Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Three hundred and eighth chapter Jinzhou battle (3)

Above the battle formation, dust shrouded the air, swirling in the wind like dark clouds. Strands of iron cavalry surged in the vast crowd, like a flood flowing in all directions; a large area in the northeast was in chaos, like a mess in a busy market, a tall flag was slowly toppled, knives and guns were flying around, and there was a scuffle.

During the large circle of rebels, the speed of Shi Yanchao's troops has slowed down. According to his experience, after rushing in the enemy camp for a while, he should turn around and find Konglang to fight out. Anyway, the prestige has been shaken enough.

But at this time, he found that the rear was in chaos, the enemy army had collapsed to the east, and countless soldiers of the forbidden army were chasing and killing.

Shi Yanchao was at a loss for a while: he was not besieged? It seems that there is no need to rush out, where to rush?

At this moment, from a distance, three groups of cavalry soldiers from the left wing swept in from the southwest (the left wing of the Forbidden Army), and in the dust, only swords and guns were waving and horseshoes were flying. Shi Yanchao's situation at this time is quite good: the attack has a coordinated attack, and the retreat is supported by infantry.

For a while, he didn't understand why he was able to go so smoothly in the battle formation that killed tens of thousands of troops.

"Attack to the left!" Shi Yanchao didn't think too much, raised the spare iron gun presented by the general and shouted. So he led the heavy cavalry in the lead, followed by a large group of cavalry, and rushed westward.

Soon, I saw the horse soldiers of the Tiger Ben army besieging an infantry phalanx, with empty arrows flying around and spears like a forest.

The light cavalry of the Huben Army were riding and shooting around the phalanx. The enemy infantry was besieged by the cavalry, and the archers did not dare to step forward, but only threw wildly into the air; the front was full of dense pikemen. The Huben army Qingqi shot back and forth, seeing that there were gaps and omissions in the formation, they drew their swords and rushed forward to try to break the formation.

At this time, Shi Yanchao had already led people to kill him, so he repeated his old trick, first he used a heavy iron gun to throw with his horse, and it crashed into a gap with a "bang" as fast as lightning. The heavy cavalry of the left and right personal soldiers also tore through the gap, and a large number of heavy cavalry rushed up, stabbing and trampling frantically.

Seeing the heavy horses crushing into the formation like a boulder, the pawns rarely dared to stand in front of them, they all avoided and evaded, further tearing and shaking the formation.

Shi Yanchao turned to the right side, and when the horse was approaching, he slashed down on the back of a soldier's head with his knife. With a "kuang", the soldier screamed and fell forward. A moment later, the heavy horseshoe on the right side stepped directly on the soldier's back, and the sound of bones breaking and flesh and blood deforming made one's scalp tingle.

"Pfft!" Suddenly a cherry gun pierced through the neck of a pawn holding a spear, and the spear changed direction quickly, because the horse was sprinting, it was quickly pulled out from the man's neck, the tip of the gun flicked, and a large amount of blood flew into the air.

The crowd in front collapsed and fled in all directions. When Shi Yanchao looked up, he saw Dong Zunhui, who was wrapped up like an iron man, was sitting on the back of a speeding horse. With his stretched upper body, he drew the bowstring and shot one person down with a "snap".

"Dong Zunhui!" Shi Yanchao shouted.

Dong Zunhui turned his head and shouted: "The enemy cavalry in a large formation is coming, and I will fight side by side with General Shi!"

... Guo Shaoce immediately stepped forward, the deafening shouts rang out, and the smoke billowed in front of his eyes, making it impossible to see clearly what was happening in the enemy camp. But he knew that Shi Yanchao and Dong Zunjiao's Ma Jun had broken through the Fangyuan formation from the left and right wings; Yang Biao's troops on the right had torn apart a large area of ​​the opposite camp.

The battle progressed very quickly, and Guo Shao couldn't wait any longer. He shouted: "The drums and horns sound together, and the sound of the trumpets is three long and three short. The whole army goes out!"

The first platoon of trumpeters in the army puffed up their cheeks, and the sobbing sound of the trumpet sounded vigorously, and all the drums behind them rang "dong dong dong". The sound of the drum was like an accompaniment that urged people to speed up, and with the sound of roaring horseshoes, a large number of horsemen on both sides swarmed up. The tiger flags in the phalanx were laid flat one after another, "Kill, kill, kill!" The swords were raised high, and the infantry moved forward slowly with heavy and orderly steps.

Guo Shao's personal soldiers and horse reserve troops followed suit. The big step is like a wave surging forward.

At this moment, suddenly, a large area of ​​smoke and dust on the opposite side fell to their knees, and many people around them also fell to their knees one after another. It was as if a god had thrown a stone in the middle, and the wave-like ripples spread rapidly around.

"Marshal Guo is invincible!" "Surrender..." "Forgive me..." Shocking shouts resounded across a large area of ​​enemy soldiers. Countless people kneeled in the wilderness.

Seeing this, Guo Shao said, "Order Ma Quanyi to drive the surrendered troops to the market and get out of the way. The whole army will continue to advance towards the river bank!"

The huge semicircle seemed to be cut in half, and the soldiers were asked to throw away their weapons and drive the crowd into the room. Countless cavalry of the Imperial Army flocked to the banks of the Fenshui River.

As soon as Li Jixun's formation collapsed, he was immediately defeated. Even the gods couldn't stop them. Most of Guo Shao's troops were also chasing and attacking and lost their formation. Once the army lost its camp, it would be almost impossible to regroup for a while.

So the battlefield was out of control at this time, but the forbidden soldiers were chasing and killing wildly while taking advantage of the victory, and the enemy soldiers were running around. The situation cannot be reversed.

... The bowstring crackled and crackled, and the chaotic light cavalry chased the fastest, while chasing and shooting at the moving deserters. Heavy riders also swarmed from behind. Most of the cavalry in the Zhou Dynasty had only one horse, and their long-distance mobility was slower than that of infantry, but they ran fast on the battlefield, leaving the infantry far behind.

The yellow dust pervading the dry wilderness is like a blazing flame, and countless running pawns seem to be galloping in the fire. On the battlefield, no one knows who is which group of people, they are all running around, the general is only surrounded by his own soldiers, and no one can command the current army.

The ground was full of dead and wounded rebels, and the cavalry trampled over the corpses and wounded soldiers mercilessly. The contact surface of the battlefield is limited, and many soldiers have not killed the last time, so they just run along. So people scrambled to catch up and kill a few people to satisfy the expectation of traveling thousands of miles.

Near the river, the scene became even more brutal. Countless soldiers and horses were squeezed to the water's edge and became denser. Many people fell into the river and struggled in the icy water. Some people raised their heads to breathe heavily, and some were washed into the middle of the river and drowned directly. Soldiers in armor couldn't float up, and Li Jixun's men were from the north of the Yellow River, most of them couldn't swim, and countless people drowned.

There are only three pontoon bridges on the river, one of which has been overturned, and some people are holding on to the boats that built the pontoon bridges to survive. More people looked at the pontoon, unable to squeeze through, and there were people all around.

The cavalry swept in, the crowd panicked, and more people were squeezed into the water. Some people knelt down and begged for mercy, but they were quickly overthrown and trampled by the dense crowd of their own people. The screams and begging for mercy resounded by the river, and the noise echoed in the mountains on the other side.

At this moment, suddenly a fire flashed in the north, and the rebels turned their heads to see that the two pontoon bridges were on fire together, and no one knew how it started. Despair was written on everyone's faces, and some people were already kneeling and crying.

The rebels shouted in one voice: "Stop crowding! Everyone, throw down your weapons and beg for mercy!" "We've already lost, just surrender and save your life."

Suddenly, a group of cavalry in brand-new armor was rushing forward, and the yellow flag was fluttering in the wind. Guo Shao's voice shouted: "Brothers, stop immediately, our army has already won and killed too many!"

Another general shouted: "The general orders, stop the slaughter, and kill those who disobey!"

The team of cavalry roared past, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army stopped wherever they went, looking up at the flag. The rebel soldiers suddenly knelt down and shouted, shouting in a mess, and there were some flattering words like "Bodhisattva heart".

Guo Shao ran to the bank of the river, looked down at a large area of ​​defeated soldiers on the ground, and said loudly: "You are all citizens of the 'country'. They were coerced by the rebels, and they are all innocent. Those who are guilty, Li Jixun and other parties, colluded with the Northern Han Dynasty to plot evil, and those who beheaded will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Marshal Guo, for your kindness!" Everyone shouted indiscriminately.

Guo Shao pointed his sword at the drowning person in the river: "Save people."

He looked up, and saw dust and mist rising in the valley on the other side of the river, and a group of horsemen was going away. Guo Shao had nothing to do, because the pontoon bridges were all burned, and he would not be able to send troops to the other side of the river for a while.

At this moment, there was a roar of horseshoes in the north, and the horse soldiers from Jinzhou City came out.

There were a lot of people in this battle, but it lasted less than two hours, and the sun had not yet risen. Guo Shao rode his horse to the north, and soon saw Xiang Gong and Murong Yanzhao.

"General Xiang, General Murong." Guo Shao was the first to greet him immediately, cupping his fists.

The two of them returned the salute together and said they had met Marshal Guo. They looked towards Fenshui and asked Xiang Gong in a daze, "Guo Du checked... finished?"

Guo Shaodao: "Li Jixun's troops are vulnerable to a single blow, and they will collapse once they are hit."

Murong Yanzhao, with a beard on his face, stared and said: "Guo Du checks the speed of using troops, and the general will have to admire him so much!"

Xiang Gong laughed loudly: "I had already guessed that Guodu inspection would send reinforcements, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."

They rolled over from their horses, and Guo Shao stepped forward and patted Xiang Gong on the shoulder: "I dare not forget the kindness to General Xiang back then, how could I refuse to save him?"

"Small things are nothing to worry about!" Xiang Gong looked excited.

Guo Shao turned his head to look at Murong Yanzhao: "You have made great contributions to defending Jinzhou with a weak force. After I return to the court, I will ask the Queen Mother to ask for credit."

Murong Yanzhao hurriedly thanked him, and asked, "When will the Guodu inspection leave Tokyo?"

"Hahaha..." Guo Shao was not modest, and immediately raised his head and laughed triumphantly.

After the integration of the Huben Army, Guo Shao was very satisfied. The overall combat power was not only not reduced due to the integration of the establishment, but became sharper because of the most elite cavalry, a large number of horses, and resource tilts from the Iron Cavalry Army.

He suddenly felt that he was very powerful and full of confidence, and said immediately: "It's Li Chongjin's turn to learn more!"
