Chapter 664
Wu Gong was setting up defenses under the headquarters, and he didn't notice the arrows shot from below the city. The guards beside him were also attracted by the giant kite above their heads, and forgot to be on guard.Eight feathered arrows roared towards Wu Gong, and the two guards standing in front of Wu Gong were hit by the arrows at the same time, screaming and falling to the ground.

Hearing the scream, Wu Gong turned his head and saw a few feathered arrows flying towards him, he couldn't help but feel a little ominous in his heart.

There are traitors in the fortress!

It was obvious that Liang Xiao and the others were still below the fortress, so they couldn't see him at all, so it was impossible to shoot so many arrows at him at the same time.The only people who have the conditions to do so are the people on the city wall, and only the people on the city wall can see him and confirm his location.

Not afraid of powerful enemies, but afraid of traitors, judging from the situation of these few arrows, there may be more than one or two people.

Wu Gong was furious, his falcon-like eyes swept towards the archers on the city wall, and at the same time he raised his hand, ready to order his guards to step forward and kill the target once he found the target, so as to control the situation.The situation is urgent, and I would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

However, his raised hand was frozen in mid-air, and the orders that came to his mouth were delayed.As far as he could see, the archers on the city wall were all ready to shoot, with their arrows pointing into the air, and no one looked at him.

Who is it?

Just as Wu Gong was nervously searching for the traitor, the arrow shot by Liang Xiao flew towards him, and another bodyguard fell to the ground with the arrow, and Wu Gong was also hit by the arrow, hitting his shoulder.The remaining force of the arrow made him unsteady, and he staggered two steps backwards, only stopping when he leaned against the stone wall.

Right before Wu Gong's eyes, three or four arrows hit the stone wall, and sparks flew everywhere.

Suddenly, Wu Gong's heart trembled. He pulled out the arrow on his shoulder, stared at the bloody arrow, and gasped.

The arrowhead is exquisitely polished and extremely sharp, exuding a sharp beauty.

These are not the arrows of the Wusun people. Wusun cannot make such good arrows. They are the arrows of the Han people.

The Han people went to the city?Wu Gong's head buzzed, his legs went limp, and he knelt down on the ground with one leg.His knee hit the ground, and the pain pierced his heart and lungs, but Wu Gong didn't feel it.In less than half an hour of the battle, the Han people entered the city. Can the fortress be held?

How did they come up and where?Wu Gong raised his head and looked around anxiously.

No, not a single Han Chinese.

Although the north wind was blowing hard, cutting his face like a knife, there were beads of sweat on Wu Gong's forehead.His face was pale, his heart was beating like a drum, and the cold air rushed to the back of his head, making him feel cold all over.

On the hillside, Liang Xiao frowned slightly.He shot eight arrows and vaguely heard a few screams, but he didn't know if he hit Wugong.Wu Gong's voice is gone. Is he dead or hiding?
He pressed the arrow, breathed slowly, and listened intently.

While Wu Gong was looking for the Han army at the top of the city, the three of Pang Shuo seized the opportunity, gestured to each other, shouted loudly, grabbed the rope with his left hand, pulled the rope around his waist with his right hand, and started to descend.

According to the rehearsal in advance, when they were about ten steps away from the ground, they dropped a cow urine that contained a large amount of plant ash.The cow urine fell to the ground and exploded, and the ash inside flew everywhere, blocking the sight of the Wusun people.

Although the ash was quickly blown away by the wind from the top of the city, it was enough for Pang Shuo and others to land.In the blink of an eye, the three fell to the ground like divine soldiers.As soon as their feet touched the ground, they immediately let go of the ropes, swung their long knives, and charged like tigers into the flock of sheep and Wusun crowd.

Long knives fluttered, and the Wusun people screamed again and again. Several people were beheaded and killed in a short time, and the army was routed.

"Set up the formation! Set up the formation!" Pang Shuo yelled while slashing with his knife.

"Dahu, Lao Niu, come here quickly! Come here quickly!" Liu Qing shouted repeatedly.

Pang Shuo saw that Liu Qing was wielding a knife with one hand, and propped on the ground with the other hand. He tried several times but failed to stand up. It seemed that he had broken his leg.He didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately shouted: "Lao Niu, come closer to me, come closer to me." He said, and ran towards Liu Qing.

The old cow shouted: "Here we come, here we come." As he spoke, he swung his knife and slashed, approaching Pang Shuo and Liu Qing.The Wusun people were still in shock, they were hacked to the point of crying and howling, and they didn't dare to step forward to stop them.

The three leaned together, Lao Niu brandished a long knife and stopped in front, Pang Shuo pulled Liu Qing up and asked, "How is it?"

"The left leg seems to be broken, so it's okay." Liu Qing stood up leaning on it, and said loudly, "Lao Niu, you and Duhu go to open the door. I'm fine."

"Can you do it?"

"It's okay!" Liu Qing held the knife in both hands and shook it vigorously, the long knife buzzed. "Isn't it just a broken leg? I can kill these bulldogs with one hand."

"Okay!" Pang Shuo responded, "Lao Niu, come with me!" After speaking, he swung his long knife and went to the city to kill.

The Wusun people were stunned for a moment, then woke up like a dream, roared in unison, and killed Pang Shuo and others.Pang Shuo and Lao Niu covered each other, danced their long knives like a windmill, and slashed towards the city like a bamboo.Not to be outdone, Liu Qing leaned against the city wall, wielded knives with both hands, and beheaded two Wusun soldiers who rushed up one after another.

Seeing that his companion was cut in two by his opponent, and his corpse was lying on the spot, with blood flowing all over the ground, the Wusun people were so frightened that their faces turned pale.What kind of knife is this, how can it be so powerful.

The city was in chaos, Wu Gong was awakened by the guards, looked around, only saw Liu Qing leaning against the wall fighting, but could not see the other two, and heard the shouts of killing from the city, and then realized The situation is critical.He glanced at Liu Qing, his heart sank suddenly.There were at least five corpses lying in front of Liu Qing, and although the rest surrounded him and shouted loudly, no one dared to fight, obviously they were scared of being killed by Liu Qing.

Wu Gong was furious and ordered his personal guards to fight and kill Liu Qing.

Two personal guards stepped forward with swords in hand, full of murderous intent.

Liu Qing sneered, holding the saber in both hands, exerting enough waist strength, the long saber slashed down obliquely.The guard on the left raised his shield with his left hand to parry, raised his knife with his right, and stabbed it out from under the shield without a sound.Before the tip of the knife touched Liu Qing's plastron, Liu Qing's long knife roared down, split the shield into two pieces, and cut off the guard's neck.The guard screamed in pain and fell to the right.The guard on the right was blocked, and his footsteps faltered. Liu Qing took advantage of the situation and stabbed his long knife forward, hitting his throat.

Kill two lives.

Wu Gong was dumbfounded.Only then did he discover that the five soldiers who had fallen to the ground before had died in terrible conditions. They had either broken arms or broken legs. The spear, with a neat break, was obviously chopped off by someone.

Wu Gong looked at Liu Qing again, his scalp tingling.

A soldier with a broken leg has such fighting power, how invincible will the other two be?Most of the soldiers in the fortress are on the top of the city, and there are only a few people operating the rolling wood and rocks below the city. Can they stop these two wolf-like opponents?

Wu Gong's answer was a few screams, and then the gate of the fortress was pushed open, making a sharp creaking sound.

The fort has been breached!

Wu Gong's mind went blank.A moment later, he woke up like a dream and let out a desperate roar.

"Do not--"

Liang Xiao was under the fortress, saw the gate was open, and was about to greet Tu Niuer and others to rush into the fortress to meet Pang Shuo and others, when he suddenly heard this familiar scream, he stopped without thinking, drew his bow, Shoot four arrows in a row.

Four armor-piercing arrows roared towards Wu Gong, one hit Wu Gong's chest, and the other hit Wu Gong's face.

Wu Gong's screams stopped abruptly, he took two steps back, climbed over the city wall, and landed with a crash, dying with a bang.

Liu Qing saw it clearly, couldn't help opening her eyes wide, and muttered to herself.

"Damn it, this is the real sound shooting skill."

Wu Gong was shot and killed by Liang Xiao, the gate of the fortress was opened, and the Wusun people completely collapsed, no longer thinking about fighting.They put down their weapons and fell to their knees.Liang Xiao, Tu Niuer and others rushed into the fortress first, followed by Cui Liu, Alexander and others.

Tu Xisai was the last to enter the door. As soon as he entered, he rushed to Liang Xiao, held Liang Xiao's hand with both hands, and shook it vigorously. "General, I am convinced, really convinced. Ice Ridge Fortress is such a strong fortress, and you took it without using it for an hour. The general is really a god."

Liang Xiao laughed. "Luck, luck. Chief, take a look, is this Wu Gong's head?"

Tu Xisai took a look and nodded again and again. "Yes, that's him, that's him. Was he killed too?"

"He was shot by the general with an arrow." Liu Qing walked over with a knife, and vividly told how Liang Xiaowen shot and killed Wu Gong.Tu Xisai's eyes were straightened when he heard this, and he pulled Liang Xiao's arm and shook it desperately, but he didn't know what to say.After being stunned for a while, he suddenly reacted and raised his arms and shouted.

"The Arrow God is mighty!"

The Cypriots on the side also seemed to be listening to a myth, and they were all dumbfounded. When they heard Tu Xisai shouted, they raised their arms to echo.

"The arrow god is mighty! The Han army is mighty! The big man is mighty!"

Liang Xiao laughed loudly, shaking his hands again and again. "Boss, you have worked hard, and immediately send Wu Gong's head to Ashina, and give him the list of casualties, and ask him to hand it over to Lie Jiaomi."

"Don't worry, general, I'll set off immediately." Tu Xisai agreed with a thumping sound on his chest.He took Wu Gong's head and Wusun's list of casualties, rushed out of the fortress with two personal guards, got on his horse, galloped away, and disappeared into the mountains.

Liang Xiao let out a long breath, and only then did he feel that his eyes were going black and the sky was spinning.

Tu Niu'er reached out in time to support Liang Xiao.

-

In the dim night, Liang Xiao, who had finished bandaging, was wrapped in sable fur, sitting on the city wall, listening to the north wind whistling in his ears, but his mood was extraordinarily peaceful.

He had won the Bingling Fortress and opened up the road to the grassland. He had already won the war, and the rest was just how to expand the victory.

It is not easy to expand the results of the war, but it is not impossible.Whether it is Dawan people, Yuezhi people, Cypriots or Daxia people, it is a bit difficult to fight tough battles, and it is something that everyone wants to do.

But he wanted to accept it as soon as it was good, and let the Youxian King live.

His reasons for doing this are very good, and they are impeccable. He only used more than a hundred personal guard cavalry, entangled Dawan, Yueshi, and Daxia with a total of less than 8 cavalry, and fought against Lie Jiaomi and Youxian King with a total of [-] , can have such a battle result, no matter who can find fault, they must praise him for using soldiers like a god.Anyone who accused him of not injuring King Youxian would be cast aside by others.

However, he knew in his heart that there was only one reason for him to do this: to support the bandits.

Lie Jiaomi has been disabled, and now the only strong opponent in the Western Regions is the Huns on the right.If the Youxian King is disabled again, then the Western Regions will really be at peace.Next, what should he do?
Back to Chang'an?This is obviously not a good choice.Even if he is willing, Tu Niu'er and others are not willing.What's more, he himself didn't want to.

So far, he has not received any news from Chang'an, and he does not know how the Zhangtang case is progressing.But he knew very well that if he couldn't continue to exert pressure, even if the emperor killed Zhang Tang, he would not change his mind, and there would be other cruel officials on the stage in the future.

In "Hanshu·Biography of Cool Officials", at least half of the cruel officials came from Emperor Wu's dynasty, and there were more in the later period than in the early period.Zhang Tang was neither the first nor the last.

Similarly, those famous generals who were named Marquis due to meritorious service did not end well in the end, and Li Guang and Wei Qing were just representatives of them.Based on his previous "backtracking", the possibility that the emperor will not deal with him is infinitely close to zero.

He doesn't trust the emperor, and the emperor doesn't trust him, how do the two get along?
missing is worse than meeting.Falling in love and killing each other is worse than forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes.

The problem is how to prevent the emperor from thinking that the warriors are not credible, and thus interrupt the reform plan.Liang Xiao thought about it, but still couldn't think of any foolproof plan.

At this moment, he missed Dongfang Shuo very much.

Hope he is still alive.

Chigu City.

Ma Rong sat across from Dongfang Shuo, sipping his wine slowly.

Dongfang Shuo turned the wine glass in his hand and looked at Ma Rong with a half-smile.After a while, he also took a sip of wine. "So, Liang Boming has decided not to return to Chang'an?"

Ma Rong nodded, and said with a light smile: "I think what the general meant, he should have thought about it a long time ago, but he just didn't know it."

"That's true, he's not a stern official." Dongfang Shuo smiled brighter. "Zijin, with him, a victorious general, in charge of the overall situation, the Western Regions are our world, and we are all the ministers who founded the country. We are not as comfortable as going back to Chang'an to be a little lord? Tell me, where do you want to be happy?"

Ma Rong thought for a while, then shook his head. "I want to visit Greece."

"Greece?" Dongfang Shuo laughed loudly, pointing at Ma Rong. "Your heart is running wild, and you can't rest. In my opinion, I will make you a Marquis of Bo Wang in the future. You have a wide range of views and a wealth of knowledge."

Ma Rong also laughed out loud. "A gentleman is ashamed of not knowing. I didn't know the size of the world before. I only knew how to bury my head in my study and wear some old papers. Now that I have opened my eyes, I know that the world is so big that no sage can explain it all. We have a lot to do place."

Dongfang Shuo nodded. "That's right, Taoism and art depend on each other, and you can't neglect it. Taoism can make people look at the top, and art can make people down-to-earth. In these two aspects, Liang Boming is the world's leading hero. If you want to go to Greece, go and see what the Romans are doing. What the hell, we should have prepared in advance. There was an Alexander in the past, and he marched all the way to Dawan. Who knows if there will be another wizard now. Only by knowing the enemy and the confidant can we win every battle."

"What you said is very true." Ma Rong paused, and then said: "Will Mr. Liang agree?"

"You don't have to worry about it, just leave it to me." Dongfang Shuo raised his glass and gestured to Ma Rong.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank it all in one gulp.
