I’m The King Chapter 308: :Fufeng unstable

; This time, He Lanyan not only brought more than a hundred warriors who stayed behind from the tribe, but also begged Cao Tiancheng to lend a helping hand. There are more than a hundred cavalry in the headquarters, and another hundred cavalry are drawn from the Fufeng soldiers to join forces and search all the way.

There are only 300 cavalry in this group, so it is inevitable that they will be attacked all the way. However, anyone who attacks this cavalry will basically have only one end, and the whole army will be wiped out. Although the number of this army is small, But the equipment is extremely sophisticated. In addition to standard equipment such as cavalry with one man and two horses, sabers, bows and arrows, a hundred cavalry from the Fufeng soldiers are also equipped with a crossbow. During the half a year since Gao Yuan left Fufeng, The craftsmen of Juliguan have improved and upgraded the arm tension crossbow many times, and successfully produced a repeating crossbow suitable for cavalry. It is still called arm tension crossbow to the outside world.

Compared to the original arm-stretching crossbow, the weight of this repeating crossbow has been reduced to less than ten catties, and the range is greatly shortened. It only has a range of a hundred steps, but its destructive power is amazing. Within a hundred steps, it can penetrate heavy armor What's even more frightening is that he can fire continuously. A repeating crossbow of this kind can be loaded with three bolts at a time. The crossbow arrows of this kind of repeating crossbow are also a set of three, which are installed in a special card sleeve. The loading after firing is extremely simple, and the loading work can be easily completed even on a high-speed galloping horse.

Along the way, most of the enemies encountered were following the example of Fufeng Hundred Cavalrymen firing with a round of crossbows. The extremely powerful horse bandits swarmed up and took care of everything with ease. He Lanyan basically didn't have many chances to make a move.

Of course, this is also because this journey is far away from the border of Qin and Zhao, and is very close to the Kingdom of Yan. Most of the surviving cavalry of the Huns will not appear in this direction.

After a short period of joy, He Lanxiong remembered something, and couldn't help but change his expression, "Swallow, you brought out all the warriors in the tribe, who will guard the old camp? Once those old and weak women and children encounter these rebels, where will they be?" Resistance?"

"Brother!" He Lanyan looked at He Lanxiong with a smile, "How could I not have thought of this? As soon as I knew that we were defeated by the Qin army, I immediately led everyone in the old camp towards Juliguan. Go forward and set up camp near Juliguan, where there are Fufeng soldiers stationed, the old camp is of course safe."

He Lanxiong nodded silently.

"Helan patriarch, thanks to Miss Helan's decisive decision, you may not know that shortly after Miss Helan led her troops to move to the vicinity of Juliguan, Yan Shenghao, the governor of Hejian County in Yan State, had a total of more than 10,000 cavalry People, the soldiers went out of Hejian, and wiped out all the Huns within a hundred miles around Hejian County. If Miss Helan doesn't leave, then she will definitely be within Yan Shenghao's attack range this time." Bai Yucheng on the side Laugh.

He Lanxiong took a deep breath, "Yan Shenghao also dares to send troops to attack us?"

"I didn't dare before, but it's different now!" Bai Yucheng pursed his lips, "Everyone knows that the elite of your Xiongnu fell into the hands of the Qin army and were almost wiped out. Look, who doesn’t want a share of the pie? War horses, cattle and sheep, slaves, who doesn’t want it? The wall is overturned and everyone pushes it, and the drums are beaten by others. I’m not alarmist, and your life will be even more difficult in the future.”

He Lanxiong took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. Although what Bai Yucheng said was harsh, it was an indisputable fact.

"Brother, don't be sad, the general situation is like this, what can we do for a small tribe in the Helan tribe, at least try to save the tribe, that's all. It's always been like this." He Lanyan comforted.

"How can there be such an easy thing!" He Lanxiong smiled wryly.

"Cao Tiancheng said, we can always live near Juliguan, where they can protect us." He Lanyan said: "The current Fufeng soldiers are amazing. After the battle between Yan and Zhao, Gao Yuan unexpectedly Thousands of soldiers were kidnapped from Yuyang County to Fufeng, and now the number of Fufeng soldiers has surged to nearly 6,000, strong and strong, not to mention those defeated soldiers, even Donghu people, and now they have no choice but to retreat.”

"What?" He Lanxiong opened his mouth wide. Others fight with fewer and fewer soldiers, but who like Gao Yuan actually fights with more and more soldiers. The Xiongnu's 100,000 cavalry expedition to Zhao Guodai Commandery, after one battle, lost For the most part, Gao Yuan originally only had more than 2,000 people, but now there are more than 6,000 people. Compared with others, he must be **** off.

"Gao Yuan has returned to Fufeng?" He Lanxiong asked.

Hearing He Lanxiong's question, everyone from Fufeng shook their heads unanimously, and He Lanyan's face was filled with deep worry, "Brother Gao hasn't returned to Fufeng yet, it's a long story, I don’t know where Brother Gao is right now? Sun Xiao and the others have also sent a large number of people to look for Brother Gao!”

"What's going on?" He Lanxiong asked in surprise.

"It's hard to say!" He Lanyan sighed, "Brother, let's go home first, let's go all the way, let's tell you all the way, now there are some problems with Fufeng, brother Gao is missing, and those later troops I'm a little uneasy, if it weren't for Naha and Yan Haibo's efforts to maintain it, I don't know what happened, I hope Brother Gao will come back soon, otherwise there will definitely be problems."

Liaoxi, Fufeng County, Juliguan, in just one or two months, Cao Tiancheng's hair has turned gray for a little bit, and it is not an exaggeration to describe his current condition with a scorched forehead, Gao Yuan After leaving, Sun Xiao was basically in charge of Fufeng's military affairs, while the old county magistrate Wu Kai was in charge of political affairs. It seemed that Cao Tiancheng was only in charge of the army's logistics and business, but in fact, the entire Fufeng had the most decision-making power. He is the one with power.

After Gao Yuan left Fufeng, Suoke, the prince of Donghu in Yulin, extended his tentacles to the Niulanshan camp of Fufeng soldiers like a cat smelling fishy smell. Sun Xiao led the more than a thousand Fufeng soldiers left behind by Gao Yuan , sticking to the Niulanshan camp, and fought more than a dozen battles with the Donghu soldiers, large and small, but the Donghu soldiers fought more and more. Hu Bing refuses to go outside Fufeng.

But it was only to maintain a balance of power, and Cao Tiancheng was helpless in the face of Suoke's continuous increase in troops, and Zhang Shouyue, the governor of Liaoxi County, unexpectedly remained silent about Fufeng's embarrassment , Cao Tiancheng was puzzled, but the news he got from Zhang Shubao finally made him dumbfounded. Zhang Shubao led the army to Fufeng for reinforcements, and it was not Zhang Shouyue's instruction, but his own initiative.

The news of Gao Yuan's victory in Yuyang County came back. They were rejoicing, and a month later, Naha, Yan Haibo, Meng Chong, and Xu Yuan led more than 4,000 soldiers back to Fufeng, which fundamentally alleviated the current situation of Fufeng's lack of troops.

Fufeng, with sufficient soldiers and food, became a difficult problem for Sock to solve. He attacked many times and lost his troops, so he had to retract his outstretched hand.

But when everything in Fufeng was on the right track, the news came again from Jicheng, but everyone in Fufeng was hit hard. The heavy news made everyone dizzy.

The news of Gao Yuan's life and death caused a great uproar in Fufeng, especially the more than 3,000 soldiers represented by Meng Chong and Xu Yuan who returned from the Yuyang battlefield. They originally came for Gao Yuan , if Gao Yuan is not there, they will inevitably worry about the future, and the morale of the army has already shown signs of instability.

Wu Kai, the magistrate of Fufeng County, had to go to the camp of Niulan Mountain to appease him personally.

"Wu Gong, is everything all right?" Seeing Wu Kai appearing in Juliguan with red eyes, Cao Tiancheng asked bluntly without having time to ask about his health.

Wu Kai, who had just returned to Juliguan from the Niulan Mountain camp, was already drenched in sweat. Thanks to you who saw the opportunity early, at this critical juncture, you made a decisive decision and decided to pay the soldiers' salaries. No matter whether they are local soldiers in Fufeng or foreign soldiers, they are treated equally. This has stabilized those foreign troops. Now Naha and Yan Haibo are two , stayed where they were, and tried their best to stabilize the three thousand soldiers.”

"If it can be delayed for a while, it will be delayed for a while." Regarding the current situation, Cao Tiancheng is helpless. He was overjoyed when the thousands of troops arrived before, but once Gao Yuan is gone, this army will become a big trap. The other party is here for the heights.

"Has that person left yet?" Cao Tiancheng pointed his finger at it and asked in a low voice.

"At this time, he is naturally unwilling to leave, and he is still trying his best to get in touch with Meng Chong and Xu Yuan." Wu Kai smiled bitterly, "More than 3,000 soldiers who have fought in the battlefield have been trained by Gao Yuan After a long time, it's impossible not to make people jealous. Fortunately, Meng Chong and Xu Yuan are quite determined. It seems that if there is no definite news from Gao Yuan, they will not take any action for the time being. "

Cao Tianchang sighed, "That's good, that's good!"

Wu Kai stretched out his hand to wipe off the sweat on his face, and looked at Cao Tiancheng, "Tiancheng, are you so confident that Gao Yuan will come back alive?"

"Of course I have confidence!" Cao Tiancheng said emphatically, "Since there is no news of Gao Xianwei's death, then Gao Xianwei must be alive and will definitely come back, not just me, Sun Xiao, Zheng Xiaoyang, Naha and Yan Haibo both think so. What we have to do is to stabilize the form of Fufeng for Gao Xianwei before he comes back."

"That's all I can do. Do you have enough money here? The salaries of thousands of people have been paid out at once. This is a huge amount. There was no such budget before. If it is not enough, borrow it from me first Come here at one o'clock?" Wu Kai asked: "There is no other way right now, and using money to stabilize them is also a way."

"It's enough for the time being!" Cao Tiancheng sighed, "The Xiongnu is in chaos right now, and it's impossible to do business with them. This part of the money can be used to pay for it. If it's not enough, I won't Be polite to the county magistrate.”

"Where did this kid Gao Yuan go?" Wu Kai suddenly became angry, "This brat, at least I sent a letter! Our old guys' legs are almost broken. "

Listening to Wu Kai's grievances, Cao Tiancheng could only smile wryly.

Suddenly there were bursts of noise outside, and Cao Tiancheng, who was suffering from depression, couldn't help being furious. He was about to open the door and go out to shout, but the door was pushed open with a bang. Cao Tiancheng opened his eyes wide, full of surprise.

"Tianci, you are back? Where is the county captain?" He called out loudly.
