I’m The King Chapter 169: : Fire in the backyard
There are a lot fewer stars in the sky than yesterday. A few of them hang in the sky, emitting a dim light. The moon appears and disappears from time to time. It's not big, but there is a slight earthy smell and chill in the air.
"Maybe there will be rain in these two days!" A Huns cavalry over forty sniffed vigorously and said to his companions. The cloth strip was soaked in blood, and over time, it had turned black long ago. If he could not get timely medical treatment, his arm might be broken, but it seemed that he was not very worried." If A heavy rain, preferably heavy snow, would be great! Then we can get rid of the Donghu people's pursuit."
All around him, everyone nodded silently. At this moment, good weather is simply a disaster for them.
There are only more than 400 people left in Gaoyuan. In the past two days, it can be said that they have been in a terrible state. They could see their flags on the horse. At that moment, they were most nervous. Fortunately, they had brought enough horses, so they were lucky enough to get rid of the opponent's pursuit temporarily, but with the large number of horses that Thorpe mobilized, After joining his army, the sense of urgency of Gao Yuan and others is stronger than the moment.
The team fell into silence. Except for a short rest every day, they were running almost every moment. Every hour or two after running, they had to change horses. Some of the injured were seriously unable to travel such a long distance. The soldiers have fallen behind. Whether they can survive and escape back depends on God's will.
In the first two days, Gao Yuan was still circling around Yulin to see if he could find an opportunity to complete the earlier task, but after two days, he stopped. Gao Yuan completely gave up on this idea, and now the only thing he wants to do is how to lead this army to get rid of the opponent's tracking and escape back. As for attacking Yulin, it is already an impossible task.
The vigilance of the opponent and the determination to chase and kill him far exceeded his imagination. Moreover, the tenacity of the Donghu cavalry also exceeded his expectations. In the past few days, he has lost hundreds of men. Among them, most of them are cavalry under the command of Zhang Dongsheng and Huang Zhan. Their own quality is worse, and in this desperate flight, they finally couldn't hold on and fell behind.
By the faint starlight, Gao Yuan, He Lanyan, infantrymen, Zhang Dongsheng, Huang Zhan and others gathered together and stared at the map He Lanyan was holding.
"Let's go. Walk along the Tuotuo River, find an opportunity, and cross the river to go home!" Gao Yuan looked back in the direction of Yulin, and came out this time. It was a big loss, but fortunately, Arenda was defeated, and a little interest was finally recovered, in the eyes of outsiders. It should be a great victory to defeat thousands of royal court elite cavalry in the high and deep enemy territory. But in Gao Yuan's view, if Yulin was not burned, it was a complete failure. Moreover, this time's action not only failed to achieve the strategic goal, but also forged a deep hatred with the Donghu people. It is conceivable that when the Donghu people's army came south When the Liaoxi frontier army has to retreat to protect itself, the people in these places will definitely suffer cruel revenge.
This made Gao Yuan very unhappy. Originally, he wanted to prevent these people from being poisoned by the Donghu people, but it backfired. The result may be just the opposite.
He looked up to the sky, and sighed a long time. All along, as a person with the experience of the second life, he always put himself in a high position, thinking that with his knowledge and skills that far surpassed his opponents With experience, everything will go smoothly and be invincible, but today, he finally realized that no one can be insulted, and people in this era are no different than him.
"The strength is still inferior to others!" Gao Yuan was extremely annoyed, with only two thousand cavalry behind him, he chased him like a rabbit. If he had thousands of soldiers under his command, what would the chasing soldiers do to me?
There was a rapid sound of horseshoes in the distance, accompanied by a loud whistle. This is the sentinel cavalry. Hearing the sound of those whistles, the resting cavalry stood up and stepped on their horses one after another.
"Son of a son of a bitch, it's really lingering, you can't even get a good night's sleep!" The infantry was furious in his heart, following Gao Yuan for more than a year, when did he live such a precarious life.
"Let's go!" Gao Yuan felt depressed, and the enemy came after him again.
"We are tired, and the enemy is also tired. Now it depends on whose willpower is strong!" Gao Yuan galloped past his team, cheering up the soldiers loudly, "Brothers, not far ahead, It is the Tuotuo River, as long as we cross the Tuotuo River, we will escape the pursuit of the enemy and we can go home.”
Although they are already physically and mentally exhausted, all the soldiers still smiled when they heard that they will go home soon. Now, going home can move the hearts of the soldiers more than any slogan .
In the dim starlight, hundreds of cavalry drove their horses and ran towards the darkness in the distance. Not long after they left, a fire dragon appeared at the place where they had just rested.
After several days of tracking, the Donghu cavalry was exhausted. Thorpe's face, which was originally radiant, was now covered with black and blue stubble. He has two dark circles under his eyes, and his face is also pale. He has never suffered so much after being pampered for a long time, but this time, he is determined, even if he chases to the ends of the world, he will completely wipe out this group of horse bandits. This is not only It was because Sha Potian touched his soft threat this time, and it was because Sha Potian broke his usual practice and started attacking the royal court cavalry. Sha Potian will come to Yulin to make trouble again. Yulin is the logistics base for the army's southern expedition. This time, the war that Miranda wants to start will not end in a short time. Maybe it will last for three years or two years. Such a combat force That’s right, the elusive horse bandit will be a big loophole in the rear. I couldn’t find him before, but now I have finally attached his tail. How can I give up so easily.
Thorpe doesn't believe that a team of horse bandits will have the resilience of his army, and it is true. These days, he has been getting closer and closer to his opponent.
"Chasing!" He ordered loudly.
In Yulin, Tulu, who stayed behind, was reviewing the account of the newly arrived grain and grass in the big tent. Thorpe led the army to chase the enemy for four days. After the message he brought back, he felt relieved. The third prince was right. This team of horse bandits has been endangering the safety of the Donghu people for so many years. It has been impossible to find their exact whereabouts. Now that they have finally been found, it is indeed time to Its annihilation, the opportunity cannot be missed, and the loss will never come again. Moreover, the combat power of this horse bandit surprised Tulu, and he was able to defeat Arenda in a frontal battle. In this case, this horse bandit is not a sore of the tongue, but It's a confidant who has a serious problem. If he is not completely eliminated or disabled, maybe there will be a big leak at some point.
In the territory of Donghu in the depths of Yulin, there are no other destructive forces except Shapotian, a lawless horse bandit. Tulu is not very worried about the safety of Yulin.
Gently closing the account book, the food and grass that Donghu king Miranda collected has basically arrived. In half a month, Donghu's army will start from all over the country and march towards Fufeng, Chima and other places in Yanjing. At this time, the food, grass and supplies sent from Yulin to these places will be sent out in an endless stream, becoming the lifeline supporting this war.
Tulu let out a long sigh of relief, stood up, and prepared to take a good rest. In the past few days, Thorpe led the army to leave, and he didn't close his eyes very much. He was really exhausted.
Sitting on the soft quilt and pulling off a bed of thick fur, Tulu had just taken off his boots and was rubbing his numb feet when suddenly there was a shrill horn sound outside sound.
For a moment, Tulu almost thought that he was too tired these days and had auditory hallucinations, but immediately, he realized that it was not an auditory hallucination, but a fact, because the warning horn was constantly sounding, And not from one place, horns sounded from the sentry tower of the entire logistics camp.
An enemy is coming!
Tulu jumped up all of a sudden, rushed out of the big tent with bare feet, and stood on the icy ground. The speed made him a little dizzy, and what made him even more dumbfounded was that under the reflection of the flames, a **** banner with crossed scimitars fluttered in the wind.
"Sha Potian!" He exclaimed, how is this possible? Aren't they being chased by the third prince to the heavens and the earth? How did they appear here? I also received a message from the third prince tonight, saying that I have already attached the tail of Sha Potian.
Tulu did not believe that Thorpe would be so incompetent~IndoMTL.com~Not only did he fail to catch up with the opponent, but instead let the opponent fight back. Considering the time, this is also impossible.
The entire Yulin is almost undefended now. Although there are still some cavalry, they are all scattered in Yulin City at this time. There are also some guards stationed in the two huge logistics battalions, but they cannot gather. Attacking opponents without clusters will not play any role at all.
Tulu's mind went blank for a moment.
The sound of horseshoes and shouts rang out in an instant, and the logistics camp was in chaos. The guards stationed hurriedly stepped on their horses to meet the enemy, but more civilians were like headless chickens. General bumping around.
It's over! Tulu closed his eyes.
Outside the logistics camp, the real Shapotian held the **** banner in his hands and laughed loudly: "Brothers, rush in and burn his son of a bitch. Then go to the city and have a good time." Have a good time."
In the eyes of Sha Potian, the Yulin right now is a big girl taking off her clothes and taking a bath, waiting for her body to break in. (To be continued.)
