Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The sky in the northeast was gray, and the sun shone pale through the clouds. Guo Shao rode up the gentle slope in front of him, and suddenly the Shu army appeared in the distance, the flags were like clouds, and it looked densely packed. A few scattered cavalrymen were wandering on the road a hundred paces away. These Shu soldiers were indeed from the hinterland. Their helmets were very different from those worn by northern soldiers. There was a brim in the front; it seemed that it often rained in Shu, and the brim of the hat could prevent the rainwater from flowing on their faces.

A group of more than a dozen military generals and personal soldiers followed and stood on horseback to watch.

"Bring the bow and arrow!" Guo Shao shouted. The soldiers brought his two-stone strong bow, and Guo Shao picked up the bow and set the arrow.

Recently, the ranger of the Shu soldiers was also watching there, and found that Guo Shao was holding a bow and arrow, but he didn't run away, as if he didn't believe that someone could shoot him, and suddenly cursed: "Guer, shoot me!"

After hearing this, the generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

With a sneer on Guo Shao's face, he drew his bow... One hundred steps, usually a projectile can shoot that far, but it is difficult to get much accuracy when shooting a long shot. The one stone bow used by the general military and the one stone and two bows used by the northern nomads are only a few dozen paces away, and they are not accurate at a distance.

"Crack!" A string sounded, and the rider fell backwards a moment later, and fell off the horse. The horse turned around and ran away in fright. Seeing this, the other rangers of the Shu army also dispersed.

"Good! Good!" All the generals laughed and cheered.

Guo Shao threw the bow to his soldiers, and looking back at the army behind him, there was a large group of infantry like the Shu army, but the Zhou army didn't have drums and horns, and when they came, they didn't bring too many things. Only seven or eight flags are planted among countless people.

On the right is the fast-flowing Jialing River, and on the left is the mountain. This place is so big, there is no strategy or strategy to speak of, only to rush forward and fight head-on.

Guo Shao rode his horse back downhill, walked through the gaps between the capitals, and shouted: "There is no escape route, behind is the territory of the Kingdom of Shu, and the path is too narrow to squeeze through. The brave man wins when he meets on a narrow road!"

The army raised their weapons and shouted loudly, and their morale seemed to be pretty good. Since entering Shu, we have won consecutive battles and victories, and everyone is very confident.

Guo Shao closed his eyes, and secretly prayed to the empty gods, hoping that Qingxu would be fine, and that Empress Fu would be fine in the future. He opened his eyes suddenly, and pulled out the barrier knife with a straight face... There is no sound of drums and horns, and the communication depends on roaring! Guo Shao raised the blade high and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

"Kill!" The eyes of all the soldiers came together one after another, their eyes widened and they shouted, which was deafening immediately.

A military general in the vanguard walked straight ahead, holding a tasseled gun, and prepared several knives on his back and waist, armed to the teeth. Everyone also rushed to follow, and the whole army spread from the road like a flood.

This time, the war has no strategy, rules, etc., and will return to the most barbaric and primitive form: killing each other. Wherever people can stand, there are people, and there is no rotation strategy. The people in the front will die before the people behind can go up.

At about seventy paces, the Shu army, who was waiting for work and waiting for work, shot arrows first; then Guo Shao heard the sound of "cracking" from the army on this side, and the two sides threw arrows into the sky.

Those with swords and shields hurriedly put their round shields on top, and those without shields danced wildly with their weapons on their heads. As long as the arrows were jingling in the right direction, they all fell into the battle formation.

A big man in front yelled violently, and a group of people rushed up at the arrow. The shouts of the Shu army were also loud, and a group of people rushed forward.

In an instant, the scene was horrible. The running crowd slammed into each other, spears and swords slammed into the armor with the force of the impact, and the screams immediately floated among the mountains and rivers with the dance of blood. The people in front of the Shu army fought against the enemy for the first time, and the soldiers were horrified. They saw that the rebels were going crazy, picking up spears and stabbing people at random, which was completely unreasonable for adults.

Generals and soldiers of the Zhou army rushed forward. This kind of scene is seen many times. It happens every few months, one year, two years. Compared with the crazy horse soldiers trampling everything like a mudslide, this battle is nothing at all.

"Ah!" A reckless man whose helmet was shot down and with disheveled hair and blood all over his face rushed up, and a group of Shu soldiers backed away in shock, as if they had seen a ghost, but there were also people behind them.

Immediately afterwards, another big man of the Zhou army rushed into the crowd with a shield, and when the shield hit the armor, he also jumped up, holding an iron hook in his right hand and slammed it down without saying a word. "Ah...uh..." The screams of pain can almost deafen people's ears, and it makes people's hearts tremble, and the blood splatters everywhere on the people around them. The soldier raised his hands in front of his face, looking horrific, he was knocked to the ground very quickly, maybe the wound touched the ground and he screamed even more horribly.

On the ground, a few soldiers of the Zhou army were stepping on a person, stabbing non-stop with their spears like pounding rice. Where have the young soldiers of the Shu army seen such a brutal scene in Shu? They panicked and desperately crowded in the opposite direction of Zhou Jun's arrival. There were no queues and formations at the point where the two armies met in front of each other. People were killing wildly and fighting in a melee.

War is the most direct here, fighting is killing people!

Many people had nowhere to go, and climbed up the steep hillside with their hands and feet, and immediately became living targets for the soldiers behind the Zhou army who could not fight in close combat. People shot randomly with bows and arrows one by one, and some arrows rolled down the hillside constantly. Arrow feathers are planted everywhere on the hillside. From a distance, the feathers at the end of the arrow are connected together as if a reed has grown.

Countless people were pushed off the main road and fell into the Jialing River in the east. In the torrential river, they were quickly submerged. The heavy armor made the people who fell into the water feel like they were tied to stones. From time to time, they suddenly raised their heads and shouted: "Help, help..." But the battle was in chaos and no one could save them, and they were washed away in an instant.

Du Yuhou, the first army of the Zhou army, waved his sword on his horse, pointed to the hillside and ordered: "Shoot, shoot those deserters!"

Suddenly, with a sound of "whoosh", his complexion changed, his eyes protruded, the sword fell from his hand, his hands covered his throat and his mouth was wide open, and he fell down from the horse. The soldiers around him jumped off the horse to save him. I saw that an arrow had pierced his neck, possibly hurting his trachea, he was terrified as soon as he fell, his lips were already black, and his legs were kicking on the ground. All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and someone shouted: "General, General..." But it seemed that there was no hope of salvation.

Suddenly, Guo Shao's voice came from behind: "The first commander of the First Army, the command envoy will temporarily take over the military power of the First Army!"

"Revenge for Marquis Du Yu!" A soldier yelled with red eyes, picked up a mace made of iron, and squeezed forward desperately from between the ranks.

Blood flowed from the front, arrows were thrown from behind, empty arrows flew randomly, the road was like a Shura field and a slaughterhouse, countless people crowded together to fight, the scene was extremely absurd.

The number of those who fell into the water and the arrows was unknown. In less than half an hour, the entire team of the Shu army was shaken, and the disorderly soldiers desperately squeezed back. The team that had a certain gap in the line now seemed to be on a crowded bus. A person covered in blood. The rear of the Shu army finally turned around and ran away, and the crowded crowd fled to the northeast one after another. Zhou Jun pursued from behind, and Guo Shao's voice shouted: "Tell them to surrender!"

At this time, the general of the rebellious soldiers shouted: "Drop your weapons and kneel beside the road, and you will not die!"

Everyone pushed forward, and there were surrendered Shu soldiers along the way. Some places were too crowded, and people climbed to the hillside and hugged their heads to the ground.

Zhou Jun's forward trotted forward in pursuit, and those who hadn't had time to stop and surrender were killed from behind all the way, and corpses could be seen everywhere. In the afternoon, the first commander of the vanguard had chased to the post house at the foot of Qingniling Mountain. Looking up, there were many people climbing the mountain in a mess on the slope of Qingniling Mountain.

Guo Shao followed the surging army forward, and suddenly saw a temple in front of a mountain on the way, sitting there quietly, surrounded by barren mountains and wild ridges without any villages or houses. Seeing him watching, a soldier shouted, "That's the nunnery, Qingniling nunnery."

Guo Shao turned his head and looked at him without saying a word.

Everyone rushed into the Qingniling post house, and the inside and outside were all controlled by Zhou soldiers. Guo Shao didn't care about the rest of the Shu army who were climbing the mountain, and went straight to the post house. Li Chuyun's voice shouted from behind: "Brother Luo, you take people down the mountain to persuade them to surrender, and tell the Shu soldiers that there is nowhere to run, Qingniling used to be our people!"

Guo Shao walked quickly into the posthouse, and faced with two corpses hanging under the eaves, he was taken aback. The corpses of the two women were soaked, covered in blood and bloodstains. When Guo Shao approached, he smelled a stench of blood and excrement. One of the women was already stiff, hanging like a stone;

Jing Niang's voice trembled: "Put them down quickly."

Seeing a few people kneeling in the room, Guo Shao drew out his saber and walked up. A green-robed official with a round collar hurriedly kowtowed in front of him and said, "General, please forgive me. We didn't kill them!"

Guo Shao asked anxiously, "Where are the others who you arrested?"

"I'm leading the general, I know where it's locked..." Guan Er hurriedly said.

"Go!" Guo Shao shouted. Guan'er got up carefully from the ground, and led Guo Shao in through the alley next to the house. Then looking for a key to open a door, my hands were shaking. Guo Shao scolded: "Go away!" He raised the knife and chopped down, sparks flew wildly, and the blade immediately collapsed a big gap. He dropped the barrier knife, took a few steps back, and rushed up, with a loud "bang", the door panel collapsed. Guo Shao opened his eyes to see, and was suddenly taken aback.
