Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty Chapter 17: The Battle of Jinyang (2)
lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!
There are about two thousand men and horses dispatched to Xun, among which three to four hundred cavalry with complete armor and better appearance should be counted as the elite and core force of this army.
Followed by a long line of infantry, marching in long columns on the road; a line of four people, the line looks about three or four hundred steps long, so Guo Shaocai estimated that he was bringing two thousand people.
This infantry is incomparable with the former infantry of Guo Shao and their former Sixiaodi Army. Most of them are incompletely armored, and a few of them don't even have helmets. The soldiers have different heights and different weapons.
It seems that what Xiang Xun Department really relies on is the three or four hundred elite cavalry around him. I am afraid that only these cavalry have strong combat effectiveness.
Thinking about it this way, Guo Shao felt that his more than 20 riders were not dispensable for Xiangxun’s reinforcements, and could be counted as a force.
Because Guo Shao thinks that all the soldiers in the squad are tough, Yang Biao is even more of a fierce player, but he didn't make his mark.
The army marched during the day and camped at night. On the morning of the third day, the army suddenly stopped during the march.
I saw a village next to the road. It was a very ordinary village. Most of the houses scattered and disorderly were very dilapidated. There were a few big trees between the houses as usual. There were not many unusual places.
Guo Shao soon discovered something unusual.
A gang of insurgent soldiers are coming out of the village. Not only soldiers, but also a few mule-drawn double-cocks. There are several young women tied to the back of the cart, their hands tied to the cart with ropes. On the rack, weeping and walking with the mule cart.
Those soldiers are soldiers of the Zhou army, here is less than Xinzhou, far and near are in the control area, only the men of the Zhou Dynasty.
In the horse-training troops, two cavalry mounted their horses, left the main road and surrounded them from the left and right, and soon surrounded the rebel soldiers who had just come out of the village.
At this moment, I saw Xiang Xun personally lead his entourage, Guo Shao and others were behind him, and when he saw this, he led the horse to follow slowly to see what happened.
Xiang Xun saw that the rebels were pulling a cart full of things, and there were women in the back. He knew what was going on without asking.
These rebels not only robbed money, but also robbed wives and daughters.
"Mother|'s!" Xiang Xun yelled, "Take it all for me!" The rebel soldiers were surrounded by the fine cavalry regiments. Seeing this battle, they did not dare to resist, and all stood there with their heads down.
At this time, a general next to Xiangxun said: "This place is near Xinzhou. Apart from my ministry, the soldiers and horses of Wei Wang (Fu Yanqing), Guo Congyi, Bai Chongzan, and Shi Yan , Lianbing must be their people.
It is inconvenient for the lord to kill and punish him, but he can be tied to the army and handed over to their lord general for disposal; all the goods and women are sent back to the village.
"Xiang Xun listened to his anger a little, and was about to give an order, when he heard a sound of horseshoes coming from the north, everyone followed the sound.
After a while, I saw a team of horsemen approaching.
The current person is very tall, he may be half a head taller than Guo Shao by visual inspection, and his torso is stout. He looks like "one size bigger" than the average person behind him. It's too small...It's much harder to come and ride the horse.
When he approached, I saw him with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his face was like a knife, and he was murderous.
Just look at your appearance and you don’t look like ordinary people.
Guo Shao has been at the bottom of the Forbidden Army for a long time and has no idea who this person is.
However, it seems that Xiang Xun recognizes it, and Ce Ma immediately bowed his hands and said: "I never wanted to meet a historical forward here.
"The big man looked slantingly and was very arrogant, but he also replied and said simply and simply: "General Xiang.
"Xiang Xun said immediately: "Brother Shi should know that after our army attacked Hedong, the military discipline was lax and there were looting from time to time, so that the officials and people in Hedong defended themselves, making it more difficult for our army to supply supplies.
The officials have repeatedly ordered the soldiers not to rob the people. You think these people are better, not only robbing things, but also robbing people... They shouldn't be soldiers under Brother Shi? ""Humph! "Unexpectedly, the big man responded to Xiang Xun like this.
Xiang Xun is also a general at any rate, but that sturdy man does not buy it, and I am afraid he is not a small person.
Guo Shaoxun thinks on the side. Just now, a minister mentioned Fu Yanqing, Guo Congyi, Bai Chongzan, and Shi Yan. Only Shi Yan is surnamed Shi. Could he be Shi Yan? Rao is that Guo Shao is only a low-level general for a long time, but he is also a member of the ranks. If Shi Yan's name has never been heard, I am embarrassed to call himself a martial artist? This Shi Yan was recognized by the Zhou dynasty military circles as the first fierce general, and his reputation was comparable to Zhang Yuanhui of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Which of the two most powerful generals in the country is more powerful? I don't know... In the end, none of them singled out anyone. Zhang Yuanhui was shot to death by the unknown soldier, Guo Shao.
Shi Yan snorted, jumped off the horse, and walked straight to the front of the rebel soldiers.
The dozen or so people who had just been **** bowed their heads, and didn't even dare to look at him.
Shi Yan didn't say a word, and everyone did not move, standing to see what he was going to do.
He then looked at the little girls **** behind a mule cart. All of them showed fear, but one of them quietly watched him.
Shi Yan suddenly drew a long sword from his waist, lifted the sword and walked up; although the little ladies took a few steps back timidly, they were not overly alarmed... Maybe this general came to cut the rope for them , Didn’t the generals here just talk about not looting the people? With a "poof" and then a scream, the little ladies screamed.
Then Shi Yan walked up and stabbed one person to death without saying a word.
"This..." Someone beside Xiang Xun stepped forward, and Xiang Xun stretched out his arm to make a stop gesture.
Next to Xiang Xunbian, regardless of the women's bitter pleadings and crying, he killed them with a single sword and a pool of blood on the ground.
At this moment, there was a "plop", and one of the soldiers fell to the ground first, begging for mercy: "To the general, I know you are wrong!" Shi Yan's chest was covered with blood, and he walked away with a sword dripping blood. When he came back, he swung a sword and slashed, and the kneeling sergeant screamed and fell to the ground.
Shi Yan "pooh" spit, "Dog|mother's, lustful cartilage!" After killing one person, he walked to the second one. The guy's eyes rounded and his face was pale, and his hands were covered. Stand there tied back.
Shi Yan grabbed his head and chopped a sword on his neck, blood rushed out.
The man fell on his side, not dead, and his limbs twitched like a sheep.
Some of the people who were finally **** scolded angrily: "You bloodthirsty brutal man! Shi Yan, you must die!" The soldiers at the scene watched him one by one. Killed more than a dozen people personally.
No one moved and no one discouraged.
Shi Yan threw the blood sword on the ground, and his entourage hurriedly picked it up and wiped it.
At this moment, he walked to the horse, took the reins, and sneered back: "General Xiang, are you satisfied with my disposal?" Xiang Xun was speechless, clasping his fists and saying, "There will be a period in the future, we will be in Xinzhou. Confluence.
"When Shi Yan and his team left, Xiang Xuncai said, "Bury the body.
"The army stayed for a while beside this unknown village, looking at the height of the sun, it was close to noon.
Xiang Xun ordered to continue on the road, as if he was close to Xinzhou, and it was just right to have lunch when he walked there.
Sure enough, at noon, I saw a city in front of me. Walking north from Jinyang, the first city I saw of a slightly larger scale was undoubtedly Xinzhou.
The city gate of Xinzhou is closed, and the city has troops to help defend it.
Sent someone from Xunjun to talk to the city and hung up the voucher. This opened the city gate and continued to enter Xinzhou with 6 steps.
The location of this city is important, but the city is not that big, and the scene inside is still a bit bleak.
However, it seems that there are a lot of troops stationed in the city now. There are continuous formations of infantry on the Central Cross Avenue, and a large number of soldiers and horses are also stationed in the city gate that has just entered.
Guo Shaozheng is curious about how many troops Xinzhou has transferred, but he is not very good at asking Xiang Xun. The generals at the bottom are used to it, knowing that these military conditions do not require him to understand and inquire.
But at this moment, the general who first spoke to Guo Shao in Jinyang and questioned "Why are there so many horses in the infantry", and asked about this.
He asked: "How many people have come from Xinzhou?" Xiang Xun asked: "Now King Wei controls more than 10,000 generals, and Sanggui, the descendant of the Northern Han Dynasty, has a few thousand people, maybe 20,000 people together.
" The general said: "With so many troops, why do you want us to reinforce? Isn't there a report that the Liao army only has thousands of horses? "Follow him, you tell the soldiers to rest on the spot, I will go to the army to see King Wei first.
"Xiang Xundao.
For the time being, a crowd of people could only rest in a small open space inside the city gate. The place was too small to build a stove and cook food. They all sat on the floor, eating dry food and drinking cold water to satisfy their hunger.
Some people are looking for water wells everywhere, and others are busy feeding their horses with beancake and salt.
Guo Shao and others were born in infantry, but they have been in the army for a long time and are familiar with war horses. Luo Mengzi is carefully checking the horseshoes.
Although Xinzhou has a large number of soldiers, it feels very peaceful for a while. It looks much more peaceful than Jinyang, which is full of ants.
