Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 271 Opportunity
Liang Xiao waited in the front hall for quite a while, but Creon didn't show up either.Sigma was annoyed, and asked Liang Xiao several times with his eyes, and wanted to rush in to question Creon.Liang Xiao just smiled and stopped Sigma.

He could tell that Ampas should be Creon's confidant, and he was a rare calm person.He went in and didn't come out for so long, so it wasn't because he was deliberately being contemptuous, but because he wanted to report to Creon in detail what he had seen and heard during the day.

That's exactly what he needs Ampas to do.He put so much thought into it, not only to calm those mercenaries and use them, but also to cheer Creon up.Dawan has been peaceful for more than 30 years, and Creon is just in his fifties, so he probably hasn't experienced any wars.Such dignitaries can easily collapse in front of the Huns.If Creon's legs were weak, no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to defend Suye City.

He needs to give Creon a little confidence.He couldn't tell Creon himself that Ampas was his spokesperson.The longer Ampas stays inside, the greater his chance of success, and Creon will have more confidence in him by then.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Creon and Ampas walked out together with smiles on their faces and firm steps.Seeing Liang Xiao, he hurried two steps, rushed in front of Liang Xiao, held Liang Xiao's hand, and said repeatedly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"I am willing to serve Dawan, and I am willing to serve my lord."

"Come, please sit down." Creon affectionately pulled Liang Xiao to a seat, and ordered someone to arrange a banquet to celebrate Liang Xiao's achievements.Liang Xiao stopped him. "My lord, the Huns may rush to the city at any time, and this is not the time to celebrate. It's not too late to celebrate after the Huns are defeated."

"That's true." Creon didn't insist either. "Then, if there is anything your envoy needs me to do, you may as well speak up."

Liang Xiao looked at Ampas.Ampas nodded.

"Since this is the case, then I will make some suggestions and ask adults to give advice."

Creon laughed, pricked up his ears, and listened intently.

Liang Xiao had never commanded a real battle before, let alone a city defense operation, but he listened to Huan Yuan's advice and explained many key points of the city defense. Before meeting Creon, he and Nie Yi had a detailed understanding of Su Ye. The situation in the city has been fully prepared.At this moment, speaking one by one, it is methodical, and every sentence can be implemented.

Creon nodded frequently, and the two chatted happily.After talking about the matters related to the city defense, Creon readily allocated the [-] gold coins promised at the beginning—equivalent to [-] gold coins to Liang Xiao.Now that he decided to defend the city, he couldn't be stingy. Instead of being robbed by the Huns after the city was broken, it would be better to use it to motivate the mercenaries to fight and defend Suye City from the looting of the Huns.

With these 3000 gold coins, Liang Xiao's hand suddenly became more comfortable.The Han merchants raised more than [-] gold for him, and after paying the mercenaries' deposit, he still had a surplus of [-] gold. With the addition of the [-] gold coins, he now has a full purse and more confidence.

However, he didn't dare to be too careless.The money is not his yet, once the war starts, the gold coins will be spent like running water.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.War is about money.

A day later, Wu Dan rushed to Suye City.Seeing the defenses in Suye City, Wu Dan laughed, pointing at the camp of the Yuezhi people with his whip, and scolded contemptuously: "Cowards, they set up camp like the Han people, don't they even know how to ride horses? "

The Huns laughed, with a relaxed tone and a relaxed expression.In their eyes, the Dawan people in Suye City and the Yuezhi people outside Suye City are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, the only difference is who will be slaughtered first.

Wu Dan is very sure.He was not in a hurry, and while ordering to set up camp, he walked around the city to check the city defenses.He was so confident that he even walked within range, looked up at the top of the city, and his arrogant laughter directly reached the ears of the soldiers of Suye City.

Creon gritted his teeth in anger at Wu Dan's contempt, wishing he could shoot the hateful Wu Dan to death.

Liang Xiao didn't move.He didn't even look at Wu Dan, but stared at the Huns camp in the distance for a long time.

Facing Wu Dan's frivolity, what Creon saw was insult, what he saw was opportunity.

The Huns were very confident. The camp was only two miles away from the city, almost under the eyes of the soldiers of Suye City.According to the habits of the Huns, their big camp did not have a fence, and wherever the tent was placed, there was a fence.

Wu Dan was overconfident, this might be an opportunity to give him a chance to attack head-on while he was not on a firm footing.

"Your envoy, can you shoot him two arrows so that he can see your envoy's miraculous archery skills?" Creon finally couldn't hold back anymore, and made a request to Liang Xiao through Ampas.Liang Xiao smiled slightly and shook his head. "My lord, although Wu Dan is arrogant, he doesn't take any risks. He seems to be within the shooting range, but as long as he sees a bow raised in the city, he will be vigilant. Not only will the arrows I shoot be avoided by him, but he may even caught by him."

"Really?" Creon hesitated.What he wanted was for Liang Xiao to shoot Wu Dan to death, not for Wu Dan to put on a show.

"That's right. Even the arrows shot by the strongest bow will slow down greatly when they are out of range. With the abilities of Wu Dan and the guards around him, it's not difficult to catch the arrows. However, being too crazy is always wrong." Benefits, not to mention that he is a general in the army. Don't worry, my lord, I will show him some color."

Creon was skeptical.Liang Xiao didn't say much, and turned around to go to the camp of the Yuezhi people.

Like Creon, the Yuezhi people were also outraged by the arrogance of the Huns.Batu was furious, his little boy's face was flushed, and he yelled for Ah Chana to fight and teach Wu Dan a lesson.But Ajina didn't say a word, and issued a death order, no one was allowed to leave the camp.

Seeing Liang Xiao, Batu rushed over as if seeing reinforcements, and begged, "Your envoy, please help me vent my anger. Wu Dan is too deceitful."

Liang Xiao looked at Ashina and smiled: "How do you want to vent your anger? Let me shoot him with an arrow?"

"Of course, if you can shoot him, I'll send you two of the most beautiful maikos."

"Let's forget it then." Liang Xiao laughed loudly, and sat across from Ashina. "Dalu, I have an idea, maybe I can blow the arrogance of the Huns."

Ashina nodded calmly.

"Wudan's army went deep and seemed to have the upper hand, but there were many real crises. At this time, he dared to set up the camp so close to the city, which shows that he didn't take us seriously at all."

Ashina nodded.Like Batu, he was also annoyed.However, he knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. He was not Wu Dan's opponent at all. If he played blindly, he would only humiliate himself.What Liang Xiao said was different. He saw the arrogance of the Huns and wanted to seize the opportunity to hit them hard. This was fundamentally different from Batu's simple venting.

"What is Liang Jun going to do?"

"I want to gather a hundred cavalry to attack the camp of the Huns at night and give them a blow."

Azana pondered for a long time. "What do you need me to do?"

"There are [-] or [-] cavalry around me who can take on this position. If Dalu can support me with [-] cavalry, I think it will be enough."

"How sure are you?"

"Don't dare to say too much, [-]% is still there."

"Where do you want to attack?"

"southeast."

"The northwest wind is blowing today, and the attack from the southeast is against the wind." A Shena stared into Liang Xiao's eyes, and said unhurriedly: "If you shoot an arrow against the wind, the range will be affected."

"That's right, I'm going to use the influence of the northwest wind on the range." Liang Xiao smiled. "In this way, it will be more beneficial when we break through the Huns' camp and retreat. As for the Huns before the battle, they will not find us at all."

Ashina smiled. "Okay, I will pick thirty guards for him. They are all elites who have fought with me for many years. I hope they can help Mr. Liang and defeat the prestige of the Huns."

Liang Xiao bowed his hands in thanks. "Besides that, please Dalu be ready to respond."

"Don't worry." Ah She patted Liang Xiao on the shoulder, speaking slowly but firmly. "I will open the camp gate in time to welcome you back."

-

Liang Xiao returned to the city and called everyone to discuss.As soon as they heard that the Huns were going to be attacked at night, everyone immediately became excited and geared up, all of them were inexplicably excited.Since the battle with the Wusun people outside the city of Guishan, they haven't fought for nearly two months. They practice martial arts every day, but they can't fight. It's really exhausting.

Xie Guanglong said impatiently: "My lord, when are you leaving?"

"Leave the city after dark." Liang Xiao said, "Old Xie, go and pick it out. According to your usual training level, pick thirty or forty spears to make a good strong player. Use dark-colored horses as much as possible for mounts, and each person prepares a dark-colored horse." cloth to wrap around the body, and prepare a few pieces of cloth to wrap the horse's hooves."

"My lord, don't worry, I do this often." Xie Guanglong laughed loudly and led Guo Wu out.

Liang Xiao called the eighteen mercenaries again and explained the situation.Although the mercenaries were a little nervous, seeing Liang Xiao going out to fight in person, and everyone around him looked relaxed and even a little excited, they naturally gained a bit of confidence.When Liang Xiao announced that there was another big reward for this battle, they immediately agreed and turned to prepare.

After a full meal, taking advantage of the darkness, Liang Xiao quietly left the west gate of Suye City with a hundred and seven cavalry, and galloped westward.

The Xiongnu scouts found their trail, but did not dare to step forward to intercept them. They just sent people to follow them and reported the news to Wu Dan.

Wu Dan didn't take it seriously, with more than 100 riders, and heading west, there was only one possibility: go to a nearby city for help.Wu Dan knew that the city guards in Dawan Kingdom were limited, and each city only had about a thousand people. For him, it was nothing more than a piece of cake.

"Let them come, it's better if they come, so that I don't have to rush to kill them." Wu Dan said carelessly, raised his glass and drank it down.

Wu Dan didn't take the hundred or so riders seriously, and the scouts naturally didn't take them seriously either. They just patrolled as usual, reminding each other to be careful, and quickly put the hundred or so riders to the back of their minds.

Liang Xiao drove for more than [-] miles, beyond the normal warning range of the Huns, and stopped when he saw no one was chasing him.He turned his horse's head, looked at the knights who were slowly approaching, and laughed silently.

"Everyone, what we are about to do is something that only true brave men dare to do. We only have 1 people, but we are facing more than [-] Huns. This is a battle with a huge difference in numbers, but it is also A hearty fight. I guarantee that most of you will never get a second chance in your lifetime."

Liang Xiao paused, and then said: "Because, it is very difficult for you to meet such a powerful comrade in arms again, and it is even more difficult to meet such a stupid opponent like Wu Dan."
