Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 261 Ambush
While talking, more than a hundred Wusun cavalry came to the front of the slope. The centurion headed by looked at the mountain road, reined in the horses, and pointed with his whip.The two knights jumped off their horses, led the horses, and walked over step by step.The others were waiting at the bottom of the slope, slowly gathering together, looking around, and some even took out their weapons, ready to fight.

Li Shuyun looked at old Andrew, gave him a thumbs up, and gave him a thumbs up.He also passed this place before, but at that time Liang Xiao and Xie Guanglong were seriously injured and unconscious, so he had to pick up a heavy burden and hurried on his way without paying attention to the terrain here.Old Andrew was determined, remembered the terrain, and decided to set up an ambush here, which was undoubtedly the right choice.

Seeing that the Wusun people were getting closer and closer, old Andrew waved his hand and gave an order.

The warriors on both sides of the cliff waved their long swords and cut off the bark rope that tied the boulder. The boulder rolled down the mountain road, making a loud rumbling noise.The people of Wusun were shocked. When they looked up, they saw dust flying above their heads. Several huge black shadows rose from the sky and hit the stone wall next to them. Pieces of broken stones scattered and covered the sky.

Before the Wusun people could figure it out, the boulder rolled down the hillside and hit the Wusun people who were gathered together.The knight Wusun, who had already walked up the hillside, was shocked. He leaned against the stone wall and watched the boulder roll past his eyes.The other turned around and ran, and just two steps away, he was overtaken by a huge boulder, crushed to the ground, screamed, and burst into a cloud of blood, which turned into mud in an instant.

The boulder continued to rush towards the Wusun people without slowing down.

The Wusun knights turned their horses' heads one after another, trying to ride away.But with more than a hundred people gathered together, there is not much space at all.Before they could turn around, the boulder had already rolled in front of them, rolling over them all the way.

In an instant, people shouted and screamed, one after another.

The boulder rolled rumblingly, and kept rolling for more than a hundred steps before slowly stopping, lying in the middle of the mountain road.

Once a few boulders were blocked, the originally narrow mountain road was immediately blocked, leaving only a small gap, let alone a horse, even a person could only squeeze through by leaning sideways.

Fortunately, the Wusun people who were not crushed to death by the boulder were suddenly dumbfounded, and the back of their heads felt cold.

The sound of war drums sounded, battle flags appeared on the stone walls on both sides of the mountain road, and countless helmets were pierced. Soldiers with bows and arrows appeared from behind the boulders.For a moment, arrows were like locusts, and the sound of swishing was endless, and Wusun people fell to the ground one after another.

At the same time, fifty infantrymen wearing Greek-style battle armor appeared on the mountain road. They lined up in a row of four or five, holding shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands, pressing towards the Wusun people step by step.When the drums stopped and the dense arrows above their heads disappeared, they just arrived in front of the Wusun people, raised their spears, and began to kill.

The Wusun people were first attacked by boulders, and then covered by arrow rain. They suffered heavy casualties and lost their fighting spirit.Facing these obviously older veterans, they didn't have much will to fight.Even if they mustered up their courage and drew out their sabers to meet them, they were no match for these high-spirited Greek veterans, and they were stabbed to the ground one after another.

The battle ended quickly, after two drums, there was no Wusun who could stand still.

The Wusun scout who survived was pinned to the ground with his limbs tied behind him.

Li Shuyun and Andrew came down from the hillside, inspected the battlefield, and ordered people to gather up the horses. Even if they were dead, they would not be wasted. These could be used as rations.The leaders of the Wusun people were all cut off and piled on the boulders.

After the interrogation, old Andrew took out a dagger, cut off the Wusun man's ear, and then gave him a horse to let him go.

Lie Jiaomi squinted his eyes, looking at the blood-stained knight with wolf-like eyes.

The Dawan people set up an ambush in the mountains and wiped out more than a hundred forward knights?
"how many people?"

"I can't see clearly, the mountain is full of people, maybe thousands of people." The knight knelt on the ground, trembling.Pain and fear made it impossible for him to control his voice.The boulders rumbling past are amazing, but the warriors covered in iron armor are even more terrifying.Until now, he can still feel the murderous look brought by the strange eyes mixed with fanaticism and coldness.

"With so many people, does Dawan know that I'm coming and has already made preparations?" Lie Jiaomi raised his hand, stroking the beard under his chin, his eyes flickering.

The knight didn't know how to answer.

Lie Jiaomi waved his hand, signaling the knight to go out.He thought for a while, and sent someone to invite Wu Dan.

After listening to Lie Jiaomi's report, Wu Dan was taken aback.If the Dawan people were ready, then the attack on Dawan would not be that simple. "Dawan people even dare to kill your envoy?"

Lie Jiaomi glared at him.Facing the old Hunxie King, he did not dare to be so presumptuous, but facing the new Hunxie King Wu Dan, he was much more confident.

"It must have been a sudden mistake that angered the people of Dawan, and then the people of Dawan decided to fight against me." Lie Jiaomi felt a little regretful.Not only because Tuban is a clever subordinate, but also because of that bow and sword.If these things fell into the hands of Dawan people, it would be a shame to Wusun.

Especially that bow, which was given to him by the Xiongnu Shanyu, and he must not lose it.

What's going on?Fortunately, he was still boastful and full of confidence, but the result was a crushing defeat.Lie Jiaomi was very angry and was in a dilemma.The Dawan people had already arrived at the mountain pass and set up an ambush, so they were naturally ready.How many chances of success are there for continuing to attack Dawan?Is it a strong attack, or a diversion?
What worries Lie Jiaomi even more is that the people of Dawan have always been weak, how come they have become tough this time, and they have done so relentlessly, even killing the envoy.

Who backs them up?Is it Han people, or... Yuezhi people?

Wu Dan doesn't take Lie Jiaomi's worry seriously. "So what if the Yue family is here, and they are looking for them. They came to die, so that we don't have to hurry. You attack here, and I will detour to the north entrance."

Lie Jiaomi reminded: "Since the Dawan people are prepared here, there may be ambushes in other places, so don't be careless."

Wu Dan snorted and dismissed it. "The terrain at the north entrance is flat and there is no such dangerous terrain. Even if the people of Dawan have an ambush, they can't do anything to me. Just wait for my good news and see who gets to Suye City first."

After finishing speaking, before Lie Jiaomi could speak, Wu Dan walked away.

Lie Jiaomi was worried and felt an indescribable uneasiness.He always felt that he was missing something, but he couldn't remember it.It's a bad feeling when things are out of your control.

Mei Cai took out a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, but his eyes were full of smiles.

The first battle was won, and more than a hundred people were beheaded, but there were no casualties on the other side.For Dawan people, this is a rare good news.It can be seen from this that the Wusun people are not so terrible, they were actually defeated by a group of veterans.

"Take it away." Mo Cai waved his hand, motioning for people to take out these heads.He held Li Shuyun's arm, and said affectionately: "General Li, you and Captain Andrew have made meritorious service in this battle. I will report to the king to know and reward you."

Li Shuyun quickly said: "This is the deputy king's command, we are just acting according to the deputy king's deployment."

Mei Cai smiled without saying a word, triumphant.

"Vice King, the people of Wusun may not give up after being frustrated. They will probably take a detour to the North Exit and attack Suye City in a detour, or they may attack the back of the Vice King. Please pay attention to the Vice King."

Mei Cai nodded. "Creon of Suye City has already made preparations. Even if the Wusun people go outside the city, they won't be able to find any advantages. If he comes to attack me and give me a laurel crown, I will not refuse. I have Ten thousand troops, recharge your batteries, just wait for him to come."

Li Shuyun was a little worried.Mei Cai used to be afraid of the enemy, but now he is a little overconfident.It is true to ride ten thousand steps, but he knows the strength of these Dawan soldiers.To put it bluntly, it is not as good as the Greek veterans recruited by old Andrew.If you really want to meet Wusun people, they may not be able to fight and win.

However, these words cannot be said directly in front of Mei Cai.Li Shuyun had no choice but to secretly suggest that Mocai send more scouts, so that Wusun people would not take advantage of the loopholes.

Mei Cai agreed.After seeing off Li Shuyun, he wrote a letter of victory eloquently, reporting his victory to Guishan City.

At the beginning of November, Liang Xiao returned to Guishan City.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, he asked Ajina and Batu to camp on the south bank of the Gasats River first, and then rushed back to Guishan City by himself to contact Wuzhi.

Knowing that the alliance between Liang Xiao and the Yueshi was successful, and the queen of the Yueshi sent five thousand knights to help, they were all relieved.He sent his ministers out of the city to bring Ashina and Batu into the city and hold a banquet for them.

Yuezhi people and Dawan people gathered together, laughing and talking happily.

Just as everyone was drinking happily, Princess Luo Xuli appeared in front of the crowd with several maids, immediately attracting cheers.Many Dawan nobles made a fuss, wanting to watch Luo Xuli dance.Luo Xuli didn't refuse, and came to the banquet generously, twisting her waist, singing and dancing.Her waist was as soft as boneless, but her eyes were more agile, flitting across Liang Xiao's face from time to time, full of affection, without any intention of concealing it.

Seeing this, Batu came to Liang Xiao with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Respectful envoy, Dawan Pearl favors you."

Liang Xiao hurriedly got up to return the salute, and said modestly, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I'm just an ordinary person, so I can't be a princess."

"Really?" The corners of Batu's mouth twitched, and the corners of his eyes smiled, and he glanced at Luo Xuli who was dancing. "Your envoy's heart is like a snow-capped mountain, but this prince's heart is like a spring in the ground. It's really exciting."

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Batu had ulterior motives.The corners of his eyes twitched, and he glanced at Luo Xuli, whose eyes were like the water of Gassattus, who was not far from him, and then looked at the prince next to him with a few traces of obscenity in his eyes, his hands were a little itchy, and there was a feeling The big mouth twitched over, knocking down the impulse of his mouth full of teeth.

Batu didn't feel any danger at all, and still looked at Liang Xiao with a smile on his face.On the other hand, Ah Zena realized something was wrong, put down the wine glass in his hand, and looked over nervously.
