Chapter 217 Lure the enemy

Emperor Jing's think tank Chao Cuo has a famous article "Commentary on Military Affairs", which discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the Han and the Huns. He once said: if you dismount the horse and fight in the ground, swords and halberds will be connected, and if you go, you will be weak, then the foot of the Huns will not be given. ◇↓↓ Novel.¥f

The Huns were good at riding and shooting, and horses were their legs. Once they dismounted and fought with the Han people with swords and shields, they were obviously at a disadvantage. Even the elite guards around King Hunxie could only resist and not fight back against these Han raids who were surviving.

After nearly two months of running-in, Pang Shuo and Xie Guanglong had become one with each other, one sword and one spear, and cooperated with tacit understanding, one attacked in close combat and the other stabbed in the distance. Basically, the four Huns were killed in front of the formation and rushed to the five Huns on the other side.

Liang Xiao and the other two climbed up the big rock, shot down from a high point, and shot fiercely, suppressing the Hun archers on the hillside with all their might. The Huns shot upward, but their bows were not strong enough, so it was difficult to shoot them, but their arrows could easily shoot down the hillside. The Hun archers were completely passively beaten. Although they wanted to rush up, they were unable to do so in the face of the rugged mountain road. They could not take care of their heads, and they were in a mess.

In the blink of an eye, Pang Shuo and Xie Guanglong cooperated to kill all the five Huns, cut off their heads, and threw them down along the hillside.

Li Shuyun and others rushed out and searched out the weapons and dry food on the Huns, especially the most in short supply of arrows, as much as possible. Liang Xiao's arrows were about to be used up. If an archer had no arrows, his martial arts were abolished, and their group would also lose their important core.

With almost a few words, all the ten Huns who had finally climbed up the mountain were killed, and none of them survived. Ten hairpins were scattered on the hillside, and a few rolled to the bottom of the mountain, landed in front of the Huns archers, and landed in front of the Huns who were preparing to continue attacking.

The Huns were frightened and looked at each other. During the three-day pursuit, they, who were famous for riding and shooting, failed to catch Liang Xiao and others. They were already a little lacking in confidence. Now ten companions were cut off their heads in the blink of an eye. The strength of both sides was obviously not on the same level. How can they fight?

If you rush up further, wouldn’t you die?

Someone mentioned a head and rushed to the front of King Hunxie.

King Hunxie was so angry that his hands were trembling and his eyes were straight. He looked at the head in front of him, then at Liang Xiao on the hillside, and realized that he had kicked the stone.

Liang Xiao retreated to the hillside and was ready to block on the spot. The Huns were not good at fighting each other and were in an unfavorable terrain. It was really difficult to take down Liang Xiao. Continuing to attack strongly is tantamount to pushing these elite knights into the fire pit.

What to do? King Hunxie hesitated for a moment.

When King Hunxie was hesitating, Liang Xiao was not idle either. He gathered everyone in front of him, and while selecting available arrows from the arrows he picked up, he ordered: "The Huns are not good at fighting in stints, this is our opportunity. However, the longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it is for us, and we must fight quickly and decide quickly. Therefore, we must show weakness and make the Huns feel that these people can win, and there is no need to wait. In this way, we have the opportunity to kill the big fish King Hunxie, do you understand?"

"I understand." Everyone responded.

Xie Guanglong was very excited. "Sir, how much can I reward if I kill King Hunxie?"

Liang Xiao glanced at him. "If you can kill King Hunxie, no matter who succeeds, everyone will be rewarded. But if anyone grabs the merit and ruins a big deal, don't be humble. Look, there are so many stones on the mountain, find a suitable one to kill."

Everyone laughed. Xie Guanglong touched his head awkwardly and said repeatedly: "Sir, don't worry, I will never dare this time. I will never dare."

Liang Xiao nodded, picked up an arrow, and praised: "I didn't expect that the Huns also had such exquisite arrows."

"Sir, these people are the personal guards of King Hunxie, so of course they use the best arrows." Xie Guanglong enthusiastically picked up an arrow and took a look. "If I guess correctly, this should be the arrow produced by Zesuo Valley. Zesuo Valley is located in the land of King Hunxie. It has a kind of excellent wood, which is most suitable for making arrow shafts, and a kind of black eagle, and its feathers are suitable for making arrow feathers."

Liang Xiao nodded repeatedly. The shafts of these arrows were hard and straight, with good elasticity, and the feathers were also very straight and erect. They were indeed rare arrows.

"When collecting arrows in the future, collect all such arrows as much as possible." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "and then return to the Huns."

Everyone laughed and nodded repeatedly.

Liang Xiao told them to hurry up, eat more, drink some water, and replenish their energy. While eating, Liang Xiao told them about his plans. The horses were gone, and walking on foot would definitely not escape the pursuit of the Huns. Therefore, they not only had to kill King Hunxie, but also kill them cleanly and quickly, and it would be best to steal their horses.

To achieve this goal, we must induce King Hunxie to underestimate the enemy and go up the mountain to pursue. In addition, there is another advantage in luring the Huns to the mountain. We can make full use of the terrain to ambush and sneak attacks, and obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost. This step must be done cleverly without revealing traces. When the Huns react, it will be too late to regret it.

After hearing this, everyone nodded repeatedly. You said, I said, and designed according to the strategy decided by Liang Xiao. These people are not kind people in normal times, and fighting in groups is common. People like Pang Shuo even did a lot of unethical things. Xie Guanglong and others were able to wander on the Xiongnu grasslands and live until now, so they are naturally not a good-looking lamp. They want to cheat people, but it is really an idea to blink their eyes.

It was not long, and everyone had decided to let Guo Wenbin, who was the weakest in combat power, but he was familiar with the terrain, climbed up to find a way, and the others looked for good partners to match. This kind of small-scale close combat requires cooperation the most, and finding people who can play and trust can increase their chances of survival.

Before he could stop, Guo Wenbin led the moon and stood up and climbed up the mountain. Liang Xiao stood up, jumped onto a big rock, raised the head of the Gulu Fox and shook it. Just as he was about to shout, a few maggots fell down. Xie Guanglong stood below, looking up at him, and several maggots fell into his mouth.

"Damn it! What's the matter?" Xie Guanglong cursed, spit out maggots, and spat two more times.

"This is meat." Pang Shuo smiled strangely. "Old Xie, don't you always think about eating meat? Why are you willing to spit it out?"

"Why do you want? There is still here." Xie Guanglong rolled his eyes and was furious.

"Don't! You'd better use it yourself." Pang Shuo immediately closed his mouth and made a chilling grimace.

Liang Xiao ignored them, shook the head of Gulu Fox and shouted loudly: "Hey, your son's head is here, do you want it? If not, I'll kick it as Cuju."

As he said that, Liang Xiao threw the head up and kicked it out with a light kick. Li Shuyun climbed onto another big rock, hooked his legs, gently caught it, and kicked it back. Liang Xiao didn't have this ability, and his legs hurt so much that he had to watch the head roll down. Guo Wu snatched it, reached out to catch it, and threw it up again.

A few people kicked the Gulu Fox as a ball and had a lot of fun and shouted.

King Hunxie was heartbroken and ordered an attack regardless of everything. In order to boost morale, he drew out his battle knife and went into battle himself. In addition to a few guarding the war horses, eighty or ninety Huns rushed towards the hillside.

Liang Xiao and others fought and retreated based on the favorable terrain.

The more you go up the mountain, the harder the road is, with strange rocks and intertwined dogs and teeth. The Huns were not good at fighting in stairs. On such a road, there were archers greetings on their heads. If King Hun Xie had not personally supervised the battle, few people would have been willing to climb up.

Despite this, they still had a very difficult journey. Liang Xiao took advantage of his range and precision advantages to attack outside the range of the Huns and carried out targeted strikes on the Huns. From time to time, the Huns were injured by arrows, and even killed by him with one arrow.

The Huns also fought back desperately, but on the one hand, they were on the downhill and had limited range, and on the other hand, Liang Xiao was wearing the exquisite iron armor of Gulu Fox. Even if they were lucky, they shot Liang Xiao, it would be useless. The weakened arrows could not penetrate the iron armor at all, but instead sent Liang Xiao a few arrows.

While the two sides were chasing, the Huns already knew that Liang Xiao's archery skills were good, but there was a melee at that time, and most of the people who were shot were caught and died. Not many people had seen Liang Xiao's accurate shooting skills with their own eyes. At this moment, on the narrow mountain road, every string sound of Liang Xiao would arouse a scream or a muffled sound, and Liang Xiao's shooting skills were displayed in front of them without any concealment.

Gradually, the sound of Liang Xiao's bowstring became the sound that the Huns feared the most. Every string would make the Huns shrink backwards involuntarily.

Despite this, the Huns still surrounded them from different directions by relying on their numerical advantage.

Liang Xiao immediately retreated, and before the Huns surrounded him, he retreated dozens of steps to the mountain, and once again seized a selected terrain to block the Huns. Tu Niuer used the Han Festival to carry the head of Gulu Fox and followed Liang Xiao tightly, just like holding Liang Xiao's battle flag.

Listening to the screams after scream, King Hunxie was in great pain. But as soon as he saw his son's head, he could not control his anger and kept urging his subordinates to attack.

In addition to being angry, he also discovered a phenomenon that Liang Xiao and others' counterattacks became weaker and weaker. Except for Liang Xiao using arrows to block long-range attacks, there was almost no fierce melee battle. Even if it appeared, it was just a sneak attack, killing one or two people and running away, without the desire to fight at all.

More importantly, he found that these Han people were in poor physical strength. They were panting when climbing the mountain, and several of them fell. If the Huns were not as tired as they were, they might have been able to catch a few of them.

This discovery made King Hunxie, who was originally somewhat hesitant, excited, relaxed his vigilance, and constantly urged his subordinates to move forward.

The two sides were entangled for half a day. When it was dark, Liang Xiao retreated to a ridge, which was already six or seven hundred steps away from the foot of the mountain. After paying the price of twenty or thirty people, King Hun Xie finally trapped Liang Xiao on the ridge. Behind Liang Xiao was a bare cliff with no hiding place. Liang Xiao's white horse was standing by the edge of the cliff, and the sound of water came faintly.

"Surrender!" King Hunxie gasped and said loudly: "I will leave you a complete body."—
