Xinkou, yellow sand is everywhere in the sky.

Legend has it that Liu Bang, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was surrounded by the Huns, fought to the death and broke through, and fled all the way to escape. Liu Bang was very happy to survive the disaster and named this place "Xinkou", which means a very happy mouth.

The blood of our ancestors had already flowed all over the mountains and rivers. Military tyrants such as Xinkou, the Huns, Turks, Uighurs, Khitans, and Han people have all been here. The ancients fought bloody battles here, but today people still continue to do so.

As soon as Guo Shao walked to this place, he was shocked immediately when he saw the mountains and rivers. There were mountains on both sides. Looking into the distance, there were shadows behind the mountains. The shadows of the mountains were like huge clouds pressing against the ground from the air.

The sun hangs west, the sky is clear, the ground is very dry, and a large fog of dust is stepped on by people.

Guo Shao followed Xiang Xun and his men approached a small hillside, and the sound of killing in front of him suddenly became larger. Thousands of troops appeared in front of him. The desolate Xinkou Army Town seemed very small, just like a lonely boat in the sea of ​​people, swaying and sinking.

The Liao army in the north was obviously crowded, with the killings in front of them turning over, and the horses and soldiers behind them were arranged in a row and in a row. The Zhou army was all on the front line, without any reserve teams, and the entire battlefield was full of dust and smoke, and flags were surging, and they were fighting hard.

In this situation, the total scale of the battle between the two sides was not ten thousand or eight thousand. There were so many people, so lively, but it made people feel lonely... Perhaps because of the fact that the army that fought was not seen, there was a deserted area everywhere.

"The main forces of the Liao army are here, even if we reinforce, it will be a drop in the bucket." Xiang Xun saw the scene clearly and immediately said.

Zhang Jianxiong cursed angrily: "That person surnamed Shi is still rushing. He thinks he can defeat the Liao army?"

Xiang Xunjun set up his formation behind the hillside, and remained silent for a while.

After a closer look, everyone finally understood the situation on the battlefield. Most of the cavalry on the front of the Zhou army could not break through the Liao army's front line, only a group of people had already entered the depths of the Liao army. The number of people was not large, and they rushed left and right among the thousands of Liao army troops, and there were large numbers of Liao soldiers on all sides. It seemed that Shi Yanchao and his close companions, and only he would be so fierce!

Although the cavalry inside rushed left and right, they could not have any impact on the army that had been half a mile wide, nor did they shake the Liao army. However, they looked very powerful and were not eliminated for a long time... If they did not break through, it would only be a matter of time.

Xiang Xun looked back at the generals and said, "Today's important matter is to rescue Shi Yanchao and withdraw him to Xinzhou."

"Lord..." Zhang Jianxiong was about to speak again, and he seemed to have a deep prejudice against Shi Yanchao.

But he was immediately stopped by Xiang Xun, who said, "Shi Yanchao is the most powerful general in our dynasty, and his reputation is revealed to the entire army. If he is let down, hundreds of thousands of troops in our dynasty will be taken away! His morale will be greatly weakened, and the consequences cannot be calculated."

After hearing this, the generals accepted it.

Xiang Xun pointed at the distance with a horse whip: "The front and rear junction of the Liao army's right wing is weak, and Shi Yanchao's position is also on the right. Zhang Jianxiong, you immediately lead the elite cavalry to attack his right wing; Shi Yanchao is a veteran in the battle formation. When he sees the situation, he will inevitably drive eastward, attack on both sides, and can break Shi Yanchao's siege."

"The last general will receive the order!" Zhang Jianxiong took the order and left.

Soon, one or two hundred elite cavalrymen emerged from the army, with strict armor and weapons, and the soldiers were brave. However, Xiang Xun's cavalry did not have armor and still belonged to light cavalry.

The horse soldiers were divided into four strata, the front army was full of cavalry and spears, and the ones behind were either slashing horses or carrying bows and arrows. Each row of weapons was relatively uniform and looked very neat and beautiful. After they went out, they jogged forward.

At this moment, a group of horse soldiers moved from the flanks to stare at Zhang Jianxiong's troops in the army that did not participate in the war in the rear of the Liao army.

Zhang Jianxiong's troops were intercepted on the right wing, and both sides were cavalry and shot. Then the first wave of cavalrymen rushed towards each other. The two sides fought against each other. The cavalry group rushed to kill and slashed, and the people were on their backs and horses fought in a group. However, the two horse soldiers in the middle of Zhang's troops did not rush into the battle group, but continued to pounce forward in a roundabout way.

Zhang Jianxiong arrived at the planned location and immediately launched a charge, rushing to the junction of the Liao army. As expected, as Xiang Xun foresaw, Zhang Jianxiong led his army to charge into the enemy formation. Shi Yanchao, who was trapped in the enemy formation, discovered the movement and turned the direction to support the reinforcements. Soon, the Liao army's flank was penetrated from the middle, and Shi Yanchao received reinforcements and broke through the siege.

The formation was almost full of war horses, and the horse soldiers on both sides rushed back and forth, like a whirlpool of sea waves in a typhoon. The horse's hooves collapsed so that the land was trembling.

Unexpectedly, the horse soldiers who had joined the flank did not retreat and continued to charge in the loose position of the Liao army. Soon, a large number of horse soldiers began to move out one after another, and reinforcements from the right wing.

Zhang Jianxiong's men turned around and rushed out to the south. The Liao reinforcements almost followed Zhang Jianxiong and filled with tides. Zhang Jianxiong led his army to run, and many people were chased and killed, and people kept falling off the horse... Shi Yanchao did not come out because it was easy to see a place of dust in the surging horses, as if there was a thorn in the ground thorn in it.

Zhang Jianxiong ran while fighting, but fortunately he was a cavalry and he fought hard. After a while, he saw him walking up with blood on his face, and jumped off the horse and cursed: "Shi Yanchao is going to die, no wonder others! I have lost so many people!"

Xiang Xun was frowning and asked, "Did you say rudely when you see him?"

Zhang Jianxiong spit out a mouthful of blood: "How dare the generals ruin the lord's affairs? Without saying anything, he advised him to break out first and then make a fool of himself... By the way, I told him that there were not many reinforcements."

Xiang Xun asked, "How did Shi Yanchao reply to you?"

Zhang Jianxiong immediately looked angry again: "He said, "I'll watch the battle aside and see how I break the Liao army formation...Mom!"

The generals looked at each other and sighed.

Suddenly, Xiang Xun slapped on the forehead and sighed: "I harmed Shi Yanchao!"

"Why did the lord say this?" the generals asked hurriedly.

Xiang Xun said: "I shouldn't have received the military order of the King of Guards. If someone else came to save Shi Yanchao, he might appreciate it!"

A general advised: "The lord doesn't have to blame himself. Shi Yanchao is reluctant to throw away his subordinates' cavalry. If he is defeated, his troops will be suppressed by the Liao army and the casualties cannot be calculated in detail. Therefore, he fought desperately and wanted to retreat to the Liao army... He did not leave, but he had nothing to do with the lord."

"Shi Yanchao's life is more important than the general's." Xiang Xun reached out to the hilt of the sword.

"Let's wait for General." Guo Shao's voice suddenly said.

The generals turned to look at Guo Shao behind him and said to Xun: "What do you have to say?"

"I thought General Xiang could wait a little longer." Guo Shao's voice was very calm, "Have the general saved the drowning person? When the drowning person just fell into the water, he was still physically strong and panicked. If he went down to save the person immediately, he would press the neck of the headband. Not only could he not save him from danger, but he might also be implicated and drowned. When there is not enough manpower, the best way to save the person drowning is to wait. When the drowning person is exhausted, then take action, and then he will get twice the result with half the effort."

After hearing this, Xiang Xun looked at Guo Shao's expression with great interest, unconsciously letting his hand go from the hilt of the sword, pondering for a moment and asking, "In the opinion of Guo Lang, when will it be the time to save Shi Yanchao from drowning?"

Guo Shao pointed to the battle formation ahead: "In the Liao formation, the dust raised by Shi Qianfeng's troops has not changed its speed. Therefore, it can be speculated that even if the personal soldiers around Shi Qianfeng were at a loss of time, the combat power had not yet dropped sharply, it would not affect his rushing speed. When they were tired and the casualties and the number of casualties reached a certain level, they would inevitably be unable to rush, and the dust in the sky would stop moving. At this time, take action and clear the siege, Shi Qianfeng would be unable to fight again...unless he was really determined to die."

Xiang Xun asked back: "If you don't know the rush and rush forward, or fail to escape in time, resulting in Shi Yanchao's death in battle, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

Guo Shao said: "If this is not the case, even if the siege is resolved, will Shi Fengfeng be willing to stop?"

Zhang Jianxiong echoed: "I think Guo Lang's method is right! Shi Yanchao just won't cry until he sees the coffin. We tried our best to rescue him, but he would not appreciate it. When the Liao reinforcements came over, we would not leave and all of us would accompany him to exhaust them in the formation!"

"Then wait a little longer." Xiang Xun calmed down and said.

The sun gradually moved westward and reached the top of the mountain. At first glance, it did not move, but after a while, you could find that it had fallen a little further. Xiang Xun's troops stopped on both sides of the road, and the whole army did not move. This side was very calm; the sound of killing sounds in front of them were shocking, and the army and horses were galloping, and the battle had reached the point where they were alive and dead. The ground was full of corpses of people and horses, and some unowned horses ran around the battlefield.

Although the two armies fought head-on, the front line was always turbulent. In the cavalry war, the army was not still, but rushed back and forth, intertwined.

After a long time, the flow of yellow dust running around the Liao army slowed down... It seems that Shi Yanchao is no longer able to do it. No matter how fierce he is, he will definitely die once he is surrounded and unable to move.

Xiang Xun also found signs and turned around and asked Guo Shao: "Guo Lang thinks the time has come?"

"Please make a decision with the general!" Guo Shao said with his fists.

At this time, Xiang Xun looked back: "All horse soldiers, follow me to fight!"

"Get orders!" "Get orders!"

Guo Shao and others turned around and looked down at the battlefield scene from a high place, then got on the horse and followed Xiang Xun down the hillside. A general shouted loudly: "Cabinets get on the horse and prepare to attack!"

The generals rode their horses through various horses, shouting and encouraging morale, while issuing various military orders.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves rang out in pieces, hundreds of elite cavalry soldiers were dispatched at the same time, and the horse gradually accelerated from small steps, and then jogged to the battlefield.
