Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 612
Wu Dan woke up, but felt that life would be worse than death.

His memory still remained three days ago, and the scene on the battlefield was deeply engraved in his mind.He realized that he had made a fatal mistake. Now that the ground bow was lost, he was seriously injured. The invincible reputation of Sirius has since come to an end, and what happened in these three days, he has no idea .

But he believed that Liang Xiao would never be idle.

He found his cronies, and after a little inquiry, he knew that the situation was critical.The Han envoys had been here, and King Loulan, King Khotan and others had gathered together for the past two days, and absolutely nothing good was discussed.

However, what worried him the most was the envoy sent by Liang Xiao. He pointed out their predicament to the kings, pointed out the potential danger in front of the kings, and forced the kings to make a decision. The very dangerous situation is further complicated.

Wu Dan thought for a long time, and asked someone to find King Ruoqiang.Knowing that Sirius had woken up, King Ruoqiang was overjoyed and rushed over immediately. After greeting warmly, he reported the whereabouts of King Loulan and others without losing the opportunity.

Wu Dan had been mentally prepared for a long time, but he didn't show any emotion. He just told King Ruoqiang to be on guard, and promised to give him more spoils after the battle.King Ruoqiang went happily.Wu Dan immediately recruited the little kings from various tribes to win them over one by one, but reminded them to be careful of Loulan King and other powerful tribes who took the opportunity to annex them, using both soft and hard tactics, and finally stabilized the situation for the time being.

After everything was ready, Wu Dan ordered someone to pass it on to King Loulan and others to enter the account.In order to prevent King Loulan and others from seeing the flaws of his serious injury, he specially ordered the wizard to mix some medicine for him.These medicines come from Tianzhu, which can relieve pain and refresh the mind, and wizards often drink them when practicing magic.

After drinking two large cups of medicine mixed with goat's milk, Wu Dan's complexion improved obviously, and his pale face became more rosy.King Loulan and the others entered the tent, and seeing Wu Dan's appearance, they were secretly startled, but then they were overjoyed.Judging from this, Sirius' injuries are not serious, it's a good thing he didn't act, otherwise he would be in danger now.

"What are you all busy with these past few days?" Wu Dangao sat on the tiger-skin chair and said slowly, "I'm so nervous, are you worried that I won't wake up?"

King Loulan sweated profusely, stepped forward, forced a smile, and said, "Your Excellency is a natural born warrior. We are just doing our best to pray for your blessing. Now that Your Excellency wakes up, I am very happy. Still nervous."

"So, it's thanks to all of you that I'm safe and sound." Wu Dan snorted, "What did Liang Xiao do? I heard he sent an envoy. What did he say?"

"What else can I say, it's nothing but nonsense that disturbs our army's morale and curses adults. We are not three-year-old children, how can we trust him. An adult is invincible, and a small setback can hurt an adult's life."

"Thank you for your trust. However, we have traveled thousands of miles to fight, and it is indeed not appropriate to delay too long. Please be prepared, we will fight tomorrow, and we will win in one battle. Behead Liang Xiao's head, except for Liang Xiao's bow, everyone The spoils of war will be distributed to everyone, and I will not take any of them."

Wu Dan paused, and then said: "It's nothing else, but the Han army's weapons and equipment are excellent. If you can get ten or twenty sets, you will have a lot of face in the future. It's a pity that the number of the Han army is too small. , less than a thousand people in total, everyone should work hard."

King Loulan and the others did not dare to be negligent, but Wei Wei expressed their loyalty to Sirius one by one, and then retreated tremblingly.They looked at each other with wry smiles and shook their heads, wiped off the cold sweat from their brows, and went back to camp.

Liang Xiao quickly learned about the changes in the Qiang camp. He talked to Xu Le and Ma Rong who had just returned to the camp, and Ma Rong was very disappointed.

"Wudan's luck is too good to wake up at this time. If it is two days later, maybe the kings will make trouble."

Xu Le laughed. "Zijin, the purpose of sending you to meet the kings has been achieved, so what does it matter if Wu Dan dies or not? If you just want him to die, the prince can shoot him at that time, so why wait until now."

Ma Rong was puzzled. "Jun Hou wants Wu Dan to live?"

"It doesn't really matter whether he lives or not. Without strong military force, even if he is alive, he is a walking dead. However, the most powerful of the Nanshan countries are all in the west. It is not easy to lure them here. Naturally, we must catch them." It is an opportunity to teach them a lesson, so that they will not dare to resist for at least ten years."

"That's right, they didn't dare to resist after Wu Dan was injured like this, which shows that he is cowardly and can't be influenced by benevolence and righteousness, so he must be forced by majesty." Xu Le continued the conversation, full of emotion. "A barbarian is a barbarian. Their knowledge is too small to tell the difference between the gains and the losses. Zijin has explained the truth so clearly that they still don't understand it, so they can only use force to wake them up."

Seeing Xu Le's statement, Liang Xiao didn't say anything.He asked Batu and the leaders of the tribes to tell them what happened in the Qiang camp.In any case, they are all Qiang people, and they belong to the same species. If you want to kill them, you must first gain their sympathy, so as not to leave a bad impression that the Han people are easy to kill.

Hearing that King Loulan and others had rejected the Han army's offer of negotiation, the leaders felt regretful and excited at the same time.It's a pity that there will be a battle after all. If you are excited, you don't have to worry about losing the battle, just wait for the cheap.Anyway, Liang Xiao said that before winning, he would not step back from the stele.And the previous record is enough to prove that Liang Xiao has such strength.Not to mention that Sirius is injured, even if he is fine, he is not Liang Xiao's opponent.

Batu was even more excited, his chest was pounding, and he said loudly, "Don't worry, general, I will lead all the ministries to stand firm and never retreat a step. Since they came all the way to die, let's fulfill them."

Huang Ruo of the Eagle Tribe also stood up. "The prince is right. With the general commanding us this time, we will definitely win a big victory. After this battle, we still have time to go to Loulan and Ruoqiang. We might spend the winter in Loulan city today. Haha, early I knew that Loulan is a big city, so I finally had a chance to see it."

Mo Su, the leader of the Scalper Tribe, thought for a while, then stood up and gave a Chinese salute. "General, although the cattle tribe is average in strength, they are willing to fight with the general. If the general intends to go west, I would like to be the general's pawn."

Someone took the lead, and others were not to be outdone, and asked for a fight one after another.

They all knew that the most powerful countries in Nanshan were all here. If Liang Xiao could really hit them hard, it would be entirely possible to control Nanshan in one fell swoop. Some small countries might even perish due to too much loss.Make a statement at this time and leave a good impression in the hearts of the Han people, so that you can share a little bit of benefits when the time comes.Captives, cattle and sheep are all necessary, and it would be great if they could share a good pasture.

Liang Xiao was well aware of the thoughts of these leaders.He exchanged glances with Xu Le, smiled slightly, and waved his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Thank you for your support. It's the same sentence. The emperor of the Han family sent me to the Western Regions to keep everyone safe. Since some people don't know how to advance or retreat, we have no choice but to start killing. The battle will start tomorrow. Please stick to this battle and see I, the athletes of the Han family, charge forward for you." Liang Xiao stood up, clenched his fist and lightly hit his chest. "As long as my son of the Han family is still alive, these thieves will not be allowed to wreak havoc on the Western Regions."

The leaders stood up one after another, touching their chests and saluting. "Thank you General."

"Thank you, Son of Heaven."

"Han family Tianwei, I will be convinced."

-

After a few days, Wu Dan commanded the army to enter the position again.

The situation was similar to the previous two times. Batu led various soldiers to guard the east end of the valley, while Liang Xiao led more than a thousand cavalry to stand on the hillside.The only difference was that after two devastating battles, the Qiang people had full confidence in Liang Xiao and his knights.Facing the enemy's superior force, they no longer faltered or panicked, but clenched their weapons tightly, waiting for the start of the battle, waiting to see Liang Xiao defeat the enemy again.

On the other hand, the morale of the coalition forces in Guxi seemed somewhat tragic.Sirius has not recovered from his serious injuries, so he can only sit in command of the Chinese army and cannot go to the front line in person.The former army commander was still King Ruoqiang, but his strength had increased significantly. Sirius had dispatched some elites from various countries to give him command. Now he has [-] elite cavalry, which is very powerful.

King Ruoqiang was sitting on horseback, with a newly made banner flying above his head, and he was in a complicated mood.He was very fortunate that he stood firmly on the side of Sirius and did not participate in the conspiracy of King Loulan and others.Now King Loulan, King Khotan, and King Mimi were all assigned to the Chinese army to watch the battle. They were called Zun Chong, and they were actually put under house arrest. Their subordinates were handed over to the command of a small king like King Ruoqiang.

These are sent to death.King Ruoqiang secretly sighed.It's not easy for him to do this job. If he wins, it's okay. If he loses, even if Sirius dies, King Loulan will never spare him.

Who made him the knife in the hands of Sirius.

While thinking about it, King Ruoqiang sent a thousand cavalry to challenge.These thousand riders are all from Loulan.They were also aware of their situation. King Loulan was under house arrest by Sirius in the central army. If they could not win, they would have to die in battle.

Under the leadership of a thousand-man general, the Loulan people galloped eastward toward the rising sun.

Liang Xiao didn't say much, and ordered to beat the drums, and Xie Guanglong led four hundred riders to rush down the hillside.Two hundred Han cavalry and two hundred Qiang cavalry divided into two groups and outflanked the Loulan people.King Ruoqiang once fought against Xie Guanglong, and one thousand riders were defeated by Xie Guanglong's two hundred riders. Knowing that the one thousand Loulan people were definitely no match, he immediately sent another two thousand riders to support him, and he must make a good start.

The knights of the two armies were five or six hundred steps apart, gradually accelerating and approaching quickly.

Liang Xiao raised his hand and waved lightly.The orderly waved the colored flag and gave the order. The drummer cheered up and beat the war drum vigorously. The originally slow rhythm of the war drum suddenly struck twice.

At the foot of the hillside, the fifty ballistas lined up took off their camouflage, and with an order, ten ballistas roared at the same time.

"Bah bah!" Almost at the same time, ten black dots were shot out, turning into ten puffs of light smoke in the air, over the heads of Xie Guanglong and the others, and pounced on the Loulan cavalry rushing in front.

The ballista is deployed in the valley, with a range of [-] steps, far beyond the distance that human eyes can pay attention to.King Loulan may be able to see these carts, but he will only regard them as obstacles to prevent the cavalry from charging. He never thought that these carts are deadly weapons.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

Ten groups of light smoke gathered together and shot into the formation of the Loulan people, forming a strike circle with a thousand people as the center and a radius of twenty steps.Three hundred iron arrows were shot at almost the same time, piercing through the bodies of countless Loulan people and war horses in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the second wave of blows followed.

The Loulan people mainly wear leather armor, only the generals and some of the personal guards around them have iron armor, and all the war horses have no armor.In the face of these two-foot-long iron arrows, their protection is close to nothing.Some iron arrows pierced through their bodies, sending out streaks of bloody arrows, while some iron arrows left their bodies, pulling their internal organs as they moved.

The people of Loulan were severely injured. Nearly a hundred people were injured by arrows and fell off their horses. Thousands of generals who received intensive care were hit by more than ten arrows. One fell off the horse and died on the spot. Dozens of horses fell to the ground with arrows .

The Loulan people who were charging were not prepared at all, and were stunned all of a sudden. The knights behind couldn't hold back their steps and had no time to turn.The originally neat charge formation was cut off at the middle, and only the hundred or so knights who charged in the front remained unaffected and continued to charge forward.

Unfortunately, their luck didn't last long. Four hundred Han and Qiang knights rushed over and engulfed them instantly.

The Han and Qiang knights succeeded in one blow, and quickly rushed towards the chaotic Loulan people without stopping.The people of Loulan watched the Han and Qiang knights blowing towards them like the wind, but there was nothing they could do.Their charging rhythm was disrupted, and the horses were either tripped or lost speed, and they had no power to fight back.

A row of 50 Han and Qiang knights, leaping horses and wielding spears, was like a raging wave, and the offensive was continuous like a tide.

After a charge, everyone in Loulan fell on their backs and suffered heavy losses. Less than a third of the Loulan people were still sitting on horseback, distraught and terrified.Looking at the messy battlefield, they didn't even know what happened. Some people just thought it was bad luck and stumbled.

The Han and Qiang knights did not have such doubts. They had practiced similar tactics countless times without any surprises.They turned their horses and charged again, beheading the remaining Loulan people in front of the formation.

The two thousand Qiang cavalry who came for reinforcements turned pale with fright, and all of them reined in their horses.They were far away. Although they didn't see the crossbow arrows clearly, they saw with their own eyes how the Han army knights in iron armor and holding spears killed the Loulan people.Four hundred riders were against one thousand riders, but they took out the Loulan people with only one charge. This kind of fighting power was simply appalling.

They have heard about the strength of Han Qi, and they are also psychologically prepared.But when they saw this scene with their own eyes, they were still shocked.

They thought they were no better than the Loulan people. Facing the wolves and tigers of the Han cavalry, they had no confidence. They all reined in their horses and turned their heads to avoid confrontation with the Han cavalry.
