Chapter 20 The Battle of Jinyang (5)

The setting sun was like blood, and the last afterglow was nostalgic between heaven and earth. The bright iron sword was raised high and shouted to Xun: "Kill!"

The first wave of horse soldiers in the forefront rushed into the battle formation with a momentum of leaving no return. The horse's hooves flew rapidly alternately, and dust splashed. Several rows of cavalry were like running waves, charging at a high speed several feet away in the blink of an eye. The knights leaned forward, and their cherry spears were flat, like a sharp arrow that was streaked away.

In an instant, a close contact with the Liao army was surging with a surging horse soldiers. The war horses were hedging, and the knights of both sides passed by alternately. In the lightning, the weapons were waving and assassinating, screaming everywhere, heavy metal collision, and screams of people resounded throughout the mountains.

Zhang Jianxiong, who followed up, raised his gun and shouted: "It's today!" So he led a group of cavalry to sprint away.

Xiang Xun led the elite cavalry to follow him, and led the follow-up team of horse soldiers to kick horses and swing their swords. From jogging, they gradually entered the charge state. Xiang Xun was not Shi Yanchao, and he did not rush to the front. Soon the personal soldiers around him passed by his position and rushed forward. Seeing this, Guo Shao thought that he was following Xiang Xun now, and he could not ask the main general to rush forward. He hid behind him, and led more than 20 cavalry to chase him and charge.

Guo Shao had been riding a horse for a long time, but he had been an infantryman and had no conditions or opportunities to practice equestrianism. It was the first time to fight immediately. I used to feel that riding a horse was not difficult and riding well, and I thought that horse fighting was almost the same. Unexpectedly, when the horse was jogging, it was fine. When the horse started to charge, it was faster than a motorcycle, and it was bumpy, as if it was on the stormy bow of a boat. The feeling was so exciting!

He hadn't found the balance of ups and downs for a long time, and was scattered on the horse's back. When he opened his eyes, he felt that the earth was shaking and countless armored soldiers were shaking left and right. If it weren't for the reins tightly holding the reins tightly, the charge was knocked off the horse's high-speed stage; nervously, he subconsciously clamped his legs and stabilized the lower plate, fearing that he would fall... The horse was pinched hard, thinking it was a signal of acceleration and ran very fast.

At this moment, an illusion flashed through Guo Shao's mind, as if he had stepped on the wrong accelerator by driving.

The horse galloped without decreasing speed, so Guo Shao looked extremely brave and flew directly past the elite cavalry in front of him, with a sense of courage to fight forward... He was really troubled.

At this time, the Liao army's heavy cavalry was retaliating against each other. The first cavalry was very powerful. When they passed by the Zhou army's knights, they took a knife and killed several people in a row. The Zhou army cavalry then opened their bows and arrows to shoot them. The arrows could not penetrate the heavy armor. The Liao cavalry was covered in iron armor, even the horses had armor, and they were holding a round shield in their left hand.

A young general in the Zhou army shouted: "Guo Lang, hurry up | shoot that guy!"

The man who shot Zhang Yuanhui, the most powerful general in the Northern Han Dynasty, was in the army. Everyone hoped that Guo Shao would shoot the Liao army quickly to reduce casualties. In a hurry, Guo Shao took the arrow from the quiver pot and set the strings, aiming at it with an arrow... But even he himself did not expect that the arrow would deviate from a long distance and flew directly over the head of the cavalry.

Guo Shao was stunned and furious. While running, he shot two arrows in a row, but none of them shot.

The soldiers were shocked. At this moment, some people might doubt that Guo Shao's extraordinary achievements are credible, or that he is simply an impostor!

The Liao army's strong general was still rushing straight from the left wing. He was very skilled in jumping up and down on the horse's back, as if he was performing a miscellaneous show, but he was quite flexible in heavy armor. The cavalry on both sides seemed to be in the wrong position, and the speed was fast, and the opportunity to get close was very short, and he could only pass one or two moves. The Liao army's strong general fought with several knights one after another, not only was he not eliminated, but he also killed the two people who were dismissed.

Guo Shao thought, riding and shooting were all different things. Seeing that the guy was about to arrive, Guo Shao calmed down and quickly put away his bow, pulled out the sword from his back. The long handle and long body weapon can effectively increase the attack distance, and the infantry and cavalry used it together. If the riding and shooting failed, he had to prepare to fight in close combat.

At this moment, Yang Biao shouted, "Brother, let me do it!" So, Luo Mengzi and he rode their horses over Guo Shao's position. Soon they approached the Liao army general. Yang Biao shouted loudly, waved the iron knife with both hands and swept across the waist. Unexpectedly, the Liao man leaned back and his upper body was pressed against the horse's back. He suddenly became short, and Yang Biao's sweep was lost, and the two sides immediately crossed.

The Liao general then met Luo Mengzi. Luo Mengzi held an ugly-looking rough iron hammer and approached the Liao cavalry sideways, then swung the hammer and smashed it down. The Liao people caught it with a shield, and a loud "clang" sound, and the war horses under their seats neighed, but the Liao general was steadily unaffected at all. Instead, he used a shield to push the hammer behind Luo Mengzi... Luo Mengzi was originally leaning to the left in order to hit the opponent's horse's back, but the center of gravity was unstable. Now he was pushed and fell straight from the horse's back... Luo Mengzi has always been a small infantry soldier, and he may not be much better than Guo Shao at once. Among the three brothers, only Yang Biao has ridden more horses, and he has done it for a long time.

"Haha..." The Liao general turned around and laughed at Luo Mengzi loudly, while snatching the horse to the left and avoided it slightly, and sat upright on the horse's back.

But before his laughter had fallen, he was shocked to see a Zhou army general rushing out from behind. This person was Guo Shao. Luo Mengzi had just fallen off his horse and had no time to get up on the ground. The subsequent Liao cavalry would trample on him. If the iron hooves were trampling on Luo Mengzi's big belly, the scene was too beautiful, and Guo Shao could not imagine it.

Guo Shao's method was quite stupid, but it was very timely. He just rushed out diagonally and immediately met a Liao cavalry running. When that was the case, the situation was like on the road, everyone was driving on their own lane, and suddenly a guy rushed to the opposite lane! The Liao cavalry running up hurriedly pulled the horse, and the horse could not avoid it at such a close distance, and could not stop inertia. With a "bang", the shoulder hit the middle of Guo Shao's mount. The riding horse neighed in pain and fell to the side. Guo Shao took advantage of the momentum to rush to dismount. His double armor and weight were about 200 pounds and he fell heavily to the ground. He was suddenly confused and the stars in front of him flew around.

At this time, Luo Mengzi had already climbed up and rushed to rescue Guo Shao. Guo Shao was in pain all over his body. He gritted his teeth and got up. He looked at the Liao general who was running ten steps alone with his head down to search, and found that his bow fell to the ground, so he picked it up. He tied his fingers on his right hand, and he immediately took the arrow from the quiver. The two-stone strong bow was used by the soldiers of the training department to practice arm strength. It was basically no one to use it in actual combat... One-stone two-stone bow was already a strong bow, and most of the step-shooting equipment was eight-stone bow.

Guo Shao was angry and embarrassed, and immediately pulled the two stone bows into a full moon with fierce force, aiming at the guy at close range of ten steps. The Liao general turned around and saw Guo Shao picking up the bow and arrow, so he raised the round shield to protect the vital point. "Bang!" The bowstring trembled, and an arrow roared away, and the heavy arrow suddenly penetrated the round shield!

Even the double protection of the round shield and armor could not save the Liao general. He screamed and the guy was finally dismissed.

Guo Shao was embarrassed for a while before and was furious. He stood there and shot hard, "Bang!"... "Bang!"... The string sounds constantly.

Usually when people use bows and arrows in melee, the bows are not full due to the close distance and their physical strength is exhausted. But Guo Shao didn't care about many things for a while, and he was a strong bow. The Liao soldiers who rushed up one after another, one arrow was accurate and fierce, and the heavy arrows pierced the armor again and again. After a while, seven or eight empty horses ran past him.

After killing seven or eight people, Guo Shao was angry and exhausted, and finally stopped. He suddenly felt his arms were soft and sore, his palms were full of sweat, and his fingers were shaking, and he could no longer calm down.

"Guo Lang is mighty!" A general in the Zhou army shouted loudly from the side when he saw him killing people.

At this time, Yang Biao and twenty personal soldiers also rode their horses to Guo Shao and protected him. Yang Biao shouted: "All of our teams will be dismounted, and they will fight in the field!"

The entire team was soldiers of various infantry in the Xiaodi Army. They were used to the hard days of hiking operations and could not even play a role in their war horses. It was really a group of infantry riding horses, which was better than infantry fighting. Everyone came down from their horses and picked up their weapons to gather together. There were only four soldiers still riding, and they followed the Zhou army cavalry team that was moving on the flanks, and they were reluctant to leave the war horses behind.

Yang Biao, who was in the front line, was holding a long-handled iron sword in his hand and violently pioneered the way. The heavy cavalry of the Liao people rushed over. The ordinary infantry saw that he was condescending, and they were afraid and only used cherry guns to defend. However, Yang Biao rushed forward with his horse stance and did not retreat. The iron sword in his hand was swinging loudly. People came to kill people, and the horse rushed to kill horses, and looked like a tiger going down the mountain.

It is said that the iron knife commonly used by Zhou Jun generals was evolved from the Tang Dynasty's Mo sword, and I don't know whether it is true or false; but this iron knife, from the long handle to the wide back, was all iron-killed, and was very heavy. It is indeed a weapon that only strong people like to use.

The iron knife in Yang Biao's hand was heavier than almost all long weapons, far more than the hardwood gun rod of the Spear Sakura Spear. When he swept across, his weight and strength took the lead. The enemy soldiers dared not resist. He had a horse face, a hard cheek and a beard. He was angry and fierce, and his body was covered in blood and looked like a murderer | demon, and his aura was also very terrifying.

In the surging horses, Guo Shao's small infantry was moving slowly. Fortunately, a cavalry from the training department was racing left and right nearby, so Guo Shao and the others would not be surrounded or trampled or divided.

At this time, he heard a "swoosh" sound, and an arrow shot on Yang Biao's breastplate. Yang Biao cursed and stretched out his hand and pulled it out. Guo Shao looked in the direction and saw a Liao cavalry not far away lifting his bow to shoot the second arrow. Guo Shao shouted loudly and reached out to take the arrow at the same time.

The Liao cavalry was going to continue shooting Yang Biao, but when he heard the shout, he suddenly found the bow and arrow in Guo Shao's hand. He immediately turned around and aimed at Guo Shao. Guo Shao also raised his bow and looked at him. The two of them looked at each other more than twenty steps. In an instant, "Bang! Bang!" The arrows shot at each other.

Guo Shao first shot an arrow, and his chest was heavy. There was a forged steel plate inside this part, and there was a layer of ring lock armor outside, and the arrow failed to penetrate. Almost at the same time, the Liao soldier in front screamed in pain and threw away the bow and arrow. An arrow had been inserted into his shoulder. The Liao cavalry reached out to cover his shoulder, adjusted his horse and ran.

He was so close that he only shot the shoulder! He was really exhausted with his arms and his hands were not stable. If he hadn't been anxious when he saw Yang Biao's danger, he would have almost pulled out the strong bow. At this time, he immediately looked back and shouted, "Who brought the bow and arrow?" A soldier in the team hurriedly took a bow of relatively normal strength and sent it up.
