Chapter 251 Ambush
While speaking, more than a hundred Wusun cavalry came to the slope. The leading centurion looked at the mountain road, grabbed the war horse, and pointed it with the horse whip.∷∷, the two knights jumped off the horse, led the war horse, and walked over step by step. The others were waiting under the slope, slowly gathering together, looking around, and some even took out their weapons and prepared for the battle.
Li Shuyun looked at Old Andrew, took a thumbs up, and praised him. He had also walked past this place, but Liang Xiao and Xie Guanglong were seriously injured and unconscious. He had to take on the heavy burden and rushed to the road, but he didn't pay attention to the terrain here. Old Andrew was determined to remember this terrain and decided to set up an ambush here, which was undoubtedly the right choice.
Seeing that the Wusun people gathered tighter and tighter, Old Andrew waved his hand and gave an order.
The soldiers on both sides of the cliff waved their swords and cut off the bark rope that tied the huge rocks. The huge rocks rolled down the mountain road and made a rumbling sound. The Wusun people were shocked and looked up and saw dust flying above their heads. Several huge black shadows bulged from the sky, hitting the stone wall next to them, and pieces of gravel scattered and covered the sky.
Before the Wusun people could figure it out, the huge rock rolled down the hillside and crashed into the Wusun people who gathered together. The Wusun knight who had already walked up the hillside was shocked. One of them pressed against the stone wall and watched the huge rock roll past his eyes. The other turned around and ran. After taking two steps, he was caught up by the huge rock, crushed to the ground, screamed, and a ball of blood burst out, instantly turning into mud.
The speed of the boulder continued to rush towards the Wusun people.
The Wusun knights turned their horses and wanted to escape. But more than a hundred people gathered together and there was not much room at all. Before they could turn around, the huge rock had already rolled in front of them and ran over them all the way.
In an instant, people shouted and horses neighed, and screams came one after another.
The huge rock rumbled past, rolling for more than a hundred steps before slowly stopping, lying across the middle of the mountain road.
With a few huge rocks blocked, the mountain road that was originally not wide was immediately blocked. Only a little gap was left. Not to mention a horse, even a person could only squeeze through with his body sideways.
The Wusun people who were not crushed to death by the huge rocks were stunned when they saw it, and the back of their heads was filled with cold air.
The sound of war drums sounded, and battle flags appeared on the stone walls on both sides of the mountain road, and countless helmets and armor were pierced. The soldiers holding bows and arrows were exposed from behind the huge rocks, and they set off their bows and arrows, aimed at the terrifying Wusun people. For a moment, the arrows were like locusts, and the sound of whistling was endless, and the Wusun people fell to the ground one after another.
At the same time, fifty infantrymen wearing Greek armor appeared on the mountain road. Four or five people were in a row, holding shields in their left hand and spears in their right hand. They rushed towards the Wusun people step by step. When the sound of war drums stopped, the dense arrows above their heads disappeared, and they happened to arrive in front of the Wusun people, raised their spears, and began to kill.
The Wusun people were first attacked by huge rocks, then covered by arrow rain, and suffered heavy casualties and no longer had the fighting spirit. Faced with these obviously older veterans, they did not have much fighting spirit. Even if they muster up the courage and draw out the battle sword to meet them, they were no match for these high-spirited Greek veterans, and they were stabbed to the ground one after another.
The battle ended very quickly, and after two drums, there was no Wusun people who could still stand.
The surviving Wusun scout had been pressed to the ground and his limbs were tied up.
Li Shuyun and Andrew came down from the hillside, checked the battlefield, and ordered people to gather the horses together, and even those who had fallen to death would not be wasted. These could be used as military rations. The leaders of the Wusun people cut them all off and piled them on huge rocks.
After the cross-examination, Old Andrew took out a short knife, cut off the Wusun people's ears, and then gave him a horse to let him leave.
Lie Jiaomi narrowed her eyes and looked at the knight with a bloody face, her eyes as if she was like a wolf.
The people of Dayuan set up an ambush in the mountains and captured more than a hundred vanguard knights in one go?
“How many people are there?”
"I can't see clearly, the mountain is full of people, there may be thousands." The knight knelt on the ground, trembling. The pain and fear made him unable to control his voice. The rumbling huge rocks were amazing, but the warriors covered in iron armor were even more terrifying. Until now, he could still feel the murderous aura brought by the strange eyes mixed with fanaticism and coldness.
"So many people, Dayuan knew that I was coming and was ready long ago?" Lie Jiaomi raised his hand, rubbed the beard under his jaw, and his eyes flashed.
The Knight doesn't know how to answer.
Lie Jiaomi waved his hand and signaled the knight to go out. He thought for a while and sent someone to invite Wu Dan.
Wu Dan was shocked after hearing Lie Jiaomi's retelling. If the people of Dayuan were ready, the war to attack Dayuan this time would not be that simple. "The people of Dayuan dare to kill your envoy?"
Lie Jiaomi glared at him. Facing the old evil king, he dared not be so arrogant, but facing the new evil king, Wu Dan, he had to be much more confident.
"It must be that the Dutcheng failed and angered the Dayuan people. The Dayuan people decided to go against me." Lie Jiaomi regretted it. Not only because Dutcheng was a smart subordinate, but also because of the bow and treasure sword. If these things fall into the hands of the Dayuan people, it would be a shame for Wusun.
Especially the bow, which was given to him by the Huns' Chanyu, and he must not be lost.
What happened to the Tuban? He was still arrogant and full of confidence, but he was defeated. Lie Jiaomi was very angry and had a dilemma. The people of Dayuan had already rushed to the mountain pass to set up an ambush, so they were naturally ready. How many chances of success will there be to continue attacking Dayuan? Is it a strong attack or a change of path?
What made Lie Jiaomi even more worried was that the people of Dayuan have always been weak, so why did they become tough this time? And they did so without any room for anything, even the envoys were killed.
Who supports them? Are they Han people or... Yuezhi people?
Wu Dan disagreed with Lie Jiaomi's concern. "So what if Yuezhi is coming? She is just about to find them. They come to die, so we won't be able to rush. You attack here, and I will take a detour to the north entrance."
Lie Jiaomi reminded: "Since the people of Dayuan are prepared here, there may be ambushing elsewhere, so don't be careless."
Wu Dan snorted and looked at him disdain. "The terrain of the north entrance is flat and there is no such dangerous terrain. Even if the people of Dayuan are ambushed, they will have no choice. Just wait for my good news and see who will arrive at Suye City first."
After saying that, before Huojiaomi could speak, Wu Danyang left.
Lie Jiaomi was worried and had an indescribable uneasiness. He always felt that he had missed something, but he could not remember it. Things were out of his own control, and this feeling was very bad.
Meicai took out a silk handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, but his eyes were filled with smiles.
The first battle was won, and more than a hundred beheaded, but no casualties were left. For the people of Dayuan, this was a rare good news. It can be seen that the people of Wusun were not that scary, and were defeated by a group of veterans.
"Take it away." Mei Cai waved his hand and signaled that the people would take out the heads. He held Li Shuyun's arm and said affectionately: "General Li, you have made contributions to Commander Andrew in this battle. I will reward you when I report to the king."
Li Shuyun quickly said, "This is the deputy king's command and we are just acting according to the deputy king's deployment."
Mei Cai smiled but said nothing, and was proud.
"The deputy king, the Wusun people were frustrated, and they probably wouldn't give up. They would probably detour the north entrance and raid on Suye City, or they might attack the deputy king's back. Please pay attention."
Mei Cai nodded. "Creon, Suye City, is ready. Even if the Wusun people arrive outside the city, they will not be able to get any advantage. If he comes to attack me and give me a crown, I will not refuse. I have an army of ten thousand here, and I will only wait for him to come."
Li Shuyun was a little worried. Mei Cai had fear of the enemy before, but now he was a little too confident. It is true that ten thousand stints and cavalry are true, but he knew the strength of these Dayuan soldiers. To put it bluntly, they were not as good as the Greek veterans recruited by Old Andrew. If they really met the Wusun people, they might not be able to win them.
However, these words cannot be said in front of Mei Cai. Li Shuyun had to vaguely suggest that Mei Cai should not take advantage of the loopholes by the Wusun people.
Mei Cai agreed immediately and sent Li Shuyun away. He wrote a letter of victory to report the victory to Guishan City.
In early November, Liang Xiao returned to the outside of Guishan City.
In order to avoid misunderstandings, he asked Azhana and Batu to camp on the south bank of the Gasatis River first, rushed back to Guishan City, and contacted Wu Wu.
When he learned that Liang Xiao and Yuezhi had successfully formed an alliance, the Queen of Yuezhi sent five thousand knights to help, Wu Wu breathed a sigh of relief. He sent ministers out of the city and approached Ashana and Batu to hold a banquet to entertain him.
The Yuezhi people and Dayuan people gathered together, laughing and having fun.
Just as everyone was drinking happily, Princess Luo Xuli appeared in front of everyone with a few maids, which immediately attracted cheers. Many Dayuan nobles started to cheer and wanted to watch Luo Xuli dance. Luo Xuli did not refuse, and came to the table openly, twisting her waist, singing and dancing. Her waist was as soft as boneless, but her eyes were even more lively, and she occasionally swept across Liang Xiao's face, with a deep affection and no intention of covering up.
Seeing this, Batu came to Liang Xiao with a wine glass and said with a smile: "The respectful envoy has won the pearl of Dayuan."
Liang Xiao quickly got up and returned the favor, and said modestly: "Shame, ashamed. I am just an ordinary person and I cannot be favored by the princess."
"Seriously?" Batu's mouth tilted, his eyes were smiling, and he glanced at Luo Xuli who was dancing. "It's important to make his heart look like a snow mountain, but my prince's heart is like a spring in the ground. I'm really moved."
Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized that Batu had ulterior motives. He raised the corners of his eyes and looked at Luo Xuli, who looked like Gasatus's water, and was not far away from him. Then he looked at the prince beside him with a few lewd eyes, his hands were a little itchy, and there was an urge to slap him with a big mouth and knock him down.
Batu didn't feel any danger at all, and still looked at Liang Xiao with a smile. However, Ashana, who was opposite, realized something was wrong, put down the wine glass in his hand, and looked over nervously-
