Chapter 843: Reinforcements
Cheng Guangzuo's words are indeed exaggerated, but they are not impossible. Xu Fuju was also hesitant after hearing it, and he didn't dare to guarantee that the reinforcements would arrive in time. As things stand, the longer they stay here, the more dangerous they become.
After pondering deeply, Xu Fuzuo suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Guangzuo, we really can't stay like this anymore, if possible, I hope you can take a hundred warriors and sneak out quietly." ”
Cheng Guangzuo suddenly frowned: "Big brother, there are enemy troops everywhere outside, is it possible to sneak out quietly?" ”
Xu Fuzuo was asked like this, and suddenly there was nothing to do, and after a while, he sighed lightly and said: "According to this view, we can only refuse to stay here now, I hope that the reinforcements can arrive soon!" ”
After that, the room fell silent, and Xu Fujuan and Cheng Guangzuo didn't say anything more, silently frowning.
At this moment, there are 20,000 cavalry in the mountains and fields of Yongzhou Mansion rushing overnight, the road is rugged, and it is extremely difficult to walk.
This army is the army led by Chen Jisheng, who received Mao Wenlong's secret letter and rushed to Guizhou day and night. He was accompanied by Chen Qiyu himself.
The two walked side by side, holding the reins in one hand and the torch in the other, silently walking in the night.
Chen Qiyu looked at the dark night in front of him, frowned and said, "General Chen, why don't we take a break for a while." ”
Someone had just come to report that the army was exhausted and wanted to stop and rest. However, Chen Jisheng was anxious to perfunctify their safety, but he refused to stop.
After persevering like this for half an hour, and after a little more travel, some people in the army had already fainted from exhaustion.
Chen Qiyu really couldn't stand it at the moment, so he had to risk offending Chen Jisheng and made a statement to him, hoping to stop continuing to hurry.
However, this time it was unexpected by Chen Qiyu, Chen Jisheng actually hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
Chen Qiyu didn't believe it at first, but it wasn't until Chen Jisheng really ordered the whole army to rest in place for an hour before he suddenly woke up.
Chen Jisheng got off the war horse, took off the water bag from the horse, and after pouring a few sips, he looked at Chen Qiyu with a smile and said, "Where are we now?" ”
Chen Qiyu didn't dare to slack off, immediately took out the map from his arms, looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "Now we are at the boundary of Yongzhou Mansion, if we are fast enough tonight, we can arrive in Jingzhou tomorrow." ”
Chen Jisheng was secretly unhappy after hearing this, according to Mao Wenlong's secret letter, Xu Fu's performance was very critical this time. If you don't get there as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be an accident.
So far, Chen Jisheng has been very unhappy that the speed of the march is too slow. Every day that passed, his heart became more and more anxious, but unfortunately this way was not peaceful.
The rout and rebellion on the way, as well as the bandits who sometimes coveted the war horses of the army and did not want to die, all of which wasted a lot of time and experience when the army was marching.
Dissatisfied with such a speed, Chen Jisheng said: "No, this is still too slow, we must rush to Xu Fuzuo within three days." Ten full days have passed, and every day of delay will make them more dangerous. ”
Chen Qiyu was very helpless: "It's not fast at all, this is still in the territory of Huguang, if we enter the territory of Guizhou, the speed of our march will inevitably be greatly reduced." ”
"Why is that?" Chen Jisheng was very confused.
"Because the territory of Guizhou is bound to be a rebellion of vassal kings, once we enter, we will inevitably be discovered. When they know about it, they will inevitably design an ambush, and then we will not be able to move faster. What's even more terrifying is that we are likely to fall into the same predicament as General Xu. ”
Chen Qiyu was very helpless, he had long expected that this would be the result. Originally, he should have been more careful, but now looking at Chen Jisheng's appearance, he was afraid that Chen Jisheng would lose his mind in the future.
But now it seems that the more he is afraid of something, the more he comes, Chen Jisheng is on the verge of losing his mind at this moment. Chen Qiyu had to start worrying about the outcome of the 20,000 soldiers and horses in front of him.
Chen Jisheng obviously didn't know Chen Qiyu's worries, he was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "We are cavalry, so we naturally rely on speed, this is our advantage and we can't give up." When you enter the territory of Guizhou, I will personally lead 5,000 warriors to open the way, so you don't care about anything else, just concentrate on hurrying! ”
Chen Qiyu suddenly frowned: "General, will this work?" ”
Chen Jisheng said in a condensed voice: "If it doesn't work, it has to work, in short, you must meet Xu Fuyu and them within three days, and you can't slow down for half a day." ”
Chen Qiyu was very helpless, the general of this march was Chen Jisheng as the commander. He Chen Qiyu is just a helper, and he has no right to be in charge at all.
After thinking about it for a while, in the end, Chen Qiyu agreed, and he had no right to object at all.
After setting a countermeasure, the army had rested enough, and in a burst of cheers, the army soon embarked on the journey again!
Early the next morning, Shijia Village began to be lively, and in the camp of the Dongjiang Army, the soldiers had already finished arrasing. Xu Fuzuo and Cheng Guangzuo both began to point generals, and then led their troops to their respective defensive locations.
As soon as the arrangement was completed, there was immediately movement outside the village, and I saw that outside the camp of the Dongjiang Army, there were more than a dozen soldiers of the feudal king's rebellion, shouting outside the land of a stone's throw. It is necessary for the Dongjiang Army to surrender on its own initiative as soon as possible, otherwise the army will be pressed and not a single piece of armor will be killed.
Xu Fuzuo has long been accustomed to this, and he is not angry at all, while Chengguangzuo obviously does not have such cultivation. Every time he encounters such a thing, he always has to be impetuous, and this time is no exception, waving the saber in his hand, he stands up and calls the other party.
But what he never expected was that as soon as Chengguangzuo stood out this time, he was immediately attacked by a rain of arrows. Fortunately, the guards behind him were quick to see and move, and the two big shields protected him in time. However, one of the two guards was killed by an arrow.
This result made Cheng Guangzuo even more annoyed, and he yelled but was helpless, as the second rain of arrows came. Cheng Guangzuo was finally persuaded by the remaining guards to return to the defense line of the Dongjiang Army.
After a moment's of movement, calm returned to the front lines on both sides. The dozen or so vassal king's soldiers who had just been very arrogant reappeared, still repeating the previous scolding, and it seemed that it was going to continue indefinitely.
Cheng Guangzuo came to Xu Fuzuo's side very angrily and shouted loudly: "Big brother, please allow me to lead the troops to destroy those rats." ”
"Calm down!" Xu Fuzuo directly let out a loud roar, suppressing Chengguangzuo's momentum.
