Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"Boom, boom..." The sound of artillery sounded in the distance, and Guo Shao turned his head and watched for a while. An artillery formation on the other side of the city wall seemed to be bombarding the Liao army, but it was obviously useless. A stone lump from a mile away was thrown over, with almost no accuracy, hitting a pit on the ground, completely ineffective to the cavalry. The horse can't be frightened, the distance is too far; the shelling movement hundreds of steps away is no bigger than the blasting drums nearby.

Guo Shao looked at the situation from a distance, and the infantry phalanx on the periphery of the Chinese army's row seemed to have begun to push back.

The Liao army’s attack on the battalion obviously failed to defeat the Zhou army’s central infantry battle formation that had been prepared; however, Guo Shao did not return hope for the results of the Zhou army’s counterattack. The Liao army is fast; first, it must maintain the phalanx defense, and then mainly rely on bows and arrows to attack the cavalry in the range. Although the Huben Army mounted infantry had mobility, it was not easy to beat the Liao Army in horse warfare. It was just a temporary emergency reserve team when the Youzhou Zhou Army lacked mobility.

So far, Guo Shao feels that this battle is very passive.

Since the Liao Army unexpectedly took the lead in launching the offensive, all deployments seemed to be passively coping... Not only Guo Shao, but also many civil and military personnel including Wang Pu did not expect the Liao Army to take the risk!

After Zhou Jun learned of the situation, although he adopted an active defense strategy, he still couldn't get rid of his passiveness.

Now Guo Shao can only hope that Han Tong left the road to block the west in time, and Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan vacated his hand to copy from the east, forming a siege to the Liao army outside Youzhou City... but the Zhou army infantry in Youzhou could not count on it. , Even if you defeated the Liao army's offensive at this time, what is the use of not catching up?

At this moment, the battlefield was dusty and chaotic. When Guo Shao thought of the overall situation in his mind, it was also a mess, as if countless threads were interspersed and entangled.

Countless preparations beforehand, under the sudden changes of the situation at this time, are messy; it seems that there are omissions everywhere, and there are uncertain risks everywhere.

Guo Shao turned his head and glanced at Wang Pu on the horseback beside him, and couldn't help but solemnly said: "I suddenly felt that Wang Zhang's words made sense. We are using cavalry as infantry. The tactics of the Liao army are similar to those in the interior. It’s different from country to country."

Wang Pu frowned and agreed casually with a serious face.

At this time, a cavalry with a flag on his back ran to the Chinese military camp, rolled over and dismounted, then ran over and knelt on one knee and said: "Report! The Liao army has stopped the offensive, and the large group is going north!"

Guo Shaodao: "Send an order to Yang Biao, don't go ahead."

As for the various infantry soldiers, Guo Shao ignored... they couldn't keep up even if they wanted to advance.

Soon Guo Shao learned that the order just now was unnecessary. A military commander was reporting, and the horse infantry of Yang Biao's Tiger Cardinal Army attempted to attack the flank of the Liao Army in the northeast, but they were attacked by the Liao Army, and half of them were defeated!

At this moment, a group of horsemen came to the camp gate in a mess. The general guarding outside the Chinese military camp shouted and asked, and a voice from far away said: "Gong Yang is back!"

The horse soldiers stepped aside, and saw a man with arrows all over his body like a hedgehog on the horse, supported on both sides and walked over. That "hedgehog" bowed his head, not who Yang Biao was!

Seeing Yang Biao's appearance, Guo Shao suddenly felt a "buzz" in his brain, and hurriedly rushed towards him.

Yang Biao was covered with arrows, and his blood was blurry in his broken armor...Can he live?

"Yang Biao!" Guo Shao got off his horse and stared at him, his voice changed, "Second brother..."

The army was silent. Unexpectedly, two people came over from behind carrying a chopping board, Luo Mengzi lying on his back...

Guo Shao turned around and stared at Luo Mengzi lying down, tremblingly: "Is he hurt?"

A general lowered his head and said, "General Luo has been... killed in battle."

Guo Shao walked to the cutting board, and saw the blood on Luo Mengzi's face and didn't move. Where is the slightest movement of life?

Guo Shao stretched out his palm, trying to touch Luo Mengzi's face, his palm touched his nose, and he could no longer feel any heat. That breathless coolness suddenly penetrated Guo Shao's palm!

Guo Shao's hand froze there, and gradually began to tremble. Yang Biao was shot in such a way that life and death was difficult to tell, Luo Mengzi had completely become a dead corpse... Guo Shao had many generals in his hands, and many of them were stronger than the two brothers; but no one could replace them.

In this world, people meet and get acquainted with each other at various times for various reasons, but brothers who treat each other with heart when they are in despair and after countless life and death trials are not so easy to get after all. .

Lonely, Guo Shao suddenly felt that an inexplicable loneliness was coming.

Self-blame, regrets later came to my heart. At this time, Guo Shao suddenly realized that there were many deployment issues in this battle. He lost the initiative but failed to produce serious consequences. The biggest mistake... was to let the Tiger and Cardia Army mount infantry and attack the elite cavalry of the Liao Army! The horse infantry of the Tiger and Ben Army is fashionable and can be used as a cavalry in the army of Shu and Nantang, but in order to be mobile, it is obviously a big mistake to fight with the fine cavalry of the Liao army!

The most serious decisions are often covered in too many trade-offs and tedious matters.

The blue veins on Guo Shao's forehead were stretched. He clenched his fists and his eyes were shining, but he finally gritted his teeth and didn't let the tears come out, but he felt a salty stream of heat in his throat.

He suddenly felt that the world seemed to be shaking, and he staggered under his feet.

"Your Majesty..." The ministers hurriedly supported.

The first few military commanders all bowed to the ground: "The final general deserves to die!"

Guo Shao looked back at Yang Biao, who was like a hedgehog, walked in front of him and grabbed his hand, but received no response. Wang Pu hurriedly said: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and take General Yang down for treatment. We must save him!"

"Yes!"

Guo Shao looked at Yang Biao who was sitting right away and was moved away.

Wang Pu hurriedly persuaded: "Wait for Han Tong and Li Chuyun to encircle, destroy the South Road Liao army, and avenge General Luo!"

...

This time, the Liao army went to war for the Emperor of Zhou and gave up his life to rush to the camp of the Zhou army. The casualties were not small; however, the Zhou army also suffered a lot of battle losses. Many wounded soldiers were carried into the healing camp by the Sanggan River. The doctors, miscellaneous soldiers, and civil servants were busy.

Surgical treatment at this time is naturally very backward, but the doctor will also have a lot of methods to treat trauma. In the Guan Gong era, he would scrape the bone to heal the injury, and the splint for the fracture is also one... But the most useful is to clean the wound in time and use herbal medicine. Simple disinfection. This simplest treatment can also prevent many deaths from traumatic infections.

Xu Erniang and some local women washed the cloth by the river and then boiled them in a pot.

At this time, another group of wounded soldiers were brought in. Xu Erniang immediately dropped the wet cloth in her hand, ran over to see someone and asked, "Do you know Zhao Hu? Zhao Hu of the Tiger Army's Shenhuo Capital...Who knows Zhao Hu?"

At this moment, a soldier lying on the plank turned his head and said, "I don't know Zhao Hu, but I have seen the Shenhuo. They have firearms, which are very different."

Xu Erniang rushed over and asked urgently: "Did you win? Did Shenhuo win..."

The soldier said: "The Great Zhou Army, it is considered to have won, anyway, the Liao Army was beaten back. However, the Shenhuo is a bit miserable. They set fire in front of the long spear phalanx, and they only have to resist the carbine to protect... If we can afford to repair the fortifications, besides, we have no time to get out of the barracks and line up.

The horse soldiers of the Liao Army rushed up in spite of their lives. As soon as the fire bludgeon was released, it was almost like a fire stick. The Shenhuo collapsed immediately. It is estimated that more than half of the deaths and injuries were reported. I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, I was in the first row behind Shenhuodu, otherwise why would I lie down and come back..."

As he was talking, someone said: "I know Zhao Hu."

Xu Erniang followed the reputation, and the speaker was a man who had just entered the camp and carried the wounded soldier. The man asked again, "Who are you Zhao Hu?"

Xu Erniang couldn't take much care of it, and immediately said: "I am him... lady!"

The man frowned and greeted a civilian man who came up to pick him up. He stepped to the side of the road and said, "Zhao Hu is dead."

"Dead?" Xu Erniang was stunned, staring at the strange man in front of him blankly.

The man nodded and said: "Yes, it's dead. I am a soldier of Shenhuodu. I saw him dead and his body was lifted... I was just a soldier. At the end of Shenhuodu, all the soldiers and horses collapsed at that time. Yes, I naturally want to run."

Xu Erniang was at a loss, and she didn't know where she was. She only felt that she had no strength to speak, and she shook her head and said, "I don't believe it."

The man rubbed his palms, frowned and said, "I am a soldier of Shenhuodu, what can I do to deceive my fellow brother's wife? My sister-in-law will be sorrowful and change." His tone did not fluctuate too much, and he might see too many dead people. To him, the tiger is no different from other soldiers who died in battle.

Xu Erniang bit her lip hard, almost biting blood, she choked up and said: "Where is he? I have to see it with my own eyes to believe..."

The man looked back around and pointed to: "The dead people on the camp over www.readwn.com are there. The corpse will be sent back to China... My sister-in-law will come with me, and I will take you there."

Xu Erniang hobbled, silently following the sergeant along the side of the road. There were people pushing carts or carrying wounded soldiers on the road. She couldn't remember exactly how she got to the camp where the dead body was released.

Walking in, it seems to have walked into the Yan Luo Temple from the world! There were many corpses on the ground inside, everywhere at first glance; there were also many coffins stacked. In addition to the dead, there are many living people, some of them are soldiers in armor, and most of them are civil servants. They are busy stripping armor from the dead, washing their bodies, and applying lime.

The soldier in front suddenly asked: "Sister-in-law really wants to see it now? I think it's better to wait and see..."

"Why?" Xu Erniang asked blankly.

Junhan didn't answer, and didn't ask more. He looked around and finally walked to a place, standing in front of a corpse on a wooden frame.

Xu Erniang walked up to take a look, and immediately knelt down on the ground, covering her face with her hands, tears bursting out of her eyes.
