Chapter 365
Close at hand, an arrow pierces the heart.

In the blink of an eye, Liang Xiao shot four arrows.

The Che Division officer had an arrow in his throat, and the armor-piercing arrow pierced his neck, shot out from the back of his neck, and hit the face of the soldier behind him.Seeing the blood splattered from the back of Shangguan's neck, the soldier's eyes widened, he was taken two steps back by the arrow, and fell on his back.

The officer of the car division stood in a daze in the distance, stretched out his left hand, and covered his throat.Blood gushed out along his hands, and the life was gone quickly.First, the saber in his right hand fell to the ground with a clang, then his legs softened, and he fell to his knees, as if surrendering to Liang Xiao.

Immediately afterwards, several exclamations came from the top of the city. Several archers drew their bows, and the archers who were about to shoot were shot and killed by Liang Xiao.

There was chaos in the city, some rushed to the edge of the city wall, hid behind the city wall, drew bows and arrows, and shot at Liang Xiao and others.Some rushed down the city wall, ready to arrest Liang Xiao.The soldiers under the city were even more chaotic.Although they were numerous in number, they were no match for Liang Xiao and the others.Pang Shuo wielded a long knife, and Tu Niu'er held up a shield, and the two charged forward side by side, beating the oncoming Che Shi soldiers back steadily.

Pang Shuo roared again and again, his long knife flew, and chopped a chariot soldier into two pieces, blood spattered, and hot internal organs rolled out, smelling stinky.Frightened by Pang Shuo's ferocity, the rest of the chariot soldiers did not dare to step forward any more, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, but their legs were trembling.

Pang Shuo took a step forward, and they took a step back.

Under the cover of Xi Ya, Liang Xiao raised his bow and arrows, one arrow after another, and the arrows were not in vain. He shot and killed more than ten people in a short time, and the arrows sealed his throat.

There were at least fifty chariot soldiers in Wangcheng, but they couldn't stop Liang Xiao and the others.In a blink of an eye, Liang Xiao came to the city gate. Four or five chariot soldiers huddled in the corner, looking at Liang Xiao in horror.Tu Niu'er and Pang Shuo stood on both sides, and the flames shone from behind Liang Xiao. Che Shi's soldiers couldn't see Liang Xiao's face, only his figure standing with a bow, like seeing a demon descending from the sky, afraid to hear The string of death.

Seizing the opportunity, Linghu and others climbed to the top of the city, killed the soldiers at the top of the city, and opened the gate.

The gate of the royal city burst open, and bright fire light came in, shining on Liang Xiao's face.

Liang Xiao didn't look at those chariot soldiers again, and walked slowly into the royal city.Linghu and others surrounded him, surrounding Liang Xiao in the middle.Che Shi soldiers kept coming around, but they only dared to stand far away, and no one dared to take a step forward.

The gate of the royal city was closed behind Liang Xiao.

"Bison, old horse, guard the gate." Liang Xiao ordered.

"Here." The bison and the old horse at the top of the city responded loudly.

"Let's go to the palace to pay respects to King Che Shi and Queen Che Shi." Liang Xiao said, walking towards the palace.Che Shi and his men glanced at each other, then boldly shouted and rushed forward.

Liang Xiao turned his head to take a look, and the Che Shi soldiers he saw immediately closed their mouths tightly like chickens being strangled by their necks.

Liang Xiao stepped forward, while Che Shishi and his soldiers who stood in front of him retreated step by step.They looked at Liang Xiao and the others who stepped up the steps step by step, sweating profusely, their faces flushed, but they didn't dare to stop them.

The palace was full of noise, screams, cries, merged into one.

In the midst of crying and shouting, someone yelled a few words.The crowd dispersed, and a bloated figure came out, looking at Liang Xiao with a pale face.At this moment, she is gorgeously dressed and graceful, she is no longer the young woman Liang Xiao saw in Wutu Valley.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly: "Moya, we meet again."

Moya was panicked, but insisted on not going back.Behind her stood a few noble ladies who were already in tears, probably the concubines of King Che Shiwang's family Yan or Ji.Their clothes were disheveled, and they seemed to have been awakened from sleep. They were not prepared for the situation in front of them, let alone coped with it. They could only rely on Moya to deal with it.

"what do you want?"

"I'm tired and hungry now, I just want to have a warm meal, then find a place to sleep well, wake up tomorrow, and enjoy the scenery of Jiaohe City."

Moya licked her lips uneasily. "What do you want to let us go?"

"It's very simple, just be obedient." Liang Xiao twisted his mouth. "Moya, I have already experienced your ability to pretend to be stupid. Don't play anymore, otherwise, everyone in the palace will be buried with you."

Moya bit her lip tightly, not daring to say a word.She watched Liang Xiao walk into the palace step by step. Hundreds of chariot soldiers surrounded them, but they didn't dare to fight. The strength of the two sides was not at the same level.Any more tricks would only irritate Liang Xiao and cause him to kill.

At this moment, the sound of killing came from outside the gate of Wangcheng.Moya raised her eyebrows and her eyes flickered.

Liang Xiao didn't take it seriously, pushed everyone away, walked to the throne in the middle, sat down, and crossed his legs.He knew what Moya was thinking.The captives confessed that King Che Shi went out with the Huns, leaving more than 300 people behind. There were 100 people guarding the king's city, five strongholds in the north of the king's city, a total of 50 people, and less than 200 people guarding the south gate.The south gate was the only way to get in and out of Jiaohe City, so of course they had to defend it heavily.

However, he is now sitting on the throne and occupying the heart of the palace. There are buffaloes and old horses guarding the city gate with half of the mercenaries.He is sure to win, so he naturally wants to experience the feeling of cat and mouse.

Without Liang Xiao's instructions, Linghu led the mercenaries to search the rooms, and brought all the family members of King Che Shi, and all the treasures collected by the royal family of Che Shi became their trophies.The mercenaries were carrying bulging bags and all of them were smiling.

After half an hour passed, they returned to Liang Xiao.

Nearly a hundred members of Che Shi's royal family, old and young, all knelt in front of Liang Xiao. The brocade clothes on their bodies and the gold ornaments on their heads had all been taken away by the mercenaries. The soldiers took a lot of advantage.

The battle at the gate of the city was still fierce, but after so long, no one was able to break into the royal city.

Liang Xiao put down his wine glass, and hooked his fingers at a young man kneeling in front of him.The young man's lips were pale and his face was pale.Pang Shuo stepped forward and lifted him up.Liang Xiao pulled his sleeve and wiped the oil from his mouth.

"who are you?"

The boy muttered for a long time, but he didn't utter a complete word.Liang Xiao waved his hand, and Pang Shuo drew out his long knife.Mo Ya was taken aback, and quickly shouted: "Stop, he is the prince of our country."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Take him to the gate of the city, and if Che Shiren still doesn't surrender, kill him."

"Here." Linghu responded, brought two mercenaries, and left after mentioning the young man.

"We surrender, we surrender." Mo Ya repeatedly shouted: "We surrender." The people outside the city have not attacked for so long, and Mo Ya knew that there was no hope, and the only way left was to surrender.

"Let the people outside the door surrender first." Liang Xiao pointed at Mo Ya and sneered: "Be careful, otherwise, no one will be able to keep the child in your stomach."

Moya's face was pale, she didn't dare to tell, and followed Linghu out.With a large number of hostages in hand, Che Shi's officers and soldiers did not dare to resist at all, and put down their weapons honestly, waiting for disposal.Not long after, they came back, followed by two middle-aged generals who had been disarmed and tied up.Linghu moved closer to Liang Xiao's ear and muttered a few words.Liang Xiao smiled, and nodded as he looked at Mo Ya with red and swollen eyes.

"It's your acquaintance."

Liang Xiao immediately ordered that Che Shiwang's family members be detained in the dungeon.Afterwards, King Cheshi's treasury was swept away, and the royal stables were taken as his own, and more than [-] horses and camels were obtained.

The centuries-old wealth accumulated by Che Shi's royal family became Liang Xiao's spoils of war.

After daybreak, Liang Xiao left Jiaohe City with a large amount of belongings and a dozen hostages from the royal family.

This time, he left through the south gate.Che Shi's soldiers had already been locked up by him, and the south gate, which should have been heavily guarded, was empty, only the majestic city gate watched Liang Xiao and his party march away to Pu Leihai.

Before leaving, Liang Xiao lit a fire and burned everything that could not be moved.The flames were raging, illuminating half of the sky and countless pairs of terrified eyes in Jiaohe City.

Che Shiren immediately sent the news to Daban.

Half a day later, the car master Wang Moyu who was on his way received the news that more than a dozen relatives, including the Yan family, Wang Mei and the prince, had been taken away by Liang Xiao, and that the royal family's property and treasures had been taken away by Liang Xiao. When the palace was burnt to ruins, he yelled and fainted.

Mo An and the others were also dumbfounded.

After Mo Yu was rescued, he burst into tears and came to King You Xian, pleading bitterly, asking You Xian King to help him take back his family.For this reason, he would rather give all the property robbed by Liang Xiao to King Youxian.

King Youxian was stunned for a while, then agreed to Che Shiwang's request.

Dongfang Shuo sat aside, sneered and remained silent.King Youxian glanced at him. "What advice does Mr. Dongfang have?"

"Is Your Majesty going to chase after Liang Xiao?"

King Youxian nodded.

"Then let me go." Dongfang Shuo pouted. "I don't want to see you become the second Hunxie King."

King You Xian's face was ugly.He understood what Dongfang Shuo meant.Liang Xiao didn't go back to Dabancheng, but walked eastward, most likely to Puleihai.Liang Xiao has fewer people and more horses. The horses and camels he rides are all fine breeds collected by the royal family of the charioteer. He can spare no effort in horsepower and travel day and night. If he wants to chase, he can’t bring too many people with him. .

Even if he catches up with Liang Xiao, he has no advantage at all. Maybe he will be decapitated by Liang Xiao like the Hunxie King back then.

However, if he gave up the pursuit and proceeded step by step, by the time he arrived at Pulei Sea, Liang Xiao had joined forces with the Pulei people and hid in the mountains, even if he had an advantage in strength, it would be useless.What made him even more troublesome was that if Liang Xiao controlled Pu Leihai, it would be equivalent to closing the east gate of Tianshan Mountain.If he wanted to cross the Tianshan Mountains and return to the grassland, he could only continue eastward.

This way, he would have to travel at least two thousand miles more, and he could only watch the two important passages of Daban and Puleihai fall into Liang Xiao's hands.

Among the countries at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, King Che Shi supported the Huns the most. If the palace of Che Shi was ransacked by Liang Xiao, but he could not vent his anger on King Che Shi, who would dare to support the Huns in the future?

Therefore, King Youxian knew that it was dangerous to do so, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and sent his younger brother Guduhou Xianshanling to lead [-] elite cavalry to chase Liang Xiao together with the chariot master Wang Moyu.
