Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 609 The Enemy Meets
Wu Dan was furious when he received the report from King Ruoqiang, and rushed to King Ruoqiang's camp with his personal guards.

When King Ruoqiang got the news, Wu Dan had already broken into his central army camp.He has been rampant in the Nanshan countries for a long time, no matter where he goes, no one dares to stop him, he has always been rampant.

King Ruoqiang was nervous, but he still stepped forward to greet him with a smile.Wu Dan entered the big tent, without saying a word, he slapped King Ruoqiang on the face with his backhand.Although King Ruoqiang was prepared, he didn't expect Wu Dan to be so angry, he staggered and fell to the ground, half of his face swelled up immediately, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

"What's going on, you, King Ruoqiang, don't want to do it, do you?"

"My lord!" King Ruoqiang fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.Blood stained the skirt of his shirt red and dripped on the ground. "We are not cowardly. Liang Xiao is really fierce. I am not an opponent, so I can only wait for the adults to come. Reluctantly attacking has no meaning other than increasing unnecessary casualties. If the adults don't believe me, I am willing to lead the way when we fight again." , charge in person.”

"Liang Xiao is ferocious, isn't he also alone?"

"My lord, Liang Xiao is not alone, let alone those Qiang people, but the Han cavalry around him are extremely fierce, and we are definitely not able to deal with them. He only had four hundred cavalry back then, and he killed Yiwuer's big boss , Now that his troops have doubled, we are not as brave as the big household, how can we be his opponent?"

Wu Dan didn't say a word.Yierwu's death in battle not only shocked King Ruoqiang and others, but also made him very disturbed.In his opinion, Yiwuer's strength was comparable to Liang Xiao's, and his military strength was four times that of Liang Xiao's, which was enough to defeat Liang Xiao.Unexpectedly, he lost his life in the first battle.King Ruoqiang justified Yiwuer's defeat, leaving him speechless.

Seeing that Wu Dan didn't speak, King Ruoqiang said again: "If your lord doesn't believe it, you might as well ask other people to ask."

Wu Dan waved his hand, pushed the boat smoothly, and ordered King Ruoqiang to summon other leaders to come.If the king of Ruoqiang went out of the tent, he arranged for people to blow the trumpet to gather the generals.It didn't take long, all the leaders came to the central army, and seeing King Ruoqiang with half of his face swollen, they kept silent like cicadas, not daring to be careless.

Wu Dan asked questions one after another, but nothing came out.King Ruoqiang has long agreed with them, and now there is another example of King Ruoqiang, who dares to admit that they are timid, they all try their best to advocate that the Han cavalry warriors are strong, they are like gods, and only Lord Sirius can defeat them do it.

Knowing that these people were shirking responsibility, Wu Dan couldn't expose it face to face.No matter how strong he is, he still needs the support of these people after all, and he can't push them into a hurry and take risks.Besides, he also knew how powerful Liang Xiao was, even he himself didn't have the confidence to win.Otherwise, he didn't need to mobilize so many troops, and he could kill Liang Xiao directly with his bodyguard cavalry.

When Aliusu was shot and killed, there were only a hundred or so riders around him.

Wu Dan calmed down, comforted King Ruoqiang and the others, and announced the end of the meeting.He wanted to go back to his camp, but when he saw King Ruoqiang and the others looked panic-stricken and their eyes wandered, he was afraid that they might get dissatisfied, so he simply took the guards to stay there, and while boosting morale, he also suppressed people's hearts, lest Ruoqiang Short of breath, Wang and others surrendered to Liang Xiao.

Defeat is one thing, surrender is another.

But he didn't attack either.Although he now has 8000 troops, he still decided to wait.Not only have to wait for the main force to arrive, but also wait for news from the grassland.

He has already sent people to contact the old tribe on the grassland, let them come from Qilian Mountains, harass Liang Xiao's rear, and attack the Qiang tribe who supported Liang Xiao.If he can succeed, he can not only catch Liang Xiao by surprise, but also take advantage of the situation to control Hexi.

Hexi is the hometown of his longing and dream.

Wu Dan waited for five days, the main force arrived and everything was ready, but still did not receive any news from Hunxie's old department.He didn't know what happened. Was it because Hunxie's old department didn't want to come, or the messenger didn't find them?This kind of thing often happens on the grassland.The Hunxie tribe is no longer the big tribe that it was back then. It is scattered and nomadic. There are no more than [-] people who are willing to support him. It is not easy to find them and persuade them to fight against the Han people. thing.

But Wu Dan couldn't wait any longer, he had several times the strength of Liang Xiao, if he didn't attack again, he would be regarded as cowardly.He can control the Nanshan Kingdoms because of his strength. Once his cowardice is seen, his rule is likely to collapse instantly.

Wu Dan decided to attack.He led the main force forward, and when he passed the stele, he ordered someone to chisel it down, and prepared to return it to Liang Xiao as a demonstration before the war.

-

Liang Xiao had known about Wu Dan's arrival a long time ago, he waited in formation in the valley, the formation was exactly the same as the last time King Ruoqiang attacked.

Batu, the prince of Yuezhi, led the coalition forces of various tribes to line up at the east end of the valley. Behind them were the old, the weak and all the property of the tribes.Once their formation is breached, they will have nothing.They were originally unwilling to be so decisive, but under the dual effects of Liang Xiao's coercion and the encouragement of the last big victory, they still obeyed Liang Xiao's arrangement.

Liang Xiao stood on the half-hill slope of the northern formation in the valley, about a hundred steps away from the bottom of the valley.The slope is slow and fast, you can use the slope to accelerate when going downhill, and it is not too difficult when going uphill.Regardless of whether the enemy was attacking him or planning to attack Batu and the others at the east end of the valley, he could attack in time.

Seeing this familiar scene, King Ruoqiang, who once again served as the striker, felt his heart pounding, and his scalp felt a little numb. The battle of that day came to mind again.He stopped a thousand steps away from Liang Xiao, ordered to stand up, and then sent someone to ask Wu Dan for instructions.

Wu Dan rushed to the front of the formation with his personal guard battalion, and ordered more than ten Qiang soldiers to push the cart, carrying the stele, and walked towards Liang Xiao.

The two sides were thousands of steps apart, the flags were fluttering, the sound of war drums and horns echoed slowly, and countless eyes were fixed on those Qiang people, the cart, and the stone tablet on the cart.Not everyone can see the stele clearly, but seeing this scene, everyone knows that although the battle has not yet started, the pre-war demonstrations have already begun.

The Qiang soldiers came to the foot of the slope, stopped the cart, and were about to unload the stele, but they were stopped by a Qiang knight.

The knight conveyed Liang Xiao's order, please take a few more steps and send it to our army's main formation, then you don't have to go back, just wait here, and I will trouble you to transport it back when the time comes.

The Qiang soldiers had no choice but to follow the knights and push the cart to Batu and others.The knight conveyed another order to Batu: this stele is temporarily stored here, and the general and all the warriors promise that they will never cross the stele until the end of the battle.

Those who cross the stele die.

Batu sent messengers to announce Liang Xiao's order to the entire army.Knowing that Liang Xiao was going to fight in person and would never die, the Qiang people breathed a sigh of relief, but were also a little worried.After all, Liang Xiao only had a thousand riders, while the enemy on the other side was vast, at least ten thousand or more.No matter how brave Liang Xiao is, no matter how good the Han cavalry are at fighting, can one really count as ten?What if something goes wrong?

Suddenly, countless people began to worry about Liang Xiao.

At this time, Paris lightly kicked the horse, went down the hillside, and galloped towards Wudan in the distance.Under the eyes of everyone, he came to Wu Dan, threw Yiwuer's shriveled head on the ground, and said loudly: "Sirius, you claim to be superb in archery, how dare you fight my general?"

Wu Dan was stunned for a moment, and then his face flushed red.He didn't expect that Liang Xiao would actually challenge him before the battle between the two armies.But this just happened to hit his weakness.Although he had the ground bow in his hand, he was not sure of winning the one-on-one duel with Liang Xiao.

Seeing that Wu Dan didn't respond, Paris laughed out loud, full of contempt for Wu Dan. "My general said, if you have the guts, go out and fight my general. If you don't have the guts, you can take the next best thing and lead your own guard battalion to fight. Our army has a thousand horses. How many are you willing to take? Listen to me. Respect, whoever wins will be the master of Nanshan, how about it?"

After Paris finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and galloped towards the south along Wudan's formation, loudly told the Qiang soldiers the news of Liang Xiao's challenge to Wudan, and walked all the way to the south of the formation. He turned back again and came to Wu Dan again.

"Have you decided? If you're a man, come out and fight, don't hide in the battle like a woman."

Hearing this, Wu Dan's blood surged even higher, and he shouted loudly: "Fight, fight, what is there to be afraid of!" Then he urged the horse to fight, raised the bow in his hand, and urged the horse to gallop back and forth on the battlefield .

The Qiang soldiers from all the tribes were forced to come here, and none of them wanted to fight. When they heard that Liang Xiao proposed to decide the outcome in a duel, they certainly wished for it.Whether it was Wu Dan and Liang Xiao fighting one-on-one, or fighting with the personal guards, it was a good choice. In short, don't let them fight.For them, whoever is stronger, they will attach to whoever is, it does not make any difference whether it is Liang Xiao or Wu Dan.

They were originally worried that Wu Dan would not accept the challenge, but seeing that Wu Dan took the lead, apparently accepting the challenge, they were immediately elated and applauded in unison.

When Wu Dan came out, he regretted it a bit.Hearing the cheers of the soldiers, he wanted to slap himself even more.Now riding a tiger is hard to get off, even if you want to change your mouth, you can't do it.He braced himself up, looked into the distance, and stared at Liang Xiao on the hillside.

Seeing Wu Dan coming out, Liang Xiao laughed. "This guy is really brave."

Xu Le was worried. "What about the prince, do you want to fight?"

"It's my challenge, how can I not fight?" Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Supervisor, don't worry, if Wu Dan was sure of winning, he would have come a long time ago. Delaying his arrival until now shows that He has a guilty conscience. He is not sure, but he can't stand the challenge, how can his state of mind be able to display his true shooting skills?"

Liang Xiao had analyzed this reason with Xu Le before, but Xu Le still felt that it was not safe when the situation came to an end.After all, the range of the earth bow in Sirius' hands is twice as far as that of Liang Xiao's human bow, and Liang Xiao's disadvantage is very obvious.In case of an arrow, there is no need to fight that battle.

Liang Xiao said again: "A one-on-one duel before the battle is better than a chaotic army. If the situation is not good for me, you don't have to be polite, just use the ballista to greet you. Ten big crossbows salvo, Wu Dan Even if you grow wings, you can’t fly out.”

Xu Le sighed. "Okay, sir, be careful."

With a flick of his wrist, Liang Xiao shook the horse's reins lightly, Mingzhu raised her neck, and with four slender legs, she rushed down the hillside and came to the front of the formation.

Batu and the others were far away. When Paris came out, they didn't know what was going on.Seeing Wu Dan and Liang Xiao coming out one after another, it was only then that they understood what they were going to do.The duel before the battle, where the outcome is determined by individual bravery, is not only a popular event for the brave and martial Qiang people, but also can boost morale and sometimes avoid countless casualties. It has always been a very popular move.

Anyone who can survive the duel will become a warrior. What's more, these two have been famous for a long time. Ordinary people's martial arts competitions are more concerned.

For a while, the soldiers of both sides were inexplicably excited and applauded in unison.As for whom to applaud, it is unclear.It's just that the scene on the battlefield is somewhat weird for both sides of the confrontation.The Han people and the Huns fought a duel, but all the Qiang people applauded, and the winner would have control over the Nanshan Kingdoms.

Liang Xiao also found it ridiculous, and even laughed involuntarily.With this ease, he went down the hillside, came to the front of the formation, and came to Wu Dan.Different from Liang Xiao's relaxedness, Wu Dan was very nervous, the knuckles of his fingers holding the bow turned white, and even trembled a little.He stared at Liang Xiao who was galloping lightly, without saying a word.As long as he saw Liang Xiao showing signs of drawing arrows, he would immediately strike first.

His advantage lies in the shooting range. Once Liang Xiao breaks into a hundred paces, he has no advantage at all.

But Liang Xiao obviously didn't intend to take advantage of this opportunity to attack. He held the reins in both hands, his body undulating slightly with the gallop of the horse, and came in front of Wu Dan with a smile on his face.At a place more than ten steps away from Wu Dan, he stopped, stared at Wu Dan twice, and suddenly smiled: "Have we met before? I think you look familiar. You should have met somewhere."

Wu Dan gritted his teeth and remained silent.He met Liang Xiao once, but not on a formal occasion.At that time, he had already been defeated by Liang Xiao, his tribe was separated, and only Yiwuer was by his side, and he met Liang Xiao on a narrow road in Yuli.He wanted to attack Liang Xiao, but he was not sure. In the end, he could only watch Liang Xiao leave.

Liang Xiao stared at Wu Dan and looked again and again, but still couldn't remember where he saw it.However, he made another discovery.

"What's wrong with your beard, it's so thin, it can't be that you've really become an eunuch?"

Wu Dan panicked for a while, and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth and beard.Ever since he was shot by Liang Xiao with an arrow, his beard began to fall off, and now there are only a few dozen sparse ones left.He had seen eunuchs before, and knew that it might have something to do with Liang Xiao's arrow, so he took great care of these beards, and tried his best to cover them up, not wanting others to discover his hidden disease.

He often finds women to sleep with, but in the end he always finds a reason to kill them to prevent them from leaking out.

Recalling the humiliation he had suffered over the years, Wu Dan was filled with endless murderous intent, and miraculously calmed down.This time, he would never let Liang Xiao leave alive again.
