Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 608 Decoy
Looking at the battlefield, King Ruoqiang and others were dumbfounded and at a loss.

If the victory of the Eagle Tribe just made them feel that it is unrealistic to grab a grab before using the main force, then the defeat of a thousand riders by the opponent's two hundred riders made them feel horrified.

They knew that Liang Xiao was good at fighting, and that the Han army was well-equipped, so when they saw the Eagle Tribe retreat and the Han army come out, they were ready to pay heavy casualties.After all, Liang Xiao once killed Yiwuer with 200 cavalry, and the strength of the Han army has been verified. 1000 people repelled [-] people, and even the final victory is a possible result.

But they never thought that the two hundred Han cavalry not only defeated their one thousand cavalry, but also achieved an overwhelming victory.With just one charge, the difference in strength between the two sides will be judged, even better than the performance of the Eagle Tribe just now.

They had no doubt that if they didn't withdraw their troops immediately and had another round, it would be a question of whether half of the thousand riders could come back alive.

After a simple calculation, King Ruoqiang felt that there was no hope of winning.If the Han army had similar combat power, Liang Xiao's [-] cavalry alone would be enough to defeat them all, and there was no need to use the tribes at all.Since there is no advantage to take advantage of, it is better to retreat before suffering heavy casualties.

King Ruoqiang immediately ordered the cavalry to return to the army and prepare to retreat.

With the sound of the horn, everyone was stunned except Liang Xiao and the others.The battle had just begun, so why did they retreat.Could it be that he traveled more than 1000 miles to come here just for this brief battle?

King Ruoqiang seemed to understand everyone's thoughts. He ordered the messengers to repeat the order and retreat unswervingly.

Hearing the continuous sound of the horn, no one expressed any doubts.The morale of both sides immediately produced two completely different changes.

Qi Mo Wang, Xiao Wan Wang and other leaders were preparing to retreat one after another, their morale was low, and they were even a little depressed.This battle is too useless, it can be said that he came in high spirits, and returned in disappointment.

Batu and the others were inexplicably excited.I originally thought that even if I could win, it would be a difficult battle, but I didn't expect to win so easily.In just two rounds, the seemingly aggressive enemies were stunned and retreated actively. The victory came so quickly that they were not even mentally prepared.

Excited, they called for a fight one after another, wanting to take advantage of the enemy's retreat to hunt down and kill them for a while, expressing their anger.

Batu also thought it was feasible, so he prepared to blow the horn to ask Liang Xiao for instructions.Before his order was issued, Liang Xiao's messengers had arrived, ordering everyone to stick to their positions and not to attack, so as not to be taken advantage of by others.Although Batu felt it was a pity, he didn't dare to disobey Liang Xiao's order, so he had to order the soldiers to stand still and watch the enemy withdraw from the position.

King Ruoqiang was overjoyed and withdrew twenty miles in one go.When he passed the stone tablet, he felt like he was alive after a catastrophe, and felt an inexplicable sense of relief.Liang Xiao said that if you advance, you will die, and if you retreat, you will live. Although he has retreated now, he has entered after all.It can be seen that Liang Xiao is also bluffing, but in fact he doesn't have enough strength, otherwise, how could he watch him leave.

King Ruoqiang chose a suitable place, ordered to set up camp, and at the same time sent someone to deliver a message to Sirius.He didn't dare to say that he retreated timidly, he only said that after testing, Liang Xiao's strength is not bad, so he needs to be careful.He has limited troops and dare not attack by force, and he has to wait for Sirius to decide in person.

The messenger left with King Ruoqiang's message. King Ruoqiang ordered people to buy wine, drink with the leaders of the tribes, and discuss the next battle.Sirius is cruel, he will kill if he is dissatisfied, he doesn't want to be beheaded by Sirius to sacrifice the flag.

-

Liang Xiao put down his wine glass, smiled at the tribal leaders, said hello, and got up to leave.

Everyone stood up, watched Liang Xiao go away, and then sat down again, asking questions around Batu and Huang Ruo.Today's situation is so good, why didn't General Liang send people to chase and fight a big victory?What a pity to let King Ruoqiang and others run away like this.Although they retreated, their losses were limited. Once the main force of the Sirius arrived, they would make a comeback again. At that time, if they tried to kill them again, it would not be so easy.

Batu couldn't figure it out either, but he didn't say anything. He was overwhelmed with alcohol and quickly left the table.

Huang Ruo was high-spirited, drank well, did not leave, but argued with the leaders.He fought a victory today, beheaded more than a hundred at the cost of more than 30 casualties, captured more than 40 people, and got more than 70 horses alone.Liang Xiao only bought half of the horses. He didn't like the weapons and armor of those knights, so he gave them all, and all the captives went to him.

"You guys know nothing!" Huang Ruo triumphantly cursed, "How can General Liang like King Ruoqiang and King Qiemo? There is only one person he wants to arrest: Sirius. Didn't Sirius clamor for him?" Do you want to compare arrows with General Liang? General Liang will be waiting for him. You guys, just wait patiently and see how General Liang kills Sirius with one arrow."

He cursed and spit. "Sirius? Pooh, he's a wild dog at best, a homeless wild dog."

Everyone laughed, teasing Huang Ruo, true or false.

"It's time to see your meritorious deeds."

"Sirius is a wild dog, so what are you, an eagle flying in the sky, or a pheasant eating in the ground?"

"It doesn't matter if I'm an eagle or a pheasant." Huang Ruo took a long gulp of wine. "I only know that General Liang is the real archer. I have no skills, so I have to find someone who has skills to follow. You people have no skills, no vision, and you want to get rich? Haha!"

Everyone fell silent.Huang Ruo's words touched their hearts.If they are capable, who of them would dare to compete with Aliusubi?Aliusu was self-confident and was unwilling to cooperate with Liang Xiao and the Han people. As a result, he was shot and killed by Sirius, and his subordinates were scattered. The Yuezhi people were almost wiped out.His younger brother Batu has no skills, but he stands firmly by Liang Xiao's side, and now he controls the Yuezhi tribe.

Huang Ruo is another example.Before attaching to Liang Xiao, he was just an inconspicuous small tribe.But now, he has already played a pivotal role, and he is still charging forward with the Han people.If we fight a few more battles, he is likely to become an important figure trusted by the Han people after Batu.

In the past, they didn't really believe in Liang Xiao's strength, and they were unwilling to bow their heads to Liang Xiao easily. Now that they have seen Liang Xiao's ability with their own eyes, if they still don't bow their heads, they can only watch people like Huang Ruo become stronger step by step. To bow down to them.

It's time to find an opportunity to show loyalty to Liang Xiao and win a chance to make meritorious service.If you don't work hard now, when Sirius is dead, Liang Xiao will control the entire Nanshan Mountain, and there will be so many big countries that want to show their favor to him, how can he think of them.

Everyone had their own ulterior motives, and each of them was planning their own little thoughts, but they refused to reveal them, said a few words perfunctorily, and left one after another.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liang Xiao, Xu Le and others gathered around the sand table to discuss tactics for the last time.If King Qiang was repelled, the Sirius would definitely not let it go, and the decisive battle to decide whether to control the Nanshan Kingdoms was about to begin, and there could be no mistakes.

Liang Xiao sat silently by the side, closed his eyes, and deduced it over and over again in his mind.With so much preparation, he has engraved the nearby terrain in his mind, and he can know what is going on there without looking at the sand table.He even surveyed some important terrains himself, and he knows them well.

A general must know geography.This is what Huan Yuan said before he taught him the art of war, and he has always engraved it in his heart, and he dare not forget it for a moment.

Batu walked in, greeted Xu Le and the others, walked up to Liang Xiao, and bowed. "General."

Liang Xiao opened his eyes. "Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that there are some things I can't understand, and I want to ask the general for advice."

"Tell me, is there anything you don't understand?"

"General, why is Captain Xie able to defeat the enemy's thousand cavalry with only two hundred cavalry? I know they train very hard, but the disparity is too great."

Liang Xiao smiled slightly. "What's so strange about this. These people were originally selected warriors from various tribes. After several months of training, both their individual martial arts and mutual cooperation have reached a new level. Don't say a word It is normal to fight five against one, and ten against one."

"Since that's the case, why didn't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle, and even killed King Ruoqiang and others before the battle?"

Liang Xiao looked at Xu Le. "Xu Jianjun, please explain to the prince."

"Here." Xu Le responded, leading Batu to the sand table. "Your Highness, what is our goal?"

Batu thought about it. "Kill Sirius."

"anything else?"

"And... control the Nanshan countries, and then gather the strength of the Nanshan countries to fight against Wusun, forcing them to surrender to Nazhi."

"That's right, our goal is the Heavenly Wolf, not the Nanshan kingdoms. In the future, we will use the power of the Nanshan kingdoms to fight against Wusun. Therefore, we must attack the Nanshan kingdoms and make them surrender, but we must not hit them too hard. However, it hurts my vitality."

Batu nodded. "So, the general spared King Ruoqiang, because he didn't want them to suffer too much damage?"

"It is, but not entirely." Xu Le continued to explain: "The reason why we have the confidence to fight Sirius here is not only because we have your support and the best fighters, but also because this is the place we choose. The battlefield. We have made a lot of preparations here, just to deal with Sirius. Wouldn't it be a waste to deal with King Ruoqiang?"

Batu suddenly realized.He knew that Liang Xiao had made some arrangements here, but for the sake of confidentiality, even he didn't know much about it.Now it seems that these arrangements are very important, and they may be the key to killing Sirius.Of course such an important arrangement cannot be exposed because of King Ruoqiang.

"Also, the heavenly wolves have come from far away, and the luggage they carry is limited. The more people there are, the more food and grass they consume, and the shorter the time they can support. Killing King Ruoqiang now, isn't it saving food for him and saving food for him? He's buying time?"

Batu slapped his forehead, and smiled self-consciously: "I was confused. That's right, these people are average in combat power, but they are not bad at eating. If you defeat him, not only will the food be saved for Sirius, but the prisoners will also waste it." our food."

"What Your Highness said is true." Xu Le lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious. "Your Highness, this is a secret, and it must not be leaked. Please be careful when you come out of this big account."

Batu nodded solemnly. "Please rest assured, the general and the supervising army. As soon as I leave this big tent, I will immediately lock my mouth and never say a word."

Star Gorge.

Huangfuqi rode his horse to escape, and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, throw all those jewels on the ground, no more, no more."

Several servants pulled out their knives and cut the sheepskin bag, and the pearls, jade and precious stones inside spilled out, rolling on the ground, everywhere.They put away the empty bags, followed Huangfuqi and galloped into the canyon.

The valley became narrower and narrower, and in the end not only could it not run, but it was also impossible to ride a horse.Huangfuqi and the others got off their horses, led the horses on foot, and walked through a long and narrow passage. Finally, they saw the sun and Guo Wenbin's smiling face again.

"Old man, thank you for your hard work." Guo Wenbin came forward and bowed his hands in salute.

"It's okay, it's okay." Huangfuqi said with a smile: "If I can catch all these bulldogs in one go, I will be worth a little loss. You don't know, I have suffered too much loss in the past few years."

"I know, I know." Guo Wenbin said with a smile: "Now that the price of jade in Chang'an has risen, His Majesty is in a hurry, so he sent Liang Junhou to the Western Regions. Otherwise, do you think it will be so smooth?"

Huangfu had a lot of experience, so he understood Guo Wenbin's meaning as soon as he heard it. "Oh, the affairs of the imperial court are too complicated, and we ordinary people really can't understand them. It's enough to be wary of those heroes of the family. There is nothing to beware of people like Liang Junhou who have no foundation at all. Don't say it, don't say it, Wen Bin Ah, now that you are the prefect, you have to decide for us."

"Old man, don't worry. I have been on this road for so many years. How can I not know your suffering? Besides, I am somewhat wealthy. As for harming you for some money? Money, why should I suffer so much?"

"That is, that is." Huangfuqi nodded in satisfaction. "I read you right."

"Of course, you've been in business all your life, when did you miss it?"

Just as he was talking, someone came to report, and the Huns followed up the canyon.After hearing this, Guo Wenbin didn't dare to neglect, and immediately led Huangfu to a high place.As soon as they went up, there were soldiers occupying the vital points, with their bows and arrows drawn, ready to fight.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and a Hun passed through the passage and appeared in front of them.Seeing the Han army on the hillside, the Huns were taken aback, and immediately blew the horn to warn the people behind that there was an ambush, and immediately retreated from the canyon.

Unfortunately, their reaction was too slow. Along with the sound of the horn, Guo Wenbin also sounded the war drum.After a while, the sound of war drums came from a distance, and then a series of muffled sounds came, and the smoke and dust in the north rose up and shot straight into the sky.Huangfuqi was taken aback: "Wen Bin, is this... blocking the mouth of the gorge?"

"Of course, if you don't block the mouth of the gorge, how can you trap so many Huns?" Guo Wenbin beamed with joy. "This is called catching a turtle in a urn."

"What's the use of just catching them, there are still 2000 people behind, they will definitely come to rescue, maybe they will attack your prefect's mansion."

Guo Wenbin laughed triumphantly. "I'm afraid they won't come! Old man, do you think I'm satisfied with catching these hundreds of people? They think you are fat sheep and they are wolves, but in my eyes, they are the real fat sheep. I want to They acted as bait and wiped out the entire Hunxie Department."
