Chapter 9: Gao Ping (3)
The small bottom army infantry battalion was beaten miserably, the military flag had fallen, the soldiers did not know where to go, there were enemy cavalry in front and behind, left and right, and it was difficult to escape. Even more disastrous, it met the second wave of advancing Han infantry troops, and the melee was miserable.
On Guo Shao's side, more than 500 people in the entire battalion under Wang's command had already fallen into disarray, and the soldiers fled to both wings. Guo Shao and Yang Biao cooperated back and forth, fighting and walking, and also wanted to escape from the area of defeat with the flow.
I saw Yang Biao kicking his horse and opening and closing, domineeringly dancing with a heavy iron knife and sweeping, and there were constantly "dingding" and people's screams, which were fierce. And Guo Shao is not good at using long weapons, and he only has a barrier knife in his hand, which is specially designed to protect Yang Biao's gap and dead corner behind him. The two had never killed the enemy side by side together before, and now they have a tacit understanding of both offense and defense in the battle formation.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a "nail" sound, Guo Shao felt as if he had been hit on his leg, and there was a moment of numbness at first, and soon a sharp pain hit his leg. He looked down and saw that a heavy arrow had pierced his belly and into his thigh. With a stumble, he nearly fell, stabbing the blade into the ground so hard that he fell to one knee with his body propped up.
"General Guo!" Yang Biao immediately noticed the emptiness behind him, and turned around to hold Guo Shao's shoulder.
Guo Shao let out a sullen breath and scolded: "So many people don't shoot, they shoot at Lao Tzu!" Yang Biao said: "Can you still go?" Guo Shao said: "I'm afraid I can't go." ”
Yang Biao stuck the long knife next to him, took out the short knife from his arms and bit it in his mouth, then opened Guo Shao's belly armor, without saying a word, took the short knife and directly cut off the arrow, throwing away the back section. Guo Shao was tossed in a sharp pain, gritted his teeth and didn't scream, sweat beads rose on his forehead, and he spit out the blood in his mouth. The fishy sweetness in his mouth should not be his own blood, but the blood that was splashed on his mouth by the murder just now.
"I'll carry you away." Yang Biao said in an affirmative tone, without an inquiring tone. Directly grabbed Guo Shao's arm and put it on his shoulder, picked up the long knife and left.
At this time, it was already a mixture of enemies and friends, and they had just taken two steps before they ran into the pursuers. Yang Biao couldn't show it on his back, so he hurriedly threw Guo Shao off his back and raised his knife to fight with the enemy soldiers. After a while, when he came over, Guo Shao said, "Brother Yang will go first, don't worry about me." ”
The conscience of heaven and earth is really just a polite remark, and the injured Guo Shao is not impatient, of course he doesn't want Yang Biao to leave him and run away; But he blurted out that sentence, and he didn't know why he said it. Maybe it's like a person rushing to pay, but sometimes he doesn't want to buy it.
Unexpectedly, Yang Biao didn't respond after hearing this, and really left. Guo Shao sat there, very uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't blame Yang Biao...... At present, the rebels are fierce, the officers and soldiers of the Xiaodi Army are fleeing, and the surrounding Zhou troops are becoming fewer and fewer, and Yang Biao stays to fight against the enemy army that has formed into an organization? Both of them have to die! But anyone who is wise should make a decisive decision at this time.
Guo Shao struggled to stand up, his legs were a little hard, and the thigh muscles pulled the arrows in the wound and flesh, and there was a piercing pain. An enemy soldier found Guo Shao alive, rushed up and stabbed him with a cherry gun, but the strength was not enough, and Guo Shao immediately grabbed the head of the gun and pulled it back. The enemy soldiers were taken aback and were almost taken away by Guo Shao, and hurriedly grabbed the gun and pressed it into his arms; Unexpectedly, Guo Shao immediately changed the direction of his strength, took advantage of the situation and sent it forward, overturned the enemy soldier, and directly snatched the cherry spear.
Seeing this, the enemy soldier did not come forward, but shouted at the back, which soon attracted the attention of more enemy soldiers.
Guo Shao had a premonition that he was about to be besieged by more people, and his heart was miserable, I was afraid that this situation would really be chopped to death on the battlefield. When he was bent on going to the battlefield to make contributions, who was he fighting for, and why did he want to get ahead regardless of life or death?
At this moment, he suddenly saw Yang Biao turn around again, he scolded for a while, and came up to help Guo Shao: "I saw that the Zhou army began to counterattack, and if it lasts for a while, maybe there is still hope!" ”
"Brother Yang's kindness today, I can't forget it." Guo Shao suddenly had a little hope.
Yang Biao said: "You and I owe no one now!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of enemy soldiers approached from nearby, and one of them was the first to charge with a spear. Yang Biao stopped talking, and went up, one sideways, bang! The heavy knife slapped on the man's helmet, causing the enemy soldier to cover his head and scream, Yang Biao took advantage of the situation to take a stand to meet the enemy soldiers who followed. Guo Shao gritted his teeth and followed closely, holding down the face of the fallen enemy soldier to mend the knife, and stabbing at his eyebrows with a swing of the barrier knife, "No! The cry of fear was almost cried out.
Yang Biao swung his long knife to stab left and right, and no one could take a move; Guo Shao protected his rear flank and near him, although there were many enemy soldiers, he could not get close.
But soon he saw two bows and arrows raised. "Whoosh" twice, Guo Yang and the two of them were each hit by an arrow, but fortunately, the armor protected the wound and did not seem to be deep.
The other infantry soldiers saw that they were too brave to be brave, and did not dare to step forward for a while, but only surrounded them on all sides. Because Guo Shao's legs and feet were inconvenient, Yang Biao did not take the initiative to attack alone, and there was a brief confrontation; I could hear Yang Biao's panting like pulling a bellows, the long-handled iron knife in his hand might be a little heavy, and his physical strength was exhausted by such continuous fighting.
At this time, a general of the Northern Han Army jumped up. Yang Biao picked up the long knife and attacked it quickly, and the Han general hurriedly responded to the enemy with his sword, coming and going for a few rounds, and it seemed that he was in good shape. The sword that the Han general held was too far away and very passive, but Yang Biao was already at the end of the canopy, and it was obviously not as fierce as before; Finally, the guy seized an opportunity, and when Yang Biao stabbed the old man, he successfully dodged and immediately rushed up; Now the situation has taken a sharp turn, and the long weapon is very difficult to use at too close range.
Just when he needed the other party the most, Guo Shao fought hard and grabbed it with a knife. "Dang!" The blades of the swords shook violently. Guo Shaona's obstacle knife is a talisman short soldier, light weight, and the collision is very disadvantageous; Sure enough, the Han general took advantage of the situation to bully the long sword, and the side of the sword stabbed Guo Shao's left arm. Unexpectedly, Guo Shao did not retreat but advanced, took a sword by means of armor, took a big step, and at the same time waved his right hand, and a half-foot short dagger flashed cold light in the air.
The handle of the short dagger was loose in his hand, and he was flexible to find the right direction, and the moment he stabbed down, his wrist suddenly clenched. Between the lightning and flint, outsiders didn't even see the movements clearly, and the sharp tip of the knife had stabbed down. In an instant, Guo Shao was as moving as a rabbit and his body was like a sharp arrow, and he didn't seem to be an injured person.
Suddenly, Han Jiang's face was bleached in an instant, and he opened his mouth in horror and the muscles in his neck contracted. Guo Shao's arm wielding the short knife was too fast, and a strong wind swept on the ground, causing the shoulder scarf around Hanjiang's neck to float...... Blood sprayed Guo Shao's face.
There was a brief dead silence, so short that it was almost imperceptible. "Ya Ya ......" Suddenly, a large group of soldiers rushed from all sides, shouting, waving knives and guns, and frantically surrounding them.
"Drink!" Yang Biao's eyes were round with anger, and he swept away the long soldiers, relying on his remaining physical strength to make a final struggle.
Then a clanging sound was heard, and a rain of arrows came down, and the feathered arrows stuck into the ground, as if a reed had grown at once. Someone in the back shouted: "The safety of the country is in danger, in one fell swoop!" ”
Guo Shao and the others turned their heads to look, only to see a black-faced general of the Zhou army holding up a stick weapon, prancing on his horse and shouting, and a large group of ironclad cavalry behind him was driving his horse to accelerate. "Reinforcements are coming!" Yang Biao was excited when he saw this.
God, Zhou Jun came at such a timely time!
The enemy soldiers surrounding Guo Shao and others saw that the cavalry of the Zhou army had counterattacked in a group, so they quickly turned around and ran, no longer caring about anything else. After a while, countless cavalry of the Zhou army rode up and passed past Guo Shao and the others one after another.
The galloping war horses, the vigorous sons, and the beautiful cherry guns, the knights of the Zhou army shouted and rushed forward one after another. Guo Shao dared to swear that he had never seen such a mighty iron horse soldier in his life!
Guo Shao couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart for a while, helped Yang Biao, raised his arms to the horse team and shouted: "Destroy the Northern Han, the Zhou army will win!" Long live my emperor......"
The army didn't have time to pay attention to the two bloodstained remnants, but occasionally someone turned their heads to look at them, perhaps thinking that they had gone crazy.
……
In this battle, the Zhou army turned defeat into victory.
Guo Shao and others withdrew from the battlefield due to injuries, but the battle continued, and the fighting continued until the afternoon. The Northern Han army was defeated, and the Khitan soldiers led the army to retreat; The Zhou army continued to move forward to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the Northern Han army.
After the decisive battle, a group of wounded soldiers waited for the help of the people who had been requisitioned to transport grain and grass for chores, and they were sent to the rear army camp for resettlement.
The hard day was finally over, and when night fell, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and the wind could not disperse. It's only one day, and I don't know how many people died! The Shanxi Basin Corridor has always been a bloody road of competition for hegemony, how many wars have taken place in this ancient land? I'm afraid no one knows. Now countless living people have buried their blood and souls here again, and there is just one more story.
Guo Shao's spirit was very tired, and he was slightly glad that he was still alive. Otherwise, he might have become one of these countless corpses, and then be hastily pushed into a mass grave to be hastily buried......
The arrow wounds and bruises on the torsos of the two were not serious, and the deeper wounds were the arrow wounds on Guo Shao's left leg. The small half of the arrow was not pulled out, and it had to be pulled out. After Guo Shao took off his armor, he hurriedly checked the damaged part of the "belly" that had been shot through to confirm that there were no fragments and impurities in his wound. If it is not treated properly, the wound is purulent and infected, there is no medicine at all in this era, and the small life picked up by nine deaths will still be over.
Next to the firewood pile, Guo Shao said: "Brother Yang, you rescued me from the pile of dead people today. ”
Yang Biao glanced at him: "It's flat." ”
Guo Shao smiled bitterly: "In the future, you and I will treat each other as brothers, in this world, it is difficult to live without brothers." ”
