Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

There are about two thousand men and horses dispatched to Xiangxun, among which three to four hundred cavalry with complete armor and better appearance should be counted as the elite and core force of this army. A long line of infantrymen followed, marching in long columns on the road; a row of four people, the line seemed to be about three or four hundred steps long, so Guo Shaocai estimated that he was bringing two thousand people.

This infantry could not be compared with the former Sixiaodi infantry of Guo Shao and the others. Most of them were incompletely armored, and a few did not even have helmets. The figures of the soldiers were scattered, and all kinds of weapons were mixed. It seems that what Xiang Xun Department really relies on is the three or four hundred elite cavalry around him. I am afraid that only these cavalry have strong combat effectiveness.

Thinking about it this way, Guo Shao felt that his more than 20 riders were not dispensable for Xiang Xun's reinforcements, and could be counted as a force. Because Guo Shao felt that the soldiers in the team were all tough, Yang Biao was even more of a force, but he didn't make his mark.

The army marched during the day and camped at night. On the morning of the third day, the army suddenly stopped during the march.

I saw a village next to the road. It was a very ordinary village. The scattered and disordered houses were mostly dilapidated. There were a few big trees between the houses as usual, and there were not many unusual places.

Guo Shao quickly discovered the unusual. A group of insurgent soldiers are coming out of the village. There are not only soldiers, but also a two-wheeled cart of mules and horses. There are a few young women tied to the back of the cart, and their hands are tied to the frame of the cart. Weeping and walking with the mule cart.

Those soldiers were soldiers of the Zhou army, and they were not yet in Xinzhou. They were all in the control area, and there were only men from the Zhou Dynasty.

In the horse-training troops, two cavalry mounted their horses and left the road to outflank the left and right sides, and soon surrounded the insurgents who had just come out of the village. At this time, I saw Xiang Xun personally leading his entourage, Guo Shao and others were behind him, and when he saw it, he led the horse to follow slowly to see what happened.

Xiang Xun saw that the rebels were pulling a cart full of things, and there were women in the back. He knew what was going on without asking. These rebellious soldiers not only robbed money, but also robbed wives and daughters.

"Mother!" Xiang Xun yelled, "Take it all for me!"

The rebel soldiers were surrounded by the fine cavalry regiments, and they did not dare to resist seeing this battle, and all stood there with their heads down.

At this time, a general next to Xiangxun said: "This place is near Xinzhou. Apart from my department, the soldiers and horses of Wei Wang (Fu Yanqing), Guo Congyi, Bai Chongzan, and Shi Yanchao are soldiers and horses of rebellion. It must be theirs. It is inconvenient for the lord to kill and punish him, but he can be tied to the army and handed over to their lord general for disposal; all the goods and women are sent back to the village."

Xiang Xun listened to his anger for a while, just as he was about to give an order, when he heard a sound of horseshoes coming from the north, everyone followed the sound.

After a while, I saw a team of horsemen approaching. The current person is very tall, and may be half a head taller than Guo Shao by visual inspection, and his torso is stout, looking like "one size bigger" than the average person behind, and even the horse under his seat is set smaller. It's much harder to come and ride a horse by him. When he approached, I saw him with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his face was like a knife, and he was murderous. You don’t look like ordinary people just by looking at them.

Guo Shao has been at the bottom of the Forbidden Army for a long time, and has no idea who this person is.

However, Xiang Xun seemed to recognize him, and Ce Ma immediately bowed his hands and said, "I never wanted to meet a historical forward here."

The big man was very arrogant with his slanted eyes, but he also replied and said simply, "General Xiang."

Xiang Xun immediately said: "Brother Shi should know that after our army attacked Hedong, the military discipline was lax and there were looting from time to time, so that the officials and people in Hedong stood on their own walls, making it more difficult for our army to supply supplies. The officials have repeatedly ordered soldiers not to looting. People, you think these people are better, not only robbing things, but also robbing people... They shouldn't be soldiers under Brother Shi?"

"Humph!" Unexpectedly, the big man responded to Xiang Xun like that. Xiang Xun is also a general at any rate, but that sturdy man does not buy it, I am afraid he is not a small person.

Guo Shao was thinking about it. Just now, a minister mentioned Fu Yanqing, Guo Congyi, Bai Chongzan, and Shi Yanchao. Only Shi Yanchao had the surname Shi. Could he be Shi Yanchao?

Rao is that Guo Shao is only a low-level general for a long time, but he is also a member of the ranks anyway; if Shi Yanchao's name has never been heard, I am ashamed to call himself a martial artist? This Shi Yanchao was recognized by the Zhou dynasty military circles as the first fierce general, and his reputation was comparable to Zhang Yuanhui of the Northern Han Dynasty. I don't know which of the two most powerful generals in the country has the higher force... In the end, none of them singled out anyone. Zhang Yuanhui was shot to death by the unknown soldier, Guo Shao.

Shi Yanchao snorted, jumped off the horse, and walked straight in front of the rebel soldiers. The dozen or so people who had just been **** bowed their heads, and didn't even dare to look at him.

Shi Yanchao didn't say a word, and everyone was silent, standing and watching what he was going to do.

He immediately looked at the little girls tied behind a mule cart. All of them showed fear, but one of them quietly watched him. Shi Yanchao suddenly drew a long sword from his waist, lifted the sword and walked up; although the little ladies stepped back timidly, they did not panic too much... Maybe the general came to cut the rope for them. Didn’t the generals here talk about not looting the people?

With a "poof" and then a scream, the little ladies screamed. That Shi Yanchao went up and stabbed one person to death without saying a word.

"This..." Someone next to Xiang Xun stepped forward, and Xiang Xun stretched out his arm and made a stop gesture.

Then Xiang Xunbian disregarded the women's bitter pleadings and crying, killing them with one sword at a time, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

At this time, there was a "plop", and one of the soldiers fell to the ground first, begging for mercy: "General Xiang, I know you are wrong!"

Shi Yanchao's chest was full of blood stains, and he walked back with a sword dripping blood. When he went up, he waved a sword and slashed. The kneeling sergeant screamed and fell to the ground. Shi Yanchao "pooh" spit, "Dog|mother's, lustful and lustful cartilage!"

After killing one person, he walked to the second one. The guy's eyes rounded and his face was pale, and he stood there with his hands tied back. Shi Yanchao grabbed his hair, slashed a sword on his neck, and blood rushed out. The man fell on his side, not dead, his limbs twitching like a goat.

Some of the people who were finally **** scolded angrily: "You bloodthirsty brutal man! Shi Yanchao, you must die!"

The soldiers at the scene watched him one by one, killing more than a dozen people with their own hands. No one moved and no one discouraged.

Shi Yanchao threw the blood sword on the ground, and his entourage hurriedly picked it up and wiped it. At this moment, he walked to the horse, took the reins, turned around and sneered, "General Xiang, are you satisfied with my disposal?"

Xiang Xun was speechless and clasped his fist and said, "We will meet in Xinzhou in the future."

When Shi Yanchao and his team left, Xiang Xuncai said, "Bury the body."

The army stayed for a while next to this unknown village, watching the height of the sun, it was close to noon. Xiang Xun ordered to continue on his way, as if he was close to Xinzhou, and he was just in time for lunch. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Sure enough, at noon, I saw a city in front of me. Walking north from Jinyang, the first city I saw on a larger scale was Xinzhou.

The gates of Xinzhou city were closed, and the city was aided by troops. Xiang Xunjun sent people to the city to make a call and negotiate, and hang up the voucher. Then the city gate was opened, and the horses marched into Xinzhou one after another.

The location of this city is important, but the city is not too big, and the scene inside is still a bit bleak. However, there seems to be a lot of troops stationed in the city now. There are constantly lined up movements on the Central Cross Road, and a large number of soldiers and horses are also stationed in the city gate that has just entered.

Guo Shaozheng was curious about how many troops Xinzhou had transferred, but he was not very good at asking Xiang Xun. The generals at the bottom were used to it, and he knew that these military conditions did not require him to understand and inquire.

But at this moment, the general who first spoke to Guo Shao in Jinyang and questioned "Why are there so many horses in the infantry" and asked about this. He asked: "How many people have arrived in Xinzhou?"

Xiang Xun said: "Now there are more than 10,000 people in Wei Wang's temperance generals, and Sanggui, the descendant of the Northern Han Dynasty, has several thousand people, and maybe 20,000 people in total."

The general said: "With so many troops, do you still ask us to reinforce? Isn't there a report that the Liao army only has thousands of horses?"

"Follow him, you tell the soldiers to rest on the spot, I will go to the army to see King Wei first." Xiang Xun said.

For the time being, all the people could only rest in a small open space inside the city gate. The place was too small to build a stove and cook a meal. Everyone sat on the ground, eating dry food and drinking cold water to satisfy their hunger. Some people looked for water wells everywhere, and others were busy feeding their horses with bean cakes and salt mixed fodder. Guo Shao and others were born in infantry, but they have been in the army for a long time and are familiar with war horses. Luo Mengzi is carefully checking the horseshoes.

Although Xinzhou has a large number of soldiers, it feels very peaceful for a while, and it looks much more peaceful than Jinyang, where there are crowds of ants crawling all over the city.
