Chapter 636 Dilemma

If you have a bad chess, don’t have any hands or feet.

The Right Xian King saw Liang Xiao's weakness and rushed for hundreds of miles in one breath. He wanted to catch Liang Xiao, but he didn't expect that Liang Xiao would still be run away. Liang Xiao did not run back to the canyon, and the difficulty in blocking the people in advance had lost its meaning. He watched Liang Xiao go east.

The Right Xian King faced a dilemma: should I continue chasing, or should I guard the gorge first, and wait until Liang Xiao and Lie Jiaomi were killed and both were injured?

Continuing to chase is a huge test for the Right Xian King. Long-distance march has high requirements for soldiers and war horses. The Huns feed on cattle and sheep, and their logistics supplies include a large number of cattle and sheep. If they pursue Liang Xiao, the distance between him and the baggage camp will be dozens or even hundreds of miles away, and this distance may leave Liang Xiao a chance.

If you don't chase after, if Liang Xiao kills Lie Jiaomi and annexes the Wusun people, his strength will grow, and it is likely that he will be a disaster for raising a tiger.

After repeated weighing, the Right King decided to pursue him again.

Even so, he was very troubled by the speed of pursuit. Liang Xiao had few people and strong horses, and he ran very fast. He couldn't keep up, so he could only stay away and relied on the large number of scouts to convey the message. This was a very tormenting thing. When Liang Xiao drilled into a canyon, he would be difficult to find him again.

The Youxian King gritted his teeth and insisted. On the one hand, he was very excited about the possibility of grabbing Liang Xiao, and on the other hand, he was extremely nervous about the possibility of being retaliated by Liang Xiao. The string in his mind was almost broken.

Liang Xiao was also very nervous. It was easy for him to get rid of the Right Xian King. Even if he didn't find a valley to hide, just by the difference in speed of the war horse, he could make the Right Xian King unable to see the horse's butt. The problem was that he didn't dare to let go. He ran too fast. What could he do if he met with Ashana and Doros?

Compared with the strength of both sides, even if Ashana and Doros can kill Lie Jiaomi and damage the Wusun people severely, they will not suffer a small loss. They don’t even breathe and fight with the Huns to death? It’s simply a matter of seeking death. If they fail to kill Lie Jiaomi, both sides will be in a stalemate and bringing the Huns over at this time will be even more of a disaster.

He could only maintain speed and counterattack when necessary, and delay the pace of the Huns as much as possible. However, he could not counterattack too hard, and the size of casualties was a small problem. He was afraid that the Right King would see the flaws and divide his troops to support Lie Jiaomi.

The scoop was afraid of fighting the wolf, but in the final analysis, Liang Xiao was even more worried. Although the Right Xianwang seemed passive, he was in control of his strength and was fearless. Both sides chased him out in one day, in one go, one after another. At the moment when the sunset was set, Liang Xiao and the Right Xianwang, who were more than ten miles apart, breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

For Liang Xiao, this added another night of buffering time, allowing him to plan how to deal with the Right King while waiting for news from Ashana and Doros.

He didn't know if the Youxian King saw through his reality as he thought, but he must be sure of chasing Youxian King with relentless attitude. After all, the Youxian King is the Youxian King. Although his strength is not as good as before, he is still a hero on the grassland after all, and he still has this insight. It is no easier to deal with such a person than to deal with Lie Jiaomi.

What if Asha couldn't handle the Lie Jiaomi, the Right King and Lie Jiaomi met?

When Liang Xiao thought of this result, he was a little overwhelmed, but he had to consider this issue. Judging from the current situation, this is almost a high probability result. From the canyon, he had run east for more than 60 miles and saw a large number of Wusun corpses along the way, but he did not see the shadow of Ashana and others, which means that the battle is not over yet.

Greek archers are good at attacking and not conducive to pursuit. The farther the distance, the less powerful it is. Azhana and Doros were unable to secure victory even if they chased them so far. The situation is probably not good. The further they chased, the lower the winning rate, and the more unfavorable the situation was for them.

For Liang Xiao, this is certainly not the result he hopes to see. But now that things have come to this, he can only face it.

Liang Xiao sat in front of the bonfire, chewing a piece of rat meat while thinking about his mind. The Xiongnu people cut off their retreat and failed to retreat to the canyon in time. The eating of the people and horses became a problem. The war horses could barely satisfy their hunger with grass, so people could only rely on hunting. Fortunately, these knights were all masters of riding and shooting. The Yili River Valley was vast and there were many wild animals, so they couldn't starve them.

Liang Xiao ate rat meat for the first time. The taste was not bad, and it could even be called delicious, but the image of the mouse still made him feel difficult to swallow. However, the situation is urgent now, and it is not the time when he is poor and he can only pinch his nose and swallow.

Others didn't think there was any problem, especially those of Firefox mercenaries and Alexander, Greek teenagers who had been grazing sheep on the grassland since childhood. They had eaten happily, and some even lamented that they hadn't eaten such delicious food for years, which made Liang Xiao feel a little amused.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar. Liang Xiao was the first to hear it and then looked into the distance.

Two war horses rushed over, one of them was Liang Xiao's troops Cui Liu, who had sent one of the messengers to contact Ashana and Doros before. The other was the Yuezhi people, the personal guards around Ashana, and the name seemed to be Victor. Liang Xiao had seen him many times, and when he saw him coming, he couldn't help but feel a little upset. The situation in Ashana might not be very good, otherwise he would not be so cautious.

Liang Xiao took a breath quietly, keeping himself calm and not showing panic. He will be the courage of a soldier, he is the soul of this army. If he shakes any movement, the impact on morale will cause a fatal blow.

Victor rushed to Liang Xiao and glanced at Liang Xiao's face first. Seeing that Liang Xiao looked calm, he breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and saluted, and said in stiff Chinese words: "Victor, the guard beside Dalu, has seen the general."

"Sit." Liang Xiao pointed to the opposite side, signaled Victor to sit down, and handed over another bunch of meat. "If you are tired, eat something first."

"Thank you, General." Victor took the meat and chewed it clean in a few bites. He wiped his mouth and said, "General"

"Wait, let me guess first." Liang Xiao suppressed the urge to curse and smiled: "Da Lu is less than a hundred miles away from here, right? Well, in Baigu. Is his camp stuck next to a waterfall?"

Victor's eyes suddenly became straight. He stared at Liang Xiao, as if he was watching ghosts and gods. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and nodded repeatedly.

Liang Xiao smiled bitterly, but his face did not change much, as calm as before.

"Lie Jiaomi is blocked by you and can't get out of the valley, and you can't get in, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Victor lit his head like a rattle, his eyes straightened. Before he could speak, Liang Xiao told Ashana's position and guessed the situation of the battle. Could it be that all this was a plan he had formulated?

Liang Xiao didn't think there was anything strange.

It is not difficult to know the location of Ashana. From the time the messenger went back and forth, it can be roughly inferred that Baigu is the one who is most likely to become a battlefield in this range. Even if he failed to decide the outcome for two days, it would definitely be a confrontation. If he was a hunter and in that environment, he would choose Baigu as the battlefield, and Ashana would choose a waterfall as the camp for safety and convenience of water withdrawal.

Such speculation is inseparable from his familiarity with the terrain of the valley, but he will not tell Victor the reason. At this moment, he needs to pretend to be a ghost to boost morale.

As expected, misfortune never comes alone, and blessings come together. Not only did Asha Na not only failed to kill Lie Jiaomi, but was tempted by Lie Jiaomi to attack. Is this guy's position of Dalu? Since he couldn't deal with Lie Jiaomi, then he should retreat quickly. Why did he still stand up? Do you have enough food and grass? Do you have equipment for offensive operations? Are you more familiar with the terrain here than Lie Jiaomi? How could you make such a stupid decision?

"Then Dalu asked you to come, are you trying to ask me what to do?"

"Yes." Victor couldn't hide his admiration. "Da Lu trapped Lie Jiaomi and wanted to ask the general to help. Hearing that the Huns were coming, Da Lu wanted to know the general's arrangements so that he could cooperate with the general's actions."

Liang Xiao nodded and said nothing. He asked about other situations, especially the casualties of both sides. The enemy is large and we are few, and once there are major casualties, it is difficult to have room for recovery. After hearing so much bad news, this time he finally heard some good news.

"Salary? No casualties! I have been chasing the Wusun people and killing them. There are almost no injuries except those who fell from the horse." Victor scratched his head. "However, later Liejiaomi hid in the mountain. We suffered a small loss and dozens of people died. However, when Dalu saw that the situation was not right, he immediately withdrew his troops and prepared to trap Huojiaomi to death."

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and decided to take back his complaints about Ashana.

"Where are the people of Daxia?"

"They." Victor showed some envy, jealousy and hatred. "They are even more fine. They have heavy armor protection, but cannot cut their swords and arrows. Except for the ones who missed their front hooves, there are many."

"Where are their people?"

"It's not far ahead." Cui Liu interrupted, "I saw them on the way here. General Doros originally wanted to come with us, but I was afraid that they would be tired, so I asked them to find a place to live first and wait for the order."

"Well, it's very good." Liang Xiao nodded in appreciation. The heavy armored cavalry fell into single, and Doros was understandable, but he was irrational to come and meet him. Cui Liu's decision to claim was very wise. "Doros said where did he say?"

"The Wild Wolf Gorge in front." Cui Liu was praised by Liang Xiao, a little proud. "He didn't remember that I had seen the map with the general. I remember that there was a Wild Wolf Gorge here that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so I asked them to go there. General, don't worry, if there are more than a thousand people following him, he will definitely find the Wild Wolf Gorge and will not get lost."

Liang Xiao was speechless. These guys could not praise them, they would be swayed as soon as they praised them.

Liang Xiao thought about it and said to Cui Liu and Victor: "You two may have to work hard."

"General, you said."

"Victor, you rush back to the camp and say to Dalu, just trap Lie Jiaomi, don't launch an attack. Be prepared to retreat. As soon as I arrive, you will clear the siege and leave."

"Okay!" Victor had no questions at all, nodded and agreed, then took action himself, grabbed a few half-cooked mice, chewed them a few bites and swallowed them, and then left with a touch of his mouth.

"Xiao Liu, don't be idle either. Go to Wild Wolf Valley to find Doros immediately and ask him to leave early tomorrow morning to meet with Dalu."

"So still to the east?" Cui Liu was a little surprised.

"Yes, keep going east." Liang Xiao said as he thought. "The Arc cavalry is slow, let them go first. Aren't there any sai people following them? Let Doros arrange a few sai people to go back and notify more sai people as much as possible, so that they can be prepared to retreat eastward. Take all the things that can be taken away, and we must let the Huns get nothing except water and grass."

"Strengthen the walls and clear the wilderness." Cui Liu suddenly realized. "I understand, I'll go now."

Liang Xiao stopped Cui Liu. "How are you talking about Serbian?"

"It's okay, it's okay to cheat a girl." Cui Liu said with a smile. The group beside him laughed. Most of them were like Cui Liu, not just those who were self-conservative. When they arrived in Dayuan, they seduced the Dayuan girl, the Yuezhi woman, and when they arrived in the Yili River Valley, they also had many tents that were stuck.

"Okay, as my messenger, go and contact the Sairen and explain my tactical arrangements."

Cui Liu was very happy and quickly bowed to his death. This was a big pie that fell from the sky, which made him dizzy. If this matter was done, he would definitely be promoted. Maybe he could be appointed as a chief lieutenant and officially embark on the official career.

Liang Xiao said to the jealous parties: "Don't be jealous either. When can you be a kind person like Cui Liu, memorize the terrain, and know when to do it, I will let you go solo."

Everyone was overjoyed and their emotions were rising for a moment.

Cui Liu and Victor had a full meal, then changed into a few war horses and left hurriedly.

Liang Xiao pondered again. He thought for a while, called a few guards who usually performed well, briefly explained the situation in front of him, and then said: "Take a test of you, if you were the generals of this war, how would you deal with the Wusun people and the Huns?"

The guards looked at each other, pushing me, I pushing you, and joking for a while, and soon someone stood up. "General, I think this should be done. We retreat east. The east is high and the west is low. The east is high, the better the terrain advantage we have. Then go down and kill them a fall."

Before he finished speaking, another guard stood up. "You talk nonsense. If you want to talk about the terrain suitable for charge, why go east? Here you can. Kill the Huns first and then the Wusun people. Isn't it better to let them meet and then kill them?"

The interrupted personal guard was anxious. "Didn't I drag the Huns for a while according to the general's plan? I've been dragging the Huns for a while for only one day and haven't dragged the Huns to the ground yet. Of course, I have to walk eastward for hundreds of miles."

"Besides, please don't use the general as a shield. The general said he would drag the Huns for a while, but did he say he would go a few hundred miles? We didn't have enough supplies, and we would go a few hundred miles before the Huns collapsed."

"We don't have baggage, but we have stuffed people. You have bird feathers stuffed in your ears. Didn't you hear the general and Cui Liu say that you want to join forces to stuff people?"

Seeing your personal guards say something and I say nothing, she is not humble at all. She really treats herself as a general who commands thousands of troops. Liang Xiao finds it funny and sighs. These young men are so energetic and fearless.

However, who dares to say that they are unreasonable? In these seemingly nonsense analysis, who dares to say that they will not come up with a truly feasible solution.

Unite as one.
