Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 427
Liang Xiao walked day and night along the southern foot of the Yin Mountain, and it took him three full days to bypass King Youxian's camp and appear behind the Huns.

He is lucky.The Huns still followed the previous habits, and the scouts had a range of [-] miles.

It is not surprising that the Huns have this habit. For the Han army, which is dominated by infantry, thirty miles is the normal distance for a day's march.Even if it is a rapid march at full speed, it takes an hour for thirty miles. The Huns have enough time to react, and they can even use the opportunity of the scattered formation of the infantry during the rapid march to counterattack.Both Han and Huns understand this truth, so when the two sides approach, this warning distance is safe enough for the Huns.

Recently, the distance between Liang Xiao and the Huns was less than a few miles, and they almost passed by. However, if the Huns were more vigilant, there was a high probability that they would find him. After all, 3000 people are not dozens of people. Horseshoes are enough to leave undisguised marks on the ground, and scouts are often the people with the most experience in tracking. Just by looking at them, you can know that there are a large number of cavalry passing by, and you can even estimate How many people are there.

Bypassing King Youxian's camp, Liang Xiao escaped into the grassland, ran all the way to the northwest, and disappeared from the sight of the Huns.

Although he successfully bypassed King Youxian's camp, he knew that with every moment of delay, the danger would increase by three points. Once King Youxian found that there was an enemy behind him, he didn't need to go out by himself. Be on guard, he has no chance.

After rushing for more than a hundred miles, Liang Xiao stopped in front of a valley.

This is Gao Que.

On the east side of Gaoque is the main line of Yinshan Mountain, and on the west side is the Langshan Mountain, the remaining vein of Yinshan Mountain. In the middle is a relatively flat valley, with a width of thirty to forty miles and a narrow place of less than ten miles. It is the best way for the Huns to cross the Yinshan Mountain and enter and exit the Hetao area.Meng Tian, ​​general of the Qin Dynasty, seized the land of Henan, and once built a fortress here to defend it. Because the mountain is like a gate, it is named Gaoque.However, after the Qin Army's Great Wall Legion was defeated in Julu, the Huns regained control of Henan and demolished Gaoque Fortress long ago.

Liang Xiao passed by here on his first trip to the west, and now he revisited the old place with a very different mood.

As the battle was imminent, Liang Xiao called all the officers above the head of the village to discuss matters and mobilize to cheer.Four or fifty people surrounded Liang Xiao, looking at Liang Xiao enthusiastically, a little nervous, but more excited.

Before this, no one thought that they could detour to the rear of the Huns so safely.As long as there is a little negligence and the Huns find their traces, they will become the target of Youxian King.Three thousand riders versus thirty thousand riders, except for escape, there is only one way to die.If it was not Liang Xiao who made this suggestion, but someone else, I am afraid that some people would refuse to implement it.

Until now, some people still feel incredible and do not believe that they are safe.

Liang Xiao looked around, pulled out his dagger, drew a sketch on the ground, and finally pointed to the distance. "My lords, if the Huns are a fat sheep, then the most delicious sheep tail is right in front of us, waiting for us to cut."

Everyone laughed.A tall village head shouted: "Not only the tail of the sheep, but also the eggs."

Everyone laughed even more presumptuously, yelling and venting their hearts out.

Liang Xiao didn't stop it.First, people in this era are so rough, especially in the army. Second, although it is a sneak attack, the enemy is not weak. To succeed in a sneak attack, he must arouse everyone's courage and fighting spirit, so that they temporarily forget The fear brought about by the disparity in the strength of the two sides.

"That's right. The sheep egg is right in front of us. As long as we crush it, the Huns will jump in pain. Today, we only have two tasks." Liang Xiao waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then raised two fingers. "One is to burn, and the other is to kill."

"it is good!"

"happy!"

"Kill them all, and I might be able to become a lord."

Everyone said something, and I said something, and they talked enthusiastically, as if the Huns were like a sheep, waiting for them to chop.

Liang Xiao looked at them, waited for a moment, then raised his hand again. "You heard clearly, one is to burn, and the other is to kill. Don't get it wrong."

"Don't worry, my lord, it won't be wrong."

"That's right, we are very good at these, and we will never make mistakes."

Liang Xiao smiled without saying a word, but held up two fingers, motionless.When everyone saw it, they realized that Liang Xiao's expression was a little weird, they all closed their mouths, and looked at Liang Xiao inexplicably.Liang Xiao's eyes swept across the faces of the crowd, and finally landed on Xie Guanglong's face.

Xie Guanglong is the captain of the forward assault school, not only in charge of the scout battalion, but also the important task of being the first to enter the enemy's line.This is the opportunity Liang Xiao gave him, and he cherishes it very much.After this battle, even if he couldn't be named a marquis, it was expected that he would be promoted to a noble.

Seeing Liang Xiao looking at him, Xie Guanglong scratched his head, recalled Liang Xiao's words again, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and quickly stood up. "My lord, I understand. The mission this time is mainly to burn the baggage of the Huns so that they can't fight for a long time. Killing people is secondary, and beheading should not delay the business. My lord, am I right?"

Liang Xiao nodded appreciatively, and looked at the others again. "Did you hear clearly?"

Everyone suddenly realized, and some people patted their heads in frustration. "I only care about being happy, why did I forget about this, I just wanted to grab the head, and I almost missed a big deal."

Someone nodded understandingly. "That's right, that's right, burning their luggage is much more important than killing people. Without their luggage, not only will they not be able to fight anymore, but they may starve to death. If there is another heavy snowfall, tsk tsk tsk, it will look good."

"Isn't that right, beheading is not as convenient as setting fire, and setting fire is more important."

Seeing that everyone understood the main point, Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.These people are vulgar people, they can't talk about being brave and ruthless, but it's much worse to talk about tactics and strategy.Therefore, every time he arranges tactics, he has to explain the main points thoroughly and remind them again and again, so that no one can be confused about the priority.

This kind of surprise attack that wins more with less cannot tolerate any negligence, and everyone's strength must be concentrated in order to exert the greatest power.

Liang Xiao immediately arranged for all the generals to return to their own team, feed their horses with food, recharge their batteries, and launch an attack in the middle of the night.

A commander rushed to King Youxian's central army camp with a nervous scout.

King Youxian was eating, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed when he saw the commander and the scout.He could guess what was going on, seeing the tired look on the scout's face, he must have not returned all night, and he didn't know where to hide to sleep.This is not uncommon, and scouts are also human.

"Another lazy one?" King Youxian picked up the golden cup and took a sip of the wine. "Just drag it out and kill it, why bother to report it."

The commander cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, he has important news."

"Can there be any important news?" King Youxian snorted disapprovingly: "It's nothing more than telling a few lies, trying to get away with it. You are also a person who has fought for so many years, and you can't even see through this trick?"

"My lord, I have sent someone to confirm."

"Confirm what?" King You Xian's eyelids twitched suddenly, startled in his heart, put down the golden cup, and rubbed his eyes.

"There are traces of an army passing by at the foot of the mountain, heading northwest. Judging from the horseshoe prints, there are at least 8000 to [-] people, and it may even be ten thousand."

"Seven to eight thousand people? Ten thousand people?" King Youxian laughed out loud. "If so many people passed by us without you noticing, the entire scout battalion should be beheaded." He took another sip of his wine and cocked his mouth. "Besides, do the Han dogs have so many cavalry? You won't tell me that Li Guang defeated Shan Yu and got behind me, right? Do you believe such a ridiculous lie?"

The commander-in-chief's face turned purple when he was squeezed by King Youxian, he smiled embarrassingly twice, and turned to leave.

"Wait." King Youxian stopped him, as if thinking of something, slowly frowned. "Are you sure there are traces of the army passing by?"

The commander hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the scouts.The scout knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly. "My lord, it is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. There is no mistake. Although I am not sure how many people there are, the number of horses is definitely not wrong."

King You Xian narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his face slowly twisted.He beckoned and asked to be close to his staff.

"I seem to remember that someone said that Li Guang's deputy general is Liang Xiao?"

The staff member nodded. "Your Majesty is right. The Aries King himself said that Li Guang's lieutenant is Liang Xiao, and he was also the first to defeat the Aries King's formation."

Youxian King's cheeks twitched.He didn't believe the words of the commander, because he believed that it was impossible for the Han army to have so many cavalry here.However, if it was Liang Xiao, there was another possibility: maybe there were not so many people, but there were really so many horses.

This young man of the Han family likes surprise attacks, and he likes the extravagant configuration of one man and three horses.In the use of cavalry tactics, he is more like the Huns than the Huns.It was not the first time for him to do something that other Han people could not do.

In the Western Regions, he once did even more outrageous things than this, from the Western Regions to Hexi, such a long-distance raid has been a nightmare for the Huns until now, especially for him, Youxian King.It was Liang Xiao's miraculous attack that made his Western Expedition come to naught.

If it was really Liang Xiao, then his goal was very clear.

King Youxian was silent for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, the case in front of him was almost overturned by him, and the wine, meat, melon and fruit on the case were thrown everywhere, but King Youxian didn't care to take a look, his face was pale, and he shouted loudly : "Hurry up, send an order to the various ministries of the rear battalion to strengthen their guard. Liang Xiao is here."

The commander jumped and almost knelt on the ground like the scouts.The staff was also taken aback, feeling that King Youxian was a little nervous, and quickly reminded: "My lord, is it too early to draw a conclusion? It would be safer to send scouts to investigate again, after all..."

"Fart!" King Youxian was so furious that he slapped his face when he shook his hand. "Have you forgotten Liang Xiao's lesson? Looking at the world, who else can do such a thing except him? Hurry, hurry, send an order immediately..."

He turned around twice, and suddenly said: "No, I have to go in person. If Liang Xiao burns the luggage and ruins the war, Shan Yu will skin me, and I will have no face to lead the right of the Huns. .”
