Chapter 393 Snow Night One

The Central Plains in February are already the tail of winter, but in the northern country outside the border, it is still cold and the strong white-haired wind roars on the grasslands in the north of the desert. You are a furious tyrant waving a whip and whipping everything in the world. The whistling wind swept a large area of ​​snowflakes flying all over the sky, piece by piece, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, fluttering, without stopping. The vast and undulating grasslands were soon covered by thick snow, and the bitter air seemed to solidify, wanting to freeze all creatures into ice lumps.

This is already the first snow after the New Year, it is the snow that everyone expected. No one expected that today's early spring was so cold.

The heavy snow had greatly hindered Rangan's retreat plan. The wind was strong and the snow was heavy. The speed of the tribes gathered slowly. Moreover, with such heavy snow, it was difficult to carry tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people on the vast snowfield. However, the heavy snow also made Rangan feel a little lucky. With such heavy snow, it was difficult for him to retreat, and Dulan and Datou's soldiers were even worse. The heavy snow was flying and the cold air was so cold that he could stop temporarily, hide in the camp where he spent the winter, roasting fire and drinking horse milk tea. At this time, Dulan and Datou's soldiers could only be frozen, hungry and advanced and retreating. Maybe these damn guys would retreat because of this. Especially for Dulan's troops attacking from the south, ※↓ They had to cross the vast desert. In such weather, how could these people cross that desert?

He summoned wizards and asked them to observe the astronomical phenomena day and night, asked them to divine and pray, pray for the blessing of immortality, and pray that the blizzard would come more violently. As for the blizzard in early spring, it would inevitably hit the hungry cattle and sheep, and he could no longer care about it. He wished that the blizzard would come even harder to stop the attack of Du Lan and Datou. As for the disaster, it was a question to be considered in the future. As long as he could pass the present level, even if he was really affected by the disaster, he could still seek assistance from the Great Sui Dynasty. The current emperor of the Central Plains was his father-in-law.

The heavy snow had been falling for two days and had not stopped yet. However, Yangan still felt that the snow was not heavy enough and could not completely stop the enemy's troops from marching. He hoped that the immortal god would give him a huge wind and snow. The wizards were very depressed about the request of the Khan of the North. What the herders were most worried about was this late spring cold. A blizzard would freeze to death by the cattle and sheep that had finally survived the long winter. It made countless herders impoverished, but the cocoa khan was better, but he still hoped that the snow would come even louder.

What disappointed Ashina Rangan was that after two consecutive days of heavy snow, the snow began to weaken again, but it did not stop. The wind was strong and the snow was gushing, but it did not meet his expectations. The wizards told Rangan that there would not be a big blizzard in these days, but looking at the clouds, it seemed that in a few days, there might be a big blizzard on the grassland. A very violent blizzard.

This result made Rangan completely restless.

If there is a blizzard now, you don’t have to rest as much as you are so restless. Just wait for the wind and snow in the camp before leaving, or you don’t have to leave. The big blizzard will clean up the invading enemies. But now there is only light snow for a while, and there will be heavy snow in a few days. This makes it difficult for him to decide. Stay behind, and the enemy will likely take the risk of killing at this time. Now on the road. Then they may encounter this big blizzard halfway.

He was worried and could not get out of the way.

Several tribes' Qi Jin asked him to stay in the camp for the time being and waited to avoid the blizzard before going on the road. At this time, I drove my family to drive cattle and sheep on the road. I encountered heavy wind and snow on the way, and then countless cattle and sheep and even the population would die. Even if I wanted to leave, I would have to survive the heavy wind and snow before going.

Rangan was hesitant and finally accepted the request of Shi Jin and others. At this time, he insisted on leaving and could not achieve the original plan. With this heavy storm and snow a few days later, many tribes would definitely choose to stay in the camp and refused to come. So, there were too few people who followed him to retreat.

The bitter west wind whistled all night. In the early morning, the wind was slightly weaker, and the snowflakes still began to fall. The sky was dark, but it was much smaller than the previous two days. The cattle were barking, and the dried camp seemed to be quieter among the rising snowflakes. Most of the soldiers and herdsmen were still in the tents and in the warm embrace of the women.

At this moment, just three hundred miles southwest of the Tuli Little Khan's camp, it was a different scene. Dulan Khan's younger brother Ashinasunis, took his son, Nashinazhong and his cousin Ashina's social power, and there were Datou Khan's nephew Ashina Lifa, who came from the Western Regions, and others reunited in the snow. Behind them were three thousand elite cavalry sent by Dulan and Datou. They were all accompanied by Silver Wolf Guards, all of whom were Blue Turkic Warriors of Pure Blood. They wore wolf battle flags, wore chain armor, fox fur, ox horn helmets, and felt boots. They rode three horses, and they all chose white war horses, empty saddle horses carrying dry food and grass, and the people and horses were tied up. Lilyo stood quietly in the snow. From a distance, it looked like a snow-covered slope.

The four special agents gathered together and drew many lines on the snow.

"There will be a big blizzard in two days. We are now three hundred miles away from Rangan's camp." Du Lan's younger brother Suni Shi gesturing on the snow with a branch, informing the other three secret servicemen of the latest information.

Ashin Zhong of Suni lost his son Niu Qing said worriedly: "I heard from experienced scouts that it will be a huge blizzard in two days. I think we have to find a shelter in advance, set up camps, and chase after the blizzard."

Datou's nephew Ashnashiliva shook his head, "I don't think so, on the contrary, because of this blizzard, I think we should speed up the march."

"Why? We will suffer a big blizzard on the way and we will suffer huge losses and be buried by the blizzard." Ashinazhong said.

"No, things can't be seen like this. In fact, when a blizzard comes two days later, we will hide from the wind and snow in a comfortable tent." Shi Lifa is full of confidence.

Several people looked at him in confusion.

"Look." Qi Lifa pointed to the map temporarily drawn on the snow, "Rangan is now three hundred miles away, but we are three horses alone. Even if we slow down on wind and snow, we can reach Rangan's camp for up to two days, or even a day and a half."

"Ke Rangan already knows that we are here, and by then they will definitely have rushed to the east and we can't catch up with them."

"No, Rangan won't leave. With such heavy wind and snow, they fled with their tribal herders' families and even cattle and sheep. With such heavy snow, they will definitely have to wait for the blizzard to go on the road. This is our great opportunity. We approached unexpectedly and directly took Rangan's camp, and then we can comfortably avoid the wind and snow in Rangan's tent, and then we will pass away the wind and snow in Rangan's tent, and then we will pass by triumphantly."

After waiting for the Li Fa, the rest of the people were lit up.

"It's worth taking a risk." As the chief general of this cavalry, Asunahi Liba finally made up his mind.

Suni and the other two nodded in agreement at the end. After discussing it briefly, they each got up and returned to the team. Shi Lifa jumped onto his snow-white battlefield, waved his hand, and the three thousand cavalry started again and set off in the floating snow.

Shi Lifa's goal was clear. This time, the target village of their elite vanguard was Rangan. Shooting people first, and capturing the thief first, and capturing the king first. For Rangan, who was determined to join the Sui Dynasty, neither Datou and Dulan could tolerate him. They also knew that Rangan was preparing to flee east and attached to the Sui Dynasty, which was absolutely not allowed. Shi Lifa brought three thousand elite cavalry to advance first, and would attack Yangan camp with lightning speed and capture Yangan in one fell swoop. Although Rangan was the little khan in the north and one of the seven tribes of the Turkic Khanate, Dulan and Datou believed that as long as they could take Yangan down in one fell swoop, the tribes affiliated with Rangan would never really fight against them for Rangan.

The wind and snow were falling, and waiting for Lifa, three thousand cavalrymen were staggering in the snow for two days and two nights. The road was difficult to walk, the snow was thick, the north wind cut the surface like a knife, and the legs were covered with ice and snow. If it weren't for the early preparation, one person brought three horses, I was afraid that these 300 miles would make them spend more time in the plowing. Those war horses that were as strong as flying were struggling all the way in the wind and snow. Along the way, they marched for just two days, and many war horses were frozen to death.

Fortunately, there were preparations on the road. Each horse prepared three horses and had enough clothes to keep the cold. Before leaving, he even specially equipped a batch of cold-proof items: white wine. This kind of white wine produced in Huaihuang was sold into the hands of the Turks through the merchants of the Central Plains, which was extremely expensive. Three pounds of white wine per jar had to be exchanged for another horse. The Sanqian Fuli Wolf Cavalry who went on this expedition brought a jar of white wine. When he was numb, he drank two sips and came back alive. With his will and the white wine, they successfully arrived near the camp of the desolate camp before the blizzard came.

In this vast snowy and snowy place, none of Rangan's subordinates noticed the sudden attack of this cavalry. Rangan did not receive any alarm from beginning to end.

The messengers sent by Rangan to various departments have retreated one after another. The leaders of each department have received Rangan's notice to suspend retreat and relocation. After the blizzard has passed, they will make a decision based on the specific information. If the enemy retreats due to the blizzard, they will not rush to move eastward. They can wait until the warmer is better before leaving, or simply don't have to leave. If the enemy continues to come after the blizzard, then they will immediately continue to set off at that time.

It is precisely because of this order that all tribes have withdrawn their stalking alert these days. When they think that a blizzard is coming, the enemy will not be able to march on the snowfield at this time. If they do that, they are looking for death. The blizzard will bury them on the snowfield. Everyone is busy fixing the tent, preparing the cow dung for the fire, strengthening the cattle and sheep pen, and then lying in the tent to burn the fire and go to bed. In such heavy winds and snowstorms, they have to try to avoid going out. Hiding in the tent to hide from the wind and snow is the most correct choice.
