Chapter 637

Liang Xiao raised his clairvoyance, and looked and looked at the distant mountains.

The scouts said that many horseshoe prints and human footprints were found there. It should be that a large number of people had hidden there. Judging from some of the leftover items, they were not ordinary scouts, but dignitaries with status. , it might even be Lie Jiaomi himself.

Liang Xiao was skeptical about this.He believes that it is possible for Lie Jiaomi to come to the battlefield in person and approach the reconnaissance, but this is only a possibility after all, and no one can guarantee that the scouts may make mistakes objectively, and they may add fuel to the subject subjectively. very.

After all, we are all human, and there is always the possibility of mistakes.

However, it didn't matter to him whether Lie Jiaomi himself was there or not. It was a fact that there was a large army stationed in the valley. Even if he didn't approach for scouting, Lie Jiaomi was still nearby. A big battle was imminent, so he just had to be ready for the battle.As for whether Lie Jiaomi personally scouted or not, it doesn't make any difference.

He ordered to strengthen the vigilance and reconnaissance, and at the same time arranged for Ajina and Jianmi to continue training, but the intensity was reduced and they were no longer so hard.Give an order, except for the general who knew the purpose of doing so, almost all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Xiao practiced so hard that even the Yuezhi people, who had been fighting all the time, couldn't stand it, not to mention the comfortable and comfortable Dawan people.The Yuezhi people are a nation on horseback. They serve as soldiers in wartime and civilians in peacetime. When they are not in peace, they are characterized by hard work and hard work.But even so, Liang Xiao's intensive training still made them miserable.

It goes without saying that being a soldier requires training, but Liang Xiao's training is so intense that even these Yuezhi people have never seen it before.After a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some complaints.If it wasn't for Liang Xiao's illustrious reputation, and Azhena and Jianmi obeyed his advice, maybe someone would have caused trouble long ago.

After several months of torment, Liang Xiao suddenly lowered the training intensity, and the Yuezhi people and Dawan people suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Liang Xiao was very satisfied with the mentality of the soldiers, and Azhena and Jian Mi were also very satisfied.They could all see that after being tortured by Liang Xiao, the fighting skills and psychological qualities of these knights had improved significantly, and they could smell a bit of iron-blooded elite.

Although Liang Xiao's knights did not comment on this, they even disdain to comment.

"Your Majesty, will Lie Jiaomi come to fight?" Ah Zena kicked the horse, leaning closer to Liang Xiao.

"It's hard to say, I'm not the worm in his stomach, how could I know his mind."

"Your Majesty, don't you have any ideas?"

"Of course I have ideas, but I can't make assumptions." Liang Xiao took the rein of the horse. "In my opinion, there are two choices between fighting and not fighting. There are reasons for fighting, and there are reasons for not fighting. Maybe he can't make up his mind now. Otherwise, he would have killed it long ago. And why the cat is in the valley."

Ashina laughed. "Actually, in my opinion, there are many reasons to fight, but only one reason not to fight."

"What reason?"

"He's afraid of the lord." Ashena stroked the beard under his chin, and turned his head to look at the Tianshan Mountain in the distance. "If it wasn't for the prince, let alone [-] riders, even if it was [-] riders, Lie Jiaomi would not be able to endure until now. Even if I don't know much about Wusun's situation, I also know how important this pasture is to Wusun .If my Yue Clan encounters such a situation, even if it takes the strength of the whole clan, I will take it back."

Liang Xiao smiled, but didn't say anything.What Azhena said was just the general situation, Lie Jiaomi was obviously much calmer and more tolerant than him.This battle is about the survival of Wusun, how can Lie Jiaomi not be cautious, and can maintain restraint when the pasture is taken away, this is where Lie Jiaomi surpasses others.

The Lord should not start a division out of anger, and will not start a war out of anger. This is the principle of war.Decisions made in anger are always prone to problems. Lie Jiaomi is also the leader and general. If he doesn't keep calm, how can Wusun have the chance to dominate the Western Regions? Recently, the Han Dynasty even used two princesses and relatives. to win over.

Only by conquering Wusun can we truly control the Western Regions.Only by defeating Lie Jiaomi upright can Wusun be truly conquered.

"And you, do you want him to come or not?"

"Me?" Ah She was stunned for a moment and rolled his eyes. "I hope he doesn't come."

Liang Xiao laughed silently. "Why, don't you want to return to Jianshi City earlier?"

"If I wait another year or so, I will bring a real elite cavalry back to Jian's City, I am willing to wait." Ashena looked around and lowered his voice. "Your Majesty, although the queen is weak, she is wise enough to unite different people. It's really hard to say whether the new king can still have such a bearing when he ascends the throne. Although I don't dare to expect to be as powerful as Vice King Mocai The world, but I don't want to be slaughtered by others."

Liang Xiao blinked. "Dalu is in high power and has high morals and prestige. Who would dare to slaughter you. When Batu succeeded to the throne, he had to rely on Dalu to stabilize the situation. Of course, I hope Dalu will continue to play a role as before. After all, we have cooperated for so long. I still owe Dalu a favor."

Azhe laughed out loud, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.With Liang Xiao's words, his power in the Yueshi will be guaranteed, and it may be able to expand further.Of course, even without Liang Xiao's support, as long as he had these five thousand cavalry in hand, no one would dare to touch him easily.

After all, strength is the most important thing.

The two formed an alliance with just a few words, and Ah Shena was in a good mood, and the chat became more enjoyable.There are many internal contradictions among the Yue clan, not only the main war faction and the main peace faction are opposed to each other, but they also compete with each other on how to divide the interests.As a Dalu, Ashina knows this very well.If it hadn't been for the consideration that the Yue clan might break out into a civil war and that he needed his own elite force, he wouldn't have worked tirelessly to follow Liang Xiao on another expedition.

Liang Xiao was also very happy.He had known for a long time that there were differences within the Yue clan, but he didn't expect it to be so serious that Ashana wanted to make him an ally.In this way, besides Batu and Mosuyeye, he has a third partner of interest in the Yuezhi.This is really just when he was about to sleep, someone gave him a pillow, how could he not accept it.

The two took what they needed and were talking lively when cavalry came galloping from afar.

"General, the people of Wusun have left the valley."

Liang Xiao was slightly startled, and turned to look at Ashena, who happened to be looking over too.The two laughed at the same time.

Liang Xiao said: "Heaven fails to fulfill people's wishes."

Ashina nodded. "There are so many clouds in the sky, I don't know which one will rain. This time, we can't wait until the fruit is ripe."

Liang Xiao laughed loudly, turned the horse's head, and gave the order to prepare for the battle.The messengers slapped their horses and ran wildly, handing in orders and sending them to all ministries.Ashena swiped the saber at his waist and straightened his waist. "Your Majesty, I'll go first."

Liang Xiao clenched his fist and lightly tapped the breastplate. "effort!"

"Work hard!" Ah She kicked the horse, shouted softly, and galloped away with the guards.

All of a sudden, horses galloped across the valley, drums and horns sounded one after another, and the joyful and peaceful atmosphere was swept away.The knights who were training were also a little nervous, and they rode their horses back into the formation one after another, screaming and mingling together.

Sebastian and other Sai youths also immediately gathered behind Liang Xiao.When they first came to battle, they were both excited and uneasy.

Liang Xiao raised his hand and waved it lightly, signaling to slowly retreat back to the camp.Seeing Liang Xiao's composure, the Sai youths gradually lost their uneasiness and retreated back to the camp in an orderly manner.

Liang Xiao stayed at the end, raised the clairvoyance in his hand, and looked at the Wusun people in the distance.

The Wusun figure is like a mudslide flowing out of the gate, flowing slowly, and out of the canyon, it does not let out thousands of miles and gallop wildly, but slowly spreads out.

Liang Xiao twisted his mouth and frowned secretly.Although Lie Jiaomi was out of the valley, his caution did not decrease but increased. This is to prepare for a defensive counterattack.This is not the state he expected.He is not afraid that Lie Jiaomi is so angry that he is desperate, and he is not afraid that Lie Jiaomi is as cautious as a tortoise, but he doesn't want to see Lie Jiaomi step by step and fight steadily.

No matter how clever the strategy is, it needs the cooperation of the other party.If the other party doesn't fall for the trick, all tricks are useless.If Lie Jiaomi didn't make mistakes, he would have nothing to take advantage of, and it would turn into a head-to-head decisive battle in the end, even if he won, it would be a miserable victory.

The horn sounded in the distance, and two cavalrymen galloped out from the left and right sides, outflanking Liang Xiao.

-

Lie Jiaomi reined in the horse, squinted his eyes, looked at the figure in the distance, and his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.

This was the closest he and Liang Xiao had gotten to each other for so long.In the first fight, he had no chance of winning at all.Although there are [-] Jingqi around, Liang Xiao has less than [-], but he still has no idea.

It was not his original intention to go out of the valley to fight.

He originally wanted to wait for a while, to see what happened to Liang Xiao, and to wait for news from the Huns.But the Huns did not come for a long time, but they waited for a letter from Arikan.

Arikan said that because of his delay, people in Chigu City were panicked, and many people were frightened by Liang Xiao and lost confidence in him.If you still can't find a fighter, it's better to withdraw to Chigu City and stabilize the situation in Chigu City first.

Arikan spoke vaguely, but Lie Jiaomi heard the subtext.If he doesn't fight again, I'm afraid Arikan will be the first to lose confidence in him.The Hunxie Department has perished, and Arikan is the only one he can rely on.If he also lost confidence in him, Arukan would most likely place his last hope on Dongfang Shuo.

Once Dongfang Shuo leaves the valley and returns to Kucha, Wusun is bound to face the enemy.And the Yan clan's defection to the enemy was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the morale of the Wusun people.In order to stabilize Arukan and prevent her from despairing, Lie Jiaomi had no choice but to fight out of the valley, before the Xiongnu reinforcements could see the shadow.

Even after leaving the valley, Lie Jiaomi did not dare to be careless, and did not order an attack across the board. Instead, he occupied the position at the entrance of the valley and was ready to retreat at any time, and then sent two thousand cavalry to outflank it to see how Liang Xiao in the distance would respond. .

If he escapes, his undefeated reputation will be compromised.

If he fights, he can only fight with more than a hundred cavalry around him, and the ratio of troops will be more than ten times.Once entangled, the Wusun people have enough advantages, and even have the possibility of beheading Liang Xiao.

Victory seemed too easy, so easy that Lie Jiaomi couldn't believe his eyes.He stared at Liang Xiao in the distance, afraid that Liang Xiao would disappear in the blink of an eye, and everything would be in vain.

-

The two thousand cavalry gradually accelerated, formed a charge formation, and outflanked Liang Xiao's wings.The sound of horseshoes gradually merged into one, getting closer and closer.The yellowing pasture was trampled, kicked up, and scattered by the horseshoes, and the clear river was muddy and rattled by the horseshoes.

Liang Xiao stopped his horse and didn't move. He just raised his hand and shook it gently.

In the distance, Ashina raised his saber and gave the order to fight. The Yueshi cavalry who had just switched from training to combat mode were running in formation, and a thousand cavalry speeded up, rushed out of the battle formation, and faced Liang Xiao One thousand Wusun cavalry on the left.

Farther away, Jian Mi also gave the order to fight, and a thousand cavalry jumped on their horses and rushed towards the Wusun people on Liang Xiao's right.Jian Mi himself reined in his troops and looked at the situation on the battlefield from afar.

Four thousand cavalry approached quickly, but Liang Xiao who was in the center remained motionless, like a statue, and the knights beside him were also very relaxed, and they didn't even intend to line up.

The sound of horseshoes became more urgent, and both sides accelerated their speed, preparing for the first collision.

The Wusun cavalrymen drew their bows, mounted arrows, and prepared to shoot.Their target was not only the Yuezhi who came galloping, but also Liang Xiao.According to the current route, when contacting the Yuezhi people, they were less than a hundred steps away from Liang Xiao, so they had every chance to shoot him.

Just as the Wusun people held their breath, drew their bows, and waited to loosen the bow, the Yuezhi cavalry came first and cut into the position first, blocking the Wusun people's charge route.Just when the Wusun people were about to charge forcefully, the Yuezhi people shot a neat rain of arrows.

Hundreds of feathered arrows were shot at the forward of the Wusun people, and the dozens of cavalry who rushed in the front were shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground one after another. He rushed over helplessly, and was tripped to the ground by his companion.

This unexpected situation left Wusun people dumbfounded.

Although they were all riding and shooting, the Yuezhi people's tactics of concentrating on attacking the Wusun people's forwards were undoubtedly more lethal.To create such an impact, the Yuezhi people not only need tacit cooperation, but also ignore the attacks of other Wusun people.The Wusun people other than the front line were not disturbed in any way, they will shoot more arrows, and the Yuezhi people will suffer more losses than the Wusun people.

The Wusun man let go of the string and shot the arrow in his hand, but he didn't see what he expected.The Yuezhi people were hit by many arrows, but few fell from their horses.Instead, they ran faster, shooting continuously while running, shooting a rain of arrows.

Like a scimitar, they cut through the Wusun people's forwards and shot Wusun people to death one by one in front of the formation.

The Wusun people were like a torrent hitting a dam, stirring up waves and white foam, but they were still unable to cross the dam and rushed towards Liang Xiao who was close at hand.
