Chapter 308: Fufeng is unstable

This time, Helan Yan not only brought more than 100 soldiers left behind in the tribe, but also went to ask Cao Tiancheng to help, Cao Tiancheng after Sun Xiao and others discussed again, Bai Yucheng went out, took more than 100 cavalry from his headquarters, and then pulled out a hundred cavalry from the Fufeng soldiers, joined forces, and searched all the way.

This group of men and horses only has a mere 300 cavalry, and it is inevitable that they will be attacked along the way, but if they attack this cavalry, there is basically only one end, and the whole army will be destroyed. Although the number of this army is small, but the equipment is extremely sophisticated, in addition to the cavalry one person and two horses, sabers, bows and arrows and other standard equipment, from the Fufeng soldiers of the hundred cavalry, each of them is also equipped with an arm crossbow. During the more than half a year that Gao Yuan left Fufeng, the craftsmen of Curie Pass improved and upgraded the arm crossbow many times, and successfully manufactured a repeating crossbow suitable for cavalry. Externally, it is still called the arm-open crossbow.

Compared with the original arm crossbow, the weight of this repeating crossbow has dropped to less than ten catties, the range is greatly shortened, only a hundred steps of the range, but the destructive power is amazing, within a hundred steps, can penetrate the heavy armor, and what is even more terrifying is that he can continue to fire, a kind of repeating crossbow, can be loaded with three crossbow arrows at a time, when firing, pull the trigger, three crossbow arrows can be shot out in turn. In order to facilitate the loading, the crossbow arrows of this repeating crossbow are also a set of three, which are packed in a special card sleeve, and the loading after firing is extremely simple, even on the high-speed galloping war horse, the loading work can be easily completed.

Along the way, most of the enemies encountered were following the Fufeng 100 cavalry with a round of crossbow shots, first beating the opponent to pieces, and then Bai Yucheng rushed up with those horse bandits with excellent riding skills and strong individual combat ability, and easily handled everything, Helan Yan basically didn't have many opportunities to make a move.

Of course, this is also because this distance is far away from the Qin-Zhao border and extremely close to the Yan Kingdom, and most of the remaining Xiongnu cavalry will not appear in this direction.

After a short period of joy, He Lanxiong remembered something, and couldn't help but change his complexion, "Yanzi, you brought out all the warriors in the tribe, who is guarding the old camp?" Once those old and weak women and children encounter these rebels, where will they have the power to resist?"

"Brother!" He Lanyan looked at He Lanxiong with a smile, "How could I not think of this, after I knew for the first time that we were defeated by the Qin army, I immediately led all the horses in the old camp to advance in the direction of Curie Pass, and set up camp by Curie Pass.

Helan Xiong nodded silently.

"Helan patriarch, but also thanks to Helan girl to make a quick decision, you may not know the way, not long after Helan girl led her troops to move to the left of Curie Pass, Yan Guo's Hejian County guard Yan Shenghao under the command of a total of more than 10,000 cavalry, soldiers out of the river, swept away the Huns within a hundred miles near Hejian County, if Helan girl does not go, then this time it will definitely be within the range of Yan Shenghao's attack." Bai Yucheng on the side said with a smile.

He Lanxiong gasped, "Yan Shenghao also dares to send troops to fight us?"

"I didn't dare before, but now it's different!" Bai Yucheng pursed his lips, "Everyone knows that the elite of your Huns fell into the evil deeds of the Qin army and were almost wiped out, and now the appearance on the grassland, which one doesn't want to get a piece of the pie?" War horses, cattle and sheep, slaves, who doesn't want it? The wall is down and everyone pushes it, and the drums are beaten by others, if I am not alarmist, I am afraid that your life will be even more difficult in the future."

He Lanxiong took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, although Bai Yucheng's words were ugly, they were indisputable facts.

"Brother, don't be sad, the general trend is like this, what can we do with a small tribe in Helan Department, so I want to save the tribe, and the future will be long, and it will not always be like this." He Lanyan comforted.

"How can it be so easy!" He Lanxiong smiled bitterly.

"Cao Tiancheng said that we can always live near Curie Pass, where they can shelter us." Helan Yan said: "The current Fufeng soldiers are terrible, after the first battle of Yan Zhao, Gao Yuan actually abducted thousands of soldiers from Yuyang County to Fufeng, and now the Fufeng soldiers have surged to nearly 6,000 people, the soldiers are strong and strong, not to mention those defeated soldiers, it is the Donghu people, and now they are helpless to retreat."

"What?" Helan Xiong opened his mouth wide, when others fight, the soldiers are fighting less and less, which one is like Gao Yuan, and the soldiers are actually fighting more and more. The Huns 100,000 cavalry expeditioned to Zhao Guodai County, a battle down, lost most of it, Gao Yuan was originally full of only more than 2,000 people, but now there are more than 6,000 people, this person is more than people, so he has to be angry.

"Takato has returned to Fufeng?" He Lanxiong asked.

Hearing He Lanxiong's question, everyone from Fufeng shook their heads in unison, and a deep sadness passed over He Lanyan's face, "Brother Gao hasn't returned to Fufeng yet, this matter is a long story, and I don't know where Brother Gao is now?" Sun Xiao and the others have also sent a large number of people, looking for Big Brother Gao everywhere!"

"What's going on?" Helan Xiong asked in surprise.

"It's hard to put into words!" Helan Yan sighed, "Big brother, let's go home first, go all the way, tell you all the way, now there are some problems on Fufeng's side, Brother Gao is nowhere to be found, and those later troops will be a little uneasy, if it weren't for Naha and Yan Haibo trying their best to maintain it, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, I hope Brother Gao will come back soon, otherwise there will definitely be problems."

Liaoxi, Fufeng County, Curie Pass, in just one or two months, Cao Tiancheng's hair is half white, it is not an exaggeration to describe his current situation with a messy forehead, after Gao Yuan left, Fufeng military is basically led by Sun Xiao, and there is an old county order Wu Kai in political affairs, Cao Tiancheng seems to be only responsible for the logistics and business of the army, but, in fact, the most decision-making power in the whole Fufeng is him.

After Gao Yuan left Fufeng, the prince of Donghu in Yulin, Soke, was like a cat that smelled fishy, and stretched out his tentacles to the Niulanshan camp of the Fufeng soldiers, Sun Xiao led more than 1,000 Fufeng soldiers left by Gao Yuan, stuck to the Niulanshan camp, and fought more than a dozen battles with the Donghu soldiers, but the Donghu soldiers were fighting more and more, and when they saw that it was not good, fortunately Zhang Shubao led the army to help, which stabilized the defense line and kept the Donghu soldiers out of Fufeng.

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

The news of Gao Yuan's victory in Yuyang County came back, Fufeng was jubilant, and the morale was greatly boosted, and then Gao Yuan was awarded the general of Zhengdong from Jicheng, and the government was opened, which made Fufeng and the rest of the people rejoicing, and a month later, Naha, Yan Haibo, Meng Chong, and Xu Yuan led more than 4,000 soldiers all the way back to Fufeng, which alleviated the current situation of insufficient Fufeng troops from the root.

The soldiers' well-fed Fufeng became an unsolvable problem for Soke, who attacked many times, lost his troops, and had to retract his outstretched hand.

But when everything was on the right track in Fufeng, the news from Jicheng came again, but everyone in Fufeng was hit hard, Jicheng was on fire, Gao Yuan was assassinated, Gao Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, one after another heavy news, everyone was dizzy.

The news that Gao Yuan's life and death were unknown made Fufeng uproar, especially the more than 3,000 soldiers who returned from the Yuyang battlefield represented by Meng Chong and Xu Yuan, they originally came for Gao Yuan, if Gao Yuan was not there, they couldn't help but worry about the future, and the military spirit was already showing signs of instability.

Fufeng County ordered Wu Kai to personally go to the Niulanshan camp to pacify.

"Gong Wu, is everything settled?" Seeing Wu Kai appear in Curie Pass with red eyes, Cao Tiancheng didn't have time to ask for warmth, and asked bluntly.

Wu Kai, who had just returned to Curie Pass from the Niulanshan camp, was already soaked with sweat on his clothes, "Almost, it has stabilized temporarily, but if Gao Yuan has no news, I'm afraid it won't be easy to say. It is also thanks to you that you saw the opportunity early, at this critical juncture, you immediately made a decision and decided to issue the salaries of the soldiers, whether it is a local soldier or a foreign soldier, without discrimination, which stabilized those foreign troops, and now Naha and Yan Haibo are both staying where they are, trying their best to stabilize the more than 3,000 soldiers."

"If you can delay it for a while, you can delay it for a while." For the current situation, Cao Tiancheng is also helpless, he was overjoyed by the arrival of these thousands of troops before, but once Gao Yuan is not there, this army will become a big trap, and the other party is coming for Gao Yuan.

"Isn't that one gone yet?" Cao Tiancheng pointed his finger at it and asked in a low voice.

"At this time, he naturally refused to leave, and he was still trying his best to contact Meng Chong and Xu Yuan." Wu Kai smiled bitterly, "More than 3,000 soldiers who have fought on the battlefield have been trained by Gao Yuan for a long time, and it is impossible not to teach people to be red. Fortunately, this Meng Chong and Xu Yuan are quite determined, and it seems that if there is no definite news from Gao Yuan, they will not make any moves for the time being."

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

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

"Of course I have that!" Cao Tiancheng said stiffly, "Since there is no news of the death of the county lieutenant Gao, then the county lieutenant Gao will definitely be alive and will definitely come back, not only me, Sun Xiao, Zheng Xiaoyang, Naha, and Yan Haibo all think so. What we have to do is to stabilize the form of Fufeng for Lieutenant Gao when he hasn't come back yet."

"That's all there is to it, do you have enough money here? Thousands of salaries were paid at once, which is a lot of money, and there was no such budget before. If it's not enough, where can I borrow a little bit first?" Wu Kai asked: "There is no other way at the moment, it is also a way to stabilize them with money first."

"It's enough for the time being!" Cao Tiancheng sighed and said: "At present, there is a big chaos on the Huns' side, and the business with that side cannot be done, so this part of the money can be moved out to support it first. If it's not enough, I won't be polite to you."

"Where did this kid Gao Yuan go?" Wu Kai suddenly became angry, "This stinky boy, I have a letter anyway!" Our old guys are breaking their legs."

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

There was a sudden commotion outside, Cao Tiancheng, who was depressed, couldn't help but be furious, and was about to push the door and go out to scold, but the door was pushed open with a bang, looking at the people standing in front of the door, Cao Tiancheng's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"God, you're back? What about the county lieutenant?" He cried out. (To be continued......)
