In the evening, it started to snow.

At the beginning, there were rustling snow particles, and a layer of white quickly accumulated on the ground.

The snow particles are sandwiched with some raindrops.

This is not the first snow this year.

Fortunately, although the Qin army mobilized this time, most of the troops deployed on the frontier were recruited. This time, there was a defensive counterattack plan, so in the cold weather, the north wind was whistling outside and snow was snowing, but the soldiers were stationed in various fortress castles, and they were all mobilized nearby to adjust defenses.

The castle has also prepared all food, grass and weapons, and this time there is no need to mobilize too many civilians or other transfer food, grass and weapons.

It was snowing outside, but everyone was able to shelter the wind and roast the fire in the castle, and there were also hot and delicious meals.

In addition to working harder when I was on duty, it was quite pleasant for everyone to gather together to chat and brag.

"This snow is really falling in time."

Duan Zhixuan looked at the snowflakes getting heavier and he said with a smile. At this time, he followed Luo Keyong in Woye Town north of Yinshan, Hetao.

This military town, built in the north of the mountain, is located in the key transportation area north of Hetao. The military town is a three-city and a convex shape.

The middle city of Junzhen is long and large, protruding to the south, three miles wide from east to west, six miles long from north to south, and two cities are slightly smaller from east to west.

The middle city is the county and county town of the fertile county, the east city is the military city, and the west city is the Cang city.

As a city in Guansai Army, its layout is more important than war defense, urn city, sheep and horse wall, trenches, suspension bridges, enemy horse faces, and corner towers.

The place where Woyejun Town was established was actually not dangerous, and the north of the mountain was smoother and gentler.

There are gentle slopes around the city, and a lot of fields have been reclaimed outside the city. Although the mountains are dry, it is okay to plant some drought-resistant crops. On the other hand, it is more appropriate to plant forage.

However, in winter, the crops and grass outside the city had long been cut off. Because Tiel's people went south, they specially sent official troops to burn the grass again.

The blackness of the grass burned everywhere is gradually covered by the snow.

Although Woye Town has no advantage in geographical advantages, the castle is also very strong. What's more, there is not only this military town in the north of the mountain, but also hundreds of beacons and military forts of all sizes.

"Why do you think this Ni is so stupid? You have to choose this season to send troops?"

A military officer asked Duan Zhixuan.

"If Nishu is smart, he shouldn't have any idea of ​​Nan Feng. He is not smart at all. Now he is full of his mind to be Xue Yantuo Khan, thinking about how to kill the Uighurs, so he can't even care about anything else."

Normal grassland tribes invade south, and the best season is autumn. The autumn is high and the horses are fat, and it is a good time to send troops. The weather is not hot and the horses are strong. You can eat some grass along the way. If you can attack the Central Plains, the rivers will almost freeze, which will be more conducive to siege cities and plundering land.

But who has a choice?

In the past, the Central Plains guarded the border mainly by guarding the Great Wall, but the Great Wall line was so long that there were often more remains and abandoned behind the Great Wall. There was no need to guard the Great Wall defense line on the Great Wall defense line. Once there was a war, the long line was to be guarded in the rear, which was the flaws everywhere.

But the Great Qin guards the border differently, and the Great Qin does not build the Great Wall.

The Qin Dynasty had even set its defense line forward for hundreds or even thousands of miles away from the Great Wall. The Qin Dynasty guarded the border, one was to build beacons and the other was to immigrate and farm.

There are many people on the border, castles and villages are everywhere, and the soldiers are sophisticated that they are full of food and equipment.

There are no loopholes to exploit, and there are no blind spots wherever you come.

The imperial court did not need to temporarily dispatch large troops from the Central Plains. It only needed to recruit troops nearby on the border or allocate them to defend the border, and there was no need to do anything to transport grain and weapons from the Central Plains.

The Central Plains are waiting for their hard work, and the north is tired from afar, and they can only face those strong fortresses.

"I want me to tell you that we can actually take the initiative to attack. It's so cool to think that Huo Piqiu goes deep into the desert and defeat the Huns."

"Of course we can do it, but it doesn't need it."

Duan Zhixuan shook his head.

For the Qin Dynasty, the Tiel people in Mobei were a potential threat, because the imperial court was indeed unable to truly control the land of Mobei. It could only be enfeoffment, but so far away, some people would always be dishonest.

For example, Xue Yantuo's Nishu was a little disobedient, but it was not necessary to say that the court sent troops to Mobei because of this.

Once, even if the expedition in the Mobei Land defeated Nishu, the imperial court would not be able to stay and garrison, and it would be even more impossible for them to plow the fields and raise cattle there.

If you retreat after the battle, it will be even more unpaid. No matter how much you say, it is still relatively expensive to fight, and there are great risks in expeditions of thousands of miles.

The court decided at the beginning that it was to internally transform the northern part of the Mohe area, so the later Uighur alliance was found, which made Xue Yantuo unable to occupy the northern part of the Mohe area.

Now Xue Yantuo is anxious to jump over the wall and refuses to sit and wait for death. The court does not intend to take the initiative to attack. Just let the Uighurs fight with them, and it is best to fight Xue Yantuo and the others lose both. Even if Xue Yantuo is anxious to come and bite the Central Plains, he is not afraid.

Let them come, we guard, wait for work, and then defend against counterattack.

"Our purpose is to weaken the power of Mobei, not to occupy Mobei, so we can defeat the other side on this border, so why do we have to go thousands of miles to fight in Mobei? How tiring!"

It has been difficult to control Monan Capital. Throughout history, how many dynasties have been able to control Monan Capital?

On a storm and snowy morning, Xueyantuo's army finally appeared in front of Woye Town.

Luo Ke climbed up to the city and watched the enemy formation.

On the top of the city, the Qin generals were very calm. They had known about the arrival of Xueyantuo's army for a long time. Beacon tower stations along the way were constantly conveying the military situation of Xueyantuo's people.

The scouts also ran on the grassland day and night.

Outside the city, Nishu was wearing a bear-skin robe and looked at the huge military town ahead.

Above the vast snowfield, a huge city stands there abruptly.

He turned his head and looked behind him.

Countless army troops.

Two hundred thousand people went south, and here were only 80,000 of the forwards, and there were more than 100,000 behind.

Looking at the three cities of woye, the Xueyantuo people were not very excited.

After crossing the vast desert and sand sea, they were already very tired. It was too hard to march in the cold and cold seasons.

I thought it would be better if I left the desert and arrived in the south of the desert.

As a result, the grass was burned.

As they headed south, the horses were hungry, but fortunately they had gained weight in autumn and could support them. But when they saw the Qin people's castle village and wanted to grab one, they found that these small castles were unexpectedly tenacious and strong.

After several times, Nishu did not dare to delay the attack. He directly ordered the beacon pier of the castles along the way to rush straight towards Hetao.

On the woye town.

Luo Ke, who had a cold face, asked his personal soldiers to raise his flag.
