Chapter 173: Ambush

The troops are only half of the opponent's strength, and the elite level is even less than that. Under normal circumstances, there is no way to fight this battle, but Gao Yuan is extremely confident. The key now is time. He must rush ahead of his opponent, arrive at the opponent's crossing place, and fight halfway through. Before the battle started, he won more than half of it.

The crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and together with the sparse stars, add a faint soft light to this vast land. In the distance, the outlines of the mountain blocked mountains can be seen vaguely. The Tuotuo River is like a jade belt, lying across the earth, and the rumbling sound of turbulent water flows occasionally hit the bank and embankment.

Not far from the shore, Gao Yuan led his hundreds of riders and horses to gallop all the way, rushing towards their targets.

The war horse under his crotch was gasping heavily, sweating on his body, but he was still trying his best to move forward under the knights' drive.

Time, now time is victory.

The river gradually widened and the water level calmed down. The sky and the earth suddenly became quiet, and there was no longer the sound of the rumbling waters colliding with each other. The turbulent Tuotuo River here, from a hot village girl, suddenly turned into a gentle and kind lady from a noble family. The calm water surface is not waved. When you don’t look carefully, you can’t even find that the rest of him are still surging forward without moving forward.

"Just in front, Guling Ferry!" Helanyan pointed to the distance and shouted loudly: "This is the nearest ferry, there is no turbulent and dangerous flow, the water is gentle, and the water is not deep. If Arenda wants to cross the river, he will definitely choose here."

The other side was still calm. It seemed that before Arunda's royal cavalry had arrived, Gao Yuan laughed silently, "Let's go and prepare, tomorrow, give Arunda an unexpected surprise."

Everyone burst into laughter, this laughter was their pride to finally reaching the target before the enemy. This laughter was also the expectation and happiness of the opponent to be wiped out tomorrow.

Everyone slowed down their horses and ran for the middle of the night, and the horses were too tired.

The quiet Ancient Lingdu was broken through the tranquility, and this place became lively in an instant.

The busyness lasted until the early morning of the next day. When the first ray of dawn in the east pierced the darkness, Gao Yuan turned over and stepped on the war horse, and left with half of the cavalry. There were more than 200 empty horses left with them, and the surrounding area of ​​the Gulingdu. Just like the previous scene, all traces were wiped out. Without looking carefully, no signs could be found.

There is a dense forest about two miles away from here, which is a large pine forest that has evergreen all year round, but now it has become the best place to hide.

"Except for the guards, the rest should eat, sleep, and be energetic, and prepare for battle!" Gao Yuan said nothing nonsense. After this raid that traveled thousands of miles back and forth, these people have become perfect veterans. He doesn't need to talk much. Everyone knows what to do. Even the cavalry under Zhang Dongsheng and Huang Zhan are the same. The hundreds of cavalry brought by the two of them have almost been more than half of them. Among the previous battles, the main ones were their subordinates. Whether it was Gao Yuan's Fufeng soldiers or Helanyan's Huns soldiers, they had crawled in blood and fire several times before. Their soldiers were trained very well, but they had been staying in the county town. Where did they fight a battle seriously? No matter how well-trained soldiers have never fought. When they go to the battlefield, they are still a group of rookies, and those who survive after being eliminated will become the backbone of a unit.

Although the losses were huge, Zhang Dongsheng and Huang Zhan had no complaints. First, before they set out, Zhang Shubao and Huang Desheng once said that this battle would not be considered for losses. Second, although the losses were huge, those who survived would inevitably become a valuable asset. When they successfully returned to Fufeng, they would use these people as the backbone to rebuild a cavalry, and there would inevitably be a complete transformation.

A unit composed of veterans as backbone will have a much stronger combat effectiveness than before.

The battlefield has always been a cruel arena of survival of the fittest.

Everyone solved the belly problem in just a few seconds, and fell asleep with their weapons in their arms. The thick pine leaves on the ground were soft cotton for these people.

Gao Yuan leaned against a pine tree as thick as a wrist, stretched out his long legs, closing his eyes to rest, and stretching out his hands to knead his thighs. During these days, he was much tired than an ordinary big-headed soldier. Not only was he physically but also psychologically.

He thought of bringing these people back as much as he could.

There are more and more people under my command, but the burden is getting heavier and heavier.

Gao Yuan now understands that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, the meaning of the sentence.

"Borrow a shoulder for use!" Gao Yuan, who was carefully recalling the details just now, heard a crisp sound in his ears. He Lanyan sat beside him, stretched out her hands, hugged his shoulder, tilted her head and leaned against his shoulder, blinked her long eyelashes a few times, closed her eyelids, and before Gao Yuan could speak, she actually made a slight snoring sound.

Gao Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. No matter how harsh you were tired, you wouldn't be able to fall asleep like this, right? Looking at the other person's eyes that were still slightly rolling under his eyelids, and the smile that was still uncontrollable in the corner of his mouth, Gao Yuan understood that this girl didn't give him a chance to refuse.

I'm asleep, can you throw me aside!

As he ran around, Helanyan also emitted a sour smell on her body, and her braids were scattered a lot. Her original neat scalp was piled up on her head, like a pile of weeds. The girl who had always loved to clean now has black faces, her face became much more haggard, and she became much thinner. She couldn't see the two red flesh on her face.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. This girl could have not come, but fortunately she came. The more than a hundred Xiongnu cavalry she brought had become his strongest combat power this time. If it weren't for the joining of this Xiongnu cavalry, Gao Yuan understood that the casualties under his command would probably have doubled.

At this time, let alone counterattacking the enemy, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to escape back with my tail between my legs.

He reached out and gently rubbed Helanyan's messy hair.

He Lanyan's body shook slightly, but she did not open her eyes, but her hands holding Gao Yuan's arms became tighter and tighter.

Gao Yuan sighed. After going back this time, he would marry Jing'er, but the relationship with Helanyan was even more complicated. It was not good for each other to be entangled like this, but what could he do? In front of Helanyan, any words were pale and powerless. The woman seemed to have recognized a path and was not ready to turn around. That night, on the wall of Curieguan, facing the girl with long hair and barefoot on the cold floor tiles, she had already made it clear.

"It's not my fault to like you!" The girl's crisp voice sounded in her ears, and the big eyes looking up at her were shining with the crystal light of the sun. How could she bear to say the same thing again?

I was embarrassed and entangled with each other. For a moment, Gao Yuan really didn't know what to do.

Helanyan beside her breathing became more and more stable, and her hands were sliding down little by little. Now, she was really asleep. The girl showed a happy smile on her face, but she seemed to have a very happy dream.

He leaned his head on the trunk of the pine tree and closed his eyes. Since he couldn't think of a solution, let it go. There must be a way before the car arrives at the mountain. There will always be a solution for anything.

I don’t know how long I slept, Gao Yuan opened his eyes suddenly. The first thing that caught his eye was a pretty face that was close to him. His big eyes flashed and his smile was silenced.

"Swallow!" Gao Yuan sat upright.

"I didn't expect you to drool when you sleep!" Helanyan said with a smile, "Gao Yuan, you are still sleeping, and you are still gritting your teeth, what are you thinking?"

Gao Yuan smiled and reached out to pat his double yards to make himself more sober, "Have you not Arenda come yet?"

"not yet."

"He won't not walk this path, right?" Gao Yuan was a little worried. If he chose the wrong ambush location and the other party did not come, it would be second to not be able to annihilate the enemy. The key is to let the other party cross the river smoothly, and his life will be full of dangers again. It was already dawn at this time, but looking at the time, it was less than half an hour before he fell asleep.

"No, if he wants to choose the closest place to cross the river, then there is only Gulingdu. "Helanyan nodded firmly," Believe me, you can't be wrong."

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

Until the sun was noon, just as Helanyan began to doubt her judgment, the other side of the Tuotuo River suddenly became louder, and black cavalry appeared on the other side of the river. Through the cracks in the pine forest, he saw the Donghu Wangting cavalry on the other side. Gao Yuan waved his fists excitedly, and cheers with suppressed voices sounded in the forest. With the appearance of Alunda, his previous worries disappeared.

Everyone began to gather quietly, and each war horse was chewed to prevent their neighing from arousing the other's alertness. Everyone stood beside their war horses with their knives and gathered behind Gao Yuan.

On the other side of the Tuotuo River, Arenda was extremely angry and hated Gao Yuan to the core. He was first lured into the turtle and ruined hundreds of elite royal cavalry. Then, in order to pursue him, he let the real Sha Potian take advantage of the situation. Yulin gathered the food and grass that Donghu King Miranda raised with all his efforts. Now, they have turned into ashes in the fire. This fire burned not only the food and grass, but also the hope of Donghu's march into Dayan.

Opportunities cannot be missed, and no longer come. If you lose this opportunity in front of you, you will not know when the next opportunity will come.
