5days ago traverse Novels 2
Bang!The wooden ladder suddenly pressed on the wooden stake on the wall. A soldier of Zhou hurriedly went up and lifted it. Unexpectedly, an arrow hit his face with a whoosh. The soldier lifted the ladder with a center of gravity in front of him, and when his body was weak, he led his head down from the wall.

At this time, a row of Zhou soldiers picked up their crossbows and walked forward. When they heard the shouts, they were clattering... The enemy soldiers gathered under the wall suddenly screamed; the crowds of people were at most ten steps apart, and they could even hit them with stones.

The row behind him listened to the military order and came forward. He picked up the firearm and blasted again at the bottom, and smoke from the wall rose.Arrows flying around on their heads, jingling on their helmets and shoulder armors, and occasionally injured people.

The Liao army under the city dropped the wooden ladder and turned around and ran, jumping straight into the ditch.

The two men who had just crawled a few steps turned around and jumped down to run. Unexpectedly, just after running a few steps, they were about to meet the crossbow soldiers who had been replaced. All the crossbow arrows were shot at the backs of the two men. The two enemy soldiers fell to the ground, and several crossbow arrows were inserted on their backs.

The Zhou soldiers on the wall were busy rustling with gunpowder and lead bullets, and the crossbow arrows also pulled Titicaca.

After training for several months, I went to the battlefield of Southern Han again. As long as I went to the battle formation, the soldiers of the village army performed very differently and became much more quick.

Moreover, everyone was on the wall, and the Liao army could not reach it, and no matter how powerful martial arts were, it was useless. In the eyes of Zhou army soldiers, it was similar to a target.

Just then, I suddenly heard the horse's hooves roaring in the noise.Yu Liang looked back and saw a fire shining in the distance behind him, like stars in the sky.The imperial guards stationed in Tianjin are here to reinforce.

The Liao soldiers climbed up from the ditch desperately, and the cavalry behind had turned around and retreated.

...Dong Zunhui led three thousand cavalry from Jinzhou to the west overnight, heading north along the Sanggan River to the west of Jinzhou. He traveled for half an hour, and then surrounded the east.

Half an hour later, it was already dawn.

I met the fire in front of me.

Dong Zunhui ordered the entire army to throw away the torches and led the army to attack directly.The Liao army could not have attacked too many people at night, otherwise it would be too slow to act and the target would be too big and it would be difficult to attack.

The mainstream horses of the Liao army moved northward, and Dong Zunhui's troops headed eastward.

The war horse quickly moved closer. Without saying a word, Dong Zunhui picked up a bow and arrow, and slapped a torch and slammed it into an arrow. Sure enough, a scream came from a distance.

The Zhou army's horses accelerated to rush eastward, and the black horses swept around like a torrent.

Bang bang... There were horse neighs and people screams from behind Dong Zunhui.The Liao army vanguard collided with the flank of the Zhou army, and the middle road was suddenly in chaos, with swords, guns and fire shaking together, and the sound of killing shocked the sky!

Dong Zunhui then turned his horse's head and took the vanguard to the right wing of the Liao army, charging and shooting sideways. In the surging horses, arrows were like locusts, and shouts shook the world.

The Liao army was blocked, and the people behind were detoured to the right wing, because the left wing was all Zhou army cavalry from the west.

On the right wing, there were Dong Zunhui's personal soldiers and detours to the south, and the two armies fought hard.

The Liao army was obviously insufficient to the extent that the Zhou army had many people. In the whirlpool of horses, there were more arrows on the side with more people, and the arrows were flying, causing heavy casualties in the Liao army.

At this moment, Dong Zunhui heard someone shouting, and saw a messenger running towards the big flag here and shouting: The large Liao army in the north is supporting!

Dong Zunhui immediately ordered: Blow the whistle!withdraw!

Zhou soldiers and Mali were whistles everywhere, and their troops fought and detoured to the southwest.

Dong Zunhui ran out for a long time. When he looked back, there was a black line on the horizon, with tiny ups and downs in the middle... It was the shadow of a large number of people.

After dawn, the Liao army's large number of troops did not continue to attack Jinzhou; the Zhou army did not take the initiative to attack.The short night of fighting quickly stopped again.

……

In the Bazhou Palace, military general Lu Chengyong hurriedly walked in from the courtyard with Wei Renpu and Zuo You to a hall.Lu Chengyong bowed: You two, wait, Your Majesty will arrive later.

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Shao walked in through the side door. He didn't wear a hat and was wearing a round-collar robe.

Wei Renpu said: Your Majesty, the Liao army attacked the Jinzhou Fortress last night. Dong Zunhui won the victory in killing more than 300 enemies, repelled the Liao army, and won the first battle.

After hearing this, Guo Shao looked joyful. Although he didn't win much, winning the first battle is a good sign!

When people are under extra pressure, sometimes they really believe in these mysterious things... Anyway, there is no harm in believing. Most people in ancient and modern times should believe in God so much.

After a while, Guo Shao said in a deep voice: The Liao army should be tempting and harassing.It is impossible for them to suppress the army of more than 100,000 when they come.

Wei Renpu said: After hearing the police, Dong Zunhui took the initiative to attack and encircle the Liao army, almost annihilated all the Liao army. It happened that Dong Zunhui was forced to retreat when the large Liao army in the rear responded.

oh?I did not let him attack like this... Guo Shaodao sent someone to commend Dong Zunhui.

Wei Renpu said: Follow the order.

Guo Shao walked a few steps and couldn't help but think about Dong Zunhui for a little more.

According to his previous performance, this young general is a person who obeys military orders and probably always serves under the general; this time he is responsible for the imperial cavalry in Jinzhou alone, but he shows his bold side... After all, he is young and will not be as cautious as Li Chuyun and others.

Wei Renpu said: Let’s defend the defense line to the death. Will the Liao army start from Jinzhou?Once winter passes, the Jinzhou waterway can directly reach the intersection of Wenyu River and Sanggan River.Jinzhou should be an important base for this battle.

Guo Shao ignored it and walked to the chair above, sat down casually, looking at the map above without saying a word.

He picked up the ruler and measured it on the picture, held his thumb and pinched a scale on it, and then changed to measure it in another place, doing some trivial actions.Wei Renpu and Zuo You stood below without saying a word.

Guo Shao pondered: If I had attacked this line of defense, Jinzhou would not be easy to fight.With the new city in the west and the Bazhou in the south, the Zhou army can quickly gather most of its troops to fight the Liao army in a decisive battle.

Wei Renpu said: The elite troops from the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered in Hebei. If the Liao army is really willing to take the initiative to fight with me, we are not afraid of it.

Guo Shao nodded and said: That's exactly what it is. The Zhou army had 200,000 to 300,000 troops, more than twice that of the Liao army. If I could take the open land to fight, what would I be afraid of him? If we can't win the field battle, we don't need to attack anymore.

He changed his subject and said: But the main force of the Liao army is mainly cavalry. If the Zhou army wants to take the initiative, they have to dispatch cavalry; but if they fight for cavalry, our more than 50,000 elite cavalry are not opponents of the Liao army... I don’t think they will not fight us in decisive battle.

Guo Shao took a deep breath and said seriously: Let the troops deploy according to the original strategy; the military and Caoshi immediately report to me to know the news from secret sentries from various places in Youzhou... Where is the main force of the Liao army now deployed?

Wei Renpu and Zuo You looked at each other, and the two said one after another: The Liao army has just arrived, but I don’t know yet, so I should be near Youzhou City.

Youzhou is not far from Xiongzhou, and even in the middle of winter, the pigeons should fly back.Guo Shao pondered.

He walked a few steps and said: Choose a general to Jinzhou to replace Dong Zunhui's military power, and call Dong Zunhui back to Bazhou.
