After stepping out of the city, Ye Guhong was assigned a tall maroon-colored horse to ride on.
This war horse has obviously been well-tamed. After a simple training by the horse master, the horse immediately recognized Ye Guhong as its master.
Ye Guhong is not good at riding horses, but this seemingly fierce horse appears to be extremely docile after Ye Guhong rides on it, and everyone immediately respects him.
Ye Guhong was extremely happy. The horse was as flexible as his own legs and the speed was not slow.
The war horses are in front, and the troops accompanying them behind are marching in a hurry. Therefore, there are no logistics and other duties. The place is more than 20 miles away. It only takes a morning of rushing to reach the place where the mission is to capture.
If you succeed, you can set up camp there. If you fail, you can return to the city as quickly as possible.
The strategic significance of this stronghold is not very great. Di Ao arranged for Ye Guhong to be here. After all, he still had some doubts about him. Although Ye Guhong had done a good job in terms of momentum, the situation on the battlefield was unpredictable. Who knew that Ye Guhong
Can Gu Hong show his strength? So first arrange a simple task to test Ye Guhong’s foundation.
It would be fine if it succeeds this time. Once Ye Guhong fails to attack the occupied point, needless to say, his position will be immediately replaced.
In the eyes of outsiders, this expedition is bound to win.
But in Ye Guhong's heart, he felt a little uneasy
After all, the opponent now is Di Xu!
It would be really miserable if the people guarding the stronghold were Qian Xiaoshan or Ye Sulan Yunsu.
At noon, the troops arrived at their destination, and the stronghold was in front.
The soldiers behind Ye Guhong lined up in a semi-arc to deal with the stronghold, trying to slowly approach it in a formation that surrounded one-third of the stronghold.
According to the intelligence, there seemed to be only about 500 people guarding this stronghold, but to avoid caution, the march was slowed down.
At this moment, the gate of the stronghold camp opposite suddenly opened slowly, and a tall soldier slowly walked out
There are very few tall soldiers in the tribal alliance. It seems that this man is a special case.
The heavy-armored soldiers in the front row on Ye Guhong's side immediately crouched down, and the light-armored archer soldiers in the back immediately drew their bows and nocked arrows, ready to take action at any time. As long as Ye Guhong gave the order, anyone who entered
Anyone in the shooting range will be shot into a sieve immediately
However, the man opposite seemed to be very courageous. After taking two steps, he said loudly to Ye Guhong: "Who is your general? Come out and see him!"
Ye Guhong reined in his horse and took a few steps forward, then stepped out from the crowd and was nearly ten feet away from the man. Then he shouted loudly: "General Ye Guhong is here, and this stronghold is one that I must fight for."
Earth, if you surrender quickly, you can avoid death!"
These few words were spoken with a loud voice, and they were uttered with spiritual energy, so they also had the effect of shocking the entire audience.
The tall man who was originally so imposing could not help but frown at this moment. The majestic momentum that he had at the beginning facing thousands of troops alone was immediately suppressed by Ye Guhong and disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, the camp gate suddenly moved again, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a snow-white war horse slowly walked out carrying a soldier.
Ye Guhong looked over carefully, and his aura suddenly faded away.
The person riding on the horse is the person he wants to see the most, but the person he least wants to see at this moment
Ye Sulan was now wearing a silver-white female armor that didn't seem to fit well. Matching the color of the war horse, it was completely snow-white and looked a little dazzling at first glance.
Ye Sulan was born extremely handsome, and now wearing armor and holding a light silver spear, she naturally looked extremely beautiful and heroic.
"The general who is coming is not the top ten knights. Who is he? Please tell me his name." Ye Sulan also made a voice with spiritual breath, but the momentum was slightly lower than that of Ye Guhong.
In fact, Ye Sulan's spiritual energy is much higher than that of Ye Guhong, and Ye Guhong didn't use all his strength to shout just now, so it should be easy for Ye Sulan to surpass Ye Guhong in terms of momentum.
But judging from Ye Sulan's slightly relaxed expression and the fact that she deliberately lost to Ye Guhong, she obviously had other motives.
Ye Guhong really wanted to get off his horse immediately, run to a deserted place with Ye Sulan, discuss the matter carefully, and finally make a decision on his future plans.
However, things can't always go as planned. Ye Guhong is riding a tiger at this moment. He doesn't know what Di Xu's attitude is at this moment, so he doesn't know whether he should win or lose today's battle.
Just when Ye Guhong was struggling, Ye Sulan suddenly said loudly: "General Ye on the opposite side heard this, my stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although you have ten times more soldiers than me, you can't easily defeat us. If we fight to the death,
Both sides will inevitably lose. I have a suggestion. I wonder if General Ye would be interested in hearing it?"
Ye Guhong could see that Ye Sulan's behavior seemed to have been planned for a long time, so he knew that she would have a backup plan next, so he responded loudly: "Speak, Ye is all ears."
Ye Sulan said: "Why don't we let these two generals have a decisive battle? If I win, you must retreat immediately without any entanglement. If I lose, I will naturally hand over this stronghold to you."
In fact, this proposal would have been absolutely unacceptable under normal circumstances. Ye Guhong had ten times the strength of the opponent, so it was inevitable to capture the stronghold. However, the opponent's proposal turned ten against one into one.
One, naturally the tribal alliance takes advantage.
However, on the other hand, if you reject the other party's proposal, you will immediately appear to be afraid of having a one-on-one fight with the other party.
Ye Guhong's thoughts moved and he responded loudly: "You can take advantage of your proposal. If it were my own business, I wouldn't be afraid of a weak woman like you. But since I work for the emperor, I naturally can't accept it."
Your rude request, but if I refuse it completely, it will appear that my royal family is afraid of you. Humph, I will accept the one-on-one duel. If you lose, you must surrender unconditionally. If I lose, I will withdraw my troops five miles away.
In addition, during this period of giving you two hours of breathing space, whether you move reinforcements or retreat collectively, I will continue to fight in two hours."
This method can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only shows that it is not afraid of single combat, but also does not have much impact on the battle situation. It is precisely because the strategic significance of this stronghold is not great that Ye Guhong dares to propose such conditions.
Ye Sulan must have had other intentions, so she immediately responded: "Okay, since you have a large number of people, it's up to you to set the rules."
"Pull the bow!" Ye Guhong raised his hand and shouted, and the nearly seven hundred archers behind him temporarily lowered their tight arrows.
Ye Guhong and Ye Sulan rode each other's horses and walked towards each other slowly. Both of them seemed to have some complicated expressions in their expressions.
After finally reaching a distance of about two feet, the two stopped each other.
