Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 366

Liang Xiao stopped at a place called Qijiao Mountain.

He has been to Pulei country, and he knows the terrain along the way, Qijiao Mountain is the most suitable place to stop.There are nearly a hundred miles of mountain roads to the east from Qijiao Mountain, and the terrain is not as favorable as Qijiao Mountain.

Linghu disagrees.After attacking Jiaohe City at night and looting Cheshi's palace, they almost didn't sleep all night. What they hope to do most now is to rush to Puleihai, sleep well for a few days, and recover their strength.Stopping halfway and still fighting, it was somewhat reluctant.

Liang Xiao insisted on seeing him.He explained that Jiaohe City was too close to Daban, and Che Shi and his staff worked hard to reach it in one day.If it is considered that Moya arrived in Jiaohe City three days in advance and had already sent the news to Daban, then Che Shiwang might already be on his way back for help.Given the chance that Jiaohe City was attacked, he would definitely chase after him, and there would likely be Huns.

The distance between the two parties is likely to be only one day, or even half a day.

If they only focus on running away, once Che Shi Wang catches up, their strength will not be superior, and they may suffer a big loss.He stayed behind to use the terrain to block, which can block the pursuers and let others go on their way calmly.The property looted from Che Shi's palace was their biggest gain this time, and it was bought by every mercenary with their lives. How could they return it to Che Shi so easily?

Linghu and others thought it was reasonable.Liang Xiao left over fifty remaining mercenaries, including bison, and asked Linghu to lead those mercenaries who were seriously injured, or whose physical strength was overdrawn and could no longer fight, to escort their belongings and rush to Puleihai, where they joined Li Shuyun, Pujia meets and prepares for the response.

Liang Xiao selected the terrain and ordered people to guard it.He got off his horse, went up to the selected high ground, swept away the remaining snow on a huge boulder, covered it with a bearskin snatched from the royal family of Cheshi, sat down, untied his bow and arrow, took out the short knife, and slowly repaired the snow. Take the armor-piercing arrow.

Armor-piercing arrows are his special arrows, and the lame old cloth made fifty of them for him.He used it sparingly, and as long as possible, he would take it back as much as possible after the war was over.Even so, there is only half of him left now, and many of them are damaged and need to be repaired, or the arrow shaft and arrow feathers need to be replaced.

"Master, let me come."

"I'll do it myself." Liang Xiao shook his head and pushed Xi Ya away. "Give me a hot pot of goat's milk. I'll drink some goat's milk after I'm done repairing arrows, so I can sleep well."

Xi Ya glanced at Liang Xiao, but didn't insist anymore.Sigma was in charge of Liang Xiao's bow and arrow maintenance and repair before, and she was indeed not very familiar with it.However, she knew better that among the four sisters, the eldest sister, Alpha, was the most trusted by Liang Xiao because of her stability, and was regarded as a housekeeper by Liang Xiao, while the fourth sister, Sigma, was the most loved by Liang Xiao because of her cuteness and cleverness.Sigma's sacrifice has dealt a heavy blow to Liang Xiao, and no one can replace her in the short term.

With the help of the mercenaries, Xia set up a tent, lit a bonfire, and boiled goat milk.

After Liang Xiao packed up the arrows, he gathered the mercenary guards and mercenary leaders Bison and Feng Lisha together, pointed at the terrain, and assigned tasks.

"There is still more than 200 miles from here to Puleihai. They will have to go for two to three days. We must persist for at least two days. If possible, we will persist until reinforcements come to block the Huns to the south of the Tianshan Mountains so that they cannot There is a way to go."

Bison stroked his shaggy beard. "My lord, we only have 57 people. Can we last until then? If the Huns came together, there would be at least tens of thousands of people. Even if there were only Cheshi people, there would be thousands of them."

"If there are only Cheshi people, it will be easy to handle. However, there is a high probability that the Huns will come after them. We must be prepared to fight the Huns. If the Huns are in a hurry, then those who can reach them in time Limited, at most two to 3000 people. If they are more conservative, they will not come too fast."

"Even if they only have two or three thousand people, they are dozens of times our number."

"So, we have to make good use of the terrain, resist steadily, drain their vigor, drag them into the pit we dug, and then..." Liang Xiao looked around, stretched out his hand, spread five fingers, and slowly closed them. tight. "Catch it in one fell swoop."

Bison and Feng Lisha glanced at each other and laughed. "My lord, we listen to you."

Liang Xiao pointed to the nearby mountains and explained the terrain.

Qijiao Mountain, of course, is incredible. There are seven passes, shaped like antlers, and there is only a tunnel a few steps wide in the middle.Liang Xiao divided the 57 mercenaries into three teams. Bison and Feng Lisha each took charge of one team, one team was in front and the other team was behind, each occupying a tunnel, taking turns blocking and covering each other.He himself led Tu Niuer, Pang Shuo, and mercenary guards, a total of 15 people, as a mobile force, providing reinforcements at any time and providing sniper support.

These tactics are all their usual routines. As soon as Liang Xiao said it, they all understood and nodded in agreement.

"Now, the bison is in the first group, and Feng Lisha is in the second group. The bison should take the time to rest, and Feng Lisha will send people to guard, and the rotation will take place after two hours."

"Here." Bison and Feng Lisha responded, and turned to make arrangements.

Liang Xiao arranged everything, while drinking warm goat's milk, he looked at the map he found from Che Shi's palace.To be honest, the difference between these maps and the maps used by the Han people is not 01:30 points, and even the maps of Wu Gui Nianhua are not as good.However, at this moment, looking at the map is just a way to rest. He wants to use this way to calm down and prepare for the next battle.

He felt two angry eyes.He turned his head and glanced at the dilapidated tent not far away.

The car master Wang Yanshi, the prince and Mo Ya were imprisoned there.

Seeing Liang Xiao turn his head, Che Shi Wang Yan hurriedly pulled his son into the tent.Liang Xiao obviously had no good intentions in leaving them here.Liang Xiao had already looted Che Shi's palace and kidnapped all of Che Shi's royal family, killing a few people is not easy.

The boy also lowered his head uncomfortably, his original anger turned into fear.

Liang Xiao smiled.The prince Che Shi is estimated to be about the same age as him, but he has thin skin and tender flesh, and he hasn't suffered much at first glance.He beckoned, motioning for Prince Cha Shi to come closer.Prince Che Shi was stunned, and hid behind Yan Shi, trembling.

A mercenary walked over, kicked Yan Shi away, reached out and grabbed Prince Che Shi by the sleeve, and dragged him over.Frightened, Yan rushed over, grabbed Prince Che Shi by the hand, and begged bitterly.The mercenary was annoyed, and with a big slap, he turned Yan's head over.When Mo Ya saw her, she quickly supported Yan Shi and said loudly, "What do you want to do?"

The mercenary snorted disdainfully, dragged Prince Che Shi to Liang Xiao, and threw him on the ground.

"What's your name?" Liang Xiao said casually, taking a sip of hot goat milk.

Prince Che Shi was cold and hungry, smelling the rich aroma of milk, he swallowed involuntarily.Hearing the sound of him swallowing, Liang Xiao couldn't help but smile, and motioned for Xi Ya to fill a bowl for him.Xi Ya found a golden bowl, and just about to pour milk, Prince Che shook his head repeatedly and stretched out his hands.Xi Ya was puzzled, and Prince Cha Shi said, "Can... can I... wash the dishes first?"

Shia was furious and threw the bowl on the ground.Prince Che Shi picked it up, ran to the side, found some clean snow, wiped it again and again, and wiped the golden bowl spotless, then walked back again, holding the bowl in both hands, and looked at Liang Xiao beggingly.

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows with disdain.It's all like this, but I'm still poor and particular about a ghost.He lifted the jug and poured some goat milk for Prince Che Shi.The prince Che Shi thanked him repeatedly, took the goat's milk, took small steps, and walked back to the big tent where they lived, shouting happily.

"Grandma, grandma."

Liang Xiao froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and motioned for Xi Ya to carry the milk jug over.Xi Ya wrinkled her nose, a little reluctantly, but she still picked up the milk jug, filled up the golden bowl in Liang Xiao's hand, and then walked over. "Here, this is my master rewarding you."

"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord." Prince Che Shi took the pot and prostrated himself in the snow.

Liang Xiao was very surprised.This kid is a bit interesting, although cowardly, he is a filial son.

After a while, Prince Che Shi came over with the empty milk jug, wiped the milk jug and the golden bowl clean with snow, and returned them to Liang Xiao with both hands.Liang Xiao nodded and motioned him to sit down.

"What is your name?"

"Che Yi." Prince Che Shi put his hands together and said something.

Liang Xiao didn't understand. Judging by his hand gestures, it was a bit like Buddhism, but what he was reciting was not the familiar "Amitabha".Liang Xiao thought of the monastery in the north of Jiaohe City, and asked with some uncertainty: "Do you believe in Buddhism?"

"Your Excellency, do you mean the Buddha?" Che Yi asked cautiously.

Liang Xiao nodded. "Buddha" and "Buddha" are both transliterations. At this time, the title "Buddha" may not exist, so Che Yi will correct it.

"Yes, I believe in the Buddha." Che Yi said: "My mother has been married for many years and has never had a child. Later, I believed in the Buddha, and then I was born. So my nickname is Buddha, and I have believed in the Way of the Buddha since I was a child. Days can be cultivated to a positive result."

"You are the prince, you will be the king of Che Shi in the future, can you still practice?"

"Buddha is also a prince."

Liang Xiao was speechless.Che Yi is right, Sakyamuni is also a prince, and he married a wife and gave birth to a son before he practiced.It seems that the Cheshi prince is really obsessed with Buddhism, and he remembers the story very well.

"Since you believe in Buddha, according to your point of view, who am I? A Bodhisattva or a demon?"

"Bodhisattvas and demons are not clear. When adults kill people, they are demons, and when they give food, they are bodhisattvas."

Liang Xiao couldn't help laughing, he was holding the golden bowl in his hand. "Don't forget, these bowls, jugs, and even the goat's milk inside were all snatched from your Cheshi Palace. Is this considered a Bodhisattva?"

"Whether it's the golden bowl or the golden pot, they are all things outside the body. They are immortal. It used to belong to Che Shi's palace, but now it belongs to the lord. I don't know who it is in the future. What's the difference? The lord gives food, saves A person's life is a Bodhisattva."

Liang Xiao laughed and waved his hand, signaling Che Yi to back down.He has never had a good impression of Buddhism, and he is even less interested in these self-comforting sophistry.If he could really become a Buddha, he would choose the cheapest one—put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.

To put down the butcher's knife, one must first pick up the butcher's knife.
