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 sand on the river beach, and were in high spirits.
Good horse!This is the second time that 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 big man seemed to be about to flow out.
Guo Shao said: General Shi likes this horse?
Shi Yanchao didn't say anything.After hearing this, Dong Zunhui couldn't help but mutter: I bought this good horse for thousands of stagnation.I am willing to give it to my uncle, but...
So expensive?Guo Shao was slightly surprised. Thousands of stakes are not decimals.It has always been one thousand copper coins, and 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 to do it.
Shi Yanchao snorted coldly: Not rare!
Guo Shao smiled and said: "The horse was given to me by Dong Zunhui. It is inappropriate for me to give it to General Shi in such a simple way."In this way, let’s compete. Did the fishing village there see it?Whoever runs to the end will lose the mount!
Shi Yanchao immediately said: Guo Du said this seriously and wouldn't he betray the debt?
Guo Shao said: I am willing to accept the loss by betting.
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 the 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, Dashuai Guo.Lord, slow down...
Guo Shao turned over the horse and patted the horse's face.He called a messenger and stood beside him with a gong.Guo Shao turned to Shi Yanchao and said: You are 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 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: Damn it!
Guo Shao calmed down and found that Shi Yanchao cherished his horse very much and didn't even have a whip, but the horse ran very fast.
Now I recalled the equestrian 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 immediately, your bones will be broken. Marshal Guo must be careful!
The speed was getting faster and faster, the wind in my ears roared like a roaring wildly and depressingly, and the scene on both sides was completely unseen.
The oncoming wind is filled with great pressure and is pressed on the face, poured into the nose and mouth, making it difficult for people to breathe.
Guo Shao could ride a horse a few years ago, but he had never run so fast.
He began to feel scared. At this speed, he rode on the horse without any protection. He would be injured even if he fell down.
But Guo Shao didn't 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 rapidity and madness, he realized it very quickly under the tension of his wholehearted dedication.
Gradually, he found a balance point at the fast horse. 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 pleasure spread throughout his body. He felt that he was full of strength and passion, and felt that he could fight everything. A self-inflated experience arose naturally.
boom!Boom... The iron hooves of a tall horse weighing two or three thousand pounds were stepped on the sand. The heavy horse hooves made people excited and filled with the most violent and energetic atmosphere.
Guo Shao has never felt the power bursting out of his body so intuitively and directly.He heard his loud heartbeat, hammering his chest like a drum.
Shi Yanchao, who has surpassed him, is gradually shortening the distance with Guo Shao.Guo Shao is chasing against him, and it only takes time to defeat Shi Yanchao!
However, as if the moment had passed, it seemed that a complex of buildings in a fishing village had arrived... Shi Yanchao passed by the house and took the lead in slowing down the speed.
Shi Yanchao slowly strangled the horse, turned his head and gasped, stared at Guo Shao with wide eyes, and looked at the good horse under his seat.After a long time, a large group of soldiers rode their horses to catch up.
Guo Shao flipped off the horse's back and handed over the reins: The horse is yours.
Shi Yanchao's eyes widened even wider, and he took it in public without hesitation, and stroked the horse's neck without any concealment, with a pathological red look on his face.
Dong Zunhui said with a bitter look on his face: What a pity...
Guo Shao said: I didn't give in to him. He won, and he was willing to accept the loss.I'm really sorry, I lost Dong Qianfeng's good horse... But I was convinced that General Shi was indeed riding skillful. His weight and horse were not as good as mine, but he still won.
Shi Yanchao said: If you have the will to fight, you can win any horse!
He looked very happy and generously gave his mount to Guo Shao: I am a little bit worse, but much stronger than the average war horse in the army.
good!What a fighting spirit.Guo Shao praised.
At this moment, Lu Chengyong rode over and came forward to deliver a report: Chengdu Prefecture's detailed report of the news.
Guo Shao took it and looked back and said: Xiang Gong's army was blocked at Jianmen Pass, and the general of the Shu army was Han Baozheng.
Shi Yanchao said: Still at Jianmen Pass?This guy is so slow. Should we wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month?I suggest not to persuade the surrender, and directly order Meng Chang to kneel down and surrender, otherwise the iron cavalry will strait Chengdu!
Guo Shao used to think that Shi Yanchao was prone to advance easily and rushed too hard, but he never really understood his feelings... After racing horses just now, Guo Shao understood a little.
Sure enough, the arrogant soldiers and generals of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are all strong people. The weak people want to shock them and convince them?
The iron cavalry cannot steer Chengdu because the horse cannot climb the wall.Guo Shao calmed down and said, I have a plan to march into Mianzhou!
Everyone didn't come to their senses for a moment, but Dong Zunhui first reacted: Is his uncle trying to break the food route of the Shu army in Jianmen Pass from his back?
Guo Shao said: It’s too slow to cut off food, so I attack Jianmen from Mianzhou directly!The inside and outside attacked the sword gate.
Shi Yanchao clasped his fists and said: I am willing to be a striker, only two thousand elite soldiers are needed!I stepped on the Jianmen Pass and couldn't bear to see you!
General Shi, there is no joke in the army.Guo Shao reminded.
Shi Yanchao hummed: Guo Du pointed out the implication of the prosecutor. I can't take them from my back, but I can't take them down, hum.
After hearing this, Guo Shao looked happy: Zuo You, I will issue an ultimatum to the pseudo-Shu king, and you can give preferential treatment to open the city within five days.The army is ready to advance to Mianzhou tomorrow!
...Shi Yanchao got Guo Shao's good horse, and seemed to be more pleasing to Guo Shao. He looked at others with a slant, but he had to be more respectful when talking to Guo Shao.
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Guo Shao took the opportunity to ask: I have watched the battle many times, and General Shi was very sharp in breaking the formation. Whether facing the horse team or the square formation in a row, he would 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 didn't want to say it.
Shi Yanchao said: We have 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, his upper body twisted and he threw the iron spear out.
The iron spear was throwing faster than the war horse, and with the speed of the war horse charge, it was very powerful and pierced through 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 be penetrated, the soil flew and the dust rose.
Hold!Guo Shao turned around and said, "Go to see if there are anyone in the room."
A general next to him said: We have sent someone to check, and the people have all run away.
Shi Yanchao came back and said: Did Guo Du check and see clearly?
that's all?Guo Shao said in a daze.
Shi Yanchao said: My personal 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 see that we are prepared to rush, it is difficult to deal with; if the front is overturned, the heavy cavalry rushed forward and stabbed and penetrated the back queue.It is better to face infantry. Kill the ones who hold the spear in front. As long as there is a gap, there is no one that will not collapse.
A good idea... Guo Shao thought about something.
Shi Yanchao said: It is best to deal with infantry. If the infantry cannot move in front of the formation, if you can't break through, change the place.However, when encountering cavalry with long weapons, sometimes they are useless. When the gun is thrown out, the opponent is sparse and can counterattack. If the long weapons rush over and reach the opponent first, we will suffer a lot.
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 Dashui’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 is also amazing that being a martial artist can achieve this level.
Guo Shao stood in front of the horse for a while, thinking that I was not good at riding and shooting, but this shot is much simpler.
So I was going to have an iron gun, and I looked around and found that there was a field on the river beach and a ridge beside the field.
He rode his horse and rushed over, and according to his example, he threw it at him with one shot, but the iron gun flew and flew straight into the paddy field.
Guo Shao cursed, and when he turned around, the generals burst into laughter.
Shi Yanchao seemed to have seen 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.
Guo Shao was not convinced and took another shot, thinking about the similarities with the javelin movements learned in physical education class?
Guo Shao and a group of generals were running horses on the sand on the river beach, and were in high spirits.
Good horse!This is the second time that 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 big man seemed to be about to flow out.
