Liang Xiao waited in the front hall for a while, but Creon did not appear. Sigma was annoyed, and asked Liang Xiao with her eyes several times, to rush in and question Creon. Liang Xiao just smiled and stopped Sigma.

He could see that Ampas should be Creon's henchman, and he was one of the few calm people. He hadn't been in for so long, he wouldn't have been deliberately slight, he should have reported to Creon in detail what he had seen and heard that day.

That's exactly what he needs Ampas to do. He put so much thought into it, not only to suppress those mercenaries and turn them into use, but also to cheer Creon up. Dawan has been peaceful for more than 30 years, and Creon is just in his fifties, so he should not have experienced any major wars. Such a magnate could easily collapse in front of the Huns. If Creon's legs are weak, he won't be able to defend Suye City no matter how hard he tries.

He needs to give Creon a little bit of confidence. He couldn't tell Creon himself that Ampas was his spokesman. The longer Ampas stays inside, the better his chances of success, and the more confident Creon will be in him.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Creon and Ampas walked out together with a smile on their faces and a firm step. Seeing Liang Xiao, he hurried two steps, grabbed Liang Xiao's hand, held Liang Xiao's hand, and said repeatedly: "Hard work." ”

"Willing to serve Dawan, willing to serve adults."

"Come, please be seated." Creon affectionately pulled Liang Xiao into the seat, and instructed someone to arrange a banquet to celebrate Liang Xiao's achievements. Liang Xiao stopped. "My lord, the Huns may rush to the city at any time, and this is not the time to celebrate. When the Huns were repulsed, it was not too late to celebrate. ”

"That's just as well." Creon didn't insist either. "So, what does your envoy need me to do? Let's put it bluntly. ”

Liang Xiao looked at Ampas. Ampas nodded.

"That being the case. Then I'll make some suggestions. Please give me some advice. ”

Creon laughed, pricked up his ears, and listened intently.

Liang Xiao had never commanded a real battle before, let alone commanded a battle to defend the city, but he listened to Huan Yuan's orders and talked about many key points of defending the city. Well prepared. At this moment, it is also methodical, and every sentence can be implemented.

Creon nodded frequently, and the two talked happily. After talking about the relevant affairs of the city defense, Creon happily allocated the 30,000 gold coins he had promised - equivalent to 1,000 gold to Liang Xiao. Since he decided to defend the city, he could not be stingy, rather than being robbed by the Huns after the city was broken, it was better to use it to motivate the mercenaries to fight and defend Suye City from the looting of the Huns.

With these 30,000 gold coins, Liang Xiao's hands suddenly became rich. The Han merchants raised more than 3,000 gold for him. After paying the mercenaries' deposits, he also saved 2,000 gold. Coupled with these 30,000 gold coins, he is now bulging with a puff and more confident.

However, he didn't dare to be too careless. The money is not his, and once the war starts, the gold coins will be spent like flowing water.

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. War, it's all about money.

――

A day later, Wudan rushed to the city of Suye. As soon as he saw the defense of Suye City, Wu Dan smiled, pointed at the camp of the Yue clan with a horsewhip, and scolded contemptuously: "Coward, you actually learn from the Han people to set up camp, don't they even know how to ride a horse?" ”

The Huns laughed, their tone was relaxed, and their expressions were free. The Dawan people in Suye City and the Yue people outside Suye City are nothing more than a group of lambs to be slaughtered in their eyes, and the difference is only in who slaughters first.

Wudan is very sure. He was not in a hurry, and while ordering to set up camp, he walked under the city to check the city defenses. He was so confident that he even walked within the firing range, looking up at the city, and the arrogant and unbridled laughter reached the ears of the soldiers of Suye City.

Creon gritted his teeth in anger at Udan's contempt, and wanted to shoot the abominable Udan.

Liang Xiao didn't move. He didn't even look at Wu Dan, but stared at the Hun camp in the distance for a long time.

In the face of Wudan's frivolity, Creon sees insults, and he sees opportunities.

The Huns were very confident, and the camp was only more than two miles away from the city, almost under the noses of the soldiers of Suye City. According to the habits of the Huns, their big camp did not have a barracks, and where the tents were placed, there was a barracks.

Wudan was overconfident, and this might be an opportunity to give him a chance to face him while he was not on a firm footing.

"Your envoy, can you shoot him two arrows and let him see the magical archery skills of your envoy?" Creon finally couldn't hold back and made a request to Liang Xiao through Ampas. Liang Xiao smiled slightly and shook his head. "My lord, although Wudan is arrogant, he does not take risks. He seemed to be within range, but whenever he saw the city raise his bow, he would be vigilant. The arrows I shoot will not only be dodged by him, but may even be caught by him. ”

"Really?" Creon hesitated. What he wanted was for Liang Xiao to shoot Wudan to death, but he didn't want Wudan to perform.

"That's right. Even the arrows fired by the strongest bow will be greatly reduced in speed when they are beyond range, and with the ability of Wudan and the guards around him, it is not difficult to catch the arrows. However, it is always no good to be too crazy, let alone the fact that he is a general. Don't worry, I'll give him a little color. ”

Creon will be skeptical. Liang Xiao didn't say much, turned around and went to the camp of the Yue people.

The Yueshi people, like Creon, were also angered by the arrogance of the Huns. Batu jumped like thunder, his little white face was swollen red, and he yelled for Ayana to fight and teach Wudan a lesson. But Ayana didn't say a word, and gave a death order, and no one was allowed to leave the camp.

Seeing Liang Xiao, Batu rushed over as if he saw reinforcements, and begged: "Your envoy, you can help me vent your anger." Wudan is too deceitful. ”

Liang Xiao looked at Ah Xiana and smiled: "How do you want to get angry?" Let me shoot him with an arrow? ”

"Of course, if you can shoot him, I'll give you two of the prettiest maiko."

"Forget it then." Liang Xiao laughed and sat down opposite Ah Xiana. "Dalu, I have an idea, maybe I can hit the arrogance of the Huns."

Ah Xiana nodded quietly.

"Wudan is alone, and it seems to have the upper hand, but it is in real crisis. At this time. He dared to camp so close to the city. It can be seen that it does not take us into account at all. ”

Ajuna nodded. Same with Batu. He was also annoyed in his heart. However, he knows that there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and he is not Wudan's opponent at all. Liang Xiao said differently, he saw the arrogance of the Huns, and wanted to seize the opportunity to hit hard, which was essentially different from Batu's simple anger.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to gather a hundred horsemen and attack the camp of the Huns at night. Give them a dismount. ”

Ayana groaned for a long time. "What do you need me to do?"

"There are seventy or eighty riders around me who can take on this role, and if Dalu can support me with thirty riders, I think it will be enough."

"How sure are you?"

"I don't dare to say too much, seventy percent still have it."

"Where do you want to start attacking?"

"Southeast."

"It's a northwest wind today, and it's a headwind to attack from the southeast." Ah Xiana stared at Liang Xiao's eyes and said unhurriedly: "If you shoot an arrow against the wind, the range will be affected." ”

"That's right, I'm going to take advantage of the effect of the northwest wind on the range." Liang Xiao smiled. "In this way, it will be more advantageous when we break through the large camp of the Huns and retreat. As for before the engagement. The Huns will not find out about us at all. ”

Asana smiled. "Okay, I'll pick thirty guards to ride for him. They are all elites who have fought with me for many years. I hope they can help Liang Jun and thwart the prestige of the Xiongnu. ”

Liang Xiao thanked him. "In addition, please be ready to respond."

"Don't worry." Ah Xiana patted Liang Xiao's shoulder, speaking very slowly, but very firmly. "I will open the camp gates in time to welcome you back."

――

Liang Xiao returned to the city and gathered everyone to discuss. As soon as they heard that they were going to attack the Huns at night, everyone immediately became excited, gearing up, and they were all inexplicably excited. Since the battle with the Wusun people outside Guishan City, they have not fought for nearly two months, practicing martial arts every day, but they can't fight, which is really too tiring.

Xie Guanglong said impatiently: "My lord, when will you leave?" ”

"Get out of town after dark." Liang Xiao said: "Lao Xie, you go and pick it, according to the usual training level, pick thirty or forty spears to make a good strong hand, use dark horses as much as possible for the mount, each person prepares a dark cloth to wrap the body, and then prepare a few pieces of cloth to wrap the horse's hooves." ”

"My lord, don't worry, I often do this." Xie Guanglong laughed and led Guo Wu out.

Liang Xiao called the eighteen mercenaries again and explained the situation. Although the mercenaries were a little nervous, they naturally felt a little more confident when they saw Liang Xiao fighting in person, and the people around him all looked relaxed and even a little excited. When Liang Xiao announced that there was another reward for this battle, they immediately agreed and turned around to prepare.

After a full meal, taking advantage of the night, Liang Xiao took one hundred and seven horses and quietly walked out of the west gate of Suye City and galloped westward.

The Hun scouts discovered their traces, but they did not dare to come forward to intercept them, but only sent people to follow them while reporting the news to Wudan.

Wudan didn't take it seriously, more than 100 horses, and it was westward, there was only one possibility: to go to a nearby city for help. Wudan knew that the city guards of Dawan Kingdom were limited, and there were only about a thousand people in each city, which was just a piece of cake for him.

"Let them come, it's better to come, so that I don't have to rush over and kill them." Wudan said with a big grin, raised his glass, and drank it all.

Wudan didn't take the hundred or so horsemen seriously, and the scouts naturally didn't take it seriously, they just patrolled as usual, reminded each other to be careful, and quickly left the hundred or so horsemen behind.

Liang Xiao galloped out of more than 30 miles, beyond the normal warning range of the Huns, and only stopped when he saw that no one was chasing him. He turned his horse's head, looked at the knights slowly approaching, and laughed silently.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what we are about to do is something that only a true brave man would dare to do. We had only one hundred and eight men, but we were faced with more than 10,000 Huns. It was a battle with a huge disparity in numbers, but it was also a hearty battle. I can guarantee that the vast majority of you will never get a second chance in your life. ”

Liang Xiao paused, and then said: "Because, it is difficult for you to meet such a powerful comrade-in-arms again, and it is even more difficult to meet a stupid opponent like Wudan." ”――
