I’m The King Chapter 173: : Ambush

The force is only half of the opponent's, and the elite level is not as good. Under normal circumstances, there is no way to fight this battle, but Gao Yuan is very confident. The key now is time. He must be ahead of the opponent. Arrive at the opponent's point of crossing the river, and attack halfway across the river. Before the battle even started, I won more than half of it.

The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, together with the sparse stars, it adds a layer of soft light to this vast land. In the far distance, the outline of the mountain peaks is faintly visible, and the Tuotuo River is like a jade belt. , straddling the ground, the sound of rumbling torrents crashing against the embankment from time to time. Not far from the shore, Gao Yuan took hundreds of his horses and galloped all the way to their goal. The war horse under his crotch He was panting heavily, sweating profusely, but he was still driven forward by the knights.

Time, now time is victory.

The river gradually widened, the water became calmer, and the sky and the earth suddenly became quiet. All of a sudden, she became a gentle and gracious lady from a large family. The calm surface of the ancient well is not turbulent. If you don't look carefully, you can't even find that he is still surging forward.

"It's just ahead, Guling Ferry!" He Lanyan pointed to the distance and said loudly: "This is the nearest ferry. There is no rapid and dangerous current. The water is gentle and not deep. If he crosses the river, he will definitely choose this place."

The other side is still peaceful. It seems that Arenda’s royal court cavalry has not rushed over yet. Gao Yuan laughed silently, “Let’s go, let’s prepare. Tomorrow, we will give Arenda an unexpected surprise. Surprise."

Everyone burst out laughing, this laughter is the pride that they finally reached the target before the enemy. This laughter is also the anticipation and joy of tomorrow's opponent.

Everyone slowed down the speed of the horse. After running in the middle of the night, the horse was too tired.

The tranquility of Gulingdu was broken, and here, it became lively in an instant.

Business continued until the early morning of the next day. When the first ray of dawn pierced the darkness in the east, Gao Yuan turned over and stepped on the horse, and left with half of the cavalry, and retreated with them. There are more than two hundred empty horses. And around Gulingdu. Just like the previous scene, all traces have been erased, and if you don't look carefully, you can't find any signs at all.

About two miles from here. There is a dense forest, which is a large pine forest that is evergreen all the year round, but now it has become the best hiding place for Gaoyuan.

"Except for the guards, the rest should eat, sleep, recharge their energy, and prepare for battle!" Gao Yuan didn't talk nonsense, these people have become out-and-out veterans after this round-trip raid. He didn't need to talk too much, everyone knew what to do, even the cavalry under the command of Zhang Dongsheng and Huang Zhan. The hundreds of cavalry they brought almost lost more than half. middle. The loss was mainly due to their subordinates. Whether it was Gao Yuan's Fufeng soldiers or He Lanyan's Xiongnu soldiers, they had been in blood and fire several times before, and the soldiers of the two of them were well-trained, but Staying in the county all the time, where did you fight a serious battle? No matter how well-trained soldiers have never fought, they are still a group of rookies when they go to the battlefield, and those who survive after repeated elimination will become the backbone of an army.

Although the losses were huge, Zhang Dongsheng and Huang Zhan did not complain. First, before they set off, Zhang Shubao and Huang Desheng had said that no losses would be counted in this battle. Second, although the losses were huge, Those who survived will inevitably become a valuable asset. When they successfully return to Fufeng, rebuilding a cavalry with these people as the backbone will inevitably undergo radical changes. A troop built with veterans as the backbone, Its combat effectiveness will be far stronger than before.

The battlefield has always been a cruel arena where the fittest survive.

Everyone solved the belly problem in twos and threes, and fell asleep holding their weapons. The thick pine leaves on the ground were soft cotton wool to these people.

Gao Yuan leaned against a pine tree that was as thick as his wrist, with his long legs stretched out straight. While closing his eyes to rest his mind, he stretched out his hands and kneaded his thighs. During these days, he was much more tired than ordinary soldiers , not only physically, but also psychologically. He thought about how to bring these people back. There are more and more people under his command, but the burden is also getting heavier. Gao Yuan now understands how powerful the power is , the meaning of this sentence is as great as the responsibility.

"Borrow me a shoulder!" A crisp voice came from Gao Yuan's ear, who was recalling the details just now. He Lanyan sat down beside him, stretched out both hands, and hugged his shoulders , tilted his head, leaned on his shoulder, blinked his two long eyelashes a few times, closed his eyelids, and before Gao Yuan could speak, he let out a slight snoring sound.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but smiled wryly, no matter how tired you are, it's impossible to fall asleep like this, right? Looking at the slightly rolling eyeballs under the other's eyelids, as well as the suppressed yet uncontrollable smile at the corner of the mouth, Gao Yuan understood that this girl simply didn't give herself a chance to refuse. I fell asleep, you still Can throw me aside!

Running all the way, He Lanyan's body also exuded a sour smell, and the braids all over her head were scattered a lot. The originally neat scalp was piled up on her head in a mess, like a pile of weeds. This girl's face is dark and dark now, her face is a lot haggard, and she is much thinner, and the two blushing lumps of flesh on her face are no longer visible,

Seeing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. This girl, he didn't have to come, but fortunately, she came. The hundred or so Hun cavalry she brought with her became his The strongest force, if it weren't for the addition of this Hun cavalry, Gao Yuan knew that the casualties under his command would have more than doubled. At this time, let alone counterattacking the enemy, he might even escape It was difficult to go back. I reached out and gently rubbed He Lanyan's disheveled hair.

He Lanyan's body trembled slightly, but she didn't open her eyes, but the two hands holding Gao Yuan's arms became tighter and tighter.

Gao Yuan sighed. After going back this time, he will marry Jing'er, but the relationship with He Lanyan is even more complicated. Being entangled like this is not good for either of them, but he What can be done? In front of He Lanyan, any words are powerless. This woman seems to have identified a way and is not going to look back. That night, on the city wall of Juliguan, facing the The girl with fluttering long hair and her bare feet stepping on the cold floor has already made it very clear.

"It's not my fault that I like you!" The girl's crisp voice rang in my ears, and the pair of big eyes looking up at her were shining brightly, how could I have the heart to say the same thing again? Again.

He was in a dilemma and entangled with each other. For a while, Gao Yuan really didn't know what to do.

He Lanyan beside her was breathing more and more steadily, she clasped Gao Yuan's hands and slipped down a little bit. Now, she was really asleep, and the girl had a happy smile on her face. happy dream.

Placing his head on the pine tree trunk, Gao Yuan closed his eyes, since he couldn't think of a solution, let it be, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and there will always be a solution for everything of.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Gao Yuan hurriedly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was a pretty face that was close at hand, with big eyes flickering at him, smiling.

"Swallow!" Gao Yuan sat up straight.

"I didn't expect you to be drooling while sleeping!" He Lanyan said with a smile, "Gao Yuan, you are still gnashing your teeth while falling asleep, what are you thinking?"

Gao Yuan chuckled, stretched out his hand to pat his cheeks, to make himself more sober, "Arenda hasn't come yet?"

"Not yet."

"He won't go this way, right?" Gao Yuan became a little worried. If he chose the wrong ambush location and the opponent didn't come, it would be secondary if he couldn't annihilate the enemy. The key is to let the opponent cross the river smoothly. My life will be full of dangers again. At this time, the sky is already bright, but judging by the time, it is less than half an hour before I fall asleep.

"No, if he wants to choose the closest place to cross the river, then Gulingdu is the only place he can choose." He Lanyan nodded firmly, "Trust me, it will never be wrong."

Gao Yuan nodded, "Of course I believe you."

Until the sun rose three poles, just when He Lanyan also began to doubt her own judgment, there was a sudden noise on the other side of the Tuotuo River, and black cavalry appeared on the other side of the river. , Gao Yuan waved his fist excitedly, and cheers resounded in the woods. With the appearance of Arenda, the previous worries have disappeared.

The crowd began to gather quietly, each horse was put on a bit to prevent their neighing from arousing the other party's vigilance, everyone held their knives, stood beside their horses, and gathered behind Gao Yuan.

On the other side of the Tuotuo River, Arenda was extremely angry and hated Gao Yuan to the bone. Sha Potian took advantage of the emptiness and entered Yulin. The food and grass that Donghu King Miranda had painstakingly raised were gathered in Yulin. Now, they were all turned into ashes in the fire. This fire burned not only food and grass, but also It is the hope of Donghu to march into Dayan.

Opportunity must not be lost, and it will never come again. If you lose this opportunity, the next opportunity will come, and you don’t know when it will be.

"Cross the river!" His voice was extremely gloomy.
