Chapter 629 Trap
"It's been pushed out and chopped!" Doros was furious and roared.
Several guards came up and pushed the knights who violated the order to the ground, but did not drag them down. They looked hesitant, as if they were waiting for something.
Liang Xiao said nothing, and looked at Doros quietly, with a smile on his lips that was unexplained. Doroqi felt even more embarrassed, so he pushed away his guard, pulled out his battle knife, pointed at a cavalry and shouted: "Do you understand my order?"
A cavalry lowered his head. "I understand."
"Have you heard the order to retreat?"
"I heard it."
"Would you kill the orders on the battlefield?"
The Arc Cavalry hesitated for a while and stuttered, "It's time to kill!"
"Okay! You still have some ambition. Don't worry, I will take care of your family." After Doros said, he raised his hand and cut off the head of the Armored Cavalry with one knife.
Everyone was shocked and their faces changed drastically.
Doros shook his face and cut off more than a dozen heads in one breath. These were warriors who had followed him for many years, with outstanding military achievements and the oldest qualifications. Now he died under Doros' sword because he could not strictly follow the orders during training. Not only was the armored cavalry shocked, Doros himself was heartbroken. But he also knew that if he didn't use ruthless means, it would be useless for no matter how long he practiced, and he would always have the last breath.
If kindness does not control the army, he will only be ruthless when necessary.
Doros ordered people to pick more than a dozen heads on the spear, patrol for a while, and then ordered another drill.
The people are still those people, and the formation is still the same, but this time there is a little more murderous aura. More than a dozen bloody heads are in front of them, and no one dares not take it seriously anymore. They control the war horses, move forward silently, trot, charge, turn, retreat, and be uniform.
Doros breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Liang Xiao. "How?"
"If it can be like this every time, it's barely possible." Liang Xiao nodded. "Snap the time to practice again, and engrave these lessons in their hearts and let them obey their orders."
"Okay!" Doros grinned, looking a little reluctant.
Liang Xiao got on the horse, took two steps, tied the reins again, and turned to look at Doros. "Have you heard of the principle of wooden barrels?"
Doros shook his head blankly.
"How much water can a barrel hold does not depend on the longest board, but on the shortest board."
Doros blinked. Liang Xiao smiled and kicked the mount lightly. He rushed away surrounded by Tu Niuer and others. Doros thought for a moment, clenched his fists hard, gritted his teeth, and turned to look at the knight who was running in the valley. When the guards saw his face, they felt a chill on their backs.
They had a premonition that Doros was interested in killing, and someone would die because of disobeying orders.
Liang Xiao went down the slope and walked north not far, then the Yuezhi people chased after him and stopped Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao was a little strange, but he was not nervous. He made an appointment with Ashana that if an emergency occurs, he would directly notify him with the sound of a horn instead of sending someone.
Send someone to explain the problem is not serious.
However, after listening to the Yuezhi people's explanation, Liang Xiao felt that the problem was very serious. He immediately turned his horse's head and rushed back to the entrance of the gorge. As soon as he arrived at the stone formation, he jumped off his mount, ran to the shooting platform, took out his cliff eyes, and checked the position outside the gorge.
The outside of the gorge was empty and there was no one to see. The Wusun people left.
Ashana rushed up and smiled bitterly, "General, isn't it a bit weird?"
Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he slowly let it go. "It's indeed a bit strange. Where did Lie Jiaomi go? Did he really leave, or would he lure us out?"
Ashana shook her head with a wry smile. "I can't guess it." After a moment, she said again: "Everything is possible."
Liang Xiao thought about it and asked a dozen smart and capable scattered people to ask them to go out of the gorge to find out the situation. After hearing this, the scattered people took off their armor, put on the clothes of herders, left the gorge, and disappeared into the vast grassland.
Liang Xiao also left the stone formation, but he did not walk far away. He wandered around the place where Liejiaomi was camping for a long time. He carefully checked the traces left by the Wusun people's camping and speculated on the deployment of Liejiaomi's camping.
"Mr. Jun, what are you looking at?" Alexander came over.
Liang Xiao glanced at him and pointed to the former site of the camp in front of him. "Can you see the arrangements when Liejiaomi set up camp, and can you see where the central army tent of Liejiaomi was?"
Alexander was silent for a moment, recalled the place he had just walked, and finally took his eyes back. "This place should be the tent of the Central Army. The grass nearby was trampled, and it should be the place where people walked the most. Judging from the entire camp, this place is also the central point. No matter which direction it attacks, it is difficult to directly attack this camp."
Liang Xiao nodded in appreciation. After several years of battle, Alexander's progress was the most obvious. He was not only the absolute main force every time he charged, but also was willing to use his brain and was good at thinking. In contrast, Paris was not so hardworking and focused more on hunting for beauty. Even his favorite archery was not outstanding.
"Why do you think the Wusun people leave?"
Alexander was a little nervous. He rubbed his hands and thought for a while. "I think he saw that our position was strong and he could not break, so he simply evacuated. If we went out of the gorge to fight, it would be equivalent to actively giving up the favorable terrain of the gorge. If we didn't go out of the gorge, he could attack the people and plunder cattle and sheep in preparation for winter."
Liang Xiao felt aroused, thinking that Alexander was right. Liejiaomi left here, perhaps because the scattered people were making a fierce move, so he led the main force to suppress it. This shows that the decision to arrange the scattered people to go out of the gorge worked, but the scattered people were a mess, so he was probably not the opponent of Liejiaomi. After Liejiaomi suppressed the scattered people, he not only received supplies, but also caught cannon fodder. What should I do if I came to attack the formation at that time?
There are still hundreds of jammed people in the valley. These jammed people have now integrated into the team, shepherding sheep, cutting trees, building weapons, doing everything, and only picking up weapons to fight together. If Lie Jiaomi bets thousands of cannon fodders, they may have changed again.
You can't sit idly by. No matter whether you can save the Seit people or not, you must at least take a rescue posture.
Liang Xiao calculated and felt that his troops were insufficient. After several battles, the total strength was only more than 5,000 cavalry, and even if the subsidies were added, the strength would be too weak. Once he met the main force of Lie Jiaomi, he would have no power to fight at all.
No matter how exquisite the tactics are, they still have to be achieved through strength in the end. With a sudden inspiration, you can defeat the weak and strong in your mind. Only in the story can you find it.
Liang Xiao suddenly thought of a question: Why hasn't Old Andrew arrived yet? Even if the mountain road is difficult to walk, he should have arrived. Could it be that he encountered an unexpected situation, or whether Lie Jiaomi left, just intercepted him?
Liang Xiao's heart skipped a beat and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately called Jian Mi and asked him to arrange someone to travel west to find out the news. After listening to Liang Xiao's analysis, Jian Mi also felt that it was quite possible. He immediately arranged a capable scout, one man and two horses, to rush to inquire about the situation.
Three hundred miles east of the gorge, and Huo Jiaomi immediately rode a short slope. Seeing the Wusun people chasing the crowd like wolves, their thoughts were already flying back to the gorge.
It was not his purpose to chase the Sits. The Sits was just a group of mobs, and he didn't need to do it himself. He left the gorge because after seeing the position at the Sits, he felt that he had no chance to break through Liang Xiao's position. In desperation, he could only retreat on his own initiative.
Retreat does not mean giving up. On the contrary, this is a trap. If Liang Xiao chases out, he will not think about going back.
Because the Xiongnu Youxian King had led 30,000 cavalry into the Yili River Valley, just a hundred miles outside the gorge. As long as Liang Xiao left the gorge and left his carefully arranged position, the Youxian King would cut off his retreat as soon as possible, leaving him with no way out and could only fight in the field.
Even if Liang Xiao is good at fighting, he will definitely be defeated under the attack of a total of 60,000 cavalry of Wusun and the Huns. In fact, as long as he leaves the position at the Gorge, even if there is no Xiongnu helper, Li Jiaomi will have enough confidence to defeat him.
However, the basis of all this was based on Liang Xiao leaving the gorge, so Lie Jiaomi's mind was not on the battlefield in front of him at all, but on the gorge three hundred miles away.
Will Liang Xiao go to the battle?
A knight rushed from the bottom of the mountain, rushed to Lie Jiaomi, and said loudly: "Kunmo, is it still the same as before?"
Lie Jiaomi nodded, turned his horse's head and looked west.
The knights ran away and passed the order of hunting Jiaomi to various tribes. The Wusun people who were chasing the Sai people blew the trumpets and drove the defeated Sai people westward. The Sai people were chased and lost. Seeing that the Wusun people had a gap in their encirclement, they immediately broke through and ran westward without caring about the direction.
Liejiaomi's mouth was crooked and smiled without saying a word.
Liang Xiao quickly learned about Lie Jiaomi's location.
The fleeing man in panic fell to Liang Xiao and begged Liang Xiao to send troops to seek help. Lie Jiaomi walked eastward and took revenge on the man. If Liang Xiao did not provide help, the man would be killed by Lie Jiaomi. At that time, Lie Jiaomi would eat the man's cattle and sheep, and drove the man to Liang Xiao's position, and fill the stone formation with the man's corpse.
Liang Xiao felt it was reasonable, but he did not set off immediately. He just comforted the people and promised that he would revenge them.
He is waiting for news from Old Andrew.
In two or three days, nearly a thousand soldiers fled to the gorge, and their words were basically the same. Lie Jiaomi was chasing Lie Jiaomi, who was in a difficult situation and hoped that Liang Xiao would help and save Lie Yan. Even Jian Mi could not hold back. He wanted to ask Liang Xiao several times, asking him to lead the way, attack Lie Jiaomi, and rescue Lie Yan.
But Liang Xiao refused.
The more people the scattered came, the more he felt something was wrong. The more than 30,000 troops of Hunjiaomi, he went all out to chase the scattered people, and could so many scattered people escape here? Dozens or hundreds of them, but there is still a chance. Nearly a thousand people, isn’t there too many?
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon! Liang Xiao carefully asked all the people who were frustrated, and after careful analysis, he became more and more sure of his intuition.
This is a trap: Hun Jiaomi is fake to chase and block people, and luring him out of the valley is real. He did not win the attack formation, and instead wanted to win in field battles.
Liang Xiao waited patiently for two days and finally got the answer, which surprised him: the Huns were hiding in a valley more than a hundred miles west of the gorge, with unknown numbers. Judging from the traces left by horse hooves trampling on the ground and the Huns' alert range, there were a large number, at least 20,000.
What made Liang Xiao even more worried was that the old Andrew was blocked in the valley by the Huns, but they occupied the favorable terrain, and the Huns could not chew on them for the time being, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
Liang Xiao suddenly understood Lie Jiaomi's sinister intentions. No wonder Lie Jiaomi retreated for only 300 miles. This was to keep a distance so that the Huns could cut off his retreat. If he was intercepted by the Huns, he could not retreat to the canyon. Facing the attack of ten times the Huns and Wusuns, he would not have a way out.
There will be no doubt death.
Liang Xiao immediately came to Jianmi, and Ashana and Doros discussed that Old Andrew was trapped and had to be rescued, otherwise Old Andrew and the others would not last long. However, saving Andrew must face the danger of the Wusun people returning and cutting off the back.
What should I do?
When they heard that Old Andrew and others were trapped by the Huns, they not only became anxious, but Paris, Alexander and others were anxious. Many of the Greek infantrymen were their ancestors, their fathers, and at least their clan members. They were trapped by the Huns, so how could they not be saved?
Faced with the bitter begging of Jian Mi, Paris and others, Liang Xiao almost agreed to them, but in the end he still controlled his impulse, calmed down, and repeatedly deduced the possible results.
It seems that it is the most suitable to attack the Huns first. First, the Huns are close, and second, with Old Andrew and others helping, they can attack the Huns inside and outside, and the chance of winning is higher. Third, the Huns are far away. He will rush back after receiving the news. It will take at least three days. When he arrives, the possibility of the Huns being defeated is extremely high, and Liang Xiao can calmly fight back against Huns.
However, after Liang Xiao thought about it repeatedly, he thought it would be better to hunt Jiaomi first.
Ashana and others were surprised and expressed that they could not understand the reason why Liang Xiao did this. Faced with the questions of Ashana and others, Liang Xiao said: "I want to ask you a question: If we attack the Huns, will Hun Jiaomi sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
Ashana, Jianmi and others looked at each other and shook their heads. "No, Liejiaomi will definitely take this opportunity to join forces with the Huns to attack us."
"Then we attack the Huns, is it possible for the Huns to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?"
Ashana stroked her beard, thought for a while, and slapped her thighs. "It's entirely possible! The more miserable the Liejiaomi was beaten by us, the more she needed the help of the Huns. At that time, the Huns could ask for benefits from Liejiaomi. If Liejiaomi was beaten to death by us, or both were injured, the Huns happened to occupy this pasture. The Huns were cruel and would probably turn against each other and kill the Wusun people together."
"That's it." Liang Xiao clapped his hands and grinned. "Then we will kill Hu Jiaomi first, and then compete with the Huns. He wants to drive the wolf and swallow the tiger, so let's let him see who is the tiger."
"General, our troops are limited. If we want to defeat Lie Jiaomi, we may not suffer small losses."
"Isn't there still people in the siege?" Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows. "I think I should be very interested in siege hunting Jiaomi and siege."—
