Three hundred and seventieth chapters have the will to fight
On the Suizhou River beach, there is a vast wilderness on both sides, and only buildings and some low and gentle hills can block the view. The place occupied by the Great Zhou army has entered the hinterland of the Shu basin.
Guo Shao and a group of generals were running horses on the sandy beach of the river and were in high spirits.
"Good horse!" This is the second time Shi Yanchao praised Guo Shao's high horse in the Western Regions. Generals like horses, especially Shi Yanchao is also a cavalry general. The expression of this man seemed to be drooling.
Guo Shao said: "General Shi likes this horse?"
Shi Yanchao didn't say anything. Dong Zunhui couldn't help but mutter, "I spent thousands of guan to buy this good horse. I'm willing to give it to my uncle, but..."
"So expensive?" Guo Shao was slightly surprised. Thousands of guan are not decimals. All the guan is just a thousand copper coins. One copper coins can drink a bowl of tea and eat a cake.
Dong Zunhui said: "If you can buy it for thousands of guan, you still have to have a way."
Shi Yanchao snorted coldly: "Not rare!"
Guo Shao smiled and said, "It was Dong Zunhui who gave me the horse. It is inappropriate for me to give General Shi so much. In this way, we will compete. Did the fishing village over there see it? Whoever runs to the end will lose the mount!"
Shi Yanchao immediately said: "Guo Du said this seriously and will not be able to blame the debt?"
Guo Shao said: "I am willing to accept the loss."
Shi Yanchao was overjoyed. Without saying a word, he pulled out all the armor and weapons on his body, and took off the miscellaneous items carried by his mount. He hesitated slightly and even took off the thick coat on his body. He really didn't know how heavy a piece of clothing could be.
"Be careful, Marshal Guo." "Lord, slow down..."
Guo Shao turned over the horse, patted the horse's face, called a messenger, and stood beside him with a gong. Guo Shao turned to Shi Yanchao and said, "It's ready!"
"Bang!" The gong sounded. The two horses rushed forward from slow to fast.
Guo Shao shook the reins, kicked the horse's belly, threw a whip on the horse's butt, and ran forward with force. Gradually, Shi Yanchao actually crossed half of the horse's body, and was opening the gap at a visible speed! Shi Yanchao's horse must be far inferior to his, otherwise he would not drool. This aroused Guo Shao's anger and cursed: "What!"
Guo Shao calmed down and found that Shi Yanchao cherished horses very much, and didn't even have a whip, but the horse ran very fast. He recalled the equestrian skills that Dong Zunhui taught him, his calves were tightened, his thighs and waist were relaxed, and he took advantage of the momentum to move as the horse's back rose and fell.
Shi Yanchao's voice came from the wind: "If you fall right away, you will break your bones. Marshal Guo must be careful!"
The speed is getting faster and faster, the wind in my ears roaring, as if it is roaring wildly and depressingly, and the scene on both sides is completely unseen. The oncoming wind is filled with great pressure and presses on my face, pouring into my nose and mouth, making it difficult for me to breathe.
Guo Shao could ride a horse a few years ago, but he had never run so fast. He began to feel scared. He rode on the horse with such speed without any protection, and would be injured even if he fell down. But Guo Shao did not stop. Maybe he didn't want to lose his fighting spirit, maybe he didn't want to be ridiculed by Shi Yanchao... In short, he did not slow down.
In the rapid and in the madness, he realized very quickly with all his heart and tension. He gradually found a balance point of fast horses. For a moment, he felt that he had merged with his mount, not the horse running, but the horse running with him.
In the gray area of life and death, Guo Shao had not only fear, but a huge sense of pleasure permeated his whole body. He felt full of strength and passion, and felt as if he could fight everything, and a self-inflated experience arose naturally.
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Guo Shao took the opportunity to ask: "I have watched the battle many times, and General Shi is very sharp in breaking the formation. Whether facing the horse team or the square formation in a row, he will enter the formation with one blow. But what secrets do you have?" He said quietly, "I'm not forcing you, it would be fine if General Shi doesn't want to say it."
Shi Yanchao said: "We want to compare our opponents with the murderer, and no one can stop us from winning."
Guo Shao said: "The Northern Expedition fought a decisive battle with the Liao cavalry in the south of Youzhou. General Shi also rushed into the enemy formation with one blow, so he fell into a heavy siege. Are the Zhou cavalry more fierce than the Liao cavalry?"
Without saying a word, Shi Yanchao took an iron spear from his subordinates, slapped his horse and left, rushed straight towards the fishing village, and flew at the speed of charge. Suddenly, he twisted his upper body and threw the iron spear out. The iron spear was thrown out quickly against the war horse, and with the speed of the war horse charging, it was very powerful. It pierced a door with a "bang". After a moment, it actually collapsed the bamboo mud-milled wall behind the house and flew into the river. Suddenly, the house seemed to have been penetrated, the soil flew, and the dust rose.
"Fuck!" Guo Shao turned his head and said, "Go and see if there are anyone in the room."
A military general next to him said, "We sent someone to investigate, and the people ran away."
Shi Yanchao came back and said, "Have Guo Du checked it clearly?"
"That's it?" Guo Shao said in a daze.
Shi Yanchao said: "My personal heavy cavalry and I rushed forward. No matter whether he was holding a shield or wearing armor, he could penetrate the first row with one move. Usually, when we saw that we were prepared for rushing, it was difficult to deal with the first row; if the front was overturned, the heavy cavalry rushed forward, and then stabbed and penetrated the back queue. It would be better to face the infantry. If you knocked out the spear in front, you would squeeze it up as long as you had a gap, there would be no one that would not collapse."
"Good solution..." Guo Shao thought about something.
Shi Yanchao said: "It is best to deal with infantry. Infants cannot move in front of the formation, and if they cannot be penetrated, they will change places. However, when they encounter cavalry with long weapons, they are sometimes useless. When the gun is thrown out, the opponent is sparse and can counterattack. If the weapons are rushing over, they will be at a disadvantage if they reach the opponent first than us."
Guo Shao asked: "What's the difference between riding and shooting? Riding and shooting can still shoot farther."
Shi Yanchao snorted: "I see that Guo Dashu Guo's cheap nephew Dong Zunhui is a cavalry and shooting tactic, and he is so slow... I don't know what the difference is. Anyway, we rushed up and beat the opponents without resistance, making them scared and call them mothers. I can't explain that kind of thing clearly. If Guo Du found it strange, he would know how happy it would be if he tried it."
Guo Shao felt a little shaking when he heard this. From Shi Yanchao's words, his war was simply a kind of competition and enjoyment. It was also amazing that he could achieve this level as a martial artist.
Guo Shao stood in front of the horse for a while, thinking that I was not good at riding and shooting, but this gun was much simpler. So he wanted to come with an iron spear, and looked left and right and found a field on the river beach and a stumbling block beside the fields. He rode his horse and rushed over, and he wrote the same thing and threw it over, but the spear flew and flew straight into the paddy fields. Guo Shao cursed, and when he turned around, he saw the generals laughing one by one.
Shi Yanchao seemed to see through Guo Shao's thoughts and shouted: "It's really easier than riding and shooting. Guo Du will be familiar with it after practicing it."
