Chapter Seventy-Eight: Distress
The infantry looked back at the Donghu cavalry who were getting closer and closer, only to feel bitter in their mouths, and took off the longbow from their backs, "Bing Cao, the opponent's horse is faster than ours, I'll cover it, you go quickly."
Gao Yuan whipped his horse violently in annoyance, "I can't go, you see they have already divided several horses, they are going to block our way, they recognize us."
"What to do, Hyocao?" The infantry was nervous, and at this time he also saw that several horsemen had circled in a circle, almost parallel to them.
"Run, what else can I do?" Gao Yuan turned in a direction, "When I turned around and saw He Lanxiong, I would not be willing to rest with him, and said that the most haode horse that gave me was the most haode horse, and even a few Donghu soldiers couldn't run."
The two changed directions, but they were getting farther and farther away from Curie.
The bright sun shines on the withered yellow meadow, dozens of horsemen and horses drive hundreds of cattle and sheep, are leisurely wandering towards the direction of Curie Pass, the first person, it is Helan Xiong who was cursed by Gao Yuan at this moment, beside him, but Helan Yan with bright eyes and bright teeth, flicking the horsewhip, at this moment is leading the singing, a large group of Huns responded in unison, in last winter, Helan Department obtained a large amount of food from Fufeng, thus attracting many small tribes to vote, a winter passed, The Helan tribe, which has only a hundred horsemen, has swelled to thousands of people, and can easily organize three hundred cavalry warriors, although it is still not worth mentioning compared to most of the Xiongnu or most of the Donghu, but for the Helan department, it is a great achievement.
Because of this incident, the young Helan Xiong's position in the Helan Department has become more stable.
After the Chinese New Year, Helanxiong remembered that Gao Yuan should have arrived at Curie Pass, and the dozens of cows he sent to Helan Department to be raised by himself were also time to give them to him.
Last winter, with enough food, the cattle and sheep of Helan Department did not decrease because of the white disaster, but there were many more, Helan Xiong was also generous, in addition to these dozens of cows, and sent some lambs, he also wanted to see Gao Yuan, he didn't want to bring He Lanyan over, but Helan Yan was stubborn, so he had to follow.
For this only sister, Helanxiong is helpless.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is shining, and Helanxiong's mood is no different from this weather. In his own hands, Helan has been swelling for nearly a generation, this is a haode beginning, maybe in a few years, on this land, he will also become a man of words, a stomp foot, this land will tremble three times.
Gao Yuan is a character worth befriending, He Lanxiong and these people have also seen a lot of Da Yan and Da Zhao's characters, but Gao Yuan gave him a different feeling, this person is by no means a thing in the pool, over time, he will become a great weapon, and now he is fledgling, but he is just befriending him, if he can become a great weapon in the future, he will be able to give himself more help.
"Patriarch, patriarch!" A sentry horse flew from the front, "I found the Donghu cavalry!" Although far away, the sentry still shouted hoarsely.
The Donghu people are the great enemies of the Huns in this land, now the Donghu people are strong, the Huns are weak, it has always been the Donghu people who pressed the Huns to fight, the place where the Helan Department lives is close to the Donghu people, and has been repeatedly oppressed, the two tribes have always been incompatible, hearing the shouts of the sentinels, dozens of Hun cavalry suddenly snorted, and all pulled out the scimitars in the waist.
"How many Donghu people are there?" He Lanxiong was a little nervous, and this time he only came out with dozens of horsemen.
"Patriarch, there are about a dozen riders and nearly twenty riders, as if they are chasing someone!" The sentry rider panted and said, "I don't know if there is a large group of people behind?"
"One or twenty horsemen, who are they chasing?" He Lanxiong frowned, "He Lanchang, you take a few horsemen to stay here, I'll take a look."
"I'll go too!" Helan Yan shouted.
The two rode their horses, and dozens of horsemen immediately followed.
In the distance, the two horsemen running in front had already been surrounded, and the Donghu cavalry shouted and rode forward to fight with these two people.
"Looking at their uniforms, they look like county soldiers who help the wind?" He Lanxiong was a little surprised.
"Brother, one of them seems to be a smiling tiger!" Helan Yan's eyes widened and she screamed loudly.
"Are you sure?" He Lanxiong said suspiciously: "Gao Yuan doesn't stay in Curie Pass, what are you doing here?" It really looks like it!"
"Oh, brother, don't you care if he looks like him, even if there is no smiling tiger in this, but looking at their uniforms, they must be soldiers from Fufeng County, and if they appear here at this time, they must be Smiling Tiger's subordinates, aren't we just going to Curie Pass, haha, just let Smiling Tiger owe us a favor!"
"In this way, there will be a head-on conflict with the Donghu people!" Helan Xiong took a cool breath.
"Brother, you are afraid of wolves and tigers, just like my good men in Helan Department, can we be patient with all our hearts, and the Donghu people will be merciful to us?" Helan Yan was so anxious that she jumped to her feet.
Helan Xiong jumped into Daxiao, "Yanzi, no, why are you so interested in Gao Yuan, shouldn't you be in love with him?"
Helan Yan's face suddenly turned red, "Brother, what are you talking about, who has taken a fancy to that smiling tiger!" To save or not to save, you can send a message!"
"Help, how can you not save!" Helan Xiong screamed, Huo Di pulled out the scimitar at his waist and clamped the horse's belly, "Brothers, go on!"
Dozens of Hun cavalry shouted in unison and rushed towards the place where the battle was fought in the distance.
At this time, Gao Yuan and the infantry are already extremely dangerous, horse fighting, it is indeed not their specialty, if Gao Yuan is alone, self-protection may not be a problem, but there is one more infantry around, but it is much more troublesome, the two are surrounded by more than a dozen Donghu people in the middle, like a horse-lamp siege, there are several Donghu cavalry on the periphery with bows and arrows, looking for an opportunity to prepare for a blow to kill.
"Bing Cao, you go by yourself, leave me alone!" The bow in the hands of the infantry has been cut off by a scimitar, and at this time, with the knife in both hands, he slashed and slashed like a madman, but in front of the flexible control horse Jishu of the Donghu people, they basically fell in the air.
"Fart, am I the one who abandoned my brother and ran for my life? If you want to escape, run away!" Gao Yuan Haha smiled, rushed forward, and was stabbed on his back, the cowhide armor suddenly broke, blood splattered, but the military thorn in his hand swept the neck of a Donghu man, and beheaded him under the horse.
The Donghu cavalry, who had been holding the two bold Fufeng soldiers who had been teasing them, saw that there were casualties, and they immediately became angry, and Gao Yuan and the infantry immediately became dangerous.
"It seems to be really troublesome this time!" Gao Yuan secretly complained in his heart.
There was a sudden burst of shouting in the distance, Gao Yuan suddenly felt the pressure around him loosen, and when he heard the screams of the Donghu people, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the shouts came from, dozens of horsemen and horses were rolling in, the first one, but it was his old acquaintance He Lanxiong.
Gao Yuan suddenly laughed wildly, the catastrophe is not dead, the catastrophe is not dead, I never imagined that I would meet He Lanxiong and his party here.
The dozen or so Donghu people also saw the opportunity, and when they saw the other party's formation, they didn't fight at all, leaving behind the corpses of Gao Yuan and their companions on the ground, and fled after beating their horses.
The infantry was so tired that they had no strength in their bodies, and they were lying on their horses, panting incessantly.
Helan Xiongle stopped the horse and looked at Gao Yuan, "Brother Gao, don't come to harm!"
"Sick, sick!" Gao Yuan hahadaxiao, turned over and dismounted, grinned: "If you come a little later, you can only collect my body, by the way, Brother Helan, why are you here?"
Helan Xiong dismounted and hurried, the two of them opened their arms and gave a bear hug fiercely, "I guess you have arrived at Curie Pass, aren't you in a hurry to send you a cow, but you happened to bump into this matter, why are you messing with the Donghu people?"
"It's just that I secretly took a look at his old camp, grandma's, and I didn't let go, and Leng chased me for dozens of miles. By the way, Brother Helan, I still have to trouble you!" Gao Yuan suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, Smiling Tiger, why are you so ignorant, if it weren't for us today, you would be kicking your legs, and you still want to trouble us?" He Lanyan pursed her mouth on the side.
"Oh, brother, what trouble do you want to make me?" He Lanxiong would not take these words seriously, and asked while waving his hand to let his subordinates bandage the wounds of the infantry.
"Didn't you say that it was the most haode horse for me, why can't I outrun these Donghu people? I even ran a little ahead of schedule and still caught up with them!" Gao Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "Do you know that if you pass off your inferiority as good, you will kill people?" If you had told me in advance that this horse was not good, I would have run away in advance, and I would not have been so ruthless!"
"No!" He Lanxiong said in surprise, walked up to Gao Yuan's two horses, and patted the horses' necks, "Brother Gao, this is indeed the most Haode horse in our clan."
"Brother, they don't have good riding skills, but they blame our horses, you just find him a magic horse, with his riding skills, he will still catch up with the Donghu people!" He Lanyan sneered on the side, "Smiling Tiger, don't you believe it? Come on, you ride me, I'll ride this bad horse in your mouth, and see if I can catch up with you?"
Gao Yuan glanced at He Lanyan, and then looked at He Lanxiong who was spreading his hands with a wry smile on his face, he couldn't help coughing twice, and he roughly believed the other party's words in his heart, it seems that this riding skill is really not something that can be practiced overnight, and he still thinks that he has good riding skills, but in the eyes of people who grew up on these horses, it is not worth mentioning at all.
"Alright, I believe it!" Gao Yuan immediately interrupted this topic, compared with Helan Yan, there is no reward if he wins, and he loses face when he loses, he will never do such a loss-making thing.
"Brother Helan, this place is not far from Curie Pass, where are we going to talk about it, I also have something to look for you!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"I see, you better wrap up the wound on your back first, otherwise this blood is bubbling, and before you wait for Curie, you will die of excessive bleeding first!" Helan Yan grinned.
