    The unexpected snowflakes made both combatants nervous: when the snow first fell, it did not have much impact on cavalry operations. Once the snow fell heavily, it not only affected the line of sight, but also added to the battlefield out of thin air.  Many uncontrollable factors.  Everyone knows this truth, so the pace of the entire battlefield suddenly accelerated.  Nine thousand Xi clan and Khitan elites worked together to advance on horseback. The next five thousand elite cavalry also roared in and charged head on. The remaining shield formations and horse-rejection formations withdrew to both sides.  The entire battlefield was given over to the cavalry.  On the battlefield, the elite cavalry of the Liao Kingdom going north were in mixed clothes, but their horses were evenly fast, and coupled with the silent cavalry, they gave people invisible pressure; the formation of the elite cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty going north was slightly uneven, but all their clothes were uniform.  The unity was glorious, and the shouts were like mountains and tsunamis, but they were also powerful. Coincidentally, neither side fired arrows to stop the enemy, and both rushed forward at full speed.  Within a few breaths, two arrows, one north and one south, collided violently. When the collision came into contact, people and horses flew up and blood flew.  The combatants on both sides are all masters among masters. Every contact on the battlefield only has one chance, and there is no second chance at all. A great Zhou Jingqiu just knocked down a Khitan cavalry, and before his body could turn around, he was already beaten by the backward one.  The Khitan cavalry slashed their heads, but before the Khitan master could pull back his sword, he was stabbed through by the Zhou cavalry who quickly followed up.  Guo Wei stood on the high platform, coldly watching the extremely fierce battle between the cavalry, and ordered in a cold voice: "Prepare for battle in the horse-rejection formation in front, and advance when you hear the drum." In the continuous face-to-face collision, all the cavalry on both sides  They were all mixed together and all slowed down.  A slow and low drumbeat sounded from behind the Zhou army. Several messengers galloped on their horses. The messenger formations surrounded them from all sides, encircling and cannibalizing the lone Liao cavalry.  "Woo, woo." A short horn and two long ox horns also sounded from behind the Liao army. A Liao army captain who was fighting in the middle of the formation suddenly jumped onto his horse, carrying a shield in one hand and holding a sword in the other.  He thrust the knife into his hand, roared wildly, then fell off the horse, slashed the horse's butt hard with the back of the knife, and drove the painful horse to run to the left. The Liao soldiers near him also abandoned their opponents and gathered behind the captain.  The slightly curved arrow battle formation slowly revealed its shape, but because the surroundings were surrounded by the enemy's own cavalry, the speed could not be increased for a while.  "Left-turn tactics, hum." Guo Wei snorted coldly and ordered loudly, "Hu Xueli, prepare your horse, follow me to attack, knock off Zuo-Xuan's head." "Left-turn tactics are a common tactic used by cavalry to break the deadlock and regain the speed advantage in chaos.  One, usually led by masters with superb riding skills and high combat prowess, will lead the scattered cavalry into a left-turning arrow offensive, sweeping through the enemies on the field again like a tornado.  Hu Xueli and several accompanying civil servants were shocked and gathered around to persuade Guo Wei to stop him.  Hu Xueli winked at several civil servants and shouted: "Protect the holy driver." He jumped up high and landed on the horse under the high platform. He waved his hand and led fifty imperial guards towards the man who had just shouted.  The commander of ten thousand soldiers of the Liao army was the core and center of the left-hand tactics. As long as the enemy army's rhythm of rearrangement and attack was disrupted, the Liao army would not be able to control this battlefield.  Seeing the emperor's personal guards attacking from a distance, Shi Yanchao, the commander of Longjiedu, He Hui, the commander of Hujie, and Chen Sirang, Kang Yanmao, the commander of the left wing platoon, who were standing on the periphery and commanding the anti-horse formation, immediately became excited and raised their voices one after another.  He yelled angrily: "The Holy Lord has personally marched, children, don't embarrass yourself in front of the Holy Lord." "We have determined the right time, place, and people. This battle is certain to be won. Charge."  The Great Zhou Infantry was aroused to fight.  They also responded, using large shields and spears to combine with each other, struggling to squeeze towards the cavalry combat area from all sides.  Hu Xueli led the top five masters and drove their horses to the right wing of the middle of the battlefield. He immediately dismounted and plunged into the battle formation like a swimming fish. After a few ups and downs, he reached the formation. Hu Xueli shouted to the other two masters.  With a wink, he bent down and lifted up a black horse that had fallen on the ground, and suddenly threw it at the Liao army captain ten thousand who had rushed two meters away.  The not-quite-dead horse struggled in vain with its neck in the air, roared twice, and fell helplessly forward. With a roar, the horse reined in the horse, struck it with his left palm, and slashed with all his strength with the steel knife of his right hand.  .  The black horse was almost split into two pieces from its belly, and blood flew into the air, pouring all over the Captain Ten Thousands. The body of the horse that had been split was stagnant in the air for a moment, and the horse's butt still hit the Captain Ten Thousand's left side.  Shoulder.  The Captain of Ten Thousands snorted and closed his eyes that were covered with blood. He turned the steel knife in his right hand in a circle and quickly blocked the attack of Hu Xueli and the two masters who followed the horse.  "However, two other Zhou masters had already bent down and got under the captain's horse. They shouted softly and cut off the four horse legs one after the other. Then they raised their knives upwards at the same time.  The horse body suddenlyThe horse suddenly collapsed, and two steel knives came out of its belly. The front one pierced the thigh of the ten thousand captain. At the same time that the horse collapsed, the ten thousand captain had already slammed the horse with his left palm, and the man was thrown away.  He got up, but due to the impact on his left arm, his strength control was unstable, and his body fell to the left in mid-air.  A great Zhou master who had been hiding at the end silently took action, and the steel knife in his hand stabbed straight into the left side of the waist of Captain Wan Fu until the handle was gone. Captain Wan Fu hissed in pain and thrust out his left palm like thunder.  He struck the master in the face and knocked him away. However, at that moment, the steel knife in Captain Wanfu's right hand was held by a master from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Hu Xueli advanced silently and slashed Wanfu with one blow.  long throat.  Hu Xueli didn't stop at all, slashed three times in a row, and successfully cut off the head of the Ten Thousand Captain. He picked up the hair on his head and threw it towards the cavalry behind him. He hit the back of the lifeless corpse of the Ten Thousand Captain.  All the other masters who followed up also followed in, squatting down and chopping the horse's legs.  Soon, all the six or seven horses in the front row fell to the ground, the heads of the entire left-handed cavalry were chopped off, and the way forward was blocked.  "Okay, the whole army will attack." Guo Wei laughed loudly and roared with high spirits.  The wind became stronger, the snow became stronger, and the sound of thunderous drums suddenly resounded throughout the audience. The entire Zhou army roared wildly and pressed towards the cavalry formation in the middle. The disadvantage of the small number of Liao soldiers was completely lost due to the speed of the cavalry.  Immediately it emerged that swarms of cavalry were thrown off their horses by a small team of Zhou troops that combined horse and infantry.  The gates of Jinzhou City also opened at this time, and Han Lingkun rushed out with two thousand screaming Zhou troops and went straight to the Northern Han army's formation.  "Zhou Jun is crazy, Guo Wei is crazy." Xiao Yujue, the military governor of Zhangguo of Liao Kingdom, stared at everything in front of him with his mouth open. In the daily battles with the Central Plains, those Han barbarians would only defend the city and occasionally fight in the wild.  They were all being beaten passively, but today they were uncharacteristically going to attack each other without regard for life or death.  The situation is over. Should it be time to blow the trumpet and withdraw the troops? Xiao Yujue asked himself silently in his heart. When the Rangers fought on the grasslands, they always followed the wind and went with the wind. They never thought that retreating voluntarily was a big deal.  "What elites of the Liao Kingdom, nothing more than that." Guo Wei snorted repeatedly, staring at the battlefield that had stabilized the situation with determination, stretched out his right hand to catch a few falling snowflakes, and rubbed it on his face, "If you don't want to retreat, then  Bury yourself here." At this moment, the horns of the Liao army's rear formation sounded, which was the signal to withdraw.  Guo Wei looked up to the sky and smiled, and ordered repeatedly: "Instruct the cavalry in the front line to pursue the whole army until they reach the enemy's territory before turning back." On the battlefield, Liu Chong and Liu Chengjun of the Northern Han Dynasty, father and son, under the personal protection of Yang Ye and others, mingled with the retreating troops.  Among the Liao cavalry, they rushed back to the north. Under the organization of Qiu Hongchao and Yao Yuanfu, the Zhou cavalry began to pursue them. The battlefield changed from a melee to a pursuit.  Shi Yanchao and He Hui led several lieutenants, and they all turned around and knelt on the ground and shouted long live, congratulating the Holy Spirit for being so majestic and defeating the Liao-Han coalition forces in a snap.  Guo Wei waved his army and signaled them to come up to meet the emperor. A group of generals swarmed up. Naturally, there were loud chants and flattery along the way, which Guo Wei accepted with a proud smile.  After reaching out to stop everyone talking, Guo Wei glanced at the battle situation in front of him, then turned to look east, suddenly turned to face the south, and laughed: "It's still fun to fight on the battlefield. I have defeated the Yanzhou clown, and then defeated the Jinzhou Xiaoxiao.  If I want to win another battle, all my dear friends are willing to follow me south to attack Huainan." All the generals immediately knelt down and swore sonorously and loudly that they would follow me to the death.  In the jubilant atmosphere, only Tong Ping Zhangshi, Deputy Privy Envoy, and Minister of War, Fan Zhi, looked calm as usual. He was staring at the south in a daze. Murong Yanchao was just a clown; the Liao-Han coalition forces were gentle but not attentive.  There is no doubt that Dazhou, which has the advantageous location and people, has won two games in a row, but with Lin Feng, will Huainan be defeated so easily? Will it be so easy to win a national war with the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is the most popular in the south?
