Next to the hot spring, the bonfire sways and the beautiful figures are seductive.

More than thirty young girls were wearing brocade clothes, accompanied by cheerful music, raised their arms, twisted their waists, and rotated rapidly. Their eyes were as lively as a lark, their waists and feet were as lively as snow leopards, their skirts were flying, like flying clouds, and their toes kicked up, twitching everyone's heartstrings.

Liang Xiao was open and soaked in the hot spring. Looking at the scenery full of joy but hidden murderous intent, and looking at the King of Khotan, who was worried but had to force his face to smile, he laughed secretly. King of Khotan must be in a bad mood at this moment, and he was worried that the temptation would be successful, and he was worried that the temptation would not be successful. Whether it was success or failure, it was a tragic result for him.

The only difference is how tragic it is.

Theft of several consecutive days seemed to prove that Dongfang Shuo's trapping plan was approaching success step by step, but they only brought 500 squadrons and cavalry in total. Even if it included two hundred Han troops, it was probably a question of whether the enemy that could be defeated at any time. He experienced the war personally, but he did not see the combat effectiveness of the Han army with his own eyes. It was normal for him to worry about it when things came to an end.

Liang Xiao was full of confidence. Among the two hundred Han troops, more than 100 Liang family corps led by Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo were mainly Jiangdu Rangers. After long-term training from Huan Yuan and Zhongli period, both in terms of infantry fighting ability and archery skills, they were remarkable. In addition to the five archers including Firefox, the combat power was absolutely reliable. The remaining 100 people were carefully selected Chang'an Rangers, and more than 30 archers selected from Wudan's old.

These archers may not be as good as Firefox and others, but their overall strength is definitely much higher than ordinary archers.

On the battlefield he chose, with these people, Liang Xiao had the confidence to block the elite ten times his. If he was an ordinary bandit, he would have nothing to worry about if he had three or four thousand. But he would not tell King Tian that it would be beneficial to make King Tian nervous. Letting him see the combat effectiveness of the Han army with his own eyes will greatly help the Han people in the future control of Khotan.

Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, the bandits are chickens, and the King of Khotan is that monkey.

Dongfang Shuo was wearing a bull nose, naked upper body, holding a beautiful Khotan woman in one hand, and was playing in the water. The countries in the Nanshan Mountains had more intermarriages with Qiang people, and their appearance was not as obvious as those in the Tianshan Mountains, but they retained the characteristics of white skin. These two women were beauties in the Royal Palace of Khotan, with very good figures, with plump breasts, slender waists, long legs and fat buttocks. When they soaked in the hot spring, their clothes were pressed against their bodies, making people unable to move their eyes.

Dongfang Shuo hugged left and right, proud and happy like a god. However, the King of Khotan, who was close to him, had a reluctant smile and was unwilling to go into the water. He was wrapped in a leather robe, looking like he was ready to fight or escape at any time.

A guard of Khotan rushed over, and the King of Khotan muttered a few words in his ear. The King of Khotan's face changed drastically. He rushed to the hot spring and bowed to Liang Xiao. "General, the bandits are here."

"No hurry." Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of you coming, but he was afraid of you not coming. "How many people are there?"

"It's dark and I can't see clearly, but it should be no less than five hundred depending on the length of the team."

"How many tribes have you come?"

"I haven't confirmed yet, I guess they're all here."

"That's great." Liang Xiao looked at King Yutian. "Are you nervous?"

King Khotan's cheeks twitched, and a little embarrassed appeared on his pampered face. He looked at Liang Xiao, with scars on Liang Xiao's shoulders and backs, and several penetrating injuries were particularly dazzling. Usually, although he looked at Liang Xiao, although he was serious, he was not ferocious, but at this moment, even if he smiled gently, coupled with this look, he always made people feel a little scared.

Every scar proves that the young Han soldier in front of him is not a good person to talk to. He has experienced life and death and has strong force. The King of Khotan can not be afraid of bandits, but must not be afraid of Liang Xiao.

However, King Khotan cannot show his timidity. He is the king of Khotan. If he is too timid, how can he rule in the future?

"Don't worry, with my Han army warriors here, I will protect the king from good health." Dongfang Shuo walked over, grabbed King Yutian, and dragged him into the water. King Yutian was caught off guard, took a few sips of water, was soaked all over, looked embarrassed, and was very embarrassed. Dongfang Shuo laughed. "What are you doing in such a dress? We meet you honestly, and you are so cautious about us."

"I dare not, I dare not." King Khotan stood up in the water, carrying his wet clothes, and was about to climb up.

"Come on, let's wear a loose dress for the king." Dongfang Shuo waved, called two beauties, and asked them to strip King Khotan's clothes, leaving only a pair of pants. King Khotan was in a hurry and had to squat in the water. He was not like Liang Xiao and Dongfang Shuo, with strong muscles. He was old and had loose muscles and had no capital to show off. He was suddenly stripped naked by Dongfang Shuo, and he was really ashamed.

Liang Xiao comforted, "Don't worry, the horses are dead when they look at the mountain. It's midnight again. When the bandits come here, at least half an hour later. We have enough time to prepare. The king will take a hot spring while waiting to watch the show. This time, we must make them pay the price for what they do."

King Khotan laughed a few times and had to sit down.

After a while, another guard came to report that some bandits had entered the valley.

After a while, the guards came to report that there were more and more bandits, and the total number might exceed 1,000. They blocked the exit to the lake, which meant that they could catch them all.

After a while, another guard came to report, and bandits also appeared at the exit on the west side of the hot spring.

The King of Khotan's face looked like earth. The total number of bandits was nearly 2,000, and they were attacked by both sides. This was to be captured in one go. If the bandits succeeded, the Kingdom of Khotan would be destroyed. If Liang Xiao had not been here, the King of Khotan would almost suspect that Liang Xiao was using a knife to kill people and would take the opportunity to capture Khotan.

Liang Xiao smiled and shook his head. "The thief is a thief. He can't do anything promising except stealing. Fighting with such a person is simply an insult to our Han army." He stood up. "Manqian, sit with the king, I'll go."

Dongfang Shuo glanced at Liang Xiao. "What a big deal, do you want to go there yourself? Find someone and let's continue drinking."

Liang Xiao thought about it and sat down again. "It makes sense, come to Guo Wu and Pang Shuo."

A personal guard responded and turned around. Liang Xiao turned around and entered the pool. The two young girls of Khotan immediately met him, and were very attentive. However, the King of Khotan changed drastically. What does this mean? Liang Xiao did not come out in person and asked his men to deal with these bandits?

"General?"

Liang Xiao saw the nervousness of King Khotan and smiled and said, "Don't worry, the king, I'm here to accompany the king. If there is any danger, I'm willing to use my body as a shield to protect the king. Leave those small things to them."

As he was speaking, Guo Wu and Pang Shuo came to the front. Liang Xiao said, "Pang Shuo, within a hundred steps, someone is approaching, and there is no mercy to kill him."

Pang Shuo bowed and said.

"Guo Wu, these bandits have become robbed. Teach them a lesson so that they can escape when they hear your name in the future."

Guo Wu was stunned for a moment, then was overjoyed. He understood what Liang Xiao meant, and was asking him to guard Yutian. Yutian is a place where jade is produced and an important town in Nanshan. Being able to guard this place is definitely Liang Xiao’s trust in him.

"Don't worry, please see how we kill the thief."

"Go." Liang Xiao waved his hand, Guo Wu, Pang Shuo turned around and was about to leave, but Dongfang Shuo called them. He pointed to the girls who were singing and dancing. "Did you see clearly? Use the first level to judge merit, and the top thirty of merit book will be selected in order."

Guo Wu and Pang Shuo looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Mr., thank you." After that, they rushed to run away.

Pang Shuo was very fast, and the Liang family troops he led were also approaching. Liang Xiao and others heard his roar first: "Brothers, aren't you jealous of these girls? The opportunity is here. The king has an order to judge the merits by the head level. The top thirty warriors are selected in order. Can we let these good girls fall into the hands of those beasts?"

In addition to some Western Region mercenaries, most of the Liang family members were Jiangdu wanderers, and they did a lot of things like stealing fragrance and powder. After coming to the Western Regions, women in the Western Regions also saw a lot of them, but these beauties came from the Khotan Palace, which was rare for them to encounter. I heard that they had the chance to get one, so they laughed and shouted: "No! We must protect them!"

"Yes, we have to keep them all so that they will regret it for the rest of their lives."

"Listen." Pang Shuo shouted loudly: "Take out your real skills and let the girls see who is the real man."

"good!"

"I want it!"

Guo Wu walked slowly, stood aside with his arms in his arms, watching Pang Shuo boost morale. After Pang Shuo finished speaking, he looked at him proudly and then smiled slightly. "Sorry, brothers, there is a difference between inside and outside. You are responsible for protecting the king and lord, and you can't leave your post casually."

When Pang Shuo heard this, his thick eyebrows raised. "What do you mean?"

"I understand what I mean. If you want to behead and make meritorious contributions, you must first ask whether we agree or not. If we kill all the enemies, even if you have the best skills, can you still hurt people with flying swords?"

After saying that, he laughed to the sky and left.

"I...Damn!" Pang Shuo slapped his thigh and was stunned. "What should I do?"

Guo Wu returned to his position and told the whole story, the guards burst into laughter. Although the sources of these people were complicated, some were the Rangers recruited by Liang Xiaoxin, some were Guo Wu's old subordinates, and some were Wu Dan's old subordinates who had just surrendered, at this moment, they shared the same hatred and decided not to give Pang Shuo and others a chance to get a bargain.

"Let them watch us kill the enemy and make contributions to embrace the beauty, but they can only drool!"

"Okay! They can't even eat their farts."

After the success of motivating morale, Guo Wu immediately arranged troops to set up his troops. He arranged the archers who were good at shooting on the hillsides on both sides, and arranged those who were good at fighting in the valley. He led more than ten old cavalry and his infantrymen, holding spears, and preparing for charge. The other people's war horses also stood behind the formation. As for the soldiers of the Kingdom of Khotan, he arranged them behind him to watch the battle, and there was no intention of sending them to the battlefield.

Everything was ready. Half an hour later, a group of bandits with more than 200 people appeared in front of Guo Wu and others. Seeing the Han soldiers waiting for battle, they were stunned. A sneak attack turned into a strong attack, which was a serious blow to their psychology. If it weren't for the small number of Han soldiers who set up the formation, they might have turned around and left.

After hesitating for a while, they launched an attack.

The Han army was motionless, as if they were stunned. Only those old Wu Dan troops who had just surrendered were a little nervous. They shot two arrows and were immediately stopped. It was not until the bandits rushed to more than ten steps and the messy arrows fell on the shields and oracle bones of the Han army infantrymen, Guo Wu issued the order to shoot.

The archers on the hillsides on both sides are masters with superb shooting skills. The distance of more than ten steps is no different from that in front of them. Even if the light is not good, they can hit every shot. People with good archery skills have a clear difference from ordinary archers. They do not perform cover shooting, but choose more valuable targets as much as possible to maximize the benefits of each arrow.

At this moment, these more than 30 top archers have chosen to shoot those who look the most fierce, or look like leaders. Although the number of killings is limited, the effect is very obvious.

In a few breaths, after a round of shooting, almost everyone shot three to four arrows, and a total of more than one hundred arrows almost all hit the target. The warriors who were responsible for commanding or boosting morale with personal force suffered a severe blow and lost more than half of them.

Seeing the companions fall down, the bandits are in chaos. Some continue to rush forward, while others stop, intend to retreat, or find the position of the opponent's archer, intending to fight back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the infantrymen in the array launched a counterattack. They shouted and advanced forward.

The bandits were hit by a head-on blow, one by one, falling into a pool of blood, and the formation was even more chaotic.

Guo Wu immediately seized the opportunity, kicked the horse and started charging. More than ten knights followed him, bypassed the infantry and rushed towards the bandits. They had been in this valley for a few days, clearly understood the terrain here, and even cleaned up in advance to facilitate the cavalry's charge. As soon as they were launched, they were like tigers going down the mountain, unstoppable.

The bandit collapsed immediately, called the sky and the earth, turned around and ran away.

Guo Wu was not too slow and urged the horse to trot, rushing forward with more than a hundred bandits. The archers also stepped on the war horses, moved closer to Guo Wu, and continued to shoot with bows and arrows. The infantry also jumped on the war horses and followed the charge.

The bandits were panicked and shouted, and fled.

The bandits following behind were puzzled by the sound of shouting and killing in front of them. The original plan was to attack, at least to siege the more to bully the few. What they heard should be the horn of the Qiang people pursuing victory. Why are they hearing the sound of war drums of the Han people pursuing victory?

Before they could understand what was going on, the defeated bandits rushed over, and the terrified cry suddenly smashed the bandits' dreams.

Immediately afterwards, the rumbling sound of horse hooves sounded, and Guo Wu and others arrived, killing them wantonly—
Chapter completed!
