Chapter 30: Ambush

As long as it is an ambush, there are always flaws to follow. When marching and fighting, looking at the celestial phenomena, looking at the terrain and looking at the intelligence, you can always have a prediction of the ambush. And in the current situation, there is almost no other way than to look at luck. Fortunately, Gao Ye's luck today is not bad, although he was a little drowsy along the way, but it was this drowsiness that made him not say a word to the people around him along the way. In addition, the group was already riding slowly, and there was no noisy sound of horses' hooves. Moreover, the guards were even more disciplined, marching all the way without saying a word, which made Gao Ye notice how quiet this night was!

Don't look at it as winter now, it's still cold, but the cold weather doesn't mean that there are no active creatures at night. Voles, foxes and even owls are not uncommon in the woods outside the city. But Gao Ye blurted out Liu Zongyuan's famous sentence, which shows how quiet this land is in this night. As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, it is a demon, and it is reasonable for Gao Ye to determine that there is an ambush here.

It's just that Gao Ye doesn't know how deep he has entered the ambush circle, and he is not sure if there is an ambush waiting for him in front of him. The risk of breaking through the encirclement forward is not small, and there are dense forests not far from both sides, and it is difficult for the cavalry to exert their might and quickly leave the battlefield when they enter such a place, which is harmful and useless. In this case, it is best to turn around immediately and gallop back from the road that has just been safely traveling. Therefore, Gao Ye immediately gestured and ordered everyone to turn the horse's head immediately. It's just that the people and horses of Gao Ye just turned around, and the shouts of killing broke out everywhere, and after the sound of the gong, there was a burst of breaking wind. After a long time on the battlefield, Gao Ye didn't know that this must be a movement of random arrows.

Now that his actions have been discovered by the enemy, Gao Ye doesn't have to care about anything else, and then shouts: "Raise your shield and break through in the direction of Yingdu!" After that, he shouted to Pei Yuanshao next to him: "Let go of the arrow"

As soon as Gao Ye's voice fell, Pei Yuanshao beside him had already lit the arrow in his hand, and then there was a soft sound, and after the light sound, the sky exploded into a firework. It's just that unlike the fireworks in the past, this one has potassium added to it, and the special arrangement of light beads in the inner cylinder makes this fireworks very different from each one in the past. In the past, fireworks actually had no shape, and the colors were only red, yellow, blue and green, and this purple fireworks was the first real appearance. Coupled with the serpentine lift-off, it is even more different. This is what Gao Ye wants, otherwise who can tell whether it is a flower or a signal.

There is a sentence in the movie "Kung Fu" of the star of later generations called "An arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops come to meet each other", and it is not an exaggeration to use it on Gao Ye's body at this time. The main reason why such fireworks are made is to facilitate communication at night. Although Gao Ye still knows a little about the principle of fireworks, if he really wants to make such a high-end thing, he has to rely on those conscientious scientific researchers. It's just that what Gao Ye didn't expect was that what had just been made for a short time came in handy today.

After the soldiers and horses turned around and galloped, Pei Yuanshao released the arrow and notified Gao Shun at home to lead the troops to respond, Gao Ye had time to look at the situation in front of him. However, judging from the density of the torches, Gao Ye found that it was not shallow for him to enter the ambush circle. The enemy will do it, not because they see their gestures, but because it's time for them to do it.

But fortunately, although the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air was endless, after the horses galloped, very few actually shot into the crowd. Judging by the intensity of the torches and each round of arrow rain, Gao Ye soon knew that there was at least one battalion, two thousand men and horses, ambushing him. It's just that it doesn't seem to be a regular army, at least not an elite who has been on the battlefield. All the soldiers and horses who have been on the battlefield will definitely not shoot arrows that are so soft. I just don't know who is ambushing me, but Gao Ye thinks he'll find out soon.

An ambush circle of two thousand people is still very large for a hundred. Don't look at the high night, it takes time to give the order to gallop, turn the horse's head, and increase the horse's speed. By the time Gao Ye's men and horses came into contact with the enemy, the enemy army was already in a large formation. Although it was night, it could still be seen in the moonlit night that the enemy was a simple goose-shaped formation, and the army formation was even arranged to resist horses. For this sharp arrow formation led by himself and only one hundred and two people, the goose-shaped formation was simply an excellent encirclement formation.

Facing the rejection of the horse in front of him, Gao Ye was really congested, and the bow and arrow of the soldier on the opposite side were naturally a lot more powerful at such a close distance of fifty meters. More than a dozen people have been shot off their horses in 100 people, and if they don't stand out again, they are afraid that the consequences will be worrying. However, there was a rejection of the horse in front of him, and the war horse could not pass at all, so he could only stretch out his hand and order the whole army to break through on the flank. Gao Ye took the lead and went straight to the right to kill. The vertical and horizontal swords in his hand were constantly swinging to block the feather arrows flying from the side.

It was only Gao Ye's horse's head that turned around, and as soon as he ran two steps, Gao Ye suddenly felt his body sink, and there was a neighing of the shadow, and Gao Ye's whole person almost exploded his scalp. Between the lightning and flint, Gao Ye kicked the stirrup straight into the air from the body of the Jerugin, leaned back and did a somersault, and did not forget to wave the double sword in his hand, although the left shoulder was still inevitably hit by an arrow, fortunately it still landed firmly on the ground.

He didn't dare to slack off when he fell to the ground, although there was some pain in his shoulders, but he didn't dare to stop with the double swords in his hands. Pei Yuanshao immediately jumped off the horse, dancing with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, guarding Gao Ye's side. It's just that the luck of those cavalry who turned the corner was not so good, and the horse pit was not only in the position where Gao Ye rode his horse out just now, just by hearing the screams, Gao Ye knew that his subordinates were only afraid that they had suffered a lot of losses.

Gao Ye was annoyed in his heart, but he was even more secretly lucky, fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have fallen into the pit, and he might not have to fall into anything. Moreover, the cavalry behind him turned directly to the right, and did not follow closely behind him, otherwise even if he reacted quickly, he would have to be knocked back into the pit by the cavalry behind him.

I can hear the neighing of the war horses, and Gao Ye can't care so much, there are so many traps, I am afraid that I will continue to advance, and I don't know how much trouble awaits me. Especially when Gao Ye heard the shouting and killing behind him getting closer and closer, Gao Ye was even more frightened by the situation in front of him. In the end, Gao Ye has been in battle for a long time, and the more he reaches this kind of crisis, the clearer his heart becomes. When trying to survive in death, the last thing you can do is be hot-headed.

Therefore, Gao Ye raised the long sword in his hand and shouted: "All dismount and form a circle to meet the enemy!" Gao Ye was roaring with almost all his strength, and those guards who had just been a little flustered seemed to have found the backbone of the heart in an instant, and almost in a few breaths, the rest of the people gathered around Gao Ye. Gao Ye looked at it a little, and now there were only two-thirds of the hundred-strong guards left.

However, the circle array has the advantage of a circle array, and when everyone has a shield, it is no problem to resist the flying feather arrows. Although the other party has 2,000 soldiers and horses, as long as they form a formation, they can still resist for a while with these dozens of people. What's more, this army of soldiers and horses is not even elite, and it can resist for a while longer. His own signal has been sent, Gao Shun on the grange must be already gathering people at this time, as long as his own guards and Gao Shun's trap camp arrive, these people are just chickens and dogs. So in this battle, it's not yourself who wants to grab time, it's the other party. As long as the opponent starts to attack, the rain of arrows will not be the same as it is now.

In fact, the rain of arrows only swept after another round, and then stopped, and the shouts of killing came from all directions. The gap in the shield can be seen in the high night, and the enemy is about to rush up. As far as the eye can see, there are all enemy troops, and even Gao Ye can't help but take a breath of cool air. Then he sneered, broke the shaft of the arrow on his shoulder, and shouted: "Take out your fighting spirit and courage!" There are many people on the other side, but it is all a group of rabble, and who have my guards been afraid of! Now General Gao Shun is already on the way to lead the troops, as long as we hold on and hold on until General Gao Shun arrives, it will be a victory! ”

As soon as Gao Ye's voice fell, the remaining dozens of people hit the shield with their swords and shouted, "War, War, War", and the momentum was lifted for a while. Seeing that the enemy was about to be killed, Gao Ye even pulled up the long sword that had just been inserted in the ground, raised it in his hand, and shouted: "Kill with me!" ”

Almost at the moment when the word killing was shouted in the high night, the sound of gold and iron resonating sounded. The Guards were already strong in battle, although they did not have heavy armor on their bodies, and they only had swords and shields in their hands, but under the command of Pei Yuanshao, they were even blocked from all sides, and the formation cooperation had even reached the point of physical instinct. As for Gao Ye, he has already gone out of the battle, don't look at Gao Ye's lack of horses and gold, but with this pair of swords in hand, even if it is a foot battle, it is still not something that these big-headed soldiers can stop.

On the one hand, the stubborn resistance of the Guards, and on the other hand, the brave rush of the high night, the offensive of 2,000 people really made no progress for a while, but there was a tendency of defeat and retreat. However, Gao Ye knew that this equilibrium was only temporary, and there were many people on the other side, and if his own people fought for a long time, they would be lost sooner or later. For today's trend, it can only hold on for a while, as long as Gao Shun's soldiers arrive, as long as!

Therefore, the double swords in Gao Ye's hands couldn't help but become more powerful, and the place where the swords passed could be described as bloody and bloody. For a while, no one dared to approach Gao Ye's side. Killing rose, Gao Ye was even more unscrupulous to harvest human lives, suddenly a sword slashed, but the person was a block, a backhand sword stabbed straight towards Gao Ye's door, Gao Ye retreated suddenly, only to see a person with a long sword across his chest, looking at Gao Ye with blazing eyes.
