The cries and messy footsteps outside the city disturbed the barren but quiet morning. "Bang!" "Bang!" The sound of the city gate being slammed against the wood, like an invisible sledgehammer striking at the hearts of the people, lifted everyone's spirits.

On the main road directly opposite the city gate, several obstacles had been built due to tactical preparations, and a total of four human-high earthen walls were built in the middle of the main road. After Guo Shao entered the city, he ran behind the first wall, and then put on a wooden bench to watch the situation at the city gate.

At this moment, I saw an old woman holding a dead wooden stick, trembling and slowly walking to the empty space in front of me. Isn't she the blind old woman next door, how did she get here? Guo Shao suddenly felt very weird.

Because the open space in front of it is now basically closed on three sides. The front is the widest road in town, but it is blocked by a wall array; Several walls are folded in a labyrinth of houses on either side, except for a gap on the left. The gaps between the houses on both sides are also blocked with earth, wood, and stone, and the streets and alleys beyond the main roads are even more winding and complicated...... Wuzhen Town is like this, just to prevent a large group of people from deploying and to facilitate street fighting.

How could a blind old woman get around such a complicated road, could it be that she had been guarding the city gate for a long time?

"Ahh Ah......h Her clothes were ragged and dirty, her hair was messy like straw.

"Kill the Khitan, kill the Khitan......" the old woman shouted a few words vaguely.

An old soldier who followed Guo Shao stretched his neck and shouted: "The city gate is about to break, and the Khitan soldiers will rush in immediately, hurry away!" At this time, Guo Shao said: "Death is not a relief for her. ”

"Boom!" The gates finally fell. First a crowd of chaotic civilians poured in, and soon they were driven away by the cavalry and fled everywhere. Amid the sound of horses' hooves, a troop of horsemen rushed straight into the city, and as the first rode past the hunched blind old woman, he swung his hammer at the iron bone.

However, the Khitan cavalry quickly reined in their horses and stopped attacking, because they were not facing the imaginary road that could be charged, but a series of walls. These earthen walls were not high enough to be climbed with bare hands, but the cavalry could not go straight ahead.

Guo Shao retracted his head, leaned his back against the earthen wall, silently listened to the movement of the horse's hooves, and waited for the other party's decision. For a short moment, he felt as if he had been waiting for a long, long time.

How will the Khitans react? It is said that the nomads are very alert and run fast together in suspicion. When they perceive a possible ambush, they may immediately turn around and leave the dangerous place...... If the Khitan people know the difficulties and retreat, Wuzhen Town is equivalent to singing an empty city plan, which is not a bad thing. Because Guo Shao is not sure that he can win this Khitan army now, it is better not to fight the battle that cannot be won.

But the Khitans don't necessarily run away when they see something. They are strong and may not be easily intimidated; What's more, the style of Wuyan Town doesn't look like a place for elite soldiers.

At worst, the Khitans retreated first and then tried to find a breakthrough elsewhere. If the battle starts to spread from other directions, street fighting can also be carried out, but the terrain is not as favorable to Guo Shao as the main gate.

He leaned against the wall and pondered for a moment, then took a long breath and suddenly jumped onto the wooden bench. When he opened his eyes, he saw the cavalry who had hammered the blind woman looking ahead. Guo Shao immediately pulled the bowstring and "snapped"! The sound of the strings sounded without hesitation, and only twenty or thirty paces away, an arrow was shot in the face of the guy with unmistakable accuracy.

The guy didn't have time to scream, and fell directly from the horse. When the other Khitan soldiers reacted and hurriedly took the arrows, there was another string sound, and one person was shot again.

Suddenly, without warning, Guo Shao killed two people in a row, and jumped straight down from the wooden bench. He hurriedly picked up the plank shield and put it above his head, and the dozen or so people behind the wall also hurried to learn to lift the plank. Sure enough, a moment later there was a crackling sound of strings, and dozens of arrows whizzed overhead, some nailed directly into the wall.

Outside the wall, "wow, wow" screamed, Guo Shao did not show his head, only listened to the sound of horses' hooves. Listening to the movement, the Khitan soldiers did not impact, and then there was a rain of arrows.

A moment later, several torches were thrown on the roof, and one of the houses was thatched, and a fire immediately broke out.

Guo Shao moved the round stool to a place, climbed up and looked out carefully, and saw that the Khitan infantry had followed and arrived at the city gate. A military commander on horseback was pointing and painting and shouting loudly. Guo Shao didn't say a word, drew an arrow and put it on the bowstring first, suddenly stood up, pulled the bow, released the arrow, and did it in one go without stagnation, "pop"! The guy who was gesturing was off the horse. Guo Shao immediately shrank back.

At this moment, the pot exploded outside, and all kinds of incomprehensible shouts and strange screams were in an uproar, and then many footsteps were heard, and the infantry army should have come up.

When Guo Shao heard the movement, he waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go." So he ran away with the people around him.

They didn't stop, and expertly followed the wall for a while, pushing open a door and entering. The others closed the door and guarded the door, and Guo Shao climbed straight up the wooden stairs. He gently pushed open a small window in a messy room, which had an excellent view, and the middle road was a long stretch within a hundred paces. The bow in his hand was not strong enough, but within fifty paces he was confident that he could hit the target.

Looking down from the window, sure enough, a large group of Khitan infantry poured into the earthen wall lane, and some of them couldn't wait to climb over the wall. It is best to climb over the wall, and as soon as you climb the wall, your whole body is exposed to the firing range.

"Smack" ...... "Smack"...... The sound of the bowstring flicking the air is rhythmic! The arrows are not missing, the armor is useless, and at such a close distance, Guo Shao specializes in shooting his face and neck, not to mention that many foot soldiers have incomplete armor.

However, after a few shots, the target was exposed, and the Khitan archers immediately returned fire, and their archery skills were relatively accurate, and arrows kept flying in from the small window. But that didn't solve Guo Shao. He first showed his head to take a look, immediately dodged, and then went back to the window to fire the arrow, and the time was very short. Bows and arrows are not firearms, and it is difficult to hit fast-moving targets with only a small window.

After a while, a rocket wrapped in oilcloth beckoned up, and the roof caught fire.

Guo Shao released another arrow, and saw a few Khitan soldiers running towards the door below, hurriedly sliding down the stairs, and shouted to the old man with gongs and drums: "Knock the gong, knock hard!" ”

"Bang bang bang ......" is comparable to the noise of the ugly gong sound.

Guo Shao tied the bow to his back, pulled out the barrier knife and shouted, "Kill!" "Led the crowd out the door.

A thin wall diagonally opposite suddenly collapsed, and the lower half of that wall was deliberately so thin that it could be collapsed with a single flying foot. Immediately, I saw Yang Biao taking the lead, holding a long iron knife and rushing out with a group of people like a tiger descending the mountain, and immediately blocked the entrance of the wall.

Just next to Guo Shao's appearance, a wall also collapsed! The big-headed Luo Mengzi held a wooden shield in one hand and an iron rod in the other, and recklessly squeezed up with the wooden shield to open the way, and hit him with an iron rod. Guo Shao carried a knife and went up with the people in the house.

For a time, most of the Khitan foot soldiers were blocked in the wall formation on both sides, and they were beaten frantically at both ends. Such a group fight, neither mobile nor unfolded, is like a fight in the streets and alleys. The Khitan soldiers in the middle tried to climb over the wall, and there was chaos in the wall array.

Luo Mengzi used to be good at using a copper hammer, but his weapon seemed to have been lost, so he made do with a solid iron rod, and he was also very fierce for a while. The stick is not as sharp as the brass hammer, but the random stick still makes people cry and cry for their mother. Guo Shao likes to cooperate with this kind of desperate general, let him rush to the front and work hard, and help make up for the leaks by himself...... As the saying goes, you go first.

"!" Luo Mengzi scolded and hit the head with a stick, and hit a Khitan soldier on the helmet with a bang, making the black-faced and big-mouthed Khitan man look ugly and faint.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a Khitan soldier behind me holding a spear and stabbing Luo Mengzi's abdomen, Luo Mengzi didn't notice it, even if he wore a layer of armor but was violently stabbed by melee combat, he couldn't directly stab into the intestines?

When his companions needed him the most, Guo Shao's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward and grabbed the spear, the spear had a great momentum through the inertia of the opponent's body, Guo Shao couldn't hold it, and the spearhead stabbed into his chest at once, and with a "ding" sound, he felt the depression of the plate armor in his chest.

The Khitan soldiers grabbed the spear shaft with both hands, and stabbed out a large gap in front of him, Guo Shao didn't say a word, he stepped forward and slashed with his face, the metal impact of the blade and the helmet, and the tearing sound of flesh and bones...... sprayed Guo Shao's face and chest of blood. The screams seemed to ring in my ears, and they were literally screaming.

…… The generals on both sides rushed forward, unstoppable, and the Khitan army planted a big heel in this small corner. There was a bloody road in the dirt alley, and the people were simply stepping on the corpses to advance gradually, the walls were stained with blood, and the air smelled disgusting and the wind was miserable.

In the outermost earthen alley, some Khitan soldiers saw that the situation was not good and escaped over the wall, but most of the people who were blocked inside were killed and wounded.

The rest of the Khitan army retreated to the gate of the city, like a frightened bird. There were sporadic screams in the alley, and the wounded Khitan soldiers inside had been mended on the spot. Obviously, there is no such thing as a prisoner in such a war, and it is a knife to see it.

The fierce and frantic fighting seemed to have stopped in an instant, and the chatter of the Khitan people could be heard in the distance, and the wheezing and coughing sounds in the alleys here continued, and the people were tired. Guo Shao sat against the wall for a while, only to feel that his arms were sore, and his right hand was trembling. He shook it lightly, reaching out and wiping the blood from his palms back and forth on the ground.

Outside, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps could be heard in the distance, and it was clear that the soldiers in the town were not capable of taking advantage of the victory.

After a long time, the soldiers came out of the wall formation one after another, and looked around, and there were no enemy soldiers in the direction of the city gate. The flames of the houses on both sides were so thick that the smoke billowed into the sky, and almost all the houses that were set on fire were burned to the ground. The crowd was gossiping, some were talking, some were crying for help, and some were calling for their companions to save people.

At this moment, Guo Shao, who was suddenly covered in blood, walked out. The surroundings were a lot quieter all of a sudden, and the people who had been slack and crowded together in a mess got out of the way one after another, letting Guo Shao walk through the middle.

People's faces were suddenly filled with awe, and their eyes unconsciously focused on him, "General Guo! "Guo Jun envoy ......"

Guo Shao didn't speak, just nodded tiredly in response.
