Chapter 239 The Battle of Dingzhou (2)
Seeing that Guo Hao was stubborn, Yang Gun didn't talk nonsense to him. The big knife in his hand flew up and down, making Guo Hao retreat repeatedly.
"That's it?"
Guo Hao took over Yang Gun's series of attacks and said disdainfully. Yang Gun snorted coldly and attacked again, but the spear in Guo Hao's hand moved.
"A little cold light comes first, and then the gun comes out like a dragon!"
Guo Hao suddenly stabbed a shot, which was much faster than before. He rushed straight to Yang Gun's chest. Yang Gun quickly dodged, but it was a little later and his left arm was stabbed immediately.
"Um……"
Yang Gun groaned, and saw Guo Hao pull out his silver spear and sweep away thousands of troops. Yang Gun had no time to hide and could only sit down. As a result, Guo Hao knocked his helmet away.
"Yang Gun is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
Guo Hao shouted, Yang Gun was sitting on the ground at this time. When the Liao army heard this, they subconsciously looked at him, and saw him sitting on the ground with disheveled hair, covered in blood, and some really thought he was dead.
"mean!"
Yang Gun was injured in his left arm, and he held a knife in his right hand and stood up directly. He was about to raise the knife to continue fighting with Guo Hao, but the army was in chaos.
"It's the cavalry, the cavalry of the Zhou army!"
Yang Gun turned around and wanted to look at Guo Hao, but he saw a silver shadow.
puff!
Guo Hao inserted a shot into Yang Gun's chest. Yang Gun raised his left hand and grabbed the gun, and raised his right hand to slash Guo Hao. Guo Hao did not twitch and had no choice but to let go.
"withdraw……"
Yang Gun said the last word with force. Guo Hao wanted to step forward to retrieve the weapon, but unexpectedly, Yang Gun's personal soldiers surrounded him. Guo Hao did not step forward without fisting, and looked at the few people calmly.
Although Guo Hao has no weapons, his power remains undiminished.
"Course coach, coach!"
A personal soldier went to strode Yang Gun. Yang Gun was already unconscious at this time. Guo Hao's shot made him feel cold, but he did not stab the center of the body, so the gun was not pulled out, and Yang Gun had a breath.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Yang Gun was seriously injured, and his deputy immediately ordered that Wang Shenqi's cavalry was very satisfied this time, and repeatedly charged in the Liao army, scattering the Liao army and being strangled by the Zhou army.
Seeing Wang Shenqi running away, Guo Hao immediately sent someone to chase him, but he did not go forward, but turned around to the right wing. It was not easy for Li Jixun to fight.
The battle was fought from noon to evening, and the Liao army was defeated and almost wiped out.
The Zhou army also lost more than half of it, but this was a rare victory.
Guo Hao returned to the camp, and the four of them could not hide their joy. Guo Hao picked up the water bowl and wanted to drink a sip of water, but his hands were trembling.
"Haha, I'm laughing. That Yang Gun is very strong. If I hadn't been training for a few days before, I would have been no match for him."
After Guo Hao said that, Gudong Gudong drank a bowl of water, then sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. Several people looked at each other and then laughed.
"Hahahahahahaha..."
When Guo Hao saw them laughing, he also laughed. Although they lost more than half of the money, this time it was definitely a big victory, breaking the myth of Khitan's invincibility for the past five generations!
That was 10,000 cavalry. Guo Hao defeated the opponent with 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry. Not only the Five Dynasties, but also from the Han Dynasty, this is also rare and will definitely be recorded in history.
"Congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief, after this battle, you have to think about it even if the Khitan wants to go south!"
"Yes, the commander-in-chief is invincible and has unparalleled wisdom. If we all use this method in the future, we don't have to worry about their cavalry!"
The four of them praised each other, but Guo Hao smiled and shook his head: "It's not that simple. This time, Yang Gun was careless. The main reason is that we have too few people, so he underestimated the enemy!"
The four nodded when they heard this. They saw everything Guo Hao had done during this period. It can be said that the Liao army did not take them seriously at all.
Guo Hao happened to take advantage of this. He first used the battle-free card to win the time he wanted to find a solution, and then used the fortress and the eight formations to set up the mystery. Later, before the war started, he spoke in a sensation and forced Yang Gun into the trap step by step.
In fact, everything Guo Hao did and said was intentional. If the two of them didn't make that bet, Yang Gun might retreat temporarily.
Even if he did not keep his promise and retreated, his morale would be hit, and he also saw Guo Hao's methods that his cavalry had no advantage.
So in order not to be depleted by Guo Hao, Yang Gun decided to take down the Zhou army in one go, but he underestimated the combat effectiveness of this army. None of the main generals in this battle were an unknown person.
So Yang Gun lost because of his underestimation of the enemy, because he should not give up his advantage, because he underestimated Guo Hao's wisdom, and because he underestimated Guo Hao's shamelessness.
In the last shot, Guo Hao was obviously a sneak attack. Wang Shenqi's cavalry attracted his attention, but Guo Hao succeeded.
After being shot by Guo Hao, Yang Gun probably wouldn't be able to survive, but accidents are not ruled out. After all, that shot did not hit the vital point.
"General, now that we have defeated Yang Gun, should we go north next?"
Guo Hao was a little moved when he heard this. When he followed Guo Wei north, he missed an opportunity because of the court.
Now that Chai Rong has become the emperor, he is a genuine militant. If Guo Hao makes a request, he might agree.
"Now we only have 5,000 troops, and there are still many defenders in Weizhou. We may not have enough troops.
Let me do this, I will give His Majesty a memorial to see if we can increase our troops. It is best to be all cavalry so that we can go and have a look."
After hearing this, the few people agreed, so they sent the news and the memorial to Bianjing together. When they learned that Guo Hao had defeated the Liao army and almost killed the Liao army general Yang Gunshi, all the civil and military officials in the court showed joy.
Bianliang City, the imperial palace.
Chai Rong sat on the dragon throne, looking at the civil and military officials below, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he heard them praise Guo Hao.
After such a big victory, if it were someone else, he might have rewarded him heavily, but Guo Hao is different. He already has the title of Duke of Jin and the official position of the Imperial Army, and it seems that he has no title to be granted.
The master of his great merits was overwhelming, and these four words suddenly appeared in Chai Rong's mind.
In fact, if he was asked to go to this battle, he would have a way to win, but unfortunately Feng Dao did not allow him to leave the capital, and Feng Dao and Guo Hao had a good relationship.
"Well, this time, the Duke of Jin repelled the Khitan and brought glory to our Great Zhou Dynasty, which is a great pleasure. Now he requested an order to go north. I wonder what you think?"
Chai Rong thought about it and decided to ask the ministers, and at the same time he wanted to see what the ministers viewed Guo Hao.
"Your Majesty, Guo Hao repels the Khitan, and his morale is in full swing at this time. If you take the opportunity to go north, you will hope to recover the lost territory!"
Feng Dao was the first to speak, and he was indeed directed at Guo Hao. At the same time, he also felt that it was definitely the country's luck to have such a young and promising general in the country.
"Your Majesty, although we won this battle, our army also lost most of the money. If Guo Hao goes north, he will definitely not have enough troops now. If he continues to increase his troops, he will be afraid that Bianjing will be empty..."
Wang Pu is Chai Rong's confidant, so he naturally knows Chai Rong's thoughts. Chai Rong nodded when he heard this. He actually thought so too. The reason why he only gave Guo Hao 10,000 people was actually because he was also worried.
"Your Majesty, the old minister feels that the attacks between the two countries are nothing more than bullying Your Majesty as soon as he first ascends to Dabao, so he wants to take the opportunity to make trouble.
Now that the Duke of Jin has proved the strength of the Great Zhou, the Khitan must have known it, so we might as well stop when we see it. After all, Your Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, so it is not advisable to make a big move."
The person who spoke was Zheng Renhui, and Chai Rong nodded again. He did have many things to do, and now it is not the time to fight the Khitan.
Next, most ministers expressed their opinions, and most of them did not agree to increase their troops, which meant that Guo Hao could not go north.
Chai Rong gave him the order to station in Dingzhou for a period of time. If the Khitan did not move, he would be able to come back.
After receiving this news, the few people were a little disappointed. There was nothing they didn’t like to make a contribution when leading troops to fight, but this also requires a chance.
The rewards from several people were also received. Apart from Guo Hao, the others all added titles and positions, which was a symbol of honor.
Guo Hao gave a lot of silk treasures and sent them directly to his mansion. The others were just rewards and there was nothing practical.
