Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 226
Chao Cuo, the think-tank of Emperor Jing, had a famous article "Speaking of Military Affairs", discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the Han and Huns. and also.

The Huns were good at riding and shooting, and the horses were their legs. Once they dismounted and fought with the Han people with swords and shields, they were obviously at a disadvantage.Even the elite guards around King Hunxie can only parry and have no power to fight back against these Han family rangers who are desperately trying to survive.

After nearly two months of running-in, Pang Shuo and Xie Guanglong have become irreversible. With a knife and a spear, they cooperate tacitly, one close attack, one long stab, basically giving the Huns no chance to resist, and the four Huns were killed. Before the battle, he rushed to the five Huns on the other side.

The three of Liang Xiao climbed up the boulder, condescendingly, and fired fiercely, suppressing the Hun archers down the hillside with all their strength.The Huns shot upwards, their bows were not strong enough, and it was difficult to shoot them, but their arrows could easily shoot down the hillside.The Xiongnu archers were completely passive and beaten. Although they wanted to rush up, they were powerless in the face of the rugged mountain road.

In a blink of an eye, Pang Shuo and Xie Guanglong cooperated to kill all five Huns, cut off their heads, and threw them down the hillside.

Li Shuyun and others all rushed out and searched for the weapons and dry food on the Huns, especially the most scarce arrow branches, and collected as much as possible.Liang Xiao's arrows were about to run out. If a master archer lost his arrows, his martial arts would be crippled, and their group would also lose an important core.

Almost just a few words, the ten Huns who managed to climb up the mountain were all killed, and none of them survived.Ten kuntou were scattered on the hillside, and some of them rolled down the hill and fell in front of the Huns' archers and those Huns who were about to continue attacking.

The Huns were terrified and looked at each other in blank dismay.During the three-day chase, they, who are known for riding and archery, failed to catch Liang Xiao and the others. They already lacked confidence. Now ten companions were decapitated in the blink of an eye. The strength of both sides is obvious. If they are not on the same level, how can they fight?
Wouldn't it be death to rush up again?

Someone raised a head and rushed to King Hunxie.

King Hunxie was so angry that his hands were shaking and his eyes were staring.He looked at the head in front of him, then at Liang Xiao on the hillside, and realized that he had kicked a rock.

Liang Xiao retreated to the hillside, ready to stop him on the spot.The Xiongnu were not good at hand to hand combat, and they were in a disadvantageous position. It was really not easy to take down Liang Xiao.Continuing to attack is tantamount to pushing these elite knights into the pit of fire.

what to do?King Hunxie hesitated for a moment.

When King Hunxie was hesitating, Liang Xiao was not idle either.He gathered all the people in front of him, and while choosing the available arrows from the arrows he picked up, he ordered: "The Huns are not good at fighting on foot. This is our chance. However, the longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for us. We must fight quickly. Therefore, we must show weakness, and let the Huns feel that they can win with these people, and there is no need to wait, so that we have a chance to kill the big fish, King Hunxie, understand?"

"Understood." The crowd responded.

Xie Guanglong was very excited. "My lord, how much is the reward for killing King Hunxie?"

Liang Xiao glanced at him. "If you can kill King Hunxie, no matter who succeeds, everyone will have a share in the reward. But if someone steals the merit and ruins the big event, then don't be humble. Well, there are many rocks on the mountain, find a suitable bumper for yourself. die."

Everyone laughed.Xie Guanglong touched his head embarrassingly, and said repeatedly: "My lord, don't worry, I will never dare this time, absolutely not."

Liang Xiao nodded, picked up an arrow, and praised: "I didn't expect the Huns to have such exquisite arrows."

"My lord, these people are the personal guards of King Hunxie, so of course they use the best arrows." Xie Guanglong enthusiastically picked up an arrow and glanced at it. "If my guess is correct, these should be arrows from the Zesuo Valley. The Zesuo Valley is located in the grazing land of King Hunxie. There is a kind of high-quality wood, which is most suitable for making arrow shafts. There is also a kind of black eagle. Feathers are good for arrow feathers."

Liang Xiao nodded again and again. The shafts of these arrows are hard and straight, the elasticity is good, and the arrow feathers are also very straight and stiff. They are indeed rare arrows.

"When collecting arrows in the future, collect as many arrows as possible." Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Then pay back to the Huns."

Everyone laughed and nodded.

Liang Xiao told them to hurry up, eat more food, drink some water, and replenish their energy.During the meal, Liang Xiao talked about his plan again.The horses were gone, and walking on foot would definitely not escape the pursuit of the Huns. Therefore, not only did King Hunxie have to be killed, but he had to be killed cleanly and quickly, and it was best to snatch their horses away.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to induce King Hunxie to underestimate the enemy and go up the mountain to pursue him.In addition, there is another advantage of luring the Huns to the mountains, which can make full use of the terrain for ambushes and sneak attacks, and obtain the maximum benefits at the minimum cost.This step must be done ingeniously, without showing any traces, and by the time the Huns reacted, it would be too late to regret it.

Everyone listened, nodding repeatedly, you say something, I say something, according to the strategy design decided by Liang Xiao.These people are usually not kind people. Fighting in groups is commonplace. People like Pang Shuo have even done a lot of immoral things. Xie Guanglong and his like can roam the grasslands of the Xiongnu. Naturally, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp to live up to now. They want to cheat Man, that's an idea in the blink of an eye.

It didn't take long, everyone discussed and decided to let Guo Wenbin, who was the weakest but familiar with the terrain, climb up to find the way, and everyone else found a good partner to pair up.This kind of small-scale hand-to-hand combat requires the most cooperation. Finding a playable and trustworthy companion can increase the chance of survival.

When he was ready, Guo Wenbin led the moon, got up and climbed up the mountain.Liang Xiao stood up, jumped onto a big rock, raised Guluhu's head and shook it, just as he was about to shout, a few maggots fell down.Xie Guanglong was standing below, looking up, a few maggots fell into his mouth.

"Damn it! What the hell?" Xie Guanglong cursed, spat out the maggots, and took two more mouthfuls.

"This is meat." Pang Shuo laughed strangely. "Old Xie, don't you always think about eating meat, why are you willing to spit it out?"

"Would you like it? There are more here." Xie Guanglong rolled his eyes, furious.

"Don't! You'd better use it yourself." Pang Shuo immediately closed his mouth wisely and made a cold grimace.

Liang Xiao ignored them, shook Gu Luhu's head, and yelled loudly: "Hey - your son's head is here, do you want it? If not, I'll kick it like a kick -"

As he spoke, Liang Xiao threw up the head, kicked it lightly, and kicked it out.Li Shuyun climbed onto another boulder, stretched out his leg and hooked it, gently caught it, bumped it again, and kicked it back.Liang Xiao didn't have this ability, and his legs were in excruciating pain, so he had no choice but to watch the head roll down.Guo Wu grabbed it, reached out to catch it, and threw it up again.

A few people kicked Guluhu's head, which was so rotten that he couldn't see his face clearly, as a ball, having fun and yelling.

King Hunxie felt his heart and lungs hurt, and ordered the attack regardless.In order to boost morale, he drew his sword and went into battle in person.Except for a few horse guards, eighty or ninety Huns rushed to the hillside.

Liang Xiao and others fought and retreated based on the favorable terrain.

The more you go up the mountain, the more difficult the road is, with jagged rocks and jagged teeth.The Huns were not good at fighting on foot. Walking on this kind of road, there were archers on their heads who kept calling. If King Hunxie hadn't personally supervised the battle, few people would be willing to climb up.

Still, they had a very difficult time.Liang Xiao took advantage of the favorable location and used his range and precision advantages to attack outside the range of the Huns, and targeted the Huns. From time to time, the Huns were injured by arrows, and even killed by him.

The Huns also tried their best to fight back, but firstly, they were on a downhill and their shooting range was limited, and secondly, Liang Xiao was wearing the exquisite iron armor of Guluhu. Even if they were lucky, they would be of no avail if they shot Liang Xiao.The arrows with weakened strength couldn't penetrate the iron armor at all, so Liang Xiao was sent a few arrows instead.

When the two sides were chasing each other, the Huns already knew that Liang Xiao's archery skills were good, but at that time there was a scuffle, and most of the people who were hit by the arrow fell off their horses and died. Not many people had seen Liang Xiao's precise shooting skills with their own eyes. On the mountain road, every time Liang Xiao sang the strings, there would be a scream or muffled sound, and Liang Xiao's archery skills were displayed in front of them without any concealment.

Gradually, the sound of Liang Xiao's bow string became the sound that the Huns feared the most. Every sound of the string would make the Huns shrink back involuntarily.

Despite this, the Huns still surrounded them from different directions, relying on their numerical superiority.

Liang Xiao retreated immediately, before the Huns closed the siege, retreated dozens of steps up the mountain, and once again seized a selected terrain to stop the Huns.Tu Niu'er picked up Guluhu's head with the Han Festival, and followed Liang Xiao closely, as if holding Liang Xiao's battle flag.

Hearing the screams one after another, King Hunxie was in pain.But as soon as he saw his son's head, he couldn't control his anger and kept urging his subordinates to attack.

In addition to being angry, he also discovered a phenomenon. The counterattacks of Liang Xiao and others became weaker and weaker. Except for Liang Xiao's long-range blocking with arrows, there was almost no fierce melee combat.Even if it appeared, it was just a sneak attack, killing one or two people and running away, there was no desire to fight at all.

More importantly, he found that the physical strength of these Han people was seriously weak. They were out of breath when they climbed the mountain, and some of them fell down. If it weren't for the Huns who were also out of breath, maybe they could catch some personal.

This discovery made Hunxie King, who was somewhat hesitant, very excited, relaxed his vigilance, and kept urging his subordinates to move forward.

The two sides entangled for half a day, and when it was dark, Liang Xiao retreated to a mountain ridge, which was already six or seven hundred steps away from the foot of the mountain.After paying the price of 30 people, King Hunxie finally trapped Liang Xiao on the mountain ridge.Behind Liang Xiao was a bare cliff with no place to hide. Liang Xiao's white horse was standing on the edge of the cliff, and there was the faint sound of water.

"Surrender!" King Hunxie panted heavily, and said loudly, "I will leave you with a whole body."
