Guo Shao and others waited anxiously for the military situation and waited for a long time. At this time, a civilian official finally hurriedly walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, holding a report in both hands: "Li Du checked the emergency report, and the Liao army of about 20,000 cavalry took the lead in attacking the right road; The Luo Vice-Capital (Luo Yanhuan) Department was still in the north, and was chasing the Liao flank in the south. Because the Liao army took the initiative to attack, Li Du had to take the lead in engaging the Liao army. ”

The civil official put the report in the hands of the attendants, and said: "Li Du checked the request and dispatched the cavalry on the right to rescue the driver." ”

The civil and military forces in the big tent all looked solemn when they heard this.

Guo Shao listened to the civil official's relay, and he was not in a hurry to read the report, he looked down at the picture spread on the table. The original situation was...... The cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located in the west, Luo Yanhuan is in the north, and Li Chuyun is in the south, which is an echoing trend; The Liao army as a whole was in the northeast. Li Chuyun's intention, Luo Yanhuan suddenly drove straight from the north and took the lead in launching an attack on the Liao army, and Li Chuyun attacked from the south to attack the Liao army from two directions.

But the news is becoming clearer and clearer at this time. The Liao army took the initiative to attack in advance and seized the initiative in time, and the main force suddenly pointed south. Most of them attacked Li Chuyun, and one of them waded across the Wenyu River from the south, and went straight to Youzhou City in a roundabout way.

The situation now is...... On the east bank of the Wenyu River, Li Chuyun and most of the Liao army met the enemy in the west and east; Luo Yanhuan was still in the north, and there was a slight time difference to rush to the Wenyu River battlefield; The first part of the Liao army was in the south, which was already close to Youzhou.

Guo Shao figured out the situation, and said in his heart: Li Chuyun's request for rescue is just an attitude, and when he plays, he can't pull away at all; Li Chuyun has more than 20,000 cavalry, the Liao army is also more than 20,000 cavalry, and the cavalry of the Zhou army is not necessarily stronger than the Liao army's palace tent army. What's more, the process of waiting for the performance and reply to the military order has been delayed back and forth, and the timing is different.

Guo Shao calmed down and said quietly: "Reply to Li Chuyun, first of all, stabilize the situation on the Eastern Front." Youzhou City has more than 100,000 Great Zhou troops, and the Liao army is less than 20,000 cavalry sneak attack, how can I do it? ”

Wang Pu said: "When Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan on the right side repel the Liao army, they can cross the Wenyu River, outflank the Liao army from the rear, and catch turtles in the urn!" ”

At this moment, the drums and trumpets in the Chinese military camp were beating in unison, and the drums were beating very quickly, which invisibly made Guo Shao's mood tense and urgent.

……

The muffled sound of "rumbling ......" on the horizon sounded like a muffled thunder brewing in the clouds in the distance! At the end of the line of sight, a thick black line on the horizon, a large herd of horses spread in this direction.

The Zhou army was also crowded with people, Zhao Hu looked up, it was all iron helmets, and the spears above the crowd were like trees.

He clutched the bronze gun in his hand and waited in the queue without saying a word. After waiting for a long time, today I finally met the Khitan people of Liao! Zhao Hu belonged to the Tiger Ben Army, and he was surrounded by well-equipped elite Zhou infantry; Shenhuo was also considered to be mounted infantry, but at this time, the real mounted infantry was used as a mobile cavalry, and their arquebuses could not fight on horseback, so they had to be in line with the infantry.

The sound of the hooves of the Liao army could already be heard clearly, but the process of waiting for them to approach seemed to be extremely long.

There was a gust of wind, and the flags on the military formation were blown "crackling".

The sound of heavy horses' hooves seemed to trample on people's hearts, knocking on Zhao Hu's heart again and again. His heart was still full of fear, but he still had the courage to face it all, and he kept telling himself that he was no longer the farmer who drove and intimidated the gangsters, but surrounded by brothers armed to the teeth.

I don't know how long it took, but they all shouted: "Check the fire rope in each team, and light it quickly if it is extinguished!" ”

After a while, they all shouted tirelessly: "Look at the horse rejection pistol in front!" The musket followed the direction of the repulsion pistol, and slanted slightly forward; If you can't see the rejection gun, look in the direction of this flag! ”

Zhao Hu understood this simple situation, because they were not facing the front, but on the side of a phalanx. There is also a phalanx in front, and each phalanx is in a staggered layout, and the divine fire is not in the front; However, if the Liao army penetrates between the phalanxes, it will be attacked from the flank by the Shenhuo Capital and other departments.

Soon the sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and the sound of gongs and drums sounded in front of them, and then the arrows flew into the sky together, and the battle array was noisy.

Zhao Hu only saw that arrows were raining in the sky in front of him, and outside a forest of shaking guns, the undulating heads of the Liao soldiers appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the shouts were deafening. At this time, what was said in the queue was no longer audible, and the generals were only useful by shouting.

Du Tou roared: "Do whatever you are told to do, don't listen to the shouts from afar, listen to the military orders of your own generals!" Those who retreat from the battle are slashed! ”

At this moment, I suddenly saw galloping horses rushing in from the gap in front of them! That's right, it's the Khitans, those people who ride horses and exercise bows and arrows, and they are the thugs who burned, killed and looted in Zhao Shuyuan!

"Ready!" The general's voice roared.

Zhao Hu was in the second row, waiting for the brothers in front of him to level the firecracker, and after the general's order, there was a "crackling ......" explosion, and the gunpowder smoke suddenly blocked the view.

"Change teams!"

Zhao Hu immediately followed the people around him and took a few steps forward, he had already practiced these steps to a good degree, but the soldiers next to him were chanting words, and their hands were shaking.

The smoke of gunpowder just now dissipated slightly in the wind, and the horses in front seemed to be running in front of them. As soon as the gongs on both sides sounded, the crossbowmen of the Zhou army released arrows one after another, and Khitan soldiers continued to fall from their horses.

Some Liao cavalry rushed past in front of him, and as soon as Zhao Hu walked up, he saw a Khitan man pulling a bow sideways on horseback, probably only a dozen steps away. He could even see the Khitan man's face and the yellow teeth when he opened his mouth! Zhao Hu's heart was tense, and his mind was blank.

An arrow flew sideways, and Zhao Hu's heart tightened, but he didn't have time to react at all. Suddenly there was a scream, and the soldier next to him threw away the firecracker.

More arrows flew over in a chaotic manner, and Zhao Hu felt that his head was hit with a "nail", and then saw an arrow bounce out in front of him.

The military general shouted, Zhao Hu gritted his teeth and raised the fire gun with others, his eyes casually caught a Khitan man in front of him who was riding a horse and pulling a bow. Eyes, doors, goals, three points and one line.

After a while, the familiar voice of the ten generals sounded in his ears: "Put!" ”

Zhao Hu scolded in his heart, "Hit your dog", and then at the same time as pulling the mechanism, he turned his face to the left, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth slightly at the same time (according to Shangfeng, it can avoid deafness in his ears), and suddenly the **explosion of "bang ......" sounded in his ears.

As for whether he hit or not, he didn't know at all, but when he opened his eyes and turned his head to look, there was a vast white smoke of gunpowder in front of him, and the situation in front was chaotic, and he didn't even know where the enemy soldier he was aiming at just now was.

"Change teams!" The military general roared.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden "boom" on the ground, and in the smoke of gunpowder, a horse and horse hit the horse rejection gun in front! Then there was the neighing of the horse, and the galloping horse fell without stopping, and fell heavily to the ground and slid forward for a while, hitting the second row of rejecting rifles, and the cavalry was even more miserable, and pounced on the rejection rifles! The spiky spear heads pierced the armor and torso of the guy, and the guy was forked on it like a string of flesh, and blood splattered everywhere.

All the Zhou sergeants were stunned for a moment, but someone finally knew that the general had given the order to change the team just now. Zhao Hu also went backwards.

But it was not over, and a moment later another horse rushed up, and the horse was driven upward, as if trying to jump from the carcass-wearing repellent. Zhao Hu opened his eyes and saw the forefoot of the horse jumping high, but the horse's belly immediately hit the horse rejection gun, and there was another miserable neigh, and even the people and horses tripped and fell on the horse rejection gun. The centaur rushed forward, and with a fierce force, he pounced forward with the repellent gun, and knocked over a large volley of guns, and the heavy centaur "boomed" to the ground.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and the horsemen behind rushed over, and the strings crackled in the strange scream.

The heavy sound of the horse's hooves trampling on the ground as the horses galloped was terrifying, and the tall cavalry roared angrily and rushed towards them. The Zhou army was terrified with bronze fire guns.

"Put! Put ...... "the generals shouted.

The soldiers of Zhou, who had just been replaced and were not ready, put a burst of fire guns in a messy manner, but they couldn't stop the Liao cavalry charge at all, and they rushed to the front in an instant!

"Ah......" screams rang out, and the troops turned around and ran. Zhao Hu also hurriedly retreated. At this time, the ten generals shouted: "Retreat to both sides, don't crowd in the middle......"

At this moment, even if Zhao Hu wanted to kill the enemy, he could only run away, holding a fire gun that had just been fired and unloaded, how could he block the charging iron horse?

"Run!" The crowd scrambled to be the first. Soon Zhao Hu remembered why the ten generals asked everyone to run to both sides! Because the infantry of the Zhou army behind formed a dense queue, three rows of spears were staggered towards the front, and there was no gap at all.

He squeezed back desperately, screaming in his ears.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, and an arrow was shot in his back, and there was no iron armor defense behind him, only leather armor. Zhao Hu felt that his feet were weak, his steps began to float, and the copper gun in his hand was also lost.

"Wow wow......" Suddenly a strange cry came to his ears, "bang", his head buzzed, and the Venus in front of him popped up, and he fell to the ground with one foot in the air. "Bang" The heavy horse's hooves almost grazed his face and stepped on the ground, and the dust splashed his face.

Zhao Hu's eyes widened, he struggled a few times, got up with all his might, reached out and touched the handle of the knife on his waist, and pulled it out with a "swish".

In an instant, a horse rushed towards him, with a fierce look on his face, and he rushed with a spear. Zhao Hu was holding a single knife in his hand, and he couldn't even think of any of those knife moves that he had practiced thousands of times, so he waved the knife twice indiscriminately...... In an instant, the spear couldn't help but say that it had been stabbed, and Zhao Hu didn't even come back, but he knew in his heart: it's over.

"Bell!" The spear struck Zhao Hu's breastplate with the power of the horse's charge, and he felt the sound of the iron armor being pierced, his chest was cold, and his whole body had been emptied.

Zhao Hu was stabbed to the ground by the impact of the spear, he couldn't feel where his limbs were, his whole body was out of control, and the severe pain was suddenly felt at this time, as if his whole body had fallen into hell, only endless pain.

His eyes were open, blurring more and more. At this moment, Daddy's furrowed face and hometown mother flashed in front of her one by one, Xu Erniang seemed to be a beautiful little lady, with unadulterated shyness in her eyes......

A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Hu, who was lying on his back, it was a horseshoe, and the horse's shoe was the size of a thing, quickly covering the entire sky in front of him......
