Chapter 21: Spring (Fourth Update)

After entering the Jiangxi territory, Gao Cheng galloped for dozens of miles, except for the white bones, he did not see any living people, in the wilderness and ruins, there were jackals looking for food everywhere with red eyes, when they saw someone riding a horse, these jackals did not have the slightest fear, they neighed and pounced, wanting to bite Gao Cheng and the horse to death as food.

The horse had not experienced this, neighed, and was a little panicked to get out of the way. Gao Cheng pulled the reins hard, forcibly controlling the direction of the mount, and then with a bang, the dragon groaned, the long sword came out of the sheath, Gao Cheng made a move, and a little cold roared out, and the sharp and incomparable sword qi accurately sank into the jackal's head.

Puff, puff, dozens of blood lights surged, these jackals whined, and were shocked by the murderous aura displayed by Gao Cheng, only a few jackals wanted to escape, but he took out a few copper coins and infused them with true qi and hit the brain.

"What a troubled time! These jackals must have eaten human flesh, this is so crazy, if ordinary people encounter it, I am afraid that they will only become the food of these jackals!"

He sighed slightly, the world under the governance of the Mengyuan Imperial Court is like this, if it does not die, it is really unreasonable. Gao Cheng looked at the direction, this place was still a few hundred miles away from Yuanzhou, but it was already close to the area where the peasant army and Meng Yuan were fighting.

Not long after continuing to move forward, Gao Cheng heard the sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and he looked extremely and saw a group of cavalry marching on the road, looking at the clothes on his body, among them there were a hundred Mongolian cavalry and nine hundred Han soldiers.

This is a standard Mongolian thousand-man team, and now the Mongol Yuan court except for the elite Xue army and 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, the local army is a mixture of Mongolian and Chinese, of which the Mongols are few, but occupy the main position. All Han soldiers had to obey orders from the Mongols. Even Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou during the period when Meng Yuan went south, these Hanchens who made great contributions to Meng Yuan were no exception.

Gao Cheng's brows moved, and suddenly he heard movement from both sides of the road, so he pulled up the reins and mounted his horse to a mound not far away.

"Looks like I don't need to do anything!" Gao Cheng muttered. Under his keen five senses, he found that there were ambushes on both sides of the road, which seemed to be the men and horses of the Yuanzhou peasant army.

After a while, the Mongol cavalry came to the ambush site, which was lined with mounds, but the mounds were not high, with sparse woods on them, and there seemed to be no people. So the Mengyuan cavalry didn't care, it was difficult to hide people in this place, and there was definitely no ambush.

However, they underestimated the means of the rebels, especially the means of the Mingjiao Five Elements Banner, among which the Houtu Banner was proficient in civil engineering, and digging pits under the hills on both sides was a small means.

When everyone entered the attack range, there was a bang, and a group of people suddenly emerged from the hills on both sides, threw one fire bomb after another, and landed in the middle of the Mengyuan cavalry with a deafening roar. Suddenly the Mongolian thousand-man team fell into chaos.

"Kill, kill the Tartars!"

The rebels in ambush on both sides came out one after another, and there were more than a dozen men and horses wearing earthy yellow thick soil flags, in addition to them, there were two thousand peasant troops armed with knives and guns, these people were wearing simple clothes and red turbans, shouting and killing the Mengyuan cavalry below.

Gao Cheng shook his head in the distance, how long he had experienced fighting in the Three Kingdoms World, his vision and means gradually rose, and now let him personally command an army of thousands of people, and he could also lift a heavy weight.

With such a vision, he looked at the Yi Army and the Mengyuan cavalry, and it was easy to find the shortcomings of the two armies, among which the Mengyuan cavalry was well-trained, but the movements of the 100 Mongolian cavalry and the other 900 Han soldiers were not consistent, and they were suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, and the 900 Han soldiers were instantly chaotic. This, in turn, caused a hundred well-trained Mongol cavalry to react a beat slower.

And the rebels, except for a dozen people with thick earth banners, basically belonged to the rabble, there were no archers, and they swarmed directly with spears. It can be said that there is no order.

If it were to face each other head-on, this Mongol thousand-man team would be able to wipe out the rebels in an instant.

As Gao Cheng expected, the hundred Mongolian cavalry quickly reacted, began to roar and shout, and directly drew their scimitars and rushed towards the rebels, plopping and fluttering, and dozens of rebels fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Death to the Tartars!"

At this time, a roar echoed the heavens and the earth, Gao Cheng's eyes shifted to the past, and saw a bearded man holding a steel spear, reaching out and stabbing a gun on the armor of the Mongolian cavalry, directly stabbing the iron armor, and then the spear was flicked, and with a bang, the corpse smashed several cavalrymen who rushed to the air.

He seized the opportunity, flew and landed on the back of one of the horses, and then pulled the reins, and the spear waved, and roared, and the dull spear made the sound of the wind, and the two Mongol cavalrymen next to him were smashed and flew up, screaming and falling to the ground. He galloped on his horse, roaring angrily in his mouth, and went straight to the core of the Mongol thousand-man team, and every time he shot with a roar, several Mongol cavalrymen would inevitably fall off their horses and be killed.

"This person is so brave and brave! What a natural fierce general!" Gao Cheng suddenly exclaimed, this young man's strength is not very good, and he has only trained about the second layer, and in this rebel army, the position is not high. But in the face of the onslaught of a dozen Mongol cavalry, he was brave and fearless, and roared to meet him.

As a result, the Mongol cavalry whose strength was above him fell off his horse, but he did not have the slightest injury on his body, it seems that he has a special sense of smell and sense for battlefield fighting, even under the siege of the Mongol cavalry, he can go back and forth freely. Raising your hand to kill is like mowing grass!

Such a person is a natural fierce general, even Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang under Gao Cheng are far inferior to him, as long as he is given the opportunity to grow, he will definitely be a killing god who charges into battle and no one can stop.

"Bandits, don't be arrogant!" The commander of the Mongolian thousand-man team burst out in anger, looking at the young men slaughtering his own men on the other side, he couldn't bear it anymore and rode out. The spear in his hand burst out with fierce energy.

He had practiced in the King Kong Temple for a period of time, his internal strength was not weak, and he was proficient in spear moves, with a tragic killing aura, and he was obviously also a brave general who often led troops into battle.

The spear and spear collided in the air, splattering sparks. The man's face changed, he instantly dropped the spear in his hand, lowered his head and rushed forward with his war horse, dodging the sweep that the Mongolian commander followed closely. He has not grown up yet, and he can be called a fierce general in front of ordinary people, but there is still a big gap between him and the Mongolian commander who cultivates internal strength.

"Chang Yuchun, you are not the opponent of this Tartar, retreat!" the leader of the rebel army roared, and then jumped into the crowd with two swords in hand, and the two swords swung with sharp energy, cutting off the heads of the cavalrymen one by one.

This leader knew the gap between his own soldiers and horses and the Mongol cavalry, and this ambush was just to defeat the momentum of the Mengyuan forward, so after charging and killing for a while, he began to beckon the brothers to retreat to the hills on both sides. At present, this Mongolian thousand-man team has injured two or three hundred people, and it has already damaged its vitality. Their purpose has been achieved.

Gao Cheng heard his shout from a distance, and suddenly his eyes froze, looking at the man who was charging into battle. "He is Chang Yuchun, who claims to lead an army of 100,000 and is unstoppable in the world?"
