Chapter 21: Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat

The sky was getting darker. Xiang Xunjun fought hard, but his troops were limited. In the early stage, he used his courage to penetrate the enemy formation and quickly rushed to kill. Some of the cavalry searched for weak gaps in the formation to fight back and forth, and more people were entangled by the Liao army and fought in a melee, and most of the combat-capable men could not escape.

At this moment, suddenly, Xiang Xun shouted: "Shi Yanchao is right in front, who will rescue him?"

Guo Shao and others followed the cavalry while fighting on foot. The position was low and Shi Yanchao could not be seen. But looking in the direction pointed by Xun, they saw a large group of Liao soldiers and cavalry very densely, which was incredible... The horse soldiers needed to move, and they could easily collide with each other with a little faster speed, so the gap between horses and horses was usually relatively large; but the group of Liao soldiers and cavalry in front were crowded together and surrounded in the middle, and the people and horses basically gave up their movements there because they were so dense that the horses could not run at all.

At that time, a general around Xiang Xun led his troops to rush forward, with only a few dozen cavalry. This was already the majority of cavalry that Xiang Xun could mobile. The general led the way and rushed forward, trying to squeeze out the Liao soldiers who stopped moving. But as soon as he approached, several spears stabbed up. The general was not three heads and six arms, and could not resist it and was immediately stabbed off the horse, and then chopped into a terrible sight.

Another Zhou army knight followed the general and saw that the person in front of him was bloody and turned around in shock. Unexpectedly, he was stabbed in the abdomen with a knife, and then rushed horizontally by the running war horse. The long knife pierced into the abdomen immediately tore the wound. "Ah!" The knight's scream was very terrifying. He fell from the horse and could not die immediately. He lay on the ground and opened his mouth and cried.

His hand covering his abdomen immediately turned dark red, and a piece of intestines flowed out, and the scene was very terrifying.

The Zhou cavalry behind rushed to the Liao army formation and fought a few times, then rode their horses back and forth, and was completely powerless to break the siege.

Yang Biao, who was here, watched for a while, turned around and said to Guo Shao, "Let's go and open the door and let General Xiang's horse soldiers provide timely reinforcements!"

Guo Shao stretched his neck to watch, but saw Zhang Jianxiong still beside Xiang Xun. Zhang Jianxiong was really a powerful general. He saved Shi Yanchao for the first time before, and it was solved with one blow. It would be difficult to achieve it without being fierce... Because the Liao army's cavalry was already powerful enough, this fierce battle was almost the strongest and most endurance ancient army that Guo Shao had encountered since he joined the army.

"Don't be impatient for a while, wait for Zhang Jianxiong to come first." Guo Shao said.

Xiang Xun joined the battle this time regardless of his life, and his tactical goal was to rescue Shi Yanchao; now the surrounded Shi Yanchao is close to him, so he cannot do his best to make his final efforts!

As Guo Shao expected, Xiang Xun forced himself to say a while later: "Zhang Jianxiong, you will immediately break through the Liao formation ahead. If it fails, come and see you!"

"Get orders!" Zhang Jianxiong immediately called on the only horse soldiers around him to turn around and rush towards him. At this time, Xiang Xun was already weak. If a small group of Liao army brigade could break into the center of Xiang Xun's headquarters, the main general would be in danger!

Zhang Jianxiong jumped into the horse and shouted: "The deadline has come. If you don't succeed, you will be successful! Take your all out!"

The tragic and passionate roar made Zhang Jianxiong's image at this moment very dazzling. The courage of the troops doubled, and the morale of the troops gathered on him, and he was immediately as powerful as the three armies!

Zhang Jianxiong took the smallest elite number of elite soldiers as his edge, and he led the way in the middle, rode his horse and rushed, with only twenty or thirty cavalry left behind. The Liao cavalry was arranged in a dense manner, and the spears were as strong as the forest to resist; Zhang Jianxiong's forward first charged at high speed in the first wave, and the war horses instinctively slowed down when they were close to the front of the formation, but the charge in the front section was too fast and could not stop at all. A cavalry weighing thousands of pounds rushed in.

There was only a long shout, and there was a loud bang among the rioters. I don’t know what Zhang Jianxiong’s slashed on something. In the dim light, Mars was clearly seen shining in the dim light. Its powerful sound made Guo Shao think of the powerful force of the stonemason hitting dozens of kilograms of iron hammers on the stone... It is said that the stonemason roared the most fiercely, to prevent too much vibration from causing internal injuries. Thinking about this, any close-killing general who likes to shout before making moves may also be shockproof.

The people in front of them were overturned, and they fought in a ball. The Liao army's cavalry formation was loose and dispersed, and the horse soldiers ran around.

Seeing this, Guo Shao shouted: "It's time for us to come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could order, Yang Biao lifted his knife and strode up. Guo Shao and others hurriedly took off their weapons and followed up to protect their flanks. Yang Biao bravely drove forward, and his iron shoes were heavy on the ground, splashing dust every step, like a locomotive smoking.

This group of Liao cavalry had no mobile phones, similar to infantry, but was sitting higher than infantry, and the array had been scrambled by Zhang Jianxiong, so the left and right could not look at each other. Yang Biao rushed up and started killing people, killing them when they saw them. The loud noise of the swords and soldiers hitting the iron armor made people's ears buzzing.

A Liao soldier was chopped off his horse and was about to rise. He immediately came to the follow-up infantry stabbing. Before he could resist, he was stabbed all over and blood, screaming. Everyone stared at another cavalry near the flank and rushed up again. The Liao cavalry swung his sword to slash the spear that was stabbed, but he was stabbed several times in an instant, and the man and horse were bleeding.

Yang Biao's eyes were red and he rushed to the scene without hesitation. Guo Shao's fierce huluo protected his flanks with a shield hammer, and he acted according to the opportunity and specifically covered him. There was a fierce general charging, like a sharp knife, so Guo Shao didn't have to fight to the death. Moreover, he was not good at long spears, sabers and other long weapons.

Guo Shao and Yang Biao fought from Gaoping to Jinyang, fought for their lives several times, and they had a very tacit understanding of each other... Yang Biao took the lead and suppressed the scene with violence and power. Guo Shao's strength is that he is good at understanding the situation. When Yang Biao was at the most dangerous time, he always took action in time, and often had to make trouble if he was slow. His ability was probably achieved by practicing bows and arrows for a long time, because the bows and arrows need to be good at observing, especially for moving objects, he must not only observe its movements, but also guess and understand its motivation.

After a while, Guo Shao followed Yang Biao to break into the siege first. When he looked up, he saw a circle of corpses inside, including Liao soldiers, Zhou soldiers, and many horse corpses. In one place, it was piled up and almost turned into a simple fortification, with a pool of blood on the ground. Guo Shao thought he had gone to the wrong place and mistakenly entered the slaughterhouse!

Shi Yanchao fought to death with dozens of wounded people inside, and all the horses were gone and surrounded by the Liao army. Under the fierce beating and shooting of the Liao army, in a moment, Shi Yanchao fell down from both sides and the situation was at a critical moment. The Liao people may have known that this guy was Shi Yanchao, and he was going to kill him at all costs... The personal soldiers of the first powerful general were really not that easy to do, and it was so miserable to see them!

The most strange thing is Shi Yanchao himself. This guy is the tallest and most eye-catching, and his body is covered with arrow feathers, especially on his back, which looks no different from a hedgehog. What's even more strange is that this guy is not dead yet! The Liao soldiers are skilled in bows and horses, but after shooting so many arrows, they didn't kill him... It can be seen that precise archery techniques like Guo Shao's shooting Zhang Yuanhui are rarely found in the world; perhaps this thing not only requires hard practice, but also requires talent.

The Liao army here does not have "Shao Ge'er", so Shi Yanchao can stand there.

Guo Shao really got pregnant and had never seen someone shot like this... I don't know, but I thought he was doing a straw boat to borrow arrows! It's not for borrowing arrows, how could he get so many shots?

"Shi Forward!" Guo Shao shouted.

Shi Yanchao looked back at him and finally recognized him as a friendly army of Zhou Bing. After a while, Zhang Jianxiong also tore open the Liao formation and led the cavalry to rush in.

Once the siege was resolved, Shi Yanchao was not stupid. He quickly ran to this side with his sword, and a few more arrows were added on his back halfway. The personal soldiers were not able to run much, and most of them were injured and hung in one breath. Shi Yanchao waved the array as soon as he walked, and the Liao cavalry swarmed up and quickly divided the area, screaming from behind.

The group of people gathered together and fled. The Liao cavalry chased and encountered Xiang Xun's personal cavalry and the situation was slightly slower.

At this time, Guo Shao discovered that Xiang Xun's troops had shrunk and concentrated from the surrounding area, and nearly half of the troops were lost, so the space for movement was even smaller. Looking back, there was reinforcement from the Liao army in the south, and Xiang Xun's troops who came to rescue were all trapped in a large encirclement.

The reinforced Liao army reserve team even chaoticed the right wing of Shi Yanchao's main force who fought head-on, and Shi Yanchao's army almost collapsed. In such a bad battle situation, they did not scatter in a row, perhaps because they felt that Shi Yanchao was not dead yet, and they also placed their hopes on the reinforcements.

Fortunately, the sky became dark in a short while, with stars but no moon. The troops fighting in front of them had no chance to shine on torches, and the light was extremely dark. Guo Shao and others found their mounts and followed Xiang Xun's troops to fight in the chaos. Everyone finally rushed out of the Liao formation with their remaining elite cavalry. Nearly 400 cavalry of Xiang Xun have now been lost. After Shi Yanchao's main force was defeated due to the right wing, they fled all the way back and were killed by the Liao army, and they were in chaos.

The soldiers fled south together, and soon encountered the infantry lined up behind them. The light was dim and the vision was unclear. The retreating cavalry ran around and rushed away the camp. The infantrymen who were avoiding their own people first, and soon scattered and ran away.

The infantry and cavalry ran around in the dark and were defeated. Today, the Zhou army's Shi Yanchao's troops and Xiang Xun's troops lost more than 4,000 people in one day, and there were countless casualties.

The only thing that was okay was that Xiang Xun's tactical goal had been achieved, and he finally saved Shi Yanchao, who had left half of his life.

Everyone was speechless all the way, and Guo Shao didn't want to say a word, and he felt exhausted all over. If it weren't for the pursuit soldiers behind him, he would have wanted to lie down on the side of the road now.

At this moment, the hedgehog Shi Yanchao suddenly turned around and asked, "What's your name?"

"Guo Shao." He didn't want to say one more word, including which army he belonged to. But after thinking about it, he still said: "Although we were the first to break through the siege, the person Shi Qianfeng should be grateful to is General Zhang Jianxiong."
