Sitting on the saddle of Takahashi and stepping on the stirrups, Liang Xiao felt a lot more at ease, and he no longer had to worry about falling off if he was fast., he tried to shoot a few arrows, and the stability and hit rate have improved, although it can't be compared with the vertical shot, at least it is much better than the previous pure luck.Within fifty steps, he can basically guarantee a fifty percent hit rate, and within thirty steps, he is confident that he can directly take the opponent's vital point.If you combine the ability of riding and shooting, basically as long as you don't compare with the master, he is no worse than ordinary people.Liang Xiao is like this, and Li Jiao and others are even more powerful.Li Jiao shouted that he was glad that he didn't bet with Liang Xiao, otherwise he would have to lose his fortune and lose face.With this new style of harness, let alone hand-to-hand combat, he felt that hand-to-hand combat was not a problem.Lang officials deeply believe this.In addition to the original bows and arrows and long swords, they borrowed more than a dozen halberds of about two zhang from the Fu Bo Li Wu family.In this era, there are still a few people who can use long weapons to fight on horses, so there are no special long soldiers for riding, so they can only use halberds instead.Fortunately, the job of these Lang officials is to carry halberds, and they are no strangers to the use of halberds, and all they need to be familiar with is how to use them immediately.More than ten miles out of Fuboli, they met a group of Minyue scouts with tattoos.Without Liang Xiao's orders, Li Jiao was the first to rush out, and several Lang officials followed closely.As soon as they saw the war horse, those Minyue people turned around and ran.Probably having heard of the speed of the cavalry, these Minyue people left the road one after another and rushed into the wheat fields.When a horse enters a soft wheat field, its speed will be affected, and the foot soldiers will have a greater chance of escaping.In case you can't escape, you can also reflexively fight hand-to-hand.It's better than being defenseless on the road.This is the truth that the Minyue soldiers realized with their blood.It has been passed on by word of mouth in the Minyue army.Known.It's a pity that these Minyue people underestimated the severity of the situation, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, they were about to turn around to fight, but they found that the other party was holding a long halberd of about two feet in his hand.Before they could raise their swords, they rushed away with their horses, and their halberds stabbed into their shields.The force was unimaginable, and it knocked them to the ground without any suspense.The Minyue people were lying in the wheat field, dizzy.The Lang officials turned their horses' heads, and without even getting off their horses, they assassinated their opponents with a halberd.It didn't take much effort for the Lang officials to eliminate their respective opponents, capturing two of them alive, and all the rest were killed on the spot, and none of them were spared.From the mouths of these captives, Liang Xiao heard a message: the Minyue army was preparing to retreat.They were ordered to find out the situation in the river, because Yu Shan decided to retreat from Songjiang.Liang Xiao was surprised.The Minyue army was ready to withdraw, and he inquired carefully, but he didn't find out too much news, and he didn't even inquire about the outcome of the conflict between Huan Yuan and Jing Zhao.These scouts were all low-level soldiers and knew very little about the contradictions between the generals.Liang Xiao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately changed his plan and escorted Wang Xing to Wu County.Along the way, they encountered four or five Minyue scouts one after another, and easily killed most of them, and the news they got was much the same: the Minyue people were ready to withdraw their troops, and this big battle would soon end.Yu Shan will leave Wu County with a mountain of loot and enter the sea along the Songjiang River.Outside Wu County, Liang Xiao and Wang Xing said goodbye.He told Wang Xing that they should intercept and kill as many Minyue scouts as possible, obstruct the withdrawal of the Minyue army, and buy time for a counterattack.It is hoped that Wang Xing can persuade Dou Taishou and Yan Zhu as soon as possible, gather the people of Wu to launch a counterattack, and teach Minyue a lesson.Wang Xing nodded again and again and said goodbye.Liang Xiao and others launched a hunting operation around Wu County, they wandered within a radius of 30 miles, killed the Minyue people when they saw them, and ran away when they hit them.In the past, they could only shoot from a distance, but now with the new harness, they can be killed at close range, and the combat effectiveness of the Lang officials has suddenly increased to a higher level.They were high-spirited, and even if they encountered a small group of twenty or thirty Minyue soldiers, they did not show weakness, rushing up to kill a few people and running.The Minyue soldiers were not prepared for this new situation.They originally thought that when they saw the cavalry, they only needed to form a formation and raise their shields, and not let the opponent shoot, but now the opponent is holding a halberd in hand-to-hand combat, and in the face of the sharp halberd, they can't dodge, and they can't reach the battle, and they are completely passive and suffer heavy losses.In just one day, Liang Xiao and the others fought more than a dozen battles, killing more than 100 enemies in total.If it weren't for Liang Xiao's fear that the Lang officials would be injured and attrition, it was strictly forbidden to attack the enemy with more than thirty people, and the results might have been even greater.From the mouths of the captured captives sporadically, Liang Xiao finally got some news from Huan Yuan.Huan Yuan also commanded the Houyi battalion, but the Houyi battalion became Liu Ju's personal guard battalion.At the same time, Huan Yuan also served as Yu Shan's archer, helping him train archers similar to Houyi's battalion.According to the general understanding, Huan Yuan not only did not degrade, but was trusted by Liu Ju and Yu Shan.Of course, what it looks like, these scouts can't tell.As night fell, Liang Xiao and Li Jiao led the Lang officials to gradually move away from the Minyue camp.Li Jiao's confidence was a little bursting, and he asked Liang Xiao to go to the Minyue camp with him to look for an opportunity to snipe.Liang Xiao firmly disagreed.The closer you are to the camp, the more scouts the other side has, and once the other side surrounds you from all directions, even if you have horses, you may not be able to run away.Besides, after a day of fighting, both men and horses should take a break and recover their strength.Li Jiao disagreed.However, being captured by Huan Yuansheng, it was Liang Xiao who found a way to exchange him back, his face was gloomy, and he was embarrassed to fight with Liang Xiao."
Brother Li, we have just become familiar with the new harness, so why rush you and I are young for a while, there will be opportunities in the future, and when we are familiar with the wonders of the new harness, we will hone our combat skills to perfection, and we will go to the grassland to compete with the Huns, wouldn't it be more beautiful" "Okay." ”Li Jiao shook his head and responded happily.The Lang officials also replied with nonsense: "That's right, the Huns are a big problem, these monkeys are not interesting, and no matter how much they kill, they are not capable." ”"Yes, yes, I just don't know when I will be able to fight in the northern frontier.The ministers of the imperial court have always been friendly to the Xiongnu, and they have sent so many princesses silk, but they have not seen any results.I really don't know what these people think. ”"Anyway, it's not their daughter who is giving it, and it's not their money that is spent, of course they are happy.If there is a war with the Xiongnu, our warriors will prevail and occupy the throne of the imperial court, and they will suffer great losses.Alas, now the march is not popular, look at General Li, look at General Cheng, after decades of war, the marquis is still far away. ”Liang Xiao sipped the broth, listened to the complaints of the Lang officials, and said nothing.Wei Qing sat opposite Liang Xiao, lit the fire with a branch, and said softly: "Ah Xiao, do you want to go to the northern Xinjiang to join the army" Liang Xiao glanced at him and smiled."
What do you want" Wei Qing looked around again, moved to Liang Xiao's side, and sat side by side with Liang Xiao."
Your Majesty has the intention of starting a war with the Xiongnu and wants to find some trustworthy people to go to the north to inquire about the situation.The last time he sent Gongsun Hong to envoy the Huns, he had this intention, he didn't want Gongsun Hong to be pedantic and couldn't answer the order, His Majesty was very dissatisfied, and wanted to find another suitable candidate.I see that you are bold and careful, calm and resourceful, and you should be able to complete the task. ”Liang Xiao turned his head and looked at Wei Qing."
Okay, if Your Majesty has an edict, I am willing to go to Northern Xinjiang to find out the news.""
Okay."
Wei Qing patted Liang Xiao on the shoulder."
When I return to the capital, I will find an opportunity to recommend you to His Majesty."
Liang Xiao smiled.Wei Qing, who has always been taciturn, took the initiative to recommend him to the Son of Heaven, which was really not easy.This shows that after getting along for a while, Wei Qing has a good impression of him and is willing to take the initiative to communicate with him.It's a good start."
Thank you."
Huan Yuan hurriedly walked into Liu Ju's big tent.In order to mediate the conflict between Huan Yuan and Jing Zhao, Liu Ju, who had been stationed on the island, moved to the camp and commanded the camp with Yu Shan.said that he was commanding together, but in fact, he was equivalent to a guest secretary, and the real command was always in the hands of Yu Shan.It is precisely because of this that he is unwilling to see Huan Yuan and Jing Zhao have a gap, and he is even more reluctant to Huan Yuan being co-opted by Yu Shan.For him, every soldier is precious, let alone a master like Huan Yuan with vocal shooting skills, especially when there is a pack of wolves watching."
What's the matter" Liu Ju put down his wine glass and looked at Huan Yuan, but he was a little polite, far less intimate than when he talked to Jing Zhao just now.Huan Yuan didn't have the heart to care about these details, he hurriedly walked up to Liu Ju and gave a salute."
Your Highness, dozens of scouts are missing today, especially in the direction of Songjiang, the scouts have been completely damaged, and none of them have survived.""
What does this mean," Liu Ju looked dazed."
Liang Xiao came out again" "It's not just Liang Xiao who came out again. ”Huan Yuan patiently explained: "The army is about to retreat through Songjiang, and before marching, we must first find out the situation on both sides of Songjiang.Now that the scouts have been killed, it is likely that there is something on both sides of the Songjiang River, and they do not want to be discovered by us. ”"Is there an operation on both sides of the Songjiang River, are there still soldiers in Wu County, aren't their soldiers all trapped in Wu County" "Your Highness, have you forgotten those surnames" Liu Ju was startled, and his face became serious.He used to be the crown prince of the state of Wu, half of the owner of this land, and of course he knew the distribution of the big surnames in this neighborhood.These people may be average in strength individually, but if they are gathered, they are also a force to be reckoned with."
Did you remind General Yu Shan" "I reminded him, but he refused to listen and insisted on going from Songjiang.In desperation, I had to come and ask His Highness to persuade him.Your Highness, the waterway is indeed more convenient, but it is too dangerous, the water is shallow in winter, once you are trapped in the middle, you can't advance or retreat" Liu Ju was frightened.He knew that what Huan Yuan said was right, if they were really trapped in Songjiang, they would be in big trouble.Not to mention the loot on the ship, it is uncertain whether he can return to Dongye alive.yznn:
