Chapter 34 Chu family cavalry!
At the gate of Yongping City, Guo Qing waited quietly. It was almost half an hour before the military order was handed in. At this time, there was still no movement in the city.
Guo Qing looked at the big city in front of him, which was several times larger than the No. C military town. It seemed that the leader was very unwelcome to him, Guo Qing. That was just right, he would have no psychological pressure after seizing power! Just as Guo Qing was thinking, the heavy iron gate of Yongping City slowly opened. Guo Qing's eyes flashed and he immediately led everyone into the city.
"The lower official has met Captain Guo, and the general has given orders. Captain Guo will go to see the general immediately after entering the city." As soon as he entered the city, a flag officer said to Guo Qing.
"understood."
Guo Qing responded, and immediately led his men to the general's house, asking everyone to wait at the door while Guo Qing entered alone.
"Your Majesty, Guo Qing, I have seen a partial general!" Guo Qing cupped his fists and saluted Jiang Zhanbiao.
"It turns out that you are Guo Qing. I have heard about you for a long time. You are a top warrior of the ninth level of Xiantian. You even defeated the ten thousand Northern Barbarian general Tiexiong. You can be called the bravest of the three armies!"
"I have been waiting for you to come here for a long time. The Northern Barbarian soldiers retreated in large numbers. I led my troops in a battle and defeated them. The Northern Barbarian army was defeated. Now the other three captains in the city have gone to pursue them."
"There is still a group of broken troops fleeing to the east. In the Houchuan River Valley, the soldiers under his command have been assembled. I will order you to set off immediately. You must kill all the northern barbarians!" Jiang Zhanbiao, with his golden sword, was sitting at the top. Go up, he said seriously.
A cold light flashed in Guo Qing's eyes. Where is the Houchuan River Valley? In the previous battle, the defeated troops of the Northern Barbarians had already gone to nowhere, and now he was asked to chase them.
"May I ask when the general defeated the barbarians? How many soldiers did the barbarians have? How long have they been fleeing? How did the news of their escape to the Houchuan River Valley come about? When did it happen?"
"They were defeated at noon yesterday. There were no more than [-] remaining soldiers. The Houchuan River Valley is only thirty miles away from Yongping City. The Northern Barbarians carried a large amount of supplies and were very slow. Captain Guo led the army to advance lightly. They can definitely catch up."
"Captain Guo, don't worry. There are cavalry in the army following the barbarians, and they will report the movements of the barbarians to Colonel Guo at any time. The military orders are like mountains, and there is no need to delay. Captain Guo should set off quickly. I think with Colonel Guo's ability, he can Easily capture the Northern Barbarian soldiers!" Jiang Zhanbiao immediately raised his hand and took a command arrow from the table, still on the ground.
Guo Qing glanced at Jiang Zhanbiao, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed away. He immediately raised his hand, gathered his true energy in his hand, sucked the command arrow on the ground into his palm, and turned around to leave.
Looking at Guo Qing who turned to leave, Jiang Zhanbiao's eyes showed a cold light, Guo Qing, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you want to blame me, blame the Chu family you have taken refuge in for being unfaithful and unjust. Everyone will punish the rebellious ministers and traitors! When Guo Qing walked out of the General's Mansion, a guard was already waiting at the door. He cupped his fists and saluted Guo Qing and said, "I have seen Colonel Guo. His soldiers have been assembled and are waiting for him at the city gate." Sir, please go ahead quickly and don't let the barbarians escape."
"Brothers, follow me!" Guo Qing's eyes became even colder and he ignored the guard.
"Yes!"
When Guo Qing arrived at the city gate, a large number of soldiers were already standing at the door. Guo Qing took a closer look and saw that there were only more than [-] soldiers, and there were many soldiers inside who were injured. It was obvious that they had just gone through a big battle.
Moreover, the organization of these soldiers has been broken up. Guo Qing, who commanded 5000 troops in the Tang Dynasty, is naturally an expert in warfare. If he looks carefully, he can see the true situation of the soldiers in front of him.
Although the 400 people standing in front of them are quite neatly arranged, not like a mob, but if you look closely, you will find that the positions of these soldiers are not according to the standard army , archers, sword and shield bearers, and spearmen also stood randomly. The three were mixed together, and the three types of arms could not be brought together into a large scale. Once a fight started, they would not be able to exert the combat effectiveness that a large army should have.
Moreover, there was only one flag officer wearing leather armor in the army, and the number of archers in the army was also pitifully small. Among the swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen, there were a few archers carrying long bows scattered here and there.
Guo Qing's face was already ugly. This was just a broken army. The elite broken soldiers were picked up and led to chase the barbarians. There were still [-] barbarians. It was absolutely impossible.
To put it bluntly, it is hard to say whether an army with such a broken organization and a serious shortage of low-level military attachés can maintain its formation when it rushes to catch up with the barbarians.
Guo Qing immediately turned around and went to the general's mansion. No matter what, Guo Qing didn't want to die with such a large army to pursue the barbarians!
Regardless of the strength of the troops under Guo Qing's command, Guo Qing's skills are also top-notch among the Liangshan Army. However, once he fell into the army, he was besieged by soldiers twenty times his size.
Even if he could capture the barbarian soldiers, his team would definitely suffer casualties. Guo Qing did not want to cause casualties to his team just because of a pursuit.
"Captain Guo, wait!" Just when Guo Qing was about to leave, a young man in civilian clothes suddenly walked out of a nearby house.
"Captain Guo, please feel free to go out. The family has prepared cavalry for Colonel Guo. Some barbarians will be able to capture them easily. This is a military achievement sent to Colonel Guo!"
The young man spoke very fast. After saying this, he immediately turned around and ran into the house, closing the door with a bang! When Guo Qing heard this, he immediately turned around, glanced at his soldiers, and left the city without saying anything else!
After leading the army for about three miles, the rumble of horse hooves sounded, and a large number of cavalry appeared in Guo Qing's sight.
"Shut up!"
The cavalry stopped in front of Guo Qing. The leading captain turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists in front of Guo Qing and saluted: "Captain Guo, I am the captain Chu Ben under the command of the commander Chu Jie of Yongning City next door. On the order of the commander, we are carrying Five hundred cavalry under the command of Yongning City are here to help the captain capture the barbarians!"
"Thank you Captain Chu for coming to help." Guo Qing said with a smile.
"As for Colonel Guo, my Chu family and Colonel Guo are brothers. Naturally, we will not watch Colonel Guo being targeted by Jiang Zhanbiao."
"Captain Guo, Jiang Zhanbiao must not be telling the truth to you. Among the Northern Barbarians you want to pursue, there is a thousand-man general. Previously, Jiang Zhanbiao sent his second battalion to intercept the Northern Barbarians, but they were repulsed by the Northern Barbarians. , the school captain was killed, and more than [-] of the [-] soldiers of the second battalion suffered casualties, and the remaining people fled back to Yongping City."
The chill in Guo Qing's eyes was even worse. An innate master and eight hundred barbarian soldiers asked him to lead four hundred defeated soldiers to pursue him. This clearly meant that Guo Qing's life was going to be killed. I will remember this revenge!
