Chapter 263 Retreat
Liang Xiao vaguely heard the roar full of hostility and couldn't help but sigh.
Is this guy the biological cub of King Hunxie? Why is he so lucky? I shot more than a dozen arrows but couldn't shoot him to death.
Liang Xiao wanted to turn around and give him two more arrows. However, once he missed the opportunity, it would be difficult to catch it again. Wudan's personal guard camp had already begun to pursue it. Once they were entangled, it would be difficult for these more than a hundred people to escape.
"Accelerate! Accelerate!" Liang Xiao ordered repeatedly.
Xie Guanglong and others, who were leading the charge, also heard the roars and horse hooves of the Huns. They did not dare to neglect them and turned to kill the Huns' front camp.
Seeing that Liang Xiao and others wanted to run away, the Huns quickly sounded the horn and reminded the left camp to intercept the front camp. Although Liang Xiao quickly shot and killed the horn soldiers, the Huns still sent the signal out.
So far, the Hou Battalion, the Right Battalion and the Central Army have been impacted, and only the Zuo Battalion and the Front Battalion have not been affected. Hearing the horn of the Central Army, the Front Battalion immediately took action. They lined up between the tents, preparing to intercept Liang Xiao and his party.
Seeing the movements in the front camp of the Xiongnu, Xie Guanglong was a little uneasy and shouted loudly: "Sir, what should I do?"
Liang Xiao roared without hesitation: "Kill! God blocks the gods, Buddha blocks the Buddhas!"
Xie Guanglong was still hesitant, but Pang Shuo roared loudly: "Hey, God blocks the gods, Buddha blocks the Buddha blocks the Buddha!" ββHe kicked the war horse hard, and the Qing Cong long neighed, rushed forward again. Xie Guanglong gritted his teeth and roared: "Okay, kill his mother!" He slapped the horse and chased him fiercely.
The knights all knew that the attack camp had reached its most difficult time. They successfully disrupted the enemy camp and achieved the predetermined goal. Now there is only one last step left: whether they can fight out alive.
As time goes by, the Huns in the front camp have been prepared and will not give them a chance to attack again. If they want to rush out, they must fight out with their real skills. The Huns have more than 2,000 people in the front camp, and at least ten tents are thick in the camp. Whether their 108 cavalry break out in time or are trapped by the Huns is a matter of a moment.
If it were normal times, they would inevitably be shaken. However, after experiencing the previous battle and achieving unexpected success, they were very clear about the pros and cons of both sides. They were even more confident in Liang Xiao. Hearing Liang Xiao's roar, they all responded with enthusiasm one by one.
"The god blocks the gods, the Buddha blocks the Buddhas! Kill!"
Everyone accelerated again and rushed towards the front camp of the Huns without hesitation. At the same time, Liang Xiao ordered to abandon the horses. When he left the city, each of them brought two horses. After changing to the horses, the horses did not give up and kept charging with the team. This was done, on the one hand, so that the horses could be transferred when the horses were injured, and on the other hand, for the present.
When the horse was released, Liang Xiao and others slashed the horse's buttocks without hesitation. The horse was in pain and rushed towards the Huns in a mad manner. After the formation of Liang Xiao and others was reduced, it became sharper. It was like a narrow sword, following closely behind the injured war horse and rushed towards the front camp of the Huns.
The Huns were caught off guard and avoided the situation, and the formation was immediately shattered. Liang Xiao and others took advantage of the situation to break in and kill.
Despite this, the Xiongnu formation still affected the speed of Liang Xiao and others. The Xiongnu continued to come from both sides, trying to block the way Liang Xiao and others, Wudan's personal guard camp also chased him closer and closer. Blasts of rain shot out, and gradually there was a momentum of siege.
Liang Xiao had long estimated that this situation was happening and made full preparations. Seeing this, he shouted: "Niu'er. Breaking through the formation."
From the beginning of the battle, Tu Niuer and eleven mercenary infantry were protected in the formation, and they had basically never acted, so they protected their physical strength. For this moment, they had long been envious of their companions. Now it was finally time for themselves to perform. They were so excited that they jumped off their horses and rushed out from the outer horses. Even Pang Shuo could not hold back, jumped off their horses, held their swords in both hands, and rushed towards the Huns.
Tu Niuer rushed in front, raised his sword and cut down a Hun, knocked his sword across the body, killed another person, swung his shield, and smashed another person. He punched and slashed his sword, and killed several people in a while, tearing a gap in the Huns formation.
The mercenaries protected both sides of him and entered into a new sharp blade. Behind them, Alexander and others followed closely, waving their spears to help them break the formation. The four Alphas and seven archer mercenaries pulled their bows and arrows and shot against the Huns.
For a moment, arrows were flying, and people kept getting shot.
At the same time, Liang Xiao and thirty Yuezhi cavalry used their bows and arrows to block the Huns chasing behind him. He fired several arrows in succession and shot the several Huns who were chasing the tightest. The Yuezhi cavalry was not willing to be outdone. The bowstrings sounded sharply, and the arrows shot quickly and accurately. The Huns were shot in the whole earth one after another, with a chaos in the formation and a sharp reduction in pursuit speed.
Although there were only thirty-one people, these thirty-one bows made hundreds of Huns in a mess, and they were overturned.
Liang Xiao was well prepared, and 108 cavalrymen were all wearing iron armor. Although they were shot by the Huns, everyone was hit by many arrows and injured, but with the protection of the iron armor, most of the injuries they suffered were not fatal, but instead aroused the survival, becoming more and more fierce, killing the Huns to retreat step by step.
In terms of equipment, these Huns obviously cannot be compared with Liang Xiao and others; in terms of infantry combat capabilities, the Huns cannot be compared with Tu Niuer and others; in terms of tactics, they do not have the three-dimensional attacks arranged in advance by Liang Xiao. They just rely on their number of people and their bloody courage to delay time as much as possible.
Although they forced Liang Xiao and others to dismount and fight in stairs, they could not really stop Liang Xiao and others from advancing. Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo were in front and eleven mercenaries were behind, and they broke a big hole in the formation of the Huns and broke out before the other Huns arrived.
As soon as the pressure in front of him decreased, the Greek teenagers immediately began to accelerate and rushed to the periphery again. Tu Niuer and others retreated into the formation and turned over the horse.
"Let's go! Let's go!" Liang Xiao was overjoyed, and shouted loudly while pulling his bow and arrow.
Everyone roared excitedly, kicked the war horses hard, and rushed towards the Yuezhi people camp not far away.
The Huns were red from their eyes and chased them. Liang Xiao and others fled while shooting. The Huns were shot by arrows and fell off their horses, watching Liang Xiao and others run farther and farther away.
The Yuezhi people opened the camp gate in time and took Liang Xiao and others into the camp. Asha was wearing a helmet and armor, and personally directed the Yuezhi people to shoot a rain of arrows, blocking the Huns outside the camp. Although the Huns were so angry that they looked at the solid camp gate of the Yuezhi people, they could only return in disappointment.
Seeing the Huns retreat, the Yuezhi people burst into cheers like thunder.
That night, the Yuezhi people did not close their eyes. Ah She arranged the response and waited anxiously for the news from Liang Xiao and others.
This is not only because Liang Xiao has thirty personal guards around him, but also because whether this battle can succeed affects the morale of both sides. If Liang Xiao successfully attacks the camp and even shoots Wudan, the Huns will collapse and be defeated without a fight. Taking a step back, even if Wudan is fine, their morale will be frustrated and the subsequent siege will be greatly affected. But if Liang Xiao and others die in battle, the trouble will be great.
From the moment Liang Xiao left, Ashana's heart was hanging. Especially when the Huns' camp heard the sound of trumpets of battle. When the Huns on both wings rushed into the middle, his heart even reached his throat. He knew very well that the advantage of Liang Xiao and others was the surprise attack. Once they lost their speed and were trapped by the Huns, even if they were brave, it would be difficult for them to survive.
Fortunately, Liang Xiao broke through the encirclement before the Xiongnu reinforcements were in place.
When he saw Liang Xiao appear, Asha Na almost laughed out loud, and Batu was so happy that he jumped and jumped, wishing he could be in it. Seeing Batu, who had always been ignorant of doing business, Asha Na felt inexplicably relieved.
Liang Xiao turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet, walked quickly towards Ashana, and bowed to him from a distance.
"Thank you for your support. Dalu is unwilling to thank you, I remember it in my heart."
Ashana shook her head repeatedly and looked at Liang Xiao with concern. "Liang Jun, how is his injury? After being hit by so many arrows, he is seriously injured, right?"
Liang Xiao was indeed hit by a lot of arrows, all of whom became hedgehogs. The Huns recognized him and wanted to shoot him. If he hadn't been well prepared, he had worn an extra layer of silk soft armor in the armor. It would be hard to say whether he could come out alive. Despite this, he was still injured.
"It is inevitable to fight on the battlefield, and it is inevitable to be injured. It is luck to be able to come back alive." Liang Xiaozhe yelled over the thirty Yuezhi cavalry and smiled: "They are all real warriors. Without them help, it would be difficult for us to escape the pursuit of the Huns."
Ashana glanced at him and was very surprised. "Isn't that bad?"
"One is not bad." Liang Xiao laughed. "Lucky, luck. There are many of the 108 cavalry who attacked this time, and all of them are back."
Ashana was both surprised and happy. Such a dangerous battle, there were actually many, which was a miracle.
"Mr. Liang, you are really..." Ashana happily pulled Liang Xiao's hand and shook it again and again, not knowing what to say. At this time, Xigma came over with Wudan's battle flag and said as if offering treasures: "Da Lu, this is the battle flag we took from Wudan's hands."
"Wudan's battle flag?" Ashana took the battle flag, looked at it again and again, shook his head repeatedly, unable to believe his eyes. Batu also held the battle flag and smiled from ear to ear. "Wudan, this Hun dog, has today. If he dares to come to our camp to arrogance tomorrow, I will show him this battle flag."
"He probably won't come tomorrow," said Sigma. "He was shot down by my master. Maybe he broke his leg and he will be kept for a while."
Asha's eyes lit up: "Is Wu Shan injured?"
Liang Xiao nodded and smacked his lips with some regret. "I shot two arrows and screamed loudly. It must be because I was injured. Unfortunately, I didn't shoot to death. It's really a pity. Otherwise, Su Ye City would be safe."
"Hahaha..." Ashana laughed loudly. "Mr. Liang, you have too high requirements for yourself. Being able to do this will greatly dampen the spirit of the Huns. If you shoot Wu Dan to death, what chances do we have to make contributions?"β
