Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 20 The Battle of Jinyang (5)

The setting sun is like blood, and the last corner of the eye lingers between heaven and earth. Holding up the shining iron sword high, Xiang Xun shouted: "Kill!"

The forward's first wave of cavalry rushed through the battle formation with the momentum of never returning, the horseshoes flew alternately rapidly, and the dust flew. Several rows of cavalry are like rushing waves, charging at a high speed with a distance of several feet. All the knights leaned forward, their cherry guns leveled, like sharp arrows off the string.

In an instant, he was in close contact with a surge of cavalry soldiers from the Liao army. The horses clashed, and the knights of both sides passed by alternately. Among the lightning and flint, weapons were brandished and assassinated, and screams were everywhere. The sound of heavy metal impacts and human screams resounded through the mountains.

Zhang Jianxiong who followed up raised his gun and shouted: "To die on the battlefield is today!" Then he led a group of cavalry to sprint away.

Xiang Xun led the fine cavalry to accompany him, led the follow-up brigade of horsemen, also kicked horses and swung swords, and gradually entered the charge state from cantering, and the troops roared forward. Xiang Xun was not Shi Yanchao, and he didn't rush to the front. Soon, the soldiers around him passed his position and rushed straight forward. Seeing this, Guo Shao thought that what he was following was Xiang Xun, he couldn't ask the general to charge forward and hide behind himself, he led more than 20 cavalry to catch up and charged forward.

Guo Shao knew how to ride a horse a long time ago, but he has been an infantry soldier and has no conditions or opportunities to practice equestrian skills. It is the first time to fight on horseback. He used to think that riding a horse was not difficult, and he rode very well. He thought that horse fighting was similar. Unexpectedly, the war horse was fine when jogging, but when it charged, it was faster than a motorcycle, and bumped up and down, as if it was in the bow of a small boat with rough seas, the feeling was really exciting!

He couldn't find the balance of ups and downs for a long time, and he was knocked to pieces on horseback. When he opened his eyes, he felt the earth shaking and mountains shaking, and countless armored soldiers were shaking left and right. If he hadn't held the reins tightly with one hand, he might have been knocked off the horse during the high-speed charge; under tension, he subconsciously clamped his legs around the horse's belly to stabilize the undercarriage, for fear of falling off the horse... The horse was clamped hard, thinking it was a signal to speed up, and ran fast.

At this moment, an illusion flashed in Guo Shao's mind, as if he stepped on the wrong accelerator.

The galloping speed of the war horse did not decrease, so Guo Shao looked really brave, and he passed the Jingqi in front of him, with the energy to fight bravely... He really couldn't express it.

At this time, the heavy cavalry of the Liao army was recoiling from the front, and the first cavalry was very strong. After passing by the Zhou army knights, they raised their swords and dropped them, killing several people in a row. The following Zhou army cavalry shot at it with bows and arrows, but the arrows could not penetrate the heavy armor. The Liao cavalry was covered in iron armor, even the horse was armored, and he was holding a round shield in his left hand.

A young general in Zhou's army shouted: "Guo Lang, shoot that guy!"

The person who shot and killed Zhang Yuanhui, the first fierce general of the Northern Han Dynasty, was in the army. Everyone hoped that Guo Shao would shoot and kill the Liao army's mighty general as soon as possible to reduce his own casualties. In a hurry, Guo Shao took the arrow from the quiver and strung the string, aimed at the arrow... But even he himself did not expect that the arrow went far away and flew directly over the head of the cavalry.

Guo Shao was stunned, furious, and shot two more arrows while galloping, but none of them hit.

All the troops were stunned. At this moment, some people may doubt the credibility of Guo Shao's miraculous achievements, or he is simply an impostor!

And that Liao army hero was still charging straight from the left wing, he jumped up and down on horseback very skillfully, like performing acrobatics, but he was quite flexible in heavy armor. The cavalry on both sides were in the same position as if they were facing each other. They were very fast, and the time to approach was very short. Generally, they could only pass one or two moves. The Liao warrior fought with several knights one after another.

Guo Shao pondered, horse shooting and foot shooting are fundamentally different things. Seeing that the servant was about to kill him, Guo Shao held his breath, quickly retracted his bow, and pulled out the saber from his back. A two-handed weapon with a long handle and a long body, the length can effectively increase the attack distance, and it can be used on foot and cavalry;

At this moment, Yang Biao shouted: "Brother, let me come!" So he and Luo Mengzi rode past Guo Shao's position. Soon he got close to the Liao warrior, Yang Biao yelled, swung his iron knife with both hands, and swept across his waist; unexpectedly, the Liao man leaned back, his upper body stuck to the horse's back, and suddenly fell short, causing Yang Biao's sweep to fail, and the two sides immediately crossed each other.

The Liao warrior then ran into Luo Mengzi, who was holding an ugly and rough hammer, and approached the Liao rider sideways, and then swung the hammer and smashed it down. The Liao man caught it with a shield, and there was a loud bang, and his horse neighed, but the Liao general was on the horse and was not affected; Anyway, he has done it for a long time.

"Haha..." The Liao warrior turned his head and laughed loudly at Luo Mengzi, while reining in his horse to avoid it slightly to the left, he sat upright on the horse's back vigorously.

But before he could stop laughing, he was surprised to see a Zhou army general rushing out from behind him. This person is Guo Shao. Luo Mengzi had just fallen off his horse, and before he could get up on the ground, the cavalrymen of the Liao army who followed were about to trample on him. If iron hoofs stepped on Luo Mengzi's rich belly... the scene was so beautiful that Guo Shao couldn't imagine it.

Guo Shao's method is rather stupid, but very timely. Just rushed out obliquely, and immediately met a Liao army cavalry who was rushing. When it is, the situation is like on the highway, everyone is driving in their own lanes, and suddenly a guy drives the car into the wrong lane! The cavalry of the Liao army who rushed up hurriedly reined in their horses. The horses could not avoid it at such a short distance, and the inertia could not stop. With a "bang", the shoulder of the horse hit the middle of Guo Shao's mount. The horse neighed in pain and fell to the side. Guo Shao took advantage of the momentum and jumped off the horse. His double armor and weight of two hundred catties fell heavily to the ground.

At this time Luo Mengzi had already got up and ran up to rescue Guo Shao. Guo Shao felt pain all over his body, and he didn't know if he was injured, so he gritted his teeth and got up. He looked angrily at the Liao warrior who rode alone ten paces away, then looked down again, only to find that his bow had fallen on the ground, so he picked it up. With a finger guard bound on his right hand, he immediately took the arrows from the quiver. The two-stone strong bow is a bow used by the officers and soldiers of the training department to practice arm strength. Almost no one uses it in actual combat... One stone and two are already strong bows for actual combat, and most of the infantry equipment is eight-dou and one-stone bows.

Annoyed and ashamed, Guo Shao immediately pulled the two stone bows into a full moon with great force, and aimed at the guy at a close distance of ten steps. The hero of the Liao Army looked back and saw Guo Shao holding up his bow and setting up an arrow, so he raised his round shield to protect his vital points. "Crack!" The bowstring trembled, and an arrow roared away, and the heavy arrow pierced through the round shield!

Not even the double protection of the round shield and the armor could save the Liao general. Hearing a scream, the fellow finally fell off his horse.

Guo Shao was embarrassed for a while before, furious, and now he stood where he was and shot violently, "Crack!"..."Crack!"...The sound of strings didn't stop for an instant.

Usually when people use bows and arrows in melee, due to the short distance and their own physical loss, the bow is not fully drawn. But Guo Shao didn't care much for a while, every time the full moon was full, it was a strong bow again. The Liao soldiers charged up one after another, with one arrow at a time, accurate and ruthless, the heavy arrows pierced through the armor again and again. After a while, seven or eight empty horses ran past.

After killing seven or eight people in a row, Guo Shao's anger subsided and his physical strength was exhausted, so he finally stopped. Immediately, I felt that my arms were soft and sore, my palms were full of sweat, and my fingers were shaking, and I couldn't calm down anymore.

"Guo Lang is mighty!" A general in Zhou's army applauded loudly when he saw him killing people like hemp.

At this time, Yang Biao and twenty other soldiers rode to Guo Shao's side to protect him. Yang Biao yelled: "All of our team dismount and fight on foot!"

The whole team was soldiers from various infantry units of the Xiaodi Army. They were used to the hard days of fighting on foot, and horses were useless for them. They were really a group of infantry on horseback, not as good as fighting on foot. Everyone dismounted from their horses, picked up their weapons and gathered together to fight in groups; only four soldiers were still riding, leading the horses to follow the Zhou army's cavalry that was moving on the flanks, and they were reluctant to leave the horses behind.

Yang Biao, who was fighting on foot, was at the front, holding a long-handled iron sword, and violently cleared the way. The heavy cavalry from the Liao people rushed forward, and the ordinary infantry saw that they were condescending, and they were afraid, so they only used cherry guns to defend.

It is rumored that the iron sword commonly used by the generals of the Zhou army evolved from the Mo Dao in the Tang Dynasty. It is unknown whether it is true or not; but the iron sword is made of iron from the long handle to the wide back blade, and it is very heavy. It is indeed a weapon that only the strong and strong like to use.

The iron knife in Yang Biao's hand was heavier than almost all long weapons, and far more than the hardwood shaft of the spear and cherry gun. Sweeping across, the weight and strength would take precedence, and the enemy soldiers would not dare to parry. He has a horse face, two hard beards, and when he is angry, he looks fierce and bloody like a murderer|demon, and his aura is also very frightening.

Among the turbulent horse herd, Guo Shao's small infantry moved slowly. Fortunately, a group of cavalry from the training department was galloping around, so Guo Shao and the others would not be surrounded to death or trampled to pieces.

At this time, there was a "whoosh", and an arrow hit Yang Biao's breastplate. Yang Biao yelled and stretched out his hand to pull it out. Guo Shao followed the direction and saw a Liao army cavalry not far away raising his bow to shoot the second arrow. Guo Shao shouted loudly and reached out for the arrow at the same time.

Liao Qi was about to continue shooting Yang Biao, but when he heard the shout, he suddenly found the bow and arrow in Guo Shao's hand, and immediately turned around to aim at Guo Shao. Guo Shao also immediately raised his bow, and the two of them looked at each other at a distance of more than 20 steps, but in an instant, "Crack! Crack!" The arrows shot at each other.

Guo Shao was hit by an arrow first, and his chest was heavy. There was a forged steel plate inside this part, and a layer of ring armor on the outside, which the arrow could not penetrate. Almost at the same time, the Liao soldier in front let out a cry of pain, and dropped his bow and arrow, only to see an arrow pierced into his shoulder. Liao Qi stretched out his hand to cover his shoulder, adjusted his horse and ran.

So close, it only hit the shoulder! He was really exhausted and his hands were not stable. If he hadn't been anxious to see Yang Biao's danger, he almost didn't draw his strong bow. At this time, he immediately looked around and shouted: "Who brought a bow and arrow?" A soldier in the team hurriedly took a bow with a relatively normal strength and sent it up.

Guo Shao and others continued to cooperate with the nearby cavalry to fight, and the fighting continued on the battlefield.
