Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 662
King Youxian is in a dilemma.

He felt he was in the wrong place, with the wrong opponent, fighting the wrong battle.

The location was chosen by Liang Xiao, it was suitable for defense but not good for offense.The Huns had an advantage in military strength but were unable to make use of it, and the price of a storm was astonishing.Even if the person who died was from Wusun, King Youxian couldn't bear it.

The evil consequences of Lie Jiaomi driving the Cypriots into battle are vivid in his mind, how dare he repeat the same mistakes, let alone see no hope of victory at all.This kind of heartbreaking thing, even if he wants to do it, he can't do it.

King Youxian weighed and weighed repeatedly, and finally made a difficult decision: Let Lie Jiaomi attack.

For the sake of face, King Youxian launched a few more attacks, but they were only perfunctory. He put on a big posture, but there was loud thunder and little rain. He fired a burst of arrows from a distance and retreated. Most of the arrows were not Shooting into the formation of the Yuezhi people, all the results of the battle are just sending a batch of arrows to the Yuezhi people.

Seeing the Huns dealing with errands, Liang Xiao guessed Youxian King's thoughts.Before that, he had repeatedly discussed the possible results with Azhena and others, and King Youxian's decision did not exceed their expectations.If there were any surprises, it would be that King Youxian gave up too quickly.

It can be seen from this that King Youxian is wiser than Lie Jiaomi, or in other words, he has learned the lesson of Lie Jiaomi and has not put all his eggs in one basket like Lie Jiaomi.For Liang Xiao, this was not good news.

Feeling bitter in his heart, but with a smile on his face, Liang Xiao, Tu Xisai and others chatted and laughed happily, from time to time, they teased King Youxian a few words, and gave the Sai people a lot of peace of mind pills, showing the commanding demeanor of a famous general .Seeing that the Huns were coming aggressively, the Cypriots had several times their strength, but they had no choice but to take the position of the Yuezhi. They finally felt relieved and decided to continue fighting with the invincible Lord Arrow God.

The Huns attacked for a day, and the casualties were less than [-], but the mentality of both sides changed very obviously.The Huns came while they were in good spirits, but returned in defeat.The morale of the Cypriots was boosted, and the number of people at both ends of the first mouse decreased significantly.

To strike while the iron is hot, Liang Xiao came to Tu Xisai to discuss the matter of pulling out the Wusun people's fortress.

In the north of Nalati Grassland, there is a trail that can go straight to the north of Bancheng.This is the way Li Danghu took when he attacked Daban City.Tuhisai was able to get some silk occasionally, and it was also from this trail.

This trail is controlled by the Wusun people. In the middle of the canyon there is a Bingling Fortress, where fifty Wusun soldiers are stationed, commanded by a Wusun Captain.The captain of the Wusun people is similar to that of the Han people, and should be an officer commanding 500 people.Lie Jiaomi arranged a captain in Bingling Fortress, which shows that he attaches great importance to this fortress.

In fact, the captain was indeed very conscientious. This road has always been controlled by the Wusun people, making it difficult for even the Cypriots to pass.

"The captain's name is Wu Gong. He is Lie Jiaomi's confidant. Thirty years ago, he protected Lie Jiaomi from fleeing to the Huns." Tu Xisai shook his head. "This person is a bit of a dead-headed person. He doesn't take hard and soft, and only accepts Liejiaomi's orders. If you want to take down Bingling Fortress, you have to attack by force. However, Bingling Fortress was built in the ice and snow. To conquer the fortress is better than going to the sky Disaster."

"Have you ever been in the fortress?"

"Entered once, but didn't see anything. Ugong is very vigilant and won't let us move around."

"What about the people in the fortress?"

"They are all descendants of the Wusun nobles. Their families are all in Chigu City, and no one dares to surrender. After three years, when they return to Chigu City, they can be awarded the position of Hundred Generals, which is easier to promote than others."

"Don't they usually come out?"

"If you don't come out, the Wusun people collect food and weapons from us, and then send them to the fortress. The last time I went, I just sent food with me, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance."

Liang Xiao nodded and asked Tu Xisai to draw a sketch as detailed as possible.Ma Rong heard about this fortress from Li Danghu, but when they entered the Erie Valley, they took another narrow path and did not pass through the Bingling Fortress.Tu Xisai was the only person Liang Xiao could find who entered the Bingling Fortress.

After reading the sketches, Liang Xiao also felt a little troubled.

As its name suggests, the Ice Ridge Fortress was built above the snow line, at the lowest point of a mountain ridge.This meant that the fort controlled the route over the mountain, yet had the upper hand.Standing on top of the fortress, you can have a panoramic view of both sides of the mountain.Because of the perennial snow, the road to enter the fortress is not only difficult, but also has nowhere to hide, and the possibility of sneaking up is infinitely close to zero.

Liang Xiao looked at the map, and Tu Xisai looked at Liang Xiao.He was very curious, could this invincible Lord Arrow God conquer a fortress like Bingling?

Liang Xiao sensed Tu Xisai's curiosity and couldn't help smiling wryly.People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, as expected.If the Bingling Fortress cannot be conquered, not only will the plan to deter Lie Jiaomi fail, but the Cypriots will also be disappointed in him, and the previous efforts will be in vain.

If the Cypriots couldn't have full confidence in him, why should they support their thousands of troops and follow his command to fight the Huns.

Ice Ridge Hold must be taken.

"Get ready and accompany me to Bingling Fortress." Liang Xiao smiled. "In addition, choose another trustworthy person to serve as the captain of Bingling Fortress."

Seeing that Liang Xiao was full of confidence and didn't care about the danger of Bingling Fortress at all, Tu Xisai couldn't help being curious.He really wanted to ask how Liang Xiao planned to attack Bingling Fortress, but seeing that Liang Xiao had no intention of saying anything, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

After sending Tu Xisai away, Liang Xiao called Tu Niuer, Pang Shuo and others, and explained the reason for attacking Bingling Fortress and the general situation of Bingling Fortress. "Think about it, how can we take down this fortress."

Everyone looked at the prairie and felt a little troubled.Strong attack, unable to get close, no matter how powerful a fighter is, there is only one end when they encounter rocks and logs sliding down the ice road.For a sneak attack, there are snowy mountains on both sides, and there is no way to hide. Even if you go to the bottom of the fortress, there is still a five-foot-high stone wall to climb. It is undoubtedly a dream to go to the city without disturbing the guards on the stone wall.

"It seems that there is only one way." Firefox patted his thigh and smiled wryly.

"any solution?"

"Fly over."

"And—" the personal guard Wu Yuan elongated his voice to show his disdain.

Everyone laughed, but Pang Shuo didn't laugh.He put one hand on his chest and touched his chin with the other, thinking for a while.Seeing him acting like this, everyone stopped laughing.Liang Xiao looked at Pang Shuo, and said with a soft smile, "Dahu, what can you do?"

Pang Shuo looked at Liang Xiao, hesitant.

"Just say what you think, don't be afraid of being laughed at."

Pang Shuo nodded. "Your Majesty, maybe we can build a big kite and fly into the fortress. There are only 50 people in the fortress. With our combat power, as long as we can enter with three or five people, we can control the city wall and open the city gate?"

"Kite?" Liang Xiao's eyes lit up.This is a way.Just as Pang Shuo said, if you can get in three or five swordsmen like Pang Shuo, let alone control the city wall, it is possible to kill all fifty soldiers in the city.However, if you want to fly a warrior like Pang Shuo, the kite is not small, and ordinary kites are definitely not up to the task.

"How big is this kite?" Wu Yuan scratched his head.

"The size of the kite is not a problem, as long as there is enough wind, it can fly." Liang Xiao remembered a famous saying, as long as it stands in the wind, even a pig can fly.The Bingling Fortress is on a mountain ridge, and it is between two peaks, so it should be regarded as an outlet.Building enough kites should be able to send a soldier into the sky.

"However, how can such a big kite be controlled? How can we fly it into the sky?"

"It's okay." Wu Yuan rubbed his hands together and smiled. "One person can't pull it. We can use two people, or three people, or four people to pull it. I think it's easy to go to heaven, but how to control the direction is the problem."

"The direction is also easy to control." Liang Xiao had a flash of inspiration, and patted Wu Yuan's shoulder hard. "You are right. We use four people to control it. As long as we cooperate well, we can definitely send one person to the sky above the fortress steadily."

While talking, Liang Xiao drew a sketch.In fact, what he drew was no longer a kite, but a parachute.Using four ropes to control a kite, plus an auxiliary parachute as an auxiliary, is enough to send a person into the sky.

Liang Xiao not only drew a sketch, but also cut two pieces of sheepskin and made a model with the arrow shaft as the support and the bowstring as the rope.When the little kite was blown vigorously by a few big men with puffed cheeks, everyone laughed.

No one expected that Firefox's joke would become a reality. With this kite, sending three or five warriors into the fortress would not be a problem at all.

Liang Xiao immediately found Tu Xisai and asked him to provide some women with sheepskin and skillful hands.The sheepskin was used to make kites, and the woman helped to sew them, and cut some straight and long fir trees for support. In one day, five huge kites were ready, and Liang Xiao and Tu Xisai embarked on the journey.

Before leaving, Liang Xiao handed over the battlefield command to Azhena.He said to Ashina, you stick to it for five days, and within five days, I will come back with Ugong's head.

Full of confidence, Azhena agreed without hesitation.

Bingling, Liang Xiao crouched in the snow, stretched out his hand, feeling the biting cold wind, his face was sore from the wind, even his smile was frozen on his face, his fingers were frozen quickly, But he was still overjoyed and overjoyed.

"Good wind!"

"It's really a good wind." Wu Yuan also said with a smile. While talking, he took out the cut wooden board and carved on it with a dagger. "The wind is strong enough to send the kite into the sky."

"Yes, the key now is to find the anchor point."

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Full of confidence, Wu Yuan raised his clairvoyance and began to draw a scale. "Although my surveying and mapping skills are not as good as Dr. Ma's, it is still no problem to find four anchor points suitable for installing the bracket. Actually, I already have a plan now, but I just need to be more precise."

Liang Xiao didn't speak.Wu Yuan traveled to many places with Ma Rong and learned basic surveying and mapping techniques. It would be no problem to select a few points.He looked towards the fort.He was too far away, and without clairvoyance, he could only see a few figures on the city wall, but not more detailed information.Generally speaking, the fortress is very well-prepared, especially in the direction facing the Nalati Grassland.

He looked around and saw a few figures. He knew that they should be sentry sent by the fortress, so he didn't feel nervous.These men could tell Ugon he was coming, but they would never guess how he would take the fort.Before the real attack, he would send people to expel these outposts, drive them back to the fortress, and make Ugon blind and deaf.

It took Wu Yuan half an hour to draw a sketch and mark the numbers, and then he went down the slope and returned to the camp.Pang Shuo and others immediately surrounded him. Wu Yuan put down the sketch, dug snow from the outside, made a simple model, and then began to explain the terrain around the fortress and determine the location of the installation bracket.

After Wu Yuan finished explaining, Liang Xiao began to arrange tasks.

"Dahu, you don't have to do anything tomorrow. Find a similar terrain to practice. You must cooperate tacitly and make no mistakes. If you fall from the sky, you will die."

Pang Shuo patted his chest. "Junhou, don't worry, I will pick the smartest person."

Liang Xiao nodded, and said to Firefox: "After dawn, you lead the crossbowmen and drive all the Wusun people back to the fortress. Those who stay outside will be killed without mercy."

Firefox nodded and said nothing.Such a task is familiar to him, so there is no need to worry about it.Their archery skills are a waste against those Wusun people, not to mention there are pulley crossbowmen to help them out.

"Leader, I've wronged you, join me tomorrow to guard them and keep the Wusun people away."

Tuhisai laughed. "I'll do what the general says. I'm so curious. I wish I could see how you conquer the fort right now."

"Don't worry, you will see it." Liang Xiao said with a smile: "However, you must prepare your knights. Once you get Wu Gong's head, you must send it to the Nalati Grassland as quickly as possible. in the hands of Arjana."

"Don't worry, general, I'm ready. I decided to deliver it in person. How can I give it to someone else for such a good opportunity to show my face?"

Everyone laughed.

Two days later, when everything was ready, Liang Xiao came to Bingling Fortress.

Liang Xiao asked Tu Xisai to send an envoy to the fortress to persuade him to surrender.Persuading him to surrender was just a routine matter, he didn't expect Wu Gong to agree to it at all, he just wanted to delay for a while.When the envoy was advancing to the fort, four groups of people climbed up the mountain with the prepared materials, and installed pulley brackets at the designated positions.

Above the fortress, Wu Gong raised his head, looked at the enemy who was struggling to climb up the hillside, and frowned.He already knew about Liang Xiao's arrival and was ready to fight, but he was still puzzled.

What are these people doing on the mountain? Are they planning to set up crossbows there to snipe?Even there, they couldn't see what was going on in the fortress. No matter how far the range of the crossbow was, they were free and could only shoot blindly.

If it was other opponents, Wu Gong would sneer at this moment.But facing Liang Xiao, a famous general of the Han Dynasty who was so powerful in the Western Regions, he felt chills in his heart.

Facing an unknown opponent is always scary.Before the battle even started, Wu Gong became nervous.
