In the early summer, the weather became warmer. Guo Shao and others were worried that the corpse would rot and explode in the town. They wanted to bury the dead in the back mountain as soon as possible, but the town general Li Desheng tried his best to obstruct it.
He found someone to cut off the ranks of the Qidan soldiers and load them into the truck, and rushed to send Luzhou for credit.
A few days later, officials came from Luzhou, brought six pigs and sheep, and two sacks of copper coins to Wuyu Town to reward the generals.
At this time, Guo Shao finally understood why there were Khitan soldiers here.
The news first came from the Liaozhou officials who surrendered.
After the Battle of Gaoping, the Khitan army retreated, or did not expect that the Zhou army would immediately attack Jinyang (Taiyuan) by victory. A troop of troops stayed in Liaozhou, southeast of Jinyang, and did not have time to leave.
Its military strength is not much, the real Khitan cavalry only has one or two hundred horses, and there are thousands of foreign servant infantrymen.
When they learned that the army of the Zhou Dynasty was going northward, they couldn't leave...the line from Jinyang to Taihang Mountain in the north was controlled by the Zhou army, and the east of Taihang Mountain was also the Hebei town under the rule of the Zhou Dynasty.
The retreat of this Khitan soldier was blocked, and then it became worse.
When it was, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty ordered the Fourth Route Army to attack the periphery of Jinyang and support the main battle.
Among them, the right wing is the defense officer Kang Yanzhao of Laizhou, and the army attacked Liaozhou.
The officials of Liaozhou send people to come day and night.
The Khitan soldiers were preparing to break through the encirclement, but soon received a secret order from the north, and ordered them to go straight south from Liaozhou to attack the Zhou Dynasty’s grain road.
Encircled on all sides, not retreating but advancing. Obviously, this soldier has become an abandoned son. The Khitan upper class only hopes that they will play a little role in the end.
... Zhou Jun’s logistics supply is indeed very problematic. It is said that countless counties and counties including Xi, Ci, Jiang, Ze, Jin, Lu, Xing, Zhao, Zhen, Ding, etc., have been asked for You can enlist the people before the Zhuang transport grain support.
You Pu shot Li Gu temporarily to replace Fu Yanqing, sentenced to Taiyuan to do government affairs, and used his whole body to solve the number and adjust the food.
It didn't take long for us to see an endless stream of grain-transporting convoys on the road near Luzhou, like a long dragon, missing the front and the end.
Guo Shao discussed with the generals and decided to follow the army escorting the grain and grass north to Jinyang and return to the Xiaodi army.
So Guo Shao led the Forbidden Army squad and started walking north. In addition to the three brothers and civil servant Zuo You, 20 wounded soldiers recovered.
There were forty to fifty ban soldiers who were wounded in Wufang Town, but some were disabled, some were seriously wounded, and seven or eight died in the battle in Wufang Town.
Another heavy-duty trek for a long distance.
Guo Shao came out of Tokyo. I don't know how many roads he has walked, but his boots have worn out.
Half way, he encountered the right servant who was patrolling the grain road and shot Li Gu's horse. Li Gu heard about Guo Shao's record and praised him greatly. He ordered the grain superintendent to provide supplies along the way and rewarded more than 20 war horses.
Guo Shao and others transformed into a cavalry force after getting the horse.
In mid-May, Guo Shao's team only walked to Jinyang and was immediately stunned by what they saw.
Smoke billowed over the standing Jinyang City, killing sound shook the sky, and countless large army groups surrounded them, attacking on all sides.
I saw people crawling everywhere on the high city wall. Watching this battle, Zhou Jun was using the most conventional siege tactics: Ants.
Like ants, the main tool is the ladder.
Countless rockets are flying in the sky, the whole city explodes like a firework tube, and the rockets are like flying dense sparks.
The fire flashes from the city up and down, and black smoke is everywhere.
The ladder is full of people, rolling wood and stones are falling one after another, and people are constantly falling from the air; the most unbearable thing is that the city pours oil from time to time and catches fire. Those soldiers who burned up are on the wall Rolling desperately below, the armor that caught fire would not be able to take off for a while.
A group of people pushed a cowhide cart close to the city gate. There were stone caves on both sides of the city gate, and they poured oil. After a while, the cart turned into a raging firewood.
Zhou Jun stepped forward and continued to suffer casualties.
The battlefield looked extremely tragic.
...Guo Shao and others were stunned, until they saw a group of civilians carrying wounded soldiers screaming and groaning towards this side, they quickly led the horses to make way.
Thousands of troops are fighting like this. Where can I find Zhang Yongde? When the group of civilians passed by, they soon saw a large group of Zhou army cavalry marching here. The current banner had the word "xiang", but I didn't know which army it was.
At first, this group of cavalry ignored Guo Shao and others, because they were also dressed in Zhou Jun's armor and were obviously friendly forces.
But some people still find it strange, why are there more than 20 people standing here watching the show? The general in front left the road, reined in the side of the road, and pointed at the lead Guo Shao with his horse whip: "Whose soldiers and horses are you?" Guo Shao replied: "The Xiaodi Army Infantry Commander Wang Degong's men.
""The infantry team has so many horses? "The general asked.
Guo Shao hurriedly said: "These horses shoot right, and are given a reward from Li Gong.
We came from Luzhou and met Li Pushe on our way.
Li Pu shot to hear about the deeds of me waiting to cut Zhang Yuanhui and defeat more than a hundred Qidan wanderers. He rewarded the final general and presented it with a horse..." "Your name is Guo Shao? "The general asked hurriedly.
"It is the end.
"At this moment, the general in front of the horse soldier turned his head and took a look, and immediately turned his horse to come here.
I saw that the general had thick bones, his skin was yellow and rough, and he was very burly; the general was also looking at Guo Shao up and down.
The general asked: "Are you Guo Shao?" Guo Shao calmly replied: "I have military status; in addition, a general named Zhao Kuangyin in the Forbidden Army met the end general in Gaoping and rewarded him in person.
In the end, he dare not deceive.
"The other person whispered: "The scattered member Yuhou Zhao Kuangyin, there is indeed such a person.
" "Haha! "The general suddenly laughed, "You said it was Guo Shao, so it would be easy!" ""The general has seen the end general?" "The general said: "I haven't seen it, I've heard it."
If you shoot Zhang Yuanhui to death with an arrow, you can be considered famous by stepping on his corpse.
" He looked at Guo Shao carefully again, and said, "The infantry of the Xiaodi Army is all gone in Gaoping, who are you looking for? I think it’s like this, you first go with me to reinforce King Wei, and after the fight, come back and show you the official family, and let the official family give you another official...Ha! By the way, it would be the envoy of Xuanhui Nanyuan and the former military supervisor of Hedong Xingying.
""Looking forward to the general name for a long time! "Guo Shao bowed his hand in a hurry.
To my heart, he has been in the army of the five generations for several years, but he still hasn't fully understood the various official positions above, and is only familiar with the positions of the generals at the bottom.
But once I heard that Xiang Xun's official title is so domineering, it must be not low.
Xiang Xun said: "Would you like to follow me? Wei Wang Fu Yanqing blocked the Liao army in Xinzhou. He was not strong enough to send people to ask for help. I would have ordered the officials to strengthen Xinkou.
Guo Shao happily clasped his fist and said: "The last will go.
"When it was, he didn't have time to solicit the opinions of his brothers and subordinates, so he agreed to speak first.
Everyone should also understand this decision: It's all here, it must be a war... Is there any more tragic errand than going to Jinyang City to climb the wall? Look at the wounded soldiers who were brought back. They were all cooked with kerosene.
So everyone followed Guo Shao, led the horse and joined Xiang Xun's army.
