Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 426 Trust
Without much effort, Xie Guanglong captured two Hun scouts and learned Yu Dan's identity.

"Prince Xiongnu?" Liang Xiao was inexplicably excited when he heard it, and his eyes lit up involuntarily.

"That's right, it's much more valuable than Aunt Hulu." Xie Guanglong wiped his mouth happily.From the moment he caught the scout and interrogated the news, he never closed his mouth, winked with a smile, and looked somewhat obscene.

"Hey, old Xie, can you be more reserved?" Liang Xiao laughed before he finished speaking.He also understands how beneficial it would be if he could get rid of the Xiongnu prince, no matter how stingy the emperor is, he should be given the benefit of a thousand households anyway.

Of course, the more practical question is that it might be possible to delay Shan Yu and give Li Guang and Han Anguo a little more time to prepare.Whether it is offense or defense, they need time to adjust.Facing the menacing main force of the Xiongnu, no matter who it is, the pressure will not be small.

Liang Xiao raised his clairvoyance again, observing the Huns in the valley. "Old Xie, take some people to the front and see where is suitable for an ambush."

Xie Guanglong responded excitedly, turned around and left.

Liang Xiao lay on the ground, motionless, until more than 1 Huns passed by before him, and then he quietly withdrew back.

In the middle of the night, scouts reported that the main force of the Huns led by the military minister Shan Yu himself was thirty miles behind Shan Yu.

Liang Xiao pondered for a while, then laughed silently.It seems that the military minister Shan Yu is also a human being, and he cares deeply about his cub.Not only to help the horse, but also to send it off.This is both a good thing and a hassle.The good thing is that if Yu Dan can really be killed, Shan Yu will go crazy in all likelihood.The trouble is that Shan Yu follows too closely and the time window is too small.For thirty miles, it doesn't take half an hour for the cavalry, and they can almost rush to help at any time.

What's more, Yu Dan still has [-] elite cavalry by his side. If he really wants to attack by force, he doesn't know who will attack whom.

Liang Xiao thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of any good way. He wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, so he simply sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and started to practice.

When Liang Xiao opened his eyes again, sunlight came in from the gap in the tent, illuminating the grass three feet in front of the seat, and also illuminating Liang Xiao's eyes.Liang Xiao fell silent, stood up, and walked out of the big tent slowly.

In the valley, the smoke is curling up. The soldiers are cooking breakfast. They gather together in groups of three or four, some move their bodies, some chat and fart. Everything looks so calm and peaceful, without any sense of war. cruel.

With the sound of hasty footsteps, Liang Xiao raised his head and looked at the two scouts who were hurrying up.

"grown ups."

"Where did the information come from?"

"Daze." The scout said concisely. "Forty thousand Huns besieged General Cheng's camp, causing heavy casualties." The scout paused for a moment, and then praised from the bottom of his heart: "General Cheng's camp is like an iron wall, and the Huns were beaten to death. Aries The royal family is completely disabled and has withdrawn from the battlefield."

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.It is good news that Cheng Bushi withstood the attack of the Huns.Not only the Youxian King was held back by him, but even the Xiongnu Shanyu had to consider the way out and dare not be too presumptuous.If he was cut off by Cheng Bushi, his life would be difficult.

However, Cheng Bushi couldn't delay for too long.They came from afar with limited supplies, especially arrows.Without the powerful bows and crossbows, the combat power of the Han army will be greatly reduced, and it is likely to be a massacre by then.

Liang Xiao's heart suddenly moved, and he quickly pulled the scout over and asked, "Are there a large number of cattle and sheep near Daze?"

The scout froze for a moment: "How does your lord know?"

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows.He twisted his mouth and laughed silently.He knew why Shan Yu left 4 people to deal with Fu Cheng's ignorance, instead of sending Youxian King to bypass the process and go straight into the fortress.

He asked Youxian King to be the head of his rear team, responsible for the safety of the luggage.An army of [-] to [-], and more than [-] horses, needed cattle, sheep, food, and grass.The marching speed of cattle and sheep is limited, and it is impossible to keep up with the marching speed of the main force. They can only fall behind and must be guarded.

Of course, Shan Yu knew that the Han army had limited cavalry, so he was not worried about being robbed of food by the Han army.I'm afraid even Cheng Bushi's appearance here was not what he expected.Now Cheng Bushi and his [-] army are like a bone stuck in his throat, he can't go up or down, so he can only divide the army into two, leaving Youxian King to monitor Cheng Bushi.

Cheng Buzhi came from a long way, so isn't King Youxian?His luggage team should also be behind, maybe on the way.

Compared with these laggards, Yu Dan was nothing.

Liang Xiao knew that his meditation in the middle of the night was not wasted, and he finally discovered the weakness of the Huns.

"The whole army is assembled and ready to go."

-

"Boom...boom...boom..." The low sound of war drums echoed over the battlefield.

The Huns stared at their blood-red eyes, and slowly backed away. There were corpses in front of the camp, and the ground was covered with blood.After three consecutive days of fierce fighting, nearly ten thousand Huns fell in a pool of blood. There was no time to clean up the messy corpses, and King Youxian didn't plan to clean them up. Can't sleep.

Rotting corpses may not only cause plague, but also make people feel the threat of death.

King Youxian raised his hand to block the glare of the sun, but his face was as gloomy as a bottomless swamp.He was in a bad mood.Cheng Bushi's tenacity was beyond his imagination.Now he finally understood the sinister intentions of the military minister Shan Yu, which was simply a trap.

The Huns on the right did not have much contact with the Han people. Over the years, most of the attacks launched by the Huns on the right were carried out by King Xiutu, King Baiyang and King Loufan. He is very unfamiliar with how to fight against the Han people, especially attacking the camp of the Han people.

His only experience is Daban Fortress.There, he sent nearly ten thousand people from the Western Regions to Li Danghu's sword.

Now, it was a real Hun warrior who died in front of Cheng Bushi. In three days, nearly ten thousand people fell in a pool of blood. King Aries was almost wiped out and had to withdraw from the battlefield ahead of time.

Compared with the big camp that Cheng didn't know, the Daban Fortress guarded by Li Danghu is hardly worth mentioning.Cheng Bushi's camp was the real impregnable wall, leaving no chance for the Huns at all.Thinking of the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun, King Youxian would think of the desperate wailing of the Huns warriors in his ears.

In front of the Han army's arrow array, the Huns' riding shields were useless at all.You can protect it, but you can't protect it.

As far as the large shield of the Han army was concerned, the Huns' riding bows were not powerful at all. The range of sixty or seventy steps could not threaten the Han army at all, and the cover of the arrow array became useless.The Huns could only charge against the rain of arrows from the Han army, and most of them fell on the way before they touched the Han army barracks.

"Go back to the camp and stop fighting." Youxian King said in a muffled voice, turning his horse's head and announcing a truce.He had already been beaten badly, if he hadn't wanted to protect Shanyu's rear and ensure the supply of food and grass, he would have wished to go back to his pasture.With no hope of victory in sight, a fight without spoils to win, he had no interest at all.

He was put together by Shan Yu.Thinking of this, King Youxian became even more annoyed.Thinking of Yu Dan, he couldn't help sneering to himself.If you tease me, will I not tease you?I have to send a letter to Zuo Xianwang Yi Zhixie, telling him to be more careful, and don't get pushed up by Yu Dan for no reason.

-

In the camp of the Han army, countless soldiers gasped for breath, wishing they could just sit on the ground.

A messenger rushed over, loudly conveying Cheng Bushi's order. "No rest, repair the barracks immediately, and prepare for another battle."

The soldiers had gotten used to Cheng Bushi's style of work and knew that they couldn't rest until the damaged barracks were repaired.

An indescribable depression permeated the camp.

Cheng Bushi sat on the command platform of the Chinese army, not wanting to move.Although he didn't come to the battlefield in person, the continuous days of fighting also put him under tremendous pressure.The time agreed with Li Guang was approaching, but he didn't dare to have any hope.The Xiongnu Shanyu's [-] army has already marched eastward. No matter how good Li Guang is at fighting, it is impossible to defeat the Xiongnu Shanyu and come to support him.

He can only rely on himself now.

Although Liang Xiao is only a hundred miles away, he can't count on it now.In front of [-] or [-] Huns, what is the use of three thousand cavalry?

After all, Liang Xiao is a human being, not a god.

"General, there is not much food left. One meal a day can last three days." Chang Shi Chen Anping walked over quickly and handed over a list. "The biggest problem is the arrow. With the current attack strength, it can last up to two days."

Cheng Bushi took the list, glanced at it, and put it down silently.In fact, he doesn't need to look at the list, he also has an account in his heart, knowing how much money he may have.He didn't march so far normally, and he didn't bring much luggage. It's not easy to support him until now.

There is only one way in front of him. Before he runs out of food and arrows, he takes the initiative to retreat, and there may be a glimmer of life.

Only in this way, Li Guang is in danger, and Liang Xiao is even more dangerous.It is still possible for Li Guang to meet up with Han Anguo, go directly through the stone barrier, and return to the inside of the fortress, but Liang Xiao was blocked by seventy to eighty thousand Huns outside the fortress, and he had to detour for more than a thousand miles to return, his life was hanging by a thread.

what to do?If Liang Xiao died in battle, would the emperor be furious?
Just when Cheng Bushi was in a dilemma, Liang Xiao's messenger rushed to Cheng Bushi's camp and delivered a military report with only two sentences.After reading the military newspaper, Cheng Bushi laughed silently.

"This kid is really smart, is he going to create a miracle again this time?"

Chen Anping took the military newspaper and looked at it, feeling a little worried. "General, the Huns will definitely send heavy troops to guard the baggage of 8 to [-] people. Liang Xiao only has [-] horsemen. Can he succeed?"

Cheng Bushi stroked his beard and cast a sidelong glance at Chen Anping. "If it were someone else, I would be as unconfident as you. But who is he? He is Liang Xiao, the person who once tormented Youxian King. If nothing else, as long as Youxian King knows that he is nearby, he may not even be able to sleep. I can't sleep well."

As he said that, Cheng Buzhi, who was always serious about his words and smiles, laughed, and the sadness between his brows disappeared.

Chen Anping thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing.
