Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"Boom boom boom..." The cast-iron mortars let out a roar that shook the world, and the large-caliber siege cannons contained more gunpowder, and when they ignited|exploded, the battle momentum was greater than that of copper cannons. Rows of artillery on the artillery array seemed to be shooting flames, and stones weighing nearly one hundred catties were thrown into the air and rolled in the sky. Earth and stone splashed on the distant city wall.

A large number of soldiers and civilians pushing wheelbarrows outside the city filled the moat outside the city wall, and the huge shouts seemed to destroy everything.

Guo Shao picked up the carriage and looked at the scene where thousands of troops gathered outside. General Gao Huaide was boosting morale in front of the battle, shouting impassionedly, and the soldiers shouted back. The exciting battlefield made Guo Shao miss his military career... But now he doesn't need to go to the front of the battlefield. As an emperor, controlling the situation is what he should do. He only needs generals in battle.

Guo Shao waved to Lu Chengyong, and Lu Chengyong hurriedly rode his horse and approached the carriage. Guo Shao said quickly, "Send someone to deliver an edict to Gao Huaide to capture Jinzhou within fifteen days!"

"Decree!" Lu Chengyong clasped his fists and replied.

Guo Shao patted the wooden boards of the carriage and said, "Go back to the Chinese Army."

A group of cavalry escorted the car and returned to the barracks. Guo Shao walked into a tent inside the fence, and soon the eunuch Yang Shiliang and the civil servant Lu Duoxun entered.

The cannon still rumbled around, as loud as a thunderstorm. Guo Shao sat down under a chopping board full of files and papers, glanced at the two of them, and asked, "Is there any news from the king's account?"

Yang Shiliang bowed and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, not yet."

Lu Duosun said: "The former battalion's military government has ordered the scouts of all the ministries to report to the military government immediately if they come across any suspicious person."

Guo Shao said in a deep voice: "Waiting for the result while guessing and worrying, waiting is always the most difficult day."

Lu Duosun cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to the military mansion to ask Deputy Envoy Wei if there is any news today."

Guo Shao nodded slightly, removed an inkstone on the chopping board, and turned out a crude drawing with some circled arrows drawn with a brush. In the upper left corner is marked the Liao Army Qi Wang Department; in the northeast direction, an oval is drawn with a dotted line, which says Liao King's Tent, and there is a question mark... because the exact location of the King's Tent is unknown, and it is always moving. The Yalu River and other places were also marked. A sketch allows Guo Shao to observe the situation at this moment more intuitively.

He raised his head and took a deep breath, closing his eyes. Yang Shiliang watched him slightly sideways, his body became more respectful, and he didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him, even if the sound of cannons outside was shaking the sky and the earth.

This time the Northern Expedition was very powerful, and it was announced to the whole world. There were less than 100,000 soldiers deployed from countless counties and counties, but it seemed to be launching a national war!

Daxu court's deliberate strategy, because the strategic purpose is to force peace.

In addition to the needs of the national policy, this is also an important part of Guo Shao's plan for Xiao Siwen. Last autumn and winter, Guo Shao pretended to be ill and used Yang Ye to lure Xiao Siwen into the trap. The siege of Yanmen made Xiao Siwen lose the power to preside over the government; but at this time, if he forced peace, if Xiao Siwen could be blamed again... Guo Shao believed that Xiao Siwen should be finished.

The key is to let the monarch and ministers of the Liao Kingdom believe that they must seek peace!

At this moment, Lu Duoxun walked into the big tent quickly. Guo Shao opened his eyes to observe the expression, thinking that he had got news from the Liao king's tent, so he waited for Lu Duoxun to speak calmly.

Lu Duoxun cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the Qianying Army Mansion urgently reported that the Liao State Qi King's Department suddenly changed direction and marched south to Jinzhou!"

Guo Shao suddenly showed a look of surprise, and reached out to rub his forehead a few times.

Lu Duoxun said: "It must be the king of Liao who forced Feng Sage to break the siege of Jinzhou."

In layout and strategy, there are generally various uncertain things in between, and this matter is one of them. Guo Shao thought about it for a while, and then said, "We have ordered Wei Renpu, Shi Yanchao and Dong Zunhui to meet with us."

Not long after, the light in the tent dimmed a little, and a huge body blocked the light. Shi Yanchao said impatiently: "The surname Gao is playing lively in front, I just watch, I feel uncomfortable all over!"

Then Wei Renpu and Dong Zunhui also walked in, and the three of them clasped their fists together and saluted, "Your Majesty, live forever."

Guo Shaodao: "King Qi Sage of the Liao Kingdom sent troops south."

"What!" Shi Yanchao listened. He was bending over to perform the salute, but he was about to jump up all of a sudden, and glared, "Official, this guy is so scared that he retreats when he hears my name. If he sees his real body on the battlefield, he won't be scared to shit|piss!"

Dong Zunhui was stunned, Shi Yanchao suddenly took half a step forward and blocked Dong Zunhui behind him. Dong Zunhui took a step to the right, avoiding Shi Yanchao's body, but Shi Yanchao took another step to the right.

Guo Shaodao: "Fu Sage went south temporarily, morale is not high. If we can use cavalry to repel Fu Sage's troops at this time, Gao Huaide will not have to tear down the siege and deploy. What does Vice Envoy Wei think?"

Wei Renpu frowned, as if desperately thinking about the balance, and replied with a little confidence: "If your Majesty decides to do this, you can give it a try."

Guo Shao understands Wei Renpu's concern. This tactic of siege from all sides is relatively scattered. If strong reinforcements attack from the outside, it will be very difficult to fight.

"Dong Zunhui!" Guo Shao shouted decisively.

Dong Zunhui hurriedly squeezed out from behind Shi Yanchao, clasped his fists and said loudly: "The end is here!"

Shi Yanchao's face was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Guo Shaodao: "You lead the Qingqi of your headquarters... to support General Shi. Shi Yanchao, I order you to lead the main force of the cavalry to attack, and go north to search for Fu Sage and defeat him!"

Shi Yanchao was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said with great momentum: "The officials are waiting for the good news!"

... Shi Yanchao and Dong Zunhui successively led cavalry to Xunlinghe (Dalinghe) to the north, and the next day they reached the west side of Yiwulu Mountain, where they encountered most of the Liao army.

At that time, the Daling River on the west side of Renma gradually changed from north-south to east-west, and on the east side was the Lushan Mountains, which gradually became higher and steeper. Dong Zunhui caught up with Shi Yanchao on horseback, and advised, "Don't rush forward Shi Guogong. If the Liao army waits for Shi Guogong to cross the river mouth, cut off the retreat route; the southern terrain is narrow, and it will be difficult to rescue in time!"

Shi Yanchao sneered and said, "Even your uncle fights like that. You are a good teacher. Just watch from behind!"

After he finished speaking, he slapped the horse's buttocks, raised his iron gun and shouted: "Kill!"

Unexpectedly, a small group of light cavalry ran faster than Shi Yanchao. Shi Yanchao was using the fine cavalry to coerce a large group of cavalry into a jog, and was about to fight a big battle. Seeing this, he immediately cursed angrily: "Mother, whose man is that?"

The general shouted: "General Dong's people are not under our control!"

Shi Yanchao was surrounded by dense banners, and the banner with the word "History" written on it could be seen from far away. Thousands of horse soldiers were moving northward following the movement of the banner. Shi Yanchao didn't bother to care about the small group of people anymore, and continued to lead his troops northward.

Xu's soldiers and horses surged across the sandy river beach, and even on the eastern hillside there were war horses climbing uphill. As far as the eye could see, there were horse herds surging all over the mountains and plains.

The Liao army gathered into several large formations in the north, and the horses in the middle road had moved south. A group of Xu Jun rushed to the front of the formation for more than a hundred steps, and suddenly they all raised their arms and shouted: "The world's most powerful general Shi Yanchao is here, if you don't flee, you will die!"

When Shi Yanchao heard the shout, it was very helpful. The distance between the two armies was only two hundred steps. He kicked the horse's belly, roared and began to charge faster.

The Liao army, which spread from east to west, counterattacked and outflanked them. Horseshoes roared across the mountains and rivers for a while, and the sound of shouting and killing was loud. Not long after, there was a rain of arrows in the air, and Shi Yanchao's heavy cavalry took the brunt, without bows and arrows, they braved the arrows and went straight forward, completely ignoring the soldiers who were injured by the arrows.

The cavalry on both sides approached at a visible speed like a torrent, and the brown sand on the river beach was swallowed and reduced by the black horse herd. The heavy cavalry threw iron | guns at the Liao cavalry when they met face to face, and there was no sign of slowing down in the short combat. Shi Yanchao yelled, dismounting two cavalry in a row, and pounced on them. A group of heavy cavalry pierced through the forward of the Liao army like a huge arrow!

The speed of the non-stop Xu Jun's heavy cavalry dashed beyond the imagination of the two armies. After the forward rushed out, there was room for the men and horses behind to sprint, and more soldiers and horses rushed into the Liao army's formation.

Shi Yanchao's troops were invincible and unstoppable, and clashed left and right among the Liao army. He rushed to the front, and the black spear in his hand was danced lightly and nimbly. It seemed to be a wooden pole, but it was actually forged with iron! Yilqi Liao soldiers smashed Shi Yanchao. Shi Yanchao pulled out the iron | gun from the chest of the cavalry, and swept the grid to block the iron bone blossom, and the "Dang Dang" sounded a loud noise. I saw Mars splashing. "A horrible cervical bone broken sound, the man's head had been pulled down, and the whole body turned from immediately.

Shi Yanchao's breastplate and shoulder armor were full of arrows, he reached out and broke them all and threw them away! There are three layers of armor, including plate armor and locks. Even if an arrow that can penetrate the three layers of armor can hurt him, it still seems to be scratching|itching|itching in his eyes.

Xu Jun was heavily armored and fine cavalry, all of them were bloodstained. They were very brave and terrifying, and their shouts were deafening.

However, Xu Jun's horizontal expansion was insufficient, and Shi Yanchao charged too fast, and the entire cavalry turned into a long formation. The two wings of the Liao army rushed to the side of the Xu army, and quickly cut off the relatively thin formation. Xu Jun was divided into two parts, and the front and back could no longer cope!

Dong Zunhui's eyes were full of running cavalry and dust. He observed that the Liao army in the distance was galloping towards the east and west without any signs of stagnation. He knew that Shi Yanchao was surrounded in front.

"Damn it!" Dong Zunhui yelled, Xu Jun's cavalry were all in front of his troops, and the estuary was flat and narrow, and it was already blocked|dead!

Dong Zunhui looked to the left and saw some cavalry soldiers stuck in the mud by the river, struggling to toss back. And the hillside in front of the right is full of cavalry soldiers. This place is at the foot of Lushan Mountain, and the mountains get higher and higher as you go east, and the mountains in the depth of your vision seem to be like dark clouds pressing down on the horizon.

"Shi Yanchao, too!" Dong Zunhui said anxiously.
