Chapter 311 Can, Show It Can't
ps: Where are the Merry Christmas gifts?
The veterans were full of anger, and they took advantage of the advantageous terrain. They killed the Huns with great pain as soon as they attacked. Although they were equipped with spears, their skills of using spears were not on the same level as those of these veterans. The veterans not only had their own sharp killing methods, but also had a tacit understanding of each other. One person set off the opponent's weapons, the other person was short and the spear was stabbed when distracted. The Huns were stabbed without any time to react.
The Huns' spear and sword fell on the shield and made a clanging sound.
The veterans' spears pierced into the bodies of the Huns, and the Huns screamed in pain.
With just one meal, the Huns could not hold on anymore. Half of them had fallen into a pool of blood. The rest became timid and began to retreat. Seeing this, the veterans on the hillside surrounded from both sides, intending to intercept the Huns' retreat. When the Huns saw this, they were even more frightened and then defeated. The veterans chased after more than ten steps, and some people threw out their spears and stabbed the escaped Huns to the hearts.
The Huns cried and howled, and rolled down the mountain. Sixty or seventy corpses were thrown down the hillside. Blood flowed along the hillside and soaked into the grass. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, but the Greek veterans were very excited and slammed the shield with the spear in their hands and roared proudly.
Liang Xiao was overjoyed. The strength shown by the veterans exceeded his expectations. He knew that he would win, but he did not expect that he would win so easily.
Looking at the excited eyes of the veterans hugging and laughing, Liang Xiao smiled. He looked at the Huns under the hillside and had a new plan. He called the veterans to check the injuries. Several veterans were injured in flesh and blood, but they didn't care, but instead joked louder. He looked like he was heroic with blood as wine.
Liang Xiao said: "Now the rotation is taking place. Those who have just fought retreat to the back formation. Those who are injured are quick to bandage. No one is allowed to go into battle without my order."
Before he finished speaking, the veterans expressed strong dissatisfaction. Especially those veterans who were only slightly injured but were ordered by Liang Xiao to leave the front line were even more angry, as if they had been greatly insulted.
"Sir, we haven't had a good time killing yet, how can we retreat?"
"Sir, what can some skin trauma cause? I just got so angry that I could retreat?"
Liang Xiao smiled slightly: "Have you not killed Changkang yet?"
"No." The veterans said in unison.
"Okay. Let you kill me today. But you have to listen to me." Liang Xiao pointed to the Huns at the foot of the mountain. "See, we will kill all the Huns here, and not leave any of them."
The veterans were overjoyed and somewhat suspicious. Liang Xiao believed in their combat effectiveness, which was of course a good thing, but the Huns were not stupid, so how could they continue to rush up even after suffering major casualties?
"Don't believe it?" Liang Xiao laughed. He squatted down, drew a sketch on the ground, and talked about the tactics he had just planned.
He was worried about the huge gap in military strength. The veterans couldn't support it for too long, so he used fierce means to counterattack strongly. He planned to scare away the Huns. But now seeing that the veterans' combat power is still there, if the terrain is good, he can completely defeat the more with less, so he naturally had a bigger plan.
When he was learning art from Huan Yuan, Huan Yuan dictated the art of war and first emphasized the terrain. Under his command, Liang Xiao developed the good habit of carefully checking the terrain whenever he went. Even in a fast marching, he was no exception. It was precisely because of this that when he encountered a strong enemy, he could retreat to the hillside in time.
After checking the nearby terrain, he had new plans. The overall slope of this hillside was not large. However, there were several platforms, and they were now on the edge of the lowest platform. The reason why the Huns were unable to rush up was because the slope they were about to take was larger than the entire hillside. After rushing to this platform, there would be a flat ground of fifty steps wide and thirty steps long.
Liang Xiao decided to use this slope difference to lure the enemy. On the one hand, he asked the veterans not to fight back too hard, to leave enough strength, to make false appearances of being unable to support themselves, and not to scare the Huns away, to make them feel that they still have the possibility of victory and continue to launch attacks. On the other hand, he gradually retreated the front line, and the Huns retreated to the hillside and could not see the real situation of the battlefield.
After hearing this, the veterans suddenly realized and praised him.
Pu Jia stood aside and heard Liang Xiao's entire plan, and felt a little more awe and a little more glad. Because of his weak strength, he had fought many frustrating battles, but this was the first time he saw someone deliberately showing weakness. It seemed that a retreat was inadvertent, but it contained extremely sinister intentions. If he was a Hun, he would not understand what was going on until he died.
Fortunately, Liang Xiao is friends, not enemies.
Liang Xiao finished the arrangement and stood up. Seeing Pu Jia’s expression was wrong, he asked with concern: “What’s wrong with the king?”
"Oh, nothing, nothing." Pu Jia came back and felt embarrassed.
Liang Xiao didn't care either, and called a few mercenary archers and gave some instructions.
Like the veterans, he asked the archers to reduce the frequency of shooting, causing false appearances of insufficient number and limited blocking strength, and at the same time strengthening the sniping of key targets to prevent the situation from getting out of control. For ordinary archers, this requirement is a bit high, but it is not difficult for these mercenary archers. Along the way, whenever they fought, they formed the first firepower suppression with Liang Xiao, using precise archery techniques to make up for the insufficient number and give the enemy major damage.
Eight crafty archers gathered together, and their power was no worse than fifty ordinary archers.
While Liang Xiao was deploying his tactics, Daduntu Dian was also asking about the situation of the battle. The defeated Hun soldiers were still in shock and unconsciously exaggerated the combat effectiveness of the Greek veterans and made them extremely powerful. The soldiers were too exaggerated, and although they were not very convinced. He saw the whole process with his own eyes that the Greek veterans were indeed not weak, but they were not as strong as this.
Although the defeated soldiers were removed, they replaced another group of people and decided to try again. If it still didn't work, he decided to give up. For him, he could pay a certain price to catch Liang Xiao, but if there was no hope at all, he would die in vain. Then there was no need.
Another round of battle began. Under the cover of archers, a hundred Huns rushed up the hillside with uneasy mood.
To their surprise, they did not suffer the violent attacks as they imagined. Although the Greek veterans were very tenacious, the front line still loosened under their attack and slowly moved backwards. The Huns were overjoyed, their morale was high, and they fought fiercely. Although the veterans were reluctant, in order to wipe out the Huns, they had to retreat in an orderly manner according to Liang Xiao's instructions. While deliberately making a nervous look and calling loudly.
The front line slowly moved, gradually moving out of the sight of the tune.
Seeing his subordinates gaining the upper hand, although he was so happy that he scratched his head, he became more and more convinced that the people just now were lying. Although he was obviously incompetent, he made the veterans look like gods of war. Originally, how could the old man with white hair have such strong combat power?
I heard the shouts of killing on the hillside, but my eyes could not see the real-time battle situation on the battlefield. Although the dial was jumping up and down, I kept sending people to see it. Unfortunately, even these people came to the hillside and were sniped by Liang Xiao and others as soon as they emerged, and they had no chance to report the battle situation to the dial. Even the Xiongnu archers responsible for cover stopped shooting, for fear of hurting their own people by chance.
This time, the two sides had been entangled for half an hour before the veterans "barely" repelled the Huns. Although the Huns were squeezed down, they suffered a lot of casualties, but their mental states were completely different. They excitedly told the Greek veterans that they looked scary and their actual physical strength was limited. They could not hold on for a long time, and many people were injured and could not fight again. If it weren't for the small number of people, they would be able to occupy the positions of the Greek veterans this time.
Although the tune was very happy, two hundred people were sent to attack again.
This time the battle became more intense. The two sides fought for half an hour. The Huns forced the Greek veterans back more than 30 steps. When they encountered a new slope, they were blocked. Seeing that the two sides were "stalemate", Liang Xiao and others rushed to "reinforcement". The Huns were not willing to be outdone, and they also urgently blew the trumpet, asking for more reinforcements.
Although the tune was very happy, two hundred people were sent out again.
The battle became more and more intense, and the front was moved backwards. More veterans were either "injured" or "exhausted" and withdrew from the front. The Huns became more excited and launched wave after wave of attacks, one after another, completely "occupied" the advantage.
Looking at the ignorant Huns, the Greek veterans who were forced to act with them were so angry that they smoked their nostrils, but they did not dare to disobey Liang Xiao's orders. They could only take a restrained rotation and rest, maintain their strength, and prepare for the final counterattack.
Although the Huns had the advantage, they were finally squeezed down the hillside because of insufficient numbers. They were very upset and asked for orders to attack again. They patted their chests and swore that as long as they arranged enough troops and launched another attack, they could win at one time and take down Liang Xiao.
After three attacks, the cumulative casualties had exceeded 300. Although the advantage became more and more obvious, although the injury and death still felt that the casualties were quite large. Just when he was hesitating, someone found that Liang Xiao and others were retreating into the mountains and there were signs of running away.
Although he heard this, he did not dare to hesitate anymore and immediately launched a new round of attacks. This time, he left 100 people to guard the war horses, and personally led more than 700 people to launch an attack, striving to determine the outcome in one battle and capture Liang Xiao.
Seeing that most of the Huns were pressing, Liang Xiao was overjoyed. After acting for so long, he finally lured the big fish into the bait. Next, it was time to show his true strength and fight back in full swing.
Liang Xiao called the generals for the last time and arranged counterattack tactics. The veterans were ready to go, without saying anything. The Greek teenagers were resting on the side, watching the seniors fighting bloody battles, they had already recovered their physical strength and prepared for the battle. Even the Puli people were full of energy and couldn't wait to show their skills.
"The most important thing is that those people under the hillside must be completely wiped out and cannot let them escape with their war horses, otherwise we would not have enough war horses to be available."
"Sir, don't worry." Xie Guanglong slapped his chest hard. "I promise that none of them can escape."
Liang Xiao turned to Pujia. "King, it's still the same rule. They attack hard, and you will pursue."
Pu Jia nodded with a smile, picked up his bow and shook it. "Don't worry, sir, you will never be cheaper."
"Okay, get ready for the fight." Liang Xiao stretched out his fist and touched everyone in front of him. "It will win."
"Must win"
