Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 423
A hundred miles east of Daze, in a hidden and nameless valley, Liang Xiao stood behind the bushes, raised his clairvoyance again, observed the grassland to the east, and then turned his head to look at the grassland on all sides.

The grassland was peaceful and quiet, not even a single bird could be seen.

Liang Xiao sighed, closed his clairvoyance, picked up the water bag from Tu Niu'er, took a sip of water, held it in his mouth for a while, and swallowed it slowly. "What gossip does the lieutenant general have?"

Tu Niu'er clicked his mouth for a while. "Of course there is."

Liang Xiao twisted his mouth. "And you, what do you think?"

Tu Niu'er scratched his head. "I can't figure it out either. However, I believe you won't suffer. There must be something wrong with you."

Liang Xiao glared at Tu Niu'er, stuffed the water bag into his arms, and hesitated to speak.

After traveling with Li Guang to Dongkyu for more than a hundred li, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.It is really not safe to leave Cheng Bushi alone to face the Xiongnu Shanyu.Li Guang's plan was to quickly defeat Lou Fan's royal family, and then concentrate his forces to confront the Xiongnu Shanyu.However, not to mention the infantry of Han An's Ministry, even the cavalry equipped with three horses must consume a lot of physical strength to fight back and forth for more than a thousand miles in a few days.

At that time, can they still compete with the main force led by the Xiongnu Shanyu?If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.In a cavalry duel, once defeated and hunted down by the Huns cavalry, it would be a disaster.

So Liang Xiao found Li Guang, analyzed repeatedly, and hoped to lead [-] elite riders to stay and be ready to meet Cheng Bushi at any time.When necessary, it can also provide early warning for Li Guang.

Li Guang agreed.On the one hand, Liang Xiao's caution was not unreasonable, on the other hand, leaving three thousand riders had no decisive influence on him.Without Liang Xiao, a young and famous competitor, the other generals can share a little more credit.

Therefore, Liang Xiao's stay here is not because he is in full swing, holding back some bad things, but because of a strong sense of crisis.

In this battle, although there were three veteran generals in front, he was the real instigator worthy of the name.Historically, the first battle between the Han and Hungarians was a futile ambush. The Han army was a few years behind in taking the initiative to attack. The four generals each led ten thousand horses to attack. In the end, only Wei Qing achieved the record of beheading hundreds of people.Now, because of his appearance, the Han army dispatched [-] cavalry in the first battle.

He became famous in one battle, he was rich and honored as a young man, and behind the scene, he won a lot of jealousy for himself. In addition, he was competing with the prime minister Tian Fu for his wife, and he offended people all over the court and the public.Once missed, the number of people who fell into trouble is countless.Therefore, this battle cannot be lost.Not only can you not lose, but you must win well.In this way, the emperor has face.Only when the emperor has face can he live a nourishing life.

However, once the Xiongnu Shanyu arrived, all of this might be wiped out.How could he not be nervous, how could he be like Li Guang and other soldiers, only thinking about grabbing the head.

He is receiving the salary of a lieutenant general, and he has the heart of a commander.

Liang Xiao once again raised his clairvoyance. "Tell the brothers, rest at ease, there will be a time when they will cut off the head."

Tu Niu'er responded, and winked at the guards around him.A personal guard turned and left, conveying the military order.He didn't see it, but the corners of Liang Xiao's eyes twitched inadvertently, revealing a little uneasiness.

A dozen fast horses appeared on the horizon and approached quickly.

Liang Xiao put down his clairvoyance and waved to Pang Shuo.Pang Shuo understood, rushed down the hillside with a few mercenaries, and stopped the knights.

Seeing that it was Pang Shuo, the knights were both surprised and happy, and followed Pang Shuo up the mountain, and one of them came in front of Liang Xiao.Before Liang Xiao could ask a question, he prostrated himself on the ground. "Your Majesty Liang, the Xiongnu Shanyu is here."

The back of Liang Xiao's head felt chilly.The Xiongnu Shanyu came sooner than they expected. It seemed that he had met King Aries and knew that the situation in Henan was critical, so he rushed to help.

Liang Xiao forced himself to remain calm. "how many people?"

"The exact number is still unclear, at least [-] or more." The knight said hoarsely. "They came very fast. General Cheng was worried that they would divide their troops to help King Lou Fan, so let us inform General Li and ask him to be careful."

Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes, and his scalp felt numb.Cheng Bushi's worries were the same as his. If the Huns chose to ignore Cheng Bushi and rush to help King Loufan, both Li Guang and Han Anguo would face great pressure, and they might even be destroyed.The Xiongnu Shanyu's royal court elite is not comparable to the subordinates of King Aries and King Loufan, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger.

In any case, they must be delayed to buy time for Li Guang and Han Anguo.

"You still follow the old plan and inform General Li. Be careful, you may encounter the Huns at any time."

The knight nodded again and again, turned around and left.

Liang Xiao thought for a long time, and found Xie Guanglong. "Take a hard trip, take a few brothers who are familiar with the environment into the grassland, and find out the real strength of Shan Yu, especially if there are other reinforcements."

"Here." Xie Guanglong replied excitedly.

"Take this with you." Liang Xiao took out his clairvoyance, stuffed it in Xie Guanglong's hand, and patted it reluctantly. "Stay away from the Huns, don't be greedy for merit. Your wealth and honor are waiting for you, and return home with your life and clothes."

Xie Guanglong laughed. "Don't worry, Captain. I've been on the grasslands many times. No one knows how to play hide-and-seek with the Huns better than me. If Captain is worried, send me two archers."

Liang Xiao agreed, and sent Firefox and another mercenary archer to accompany Xie Guanglong.Their task is very simple, that is, to provide Xie Guanglong with long-range strike support in the event of an encounter.

The relationship was so important, Xie Guanglong didn't dare to neglect, and set off immediately.

Liang Xiao then sent someone to inform Cheng Bushi that he was hundreds of miles away and could come to help at any time, so that Cheng Bushi should not be too nervous, thinking that he was alone and helpless, and making a wrong judgment.

-

In the big camp, Cheng Bushi stood on the top of a large cart, held up his clairvoyance, and looked at the dark crowd in the sky, feeling bitter in his heart.

After finally earning some military merit, I'm afraid I will throw it here this time.The Huns were strong and powerful, and they came so suddenly that even if Li Guang and Han Anguo had already defeated King Loufan, it was too late to come to their aid.

Perhaps it would be better not to come. The Han army has been on the expedition for nearly half a month, with successive battles and nearly [-]% casualties.

what should I do?Cheng Buzhi repeatedly weighed and weighed, in a dilemma.

Due to military orders, the officers and men in the army performed their duties and were ready to fight.But Cheng Bushi knew that they were also very nervous when facing the enemy suddenly, they were only afraid of the military law, so they didn't disperse in a hurry.When the two sides engage in battle, the casualties increase, and no one knows when they will be overwhelmed by fear.

At this moment, Liang Xiao's messenger arrived.

Knowing that Liang Xiao was hundreds of miles away, Cheng Bushi was inexplicably relieved.Although three thousand riders were insignificant compared to the continuous stream of Huns, Liang Xiao was the one who led them, which gave Cheng Bushi a bit of confidence.

Liang Xiao was the one who created the miracle of running thousands of miles and defeating the main force of the Xiongnu twice in a row.More importantly, he did not travel with Li Guangdong, indicating that the current situation was as early as he expected.

Cheng Buzhi thought for a while and called all the generals to discuss the matter.In front of the terrified generals, Cheng Bushi conveyed Liang Xiao's military report.

Knowing that he was not alone and helpless, and that Liang Xiao was hundreds of miles away, and could arrive in an instant, the generals were obviously relieved.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Buzhi smiled and said: "Masters, this is a gift from God to us. I am old, and I will be dismissed after a few years of fighting. But you are still young, if you show your prestige and fame this time, You may have a chance to fight side by side with Liang Boming."

All the generals laughed, not only relieved a little pressure, but also increased a little pride.Liang Xiao can become famous as a teenager, why can't we?
After arousing the fighting spirit of the generals, Cheng Bushi strikes while the iron is hot, arranges tasks, and prepares to fight the Huns to death.

-

Military minister Shan Yu sat on his horse, looked at the Han army camp in the distance, and frowned with thick eyebrows.

The Aries King is riding a green horse, shrinking his body, looks haggard, and his eyes are bloodshot.In a moment of carelessness, he was defeated by the Han army, lost more than half of the [-] cavalry, and the fertile Hetao pasture was taken away by Li Guang and Liang Xiao. Now he is a lost dog.If he hadn't met Shan Yu on the way, he really didn't know where he could go.

Still, he was met with a lot of merciless ridicule.The Huns believed in the strong. Without strength, there would be no dignity.

"That's Cheng Bushi?" Shan Yu pointed his horsewhip at the banner fluttering in the distance, curled his lips, and did not hide the contempt in his tone.

"Yes, he is Cheng Bushi." Aries King swallowed hard.

"Cheng Bushi is not Li Guang, so there is nothing to be afraid of." A little Wang said nonchalantly, "You can't even break through his position, no wonder you will be beaten black and blue by the Han."

"He stands on his back, what can I do?" Aries King said unconvinced.

Shan Yu squinted at King Aries. "Then he's standing on his back now, can you break through his camp?"

King Aries hesitated for a moment.He knew that Shan Yu was giving him a chance.If he couldn't prove his mettle, he didn't deserve the ranch and had to give it up to someone else.Hetao is rich in water and grass, so he can't avoid giving up this precious land.

He gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.He still has more than 1 riders, and with Shan Yu's support, he has a chance to break through Cheng Buzhi's camp.As long as he has done meritorious service and obtained spoils of war, he can regain his glory.Besides, he himself has always been unconvinced, and feels that he is just careless for a while, not that he is not strong enough.If he is given another chance, he will definitely be able to avenge his shame.

"Well, I'll give you another chance. If you can't prove your mettle, give it to someone else."

"Thank you, Shan Yu." The Aries King stroked his chest and saluted, and led the guards back to his team.Shan Yu looked back at the others, and asked again: "Is there any news about Li Guang and Liang Xiao?"

"No." Crown Prince Yu Dan said loudly, "I haven't seen any other Han soldiers within thirty miles. They should have gone to search the building to trouble the king's back route."

Shan Yu frowned. "Invite the Great Tuqi to come."
