Chapter 151: Farewell

The fire was raging, waves of heat rushed towards us, smoke and dust rolled up and flew all over the sky, the sight became a little distorted in the scorching air waves, everything in front of us was slightly distorted and deformed as if it was reflected on the water.

It was the old Hutu camp that was burning. After the Hutu tribe was destroyed by Gao Yuan, this camp was used by Gao Yuan and refurbished as a forward camp for his own attack. But now, Gao Yuan had to burn him down with his own hands.

A group of Donghu people is approaching in this direction. According to the information obtained by the spies, this group of Donghu people has almost 2,000 fighters alone, and the Donghu tribe with 2,000 cavalry fighters is now for Gao Yuan. It is impossible for him to bite such a huge monster. If they could join forces with He Lanxiong, they might be able to fight, but it is obvious that the current Helan tribe is restricted by many factors within the Xiongnu, and it is impossible to join forces with him with all their strength.

Since he couldn't fight, he had to retreat. Although this camp cost a lot of money, it would be better to burn it down than let him fall into the hands of the enemy.

Cao Tiancheng was a little bit pained, it was a waste of money to rebuild the camp, but now it's good, with a fire, all of them were burnt down. This burnt silver is all white, yellow copper coins!

Looking at Cao Tiancheng whose face was twitching, Gao Yuan laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "Old Cao, it's a pity, even if we are lending money to Donghu people, we will have to collect even the principal with interest when the time comes." Come back. Let's go, watch for a while, I think you will cry."

Cao Tianchang sighed, "It's all money!" He turned his horse's head and followed Gao Yuan slowly towards Juliguan.

"I said Lao Cao, we are getting richer now, why do I think you are getting more and more stingy?" Gao Yuan asked with a smile.

"The money seems to be getting more and more, but it's also getting less and less enough, there are gaps everywhere!" Cao Tiancheng said: "There is more money, but the stall is getting bigger and bigger!"

"That's true!" Gao Yuan nodded. There used to be hundreds of people, but now there are more than a thousand people. More importantly, this is not just a simple accumulation of people.

Juliguan is now much larger than before. With more than a thousand people in Gao Yuan's hands, it is impossible to defend Juliguan and the forward camp at the same time. The importance of geographical location is obviously more important than Juliguan. Duo, staying here is equivalent to holding back the opponent's route to enter Fufeng. Gao Yuan doesn't believe it. Now who dares to leave Curieguan behind in a big way and go straight to attack Fufeng. That General Donghu dares to do this. So I was looking for a dead end.

The current Fufeng soldiers are very different from a year ago. At that time, the only thing the Fufeng soldiers could do when they saw the Donghu people was to close the door tightly, hide in the closed wall and shiver, and sit and watch the Hu Qi wreak havoc outside the pass. A year later, the hands of most of these soldiers were stained with blood, and it was the blood of Donghu people.

From the forward camp to Juliguan, every five miles, a sentry tower was set up, which was simply built with a few logs, about five or six meters high, with wolf dung on it, and one person was usually left behind. The guard, under the sentry tower, is tied with a war horse. Once an enemy comes, the task of the sentry tower is to ignite the wolf dung, immediately abandon the building, ride the horse and gallop towards Curie.

From Qianjin Daying to Juliguan, about 50 miles away, seven or eight such watchtowers were built. In this way, Juliguan could know the enemy's news about an hour in advance. Gao Yuan had to do this, because the current situation Juliguan is no longer just a military fortress. Around Juliguan, he also has thousands of people living here, and has formed a huge village. In this village,

There are not only ordinary people who cultivated fields for the army, but also many craftsmen who Gao Yuan stayed or recruited on purpose. It is not an easy task to gather so many skilled craftsmen. Gao Yuan didn't want that when the attack came suddenly, he couldn't even retreat to the rear.

Juliguan is extremely busy now, and many soldiers have been transferred to Cao Tiancheng's side. Under his deployment, the city wall was heightened and reinforced.

Compared with the previous gate walls, there are several more fortress-like gate walls protruding from the front of Julieguan. Dead corners, these seemingly irregular fortress walls completely protected the main city wall of Curieguan, which was previously vulnerable to attack.

In front of the closed wall, the parapets with a height of half a person are no longer built with soil, but are replaced by blocks of stones, with a thickness of one meter. Every ten meters or so, there are such parapets standing up, These scattered parapets that cut the entire Juliguan wilderness horizontally or vertically are a sharp weapon used by Gao Yuan to deal with cavalry. No matter how good your riding skills are, it is useless on this site.

Behind these parapets, there are even more mysteries. Some are smooth roads, while others are deep traps with sharp bamboo sticks inserted upside down. If a person stumbles and falls, he will not die. There are probably seven or eight lives to be lost, and some of them will hide soldiers behind. When you think that there is no one guarding behind this parapet, these people are the scythes of death, and they will mercilessly close the heads of those who are lazy. go.

The enemy is so powerful that he can't launch an attack, so he can only use Juliguan as a trust to deal with the enemy. Gao Yuan firmly believes that the current Juliguan, let alone only 2,000 cavalry, even 20,000 cavalry, he can't even think about getting it here. good to go. If the newcomer from the Donghu tribe is dizzy and wants to give it a try, I will definitely let him have a bad head and blood, and teach him a good lesson.

Standing on the closed wall and inspecting his own territory, Gao Yuan nodded with satisfaction. Not only is this head in full swing, but the village not far from Juli is also full of vitality. They were not affected by the news that the Donghu people were coming, so what should they do? In the past, when they heard that the Donghu people were coming, the villages outside the pass would have already run all the way to Fufeng City.

As Gao Yuan played triumphant songs all the way, the hearts of the people in Juliguan also rose. Donghu people are no longer scourges, because they have Gao Yuan and his wolves like tigers.

Gao Yuan, who was preparing for the battle, ushered in an unexpected guest, He Lanxiong and He Lanyan. He Lanyan hadn't been here since the last time he went back. Gao Yuan once thought that she would never come back again, and didn't want to face a big battle on his side. When it was time, she ran back again, and judging by her appearance, there were big and small bags, obviously she planned to stay for a long time.

Welcoming the Helan brothers and sisters into his room, Cao Tianci poured hot tea. Cao Tianci used the best tea without Gao Yuan's instructions. He Lanyan was his riding master, and He Lanyan also promised to teach him better Immediate fighting technique, so when Cao Tianci saw He Lanyan came back, his eyes lit up.

"Brother He Lan, why are you so free to come here today? Now you are the leader of a big tribe, and your status is no different than before!" Gao Yuan looked at He Lanxiong jokingly.

"Brother Gao is joking again!" He Lanxiong laughed loudly, "Are you blaming me for not coming to see you for so long?"

"Where is it? I know that Brother Helan has been very busy these days. How is it? Is it over now?" Gao Yuan looked at him and asked with a smile.

"The effect is great!" Before He Lanxiong could speak, He Lanyan who was on the side couldn't wait to interject: "Brother Gao, you don't know, after I told my brother in detail how to reorganize the troops here, he will I locked myself in the tent and thought about it for a whole day, and then came up with a set of reorganization methods similar to yours. For the past two months, we have been busy with this matter, and finally the reorganization is completed, and no one has done it. speak."

"That is to say, the effect is very good!" Gao Yuan asked with a smile, "Then Brother He Lan should buy me a drink."

"Drinking is of course for you, I can only treat you to the best meat!" He Lanxiong said with a smile: "I can't see anything else, but brother Gao, I dare to say now that the Helan Department is completely in control In my hands, the elders of the clan are now basically decorations, more of an honor, they can no longer influence my decision-making, and those warriors who join our department from outside dare not make trouble. Now I have finally achieved the same as your team, like using your arms and fingers."

"It's really time to celebrate, Tianci, go tell the cook, I'm going to have a banquet at noon today, and ask them to cook some good dishes." Gao Yuan turned his head and said to Cao Tianci behind him.

"Yes, county lieutenant!" Cao Tianci trotted out the door.

"Brother Gao, this time, I came here to express my gratitude to you, but I also entrusted you to take care of the swallows. This time, I'm going on a long trip." He Lanxiong looked at Gao Yuan and said.

"Thank you, no need. We are brothers. If we don't talk about each other, where are you going? Why are you talking so solemnly?" Gao Yuan asked strangely.

"The King of the Xiongnu has summoned all the tribes of the Huns to gather their warriors. We are going to fight a tough battle with Zhao!" These five hundred horsemen can only charge forward and retreat behind. The danger is very serious. That's why I put the swallow in you and don't take it with you. He is a woman, and it is very inconvenient to accompany the army. Besides , Swallow is beautiful, following in the army may cause some unnecessary troubles, but I know that there are quite a few big bosses in our tribe who are lustful evil spirits."

"Swallow has always been the cavalry instructor under my command. Of course it's no problem living here, but Brother He Lan, I'm afraid I'm going to fight here too, and the Donghu people may attack in large numbers." Gao Yuan glanced at He Lanyan.

"You have a city wall to rely on, so it's much safer than following me. This time, I even assigned him ten guards, all of whom are warriors from my Helan tribe. I'm at ease with you." He Lanxiong He waved his hand indifferently.

"Why are you going to have a big fight with Zhao Guo all of a sudden?" Gao Yuan asked strangely: "The Hun King personally ordered the assembly, so this battle will be a big deal!"

"Yes, I heard that more than 30,000 cavalry were assembled this time." He Lanxiong shook his head and said, "I don't know why."

The Xiongnu assembled 30,000 people to attack Zhao, and the Donghu people may attack Yan in a large scale. Is there any connection between them? A light flashed in Gao Yuan's mind, but it disappeared without a trace in an instant. He was still standing at the foot of the mountain, and it was impossible for him to see the same scenery as those who stood on the top of the mountain.
