Chapter 634 Corpse

Among all the knights around Liang Xiao, in terms of training and strength, they are neither Dayuan nor Daxia Jiaqi, but the personal guards led by Pang Shuo, Alexander and others.

From the day they followed Liang Xiao, they were real professional soldiers, and there was nothing worth caring about except training. They had received training from Huan Yuan and Zhongli period and never relaxed. As long as they had time, they had to train for at least one hour every day to maintain their condition.

As for their personal targeted exercises, they are not counted.

It can be said that they are not only true professional soldiers of this era, but also the strongest soldiers who deserve to be the strongest warriors. In contrast, even the Amazon female warriors who take combat as their mission may not be able to surpass them. No one has a deeper understanding of how to train and achieve results than Liang Xiao.

Relatively speaking, Liang Xiao invested in them very amazingly. Armor, weapons, war horses, and daily food and clothing, so why don’t you spend money? Chang'an has many rich generals, but they are willing to spend so much money on their troops. Liang Xiao’s only family has cultivated elites who look down on the world.

What is even more commendable is that these people have never left Liang Xiao or left the battlefield since they joined Liang Xiao's personal guard camp. They are familiar with Liang Xiao's tactics and every move of Liang Xiao, and they don't even need Liang Xiao to speak. As long as Liang Xiao makes every move, they will know what Liang Xiao is going to do.

They have become part of Liang Xiao's body.

Brothers are united and their strength is to cut off gold. When hundreds of well-trained warriors advance and retreat together, life and death together, almost no one can block their full-strength attack. As soon as the two sides contacted, Liang Xiao and Firefox and other archers showed the powerful power of this cooperation and shot and killed the opponent's generals at the first time.

The thousand-man leader was dismissed, and the Huns were shocked and messed up.

Without giving them any buffering time, Liang Xiao and others entered the formation. Pang Shuo waved his long sword, slashed left and right, and killed several people in a row. He rushed to the Huns' flag with one horse, raised his sword and fell, and cut the Huns' flag into two pieces with one sword.

A "crash" sounded, and the Huns' battle flag fell. A long sword hand slapped the horse, pulled off the battle flag, picked it up on the tip of the knife, and left.

A charge, kill the general, and seize the flag!

The two sides were about to part with each other. Liang Xiao and others mercilessly cut off the formation of the Huns like a giant sword, leaving dozens of corpses and blood all over the ground. As soon as they rushed out of the Huns' formation, they immediately turned their horses' heads, and chased the thrilling Huns and shot out a rain of arrows.

At the beginning, they were running against each other, and both sides could shoot very conveniently. The Huns' range was slightly inferior, but the number of people was superior. Now Liang Xiao and others quickly turned around and went around to the right side of the Huns. The Huns were immediately trapped in the dilemma of being chased. The advantage of the number of people could no longer be used, but instead became a disadvantage. If they wanted to shoot Liang Xiao, they had to fall over, but the team of hundreds of people was not so easy to turn around, not to mention that Liang Xiao and others were chasing each other closely, so it would be impossible for them to turn around.

In a blink of an eye, the Huns fell into full passiveness. There are only two things they could do: speed up and escape, throw away Liang Xiao and others, turn around and fight, and fight out a bloody path.

Unfortunately, no matter which choice is not a good choice.

The Huns who turned around to fight quickly realized that in close combat, they were not the opponents of these Han knights holding spears, long swords and iron armor. Before the scimitar was raised, the opponent's spear was stabbed into the chest. Even if they were lucky and hit the opponent, they would not cause any effective damage to the opponent.

As for escaping, the escape that the Huns were best at was so powerless at this moment. Their war horses were not as fast as Dayuan horses, and their bows and arrows were not as far away as the other party. What's even more terrifying is that no matter how they twisted their bodies, it was difficult to find a comfortable shooting posture.

Liang Xiao and others were like maggots attached to bones, firmly occupying the shooting corners of the Huns' right rear.

Both sides galloped on the grassland to pursue, and the Huns fell from the horse one by one, and the team decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the Huns finally turned their horses and ran back, only about half of the 1,000 cavalry were left, and the others had been dropped, some were fleeing in panic on the battlefield, while others had fallen into a pool of blood.

Liang Xiao and others chased after more than 300 steps in front of the Xiongnu formation before slowly strangling the war horses, regaining their lazy appearance just now, and slowly walking back. From time to time, some people bent down to pick up a spear or a bag of arrows, and hung them on their horse's back.

The Huns were stunned and could not believe their eyes.

More than one hundred cavalry fights against one thousand cavalry, can one beat ten, and you can win so easily?

Nandou's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He had a feeling that even without reinforcements, Liang Xiao had enough strength to fight him. Even if he could not win, Liang Xiao could retreat calmly, and he could not catch Liang Xiao.

If Liang Xiao's subordinates were so strong, it would be a dream to defeat him. Even the Right Xian King, who held 30,000 elite cavalry, would not have the confidence to win. He had only 10,000 cavalry and had no hope of winning. Fortunately, he had no impulse just now, otherwise he might not be able to come back like the commander of the thousand-man.

It is difficult to order the entire army to be on guard and not to attack at will.

Hearing the sound of the Huns' horns, Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to the hillside again and got off the horse and rested.

It was getting dark, and the scouts sent by Nandou came back. They brought amazing news: less than ten miles behind Liang Xiao, there were corpses everywhere between the large river valleys, and the bodies of the Wusun people were invisible at a glance. The Wusun people had been defeated by Liang Xiao and were retreating eastward. The Yuezhi people, Dayuan people and Sai people were pursuing them.

Nandou dared not have any unrealistic expectations, so he decided to wait until the Youxian King arrived before talking.

The Youxian King was more than seventy miles behind Nandou.

He brought cattle, sheep and baggage, and his marching speed was limited, but he did not plan to quickly arrive at the battlefield from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, Liang Xiao and Lie Jiaomi were evenly matched, and it would be difficult to find a result in less than two or three days. After two or three days, no matter who wins, he happened to arrive at the battlefield to pick up fruits.

But he never expected that Liang Xiao defeated Lie Jiaomi in just one day and won a great victory.

When he heard the news sent by Nandou, the first reaction of the Youxian King was that Nandou was afraid of fighting and was talking nonsense. This was not surprising. Among the Hun generals, there were many people who were afraid of the Han people, especially Liang Xiao. When the battle was unfavorable, exaggerating the strength of the opponent to cover up his incompetence was the most common method, including the Youxian King himself, who was very good at this.

What puzzled the Right King the most was the place where Lie Jiaomi fought with Liang Xiao. Didn’t it be agreed to retreat two or three hundred miles eastward so that the Huns could intercept Liang Xiao’s retreat? Lie Jiaomi’s head was kicked by a horse and actually rushed back?

The Right Xian King was worried and sent an envoy to the Nandou camp to ask about the specific situation. The envoy was sent out, and he became more and more uneasy as he thought about it. He ordered the entire army to be on guard, especially the baggage camp to be careful. Before the troops arrived, cattle and sheep went first. In the last battle in Henan, the Huns finally withdrew their troops because Liang Xiao attacked their baggage camp.

After several years, the Right Xianwang did not want to repeat the same mistake.

Liang Xiao immediately rode the riverside, put down the clairvoyance in his hand, and sighed softly.

I wanted to attack at night, but after looking around, he gave up. The Hun generals who led the troops were cautious enough and guarded the camp very firmly, leaving him no chance. Forced raids would only bring shame on themselves. If they were ambushed, they might even be wiped out.

Tu Niuer and the Amazon female warrior Seya were fully armed and followed closely behind, staring vigilantly. The night was hazy, less than 500 steps away from the Huns, and they were close to the Huns' guard circle, and the battle could break out at any time. They were burdened with heavy responsibilities and dared not be careless at all.

Liang Xiao was relatively relaxed. He had extraordinary ears and was like a fish in water under the cover of night. If the Huns approached, he would be able to detect it outside the range and take the initiative.

"Let's go, go back." Liang Xiao looked up and looked at the sky.

"Here." Tu Niuer responded and turned his horse's head. He took two steps, suddenly pulled Liang Xiao's arm, and one hand pressed the knife ring on it. "Bo Ming, in the middle of the river."

Liang Xiao looked to the middle of the river and saw a black shadow floating in the middle of the river, vaguely like a person, rippling with the waves. He was also a little nervous, subconsciously took off his bow and took an arrow. Seya also turned around, raised her shield, and protected Liang Xiao and Tu Niuer behind her.

Liang Xiao looked at it for a while, and saw that the black shadow had no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked into the distance and suddenly realized.

"It's a corpse, a corpse floating upstream."

Tu Niuer also discovered that there were black shadows one after another in the middle of the river, and more and more, moving slowly towards the west.

Unconsciously, the individual corpses were connected into one piece, covering most of the river surface. Some were washed to the shore and surrounded by water plants, rising and falling, but unable to leave. Some collided with each other, but there was no sound.

Liang Xiao's back felt cold. There were so many corpses silently and drifting with the flow, which looked creepy. This tragic situation was inseparable from him. Whether it was Wusun, Dayuan, Sai, or Yuezhi people, they all died because of the war he initiated.

Liang Xiao was stunned for a while until Tu Niuer found something was wrong with him and screamed a few times before he came to his senses.

"What's wrong?" Tu Niuer asked in a low voice.

"Oh, nothing." Liang Xiao turned his horse's head and rushed towards the camp. Tuniu and Seya hurriedly followed. After leaving the Huns' guard circle, they let the horse gallop and returned to the camp.

"Who? Who?" The alert soldier stood up from the grass and asked sternly, holding a crossbow in his hand. The sharp crossbow arrows flashed with cold light, like stars.

"I!" Liang Xiao raised the bow in his hand and shook it.

"It turns out that Junhou is back." The soldier greeted him with a smile, turned around and prepared to return to his hiding place.

Liang Xiao held back the war horse. "You go back and rest first, tell Alexander that I'm back."

The soldier was stunned for a moment, but without asking much questions, he turned around and left. Liang Xiao got off the horse, found the soldier's single pit, and lay in. Tu Niuer was puzzled. "Bo Ming, what's wrong with you?"

"You guys go back first, I have to think about something."

"What can't you go back and think about it? You have to think about it here?" Tu Niu'er was a little anxious. Liang Xiao did this very dangerously. If an accident happened, he and Sai Ya could not protect Liang Xiaoquan.

"There are too many people back, so I can't calm down." Liang Xiao smiled. "You should stay away, at least fifty steps away, don't let me hear your breathing."

Seeing Liang Xiao insisting, Tu Niu'er had no choice but to ask Seya to go back and call more people, at least in several directions. He had to find a place to lie down, looking up at the sky, and not sleeping. After following Liang Xiao for so long, he had developed this way of rest. As long as there was a turbulence, he could open his eyes and start fighting as soon as possible.

Liang Xiao hugged his head with both hands, looked at the cold stars flashing in the night sky, and listened to the river flowing beside him, and all the corpses were lingering in his mind.

The next morning, the envoy rushed back, not only confirming the news sent by Naondo, but also new news. He saw Liang Xiao's battle flag with his own eyes and also obtained an iron arrow. The Right Xianwang had seen such iron arrows before. When he was in Dabancheng, similar iron arrows shot and killed many Xiongnu generals, leaving a deep psychological shadow on the Huns.

Looking at the iron arrow, the Right Xianwang realized that Nandou was not lying. He was really fighting against Liang Xiao, and had already lost for a while. One thousand people attacked, but was killed by Liang Xiao, who had only more than a hundred cavalry, with heavy casualties.

The Right Xianwang couldn't figure it out: Why did Lie Jiaomi change his previous combat plan and take the initiative to fight Liang Xiao? When was the time for them to fight, what was the process of the battle, and was Liang Xiao's loss great?

Everything is a mystery.

Just as the Youxian King was thinking hard and trying to find Liang Xiao’s flaw, someone came to report that he saw a corpse and a large number of corpses in the river.

King Youxian was shocked, and hurriedly came out of the tent and came to the riverside.

Sure enough, the river was full of corpses, one by one, one by one, and one by one, with no head at a glance, and the entire river surface was covered.

The Youxian King felt a chill that rushed straight into his forehead. Even though he had experienced many battles and had seen countless dead people, he was shocked by this scene.

“When did you find it?”

"When I fetched the water this morning." A soldier led the horse with a pale face, and it looked like the corpse that had been soaked in the river for a long time had climbed up the shore. "I came to feed the horses. When I saw the corpses in the river, I wanted to find a clean place. Unexpectedly... Unexpectedly, there were more and more corpses, and the whole river was full."

"Who is it?"

"Almost all of them are Wusun."

"Wusun people?" The King of Youxian moved his heart and looked up at the distance. The same was true for the upstream of the Yili River. The densely packed corpses were all covered with corpses. It was roughly estimated that there were no more than 800. He asked someone to pull up several relatively well-equipped corpses, checked carefully, and soon found another iron arrow.

The iron crossbow arrows unique to the Han people should be the Wusun people defeated by Liang Xiao and others, and the personal guards hunted by Jiaomi as Nandou.

The Youxian King thought about it and suddenly woke up like a dream, and couldn't help but stomp his feet and curse.

"Nandou, this idiot, was scared by Liang Xiao and wasted a great opportunity. The person who came, passed my order, ordered Nandou to attack immediately and trapped Liang Xiao. The personal guard camp, follow me and move forward at full speed!" -
