Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 14: Wufang Town (4)

The first ray of light in the morning spilled into the house through the wooden windows, and Guo Shao could smell the moist and fresh morning breath from the air. With the help of Luo Mengzi, he just put on two pieces of armor, and the chest plate was covered with ring lock armor on the inside and outside.

Luo Mengzi whispered beside him: "I know that I don't have much ability, but I understand that my eldest brother is capable! Just like this time, I can't make it out of my position... I know that I'm just a soldier, I don't want to be Officer. But, I also want the hot woman at home to have a day, eat well and dress well, but the little money for the soldier is too little. In the future, I will get rid of the big brother, hehe..."

Guo Shao said in his heart that even Luo Er had such thoughts, I am afraid that others would want to rush, but only this servant would say it from his mouth.

He patted Luo Er on the shoulder, and said, "As long as the older brother has something, he will not treat him badly."

Hearing Luo Mengzi's mention of the woman at home, he couldn't help but touch the auspicious talisman hanging on his neck. After a while, he thought of Yulian, and after a while, the memory of past lives flashed through his mind. For a while, inexplicably a little restless.

At this moment, I heard a "bang" suddenly, and an old man dressed in bamboo slammed open the door, kicked on the threshold and fell, panting and coughing. Guo Shao gently raised his jaw and nodded, Luo Mengzi hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.

"Qi and Qidan soldiers are here!"

After listening, Guo Shao took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said quickly: "The third brother, immediately knock the gong to gather all the horses and inform the second brother that the ministries will enter their positions according to the scheduled arrangement. Beware!"

Luo Mengzi's face suddenly became solemn, and he clasped his fist and said, "Take Ling!"

Guo Shao turned around and asked, "How many people are there?"

"I only saw a few cavalry soldiers. They were all non-Han in armor and weapons..." the old man stared and said, "I didn't dare to stay too much, so I ran back down the path quickly."

Guo Shao took out a half-foot dagger from the head of the bed and hid it in his arms, then took the barrier knife on the wooden frame and hung it up, finally took the bow and the quiver, and strode out the door. Outside, the "clanging" gong kept ringing, and the dog barking wildly, and the chickens croaking and flying around, suddenly became lively.

He walked straight up the city wall, and several soldiers followed. Looking into the distance, Guo saw the shadow of a cavalry at the end of his sight slowly coming over.

At this time, there was a sound of heavy and neat footsteps behind him, and Yang Biao led 20 or 30 heavily armed imperial soldiers to gather at the city gate. On the other road, three sergeants were deployed to the middle of the city one after another. They were composed of dozens of old and weak soldiers. These people are older, but they all have been in the army, and they choose people who still have the strength to grow the land. Apart from poor physical strength, they are better, and they are much better than pure minhu. In this era, minhu is not. It's easy to use, because it doesn't use weapons at all and doesn't have a sense of battle formation.

Soon, there was a burst of disturbing shouts in the city, most of the voices were "De Ling". The village soldiers were divided into two groups, one group lined up on the spot, and the other small group scattered across the walls. Some old and weak people around also followed the walls with bamboo poles.

After a while, Mengzi Yang Biaoluo and a few ten generals from the village also climbed up to the city one after another, and continued to look around with Guo Shao.

After waiting for a long time, the small group of cavalry outside slowly approached, a total of eight people, all riding horses. Gradually, it was possible to tell from the armor that it was a Khitan.

After the Khitan entered the Hebei region, all sides learned a lot from the Han people, including armor. At first glance, it looks similar, but it is still easy to find the difference. First of all, the hats are different. The Han soldiers usually wear one-piece pockets. The Khitan soldiers have iron helmets and ear protectors. The ear protectors are like dog skin hats. This may be the reason why the Khitan side is relatively cold. In addition, the fluorene headband on the breastplate and waist is different.

The Qiba rider stopped moving one or two hundred steps away, turned the horse's head and circled the city wall again, still not getting close. After walking like this for a long time, I simply turned around and ran away.

The people on the city wall sighed for a while, and Luo Mengzi laughed loudly: "Seeing our battle, I was scared away!" Yang Biao said, "It may be just a scout team. Seeing that there are guards around the city, there are few people. I am willing to rush in and go back and report the letter." Luo Mengzi said: "Will they come?" Yang Biao snorted, "You have to go to the Khitan people to ask."

Guo Shao yelled: "Send everyone to rest and not leave. If nothing happens at noon, send someone to the streets and call each family to deliver food."

It was a long wait without problems, but everyone seemed very calm. Anyone who has experienced military conquests also understands that most of the time in a war is either walking or working or waiting. There is not much time for real fighting. So now this situation is really normal.

But this time the wait was not long, and it didn't take long to see a large group of people in sight. When I get closer, I can see the size of the opponent. There are 20 or 30 cavalry, and a large group of infantry, about one hundred and two, or one hundred and five. Those infantrymen were holding spears, moving like a dark grove; the cavalry had different weapons, some were spears, some were clubs, and the top was shaped like a large garlic. Guo Shao has served in the military for four years, knowing This thing is called "guduo", which is a blunt weapon. In addition, it seems that many people are equipped with bows and arrows and iron swords.

What is a bit strange is that there is a group of people in front of the enemy soldiers who don't seem to be armed, and it seems messy at first glance. I waited closer to confirm that those people were ordinary people. The people were driven to walk in weeping, and from time to time there was a whip "cracking" on them, screaming and crying. There are also women in it... Obviously, the war in this era is completely ignorant of women, children, and civilians; it will not be until humans endure more brutal|violence, and everyone is willing to sit down and set some rules.

This group of Khitan soldiers didn't have siege equipment, but it didn't seem to need any equipment to fight walls like Wufang Town.

"The bitch!" Luo Mengzi cursed.

Guo Shao ignored the scolding, and he felt bad now: Khitan was not from stragglers, but a formed army with more than 100 people armed to the teeth. Looking back at Wufang Town, there are only twenty or thirty people as a unit of force. The others are a group of old and weak, and the weapons are not complete... Guo Shaoton felt that this battle was a bit fierce. But there is no other way, I can only bite the bullet and deal with it. Is it all right now with a white flag and surrender?

The Khitan soldiers gradually approached, UU reading www.uukanshu.com still stopped one or two hundred steps away. Some people in front of them fell on the ground and wept bitterly, desperate as if they saw the coffin prepared for them and the dug in front of them. Pit. Three more riders came out from the opposite side, not coming up to shout, but just circled the city again.

Guo Shao said in his heart: Don't look, I have already chosen the best offensive route for you.

There are walls and deep ditches on both sides, and there are traps in the deep ditch. Even if no one is defending, climbing in from the wall is very difficult; only the gate to the south is easier. There is no pit, there is a road, and the gate is just It was just a wooden nailed door, with light-transmitting holes everywhere. If you don't directly open the gate and the cavalry rush in first, why bother?

As expected, the Khitan soldiers didn't move their direction, and directly whipped and drove the group of people to the city gate.

After the expelled people approached, Guo Shao waited to see the clothes they were wearing. Almost all were shabby, earthy patched cotton and linen clothes of varying shades, and some were even ragged, and they were all poor farmers. The rich and powerful people who want to come have already ran into the town when they heard the wind, and of course they won’t wait to be caught...Because the Khitan army’s ability to attack cities is poor, it is generally difficult to attack the stronger cities. Relatively safe.

"The whole army is in place!" Guo Shao shouted.

After Yang Biao, Luo Mengzi and others responded, they stepped down the earth wall, and then shouted the troops lined up inside the city gate to retreat to the streets on both sides.

At this time, the sound of bowstrings sounded outside the city, and the Khitan cavalry arbitrarily fired arrows to kill the driven people from behind. In fear, the people screamed and screamed straight to the gate, perhaps mixed with Khitan soldiers in disguise. The town of Wufu lacked bows and arrows, and naturally couldn't stop the chaos from the wall. Guo Shao finally looked back and turned and hurriedly jumped off the wall.
