Chapter 642 First Battle

Under the recommendation and demonstration of Tuxise, Liang Xiao spent two days visiting several of the strongest tribal leaders. After Liang Xiao's patient explanation, these leaders half-supported Liang Xiao's request and sent troops to assist Liang Xiao in dealing with the Right Xianwang and Lie Jiaomi.

They were willing to do this, on the one hand, Liang Xiao drew a big pie for them, promising that in the future, a large number of merchants would bring them more good things through this place, and their fur could be sold at a higher price. On the other hand, it was also because Liejiaomi was afraid of them. Although most tribes did not know the specific situation, Liejiaomi's practice of treating the people as cannon fodder successfully aroused the people's hatred and enemy.

In two days, Liang Xiao collected three thousand cavalrymen. Originally, he could have more people, but Liang Xiao refused. He just asked these tribes to retreat east as much as possible and retreat to a safe area on the hillside. As for these three thousand cavalrymen, Liang Xiao asked them to prepare armor and weapons as much as possible, and prepare for battle.

Of course, once defeated, they will also be eligible to participate in the distribution of loot, regardless of whether they participated in the battle or not.

Seeing Liang Xiao possessed three thousand cavalrymen, Asha was envious. He originally had five thousand cavalry, but after several major wars, his losses reached nearly 40%. Now there are more than three thousand cavalrymen who can still go to battle normally. He also wanted to recruit soldiers like Liang Xiao, but he did not have the appeal of Liang Xiao, nor did he have a large number of Han merchants as support to tempt the soldiers. He could only watch these newly joined forces drool.

When the three thousand cavalry gathered in place, the Right King also arrived.

Because he had to wait for the baggage camp, the Right Xianwang did not walk very quickly. He also knew that Liang Xiao had no way to go, so he was not in a hurry. He walked and cleaned up the battlefield. Not only did he take over the Wusun defeated soldiers, but he also plundered the horses, weapons, armor and even the property on the corpses he saw along the way. The most popular ones here were the equipment of the Great Xia Armored Cavalry and the Han Army Knights, but the number was relatively small, and the total number was only more than 30 pieces, which were all divided by middle and senior generals. The next one was the equipment of the Yuezhi people, with about five or six hundred.

Standing on the slope and seeing the armor on the Huns, Asha felt very uncomfortable. Doros was also very uncomfortable and cursed and kept making a furious, wanting to go out to fight in person, kill the Huns who insulted the body of the Great Xiajia Cavalry, and avenge the knights who died in battle.

Liang Xiao held Doros. There is no immortality in war, because a few armors are messy and not the general's style. The best way to take revenge is to defeat them, rather than be petty about someone's life and death.

"Don't be so nervous. Armored cavalry must form a scale to be able to fight. One or two people are useless."

"I know, I just feel uncomfortable."

"If you feel uncomfortable, train well and try to reduce casualties."

Doros nodded, his eyes were still hot. Liang Xiao said again, "Relax, wait for the battle to go on stage, it's not too late for you to be cruel. The people are here to watch the formation. The real defeat of the enemy depends on your and Dalu's methods."

Doros was stunned for a moment. "Watch the formation, what formation?"

"Look at how you are shaking your might." Liang Xiao smiled and said, "I borrowed your tiger skin and pulled my banner. Don't let me down, let me be embarrassed."

Doros' eyes rolled, and he understood, and couldn't help laughing loudly. "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. Speaking of which, it's really thanks to you that the Armored Cavalry can have today's strength. If you hadn't helped me change the war horse, equipped with iron armor and spear, and trained for so long, how could the Armored Cavalry be so powerful."

Liang Xiao smiled. Just know, cooperate with me well, we will still be good friends. If you throw your horse and armor, then I will cut off the source of your war horse and armor to see how many days you can jump around. It is not easy to control Asha, and controlling you is not a matter of one word. If nothing else, without Dayuan horse as a mount, the power of the armor will be reduced by at least 30%.

Although Doros was rude, he still had combat experience and knew the importance of it.

"What's the point of you suddenly being so polite?"

Doros smiled embarrassedly. "No, no, don't worry, I will definitely obey your orders. Otherwise, my sister wouldn't let me go."

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and Doros pulled Mosuyeye as a cover-up. He would not have any other intentions, but he would definitely do good. However, he did not expose Doros's little thoughts and did not hold Doros firmly in his hands, how could he make Azhanna obey orders?

"Do you want to add some armored horses?"

Doros was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly. "I know it's a bit too much, but there's nothing I can do about it. You know, the Parthians are restless now, and we will start a war with them sooner or later. The Daxia has limited troops and can only take the elite route. If we can have more than 500 cavalry, we will have a much greater chance of winning. At that time, not only will we block Parthian's invasion, but the war against Tianzhu will be much smoother."

"You are still going south to India?"

"There is no way. The Yuezhi people are too strong. Even if they become allies, we must open up the battlefield in India, otherwise we will not be able to survive."

Liang Xiao didn't say anything, just nodded. Everyone should strive for a better chance to live. No one talks about humanitarianism, pacifism, the strong prey on the weak, the truth is the big one. The people of Daxia could not beat Yuezhi, so they had to go to Tianzhu.

Having said that, the ancient civilization of Tianzhu seems to have been constantly being messed up in history. Why don’t I go and mess up with him? After occupying that subcontinent, it is quite convenient for ships to come and go, and you can go all the way south, occupying all that place so as not to give birth to some monkeys to mess up.

At this moment, the trumpet sounded in front of him, and Ashana warned that the Huns were ready to attack. Doros bowed to Liang Xiao and rushed away with a few personal guards to prepare for battle.

Liang Xiao quickly raised his eyes and looked at the battlefield under the hillside. He only glanced at it and then smiled. His smile disappeared as soon as he opened his eyes. He sighed: "When Lie Jiaomi drove away the people in battle, he would definitely not have expected this day."

Tuxise was curious and quickly leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Xiao said nothing, but just handed Qianliyan to Tuxise. Tuxise had heard of a magical weapon like Qianliyan, and was lucky enough to touch it with his own hands, and it was immediately radiant. He put Qianliyan in front of him and exaggeratedly exaggeratedly, which made the other Sai leader itchy, and he wanted to snatch it over and take a look, but he was embarrassed to act too naive and be laughed at.

"Wusun people?" Tuxise raised his eyebrows slightly, then slapped his thighs. "It's really retribution, retribution!"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" The leader of the Screws couldn't help but curiosity and surrounded him.

"The Huns regarded the Wusun people as cannons..." Tuxisai thought for a while, and finally remembered the word Liang Xiao said. "Cannon fodder, yes, cannon fodder. The people who are preparing to attack are now."

"Is that? I deserve it!"

"The heaven has eyes, retribution, retribution."

The scattered people patted their foreheads and expressed their gratitude to the heavens. The Wusun people who killed thousands of swords finally received retribution and were regarded as cannon fodder by the Huns. It is worth it. From this, it can be seen that it is more reliable to follow Liang Xiao. Although Liang Xiao collected three thousand scattered people as soldiers, he did not let the scattered people be cannon fodder. He left them at the end and waited until the pursuit, 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 who were reluctant to see this scene were much more relaxed, and they became more proud of themselves out of thin air, and their repulsion towards Liang Xiao was also slightly weakened.

Liang Xiao saw it and was secretly happy in his heart. He shook his head. "My ancestors of Han people have a saying, "If you don't teach me, you're called killing. These Wusun people just lost the battle and are not sure, so how can you go into battle immediately? The Right Xian King is too inhumane to do this."

"Yes, it's inhumane."

"Ah, the Wusun people have committed their own sins and are now suffering retribution. The general should not pity them."

"Yes, yes, generals and Wusun people are all unconscient wolf cubs. We give them so many people, cows, sheep, and wealth every year. He is really damn, he is still treating us like this."

Liang Xiao nodded. "The Wusun people do suffer their own actions and die as their own. I hope they can attract lessons in the future and not be so cruel anymore. The soldiers who died in battle to protect their homes are dead as their own. It is a big deal to force people to fight."

"The general is right." The people of the Sai nodded and agreed.

When Liang Xiao was calmly instilling the ideas in the Sacrific people, the battle had already begun under the hillside, and five hundred Wusun people walked onto the battlefield under the urging of the horn. They rushed towards Ashana's position and began shooting more than a hundred steps away.

Asana was the commander-in-chief of the battlefield for the first time, facing the enemy head-on. Based on the characteristics of the terrain, he set up a terrain of a double arrow formation, allowing a thousand knights to dismount and hold the bow, and line up on the hillsides on both sides of the river valley, with a passage of about twenty steps in the middle. One thousand knights lined up a hundred steps behind the arrow formation, and two hundred people were a column, divided into five columns from left to right, ready to jump out at any time.

The remaining more than a thousand cavalry were led by Ashana as a mobile force, and they supplemented archers or went down the mountain to attack the enemy according to actual conditions.

The Yuezhi people who were defending were condescending and could speed up by the hillside and take a hundred steps away from the arrow formation. The Wusun people who were attacking were against the trend, and whether they were charging on horseback or charging on foot, they were in a very uncomfortable state. In the end, they chose infantry battles. Although they were not good at infantry battles, in terms of this terrain, cavalry battles were even more unfavorable to them. Without speed, the horses could not exert their due combat power, which only increased casualties.

The Wusun people held their shields and approached about a hundred steps, and were blocked by the Yuezhi people's arrow formation. With the help of the slope, the Yuezhi people could easily shoot arrows on the Wusun people's heads. The Wusun people pulled their bows, but they still could not shoot at the Yuezhi people. Occasionally, those who shot lost their strength and had no lethality. In order to be able to truly engage in the battle, they had to brave the Yuezhi people's arrow formation.

From the very beginning, the Wusun people fell into a very unfavorable situation.

The Right Xianwang stood on the hillside, raised his hand, blocked the dazzling sunlight, and focused on watching the battlefield situation. As soon as he got here and saw the terrain, he knew that this was a difficult positional battle. So even though he knew that this would make the Wusun people resist, he still sent these newly surrendered Wusun people to fight and try Liang Xiao's deployment first.

Now it seems that it is right to arrange the Wusun people to fight, otherwise the Huns will be killed or killed.

The Youxian King frowned. After enduring for a long time, he couldn't help it and sighed in a long sigh.

Although the war had just begun, he felt hopeless to win. It seemed that he was chasing Liang Xiao here, but it was not an exaggeration to say that Liang Xiao wanted to lead him here to fight. This terrain is too suitable for defense, and it was simply prepared for Liang Xiao, who is good at defense. For him, this was a very unfavorable terrain. Not only could the Huns not be able to exert their strength in riding and shooting, but they could not even exert their military strength.

The Right Xian King gave up watching the battle. The situation on the battlefield was clear at a glance. It was impossible for these five hundred Wusun people to break through Ashana's position. It would be a matter of time before they were defeated. The only difference was how many people could come back. He looked at the farther hillside, where Liang Xiao's battle flag stood.

Liang Xiao was not alone. There were dense sheepskin battle flags behind him, which were the cavalry that was fleeing.

Liang Xiao and the Sairen joined forces, and his strength became stronger. When he thought of this, the Right Xian King couldn't help but sigh again. He had a feeling that this expedition might have to stop here, and it would be extremely difficult to take a step forward.

Of course, it's not bad to do this. It occupies most of the Yili River Valley. As long as he can solve the baggage problem, he can spend it with Liang Xiao. Winter is approaching, and the best ranches are under his control. Liang Xiao's ranches are limited. If he wants to survive, he can only slaughter a large number of cattle and sheep that are stuffed to survive by eating meat.

Will the scavenger agree? This is probably a problem.

While planning, the Right Xian King cursed Hun Jiaomi secretly. If it weren't for the forced thrust people into battle and die, how could the thrust people easily rely on Liang Xiao? If there was no thrust people, how could Liang Xiao dare to give up the position at the Gorge and walk here in a hurry.

In the complaints of the Right Xian King, five hundred Wusun people failed to attack for a long time. They threw down more than one hundred corpses and slowly retreated, preparing to give up the attack.

But they miscalculated. They planned to give up the attack, but Ashana did not intend to let them go. With a command, two hundred knights rode out and rushed past the two arrow formations. With the help of the slope, the war horses quickly accelerated, and when they captured the Wusun people, there was a rumbling sound of hooves.

There was almost no suspense. With one charge, the Yuezhi people beheaded more than a hundred. They did not chase far away. After crossing the Wusun people, they rushed to the hillside on both sides. Taking advantage of the slope to slow down, they turned around on the hillside and charged again.

The Wusun people were scattered, with more than half of the casualties. Countless people were lying on the hillside and moaning, while the rest were trembling with fear and expressionless.

The Right Xian King sighed again and sent cavalry to support him. Seeing the Hun cavalry coming out, the Yuezhi people did not love the battle and quickly retreated to the slope.

The Huns rushed to the bottom of the slope, but did not dare to attack. They had to take back the remaining Wusun soldiers and returned in a bad mood.

The Yuezhi people were filled with joy, and the horns were whistling. The knights raised their weapons in their hands and cheered loudly. The archers raised their bows and sang the strings to celebrate. Ashana was also very happy and immediately ordered people to pick up arrows and bring back two knight wounded men who fell because of their horse's lapse. The two knights returned to the formation, which attracted bursts of laughter. They also felt bored and hid aside with embarrassment.

Liang Xiao smiled and said, "You can rest assured now, right?"

Tuxise and others nodded repeatedly. "The Lord Arrow God is right, and the Huns are nothing to be scary."

"This is over? Oh, I haven't enjoyed it yet."

"Yes, the Wusun people died too few, so they should be killed in front of the formation."

"Yes, the Yuezhi people just can't do it. If we were the ones who were in the battle, none of these Wusun people would escape."

Liang Xiao smiled without saying a word—
