18. Ambush
The endless forest is like a borderless desert, but here it is more terrible than the desert, people's vision is blocked by trees, and the Huns who have experienced a hundred battles are also uneasy because of the different natural environment, this kind of cowardice before the battle spreads among the Huns, even if these Huns are predators, but they will inevitably fear the unknown.

Ye Feng couldn't pray that the Gauls wouldn't attack them, he had to change this uneasiness immediately, otherwise his Hun tribe might collapse at the touch of a button, and no one could hold out long in the face of fear and insecurity.
And the best, and the only thing Ye Feng could use, was the will of God, using the superstitious ideas of the Huns. While these Huns were resting, Ye Feng gathered them together. Loudly yelled:
"I, I have received the will of the Immortal Heaven, the Immortal Heaven let us pass through the forest, this is the will of the Immortal Heaven, this is our hunting ground, the enemy will not be able to find us because of the forest, the Immortal Heaven will protect us! Now, let's go hunting!
Enemy arrows will be blocked by trees, enemy swords will be entangled in vines, and enemy lives will be devoured by poisonous snakes.
...”
Ye Feng used the will of the Immortal Heaven as a reason to tell these Huns not to be afraid of the natural environment of the forest, but to be happy about it, because this is the Immortal Heaven to bless them.
And sometimes, the psychological comfort effect of religion is very striking. As soon as these Huns heard that the forest was the blessing of the Immortal Heaven, their psychological state completely changed, and they were originally very afraid of the unknown enemy emerging in the forest, but now, they were very eager for the appearance of the enemy, so that they could sacrifice to the Immortal Heaven.
Towering trees, vines as thick as an adult's arm and thigh, and fallen leaves that fall to the ground, and decaying trees. The moss-green earth, the forests of Gaul are like a big net in which people are lassoed.
Just as the Huns were desperately hungry and thirsty for their enemy to attack, suddenly, with a whoosh, a flying arrow slashed across the sky and burrowed into the neck of a Hun warrior in front of Ye Feng, who covered his neck and fell to the ground. His unwilling face to die was frozen in Ye Feng's heart.
The Hun warriors who died were none other than the Huns who helped Ivan defeat the giant that day. But he died alive in front of Ye Feng, and Ye Feng's iron-solid heart softened. looked at the body of the living person who had been talking and laughing with him before, losing his vitality and falling to the ground without vitality.
It was difficult for Ye Feng to say what kind of feeling it was, in short, there were five flavors of grain in his heart, there was anger, shock, grief, happiness and fear. What if the one who was shot was himself?
The Gallic tribal archer smiled triumphantly, he didn't know his arrows could be so accurate.
Immediately after, a whooshing sound sounded in the air.
"Enemy attack!!"
Kahaba shouted, but at this time the Huns did not fall into chaos, they were not settled Huns, who had long lost their blood, but fierce nomadic Huns, and even some were bare-chested, and were shot in the arm by arrows, and the bloody Huns cursed:
"Is this a bunch of Gallic kids? The arrows are so soft! I didn't even shoot through Lao Tzu's arm! Haha!"
With a furious fury like the flames of hell in his eyes, he drew his scimitar with his uninjured hand and ran towards the Gauls who were shooting arrows. By this time the Gallic tribal archers had been exposed, they were hiding in the depths of the dense forest, but the direction of the rain of arrows still exposed them.
Ye Feng sighed, the most terrible situation still came, an ambush, but fortunately, he had already mobilized these murderers in advance, so that they would not be very afraid of the forest, an environment they had never encountered.
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
The chiefs of the various tribes shouted at the same time, but by this time the Gauls had begun to retreat in an orderly manner with their knowledge of the terrain, shooting arrows as they retreated, in order to hinder the Huns' attack, if this was a settled Hun, then the Gauls might still have a chance of victory, but they were met by the elite nomadic Huns of the nomadic Huns, who were almost a few horses per man, in this case, the Gauls would have to pay a high price for their light enemies.
It wasn't the first time Ye Feng had seen the Gauls, but he hadn't seen the Gallic tribes in the forest, they were even more warlike and savage. These Gauls were typical Caucasians, their skin was as white as cream, their men's hair was as long as that of women's, their shawls were long, their hair was brown or golden, and they were dressed in animal skins.
They lived in grass huts or wooden huts, and their weapons were very rudimentary, with no heavy chain mail, only animal skin coats and leather armor, but they were more warlike and brave, often with a broken shield handed down from their ancestors, a worn-out long silence, and a short axe used to cut wood, which constituted their rudimentary tools of war.
They are both hunters and warriors, picking up a hunting bow to hunt and also aim at humans. However, the hunting bow is not very powerful, and the muzzle velocity is slow, so the armor-piercing effect is poor.
The forest hindered the horse's galloping to a certain extent, but it was the same obstacle for the Gauls, who were familiar with the forest, and even if the horse's speed was slower, it was faster than a man, unless it was a dangerous mountain, which was the best place for the infantry to defeat the cavalry, after all, the horse could not climb the mountain.
And as long as the soldiers overcome the fear of being ambushed and do not fall into chaos, their disadvantage is not obvious. Although in the forest where there was no human figure, the Gauls seemed endless, but the Huns, carried away by anger and religion, did nothing, did nothing, had no discipline and no formation.
Like wild horses that have escaped the leash, they exert their instinctive bloodthirsty impulses, using bows and arrows, scimitars, and horses' hooves to attack their enemies, one by one, as if crazy.
The Gauls had never seen such a terrible enemy, and they were terrified, and the galloping horses seemed endless. The Huns were densely packed, hiding in the forest, and the Gallic tribesmen were afraid. And they were a union of tribes, numbering only about a thousand people. Face the Huns who charge like demons.
Some of the Gallic tribal leaders who did not agree to attack the Huns led the tribesmen and chose to retreat, while some Gauls were still fighting to the death, so a strange scene occurred on the battlefield, obviously the Gauls were not defeated, but some Gauls were attacking, and some Gauls were fleeing.
Ye Feng was also embarrassed, Yabu Yi was pierced by trees, and his face was also cut by thorns, and red blood came out. He was following the general offensive strategy of the Huns, and decided to attack the Gauls in the rear.
