Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 638 Retreat
On the battlefield, I am most afraid of encountering accidents, especially accidents that cannot be understood.

Accidents are enough to cause headaches. Incomprehensible accidents are more likely to cause unnecessary guesses, which in turn lead to panic. Once panic occurs, the probability of collapse will increase exponentially.

Lie Jiaomi held his breath and stared at the distant battlefield without blinking.

His sight was blocked by the Yuezhi people, he couldn't see the Wusun people, and he couldn't see the reason why the Wusun people couldn't break through the Yuezhi people.He only saw that the Wusun cavalry seemed to be wrapped in by the Yuezhi people, and the people behind continued to charge forward, but the people in front never appeared.

This situation is absolutely abnormal, and it can even be regarded as weird.

The situation on the left side is also not right.

The Dawan cavalry was too far away. When a thousand Wusun cavalry approached Liang Xiao, they were at least five hundred steps away from Liang Xiao.There was no obstacle in front of the Wusun cavalry, they rushed straight to Liang Xiao, raised their bows and arrows, and were ready to shoot.

There was only one problem they encountered: Liang Xiao was in front of them on the right, and to shoot Liang Xiao, they had to twist their bodies to the right on horseback, in a very uncomfortable shooting position.In this case, they have chosen to approach the shooting to improve the hit rate.

However, their plans also came to nothing, Liang Xiao and the others seized the opportunity and started shooting when they were two hundred steps away from Liang Xiao.Although they also had problems with shooting angles, the boat was small and easy to turn around. They easily adjusted their direction and placed the Wusun cavalry in front of their left. They drew their bows and shot, and sharp arrows roared out, rushing towards the Wusun people. .

Although there were only a hundred or so riders around Liang Xiao, they were all carefully selected elite knights, and any one picked out would be an excellent archer, let alone an excellent archer such as Firefox.Under their blockage, the Wusun people's charge was completely blocked, and the arrows hit by the horses could be counted, but the knights on the horses were shot like lotus in the wind, and they were killed one after another.

They made up for their numerical disadvantage with super-high precision, and also achieved impressive results.

The Wusun people fell to the ground one after another, rushing forward, screaming endlessly, and the resistance they encountered was no less than that of their companions on the other side.

While Liang Xiao and the others were firing with all their might, Pang Shuo and the others got off their horses. More than a dozen personal guards in heavy armor and armed with long knives lined up in front, and twenty crossbowmen with pulley crossbows stood behind them, aiming Looking at the Wusun people who were getting closer, they rested their fingers on the crossbow, ready to shoot at any time.

Those Wusun people who escaped the sniping by Liang Xiao and others did not pay attention to the small formation of [-] or [-] people. They were red-eyed and furious, and rushed towards Liang Xiao at full speed.They have seen too many small formations of infantry, and these few people want to block the impact of thousands of cavalry?It's a joke.

Dozens of Wusun cavalry rushed to Pang Shuo and the others, stepped on their stirrups, sat on the saddle with their buttocks empty, raised their sabers high, and waited to split Pang Shuo in half with one blow to vent their anger.

Anger against the sharpshooters of the Han army.

However, the sky did not follow people's wishes, and he was about to rush in front of Pang Shuo. A crossbow bolt roared towards him, piercing the chests of two cavalrymen in an instant. All the anger and strength were lost in a blink of an eye. He was trampled to blood by the chaotic horseshoes.

There are two types of crossbows: single-shot sniper crossbows and group-shot crossbows.The reloading of the shooting crossbow is slow, but the killing area is large, suitable for close-range indiscriminate killing.The sniper crossbow reloads quickly and fires fast, suitable for medium and long-distance precise sniping.

Within a hundred paces, even iron armor can be shot through, not to mention the leather armor of the Wusun people.

Seeing that Pang Shuo and others were right in front of them, the Wusun people still had to sacrifice more than a dozen lives to have the opportunity to directly contact them and fight in close combat.

The saber slashed down with anger, but the result was not what they imagined.

Pang Shuo took a step forward, swung the iron knife, from bottom to top, and raised it back.The sharp iron knife cut the horse's belly, cut the saddle, cut off the knight's thigh, and finally cut off the knight's right arm swinging the knife.

The horse hissed miserably, and took two steps sideways. Blood gushed out from the huge wound, and the hot internal organs were squeezed out. The intestines were trampled on by itself and pulled in two. The horse fell to the ground with a long hiss in pain. .

The knight fell off his horse. He first watched his thigh fly up suddenly, then saw his right arm fly up, and then saw the long knife in Pang Shuo's hand cut half a circle, cutting another companion in half, blood Sway into a blood curtain.Before he landed, he saw Pang Shuo behead another person, the four-foot-long blade ripped apart the body of that companion like the thinnest layer of silk.

With a "bang", the knight landed on the ground, his eyes were blood red.

The iron knife flew up and down, like a windmill, people and horses were smashed, and those who were invincible.The Wusun people came on horseback with amazing momentum, but it was as if they had hit a boulder and fell to pieces.In a short time, half a person's height of stumped limbs and broken arms, dead people and horses were piled up in front of Pang Shuo and the others.

Pang Shuo and the others were splattered with blood all over their bodies. Stimulated by the smell of blood, they became frantic and roared like killing gods descending to earth.

Frightened by their momentum, the Wusun cavalry turned their horses' heads in unison, bypassed Pang Shuo and the others, and rushed to Liang Xiao's right.

"Shield!" Tu Niu'er shouted, raised the big shield in his hand, and protected Liang Xiao.

"Kill!" Alexander and the others stood up behind their shields and roared in unison.

Behind the large shield and spear, Liang Xiao let out a sigh of relief as he watched Pang Shuo and the others who were fighting fiercely.

The name of Uzi Iron is well-deserved. No matter whether the long knife made by Uzi Iron is the same as the legendary Mo Dao, the power is not the same.This kind of big killer is expensive, but it is definitely worth the money.It's a pity that there are only ten people now, and there is no real heavy armor, so they can only block Wusun Qingqi with the support of crossbowmen.If there are 1000 people, he can challenge almost any opponent.

Let Nie Yi and the others collect some Uzi iron later.Good steel should be used on the blade, and this kind of wootz iron should be used on such killer weapons as long knives.

Liang Xiao was in a calmer mood and became more calm. He raised the black bow in his hand and shot several arrows, "Swish, swish, swish!" With the sound of several arrows, several Wusun cavalry fell off their horses.Those who tried to rush over to attack were killed by the sword and shield fighters.
Lie Jiaomi was also watching the battle, but his mood was quite different.

If the situation of the right-wing cavalry is unclear and there is a possibility of reversal, then the left-wing cavalry is not only weird, but also desperate.

Thousands of riders attacked a small formation of more than a hundred people, and the opponent's cavalry had not yet been activated, so they would suffer heavy losses?This situation exceeded everyone's expectations.Although the cavalry quickly changed their tactics, turned their horses' heads, and charged past Liang Xiao and the others on the left, the brief engagement before was already shocking enough.

Liang Xiao neither fled, nor stepped forward, he just stood where he was, and with the help of a hundred personal guards, he beat more than a thousand Wusun cavalry to avoid them.Compared with the Yuezhi people's tactics, he is stronger and more fearless.

Faced with such an opponent, no matter how many times the strength of the army, who would dare to say that they are sure of victory?

Lie Jiaomi clenched his fists, his face livid.

The Wusun cavalry bypassed Pang Shuo. In a hurry, they could not turn again and could only gallop past Liang Xiao.After rushing past Liang Xiao, they found that they still had no chance to turn around, because the Dawan cavalry rushed towards them.In order to ensure the impact, they had no choice but to abandon Liang Xiao, speed up again, and engage the Dawan cavalry.

More than four thousand riders rushed to kill on the grassland. The Yuezhi people were like a dam, firmly blocking the impact of the Wusun people, and like a machete, cutting off layers of flesh from the formation of the Wusun people. .Liang Xiao was like a thousand-year-old stubborn stone, forcing the Wusun people to change direction, and after being frustrated, they fought against the Dawan cavalry.The originally smooth attack was blocked. Without the Dawan people attacking, the Wusun people lost their positions first.

But the Yuezhi people and the Dawan people killed them heartily.In the past few months, they have been lured by Liang Xiao's rewards, persecuted by the humiliation of Alexander and others, and half-pushed and half-heartedly accepted the almost cruel training. His mood was surging, his morale was high, and his complaints about Liang Xiao were also cast aside, leaving only admiration.

Azhena and Jianmi saw it in their eyes and were delighted in their hearts.Bystanders are clear, they know best what happened.Judging from the knights who are fighting, their subordinates have achieved remarkable results in training during this period, even if they are not reborn, they have an elite prototype.

Liang Junhou's elite soldier strategy is really extraordinary, it's almost like turning stone into gold.Ajina and Jianmi are separated by hundreds of steps, but they have a common understanding.At the same time, the knights around them were also eager to try, eager to go to battle and test their training results.

The morale of the coalition forces was like a rainbow, and the horns sounded together.

The Wusun people looked ashen, and their aura was completely suppressed.

Lie Jiaomi held the rein tightly and remained motionless.At this moment, the Wusun cavalry had already charged past Liang Xiao, mixing with the Dawan cavalry.After a brief battle, Liang Xiao hardly moved his position, and he didn't even dismount. The only change was that he had an extra bow in his hand, and there were countless corpses around him.

Lie Jiaomi knew what kind of bow it was, and he knew who most of the corpses belonged to, but he didn't have the time to think about it at the moment. He was weighing a decision: whether to go all out and send more people to fight, or to retreat and avoid Greater casualties.

In the final analysis, it depends on one question: Can Liang Xiao be defeated if all troops are deployed?If he could, he could risk his life and death at all costs.If he can't, then he must sever his wrists and retreat immediately.

Lie Jiaomi scanned the entire battlefield, assessed the strength of both sides, and made an important decision.

He ordered [-] cavalry to attack in two directions, [-] to deal with the Yuezhi people, and [-] to deal with the Dawan people. At the same time, he ordered [-] cavalry to prepare. If there is a fighter opportunity, he will immediately step forward to surround Liang Xiao and kill him on the spot.

-

Luo Xuli immediately stood on the hillside, watching the battlefield in the distance, holding the reins tightly with both hands, but couldn't restrain her beating heart.

Liang Xiao led eight thousand Yuezhi people and Dawan people to fight against Wusun people.She didn't know how many Wusun people there were, she only knew that the Wusun people's military strength far surpassed Liang Xiao's, maybe [-], maybe [-], maybe more.

In a blink of an eye, the peaceful and peaceful grassland became a bloody battlefield, and tens of thousands of people fought to the death.

She is a princess, she has seen warriors, but she has never experienced a real battlefield.This scene shocked her very much.

The patriarch of the Amazons galloped over. "Princess, the general has an order for you to withdraw across the Ili River and retreat to the northwest."

"Retreat?" Luo Xuli was even more disturbed. "Are we defeated?"

The matriarch glanced at her and said with a smile: "Princess, we are not defeated, we just retreated according to the general's previous plan."

Luo Xuli froze for a moment, then remembered that Liang Xiao had indeed arranged this way.She blushed, agreed repeatedly, and immediately retreated northwestward with the Sai youth and the soldiers of the supply battalion.The terrain of this river valley is flat, the river channel is curved like a net, the river surface is very wide, but not very deep, you can wade through it on horseback, and the only thing you have to worry about is the swamp.

Under the protection of the female Amazon warriors led by the matriarch, Luo Xuli successfully withdrew across the Ili River.She stayed on the bank of the horse and looked back to the south.

On the battlefield, the Yuezhi people had retreated to the river and were crossing the river.

Being blocked by the Yuezhi people, Luo Xuli couldn't see Liang Xiao's figure, and felt uneasy.The female patriarch tightly grabbed Luo Xuli's horse rein, and persuaded: "Princess, the general has already made arrangements, and the Yuezhi retreated in a leisurely manner. It can be seen that everything is in the general's plan, there is nothing to worry about." of."

Luo Xuli listened and nodded silently.

"Princess, please continue to go north, I'm going to prepare for the battle."

"Why, you want to join the battle too?"

"Of course, we are fighters too." The matriarch took it for granted. "We're still an important part of the general's plan."

Luo Xuli was dumbfounded.Liang Xiao still has such an arrangement?She doesn't know a thing.She didn't dare to neglect, and immediately headed north, and there was a small hill not far away. She rode her horse up the hill and continued to look at the battlefield.

The Yuezhi people retreated to the Ili River, and Ashana glanced at the Amazon female warrior by the river, a little puzzled.These female warriors were arranged by the King of Dawan to be Princess Luo Xuli's guards. At this time, the battle situation was tense, so what were they doing by the river if they didn't protect Princess Luo Xuli?
He didn't have time to think about it, and commanded his knights to rush to the predetermined battlefield.

Soon, the Dawan people also withdrew, and as soon as Jianmi withdrew across the Yili River, he rushed to the hillside where Luo Xuli was, and set out on the hillside.

"How's the general?"

Jian Mi pointed to the distance. "The general is at the back of the palace. He shot and killed many Wusun people. He will be here soon."

Luo Xuli followed Jian Mi's fingers and looked into the distance, and saw Liang Xiao and others riding horses, fighting and retreating.Liang Xiao and the knights around him turned back to fight from time to time.Wherever they rushed, the Wusun people would scatter and surround them from other directions, just like a group of gadflies turning a bison, they couldn't drive them away, and they surrounded more and more.

Liang Xiao quickly retreated to the river, rode his horse across the river, the horse's hooves kicked up waves, and muddied the river.

The Wusun people chased after him again, Liang Xiao turned back to fight again, the Wusun people repeated their old tricks, spread out to both sides, rode their horses across the river, and prepared to outflank.

This time, they failed to do so.
