Chapter 233: Recruiting Troops (3)
Early the next morning, Chen Jisheng led the way in front, and Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou in the back escorted three carriages full of steamed buns, leaving Guide Mansion City, and set off towards the nameless town on the outskirts of Kaifeng as Chen Jisheng said.
Half a day later, Chen Jisheng led everyone to ten miles away from Nameless Town, and it was just lunch time. After Chen Jisheng asked Mao Wenlong for consent, he ordered to rest on the spot for a while, bury the pot to cook by the way, and then rush to the nameless town to do business in one breath after eating and drinking.
Cooking on a fire is familiar to the guards, and it is also a must-have skill for everyone. In these years, there was war everywhere, and sometimes you couldn't meet anyone for days on end.
If you want to fill your stomach, you still need to do it yourself, and after a while, the smell of rice began to waft, causing the soldiers to salivate.
Mao Wenlong joked: "These guys are quite good at cooking!" ”
Usually these guards follow Mao Wenlong's side, and Mao Wenlong's mouth is a well-known picky eater. And since he arrived, he has also come up with a lot of new delicacies, and these guards have been brought up for a long time, and they have cooked twice.
Hong Chengchou squinted at Mao Wenlong, and squeezed: "It's not all for you to bring." ”
Mao Wenlong smiled and stopped answering. In fact, Mao Wenlong felt that in order to make the soldiers have strong ideas, in addition to giving them a broad and empty goal. It should be cultivated from the bits and pieces of life, like the guards who have followed him for a long time.
All of them have been raised to be tricky, so if these people can't live such a life in the future, they will definitely be unwilling. They will inevitably find a way to get back to their current days.
Several bowls of steaming mutton gruel were sent to Mao Wenlong, and the aroma was full of mouthwater.
The three of them were grumbling with hunger, and Mao Wenlong was not polite, so he picked up a bowl and started drying. Chen Jisheng and Hong Chengchou did not lag behind, and they snorted and ate with hot air.
"Kill!"
Mao Wenlong and his bowl of mutton gruel had not yet been eaten, when they suddenly heard the sound of killing, and groups of screaming people rushed out in all directions.
"Formation, protect the general army!"
Chen Jisheng threw away the big bowl in his hand for the first time, showed his saber and roared.
In the face of the sudden attack, none of the hundred guards panicked, and according to Chen Jisheng's order, they quickly formed a circular formation, protecting Mao Wenlong and those steamed bun carriages in the middle.
The people who rushed out were all kinds of farm tools and sticks, and they didn't even have a formal ordnance. Obviously, there is no doubt that this is a group of people, and they should have been moved by crooked thoughts when they saw the food.
More than a dozen big men dressed in Ming military uniforms rushed to the front, and instantly arrived opposite Mao Wenlong and the others, and the two sides stopped at a distance of ten meters.
The man in military uniform is headed by a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, about 1.8 meters tall, and he stands out like a group of ordinary people. He opened his mouth and shouted coldly at Mao Wenlong and the others: "We won't hurt you with the food handed over to you, otherwise, the white knife will go in and the red knife will come out." ”
"Hand over the grain ......"
"Hand over the grain ......"
As soon as Dahan's voice fell, the people behind him immediately stood up and shouted, and the momentum was not small.
After Chen Jisheng and Mao Wenlong glanced at each other, with Mao Wenlong's consent, he stepped out of the crowd, stood directly opposite the big man, and looked at the other party with disdain.
Judging from the sparse formation of the other party, Chen Jisheng preliminarily judged that the other party definitely did not have a thousand people, and it was probably between five hundred and eight hundred. He is a hundred guards, and he is definitely the elite of the Dongjiang Army, and the equipment is the best in the whole army, so he is almost armed to the teeth.
When encountering such a people, these guards can definitely fight against ten, and it is not a problem at all.
After Chen Jisheng roughly estimated the strength of both the enemy and us, he laughed and said, "The thief from there actually hit the military master with his idea. Retreat at once, or you will be splattered with blood. ”
From the appearance of the enemy, Chen Jisheng has already seen that these people are definitely not habitual offenders, they should be people who have gathered temporarily, hungry and have no food to eat. So he did not intend to kill them, but persuaded them to leave. At the same time, it also saves yourself these unnecessary troubles.
However, Chen Jisheng still underestimated these people's demand for food, and the big man led by him immediately glared at him and roared viciously: "Where did the yellow-haired child come from, eat a knife from the military master." ”
Dahan is obviously a short-tempered person, and when Chen Jisheng was so provoked, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he rushed up to fight directly with a knife.
The tall man looked clumsy, but in fact, at the same time as he spoke, the war saber in his hand had already slashed straight at Chen Jisheng's head.
The saber slashed through the air, with a sharp whistling sound, which showed that the force was not small.
Chen Jisheng's face changed immediately, and he didn't expect the reckless man in front of him to do it without saying a word. Hearing the roar carried on the blade, he didn't dare to be careless at all, even if he swung the knife and bullied him, the last came first, and he was ready to unload the strength on the blade of the big man with the skill of four or two thousand catties.
"Ding!"
A crisp sound of gold and iron sounded.
The two figures staggered past in an instant, and the big man's chopper smashed directly into the dirt, making a big noise, and raising dust all over the ground.
Chen Jisheng was unscathed, but there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and his hands were still slightly numb at the moment, which showed how powerful the big man's knife just now was.
Chen Jisheng was surprised by the strength of Dahan's blade, and he didn't dare to let Dahan attack calmly like this. Turning around in an instant, he swung his knife and slashed at the big man who had not had time to put away the knife.
Hearing the sound of the sword wind behind him, Dahan was obviously also a clever person. He actually fell directly to the ground, rolled three times in a row to avoid Chen Jisheng's knife, and then turned over and stood up three meters away.
"Yo, the lazy donkey rolls, the body is good!" was easily resolved by the big man with one knife, Chen Jisheng suddenly became interested, opened his mouth and squeezed, and then waved the knife to bully himself again.
The big man had just stood firm, and before he could see the situation in front of him, he immediately heard the sword wind attacking again. Obviously, he has understood that his speed is not Chen Jisheng's opponent at all.
As soon as he lost the opportunity, he was forced step by step, and the big man yelled angrily, and this time he didn't care if he would be hurt. He was no longer hiding, but stood firmly in place, and with a move to split Huashan with his roar, he swung down fiercely in front of him.
Chen Jisheng happened to rush in front of Dahan at this time, if he ignored Dahan's cleaver and still handed the knife to chop, he would naturally be able to hurt Dahan. But in this way, he will inevitably be injured by the big man's chopping knife.
Chen Jisheng didn't do anything about the two defeats and injuries, he suddenly made a sharp turn, rushed forward and suddenly jumped to the side, swinging his knife and slashing the big man from the other direction.
