Xin's mouth, yellow sand is everywhere in the sky.

Legend has it that Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han, was surrounded by the Huns, fought to the death and broke through, and fled all the way to escape.

Liu Bang was very happy to survive the disaster and named this place Xinkou, which means a very happy mouth.

The blood of our ancestors had already flowed all over the mountains and rivers. The Huns, Turks, Uighurs, Khitans, and Han people had all come here. The ancients fought bloody battles here, but today people still continue to do so.

As soon as Guo Shao walked to this place, he was immediately shocked when he saw the mountains and rivers.

There are mountains on both sides. Looking into the distance, there are shadows behind the mountains. The shadows of the mountains are like huge clouds pressing against the ground from the sky.

The sun hangs west, the sky is clear, the ground is very dry, and a large fog of dust is stepped on by people.

Guo Shao followed Xiang Xun and immediately stepped onto a small hill, and the sound of killing in front suddenly became louder.

Thousands of troops appeared in front of you, and the desolate Xinkou Army Town seemed very small, just like a lonely boat in the sea of ​​people, swaying and sinking.

The Liao army in the north was obviously crowded, with the killings in front of them turning over, and the horse soldiers behind them were arranged in a row and in a row.

The Zhou army was all on the front line, without any reserve team, and the entire battlefield was filled with dust and flags, and the battle was inexorable.

In this situation, the total scale of the battle between the two sides is not ten thousand or eight thousand.

There are so many people, so lively, but it makes people feel lonely inexplicably... Perhaps because of the fact that the army that fought was not seen, there was a deserted area everywhere.

The main forces of the Liao army are here, and even if we reinforce, it will be a drop in the bucket.Xiang Xun saw the scene clearly and immediately said something.

Zhang Jianxiong cursed angrily: The man surnamed Shi is still fighting. Does he think he can defeat the Liao army?

Xiang Xunjun set up his formation behind the hillside, and remained silent for a while.

After a closer look, everyone finally understood the situation on the battlefield.

Most of the cavalry on the front of the Zhou army could not break through the Liao army's front, and only a group of people had already entered the depths of the Liao army.

The number of people was not large, and they rushed left and right among the thousands of Liao troops, and were surrounded by large numbers of Liao soldiers on all sides. It seemed that Shi Yanchao and his followers must be, only he would be so fierce!

Although the cavalry inside rushed left and right, they could not have any impact on the army that had been spread a mile wide, and did not shake the Liao army.

However, they looked very strong and were not eliminated for a long time... If they did not break through, it would only be a matter of time.

Xiang Xun looked back at the generals and said: Today's important matter is to rescue Shi Yanchao and withdraw him back to Xinzhou.

Lord... Zhang Jianxiong was about to speak again, and he seemed to have a deep prejudice against Shi Yanchao.

But he was immediately stopped by Xiang Xun, who said: Shi Yanchao is the number one general in our dynasty, and his reputation is revealed to the entire army.If he dies in battle, then hundreds of thousands of troops in our dynasty will be taken away!Morale will be greatly weakened, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

After hearing this, the generals accepted it.

Xiang Xun pointed at the distance with a horse whip: The front and rear junctions of the right wing of the Liao army were weak, and Shi Yanchao was also on the right.Zhang Jianxiong, you immediately lead the elite cavalry to attack his right wing; Shi Yanchao is a veteran in the battle formation. When he sees the situation, he will inevitably drive eastward and attack on both sides, which can eliminate Shi Yanchao's siege.

The last one will get orders!Zhang Jianxiong took the order and left.

Soon, one or two hundred elite cavalrymen emerged from the army, with strict armor and weapons, and the soldiers were brave. However, Xiang Xun's cavalry did not have armor and still belonged to light cavalry.

This horse soldiers were divided into four strata in front and back. The front army was full of cavalry and spears, and the back ones were either slashing sabers or bows and arrows. Each row of weapons was relatively uniform, and it looked very neat and beautiful.

They jog and move forward after they move out.

At this moment, a group of horse soldiers moved from the flanks to stare at Zhang Jianxiong's troops in the army that did not participate in the war in the rear of the Liao army.

Zhang Jianxiong's troops were intercepted on the right wing, and both sides rode and shot one by one.

Then the first wave of cavalry in Zhang's army rushed towards each other, and the two sides fought against each other. The cavalry group rushed and slashed, and the people were on their backs and horses fought in a regiment.

However, the two horse soldiers in the middle of Zhang's army did not rush into the battle group, but continued to pounce forward in a roundabout way.

When Zhang Jianxiong arrived at the planned location, he immediately launched a charge and rushed into the junction of the Liao army.

As Xiang Xun foresaw, Zhang Jianxiong led his army to the enemy formation in one wave of charge.

Shi Yanchao, who was trapped in the enemy formation, discovered the movement and turned his direction to support reinforcements to the right wing.

Not long after, the Liao army's flank was penetrated from the middle, and Shi Yanchao received reinforcements and broke through the siege.

The formation was almost full of war horses, and the horse soldiers on both sides rushed back and forth, like a whirlpool of waves in a typhoon.The horse's hooves collapsed so hard that the land was trembling.

Unexpectedly, the horse soldiers who had joined the flank did not retreat and continued to charge in the loose position of the Liao army.

Not long after, the Liao army did not enter the battle, and a large number of horse soldiers began to dispatch one after another, and reinforcements came from the right wing.

Zhang Jianxiong's men turned around and rushed out to the south. The Liao reinforcements almost followed Zhang Jianxiong, spreading like a tide; Zhang Jianxiong led his army to run, and many people were chased and killed, and people kept falling off the horse... Shi Yanchao did not come out because it was easy to see a place of dust in the surging horses, as if there was a thorn in the ground thorn in it.

Zhang Jianxiong ran while fighting, but fortunately he was a cavalry, and he had to get out of his hard battle.

After a while, he saw him coming up with blood on his face, and jumped off the horse and cursed: Shi Yanchao is going to die, no wonder others!I have lost so many people!

Xiang Xun was frowning and asked: Did you see him? Are you rude?

Zhang Jianxiong spit out a mouthful of blood: How dare I ruin the lord’s affairs?Without saying anything, he advised him to break out first and then make a fool of himself... By the way, I also told him that there were not many reinforcements.

Xiang Xun asked: How did Shi Yanchao reply to you?

Zhang Jianxiong immediately looked angry again: He said, "Sir, watch the battle well on the side and see how I break the Liao army formation... Damn it!

The generals looked at each other and sighed.

Suddenly, Xiang Xun slapped his forehead and sighed: I have harmed Shi Yanchao!

Why did the lord say this?The generals asked hurriedly.

Xiang Xun said: I shouldn't have received the military order of the King of Guards. If someone else came to save Shi Yanchao, he might appreciate it!

A general advised: The lord doesn’t have to blame himself.Shi Yanchao was reluctant to throw away his subordinates. If he was defeated, his troops would be suppressed by the Liao army and the casualties should not be calculated in detail.That's why he fought hard and wanted to retreat to the Liao army... He didn't leave, but he had nothing to do with his lord.

Shi Yanchao's life is more important than the general's.Xiang Xun reached out to the hilt of the sword.

Let's wait for the general.Guo Shao suddenly said in his voice.

The generals turned to look at Guo Shao behind him and said to Xun: What do you have to say?

The last general thought that General Xiang could wait a little longer.Guo Shao's voice was very calm. Has the general saved the drowning person?When the drowning person just fell into the water, he was still in physical strength and was panicked.If he goes down to save a person immediately, he will press his headband and neck. Not only will he be unable to save him from danger, he may also be implicated and drowned.When there is not enough manpower, the best way to save people from drowning is to wait. When the drowning person is exhausted, then take action, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.

After hearing this, Xiang Xun looked at Guo Shao's expression with great interest, unconsciously letting his hand go from the hilt of the sword, pondering for a moment and asking: In Guo Lang's opinion, when will it be the time to save Shi Yanchao drowning?

Guo Shao pointed to the battle formation ahead: In the Liao formation, the ball of dust raised by Shi Qianfeng's troops had not changed in speed.Therefore, it can be speculated that even if the personal soldiers around Shi Qianfeng were attributable to their reduction in personnel, the combat power had not yet dropped sharply, it would not affect his rushing speed.When they are tired and the casualties and casualties reach a certain level, they will inevitably be unable to fight and the dust in the sky will stop moving.At this time, he took action and cleared his siege, and the Forward Shi would be unable to fight again... unless he was determined to die.

Xiang Xun asked back: If you don’t know the right time, or if you fail to rush forward and fail to rescue the siege in time, resulting in Shi Yanchao’s death in battle, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?

Guo Shao said: If not, even if the siege is resolved, will Shi Fengfeng be willing to stop?

Zhang Jianxiong echoed: I think Guo Lang’s method is right!Shi Yanchao just couldn't cry until he saw the coffin. We tried our best to rescue him, but he didn't appreciate it. When the Liao army reinforcements came over, we would have to spend all of our troops in the formation if we didn't leave!

Then wait a little longer.Xiang Xun calmed down and said.

The sun gradually moved westward and reached the top of the mountain. At first glance, it did not move, but after a while, you could find that it had dropped a little more.

Xiang Xun's troops stopped on both sides of the road, and the whole army remained motionless. This side was very calm; the sound of killing sounds in front of them were shocking, and the army and horses were galloping, and the battle had reached the point where they were alive and dead. The ground was full of corpses of people and horses, and some unowned horses ran around the battlefield.

Although the two armies fought head-on overall, the front line has always been turbulent.In the cavalry war, the army did not stop and ran, but rushed back and forth, intertwined.

After a long time, the flow of yellow dust running around the Liao army slowed down... It seems that Shi Yanchao is no longer able to do it. No matter how fierce he is, he will definitely die once he is surrounded and cannot move.

Xiang Xun also found signs and turned around and asked Guo Shao: Do ​​Guo Lang think the time has come?

Please make a decision with the general!Guo Shao said with his fist.

Only then did Xiang Xun look back: All the horse soldiers, follow me to fight!

Get order!Get order!

Guo Shao and others finally turned around, looked down at the battlefield scene from a high place, and then got on the horse and followed Xiang Xun down the hillside.A general shouted loudly: The cavalry is on the horse and ready to attack!

The generals rode their horses through the various horses, shouting to boost morale, and issue various military orders.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves rang out in pieces, hundreds of elite cavalrymen were dispatched at the same time, and the horse gradually accelerated from small steps, and then jogged to the battlefield.

As he got closer, Xiang Xun reached out and pulled out his sword and raised it high.

The soldiers flattened the spears and sabers they were carrying, and swish... Another metal sound of swords being unsheathed, like a music without melody, rough, simple, yet full of enthusiasm.
