If you miss a move, don't move or kick. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

King Youxian saw Liang Xiao's emptiness and reality, and rushed hundreds of miles in one go, intent on catching Liang Xiao, but he didn't expect to be run away by Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao didn't run back to the canyon, and the interception of people and horses arranged in advance lost its meaning, and he watched Liang Xiao go east.

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 Hunt Jiaomi to lose both?

Continuing to chase is a huge test for the Right Virtuous King. Long-distance marching, the requirements for soldiers and horses are very high, the Huns feed on cattle and sheep, and the logistics baggage includes a large number of cattle and sheep. If Liang Xiao is pursued, the distance between him and the baggage battalion will be opened for dozens or even hundreds of miles, and this distance may leave Liang Xiao with a chance.

If you don't chase it, in case Liang Xiao kills Hunter Jiaomi and annexes the Wusun people, his strength will grow, and he is likely to raise tigers.

After weighing it repeatedly, King Youxian decided to chase it again.

Even so, he had a headache over the speed of the pursuit. Liang Xiao is a young man and a strong horse, and he runs fast, he can't keep up, so he can only stay far away, relying on a large number of scouts to run back and forth to deliver news, which is a very painful thing. When Liang Xiao drilled into a certain canyon, it would be difficult for him to find him again.

Youxian Wang gritted his teeth and insisted, on the one hand, he was excited about the possibility of catching Liang Xiao, and on the other hand, he was so nervous that he might be eaten by Liang Xiao, and the string in his head was about to break.

Liang Xiao was also nervous. It was very easy for him to get rid of the Right Virtuous King, even if he didn't find a valley to hide, just with the difference in the speed of the war horse, he could make the Right Virtuous King not even look at the horse's buttocks. The problem is that he doesn't dare to let go of running, he runs too fast, and what can he do if he joins up with Ayana and Doros?

Based on the ratio of the strength of the two sides, even if Ajana and Doros can kill the hunters and inflict heavy losses on the Wusun people, their own losses will not be small. Don't even breathe, and fight with the Huns? It's just looking for death. In case they fail to kill the arrogance of hunting, the two sides are stalemate, and it will be a disaster to bring the Huns over at this time.

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

The hemp pole is afraid of beating the wolf, but in the final analysis, Liang Xiao's worry is even greater. Although the Right Virtuous King seems to be passive, he has strength in his hands and has no fear. The two sides worked hard one after the other, and chased out more than 100 miles in one day. The moment they saw the sunset, Liang Xiao and Youxian Wang, who were more than ten miles apart, 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 the Right Virtuous King while waiting for news from Ayana and Doros.

He didn't know if the Right Virtuous King saw through his reality as he thought, but he must have a certain degree of certainty in the face of the relentless pursuit of the Right Virtuous King. After all, the Right Virtuous King is the Right Virtuous King, although his strength is not as good as before, but after all, he is still a hero on the grassland, and this insight is still there. It is not easier to deal with such a person than it is to deal with the arrogance of hunting.

If Ah Xian can't handle the hunt arrogance, the right virtuous king and the hunting arrogance will meet, what should I do?

Thinking of this result, Liang Xiao was a little big, but he had to think about this problem. As it stands, this is almost a probable outcome. Counting from the canyon, he had already run eastward for more than sixty miles, and saw a large number of Wusun corpses along the way, but he did not see the shadow of Ayana and the others, indicating that the battle was not over yet.

The Greek cavalry is good for attacking fortifications, not conducive to pursuit, and the farther the distance, the less powerful. Ayana and Doros chased so far and couldn't seal the victory, and the situation may not be good. The farther they chase, the lower the win rate, and the more unfavorable the battle will be for them.

For Liang Xiao, this is certainly not an outcome he wants to see. But at this point, he could only face it.

Liang Xiao sat in front of the campfire, chewing a piece of rat meat while thinking about his thoughts. The Huns cut off the back road and failed to retreat to the canyon in time, and the food of the men and horses became a problem. War horses can barely feed themselves with pasture, and people can only rely on hunting. Fortunately, these knights were all masters of riding and archery, and the Ili River valley was vast and full of wild things, but they could not be hungry.

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

The others didn't see anything wrong with it, especially the mercenaries of Firefox and Alexander as a Greek boy who grew up herding sheep on the steppe. They ate very happily, and some even sighed that they hadn't eaten such a delicacy for many years, which made Liang Xiao cry and laugh.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Liang Xiao was the first to hear it, and then looked into the distance.

Two horses galloped in, one of whom was Liang Xiao's subordinate Cui Liu, one of the messengers sent to contact Ayana and Doros. The other is a member of the Yue family, the personal guard next to Ah Xiana, whose name seems to be Victor. Liang Xiao had seen him many times, and when he saw him coming, he couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart. The situation on Ajuna's side may not be very good, otherwise it would not be so cautious.

Liang Xiao took a breath quietly, keeping himself calm and not showing panic. It will be the courage of an army, he is the soul of this army, and if he wavers in anything, the impact on morale will be fatal.

Victor rushed to Liang Xiao and glanced at Liang Xiao's face first. Seeing that Liang Xiao's expression was calm, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his chest, and said in a stiff Chinese dialect: "Victor, the guard next to Da Lu, has seen the general. ”

"Sit." Liang Xiao pointed to the opposite side, motioned for Victor to sit down, and handed over another skewer of meat. "I'm tired, let's eat something first."

"Thank you, General." Victor took the meat and nibbled it clean in a few bites. He wiped his mouth and said, "General......"

"Wait, let me guess first." Liang Xiao resisted the urge to scold his mother and said with a smile: "Dalu is less than a hundred miles away from here, right?" Well, in the White Valley. Was his camp camped next to a waterfall? ”

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

Liang Xiao smiled bitterly to himself, but his face did not change, and he was as calm as ever.

"You can't get out of the valley because of the arrogance of hunting, and you can't get in, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Victor's head nodded like a rattle, and his eyes were straight. Before he could speak, Liang Xiao said the location of Ah Xiana, and guessed the battle situation, could it be that all this was a plan he had made?

Liang Xiao didn't think there was anything strange.

It is not difficult to know the location of Ashana, and from the time of the messenger's back and forth, it can be roughly inferred that the most likely battlefield in this area is Hakuya. Even if you can't decide the winner for two days, it's definitely a confrontation. If he was a hunter and was in that environment, he would also choose the White Valley as the battlefield, and the Assana would also choose the waterfall as the campsite for safety and convenience.

Being able to make such a guess was inseparable from his familiarity with the terrain of the valley, but he would not tell Victor why. At this moment, he needs to pretend to be a ghost to boost morale.

Sure enough, it was a disaster that did not go alone, and the blessing did not come together, Ah Xiana not only failed to kill Hunt Jiaomi, but was lured by Hunt Jiaomi to attack the fortification. Is this Dalu position bought in exchange for sleeping with the queen? Since you haven't been able to get rid of the hunt, let's withdraw quickly, why are you still confronted. Do you have enough food and grass, do you have the equipment to attack, are you more familiar with the terrain here than you are to hunt for arrogance, how could you make such a stupid decision?

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

"Yes." Victor couldn't hide his admiration. "Da Lu trapped the hunting arrogance, and originally wanted to ask the general to help. Hearing that the Huns were coming, Dalu wanted to know more about the general's arrangements, so as to cooperate with the general's actions. ”

Liang Xiao nodded and didn't say anything more. He asked about a number of other information, in particular casualties on both sides. The enemy is outnumbered, and once there are heavy casualties, it is difficult to make up for it. After hearing so much bad news, this time he finally heard a little good news.

"Casualties? There are no casualties! has been chasing the Wusun people to kill, except for those who fell from their horses, almost no injuries were injured. Victor scratched his head. However, later Hunter Jiao hid in the mountains, and we suffered a small loss, killing dozens of people. However, as soon as Da Lu saw that the situation was not right, he immediately withdrew his troops and prepared to trap and kill the arrogance. ”

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

"What about the Great Xia people?"

"They." Victor showed a little envy and jealousy. "They're even finer. There are heavy armor and body protection, the knife can't be slashed, the arrow can't be pierced, except for the one whose horse misses the front hoof, there are many of them. ”

"What about them?"

"It's not far ahead." Cui Liu interjected: "On the way here, I saw them. General Doros wanted to come with us, but I was afraid that they would be tired, so I asked them to find a place to stay and wait for orders. ”

"Well, that's good." Liang Xiao nodded appreciatively. The heavy armor rider was left alone, and Doros was understandably panicked, but it would be irrational for him to run over to meet him, and Cui Liu's decision to advocate without permission was very wise. "Did Doros say where it was?"

"Wolf Gorge ahead." Cui Liu was praised by Liang Xiao, a little proud. "He didn't think about it for a while, I followed the general to look at the map, and remembered that there was a wild wolf gorge here that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so I let them go there. The general can rest assured, with more than a thousand Cypriots following him, he will definitely find the Wild Wolf Gorge and will not get lost. ”

Liang Xiao was speechless. These guys can't boast, and when they boast, they their tails.

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

"General, you say."

"Victor, you rush back to the camp and tell Da Lu, just trap the hunter arrogant, don't attack. Prepare to retreat, and as soon as I arrive, you will break the siege and leave. ”

"Good!" Victor didn't have any doubts at all, nodded in agreement, and took it upon himself to catch a few half-baked mice, chew a few bites, swallow them, and wipe his mouth away.

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

"Still to the east?" Cui Liu was a little surprised.

"That's right, continue east." Liang Xiao said while thinking. "A rider is slow, let them go first. Aren't there Cypriots following them? Tell Doros to arrange for a few Cypriots to go back, inform as many Cypriots as possible and prepare them to retreat eastward. Everything that can be taken away is taken away, and we have to let the Huns get nothing but water and grass. ”

"The walls are clear." Cui Liu suddenly realized. "I see, I'll go now."

Liang Xiao stopped Cui Liu. "How do you speak Serbia?"

"It's okay, it's no problem to lie to a girl." Cui Liu said with a grin. The subordinates on the side laughed. Most of them are the same as Cui Liu, not people who keep to themselves. When I arrived in Dawan, I seduced the Dawan girl, and when I arrived at the Yueshi, I seduced the Yueshi woman, and when I arrived in the Ili River Valley, I didn't drill the tents of the people.

"Okay, then, as my envoy, you will contact the Cypriots and explain my tactical arrangements."

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

Liang Xiao said to the red-eyed subordinates: "Don't be blushing, when can you be a caring person like Cui Liu, memorize the terrain, know what to do when to do it, and I will also let you fly solo." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and the mood was high for a while.

Cui Liu and Victor had a full meal, then changed a few war horses and hurriedly left.

Liang Xiao pondered again. He thought about it, called a few guards who usually behaved well, gave a general description of the situation in front of him, and then said: "Test you, if you are the generals of this war, how will you deal with the Wusun and Huns?" ”

The guards looked at each other, you pushed me, I pushed you, and laughed for a while, and soon someone took the initiative to stand up. "General, I think this should be done, let's retreat east. The east is high, the west is low, the further east we go, the better the terrain advantage we have, and when the time comes, we will go down and kill them......"

Before he could finish speaking, another guard stood up. "You are, if you want to talk about the terrain suitable for the charge, why bother to the east, you can do it here. Wouldn't it be better to kill the Huns first and then the Wusun than to let them converge and then kill them? ”

The interrupted guards were in a hurry. "Didn't I follow the general's plan and drag the Huns for a while? It has only dragged on for a day, and the Huns have not been dragged to the ground, of course, they will have to walk a few hundred miles eastward. ”

"And, you don't use the general as a shield. The general said that he would drag the Huns for a while, but why did he say that he would have to walk hundreds of miles? We don't have enough baggage, and after a few hundred miles, the Huns have not collapsed, and we will collapse first. ”

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

Looking at the guards, you say a word, I say a word, not modest at all, really regard himself as a general commanding thousands of troops and horses, Liang Xiao felt both funny and emotional. These ranger boys are really high-spirited and fearless.

Who's to say, though, that they don't have a point? In these seemingly unreasonable analyses, who would dare to say that they will not come up with a truly feasible solution.

Unity is strength.
