Chapter 645
Lie Jiaomi curled his lips, and sent out his personal guard battalion to push the Wusun soldiers who had just been defeated to the front of the battle, beheading them all. The crime was very clear: fleeing in battle.

As soon as this order came out, the two armies were horrified, and the Wusun people were stunned, their legs trembling.Although Lie Jiaomi had killed the shepherds before, they never expected that Lie Jiaomi would deal with them like this. They couldn't accept it for a while, but no one dared to speak out against them.

Liang Xiao and Azhena were more surprised than the Wusun people.

Liang Xiao frowned, he realized that he might have underestimated Lie Jiaomi.Lie Jiaomi was determined to break through Taniguchi, even at the expense of beheading his subordinates.In this way, the Wusun people will inevitably attack the stone formation.If one person is desperate, ten people will be difficult, and the casualties of one's own side will inevitably increase sharply.

For the coalition forces composed of Dawan people and Yuezhi people, it is easy to fight against the wind, but it is difficult to fight against the wind. Once the external pressure is too great, mutual suspicion will be magnified. There may be differences.Once differences arise, it is not far to turn against each other.

But Lie Jiaomi would not be in such danger, his control over the Wusun people was much stronger.

Liang Xiao turned his head to look at Azhena, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and smiled. "Dalu, do we still want to stick to our bet?"

Seeing Lie Jiaomi's sternness, Ah Shena's heart pounded, and he already regretted the bet. Hearing Liang Xiao's words, he almost blurted out, and took this opportunity to cancel the bet, but he swallowed the words again. .

Liang Xiao's calmness infected him, and he didn't seem so nervous anymore.More importantly, he realized that he had no way out.Could it be possible to reduce casualties by canceling the bet?

Surrender to Lie Jiaomi?This is obviously unlikely.Since it was impossible, showing weakness at this time would undoubtedly only make Liang Xiao look down on him. Even if he helped him overcome this difficulty, the trust between them would be greatly reduced.

Ah Zena quickly weighed the pros and cons, and asked calmly, "Is the general guilty?"

The corner of Liang Xiao's mouth twitched slightly. "Da Lu has to think clearly. Lie Jiao Mi has become ruthless, and the next two days may be more difficult. If you make it through, you will naturally have a chance to win. If you don't make it through, you may be defeated."

Azhana smiled: "The general has the confidence to survive?"

Liang Xiao snorted, "Maybe Da Lu didn't know that the Minyue battle was much more dangerous than this. Although the Minyue people are average in strength, they are still better than the Wusun people in terms of offensive and defensive capabilities."

Ashina breathed a sigh of relief.He knew that Liang Xiao hadn't been idle when he returned to Chang'an in the past few years. He won several victories in succession, and the number of households in the city soared all the way.He didn't know the specific situation of the Minyue War, but Liang Xiao's promotion was so fast, it was naturally obtained in exchange for an unimaginable victory.

"Then let me see with my own eyes the general displaying his might."

"As you wish. However, I have to make some arrangements first, so as to cut off Lie Jiaomi's thoughts."

"What are you thinking?"

Liang didn't say anything, and asked Sebastian and the leader of the shepherds who surrendered before to tell them about the situation just now, and then said: "Lie Jiaomi wants to fill up my formation with corpses, but I believe he won't We will use all the corpses of Wusun people."

The head shepherd heard this and immediately understood what Liang Xiao meant.Lie Jiaomi is likely to conscript the surrounding shepherds and ask them to make sacrifices.Lie Jiaomi has already done this kind of thing once, so it's not surprising to do it a second time.

The shepherd leader fell to the ground. "General, please save us."

"I can't save you, only you can save yourself." Liang Xiao said: "You have also seen how Lie Jiaomi treats you Cypriots. If you don't stand up and resist, you will sooner or later wipe out your family."

"Then what should we do?"

"Find a way out of the mountain and inform your people to stay away from the battlefield."

The leader of the herdsmen nodded as if waking up from a dream.Most of them are herdsmen nearby and are familiar with the terrain.It is difficult to find a road suitable for the army to walk, but it is not impossible for a few or a dozen people to climb out.It is worthwhile to go out of the mountain secretly and tell the people to stay away from the disaster of genocide.

The leader of the shepherds went with a thousand thanks.Only then did Liang Xiao re-arrange the formation. After obtaining the consent of Ashina, he mixed Dawan people and Yuezhi people into a team of 500 people, and took turns to defend the formation. Wait for the Han army to form a death squad. Once the battle is unfavorable, they will be sent to the battle to support the soldiers in the battle.

Just as Liang Xiao finished adjusting, Lie Jiaomi launched another attack.Still the same tactics, the shield hand covers the archer, the archer covers the infantry, and the infantry steps forward to attack.

This time, Liang Xiao also learned his lesson. He asked the archers to keep calm, but arranged for the soldiers in the formation to hurry up and throw out the corpses of the Wusun people in the formation, forming a corpse wall in front of the stone formation.He also ordered people to prepare some cloth strips, coated them with grease, and tied them to the arrow shafts for use.

With the sound of the horn, the Wusun people began to cover and shoot, and the dense rain of arrows covered the sky and covered the sky.

The Dawan people and the Yuezhi people held up their shields and waited patiently behind the rocks.

The archers also hid in the stone circle, relying on the cover of the boulders, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

When the Wusun infantry began to charge and the arrow array stretched back, the archers lit the cloth strips and shot a batch of rockets.Their target was not the Wusun infantry who were charging, nor the Wusun archers, but the corpses of the Wusun soldiers scattered in front of the formation.

The corpse was ignited, the flames rose, and the stench of burnt flesh filled the air, making people nauseous and unable to breathe.

Seeing the sizzling sound of their comrades' corpses being burned, the faces of the Wusun people who were charging changed drastically. Some continued to advance, but more chose to retreat temporarily, and the team split into two.

Seizing the opportunity, Liang Xiao ordered the soldiers in the formation to take the initiative to attack.The Dawan people and the Yuezhi people roared out, and rushed towards the Wusun people who rushed through the corpse wall, hacking and killing them.Wusun's people were flustered, the situation was chaotic, and there were heavy casualties. Many people fell to the ground and became new corpses.Some people were only injured, but they were also affected by the fire. They were so burned that they hissed and screamed, crying ghosts and wolves.

The faces of the Wusun people changed when they heard this, and they became even more flustered.

Liang Xiao immediately ordered the archers to shoot, pushing the Wusun people's panic to a climax.

Under the attack of fire and arrows, the Wusun people's attack was repelled again, leaving hundreds of corpses behind, and retreated in a panic.

Lie Jiaomi was so angry that his face was livid, he ignored the pleas of the generals, and ordered the guards to arrest the retreating infantry, escort them to the front of the formation, and behead them all.

Looking at the row of fallen corpses and the heads rolling everywhere, Liang Xiao smiled. "Dalu, how about we make another bet and see how many people Lie Jiaomi can kill?"

Ashina laughed out loud. "General, I won't gamble. The more he kills, the better, so as to save us trouble."

"Hey, let's go all out, go down again, and go all out. If you can't find an effective attack tactic, it's useless to hunt and kill more people. A group of sheep can defeat a group of wolves just by being ruthless? What a joke!"

Ashina sighed softly. "It seems that Lie Jiaomi is more difficult than us."

"Of course, how could he be our opponent in terms of offense and defense?" Liang Xiao snorted with disdain on his face, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

-

King You Xian sat on the saddle, drinking wine one after another.

Several generals sat around, some were in a daze, some were chatting in low voices, and some looked at the scouts who were reporting the situation without saying a word.

The scout came from the mountain pass in the west. He discovered something and came here to report to King Youxian.

The Dawan defenders at the mountain pass left the fortress and climbed over the mountains on the south side. It seems that they should be rushing to the Ili River Valley of the Wusun people.

Hearing this news, not only King Youxian's eyes lit up, but all the generals were also moved.

They rushed to the Ili Valley excitedly, not only to support Lie Jiaomi and defeat Liang Xiao, an old enemy, but also to make a fortune in the Ili Valley.They were very depressed and even more disappointed when they were beaten up by Li Danghu in Dabancheng with bruised nose and swollen eyes.Now the opportunity has come, whether it is following the Dawan people into the Ili River Valley, or attacking the fortress of the mountain pass, and invading Dawan, they can gain a lot and make up for the loss under Daban City.

After careful consideration, King Youxian decided to enter the Ili River Valley.Teaming up with Lie Jiaomi to defeat Liang Xiao and solve this confidant's trouble is more attractive than going to Dawan to make a fortune.It would be even better if Lie Jiaomi could be killed easily and occupy the Yili River Valley.

King Youxian changed the direction of the march and ordered the whole army to travel starry night to the Ili River Valley.

-

Lie Jiaomi was furious, pointing at the noses of several generals and yelling.

Before the battle today, when he wanted to kill people to build his prestige, these generals objected, which made him very annoyed.

"You think I don't know how to pity the soldiers, and that I like to kill people?" Lie Jiaomi's face was ashen, and his voice was stern. "If not, how can we break through Liang Xiao's position? If we don't break through Liang Xiao's position, can we kill Liang Xiao, or just sit here and wait for him to starve to death?"

"Kunmo, that's not what we mean." A general stood up and pleaded. "It's not that the soldiers didn't work hard, it's that Liang Xiao was too vicious and actually set fire to the corpses of my fallen soldiers. The soldiers panicked for a while, there is a reason for it, and it's not cowardice. If we all beheaded regardless of the reason, wouldn't we be defeated for a while? 2000 people are going to die?"

"That's right, no matter what the reason is, as long as you lose the battle, you must die. Only in this way can you risk your life and move forward with all your might." Lie Jiaomi gritted his teeth and said, "If one person fights all his life, it will be difficult for ten. Liang Xiao's troops are insufficient. Afraid of going all out. At this point in the war, whoever is more ruthless will have the last laugh. The benevolence of a woman will only miss a big deal."

"Kunmo, this is the foundation of my Wusun. If the soldiers are chilled, who would want to fight?"

Lie Jiaomi narrowed his eyes, his eyes were sharp.This general is his confidant, and he rarely contradicts him, but today he dared to rebuke him directly, other emotions can be imagined.Could it be that the killing was too much and aroused public outrage?

Lie Jiaomi felt uneasy, but he refused to give in.This is a great opportunity to kill Liang Xiao, and he must not give up on it.

"What better way do you have?" Lie Jiaomi sat down on the tiger seat and said coldly.

"Kunmo, it's disgusting that the Sai people are attached to Liang Xiao, especially those dog slaves who surrendered before the battle. It's better to arrest all their clansmen, regardless of age, and force them to fight. This not only punishes the traitor, but also consumes Liang Xiao. Wouldn't Xiao's strength be better?"

Lie Jiaomi blinked, feeling reasonable.In addition to these two benefits, there is an additional benefit: since their clan is exterminated, there is no need to keep any rations, and all property can be collected as existing, as supplies, or as future reward.

"Alright, let's rest for two days, who wants to arrest people?"

"Me!" Almost at the same time, several generals stepped forward, bravely going to carry out this task.

Lie Jiaomi glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the general in front of him.Those who have made merit will naturally be rewarded, and such a vacancy is a reward. "Your suggestion, you do it."

"Thank you Kunmo." The general was overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.

-

"Whoosh!" An iron crossbow shot through the air, carrying a long rope, leaped over a canyon of more than thirty steps, and accurately hit a big tree on the opposite cliff.The crossbow bolts of the strong crossbow shot through the tree trunk and held it firmly.

Pang Shuo tightened the rope and wrapped the end of the rope around a boulder.

Liang Xiao personally hung the iron hook of the life-saving rope on the iron ring. "Sebas, don't be afraid. With this iron ring, even if you miss it, you won't fall. We will pull you back, do you hear me?"

Sebastian said with a smile: "General, I understand. It's not the first time I've climbed, so I'll be fine."

Liang Xiao nodded, a little embarrassed.He also knows that the security measures are actually very safe, and Sebas will not have any problems, but he just wants to take care of him.Seeing this familiar scene, he thought of the expedition driver and Sigma.

Sebastian skillfully hung upside down on the rope, like a little monkey, using both hands and feet, crawled towards the opposite side.

The wind picked up, the rope wobbled, Liang Xiao's heart also picked up, and he clenched his fist involuntarily.

Sebas was not nervous, he rested for a while, continued to climb forward, and climbed to the opposite side after a while.He untied the safety rope around his waist, fixed the end of the rope again, and then sent out the signal.

A Sebastian stepped forward, quickly pulled back the safety rope, tied it around his waist, followed Sebas's appearance, using both hands and feet, hung upside down on the rope, and crawled towards the opposite side.With the protection of the safety rope and Sebastian pulling hard there, although he was not as flexible as Sebastian, he reached the opposite side very easily.

Soon, more than fifty Cypriots passed through the canyon safely, and the leader of the Cypriots said gratefully: "General, I am leaving, please take care of it."

"Be careful on the road, don't play hard with the Wusun people, they are crazy, stay as far away from them as you can."

The Serbian leader gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, general, I know what to do. I will never let these beasts go."

Liang Xiao patted him on the shoulder and watched him cross the canyon.The Cypriots waved their hands and said goodbye.
