Boom, Boom... The sound of cannons rang out in the distance, and Guo Shao turned his head and watched for a while.

A cannon array on the other side of the city wall seemed to be shooting at the Liao army, but it was obviously useless.

A stone lump was shot over a mile away, with almost no accuracy. It smashed a pit on the ground, and it had no lethality to the cavalry.

Even if you scare the horse, it's too far away; the shelling movements hundreds of steps away are no bigger than the drumming nearby.

Guo Shao looked at the situation from a distance and the infantry phalanx outside the central army seemed to have begun to advance and counterattack.

The Liao army attacked the camp, obviously failed to defeat the infantry battle formation of the Zhou army that was already prepared; but Guo Shao had no hope for the results of the Zhou army's counterattack. The infantry had to maintain the phalanx attack, which was very slow, and the tactical maneuver could not be faster than the Liao army; first, the phalanx defense should be maintained, and then mainly rely on bows and arrows to attack the cavalry within the range.

Although the Hu Ben Army's horse-riding infantry were mobile, it was not easy to fight the Liao army in the horse war. It was just that the Zhou army in Youzhou lacked the temporary emergency reserve force when it was not mobile.

So far, Guo Shao feels that this battle is very passive.

Since the Liao army unexpectedly launched the offensive first, all deployments seemed to be passively dealing with... Not only Guo Shao, but many civil and military officials, including Wang Pu, did not expect the Liao army to take the risk of doing this!

After learning about the situation, Zhou Jun adopted an active defense strategy, he still couldn't get rid of the passiveness.

Now Guo Shao can only hope that Han Tong's left side will block the west in time, Li Chuyun, Luo Yanhuan will free up his hands to surround the Liao army outside Youzhou City... And the Zhou army infantry in Youzhou cannot rely on it. Even if he defeated the Liao army's offensive at this time, what's the use of not being able to catch up?

At this moment, the battle formation was covered in dust and chaos.When Guo Shao thought about the overall situation in his mind, he was also a mess, as if countless threads were interspersed and entangled.

With countless preparations in advance, the storm and clouds at this time are very messy; it seems that there are omissions everywhere and uncertain risks everywhere.

Guo Shao turned his head and looked at Wang Pu on the horse's back next to him, and couldn't help but say in a deep voice: I suddenly felt that Wang Zhang's words make sense. We are using cavalry as infantry.The Liao army's tactics are different from those of the mainland countries.

Wang Pu frowned and expressed his compliment with a serious expression.

At this time, a cavalry with a flag on his back ran to the Zhongjun camp, turned over and dismounted, then ran over, knelt on one knee and said: Report!The Liao army stopped attacking and large groups were fleeing north!

Guo Shao said: I'm telling Yang Biao, don't make a move.

As for the infantry of all walks of life, Guo Shao ignored it... They couldn't keep up even if they wanted to advance.

Soon Guo Shao realized that the order just now was redundant.A general was reporting that Yang Biao's Hu Ben Army was riding and infantrymen in the northeast intending to attack the flanks of the Liao army, but were attacked by the Liao army and half were defeated!

At this moment, a group of messy horse soldiers came to the camp gate.The general guarding outside the Zhongjun camp called out and asked, and a voice from afar said: Mr. Yang is back!

The horse soldiers made way for the road one after another, and saw a man with arrows all over his body like a hedgehog walking over on both sides.The hedgehog had his head hanging down, who wasn't Yang Biao?

Seeing Yang Biao's appearance, Guo Shao suddenly felt his mind buzzing and rushed over.

Yang Biao was covered in arrows, and his blood was blurred in broken armor... Can he still survive?

Yang Biao!Guo Shao turned over and dismounted, stared at him, his voice also changed, Second brother...

The troops were silent.Unexpectedly, the two of them walked over from behind with a chopping board, and Luo Mengzi lay on his back...

Guo Shao turned around and stared at Luo Mengzi lying down, and said in a trembling voice: Is he injured?

A general lowered his head and said: General Luo has... died in battle.

Guo Shao walked to the chopping board and saw Luo Mengzi's face full of blood and motionless. How could there be any movement of life?

Guo Shao stretched out his palm and wanted to touch Luo Mengzi's face. When the palm of his palm touched his nose, he could no longer feel any heat.The breathless chill suddenly penetrated Guo Shao's palm!

Guo Shao's hands were frozen there and gradually began to tremble.

Yang Biao was shot like this and his life was hard to tell, and Luo Mengzi had completely become a dead body... Guo Shao had many military generals in his hands, and there were many who were better than the two sworn brothers; but no one could replace them.

In this world, people meet and meet and cooperate at various times for various reasons, but when they are in poverty and in poverty, and after countless life and death tests, they are not so easy to get.

Loneliness, Guo Shao suddenly felt an inexplicable coldness of loneliness coming.

I blame myself, and the regret that I realized later came to my heart.

At this time, Guo Shao suddenly realized that there were many deployments in this battle, and he lost the initiative but failed to produce serious consequences. The biggest mistake... was to let the Hu Ben Army ride horse infantry and attack the elite cavalry of the Liao Army!

The Hu Ben Army's horse-riding infantry faced the troops of Shu Kingdom, Southern Tang and other countries and could be used as cavalry, but for the sake of maneuvering and wanting to fight against the Liao army's elite cavalry, it was obviously a huge mistake!

The most serious decisions are often covered by too many trade-offs and considerations and cumbersome things.

The veins on Guo Shao's forehead tensed up. He clenched his fists, his eyes flashed, but he finally gritted his teeth and did not let the tears come out. He felt a salty heat flow in his throat.

He suddenly felt that the world seemed to be shaking, and his feet staggered.

Your Majesty... All the ministers hurriedly supported them.

The previous few generals all bowed to the ground: The last general should die if he waited for his crime!

Guo Shao looked back at Yang Biao, who was like a hedgehog, walked up to him and grabbed his hand, but received no response.

Wang Pu hurriedly said: "I'm still standing there and I'm going to take General Yang down to treat him quickly. I must save him!"

Obey the order!

Guo Shao looked at Yang Biao who was moved away while sitting on the spot, and was a little out of control at this time.

Wang Pu hurriedly advised: Wait until Han Tong and Li Chuyun join the encirclement, wipe out the Liao army in the southern route, and avenge General Luo!

……

This time, the Liao army sacrificed their lives to attack the Zhou army camp for the Emperor of Great Zhou, and suffered heavy casualties; but the Zhou army also suffered a lot of losses in battle, and many wounded soldiers were carried into the healing camp by the Sanggan River.

The doctors, soldiers and civilians inside are busy with work.

At this time, surgical treatment was naturally very backward, but doctors would also have many methods to treat external trauma. In the Guan Gong era, splints that would scrape bones and heal wounds and fractures were also one of them... But the most useful thing is to clean the wounds in time and simply disinfect them with herbs.

This simplest treatment can also prevent many deaths from traumatic infections.

Xu Erniang and some folk women cleaned the fabric by the river, and then took it to the pot to cook.

At this time, another group of wounded soldiers were carried in.Xu Erniang immediately threw down the wet cloth in her hand, ran over and asked: Do you know Zhao Hu?Zhao Hu from the Hu Ben Army’s Divine Fire Capital...Who knows Zhao Hu?

At this moment, a soldier lying on the wooden board turned his head and said: I don’t know Zhao Hu, but I saw the divine fire. They were holding firearms, which were very different.

Xu Erniang rushed over and asked anxiously: Have you won?Have the divine fire won...

The soldier said: The Great Zhou army won, but the Liao army was defeated anyway.But the Divine Fire City is a bit miserable.They set fire guns in front of the long spear phalanx, and they had to resist the protection of the rifle... The superior said that they had to counterattack, so they didn't care about repairing fortifications. Besides, we had no time to come out of the barracks to make a formation.

The Liao army's horse soldiers rushed up regardless of their lives. As soon as the fire gun was released, the divine fire collapsed immediately. It was estimated that more than half of the casualties were killed or injured. I heard that all their heads were cut to death.I saw it with my own eyes that I was in the first row behind the Divine Fire at that time, otherwise how could I come back lying down...

As he was talking, someone said later: I know Zhao Hu.

Xu Erniang looked in the voice and said that the person who was speaking was a man who had just entered the camp and carried the wounded soldiers.The man asked again: Who are you Zhao Hu?

Xu Erniang didn't care much and immediately said: I am him... wife!

The man frowned and greeted a civilian who came to meet him to pick him up.He gave up to the side of the road and said: Zhao Hu is dead.

Dead?Xu Erniang was stunned, staring blankly at the strange man in front of her.

The man nodded and said: Yes, he is dead.I am a miscellaneous soldier from the Shenhuo Capital. When I saw him dead, I carried my body... I am just a miscellaneous soldier, at the end of the Shenhuo Capital, all the people in the capital collapsed at that time, so I naturally want to run away.

Xu Erniang was at a loss, and she didn't know where she was. She felt that she had no strength and had almost no strength to speak. She shook her head and said: I don't believe it.

The man rubbed his palms and frowned and said: I am a soldier from Shenhuodu. What should I do if I have nothing to do to deceive my brothers' wife? Sister-in-law, let me be mournful and follow the changes. His tone did not fluctuate much, and he might have seen too many dead people. Besides, Zhao Hu was no different from other soldiers who died in battle.

Xu Erniang bit her lip hard, almost bleeding, and she choked and said: Where is he?I'll see it with my own eyes before I believe it...

The man looked back and pointed: In the camp over there, all the dead people are there, and the corpses will be sent back to the country... Sister-in-law comes with me, I will take you there.

Xu Erniang staggered and followed the soldier silently along the roadside. There were people pushing cars or carrying wounded soldiers on the road one after another.She couldn't remember how she got to the camp where the dead bodies were released.

When you walk in, it seems like you have walked into the Hall of Yama from the earth!

There were many corpses on the ground inside, and at first glance they were everywhere; there were also many coffins piled up.

In addition to the dead, there are many living people, some of whom are soldiers wearing armor, most of whom are civilians, who are busy stripping the dead, cleaning the bodies, and applying lime.

The military man in front suddenly asked: Sister-in-law really wants to see it now?I think it's better to wait and see...

Why?Xu Erniang asked blankly.

Junhan did not answer and did not ask more questions.He searched around and finally walked to a place, standing in front of a corpse on a wooden rack.

Xu Erniang walked up and took a look, and immediately fell to the ground, covering her face with her hands, and tears burst out.
