Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

It was getting dark. Xiang Xunjun fought hard, but his strength was limited. In the early stage, he bravely penetrated into the enemy's formation, and soon he was unable to charge. Some of the cavalry galloped back and forth looking for weak gaps in the formation, and more people were entangled in the melee by the Liao army, and most of the capable troops couldn't get away.

At this moment, Xiang Xun suddenly heard shouting: "Shi Yanchao is in front, who is going to rescue?"

Guo Shao and others fought on foot while keeping up with the cavalry. They were in a low position and could not see Shi Yanchao. But looking in the direction pointed to by Xiang Xun, I saw a large group of Liao cavalry very densely packed, so dense that it was unimaginable... Horse soldiers need to maneuver, and they are easy to collide with each other if they are faster, so there is usually a large gap between horses;

At that time, one of Xiang Xun's generals led his troops to rush forward, and there were only a few dozen cavalry in all. This was already most of the cavalry that Xiang Xun could mobilize. The general took the lead and charged forward, trying to squeeze away the stationary cavalry of the Liao soldiers; but as soon as he approached, several spears stabbed at him.

Then another Zhou army knight followed the general. Seeing that the people in front had been hacked so badly that they were bloody, they reined in their horses and turned around in horror. Unexpectedly, he was still stabbed in the abdomen with a knife, and was rushed horizontally by the galloping horse. The long knife pierced into the abdomen immediately tore the wound again. "Ah!" The knight's scream was very terrifying. After falling from the horse, he couldn't die immediately, so he lay on the ground and opened his mouth to cry.

His hand covering his abdomen immediately turned dark red, and a section of intestine flowed out, the scene was very horrific.

The cavalry of the Zhou army behind rushed to the front of the Liao army to fight a few times, and then rode their horses back, rushing back and forth, completely unable to break through the siege.

Yang Biao here waited and watched for a while, then turned to Guo Shao and said, "Let's go make a move and let General Xiang's cavalry reinforce in time!"

Guo Shao stretched his neck to wait and see, only to see Zhang Jianxiong still beside Xiang Xun. This Jianxiong is really a fierce general. He rescued Shi Yanchao for the first time before, and he solved it with one blow. If he was not fierce, it would be difficult to do it... because the cavalry of the Liao army is already strong enough. This fierce battle is almost the strongest and most durable ancient army that Guo Shao has encountered since he joined the army.

"Be safe and don't be impatient, wait for Zhang Jianxiong to go first." Guo Shao said.

Xiang Xun participated in the battle regardless of the cost and his life, and his tactical goal was to rescue Shi Yanchao; now that the besieged Shi Yanchao is right in front of him, it is impossible for him not to do his best to make the last effort!

Sure enough, as Guo Shao expected, after a while, Xiang Xun ordered: "Zhang Jianxiong, break through the Liao formation in front immediately, if you fail, come and see me!"

"Decree!" Zhang Jianxiong called to the only cavalry soldiers around him to turn around and rush forward. At this time, Xiang Xun's troops are already weak, if a small force of the Liao army can break into the center of Xiang Xun's headquarters at this moment, the general will be in danger!

Zhang Jianxiong jumped on his horse and shouted: "The deadline has come, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent! Attack with all your strength!"

The solemn and passionate roar made Zhang Jianxiong's image at the moment very dazzling, and the courage of the army doubled, and the army's spirit gathered on him, and he immediately became the champion of the three armies!

Zhang Jianxiong used the most elite small number of elite soldiers as the leading edge, and he took the lead in the middle. He rode his horse and charged, with only twenty or thirty cavalry behind him. The cavalry of the Liao people was densely arranged, and their spears were like a forest to resist; Zhang Jianxiong's forward charged at a high speed in the first wave and approached, until the horses in front of the formation instinctively slowed down, but the forward charge was too fast and could not be stopped, and a heavy horse rode straight into it.

There was only a long shout, and there was a loud "bang" in the chaos. I don't know what Zhang Jianxiong's saber slashed at something, and sparks were clearly seen shining in the fading light. Its powerful and violent sound made Guo Shao think of the force of the stonemason hitting the stone with a hammer of dozens of kilograms... It is said that the stonemason roared the most fiercely to prevent internal injuries caused by too much vibration.

The people in front turned their backs on their backs, jingling, clanging, clanging and clanging into a mass, the cavalry formation of the Liao army loosened and fell apart, and the cavalry soldiers ran around indiscriminately.

Seeing this, Guo Shao yelled, "It's time for us to go!"

As soon as the words fell, and before he had time to give an order, Yang Biao raised his knife and strode forward. Guo Shao and others hurriedly followed up with weapons to protect his flanks. Yang Biao marched forward bravely, his iron shoes stepped heavily on the ground, splashing dust with every step, like a locomotive smoking.

This regiment of Liao cavalry had no mobility, it was similar to the infantry, but they sat higher than the infantry, and Zhang Jianxiong's formation had been disrupted, so they couldn't look at each other. Yang Biao rushed up and started killing anyone he saw. The loud sound of the swords and soldiers hitting the iron armor made people's ears buzz.

A Liao soldier was knocked off his horse, and just about to get up, he was immediately greeted by the follow-up infantry who stabbed him randomly. Before he could parry, he was stabbed with blood everywhere, screaming incessantly. Everyone stared at the other cavalry who was approaching from the flank and swarmed up again. The Liao cavalry swung a knife sideways and slashed at the spear that was stabbed, but was stabbed several times in an instant, leaving blood on both men and horses.

Yang Biao's eyes were red with blood, and he rushed to kill regardless of his own safety. Guo Shao shouted at Luo Mengzi to protect his flanks with shields and hammers, and he also played by ear to cover his flanks. There is a fierce general who charges like a sharp knife, so Guo Shao doesn't have to go all out, and he is not good at long weapons such as spears and horse-cutting knives.

Guo Shao and Yang Biao fought from Gaoping to Jinyang, fought fiercely with their lives several times, and the cooperation was already very tacit... Yang Biao took the lead and suppressed the scene with violence and power. And Guo Shao’s strength is his good insight into the situation. When Yang Biao was in the most danger, he was always able to strike in time, and it was often the case that he was too slow to do something bad. His ability probably came from long-term practice of bow and arrow, because accurate bow and arrow shooting requires good observation, especially for moving objects, not only to observe its movements, but also to guess and understand its motives.

After a while, Guo Shao and Yang Biao took the lead in breaking into the encirclement. Looking up, he saw a circle of corpses inside, including those of Liao soldiers and Zhou soldiers, and many horse corpses. In one place, they were piled up and almost became a crude fortification, with a pool of blood on the ground. Guo Shao thinks he went to the wrong place and entered the slaughterhouse by mistake!

Shi Yanchao and dozens of wounded people fought to the death inside. All the horses were gone, and they were surrounded to death by Liao soldiers. Under the violent beating and shooting by the Liao soldiers, Shi Yanchao saw many people falling to his left and right in a short while, the situation has reached a critical moment. The Liao people probably already knew that this guy was Shi Yanchao, and they simply wanted to kill him at any cost... The personal soldiers of the first fierce general are really not that easy to do, seeing them is really miserable!

The strangest thing was Shi Yanchao himself. This guy was the tallest and most conspicuous, with arrow feathers all over his body, especially his back, which looked no different from a hedgehog. What's even more strange is that this fellow is not dead yet! Liao soldiers are proficient in bows and horses, but they didn't kill him after shooting so many arrows... It can be seen that Guo Shao shoots Zhang Yuanhui's precise arrow method, which is rare in the world; perhaps this thing not only requires hard training, but also talent.

The Liao army here does not have "brother Shao", so Shi Yanchao can stand there.

Guo Shao really had never seen a person shot like this since his mother's womb... I don't know, I thought he was Shi Yanchao playing straw boat borrowing arrows! It wasn't for borrowing arrows, how could he hit so many shots?

"Shi Qianfeng!" Guo Shao shouted.

Shi Yanchao looked back at him and finally recognized Zhou Bingyoujun. A moment later, Zhang Jianxiong also tore apart the Liao formation, leading his cavalry to charge in.

Once the siege was broken, Shi Yanchao was not stupid, he hurriedly ran towards this side with his sword in hand, with a few more arrows on his back halfway. Those personal soldiers could not run much, and most of them were so injured that they could only hang on their breath. As soon as Shi Yanchao left, the formation shook, and the Liao cavalry swarmed up and quickly divided, screaming from behind.

A group of people converged all the way, turned around and fled, Liao cavalry pursued them, and met Xiang Xun and his cavalry to meet them again, the situation eased slightly.

At this time, Guo Shao discovered that Xiangxun's ministries had shrunk and concentrated from the surrounding areas, and nearly half of the troops had been lost in battle, so there was even less room for movement. Looking back, Liao army reinforcements were received in the south, and all the troops that Xiang Xun came to rescue were also trapped in a large encirclement.

The reinforcements of the Liao army reserve team even beat the right wing of the main force of Shi Yanchao's department, which was fighting head-on, into chaos, and Shi Yanchao's department almost collapsed across the board. Under such a bad battle situation, they didn't disperse in a herd, probably because they felt that Shi Yanchao was not dead yet, and they placed their hopes on reinforcements.

Fortunately, it was completely dark in a short while, and the sky was full of stars but there was no moon. The troops fighting in front had no chance to light their torches, and the light was extremely dim. Guo Shao and others found their mounts, followed Xiang Xun's soldiers and horses to take advantage of the chaos, and finally rushed out of the Liao formation with the surviving fine horses. Nearly 400 cavalry of Xiang Xun's cavalry have now lost more than half. After Shi Yanchao's main force was defeated by the right wing, he fled across the board and was rushed and killed by the Liao army, making a mess.

The rebels fled south together, and soon encountered the infantry arrayed behind. The light was dim, and the sight was unclear. The retreating cavalry ran wildly and rushed away the infantry battalion. The infantry first avoided their own horsemen, and then quickly dispersed and ran away.

The cavalry ran wildly in the dark night and were defeated. In one day today, Zhou Jun's Shi Yanchao's department and Xiang Xun's department lost more than 4,000 people in one day, and the number of casualties was unknown.

The only good thing is that Xiang Xun's tactical goal has been achieved anyway, and Shi Yanchao, who is half alive, is finally rescued.

Everyone was silent all the way, and Guo Shao didn't want to say a word. He felt exhausted all over his body. If it wasn't for the chasing soldiers behind him trying to catch his breath, he would now lie down on the side of the road.

At this moment, the hedgehog Shi Yanchao suddenly turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

"Guo Shao." He didn't want to say a word, including which army he belonged to. But after thinking about it, he still said: "Although we were the first to break through the siege, the person Shi Qianfeng should be grateful to is General Zhang Jianxiong."

Zhang Jianxiong was not far away, so he let out a "hum".
