Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"Bang!" Yao Erniu fell heavily on the ground wearing dozens of kilograms of iron armor, the stars flashed in front of his eyes, the scene had become blurred, and a burst of severe pain hit him. He lay on the ground, trying to figure out what was going on around him, but he only saw the shadows of centaurs and horses swaying around, and his ears were buzzing.

My body was sore and limp, and I couldn't exert any strength. "Ah!" Yao Erniu was startled by a lung-piercing cry. He followed the sound and saw a Southern Tang soldier curled up on the ground. Yao Erniu was shocked to find that the man was holding a ball of intestines! There was a pool of blood on the ground, but the man was not dead yet, just now he was trampled on his calf by a horse's hoof, he screamed, and then called out in pain: "Mother..."

Yao Erniu's sense of touch came back immediately. He felt the sand kicked up by the horse's hooves, splashing on his face with the strong wind. His scalp was numb for a while, and he struggled with strength from nowhere.

"Go away!" A voice yelled, and Yao Erniu was immediately pushed by two companions who also had no horses. His helmet was gone, his bun was undone, and his hair was disheveled like a refugee.

A group of Nantang infantry was in a mess at the side, and one of the infantry shouted in a frightened and flustered voice, and charged at Yao Erniu with a spear. Yao Erniu was empty-handed, his saber no longer knew where he was going, the spear had already pierced his chest, he grabbed a handful and grabbed the end of the barrel of the spear, but it was too late, the point of the spear slammed into the breastplate with a "bang". Yao Erniu felt a pain in his chest, the plate armor was not pierced! The spear was exhausted, Yao Erniu might be stabbed a second time if he didn't fight back, he stretched out his hand to touch the back of his shoulder, unexpectedly there was still a short throwing spear on his back.

Yao Erniu grabbed the throwing spear and rushed forward, yelled "Yeah", and stabbed the guy in the face! The soldier was also very agile, he threw away his spear and hugged Yao Erniu's wrist with both hands. Yao Erniu's legs were in pain, his foot was unsteady and he staggered and threw himself on the man. But he was not the opponent of this Southern Tang soldier. He had no strength in his whole body after a fall, and his arms were even weak and sore, but he was pushed over by that guy; the javelin he was holding was forced to be slowly pressed down on his face!

Yao Erniu exhausted all his breastfeeding strength! But the fellow pressed the weight of his body up, Yao Erniu couldn't bear it, his eyes widened, tears and snot came out all at once, and he couldn't speak a word.

At this moment, his face suddenly became hot, his face was splashed with blood, and he saw an arrow sticking out of the man's throat, and he could even see the pulled flesh clearly. "Googoo..." The strength disappeared immediately, and the man fell to the ground with his throat in one hand, his limbs scratching and kicking on the muddy ground.

"Ah!" Yao Erniu got up from the ground and shouted like crazy, but no one paid attention to him.

At this time, a tall and strong general was sweeping from behind the Nantang formation with a stream of elite horse stances, and that branch was shot from that side just now. That equestrian horsemanship is skilled, sharp with swords and guns, no one can stop the ghosts and gods howling wherever he goes, and the left and right rush is like a gust of wind! The Southern Tang Army's flanking formations were attacked by the enemy, and they were defeated in an instant.

... The tall and fierce man is Shi Yanchao. After defeating this formation with a flanking friendly army, he immediately led his troops to attack the central army of the Southern Tang Army.

The tall Chinese flag of the Southern Tang Army was flying in the air, and a group of cavalry soldiers raised their swords and guns and prepared to fight. At this time, suddenly seeing a general on the right glaring and yelling, he led his army straight to Shi Yanchao's right flank.

Shi Yanchao raised his iron gun and pointed to the right, shouted, and all the soldiers turned their horses to attack. Shi Yanchao took the lead in throwing the iron spear in his hand at the round-headed man, and everyone also threw their spears forward one after another. With the sound of "Ding Ding Frame", several people fell from the horse on the opposite side, but the round-headed man unexpectedly opened all the spears thrown at him.

"Hey!" Shi Yanchao was not afraid but was interested, so he rode his horse and rushed forward, killing the general. The forwards of both sides fought for several rounds, Shi Yanchao rushed to kill several cavalrymen, but failed to kill the general. The general barely supported Shi Yanchao's onslaught, lost most of the soldiers around him, turned around and ran away, and shot an arrow with his bow on the way.

But Shi Yanchao did not pursue, turned around and went straight to the middle army of the Southern Tang Army. The third army behind also rushed in. The military order they received before the battle was to respond to Shi Yanchao's onslaught. Not long after, the Central Army of the Southern Tang Army was in chaos, and the banner wobbled and fell to the ground.

The Shu army in the south was also attacking backhand, and a large part of the Southern Tang army's camp collapsed, and the defeat could not be stopped.

... The wilderness at the foot of the Great Yellow Mountain is very large, but the battlefield is only limited to a small area. Thirty to forty thousand horses are rushing and boiling here. The messy and chaotic battlefield is like countless debris washed out by the flood, and the noisy sound is loud between the sky and the earth, which can be heard from far away.

The Southern Tang army was besieged by twice as many superior forces, among which the most elite troops of the Zhou army suddenly attacked, and the army collapsed like a mountain, and even the gods could no longer gather them. In the evening, Lin Renzhao, the forward of the Southern Tang Army, no longer existed, and the largest number of troops surrendered, followed by those who were chased and killed within a range of more than ten miles.

The commander of the Huben army made the above-mentioned generals rush back to the central army one after another, and went to the largest tiger banner. At this moment, the crowd in one area shouted loudly: "Victory! Victory..." Then all the soldiers on the battlefield shouted, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

Guo Shao was not in the central army, he was riding back from various chaotic soldiers on horseback. This Southern Tang army is very powerful, but the situation it faces is a little bit worse; only the third army of the Huben army and the horse army of the crane control army went straight to the front and suffered casualties.

All the generals congratulated one after another. Looking back at the battlefield, Guo Shao said: "This time we succeeded quickly, and the battle of quarrying has been won by 90%! Although Huangfu Jixun has 40,000 to 50,000 people, he missed the opportunity. No matter how many people there are, they will not play a key role in this battle."

Zhang Jiankui laughed loudly and said, "We are lucky to have fought against Marshal Guo. If we were in the Southern Tang army, we would be in great trouble!"

Guo Shao turned his head and glanced at the corpses being cleaned up in the distance, as well as the wounded soldiers who were supporting them, and he was noncommittal right now. He said: "For the general to make no mistakes, at least it can reduce some casualties. Lin Renzhao did not make any mistakes, and no one in his position can do better... That's all! There is one last step left in this battle. Let's boost our morale, gather troops and horses before noon tomorrow, and take down Huangfu Jixun in one go."

Guo Shao has let out a sigh of relief at this time.

Gao Yanchou and others rode towards this side, when Guo Shao turned his head, seeing him far away, he clasped his fists and said loudly: "Fortunately, Marshal Guo rescued him in time!"

Guo Shao waited for him to approach, and praised in public: "The facts are in front of me, I have not misunderstood General Gao's character. Lin Renzhao's troops are brave and elite, and our army has spent a lot of time rushing for 21 miles in order not to reveal their whereabouts. General Gao has withstood the offensive before this, and his contribution cannot be questioned!"

When Gao Yanchou heard these clear words, the expression on his face completely showed his excitement.

Guo Shao glanced at him, and then said what Gao Yanchou wanted to hear the most in his guess: "General Gao has proved the loyalty and bravery of the Jiannan Army with his military achievements, and has established his position in the court. From now on, he will be no different from the Forbidden Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Anyone who dares to question General Gao's loyalty is just to provoke internal strife with ulterior motives."

Gao Yanchou hurriedly performed the salute and said: "General Nai, Marshal Guo rescued him in time, and the general dare not take credit for it."

Guo Shao also commended the command numbers of those who rushed forward and achieved the results, and called them one by one. Everyone knows that these things will be used as evidence for rewards in the future... Refer to the experience of the Battle of Shu.

From the beginning of the day, the soldiers and horses were rectified, and the scattered people were reorganized into an army.

...

Huangfu Jixun learned in the morning that a large number of enemy soldiers suddenly appeared on the Shipo Mountain to the southeast of Caishi.

So he temporarily sent scouts to Shipo Mountain to find out the truth, but the scouts did not ambush on the mountain road, Huangfu Jixun was even more afraid. A general said that the discovered enemy soldiers were rushing eastward to Lin Renzhao's troops; Lin Renzhao's troops were in crisis, and rescue was too late, so they should immediately attack the quarry ferry, which was relatively empty of troops, to save the defeat.

Huangfu Jixun was afraid of being attacked after the fight, so he still stood still. By that night, he knew that Lin Renzhao was defeated.

Only now did he wake up to the fact that the enemy soldiers facing Lin Renzhao in the east would come back and besiege him, and he already had the intention to retreat. But the opportunity slipped a little bit, and the Zhou army's cavalry was several miles behind him in the afternoon of the next day! The speed of the maneuver left him dumbfounded.

The main force of the Southern Tang Army, more than 40,000 troops, was unable to advance or retreat. Huangfu Jixun wanted to divide his troops into the rear and gave up attacking Caishi Ferry. One night later, when he was ready to move, he suddenly found that the Shu army on the east side was also moving closer to the center.

The main force of the Southern Tang army faced the river on one side and was besieged on three sides. Huangfu Jixun sometimes wanted to break out of the siege, but the direction of the breakout was uncertain; sometimes he wanted to use a large army to concentrate his forces for a decisive battle. The Zhou Army's North Road horse army was thin but unstoppable and broke through the outer perimeter of the Southern Tang Army's camp. Seeing that the Zhou Army's forward was unstoppable, Huangfu Jixun fled from the Central Army in a hurry, regardless of the large number of reserve troops around. More than 40,000 people were paralyzed by military orders in a short time, and all the troops were defeated in just one day!

Zhou's army encircled them from three directions, but their numbers were not as many as Huangfu Jixun's. After the defeat of the Southern Tang army, they broke out in large numbers, but after losing their camp, they were unable to fight against the horsemen of the Zhou army. On the way to escape, they were overwhelmed by the cavalry, and often thousands of chaotic infantry could not withstand the charge of the hundred cavalry. Surrenders are difficult to count, and there are wounded soldiers and corpses for dozens of miles.

In the battle of quarrying, the Southern Tang army came aggressively, but it ended in absurdity and dismal. Huangfu Jixun almost fled to Jiangning Mansion alone, leaving behind him a large number of rebels.
