The food source of the Huns was cattle and sheep.The expeditions would take large herds of sheep and cattle with them, and treat them as food for walking.The speed of cattle and sheep is relatively slow, so when the army moves, most of the cattle and sheep will stay behind, except for the dried meat they carry with them.The Huns came from the east, and Liang Xiao headed east, whether he wanted to bypass the Pu Sea or not, the first thing he would encounter would be the baggage men and horses behind the backward army.The Huns were accustomed to running rampant in the steppes, and with a large army in front of them, they did not fear that anyone would rob them.Even if some small tribes took risks, their strength was not enough to deal with the accompanying Hun knights, and at most they stole a few sheep.But Liang Xiao is different.Although there are not many people around Liang Xiao, they are the real elite.He once led more than 100 horsemen to break through the 10,000-strong camp of Wudan, and it was not enough to deal with those Hun cavalry with average strength, and the more Wudan thought about it, the more afraid he became.Arekan was also worried.She didn't care about arguing with Wudan anymore, so she immediately turned around and went back to the city, sending someone to inform Hunt Jiaomi, and at the same time relaying Wudan's suggestion to him.After Arekan left, Wudan sat on the edge of the couch, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.If it weren't for Arek's persecution, he wouldn't have considered Liang Xiao's whereabouts at all.As soon as he noticed the problem, he immediately realized the danger.If I were Liang Xiao, what would I do Wu Dan thought.And what kind of reaction will Liang Xiao make to the pressure of the Huns' army, as he did last year, he will do his best to drag the war into winter, and let the cold weather force the Huns to retreatAt the end of August, King Ri led his troops to Suye City, and 20,000 troops besieged Suye City.Because he got the news relatively early, whether it was Creon in the city or Ajuna outside the city, they were fully prepared.According to Liang Xiao's reminder.Creon asked the Han merchants to help, pressed dozens of wells, and solved the problem of draft.In order to hold on for a long time, he purchased a large number of cattle and sheep in advance, slaughtered them, and dried them for storage.In order to solve the problem of troops.Not only did he hire all the mercenaries, but he also sent people to the neighboring cities to recruit many mercenaries.Of course, he also took this opportunity to make a lot of money.In these preparations, the Han merchants played a decisive role.Not only did they help Creon dig wells, they financed Creon's purchase of cattle and sheep to hire mercenaries, but they also advised Creon to strengthen the walls.Although they are not professional soldiers, most of them are from the frontier and have participated in the defense of the city to some extent.I still have some experience in defending the city.They didn't just do it for Creon.Under Liang Xiao's matchmaking, they monopolized a lot of businesses in Suye City, and their lives were in Suye City, and protecting Suye City was also protecting their own property, so they naturally made extra efforts.The defense in the city was strengthened, and the Yue people outside the city were also ready to fight.Because there is plenty of time.Ashana built two wooden fences outside the city, which was connected to the city wall to the north.The south side stretches all the way to the plain leaf water.The people of the Yue clan are recuperating in the wooden city, waiting for the opportunity to attack.Although today's Suye City does not dare to say that it is impregnable, it is also a strong city, which is enough to make the king of the day think twice.After the king of the day inspected the city defenses of Suye City, there was no hasty siege.While he ordered his subordinates to go around to capture the Dawan people and collect grain and grass.While sending people to build siege equipment.For this expedition, he also made a lot of preparations, in addition to the ladders used for siege of the city, he also captured some Han craftsmen who could build siege vehicles.For the Huns, siege engines were a rare siege weapon.Even so.Siege is still not an easy task.The Huns practiced riding and archery since childhood, got on the horse, they were all good men, and when they got off the horse, their lap legs were a little inconvenient.In the process of fighting for the head of the city with the Dawan soldiers, they obviously fell behind, and it took a lot of effort to climb to the top of the city, but before they could gain a firm foothold, they were driven down by the Dawan soldiers at the head of the city.After two days of continuous attack, more than 1,000 casualties were lost, but there was no hope of breaking the city.The king of Rizhu was anxious and angry, so he had to send someone to report to the king of Youxian, and asked him to quickly bring the main force to reinforcements.The siege was a war of attrition, and before the main force arrived, the king was unwilling to pay unnecessary casualties, lest he be taken advantage of by others.When King Youxian received the news of the king of the sun, he also received a report of an attack on the baggage troops in the rear.At the beginning, King Youxian didn't take it too seriously, just thought that those small tribes were looking for reasons and didn't want to march.It was only when one news came after another, and the isolated events gradually became linked, that he realized that this was not an accident, but a series of conscious tactical actions.Even so, King Youxian didn't take it too seriously.He just ordered the chief of the rear army, Tu Wang Ji and Wang Ji, to lead the army to pursue, and to ensure the safety of the baggage.At the same time, the Right Xian King left the Right Valley Liwang and a few Xiao Wang, and ordered them to attack the fortress in the mountain road from the west, and attack the Hunting Arrogant East, in order to open the mountain road as soon as possible and communicate the east and west.Subsequently, King Youxian led a main force of 50,000 to Suye City.In the middle of the mountain pass, Dongbao, the sound of killing shook the sky.Holding on to the stone wall, he stared coldly at the Wusun people who were besieging the city.More than a hundred archers stood by the city walls, stretching their bows and arrows, and shooting constantly.They all wore Greek-style bronze helmets and shot through half iron armor to protect their heads and upper bodies from the Wusun archers under the city.In order to kill as many enemies as possible, they even poked their bodies out of the walls and fired fiercely.More than a hundred warriors armed with shields and spears stood behind the archers, ready to enter battle at any moment.As soon as the Wusun people rushed to the wall, they would pounce on them, kill the Wusun who had not gained a firm foothold, and throw them off the city.Behind them, stood more than a dozen guards armed with long knives.These guards do not kill the enemy, but only the cowardly, but those who are cunning and ineffective in fighting are the targets of their killing.They were armoured all over their bodies, without shields, and stood on the walls like ten death pillars, carrying out their tormented orders, giving no one a chance to be lazy.Under the resistance of these three lines of defense, although the Wusun people paid a lot of casualties, they were never able to overcome this small stone fort.Seeing that it was getting late, Hunter had no choice but to give the order to retreat.Sitting in the big tent, waiting for the latest casualty report, Hunt Jiao was distressed.The disadvantage of the siege was only one aspect of his distress, and the situation of Akaya Castle was what worried him the most.Wudan, who thought he had died a long time ago, suddenly appeared in Akita Castle, said that he moved Arekan and lured Aliusu into the valley, which was a big surprise and caught him off guard.It's naturally a good thing to trap Aliusu, but it's also an unbearable way to be ransacked by Aliusu on both sides of the Akaya River.Akaya Castle is his royal city, and being killed by Arusu in front of the royal city is something that has never happened in so many years of fighting with Aliusu.Because he had planned to keep the enemy out of the valley from the beginning, he did not move the people on both sides of the Akatani River to safety, so they would be slaughtered by Aliusu.That's a lot of money.At the thought of Alusu's horse's hooves trampling on the grass on both sides of the Chigu River, Hunter Jiaomi was distressed, and scolded Arekan for ignorance and Wudan for being damned.Just when Hunter was angry about this, Arekan's envoy returned and conveyed Arekan's suggestion: withdraw his troops back to Akatani Castle, concentrate his forces, and besiege and annihilate Aliusu.After listening to Arek's analysis, the furious hunter suddenly realized that this was indeed a rare opportunity.As Wudan said, it is not good for him to defeat Suye City.This pasture originally belonged to Wusun, but it was only because Lao Wang was defeated by the Yueshi people and Wusun declined that it fell into the hands of Dawan.Now that the Huns are here, are they still willing to go, and they grew up in the court of Shan Yu, and have seen the greed of the Huns, once they see the wealth of Dawan, they will not let go easily.On the contrary, Akaya Castle is where his foundation lies.If Aliusu is killed, the south of the Tianshan Mountains will be the world of the Wusun people.Although there are no great pastures north of the Tian Shan Mountains, there are a large number of oases that are not found north of the Tian Shan Mountains.Hunting arrogantly moved, but he didn't dare to make a sudden decision.He knew the cruelty of the Huns, and if he didn't say goodbye, it wouldn't be long before the Huns would kill Akatani Castle and destroy him completely.After pondering for a long time, he summoned a messenger and asked him to go back to inform Arekan, and he sent a messenger to report to King Youxian, saying that Akaya Castle was attacked by Aliusu and was in danger, and asked King Youxian to send a large army to rescue.Before receiving a reply from King Youxian, Hunter Jiaomi stopped the attack and quietly sent 5,000 men back to Akatani Castle to prepare to besiege and annihilate Alyusu.The battle at the East Fort ended without a hitch, and Yan Mi immediately seized the opportunity to strengthen the city walls and prepare for another battle."
Kill" Liang Xiao shouted loudly, galloped on his horse, and shot several arrows in a row.The three Huns were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and the Huns who followed them didn't even have time to adjust their horses, so they stepped on them directly.The Huns who fell off their horses were trampled by the horses' hooves and screamed fiercely.As the horses' hooves poured in, the screams quickly faded away.Liang Xiao rushed in front of the Huns, and in the midst of Alpha Beta's shouting, two spears stabbed out, knocking off the two Huns who were rushing towards him.Before they could draw their spears, two more horses rushed towards them, drew their bows and arrows, and shot two arrows with a "whoosh"."
Sister be careful," Sigma reminded as she fired two arrows, knocking one of the Huns to the ground."
Poof" Alpha was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and his face turned pale with pain.With a loud shout, she let go of her spear, drew her sword, and met it.With a flash of the sword, the Hun was beheaded."
Alpha, how are you?"
Liang Xiao asked loudly as he shot an arrow."
I'm fine."
Alpha reached out and grabbed the shaft of the arrow, pinched it hard, broke the shaft, and threw it on the ground.A mercenary pulled Alpha's spear from the corpse of the Huns and chased after him."
Alpha, catch."
Alpha reached out to catch it, left spear and right knife, and slashed forward."
Order, left front, assault" Liang Xiao observed the battlefield while shooting arrows, and shouted the order.The herald sounded the horn, and Xie Guanglong, who was rushing to the front, raised his spear and shook it, turned his horse forward, and rushed to the left front to kill the past.
