"The first command captured the top of the mountain, and the Shu army surrendered!" A soldier ran and shouted while running on the mountain road.

Guo Shao and the surrounding generals and officials were overjoyed, and there was an uproar in laughter. Zuo You said: "Wang Zhaoyuan, who called himself Wolong, did not say that he had 'only guarded' for half a year, but now he hasn't been guarding it for a day!"

"Haha..." The generals burst into laughter.

After a long time, the soldiers on the mountain carried their own bodies and drove them to capture them. Everyone saw that the corpses and armor on the wooden frames had deformed, and the people were even more bloody and terrible, and their laughter stopped a little.

At this time, Zhou Tong was holding a square face and shouting. Guo Shao didn't know the big man, but it looked so miserable. The armor was covered with blood. In the gap at the edge of the plate armor, the blood on the chain mail seemed to be covered with mud. You could smell a fishy smell unique to human blood from afar. There were at least a dozen arrows inserted on his body, and the plate armor had been deformed to the shape of the original one. There were bumpy pits and broken on it. I don't know how many weapons I got caught. There were also two arrows on the chain mail on his legs, and he limped and was helped by Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong looked a little better, but he was also shot and left many traces on his armor. It seemed that he rushed up to fight in person.

"The head of the capital of the first capital, Zhang Jiankui." Zhou Tong, "If it weren't for him and his brothers fighting to the death, Mo Jiang would have been chopped into meat pie. Breaking through the city gate, he would be the first person to rush in."

Guo Shao's eyes saw Zhang Jiankui's face from Zhou Tong's face, and he saw his mouth twitching in pain. Guo Shao paid attention to his palms, his hands trembling, and blood was still dripping from his fingertips. Excessive force or an injury to his arms, sometimes his hands trembled, Guo Shao's experience.

Guo Shao didn't say much, so he took out a piece of gray cloth from his waist bag, stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Jiankui's hand, wiped the blood on him, and asked, "Is it seriously injured?"

The man's expression immediately became excited, and his shiny eyes seemed to be like Guo Shao was not alone but a bunch of high-ranking and generous titles; coupled with the man's attitude of enduring pain, his face was distorted, and his expression was really weird.

"Skin trauma!" said the man hurriedly, "Don't worry, Guo Du asked for a check-in. I can go to the battlefield and kill the enemy again for a few days."

"You can't wear armor." Guo Shao patted the big man's chest, but he gritted his teeth and endured it in pain. Guo Shao said again: "Come on, help me remove the plate armor, and Zhang Jiankui wears mine."

Zhang Jiankui hurriedly said: "It cannot be used, it cannot be used."

Guo Shao smiled and said, "It's useless to wear such a thick armor. I won't go up and fight... I have to live. Don't you expect me to reward me for me for me to get merit and get promoted?"

After hearing this, Zhou Tong and Zhang Jiankui smiled, and the generals couldn't help laughing. The warrior seemed to be so direct.

At this moment, a soldier walked quickly and shouted from a distance: "Report! Bei Zhi was sent by Dong Qianfeng!" Luo Mengzi, who was beside him, glanced at him and said: "Brother, he is a member of the 'Sendors' brigade."

The soldiers were released to hand over the memorial. Guo Shao read it quickly and handed it to Zuo You who was nearest to see it.

"Heavy armor commands the soldiers to rest. Zhou Tong, come on a list later and write down all the credits of the soldiers." Guo Shao said, "Let's talk about it when we go back to the flag ship."

In the afternoon, Dong Zunhui was seen riding a small boat downstream and coming to the central army. He found the warship with the largest flag "The Great Marshal of the World" and climbed onto the boat from the rope ladder.

Soon, a map outlined by a brush was hung in the cabin, and military generals above the military capital and important civil servants such as Wang Pu were present to discuss the matter. Guo Shao ordered Dong Zunhui to explain to everyone the deployment of the Wuxia defense line of the Shu army.

"This is Wuxi (Daning River), which is all the way to the east, near Guizhou. It is Wuxia, one of the three gorges of the Yangtze River, with a total length of 80 miles." Dong Zunhui's words were concise and organized, and he explained the location clearly in a few words.

When Guo Shao saw him performing calmly in front of everyone, he was very satisfied with him in the first sentence... Not to mention this cheap nephew, he was from a military general family, not only had martial arts and rules, but also had good talents in all aspects.

Dong Zunhui said: "It's only a few miles east of Wuxi, and the Shu army has two lines of defense, water and land. I have investigated from multiple sources and guessed that the total force is more than 10,000. Judging from its deployment, this line of defense mainly plays a barrier, with the purpose of blocking our army of water and land.

The Shu army set up a Suojiang floating bridge on the water, with triple wooden fence defense, stone cannons on both sides of the shore, and heavy troops to defend. This section of the river is in Wu Gorge, and the water flow is relatively fast. Our warships are slow and hard to sail, and are easily burned and damaged by water trucks. It is extremely difficult to break the defense from the water. Two miles east of the pontoon bridge, the Shu army has shore fortifications in front of the Suojiang defense line, and rely on the advantage of the heavy troops to defend layer by layer.

Perhaps this is the case with the military situation. The vanguard was unable to break through the Shu army's defense line and had stopped advancing several miles away."

Guo Shao immediately said: "Our army is not good at water battles, and it is also urgent to go against the current. It is not a good move to break through the water. I think we should still attack from the shore. As long as we break through the fortifications on the shore, the Lock River Floating Bridge will be no barrier."

The generals agreed, and the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army did not want to fight on the river. Many people just took a boat and would vomit, let alone fight... If they were mainly attacking the Yangtze River waterway, they could only let the navy's people go, and the imperial guards had to watch the show.

Shi Yanchao said carelessly: "What else can I do? Just one road, meet in a narrow road, just fight!"

Although Shi Yanchao said it lightly, it was really reasonable. The Shu Road is so wide, and the widest place is not too open. He didn't know the roads in the mountainous areas on both sides, and there was no place to use any strategy here... I'm afraid even if Zhuge Kongming is alive, he would not be able to use any tricks.

"Dong Zunhui, you lead the vanguard to attack from the shore, and the central army will then come to reinforce." Guo Shao did not discuss it and ordered directly.

Dong Zunhui clasped his fists and said, "I'll get the order."

Shi Yanchao snorted: "Guo Du asked me to play the striker, probably better?"

"General Shi is asking for a fight?" Guo Shao asked calmly.

Shi Yanchao said: "Forget it, let Dong Zunhui test it first. If he can't take it down, I'll go up again."

After hearing this, Dong Zunhui looked very embarrassed, but his temper was not very irritable, so he didn't care about Shi Yanchao. He pretended not to hear it. He immediately took the order to bid farewell and left the cabin.

Guo Shao turned around and asked Shi Yanchao: "I can't use horse riding on Wuxia Road, so how about General Shi's infantry battle?"

Shi Yanchao laughed and said, "Guo Du is also a person who can go on the battlefield to kill the enemy. I don't know. Riding a horse can make martial arts and dismounting is more comfortable. Is there any problem? I only heard that people who are fighting in the field will not be able to get on the horse if the horse is not good."

Shi Yanchao's words were disrespectful, and the faces of several generals such as Yang Biao and Guo Shao's confidants were very unwilling. However, Guo Shao smiled and said disrespectfully: "The latter is me who is said to me. I am from a general, so I am not very skilled when I use the weapon to get on the horse."

The crowd discussed it all, then they dispersed and continued to march with the army.

Zuo You stepped back and stepped forward and spoke again: "Lord, there are few people who like Shi Yanchao, and he is disrespectful to you. When he caught the handle, he used him to warn him to serve as a warning and establish his lord's prestige in the army! What the Zhou Dynasty lacks the most is the general, and it is not that he can't be missing."

Guo Shao immediately shook his head and said, "There are no shortage of powerful generals, but there are not many people with Shi Yanchao's reputation."

Zuo You didn't understand.

Guo Shao said kindly again: "Shi Yanchao knows the rules very well in the battle formation, that is, he is just a little arrogant in normal times. This is not something that cannot be tolerated... Besides, prestige does not rely on killing one's own people to create high-pressure terror. The most reliable thing is to win. The greater the achievements, the more people recognize us."

Zuo You sighed, "It makes sense for the lord to think so."

Guo Shao said calmly: "Everyone needs a sense of security when it comes to others... There is nothing wrong with people like Shi Yanchao, and the soldiers will certainly feel that they are very safe. Not only are the generals in the military but also the clans in various places. We must make them feel that as long as they abide by the rules and stand in the right place, their lives will be safe and reliable, so they are unwilling to take risks and find a way to make you die."
