Chapter 626

Lie Jiaomi curled his lips and sent a guard camp to push the newly defeated Wusun soldiers to the front of the formation, beheading them all. The charge was very clear: he escaped at the last moment.

As soon as this order was issued, the two armies were shocked, and the Wusun people were stunned and their legs were trembling. Although Lie Jiaomi had killed the shepherd before, they did not expect Lie Jiaomi to deal with them like this. They could not accept it for the time being, but no one dared to object.

What was more surprised than the Wusun people were Liang Xiao and Ashana.

Liang Xiao frowned, and realized that he might have underestimated Lie Jiaomi. Lie Jiaomi was determined to break through the valley, and even killed his subordinates. In this way, the Wusun people would inevitably attack the stone formation. One person would be desperate, but ten people would be difficult to bear, and the casualties on their own side would inevitably increase sharply.

For the coalition forces composed of Dayuan and Yuezhi people, fighting with the wind is easy and fighting with the wind is difficult. Once the external pressure is too great, the suspicion between each other will be amplified. Whoever suffers a lot of casualties may become disagreements. Once a disagreement arises, it will not be far away to turn against each other.

But Lie Jiaomi would not be in such danger. His control over the Wusun people was much stronger.

Liang Xiao turned his head to look at Ashana, forced himself to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and smiled. "Da Lu, do we still have to stick to our bet?"

Seeing Lie Jiaomi's ruthlessness, Asha was upset and regretted the bet. Hearing Liang Xiao's words, he almost blurted out and had the opportunity to cancel the bet, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Liang Xiao's calmness infected him, and he seemed less nervous. More importantly, he realized that he had no way out. Cancel the bet reduce casualties?

Surrendering to Liejiaomi? This is obviously unlikely. Since it is impossible, showing weakness at this time will undoubtedly only make Liang Xiao look down on him. Even if he helps him overcome this difficulty, the trust between them will be greatly reduced.

Azhan quickly weighed the pros and cons, and asked quietly: "Is the general guilty?"

Liang Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "Da Lu must think clearly. Lie Jiaomi is ruthless. It may be difficult for the next two days. If you can't stand it, you will naturally have the chance to win. If you can't stand it, you may lose it in a mess."

Ashana smiled: "Does that general have the confidence to get through it?"

Liang Xiao snorted: "Da Lu may not know that the battle in Minyue is much more dangerous than this. Although the Minyue people are average in strength, their offensive and defensive abilities are still a little stronger than the Wusun people in terms of positional offensive and defensive abilities."

Ashana secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Liang Xiao had returned to Chang'an in the past few years and had not been idle. He had won several consecutive victories, and his fief increased to 10,000 households. He was not sure what the specific situation of the Battle of Min and Yue was, but Liang Xiao was promoted so quickly that he naturally achieved an unimaginable victory.

"Then let me see the general show his power with my own eyes."

"As you wish. However, I have to make arrangements first and stop hunting Jiaomi's thoughts."

"What thoughts?"

Liang didn't say anything, and asked someone to call Sebas and the shepherd leader who surrendered before, and told him what happened just now, and then said: "Lie Jiaomi wants to fill my formation with corpses, but I believe he will not use all the corpses of the Wusun people."

After hearing this, the shepherd leader immediately understood what Liang Xiao meant. Liejiaomi would probably recruit the shepherds around him and let them sacrifice. Liejiaomi had already done this once, and it was nothing strange to do it again the second time.

The shepherd leader fell to the ground. "General, save us."

"I can't save you, only you can save yourself." Liang Xiao said: "You have also seen how Liejiaomi treats you and gets in trouble. If you don't rise up and resist, you will sooner or later destroy your clan."

"What should we do?"

"Find a way out and inform your tribe to stay away from the battlefield."

The shepherd leader woke up from his dream and nodded repeatedly. Most of them were nearby herders and familiar with the terrain. It was difficult to find a path suitable for the army to walk. A few people and a dozen people climbed out, but it was not impossible. They secretly came out of the mountain and informed the clans to stay away from the disaster of extermination. Even if they suffered a little suffering, it would be worth it.

The shepherd leader went with great gratitude. Liang Xiao then re-arranged the formation. After obtaining Ashana's consent, he mixed the Dayuan people and Yuezhi people, took turns to defend the formation. He selected two hundred warriors and formed a suicide squad with Tu Niuer and other Han troops. Once the war was unfavorable, he sent people to fight to support the soldiers in the formation.

Liang Xiao had just finished adjusting, and Lie Jiaomi launched another attack. The same tactic was still the same. The shield protects the archers, the archers protect the infantry, and the infantry stepped forward to attack.

This time, Liang Xiao also learned his lesson. He asked the archers to remain calm, but arranged for the soldiers in the formation to seize the time, throw out the bodies of the Wusun people in the formation, and set up a corpse wall in front of the stone formation. He also ordered people to prepare some cloth strips, apply grease, and tie them to the arrow shaft for use.

Amid the sound of the horns, the Wusun people began to cover the shooting, and the dense rain of arrows covered the sky.

The people of Dayuan and Yuezhi held shields, hid from the rocks, and waited patiently.

The archers were also hidden in the stone formation, relying on the cover of the huge rocks to wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

When the Wusun infantry began to charge and the arrow formation extended backwards, the archers lit the cloth strips and shot out a batch of rockets. Their target was not the Wusun infantry who were charging, nor the Wusun archers, but the corpses of the Wusun soldiers scattered in front of the formation.

The corpse was ignited, flames rose, and the stinking smell of flesh filled the air, making people feel vomited and unable to breathe.

Seeing the body of his companion being burned, the Wusun people who were charging changed drastically. Some people continued to move forward, but more people chose to retreat temporarily and the team was divided into two parts.

Seizing the opportunity, Liang Xiao ordered the soldiers in the formation to take the initiative to attack. The people of Dayuan and Yuezhi roared out and rushed towards the Wusun people who rushed through the wall of corpses, slashing and killing. The people of Wusun were panicked and in chaos, with heavy casualties. Many people fell to the ground and became new corpses. Some were only injured and affected by the fire, and they were burned to scream and howl.

When the Wusun people heard this, they became even more panicked.

Liang Xiao immediately ordered the archers to shoot, pushing the Wusun people's panic towards **.

Under the attack of fire and arrows, the Wusun people were repelled again, leaving hundreds of corpses and retreating in panic.

Lie Jiaomi's face turned pale. Regardless of the pleading of the generals, he ordered the Qinwei camp to capture the retreating infantry, take them to the front of the formation, and behead them all.

Looking at the row of falling corpses and the heads that were everywhere, Liang Xiao smiled. "Da Lu, why don't we make another bet to see how many people Lie Jiaomi can kill?"

Azhan laughed. "General, I won't bet anymore. The more he kills, the better it will save us trouble."

"Hehe, one move, one loses again, and three out. If you cannot find an effective attack tactic, it is useless to hunt and kill many people. A group of sheep can defeat a group of wolves by just being cruel? Joke!"

Asha sighed faintly. "It seems that Lie Jiaomi is harder than us."

"Of course, in terms of infantry and offense, how could he be our opponent?" Liang Xiao sneered, with a look of disdain, but he felt a secretly relieved.

The Right Xianwang sat on the saddle, drinking sips after sip.

Several generals sat around, some were in a daze, some were chatting in a low voice, and some were looking at the scouts reporting the situation without saying a word.

The scout came from the mountain pass to the west. He discovered some situations and rushed to report to the Right King.

The Dayuan defenders at the mountain pass left the fortress and crossed the mountains on the south side. It seemed that they were rushing to the Yili River Valley of the Wusun people.

When he heard this news, not only did the Right Xian King's eyes lit up, but all the generals were moved.

They rushed to the Yili River Valley excitedly, not only to support Li Jiaomi and defeat Liang Xiao, the old enemy, but also to make a fortune in the Yili River Valley. They were beaten by Li Danghu in Daban City, which made them very depressed and even more disappointed. Now the opportunity has come. Whether it is following the people of Dayuan into the Yili River Valley, attacking the fortress at the mountain pass, or invading Dayuan, they can gain a lot and make up for the losses under Daban City.

After careful consideration, the Right Xian King decided to enter the Yili River Valley. Joining forces with Liejiaomi to defeat Liang Xiao to solve this confidant problem is more tempting than making a fortune in Dayuan. It would be even better if Liejiaomi could be killed and occupied the Yili River Valley.

The Right Xian King changed the direction of the march and ordered the entire army to travel starry night and rush to the Yili River Valley.

Liejiaomi was furious and pointed at the noses of several generals and cursed.

Today in front of the battle, when he was about to kill someone to establish his authority, these generals objected, which made him very angry.

"Do you think I don't know how to pity the soldiers and think I like to kill people?" Lie Jiaomi's face turned pale and his voice was stern. "If that's not the case, how can we break through Liang Xiao's position? Can we kill Liang Xiao without breaking through Liang Xiao's position? Should we just sit here and wait for him to starve to death?"

"Kunmo, that's not what we mean." A general stood up and begged. "It's not that the soldiers didn't work hard. It's because Liang Xiao was too cruel and actually burned the bodies of the soldiers who fell into battle with fire. The soldiers were panicked for a moment, and it was not that they were afraid to fight. If they were beheaded without distinguishing the reason, then wouldn't we die if we were defeated for a while?"

"That's right, no matter what the reason, as long as you lose, you must die. Only in this way can you sacrifice your life and move forward desperately." Lie Jiaomi said, "One person is hard to fight, ten people are hard to be. Liang Xiao is not strong enough to fight hard, and he is most afraid of fighting desperately. At this time of war, whoever is more cruel will be able to laugh to the end. A woman's kindness will only miss the big thing."

"Kunmo, this is the foundation of my Wusun. If the soldiers are so heartbroken, who is willing to go into battle?"

Lie Jiaomi narrowed his eyes and looked sharp. This general was his confidant and rarely contradicted him. Today he actually complained directly. Other emotions can be imagined. Could it be that the killing was too much and aroused public anger?

Lie Jiaomi felt a little uneasy, but he refused to give in. This was a great opportunity to kill Liang Xiao, and he must not give up.

"What better way do you do?" Lie Jiaomi sat down on the tiger's skin and said in a cold voice.

"Kunmo, it is really abominable that the people of Sai are attached to Liang Xiao, especially those dog slaves who surrendered in the face of the battle. It would be better to capture all their tribesmen, regardless of age, and force them to fight, which not only punishes the traitors but also consumes Liang Xiao's troops?"

Liejiaomi blinked and felt it was reasonable. In addition to these two benefits, there is another added benefit: since their tribe has been destroyed, there is no need to leave any food. All property can be collected as existing, as supplies, or as future rewards.

"Okay, then take a two-day break. Who would like to catch someone?"

"Me!" Almost at the same time, several generals stood up and bravely carried out this task.

Liejiaomi glanced around and finally looked on the face of the general in front of him. Those who have made meritorious naturally need to reward him. Such fatness is a reward. "You can do the suggestions you make."

"Thank you Kunmo." The general was overjoyed and bowed to accept the order.

"Swoosh!" An iron crossbow arrow broke through the air, carrying a long rope, flew over thirty steps to the canyon, accurately hitting a big tree on the opposite cliff. The crossbow arrow shot through the trunk and firmly held it.

Pang Shuo tightened the rope and wrapped the rope head around a huge rock.

Liang Xiao personally hung the iron hook of the lifesaving rope on the iron ring. "Sebas, don't be afraid. With this iron ring, even if you fail, it will not fall. We will pull you back. Did you hear it?"

Sebas said with a smile: "General, I understand. This is not the first time I have climbed, so there will be no trouble."

Liang Xiao nodded, feeling a little embarrassed. He also knew that the safety measures were actually very safe, and Sebas would not have any problems, but he just wanted to take care of him. Seeing this familiar scene, he thought of the expedition driver and Shigma.

Sebas skillfully hung upside down on the rope, like a little monkey, using his hands and feet together, crawling towards the opposite side.

The wind became strong, the rope shaking, and Liang Xiao's heart also picked up, and he couldn't help but hold his fists.

Sebas was not nervous, so he rested for a while and continued to climb forward. After a while, he climbed to the opposite side. He untied the safety rope around his waist and fixed the rope head, and then sent a signal.

A scattered man stepped forward and quickly pulled the safety rope back, tied it around his waist, used his hands and feet in the same way as Sebas, hanging it upside down on the rope, and crawling to the opposite side. With the safety rope protection, Sebas pulled it hard there. Although he was not as flexible as Sebas, he also easily reached the opposite side.

Soon, more than fifty Cypriots all passed the canyon safely. The Cypriots leader said gratefully: "General, I'm leaving, you can keep it."

"Be careful on the road, don't play hard with the Wusun people. They are already crazy. As far as they can be, they can be as far away from them."

The leader of the scattered man gritted his teeth. "Don't worry, General, I know what to do. I will never let these beasts go."

Liang Xiao patted his shoulder and watched him cross the canyon. The people waved their hands across the opposite side, saying goodbye.
