Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 350 Go slowly, don't send

"Alexander, let's go!" Pang Shuo shouted, cut down the last Hun with one knife, turned around and ran away.

"Uncle Tiger, get on the horse." Alexander reached out to grab the reins of an empty saddle horse, grabbed the horse, and brought it to Pang Shuo.Pang Shuo got on his horse, and the two rushed towards the fortress together.

King Youxian was furious, blood rushed to his head, and he shouted: "Chasing and killing them!"

Dozens of personal guards immediately shouted loudly, kicked their horses fiercely, rushed out of the position, and rushed towards Pang Shuo and the two of them.Their task is to protect King Youxian. In order to avoid being shot by the arrows on the city, they are two or three hundred steps away from the city, and there are more than a hundred steps away from the place where they are dueling.When they arrived, Pang Shuo and his horse had already accelerated their speed to the extreme, and they were within the range of the archers in the city.

At the same time, the gate of the fortress opened to welcome Pang Shuo and the others to enter.

The Huns were still a little hesitant at first, but when they saw the gate of the fortress opened, they immediately forgot the danger at the top of the city.They yelled loudly, took off their riding shields from their saddles, protected their heads, and continued to accelerate their charge, intending to capture the city in one fell swoop.

Seeing this scene, Liang Xiao almost laughed out loud.These Huns are really used to being arrogant, and their brains are rusted after long-term use.I have prepared the fortress for so long, if you let you attack it like this, why would I kill myself with a piece of tofu?
Liang Xiao stood up, handed the book and wine to Alpha and Beta, took the bow from Sigma, walked to the city wall, and set an arrow.

Needless to say, seven mercenary archers also came over, raising their bows and nodding their arrows.

Liang Xiao raised his bow and shot a Ming Dy.

Seven mercenary archers opened their bows and shot arrows at the same time, waving their hands continuously, fast and anxious.Within one breath, each person shot at least five arrows.

With a sharp roar, Ming Di flew over the Wengcheng. Under the gaze of countless eyes, followed by a rain of arrows, he shot more than a hundred steps, and an arrow pierced the breastplate of the last Hun knight.

The Hun knight screamed and fell off his horse.

Under the terrified eyes of the Huns, more than [-] arrows shot at their heads, screams one after another, and one after another the Huns knights fell off their horses.Although they were holding shields and wearing iron armor, they were chasing too close. The distance was no more than seventy or eighty steps, and the closest was only fifty or sixty steps. At such a distance, mercenary archers could almost shoot with their eyes closed. hit them.

Since following Liang Xiao, these mercenary archers, who used to be a bit over the top, have new goals, and their lives are guaranteed. They can practice without distraction, and their archery skills have more or less improved.Some people also asked Liang Xiao for some secret formulas. Although their muscles and bones were already formed, they couldn't practice the boy's kung fu like Sigma, but they got rid of some bad habits to some extent, and their strength became more mature.

At this moment, in front of more than a thousand soldiers, none of them wanted to lag behind, and they were more attentive than usual in private competitions.

In just a few breaths of time, the dozens of Huns who chased the city were all shot down in front of the city.

Pang Shuo and Alexander returned to the city safely, the gate of the fortress was closed behind them, and countless smiling faces bloomed in front of them.They were greeted with heroic triumph, and warmest congratulations from every one.

Xie Guanglong strode forward to meet him, punched Pang Shuo's shoulder hard, then patted Alexander's thigh, and said with a big smile, "Good job, I didn't embarrass me."

Everyone laughed.

In the city, there was a constant sound, but it was no longer a salvo.The archers bowed to each other.

"Please!"

"Please, you come first."

"you first."

The Huns had been shot to the ground, and if not dead, they were wounded and unable to move.The Archers have plenty of time to tease them.They shoot one arrow at you, one at the other, and shoot at those Huns who are not well protected or who want to escape the most. Every time the string sounds, the Huns will be injured again, and they will be shot and killed under the city one by one.

The loss is tolerable, but this humiliation is unbearable.King Youxian was furious, and immediately ordered to attack the city.

The generals were shocked and hurriedly dissuaded them.Siege is no joke.Everyone can see the strength of Daban Fortress.To attack Daban, the tricks that the Huns knew were not enough.They themselves knew the difference in strength between the two sides in terms of city attack and defense. They couldn't even attack Suye City, which was guarded by the Dawan people, and wanted to attack Daban, which was guarded by the Han people?

King Youxian was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but there was nothing he could do.He also knew that if he really wanted to attack the city, he might lose face even more.Liang Xiao used this hurtful move of single-handedly before the battle, probably to stimulate him and lure him to attack the city.Instead of losing generals and finding it boring, it is better to retreat under the persuasion of everyone and save a little face.

But this breath is really hard to swallow.He watched Liang Xiao on the city, but he had nothing to do with him. As the supreme leader of the Huns, King Youxian was so depressed that he became angry.

Seeing the Huns retreating, Liang Xiao smiled.He ordered again, and ordered the soldiers at the top of the city to shout in unison to send off the Huns.The soldiers were already very excited, but they were even more happy when they heard such a sinister and spoof order. They raised their voices and competed with each other.

"Walk slowly—"

"Don't send—"

Hearing such a warm farewell sound, King You Xian was dizzy and almost fell off his horse.

Mo Yu and Mo An, who were ordered to stay, looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

-

The Huns retreated resentfully, and there was joy in the fortress.

Liang Xiao ordered to reward Pang Shuo, Alexander and the seven mercenary archers, and arranged some wine and meat.During the war, no one was allowed to drink alcohol. Hearing that the Huns appeared in the north of the mountain, Liang Xiao forbade the soldiers to drink alcohol.Making an exception today, it was just a drink or two to let them get over their alcoholism.

You can't drink wine casually, but you can keep yourself full with meat. This is also a rare thing.Liang Xiao has made preparations for a long-term persistence. The daily consumption is carefully calculated. Soldiers must ensure their physical strength, and their food should not be treated badly. Handymen, women, and half-children will receive a [-]% discount on food. Half-year-old girls, the elderly, and children under the age of seven Another [-]% off.

This is not because Liang Xiao is inhumane, discriminates against women, abuses the old and the weak, but a common practice.Compared with the Huns, this is already considered kind.If the Huns were short of food, the elderly would have nothing to eat, and they might be eaten.

On the battlefield, there is no tolerance for a woman's benevolence.

When the whole city celebrated, Liang Xiao did not participate.He hid in the study alone, closed his eyes and meditated.

Before that, he had received a letter from Dongfang Shuo, but he never replied.Of course he has considered the concerns mentioned in Dongfang Shuo's letter.Sticking to Daban is by no means a whim, but a decision made after many trade-offs.However, he still attached great importance to Dongfang Shuo's opinion.

On the one hand, Dongfang Shuo is currently the only think tank he can rely on.

It is no problem for Li Danghu and others to march and fight, but it is a bit difficult for them to consider the overall strategy.To put it more harshly, even Li Guang, who is famous as a famous general, is not much better than ordinary people in terms of strategy, let alone these Langguans.Li Danghu has been an official by the emperor's side for several years and has some experience, but these experiences have not made him perform better.

He can stand alone and lead the army to fight, but currently he does not have the overall thinking.

If you listen to one side, you will be dark, and if you listen to both, you will be bright. Liang Xiao must pay attention to Dongfang Shuo's opinion.Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to spend so much effort fooling Dongfang Shuo into the Western Regions.Dongfang Shuo didn't even have to be an official, but came to the Western Regions all the way, why?Nothing else but trust and respect.If he didn't respect Dongfang Shuo's opinion, Dongfang Shuo might leave at any time.

On the other hand, this decision is indeed very risky, and until this moment, he has no certainty of winning.In order to be successful, it needs the cooperation of many aspects, among which Qiuci and Wusun are two indispensable forces.On this issue, it depends on Dongfang Shuo's understanding and cooperation.Only in this way can he go all out to combine vertically and horizontally.

The fierce battle between the two sides not only competes with the strength of both sides, but also competes with the minds of the generals of both sides.Today's pre-battle challenge is his deliberate decision, he wants to use this opportunity to test the character of King Youxian.

Now that he has preliminary results, he wants to give this knowledge to Dongfang Shuo so that he can prepare.

Liang Xiao picked up the pen and began to write a letter to Dongfang Shuo.

-

Full of resentment, King You Xian hurried southward, and five days later, he arrived at Weixu City.

King Weixu came out of the city to greet him with all the ceremonies. Not only did King Youxian send him the cattle, sheep and grain, but he also sent a lot of finances and several beautiful women.Before King Youxian could accuse him, he began to cry.When Liang Xiao attacked Daban, he indeed sent someone to assist him, but he didn't do it voluntarily, he was forced to do so.Liang Xiao himself was not weak, and with the help of Qiuci people, Wei Xu was not an opponent at all, so he could only bow his head and obey orders.

Facing the groveling King Weixu, King Youxian couldn't say anything.What King Weixu said is true. There are only 5000 households in Weixu and [-] people. It is said that there are [-] soldiers, but the combat power is average. Facing Liang Xiao and the people of Qiuci, he has no better choice than admitting cowardice .

King Youxian accepted King Weixu's dedication, stopped for two days, and rushed to Yuli again.

King Yuli's behavior was exactly the same as that of King Weixu, only more sad, like a bullied child seeing his own father.He scolded the King of Kucha, if it wasn't for the thousand cavalry sent by the King of Kucha, he would have planned to fight Liang Xiao.The last time Liang Xiao passed Yuli, he didn't even let Liang Xiao enter the city.But with the help of Qiucha people, he was really no match, so he had to bow his head and obey.

Several little kings successively shifted the responsibility to Qiuci, and King Youxian couldn't hold back.He sent envoys to Kucha, ordered the king of Kucha to plead guilty, and extorted a huge amount of cattle, sheep and property.One of the reasons for venting anger for the countries and punishing Qiuci is of course, the main purpose is to need these materials to support his army.Small countries like Weixu and Yuli have limited strength, even if they spend all their wealth, they can't last long.

After seeing the fortress of Daban, King Youxian realized that besieging Daban might be more difficult than he imagined.If you can't raise enough supplies and rush to besiege the city, the final result is likely to be nothing like Yecheng, and you will return disappointed.

He could be frustrated in Suye City, but he couldn't be frustrated in Daban.If Daban could not be captured and Liang Xiao captured, who would take the Huns seriously in the future?After losing control of the south of the Tianshan Mountains, how could the Great Chanyu let him go.

He must succeed in this battle.
