Chapter 86 The river buries the dead

The sky in the northeast was gray, and the sun shone pale from the clouds. Guo Shao rode his horse to the gentle slope in front, and suddenly a piece of Shu army appeared in the distance, with flags like clouds and looked dense. Several sparse cavalrymen were wandering on the road a hundred steps away. These Shu soldiers were really from the hinterland, and the helmets were very different from those worn by the northern soldiers. There was a brim of hats in front; it seemed that it often rained in Shu, and the brim of the hats could prevent rain from flowing onto their faces.

A dozen military soldiers from behind also followed him and watched.

"Get the bow and arrow!" Guo Shao shouted. The personal soldiers brought his two-stone strong bow, and Guo Shao picked up the bow and hit the arrow.

Recently, the Shu soldiers and cavalry were also watching there. They found Guo Shao taking the bow and arrow, but they didn't run away. They seemed to not believe that anyone could shoot him. They suddenly cursed: "Son of the Turtle, shoot me!"

After hearing this, the generals looked at each other.

Guo Shao sneered and pulled the bow... One hundred steps, usually the projectile can be shot so far, but it is difficult to have much accuracy when it hits a point and far. Generally, the one-stone bow used by the military, the one-stone bow used by the northern nomadic peoples only have dozens of steps to shoot straight, and there is no accuracy when it goes far.

"Bang!" With a sound of string, the rider was caught in an arrow and fell down after a moment. The horse fell down from the horse. The horse was frightened and turned around and ran away. Seeing this, other Shu army cavalry dispersed.

"Okay! OK!" The generals laughed and cheered.

Guo Shao threw the bow to his personal soldiers. Looking back at the army behind him, it was like a large group of infantry soldiers like the Shu army. However, the Zhou army did not have drums and trumpets, and did not bring too much things when they came. They were really light and simple. There were only seven or eight flag trees among countless people.

On the right is the Jialing River, and on the left is the mountain. This place is so big, there is no strategy at all, so you can only rush up and fight head-on.

Guo Shao rode his horse back downhill, walked through the gap between the capitals, shouting loudly: "There is no retreat, behind it is the border of Shu Kingdom. The small road is too narrow and cannot be squeezed. The brave ones will win when they meet on a narrow road!"

The troops raised their weapons and shouted loudly, and they looked good. Since entering Shu, they won consecutive victories, and everyone was very confident.

Guo Shao closed his eyes and prayed to the vain no matter what god, but hoped that Qingxu would be fine and the talisman queen would be fine in the future. He suddenly opened his eyes and pulled out the obstacle knife with a stern face... There was no sound of drums and yelling, and communication was all roaring! Guo Shao raised the blade high and shouted in a hissing voice: "Kill!"

"Kill!" The soldiers gathered their eyes, and then shouted with wide eyes, which was deafening.

A vanguard general walked straight ahead, carrying a tassel gun, several knives were prepared on his back and waist, arming them to his teeth. Everyone also followed, and the entire army spread from the road like a flood.

The war has no longer any strategy, rules, etc., and will return to the most brutal and primitive form: killing each other. Wherever people can stand, there are people, and there is no rotation tactics. The people in front will die before the people in the back can get up.

At about sixty or seventy steps, the Shu army, who was waiting for the formation to move, fired the arrow first; then Guo Shao heard a "crackling" sound of strings in the army here, and both sides shot into the sky.

The person holding the sword and shield hurriedly pushed the round shield to the upper side, and the shieldless ones danced on their heads with weapons. As long as the arrows were in the right direction, they all fell into the battle formation. The heavy arrows rushed down and the speed was fast, and someone was screaming "Wow" around.

A big man in front shouted violently, and a group of people began to rush up in the arrows. The Shu army also shouted loudly, and a group of people rushed forward.

In an instant, the scene suddenly became terrible. The running crowds twitched and clanged together. The spear and sword pierced into the armor with the impact force, and the screams suddenly drifted between the mountains and rivers with blood. The people in front of the Shu army met the enemy in the first battle, and the soldiers were shocked. They saw the riots going crazy, picking up the spear and stabbing them on the body, which was completely undesirable.

The Zhou army soldiers rushed forward, and there were many such scenes. They had to experience it every few months, year or two years. Compared to the crazy horse soldiers trampling everything like mudslides, this little bit of a battle is nothing.

"Ah!" A helmet was shot down and his hair was covered in blood and was about to come up. The group of Shu soldiers were shocked and retreated, as if they had seen an evil ghost, but there were also people behind them.

Immediately afterwards, another Zhou army man rushed into the crowd with a shield. The shield hit the armor. He jumped up and swung it down without saying a word. The iron hook pierced into the cheeks of a soldier with a "scream". Before the soldier could react, he pulled back and tear off a large piece of his face and flesh. "Ah...uh..." The painful scream could deaf people's ears, making people's hearts tremble and extremely scary, and blood splattered everywhere around them. The soldier raised his hands in front of his face, looking very terrifying, and was quickly knocked to the ground. The wound might touch the ground and scream even more violently.

Several Zhou soldiers on the ground were stepping on one person, holding spears and stabbing them like pounding rice. How could the young soldiers of the Shu army have seen such a brutal scene in Shu? They panicked and desperately squeezed in the opposite direction of the Zhou army. There was no queue or formation at the front of the two armies, and people killed wildly and fought in a melee.

War is the most direct here, and fighting is to kill people!

Many people had no way to go, and climbed up the steep hillside with their hands and feet, and immediately became living targets for soldiers who could not fight in close combat behind the Zhou army. People shot one by one with bows and arrows, and people kept getting shot from the hillside. Arrow feathers were inserted everywhere on the hillside. From a distance, the feathers at the tail of the arrow were connected into a piece of reeds.

Countless people were squeezed off the road and fell into the Jialing River to the east. They were quickly submerged in the surging river water. The heavy armor made the people who fell into the water look like they were tied up with stones. From time to time, they suddenly burst out and shouted: "Help, save..." But there was a chaotic battle formation that no one could save them, and they were washed away in an instant.

The first army of Zhou army, Du Yuhou, waved his sword on his horse, pointed to the hillside and ordered: "Shoot, shoot and kill those deserters!"

Suddenly, his face changed, his eyes protruded, his sword fell from his hands, his hands covered his throat and his mouth wide open, and his personal soldiers around him jumped and dismounted to save him. He saw an arrow stabbed into his neck, which might have hurt his trachea. He was so afraid as soon as he fell down, his lips were already black, and his legs were kicking around on the ground. The soldiers looked at each other, and some shouted: "General, General..." But he saw that he was no longer saved.

Suddenly, Guo Shao's voice came from the face: "The first commander of the First Army, the commander will immediately take over the military power of the First Army!" It turned out that the main general was staring at the situation ahead.

"Avenge the revenge of the Du Yuhou!" A soldier shouted with red eyes, lifted a mace made of iron, and squeezed forward desperately from the ranks.

Blood was flowing in front, and arrows were constantly shot out from behind, and arrows were flying in the air. The road was like a Shura farm and a slaughterhouse. Countless people were crowded together to fight, and the scene was extremely absurd.

There were countless people who fell into the water and were shot in the arrow. In less than half an hour, the entire Shu army's long team was shaken. The riots tried hard to squeeze back. The team, which had a certain gap in the queue, was like a bus that was crowded, didn't even have room to turn around. Many people were squeezed off the Jialing River... "Don't block the way, let me go!" "Please go, go back!" Everyone felt that they had encountered a fierce ghost, and would rather squeeze into the crowded crowd than stay away from the crazy blood-covered people ahead. The Shu army finally turned around and ran away, and the crowded crowd fled to the northeast. Zhou army was chasing behind, and Guo Shao shouted in his voice: "Let them surrender!"

At this time, the general among the riots shouted: "Leave the weapons and kneel beside the road, so you can avoid death!"

Everyone advanced, and along the way were full of surrendered Shu soldiers, and some places could not be squeezed down. People climbed to the hillside and hugged their heads and stumbled on the ground.

The Zhou army trotted forward and chased. Without stopping to surrender along the way, they were killed from behind and bodies could be seen everywhere. By the afternoon, the first commander of the vanguard had already chased the inn at the foot of Qingniling Mountain. Looking up, there were many people climbing the mountain on the hillside of Qingniling Mountain.

Guo Shao followed the surging army and suddenly saw a temple in front of a mountain, quietly sitting there, surrounded by wild mountains and rivers, no villages were seen. A personal soldier saw him looking at him and shouted, "It's that nunnery, Qingniling Temple."

Guo Shao turned around and looked at it without saying a word.

Everyone rushed into the Qingniling Inn, and were controlled by Zhou soldiers inside and outside. Guo Shao didn't care about the remaining troops of the Shu army who were climbing the mountain and walked straight into the inn. Li Chuyun's voice behind him shouted: "Brother Luo, take people to the foot of the mountain to persuade the surrender, tell the Shu soldiers that there is no place to run away, and Qingniling is still ours in the past!"

Guo Shao quickly walked into the inn, and two corpses hung under the eaves, which made him stunned. The bodies of the two women were wet, covered with blood stains and blood marks. When Guo Shao approached, he smelled a scent of blood and the stench of excrement. He saw that one of the women had become stiff, hanging like a stone; the other black woman was hanging softly there, but she was dead, with a blood hole in her belly.

Jingniang's voice trembled: "Let them down quickly."

Seeing that there were several people kneeling in the room, Guo Shao pulled out the obstacle knife and walked up. An official with a round-collar green robe in front of him hurriedly kowtowed and said, "God of your life, General, we are not the ones we killed!"

Guo Shao asked anxiously: "Where are the other people you arrested?"

"I will lead the general, I know where to lock up..." Guan'er said hurriedly.
