Chapter Twenty-Four: Descending the Stars
"Report to the general, thirty miles outside the city, a large number of enemy troops have been found." The scout reported to Gao Huan, who was discussing with the generals in front of the sand table. Gao Huan was wearing a silver robe and armor at this time, a golden iron helmet, and he was also young, so he had a majestic posture between his gestures.
"How many enemy troops are coming? Who is in charge? What army configuration? Gao Huan picked up the water cup and asked as if he were a cannon.
"The number of enemy troops is about fifty or sixty thousand, the main general is not known for the time being, they are mainly cavalry, probably the scout vanguard army."
"Well, you go down and probe, if there is any new movement of the enemy army, report back to me immediately." Gao Huan rubbed his chin and said.
"The last will be ordered." The scout quickly retreated.
The cavalry is mostly difficult to fight positional warfare, and the infantry mainly advances slowly in the phalanx, while the cavalry has its unique mobility and uses the purpose of attacking and cutting local infantry, so the infantry can rarely confront the cavalry on the frontal battlefield. Gao Huan's mind was full of thinking about how to crack the cavalry's tactics at this time.
I vaguely remember that I had read about the tactics of tripping horses in a book before, and I had used it to try my skills when attacking Changle, and the effect seemed to be good, but I didn't know if it was good to use this trick in large-scale positional warfare, and I didn't wait for me, the enemy was already very close to the city, and Gao Huan couldn't think about it anymore.
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it was better to take the initiative to attack, Gao Huan left the defenders of the city, led most of the cavalry to cooperate with the infantry, and prepared to block the enemy at Qingfengkou.
In front of the Qingfengkou formation, Gao Huan led the army to sit in the middle army, Li Erhu was in the left army, and Guan Yi was in the right army. On the opposite side, there was also a line of more than a dozen generals standing in front of the formation, only to see a tall and mighty bearded military general clapping his horse and stepping forward, and asked loudly: "Where is He Liuhun?" Come out and answer! ”
me alone again? Gao Huan thought to himself, then turned his horse and took a few steps forward, and immediately arched his hand: "I am Gao Huan, who are you?" ”
The general immediately bowed his hand and said very disdainfully: "Zhao Siliu, the vanguard general under the command of King Qi of Lao Tzu, are you that Gao Huan He Liuhun?" I am a hero of what kind of person, it turns out that I am just a useless white face born after the first one, hahaha. The crowd behind him laughed.
"You don't know if it's used or not." Gao Huan was not to be outdone.
"Okay, well, Hugh has to say more. You and I will try the level before the battle, and see if you are useful. Then the general turned around and shouted, "Come, get my sword." I saw that the two people behind the formation were carrying a Daguan knife nearly two meters long together, and they walked forward with great difficulty. The knife is extremely sharp, and the hair is broken. The blade is shiny silver, and the handle is also made of wrought copper.
Gao Huan couldn't help frowning, and secretly screamed in his heart: Such a long big knife, I guess it's enough to choke. But the morale of the two armies could not be lost in front of the formation, and he also turned around and shouted: "Come, bring up my ancestral Pu knife!" ”
The two of them were forty or fifty steps apart, riding war horses and standing opposite each other, only to see Zhao Siliu holding a knife and prancing on a horse and shouting loudly. Gao Huan was also able to tighten the spear in his hand, gritted his teeth and went towards Zhao Siliu, only to see the two of them facing each other, the spear was inseparable, twisted for a while, and mixed together for a while, several times Zhao Siliu's big knife almost cut Gao Huan's brain, and Li Erhu, Guan Yi and others who watched it were shocked.
The two sat on the man to fight people, saddled off the horse and fought the horse, and fought for forty or fifty rounds without a win. But Gao Huan gradually felt that his physical strength was about to be overdrawn, but Zhao Siliu was getting more and more energetic at this time, and a cooked copper Daguan knife in his hand was dancing vigorously.
Suddenly, I saw Zhao Siliu slash at Gao Huan's head again, Gao Huan had to use the spear in his hand to push the knife edge to the side, and with a click, the knife edge slashed Gao Huan's shoulder, and cut the shoulder guard into it by an inch! Gao Huan suffered pain on his shoulder, and was also pressed down by Zhao Siliu with a knife.
I saw Gao Huan grabbing the handle of the big knife with his backhand, losing the spear in his forehand, pulling out the ancestral Pu knife he was carrying in his waist and pulling Zhao Siliu in front of him, saying that it was too late and that was fast, only to hear a snort, Zhao Siliu had a disbelieving expression on his face, the corners of his mouth slowly flowed blood, and he muttered in his mouth: "You...... You ......" before he finished speaking, he fell off his horse. Gao Huan also used his last strength to snatch the big knife in his hand, turned around and shouted to the main formation: "Brothers, kill!" ”
Li Erhu, Guan Yi, Gao Yue and others couldn't bear it for a long time, drew their swords and jumped on the horse and shouted and rushed towards the enemy, that Ge Rongjun didn't understand how Zhao Siliu was beheaded by Gao Huan's array, and saw a group of fierce and vicious ghosts rushing over on the opposite side, and the formation was suddenly chaotic, and several generals couldn't suppress the chaotic soldiers at all, everyone only cared about themselves and fled for their lives, and there were few who resisted at all, Gao Huan was also relieved when he saw this, and as soon as he was relieved, he only felt that the sky was spinning and it was dark in front of him, and he fell off the horse and fainted.
When he woke up, Gao Huan opened his eyes and saw himself sleeping in the room, still thinking in his mind: How did I come back? The battle is over? As soon as I wanted to get up, I saw a person sleeping on the side of the bed, which was Ruyi.
Seeing that the sky was bright, Gao Huan wanted to get up and dress gently, but he didn't want to wake up Ruyi, who was sleeping, but saw Xiao Nizi's eyes red and said happily: "Official, you're awake, it's great!" Li Erhu and others, who were waiting in the outdoor living room, also entered the room to check when they heard the news. Everyone knelt down together: "Big brother, you're awake, are you okay...... Eldest brother. ”
Gao Huan felt a little tinnitus and dizziness, but he felt that his body should be fine, and his whole body was not painful or itchy. Rubbing his temples with one hand, Gao Huan asked, "I remember fainting in front of the battle, what happened later?" ”
"Big brother, after you fainted, Gao Yue carried you back to the city alone." Li Erhu said, Gao Yue was standing at the door at this time and looked at him.
"Brother Yue, come here." Gao Huan beckoned to Gao Yue, Gao Yue walked to the side of the bed with an embarrassed face, and said in his mouth, "Big brother...... You can rest in peace. ”
Gao Huan held Gao Yue's hands and said emotionally: "As the saying goes, when you go into battle, father and son soldiers, fight tiger brothers." I am very happy to have a brother like you in my life, big brother, thank you. ”
"What did the eldest brother say, why did you and I come here so politely since we are brothers?" Gao Yue was also excited.
"Okay, okay, although the official is awake, the doctor said that you still need to rest more, you all go out, go quickly." Xiao Ruyi began to pick people out, and everyone saw that Gao Huan's face was tired, and they all bowed down and exited the room.
"Daguan, you're okay, if you want to eat something, Ruyi will make it for you now." Ruyi looked at Gao Huan with pity and said.
"I'm fine. Little thing, how long did I come back and sleep? Gao Huan asked while lying on the couch.
"Actually, it didn't take long, just a day and a night, but you know what? We were all terrified when we saw you being carried back by Gao Yue, but fortunately you had no other wounds on your body except for a little abrasion on your left shoulder. Xiao Ruyi's serious expression was very funny.
Gao Huan suddenly found that his clothes had been changed, and combined with what Ruyi had just said, he couldn't help asking, "How do you know that I don't have other wounds on my body?" Who gave me a change of clothes? ”
Xiao Ruyi's face turned red instantly when she heard this, she lowered her head to play with the ribbon hanging down from her clothes, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "I am a maid by the official's side, so naturally, it is...... I changed it. ”
Damn, you little girl has seen me through! Gao Huan's head began to dizzy again. But seeing the delicate and beautiful figure of Ruyi, Gao Huan's heart suddenly moved, and he walked to her barefoot on the couch, hugged her hands gently, held the little man in his arms, and walked straight to the bed.
"Big official......" Xiao Ruyi looked shy, hiding in Gao Huan's arms and not daring to raise his head. She vaguely knew what was about to happen, and her heart was full of sweetness, but she never expected that Gao Huan would toss six times before and after this day, as if she was going to squeeze her dry and eat it all, but every time she made this little girl's soul fly out of the sky and be tired of it.
"Official, can I tell you something?" Xiao Ruyi fell into Gao Huan's arm, and Xiao Sheng asked.
"What's the matter, you can tell me." Gao Huan lovingly played with the beautiful face of the little girl in her arms, bowed her head and kissed deeply. It's been a long time since I felt like this, since that night and Lou Mingchun, it's been almost a year, and now everything about the little man in his arms makes him think of Lou Mingchun frequently, and the guilt of Ruyi and the longing for Lou Mingchun in his heart are getting heavier and heavier.
"The big officials are also powerful in the imperial court, don't you have any thoughts in the face of the current situation in the world?" Ruyi struggled to get up from Gao Huan's arms and looked at him with a serious face.
"What do you mean by that?" Gao Huan didn't understand what she meant, and she felt a little hairy when she looked at her.
"Now I am a big official, your roommate, there are some things I don't want to hide from the big official, because it can be said that you are the most important person in my heart, I don't want to hide anything from you, I can't do it......" After that, the little girl actually lowered her head and wanted to cry.
What does that mean? Gao Huan had a bewildered expression, and then comforted him distressedly: "Don't cry, of course I know that you are really good to me." Tell me anything, and I promise not to get angry. ”
Xiao Ruyi wiped her tears, looked up at Gao Huan with a serious face for a long time, and continued, "To be honest, I wasn't originally a cook in the Assassin's Mansion. ”
Gao Huan was taken aback when he heard this, his mouth opened into an O-shape, and he had an expression of disbelief.
I only listened to Ruyi and said slowly: "I was the widow of King Zhangwu, my father died in the battle for the rights of the royal family, I was raised by my brother Yuanrong since I was a child, in recent years, the rule of the court has become more and more dim, and the people riot frequently, I thought I needed to find a great man who could establish the world Kuang Zheng and the opposition, so I ran away from home and searched for it alone." You may not know, but in fact, I have been apprenticed since I was a child, and I also learned kung fu. ”
"As early as the first battle of Huaishuo, I heard people talk about your name as an official, and at that time you were just a small town general, and you didn't get into my eyes. I never thought that I would hide in the Cangzhou Assassin Mansion later, and I met Ge Rongbing besieging Cangzhou, and I happened to see your righteous act of saving people in the city when the city was broken, so I wanted to test you, I didn't want you to be a gentleman, and I didn't do anything excessive from beginning to end, which surprised me. ”
"Now that you are still the husband of Megatron, I secretly think that you may be the person I have been looking for, a person who can help me restore the glory of the country, and a person who can help my father realize his long-cherished wish......" Ruyi looked at Gao Huan affectionately at this time, and Gao Huan was at a loss.
"That...... Ruyi, no, it's the county lord, I will state one thing first. After feeling that he had slept in a daze and was in such a serious situation as being the county lord, Gao Huan said very embarrassedly: "Since you and I are already like this, I think no matter what happens in the future, we can discuss it well, we must not do it, let alone murder our husband, right?" "He is paving the way for his future marriage to Lou Mingchun, according to age and generation, Lou Mingchun should be Gao Huan's main room, which is also what Gao Huan has always dreamed of, but now he suddenly inserts a county lord, and he is also a county lord who knows martial arts, which is very difficult to do.
"What did the official say, since I have voluntarily committed myself to you now, I will not quarrel with you because of some trivial things, but I am also from the royal family, but I am thinking, you should not announce the identity of my county lord for the time being, so as not to cause extraneous trouble." After that, Ruyi also picked up Gao Huan's rough hand with affection and rubbed it on his little face.
In this way, you can understand the various actions of Ruyi before. Of course, Gao Huan naturally won't know about those things, and he will never know.
