Chapter 257 Recovering Houting

   “Yuan commander.”

  A deep voice pulled Yuan Hao back from his murderous fantasy.

  Resisting the impatience in his heart, Yuan Hao looked back at the person who came, and said with a smile:

   “General Zhou, are you ready?”

  The Houting County area is the first line of defense established by Dayan to prevent the barbarians from going south, and it has been in operation for a long time.

  It is composed of three cities mainly in Houting County, and twelve permanent camps. They are horns of each other and stretch for hundreds of miles from east to west.

   After taking over the mixed iron cavalry who went south for reinforcements, after a short rest, he and several commanders urgently assigned the siege task.

  They had to take down the entire line of defense before Zong Qingsheng’s Chinese army arrived, and they were ready to meet the attack from the south at any time.

  General Zhou pondered slightly, and said in a low voice:

  ”I’m ready, but I went to check the snow near Houting County. It’s very deep. It may not be conducive to our large-scale siege.”

   “Snow?”

  Yuan Hao murmured, and glanced at the border town in the distance in the snow.

  It is considered heavy snow if the snow accumulation can cover the ankle, and it is considered as heavy snow if the snow accumulation can reach the height of a person.

  But the blizzard that lasted for several months in the northern border has already made the snow in this wilderness almost cover the century-old coniferous pine forest.

  The snow on the plain is seven to eight feet deep, and the snow five to six feet deep is considered shallow, and even some low-lying canyons are almost filled with snow.

  Heavy cavalry with men and beasts plus heavy armor can weigh several tons. It is impossible to let go of speed and attack in this kind of snowfield.

  This iron cavalry was able to travel thousands of miles south in half a day, entirely because of the high-level cultivators accompanying the army who took turns day and night to disperse the snow on the ground with their deep cultivation bases in front of them, providing support for the tens of thousands behind them. Heavy cavalry opened up a road in the snow sea.

   After pondering for a while, Yuan Hao laughed in a low voice:

   “No problem.”

  General Zhou hesitated when he saw this:

   “Commander Yuan, are you sure you only take one battalion to attack Houting?”

  Yuan Hao shook his head with a smile when he heard this:

   “General Zhou, as I said before, these cities in Houting County are basically empty cities, and there are more than enough troops for a battalion.”

   “Empty City.”

  General Zhou frowned when he heard this, and wanted to ask the other party’s source of information, but held back.

  They have been around Dali Mountain all the time, and they don’t know a lot of information, but this Yuan Hao came here by air, so he should know some information they don’t know.

  Silence for a moment,

  General Zhou sighed and arched his hands:

   “Since Commander Yuan, you already have hills and valleys, then Zhou will stop talking, and your luck will be prosperous.”

  Yuanhao’s grin:

   “Then Yuan has borrowed a good word from General Zhou.”

   paused,

  Yuan Hao asked again:

   “Also, General Zhou, don’t forget to detonate the Yunqi bomb immediately after I board the city. This is what Master Lou Ji meant.”

  Speaking,

  Yuan Hao didn’t care about the puzzlement in General Zhou’s eyes, and disappeared into the wind and snow with a single leap.

  Houting County Government, a separate courtyard.

   “Squeak——”

  With the sound of the wooden door of the wing room, a handsome man in loose nightgown walked into the courtyard from the wing room.

  While walking, he lazily raised his eyes to glance at the still groggy sky.

  As a fusion environment, he doesn’t need to sleep, but it would be too boring if he didn’t sleep.

  Because he was under house arrest.

  After being beaten up by that kid Xu Changtian, he saved his life and came outside Houting County, and was welcomed into the city by the general here, and he was immediately given the title of “” “Protection” under house arrest in this courtyard.

  Thinking of this,

  Li Yunqing has already walked into the dilapidated pavilion in the courtyard, sighing while dusting off the snow.

  Actually, house arrest is nothing. He has long been prepared to be under house arrest, but the key point is that these sects are not human beings, and the house arrest does not arrange any entertainment facilities for him.

  Not to mention asking the waiter to accompany you, you don’t even have a picture book to pass the time.

  In addition to sleeping, he can only sit in this courtyard and enjoy the snow in a daze.

  As for cultivation?

  Cultivation is impossible.

  If he continues to practice, if he doesn’t pay attention, he will have to break through to the third-rank grand master, and then his elder brother will probably have an opinion.

  In order to avoid brothers fighting against each other, it is better not to make such unnecessary temptations.

  Take out half a pot of monkey wine from the sumeru ring that he didn’t finish drinking yesterday, and Li Yunqing started a new day of boring snow appreciation.

  It’s a pity that under the heavy snow clouds in the sky, there is almost no difference between the light of the day and the night.

  If you don’t use the exercises, you can only see a piece of black stuff falling down, but if you use the exercises, you may be targeted by the frontier troops of the sect outside.

  Sending someone under the fence, in order to avoid being suspected of causing trouble, and then being missing, Li Yunqing finally chose to endure it.

  If it’s ugly, it’s ugly.

  Alive, not shabby.

  As Li Yunqing continued to drink cup after cup of fine wine, Li Yunqing was just a little drunk when he suddenly heard bursts of noise coming from outside the courtyard.

  Although there is no exercise method, the physical quality of the fourth-grade fusion state is here after all.

  At the beginning, the noise was so small that even Li Yunqing thought he had heard it wrong, because the guards in the county office were basically elites from the sect.

  Although it is impossible to make Mount Tai collapse in front of you without changing your face, you are still a group of veterans who have fought many battles, and the most basic orders and prohibitions in peacetime can still be done.

  But soon Li Yunqing dismissed this idea, because the noise spread in a short time.

  The county office seemed to become chaotic, and he even heard the neighing and hoofing of these monster horses.

  Someone is driving a horse in the county office?

   Are you running away?

   was silent for a few breaths,

  After deliberation, Li Yunqing gently placed the wine glass on the stone table, and was about to get up and go out to see the situation.

  The next moment,

  A sudden ray of light suddenly appeared in the sky, forming a ball of light about ten feet in size above the sky in the north of Houting County.

  The moment he saw the ball of light, Li Yunqing’s pupils shrank.

  He has seen this kind of light ball once.

  Cloud Qi Bomb.

   While thinking about it, the surface of the light ball in the sky has begun to crack layer by layer.

  The light scatters from the crack in the middle, so dazzling that it can almost blind people’s sight.

  At the moment when the light sphere was completely shattered, an invisible shock wave spread out instantly, and a emptiness of hundreds of feet appeared between the dark clouds in the sky!

  Among the mighty clouds, the impact did not continue to spread, but was suddenly sucked back when it reached a critical point, forming a circular high-pressure zone of about half a meter on the thick snow cloud layer .

  Also at this moment, the vision in the sky seemed to be paused.

  Everything was suddenly quiet and terrifying.

  The next moment,

  The violent hurricane spreads out from the high-pressure center!

  The wind pressure rolled over, and the snow clouds that stretched for thousands of miles receded towards the surroundings.

  After a breath,

  A ray of bright sunlight that belongs to noon falls on the ground.

  After two breaths,

  The wind pressure rolled over the snow that was several feet deep on the ground, and the hurricane almost bent the tree trunks on the ground.

  After three breaths,

  The sky is clear and the snow has cleared.

  Looking at the picture in front of me,

  Li Yunqing realized something, narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed, and sat back on the stone bench:

   “An ultimatum to the barbarian king and the sect? The movement is really big, tsk.”

   Calvin’s Dao Xin collapsed
