Chapter 678 Helianfeng, here we come(1/3)
"Enemy attack!"
Gu Yuan jumped up suddenly, listened attentively, and shouted: "Everyone, get up!"
He was lying down in armor, and all he needed to do was hold a knife.
He picked up the long knife, felt something flickering in front of his eyes, and turned back sharply.
Through the tent, you can faintly see the light of fire in the distance.
"Fire!"
The back camp was boiling, and the flames spread quickly.
Ahead, more than a thousand cavalry rushed into the camp, and the Northern Liao Army who was on guard all night faced them.
But in the back camp, more Tang Army cavalry came in.
Use the power of fire to drive away the chaotic enemy troops.
The fire is spreading.
The grassland in early autumn is prone to fire, but this time, it can be called a prairie fire.
Wang Laoer shouted: "Don't stop, keep fighting in!"
To stop and kill the enemy at this time is to sacrifice the enemy for the sake of defeat...Wang Laoer a few years ago didn't understand this at all.
Hard work always comes from actual combat.
The enemy troops kept gathering together tenaciously, but Wang Laoer and his men and horses broke them up and then charged and killed them.
In the front camp, the old thief failed to repel the enemy... More than a thousand versus two thousand, he had no advantage.
But Wang Laoer came.
"Assemble!"
The lieutenant general was roaring, but once the gathering was discovered, the Tang army would give priority to attack.
There was chaos in the camp.
Gu Yuan led more than a hundred people to rush left and right, shouting constantly.
It was the end of the Chou season, the coolest time, but he was sweating profusely.
A pair of eyes full of madness, "Assemble!"
The Tang army repeatedly charged and killed, and the deputy general came with more than ten people in a panic, "Xiang Wen, we are all scattered, run away!"
Gu Yuan shook his head and shouted: "No! The Tang army is also scattered, we can still turn defeat into victory!"
"Hold on and walk!"
The lieutenant general knew that Gu Yuan could not accept defeat, so he had him mounted on his horse and ran away surrounded by him.
They found a gap and fought their way out of the camp.
Behind him, Wang Laoer and his men were in hot pursuit.
Until dawn.
"There are our scouts ahead!"
The deputy general waved his hands in excitement and shouted, "Hey!"
There are more than 300 pursuers and more than 100 scouts, plus dozens of them, they can at least put up a fight.
More than a hundred scouts saw them.
"It's Gu Yuan!"
The leader of the team, Du Tou, said: "Fight and retreat!"
The scouts came up, and when Gu Yuan and others were in ecstasy, they collapsed in a battle.
"It's Wang Laoer, retreat!"
The scout ran in the other direction.
The deputy general shouted: "Hey! Come back! Together!"
"Stop shouting!"
"Why!"
"Stop shouting!"
Gu Yuan looked confused.
"The pursuers are coming."
Someone behind him was cut off from his horse, and miserable howls were heard. Gu Yuan said to the lieutenant: "Take the people to evacuate, go back and report to the king, and say that I am unworthy of your trust in the king. I will repay you in the next life!"
The deputy general said: "Together!"
"Walk!"
Gu Yuan slapped his horse on the butt with the back of his knife, causing the horse to neigh and run away.
The deputy general turned around and saw Gu Yuan holding his sword high and roaring, "I'm wrong!"
The deputy general shouted: "Prosperity and stability will bring a long future!"
There is no general who is always victorious. A defeat is an experience.
Gu Yuan urged his horse forward and said: "I thought that if you don't stand in line, you won't offend anyone and can be promoted calmly. But if you don't stand in line, there will be no one to help you. Even a team of scouts are not willing to risk their lives for this... The bravery of Daliao
, can’t beat the interests!”
He knew he was wrong.
Not taking sides means being marginalized.
Marginalization means that no one will risk helping you when you are unlucky.
"I'm wrong!"
Gu Yuan burst into tears... The belief he had held on to all his life collapsed at this moment, making him despair to the extreme.
His pride in not taking sides turned out to be just a joke!
He thought of more, from Chen Fangli to the emperor, to Lin Ya.
He chopped hard, and gradually, his followers fell off their horses one by one.
"Xiangwen!"
The last of his men was stabbed and screamed for help.
Gu Yuan rushed over and drove back the Tang army with one blow. His horse was hit by an arrow and he fell off the horse with his subordinate in his arms.
He stood there, supporting the sergeant.
Pointing his sword forward, he gasped: "I want to know whose idea it was for these frequent harassments?"
Wang Laoer sat high on the horse, "Why? You don't accept it?"
Gu Yuan shook his head, "First use a small group of troops to harass and tire out our army. I divided my troops into two places and took turns to guard them. But after three days, my troops were all exhausted...
It was still the same last night. The previous harassment made me and my subordinates tired, so they responded lazily... But the end of the ugly period really came.
The rear camp was set on fire, and our army, which had suffered for several days, collapsed instantly...
Rather than saying that a fire burned down the morale of our army, it is better to say that it was the continuous harassment over the past few days...it was the harassment until the last time it was real."
He coughed dryly, "What's the point of this?"
Wang Laoer took out a piece of dried meat and took a bite. "After a person falls asleep, he goes into a deep sleep from midnight to the end of the ugly hour. Constant disturbance during this period can make people exhausted..."
"That's it!" Gu Yuan suddenly realized.
"Also, have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf?"
"without."
Wang Laoer chewed the dried meat and swallowed it reluctantly... He went back to Eryang and asked for more, but he had to pay for it.
"A child was tending sheep. The child was naughty. When the adults ignored him, he shouted "Wolf". When the adults heard the sound, they rushed over with hoes. But when they saw that there was no wolf, it was just the children who were making trouble. They went back cursing.
Then, the child cried wolf again, and the adults came again... This time, they scolded. The third time, the child cried wolf again..."
Gu Yuan already understood, "This time, the master didn't come."
Wang Laoer nodded, "It seems that you are a smart person."
"Those who can tell this story are smart people!" Gu Yuan smiled bitterly, "Such frequent harassment is a sign of a wolf coming, but the wolf never came, so I and my subordinates naturally thought that it would not come this time. But this time
Once, the wolf, it really came."
Wang Laoer took out another piece of dried meat and sniffed it reluctantly, "Hey! Will you surrender?"
"You are very kind and can make people believe in your words." Gu Yuan nodded and expressed his gratitude, "I have something that I don't understand."
"I'm in a good mood today, you tell me." Wang Laoer was very excited at the thought of returning to Linhe soon. There was a lot of dried meat at the Sao Fox, so he could coax some when he got back.
