Chapter 633
Ashana bowed his hand and took the Yuezhi people and rushed to hunt down the Wusun defeated soldiers.
With his experience, he certainly would not believe that Liang Xiao was as confident as he showed, nor could he believe that Liang Xiao would win because of this. However, seeing that Liang Xiao could chat and laugh in such an unfavorable situation, he was willing to gamble with Liang Xiao.
What's more, Liang Xiao left the most difficult task to himself, but asked him to pursue the Wusun people. What else can he say? He can't give up the great opportunity to severely damage Jiaomi and hide back to the canyon.
The situation would be even worse if the Huns and Wusun people met.
After comprehensive weighing, Ashana made a bet with Liang Xiao, and for the first time he sincerely hoped that Liang Xiao would win.
Seeing Asha's far away, the smile on Liang Xiao's face quickly dissipated. He held the numb palm and issued an order to change horses immediately, seize the time to eat something, organize equipment, especially replenish arrows, and change a string to the black bow. The injured warrior drove the injured warrior back to the canyon to exchange the energetic warriors and warriors.
Half an hour later, more than fifty female Amazon soldiers, led by the female leader, drove more than a hundred Dayuan war horses to Liang Xiao. Luo Xuli's mount, the snow-white Dayuan horse was in the line.
Seeing all this, Liang Xiao said nothing. Pang Shuo and others also made way out. The female matriarch took the lead and came to Liang Xiao's side, bowed slightly, and saluted Liang Xiao.
Liang Xiao returned the favor and smiled, with a bitter smile. Seeing these female Amazon warriors, he seemed to have returned to the scene when he first arrived in the Western Regions. At that time, Luo Xuli arranged four female Amazon warriors to be his maids. These four people went through life and death with him, and Sigma finally froze to death in the snow-capped mountains.
"Alkapa will sleep in that mountain." Liang Xiao turned around and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the east with sad eyes. "I will take you to see her after this battle. If I die in battle, please give me a princess."
"If the general dies in battle, we will go with Alcapa." The matriarch smiled slightly. "She will never be alone."
Liang Xiao nodded. "Okay, whether it is life or death, we will accompany her. Let's go and meet the Huns."
"Here!" The Amazon female warrior was so arrogant that she shouted in unison.
"Let's go!" Tu Niu'er and other young men were also excited when they saw this group of heroic female warriors. No one was willing to show weakness, and one was louder than the other. "Come to the Huns!"
Liang Xiao led the more than a hundred riders and rode lightly on horseback. They were talking and laughing loudly. Someone sang in a loud voice, singing loudly, echoing on the grassland.
In the canyon, Luo Xuli stood on the shooting platform, watching Liang Xiao and his team gradually move farther away, and reached out to pinch Hannibal's little face. "My Hannibal, take a good look at your father's heroic posture. When you grow up in the future, you must be as brave and brave as your father."
Jianmi stood aside and sighed regretfully. "My luck is really bad. I can only stay in the valley with such a good opportunity."
Luo Xuli giggled and said, "The battle is not over yet, and the real decisive battle has not begun. Why do you sigh? General Jianmi, you will have a chance to show your courage."
Jian Mi raised her eyebrows. "Take it serious?"
"Of course." Luo Xuli also raised her eyebrows. "I am the one who is the general who trusts the most. How could he forget you?"
Jian Mi nodded repeatedly and laughed.
Liang Xiao and his party walked forward a few miles and met ten thousand cavalry of the Huns' vanguard.
Seeing the opponent's battle flag, Liang Xiao held the war horse, and the Huns slowed down and slowly lined up. Ten thousand cavalry separated on both sides of the Xiongnu Little King who was commanding the troops, with amazing momentum. In contrast, Liang Xiao, who had only more than one hundred cavalry, was obviously weak.
However, Liang Xiao himself did not feel that way, at least he couldn't see it on his face. The men and women soldiers around him did not have any tension. They were joking while chasing each other, bursts of laughter bursts burst out from time to time.
I just experienced a fierce battle and was a little tired at first, but the arrival of the Amazon female warrior diluted all this. Whether it was the Ranger from the Han Dynasty or the mercenaries who followed Liang Xiao very early, they all raised their chests and joked loudly, seemingly indifferent. The Amazon female warriors are also familiar with them and usually jokes a lot. At this moment, they are in the battlefield, they are even more unrestrained and counterattacked from time to time, and even chased the Rangers.
Liang Xiao was very satisfied. He called Tu Niuer, gave him a few instructions, and asked him to come forward to talk.
Tu Niuer took the order, kicked the war horse lightly, rushed out of the battle formation, and headed straight for the battle flag of the Huns's little king.
Seeing a horse galloping towards him, the little Huns Wang Nandou was a little surprised. He strangled his war horse and stared at Liang Xiao in the distance and looked again and again. It was too far away, and he couldn't see Liang Xiao's face clearly, but he could see the knights chasing each other beside Liang Xiao, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Liang Xiao’s performance is too weird. Is he really here to fight? Why do he look so like a bait?
Nandou's idea is not cowardly. As the little king of the right Xiongnu and one of the trusted generals of the Right Xianwang, he has experience in the battle with Liang Xiao. Whether it is the expedition to Dayuan or the battle in Henan, he is a witness and is not unfamiliar with Liang Xiao's tactics.
It can be said that Liang Xiao's name has been deeply engraved in the hearts of every Hun. Anyone who takes it lightly is either dead on the battlefield or is about to die on the battlefield. For any Hun general, Liang Xiao is an opponent that cannot be ignored.
Nandou has his own strengths and his cautiousness besides courage is one of his few advantages.
With difficulty in weighing the pros and cons, Tu Niuer came to him. He sat upright on the horse's back, spreading his arms, and there was no weapon except the reins in his hand. He smiled with a smile, although there was blood on his face, and his smile looked a little ferocious.
"Who are you?" Nandou said loudly, and at the same time, he shook the horse whip quietly, indicating that the guards around him did not need to come forward to intercept them. The other party was just a person, so there was no need to be too nervous to avoid making fun of the Han people.
"The warrior in front of the Han champion Hou Zuo, Tu Niuer." Tu Niuer strangled his throne and said loudly: "I dare to ask, where is the Right Xian King and when will it arrive?"
Nandou didn't know anything about Tu Niu'er, but he was very dissatisfied with Tu Niu'er asking only the Right Xian King, but not who he was. Although I am not as famous as the Right Xian King, I am the little prince of the Huns who commanded the ten thousand cavalry. Isn't it worthy of your greetings?
"The Youxian King is behind me and will arrive soon." Nandou's face fell down. "You only have such a few people, so why bother to ask the Youxian King."
Tu Niuer glanced at Nandou, raised his head again, looked at the battle flag behind Nandou, and smiled. "If you have itchy hands, we can also play with you first. It is not too late to fight with him when the Right Xian King comes. Anyway, our main force is chasing Lie Jiaomi, and we will not be able to come back for a while."
Nandou is even more angry. According to what you mean, if you only have more than a hundred people to fight me? This is too underestimated. I have ten thousand cavalry here. Even if my strength is weak, a hundred times the strength is enough to kill you, right?
Nandou really wanted to order a charge, first take down this Han boy who was too loud, and then kill Liang Xiao in one fell swoop. But when he said something, he swallowed it back. What Tu Niuer said just now surprised him.
"You are chasing Hu Jiaomi, and Hu Jiaomi is defeated?"
"Yes, it happened not long before you came. I heard that you Huns came, and I thought it was the Right King, and we didn't even have time to eat, so we came to meet him. I didn't expect it."
Tu Niuer smacked his lips, which sounded a little regretful. But this sentence fell into Nandou's ears, but it added an indescribable contempt. He thought it was the Right Xian King, so he came forward, but it turned out not. What do you mean is that if you know it was not the Right Xian King, would you not even have more than a hundred people to come?
The more Naodu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he wanted to order a charge immediately, but the more he did, the less he dared to take it lightly.
Liang Xiao defeated Lie Jiaomi, is it credible or not?
His main force is chasing Lie Jiaomi. Is this really the case?
If he is lying, for example, his main force is ambushing behind him. The entrance of the gorge where he confronts Liejiaomi is not far ahead, it is very easy for him to retreat. Similarly, if his main force is ambushing in the mouth of the gorge, and suddenly rushes out when the Huns pursue it, cut off the Huns in half, and the threat should not be underestimated.
He had just walked a hundred miles to get here, but Liang Xiao was waiting for his work. If he had a fight, Liang Xiao would have a physical advantage.
It was difficult to make a decision for a while. He didn't believe Tu Niuer's words, so he needed more accurate news. It would be irrational to launch a rash attack before this.
"Where are the arrogant people?"
"Escape." Tu Niuer shook his head. "The Wusun people are too weak, 20,000 to 30,000 people, and they run away in a fight. It's really boring. Although you Huns are not very good, they are still better than the Wusun people."
Nandou almost laughed angry. Are you praising us or hurting us? But think about it on the other hand, what Tu Niuer said is true. The Huns are indeed better than the Wusuns, but in front of the Han people, the Huns have no capital to be proud, especially in front of this champion Hou. After several battles, the Huns did not gain any advantage.
In this way, it is not impossible for Lie Jiaomi to be defeated by Liang Xiao, but on the contrary, it is a high probability. Even the Huns are not Liang Xiao's opponents, so Lie Jiaomi is what?
Nandou quickly evaluated the strength comparison of the Han people, Xiongnu and Wusun people, and the more he thought about it, the less confident he became. He called two personal guards, whispered a few words, and told them to inform the Youxian King and the other to arrange for the scout to inquire about the situation on the battlefield. At the same time, he was having a random chat with Tu Niuer.
Tu Niuer was not in a hurry. The task Liang Xiao assigned him was to delay time. The more he was unsure, the easier it was to complete his task.
In the distance, Liang Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to the Right King, he sent such a general who was a little smart. The matter of the empty city strategy was only effective against such general who was a little smart. If he was a rash man who exploded at a little, he would rush up first, and then he would have to turn around and run away.
Seeing that the Huns had no sign of attacking, Liang Xiao acted more relaxed. He jumped off his horse and took a walk on the grassland, as if he was waiting for the Right King to come to reminisce about the past, but he was secretly praying in his heart, "It's getting dark, it's getting dark, it's getting dark, it's getting dark, it's getting dark, this trick of pretending to be a magical trick will be even better."
Seeing Liang Xiao dismounting the horse, the mercenaries and rangers also dispersed and moved freely. Some people got off the horse and paced back and forth, some went to the river to wash horses, and some even sat on the grass, pulled out their armor and caught lice, which was not like fighting, but like an outing.
Seeing Liang Xiao and others so relaxed from afar, it was even more difficult to careless. In his opinion, unless Liang Xiao’s mind was broken, this would definitely be a trap and a bait. Don’t look at them so relaxed now, when he rushed over, it might be a completely different situation.
Although Nandou had enough rationality to suppress his urge to attack, he still did not give up. After repeated weighing, he decided to send a thousand cavalry to try Liang Xiao and others' confidence to see if he was bluffing or really fearless.
The sound of trumpets sounded, the flags swayed, and a thousand Hun cavalry rushed out from the right wing and rushed towards Liang Xiao and others.
Tu Niuer glanced at it and curled his lips. These cavalrymen seemed to be of large numbers, but judging from their position, they were not considered elite. For Liang Xiao and others, these thousand cavalry could not pose any real threat.
Seeing that Tu Niuer was indifferent and even felt a little contemptuous, he couldn't worry about talking to Tu Niuer, staring at the battlefield without blinking.
Hearing the sound of the horn, Liang Xiao, who was walking, glanced at the horse, raised his black bow, kicked the mount lightly, and started trotting.
Firefox and other archers, and the crossbowman were always by Liang Xiao's side. Seeing this, he immediately jumped onto the horse, took off his bow and raised the crossbow, and prepared to shoot. The female Amazon warriors also activated the war horses, followed closely, and gathered on both sides of Liang Xiao.
The knights scattered around heard the sound of horns, and they also got on their horses, picked up their weapons, and quickly moved towards Liang Xiao. They rode their horses and transformed from a loose formation into a charge formation within a short distance of hundreds of steps. The timing was just right. When the formation was formed, it was when Liang Xiao shot out the whistle that announced the attack.
"Swoosh!" A whistlebrating branch broke through the air, flew a hundred steps, and hit the breastplate of a Hun Knight with one arrow, shot in from the front chest and shot out from the back. The Hun Knight turned over and fell off the horse, and had only had time to let out two screams and was trampled by the galloping war horse, and died.
At the same time, the crossbowmen and archers shot intensively, focusing on the left front of the Huns. Dozens of arrows shot at the same time, and more than a dozen Hun knights were the first to be attacked and were all shot. The Huns' charge formation was blocked and their momentum was slightly stagnant. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alexander and others arrived, took the lead, and rushed into the Huns' formation.
"Kill!" Alexander fell with a spear in his hand and knocked a Hun knight down.
"Kill!" Pang Shuo waved his long sword with one hand and cut off the arm of a Hun knight with one knife.
Liang Xiao raised his black bow, smiled slightly at the white-colored commander under the flag, and shot four arrows in a row.
Several crossbowmen pulled the crossbow machine at the same time.
A hundred steps apart, there were mixed people and horses. The commander saw Liang Xiao, but he didn't know that he had become Liang Xiao's target. When he felt the danger, several sharp arrows had already flown in front of him, and at least three arrows shot into his face at the same time.
The commander of the thousand-man did not even have time to say a word, and turned over and fell off the horse.
