Liang Xiao held his eyes up and did not move.

But Tu Niuer and others felt a strong sense of uneasiness, and they all remained silent and looked solemn.

Liang Xiao didn't say much since last night. He had been thinking, or he would climb up to the high places around to observe the enemy situation. This time, he had been watching for a very long time, as if he had been petrified, with an indescribable weirdness.

As Liang Xiao’s closest companion, Tu Niuer felt Liang Xiao’s uneasiness. Once upon a time, Tu Niuer had a similar feeling when he was against Feng Ji. At that time, Liang Xiao’s shooting skills were not yet complete, and he was somewhat timid. He came to the Western Regions, especially after seizing the Black Bow, Liang Xiao won every battle, and he hadn’t felt this way for a long time.

Tu Niuer stood quietly beside Liang Xiao, holding the reins of the horse, not speaking, but raising his ears.

I don’t know how long it took, Liang Xiao put down his eyes and looked up at the sky. “We have blocked the Huns for a day?”

Tu Niuer also glanced at the sun in the sky, then looked down at the shadow. "It should be an hour away."

"Then..." Liang Xiao hesitated for a moment. "Just wait a little longer, you can't lose to the Yuezhi people."

Tu Niuer looked around and whispered: "Is there any danger?"

Liang Xiao turned around and looked at Tu Niuer, nodded, and pointed to the corpse that was drifting in the river. "That is a flaw. I hope the Huns didn't notice it. If we noticed it, we would probably be surrounded."

Tu Niuer looked at the corpse, thought about it and then, but still couldn't quite understand. "What flaws can these Wusun people have?"

Liang Xiao grinned, but there was no laughter, but there was a little bitterness. He was in a mood now, and there was always a sense of danger approaching and a disaster was coming, but he did not dare to reveal it. He hoped that the Huns would not notice this problem, but at the same time, he felt that the Huns were very likely to notice it.

It is said that the Huns are wolves, and wolves are animals that are naturally vigilant. The environment here is similar to the grassland and is very similar to the environment they are familiar with. The instincts they cultivated on the grassland for many years should not be affected. In contrast, he still remains rationally analyzing the grassland cavalry, and has not truly integrated into the blood, and his intuition is not sensitive enough.

If something goes wrong this time, this may be a turning point.

Liang Xiao wanted to turn around and leave. Before the Huns responded, he immediately returned to the canyon. The canyon was well prepared, and there were enough cattle, sheep, and supplies to support until the beginning of next spring. But if he left now, the Huns would drive straight in, and Azhanna and Doros would be in danger. After the fierce battle, they could not resist the attacks of the Huns and would be severely injured.

Without Ashana and Doros, he could not stand it for too long.

Without the support of the Yuezhi people and the Daxia people, he could not gain a foothold in the Western Regions.

So although he was very nervous, while the Huns had not yet moved, he still felt like he was nailed to the ground and could not move. He was afraid that he would not be able to control his urge to escape once he moved, and his reputation would be ruined forever.

He just held his eyes wide open and watched closely the Huns' every move.

The sun seemed to have settled in the sky, and it didn't move for a long time.

Although the temperature is not very high, Liang Xiao's back is already covered with dense layers of cold sweat, soaking his battle robe.

Nandou stared at the knight who was passing the order and looked again and again: "Take it serious?"

"It's true." The knight nodded vigorously, and the sweat beads on his head were thrown off, dripping into the soil under his feet, and disappeared in an instant. He followed the order of the Right Xianwang, one man and three horses, and ran here wildly, in order to pass on the order of the Right Xianwang in time to ensure that the fighter plane would not be delayed.

He turned his eyes around and began to send people to each battalion to convey orders. He did not beat the drums and gathered generals to issue orders in a unified manner, but instead sent the orders to each battalion, allowing the generals of each battalion to act separately. No one knew what the others were doing.

He didn't know why he did this, but he did it, and instinctively felt that this was the best choice.

Soon, the three thousand cavalrymen left the camp and circled a circle from afar, avoided Liang Xiao's sight and went east. The three thousand cavalrymen walked around Liang Xiao's back and cut off Liang Xiao's retreat, so that he would not have the opportunity to retreat to the canyon.

While these three thousand riders were detouring, Nandou personally rushed to the front of the camp and looked at Liang Xiao on the hillside from afar. His heart was raised to his throat, and even breathing became very difficult.

If the analysis of the Right Xianwang is correct, Liang Xiao really only has more than a hundred cavalry and does not have ambush, or the number of ambush is limited, then this is a good opportunity. He may use his superior force to trap Liang Xiao and achieve a wonderful achievement.

But if the analysis of the Right Xianwang is wrong, Liang Xiao's main force will be behind him and wait for him to take the bait, then these three thousand cavalry will be thrown to the hungry wolf pack, and there will be no bone scum left. After Liang Xiao succeeds, he may even attack him. Since Lie Jiaomi is not Liang Xiao's opponent, his losses will be very heavy.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He ordered all the cavalry in the camp to prepare for battle to deal with possible battles at any time. Dozens of cavalry scouts were sent out to keep alert in all directions of the camp.

He waited patiently for an hour until the scouts behind him heard news that the main force of the Right Xian King was coming. He was less than ten miles away from him. Nandou breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the entire army to attack.

Six or seven thousand cavalry rushed out of the camp, divided into three columns, and surrounded the left and right wings. It was difficult to lead the central army and rushed towards Liang Xiao in the distance.

Liang Xiao lowered his eyes, looked at the shadow on the ground, and sighed secretly.

"Ashana, I have completed the task more than I have. I hope you can complete the task too. As long as you can kill Hu Jiaomi, I am willing to lose to you ten top-class Dayuan horses. If you can't, then there will be a lot of trouble."

He shook his head, threw these thoughts out of his head, and kicked the mount lightly. "Go!"

The knights boarded the horses, turned their heads, and galloped eastward. They had seen the Huns surrounded by two wings, but they were not nervous. They rode Dayuan horses, and they were not comparable to the Huns' war horses in terms of speed and endurance. Among all the war horses, the Huns' horses were better than the Central Plains horses, and they could not compare with the Wusun horses, let alone the Dayuan horses.

With the strength of Dayuan horses, they can easily get rid of the Huns and let them pick up horse shit from behind.

Liang Xiao ran and looked back to observe. After all the three Huns attacked, he discovered some problems.

Nandou either had a reserve team or had other arrangements. There were only six or seven thousand troops in these three routes, which was too far from ten thousand.

Liang Xiao thought about it and called the female matriarch, asking her to arrange a few female knights who are flexible and agile, to go to the entrance of the gorge. If there are Huns blocking the way, rush back to inform the princess and Jianmi. If you can't rush, come back immediately and don't fight.

The female matriarch responded and ordered five female warriors, asking them to take the lead. After listening to the order, the female warrior ran away with three horses.

Liang Xiao and others maintained their speed and slowly led the Huns to gallop eastward.

Seeing Liang Xiao retreating, Nandou knew that the speculation of the Right Xian King was correct. Liang Xiao was just bluffing and had no ambush at all. He wasted a day and hundreds of people died. If he had done everything yesterday, how could he wait until now?

Nandou regrets it very much. He wished he could catch Liang Xiao immediately, but he did not dare to order a full-speed pursuit. When the cavalry fought, they would not be able to run at full speed until they were not allowed, especially when the two sides were far apart. After running at full speed, the horse's physical strength was quickly consumed. When they got involved, there was still enough physical strength to do the movements. Without physical strength, no tactic could be achieved.

Nandou issued several orders in succession to keep all the soldiers at a speed and not be led out of control by Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao rode a Dayuan horse, and the Hun horse could not keep up with the Dayuan horse. If he forced the speed comparison, he would eventually be dragged down by Liang Xiao. Anyway, even if Liang Xiao was fast, it would be useless. There were still three thousand riders waiting for him in front.

Under the control of Nandou, the Huns ran forward at their own pace, gradually widening the distance, watching Liang Xiao and others disappear on the horizon in the distance.

Liang Xiao did not feel relaxed but became even more uneasy after temporarily getting rid of the Huns. Nandou was cautious and did not give him any chance to attack. Although it was frustrating, it was even more uneasy for such a cautious person to attack. He had a feeling that the thousands of Huns he had not seen might not have been kept as reserve by Nandou, but had other arrangements.

For example, he went back to him.

Liang Xiao raised his head and looked at the sky on the west side. Six or seven thousand Huns ran behind him. The dust rolled up blocked the sky and made him unable to see the snow-capped mountains in the distance. However, he clearly felt that more Huns were approaching, not far from the battlefield.

With a difficult-to-do personality, how could he not keep a reserve team unless he already has a reserve team?

The Youxian King came. He found the corpse in the river and saw through his reality, so he rushed over.

Liang Xiao shook his head helplessly, and it was indeed unreliable to pin his hopes on the enemy's stupidity. But then again, if he was given another chance to choose, the change he could make was to send someone to notify Jian Mi and Ashana and others as soon as possible, but it was impossible to retreat immediately.

Liang Xiao ran and called Tu Niuer, asking him to arrange a few people to go east, find a way to bypass the Huns, inform Ashana and Doros, and make them ready for the fight.

Several knights quickly accelerated and left the brigade. Liang Xiao summoned the remaining people to his side and said loudly: "How do you feel after a day off?"

A ranger laughed loudly and said, "The other thing is that his hands are a little itchy. Junhou, where are we going to run and when will we fight another battle with the Huns?"

"Don't worry, there are tens of thousands of Huns behind us, you will kill them." Liang Xiao laughed loudly. "But before the battle, we have to walk them around and let them see how good the Dayuan horses are. When they are dragged to their legs, they will kill them one of them."

"Okay!" Pang Shuo slapped his thigh and shouted: "I'm so fat that I'll lose weight, but I'll die of thinness. I'll kill you at that time."

Another Ranger rushed up and said with a smile: "I've dragged it to death, why are you still killing?"

"It's not all of them to death, why are you in a hurry?" Pang Shuo rolled his eyes. "Ten thousand Huns, half of them to death, and there are still thousands more, which is not enough for you to kill?"

Ranger stroked his chest and breathed an exaggerated breath. "It's okay, it's so boring to drag it all to death."

Everyone laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Not only did they not see any panic at being chased, but they were somewhat calm and excited to win. The female warriors' eyes were shiny and the stars were emerging. When the rangers saw it, they were even more energetic and laughed loudly to show that they did not take the Huns seriously.

Liang Xiao saw it and felt very calm. No matter whether these subordinates are really confident or ignorant, being calm is better than being panic. Once a person is confused, he is prone to making mistakes, and what he cannot tolerate the most now is making mistakes.

Once you make a mistake, you may die without a place to bury it.

Liang Xiao was riding his horse and thinking nervously about countermeasures. The terrain of the Yili River Valley unfolded in his mind. The Wusun people, the Xiongnu people, the Yuezhi people, the Daxia people, and the Dayuan people all came alive, jumping horses and rushing back and forth.

They ran forward twenty miles and sent three female soldiers to inquire at the gorge to return. They saw the Huns, about 3,000 people, right in front of Liang Xiao and others. Two female soldiers hiked over the mountains and reported to the princess, and the rest came back to report to Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao was very satisfied. Although these female soldiers were in battle for the first time, they were no worse than any man. They responded very well.

Liang Xiao immediately ordered to adjust his direction of progress, cross the Yili River, and run towards the south side of the valley.

The Huns were determined to prevent Liang Xiao from returning to the canyon and arranged their heavy troops to the north side of the valley. There were only some surveillance scouts on the south side of the valley. Seeing Liang Xiao and others running towards each other, these scouts did not dare to step forward to intercept them, so they had to watch Liang Xiao and others go away. When Nandou learned about this news, Liang Xiao had already jumped out of their encirclement.

He was furious and arranged for people to continue chasing, and sent someone to report to the Youxian King to ask for instructions on the next step.

The Right Xian King rushed over for more than 100 miles, but failed to stop Liang Xiao, and was so angry that he cursed. He ordered Nandou to attack Xiakou, and he personally led the main force to continue chasing eastward, preparing to meet with Jiaomi and kill Liang Xiao.

Nandou was very depressed, but he had nothing to say. He wasted a great opportunity to surround Liang Xiao and could not blame others. He believed that he was cautious, but in the eyes of the Huns, he was not cautious, but timid. No one respected the cowards. It was quite light for the Right King to scold him, and it was considered to give him face if he didn't kill him directly.

Nandou regrouped and came to the gorge to check the terrain. After seeing it, he ordered a camp at the place where Liejiaomi once set up camp, preparing to guard the gorge and prevent people from coming out. As for taking the initiative to attack, he didn't want to. Just look at the stone formation and know that attacking such a position is no different from dying. Just wait honestly and wait for the Right Xian King to come back.

If he could kill Liang Xiao, there would be no need to attack. If he could not kill Liang Xiao, what's the use of breaking the position?

It's hard to worry about peace of mind-
