Chapter 630
Liang Xiao persuaded Ashana and others to attack Lie Jiaomi first, but he did not simply come out.? [(([<
Fight against the big with small, and the troops are very different. If you do not plan carefully and make sure that everyone understands their tasks and implements them in place, 99% of this battle may lose.
Liang Xiao brought the map and explained his tactical arrangements in detail.
"At present, Hunjiaomi is about 300 miles away from us. If we take the initiative to rush over, we will become tired soldiers. Hunjiaomi is waiting for labor, and we will definitely lose. If we want to defeat the strong with the weak, we must mobilize Hunjiaomi to come to us and let him run exhausted, so that we will have the chance to hit the target with one blow."
Liang Xiao looked at Doros. "Can you seize this opportunity?"
Doros pulled his beard and rolled his eyes. "If I had the chance, I could do it."
"Then you are ready. I will find a way to lure Liejiaomi to you. You have only one task." Liang Xiao raised his palm and slashed it hard. "One charge will kill Liejiaomi on the horse."
"Okay!" Doros rubbed his hands and was very excited.
Liang Xiao turned his eyes to Ashana and smiled and said, "Da Lu, you must be mentally prepared. We must lose for a while and be deserters."
Ashana smiled. "Tell me, how can we escape? We Yuezhi people have not escaped. As long as we can win, what does it matter if we become a deserter?"
"It would be great if Dalu could think so. Jianmi, you guard the canyon, all the wounded soldiers and supplies are here. You must guard it well and you must not make any mistakes."
"What? Let me guard the canyon?" Jian Mi was stunned. He waited for a long time and was about to fight with Liang Xiao, but he didn't expect Liang Xiao to let him stay in the canyon. He was anxious. "General, I'm not good at defending the city, so let's change someone."
"Who is it?" Liang Xiao smiled. "Who is better here than me than you? And I'm not relieved to stay in the canyon and leave it to others."
Jianmi smacked his lips and did not fight anymore. Although he was a little regretful, he could also hear that this was Liang Xiao’s trust in him. Apart from him, Liang Xiao was not relieved to hand over the canyon to anyone. As a general of Dayuan, protecting the safety of the princess is his honor and his unshirkable responsibility.
"Okay." Jianmi nodded.
Liang Xiao immediately called Sai Ren and asked them to rush back immediately, summon various tribes to spread a message: Liang Xiao will join the Sai Ren and Hun Jiaomi to avenge the Sai Ren and ask for someone from all tribes to come out, and work together to defeat the hunting Jiaomi.
After hearing this, Sai Ren was overjoyed and left.
After the Sai people left, Liang Xiao sent a large number of elite cavalry to clear out the Wusun and Xiongnu people within 30 miles east and west of the canyon, and acted like a big attack.
Lie Jiaomi waved and signaled to take down the newly captured prisoners.
He didn't believe what these scattered people said. He felt that these scattered people were fooled by Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao had only five or six thousand people, so how could he come to help the scattered people? Even if they were all cavalry, they did not have the ability to run 300 miles to fight. When they arrived here, they were exhausted and could not fight any more, and they were like killing them.
Liang Xiao is proficient in cavalry combat, so he cannot not know these common sense, so this must be fake.
Then why did Liang Xiao say that, just fooling people?
The hunter was worried. While gathering troops and preparing for battle, he sent a large number of scouts to the canyon to find out the news and see what Liang Xiao had in mind.
Two days later, a scout came back. They did not see Liang Xiao's shadow, and they could not even accept the canyon. Within thirty miles from the canyon, they became a forbidden area. Scouts composed of Han and Yuezhi people chased and killed the Wusun people everywhere, causing them major casualties. These scouts were all Dayuan horses, with fast stamina, good endurance, and equipped with sniper crossbows with long range. The Wusun people were often shot by cold arrows before they could see the enemy.
Lie Jiaomi is very nervous. Chasing scouts is often the prelude to the action. Is Liang Xiao planning to attack? Is he planning to attack? I just don’t know whether he is going east or west. Lie Jiaomi repeatedly deduces, or he still feels that the possibility of Liang Xiao going west is not high. Whether from the comparison of troops or the distance, attacking the Huns to the west is Liang Xiao’s most reasonable choice.
Just when Liejiaomi was unsure of his mind, more and more scoundrels appeared around the camp. Although they did not dare to attack the Wusun people, the frequent close-up reconnaissance also made the Wusun people nervous. Liejiaomi strengthened his vigilance, but his attention was not attracted by these scoundrels. On the contrary, he became more and more convinced that he was right. These scoundrels were just Liang Xiao's suspicious soldiers, and his real target was probably the Huns.
Lie Jiaomi left five thousand cavalry to prevent the people from being on guard, and led the main force to move westward. He ordered everyone to be vigilant. People did not disarm their armor and horses did not disarm their saddles, and then they prepared to fight.
One morning, two scouts sent news that Liejiaomi had been looking forward to for a long time. Last night, they were lucky enough to sneak near the canyon and saw Liang Xiao quietly exiting the canyon and heading west.
Hearing this news, Liejiaomi's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally let go, but he couldn't relax for a long time, and he raised it again. He was relieved because Liang Xiao's tactical arrangement was as he expected, and he went west to attack the Huns. This was also because of this. Liang Xiao left the valley in the evening. According to time, it should be Ling Ming that he rushed to the Huns' camp, and had a rest, and he was just right to attack.
This is Liang Xiao’s best sneak attack tactic. This is how he defeated the Right Xian King back then.
Lie Jiaomi was very uneasy. He didn't know if the Youxian King would calculate Liang Xiao's plan. If he didn't calculate, Liang Xiao might succeed in a sneak attack and the Huns would suffer heavy losses. If the Youxian King calculated, he would also face a fierce battle. Although Liang Xiao's military strength was limited, he had strong combat power. With the cooperation of infantry, he might even defeat the Youxian King and achieve the final victory.
Back then, he defeated the Huns in Hexi using the tactics of infantry and cavalry cooperation.
The more Lie Jiaomi thought about it, the more uneasy he became. While sending a scout to inform the Youxian King to be careful, he led an army of 20,000 to set off to support the Youxian King, seize the entrance of the gorge, and cut off Liang Xiao's retreat so that he would not retreat to the canyon again to defend.
Although it was determined that Liang Xiao had a greater chance of attacking the Huns, Hun Jiaomi was very cautious. He informed the entire army that he should prepare for battle when he was fifty miles away from the gorge and control the marching degree to avoid exhaustion of people and horses and lack of physical strength when attacked and unable to fight.
More than 20,000 Wusun cavalry rushed westward.
Liang Xiao raised his eyes and carefully observed the Wusun people crossing the river in the distance, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Liejiaomi was indeed cautious. Although he arrived, he did not give him much opportunity. The marching line was very strict and there were almost no flaws. This was felt when he observed Liejiaomi's camp, and now he once again confirmed it with his own eyes.
However, this does not mean that he has no chance. Liejiaomi has been mobilized by him, and he has seized the initiative in strategy. Next, whether Liejiaomi can still be so cautious all the time depends on how many temptations Liejiaomi can block and whether he will give Doroth a chance to kill.
Liang Xiao raised his hand and made a gesture to Ashana in the distance.
In Qianli's eyes, Ashana waved his hands vigorously and responded.
Liang Xiao put away his eyes, took off his black bow, moved the arrow pouch to the appropriate position, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and rushed out of the battle formation first.
Tu Niuer and others followed closely, Alexander and others accelerated their horses, gradually snatched Liang Xiao's front, forming a charge formation.
The sound of war drums broke the tranquility of the valley. More than a thousand Dayuan cavalry and more than a thousand Sai cavalry followed Liang Xiao closely and rushed towards the Wusun people in the distance. The war horses ran faster and faster, and the sound of horse hooves became more and more urgent, and gradually formed a thunder and rolled away.
At the same time, Ashana also led the three thousand Yuezhi cavalry to break out of the hiding place, followed Liang Xiao, and killed the Wusun people.
Hearing the sound of war drums and horns, the Wusun people who were crossing the river were shocked and immediately passed the news to the central army and adjusted their teams. War Ma Jia, Xiang Liang Xiao and others came up. The two sides quickly approached, and the war Ma Jia finished and entered a state of rushing.
Liang Xiao raised his black bow and shot out a whistle.
The whistle and flew into the sky, announcing the beginning of the battle.
The Han army crossbowmen swung the first, and dozens of crossbow arrows left the strings and flew out two or three hundred steps. Several Wusun knights who rushed in the front were caught in the arrows and fell off their horses. They were then flooded by the galloping war horses and disappeared into the torrent.
The two sides approached and ran in the same direction. Liang Xiao and others seized the advantageous position on the right, pulled the bow and shot, and threw waves of arrow rain towards the Wusun people. The Wusun people were on the left, and it was difficult for them to wield real shooting skills except for archers who could shoot left and right. They could only run with all their might, hoping to rush through the arrow formation and entangle Liang Xiao, so as to buy time for Lie Jiaomi and create an opportunity to kill Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao and others were arrowed like rain, and one Wusun person after another fell to the ground. Before the contact between the two sides, hundreds of Wusun people were killed by arrows.
The two sides contacted and used Alexander's knight to leaps on horseback and holds a spear, killing the Wusun people.
The crossbowmen raised pulleys and crossbows, looking for valuable targets, and sniped calmly.
Liang Xiao, Firefox and other archers raised the bow in their hands and shot at random, shooting one Wusun warriors one by one.
Under the cover of the Han warriors, the Dayuan knights and the Sai people focused on their hearts and pulled out their bows and arrows to shoot batches of arrows into the Wusun people. Unlike Liang Xiao and others who focused on hit rate, they did not aim at all, but only wanted to shoot as fast as possible and shoot as many arrows as possible.
The Wusun people suffered heavy losses.
Although they had been controlling their qualities and were not particularly tired, they had just walked more than a hundred miles and their physical strength was inevitably affected. Liang Xiao and others were waiting for their work and were full of energy. There was a big gap in physical strength between the two sides, especially the physical strength of the war horses. Liang Xiao chose a favorable position and placed the Wusun people on the very awkward left, making the Wusun people unable to shoot, and gained the upper hand. In terms of local forces, Liang Xiao also has an advantage.
The Wusun people had only more than three thousand cavalry on the right wing. Facing the five thousand cavalry led by Liang Xiao and Ashana, they were completely at a disadvantage and fell into a passive attack. They could not see any opportunity for improvement in a short period of time.
The Wusun people were extremely depressed and could only sound the horn of asking for help again and again, and asked Lijiaomi to send the main force to support as soon as possible.
Lie Jiaomi also became a little anxious when he heard the sound of the trumpet. The opportunity that Liang Xiao chose made him feel very uncomfortable. When he was crossing the river, the army was across the river. Even if he was willing to rescue, he could not cross the river quickly. He could only watch the right-wing cavalry responded alone. Although he could not see the specific situation, judging from the momentum and position of both sides, the losses of the right-wing cavalry would not be small. If they could not rescue in time, they might even be wiped out.
Liang Xiao was so arrogant that he actually wanted to eat his right wing in front of him and break his right arm.
While trying hard to remind himself to calm down, Lie Jiaomi ordered the cavalry on the rear wing to cross the river, go around Liang Xiao's right side, seize the favorable terrain, and further encircle Liang Xiao, so as not to let Liang Xiao run away. Compared with the losses of the cavalry on the right, Lie Jiaomi was more worried that Liang Xiao would leave with one strike. This place is only about thirty miles away from the entrance of the gorge. If Liang Xiao wanted to leave and escape without hesitation, he would find it difficult for him to stop Liang Xiao from escaping back to the canyon.
After so much effort, wouldn’t it be just that Liang Xiao was lured out of the canyon? If he was asked to escape back, wouldn’t he be in vain?
For this purpose, Li Jiaomi's first reaction was not to support the cavalry on the right, but to intercept Liang Xiao.
Unfortunately, the situation was still moving in the direction he was least willing to see. After Liang Xiao severely damaged the right wing of the Wusun people, he did not slow down. Instead, he ran faster and faster, and went west without looking back. Although the right wing of the Wusun people suffered heavy losses, he could not hold them back with all his strength. The rear wing that rushed out could not achieve the tactical goal of intercepting Liang Xiao. They followed Liang Xiao and were reluctant to leave, but they could not narrow the distance between each other.
As he was about to leave the main force, the general in the rear wing had to whistle the trumpet to ask Lie Jiaomi for instructions, whether to continue chasing, or give up, and let Liang Xiao leave.
Lie Jiaomi was anxious and ordered to continue pursuing. At the same time, he ordered the troops who had crossed the river to turn, and he would stop Liang Xiao no matter what, so that he could not leave like this.
The sound of trumpets was whimpering, the people of Wusun ran around, the people shouted and the horses were neighing, and there was a hustle and bustle.
Seeing that Lie Jiaomi was determined to stop him, Liang Xiao was overjoyed. While shooting, he ordered Jiaomi to break through. He didn't want to be surrounded by Lie Jiaomi's superior forces. The sound of war drums sounded, and the Dayuan people and the Sai people took the lead and rushed out before the Wusun people surrounded him. Liang Xiao and others slowed down their horses, landed behind, and used precise archery techniques to block the Wusun people's pursuit.
Immediately afterwards, Ashana led the Yuezhi cavalry to rush over.
Liang Xiao and others broke the rear and rode and shot. The Wusun people were so embarrassed by their high archery techniques that they were shot. From time to time, some people were caught in the horse and suffered heavy losses, but they had no choice but to kick the war horse and chased them reluctantly.
Nearly 10,000 riders on both sides rode their horses on the grassland, chasing and fighting, and unknowingly left the main force of the Wusun people.
Lie Jiaomi was anxious and just crossed the river, he followed him with two thousand guards.
No matter how big the risk he takes, he will catch up with Liang Xiao and must not let him escape back to the canyon-
