Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 216 As long as your head
Behind Liang Xiao and the others, there is a hillside that is not too high.Five Huns rode their horses to stand in front of the slope, stretching their bows and pointing at their arrows, with a relaxed expression, obviously thinking that Liang Xiao and the others had nowhere to escape and were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Seeing Liang Xiao look over, the face of the Huns changed slightly.After half a day of chasing, they had already learned Liang Xiao's shooting skills.However, seeing that Liang Xiao didn't raise his bow, they breathed a sigh of relief.Even so, they still raised their vigilance and did not dare to be careless.Two people even rode their horses a little farther away, until a hundred paces away.

"Wen Bin, you lead the camel first, Yanshou and Dingguo are on the left, Guo Wu and Niu Er are on the right, and Du Hu and Lao Xie are behind."

"Here!" Everyone turned around, and Guo Wenbin rode on the back of a camel, led two camels, and ran towards the hillside.Xu Yanshou and Li Dingguo rode horses and guarded the left side, while Guo Wu and Li Shuyun guarded the right side, hiding behind the camels.The camel has thick skin and thick flesh, and has a bundle on its body, which can block the arrows of the Huns.Using camels as human shields, they can shoot arrows with confidence.

Liang Xiao and Li Shuyun rode on horseback, which happened to be about the same height as the hump, so they didn't have to worry about being attacked on both sides. They could safely and boldly deal with the Huns behind them, and provided cover for Xie Guanglong and Pang Shuo.Xie Guanglong was holding an iron spear, and Pang Shuo was holding an iron knife horizontally, facing the Huns, retreating step by step.

Seeing that Liang Xiao and the others were about to go up the hill, the Huns did not stop them too much. They even moved out of the way and watched Liang Xiao and the others retreat to the hillside.Once on the hillside, Liang Xiao immediately asked Guo Wenbin to command three camels to lie down on the ground, forming a camel formation in the shape of a half moon.The others hid behind the camel formation, untied the horse's girth, fed the horse with water, salt, and concentrate, trying to restore some of the horse's strength.

"How is it? Do you feel sore back, backache, and leg cramps?" Liang Xiao glanced at the crowd, half joking and half blaming.As Guo Wenbin said, after Li Shuyun started, these guys couldn't control it.Along the way, as long as they met some pretty Xiongnu women, some people would come forward to strike up a conversation and exchange wine or some gadgets for a night of romance.

Liang Xiao didn't stop him. He knew that these guys were not upright, and the journey was far away. If they didn't have any fun, they would make trouble out of nothing.With these affairs, teasing each other, can reduce the possibility of conflict.As the saying goes, those who have carried guns together and whoring together are good buddies. Let them have common hobbies and help improve cohesion.

However, this also has obvious side effects-it's not the back pain and leg cramps he said, these guys are as strong as mules, which is true-but the delay of the trip.Once they meet a beautiful woman, they will deliberately procrastinate, and the sun is still in the sky, so they want to camp.

It took them a month to pass Zhuoxie Mountain, at least five days later than Guo Wenbin expected.

Everyone looked at each other and laughed loudly.Pang Shuo said loudly: "Who is lying? Who is lying? If you are lying, let's talk about it earlier. Next time you see a beautiful woman, step back and let me do it for you guys. Old Xie, are you right?"

"You are stupid." Xie Guanglong spat and glanced at Guo Wenbin.These people are all dissolute, only Guo Wenbin and Liang Xiao are more conservative.Almost everyone knew that Liang Xiao had a good relationship with Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan, so no one dared to say anything about him, so they aimed their fire at Guo Wenbin.

"Get out!" Guo Wenbin scolded with a smile: "I'm not in vain. I just don't rush like you. In the Western Regions, there are many beautiful women of all kinds. What's the point of these Xiongnu women being dirty? .”

Liang Xiao raised his hand and interrupted their argument. "Since it's true, then cheer up, hurry up to eat, drink water, recharge your batteries, and show them some color when the time comes. If anyone's legs are weak, stand back and don't delay the big event."

"My lord, don't worry. I and Dug are enough." Xie Guanglong patted his chest carelessly.

Liang Xiao glanced at the resting Huns in the distance, snorted, but said nothing.He pushed Tu Niu'er calmly, signaling him to eat something and get ready for an assault.Tu Niu'er nodded, picked up a piece of meat and a jug of wine, and sat aside, chewing slowly.He didn't eat much, he put it down after only a few mouthfuls, and sat aside to adjust his breath and take a nap.

Liang Xiao didn't eat, he stood on the top of the hill and practiced drawing his bow.After drawing the bow for too long, his arms and fingers became numb, which seriously affected the feel of his hands.He wants to use this time to recover.When charging and fighting, life and death are only on the line, and precision is crucial.

The Huns saw Liang Xiao practicing empty-handed from a distance, and couldn't help laughing. Some people rode their horses down the hillside and laughed loudly. Dance, laugh together one by one.

Liang Xiao turned a blind eye.He practiced again and again, until the heat flow around his waist changed from subtle to massive, pouring into his arms, pouring into his fingers, and rising along his arms until he reached his ears, where the ears were slightly warm.

At this time, the Xiongnu nobleman riding a white horse sent a horse, went straight to the bottom of the hillside, roared something, and looked extremely arrogant.

Guo Wenbin heard this and rushed to Liang Xiao's side. "My lord, they want you to surrender. They say that as long as you surrender, your safety can be guaranteed."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, paused for a moment, and continued to practice. "Ask him what conditions he has and who they are."

Guo Wenbin responded, walked out of the camel formation, walked a few steps down the mountain, and shouted loudly in the Hun language.After hearing this, Li Shuyun hurried to Liang Xiao's side. "My lord, you cannot surrender."

"Who said I'm going to surrender?" Liang Xiao glared at him. "Don't you think it's strange? He has already gained the upper hand, and he can completely stalk us, kill us and rob us of property. Why do you want me to surrender?"

Li Shuyun was relieved.He frowned, thought about it, and felt strange. "Could it be that you admire your master's archery skills and want to recruit him?"

Liang Xiao shook his head.He knew that the Huns admired warriors, and they did not kill all the Han Chinese with high martial arts skills, but recruited them as much as possible.In fact, there were quite a few Han people who surrendered to the Huns and were treated kindly, but he didn't think he would be treated like this.These Huns lost dozens of people and came to surrender. There should be other reasons.

After a while, Guo Wenbin came back. "My lord, they are the subordinates of King Hunxie, and they know that your lord is the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and they are going to the Western Regions."

"Damn!" Liang Xiao cursed. "He's really amazing, he even knows this?"

Guo Wenwu pointed to the Han Festival where Liang Xiao was leaning on the side, and smiled. "He said that they saw a Han in Shan Yuting, who was captured at the residence of King Xiutu. Shan Yu treated him very well and married him. If your lord is willing to surrender, they can also give him The same conditions as adults."

Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat.He vaguely guessed who the Han man was, and it was probably Zhang Qian who was envoy to the west.The route of Zhang Qian's mission was to take the Hexi Corridor, and the first thing he had to pass was the territory of King Xiutu.

"Ask who he is? What is that Han man's name and what does he look like?"

Guo Wenbin went again and came back after a while.He told Liang Xiao that this noble Hun was a householder under King Hunxie, and he followed King Hunxie to participate in the Dragon City Conference and saw the Han man.The Han man is called Zhang Qian, he is tall and looks mighty, and there is a Hu man named Tang Yifu beside him.

really.Liang Xiao secretly sighed, Zhang Qian was captured by the Huns just like in history.If there is no accident, he will stay in the Huns for about ten years, and he will not have a chance to escape until the son born to him by the Huns' wife can make soy sauce.

Zhang Qian, you can give birth to your baby with peace of mind, I will complete your historical mission.

"If you want me to surrender, it's fine. Show some sincerity and talk to me yourself." Liang Xiao smiled, and said again: "My request is very high."

Guo Wenbin looked at Liang Xiao in surprise, and said in a low voice, "My lord, you really..."

"Where are you thinking?" Liang Xiao glared at him. "Soldiers are not tired of deceit. This guy is overestimated. He wants to arrest me to meet Shan Yu and compare his merits with King Xiutu. I can make him so proud? I will do my best, maybe I can kill him before the battle."

Guo Wenbin suddenly realized, and turned around quickly.When he was negotiating with the Huns, Liang Xiao gathered everyone together and arranged surprise tactics.

"King Xiutu caught a Han envoy, and King Hunxie wants to catch one too. This is our chance." Liang Xiao looked around, and his eyes fell on the faces of Pang Shuo and Xie Guanglong. "Can you do it?"

Pang Shuo's eyes widened. "Is it possible? Do you need to ask? Of course it can be done. Don't worry, my lord. I will never come back until I cut off the head of that Hun dog."

Xie Guanglong said with a strange smile: "Hey, you must not be able to cut it, I will pick that pig before you."

"You are cooperating, not competing for merit." Liang Xiao lowered his face. "We only have one chance, don't miss it. Do you hear me?"

Pang Shuo nodded repeatedly.Xie Guanglong agreed with his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Liang Xiao repeatedly urged, and then handed over his bow and arrow to Tu Niu'er.He estimated that the Huns would not allow him to negotiate with a bow and arrow.The man just wanted to make meritorious service, but he was not stupid.Being able to be a householder is also a bit clever, otherwise it would be difficult to survive on the grassland.

As Liang Xiao expected, the Huns agreed to negotiate before the battle, but Liang Xiao was not prepared to carry a bow and arrow.Liang Xiao agreed, held the Han Festival, rode on the moon, and led Pang Shuo and Guo Wenbin out of the camel formation.Descending the slope, walking out of a stone's throw, Liang Xiao reined in the moon, and Pang Shuo held an iron knife in front of the horse.

Liang Xiao raised his arm, indicating that he did not bring a bow and arrow.

Seeing this, the Huns also came out with two followers, also without bows and arrows.He rode a white horse and stood in front of Liang Xiao twenty paces away. Others scattered in groups of a hundred paces away, with a relaxed expression, as if the overall situation had been settled.

The nobleman of the Xiongnu yelled a few words, Guo Wenbin translated: "He asked what conditions the Lord has."

Liang Xiao raised the Chinese knot in his hand, shook it lightly, and said with a smile, "I don't want anything, but his head."
