Chapter 3 Choices VI
readx;? Chapter 3: Choices (6)
"Be careful, how can Guo Jiaque be so easy to kill?" The commander of the Great Liao'an National Army made Liu Duo's face change greatly, raised the horizontal knife without the slightest bloodstain, and reminded loudly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
His words were swallowed up by more enthusiastic shouts in the blink of an eye. The cavalry of the brigade rode past him, scrambling to be the first to press towards the center of the enemy's line, like a pack of wolves that had been hungry for months.
The soldiers of the Han army resisted desperately, but they could not save the defeat. Guo Wei fell from the war horse again, Guo Wei's handsome flag was moving backwards rapidly, taking advantage of the speed, the Liao State Yan army rushed forward like a tide, wave after wave. Every wave of people surges, and flesh and blood fly.
Han'er riding a horse, Han'er holding a spear, Han'er in Youzhou, Han'er in Hedong, Hebei and Henan, Liaodong and Longxi, groups of Han family children who speak the same language, have the same faces, and don't know each other, under two different banners, holding weapons high, stabbing and slashing each other, and their subordinates are merciless. One group fell, the other group became entangled, blood running down the wounds all over the ground, broken weapons and broken limbs alternately circling and flying in mid-air.
"Ah——!h
"!"
"Kill ——!"
"Lao Tzu fought with you!"
"I want your life!"
“......”
They could see each other's angry faces as if they were looking in a mirror. They could understand each other's shouts, like hearing their own echoes in the valley. They all have black hair, yellow faces, and black eyes. They even screamed when they were seriously injured and fell to the ground, full of nostalgia for life, and full of despair and reluctance......
"Beware, beware of traps, Guo Jiaque has always been cautious with his soldiers......" Liu Duo, the commander of the Great Liao'an National Army, muttered, his eyes wandering, and he was not guarded.
Not because of the bloody battles that were close at hand, but because of the excellent fighters that were suddenly exposed in front of them. As far as he knew, Guo Wei was definitely not a person who would voluntarily expose himself to the range of enemy arrows. If it is replaced by Shi Hongzhao or Murong Yanchao, it may still be possible. The fighter plane in front of me is probably a huge trap. Nine times out of ten, all those who jump in will not survive.
However, he did not dare to easily order the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to immediately stop the pursuit and retreat on all fronts. What if Guo Wei was really shot by a stray arrow? On the battlefield, there were thousands of feathered arrows flying in the air between every breath, what if which feathered arrow happened to have eyes? Guo Wei was not born with copper tendons and iron bones, how could he be completely invulnerable?
If he sits back and watches the fighter plane miss out on nothing, he Liu Duo will become a joke for the entire Southern Privy Council, and even the entire Great Liao Kingdom. For the cowardly on the battlefield, the newly established Great Liao will never be as tolerant as the Central Plains Imperial Court. Soon, his position will be adjusted, his military power will be greatly reduced, and those colleagues around him will come up like flies that smell fish.
Moreover, at this moment, even if Liu Duo wanted to decisively order to stop the pursuit, it might not be effective. The soldiers and horses on the battlefield did not come from his Liu Duo family, Youzhou Jiedu made Zhao Yanshou, Youzhou Army Commander Zhang Lian, Chongyi Army Jiedu made Han Kuangyi, Xingguo Army Jiedu made Dong Qi and others under the command of Zhao Yanshou, Youzhou Army Commander Zhang Lian, Chongyi Army Jiedu Envoy Han Kuangyi, Xingguo Army Jiedu Envoy Dong Qi and others, there were also a large number of cavalry who saw the bargain and rushed up. Withdrawing the Angolan army alone will not help. And if Guo Wei's injury is true, he Liu Duo is about to lose, but there are more than a few thousand soldiers!
Thousands of troops and horses galloped around on the battlefield, which was already extremely noisy. The Anguo Army's festival made Liu Duo's heart suffer from gains and losses, and the voice he made was only three feet away from his mouth, and it was completely swallowed up. He himself did not dare to rush too far forward, tugging the reins of his war horse while straightening his waist, muttering vaguely a reminder of what might be a trap while trying to look further. As long as you notice that the situation is not right, always be ready to turn the horse's head.
The dark yellow smoke and scarlet blood mist that rose high above seriously interfered with his vision. He saw that Guo Wei's handsome banner was still retreating, and every time the Chinese army of the Han army paused slightly, it would be frantically attacked by thousands of war horses. He saw that Dong Qi's recognition flag had rushed to the front of the Xingguo Army, and his left and right henchmen took turns to slash back and forth with scimitars, killing the Han soldiers who blocked the road one by one. In the next moment, the flag of the Xingguo Army's envoy suddenly disappeared, and the smoke from the horse's hooves firmly wrapped the person's front and back, left and right. A gust of hot wind swept by, the smoke quickly faded, and the flag of the Xingguo Army reappeared, and the majesty was unstoppable.
Two teams of cavalry straddling pure black war horses and wearing pure black leather armor roared up on the flanks of the Xingguo Army. They are the subordinates of Han Kuangyi, the envoy of the Chongyi Army, and they belong to the first class in the Han army of the Liao State, regardless of their weapons and equipment, or their riding skills.
Han Kuangyi's late father was the predecessor of the Southern Privy Council of Liaoguo and the first general governor of the Khitan Han'er Division. In the entire Yanyun, and even the entire Liao State, it is extremely influential. Under the shadow of his father, Han Kuangyi and his eldest brother Han Kuangsi are all mixing like fish in water in Liao. If it weren't for Zhao Yanshou's strength and contributions to Da Liao, the two brothers might have directly served as the chief and deputy governors of the Southern Privy Council, instead of just leading an army as they do now.
Not far from Han Kuangyi's recognition of the flag, it is the recognition of the flag of Zhang Lian, the commander of the Youzhou Army. This person was deceived by Xiao Han some time ago, leaving 1,500 elites to garrison Bianliang, but was killed by the Han army. He didn't dare to hate the Khitan Xiao Han, but he blamed Liu Zhiyuan for being brutal and killing. Therefore, when he saw the opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on the Han army, he absolutely refused to fall behind others.
The three-way cavalry scrambled to take the lead, and Guo Wei had no chance to stop and readjust the deployment. The Han army's military formation was recessed inward at least a hundred paces from the center, and it was still retreating, and it could be completely chiseled by cavalry at any time. The left and right flanks of the Han army were unable to dispatch troops and horses to the rescue, but they were close to the position of the Chinese army, constantly firing arrows to delay the footsteps of the Youzhou cavalry.
However, when the battle reached such a hot field, the small number of casualties caused by the feather arrows had long been ignored by the generals. What's more, with the thickness of the leather armor and the speed of the war horse, even if the Youzhou cavalry was hit by three arrows, they would be seriously injured to death. And as long as their mounts can rush into the ranks of the Han army, they can trample the opponents who stand in front of them into pulp.
"Bah!" "Bah!" "Bah!" The Han generals who were ordered to control the left and right flanks were so angry that they had to fire the bed crossbow that should have been used at the most critical moment in advance. The crossbow rod, which was more than a zhang long and had the thickness of an arm, carried the wind and rushed into the Youzhou cavalry, and all those who were shot were killed on the spot. The thick bed crossbow, however, soon pierced the second, third, and even fourth unfortunate ones, piercing them together like sliced pieces of mutton, spewing flaming blood and falling into dust.
The cavalry team that was frantically pressing forward paused, and several bloody wounds were opened in the middle. However, the number of bed crossbows was limited and the reloading was too slow. After one round of launches, it was immediately unsustainable. The Youzhou cavalry, who had been hit hard, shouted in unison, like a wounded mad dog, with a faster speed and a more decisive attitude, pounced on the opponent. Everyone held their horizontal knives or scimitars high, and everyone's eyes were red.
"Kill Guo Wei!" Liu Duo was heartbroken, gritted his teeth, grabbed a command flag from the arms of his own soldiers, and shook it back and forth. This is an order for the whole army, and as long as it is issued, there is no possibility of gathering the troops and retreating.
He no longer suspected that the news of Guo Wei's injury was a trap. Immediately, the Han army was about to be routed on all fronts. According to his knowledge and experience, no manager dares to set a trap like this. It's okay to be bait, but there must be a limit, and you can't risk your own head. It is okay to deceive and lure the enemy, but you must also have a good grasp of proportion, and you can't make the fake come true, and in the end, stealing chickens will not become a handful of rice.
"Dangdang, Dangdang, Dangdang—" A crisp gong sounded but made his arm that he had just raised stiffen in mid-air.
It was the governor of the Southern Privy Council, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, and the leading commander Zhao Yanshou who went south this time, and it was he who sounded the gong for the retreat of the whole line from the position of the Chinese army. The Anguo Army made Liu Duo turn his head and look back, his eyes full of shame. Soon, however, his shame vanished, his eyes froze, his mouth grew, and his body trembled like a remnant in the wind.
Guo Wei, who had been chased and beaten by the Youzhou cavalry before, suddenly stood at the forefront of his own Chinese army. Fighting with spears, there are two solid walls of spears on the left and right. Behind the wide spear wall, the Han army, which had fled for their lives, turned their heads, bent their bows and arrows, and shot rows of armor-piercing cones at the Youzhou cavalry, taking countless lives in each round.
This is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is in front of Guo Wei and others. Half a foot away from the cavalry, there was a dark red embankment. The Han army, armed with a spear of eight steps, could pierce the cavalry that caught up one by one through the embankment. The Youzhou cavalry, armed with horizontal knives and scimitars, could not directly smash the embankment, and could only keep circling, dodging, and parrying until they became a corpse under the spear and feather arrows.
It was the oxcart chain created by the old wolf Fu Yanqing, and the experienced Liu Duo quickly surged up in his mind with an unforgettable memory. In the Battle of Yangcheng three years ago, Fu Yanqing used this low and simple oxcart to give the Khitan cavalry a blow. Today, Guo Jiaque sneaked around again and used the old wolf Fu Yanqing's famous stunt.
"Dangdang, dangdang, dangdang—" The gong sounded loudly, and there was madness in anxiety. Liu Duo chose to carry it out without hesitation, and ordered his own soldiers to use all means to spread the order to retreat throughout the army. In an instant, the sound of gongs, trumpets, and the hoarse shouts of the heralds became one.
But all this was too late. The speed advantage of the cavalry has completely turned into a burden at this moment. Previously, because they rushed too fast, there were seven or eight thousand Youzhou soldiers, and they had completely fallen into the military formation that the Han army deliberately recessed. Not to mention that the left and right wings of the Han army have turned from horizontal to oblique, constantly blocking the back road of Youzhou Erlang with feather arrows. It was the Youzhou cavalry themselves, because they belonged to different sections of the commanders, they collided with each other and competed with each other, which also made their ranks more and more chaotic and slower.
"Knock knock......" A burst of agitated war drums suddenly sounded, sticking to the ground, and instantly rushed into everyone's hearts. The Anguo Army's festival made Liu Duo shudder violently, and his face was like earth. This is a standard offensive order, and he who has served under Li Siyuan is so familiar that he can't be more familiar with it.
In a panic, he raised his head while riding his horse away, and looked back, only to see the left and right wings of the Han army, which had moved in place, quickly closed like the double blades of a pair of scissors. Before the Youzhou soldiers who had time to withdraw from between the two blades, they were cut into rivers of blood in an instant!
"Come on, pass on the old man's message to Chang Kegong. Guo has done his best, next, it's up to him!" Hundreds of steps away, Guo Wei, who had more than a dozen feather arrows inserted in his armor, commanded loudly. The birds piercing their necks flapped their wings with the violent beating of their veins, and they could soar into the sky at any time.
