Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 19: Battle of Jinyang (4)

Xinkou, yellow sand is all over the sky.

Legend has it that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, personally conquered the Xiongnu and was besieged, broke through the siege, and escaped here all the way to escape. Liu Bang was very happy that he survived the catastrophe, so he named this place "Xinkou", which means very happy mouth.

The blood of our ancestors has long been flowing all over the rivers and mountains. The Huns, Turks, Uighurs, Khitans, and Hans have all come here, like Xinkou, which is an important military strategist. The ancients fought **** battles here, and today's people still succeeded.

When Guo Shao walked to this place, he was immediately shocked when he saw the situation in the mountains and rivers. There are mountains on both sides. Looking into the distance, there are dark shadows behind the mountains. The shadows of the mountains are like huge dark clouds pressing on the ground from the sky.

The sun is hanging to the west, the sky is clear and the ground is very dry, and a large area of ​​dust and fog is stepped on by horses and horses.

The people Guo Shao followed Xiang Xun immediately went to a hillside, and the killing sound in front of them suddenly became louder. Thousands of troops and horses appeared in front of them, and the dilapidated Xinkou Junzhen seemed very small, like a lone boat in the crowd, shaky.

The Liao army to the north was obviously crowded, the fronts were turned upside down, and the horsemen behind were all lined up. Zhou Jun was all on the front line, without any reserve team, and the entire battlefield was dusty and flags surging.

In this battle, the scale of the battle between the two sides added up to not 10,000 but also 8,000. There are so many people, so lively, but it makes people feel a sense of loneliness inexplicably... Maybe it's because of the fact that there are no other people in the army except for the fighting.

"The main force of the Liao army is here, and even if we reinforce it, it will be a drop in the bucket." Xiang Xun saw the scene clearly and immediately said.

Zhang Jianxiong cursed angrily: "The one surnamed Shi is still rushing. He thinks he can defeat the Liao army?"

Xiang Xunjun deployed his formation behind the hillside and stopped moving for a while.

After watching it carefully, everyone finally understood the situation on the battlefield. Most of the cavalry in front of the Zhou army could not break through the line of the Liao army, and only one of them had already penetrated the depths of the Liao army. There were not many people in that group. Among the thousands of troops in the Liao army, they rushed from left to right, surrounded by large tracts of Liao soldiers; it seemed that it must be Shi Yanchao and his close companions, and only he could be so fierce!

Although the cavalry inside rushed from side to side, they couldn't have any influence on the army that was one mile wide, let alone shake the Liao army. But they look very tough, and they haven't been eliminated for a long time...If they don't break out, it will only be a matter of time.

Xiang Xun immediately reviewed the generals and said: "Today's important task is to rescue Shi Yanchao and withdraw to Xinzhou."

"Lord..." Zhang Jianxiong wanted to speak again. He seemed to have a deep prejudice against Shi Yanchao.

But he was immediately stopped by Xiang Xun, and Xiang Xun said: "Shi Yanchao, I will be the first warrior, and I will be known to the entire army. If he is allowed to fight, I will be robbed of hundreds of thousands of troops! Morale will suffer greatly. Weakened, the consequences cannot be calculated."

The audience will listen and worship.

Xiang Xun pointed out with a whip: "The front and rear joints of the Liao Army's right wing are weaker, and Shi Yanchao's position is also to the right. Zhang Jianxiong, you will immediately lead your team to ride out and drive towards the right wing; Shi Yanchao is a veteran of the battle formation. Driving eastward, flanking on both sides, can solve Shi Yanchao's siege."

"The final commander!" Zhang Jianxiong took the order and left.

In a short time, one or two hundred elite cavalry came out in the army, with strict armor and weapons, and the soldiers were brave. However, the cavalry horses of Xiang Xun had no armor and were still light cavalry.

This horse soldier is divided into four units at the front and rear. The front army is all equipped with lances and spears, and the ones at the back are equipped with sabers and bows. The weapons in each row are relatively uniform, and they look very neat and beautiful. After they were dispatched, they jogged forward.

At this moment, I saw a horse soldier moving from the flank of the troops behind the Liao army that did not participate in the war, and stared at Zhang Jianxiong's department.

Zhang Jianxiong's team was intercepted on the right flank, and both sides shot a projectile. Then Zhang's first wave of cavalry rushed head-on, and the two sides confronted and fought. The cavalry group immediately rushed and slashed, and the people turned their horses into a group. However, the two horsemen in the middle of Zhang's Department did not rush into the battle group, but moved forward in a roundabout way.

Zhang Jianxiong arrived at the premeditated location and immediately launched an assault, fiercely | Sure enough, as Xiang Xun had foreseen, Zhang Jianxiong led the army into the enemy's formation in a rush. Shi Yanchao Jingqi, who was trapped in the enemy's formation, noticed the movement and also turned to the right to support reinforcements. Before long, the flank of the Liao Army was pierced from the middle, and Shi Yanchao got support from reinforcements and broke out of the siege.

Almost all battle horses were on the battlefield, and groups of horsemen on both sides charged back and forth, like the whirlpool of waves in a typhoon. The horse's hoof fell so that the ground was shaking.

Unexpectedly, the horse soldiers who joined the flanks did not retreat, and continued to charge at the position where the Liao army was loose. Not long after, the rear of the Liao army did not enter the battlefield, and a large number of horsemen began to move out, reinforcements from the right wing.

Zhang Jianxiong’s troops turned around and rushed out to the south. The Liao’s reinforcements almost followed Zhang Jianxiong, flooding over like a tide; Zhang Jianxiong led his army, but was chased and shot and killed many people. People kept falling... but Shi Yanchao didn’t. Come out, because it is easy to see among the turbulent horses, there is a place where the dust and fog are very big, as if there are thorns in it.

Zhang Jianxiong ran while fighting. Fortunately, he was a cavalry, and he fought hard. After a while, I saw him with a **** expression on his face. He jumped off his horse and yelled: "Shi Yanchao is dying by himself, no wonder someone else! I lost so many people!"

Xiang Xun frowned, and asked, "Have you seen him, have you spoken badly?"

Zhang Jianxiong spit out a mouthful of blood: "How dare you do bad things about the lord in the end? Without saying anything, I persuaded him to break out first, and then make a fuss... By the way, I told him that there are not many reinforcements."

Xiang Xun asked, "How did Shi Yanchao answer your question?"

Zhang Jianxiong suddenly became angry again: "He said, Zhu Zi is watching the battle on the side, to see how Lao Zi breaks the Liao army formation...Mother!"

The generals looked at each other and sighed.

Suddenly Xiang Xun patted his forehead and sighed: "I killed Shi Yanchao!"

"Why did the lord say this?" the ministers hurriedly asked.

Xiang Xun said: "I shouldn't have led King Wei's military order. If another person comes to save Shi Yanchao, maybe he will appreciate it!"

A general persuaded: "The lord does not have to blame himself. Shi Yanchao is reluctant to lose his subordinates. If he loses, he will be crushed by the Liao army and the casualties cannot be counted. That's why he is blindly trying to retreat. The Liao Army... he does not leave, but has nothing to do with the lord."

"Shi Yanchao's life is more critical than this general." Xiang Xun reached out to the hilt of the saber.

"Hold on to the general," Guo Shao said suddenly.

The generals turned to look at Guo Shao behind, and Xiang Xun said, "What do you have to say?"

"The general thought that General Xiang could wait." Guo Shao's voice was calm, "Has the general saved a drowning person? When the drowning person just fell into the water, he still had physical strength and was panicked. If he goes down immediately. To save a person, he will have his head and neck restrained, and he may not be able to save him from danger. He may also cause him to drown. When the manpower is not enough, the best way to save a person from drowning is to wait and wait until the drowning person is exhausted. Then it will get twice the result with half the effort."

Xiang Xun listened to Guo Shao's look with interest, and unconsciously let go of his hand from the hilt, pondered for a moment and asked: "In Guo Lang's opinion, when is the time to save Shi Yanchao from drowning? "

Guo Shao pointed to the front battle formation: "In the Liao formation, the dust raised by the Qianfeng Shi's movement has not changed. Therefore, it can be inferred that even if the soldiers next to the Qianfeng Shi have been reduced, they have not yet come to the battle. When his strength drops sharply, it does not affect his speed of rushing. When they are exhausted and attrition to a certain extent, they will inevitably be unable to rush and the dust in the sky will stop moving. At this time, shoot and get out of the siege. Then the forward can't fight anymore...unless he really wants to die."

Xiang Xun asked back: "If you don't know your urgency, or if you fail to make a rush and fail to clear the siege in time, causing Shi Yanchao to die, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

Guo Shao said: "No, even if the siege is resolved, will the historical forward be willing to give up?"

Zhang Jianxiong echoed: "I see Guo Lang's method! Shi Yanchao just didn't shed tears without seeing the coffin. We were desperate to relieve him, but he didn't appreciate it. When the Liao army reinforces the pressure, UU reading www. uukanshu.com, if we don’t leave, we have to accompany him to exhaustion in the big formation!"

"Then wait." Xiang Xun calmly said.

The sun gradually went west and reached the top of the mountain. At first glance it didn't move, but after a while, you can see that it has dropped a little bit. Xiang Xun’s troops stopped on both sides of the road, and the whole army stood still. This side was very peaceful; but the sound of killings shook the sky, the horses galloping, the battle has reached the point of death and death, and the ground is full of human and horse corpses, and some The Lord's horse ran around the battlefield.

Although the two armies are fighting head-on, the front has always been turbulent. In the cavalry battle, the army does not stand still, but rushes back and forth, intertwined vertically and horizontally.

After a long time, the speed of the yellow dust running around in the Liao army slowed down... It seems that Shi Yanchao is no longer good, no matter how fierce he is, once he is besieged and cannot move, he will undoubtedly die.

Xiang Xun also found signs, and specifically asked Guo Shao back: "Guo Lang thinks the time has come?"

"Please decide to the general!" Guo Shao clasped his fist.

At this time, Xiang Xuncai looked back and forth: "All horsemen, let me play!"

"De Ling!" "De Ling!"

Guo Shao finally turned around, took a condescending look at the scene of the battlefield, then mounted his horse and followed Xiangxun down the hillside. A general yelled: "The cavalry mounts, ready to attack!"

The generals rode horses across the horse teams, yelling to boost morale, and issuing various military orders.

After a short while, the sound of horses' hoofs sounded in a film, and hundreds of elite cavalry soldiers dispatched at the same time, and the horses gradually accelerated from small steps, and then jogged to the battlefield.

Getting closer, Xiang Xun stretched out his hand and drew his sword, raising it high. The army levelled the spears and sabers they were carrying. "Whhhhhh..." There was another metal sound of swords unsheathed, like a music without melody, rough and simple but full of enthusiasm.
