Zhang's fight, we won us two more hours, twenty hours, two hundred miles, no problem, right?" Huangfu Song looked at Xu Huang and smiled.

In Huangfu Song's opinion, Xu Huang has the highest qualifications among the three commanders under him. As long as he trains himself well, he will be alone in the future.

"Don't worry, General, I have made a mobilization. Everyone knows the significance of this battle and is mentally prepared."

"Okay, go!"

As the sky darkens, the temperature continues to drop, snowflakes fall, and the difficulty of marching continues to rise.

Fortunately, under such wind and snow, the beacon tower built by Tian Jing also lost its effect. Under the enthusiastic embrace of gunpowder, they opened their arms one by one and showed Xu Huang his internal structure.

After another beacon tower was captured, Xu Huang estimated the time and found that it was almost dawn. He ordered the soldiers to rest and have dinner around the beacon tower, while looking out the map and making up.

Many sergeants who had been walking for a night kept sitting on the ground with a thud as soon as they received the rest order. Although they were fully prepared, such forced marching still consumed too much physical strength for the sergeant.

"No need to look at it. I walked for six hours and stopped. It was only sixty miles away. It was too slow!" Huangfu Song walked into the beacon tower and said to Xu Huang, while Zhang Xiu followed him.

"General, the soldiers are already leaving desperately."

"Captain Xu, Ci is not in charge of the troops. Now is not the time to feel sorry for the soldiers!" Huangfu Song deliberately mentioned the two young talents Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu, and said, "Tian Jing set up a beacon tower every ten miles, and we also took six along the way. Judging from the situation of these six beacon towers, their beacon towers have few troops, and each beacon tower is only 100 people. And just as the Chief of Staff judged, under the wind and snow, it is not only difficult for them to discover us, but also difficult for them to ignite the beacon fire.

You see, the wind and snow are getting heavier now, but things will turn back when extremes are the same. Such heavy wind and snow cannot last for too long. Once it passes, our entry will be declared failure.

The opportunity to fight must not be missed!"

As he said that, Huangfu Song came to the map, slid across the road and said, "The rest of the road must be walked to the end in one breath. Only one squadron of soldiers on the beacon tower on the road can be attacked with gunpowder.

And we have brought so many white armors, so it must be of some use, right?"

After hearing this, Xu Huang felt it was very helpful, but Zhang Xiu asked worriedly, "But so forcing the soldiers to march, aren't you afraid of the soldiers' mutiny?"

Huangfu Song smiled and said, "If a soldier mutinied because of unfair treatment, it is the general's fault. If he mutinied because of hard work, it is the general's incompetence. In the past, Wu Zi had food and clothing with the lowest soldiers. He lay down without a seat, did not ride, and personally wrapped and won the food. The soldiers had abscess. Wu Qi sucked the pus for the soldiers, so the soldiers could die. The soldiers could travel a hundred miles in half a day, and fought for seventy-two, and won sixty-four in total. The rest were all solved. You should follow it!"

Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu responded with gratitude in unison, knowing that Huangfu Song was teaching them how to govern the army.

Xu Huang then only let the soldiers rest for two hours and continued to order the marching. As Huangfu Song said along the way, the Chang'an army in the beacon tower could not ignite the smoke even if they found Xu Huang and others. Instead, they were touched by the elite soldiers wearing white clothes and armor, and then slaughtered them all.

Xu Huang rode his horse and saw a soldier not far ahead falling down because the road was slippery. He hurriedly got out and helped him up and shouted, "Brother, how about it?"

The soldier was pulled up by Xu Huang, but he didn't see clearly who was helping him up. While standing up hard, he cursed, "What a broken road? Let's go like this when we are on the heavy snowy day. Xu Huang's conscience was also eaten by the dog!"

Xu Huang's face was stiff when he was scolded, but when he thought of Huangfu Song's teaching, he not only wasn't angry, but said apologetically, "This is all for taking Chang'an. In this way, my body is better than you. I will ride my horse for you, so you can rest."

The soldier then looked up and found that the person who pulled him up was the commander Xu Huang. He was so scared that he was about to kneel down on the spot.

"Oh, get up quickly, brothers! I know everyone is working hard, so am I!

But in order to shed less blood, everyone can only sweat more now. After this battle, I invite the whole army to have a good meal. Come on, brothers, get on the horse!”

"Captain, I was wrong. I can leave. Please let me go... Besides, you are a general, how can you not ride a horse?"

"Listen to me, see that your legs are shaking. You're falling a lot. Get on my horse! When the war starts, you can return the horse to me!"

As he said that, Xu Huang forced the soldier to his horse and then led the horse forward.

When the other soldiers saw Xu Huang leading the horse and pulling a person wearing ordinary sergeant's clothes, they couldn't help but inquire about it. After learning the whole story, they all encouraged each other and could not fall behind because of the hard work of marching on snowy nights.

With the commander Xu Huang as the leader, other officers gave up their mounts and rode the weak soldiers. Then, no one knew which instructor led it, the entire army suddenly sang the song that had been circulating in this Guanzhong area for hundreds of years.

"Why do you say you have no clothes? You are in the same comrade with your son. The king set up his army and repaired my spear. He is in the same vengeance with you!

Is it true that I have no clothes? I am in the same vein as my son. The king raised his troops and repaired my spear and halberd. I worked with me!

Do you say you have no clothes? You have the same clothes as you. The king of you will build your army and build your armor and soldiers. You will walk with you!"

After Huangfu Song learned about this in the back team, he smiled and clapped his hands, "There are successors to our Han army!"

Although it was late at night and the wind and snow were blowing heavily, Xu Huang's soldiers were running together and actually walked to Quyang at the time of the night. At this time, there were nearly five hours before dawn.

"Legislative Commander, Qu Yang is two miles ahead. This damn Fengxue, our scouts almost hit the city wall!"

"If it weren't for this wind and snow, where could we get here, the telescope!"

Huangfu Song took the telescope and looked into the distance, but the wind and snow were too heavy, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Let the scout ride north to the Wei River and then west to see if he can bypass Quyang." Huangfu Song suddenly had a bold idea as he looked at the heavy wind and snow.

"promise!"

When they learned that they had arrived in Quyang, Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu rushed to the front team, and the scouts rushed back.

"Report! There are no bandit troops stationed by the Wei River, so you can indeed bypass Quyang!"

Huangfu Song asked some details carefully, then nodded and smiled, "It was indeed not as expected by me. Although Quyang City has been expanded, time is limited, and the city wall cannot be built to the edge of the Wei River.

Commander Xu, there are still two hours before dawn, so why don’t we go around Quyang and go straight to Chang’an?”

Go directly to Chang'an?

Not to mention Xu Huang, who is cautious by nature, even Zhang Xiu, who is dedicated to gaining fame, is frightened by Huangfu Song's boldness.
