Chapter 630: Half-crossing

Liang Xiao persuaded Ah Xiana and the others to attack Hunt Jiaomi first, but they did not set off simply. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If you don't plan carefully and make sure everyone understands their mission and puts it in place, there is a 90% chance of losing this battle.

Liang Xiao brought the map and carefully explained his tactical arrangements.

"At present, the hunt is about 300 miles away from us, if we take the initiative to rush over, we will become a tired soldier, hunt the arrogance to wait for work, we will definitely lose. If we want to defeat the strong with the weak, we must mobilize the hunt to come to us, and let him run exhausted, so that we have a chance to hit with one blow. ”

Liang Xiao looked at Doros. "Can you take this opportunity?"

Doros tugged at his beard and rolled his eyes. "If I had the chance, I could do it."

"Then you're ready. I'll find a way to lure you into the hunt, and you'll have only one mission. Liang Xiao raised his palm and slashed it down. A charge, slashing the hunter under the horse. ”

"Okay!" Doros rubbed his hands together and was excited.

Liang Xiao's gaze turned to Ah Xiana and said with a smile: "Da Lu, you have to be mentally prepared, we will lose for a while and be a deserter." ”

Asana smiled. "You say, how to escape, we Yue people have not escaped. As long as you can win, what does it matter if you are a deserter. ”

"It would be great if Da Lu could think so. You guard the canyon, all the wounded soldiers and baggage are here, you must guard it well, and you must not make any mistakes. ”

"What? Let me guard the canyon? He was stunned, he waited for a long time, and was about to fight with Liang Xiao, but he didn't expect Liang Xiao to let him stay in the canyon. He was in a hurry. "General, I'm not good at defending the city, so let's change someone."

"For whom?" Liang Xiao smiled. "Who else here but me is better at staying behind than you? And the princess will stay in the canyon and hand it over to someone else, so I don't worry. ”

Frying smacked his lips and didn't fight again. Although he was a little regretful, he could also hear that this was Liang Xiao's trust in him. Except for him, Liang Xiao was not at ease when the canyon was handed over to anyone. As General Dawan, it is his honor to protect the safety of the princess, and it is also his unshirkable responsibility.

"Okay." Yan Mi nodded.

Liang Xiao immediately called the Cypriots, asked them to rush back immediately, gather the tribes, and spread a message: Liang Xiao will work with the Cypriots to fight and hunt arrogance, avenge the Cypriots, and invite people from all tribes to send people and horses to work together to break the arrogance of hunting.

When the Cypriots heard this, they were overjoyed and took their leave.

After the Cypriots left, Liang Xiao sent a large number of elite cavalry to vigorously clear the Wusun and Huns within 30 miles of the east and west of the canyon, and made a posture of attacking in a big way.

――

Hunter waved his hand and motioned for the Cypriot prisoners he had just captured to be escorted down.

He didn't believe much of what the Cypriots were saying. He felt that these Cypriots had fallen for Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao only had five or six thousand people, how could he rush to the aid of the Cypriots. Even if all the cavalry did not have the ability to run three hundred miles to engage in battle, by the time they arrived here, they were exhausted and could not fight any longer, which was equivalent to death.

Liang Xiao is proficient in cavalry combat, and it is impossible for him not to know these common senses, so this must be fake.

Then why did Liang Xiao say this, was he just fooling people?

Hunting arrogantly was not at ease, while gathering men and horses to prepare for battle, he sent a large number of scouts to the canyon to inquire about the news and see what Liang Xiao's movements were.

Two days later, a scout returned. They didn't see Liang Xiao's shadow, and they couldn't even accept the canyon. Within thirty miles of the canyon became a forbidden area, and scouts composed of Han and Yueshi people pursued and killed the Wusun people everywhere, causing them heavy casualties. These scouts rode Dawan horses, which were fast, had good stamina, and were armed with sniper crossbows with a long range, and the Wusun people were often killed by cold arrows before they could see the enemy.

Hunting arrogant and nervous. Hunting down scouts is often a prelude to action. Liang Xiao is planning to attack? It's just not known if he's going east or west. Hunting Jiaomi repeatedly deduced, but still felt that Liang Xiao was unlikely to go west, whether from the comparison of troops or from the distance, attacking the Huns to the west was the most reasonable choice for Liang Xiao.

Just when Hunt Jiaomi couldn't make up his mind, more and more Cypriots appeared around the camp, although they did not dare to attack the Wusun people, but the frequent approach reconnaissance also made the Wusun people nervous. Hunter Jiao strengthened his guard, but his attention was not attracted by these Cypriots. On the contrary, he became more and more convinced that he was right, that these Cypriots were nothing more than Liang Xiao's suspicious soldiers, and that his real target was probably the Huns.

Hunting Jiaomi left 5,000 horsemen to guard against the Cypriots, and led the main force to move westward. He ordered everyone to be vigilant, and without unarmouring or saddle, he immediately prepared for battle.

One morning, two scouts delivered the long-awaited news. Last night, they were lucky enough to sneak near the canyon and saw Liang Xiao quietly leaving the gorge and heading west.

Hearing the news, Hunting Jiao's heart that had been hanging for a long time finally relaxed, but it didn't last long, and it was mentioned again. He was relieved because Liang Xiao's tactical arrangement was as he expected, to attack the Huns in the west. The nervousness is also because of this. Liang Xiao went out of the valley in the evening, and according to the time, it should have rushed to the Huns' camp at Ling Ming, rested for a while, and just launched an attack.

This is Liang Xiao's best sneak attack tactic, and that's how he defeated Youxian King back then.

Hunting arrogance is very uneasy. He didn't know if King Youxian would count Liang Xiao's plan. If it is not calculated, Liang Xiao may succeed in a sneak attack, and the Huns will suffer heavy losses. If the Right Virtuous King counts, then he will also face a fierce battle. Although Liang Xiao's strength is limited, his combat effectiveness is very strong, and with the cooperation of his foot soldiers, he may even defeat the Right Xian King and achieve the final victory.

At that time, he used the tactics of infantry and cavalry to defeat the Huns in Hexi.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and on the one hand, he sent scouts to inform King Youxian to be on guard, and on the other hand, he led an army of 20,000 to set off to support King Youxian, seize the mouth of the gorge, and cut off Liang Xiao's retreat, so as not to prevent him from retreating into the canyon again to hold on.

Although it was determined that Liang Xiao was more likely to attack the Huns, he was very cautious. He informed the whole army that when there were still fifty miles from the mouth of the gorge, they should be ready for battle and control the speed of the march, so that the men and horses would not be tired and would not be able to fight due to lack of physical strength in the event of an attack.

More than 20,000 Wusun cavalry hurried westward.

――

Liang Xiao held his clairvoyant eyes and carefully observed the Wusun people who were crossing the river in the distance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head.

Hunting arrogance is really cautious. Although he arrived, he was not given much opportunity, and the marching army was very rigorous, and there were few flaws to speak of. This, which he had felt when he had observed the camp of the Hunting Spirit, had now confirmed it with his own eyes.

However, that doesn't mean he doesn't have a chance. Hunting arrogance has been mobilized by him, and strategically, he has seized the opportunity. Next, whether Hunt Jiaomi can always be so cautious, it depends on how much temptation Hunt Jiaomi can resist and give Doros a chance to behead.

Liang Xiao raised his hand and made a gesture to Ah Xiana in the distance.

In the clairvoyance, Ah Xiana waved her hands vigorously and responded.

Liang Xiao put away his clairvoyance, took off the black bow, moved the quiver to the right position, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and took the lead in rushing out of the battle formation.

Tu Niu'er and the others followed closely, and Alexander and the others accelerated their horses, and gradually grabbed the front of Liang Xiao, forming a charging formation.

The sound of war drums broke the silence in the valley, and more than 1,000 Dawan cavalry and more than 1,000 Cypriot cavalry followed closely behind Liang Xiao and killed the Wusun people in the distance. The horses ran faster and faster, and the sound of the horses' hooves became more and more urgent, and gradually converged into a thunderbolt and rolled away.

At the same time, Ajuna also led the cavalry of the Three Thousand Moon Clan, rushed out of the hiding place, followed behind Liang Xiao, and killed the Wusun people.

Hearing the sound of war drums and horns, the Wusun people who were crossing the river were taken aback, and immediately spread the news to the Chinese army, adjusted the formation, and the war horses accelerated, and greeted Liang Xiao and others. The two sides quickly approached, and the horses accelerated and entered a state of rushing and killing.

Liang Xiao raised the black bow and shot a sparkle.

Mingdi let out a sharp roar and flew into the sky, announcing the beginning of the battle.

The crossbowmen of the Han army took the lead, dozens of crossbow arrows left the string, flew out of two or three hundred steps, and several Wusun knights who rushed to the front fell from their horses with arrows, and then they were drowned by the galloping war horses and disappeared in the rolling torrent.

The two sides approached and drove in the same direction. Liang Xiao and the others seized the vantage point on the right side, drew their bows and shot, throwing bursts of arrows at the Wusun people. The Usun people are located on the left side, and it is difficult to show real archery skills except for archers who can shoot left and right. They could only gallop with all their might, hoping to rush through the arrow array, entangle Liang Xiao, buy time for Hunter Jiaomi, and create an opportunity to kill Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao and others rained down arrows, and one after another Wusun people fell to the ground with arrows. Before the two sides could make contact, hundreds of Wusun people were killed by arrows.

The two sides came into contact, and the knights led by Alexander jumped on their horses and speared and killed the Wusun people.

The crossbowmen raised their pulley crossbows, looking for worthy targets and sniping calmly.

Liang Xiao and Firefox and other archers raised their bows and shot at will, shooting one by one Wusun warriors.

Under the cover of the warriors of the Han army, the Dawan knights and the Cypriots had no distractions, and they opened their bows and arrows to shoot as much as they could, shooting batch after batch of arrows into the formation of the Wusun people. Unlike Liang Xiao and others, who focus on hit rate, they don't aim at all, they just want to shoot as fast as possible and shoot as many arrows as possible.

The Wusun suffered heavy losses.

Although they have been controlling their speed and are not particularly tired, after all, they have just walked more than a hundred miles, and their physical strength has inevitably been affected. However, Liang Xiao and the others were waiting for work at ease and full of energy, and there was a big gap between the two sides in terms of physical strength, especially in the physical strength of the war horses. Liang Xiao chose a favorable position and placed the Wusun people on a very awkward left side, so that the Wusun people could not shoot, and they had the upper hand again. In terms of local forces, Liang Xiao also has an advantage.

The right flank of the Wusun people only had more than 3,000 horsemen, and in the face of the 5,000 horsemen led by Liang Xiao and Ajuna, they were completely at a disadvantage, falling into a situation of being passively beaten, and they could not see any chance of improvement in a short period of time.

The Wusun people were extremely depressed, and they could only blow the horn for help again and again, and asked Hunter Jiaomi to send the main force to support as soon as possible.

Hearing the sound of the horn, Hunter Jiao was also a little anxious. Liang Xiao's choice of this time made him very uncomfortable. When he was crossing the river, the army was facing each other across the river, and even if he had the heart to rescue, he could not cross the river quickly, so he could only watch the cavalry on the right flank fight alone. Although he couldn't see the specific situation, judging from the momentum and position of both sides, the losses of the cavalry on the right flank would not be small. If they can't be rescued in time, they may even be wiped out.

Liang Xiao was so arrogant that he actually wanted to eat his right wing in front of him and cut off his right arm.

While trying his best to remind himself to calm down, he ordered the cavalry on the rear flank to speed up the crossing of the river, go around to Liang Xiao's right side, seize the advantageous terrain, and further outflank Liang Xiao, so as not to let Liang Xiao escape. Compared with the loss of the cavalry on the right, Hunter Jiaomi was more worried about Liang Xiao leaving with one blow. This place is only about thirty miles away from the mouth of the gorge, if Liang Xiao wants to leave, he will not hesitate to escape, it will be difficult for him to prevent Liang Xiao from escaping back to the canyon.

After spending so much effort, isn't it just to lure Liang Xiao out of the canyon, if he is allowed to escape back, it will be in vain.

For this purpose, Hunt Jiaomi's first reaction was not to support the cavalry on the right, but to intercept Liang Xiao.

Unfortunately, the situation is still going in the direction he least wants to see. After Liang Xiao hit the right flank of the Wusun people, he did not slow down, but ran faster and faster, and went west without looking back. Although the right flank of the Wusun people suffered heavy losses, they could not be held back by their best efforts, and the rear flank that rushed out could not achieve their tactical goal of intercepting Liang Xiao. They chased after Liang Xiao, but they were never able to narrow the distance between them.

Seeing that he was about to break away from the main force, the generals in the rear wing had to blow the trumpet to ask Lie Jiaomi for instructions, whether to continue the pursuit, or give up and let Liang Xiao leave.

Hunter Jiaomi was so anxious that he ordered to continue the pursuit, and at the same time ordered the Chinese army to turn around and stop Liang Xiao no matter what, and not let him leave like this.

The horn whined, the Wusun people galloped back and forth, and the people shouted and neighed, and there was a hustle and bustle.

Seeing that Hunter was bent on stopping himself, Liang Xiao was overjoyed. While shooting, he gave the order to accelerate the breakout. He didn't want to be surrounded by arrogant superior forces. The drums of war sounded, and the Dawan and Sai people took the lead in speeding up and rushed out before the Wusun people surrounded them, but Liang Xiao and the others slowed down their horses and fell behind, blocking the pursuit of the Wusun people with accurate archery.

Immediately afterwards, Ajuna led the Yue's cavalry to rush over.

Liang Xiao and the others broke off, and rode and shot. The Wusun people were so embarrassed by their superb archery skills that from time to time someone fell from their horses with arrows and suffered heavy losses, but they had nothing to do, so they had to kick their horses and chase them closely.

Nearly 10,000 horses on both sides rode horses and galloped on the grassland, chasing and fighting, and unknowingly left the main force of the Wusun people.

Hunter Jiaomi was so anxious that as soon as he crossed the river, he chased after him with two thousand guards.

No matter how big the risk is, he has to catch up with Liang Xiao, and he must not let him escape back to the canyon.
