Chapter 187: Night Attack on the Turkic Ambush
The cavalry who asked stopped talking, seemed to be watching them carefully, this is Gao Huan's sleeve arrow flew by, the cavalry fell to the ground in response, and then the three cavalry rushed over, Gao Aocao pulled out a long knife and rushed forward on foot, only to see the Turkic cavalry brandishing a scimitar and slashing at his head, Gao Aocao bent down and slashed the long knife in his hand on the horse's leg, and suddenly the cavalry fell to the ground, Murong Shaozong stepped forward to make up for his chest, and with a thud, blood splashed his face.
At this time, the second cavalry had already brandished a scimitar to kill in front of him, his target was Murong Shaozong, and he was about to rush in front of him, suddenly Gao Aocao pounced on him with all his might, saying that it was too late, that time was fast, and he saw that the long knife in his hand quickly wiped on the neck of the cavalryman, and the blood of Bo Bo went straight out, and the cavalryman was so choked by his own blood that he couldn't speak, and he died on the spot with a coughing sound in his throat.
The last remaining Turkic cavalry saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran, Gao Aocao and Murong Shaozong and others were on foot, and could not catch up with him at all, at this time Gao Aocao was about to turn over and get on his horse to chase him, only to see Gao Huan open his bow and arrow and aim with his breath closed, let go, only to hear a bowstring sound, and the Turkic cavalry, who had run not far away, fell to the ground and fell off the horse, and the horse that lost its rider also slowly stopped. Although it was night, it was transparent with the moonlight and the distance was close, so Gao Huan's arrow shot more accurately.
But it was still applauded by everyone, Gao Huan asked people to bring the horse back, and at this time, he must not expose the whereabouts of his army, otherwise everything will be wasted. They and their group returned safely to the hidden place of the army, Gao Aocao and Murong Shaozong began to act according to the previous deployment, Murong Shaozong's 3,000 elite cavalry as the main force of the assault, Gao Huan's 10,000 people scattered on both sides, and Gao Aocao's 7,000 people were outflanked behind.
At about two o'clock in the middle of the night in the second half of the night, under Gao Huan's order, the archers first shot a burst of fire arrows, and soon there was a scream in the valley, and then Murong Shaozong's people and Gao Huan's people began to hit the Turks who were still sleeping in the valley from the hillside, and the Turks who were sleeping in a daze were suddenly awakened and were caught off guard by the Wei army who rushed into the camp before they could figure out what was going on, and many tents were on fire, and some of the people inside couldn't even escape.
The entire Turkic camp was in a sea of fire, swords and swords screamed, Gao Huan himself personally put on the battle to slash and kill the enemy, he wanted to set an example for the whole army, with him on the front line, the morale of his soldiers was greatly increased.
The raging fire of the burning tent scorched Gao Huan's cheeks, making his face feel hot, and a disheveled Turkic suddenly appeared in front of him, almost colliding with him, only to see that the man was at least one meter nine tall, **** upper body, his face was full of sweat and oil, and there was a black charcoal fire, and he was holding a scimitar in his hand.
As soon as the two were opposite, the Turk raised his scimitar and shouted and slashed at his head, Gao Huan easily blocked his attack with the spear in his hand, and stabbed him in the chest, the Turk was also very agile to block this stab, and suddenly grabbed the spear with one hand, Gao Huan felt dragged forward by him, this man had a lot of strength, he felt that he was going to be dragged by his opponent, so he sent the spear forward with force, the Turk didn't expect him to suddenly let go, and fell backwards with his back facing the sky.
Gao Huan took advantage of the situation and pulled out the ancestral Pu knife on his waist, this knife had not drunk blood for a long time, at this time, the cold light flashed with a chill, he rushed up and slashed indiscriminately, and the tall man could only fall to the ground to parry. Suddenly, Gao Huan tripped over the Turk's leg, and the situation reversed. He fell to the ground sideways, the Pu knife was pressed under him by himself, the Turkic man quickly stood up, the expression on his face looked very hideous, I saw him raise his scimitar and cut down on Gao Huan's neck, at this time Gao Huan could only wait for death.
Suddenly, the Turkic man screamed, the scimitar in his hand had not been cut off, I saw him kneeling down with empty eyes, and fell on Gao Huan head-on, at this time Gao Huan found that this person had a spear stuck in his back, Gao Aocao ran over from a distance and dragged the heavy corpse away from him, Gao Huan was already covered in cold sweat, just now he almost died in the hands of this girl, Tai Nima was thrilling.
Gao Aocao stretched out his hand and dragged Gao Huan up, and asked with concern, "Prime Minister, are you okay?" Gao Huan was about to answer, when an arrow suddenly hit his left arm, he screamed, Gao Aocao turned around and slashed a Turk who secretly surrounded him, he turned back to Gao Huan and shouted: "You withdraw first, leave it to me here." "It seems that the number of enemies is far greater than theirs, although it is already an ambush and sneak attack, but there are still many Turks who have risen up to resist, this is why he can't go, if he withdraws, the army's spirit will only be shaken.
Gao Huan gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow on his arm with a force, and simply bandaged it from the rotten cloth strip on the side, at this time Gao Aocao was deeply surrounded, and several Turks were watching and fiddling with the scimitar in their hands to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack him. Murong Shaozong rode over at this time, and Gao Huan also stood up and shouted, "Kill me!" If you don't leave a single one, whoever dares to resist will be killed! With that, he lifted the Pu knife in his hand, and waved his right hand and rushed towards those people. Gao Huan went up and cut down a Turk first. Then he shouted: "Come on, fight with Lao Tzu, you come." At this point, he had gone into mad killing mode.
After an hour of fierce fighting, some of the Turks still fled, and most of the rest were killed, Gao Huan sat on a stone, surrounded by all kinds of silverware: wine glasses, trays, containers, and things that the Turks liked silver. The sky was starting to turn white, and they had to get out of here. Otherwise, the army of the Golden Horde will surround him at any time, and he will definitely be in danger.
He was covered in blood and disheveled, several cuts on his body were tormented by sweat, he didn't know whether the blood on his body was his own or someone else's, at this moment he was wiping the blood stains on the ancestral Pu knife, and the blade that had just drunk the blood was unusually bright and sharp. Gao Aocao and Murong Shaozong walked side by side. Gao Aocao's helmet was gone, and his big bald head looked very shiny. "King, we're almost done, it's time to withdraw." Murong Shaozong looked at Gao Huan in a daze and said.
Gao Huan was stunned for a moment and then came back to his senses, and said to Gao Aocao: "You take someone to take charge of the palace, don't fall in love with the chasing soldiers, we have won this battle, but the Turks will definitely not give up, we need to discuss the countermeasures." Gao Aocao nodded seriously and did not speak. Murong Shaozong followed behind with a large number of prisoners.
When the army passed by Yonggu, they saw that the Han army defending the city was standing on the city wall, silently looking at these prisoners and carts full of silverware. Gao Huan felt that their expressions were all strange, and he saw the guard standing on the gatehouse at the entrance of the town and saluting him. The other defenders also saluted Gao Huan, in fact, like these people, he did not know what kind of revenge the Turks would take, but at the moment they were victors. The Turkic captives were dejectedly tied around their necks with ropes, one after the other, strung together like sugar gourds.
The Golden Horde Khan was drinking with Xie Sichun in the royal court, and the two of them had just negotiated the conditions to form an alliance, when a chief broke in and said a lot in Turkic language, Xie Sichun didn't understand a word, but he could tell from the Golden Horde's face that something bad must have happened. I saw the Golden Horde Khan get up and say something loudly, only to see two warriors coming in from outside the tent, Xie Sichun was startled, thinking that he was going to cut himself, these barbarians are moody, and they are not reasonable at all, depending on the mood.
The two warriors followed the chief out of the big tent, and only then did the Golden Horde Khan sit down, pick up his wine glass, and suddenly asked Xie Sichun in stiff Chinese: "What kind of person is your old opponent Gao Huan?" Xie Sichun didn't expect that he would suddenly ask himself about Gao Huan, so he quickly recalled some things about Gao Huan in his mind, and then said: 'Gao Huan? He's an ambitious man, he's very good at using tricks, he used to have a very good military advisor, but as far as we know, that advisor is dead. “
"So what is your conclusion about Gao Huan, can he defeat me?" The Golden Horde Khan stared at Xie Sichun and asked. Xie Sichun couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he said: "He's a very powerful guy, but he definitely can't defeat you at the moment, you can rest assured." The Golden Horde Khan asked in hot pursuit, "You mean that as long as you give him time, he can defeat me in the future, right?" Xie Sichun was a little embarrassed, what kind of questions were these, he could only answer honestly: "I can't say for sure what will happen in the future, but for now, he definitely doesn't have the strength to defeat you." ”
The Golden Horde Khan was silent when he heard this, took a sip of mare's milk wine from his wine glass, and then said with a blank face: "This man named Gao Huan has just defeated tens of thousands of people of the Dada tribe in my south, captured and plundered a lot of our property, cattle, sheep and people. Xie Sichun was shocked when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart that this Gao Huan is already so powerful, dare to fight the Turks head-on? I only heard the Golden Horde Khan continue: "This despicable villain took advantage of the night to sneak attack us, I must make him pay for it with blood!" ”
When the Turks attacked Yunzhong County in Shuozhou, many of the people and livestock were plundered, and Gao Huan offered to exchange the Turkic captives for the Han Chinese, and the Golden Horde Khan replied that he would fight Gao Huan to the death in Yonggu, and then exchange prisoners. Gao Huan thought it was very strange, he had to fight to the death and exchange a fart captive, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.
The date of the decisive battle was chosen five days later, why delay for five days, in order to buy the opportunity for Yuwentai in Guanzhong to send troops, his fifteen men had already come out of Gongtong Pass three days ago, and were besieging Luoyang, Anping, Hanoi, Yingyang and other places at the moment. Five days was enough time for him to sweep the entire Sizhou. Gao Huan got the news that Luoyang was attacked the day after that.
Despite this, Gao Huan still decided to fight to the death with the Golden Horde Khan first, because he knew that as long as he retreated south, the Turks would follow them like evil tigers, and the Turkic cavalry came like lightning and went like the wind, and it was not a problem at all to run hundreds of miles in a day and a night, and he would only be chased and beaten by the enemy on his back and back, so it was better to take the risk of fighting with the Turks.
Outside the Great Wall, twenty miles away from Yonggu, the base camp of the Golden Horde Khan has been moved here at this time, and a large number of Turks have converged here, and the mountains are full of various totemic flags and tents. They were accompanied by a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.
Gao Huan was having breakfast in Yonggu City, this was a sudden bell, this was the alarm of the Turkic invasion, Gao Huan put down his chopsticks and was about to get up, this was Sun Teng and Xu Mingzhi hurriedly ran in, Xu Ming stepped forward and said: "King Qiqi, a large number of Turks suddenly appeared outside the city, and General Gao has taken people out to investigate." "There are still two days left on the date of the decisive battle, why did the Turks suddenly appear in Yonggu, what does this mean? Gao Huan asked, "How many of them are there?" Have you launched an attack on us? ”
Sun Teng replied: "The specific number is unknown, according to my eye, there should be at least 20,000 people, and all of them are cavalry." At the moment, they are just waiting and seeing that there is no attack on us. At this time, a young general ran in: "King Qiqi." General Gao went out of the city to investigate the situation and was surrounded by enemy troops, and General Murong asked to take someone out to rescue him at this moment, and asked the king to make it clear. "Gao Aocao is surrounded, this is a terrible thing, he is now a capable leader that Gao Huan values very much, and he can't make any mistakes. (To be continued.) )
