"Boom, boom..." The sound of cannons sounded in the distance, and Guo Shao turned his head and watched for a while. A cannon array on the other side of the city wall seemed to be shooting at the Liao army, but it was obviously useless. A stone lump of fire a mile away was thrown over, with almost no accuracy. He smashed a pit on the ground, which had no lethality to the cavalry at all. He could not be scared, because the distance was too far; the artillery fire hundreds of steps away was not greater than the drum formations nearby.

Guo Shao looked at the situation from a distance and the infantry phalanx outside the central army seemed to have begun to advance and counterattack.

The Liao army attacked the camp, obviously failed to defeat the infantry battle formations of the Zhou army that were already prepared; but Guo Shao did not expect the results of the Zhou army's counterattack. The infantry had to maintain the phalanx attack, which was very slow, and the tactical maneuverability could not be faster than the Liao army. First, the phalanx defense was maintained, and then mainly rely on bows and arrows to attack the cavalry within the range. Although the Hu Ben Army's horse infantry had mobile movements, it was not easy to defeat the Liao army, but the Zhou army in Youzhou lacked mobile forces.

So far, Guo Shao feels that this battle is very passive.

Since the Liao army unexpectedly launched the offensive first, all deployments seemed to be passively dealing with... Not only Guo Shao, but many civil and military officials, including Wang Pu, did not expect the Liao army to take the risk of doing this!

After learning about the situation, Zhou Jun adopted an active defense strategy, he still could not get rid of the passiveness.

Now Guo Shao can only hope to block the west side in time on Hantong's left side. Li Chuyun and Luo Yanhuan made an effort to surround the Liao army outside Youzhou City... And the Zhou army infantry in Youzhou could not count on it. Even if the Liao army's offensive was defeated at this time, what's the use of not being able to catch up?

At this moment, the battle formation was full of dust and chaos. When Guo Shao thought about the overall situation in his mind, he was also a mess, as if countless threads were interspersed and entangled.

With countless preparations in advance, the storm and clouds at this time were very complicated; it seemed that there were omissions everywhere and there were uncertain risks everywhere.

Guo Shao turned his head and looked at Wang Pu on the horse's back, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "I suddenly felt that Wang Zhang's words made sense. We are using cavalry as infantry. The tactics of the Liao army are different from those of the mainland countries."

Wang Pu frowned and expressed his compliments with a serious expression.

At this time, a cavalry with a flag on his back ran to the Zhongjun camp, turned over and dismounted, then ran over, knelt on one knee and said, "Report! The Liao army stopped its attack, and the big group was fleeing north!"

Guo Shao said: "Tell Yang Biao, don't make a rash move."

As for the infantrymen of all walks of life, Guo Shao ignored them... They couldn't keep up even if they wanted to advance.

Soon Guo Shao realized that the order just now was redundant. A general was reporting that Yang Biao's Hu Ben Army was riding and infantrymen were trying to attack the flanks of the Liao army in the northeast, but they were attacked by the Liao army and half of them were defeated!

At this moment, a group of chaotic horse soldiers came to the camp gate. The generals guarding outside the Zhongjun camp shouted and asked, and a voice from afar said: "Honor Yang is back!"

The horse soldiers made way for the road one after another, and saw a man with arrows all over his body like a hedgehog on the horse, and was helped by someone on both sides. The "heedgehog" hung his head, who was not Yang Biao!

Seeing Yang Biao's appearance, Guo Shao suddenly felt his mind buzzing and rushed over.

Yang Biao was covered in arrows, and his blood was blurred with broken armor... Can he still survive?

"Yang Biao!" Guo Shao turned over and dismounted, stared at him, his voice also changed, "Second brother..."

The troops were silent. Unexpectedly, the two of them walked over from behind with a chopping board, and Luo Mengzi lay on his back...

Guo Shao turned around and stared at Luo Mengzi lying, and said in a trembling voice: "Is he injured?"

A general lowered his head and said, "General Luo has... been killed in the battle."

Guo Shao walked to the chopping board and saw Luo Mengzi's face full of blood and motionless. How could there be any movement of life?

Guo Shao stretched out his palm and wanted to touch Luo Mengzi's face. When the palm of his palm touched his nose, he could no longer feel any heat. The breathless chill suddenly penetrated from Guo Shao's palm!

Guo Shao's hand was frozen there and gradually began to tremble. Yang Biao was shot like this and his life was hard to tell, and Luo Mengzi had completely become a dead body... Guo Shao had many generals in his hand, and there were many who were better than the two sworn brothers; but no one could replace them.

In this world, people meet and meet at various times for various reasons, but when they are in poverty and in poverty, they treat each other with their hearts after countless life and death tests. After all, it is not so easy to get.

Loneliness, Guo Shao suddenly felt an inexplicable coldness of loneliness coming.

He blamed himself, and later realized regret. Guo Shao suddenly realized that there were many deployments in this battle, and he lost the initiative but failed to have serious consequences. The biggest mistake... was to let the Hu Ben Army ride a horse infantry and attack the elite cavalry of the Liao army! The Hu Ben Army ride a horse infantry facing the troops of Shu Kingdom, Southern Tang and other countries and could be used as cavalry, but for the sake of maneuvering, it was obviously a huge mistake to fight against the elite cavalry of the Liao army!

The most serious decisions are often covered by too many trade-offs and considerations and cumbersome things.

The blue veins on Guo Shao's forehead tensed up. He clenched his fists and his eyes were shining, but he finally gritted his teeth and did not let the tears come out. He felt a salty heat flow in his throat.

He suddenly felt that the world seemed to be shaking, and his feet staggered.

"Your Majesty..." The ministers hurriedly supported them.

The previous few generals all bowed to the ground: "The last general should die if he is sentenced to death!"

Guo Shao looked back at Yang Biao, who was like a hedgehog, walked up to him and grabbed his hand, but received no response. Wang Pu hurriedly said, "I'm still standing still, so I'll take General Yang down to treat him quickly, and I must save him!"

"Abide by the order!"

Guo Shao looked at Yang Biao who was moved away while sitting on the road, and was a little out of control at this time.

Wang Pu hurriedly advised: "Wait until Han Tong and Li Chuyun join forces to encircle them, wipe out the Liao army in the south, and avenge General Luo!"

...

This time, the Liao army sacrificed their life to attack the Zhou army camp for the Emperor of Great Zhou, and suffered heavy casualties; but the Zhou army also suffered a lot of losses in battle, and many wounded soldiers were carried into the healing camp by the Sanggan River. The doctors, soldiers and civilians inside were busy.

At this time, surgical treatment was naturally very backward, but doctors would also have many methods to treat trauma. In Guan Gong's era, they would scrape bones to heal the wounds, and fractured splints were one of them... But the most useful thing is to clean the wounds in time and simply disinfect them with herbs. This simplest treatment can also prevent the death of many traumatic infections.

Xu Erniang and some folk women cleaned the fabric by the river, and then took it to the pot to cook.

At this time, another group of wounded soldiers were carried in. Xu Erniang immediately dropped the wet cloth in her hand, ran over and asked, "Do you know Zhao Hu? Zhao Hu from the Shenhuhu Capital of the Hu Ben Army...Who knows Zhao Hu?"

At this moment, a soldier lying on a wooden board turned his head and said, "I don't know Zhao Hu, but I saw the divine fire. They were holding firearms, which was very different."

Xu Erniang rushed over and asked anxiously: "Have you won? Did the divine fire win..."

The soldier said, "The Great Zhou army won, but the Liao army was defeated anyway. However, the Divine Fire is a bit miserable. They set fire guns in front of the long spear square formation, and only resisted the horse and rifles to protect... The superior said that they had to counterattack, so they didn't have time to repair fortifications. Besides, we had no time to come out of the barracks to make formations.

The Liao army and the horse soldiers rushed up regardless of their lives. As soon as the fire gun was released, the divine fire collapsed immediately. It was estimated that more than half of the casualties were killed and injured. I heard that all my heads were cut to death. I saw with my own eyes that I was in the first row behind the divine fire, otherwise how could I come back lying down…”

As he was talking, someone said behind him: "I know Zhao Hu."

Xu Erniang looked in the voice and said that the person who was speaking was a man who had just entered the camp and carried the wounded soldiers. The man asked again: "Who are you Zhao Hu?"

Xu Erniang didn't care much and immediately said, "I am him...madam!"

The man frowned and greeted a civilian who came to meet him to pick him up. He gave him to the side of the road and said, "Zhao Hu is dead."

"Dead?" Xu Erniang stood there, staring blankly at the strange man in front of her.

The man nodded and said, "Yes, I'm dead. I'm a miscellaneous soldier from the Divine Fire Capital. When I saw him dead, I was carrying my body... I'm just a miscellaneous soldier. At the end of the Divine Fire Capital, all the people in the city collapsed at that time, so I naturally want to run away."

Xu Erniang was at a loss, and even didn't know where she was. She felt that she had no strength and had almost no strength to speak. She shook her head and said, "I don't believe it."

The man rubbed his palms and frowned and said, "I am a soldier from Shenhuodu. Why do I cheat my wife of my brothers and sisters-in-law? My sister-in-law will be mourning and following the changes." His tone did not fluctuate too much, and he might have seen too many dead people. Besides, Zhao Hu was no different from other soldiers who died in battle.

Xu Erniang bit her lip hard, almost bleeding. She choked and said, "Where is he? I will see it with my own eyes before I believe it..."

The man looked back and pointed: "The dead people are there in the camp over there, and the corpses are sent back to the country... Sister-in-law comes with me, I will take you there."

Xu Erniang staggered and followed the sergeant silently along the roadside. There were people pushing cars or carrying wounded soldiers one after another. She couldn't remember how she got to the camp where the dead bodies were released.

When you walk in, it seems like you have walked into the Hall of Yama from the earth! There are many corpses on the ground inside, and at first glance they are everywhere; there are also many coffins piled up. In addition to the dead, there are also many living people, some of them are soldiers in armor, most of them are civilians, who are busy stripping the dead, cleaning the bodies, and applying lime.

The military man in front suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law really wants to watch it now? I think it's better to wait and see it..."

"Why?" Xu Erniang asked blankly.

Junhan did not answer and did not ask any more questions. He searched around and finally walked to a place, standing in front of a corpse on a wooden frame.
