Chapter 260 Opportunity

Liang Xiao waited in the front hall for a long time, but Creon did not show up.≤≤Xiao≤ said, Sigma was annoyed, and asked Liang Xiao several times to ask Liang Xiao for advice, and wanted to rush in to question Creon. Liang Xiao just smiled and stopped Sigma.

He could see that Ampass should be Creon's confidant and a rare calm person. He had not come out for so long, so he would not have deliberately been despised, but should have to report to Creon in detail what he had seen this day.

This is exactly what he needed Ampass to do. He spent so much effort not only to suppress the mercenaries and turn them into use, but also to cheer up Creon. Dayuan has been peaceful for more than 30 years, and Creon is just in his fifties, so he probably has not experienced any war. Such a powerful man can easily collapse in front of the Huns. If Creon's legs are weak, he will not be able to defend Suye City even if he works hard.

He needs to give Creon a little confidence. He cannot tell Creon himself that Ampass is his spokesperson. The longer Ampass stays in it, the greater his chance of success, and then Creon will have the confidence in him.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Creon and Ampass walked out with a smile and firm steps. Seeing Liang Xiao, he rushed two steps, grabbed Liang Xiao, held Liang Xiao's hand, and said repeatedly: "Thank you hard and the best."

"I am willing to serve Dayuan and serve the adults."

"Come on, please sit down." Creon pulled Liang Xiao into the seat intimately and ordered someone to arrange a banquet to celebrate Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao stopped him. "Sir, the Huns may arrive at the city at any time. It is not too late to celebrate the merits when they are defeated."

"That's true." Creon didn't insist. "Then, if you have anything you need to do, you might as well say it out loud."

Liang Xiao looked at Ampass. Ampass nodded.

"Since that's the case, I'll give some suggestions and ask for advice from my elders."

Creon laughed, raised his ears and listened carefully.

Liang Xiao had never commanded real battles before, nor did he command the battle to defend the city, but he heard Huan Yuan's request and talked about many key points of defending the city. Before meeting Creon, he had learned about the situation of Suye City in detail with Nie Yi and made sufficient preparations. At this moment, he talked one by one. It was orderly and every sentence could be implemented.

Creon nodded frequently, and the two had a great time talking. After talking about the city defense, Creon readily allocated the 30,000 gold coins he had agreed to be equivalent to one thousand gold to Liang Xiao. Since he decided to defend the city, he should not be stingy. Instead of being stolen by the Huns after the city was broken, it would be better to take it out and motivate the mercenaries to fight and defend Suye City from being robbed by the Huns.

With these 30,000 gold coins, Liang Xiao suddenly gained his hand. The Han merchants raised more than 3,000 gold for him and paid the deposits from the mercenaries, he also saved two thousand golds. In addition to these 30,000 gold coins, he is now full of pockets and more confident.

However, he didn't dare to be too careless. The money was not his. Once the war began, these gold coins would be spent like flowing water.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. In war, money is the battle.

A day later, Wu Dan rushed to Su Ye City. When he saw the defenses up and down Su Ye City, Wu Dan smiled and pointed at the Yuezhi camp with a horse whip and scolded contemptuously: "Coward, he actually learned from the Han people to set up camp. Do they even know how to ride horses?"

The Huns laughed, their tone was relaxed and their expressions were free. In their eyes, the people of Dayuan in Suye City and the people of Yuezhi outside Suye City were just a group of lambs to be slaughtered. The only difference is who to slaughter first.

Wu Dan was very sure. He was not in a hurry. He ordered camping while walking under the city to check the city defense. He was very confident and even walked within the range. Looking up at the city, the arrogant and unrestrained laughter was directly heard by the soldiers in Suye City.

Creon was so angry that he gritted his teeth by Wu Dan's contempt that he wanted to shoot the hateful Wu Dan to death.

Liang Xiao did not move. He didn't even look at Wu Dan, but stared at the Hun camp in the distance for a long time.

Facing Wu Dan's frivolity, Kreon saw insults, and he saw opportunity.

The Huns were very confident. The Daying was only more than two miles away from the city, almost under the noses of the soldiers in Suye City. According to the Huns' habits, their Daying camp had no camp, and wherever the tent was located, it was the camp.

Wu Dan was too confident. This might be an opportunity to take advantage of his lack of firm foothold and give him a head-on attack.

"Empress, can you shoot two arrows and let him see the magical archery technique of the Empress?" Creon finally couldn't help but ask Liang Xiao through Ampass. Liang Xiao smiled slightly and shook his head. "Sir, although Wu Dan is arrogant, he is not risky. He seems to be within range, but as long as he sees the bow raised from the city, he will be alert. The arrow I shoot will not only be avoided by him, but may even be caught by him."

"Is that true?" Creon hesitated. What he wanted was Liang Xiao to shoot Wu Dan to death, not to let Wu Dan perform.

"That's right. Even the arrows shot by the strongest bow will be greatly reduced when they reach the range. With the abilities of Wu Dan and the defenders around him, it is not difficult to catch the arrows. However, it is always no benefit to be too crazy, not to mention that he is a general of the army. Don't worry, I will give him some color."

Creon was skeptical. Liang Xiao didn't say much and turned to the Yuezhi camp.

Like Creon, the Yuezhi people were also angry with the arrogance of the Huns. Batu was furious, and his face was flushed red, and he shouted that Ashana wanted Ashana to fight and taught Wudan a lesson. However, Ashana did not say a word and issued a death order, not allowing anyone to go out of camp.

Seeing Liang Xiao, Batu was as if he had seen reinforcements, rushed over and begged: "Empress, please help me with your anger. Wu Dan is so bullying."

Liang Xiao looked at Ashana and smiled: "How do you want to vent your anger? Let me shoot him with an arrow?"

"Of course, if you can shoot him to death, I'll give you two of the most beautiful makis."

"Then let it go." Liang Xiao laughed and sat opposite Ashana. "Da Lu, I have an idea that maybe I can hit the arrogance of the Huns."

Asha nodded calmly.

"Wu Dan went deep into the army alone, and seemed to have a steady advantage, and there were many substantial crises. At this time, he actually dared to set up the camp so close to the city, which shows that he did not take us seriously at all."

Asha nodded. Like Batu, he was also very annoyed. However, he knew that the strength of the two sides was very different. He was not Wu Dan's opponent at all. If he went to fight blindly, he would only humiliate himself. Liang Xiao said differently. He saw the arrogance of the Huns and wanted to seize the opportunity to give a heavy blow. This was essentially different from Batu's simple venting of anger.

"What are Liang Jun going to do?"

"I want to summon hundreds of cavalry to attack the Huns' camp at night and give them a warning."

Ashana pondered for a long time. "What do you need me to do?"

"There are seventy or eighty horses around me who can take on this responsibilities. If Dalu can support me thirty horses, I think it will be enough."

"How confident are you?"

"I dare not say too much, there are still 70%."

"Where do you want to start the attack?"

"southeast."

"What happened today was the northwest wind, and it was against the wind that launched an attack from the southeast." Ashana stared at Liang Xiao's eyes and said slowly: "When shooting arrows against the wind, the range will be affected."

"Yes, I'm going to take advantage of the impact of the northwest wind on range." Liang Xiao smiled. "In this way, it will be more beneficial when we break through the Huns' camp and retreat. As for the Huns' battle, the Huns will not discover us at all."

Ashana smiled. "Okay, I'll pick thirty guards for him. They are all elites who have been fighting with me for many years. I hope they can help Liang Jun with his help and defeat the majesty of the Huns."

Liang Xiao bowed and thanked him. "In addition, please prepare for the support."

"Don't worry." Ashana patted Liang Xiao's shoulder, speaking very slowly, but he was very firm. "I will open the camp door in time to welcome you back."

Liang Xiao returned to the city and summoned everyone to discuss. When they heard that they were going to attack the Huns at night, everyone was immediately excited and ready to go. They were all excited. Since fighting with the Wusun people outside Guishan City, they have not fought for nearly two months and have practiced martial arts every day, but cannot fight. It is really too irritating.

Xie Guanglong said impatiently: "Sir, when will you set off?"

"On the city after nightfall," Liang Xiao said, "Old Xie, go and pick it. According to your usual training level, pick thirty or forty spears to make good strong players. The mount should be as dark as possible. Each person should prepare a dark cloth to wrap his body, and then prepare a few pieces of cloth to wrap the horse's hooves."

"Sir, don't worry, I often do this." Xie Guanglong laughed and led Guo Wu out.

Liang Xiao called the eighteen mercenaries to explain the situation. Although the mercenaries were a little nervous, they saw Liang Xiao going to fight in person, and the people around him all looked relaxed and even a little excited, so they naturally became more confident. When Liang Xiao announced that there would be another reward for this battle, they immediately agreed and turned around to prepare.

After a full meal, Liang Xiao took advantage of the night and quietly left the west gate of Suye City with one hundred and seven cavalry and rushed westward.

The Hun scouts found their traces, but did not dare to come forward to intercept them. They just sent someone to follow them, and reported the news to Wudan.

Wu Dan took it seriously, with more than one hundred cavalry and heading west again, there was only one possibility: to go to nearby cities for help. Wu Dan knew that the city guards in Dayuan were limited, and each city had only about a thousand people. For him, it was just a piece of cake.

"Let them come, it's better if I come, so I won't have to rush over and kill them." Wu Dan said carelessly, raising his wine glass and sipped it all in one go.

Wu Dan didn't take the more than a hundred cavalry seriously, so the scouts naturally didn't take it seriously. They just patrol as usual, reminding each other to be careful, and quickly put the more than a hundred cavalry behind their minds.

Liang Xiaozhao ran for more than thirty miles, exceeding the normal warning range of the Huns. He stopped when he saw no one chasing him. He turned his horse's head and looked at the knights slowly surrounding him, and laughed silently.

"Everyone, what we are going to do is something that only real brave men dare to do. We only have one hundred and eight people, but we are facing more than ten thousand Huns. This is a battle with a huge number of people, but it is also a hearty battle. I can guarantee that most of you will never have a second chance in your life."

Liang Xiao paused and said, "Because, it is difficult for you to meet such a powerful comrade-in-arms again, and even more difficult for you to meet a stupid opponent like Wu Dan."—
