Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

>,!

"Hey!" The wooden ladder pressed against the wooden stakes on the wall. A sergeant Zhou hurried up and lifted it. Unexpectedly, with a "swish" arrow hit his front door, the soldier went to lift the ladder and the center of gravity was in front. , The rate will go down from the wall when the body is soft.

At this time, a row of soldiers from the Zhou army took up crossbows and walked forward. He heard the yelling of "release", "Cracking..." The enemy soldiers gathered under the wall suddenly screamed; the pile of people was at most ten paces apart and took the stone. It can also hit.

Listening to the military order, the back row came forward, picked up the firearm and blasted it underneath again, causing smoke to rise on the wall. Arrows flew around the head, clanging on the shoulder armor of the helmet, and occasionally injured people.

The Liao army under the city dropped the wooden ladder and ran around, jumping straight into the ditch. The two men who had just climbed a few steps looked back and hurriedly jumped down to run. Unexpectedly, they had just run a few steps, and they encountered the replaced crossbowmen. All the crossbows were shot at the backs of those two men. Two enemy soldiers. He fell to the ground with several crossbows stuck in his back.

The Sergeant Zhou on the wall was busy with the gunpowder and lead bullets on the ground, and the bolts of the crossbow rattle. After training for a few months, he went to the battlefield of the Southern Han Dynasty to fight again. As long as he had been in the battlefield, the performance of the soldiers of the township army was very different and much quicker. Moreover, everyone was on the wall, and it was useless to martial arts beyond the reach of the Liao army. In the eyes of the generals of the Zhou army, it was similar to a target.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the roar of horseshoes in the noise. Yu Liang looked back, and saw a sparkle of fire in the distance behind him, like stars in the sky. Reinforcements of the imperial army horse brigade stationed in Jinzhou came up.

The Liao sergeant climbed up the ditch desperately, and the cavalry behind had turned around and retreated.

...Dong Zunzuo led three thousand riders from Jinzhou to the west overnight, traveling north along the Sanggan River to the west of Jinzhou, traveling for half an hour, and then outlining eastward. After half an hour, the sky was already light. It was a little bit of fire ahead.

Dong Zunzuo ordered the whole army to throw away the torch, and led the army to rush forward. It is impossible for the Liao army to attack too many people at night, otherwise the action is too slow and the target is too big to sneak attack.

The mainstream horse group of the Liao Army moved north, and Dong Zunzuo headed east. The horse was galloping and quickly moved closer, Dong Zunjiao, without saying anything, slammed his bow and arrow, and banged an arrow at a torch. Sure enough, a scream came from a distance.

Zhou Jun's horses rushed eastward, and the black horses swept around like a torrent. "Bang Bang..." Ma Xi and others screamed from behind Dong Zunjiao. The forward of the Liao army slammed into the flank of the Zhou army, and the middle road was suddenly messed up.

Dong Zunzuo then turned his horse's head and took the forward to round to the right flank of the Liao Army, and charged in the opposite direction and shot sideways. Among the turbulent horses, the arrows were like locusts, and the shouts shook the world.

The front of the Liao Army was blocked, and the troops behind were roundabout to the right flank, because the left flank was all the horses of Zhou from the west. On the right wing, there were Dong Zunhao's soldiers and the men who went round and round to the south, and the two armies fought hard. The strength of the Liao army was obviously less than that of the Zhou army. In the vortex of horses, the crowded side had more arrows and fluttering arrows. The Liao army suffered heavy casualties.

At this moment, Dong Zunjiao heard someone yelling, and he saw a messenger rushing towards the banner here, shouting: "The large Liao army in the north should respond!"

Dong Zunhao immediately ordered: "Blow the whistle! Withdraw!"

There were bronze whistles in Mali, the soldiers of Zhou, and the horses and soldiers circled southwest while fighting. Dong Zunhao ran out for a long time, and when he looked back, there was a black line on the horizon, with finely ups and downs in the middle... it was the shadow of a large group of people.

After dawn, the Liao army did not continue to attack Jinzhou; Zhou army also did not take the initiative to attack. The brief one-night fight soon ceased.

...

In the Xiongzhou Palace, the military commander Lu Chengyong led Wei Renpu and Zuoyou hurriedly into the courtyard to a hall. Lu Chengyong worshipped: "You two wait a minute, your majesty will be there later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Guo Shao coming in from the side door. He was wearing a round-necked robe without a hat.

Wei Renpu said: "Your Majesty, last night the Liao army attacked the Jinzhou fortress. Dong Zunjiao reportedly killed more than 300 enemies, repelled the Liao army and won the battle."

Guo Shao looked happy after hearing this. Although the gains were not big, the victory in the battle was a good sign! When people are under extra pressure, sometimes they really believe in these mysterious things... Anyway, it doesn't hurt to believe, and most people in the world should believe in gods like this, whether ancient or modern.

After a while, Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "The Liao army should be probing and harassing. It is impossible for them to overwhelm an army of hundreds of thousands as soon as they come."

Wei Renpu said: "After Dong Zun told the police, he took the initiative to outflank the Liao army and almost wiped out all of the Liao army. Dong Zunzuo was forced to retreat when the large Liao army in the rear responded."

"Oh? I didn't let him attack like this..." Guo Shao said, "Send someone to reward Dong Zunzuo."

Wei Renpu said: "Comply with the decree."

Guo Shao took a few steps and couldn't help but think more about Dong Zunzuo. According to his previous performance, this young military commander is more obedient to military orders, and probably always serves under the command of the general; this time the imperial cavalry who is solely responsible for Jinzhou, has shown his bold side... People like Li Chuyun are generally cautious.

Wei Renpu said: "Let’s stick to the line of defense, the Liao army will start from Jinzhou? Once winter is over, the Jinzhou waterway can go straight to the confluence of Wenyu River and Sanggan River. Jinzhou should be an important base for this service."

Without comment, Guo Shao walked to the chair above, sat down casually, and looked at the map on it for a long time without speaking.

He picked up the ruler and measured it on the graph, pinched a scale on it with his thumb, and measured it in another place, doing some trivial movements. Wei Renpu and Zuo You stood below, and they didn't say a word.

Guo Shao groaned: "If I were to attack this line of defense, Jinzhou would not be easy to fight. With the new city in the west and Xiongzhou in the south, the Great Zhou army can quickly gather most of the troops to fight the Liao army."

Wei Renpu said: "My great soldiers from all over the country gathered in Hebei~www.readwn.com~ If the Liao army is really willing to take the initiative to fight with me, we are not afraid of it."

Guo Shao nodded and said, "That's it. The Zhou army has two or three hundred thousand horses, more than twice that of the Liao army. If you can pick open a decisive battle, I am afraid that he will do? Attacked."

He changed the conversation and said: "But the main force of the Liao army is mainly cavalry. If Zhou Jun wants to take the initiative, he can move the cavalry; but fighting the cavalry, we are not the opponent of the Liao army...I think they Will not fight us decisively."

Guo Shao took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "Don't move the strategy for the time being, and let the ministries deploy according to the original strategy; The soldier Cao Si will immediately report to me the news of the secret posts in Youzhou...Where is the main force of the Liao army deployed now?"

Wei Renpu and Zuo You looked at each other, and the two continued: "The Liao army first arrived, but the officials don't know it for the time being. They should be near Youzhou City."

"Youzhou is not far from Xiongzhou. Even if the winter season, the homing pigeons should fly back." Guo Shao thought. He paced a few steps and said, "Pick a general to Jinzhou to replace Dong Zun's military power and call Dong Zun's back to Xiongzhou."
