Chapter 248: Battle
The two armies outside the nameless town confronted each other, and the 3,000 cavalry of the Dongjiang Army faced the 20,000 unknown enemy troops, and Chen Jisheng and the Dongjiang Army were still burning.
The enemy did not dare to underestimate the Dongjiang Army, and the formation set up was completely defensive, and there was no willingness to attack.
Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou personally supervised the battle in front of the gate of Nameless Town, and behind the two of them were the remaining 7,000 infantry!
The two armies only faced off briefly, and then Chen Jisheng, under the orders of Mao Wenlong, took the lead in attacking.
Under the leadership of Chen Jisheng, the 3,000 cavalry lined up in an offensive formation and plunged into the enemy's position like an off-string arrow.
"Kill!"
The earth-shattering sound of killing resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the dust raised on the battlefield covered the sky and the sun, making Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou unable to see the real situation on the battlefield.
But judging from the chaos on the enemy's position, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou did not have the slightest worry on their faces. Although the enemy was well defended, it was still completely disrupted by the 3,000 cavalry led by Chen Jisheng.
"Chen Jisheng, this guy is indeed a fierce general, and he has his own ruthlessness in leading troops." Hong Chengchou has always been quite dissatisfied with Chen Jisheng, but at this moment he sincerely praises him.
"If he hears you, I'm sure that guy's tail will rise to the sky." Mao Wenlong glanced back at Hong Chengchou and said with a smile.
The two were talking and laughing, and both of them seemed to have wisdom in their hands about the situation on the battlefield, and they were not worried about the situation on the battlefield at all.
This made the guards beside him very confused, although the 3,000 cavalry led by Chen Jisheng was powerful, but after all, he was facing more than 20,000 enemy troops. Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou's performance is obviously a little inappropriate.
However, the changes on the battlefield proved that Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou's self-confidence was right. The 20,000 enemy troops were finally slaughtered by 3,000 cavalry, and the generals could no longer do what they ordered, and the enemy soldiers had begun to flee.
"Kill! Kill! Kill ......"
Chen Jisheng's majestic killing voice fluttered faintly over the battlefield!
"The enemy army is too weak." Mao Wenlong put down the binoculars, shook his head and smiled.
Hong Chengchou echoed with a smile: "The enemy army is not weak, but they lack a spear formation that can fight against the cavalry. ”
Mao Wenlong smiled and nodded, and then prepared to order the whole army to attack. However, at this time, a scout horse suddenly galloped in, and before the horse had completely stopped, the sentry on the horse's back flew directly and jumped off the horse.
"Report ......"
The sentry knelt on one leg in front of Mao Wenlong, looking panicked.
"What's the matter?"
Mao Wenlong's face changed slightly, and an ominous premonition arose.
"Report, the rear of the enemy has found a large army coming to ......"
"How many?"
"Tell the general army, the preliminary estimate is no less than 20,000 soldiers and horses, including about 5,000 cavalry."
"What ......"
Mao Wenlong was immediately shocked, such a situation was completely unexpected.
Hong Chengchou's face also changed greatly, and he immediately asked, "When will the enemy arrive?" ”
The sentry hesitated for a moment before he said bitterly: "The enemy army has arrived ......"
There is no need for the sentinel to state it, Mao Wenlong has already seen it in the telescope. The already scattered and routed enemy forces will begin to regroup after their reinforcements arrive.
And the enemy's reinforcement cavalry has begun to rush up, melee with Chen Jisheng's 3,000 cavalry.
"All the troops are attacking!"
Mao Wenlong threw away the binoculars in his hand, turned over on his horse, drew his saber and yelled.
"Chief Soldier ......" Hong Chengchou immediately stepped forward to dissuade Mao Wenlong.
"Send someone to find out immediately when the reinforcements from the Guide Mansion will arrive." Mao Wenlong just threw down such a sentence, and then rushed to the battlefield with the remaining seven thousand soldiers.
Chen Jisheng's 3,000 cavalry will have been heavily surrounded by the enemy's cavalry, and there are countless infantry outside the town. Chen Jisheng and they are already in danger, and Mao Wenlong is anxious at the moment.
"Kill ......"
Mao Wenlong took the lead and rushed to the front, he was arrogant, but he suffered from the guards around him.
looked nervous one by one, desperately chasing after Mao Wenlong's side, for Mao Wenlong's safety.
As guards, their duty is to protect Mao Wenlong's safety, if Mao Wenlong has any accidents, it will be their dereliction of duty.
Although the enemy had been killed by Chen Jisheng's 3,000 cavalry before, the reinforcements that came later not only made up for the previous losses, but also more than doubled the number of men and horses. reached the terrible 40,000 people, so that Chen Jisheng's 3,000 cavalry was almost submerged in the enemy formation.
The most fatal thing is that the cavalry led by Chen Jisheng was pinned down by the enemy's cavalry, and completely lost the advantage of cavalry, mobility. The cavalry without mobility was surrounded by enemy troops, and it can be imagined how dangerous Chen Jisheng and them are at the moment.
Hong Chengchou, who was left by Mao Wenlong, was so anxious that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he jumped to his feet and roared loudly behind him: "Nonsense, nonsense!" ”
Hong Chengchou was very angry, obviously very unhappy to be treated like this by Mao Wenlong. How can there be a general like him in the world who actually went to the battlefield in person, but left him, the nominal commander, behind. And let yourself go to find out if the reinforcements from the Guide Mansion have arrived?
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Hong Chengchou was very angry, but he was helpless.
At this moment, there was no one around him at all, except that the sentry had not left just now, looking at him in a daze.
"You, immediately go to the direction of Guide Mansion, look for reinforcements that are coming, let them come to support at full speed immediately, go quickly!"
In the end, Hong Chengchou roared directly, completely venting his resentment on this poor sentry.
In the face of the madman-like Hong Chengchou, the sentinel did not dare to hesitate at all, and after he immediately responded loudly, he turned over and put on his mount and walked away.
Hong Chengchou frowned and glanced around, then turned around and quickly rushed back to the inn.
After a while, I saw a horse flying out of the inn, Hong Chengchou found a war horse out of nowhere, and after riding it, he chased Mao Wenlong's figure in the distance and rushed to the battlefield.
Seven thousand infantry followed behind Mao Wenlong and plunged headlong into the enemy's position, and the two armies immediately began to scuffle.
Mao Wenlong's own skills can only be regarded as mediocre, and in such a chaotic battlefield, he may die unexpectedly at any time. Fortunately, he was guarded by nearly a hundred guards who were not afraid of death, and he was not in any danger for a while.
And Mao Wenlong also sadly found that at some point, he had been protected by all the guards. Not to mention killing the enemy, you can't even see the shadow of the enemy.
Mao Wenlong was very angry, but he was helpless, although he was impulsive, he was not a fool. I still have a few pounds and a few taels, and since I can't kill the enemy happily, I can only go behind the guards and hand knives to the enemy soldiers who were cut off by the guards.
