Chapter 21 Borrowing Arrows on the Straw Boat

5days ago traverse Novels 3
The sky is getting darker.

Xiang Xunjun fought hard, but his troops were limited. In the early stage, he used his courage to penetrate the enemy formation and soon could not rush.

Some cavalry searched for weak gaps in the formation and rushed back and forth, and more people were entangled by the Liao army and fought in a melee, and most of the powerful men could not escape.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Xiang Xun shouting: Shi Yanchao is right in front, who will rescue him?

Guo Shao and others followed the cavalry while fighting on foot. The position was low and Shi Yanchao could not be seen.

But looking in the direction towards Xun, we saw a large group of Liao soldiers and cavalry very densely, which was so dense that it was incredible... The horse soldiers needed to move, and they could easily collide with each other with a little faster speed, so the gap between horses is usually relatively large; but the group of Liao soldiers and cavalry in front was crowded together and surrounded in the middle, and the people and horses basically gave up the movement there, because it was so dense that the horses could not run at all.

When that was the case, a general around Xiang Xun led his troops to rush forward, with only a few dozen cavalry, which was already the majority of the cavalry that Xiang Xun could mobile.

The general led the way and rushed forward first, trying to squeeze out the Liao soldiers' horse soldiers who stopped moving; but as soon as they approached, several spears stabbed up. The general was not three heads and six arms, and could not resist it and was immediately stabbed off the horse, and then chopped off the sword.

Another Zhou army knight followed the general and saw that the people in front of him were bloody and turned around in shock.

Unexpectedly, he was stabbed in the abdomen with a knife, and then rushed horizontally by the running war horse. The long knife that pierced into the abdomen immediately teared the wound.

Ah!The knight's scream was very terrifying. He fell from the horse and could not die immediately. He lay on the ground and opened his mouth and cried.

His hand covering his abdomen immediately turned dark red, and a piece of intestines flowed out, and the scene was very terrifying.

The Zhou cavalry behind rushed to the Liao army formation and fought a few times, then rode their horses back and forth, and was completely powerless to break the siege.

Yang Biao, who was here, watched for a while, turned around and said to Guo Shao: Let’s go and open the door and let General Xiang’s horse soldiers provide timely reinforcements!

Guo Shao stretched out his neck to watch, and saw that Zhang Jianxiong was still beside Xiang Xun.

Zhang Jianxiong is indeed a powerful general. He saved Shi Yanchao for the first time before, and it was solved with one blow. It would be difficult to achieve it without being fierce... Because the Liao army's cavalry was already powerful enough, this fierce battle was almost the strongest and most endurance ancient army that Guo Shao had encountered since he joined the army.

Don’t be impatient for a moment, wait for Zhang Jianxiong to go first.Guo Shao said.

Xiang Xun joined the battle this time regardless of his life, and his tactical goal was to rescue Shi Yanchao; now the surrounded Shi Yanchao is close to him, so he cannot do his best to make his last effort!

As Guo Shao expected, Xiang Xun forced himself to say: Zhang Jianxiong, you immediately break through the Liao formation ahead. If it fails, come and see you!

Get order!Zhang Jianxiong immediately called on the only horse soldiers around him to turn around and rush.

At this time, Xiang Xun was already weak. If a small group of Liao army brigade could break into the center of Xiang Xun, the main general would be in danger!

Zhang Jianxiong jumped and shouted: The deadline has come, if you fail, you will be successful!Attack with all your might!

The tragic and passionate roar made Zhang Jianxiong's image at this moment very dazzling. The courage of the troops doubled, and the morale of the army gathered on him, and he was immediately as powerful as the three armies!

Zhang Jianxiong took the smallest elite soldiers as his leading position, took the lead and rode his horse to rush, with only twenty or thirty cavalry following behind him.

The Liao cavalry was arranged in large numbers, and the spears were as strong as the forest to resist; Zhang Jianxiong's vanguard first charged at high speed in the first wave, and the war horses instinctively slowed down when they were close to the front, but the charge in the front section was too fast and could not stop at all. A thousand-pound man rushed into it.

There was only a long shout, and there was a loud bang among the chaotic army. I don’t know what Zhang Jianxiong’s slashed on it. In the gradually dimming light, Mars was clearly seen shining.

Its powerful noise made Guo Shao think of the powerful force of the stonemason hitting the stone with dozens of kilograms of iron hammers... It is said that the stonemason roared the most fiercely, to prevent too much vibration from causing internal injuries. Thinking about this, any melee hero likes to shout before making a move, which may be shock-proof.

The people in front of them were overturned, and they fought in a ball. The Liao army's cavalry formation was loose and dispersed, and the horse soldiers ran around.

Seeing this, Guo Shao shouted: It’s time for us to come!

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could order, Yang Biao lifted his sword and strode forward. Guo Shao and others hurriedly picked up their weapons and followed up to protect their wings.

Yang Biao was brave enough to drive forward, and his iron shoes were stepping heavily on the ground, splashing dust every step, like a locomotive smoking.

This Liao cavalry did not move, it was similar to the infantry, but it sat higher than the infantry, and the array had been chaotic by Zhang Jianxiong, so the left and right could not look after each other.

Yang Biao rushed up and started killing people, killing them when he saw them. The loud noise of the swords and weapons hitting the iron armor made people's ears buzzing.

A Liao soldier was chopped off his horse. He was about to rise up just now and immediately came the follow-up infantry stinging. Before he could resist, he was stabbed all over and was bleeding everywhere, screaming.

Everyone stared at another cavalry near the flank and rushed up again. The Liao cavalry swung his sword and slashed the spear that was stabbed, but they were stabbed several times in an instant, and the men and horses were bleeding.

Yang Biao's eyes were red and he rushed to the scene without hesitation.

Guo Shao Dakhuluo Mengzi used a shield to protect his flanks, and he acted according to the opportunity and specifically covered him.

There was a fierce general charging, like a sharp knife, so Guo Shao didn't have to fight hard, and he was not good at long weapons such as long spears and horse-slashing sabers.

Guo Shao and Yang Biao fought from Gaoping to Jinyang, fought for their lives several times, and they had a very tacit understanding of each other... Yang Biao took the lead and suppressed the scene with violence and power.

Guo Shao's strength is that he is good at understanding the situation. When Yang Biao is at its most dangerous time, he always takes action in time, and often takes a step slower to make things worse. His ability is probably due to the long-term practice of bows and arrows, because the accuracy of the bows and arrows requires good observation, especially for moving objects, not only should he observe its movements, but also guess and understand its motivation.

After a while, Guo Shao followed Yang Biao to break into the siege first.

When I looked up, I saw a circle of corpses inside, including Liao soldiers, Zhou soldiers, and many horse corpses. There was a place where they were piled up and almost turned into a simple fortification, with a pool of blood on the ground.

Guo Shao thought he went to the wrong place and mistakenly entered the slaughterhouse!

Shi Yanchao fought to the death with dozens of wounded people inside, and all the horses were gone and surrounded by the Liao army.

Under the fierce attacks and shooting of the Liao soldiers, Shi Yanchao fell down from the left and right again in a moment, and the situation was at its peak.

The Liao people may have known that this guy is Shi Yanchao, and they want to kill him at any cost... The personal soldiers of the No. 1 general are really not that easy to do, and seeing them is so miserable!

The most peculiar thing is Shi Yanchao himself. This guy is the tallest and most eye-catching, with arrow feathers all over his body, especially on his back, which looks no different from a hedgehog.

What's even more strange is that this guy is not dead yet!

The Liao soldiers were skilled in bows and horses, but after shooting so many arrows, they didn't kill them... It can be seen that precise archery techniques like Guo Shao's shooting of Zhang Yuanhui are rarely found in the world; perhaps this thing not only requires hard practice, but also requires talent and qualifications.

The Liao army here does not have Shao Ge'er, so Shi Yanchao can stand there.

Guo Shao really got pregnant and had never seen someone shot like this before... I don’t know, but I thought he was a straw boat to borrow an arrow!It’s not for borrowing arrows, how could he get so many shots?

Forward Shi!Guo Shao shouted.

Shi Yanchao looked back at him and finally recognized him as Zhou Bing's friendly army.A moment later, Zhang Jianxiong also tore open the Liao formation and led the cavalry to rush in.

After the siege was resolved, Shi Yanchao was not stupid either. He quickly ran to this side with his sword, and a few more arrows were added on his back halfway.

The personal soldiers were not able to run away, and most of them were injured and hung in one breath. Shi Yanchao waved the array as soon as he walked away, and the Liao cavalry swarmed up and quickly divided the area, screaming from behind.

The group of people gathered together and fled. The Liao cavalry chased and encountered Xiang Xun's personal cavalry and the situation was slightly slower.

At this time, Guo Shao discovered that Xiang Xun's troops had shrunk and concentrated from the surrounding area, and nearly half of the troops were lost to combat, so the space for movement would be smaller.

Looking back, there were reinforcements from the Liao army in the south, and all the troops that Xiang Xun came to rescue were trapped in a large encirclement.

The reinforced Liao army reserve team even chaoticed the right wing of Shi Yanchao's main force, which was fighting head-on, and Shi Yanchao's army was about to collapse.

Under such a bad battle situation, they didn't scatter in a hurry, probably because they felt that Shi Yanchao was not dead yet, and they also placed their hopes on reinforcements.

Fortunately, the sky became dark in a short while, with stars but no moon. The army fighting in front of them had no chance to shine on torches, and the light was extremely dark.

Guo Shao and others found their mounts and followed Xiang Xun's soldiers and horses to fight in the chaos. Everyone finally rushed out of the Liao formation with their remaining elite cavalry.

Xiang Xun's cavalry nearly 400 cavalry have now lost most of them.

After Shi Yanchao's main force was defeated by the right wing, he fled backwards across the line and was killed by the Liao army, causing chaos.

The rioters fled south together and soon encountered the infantry lined up behind them.

The light was dim and the vision was unclear. The retreating cavalry ran around and rushed away the camp. The infantry soldiers who were avoiding their own people first soon dispersed and ran away.

The infantry and cavalry ran around in the dark and were defeated.In today's day, the Zhou army's Shi Yanchao's troops and Xiang Xun's troops lost more than 4,000 people in one day, and countless casualties were found.

The only thing that was okay was that Xiang Xun's tactical goal had been achieved, and he finally saved Shi Yanchao, who had left half of his life.

Everyone was speechless all the way, and Guo Shao didn't want to say a word, and he felt exhausted all over. If it weren't for the pursuit soldiers behind him, he would have wanted to lie down on the side of the road now.

At this moment, Shi Yanchao the Hedgehog suddenly turned around and asked: What's your name?

Guo Shao.He didn't want to say one more word, including which army he belonged to.

But after thinking about it, he still said: Although we were the first to break through the siege, the person Shi Fengshou should be grateful to is General Zhang Jianxiong.

Zhang Jianxiong was not far away, and after hearing this, he snorted.
