Boom boom boom... The cast iron mortar cannon emits a roar that shakes the world, and the large-caliber siege cannons are equipped with more gunpowder, and the ignition is even bigger than that of the copper cannon.
The rows of cannons on the cannon array seemed to be spraying flames, and nearly a hundred kilograms of stones were thrown into the air and rolled in the sky.
The city walls in the distance were splashing.
A large number of soldiers and civilians outside the city were pushing wheelbarrows and spreading towards the moat outside the city wall, with huge shouts as if they were about to destroy everything.
Guo Shao drove the carriage and watched the gathering of thousands of troops outside. General Gao Huaide was cheering up his morale in front of the formation, shouting something passionately, and the soldiers shouted in response.
That exciting battlefield made Guo Shao miss his former military career... But now he doesn't have to go to the front of the battlefield. As an emperor, he should do what he should do. Just have military generals in war.
Guo Shao waved to Lu Chengyong, and Lu Chengyong hurriedly rode his horse to get close to the carriage.Guo Shao said: Send someone to pass an order to Gao Huaide and conquer Jinzhou within fifteen days!
Get order!Lu Chengyong replied with a tight fist.
Guo Shao slapped the wooden boards of the carriage and said: Go back to the Central Army.
A team of iron cavalry guarded the car and returned to the barracks.Guo Shao walked into a tent inside the fence, and soon eunuch Yang Shiliang and civil servant Lu Duosun came in.
The sound of cannons still rumbled around, as noisy as the thunderstorm weather.
Guo Shao sat down under a chopping board filled with files and paper, looked at them, and asked: Is there any news on the Liao King's account?
Yang Shiliang bowed and said: Go back to Your Majesty, there is not yet.
Lu Duosun said: The former camp military office has ordered scouts from all departments to report to the military office immediately if they encounter suspicious people.
Guo Shao said in a deep voice: I’m guessing and worrying waiting for the result, and waiting for the most difficult days.
Lu Duosun bowed and said: I went to the military office to ask Deputy Envoy Wei, if there is any new news today.
Guo Shao nodded slightly, moved a inkstone on the chopping board, and took out a simple picture with some circle arrows drawn with brushes.
The upper left corner is marked with the King of Qi of the Liao army; an ellipse was drawn with a dotted line in the northeast direction, which reads the King of Liao, and a question mark... Because the specific location of the King of the King of the King is unknown, and it is moving at any time.
The Yalu River and other places were also marked, and a sketch could allow Guo Shao to observe the situation at this moment more intuitively.
He raised his head and took a deep breath and closed his eyes.Yang Shiliang looked at him slightly, and his body became more respectful, and he did not dare to make any sound to disturb him, even if the sound of cannons outside was shocking.
This time, the Northern Expedition was very popular, and it was announced that the world had transferred grain and personnel from countless prefectures and counties. A total of less than 100,000 troops seemed to be launching a national war!
Daxu's court deliberately made a strategy because the strategic purpose was to force peace.
In addition to the needs of national policies, this is also an important part of Guo Shao's establishment of a plan for Xiao Siwen.
Last autumn and winter, Guo Shao pretended to be sick and used Yang Ye to lure Xiao Siwen into a trap. The siege of Yanmen made Xiao Siwen lose his power to preside over the government; and at this time, if Xiao Siwen could take the blame again... Guo Shao believed that Xiao Siwen should finish his game.
The key is to make the king and minister of Liao Dynasty recognize it and seek peace!
At this moment, Lu Duoxun walked into the big tent quickly. Guo Shao opened his eyes and observed his expression. He thought he had received news about the Liao King's tent, so he calmed down and waited for Lu Duoxun to speak.
Lu Duosun bowed and said: Your Majesty, the front camp military administration urgently reported that the King of Qi of Liao suddenly changed direction and marched south towards Jinzhou!
Guo Shao immediately showed a look of surprise and unexpectedness, and reached out to rub his forehead for a few times.
Lu Duoxun said: It must be the Liao king's tent that forced the siege to break the siege of Jinzhou.
There are generally all kinds of undeterminable things in the middle of layout and strategy, and this is one of them.Guo Shao thought about it for a while and said: The message was ordered to meet Wei Renpu, Shi Yanchao and Dong Zunhui.
Soon, the light in the tent dimmed slightly, and a huge body blocked the light.Shi Yanchao said impatiently: The man surnamed Gao was playing in front of him, so I just watched it and felt uncomfortable!
Then Wei Renpu and Dong Zunhui walked in, and the three of them bowed together, and Your Majesty lived forever.
Guo Shao said: The King of Qi of Liao Kingdom, Essage, led his troops south.
What!After hearing this, Shi Yanchao was bent down to hold a tribute, but he almost jumped up and glared at the sight, "Official family, this guy was so scared that he withdrew his troops when he heard my name. If he saw his true body in the battle formation, he would not be scared to get shit and pee!
Dong Zunhui was stunned, and Shi Yanchao suddenly took a step forward and blocked Dong Zunhui behind him.Dong Zunhui took a step to the right and avoided Shi Yanchao's body. Unexpectedly, Shi Yanchao took another step to the right.
Guo Shao said: Feng Sage went south temporarily, and his morale was not high.If we could use cavalry to repel the Yansagh tribe, Gao Huaide would not have to demolish the besieged city and deploy it.What did Deputy Envoy Wei think?
Wei Renpu frowned, as if he was trying hard to think about the pros and cons, and replied with some confidence: If Your Majesty decides to do this, you can give it a try.
Guo Shao understood Wei Renpu's concerns. This tactic of siege on all sides was relatively scattered.If you encounter strong reinforcements attack from outside, you will suffer a lot of losses in fighting.
Dong Zunhui!Guo Shao shouted immediately.
Dong Zunhui hurriedly squeezed out from behind Shi Yanchao, clasped his fists and said loudly: The last one is here!
Shi Yanchao cried out with an anxious face.
Guo Shao said: You lead the light cavalry in our headquarters... to support General Shi.Shi Yanchao, I will ask you to lead the main force of the horse soldiers to attack, go north to find Yansagge, and defeat him!
Shi Yanchao was overjoyed and said with great momentum: The official is waiting for the good news!
...Shi Yanchao and Dong Zunhui led cavalry to the north, Xunling River (Daling River) to the west of Yiwulu Mountain the next day, and encountered most of the Liao army.
When that was the case, the Daling River on the west side of the people gradually changed from north to west to east, and on the east side were the Lushan Mountains that gradually became higher and steep. The Xu army located in the south was narrow terrain; the Liao army to the north was on an open land.
Dong Zunhui rode a horse to catch up with Shi Yanchao and advised: Duke Shi Guowang should not advance quickly. If the Liao army and Duke Shi Guowang cross the estuary, cut off the retreat route; the terrain in the south is narrow, and it is difficult to rescue it in time!
Shi Yanchao sneered: Even your uncle is like this when he is in war. He is good at being a teacher.Watch it carefully behind!
After saying that, he slapped his horse's buttocks, lifted his iron spear and shouted: Kill!Then he led his personal soldiers to take the lead and led the troops without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, a small group of light cavalry ran faster than Shi Yanchao. Shi Yanchao was using a cavalry to jog with a large group of horse soldiers, preparing to do a big fight. Seeing this, he was angry and cursed: Damn, whose person is that?
The general shouted: General Dong’s people are not ours!
Shi Yanchao was surrounded by flags, and the big flag with the word "Shi" could be seen from afar. Thousands of horse soldiers were following the movements of the flag toward the north.
Shi Yanchao was too lazy to care about that small group of people and continued to lead his troops north.
Xu's army and horses rushed over from the sand on the river beach, and even war horses climbed the hillside to the east. Looking around, there were surging horses all over the mountains.
The Liao army gathered several large formations in the north, and the horses on the middle road had moved south.
Xu Jun rushed to the front of the formation for more than a hundred steps, and suddenly raised his arms and shouted: Shi Yanchao, the world's number one general, is here, if he doesn't escape, he will die!
Shi Yanchao heard the shouts and was very helpful. The two armies were only two hundred steps apart. He kicked the horse's belly and started to accelerate the charge.
The Liao army was recoiling around the east and west, and horse hooves roared between the mountains and rivers for a moment, and the shouts of killing were shaking.
Not long after, the arrows in the air were like rain. Shi Yanchao's heavy cavalry was the first to be attacked. He did not carry the bow and arrow, and rushed forward with the arrow, completely ignoring the soldiers injured in the arrow.
The cavalry on both sides approached at a visible speed like a torrent, and the brown sand on the river beach was swallowed up by the black horse herd.
The heavy cavalry threw iron spears at the Liao cavalry when they met. There was no sign of slowing down the speed when they met in close combat.
Shi Yanchao shouted and took two riders in a row and pounced on him. A team of heavy cavalry seemed to pierce through the Liao army's vanguard at a speed!
The speed of the heavy cavalry of Xu's army's unstoppable cavalry advanced beyond the imagination of the two armies. After the vanguard rushed out, he left room for the troops behind, and more soldiers and horses entered the Liao army's formation.
Shi Yanchao's troops were invincible and unstoppable, and they clashed left and right among the Liao soldiers.
He rushed in the front, and the black spear in his hand was danced lightly and nimblely, as if it was a wooden pole, but in fact it was all-in-one!
A Liao soldier waved his iron bones and smashed him towards Shi Yanchao. Shi Yanchao pulled out the iron spear that pierced into the chest of a cavalry next to him, swept across the iron bones and blocked the iron bones. With a loud bang, Mars was splashed, and the iron bones were shot straight into the air. The iron spear swept across the Liao cavalry's ears with strong wind. With a crack, there was a terrifying sound of cervical vertebrae breaking. The man's head had drooped, and his whole body turned sideways from the horse.
Shi Yanchao's breastplate and shoulder pad were full of arrows, and he stretched out his hand and broke it all off!
There are three layers of armor in total, even if the arrows that can penetrate the three layers of armor can hurt him, it seems to be tickling in his eyes.
Xu Jun's heavy armored cavalry was covered in blood, and he was very brave and terrifying, and his shouts were deafening.
However, Xu Jun did not spread the horizontal surface enough, Shi Yanchao rushed too quickly, and the entire group of horse soldiers turned into a long dragon formation.
The two wings of the Liao army rushed to the side of the Xu army and soon cut off the thin formation in half.
Xu Jun was divided into two pieces, and the front and back could no longer support him!
Dong Zunhui's eyes were full of running cavalry and dust. He observed that the Liao army in the distance were galloping towards the east and west, showing no signs of stagnation. He knew that Shi Yanchao was surrounded in front.
Damn it!Dong Zunhui cursed. His men and horses were all Xu Jun cavalry in front of him. The estuary was flat and narrow, and it had already been blocked!
Dong Zunhui looked to the left, and some horse soldiers were trapped in the mud by the river, struggling back with difficulty.
And the hillside in front of the right is full of horses and soldiers.
This place is at the foot of Lushan Mountain. The higher the mountain goes east, the higher the mountain. The mountains deep in sight seem like dark clouds pressing against the horizon.
Shi Yanchao is about to stop!Dong Zunhui said anxiously.
The rows of cannons on the cannon array seemed to be spraying flames, and nearly a hundred kilograms of stones were thrown into the air and rolled in the sky.
The city walls in the distance were splashing.
A large number of soldiers and civilians outside the city were pushing wheelbarrows and spreading towards the moat outside the city wall, with huge shouts as if they were about to destroy everything.
