Chapter 311: Can, Show Can't
PS: Merry Christmas! Where is the gift?
The veterans were full of anger, made a fierce move, and occupied a favorable terrain, and killed the Huns as soon as they made a move. Although they were also armed with spears, their spear skills were not at all on the same level as those of these veterans. The veterans not only killed themselves fiercely, but also cooperated with each other tacitly, one set up the opponent's weapon, the other entered with a short body, and the spear was distracted and stabbed, and the Huns were stabbed before they had time to react.
The spears and swords of the Huns fell on the shields and clanged.
The spears of the veterans pierced into the bodies of the Huns, who screamed and screamed.
It was just a meal, the Huns could not hold on, half of them had fallen in a pool of blood, and the rest were cowardly and began to retreat. Seeing this, the veterans on the hillside outflanked them from both sides, intending to intercept the retreat of the Huns. When the Huns saw this, they were even more frightened, and then they were defeated. The veterans chased after more than ten steps, and some of them threw out the spears in their hands, stabbing the fleeing Huns in the heart.
The Huns cried wolf howls and crawled down the hill, throwing sixty or seventy corpses on the hillside, and blood gushing down the hillside and soaking into the meadow. The smell of blood was thick in the air, but the Greek veterans were excited, slamming their spears against their shields and letting out a proud roar.
Liang Xiao was overjoyed. The veterans showed more strength than he expected, and he knew he would win, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
Looking at the excited eyes of the veterans who hugged and laughed at each other, Liang Xiao smiled. He looked at the Huns down the hillside and had a new plan. He called the veterans. Check for injuries. Several veterans suffered flesh wounds. But they didn't care. On the contrary, he laughed louder, and had a heroic attitude of using blood as wine.
Liang Xiao said: "Now in rotation, the people who have just fought retreat to the rear, and the injured people hurry up and bandage, and they are not allowed to go into battle without my order." ”
Before the words fell, the veterans expressed strong dissatisfaction, especially those veterans who were only slightly injured but were ordered by Liang Xiao to leave the front line. It was as if he had been greatly insulted.
"My lord, we haven't killed yet, how can we retreat?"
"My lord, what can I do with a little skin injury? I have just slain and risen up, how can I stand back? ”
Liang Xiao smiled slightly: "Haven't killed Chang Happy?" ”
"Nope." The veterans said in unison.
"Well, I'll kill you today. But listen to me. Liang Xiao pointed to the Huns under the mountain. If you see it, we will kill all the Huns here, and not one will be left. ”
The veterans were overjoyed. I was a little skeptical. Liang Xiao believes in their combat effectiveness, which is of course a good thing. But the Huns are not stupid, how can they continue to rush upwards despite suffering heavy casualties?
"Don't believe me?" Liang Xiaole was happy. He crouched down, drew a sketch on the ground, and talked about the tactics he had just devouted.
He was worried that the disparity in strength would not last long for the veterans, so he used drastic means to fight back strongly, intending to scare off the Huns. But now seeing that the veterans' combat strength is still there, if they make good use of the terrain, they can completely win more with less, and he naturally has a bigger calculation.
When he first learned art from Huan Yuan, Huan Yuan dictated the art of war, first emphasizing the terrain. Under his ear, Liang Xiao developed a good habit of carefully inspecting the terrain everywhere he went. Even on a fast march. It is precisely because of this that when he encounters a strong enemy, he can command his subordinates to retreat to the hillside in time.
After going up the hill and checking the nearby terrain, he had a new plan. The slope of this hill is not very steep overall, but there are several mesas that they are now on the edge of the lowest mesas. The reason why it was difficult for the Huns to rush up was that the slope of the step they had to take was a little larger than the entire hillside. After rushing onto this platform, there will be a flat ground fifty paces wide and thirty paces long.
Liang Xiao decided to take advantage of this difference in slope to lure the enemy. On the one hand, he asked the veterans not to fight back too violently, to have spare strength, to make a false appearance that they were not strong, not to scare the Huns away, to make them feel that they still have the possibility of victory, and continue to attack. On the other hand, he gradually retreated the battle line until the Huns under the hillside could not see the real situation on the battlefield.
After listening to this, the veterans suddenly realized and praised them repeatedly.
Pu Jia stood aside and heard Liang Xiao's entire plan, feeling a little more in awe and a little more happy. Because of his weak strength, he has fought many aggrieved battles, but it is the first time he has seen someone so deliberately show weakness. It seems to be a casual retreat, but it contains extremely sinister intentions. If he is a Hun and does not know what is going on, I am afraid that he will not understand what is going on until he dies.
Fortunately, he and Liang Xiao are friends, not enemies.
Liang Xiao finished arranging, stood up, and saw that Pu Jia's expression was wrong, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with the king?" ”
"Oh, nothing, nothing." Pu Jia came back to his senses and was embarrassed.
Liang Xiao didn't care, and called a few mercenary archers and gave them an order.
Like the veterans, he asked the archers to reduce the frequency of shooting, creating the false appearance of insufficient numbers and limited blocking strength, and at the same time strengthen the sniping of key targets to avoid the situation getting out of control. This is a bit demanding for ordinary archers, but it is not difficult for these mercenary archers. Along the way, every time they fought, they formed the first line of fire suppression with Liang Xiao, using accurate archery skills to make up for the lack of numbers and inflict heavy casualties on the enemy.
Eight skilled archers were gathered together, and their power was no worse than that of fifty ordinary archers.
When Liang Xiao was deploying tactics, Dadang was also asking about the situation of the battle. The Hun soldiers who returned from the rout were shocked, and unconsciously exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Greek veterans, saying that they were extremely powerful. The soldier said it too exaggeratedly, but although he didn't believe it, he didn't believe it very much. He saw the whole process with his own eyes, and the Greek veterans were indeed not weak, but they were not so strong.
Although he drank back those defeated soldiers, he changed to a new group of people and decided to try again. If it still didn't work, he decided to give up. For him, in order to catch Liang Xiao. He can pay a price. But if there is no hope at all. Death in vain, then there is no need.
Another round of fighting began, and under the cover of the archers, a hundred Huns rushed up the hill with trepidation.
To their surprise, they did not suffer the hardest blows they had imagined, and the Greek veterans, although tenacious, were somewhat loosened under their attacks. Slowly move backwards. The Huns were overjoyed, their morale was high, and they called for a fierce battle. Although the veterans were reluctant, in order to completely annihilate the Huns, they had to follow Liang Xiao's orders, retreating in an orderly manner, while deliberately making a nervous appearance and shouting loudly.
The battle line slowly moved, gradually moving out of the gaze of the tune.
Seeing that his subordinates had the upper hand, he scratched his ears and cheeks with joy. He believed more and more that those people were lying just now, obviously because he was incompetent. But he blew those veterans like gods of war. Originally, how could an old man with white hair have such a strong combat power.
I heard the shouting and killing on the hillside, but my eyes couldn't see the real-time battle situation on the battlefield. It's a pity that even if these people reached the hillside, they were sniped by Liang Xiao and others as soon as they appeared, and they had no chance to report the battle situation to the tune. Even the Hun archers who were in charge of covering stopped shooting, for fear of injuring their own people by mistake.
This time, the two sides were entangled for half an hour, and the veterans "reluctantly" repelled the Huns. Although the Huns were squeezed down, the casualties were not small, but their mental state was completely different. They excitedly told the tune that the Greek veterans were terrifying, but their actual physical strength was limited, and they couldn't support it after a long time, and many of them were injured and couldn't fight again. If it weren't for the small number of them, they would have been able to capture the positions of the Greek veterans this time.
Although he was overjoyed, he again sent two hundred men to attack.
This time the battle was even more intense, the two sides fought for most of the hour, and the Huns kept forcing the Greek veterans back more than thirty paces, and encountered a new slope, which was blocked. Seeing that the two sides were "deadlocked", Liang Xiao and others rushed up to "reinforcements", and the Huns were not to be outdone, and they also urgently sounded the trumpet, asking for additional reinforcements.
Although he was overjoyed, he sent two hundred men again.
The battle became more and more intense, the front repeatedly moved back, more veterans were either "wounded" or "physically exhausted" and withdrew from the front, and the Huns were even more excited, launching wave after wave of attacks, one after the other, completely "occupying" the advantage.
Looking at the Huns who didn't know the height of the sky, the Greek veterans who were forced to accompany them to act were so angry that their nostrils smoked, but they didn't dare to disobey Liang Xiao's order, so they could only take turns to rest, maintain their physical strength, and prepare for the final counterattack.
Although the Huns had the upper hand, they were eventually squeezed down the hillside because of their lack of numbers. They were frustrated, and gathered around to ask for orders to strike again. They patted their chests and swore that as long as they arranged enough troops and launched another attack, they could win and take Liang Xiao one more time.
In the three attacks, the cumulative casualties have exceeded 300. Although the advantages are becoming more and more obvious, although he still feels that the casualties are not small. Just when he was hesitating, someone found that Liang Xiao and the others were retreating into the mountains, and there were signs of escape.
When he heard this, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately launched a new round of attacks. This time, he left a hundred people to guard the war horses, and he personally led more than 700 people to attack, striving to decide the victory in a battle and capture Liang Xiao.
Seeing that most of the Huns were pressed, although he personally went into battle, Liang Xiao's heart was full of joy. After acting for so long, I finally hooked the big fish. Next, it's time to show real strength and fight back in an all-round way.
Liang Xiao called the generals for the last time to arrange counterattack tactics. The veterans have long been gearing up, needless to say. The Greek teenagers rested on the sidelines, watching their seniors fight bloodily, and they had already recovered their strength and were ready for battle. Even the pu people are full of spirit and can't wait to show their skills.
"The most important thing is that those people under the hillside must be completely annihilated, and they can't be allowed to escape with their horses, otherwise, we won't have enough horses."
"Your Excellency, don't worry." Xie Guanglong slapped his chest hard. "I promise they won't run away."
Liang Xiao turned to Pu Jia. "King, it's still the old rule, they attack, you pursue."
Pu Jia smiled and nodded, picked up his bow and shook it. "Don't worry, adults, they will never be cheap."
"Alright, get ready to fight." Liang Xiao stretched out his fist and touched everyone in front of him. "Victory."
"Victory!" ――
