At the same time, Guo Yaoshi and the others in the battle array were also the most miserable time.

In fact, looking at the life history of Pharmacist Guo, it is not difficult to see that this person is fundamentally from a wild road, according to the doorway of later generations, that is, a serious "Haiqing".

The so-called "Haiqing", that is, on the rivers and lakes, the artists who have no portal and have not apprenticed to the teacher are called "Haiqing legs".

This Guo Yaoshi, a native of Tiezhou, Bohai, was in the sixth year of Tianqing (1116) of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, Gao Yongchang, a native of Bohai, killed Xiao Baoxian in Liaodong and left behind him, proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Bohai Kingdom, changed the Yuan to Yingshun, and occupied more than 50 states in eastern Liaodong.

Emperor Tianzuo sent Prime Minister Zhang Lin to crusade, and was defeated by the Jurchen soldiers supporting Gao Yongchang in Shenzhou. So Emperor Tianzuo awarded Yeluchun, the king of Yan, as the marshal of the capital, recruited the hungry people in Liaodong, and took revenge on the Jurchens, which was called the "resentment army", which was divided into two hundred and eighty battalions of 28,000 people, including the former Yi battalion, the latter Yi battalion, the former Jin battalion, the Hou Jin battalion, the Qianxian battalion, the Xian camp, and the Yanzhou battalion, and Guo Yaoshi was one of the leaders.

Since then, Pharmacist Guo has stepped onto the stage of history, so he said that he is a "sea green leg" born in a hungry people.

Since the theory of origin was still the mainstream of society at this time, it can be guessed from Guo Yaoshi's background that it is absolutely impossible for him to receive any military theory since he was a child, and his level is not much different from that of the leader of a peasant rebel army. Therefore, even if Guo Yaoshi could recognize that the Song army was in the "Pingrong Wanquan Array" and knew that there were eight gates in this array, when he personally led the army into the formation, he was immediately stunned when he looked at the neat and uniform posture of the Song army in the formation, and the human flesh formation wall that extended in all directions like a labyrinth.

After entering the formation, Guo Yaoshi also waved his army straight in at the beginning, and rushed along the shield wall passage formed by the shield hand of the Song army to the direction of the formation eye (that is, the command center of the formation) composed of several chariots in the formation, but no matter how he walked, he could not get close to the formation eye, and after turning around twice, he found that he was actually spinning in the shield array.

However, after seeing that the assault array was not feasible, Guo Yaoshi ordered to turn around and look for the weak point of the Song army's shield array to attack, but it suddenly came and went, and every time he was called to see the place where it should be the weak point, as long as he led the army to pounce, the Song army's shield array would change formation in an instant, and it would immediately become an iron wall.

A few times back and forth, the loss of a thousand cavalry under his command was more than two percent, and what made people resentful was that the shield array of the Song army was a typical three-fold array of shields, spears and crossbows, with shields as barriers, spears as thorn forests, and with divine arms and bows to kill the enemy.

But Song Jun's behavior made Guo Yaoshi seem too laid-back, because Song Jun actually sent a divine arm bow to lie on the ground and shoot horses' feet. You must know that the 1,000 horses led by Guo Yaoshi are also the elite of his army, not to mention that everyone is wearing armor, and the war horses are barely wearing a layer of leather armor, plus everyone has a shield, and the protection ability is not bad. But even so, the vest of this war horse can only cover the head and neck, back, abdomen, and thighs, and it still can't cover the calves.

As a result, this side became a flaw that the Song army was looking for, and for a time the war horses of the Jin army were hit by arrows, and after the horses couldn't bear the pain and fell to the ground, even if the cavalry on their backs were not thrown to death, they were often thrown to the ground, and they were captured by the Song army before they came to their senses.

He also said that Guo Yaoshi only drank two cups of tea when he entered the battle, and he saw that his team was getting thinner and thinner, and after a rough calculation, there were only more than 600 horsemen left, and the battle damage exceeded three layers.

In a daze, Guo Yaoshi led the team along a shield wall alley to a three-way junction in the southeast corner of the battle array, and ordered his soldiers to assemble in a hedgehog formation while ordering people to blow the horn of the assembly.

It didn't take long to see Zhen Wuchen and Liu Shunren each embarrassed leader, Zhen Wuchen's team was fine, the number of people still exceeded eighty percent, and Liu Shunren's team was miserable, and the attrition had to be at least fifty percent.

After the three forces converged at the three forks, they also saw the Song army's formation move slowly and retreated, and quickly changed the formation to turn the three shield wall passages into six, and the drums in the formation were loud for a while, and the soldiers either knocked on their shields or pestle the ground with spears and spears, and shouted loudly.

"Qu Shuai! This formation is too powerful, break through! Zhen Wuchen, who was covered with cold sweat, found that the three thousand men and horses when they entered the battle before were less than two thousand at this time, and they had lost more than thirty percent of their combat strength overall, and the morale of the team had fallen to a low point.

Liu Shunren's helmet was hit by an arrow, although it did not cause any serious damage, but there was still a cut of more than an inch on his chin, at this time he didn't care about the wound, and said to Guo Yaoshi: "Qu Shuai, what the five ministers and brothers said is not bad, let a certain come to break through, Qu Shuai quickly lead the brothers to break through!" ”

Guo Yaoshi was also sweating at this time, but he was not panicked between his expressions, because he also carefully observed along the way, the Song army only used shields and spears and crossbows in this formation, and the powerful weapons such as bed crossbows and earth-shaking thunder that I had seen before were useless, and they also allowed their three teams to collide and swim in the formation, and did not make a dead hand.

However, although the loss of 30% of the troops is already a lot, if he breaks through and retreats like this, he is afraid that it will be very difficult to speak in front of Zong Wang.

Guo Yaoshi thought about it, turned around again, carefully looked at the six passages that were given up in the formation, and then said to the people around him: "The Song Army Pingrong Formation originated from the Eight Formations, and now the formation is divided into six ways, among which the death and the shock are missing. Wuchen and Shunren, one of you breaks through to the south and the other to the north, if you can get out of the formation, you will take the wolf smoke as the number! ”

Zhen Wuchen and Liu Shunren also agreed to come down, and they also shouted to their headquarters to break through.

After the two of them broke through, Guo Yaoshi shouted to the soldiers of the headquarters who were gathered around him: "Everyone evens out the arrows and blades, and when the wolf smoke rises, the whole army will break through!" ”

It is also said that at this time, originally saw the confluence of the three armies such as Guo Yaoshi, the Song army's shield array retreated, and divided the three passages out of the six channels, and after Zhen Wuchen and Liu Shunren left the south and north leading the army, they saw the Song army's shield array changing combinations, and quickly blocked and fused the four passages facing the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, and then slowly surrounded it again, first surrounded Guo Yaoshi and others, forming a "⊙" circle array, and then saw that the shield players in the north and south directions each cracked and gave way to two passages.

But he also said that seeing that the Song army quickly closed the siege and wrapped his own dumplings, he originally firmly thought that Song Jun would definitely talk to the end, and Guo Yaoshi, who wanted to win by pure formation, was suddenly dumbfounded, but when Song Jun unreasonably gave up the passage, he was naturally stunned again.

happened to be at this time, but looking at the north passage, a rider suddenly came, but saw that this person was wearing a Great Song Dynasty general armor (senior armor), because the helmet covered most of his face, but he couldn't see how he looked, but from a foot-long goatee on his chin, he could see that this person should not be young.

Hearing this, this person laughed and said: "Yang Keshi, the envoy of the Northern Expedition, is here to lead General Guo out of battle!" ”5610
