Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Guo Shao looked at the north in the morning light and thought silently: Noble queen, beautiful Fu Jinzhan, I will not let you down.

The morning light dispelled the mist, and the rising sun brought warmth to the earth; just like the excitement in Guo Shao's heart at the moment, he wanted to praise all of this. It is the sun that makes life, and it is the fragile life that makes the earth vibrant and enchanting. Although they are short-lived and fragile, they try their best to bloom beautifully every moment.

He turned his head and said to the generals beside him: "Wars will kill many people, but ancient history is a history of wars. Human beings have learned wars as soon as they know how to use stone tools. There will be no real peace without experiencing wars!"

After hearing this, Yang Biao replied: "Being a soldier eats food and works hard, that's all."

Guo Shao: "..."

Low-mouthed Yang Biao, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!

Outside the city of Haozhou (now Linhuaiguan Town, Fengyang County, Anhui Province), a whole row of soldiers held the horns and puffed up their cheeks. "Woo..." The vigorous sound of the horn tore through the sky. "Dong dong dong..." In front of the erected drum, a big man desperately swung his double hammers to hit the drum surface.

A hovering eagle in the sky was startled, and charged into the deep space far away.

"Shua!" Luo Yanhuan on the east side of the city drew out his sword and raised it to mid-air. A square flag embroidered with a tiger in front slowly tilted forward, parallel to the ground. The tiger on the flag was flattened and swayed in the wind, immediately like a tiger lying on the ground, ready to jump up at any time, "Ow!" There seemed to be a roar looming in the noise.

"Zhou's army will win!" A loud shout kicked off the prelude to the attack.

Thousands of people shouted, the sound resounded through the sky, shaking mountains and rivers. The pervasive crowd, armored vehicles, battering rams, ladders, and bed crossbows slowly rushed towards the city wall, like a flood, like a sea tide!

Luo Yanhuan held the hilt of the sword nervously, and touched the shoulder scarf around his neck with one hand. There were actually flower petals embroidered on the red silk, which was made by Mrs. Luo.

I have been impoverished for many years, and now I have been promoted to the capital of the army and concurrently the governor, and I can get a good salary when I return to Beijing. My wife and concubine will definitely say that Alang is amazing! Luo Yanhuan's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth, hoping to survive this battle. Together with countless people, he walked through the mist and walked towards the gate of Haozhou City with his back facing the dawn.

... Haozhou was filled with thick smoke and flames shot up into the sky, and arrows rained down like rain. The rockets flying in the sky are like groups of fireflies.

Emperor Chai Rong led a team of civil and military officials and elite riders to gallop around the perimeter, watching the situation, and there were attacking men and horses everywhere. People say that Guo Shao is merciful and merciless, and if he attacked the city across the board in such a large area, how could thousands of people not die in a day? If it consumes so much every day, half a month of Tiger Jiejun will be wiped out!

However, Chai Rong did not intend to interfere with how Guo Shao attacked the city, but just watched.

At this time, he turned his head and pointed at the Zhou army's warships gathered in the north of the city, and said: "Command Han Tong to move the catapult to the boat and hit the water gate to reinforce the Hujie army to attack the city."

"Follow the order!"

As soon as the words were finished, suddenly a fast horse galloped up and shouted: "Zhou Jun has won a big victory, Hu Jie's left side captured Dongmen Yuecheng!"

Everyone was astonished when they heard this, Wei Renpu sighed: "The door was broken in less than an hour? Isn't Haozhou guarded by Chai Kehong?"

Chai Rong laughed "haha", looked around and said: "Guo Shao is really effective in breaking the city, why not call him Guo Breaking the city! Let's go, I will go to the East Gate Moon City to reward the soldiers in person."

The soldiers laughed.

The minister couldn't persuade him, so Chai Rong brought his troops to the front line in person. When I went up to the tower of Yuecheng, I saw that the upper and lower walls of the city were full of people, and the smoke and arrows hit the soldiers. They were all elite soldiers from the left wing of the Hujie Army... It is really rare to attack the city directly with elite soldiers.

When Guo Shao heard about it, he came to the city to see him. He said excitedly: "The Tang army's defender Lu Mengjun and his subordinate Wang Chong mutinied when we attacked the city. The city gate was in chaos. Our troops took the opportunity to smash open the city gate with a battering hammer and rushed up to capture Yuecheng!"

"Where is Wang Chong?" Chai Rong asked.

A general of the Tang Army came up to meet him and said, "The last general kowtowed to the Emperor of Zhou! Lu Mengjun was cruel by nature and killed innocent people every day. In the past, Zhou Duan, his aide, stepped on the black yarn and yelled away. The final general was dissatisfied but endured, and waited for this day to make him look good!"

"Very good, I will reward you very much." Chai Rong said happily.

Guo Shao suddenly shouted: "The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here to look at the brothers. If you don't have to die now, when will you wait?"

All the troops shouted: "Fight for the emperor!"

The soldiers scrambled to be the first to attack the female wall at the junction of the moon city wall and the main city wall, but fierce oil was poured on it, and the fire soared into the sky. Everyone went up to put out the fire with sandbags on their backs, and the soldiers who were good at shooting shot with bows and arrows one after another.

Under the gate of the main city, soldiers of the Zhou army carried the fire oil seized from Shouzhou and poured it on the gate to burn. However, the city gate was covered with a thick layer of mud, which could not be destroyed by burning for half a day. The battering ram was pulled into the urn, "Bang! Bang!" The huge impact sounded like a drum.

The catapult was also dragged in from the gate of the urn city amidst the turbulent crowd, and the Tang army wall was in chaos. Two Tang soldiers raised a barrel of kerosene, and suddenly there was a "swish", and a rocket hit the oil barrel.

"Boom!" A large ball of fire shot up into the sky, two Tang soldiers screamed, and the oil drum fell directly on the city wall, the fire filled the air and thick smoke billowed. The soldiers of the Tang army scattered around and rushed to escape.

Soldiers of the Zhou army desperately took the stairs to climb up the female wall of the main city wall in the thick smoke.

Guo Shao saw that the Tang army was disorganized and defenseless, so he turned his head and said to one of his generals: "Chuan Zuoyou, order the cavalry of the third army to enter the Wengcheng, and prepare to attack the city!"

He bid farewell to the emperor, came to the temporary army of messengers, and issued more than a dozen military orders in a row. Zuo You was writing in a hurry, while telling his subordinates to check the font size, he kept wiping his sweat, and the expression on his face could no longer find that calm smile, he was extremely nervous. The military order was issued very slowly and cumbersomely. Only then did Guo Shao realize that this set of tools was not so easy to use... After the war, he had to learn from other generals and use the experience of this era to do as the Romans do.

Not long after, Deng Fei, a young and strong man, entered the city first. Hundreds of elite cavalry under his command surged into the urn city.

At this moment, the city gate was suddenly knocked open by a battering ram! The city gate was opened, and there were some Zhou army infantry standing inside the city gate, and they were the ones who opened the city gate. Outside, Deng Fei rode his horse and left without saying a word, leading the cavalry to rush into the city first.

There were hurried footsteps from behind, and I saw Yang Biao leading the infantry of the third army trotting forward. The troops in formation, with countless iron helmets flashing and cherry guns like a forest, were extremely majestic. The tiger flag fluttered above the crowd, and a letter was written: the third army of the left wing of the Tiger Jie Army.

According to the military order, Zhou Jun's vanguard infantry marched directly from the central avenue to the depth of the city regardless of the city wall. Almost all cities in the world that function as military strongholds have two spacious main roads in the north, south, east, and west, so that troops can be dispatched to various places unimpeded during defense.

Deng Fei's troops rushed along the avenue very smoothly, and there were more Zhou Junbu riding over from behind.

At this moment, there was a "bang" sound from the streets and alleys on both sides!

Deng Fei exclaimed that something was wrong, and sure enough, he saw burning straws and bamboo tubes emitting white smoke flying towards him. When looking at the left and right sides, the horse-drawn cart was rushed up by some soldiers, and a moment later, a fire ignited on the cart and thick smoke billowed. A group of Tang soldiers rushed to kill from both sides.

"Kill!" Deng Fei yelled, and led his army to fight. At this time, the street was filled with white smoke and thick smoke was everywhere. The soldiers kept coughing and couldn't distinguish things.

The shouts of killing on both sides covered the waves one after another, and I don't know how many Tang soldiers rushed from all directions. Everyone was fighting on the road and couldn't see anything.

At this moment, suddenly a man on horseback shouted while running: "We are in ambush! Marshal Guo ordered the whole army to retreat!"

Deng Fei rode his horse and followed the voice, and shouted, "Where's the military order?"

The man on horseback said: "The battle is critical, Marshal Guo is only sending orders to the future."

"Our military name!" Deng Fei raised the cherry gun in his hand, and kicked the horse's belly at the same time. Seeing this, the man turned around and wanted to run, but he was a step slower. Deng Fei's horse had already sped up, came up and stabbed him in the vest. The man screamed and fell to the ground from his horse.

Deng Fei yelled: "The enemy's plan to divide people is falsely passing on military orders! Tell the army envoys to ignore everything and kill anyone they see!"

... Xiangdu school Qi Tuo led the army and the first army Wang Zhang's troops rushed into the city together. A large group of people marched along the street to the left flank, and they were also ambushed. Some Tang Army cavalry pretended to be Zhou Jun taking advantage of the smoke and shouted to spread rumors. Some soldiers panicked and retreated in large numbers, and met the rear army again, causing confusion.

The Tang army's elite soldiers rushed out, Qi Tuo and other troops were separated from the main force, and were besieged by ambushes from the front, back, left, and right. Seeing this, Qi Tuo was in a hurry, and led the crowd to rush forward. Seeing that he didn't run away, the people around him also fought desperately.

Qi Tuo was standing in the army, and he survived more than ten arrows in a row, and then sent an order: "Everyone should hold together and fight to the death without retreating!"

Guo Shao came to the main gate of the east gate and mobilized troops to guard the gate. The generals shouted: "Anyone who retreats to the gate of the former army will be killed immediately!"

At this time, there were fires everywhere in the city, thick smoke billowed into chaos, shouts of killing and screams came and went one after another. Regardless of the military chaos, Guo Shao continued to mobilize elite soldiers from the left wing of the Hujie Army to enter the city first, and then let the soldiers from the towns follow. A general stood on the wall and shouted: "If you can't find the top person after entering the city, you can fight on your own. The generals at all levels will make decisions immediately, and they will die in Haozhou City!"

Some civilians escaped from the fire, but were immediately shot, killed and trampled by the rebels. The situation was terrible. Tens of thousands of elite tiger and cavalry soldiers entered the city from the east gate one after another. "Crack, click, click..." A large number of infantry passed through the city gate like a torrent of black steel, and the sound of orderly footsteps, drums and horns merged with the chaotic scene ahead.

Guo Shao turned to Luo Mengzi and said, "Go to Zuo You and ask him to send three military orders in succession, ordering Qi Tingyi (Qi Tuo) and Wang Zhang on the left wing to open the south gate at all costs, so that Gao Huaide's troops can enter the city!"

The whole city of Haozhou groaned and trembled under the flames of war and iron cavalry!
