Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 633

Seeing that Liang Xiao not only brought reinforcements from the Yue clan, but also reinforcements from the Great Xia, even though there were only five hundred cavalry, the king and ministers of Dawan were overjoyed.

Dawan used to be a subsidiary state of Daxia, and old people such as Wuzhi and Meicai still have old feelings for Daxia. Now that they see people from their homeland, they naturally want to warmly entertain them.Doros and his heavy armored knights received the most appropriate arrangements. If they were not worried about eating too well and gaining too much weight, which would affect their combat effectiveness, they would have gained an average of more than ten catties on average.

Taking advantage of this enthusiasm, Liang Xiao made a request to Mei Cai: replace the horses for the Da Xia heavy armored cavalry.

The Great Xia inherited the Greek military system, followed the old ways, and did not pay enough attention to the cavalry.The reason why they suffered consecutive defeats in the battle with the Yuezhi was that on the one hand, the heavy armored cavalry was not suitable for the Yuezhi's riding and shooting tactics; , The combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry is getting weaker and weaker.

But Dawan has horses, Dawan not only has horses, but also has the best war horses in the world.Although [-] war horses is not a small number, for Da Wan, at most, it is just a bit of a pain in the flesh, and it will not hurt his muscles or bones.

What's more, it was Liang Xiao who made the suggestion, and the person who wanted to change the horse was the general of Daxia.

Mei Cai hesitated for a moment, then agreed.However, he still made a request: "It's okay to change the horse, but I'm afraid it's hard to afford the others."

Liang Xiao patted Mei Cai's shoulder vigorously, raising his eyebrows. "As expected, you are not in charge of the family and don't know the price of firewood and rice. You are getting more and more stingy. Don't worry, I, Liang Xiao, have never been difficult for others. You can help me solve the matter of war horses, and I will figure out other things by myself."

Mei Cai was a little embarrassed when Liang Xiao said the central matter, and quickly covered up a few words.Liang Xiao didn't poke him, he just listened to it.

"There is something I want to discuss with you."

Mei Cai immediately became vigilant.When he was deputy king, he could cooperate with Liang Xiao unconditionally, as long as it could bring him benefits, it didn't matter if Da Wan lost a little.But seeing that he was about to become the king of Dawan, Dawan's loss became his loss. "What's up?"

"I've heard some things about Rome, but it's old news. I'm afraid we won't get the latest news until the Romans are at the gates."

Mei Cai frowned, not quite sure. "No way, there are Kangju and Seleucus between us and Rome."

"Antioch VII of Seleucid died in battle last winter, and the Parthians rose strongly. If they fight endlessly and consume each other, once the Romans kill them, it is doubtful whether they can stop them. As for Kangju, there are also many princes among them, and they are not convinced by each other. If the Romans come over, it will be good if they don’t kill each other, and you expect them to stop the Romans?"

Mei Cai was a little uneasy.Although there was no sign of what Liang Xiao said, he believed in Liang Xiao's vision.

"so what should I do now?"

"Send more spies to learn more about the situation in Rome, and be prepared."

Mei Cai nodded. "Okay, I'll arrange it."

-

Luo Xuli leaned on Liang Xiao's chest, her fingers brushed across her chest, her eyes moved. "What is your relationship with the Daxia people? Why do you want to help them change their horses?"

"I am an ally with them. The heavy armored cavalry will be my trump card against Liejiaomi. The higher their combat effectiveness, the greater my hope of winning."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?" Luo Xuli climbed up, revealing her clear and plump figure. "The heavy armored cavalry of the Daxia people is getting less and less. These five hundred cavalry may be all of Milan's cavalry. If there is no special reason, he will hand them all over to you? Anyone with a little brain knows that this will be a big battle. After a fierce battle, no one can guarantee how many of the five hundred riders will be able to go back."

"Yeah, because of this, I will do everything possible to improve their combat effectiveness. I will not only equip them with the best horses, but also equip them with the best weapons. I have sent someone to Suye City to inform Nie Yi, let him do everything he can to collect good iron and make new armor and weapons for the Great Xia cavalry."

"It's a big gift." Luo Xuli's eyes turned unfriendly. "You were not so polite when you married me. Could it be that Mosuyeye is prettier than me?"

Hearing Mosuyeye's name, Liang Xiao knew he couldn't escape.He stretched out his arms, hugged Luo Xuli in his arms, and thought about it. "Strictly speaking, I haven't married you yet."

"What, you want to go back on your word?" Luo Xuli jumped up, her face was cold and the waves were rough.

"It's not regret, it's shame." Liang Xiao got up and hugged Luo Xuli. "Do you know, when I married Ah Ling, the Son of Heaven was the officiant, and more than half of the dignitaries in Chang'an came to congratulate me. Hey, I don't even know how to describe that grandeur."

Luo Xuli raised her eyebrows with a murderous look, and there was still grievance in her small eyes.

"She is a princess, and you are also a princess. I can't wrong you." Liang Xiao pretended not to see Luo Xuli's anger, and kissed Luo Xuli's forehead. "So I'm thinking, what kind of etiquette should I use to marry you, so that I don't treat you badly."

Luo Xuli turned from anger to joy. "real?"

"Of course it's true." Liang Xiao was serious. "Have I lied to you?"

"Hee hee, what's going on with Mosuyeye?"

"Do you want to hear it?"

"I want to hear it." Luo Xuli rushed forward again. "I want to hear everything about you."

"Okay then, I'll tell you all about the past few years." Liang Xiao hugged Luo Xuli to the bed and smiled. "However, before that, there are some things to do first, lest you get angry later and don't let me touch you."

"Oh——" Luo Xuli screamed and laughed together.

After the cloud and rain, Luo Xuli was already dripping with sweat, feeling weak all over, and no longer in the mood to listen to the story.She snuggled into Liang Xiao's arms. "Actually, I'm not angry at who you marry or not. You are a great hero, how can a great hero have only one wife? Alexander has more than a dozen wives. But I want to ask for a promise for little Hannibal , I don’t want him to be like Hannibal of Carthage who didn’t have his own country and was betrayed in the end.”

"Don't worry, I will teach him as much as possible. If possible, I will build a country for him. If it is too late, I will let him have the ability to build a country by himself, how about it?"

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Well, I will take him to fight with you."

Liang Xiao woke up like a dream, turned over and sat up. "Have you already planned it?"

Luo Xuli was triumphant. "Of course, as Sun Tzu said, the one who counts more wins."

-

Although King Wu of Dawan was reluctant to let his daughter and grandson leave, but Luo Xuli couldn't hold back, so he had to agree.In order to protect Luo Xuli, he armed all the Amazon female warriors in the palace and asked them to act as Luo Xuli's guards.

Mei Cai also moved very quickly, quickly mobilizing five hundred war horses and handing them over to Doros.Doros was overjoyed.Although he had received a lot of presents, this gift was definitely the heaviest one, and it was also what he wanted most.

After everything was ready, Liang Xiao set off again.After more than ten days, he arrived at Suye City.Creon, the guard of Suye City, and Nie Yi and other Han merchants went out of the city for thirty miles to meet them.Just beside Suye Water, Creon set up a feast to welcome Liang Xiao and his party.

Liang Xiao was most concerned about the weapons of the Great Xia cavalry.After drinking for three rounds, he pulled Nie Yi aside.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Before Liang Xiao could ask, Nie Yi understood, and his chest thumped loudly. "Although Bryant is fond of wine and sex, he has nothing to say about his craftsmanship. Wait for at most two days before the equipment for the heavy armored cavalry can be completed. I will prepare the rest for you, and you can use it at any time."

Liang Xiao was both surprised and delighted. "So fast?"

"Of course." Nie Yi smiled from ear to ear. "With a prince here, not to mention Suye City, the whole of Dawan is about the same as a county of Dahan. Although the people of Dawan are also good at doing business, but in terms of strength, they are no match for my Han merchants. No matter what, as long as Dawan has it, and we can buy it for Junhou.”

"Good job."

"There is money to be made, not hard work." Nie Yi looked around and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, when will you go west? Now that silk is going west, you will be exploited by Kangju people. If you can control Dawan We can earn more by controlling Kangju as well. Junhou, we are all ready, enough equipment for [-] riders for two years, Junhou can use it at any time."

Liang Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, but he also understood why Nie Yi's reaction was so fast. It turned out that they had already stocked up the goods.

"Wait until I get Wusun done."

"Okay then, I'll just wait for the good news from Junhou." Nie Yi raised his glass, touched Liang Xiao lightly, and drank it down in one gulp.

-

Five hundred pairs of brand-new armor, five hundred sets of long knives and spears, and five hundred sets of horse gear were neatly placed in front of Doros.

There is also Nie Yi and other Han Shang's calm, nonchalant faces.

Dorothy went crazy.A fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. Daxia has been down for a long time, and there is only an empty shelf left.Even though the five hundred heavy armored cavalry were all the children of nobles, and their equipment was considered excellent, compared with the equipment in front of them, they were no better than beggars.

"This is... for me?"

"Of course it's for you." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "I don't have any other heavy cavalry."

"How embarrassing, how embarrassing." Doros said, but couldn't wait to go up, hugged a piece of armor, and never let go.Judging by his posture, anyone who wants to rob him will probably have to fight.

Liang Xiao smiled and gave Nie Yi a wink.Nie Yi took the body and ordered someone to bring a big box and put it in front of Doros.Doros shook his hands again and again. "No, no, these gifts have already made me feel ashamed, how can I accept other gifts."

Nie Yi didn't speak, and opened the wooden box, revealing an armor and a pair of swords.The style is not much different from ordinary armor, but the decoration is gorgeous. The helmet is not only carved with exquisite patterns, but also inlaid with a lot of jade, and the scabbard of the war knife is even inlaid with gems. It was so shaking that people couldn't open their eyes.

Great Xia has fallen, and Doros is still a nobleman. When he saw such luxurious armor and weapons, all his restraint was in vain.He looked at Nie Yi, then at Liang Xiao, just smirked, but didn't know what to say.

"Doros, put it on and see if it fits you."

"Okay, okay." Doros agreed repeatedly, and disarmed and changed clothes in front of everyone.Sure enough, people rely on clothing, and Buddha depends on gold clothing.Doros was originally a man, but when he put on this new armor and a new saber, he was immediately majestic, like a god descending from the earth, making people afraid to look up.

Amidst the praises of the crowd, Doros bowed down in front of Liang Xiao. Seeing this, the heavy armored knights also bowed down in unison.

"I, Doros, and the soldiers under my command hereby swear to Zeus, the king of the gods. I will suffer forever from being pecked by the eagle, and will not be protected by the gods."

The knights also solemnly swore their oath, and the sound was like a bell for a while, with an astonishing momentum.

Nie Yi and the others looked at each other and smiled. When Liang Xiao came to Suye City for the first time, he raised the battle flag of the Han army in Suye City for the first time with the help of Andrew and other forty veterans he recruited, and made great achievements in battle. .Now that there are five hundred heavy armored knights, how much credit does Liang Xiao have to make?
After Wusun, the biggest opponent, is dealt with, the Han people can walk from Chang'an to Guishan City, and maybe they can go further, all the way to Rome.

It's exciting just thinking about it.

-

At the end of June, Liang Xiao rushed to the mountain pass to join forces with Jian Mi and old Andrew.

Reunion after a long absence, the excitement and joy are self-evident.

In a few years, Old Andrew has become an official general of Dawan. As he gets older, he no longer fights in person, but becomes Jian Mi's deputy general, and gets along with Jian Mi in harmony.Some of the veterans under his command returned to their hometowns, and some remained in the army, working as instructors and logistics, and they had a living.

Seeing Paris, Alexander and others grow up and become real warriors, and listening to them tell about the illustrious military exploits they made during the battle with Liang Xiao, the veterans were both happy and envious.When young people grow up, it means they are old.It is always a sad thing when a hero is late.

While the Greeks were excited about their family reunion, Liang Xiao also got news that Ma Rong had surveyed some river valleys in the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains and confirmed that these were the granaries of the Wusun people.

Liang Xiao was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Where is it?"

Jian Mi shook his head embarrassingly. "Speaking of it, I'm also ashamed. In fact, the river valley is not far from us. We can find the river valley after turning over the mountain in front of us and going east for more than 200 miles."

Liang Xiao followed Jian Mi's fingers, looked at the mountain peaks in the southern sky, pondered for a moment, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He knew where it was, he also knew why Ma Rong appeared here, and he knew what Dongfang Shuo was planning.

With a blind eye, Mount Tai could not be seen, Lie Jiaomi's weakness was right in front of Jian Mi's eyes, but Jian Mi never thought of looking for it.If it hadn't been for the fact that Lie Jiaomi hadn't accumulated enough strength over the years, he might have traveled west along the river valley, returned to Wusun's hometown, and counterattacked Dawan.

That valley has a place name in later generations: Yili River Valley.

There is also an alias: Central Asia Wet Island.
