Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 265
Creon was angry.

The city guards of Dawan are similar to the prefects and county magistrates of the Han Dynasty, but their power is much greater, which is equivalent to that of a prince.Even though Liang Xiao was the envoy of the Great Han Dynasty, and now he is highly valued by the King of Dawan, but in front of him, the city guard of Suye, he could not be so presumptuous.

Let me see you?You have mistaken the identity of guest and host.

Creon ignored the people sent by Nie Yi, didn't say to go, didn't say no to go, just left him there, doing what he should do.He took care of the guards at the door, and if Liang Xiao or Nie Yi asked to see him, he blocked them from the outside and said I was busy.No time to see them.

Creon was sitting in his city guard's mansion, thinking about how to give Liang Xiao a blow and let him recognize the situation.At this moment, the general guarding the city gate came to report that there were countless shaved-haired cavalry outside the city, and it looked like there were at least four or five thousand cavalry.

Creon was taken aback and almost sat down on the ground.

"Huns?"

The person who reported was sweating coldly, nodding and shaking his head again and again.Creon was in a hurry, he kicked the man somersault. "Is it or is it not? You nod and shake your head. What do you mean?"

The man rolled over and fell to his knees, crying. "Your Excellency, it does look like the Huns, but I don't know if they are. They... they seem to come from the west."

Creon rolled his eyes and thought of Liang Xiao.Liang Xiao also came from the west, he should have seen these barbarians.Could it be that he came here to report the news, or...he brought these barbarians?
Thinking that Liang Xiao might have four or five thousand barbarian cavalry, Creon didn't dare to put on airs anymore.I know my own family background, there are only a thousand soldiers in Suye City, facing four or five thousand barbarian cavalry, there is no advantage at all.

Creon quickly took his followers and rushed to Nie's house.As soon as they met, he took a look at Liang Xiao's face.Seeing Liang Xiao's serious face, an ominous feeling flashed across his heart.

"Your envoy is coming from Guishan City?"

Liang Xiao felt that Creon's expression was not right, and there seemed to be some fear in his politeness.He thought for a while, then suddenly remembered the Yueshi cavalry outside the city, and said hastily, "Did your lord see the cavalry outside the city?"

Creon nodded embarrassingly. "I heard that these cavalry came from the west. Your envoy...have you encountered them before?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "Of course I did. They are the Yuezhi cavalry I brought."

"Huh?" Creon's face suddenly changed.He stood up abruptly, took two steps back, motioned for the guards to come forward to protect him, and then sternly shouted: "Your envoy, what do you mean?"

With a "crash", dozens of soldiers stepped forward, surrounding Liang Xiao and Nie Yi.When Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo saw each other, they immediately drew their sabers and prepared to fight.The four of Alpha formed a circle around Liang Xiao, and Sigma, Beta, and Xia cooperated to string the black bow and were ready to hand it to Liang Xiao at any time.Seeing that the situation was not right, Nie Yi's guards also surrounded him, surrounding Creon and the guards in the center.

For a while, the atmosphere was tense, as if facing an enemy.

Liang Xiao and Nie Yi looked at each other, wondering what illness Creon had.After a while, Nie Yi suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "My lord, you misunderstood. Now that Dawan is in an alliance with the Yuezhi, these Yuezhi cavalry are here to help Dawan fight against the Wusun people."

"What?" Creon was a little dizzy.Nie Yi said it again before Creon heard clearly.He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a long breath, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I thought... ashamed, ashamed."

Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.What kind of Dawan official is this? After all, he is also a member of one party, so why is he so restless.

"My lord, although the Huns haven't come yet, they are coming soon." Liang Xiao asked Li Shuyun to explain the situation at the mountain pass.He had confessed to Li Shuyun in advance that he could not say that Mei Cai was defeated, but that he had encountered some setbacks temporarily.Ordinary soldiers know that it doesn't matter if Mocai loses the battle, they basically have no channel to speak out, but these city guards are nobles, let them know that Mocai will be in trouble if he loses the battle.

Knowing that there are Yuezhi people outside the city, and that they are allies and not enemies, Creon's heart just fell back into his chest, but when he heard that the Huns were coming, Creon suddenly felt dizzy and stared at him.To him, the Yuezhi people were of course terrifying, but the Huns were ten times more terrifying than the Yuezhi people.The reason is simple, the Yuezhi fled to the west of Congling only after being defeated by the Huns.

Liang Xiao was speechless.Such a person can actually be the city guard of Suye, there is really no one in Dawan Kingdom.However, when you think about Wu Que and Wei Cai, you really can't ask too much of this Creon.

Liang Xiao was patient, and waited until Creon had fainted before he said: "My lord, although there are many Huns, they are not good at attacking the city. Now that it is winter, the Huns have nothing to plunder, so they must be in a difficult situation. Now Vice King Ma Cai is still occupying the city. Shankou, if the Huns want to go back, they have to go a long way. Once they encounter heavy snow, they will definitely be severely injured. At that time, the lord and the deputy king will have made great achievements."

Creon's eyes flickered, hesitating.According to his personal meaning, he did not have the confidence to fight the Huns.But what Liang Xiao said made sense.As long as you defend the city, you will have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.What's more, as the city guard of Suye, he has had contact with many businessmen, and he has also heard about the brutality of the Huns.He didn't want Suye City to be looted by the Huns.

He looked at Liang Xiao, saw that Liang Xiao was full of confidence, thought about his deeds, and thought about the five thousand Yue clan cavalry outside the city, gritted his teeth, and cupped his hands at Liang Xiao and Nie Yi. "Just rely on your envoy, and ask your envoy for more assistance."

Liang Xiao bowed his hand in return.

Under Liang Xiao's suggestion, Kerry mobilized urgently, strengthened the defense, and allocated some supplies to the Yuezhi people.Creon dared not let the Yuezhi people enter the city.In his eyes, there is no difference between the Yuezhi people and the Huns, they are all barbarians.Seeing the prosperity of Suye City, it is inevitable that there will be malice.Besides, cavalry, it is better to be outside the city.

Liang Xiao didn't force himself.He was also worried that the Yuezhi people would not be able to control themselves.If the Huns didn't come, but the Yuezhi robbed Suye City, they would be shooting themselves in the foot.

After discussing the city defense, Liang Xiao left the city with the food and supplies delivered by Creon, and returned to the camp where the Yuezhi people had already set up.The people of Dawan are not good at riding and shooting, but they are good at defending the city. As long as they don't give up, it is estimated that the Huns will not be able to attack the city.On the contrary, the Yuezhi people's fear of the Huns should not be underestimated, and they must be handled with care.

Liang Xiao suggested that Ashena abandon the more casual habit of setting up camps of nomadic peoples, and set up camps between Suye City and Suye Water in the way of the Han people, and cut down trees for camp fences.With the city and Suye Water, their project volume is much smaller. More importantly, they can support Suye City inside and outside, and they can retreat into Suye City when necessary.

Ajina accepted Liang Xiao's suggestion.He also knew that the Yuezhi people were psychologically disadvantaged when facing the Huns.The protection of the barracks can increase the sense of security and prevent the soldiers from being too nervous and chaotic.

Both inside and outside of Suye City were busy, everyone was engaged in intense preparations, and no one wanted to be the ghost of the Huns.

To Liang Xiao's surprise, the Huns who moved quickly and came and went like the wind came late this time.Five days later, the scouts sent the news that the Huns were still three hundred miles away.

Liang Xiao was very puzzled, and Ashena was also very puzzled.It is more than 1000 miles from Shankou to Suye City. At the speed of the Huns, it must take five or six days.How come there are still more than 300 miles after walking for seven or eight days?
The two thought for a long time, and Liang Xiao suddenly realized a problem.

"Wudan couldn't have brought the captured Dawan infantry, ready to attack the city?"

Upon hearing this, Ah She felt that it was very possible.The weather was getting colder and colder, but Wudan gave up the speed advantage of the Huns. There was only one possibility: he planned to spend the winter in Dawan.Suye City is an important town on the grassland commercial road, and also an important city on the eastern border of Dawan Kingdom. The capture of Suye City will provide enough supplies for Wudan to survive this winter.With the beginning of spring tomorrow, he can continue to march westward.

Guessing this possibility, Ashina was even more nervous than Liang Xiao.This shows that Wu Dan really intended to occupy Dawan. Once the Huns occupied Dawan, it would be extremely detrimental to the Yuezhi.

"How to do?"

"Don't worry, Dalu. Even with the help of Dawan infantry, he won't be able to conquer Suye City so easily." Liang Xiao comforted, "Siege is not a field battle, it will take a lot of time. I don't think God will give Wu Single time. Maybe this is a great opportunity for us to severely damage Wudan. The Hunxie royal family has been seriously injured due to internal strife, if you suffer another setback, then you will have a chance to return to your old place."

Ashina nodded repeatedly.He very much agreed with Liang Xiao's opinion.Although Liang Xiao's specific tactical arrangements are still very rough, his overall view is very good.From the battle of Suye City to the future of the entire Western Region, even Ashina may not be able to think so much.

The two have discussed it.In order to prevent the Huns from attacking Suye City and attacking other cities, Ashina urgently sent people to take Batu into the army.At this moment, protecting Batu is more important than helping the Dawan people.

Wu Dan was in a good mood drinking fine wine and hugging the beauty.

He felt more and more that Dawan was a good place, with good wine, beautiful women, good at singing and dancing, and had a different taste compared with Hun women, just as attractive as their singing and dancing.

No wonder the Han people traveled thousands of miles to form an alliance with Dawan.What a great place.How could Lie Jiaomi, an idiot, put Dawan's fat in his hands and insist on fighting to the death with the Yuezhi people?

Thinking of Lie Jiaomi who was still trapped in the mountains, Wu Dan couldn't help laughing.

He is a hunting dog of the Huns, so he has no autonomy.How can he decide whether to fight Yuezhi or Dawan.Even if they were defeated, wouldn't it be the Huns who gained the most?A hunting dog can only share a piece of meat at most, and the biggest prey is still the owner's.

Wu Dan has received the news that there are 1000 Yue clan cavalry outside Suye City, and Suye City is strengthening the walls and clearing the fields to strengthen the city defense.But these did not make Wu Dan nervous, but made him more confident.What are the Yuezhi people? In front of the Huns, they can only run away.What's the use of strengthening the city defense? Suye City only has more than 5000 guards, and he captured more than [-] infantry. Even if five fight one, he can take Suye City.

Anyway, those who died were all from Dawan, so he didn't feel bad at all.The more Dawan infantry died in battle, the lighter his burden.

Take Suye City, spend a comfortable winter in Suye City, recharge your batteries, and take down the entire Dawan next year.

Wu Dan opened his arms and stretched himself, excited about his grand blueprint.

"Liang Xiao, you have really helped me a lot. When I catch you, I will make you king. Well, what kind of king should I make? You are the messenger sent by God to help me, so let's call you the king of heaven." .”
