lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!
Xinkou, the sky is full of yellow sand.
It is said that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, personally conquered the Xiongnu and was besieged, fighting to break through, and escaped here all the way.
Liu Bang was very happy not to die, so he named this place "Xinkou", which means very happy mouth.
The blood of our ancestors has already flowed all over the rivers and mountains. The Huns, Turks, Uighurs, Khitans, and Hans have all come to warriors like Xinkou. The ancients fought **** battles here, and today people are still succeeding.
As soon as Guo Shao walked to this place, he was immediately shaken when he saw the mountains and rivers.
There are mountains on both sides. Looking into the distance, there are dark shadows behind the mountains. The shadows of the mountains are like huge clouds pressing on the ground from the sky.
The sun is hanging to the west, the sky is clear and the ground is very dry, and a large cloud of dust and fog is stepped on by people and horses.
Guo Shao immediately followed Xiang Xun's people to a small hill, and the killing sound in front of them suddenly became louder.
Thousands of troops and horses appeared in front of them, and the dilapidated Xinkou Army Town seemed very small, like a lone boat in the crowd, shaky.
The Liao army in the north was obviously crowded. The killings in the front were turned upside down, and the horse soldiers at the back were all lined up without moving.
While Zhou Jun is all on the front line, there is no reserve team. The entire battlefield is dusty and flags are surging.
In this battle, the scale of the battle between the two sides added up to not 10,000 or 8,000.
There are so many people, so lively, but it makes people feel a sense of loneliness inexplicably... Maybe it's because of the fact that there are no other people in the army except for the fighting army.
"The main force of the Liao army is here. Even if we reinforce it, it will be a drop in the bucket.
"Xiang Xun saw the scene clearly and said immediately.
Zhang Jianxiong cursed angrily: "The one surnamed Shi is still rushing, he thinks he can defeat the Liao army?" Xiang Xunjun deployed his army behind the hillside, and stopped moving for a while.
After looking closely, everyone finally understood the situation on the battlefield.
Most of the cavalry in front of the Zhou army couldn't break through the line of the Liao army, only a group of people had already penetrated into the depth of the Liao army.
The number of men and horses is small. Among the thousands of troops and horses of the Liao army, they are rushing from left to right. There are large areas of Liao soldiers on all sides; it seems that it must be Shi Yan and his close companions. Only he can be so fierce. Right! Although the cavalry inside rushed from side to side, they couldn't affect the army that was half a mile wide, let alone shake the Liao army.
But they look very tough, and they haven't been wiped out for a long time...If they don't break out, it will only be a matter of time.
Xiang Xun immediately reviewed the generals and said: "Today's important task is to rescue Shi Yan and withdraw to Xinzhou.
""Lord..." Zhang Jianxiong wanted to speak again. He seemed to have a deep view of Shi Yan.
But he was immediately stopped by Xiang Xun, and Xiang Xun said: "Shi Yan, I am the number one warrior in the army, and the prestige is known to the army.
If you let him fight, I will be robbed of hundreds of thousands of troops! Morale will be greatly weakened, and the consequences cannot be counted.
"The audience will listen and worship.
Xiang Xun pointed out with a whip: "The front and rear joints of the right wing of the Liao Army are weak, and Shi Yan is also on the right.
Zhang Jianxiong, you immediately lead your team to ride out and rush to the right flank; Shi Yan is a veteran of the battlefield, and he will drive eastward when he sees the situation. You can solve Shi Yan's siege by flanking both sides.
""The final order! "Zhang Jianxiong took the order and left.
In a short time, there were one or two hundred elite cavalry in the army. The armor and weapons were well-prepared, and the soldiers were brave. However, the cavalry horses of Xiang Xun had no armor and were still light cavalry.
This horse soldier is divided into four units at the front and rear. The front army is all equipped with lances and spears, and the ones at the back are equipped with sabers or bows. The weapons in each row are relatively uniform, and they look very neat and beautiful.
After they were dispatched, they jog forward.
At this moment, I saw a horse soldier moving from the flank of the troops behind the Liao army that were not participating in the battle, and stared at Zhang Jianxiong's army.
Zhang Jianxiong's team was intercepted on the right flank, and both sides shot a projectile.
Then Zhang's first wave of cavalry rushed head-on, and the two sides confronted and fought, and the cavalry group immediately rushed and chopped, and the people turned their horses into a group.
However, the two horsemen in the middle of Zhang's Department did not rush into the battle group, but moved forward in a roundabout way.
Zhang Jianxiong arrived at the premeditated location, and immediately charged, and fiercely inserted into the Liao Army joint.
Sure enough, as Xiang Xun had foreseen, Zhang Jianxiong led the army into the enemy's formation in a rush.
Shi Yan Jingqi, who was trapped in the enemy's formation, was moving and also turned to the right to support reinforcements.
It didn't take long for the flank of the Liao army to be pierced from the middle, and Shi Yan got the reinforcements and broke out.
Almost all war horses were in the battle, and horses and soldiers on both sides charged back and forth, like the whirlpool of waves in a typhoon.
The horseshoe collapsed and the ground was shaking.
Unexpectedly, the horse soldiers who joined the flanks did not retreat, and continued to charge at the position where the Liao army was loose.
In a short while, the rear of the Liao army did not enter the battle horses, and a large number of horses and soldiers began to dispatch, reinforcements from the right wing.
Zhang Jianxiong’s men and horses turned around and rushed out to the south. The Liao’s reinforcements almost followed and chased Zhang Jianxiong, flooding over like a tide; Zhang Jianxiong led his army, was chased and shot many people behind, and people kept falling... Shi Yan But it didn't come out, because it was easy to see that among the turbulent horses, there was a place where the dust was very big, as if there were ground thorns in it.
Zhang Jianxiong ran while fighting. Fortunately, he was a cavalry, and he fought hard.
After a while, I saw him with a **** face, and he immediately yelled at him. He jumped off his horse and yelled: "Shi Yan is dying by himself, no one else! I lost so many people!" Xiang Xun frowned and asked, "You see He didn’t, did he speak badly?" Zhang Jianxiong spit out blood: "How dare you do anything about the lord in the end? Without saying anything, I persuaded him to break out first, and then make care... By the way, I told him that there are not many reinforcements. .
" Xiang Xun asked, "How did Shi Yan answer your question? "Zhang Jianxiong suddenly became angry again: "He said, Zhu Zi was watching the battle on the side to see how Lao Zi broke through the Liao army... "The generals looked at each other and sighed.
Suddenly sighed to Xun Yi's forehead, "I killed Shi Yan!" "Why did the lord say this?" The generals hurriedly asked.
Xiang Xun said: "I shouldn't have commanded King Wei's military order. If another person comes to save Shi Yan, maybe he will appreciate it!" A minister persuaded: "The lord does not have to blame himself.
Shi Yan is reluctant to lose his subordinates, if he loses, he will be covered by the Liao army, and the casualties cannot be counted.
That's why he just tried his best to fight and retreat to the Liao army... He didn't leave, but he had nothing to do with the lord.
""Shi Yan's life is more critical than he should be.
"Xiang Xun reached out to the hilt of the saber.
"Hold on to the general.
"Guo Shao's voice suddenly said.
The generals turned their heads to look at Guo Shao behind, and Xiang Xun said, "What do you have to say?" "The final general thought that General Xiang could wait.
"Guo Shao's voice was calm, "Has the general saved a drowning person? When the drowning person just fell into the water, he still had physical strength and was panicked.
If you go down to save someone immediately, you will be bound by his head and neck. If you can't save him from danger, he may even drown.
When the manpower is insufficient, the best way to save a person from drowning is to wait. When the drowning person is exhausted, and then take action, it will be twice the result with half the effort.
"Xiang Xun listened to Guo Shao's expression with interest, unconsciously let go of his hand from the hilt, pondered for a moment and asked: "From Guo Lang's point of view, when will he save Shi Yan from drowning? Timing? "Guo Shao pointed to the front battle formation: "In the Liao formation, the dust raised by the forwards of history has not changed in speed.
Therefore, it can be speculated that even if the frontman's personal soldiers around the history are attenuated, but the sharp decline in combat power has not yet affected his rush rate.
When they are exhausted and attrition to a certain extent, they will inevitably be unable to rush and the dust in the sky will stop moving.
At this moment, if he takes a shot and clears his siege, the forward can't fight anymore...unless he really wants to die.
"Xiang Xun asked, "What if you didn't know your urgency, or if you couldn't make a rush, and you failed to clear the siege in time, causing Shi Yan to die in battle, wouldn't it be worth the loss? "Guo Shao said: "No, even if the siege is resolved, will the forward be willing to give up?" "Zhang Jianxiong echoed: "I see Guo Lang's methods!" Shi Yan just didn't see the coffin and didn't cry. We tried our best to relieve him, but he didn't appreciate it. When the Liao army's reinforcements were overwhelmed, we would have to accompany him in the battle if we didn't leave! "Then wait.
"Xiang Xun calmed down his airway.
The sun gradually went west and reached the top of the mountain. At first glance, it didn't move, but after a while, you can see that it dropped a few minutes.
Xiang Xun’s troops stopped on both sides of the road, and the whole army stood still. This side was very calm; but the sound of killings shook the sky and the horses galloped. The battle has reached the point of death and death. The ground is full of human and horse corpses. There are some unowned horses running around the battlefield.
Although the two armies are fighting head-on, the front has always been turbulent.
In the cavalry battle, the army does not stand still, but rushes back and forth, intertwined vertically and horizontally.
After a long time, the movement of the yellow dust in the middle of the Liao army slowed down... It seems that Shi Yan is no longer good, no matter how fierce he is, once he is besieged and cannot move, he will undoubtedly die.
Xiang Xun also showed signs, and specifically asked Guo Shao back: "Guo Lang thinks the time has come?" "Please decide to the general!" Guo Shao said with a fist.
At this moment, Xiang Xuncai looked back around: "All the horsemen, let me play!" "De Ling!" "De Ling!" Guo Shao finally turned around and took a condescending look at the scene of the battlefield, then mounted his horse and followed Xiang Xun. Down the hillside.
A member of the generals shouted loudly: "The cavalry mounts, ready to attack!" The generals rode horses across the horse teams, yelling to boost morale and issuing various military orders.
After a short while, the hooves of horses rang out in a film, and hundreds of cavalry soldiers were dispatched at the same time. The horses gradually increased from small steps, and then jogged to the battlefield.
Getting closer, Xiang Xun stretched out his hand and drew the sword, raising it high.
The army levelled the spears and sabers they were carrying, "Whhhhh..." There was another metal sound of swords unsheathed, like a music without melody, rough and simple but full of enthusiasm.
