Chapter 171: Believe in Yourself
The bright moon hung high, and the military camp at night was filled with smoke, and the soldiers seemed to have eaten and drunk enough, and were dozing around the bonfire.
This valley seems to be very secluded, and there is no need to worry about the north wind rolling in the wild sand, and the warriors have suffered a lot when they walked in the desert before.
The lights in the big tent were bright, and Gao Rui was sitting by the bookcase, reading at night.
In addition to the book, there was also a sword on the table.
This is the best position to draw your sword in self-defense in times of crisis.
It was already late at night, and there was no other sound to be heard except for the soldiers patrolling in twos and threes, and the moon was dark and the wind was high, and only the wolves in the distance could be heard roaring at the moon.
There was a "bang", and the brazier outside seemed to be overturned.
After a while, hurried footsteps and noisy shouts were heard.
"The enemy is attacking at night, hurry up and be on alert!"
A centurion with a spear in his hand shouted loudly into the camps.
Unaware of the sudden attack of the enemy, the soldiers rubbed their sleepy eyes, just sat up from the tent, and just wanted to lift the curtain, but they were pierced into the chest by the oncoming spears, and the blood spurted out stained the tent red.
The sound of the clashing blades and the screams of the soldiers echoed each other, but Gao Rui was still sitting in the big tent, looking out through the tent, one by one black shadows intertwined with each other, and then fell down, but he didn't seem to panic, as if he had expected the enemy to launch this surprise attack.
At this moment, the tent was opened, and a thin figure broke into the tent.
Gao Rui couldn't help but raise his head, his right hand was already firmly gripping the sword on the table.
"General, the ambush of the enemy army among us, without further ado, let's withdraw quickly!" , The person who broke in, Rank, he covered his right arm with one hand, and seemed to be seriously injured, he looked at Gao Rui anxiously, and said breathlessly.
It seems that Ranke doesn't know, since a few defeats, the black army is actually much worse than before, as the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, the black army seems to be in a daze, wherever they go, there will naturally be an enemy ambush.
There are spies of the White Army in this army, and Gao Rui already knew about this matter, but the spies seem to be hidden very deeply, but people can't grasp the handle.
You succeed or fail, you live or die, at this tense moment, when you don't find the spies in the army, no one can believe it.
Now that Ranke was able to cover his retreat in such an emergency, Gao Rui thought that he should be a credible man.
Gao Rui stood up, patted Ranke on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be nervous about the military, all this is ......"
I tried to tell him everything, but it was too late.
From the door of the tent, a sharp arrow suddenly flew in, not missing the slightest, and hit Rank's heart.
Blood splattered all over Gao Rui's face, and Rank's hand was still clutching his robe, struggling to utter a few words from his mouth.
"You...... Why...... Don't listen to me! ”
This seems to be a reproachful word, Ranke's bitter words, Gao Rui seems to have no intention of listening, but he didn't expect Ranke to be alive and worried about his life before he died.
Gao Rui's face was pale, but there was no trace of sadness, he looked at Ranke who fell to the ground, and said coldly.
"In the troubled times, no one believes in me, only in myself!"
"You're ......!" , Rank's eyes widened, he pointed at Gao Rui with one hand, and covered his chest tightly with the other, and before he could finish a sentence, he had already lost his breath.
