Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In early summer, the weather became warmer, and Guo Shao and others worried that the corpse would decay in the town to cause a plague. They wanted to bury the dead in the back mountain as soon as possible, but the town’s general Li Desheng tried his best to stop it. He found someone to cut off the head of the Khitan soldiers and load them into the truck, and sent Luzhou to ask for credit.

A few days later, officials came from Luzhou and brought six pigs and sheep and two sacks of copper coins to Wuyu Town to reward the generals. At this time, Guo Shaocai finally realized why there were Khitan soldiers here.

The news first came from Liaozhou officials who surrendered.

After the Battle of Gaoping, the Khitan army retreated, or did not expect that the Zhou army would immediately attack Jinyang (Taiyuan) by victory. A group of people stayed in Liaozhou, southeast of Jinyang, and had no time to leave. Its military strength is not much, the real Khitan cavalry has only one or two hundred horses, and there are thousands of foreign servant infantrymen. When they learned that the Zhou Dynasty army was going northward, they could not get away... the line from Jinyang to Taihang Mountain in the north was controlled by the Zhou army, and the east of Taihang Mountain was also the Hebei towns under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty.

This Khitan soldier's retreat was blocked, and then it became worse. When that was the case, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty ordered the Fourth Route Army to attack the periphery of Jinyang and support the main battle. The right wing was Kang Yanzhao, the defense officer of Laizhou, who attacked Liaozhou. The officials of Liaozhou sent people to surrender day and night.

The Khitan soldiers were preparing to break through, but they soon received a secret order from the north, and ordered them to go straight south from Liaozhou to harass the Zhou Dynasty’s grain road. Encircled on all sides, not retreating but advancing, obviously this soldier has become an abandoned child, and the upper Khitan only hopes that they will play a little role in the end.

...

Zhou Jun’s logistical supplies are indeed very problematic. It is said that countless counties and counties including Xi, Ci, Jiang, Ze, Jin, Lu, Xing, Zhao, Zhen, Ding, etc., have been required to expropriate the people. Before shipping grain. Youpu shot Li Gu temporarily to replace Fu Yanqing, sentenced Taiyuan to do government affairs, and used his whole body to adjust food.

It didn't take long to see the grain-transporting convoys on the road near Luzhou in an endless stream, like a long dragon, not seeing the beginning and the end.

Guo Shao discussed with the generals and decided to follow the army escorting the grain and grass north to Jinyang and return to the Xiaodi army.

So Guo Shao led the imperial army squad and started walking northward. In addition to the three brothers and civil servant Zuo You, 20 wounded soldiers recovered. Originally, there were 40 or 50 wounded soldiers placed in Wufang Town, but some were disabled, some were seriously injured, and seven or eight died in the battle in Wufang Town.

It's a heavy-duty trek for a long distance. Guo Shao came out of Tokyo. He didn't know how many roads he had walked, but his boots had worn out. Halfway through, he encountered the right servant who was patrolling the grain road and shot Li Gu's horse. Li Gu heard about Guo Shao's record and greatly admired him. He ordered the grain commander to provide supplies along the way and rewarded more than 20 war horses.

After Guo Shao got the horse, he transformed into a cavalry unit.

In mid-May, Guo Shao's team only went to Jinyang and was immediately stunned by what they saw.

Smoke billowed in the sky above the standing Jinyang City, killing sound shook the sky, and countless large army groups surrounded them, attacking on all sides. I saw people crawling everywhere on the high city wall. Watching this battle, Zhou Jun was using the most conventional siege tactics: Ants. Like ants, the main tool is the ladder.

Countless rockets were flying in the air, the whole city exploded like a firework tube, and the rockets were like flying dense sparks. The flames flickered above and below the city, and black smoke was everywhere. The ladder was full of people, rolling logs and rocks fell one after another, and people were falling from mid-air. The most unbearable thing was that the city poured oil from time to time and caught fire, and the soldiers who burned up were desperately chaotic under the wall. Get out of the way, the armor that caught fire would not be able to take off for a while.

A group of people pushed a cowhide cart close to the city gate. There were stone caves on both sides of the city gate, and they poured oil. After a while, the cart turned into a raging firewood. Zhou Jun went on and on, and there were continuous casualties. The battlefield looked extremely tragic.

...Guo Shao and others were stunned there, until they saw a group of civilian men carrying wounded soldiers screaming and groaning toward this side, they quickly led the horses to make way.

With thousands of troops fighting like this, where to find Zhang Yongde?

When the group of civilians passed by, they soon saw a large group of Zhou army cavalry marching here. The current banner had the word "xiang", but I didn't know which army it was.

At first, this group of cavalry ignored Guo Shao and others, because they were also dressed in Zhou Jun's armor and were obviously friendly forces. However, some people still find it strange, why are there more than 20 people standing here watching the show?

A military commander in front left the road, reined in the side of the road, and pointed at Guo Shao who took the lead with his whip, "Whose soldiers and horses are you?"

Guo Shao replied: "The Xiaodi Army Infantry Commander Wang Degong's people."

"There are so many horses in the infantry squad?" the general asked.

Guo Shao hurriedly said: "These horses shot right and were rewarded by Li Gong, a government official in Taiyuan. We came from Luzhou and met Li Pu shot. Li Pu shot heard that we were waiting to kill Zhang Yuanhui and defeated the Qidan Ranger over a hundred People’s deeds, commend the final generals, and present them with war horses..."

"Your name is Guo Shao?" the general asked hurriedly.

"It is the end."

At this moment, the general in front of the horse soldier turned his head and took a look, and immediately turned his horse to come here. I saw the general with thick bones~www.readwn.com~, his skin was yellow and rough, and he looked very burly; the general was also looking at Guo Shao up and down.

The general asked: "Are you Guo Shao?"

Guo Shao calmly replied: "I have military status; in addition, there is a general named Zhao Kuangyin in the Forbidden Army who met the general in Gaoping and praised him face to face. The general dare not deceive."

Others whispered: "The scattered members are Yuhou, Zhao Kuangyin, there is such a person."

"Haha!" The general suddenly laughed, "You said it was Guo Shao, it would save trouble!"

"The general has seen the end general?"

The general said: "I haven't seen it, I've heard of it. You shot Zhang Yuanhui with an arrow, and you can count on stepping on his body to become famous." He took a closer look at Guo Shao, and said, "The small bottom army is in Gaopingquan. If the fight is gone, who are you looking for? I think so, you will go with me to reinforce King Wei first, after the fight, come back and show you to the official family, and let the official family give you another official...Ha! By the way, it would have been The envoy of Xuanhui Nanyuan and the former army superintendent Xiangxun of Hedong Xingying."

"Looking forward to the name of the general for a long time!" Guo Shao hurriedly bowed his hands. In my mind, he had been in the army of the Five Generations for several years, but he still didn't fully understand the various official positions above, and was only familiar with the positions of the generals at the bottom. However, once Xiang Xun's official title is so domineering, it must be not low.

Xiang Xun said: "Would you like to go with me? Wei Wang Fu Yanqing blocked the Liao army in Xinzhou. He was not strong enough to send people to ask for help. This would be to reinforce Xinkou under the order of the official.

Guo Shao happily clasped his fist and said, "I will go to the end."

When it was, he didn't have time to solicit the opinions of his brothers and subordinates, so he agreed to speak first. Everyone should also understand this decision: It's all here, it must be a war... Is there any more tragic errand than climbing the wall in Jinyang City over there? Look at the wounded soldiers who were brought back, all cooked with kerosene.

So everyone followed Guo Shao and led the horse to join Xiang Xun's army.
