Chapter 216: Fierce Battle
With a "plop", Pang Shuo's front legs weakened and fell to the ground. Pang Shuo was thrown out, his face pressed to the ground, and he slid a dozen steps away from the grass, and immediately blood was dripping.
"Haha......" Xie Guanglong laughed. Big Tiger, it's broken, look at how you still laugh at me. ”
"My day." Pang Shuo got up, carried the iron knife, took a big stride, and ran forward.
Xie Guanglong rode past Pang Shuo and looked down at Pang Shuo, unable to support his joy. Unexpectedly, his war horse shook and fell to the ground. Xie Guanglong was caught off guard, planted off the horse, and couldn't get up all of a sudden.
"Retribution!" Pang Shuo ran, handed the knife to his right hand, lifted Xie Guanglong's collar with his left hand, and continued to run. Xie Guanglong ran dozens of steps away with his strength before he could keep up with Pang Shuo's pace, broke free from Pang Shuo's big hand, and followed closely.
"Up the mountain, up the mountain!" Liang Xiao shouted loudly while looking back to observe the enemy's situation.
"Whoa." Pang Shuo didn't think about it at all, turned around and ran towards the side hillside.
"My lord, why don't you hurry up and cross the mountain pass?" Xie Guanglong turned his head and asked as he ran.
"It's too late." Liang Xiao shouted, "Without horses, we will soon be overtaken." When we went up the mountain, everyone walked, and no one took advantage of it. ”
Before Xie Guanglong could ask again, Pang Shuo grabbed his arm and dragged him towards the mountain. Although Xie Guanglong is not small, compared with Pang Shuo, he still can't keep up, and he was dragged by Pang Shuo to stagger, and fell several times along the way.
Liang Xiao and the others rode their horses up the mountain, and before the horses could stop, they rolled off the horses, tied the reins to the stones next to them, and then took off the bags on the horse's back, carried them on their backs, and climbed up the mountain on foot. Change in usual. They were reluctant to throw away such a good war horse, but at this moment, they couldn't care about it.
After running for so long, these horses are already injured and could die at any moment, and it is almost impossible to regain their fat. Tie your horse to the intersection at the bottom of the mountain. Just to add a little trouble to the Huns.
Among so many horses, only the moon could barely support it, led by Liang Xiao, and climbed up the mountain.
After climbing more than 100 steps, Liang Xiao stopped. Without his orders, everyone found a suitable place to hide, and hurried to drink water and eat. The battle is about to begin, and this may be their last.
The Huns came a little slower than Liang Xiao estimated, after a full meal. They arrived at the foot of the mountain. Liang Xiao glanced at it and said with a smile: "These Hun dogs are too tired to do it, they are much weaker than I imagined." ”
"The Hun dog is also a dog, and it is not iron." Guo Wu swallowed a piece of dried horse meat with difficulty and scolded. "One-on-one, I can pick the three of them in a row."
"Three is a hair, Lao Tzu singled out five of them." Xie Guanglong stood up and braced his arm hard. "Who dares to stand in the way of Lao Tzu going to Dawan. Lao Tzu stabbed whoever he stabbed to death, and it didn't matter what kind of king he was. What is the household? ”
Pang Shuo glared at him with disdain and stuffed a piece of meat. "Don't patronize the blowing, hurry up and eat something, and you will have the strength to kill people later."
Xie Guanglong took it, puffed out his cheeks, and bit off a piece. Chewing hard, mumbling in his mouth. "Beauty, wait for me."
Listening to these guys cheering each other on, Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He carefully looked at the Huns below the mountain. He saw the Evil King. The Evil King almost fell when he dismounted, and he looked too tired to do anything. The rest of the Huns were no better. A lot of people have slid off their horses, and they don't have the athleticism they should have.
Guo Wu was right. The Huns are also people, not iron.
However, the situation remains dire. Not only is there a huge difference in the number of people on both sides, but the Huns also have reinforcements, if the battle cannot be resolved quickly, there are more and more Huns, and they are still more and less lucky.
How can you stimulate the Evil King and make him attack desperately, instead of besieging it?
Liang Xiao thought for a moment and turned his gaze to the leather sac under the moon's neck. There was the head of the Gulu fox inside, and it was rotten.
"Niu'er, help me change my armor." Liang Xiao stood up and untied the iron armor on his body.
"What armor?"
"Change the armor of the deer fox."
Tu Niu'er didn't ask much, took the armor of the Gulu fox from the horse, and helped Liang Xiao put it on. Liang Xiao put on iron armor, but he didn't wear a helmet. He took off the head of the Gulu fox, put it on a stone, put his helmet on it, and then took out an arrow, and Ding Ding struck it with a bang.
The crisp percussion quickly caught everyone's attention.
The eyes of the Evil King who was holding the saddle and panting suddenly straightened, and he slowly stood up, looking at the head on the hillside, and couldn't help but cry. Although he couldn't see the appearance clearly, he could guess that this must be the head of his son Gulu Fox.
Didn't he chase so far just to recapture this head and let Gulu Fox have a whole corpse? Isn't it just to kill Liang Xiao and bury Gulu Fox? Now that the head of Gulu Fox is in front of you, and Liang Xiao is also in front of you, what are you waiting for?
It's really tired, but isn't Liang Xiao tired? Look at his horse, except for the white horse, there is almost only one breath left. If horses are like this, how good can people be? Could it be that they have more stamina than the Huns?
"Give it to me, kill that dog! Reward 100 horses, 1,000 cattle, and rise to 10,000 captains. ”
Although the Huns found it difficult for some strongmen, they still launched an attack. They think about the same as the Evil King. Both sides are extremely tired, and they already have an absolute numerical advantage, even if they are consumed, they can be consumed to death.
Ten Huns were the first to walk out of the ranks and towards the hillside. They stood at the foot of the hill, lined up, took off their bows, mounted their arrows, and prepared for cover. Ten more Huns came out of the ranks, in groups of five, and climbed up the hill from both sides.
Seeing the Hun Evil King waving his arms and roaring, and seeing the Huns preparing to attack, Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of the Huns attacking, he was afraid of the Huns waiting. He needs time. Although they only arrived for a meal earlier than the Huns, this time was very important.
"Don't rush to attack, everyone." Liang Xiao said: "Our baggage is almost gone, we must recuperate, kill them as soon as we make a move, and we can't delay it for too long, you know?" ”
"Whoa." The crowd responded.
Pang Shuo held an iron knife, Xie Guanglong held an iron spear, and walked to the front, Li Shuyun and Guo Wu held bows and arrows, standing behind them, Tu Niu'er protected Liang Xiao, sitting in the center, and even Guo Wenbin picked up his weapon and quietly waited for the start of the battle.
The Huns began to shoot arrows, and one arrow after another came up. A few arrows landed in front of Liang Xiao. Guo Wenbin was about to pick it up, but Liang Xiao shook his head and stopped him. Guo Wenbin understood and tightened his grip on the knife again. Picking up arrows at this time will make the Huns more vigilant and guess their reality and reality.
The Huns untied the war horse tied to the bottom of the mountain, moved the dead war horse away, held the leather shield, and carefully climbed up. Liang Xiao looked at them and didn't give the order to attack, just kept hitting the helmet with the arrow in his hand.
"Ding! Bite! Bite! ”
The Huns climbed twenty paces away, and the Huns at the bottom of the mountain stopped shooting arrows, and pressed forward until they reached the bottom of the hillside, and then scattered into the rocks, showing only one head, keeping their grip on the mountain and covering their companions.
Liang Xiao handed the arrow in his hand to Guo Wenbin, motioned for him to continue knocking, took out an arrow again, put it on the string, took a deep breath, and slowly tightened it. As soon as he exerted his strength, he felt as if his shoulder and back were torn open, and it hurt his heart and lungs.
In the three days that he was embellished by the Evil King, he shot nearly five hundred arrows back and forth, and he didn't have time to relax and recover, and his muscles were already severely strained.
Still, he gritted his teeth and filled up his one-stone bow, aimed it at the last of the five people who were closest to him, and shot an arrow.
"Whoosh!" The arrows sped away, passing over several boulders, over the heads of several Huns, and shooting at the Huns who fell last.
Seeing Liang Xiao raise his bow, all the Huns raised their vigilance and raised their shields. These days of pursuit, in addition to being tired, what impressed them the most was the precise archery skills of this young man of the Han family. He shot and killed more than 100 elite Hun knights, and wounded no less than 100 people.
Such a record, even compared with the Hun archers, is not inferior.
Seeing him raise his bow, no one dared to be careless. The Hun at the end was no exception, he was passing through the narrow gap between the two boulders, and there was no way to hide, so he could only raise the shield in his hand to protect his vital point. In order to prevent the shield from being pierced by the arrow and then hitting himself, he specially blocked his arm in the middle of his body. He would rather be shot through the arm than be shot in the vital point.
The sound of arrows was far away, and he held his breath and tensed his body.
"Dang!" A cluster of sparks emerged from the stone arm at the edge of the shield, and an arrow changed direction and shot at his face. He was taken aback, didn't have time to think about it, subconsciously lowered his head and waved his shield to the right.
In an instant, he was exposed to Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao did not hesitate and shot the second arrow.
The Huns responded with an arrow, and an arrow hit him in the forehead and plunged diagonally into his head. The Huns didn't even snort, and fell to the ground.
As soon as Liang Xiao's arrow was shot, Li Shuyun and Guo Wu stood up and fired several arrows in succession, suppressing the four Huns who rushed in front of them unable to raise their heads. Pang Shuo rushed out, and with a flash of the long knife in his hand, he slashed down one of the Huns in front, and then slammed into another Hun sideways. The Huns were caught off guard and staggered by him, and before he could stand firm, Xie Guanglong's spear arrived again, and a spear pierced his iron armor and picked him up.
The Huns panicked, holding the hilts of their spears in both hands and screaming fiercely.
Xie Guanglong laughed, threw him out with all his might, and smashed it into the five Huns who were about to rush over from the side. The Huns hurriedly dodged, but two of them were still hit, fell to the ground, and rolled down several paces.
Liang Xiao and the three of them seized the opportunity and shot a few arrows in succession, knocking down the two Huns who were exposed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pang Shuo killed one more person, and the remaining Huns saw Pang Shuo's majesty for the first time, and were so frightened that they turned around and ran, but they were blocked by the corpses of their companions. Before he could figure out how to escape, Pang Shuo and Xie Guanglong arrived at the same time, and the iron spear pierced his back, and the iron knife cut off his head.
