Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 655 Dilemma
There is a difference in chess, so don't do anything.

Youxian King saw Liang Xiao's falsehood and drove for hundreds of miles in one breath, trying to catch Liang Xiao, but Liang Xiao ran away unexpectedly.Liang Xiao didn't run back to the canyon, Nandou's prior arrangement to intercept the troops was meaningless, and he watched Liang Xiao go eastward helplessly.

King Youxian is faced with a dilemma: should he continue to chase, or should he guard the gorge first, and wait for Liang Xiao and Lie Jiaomi to kill both of them?
Continuing to chase is a huge test for King Youxian.Long-distance marches put high demands on soldiers and horses. The Huns ate cattle and sheep, and their logistics included a large number of cattle and sheep.If he pursued Liang Xiao, there would be a distance of dozens or even hundreds of miles between him and the supply camp, and this distance might leave Liang Xiao with a chance.

If he didn't chase after him, if Liang Xiao killed Lie Jiaomi and annexed the Wusun people, his strength would grow and he might become a tiger.

After repeated weighing, King Youxian decided to pursue again.

Even so, he was troubled by the speed of the pursuit.Liang Xiao was young and strong, and he ran fast. He couldn't keep up, so he could only follow him from a distance, relying on a large number of scouts to run back and forth to deliver messages. This was a very tormenting thing.Whenever Liang Xiao drilled into a certain canyon, it would be difficult for him to find him.

King Youxian gritted his teeth and insisted. On the one hand, he was very excited that he might catch Liang Xiao, and on the other hand, he was extremely nervous that he might be attacked by Liang Xiao. The string in his mind was about to break.

Liang Xiao was also very nervous.It was very easy for him to get rid of King Youxian. Even if he didn't find a valley to hide in, he could still make King Youxian unable to see the horse's ass just because of the poor speed of the horse.The problem was that he didn't dare to let go and run too fast, so what if he joined Ashina and Doros?
Based on the strength of the two sides, even if Azhena and Doros could kill Lie Jiaomi and severely injure the Wusun people, their own losses would not be small.Not even breathing, and desperately fighting the Huns?It is courting death.In case they failed to kill Lie Jiaomi and the two sides were stalemate, it would be a disaster to bring the Huns over at this time.

He could only maintain his speed, counterattack if necessary, and slow down the pace of the Huns as much as possible.But he couldn't fight back too fiercely, the casualty size is a small problem, he was afraid that King You Xian would see a flaw and divide his troops to support Lie Jiaomi.

He was afraid of beating a wolf with a hemp pole, but in the final analysis, Liang Xiao was more worried.Although King Youxian seemed passive, he was strong and confident.The two sides chased each other for more than 100 miles in a day's effort.At the moment when they saw the sunset, Liang Xiao and King You Xian, who were separated by more than ten miles, breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

For Liang Xiao, this was another night's buffer time, allowing him to plan how to deal with King Youxian while waiting for the news from Ashina and Doros.

He didn't know whether King Youxian saw through his falsehood as he thought, but he must be sure of the posture of King Youxian who was chasing after him.After all, Youxian King is Youxian King. Although his strength is not as good as before, he is still a hero on the grassland after all, and he still has some knowledge.Dealing with such a person is no easier than dealing with Lie Jiaomi.

If Ah Zena can't handle Lie Jiaomi, and Youxian King and Lie Jiaomi join forces, what should we do?
Thinking of this result, Liang Xiao felt a little dizzy, but he had to think about this issue.Judging from the current situation, this is almost a high probability result.Counting from the canyon, he had already ran eastward for more than 60 miles, and saw a large number of Wusun corpses along the way, but he did not see the shadows of Azhena and others, indicating that the battle was not over yet.

Greek armored cavalry is good for attacking fortifications, but not good for chasing. The farther the distance, the less powerful it is.Ajina and Doros chased so far and failed to seal the victory, so the situation is probably not good.The farther they chase, the lower the winning rate, and the more unfavorable the battle situation is for them.

For Liang Xiao, this was certainly not the result he hoped to see.But the matter has come to this point, he can only face it.

Liang Xiao sat in front of the campfire, munching on a piece of rat meat while thinking.After being cut off by the Huns, they failed to return to the canyon in time, and food for the troops and horses became a problem.War horses can barely satisfy their hunger with grass, and people can only rely on hunting.Fortunately, these knights are all good horsemen and archers. The Ili River Valley is vast and there are many wild animals, so they can't go hungry.

Liang Xiao ate rat meat for the first time.The taste is not bad, it can even be called delicious, but the image of the mouse still makes him find it hard to swallow.It's just that the situation is urgent now, and it's not the time to be poor, so he can only hold his nose and swallow.

Others didn't think there was any problem, especially the Firefox mercenaries and the Greek teenagers like Alexander who had been herding sheep on the grassland since childhood.They ate very happily, and some even lamented that they hadn't eaten such delicious food for many years, which made Liang Xiao quite dumbfounded.

Liang Xiao was the first to hear the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and then looked into the distance.

Two war horses came galloping, one of them was Cui Liu, Liang Xiao's trilogy, one of the messengers sent to contact Azhena and Doros before.The other one was from the Yuezhi, the personal guard of Ashana, whose name seemed to be Victor.Liang Xiao had seen him many times, and when he saw him coming, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.The situation on Ashina's side may not be very good, otherwise he wouldn't be so cautious.

Liang Xiao calmly took a breath to keep himself calm and not show panic.He will be the courage of an army, he is the soul of this team, if he wavers in any way, the impact on morale will be a fatal blow.

Victor rushed up to Liang Xiao, and first took a look at Liang Xiao's expression.Seeing Liang Xiao's calm expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and saluted, and said in blunt Chinese: "Victor, the guard next to Dalu, has seen the general."

"Sit." Liang Xiao pointed to the opposite side, beckoning Victor to sit down, and handed over a bunch of meat. "Be tired, eat something first."

"Thank you, General." Victor took the meat and gnawed it clean in a few mouthfuls.He wiped his mouth and said again: "General..."

"Wait, let me guess first." Liang Xiao resisted the urge to curse, and said with a smile: "Dalu is less than a hundred miles away from here, right? Well, in Baigu. Is his camp set up at a waterfall? beside?"

Victor's eyes straightened.He stared at Liang Xiao as if he was looking at a ghost. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly.

Liang Xiao smiled wryly to himself, but there was no change on his face, as calm as before.

"Lie Jiaomi is stuck in the valley by you and can't get out, and you can't get in, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Victor nodded his head like a rattle, his eyes straightened.Before he even opened his mouth, Liang Xiao revealed the location of Ashina and guessed the situation of the battle. Could it be that all of this was his plan?

Liang Xiao didn't think there was anything strange.

It is not difficult to know the location of Ashina. From the time of the courier's back and forth, it can be roughly inferred that Baigu is the most likely to become a battlefield within this range.Even if there is no winner in two days, it must be a confrontation.If he was Lie Jiaomi, in that environment, he would choose Baigu as the battlefield, and Azhena would choose the waterfall as the camping place for safety and convenience of water.

Being able to make such a guess is inseparable from his familiarity with the terrain of this river valley, but he will not tell Victor the reason.At this moment, he needs to play tricks to boost morale.

Sure enough, misfortunes never come singly, and good fortune never comes twice. Not only did Ah Zena fail to kill Lie Jiaomi, but was lured by Lie Jiaomi to attack the fortress.Is this guy's position of great fortune obtained by sleeping with the queen?Since Lie Jiaomi couldn't be dealt with, then quickly withdraw, why are you still insisting on it?Do you have enough food and grass, do you have offensive equipment, are you more familiar with the terrain here than Lie Jiaomi, how could you make such a stupid decision.

"Then Dalu asked you to come to ask me what to do?"

"Yes." Victor couldn't hide his admiration. "Da Lu trapped Lie Jiaomi, and originally wanted to ask the general to help out. Hearing that the Huns are coming, Da Lu wants to know the general's arrangement so that he can cooperate with the general's actions."

Liang Xiao nodded and said nothing more.He asked about other circumstances, especially casualties on both sides.The enemy is outnumbered, and once there are heavy casualties, it is difficult to recover.After hearing so much bad news, this time he finally heard some good news.

"Casualties? How can there be any casualties! They have been chasing Wusun people to kill, except for those who fell off their horses, almost no one was injured." Victor scratched his head. "However, when Lie Jiaomi hid on the mountain, we suffered a small loss and lost dozens of people. But when Dalu saw that the situation was not right, he immediately withdrew his troops and prepared to trap Lie Jiaomi to death."

Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and decided to take back the slander against Ashina.

"Where are the Daxia people?"

"They." Victor showed a bit of envy and hatred. "They're even better. With heavy armor, they can't be cut by knives or pierced by arrows. Except for those who stumbled, there are not many of them."

"What about them?"

"It's not far ahead." Cui Liu interjected, "I saw them on the way here. General Doros wanted to come with us. I was afraid they would be tired, so I asked them to find a place to stay first. Waiting for orders."

"Well, very good." Liang Xiao nodded appreciatively.It was understandable for Doros to feel flustered when the heavy-armored cavalry was left alone, but it would be irrational for him to run over to join him. Cui Liu's decision to advocate without authorization was very wise. "Did Doros say where it is?"

"Wild Wolf Gorge in front." Cui Liu was a little proud of Liang Xiao's compliment. "He didn't think about it for a while. I followed the general to look at the map. I remembered that there was a wolf gorge here that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I let them go there. General, don't worry, there are more than 1000 Cypriots following him, and he will definitely find the wild wolf gorge. You won’t get lost in the Wolf Gorge.”

Liang Xiao was speechless.These guys can't boast, as soon as they praise, they will cock their tails.

Liang Xiao thought for a while, and said to Cui Liu and Victor: "You two may have to work hard."

"General, tell me."

"Victor, you rush back to the camp and tell Dalu, just trap Lie Jiaomi, don't launch an attack. Be prepared to retreat, and you will clear the siege and leave as soon as I arrive."

"Okay!" Victor didn't have any doubts. He nodded and agreed, and then he did it himself, catching a few half-cooked mice, chewing a few mouthfuls, swallowing them, and leaving with a wipe.

"Xiao Liu, don't be idle, go to Wild Wolf Valley immediately to find Doros, and ask him to leave early tomorrow morning to meet Dalu."

"Still heading east?" Cui Liu was a little surprised.

"That's right, continue to the east." Liang Xiao said while thinking. "A cavalry is slow, let them go first. Aren't there Cypriots following them? Let Doros arrange a few Cypriots to go back, inform as many Cypriots as possible, and let them prepare to retreat eastward. All that can be brought Take everything away, and we will let the Huns get nothing but water and grass."

"Strong walls and clear fields." Cui Liu suddenly realized. "I see, I'm going now."

Liang Xiao called to stop Cui Liu. "How do you speak Serbian?"

"It's okay, it's okay to lie to a girl." Cui Liu said with a smile.All the songs on the side laughed.Most of them are the same as Cui Liu, they are not people who keep their own status.When they arrived in Dawan, they seduced girls from Dawan, when they arrived at Yuezhi, they seduced women from Yuezhi, and when they arrived at Yili River Valley, they did not hesitate to sneak into people's tents.

"Well, you will be my envoy to contact the Cypriots and explain my tactical arrangements."

Cui Liu was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed in response.This was a big pie that fell from the sky, and it made him dizzy all of a sudden.After this matter is done, he will definitely be promoted, maybe he can be awarded the official position of captain, and officially embark on his official career.

Liang Xiao said to the envious members: "Don't be jealous. When can you be a caring person like Cui Liu, memorize the terrain, know what to do at what time, and I will let you fly solo."

Everyone was overjoyed, and their emotions were high for a while.

Cui Liu and Victor had a full meal, then changed a few horses, and left in a hurry.

Liang Xiao pondered again.He thought for a while, then called a few guards who usually behaved well, gave a general overview of the situation in front of him, and then said: "Test you, if you were the generals in this battle, how would you deal with Wusun?" people and the Huns?”

The guards looked at each other, you pushed me, I pushed you, chatted and laughed for a while, and soon someone stood up. "General, I think we should do this. Let's retreat to the east. The east is high and the west is low. The further east we go, the better the terrain advantage we have. When the time comes, we will follow the trend and kill them all..."

Before the words fell, another guard stood up. "You're talking nonsense. As far as the terrain is suitable for charging, why go east? You can do it here. Kill the Huns first, and then kill the Wusun people. Wouldn't it be better to let them join together and then kill them?"

The guard who was interrupted was in a hurry. "Didn't I follow the general's plan to delay the Huns for a while? This has only been delayed for a day, and the Huns have not been dragged down. Of course, I have to go east for hundreds of miles."

"Also, don't use the general as a shield. The general said that he would delay the Huns for a period of time, but why did he say that he would have to go a few hundred miles? We don't have enough luggage, and if we go a few hundred miles, the Huns have not collapsed. It will collapse first."

"We don't have luggage, but the Cypriots do. You have bird feathers stuffed in your ears, didn't you hear the general and Cui Liu say that they want to unite with the Cypriots?"

Seeing the personal guards say you and me, they are not humble at all, they really regard themselves as generals commanding thousands of troops, Liang Xiao is both amused and deeply moved.These ranger boys are really high-spirited and fearless.

However, who dares to say that what they say is unreasonable?In these seemingly nonsensical analyzes, who dares to say that a truly feasible solution will not be drawn.

Unity.
