On the Suizhou River beach, there is a vast wilderness on both sides, and the only things that can block the view are buildings and some low and gentle hills. The place occupied by the Great Zhou army has entered the hinterland of the Shu Basin.

Guo Shao and a group of generals ran horses on the sand of the river beach, and their interest was very high.

"Good horse!" Shi Yanchao is already the second time to praise Guo Shao's high horse in the Western Regions, and military generals like horses, especially Shi Yanchao is also a cavalry general. The expression of this big man seemed to be drooling.

Guo Shao said: "General Shi likes this horse? ”

Shi Yanchao was silent. Dong Zunzhi couldn't help muttering after hearing this: "I bought this good horse for thousands of yuan." I am willing to give it to my uncle, but ......"

"So expensive?" Guo Shao was slightly surprised, thousands of guan is not a decimal number. It has always been a thousand copper coins, and one copper coin can drink a bowl of tea and eat a cake or something.

Dong Zunzhi said: "If you can buy it for thousands of times, you have to have a way." ”

Shi Yanchao snorted coldly: "It's not rare! ”

Guo Shao said with a smile: "The horse was sent to me by Dong Zunzhi, and it is inappropriate for me to send General Shi so plainly." In this way, let's try to compete, did the fishing village over there see it? Whoever runs last loses the mount! ”

Shi Yanchao immediately said: "Guo Du checks this is true, will he not repay the debt?" ”

Guo Shao said: "I am willing to gamble and lose." ”

Shi Yan was overjoyed, and without saying a word, he pulled out all the armor and weapons on his body, and took off the sundries carried by the mount. He hesitated slightly, and even took off his somewhat thick coat, I really don't know how much a piece of clothing can weigh.

"Guo Dashuai be careful." "Slow down, ......"

Guo Shao turned over on the horse and patted the horse's face. Call a herald and stand beside him with a gong. Guo Shao turned his head to Shi Yanchao and said, "Ready!" ”

"Bang!" The gong sounded. The two horses sprang forward from slow to fast.

Guo Shao shook the reins, kicked the horse's belly, threw a whip on the horse's ass, and ran forward hard. Gradually, Shi Yanchao actually crossed half of the horse's body, and he was opening up the gap at a visible speed! Shi Yanchao's horse must be far inferior to his own, otherwise he wouldn't drool. This aroused Guo Shao's anger and scolded: "What's the matter! ”

Guo Shao calmed down and found that Shi Yanchao cherished the horse very much, and he didn't even have a whip, but the horse ran fast. At the moment, he recalled the equestrian skills taught by Dong Zunzhi, the calves were tense, the thighs and waist were relaxed, and the movement was borrowed with the ups and downs of the horse's back.

Shi Yanchao's voice came from the wind: "If you fall from a fast horse, you will break your bones, Guo Dashuai has to be careful!" ”

The speed was getting faster and faster, and the wind in his ears was whistling, as if it was roaring wildly and suppressively, and the scene on both sides was completely invisible. The oncoming wind is full of great pressure on the face, pouring into the nose and mouth, making it difficult to breathe.

Guo Shao had been riding a horse a few years ago, but he had never run so fast. He began to feel frightened, riding at such a speed on horseback without protection, and if he fell down, he would be injured. But Guo Shao didn't stop, maybe he didn't want to lose his fighting spirit, maybe he didn't want to be ridiculed by Shi Yanchao...... In short, he didn't slow down.

In the midst of the hurry, in the madness, under the tension of his full devotion, he comprehended very quickly. Gradually, he had found the balance on the fast horse, and for a moment he felt that he had become one with the mount, not the horse running, but he and the horse running.

In the gray area of life and death, Guo Shao not only has fear, a huge sense of pleasure permeates the whole body, he feels that he is full of strength and passion, he feels as if he can fight everything, and a self-inflammatory experience arises spontaneously.

"Boom! Boom ......" The iron hooves of the tall horse, weighing two or three thousand catties, stepped on the sand, and the sound of the heavy horses' hooves made people's blood flutter, full of the most violent and energetic atmosphere.

Guo Shao had never felt the power of his body so intuitively and directly. He heard his own heartbeat beating loudly, hammering through his chest like a drum.

surpassed Shi Yanchao in the past, and the distance between him and Guo Shao is gradually shortening. Guo Shao is chasing back, it only takes time for him to defeat Shi Yanchao!

However, it seems that only a moment has passed, and a complex of buildings that seem to be built on the water's edge has arrived...... Shi Yanchao swept past the house and slowed down first.

Shi Yanchao slowly reined in the war horse, turned his head and gasped, glared at Guo Shao with round eyes, and then looked at the good horse under his seat. After a while, a large group of soldiers rode up to catch up.

Guo Shao flipped off the horse and handed over the reins: "The horse is yours." ”

Shi Yanchao's eyes widened, and he unceremoniously took it in public, and stroked the horse's neck unabashedly, his face flushed sickly.

Dong Zunzhi said with a painful face: "It's a pity......"

Guo Shao said: "I didn't let him, he won, I am willing to gamble and lose." I'm really sorry to lose Dong Qianfeng's good horse...... But I was convinced that General Shi was really good at riding, his body was heavy and his horse was not as good as mine, but he still won. ”

Shi Yanchao said: "If you have the will to fight, you can win on any horse!" ”

He looked very happy, and generously gave his mount to Guo Shao: "My horse is a little worse, but it is much stronger than the average war horse in the army." ”

"Good! It's a good one to fight. Guo Shao praised.

At this moment, I saw Lu Chengyong galloping over on a horse and stepped forward to deliver a report: "The news from Chengdu Mansion is here." ”

Guo Shao took a look, looked back left and right, and said: "The army of Xiang Gong is blocked at the Sword Gate, and the guard of the Shu army is Han Baozheng." ”

Shi Yanchao said: "Still in Jianmen Pass? This guy is really slow enough, let's wait for him to wait until the Year of the Monkey? I suggest not to persuade him to surrender, and directly order Meng Chang to surrender on his knees, otherwise the iron cavalry will step on Chengdu! ”

Guo Shao had always felt that Shi Yanchao was easy to rush forward and rushed too fiercely, but he never really understood his feelings...... After a horse race just now, Guo Shao faintly understood. Sure enough, the proud soldiers and fierce generals of the five dynasties and ten countries are all strong people, and the weak people want to shock them and convince them?

"Iron horses can't tread Chengdu, because horses can't climb walls." Guo Shao calmed his breath and said, "I have a plan, march into Mianzhou!" ”

Everyone didn't come back to their senses for a while, but it was Dong Zunzhi who reacted first: "Uncle wants to cut off the grain channel of the Shu army from the sword gate from the back of the abdomen?" ”

Guo Shao said: "It's too slow to run off food, and attack the back of Jianmen directly from Mianzhou!" Attack inside and outside to break through the sword gate. ”

Shi Yanchao hugged his fists and said: "I am willing to be a striker, I only need two thousand elite soldiers!" Stepping on the sword gate, it's hard to come and see you! ”

"General Shi, there is no joke in the army." Guo Shao reminded.

Shi Yanchao snorted: "Guo Du points to the meaning of the words, I hit the sword gate from the back of the abdomen, and I can't take them, hum." ”

Guo Shao's face was happy when he heard this: "Zuo You, and then give an ultimatum to the puppet Shu lord, and you can give preferential treatment to Kaicheng and surrender within five days." The army is ready to enter Mianzhou tomorrow! ”

…… Shi Yanchao got Guo Shao's good horse, and it seemed that Guo Shao was more pleasing to the eye, and he squinted at others, but he had to be more deferential when talking to Guo Shao.

Guo Shao saw that he had a good attitude, so he took the opportunity to ask: "I have watched the battle many times, and General Shi is very sharp in breaking the formation, whether it is facing a horse team or a phalanx in a queue, he is a one-hit kill, but what is the secret?" He said quietly, "I'm not forcing you, if General Shi doesn't want to say it." ”

Shi Yanchao said: "We have to be fiercer than our opponents, and no one can stop us if we win." ”

Guo Shao said: "The Northern Expedition fought a decisive battle with the Liao cavalry in the south of Youzhou, and General Shi also rushed into the enemy formation with one blow, so he fell into a heavy siege. Could it be that the cavalry of the Zhou army was more ferocious than the Liao cavalry? ”

Shi Yanchao didn't say a word, took an iron gun from his subordinates, patted his horse and left, and rushed straight towards the fishing village, flying at the speed of a charge. Suddenly, with a twist of his upper body, he threw the iron spear in his hand violently. The iron spear was already fast compared to the throwing speed of the war horse, and with the speed of the war horse's charge, the force was very large, and it pierced a door with a "bang", and after a while, it actually crashed into the bamboo mud wall behind the house and flew into the river. Suddenly the house seemed to have been broken through, and the dirt flew and dust rose.

"!" Guo Shao turned his head and said, "Go and see if there is anyone in the house." ”

A military general next to him said: "We sent someone to check, and the people have run away." ”

Shi Yanchao patted his horse back and said, "Did Guo Du check it clearly?" ”

"That's it?" Guo Shao was stunned.

Shi Yanchao said: "I and my own soldiers rushed up with heavy horses, regardless of whether he took a shield or armor, and pierced the first row with one move." Usually the first row is more difficult to deal with when they see us rushing and are prepared; The front one overturned, and the heavy cavalry rushed forward, and stabbed through the ranks behind. It is better to face the infantry, knock out those with spears in front, as long as there is a gap to squeeze up, there is no one who will not collapse. ”

"Good way......" Guo Shao thought thoughtfully.

Shi Yanchao said: "It's best to deal with the infantry, the infantry can't move in front of the formation, and if you can't penetrate it, you can change places." But when encountering the kind of cavalry with long weapons, sometimes it is useless, the gun is thrown, the men and horses on the opposite side are sparse and can counterattack, and the long weapons rush over, and reach the opponent before us, we will suffer a lot. ”

Guo Shao asked: "What's the difference between that and mounted shooting, riding shooting is still farther." ”

Shi Yanchao snorted: "I see that Guo Dashuai's cheap nephew Dong Zunzhi is a cavalry tactic when he fights infantry, and he is panicked...... I don't know what the difference is, anyway, if we rush up directly, we will fight the opponents without the power to parry, so that they are scared one by one and shout mother; I can't tell you about that kind of thing, if Guo Du checks it out and thinks it's unusual, I'll know how happy it is to try it myself. ”

Guo Shao listened, and his heart was really a little shaky, listening to Shi Yanchao, his fighting was simply a kind of competition and enjoyment. It's also amazing that a martial artist can do this.

Guo Shao stood in front of the horse for a while, and said in his heart, I can't ride and shoot well, this throwing gun is much simpler. Then he asked for an iron gun, and looked left and right to see that there was a field on the river beach, and there was a field ridge on the edge of the field. At that moment, he rode his horse and rushed over, drawing a scoop in the same way, and threw a shot, but the iron spear flew away, and flew straight into the paddy field. Guo Shao scolded, and when he turned around, he saw the generals laughing one by one.

Shi Yanchao seemed to see through Guo Shao's thoughts, and shouted: "It's really easier than riding and shooting, Guo Du will be familiar with it after a little practice." ”

Guo Shao was not convinced, and took a new shot, wondering in his heart if there was a similarity with the javelin action learned in physical education class?
