After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

After Zhao Zhenyuan finished speaking, he flicked the reins and said, "Go to the Black Forest."

Huo Ming finally came back to his senses, replied "yes", raised his whip quickly, and drove his horse towards the black woods.

The Black Forest on the outskirts of the city is called a Black Forest, but in fact it is just a few wooden stakes inserted in a valley, used to tie up horses.

This valley is the only way in and out of Hanhao City. Next to the wooden stake is a cave that can accommodate four or five people. Many people get tired after walking here, so they tie their horses to the wooden stake, go into the cave to roast a fire, eat something, and then continue on their way.

The King of Beixiang brought thousands of people to the Black Forest and waited for a long time, but did not see any people or even footprints.

The King of Beixiang felt that he had been fooled and was about to order his men to return to the city when suddenly a rumbling sound was heard and huge snowballs rolled down from the surrounding mountains one after another!

These snowballs came with great force, and before the King of Beixiang could even shout to retreat, the big snowballs hit them.

These snowballs would not kill people, but would scare horses. Among the more than a thousand people brought by the King of Beixiang, only about a hundred of them came on horseback, and the rest all followed on foot. Now that the horses were frightened, they all screamed uncontrollably, kicked and kicked. Many people were thrown off their horses, and those infantry soldiers who were hit were trampled by the horses before they could climb out of the snow piles, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Beixiang is located in an extremely cold place, and it is very difficult to nurture. These more than a thousand people are already Beixiang’s greatest national strength, but unexpectedly, more than half of them were killed or injured before the battle even started.

The King of Beixiang was so angry that he shouted, "Don't lose your composure. Control your horses and get out of the Black Forest."

Beyond the col, there is an endless glacier. This glacier is frozen all year round, and the ice surface is very solid. Horses can run on it without any problems. However, what the King of Beixiang did not know was that many ice holes had been dug on the ice surface beyond the col. These ice holes had not frozen yet, and only a layer of ice chips floated on them. If a horse passed by and stepped on the ice holes, it would definitely fall.

When the King of Beixiang and his men hurriedly fled from the Black Forest, he rode away on the glacier without hesitation.

However, as soon as they stepped into the glacier, many horses stepped on ice holes. Not only did the horses and the people fall down, but many of the horses that fell off were unable to avoid being stepped on by the horses behind them. For a while, there were constant screams and neighings on the ice. This scene could be called hell on earth.

The King of Beixiang was an extremely skilled martial artist, which was why no one dared to rebel against him even though he was incompetent and unjust.

When the front hoof of Beixiang King's horse stumbled and stepped into the ice cave, he had already jumped off the horse and stood steadily on the bank of the glacier.

The soldiers who were on foot were much safer. When the horses stumbled, they did not move forward, but just stood quietly on the river bank, watching the people writhing in pain on the ice without trying to rescue them.

At this time, a team of cavalrymen were riding horses and galloping towards the King of Beixiang in the distance. Soon, the team arrived in front of the King of Beixiang.

Running in the front was a young general wearing white armor, holding a long sword, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a majestic demeanor.

The young general rode his horse quickly to the front of the King of Beixiang, dismounted quickly, knelt down and paid his respects.

Beixiang King looked at the wounded soldiers and horses on the ice, his face as dark as ink. He asked without turning his head, "Is the matter settled?"

The cavalrymen behind the young general also arrived. They all dismounted and knelt on the ground. The King of Beixiang did not let them stand up to answer, so they could only kneel on the cold snow, not daring to move.

The young general brought with him forty or fifty cavalrymen. These people were the most elite military elites of Beixiang and the trump cards of the king of Beixiang.

Beixiang was far away from other countries and had good relations with Dayu, the most powerful of the four countries, so no one dared to attack Beixiang. Since there was no war, the people of Beixiang were not very good at fighting. The horses that Beixiang brought with them this time were usually used to transport goods or go hunting. Many of the horses that stumbled on the ice cave had broken bones, and it was unknown whether they could be ridden again in the future. The king of Beixiang was furious at the loss of so many horses.

The young general lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty, as long as we hand over Zhao's body to them, they will agree to give us two cities on the border of Dayu in exchange."

The Lord of Beixiang laughed coldly and said, "The corpse of the man surnamed Zhao could actually be exchanged for two cities. I underestimated him."

The young general thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the man surnamed Zhao is the god of war praised by the people of Dayu. If we kill him, I'm afraid it will arouse the wrath of the king of Dayu, and I'm afraid he will fight us to the death. Now our army has less than 80,000 people, and they are scattered. It's not easy to gather them. If the Dayu army attacks, we're afraid, afraid..."

The young general didn't dare to utter the three words "will destroy the country".

The King of Beixiang then lowered his head and looked at the young general kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "General Gu, are you questioning my decision?"

The young general couldn't help but shudder all over when he heard this. The King of Beixiang was born suspicious, stubborn and self-righteous. If he held a grudge against him, he would kill all his nine generations of the clan!

The young general quickly buried his head in the snow and shouted, "Your Majesty, I dare not."

The King of Beixiang said impatiently: "I think you are very daring! Now the whereabouts of the prince are unknown, and you are still talking nonsense here. Why don't you take people to find out the whereabouts of the prince and rescue him?"

The young general was startled and asked, "How is the prince?"

The King of Beixiang frowned and said, "The Crown Prince was captured. The other party said they would come to exchange hostages today, but they set an ambush here, causing me to almost die here."

The young general glanced around quickly, and saw that people and horses were scattered all over the ice. Many horses had broken legs and were crying loudly.

The young general asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, do you have any clues about the prince?"

Beixiang King glanced at the young general and said coldly: "If I have a clue, do I need you to find it?"

The prince of Beixiang was moody, and the young general did not want to anger him, so he said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take people to rescue the prince right away."

After the young general finished speaking, he stood up, jumped on his horse, and with a wave of his hand, everyone behind him stood up, got on their horses, and followed the young general.

Although many people were injured or trampled to death, there were still more than half who followed closely behind the King of Beixiang.

The King of Beixiang looked at the wounded soldiers and horses scattered all over the ground and said with gritted teeth: "Useless, a bunch of nonsense, they haven't even seen the thieves, and they have lost so many men and horses."

The officers and soldiers following behind him did not dare to say a word. His Majesty was furious and whoever spoke would die soon.
