Chapter 174: Perfect Counterattack

Thousands of people crossed the river, and Arenda didn't have time to collect boats or make wooden rafts. Gulingdu had a few small boats, but these boats were almost full after each person and horse went on board. Arenda gave an order Next, all the Donghu Royal Cavalry got off their horses and led their horses towards the Tuotuo River. In Alunda's view, the group of Dayan people led by Gao Yuan could swim across the Tuotuo River, and it was in such a fast-moving river. Among them, although the dog jumped the wall in a hurry, it also showed that the Tuotuo River was not terrible, and now it was at Gulingdu, the current was gentle and easy to swim across, and there was no obstacle for his cavalry.

The only thing Arenda didn't think of was whether he would encounter an attack here. He can't be blamed for this. Along the way, Gao Yuan was chased like a dog in the water, and in the end he managed to escape with his life alone. The remnant soldiers and defeated generals, I am afraid that now they only care about running for their lives, how can they have the courage to turn back?

Of course, it is not unsuspecting that Alunda can have a place among the elite of Donghu Royal Court. He still made a conventional tactical deployment. Only half of the first wave went down the river with five hundred cavalry. One boat, one man, one horse, plus two rowing soldiers, filled the boat to the brim, followed the five hundred cavalry who had launched earlier, and marched towards the other side of the Tuotuo River.

On the other side, in the pine forest, watching Arenda's deployment, Gao Yuan nodded slightly, "There is no man without a reputation, don't look at Arenda being beaten badly by us last time, but this person is indeed not to be underestimated." , in this way, we can only kill half of his men. It's a pity."

"What's so great about him." He Lanyan pouted, "Isn't it just that he rushed towards your trap stupidly."

Gao Yuan shook his head, "You can't say that. If we are in another place, I might order the whole army to cross the river. We did our calculations but he didn't think we were so brave and dared to fight back. Under the circumstances, it is very rare to be able to arrange it like this. I have learned a lot from fighting the Donghu cavalry this time. The Donghu cavalry is really extraordinary. No wonder you Huns have been suppressed by them all these years."

He Lanyan widened her eyes, "It's because our Huns are always divided. Although there is a king, it can't be as powerful as Miranda to the Eastern Hu tribes. If our king can be like Miranda Wise and powerful. The Huns have long been unified, and a unified Huns is definitely not something that the Donghu people can resist."

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, lowered his head, thoughtful.

"Gao Yuan, what are you thinking? Look, the Donghu people at the front are about to go ashore!" He Lanyan touched Gao Yuan's arm and reminded.

"I didn't think about anything!" Gao Yuan shook his body slightly, raised his head, and shook his head as if nothing had happened.

"When will we attack? Can the infantry seize the opportunity?" He Lanyan asked, "Don't be impatient."

"Won't.

When I left, I had already ordered the infantry to attack after we attacked! "Gao Yuan turned around with a smile." Everyone got on their horses, drew their knives, and prepared to attack! "

More than two hundred cavalrymen turned on their horses in silence, their swords gleaming coldly. There was a chilling killing intent in the pine forest, Ma'er felt the killing intent and became excited. Wanting to hiss to the sky, but the bit was in his mouth, unable to make a sound, he just pawed the ground with his hooves anxiously. The cavalrymen held their knives in one hand and gently stroked the horse's neck with the other to calm the restless war horses.

About a hundred people went ashore. They got on their horses and walked slowly. About a hundred Donghu cavalry came ashore. Gaoyuan still did not move. The hundred cavalrymen had already begun to run forward in small steps, and those behind were also straightening their harness and wringing out the water on their bodies, and Arenda's boat finally approached the river bank.

"It's now!" Gao Yuan roared, "Attack!" With a flick of his wrist, the horse under his crotch shot out of the pine forest like an arrow. Behind him, more than two hundred cavalry roared, chasing Gao Yuan from the pine forest. Jumped out.

Shocking shouts of killing resounded on the banks of the Tuotuo River. Alunda, who had just touched the bottom of the river, was shaken. He raised his head in disbelief, and looked at Gao Yuan and his son who rushed over from the pine forest not far away. cavalry.

"Meet the enemy!" He roared loudly, and the two hundred cavalrymen in the front suddenly accelerated and headed towards Gao Yuan, while on the bank of the river, the other three hundred cavalry were hurriedly preparing to mount their horses to meet the enemy.

At this moment, two hundred steps to the left and right of the place where the Eastern Hu cavalrymen landed, a piece of wild grass that looked no different from others suddenly became taller, and the heads of the people with the grass on their heads fell from the ground. It popped out inside.

"Shoot!" With a calm shout, the screaming sound of the crossbows completely overwhelmed the shouts of killing from both sides, and the crossbows shot from both sides completely enveloped the Donghu soldiers on the river bank in the rain of arrows .

The sharp whistling sound is the sound made when the crossbow is fired, and the buzzing sound is the shooting of ordinary bows and arrows. At this moment, no matter whether it is the crossbow or ordinary bows and arrows, they are transformed into the scythe of death, non-stop Harvesting the lives of Donghu people.

Arms crossbow in a team of two, one shoots, the other loads, it seems to be intermittent forever, and the shooting speed of the bow and arrow is also extremely fast, half of the infantry stands in the controlled trap, half-closed his eyes, the longbow moves, he shoots It was all those Donghu soldiers who reacted strangely and jumped on their horses to ambush on both sides. His personal soldiers stood by his side and kept handing him long arrows.

One arrow at a time, the infantry shot with joy.

If it is said that Gao Yuan led more than two hundred cavalry to rush out from the pine forest, and Arenda was still calm, the sudden attack on the bank of the river completely stunned him. He really couldn't think of Gao Yuan's He was so courageous that he actually ambushed his crossbowman under his nose. You know, if the opponent notices this, such a distance would be a disaster for the archer.

Of course Gao Yuan doesn't think so. The right way is to make the best use of the situation and make the best use of the situation. If this is a land battle, Gao Yuan will never do this. The opponent's cavalry just got up from the river in a hurry, and they were chasing some defeated soldiers who they thought had lost their fighting spirit. Naturally, they would not be too vigilant, and at this time, the cavalry in the front had already mounted their horses and moved forward. , their defenses were naturally reduced to the minimum.

Arenda and the two rowing soldiers on the boat were stunned. They stood on the boat and watched the Donghu soldiers on the river bank being brutally tortured, one after another fell under the rain of arrows.

The two hundred cavalrymen at the front reacted quickly, and when they found Gao Yuan again, they immediately sped up and headed towards Gao Yuan. It affected them, the ones in front were still rushing forward, but the ones behind were ready to turn around to rescue their opponents, and the two hundred cavalry fell into chaos at this moment.

Chaos is a lofty opportunity.

Gao Yuan's horse was extremely fast, and at the moment when his opponent was in chaos, he had already charged forward with his sharp saber raised like a pack of wolves. He Lanyan, on the left side, followed closely, flying the scimitar, and Xiao Tianci on the right gritted his teeth, hissing and roaring, holding a sword that was much longer than him in both hands, chopping down, chopping down again.

On the other side of the Tuotuo River, the other 500 cavalry were shocked when they saw their comrades crossing the river suddenly attacked. They rushed to the Tuotuo River with their horses, ready to swim across the river to rescue their comrades.

Arenda's boat has already left the river bank. Arenda is a veteran in the field. After watching it for a moment, he knows that there is nothing to be done. On this side of the river, he has no chance at all. Three hundred people who have not had time to get on the horse The cavalry had suffered heavy casualties at this time, and the rain of arrows had stopped pouring out at this time. On both sides of them, hundreds of enemies with horses raised screamed and crawled out of their hiding places, as if smelling blood Like a wild wolf, he rushed towards the dead and wounded Donghu soldiers.

The five hundred people were hopeless, so he had to go back and save the other five hundred people.

On the other side of the Tuotuo River, two or three of the 500 cavalry left behind have already descended into the river, and when they were struggling to swim to this side, there was another rush of horseshoes behind them. Suddenly, a bloody double-knife flag appeared in the eyes of Donghu people.

In an instant, the Donghu people were frightened. On one side, they were already in a desperate situation, but on the other side, the situation they were about to face was not much better than that of their companions on the other side of the river.

The Donghu people who hadn't yet entered the water roared and turned back, facing the bandits who rushed over with the bloody double-knife flag all over the mountains and plains, while the cavalrymen who had entered the water had to turn their heads around and waved their arms desperately Slide back.

There was no way out, and there were chasing soldiers behind. Thousands of Donghu cavalry who were still full of ambition just now became dogs in the water in a blink of an eye, and suffered devastating blows on both sides of the river bank.

Sha Potian's horse bandits don't have any tactics, but everyone's riding skills, sword skills, and individual combat capabilities are stronger and fiercer than the elite royal court cavalry. At this time, they completely lost their formation and lost their strength. The established East Hu soldiers could only rely on individual ability to fight. In front of the wolf-like bandits, they were chopped off their horses one by one.

Arenda's boat was trapped in the middle of the river, unable to advance or retreat. On both sides of the bank, his troops were in a desperate situation. Seeing the soldiers under his command being killed by the knife one by one, Arenda howled like a beast, Kneeling at the bow of the boat. The eyes of the two rowing soldiers were the same as his, desperate and helpless. (To be continued,!
