Chapter 642: First Battle


Under the introduction and demonstration of Tuxise, Liang Xiao spent two days visiting several of the strongest tribal leaders, and after Liang Xiao's patient explanation, these leaders half-pushed and half-agreed to Liang Xiao's request, and sent troops to assist Liang Xiao in dealing with the right virtuous king and hunting arrogance.They were willing to do this, on the one hand, because Liang Xiao drew a big pie for them, promising that in the future, a large number of merchants would pass through this place to bring them more good things, and their furs could be sold for a higher price, and on the other hand, they were afraid to kill them because of the arrogance of hunting.Although the vast majority of the tribes did not know the specific situation, the practice of hunting arrogantly and using the Cypriots as cannon fodder succeeded in arousing the hatred of the Cypriots.In two days, Liang Xiao recruited 3,000 Cypriot cavalry.Originally, he could have had more men and horses, but Liang Xiao refused, he just asked the tribes to retreat as far east as possible, until they were halfway up the hill to safety.As for the 3,000 cavalry, Liang Xiao asked them to prepare as many armor and weapons as possible to prepare for battle.Of course, in the event of victory, they will also be eligible to participate in the distribution of loot, regardless of whether they participated in the battle or not.Seeing that Liang Xiao had three thousand Cypriot cavalry, Ah Xiana was envious.He originally had 5,000 horsemen, but after several major battles, his losses also reached nearly forty percent, and now the number of people who can still go into battle normally is more than 3,000 horsemen.He also wanted to recruit Cypriots as soldiers like Liang Xiao, but he didn't have the appeal of Liang Xiao, and he didn't have a large number of Han businessmen to lure the Cypriots, so he could only watch these new recruits drool.When the three thousand cavalry were assembled in place, the Right Sage King also arrived.Because he had to wait for the baggage camp, King Youxian didn't go fast.He also knew that Liang Xiao had nowhere to go, so he was not in a hurry, cleaning up the battlefield as he walked, not only taking the Wusun rout soldiers under his command one by one, but also looting the horses, weapons, armor and even the belongings on the corpses that he saw along the way.The most sought-after among them is the equipment of the Great Xia Jiaqi and the knights of the Han Army, but the number is relatively small, and the total is only more than thirty bodies, all of which have been divided among the middle and senior generals, and then the equipment of the Yue clan people, about five or six hundred.Standing on the slope and seeing the armor on the Huns, Ah Xiana felt very uncomfortable, and Doros was also very uncomfortable, scolding and scolding, and had been ruthless, wanting to personally go to battle to kill the Huns who insulted the remains of the Great Xia Jiaqi, and avenge the knights who died in battle.Liang Xiao pressed Doros.How can there be immortals in a war, because a few armors are out of order, not the style of a general.The best way to get revenge is to defeat them, not to worry about someone's life or death."

Don't be so nervous, the armor must form a scale to have combat effectiveness, and one or two people are useless.""

I know, I just don't feel comfortable looking at it.""

If you don't feel well, you can train well and try to reduce a little casualties."

Doros nodded, anger still burning in his eyes.Liang Xiao said again: "Relax, wait for a while, you won't be too late."

The Cypriots are here to watch the battle, and to really break the enemy, it depends on the means of you and Dalu. ”Doros was stunned for a moment."

Watch the array, watch what array" "Look how you shake your majesty." ”Liang Xiao said with a smile: "I'm borrowing your tiger skin and pulling my banner, don't fall down and make me embarrassed." ”Doros rolled his eyes, understood, and couldn't help laughing."

Don't worry, I won't disgrace you.Speaking of which, the strength of the armor rider is really thanks to you.If you hadn't helped me change my war horse, equip me with iron armor and spears, and train for so long, how could the armored horse be so powerful. ”Liang Xiao smiled.You know, just cooperate with me, we're still good friends.If you dump me, I will cut off your horse and armor at that time, and see how many days you can jump.It's not easy to control Ayana, and controlling you is not a matter of words.Not to mention anything else, without Dawan horse as a mount, the power of the armor horse must be reduced by at least three percent.Although Doros is rude, he still has combat experience and knows the severity."

What the hell are you thinking about being so polite all of a sudden?"

Doros laughed wryly."

No, no, don't worry, I will definitely obey your orders.Otherwise, my sister wouldn't have let me go. ”Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and Doros pulled out Mosuyeye as a cover-up, there would be no other intentions, it was definitely to do good.However, he didn't pierce Doros's careful thoughts, and if he didn't hold Doros firmly in his hands, how could he let Ayana bow down to his orders."

I want to add some more armor," Doros was stunned for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly."

I know it's a bit excessive, but there's no way around it.You also know, the Parthians are restless now, and sooner or later we will go to war with them.Great Xia had limited troops and could only take the route of elite soldiers.If we can have another 500 armor rides, we will have a much better chance of winning.At that time, not only will it be able to block the invasion of Parthia, but the war against Tianzhu will also be much smoother. ”"You are still preparing to go south to Tianzhu" "No way.The strength of the Yue people is too strong, even if we become allies, we have to open up the battlefield of Tianzhu, otherwise we won't be able to survive. ”Liang Xiao didn't say anything, just nodded.Everyone has a chance to live better.In this era, no one talks about humanitarianism or pacifism, the law of the jungle is the strong, and the big fist is the truth.The people of Daxia couldn't beat the Yueshi, so they had to go to Tianzhu.Then again, Tianzhu, an ancient civilization, seems to have been constantly manipulated in history.Otherwise, I will also go and occupy the large 6 of the sub-large 6 at once, and it will be very convenient for the sea ships to come and go in the future, and I can go all the way to the south and occupy all the place, so as not to give birth to some monkeys to make trouble.At this moment, the trumpet sounded in front, and Ahana issued a warning that the Huns were ready to attack.Doros arched his hand to Liang Xiao and galloped away with a few guards, ready to fight.Liang Xiao hurriedly raised his clairvoyance and looked at the battlefield under the hillside.He just glanced at it and smiled.As soon as the smile was revealed, he sighed: "When the hunt was arrogant and drove the Cypriots into battle, I definitely didn't think of this day." ”Tu Xise was curious, and hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What's the matter" Liang Xiao didn't say anything, just handed the clairvoyance to Tu Xise.Tuhisse had long heard of such an artifact as clairvoyance, and at this moment, he was fortunate enough to be able to touch it with his own hands, and he was immediately glorious.He put the clairvoyance in front of his eyes, and first exclaimed exaggeratedly, which caused the other Cypriots to itch in their hearts, and they wanted to grab it and take a look, but they were embarrassed to act too naïve and be laughed at."

Wusun Man" Tuheise raised his eyebrows slightly, and then slapped his thigh."

It's really retribution, retribution" "What's wrong, what's wrong" The Cypriot leaders couldn't hold back their curiosity and surrounded them one after another."

The Huns used the Wusun people as cannons" Tuheise thought for a while, and finally remembered the word Liang Xiao said."

Cannon fodder, yes, cannon fodder.Now it is the Wusun people who are preparing to attack. ”"What do you deserve?"

"The sky has eyes, retribution, retribution." ”The Cypriots patted their foreheads one after another to express their gratitude to God.The Wusun people who killed a thousand knives finally received retribution, and they were used as cannon fodder by the Huns, and they deserved it.It can be seen that it is more reliable to follow Liang Xiao.Although Liang Xiao recruited 3,000 Cypriots as soldiers, he did not let the Cypriots be cannon fodder, he left them at the end and waited until the pursuit to use them, instead of letting them die in vain.This is the difference, the kindness of the Han people and the cruelty of the Wusun people are clear at a glance.Those Cypriots, who were originally a little reluctant, felt much more comfortable when they saw this scene, a little more proud out of thin air, and their rejection of Liang Xiao was also a little lighter.Liang Xiao saw it in his eyes, and he was secretly happy in his heart.He shook his head."

My Han sages have a saying, if you don't teach, you will be killed, these Wusun people have just lost the battle, and their minds are undecided, how can they go into battle immediately.It's too inhumane for King Youxian to do this. ”"yes, it's inhuman.""

Alas, the Wusun people have committed their own iniquities, and now they have suffered retribution, so the general should not pity them.""

Yes, yes, General, the Wusun people are wolf cubs with no conscience.We give them so many people, cattle, sheep, and possessions every year, and he still treats us like this, it's really damned. ”Liang Xiao nodded."

The Wusun people are indeed self-inflicted and deserve to die, and I hope they will learn a lesson in the future and stop being so cruel.Soldiers who fought and died on the battlefield to protect their homeland were well deserved.Forcing people into battle, but it is a big deaf. ”"The general has a point."

The Cypriots nodded in agreement.When Liang Xiao quietly instilled ideas in the Cypriots, the battle had already been fought under the hillside, and five hundred Wusun people were forced to go to the battlefield under the urging of the sound of horns.They rushed to the position of Ayana and began firing more than a hundred paces away.For the first time, Ayana served as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield and faced the enemy head-on.He laid out a terrain of two arrows according to the characteristics of the terrain, and asked a thousand knights to dismount and draw bows and line up on the slopes on both sides of the river valley, leaving a passage of about twenty paces in the middle.A thousand knights lined up a hundred paces behind the arrow array, and two hundred men were in a column, from left to right, divided into five columns, ready to leap their horses and attack at any time.The remaining 1,000 or so cavalry were led by Ashana himself, as a mobile force, to replenish the archers or go down the mountain to attack the enemy according to the actual situation.The defending Yueshi people are condescending, and they can take advantage of the hillside to add a hundred steps away from the arrow array.The attacking Wusun people were against the trend, whether they were charging on horseback or on foot, they were in a very uncomfortable state.In the end, they opted for foot combat.Although they are not good at foot combat, riding is more disadvantageous for them in this kind of terrain.Without a degree, the war horse will not be able to wield its due combat power at all, and it will only increase casualties.The Wusun people held their shields and approached about a hundred paces, and they were blocked by the arrow array of the Yueshi people.With the help of the slope, the Yueshi people can easily shoot arrows to the heads of the Wusun people, and the Wusun people are full of bows, but they still can't shoot the Yueshi people, and occasionally the ones that are shot have lost their strength, fluttering and flickering, and have no lethality.In order to be able to truly engage, they had to brave the arrow array of the Yue Clan to go up.From the very beginning, the Usun people were in a very unfavorable situation.Standing on the hillside, King Youxian raised his hand, blocking the dazzling sunlight, and watched the battlefield situation intently.As soon as he arrived here and looked at the terrain, he knew that this was a difficult positional battle, so he knew that this would make the Wusun people resist, so he still sent these newly descended Wusun people into battle to try Liang Xiao's deployment first.Now it seems that it is right to arrange for the Wusun people to go into battle, otherwise it will be the Huns who will be killed or wounded.Youxian Wang frowned, endured it for a long time, but still couldn't hold back, and sighed with a long sigh.Although the war had just begun, he already felt that there was no hope of victory.This battle seems to be where he is chasing Liang Xiao, but it is not an exaggeration to say that Liang Xiao wants to lead him here for a decisive battle.This terrain is too suitable for defense, it is simply prepared for Liang Xiao, who is good at defense, but for him, this is a very unfavorable terrain, not only the strength of the Huns cavalry and archery can not be waved, but even the advantage of troops can not be waved.The Right Virtuous King gave up watching the battle.The situation on the battlefield is already clear at a glance, it is impossible for these five hundred Wusun people to break through Ajuna's position, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated, the difference is only how many people can come back.He looked farther down the hillside, where Liang Xiao's battle flag stood.Liang Xiao was not alone, there was a dense sheepskin battle flag behind him, which was the cavalry of the Cypriots.Liang Xiao and the Cypriots have joined forces, and his strength has become stronger.As soon as he thought of this, King Youxian couldn't help but sigh again.He had a feeling that this expedition was about to stop there, and that it would be difficult to take another step forward.Of course, it's not bad to be able to do this, occupying most of the Ili River Valley, as long as he can solve the baggage problem, he can go down with Liang Xiao.Winter is coming, the best pastures are under his control, Liang Xiao's control of the pastures is limited, if he wants to survive, he can only slaughter a large number of cattle and sheep of the Cypriots to eat meat to survive.Whether the Cypriots will agree to this is probably a question.While pondering, the Right Virtuous King secretly cursed Hunting Arrogance.If it weren't for the arrogance of hunting and forcing the Cypriots to go into battle and send them to death, how could the Cypriots easily cling to Liang Xiao.If there were no Cypriots to rely on, how could Liang Xiao dare to abandon the position at the mouth of the gorge and rush all the way here.In the complaint of the Right Xian King, the five hundred Wusun people attacked for a long time without success, threw down more than a hundred corpses, and slowly retreated, ready to give up this attack.But they miscalculated.They were about to give up the attack, but Ayana didn't intend to let them go.At the sound of an order, two hundred knights rode out and galloped through the middle of the two arrow arrays.Taking advantage of the slope, the war horses quickly increased, and when they reached the front of the Wusun people, it was already the rumbling of hooves.There is hardly any suspense, a charge, and the Yueshi people cut more than a hundred.They did not chase far, and after passing the Wusun, they rushed to the slopes on either side, and by the fact that the slope was reduced, they turned around on the slopes and charged again.The Wusun people's formation was swept to pieces, more than half of them were killed and wounded, countless people lay on the hillside and groaned and wailed, and the rest of the people trembled and had no faces.King Youxian sighed again and sent cavalry to support.Seeing the Hun cavalry out of battle, the Yueshi people did not fall in love with the battle, and quickly retreated to the slope.The Huns rushed down the slope, but did not dare to attack, so they had to meet the remnants of Wusun and return in a hurry.The people of the Yue clan were jubilant, the horns were whirring, the knights raised their weapons and cheered loudly, and the archers raised their bows and played the strings in celebration.Ajuna was also pleased, and immediately ordered the arrows to be picked up and brought back two knightly wounded men who had fallen from the stumbling hooves of their horses.The two knights returned to the formation, causing bursts of laughter, and they themselves felt bored, so they were embarrassed to hide aside.Liang Xiao smiled: "You can rest assured now" Tu Xise and the others nodded again and again."

Lord Arrow God is right, the Huns are nothing to fear.""

That's the end of it, I haven't seen it yet.""

That's right, the Wusun people died too little, and they should all be killed in front of the battle.""

Yes, the Yueshi people just can't do it, if we go into battle, none of these Wusun people will be able to escape."

Liang Xiao smiled and said nothing.
