Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 142: Long Hair in the Wind

"Rumbling..." The sound of horseshoes sounded in all directions. Madam Gao was only a few dozen steps away. A Khitan soldier jumped off the horse in front of her, hugged her waist roughly, and lifted her up with one hand. "Ah!" Mrs. Gao screamed miserably and desperately, she raised her head to look at Guo Shao, her expression was full of pleading. Her hair is disheveled, her clothes are disheveled, her white and plump breasts and the skin of her legs are exposed, she looks messy as if she has just been raped|raped... I don’t know what kind of treatment she will suffer if she is taken back.

The nearest twenty or thirty Liao cavalry spread out, and they were outflanking, and a dense cavalry drove in far from the north. The situation seemed very critical. If Guo Shao and the others didn't get out immediately, they would most likely be dragged back and encircled.

But here is Hebei, the basic plate of "China" since ancient times. The elder sister of a high-ranking military general of the dynasty would be wantonly humiliated in his own land, and under Guo Shao's eyes... This made Guo Shao feel an unbearable sense of shame. This kind of thing can be tolerated, if in the future foreigners rushed to the capital to arrest the female family members of the royal family officials according to the roster, and abused them on the grassland, would they also be able to endure it?

"My lord!" The soldiers around him shouted anxiously.

A fierce tiger on the banner of the Hujie Army roared faintly in Guo Shao's heart. Guo Shao's eyes widened, and he observed and judged the distance of Liao Qi for a short time. Suddenly, while reining in his horse, one side of his body fell off the horse, and he rolled on the ground and got up.

His fingers touched the arrows in the quiver... Crack! An arrow flew away, and there was an arrow on the temple of Liao Bing, who was holding Gao Shi by the waist. Gao Shi's side face was spattered with blood, and he fell to the ground. He got up and ran to this side, crying, "Help me! General save me..."

Guo Shao ignored her, took a deep breath, and became more calm, "Crack!" Another Liao Qi was directly shot in the head with an arrow on dozens of steps, without even making a sound.

Seeing this, another rider turned his horse's head and wanted to run away, suddenly several strings sounded at the same time, the Liao soldier was hit by two arrows in a row, screaming and falling off his horse. When Guo Shao turned his head, a group of brothers reined in their horses, and several soldiers dismounted and shot at foot.

At this time, Guo Shao had stepped on the stirrup with one foot, slapped his flatter's butt with his palm, and galloped towards Gao Shi. I saw that although Gao's face was pale from the cold and half of his face was covered with blood, she was a beautiful woman with dignified features and quite a charm. No wonder she looked at least in her thirties and was snatched by Liao army generals. She also ran towards Guo Shao in panic, because Guo Shao and others not only spoke Chinese, but also dressed in Central Plains. Her chest was heaving and trembling|moving like jelly, obviously she didn't care about etiquette...women can only pay attention to it in an orderly place, but in this kind of place where people are treated like animals, they still care about etiquette and shame.

Yang Biao and others also followed behind Guo Shao. Guo Shao was the first to rush to Gao's side. Gao's face was stained with tears, and there were bruises and wounds on his chest and neck. He looked very miserable. He stared at Guo Shao and begged, "Thank you, General. The general's life-saving grace will never be forgotten..."

"Madam Gao, we are our own people." Guo Shao only said one sentence, and hurriedly got off his horse. But his attention was not mainly on Gao Shi, but on the Liao cavalry who shot and killed two Han cavalrymen. The man was very good at archery. He shot two arrows in total, but they didn't miss.

Sure enough, the Liao cavalry had already outflanked them from the right wing. Guo Shao immediately took the arrow and stared at the direction he came from. That guy seemed to be very experienced, he didn't charge straight, but charged at Guo Shao's side obliquely, so that the target was moving laterally and was not easy to be hit.

That Liao cavalry was also very calm, approaching one after another in circles, not firing a single arrow if he didn't get within range. However, the range and accuracy of cavalry shooting could not be compared to that of infantry shooting. Guo Shao would not give him a chance to approach, so he estimated that he would draw his bow fully within a hundred steps and shoot a powerful arrow.

Snapped! Liao Qi was shot by an arrow, but he didn't die. He immediately gave up the attack and turned around to leave.

There were twenty or thirty rangers scattered around, but seeing that the situation was not right, the group of Liao cavalry dared not approach Guo Shao and the other nine people. The Liao soldiers only wandered around in the distance, waiting for the opportunity. The sound of horseshoes in the north is getting closer.

Guo Shao didn't dare to stay any longer, so he threw away the bow, went up and hugged Gao Shi without saying a word, Gao Shi screamed "ah", but didn't struggle. Guo Shao carried her directly onto the horse's back and sat horizontally, then got on the horse to protect her in his arms, and shouted: "Go!"

"Drive..." Several riders followed Guo Shao, turned around and rushed south.

Gao lowered his head, and at first he just grabbed Guo Shao's armor, but the horse bumped very badly, so he simply stretched out his arms and hugged Guo Shao's waist tightly. Guo Shao's cloak was covered with armor, and he didn't think about it, nor could he feel the woman's body. But her long hair is disheveled, and when the wind blows, it sweeps across Guo Shao's face.

"Hair! Don't block my eyes!" Guo Shao shouted, "Ah..."

He suddenly felt a weight on his back and was shot by an arrow. Looking back, the rangers around saw them running and chased after them. Snapped! Snapped! Pa... The two sides shot each other back and forth, and the sound of strings made people tremble. But most of them missed, especially the horse-returning arrows fired by Guo Shao's personal soldiers were completely missed.

"General!" Gao Shi also found that Guo Shao had been shot in the back.

"Brother, are you alright?" Yang Biao also shouted. Guo Shao said: "It may have just penetrated the armor, and the skin is traumatized, hurry up!"

A group of people ran wildly, ignoring their mounts at all, and ran towards the river at a charging speed. Fortunately, the distance was not far away. When Guo Shao arrived at the ferry, he saw that the Dingzhou military headquarters had brought a large group of cavalry soldiers. They had transported more than a dozen horsemen across the river and came to meet Guo Shao.

Guo Shao ignored them, got off his horse when he got to the river, and carried Gao from his horse. Seeing so many people, Mrs. Gao pulled the skirt of her clothes with both hands.

"Abandon the horse, let's cross the river first." Guo Shao turned his head and said. She took another look at the Gao family who was finally rescued in front of her. She was shivering from the cold, looked at Guo Shao and said, "General, you were injured because of this." Guo Shao hurriedly took off his cloak and wrapped it around her body.

Gao limped up and followed, Guo Shao saw this and said, "Cross the river quickly to be safe, let's go back and talk about it", he went up and hugged her by the waist without saying anything, and jumped onto the boat.

At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and came up to ask Guo Shao about his injury. Guo Shao put Gao down and said, "The arrow hit the lute bone, but the arm is not affected. It should only hurt the skin... Help me pull out the arrow!"

Mrs. Gao knelt down on the boat: "Is your benefactor's last name Guo Shao?"

Guo Shao hurriedly supported him: "No way! I am Guo Shao, the general of the Great Zhou Imperial Army, you don't have to worry about it."

Not long after the boat docked, Mrs. Gao fell down on the ground when she landed, holding up a handful of soil and crying bitterly. When everyone saw this, they were all dejected.

Madam Gao sobbed for a while after crying, and said, "The person who rescued me told me that General Guo came from Tokyo and asked the King of Wei to send someone to search and rescue me, so I found my whereabouts... Otherwise, I have been in Khitan for many years, and no one would take care of me. General Guo is a high-ranking general of the Imperial Army, and this time he personally rescued me from the tiger's mouth. This kindness will be remembered by the Gao family and the Dong family. Please accept my concubine and kowtow!"

Guo Shao supported her, and said: "Dong Zunxun has always cared about his mother. Now that his wife is back, it's good. After all the hardships, he will definitely get the filial piety and compensation from his family. Don't worry too much about the rescue."

Just then, a carriage arrived. Guo Shao tried to please her, knowing that Mrs. Gao's leg seemed to be injured, and there were no women around to help her, so he helped Mrs. Gao into the carriage thoughtfully, treating her like a treasure. She is not only a woman, but most importantly, the mother-in-law of General Dong Zunxun of the Forbidden Army, and the sister of General Gao Huaide!

Guo Shao took the reins, turned on a military horse, looked back to the other side, there were more than a dozen riders there, and the boat ferryed very slowly, so he shouted: "Don't worry about the horses, people come back first!"

Gao settled down in the inn where Guo Shao and others lived, and the Dingzhou shogunate sent more than a dozen maidservants to take care of her, and invited a doctor to look at her wounds.

He personally intervened in Gao's affairs, and then asked Yang Biao and others to help him disarm him and look at the wound on his back. Yang Biao muttered: "From now on, if Gao Huaide doesn't remember the brother's friendship, then he will be boring."

Zuo You said: "Fortunately, there is no danger. My lord, please don't get involved in any danger... The Gao family and the Dong family have never had any grudges against us. How can we not appreciate it? You don't have to worry, Mrs. Gao will speak for the lord."

Guo Shao took off his clothes, and still carefully inspected the damaged parts of his clothes and armor to see if there were any debris left in the wound. He said: "I can feel it, there must be no muscle or bone injury, but this kind of injury is most afraid of infection and suppuration. Go find some strong wine, and then mix some strong salt water, boil it, and then help me clean the wound."

When people got their things, they suddenly saw Mrs. Gao walking to the door. Guo Shao hurriedly pulled a piece of clothing to cover his naked upper body, only to hear her say: "Please ask my concubine to clean the arrow wound for General Guo."

Guo Shao said: "It's just a skin injury, it's okay... By the way, there is an urgent matter in the battle, and I hope Madam will not take offense if I am rude."

Gao said lightly: "Of course I understand. If it falls into the hands of the Khitan people again, what etiquette can they pay attention to? My son is already at the age of General Guo. Seeing that you were injured for me, I can't help you. Only this small thing can show some gratitude."

Hearing what she said calmly, Guo Shao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: What did I think and what? In this era, Mrs. Gao can be her own mother at that age... Maybe this woman is really charming, so Guo Shao is so careful. If she is a kind old woman with wrinkles, she probably won't care about it.

If Mrs. Gao can love herself like an elder and treat her as a relative, wouldn't it be a bad thing? That is like marriage can enhance the relationship between the two families. Her son and younger brother will more or less listen to her.

Guo Shao thought of this, so he didn't object, and asked Gao to clean the arrow wound on his back in public.
