Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 270 Three Days of Farewell
After completing the grouping of the mercenaries, Liang Xiao called the seven mercenary leaders together.

Besides Bison and Linghu, there are also Tiehu, Fire Meteor, Snow Eagle, Lao Ma and Feng Lisha.Each of them is the leader of a mercenary regiment, and their subordinates are basically selected. They can be regarded as the top figures in the mercenary interface of Suye City.

"You are all real warriors, and you should all have the experience of fighting the Huns. However, I want to remind you again that what we are about to face are not ordinary Huns, but tens of thousands of Huns. More importantly, , this time we have no way out, we must either defend Suye City and kill the Huns, or the city will be destroyed."

The mercenary leaders looked at each other with timidity in their eyes.Liang Xiao didn't speak, just looked at them quietly.

"Hmm." Ampas was a little uneasy, for fear that Liang Xiao's words would scare away the mercenaries who had been selected so easily.Suye City has no other reinforcements to look forward to, and these hundreds of mercenaries are the last hope.

"Please rest assured, as long as the city is successfully defended and Suye City survives this crisis, the city guard will definitely be grateful. The young hero standing in front of you is from a big man. He came all the way, led by King Hunxie and his son. Four or five thousand riders chased him down, but he chopped off his head in the end. With his help, we will surely succeed."

The mercenaries smiled, but not naturally.They had all heard about Liang Xiao's record, but as Liang Xiao himself said, the current situation is more dangerous than the one at that time.On the grassland, they could escape, but the Huns' numerical advantage could not be brought into play.Here, they have to face more than ten times the Huns and fight hard to the end.

Liang Xiao grinned: "To tell you the truth, the siege of Wudan probably came to seek revenge from me to a large extent."

None of the mercenaries cheered, and their faces became more serious.

"So, anyone who doesn't want to take risks can quit now. The Huns are still a day away. As long as you run fast enough and are lucky enough, and don't get caught by the Huns' scouts, you still have a chance to escape."

Ampas became anxious and gave Liang Xiao winks one after another.What do you mean, do you have to scare these mercenaries away?Although mercenaries exchange their lives for money, they are not reckless, and they will not accept business that is too risky.

The mercenaries looked at each other, and finally focused on Linghu.Among the seven of them, Linghu's martial arts skills were the worst. Even in the second challenge, he barely passed Shia's assessment.However, he was the smartest person among the mercenaries, and it was undoubtedly the most appropriate for him to appear to negotiate with Liang Xiao.

"My lord, since the Huns are so dangerous, why do you still want to defend the city?"

"What do you think?"

"I think, my lord has already made a plan and is sure to defend Suye City."

Liang Xiao frowned, noncommittal. "In that case, why should I call you here?"

Linghu said calmly: "My lord summoned us, I'm afraid one is to strengthen the defense of the city, and the other is to prevent people from colluding with the Huns internally and externally to plot Suye City."

"Hahaha... As expected of Linghu, you are really smart." Liang Xiao raised his thumb and praised, "That's right, I have full confidence in defending Suye City. The purpose of calling you is exactly as you said. However, I have another consideration."

"What consideration?"

"The Huns captured a lot of Dawan infantry. They are going to force these infantry to attack the city. Considering that the soldiers of Suye City may be frightened by the cruelty and barbarism of the Huns, they will be confused. I need some real The warriors counterattacked at critical moments, blocked the Huns, and stabilized the morale of the army."

Linghu and the others looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, we will be from Suye City..." Liang Xiao thought for a while and used a Greek allusion. "...The Pillar of Hercules is charged with the arduous task of stopping the demon, the Huns."

"My lord knows Hercules?" Buffalo was surprised.So far, Liang Xiao has been speaking Chinese, and a Greek place name suddenly appeared, which surprised Bison and others.

Liang Xiao smiled. "Don't forget, there are four Amazon female warriors beside me."

Linghu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, his crotch felt cold.Being picked up by Shia with a spear, his notoriety is probably hard to clear.

"Okay, since you are very clear about your mission, then I will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, so that you can know clearly."

As Liang Xiao said, he spread out the city defense map and explained the possible situation of this battle.The Huns are powerful, but they are not good at attacking cities.With the current strength of Suye City, as long as people's hearts are not disturbed, the Huns have little chance at all.More importantly, the weather was getting colder and the Huns had limited time.Once heavy snow falls, they will face the natural enemy of severe cold, and they will collapse without fighting.

After listening to Liang Xiao's explanation, the mercenaries were relieved and full of confidence.

In the end, Liang Xiao made three agreements with them: no internal fighting, obey orders, and not disturb the people.If something like yesterday happened again, there would be no mercy.

"Use all your skills to deal with the Huns. If you have any grievances, put them aside for the time being, and wait until the Huns are defeated."

The mercenaries suddenly agreed.

After arranging the mercenaries, Liang Xiao and Ampas rushed to the city guard's mansion together to report the relevant situation to the city guard Creon.

In just one day, Ampas' attitude towards Liang Xiao changed significantly.Although he still didn't talk much, there was a smile on his face.He and Liang Xiao walked side by side, and there were many praises in their words.

"Your envoy, how do you know these mercenaries will stay? What if they are scared away?"

"If you can be the leader of a mercenary group, how can you be a coward? Even if they are worried, they won't leave immediately." Liang Xiao explained: "Take this opportunity to see their character, and when It’s time to make targeted scheduling, so as not to employ improper personnel and miss major events.”

Ampas nodded repeatedly. "Usually I only know that these mercenaries are good at martial arts, but I didn't really pay attention. This time you judged them with my own eyes. I am really ashamed. There are more than 1000 and [-] soldiers in Suye City. According to this standard test, I am afraid that they can pass the third class. Not many."

"We have a sage who once said a word: We are born in sorrow, and die in peace. Suye City is rich and stable, and it is a good place to live. But it is too stable, and it is inevitable that we will forget the dangers around us. Nowadays, Wusun people Fuxing, Suye City, as an important town in the east, should have some sense of crisis. This attack by the Huns is just the beginning, and it is by no means the end."

Ampas sighed, worried.

When they came to the city guard's mansion, Ampas asked Liang Xiao to sit down for a while, and rushed to the inner courtyard by himself to report the situation to Creon.

Creon was sitting on a chair, resting his forehead on one hand, looking worried at the city defense map in front of him.He had just received news that the Huns were still a day away from Suye City, and they would arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest.It has been confirmed that Dawan's soldiers were bound in their ribs, and people in Suye City are panicked, and rumors are everywhere.

Creon doubted whether he could hold Suye City, maybe surrendering is a good idea, although financial loss is inevitable, at least he can save his life.It's just that I don't know how big Wu Dan's appetite is. If he really wants to spend the winter in Suye City, what should he do?
Seeing Ampas walk in, Creon quickly sat up straight. "How about it?"

"My lord, the Han envoy is really the God of Light sent by Zeus, and he is the blessing of Suye City."

Creon looked at Ampas suspiciously. "Ampas, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Ampas did not make any distinctions, and told Creon exactly what he saw.He was always by Liang Xiao's side, and he saw all the process of Liang Xiao subduing these mercenaries, without missing a single bit.When Creon heard the Amazon, he interrupted Ampas suddenly.

"Those four young maids are Amazons?"

"Yes, yes." Ampas said repeatedly: "Although they don't look like warriors at all, they are very skilled and they are real warriors."

Creon stood up, stroked his beard, and pondered for a long time. "Do you know where there is such an Amazon female warrior in Dawan?"

Ampas shook his head.Before that, he had never seen a real Amazon female warrior.

"The Amazon family left the homeland of Asia Minor hundreds of years ago and wandered in all directions. As far as I know, there is only one place in Dawan where there are Amazon female warriors: the palace." Creon turned his head and stared at Ampas. "That's Princess Luo Xuli's dowry."

Ampas was stunned. "My lord, do you mean to say..."

"This Han envoy is really a good trick." Creon smiled, feeling a little fortunate in his heart. "He was able to win the heart of Princess Mingzhu. No wonder he can do so many great things. You are right. It is indeed my luck in Suye City that he came to Suye City. But why do you say he is Apollo? "

"My lord, apart from Apollo, the God of Light, who else can possess this kind of archery skills?"

"Such good archery skills!" Creon was taken aback. "His progress is too fast. A few months ago, when he first arrived in Suye City, he was not so good."

"Yes, yes." Ampas smiled from ear to ear. "I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."

Creon stared at Ampas again and again, his waist straightened involuntarily.

"Come on, let's go see him."

"My lord, don't worry." Ampas grabbed Creon. "Listen to me. Just now I only talked about his bravery, not his scheming. After hearing about his methods of dealing with those mercenaries, Your Excellency will be even happier."

Creon looked at Ampas suspiciously, and couldn't help laughing: "Ampas, you have never praised anyone so much before."

"Yes, my lord, that's because I have never met such a person." Ampas said earnestly: "My lord, please listen to me at ease, and then you will know why I praised him like this .My lord, if you want to defend Suye City, you should put aside your status and listen to his advice more."

Creon raised his eyebrows and sat down.

"Okay, tell me in detail."
