Dongfang Shuo returned to the stone chamber and stopped.

Liang Ming immediately guarded the gate, and the Wusun guards were not surprised. They stopped outside the gate with cognitive abilities. As long as Dongfang Shuo did not escape, they would never take the initiative to find trouble, so as not to cause trouble.

Dongfang Shuo paced back and forth in the room for two steps, forcing himself to sit down, adjust his breathing, and be as calm as usual. After a while, his breathing slowly stabilized, and the muscles on his face gradually relaxed, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping, like an old monk entering into meditation.

The Wusun people do not believe in Buddhism, but Master Che has many Buddhist temples. Dongfang Shuo dabbled in Buddhist scriptures and learned some methods of meditation, but he has never done it seriously, and he did not expect to use it now.

In the distance, a maid hid in the corner of the wall and looked at Dongfang Shuo from afar. Seeing that Dongfang Shuo entered the house and never came out again. Although Liang Ming was guarding the door, there was no movement. Everything was normal. Then he quietly pulled away and returned to Aruikan.

After listening to the maid's report, Aruikan thought for a long time and sent someone to invite Dongfang Shuo. It didn't take long, and the people who went there returned, Mr. Dongfang Shuo said that as long as the cold-proof leather mattress, he would not want anything else.

Aruikan's mouth was slightly raised, and there was a little more spring in her eyes. She asked someone to bring wine and meat and rushed to Dongfang Shuo's stone chamber in person. Liang Ming stood at the door with his arms in his arms. Seeing Aruikan coming in person, he quietly retreated aside.

Arrikan entered the house, asked someone to put down the table, put down the wine and meat, and waved his hand to let the follower go back.

Dongfang Shuo remained motionless and had no expression on his face.

"Why, are you angry with me?" Arikan poured a glass of wine, leaned against the desk, supported the edge of the desk with one hand, and held the wine glass with the other, slowly shaking. The blood-like wine rippled with a strange light in the luminous cup, emitting a faint fragrance of wine.

"Why are you doing?" Dongfang Shuo opened his eyes and glanced at Aruikan. "I am a prisoner now and I can't drink any fine wine."

"Is that so? Then I have to drink it myself." Arikan said, taking a sip with a smile.

"If you drink more, it's really hard to say if you have a chance to drink in the future."

"If I go to Chang'an, will you come to see me?"

"Won't."

Dongfang Shuo answered too quickly, and he was completely unthinking. After hearing this, Aruikan's face changed and he said with hatred: "It turns out that he is a loveless man."

"It's not that I'm indifferent, it's that I don't have time." Dongfang Shuo sighed. "There are so many things in the Western Regions, how can I do without me? Liang Xiao is okay in the war, but the rest can only be handed over to me. In such a big place, it will take a lot of time to go to Chang'an to see you."

Aruikan's face cleared a little, he played with the wine glass, and said casually: "Are you so confident in Liang Xiao?"

Dongfang Shuo thought for a while and asked back: "I'll ask you a question: Is Dayuan horse fast or Wusun horse fast?"

Aruikan's face changed slightly, and his hand holding the wine glass shook.

"Do you still remember what Liang Xiao rushed to Hexi back then?" Dongfang Shuo continued: "Liang Xiao is good at fighting, but he never acts recklessly. If he is not sure, he will choose to avoid the real and attack the virtual. At that time, the Right Xian King had an army of 100,000, and he was not an opponent, so he could only avoid the battle, so he was able to attack thousands of miles away. Now there is only 40,000 troops in the Wei Jiaomi. Even if Liang Xiao is defeated, it is always okay to withdraw? Will he be blocked in the canyon by Wei Jiaomi?"

Aruikan's face looked even more ugly. "Maybe... it was Liejiaomi who set up a trap and lured him into a trap."

"Haojiaomi lured Liang Xiao into a trap? Haha! Haha! Haha!" Dongfang Shuo laughed exaggeratedly, turned his head, looking like he was too lazy to tell you.

Aruikan felt even more unsure. She didn't believe that Liejiaomi could use tricks to trap Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao has always been the kind of cunning opponent who is unpredictable. When he came suddenly and went even more suddenly, no one could figure out what he was thinking.

His appearance in the Yili River Valley was a big surprise.

Will such a person be trapped by Hunjiaomi?

The more Arikan thought about it, the more uneasy he became, his face changed constantly, and he could no longer remain calm. She looked at Dongfang Shuo, with a serious lack of confidence. "According to what you say, no one can defeat him?"

"That won't be." Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "If there is more than ten times the force, there is still a chance. The Youxian King could force him not to fight head-on, but wasn't it just a military advantage? If the Youxian King could also arrive in time this time, no matter how good Liang Xiao was in battle, he would have to retreat."

"Liejiaomi contacted the Right Xianwang."

"But the Youxian King was unable to reach the battlefield. In my opinion, either the Youxian King had no intention of really supporting Lie Jiaomi at all, or he was blocked by Li Danghu. The fastest path to enter the river valley from the grassland is to go to Daban. Lie Jiaomi could think of this, but Liang Xiao could not have imagined that he would arrange for Li Danghu to guard Daban and prevent Youxian King from entering the river valley."

Dongfang Shuo smiled. "Liang Xiao dared to stay in the river valley and not leave because he knew that Liejiaomi had no more reinforcements, otherwise he would have run away long ago. As for retreating into the canyon, he just used the terrain to add more damage to Hu Jiaomi's morale first. When Liejiaomi failed to defeat the tough situation and had to retreat, he would show his true strength. Haha, I guess he was waiting for snow. When it snowed, it would be difficult for Liejiaomi to return to Chigu City."

With a "bang", the cup in Aruikan's hand fell to the ground, and the wine sprinkled everywhere. She covered her undulating chest, her chest was pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at her, shook his head, and sighed.

The morning sun rose eastward, and the horn sounded, and the Wusun people approached the mouth of the gorge again.

After a fierce battle, the herdsmen who had just been recruited had consumed all of them. Except for the first thousand people who surrendered to Liang Xiao, the others either died in the stone formation or were cut off by Lie Jiaomi.

Now it's the Wusun people who go to battle themselves.

Lie Jiaomi narrowed his eyes and glanced at the stone formation in the distance. Judging from the battle flag, the defenders in the stone formation were not Han troops and Dayuan people, but Yuezhi people.

Lie Jiaomi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and issued an order to attack.

The one thousand shields came forward first. What they held was not the small round shield used by the cavalry, but the large shield used by the infantry. They were very simple, and some of them were not even stripped of bark, but they were tied together with a few logs, but because they were large in area and placed on the ground, they were about the same height as the Wusun soldiers.

The shield hands stood in two rows and moved forward carefully.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, and eighty steps, the Wusun people still had no intention of stopping, and continued to approach, but just walked slower.

Asana stood on the shooting platform, his face changed drastically. Yesterday, the Wusun people attacked for a day and did not send so many shield players. Why did they suddenly change the formation today?

"General, what does this mean?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "What's so strange about this? Isn't it a normal tactic to use a shield to cover archers and use an arrow to cover infantry attacks?"

Ah She slapped her head and woke up from a dream. This principle is not complicated. When Wusun attacked Suye City before, he had seen such tactics, but he was not impressed. When he saw it again, he realized that he was not prepared for this at all.

After all, the Yuezhi people were not familiar with this fighting method, so their learning speed was obviously not as good as that of Lie Jiaomi. Lie Jiaomi had mastered it, and he was still kept in the dark.

"What should I do?"

"Water comes and soil is covered, and arrows come and block it." Liang Xiao raised his eyes and continued to observe the distance of Hu Jiaomi. It was too far away that he could only see the figure of Hu Jiaomi, but he could not see the expression of Hu Jiaomi. However, he estimated that Hu Jiaomi should be smiling at this moment.

Isn’t it just that I suddenly changed the formation and wanted to catch me off guard? Such tactics have no effect on the Han army and have a certain effect on the psychological blow of the Yuezhi people. Ah She is a little panicked now.

Asha didn't dare to neglect. While reminding the soldiers in the formation to be careful of the Wusun people's bows and arrows, he ordered the archers to come forward to cover them, and then asked Liang Xiao, hoping that he could provide support to the arrow formation.

"Don't worry, if you don't say it, I will do this too." Liang Xiao agreed.

Ashana breathed a sigh of relief.

Amid the sound of the horn, Wusun shield hand set up a shield formation. The archers then stepped forward, arranged the array behind the large shield, and then began to shoot. Two thousand archers pulled their bows, shooting to cover the sky and the sun, and the arrows were like locusts, making the Yuezhi people in the stone formation unable to raise their heads.

The terrain in the formation was narrow and there was not enough space to accommodate archers. The Yuezhi people could only lie behind the huge rock and wait patiently for the start of the battle. The faster the Wusun people shot, the denser the arrows, and the arrows shot on the huge rock, causing crisp sounds, tossing the Yuezhi people's eardrums and torture the Yuezhi people's heart.

From time to time, Yuezhi people were caught in arrows and made muffled groans or screams.

Although the Yuezhi archers stepped forward to fight back, they did not have a large shield to cover them and the number was insufficient. They were completely suppressed by the Wusun people and complained endlessly.

Only the Han crossbowmen on the shooting platform were not greatly affected and still chose targets in an orderly manner to snipe. Although the Wusun people had large shields to cover, those large shields were too simple to cover them. The crossbowmen could almost achieve the expected results for the first time shooting.

But the number of crossbowmen was too small. Faced with the absolute advantage of the Wusun people, their voices were drowned and almost no one noticed them.

Seeing that the arrow formation had gained an overwhelming advantage, Lie Jiaomi breathed a sigh of relief and sent infantrymen to attack.

Asha was anxious and wanted to slap himself twice. When he saw the Han army fighting against the Dayuan people, he felt very relaxed. Now it was his turn and found that the situation was very serious.

In addition to regret, he had some luck. If he hadn't taken the battle personally, how could he know where the gap was? Now even the people of Dayuan have learned to attack and defensively in position. If the people of Yuezhi do not catch up, even the people of Dayuan will not be able to deal with them in the future.

"Da Lu, don't be nervous, keep calm." Liang Xiao patted Ashana's shoulder and comforted him.

Ashana held her breath and nodded calmly.

The Wusun people rushed to the stone formation, and the archers extended to shoot. The infantry shouted angrily and rushed into the formation.

Although Ashana was nervous, she still ordered a counterattack. The Yuezhi people in the stone formation mustered up their courage and fought back, killing them with the Wusun people. The Wusun people have many powers and are covered by arrow formations, which gained the upper hand in momentum. They killed the Yuezhi people step by step, and in a short time they entered the rocks for more than half a dozen steps.

Ashana was frightened and Liang Xiao was also a little nervous, but he comforted Ashana and said, "Dalu, don't worry, the Wusun people are seeking death."

"Is that true?" Ahsha's sweat wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Look, can they still stand firm after entering the formation?" Liang Xiao pointed to the Wusun people in the stone formation. "Although they are large in number, they are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered. As long as you keep your breath, you will definitely defeat them. They will not be so excited if they are blocked from the first impact."

Ashan nodded repeatedly, regardless of danger, poked his body out of the shooting platform, and made a loud order to encourage the soldiers in the formation. When the Wusun people saw him, they raised their bows and shot, but they were too far away. Even if they barely shot, the arrows had no strength and could not penetrate the shield in Ashan's hand.

With Ashana's personal encouragement, the Yuezhi people stabilized their positions and fought back with all their might, chopping down the Wusun people into the formation, and gradually regained the position.

Although there were many people in Wusun, they were blocked by rocks and could not enter. They squeezed in front of the formation and became living targets, and were shot in a mess by the Yuezhi people. Although the Wusun archers were covered by large shields, they were blocked by infantrymen and could not move forward. They could only attack from a distance, with limited functions.

Seeing this scene, Ahshana breathed a sigh of relief.

For half an hour, the Wusun people broke through the formation and had no way to throw down thousands of corpses and retreated.

Liejiaomi did not give Asha a chance to breathe, and immediately launched a second wave of attacks.

Asha was so distressed that he could not imagine, so he had to bite the bullet and fight.

The battle became more intense. The corpses in the stone formation were too late to clean. Not only did the Wusun people have no place to settle down, but even the Yuezhi people felt it was difficult to walk. I don’t know which side climbed the huge rock first, but someone soon followed suit, and the soldiers on both sides fought on the huge rock.

Although a large number of Wusun people were killed, the casualties of Yuezhi people were also increasing rapidly.

Seeing one subordinate after another falling, Ashan rubbed his hands in a hurry.

"Da Lu, do you want me to help?"

"General, you can take action quickly."

"Actually, I think this is a good opportunity to be tempered. If you can even withstand such a battle, you will not be timid no matter what enemies you encounter in the future. Although it sounds a bit cruel, the real warrior can only be tempered on the battlefield. If you have not experienced the test of life and death, even if your martial arts are good, you will still lack some psychological condition."

Ashana no longer cared about so much and begged repeatedly. Liang Xiao did not insist and ordered an attack.

As the sound of war drums rang out, Tu Niuer rushed out with the Liang family. They jumped directly onto the huge rock, walked as fast as flying, and walked onto the contact point between the two sides.

"Get out of the way!" Tu Niuer shouted softly, swung his shield, and held a Wusun man's sword. The sword light flashed, wiping off his neck and saving the soldiers of the Yue family. Before the Yue family could breathe a sigh of relief, he thanked him again, rushed to another Wusun man, raised his sword and cut the Wusun man to the ground.

As soon as they joined the battle, the originally stalemate situation immediately changed. The Yuezhi people received strong support and their morale was greatly boosted. However, the Wusun people were killed by this group of new forces and their morale was greatly reduced. They failed to support for a long time.

The Yuezhi people were very excited and raised their swords and shouted wildly.
