Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 644 Evolution
Dongfang Shuo returned to the stone chamber and stopped.

Liang Ming immediately guarded the gate, and the Wusun guards stopped outside the gate knowingly, not surprisingly.As long as Dongfang Shuo doesn't run away, they will never take the initiative to find trouble, lest they ask for trouble.

Dongfang Shuo took two steps back and forth in the room, forced himself to sit down, adjusted his breathing, and calmed down as usual.After a while, his breathing gradually calmed down, and the muscles on his face gradually relaxed, and he seemed to be asleep, like an old monk in meditation.

People in Wusun don't believe in Buddhism, but there are many Buddhist temples in Qiuci and Cheshi. Dongfang Shuo dabbled in Buddhist scriptures and learned some meditation methods, but he didn't do it seriously. He didn't expect to use it now.

In the distance, a maid was hiding in the corner of the wall, watching Dongfang Shuo from a distance, seeing Dongfang Shuo entering the house and never coming out again, although Liang Ming was guarding the door, there was no movement, everything was normal, so she quietly left , back in front of Arikan.

Arkan thought for a while after listening to the maid's report, and sent someone to invite Dongfang Shuo again.It didn't take long, and those who went reported that Mr. Dongfang Shuo said that he only needed a leather mattress to keep out the cold, and nothing else was needed.

The corners of Arkan's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a bit of spring in his eyes.She asked people to bring wine and meat, and rushed to Dongfang Shuo's stone chamber in person.Liang Ming stood at the door with his arms folded. Seeing Arikan coming in person, he silently stepped aside.

A Ruikan entered the room, asked people to set up the table, put down the wine and meat, and waved his followers to leave.

Dongfang Shuo remained motionless, expressionless.

"What, are you angry with me?" Arkan poured a glass of wine, leaning against the table, supporting the edge of the table with one hand, holding the wine glass in the other, slowly shaking it.The blood-like wine shone with a bewitching light in the luminous glass, exuding a faint aroma of wine.

"Why do you bother?" Dongfang Shuo opened his eyes and gave Arkan a sideways look. "I'm a prisoner now, and I can't drink any fine wine."

"Really? Then I have to drink it myself." Arikan said, taking a sip with a smile.

"You drink more, it's really uncertain whether you will have a chance to drink in the future."

"If I go to Chang'an, will you come and see me?"

"will not."

Dongfang Shuo answered so quickly that he didn't even think about it. Arikan's face changed when he heard this, and he said in a hateful voice, "Sure enough, he's a fickle lover."

"It's not that I'm unfeeling, it's that I don't have time." Dongfang Shuo sighed. "There are so many things going on in the Western Regions, how can I do it without me? Liang Xiao is still good at fighting, and I can only leave other things to me. Such a big place, it takes a lot of time just to travel, how can I go to Chang'an to see it?" You."

Aruikan's face turned pale, he played with the wine glass, and said casually, "You have so much confidence in Liang Xiao?"

Dongfang Shuo thought for a while, then asked back, "Let me ask you a question: Is it Dawan Makuai or Wusun Makuai?"

Arukan's face changed slightly, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled.

"Do you still remember the incident when Liang Xiao rushed to Hexi?" Dongfang Shuo continued: "Liang Xiao is good at fighting, but he has never been reckless. If he is not sure, he will choose to avoid the real and attack the weak. Back then, King Youxian had a hundred thousand troops. He is not an opponent, he can only avoid the battle, that's why he ran for thousands of miles. Now that Lie Jiaomi has only [-] troops, even if Liang Xiao loses, it will be no problem to retreat, right? He will be trapped in the canyon by Lie Jiaomi ?”

Arikan's face became even uglier. "Maybe... Lie Jiaomi set a trap to lure him into the trap."

"Liejiaomi lured Liang Xiao into the trap? Ha! Haha! Hahaha!" Dongfang Shuo laughed exaggeratedly, and turned his head, as if he was too lazy to tell you.

Arikan felt even more uncertain.She also didn't believe that Lie Jiaomi could trap Liang Xiao with tricks.Liang Xiao has always been that kind of cunning and unpredictable opponent, who comes and goes even more suddenly, and no one can figure out what he is thinking.

It was a big surprise that he appeared in the Yili River Valley.

Will such a person be trapped by Lie Jiaomi?

The more Arukan thought about it, the more disturbed he became, his expression kept changing, and he could no longer maintain his composure.She looked at Dongfang Shuo, feeling seriously lacking in confidence. "According to what you say, no one can defeat him?"

"That's not enough." Dongfang Shuo said with a smile: "If you have more than ten times the strength of the army, there is still a chance. Back then, King Youxian was able to force him not to fight head-on. Wasn't it because of the superiority of troops? If Youxian this time The king can arrive in time, no matter how good Liang Xiao is at fighting, he has no choice but to retreat."

"Lie Jiaomi contacted King Youxian."

"But King Youxian couldn't make it to the battlefield. In my opinion, either King Youxian didn't intend to really support Lie Jiaomi at all, or he was blocked by Li Danghu. Entering the valley from the grassland, the fastest The path is to take Daban. Lie Jiaomi could have thought of this, but Liang Xiao could not have imagined that he would arrange for Li Danghu to guard Daban and prevent Youxian King from entering the valley."

Dongfang Shuo smiled. "Liang Xiao dared to stay in the valley because he knew that Lie Jiaomi didn't have any more reinforcements, otherwise he would have already run away. As for retreating into the canyon, he just used the terrain to do more damage, first to dampen Lie Jiaomi's morale. When Lie Jiaomi fails to attack and can only retreat, he will show his true strength. Haha, I guess he is waiting for the snow. When it snows, it will be difficult for Lie Jiaomi to return to Chigu City."

With a "snap", the glass in Arikan's hand fell to the ground, and the wine spilled everywhere.She covered her undulating chest, her chest was pale, and her forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at her, shook his head, and sighed.

As the sun rises in the east, the trumpets sound, and the Wusun people approach the mouth of the gorge again.

After a day of fierce fighting, the herdsmen who had just been conscripted had been exhausted. Except for the first batch of thousands of people who surrendered to Liang Xiao, the rest either died in the battle among the stone formations or were beheaded by Lie Jiaomi.

Now it's the Wusun people's turn to go into battle.

Lie Jiaomi squinted his eyes and glanced at the rock formation in the distance.Judging from the battle flag, the defenders in the rock formation are not the Han army and Dawan people, but the Yuezhi people.

Lie Jiaomi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and gave the order to attack.

A thousand shield bearers stepped forward first.What they held in their hands was not the small bucklers of cavalry, but the large shields of infantry.They were made very crudely, and some of them didn't even peel off the bark, just a few logs bundled together, but the advantage was that they were large in size, and placed on the ground, they were about as tall as Wusun soldiers.

The shield bearers stood in two rows, advancing cautiously.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps, the Wusun people still had no intention of stopping, and continued to approach, but walked more slowly.

Azhena stood on the shooting platform, his expression changed drastically.The Wusun people attacked for a whole day yesterday, but they didn't send so many shield players. Why did they suddenly change their formation today?

"General, what does this mean?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "What's so strange about this? Isn't it a normal tactic to use a shield array to cover the archers and an arrow array to cover the infantry's attack?"

Ah She patted her head, as if waking up from a dream.This reason is not complicated. He had seen such a tactic before when Wusun attacked Suye City, but he didn't have a deep impression on it.Seeing it again, he realized that he was not prepared for this at all.

After all, the Yuezhi people are not familiar with this fighting style, and his learning speed is obviously not as good as that of Lie Jiaomi.Lie Jiaomi has already mastered it, but he is still in the dark.

"What should I do?"

"Water comes to cover it, and arrows come to block it." Liang Xiao raised his clairvoyance and continued to observe Lie Jiao Mi in the distance.It was too far away, he could only see Lie Jiaomi's figure, but not Lie Jiaomi's expression.However, he guessed that Lie Jiaomi should be laughing at the moment.

Isn't the sudden change of formation just to be caught off guard?This kind of tactic has no effect on the Han army, but it still has a certain effect on the psychological blow of the Yuezhi people.Ashina is a little flustered now.

Ashena didn't dare to neglect, reminded the soldiers in the formation to be careful of the Wusun people's bows and arrows, and ordered the archers to step forward to cover, and then asked Liang Xiao, hoping that he could provide support for the arrow formation.

"Don't worry, if you don't tell me, I will do the same." Liang Xiao agreed without hesitation.

Ashina breathed a sigh of relief.

In the sound of the horn, Wusun's shieldmen set up a shield array, and then the archers stepped forward, lined up behind the big shield, and then began to shoot together.Two thousand archers drew their bows, and the arrows covered the sky and the sun, and the arrows were like locusts, and the Yuezhi people in the stone formation couldn't lift their heads.

The terrain in the formation was narrow, and there was not enough room for the archers. The Yuezhi could only lie behind the boulder, waiting patiently for the battle to begin.The arrows of the Wusun people shot faster and more densely. When the arrows hit the boulder, there was a crisp sound, which tossed the eardrums of the Yuezhi people and tortured the Yuezhi people's heart.

From time to time, some Yuezhi people were hit by arrows and made muffled groans or screams.

Although the Yuezhi archers stepped forward to fight back, they didn't have a large shield to cover them, and their numbers were insufficient. They were completely suppressed by the Wusun people, and they complained endlessly.

Only the crossbowmen of the Han army on the shooting platform were not greatly affected, and still methodically selected targets for sniping.Although the Wusun people had big shields to cover them, those big shields were too simple to cover well.The crossbowmen almost always achieve the desired results when they shoot for the first time.

It's just that the number of crossbowmen is too small. Facing the absolute superiority of the Wusun people, their voices are drowned out, and almost no one pays attention to them.

Seeing that the arrow array had gained an overwhelming advantage, Lie Jiaomi heaved a sigh of relief and sent out pawns to attack.

Ah Zena was so anxious that she wanted to slap herself twice.When watching the battle between the Han army and the Dawan people, he felt very relaxed, but now that it was his turn, he realized that the situation was very serious.

In addition to regret, he still has some luck.If he didn't fight in person, how could he know where the gap was.Now even the people of Dawan have learned how to fight offensively and defensively. If the Yuezhi people don't catch up, they might not even be able to deal with the people of Dawan in the future.

"Don't be nervous, Dalu, calm down." Liang Xiao patted Ah Zena's shoulder and said in relief.

Ajina held her breath, and forced her head to nod calmly.

The Wusun people rushed to the stone formation, and the archers extended their shots.The infantry shouted angrily and rushed into the formation.

Although Ashina was nervous, she still ordered a counterattack.The Yuezhi people in the rock formation mustered up their courage, fought back and fought with the Wusun people.Wusun has a large number of people and is covered by arrow arrays, so he has the upper hand in momentum, causing the Yuezhi people to retreat step by step, and within a short period of time, they have smashed more than half a dozen steps into the chaotic rocks.

Ah Zena was terrified, Liang Xiao was also a little nervous, but he still comforted Ah Zena and said: "Don't worry about Dalu, the Wusun people are looking for their own death."

"Really?" Ashana wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Look, they entered the formation, can they still stand firm?" Liang Xiao pointed to the Wusun people in the stone formation. "Although they have a large number, they are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. As long as you stay calm, you will definitely defeat them. When the first attack is blocked, they will not be so excited."

Azhena nodded again and again, regardless of the danger, leaned his body out of the firing platform, gave orders loudly, and encouraged the soldiers in the formation.When the Wusun people saw him, they all raised their bows to shoot, but they were too far away, and even if they managed to hit him, the arrows would have no power, and they couldn't pierce the shield in Ashena's hand.

With Azhena's personal encouragement, the Yuezhi people stabilized their position and counterattacked with all their strength, cutting down the Wusun people one by one in the formation, and gradually regained their position.

Although there are many Wusun people, they are blocked by rocks and cannot enter.They huddled in front of the formation and became living targets, and were shot by the Yuezhi people into embarrassment.Although the Wusun archers were covered by a large shield, they were blocked by the pawns and could not move forward. They could only attack from a distance, and their effect was limited.

Seeing this scene, Ashina breathed a sigh of relief.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than half an hour, but the Wusun people had nowhere to go, so they had to leave thousands of corpses and retreated.

Lie Jiaomi did not give Azhena a chance to breathe, and immediately launched a second wave of attacks.

Ah Zena kept complaining, but he couldn't think about it, so he had to bite the bullet and fight.

The battle is more intense.The corpses in the stone formation were not cleaned up in time, not only the Wusun people had nowhere to stay, but even the Yuezhi people felt that it was difficult to walk.I don't know which side climbed the boulder first, and soon someone followed suit, and the soldiers of both sides started fighting on the boulder.

Although a large number of Wusun people were killed and injured, the casualties of the Yuezhi people also increased rapidly.

Seeing his subordinates fall down one after another, Ah Shena rubbed her hands anxiously.

"Dalu, do you want my help?"

"General, you should act quickly."

"Actually, I think this is a good opportunity for tempering. If you can withstand even such a battle, you will not be timid no matter what kind of enemy you encounter in the future. Although it sounds cruel, a true warrior can only be a battlefield If you have not experienced the test of life and death, no matter how good your martial arts are, you will still be lacking psychologically."

Azhena couldn't care less about it anymore, begging again and again.Liang Xiao didn't insist either, and ordered to attack.

When the war drums sounded, Tu Niu'er rushed out with the Liang family trilogy.They jumped directly onto the boulder, walked like flying, and rushed to the point of contact between the two sides as if they were walking on flat ground.

"Get out of the way!" Tu Niu'er yelled, swung his shield and held a Wusun man's saber, with a flash of the saber's light, it cut off his neck and saved the soldiers of the Yue clan.Before the Yuezhi man could heave a sigh of relief and thank him, he rushed to another Wusun man, raised his knife, and chopped Wusun man to the ground.

As soon as they joined the battle, the stalemate changed immediately. The Yuezhi people received strong support and their morale was boosted, but the Wusun people were killed by this new force and their morale dropped.It didn't last long before it was defeated.

The Yuezhi people were so excited that they raised their swords and shouted wildly.

"The warriors of the Han family are mighty—"
