Chapter 789: The Rabble
In the vast mountains, an army of 40,000 people slowly marched on the official road, more than a dozen exploration horses explored the road in front of the army, and there was a long army in the rear, and there was no end in sight.
The barren mountains are not steep, but just continuous hills, and the official road rises and falls on these hills. The Long Snake Formation March, this is the most dangerous marching formation on the way out, if it encounters an ambush at this time, the army is likely to be disrupted in an instant.
However, this army of the Long Snake Formation marched very calmly, and there was no trace of tension at all.
In the dense forest of the official road, there were more than a dozen figures hidden in the shade of the trees, and their green eyes were staring at the marching army. With a weed in his mouth, he sat on top of a big tree, his eyes casually looking at the army that had no military discipline at all.
"With such a rabble, it is estimated that a thousand of us will be able to make them dizzy here." Haoda's eyes were full of disdain, in his eyes, the army in front of him was not comparable to the Dongjiang Army at all.
Although the enemy army was vast and numerous, it was poorly equipped and did not have a uniform uniform, which was the ordinary clothing of the common people. After looking at it for a long time, Hao Dada couldn't see any regular troops, except for the generals on horseback and the guards who followed closely behind the generals, the rest of the people looked at it and thought that it was a refugee fleeing the famine.
"General, do you want to give me a hundred brothers, so that I can go down and meet them?" There is a tall Bai general next to Haoda, who can't help but ask Haoda for his life.
Hao Da glanced at him, and wanted to refuse without thinking about it, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his mind: "Okay, you take a hundred brothers to kill in the middle, remember, fight and run, no matter what the battle record, don't fall in love." ”
"I know the general!" The black man was very happy and hurriedly agreed.
Haoda didn't say much, and immediately waved his hand to drive the black man away, and then ordered the rest of the eight hundred generals to divide them to each of them to capture various parts of the army below. In the end, only Dada himself and a hundred brothers remained in the same place.
The marching army did not know that it was about to be attacked, and still staggered forward. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on both sides of the official road, and the marching army was immediately frightened, and the shouts of the generals in the army followed.
The army of the Long Snake Formation began to change its formation, stopping to defend on the spot, they had just set up their formation, and the nine hundred cavalry sent out by the vast number had already arrived. Nine charging formations plunged directly into the enemy's ranks, and the slaughter began.
Suddenly ambushed, the army of the long snake formation was difficult to take care of, and could only fight on its own. The terrain restrictions made the 40,000-strong army completely lose its mobility, and could only defend passively, unable to encircle the cavalry of 100 people.
The vastness was clearly visible from the trees, the results of the battle were far beyond his expectations, and the enemy army was indeed as unbearable as he had expected. At this moment, in the eyes of the vast man, these soldiers in front of him cannot be called an army at all, and they are even worse than ordinary bandit gangs.
"Hahaha...... It turns out that these are an army of mud-legged people, brothers, follow me to kill them! "Haoda was sure that the enemy army was only in vain, and immediately no longer had any scruples, and immediately led his army to join the battle array.
The soldiers and horses of the 40,000-strong army are indeed very chaotic, and each of them does not have a unified operation or command. This gave the sneak attack of the Dongjiang army an opportunity to kill the enemy and suddenly show signs of defeat.
Lai Jiaxing and Ling Da are the main generals who led the army this time, and these 40,000 troops are all subordinates of their respective merchants.
Judging from the current situation, these people can usually deal with small bandit gangs, and they can still fight. However, today, when encountering a mighty division like the Dongjiang Army, it was immediately exposed in its original form and became vulnerable.
In the face of the cavalry formation, these gangs fought on their own without organization, and although they were brave, they lacked organization and unity. When they were charged by the cavalry, their numerical superiority unexpectedly became a burden at this moment.
Lai Jiaxing watched the 40,000 army being stirred up into a pot of porridge like this, he jumped to his feet in anger, and scolded those hundred and thousands of generals. However, his scolding was in vain, and the army was already in chaos, so that no one would notice Lai Jiaxing at all.
"Brother Lai, don't scold, it's better to deal with these cavalry quickly, you can't delay." Ling Da could see that the situation was not good, and immediately persuaded Lai Jiaxing to continue to vent the anger in his heart.
"Damn waste, how can such a military force fight then, I think, it's not too late for us to turn around and go back." Lai Jiaxing had no confidence in such an army from the beginning, and the test on the battlefield at this moment has confirmed his previous conjecture.
Ling Dake frowned when he heard this, this time he sent troops and horses to Foshan to take revenge on Zhu Yihai, and he single-handedly made it happen. finally got the approval of the two business gang leaders, how could he give up easily.
You must know that he, the president of the Foshan branch, has no Foshan territory, and he will have no status in the merchant gang in the future, and he will soon be squeezed out by others. Losing the Foshan branch is like cutting off his livelihood and killing him. Ling Dake would never allow such a thing to happen to him, and in the same way, he also knew that Lai Jiaxing's situation was exactly the same as his.
Now that both of them are about to arrive in Foshan, Lai Jiaxing has been dissatisfied with this 'rabble' army along the way, and has been retreating. But they were all persuaded by Ling Dake three times and twice, and when they heard Lai Jiaxing say such things again, Ling Dake was even more dissatisfied in his heart.
"Brother Lai, aren't you afraid that there will be no place for you in the merchant gang in the future?" Ling Dake lowered his face and said coldly.
"This ......" As soon as Lai Jiaxing heard this, he immediately calmed down.
"Brother Lai, if you don't want to be squeezed out of the merchant gang in the future, then please don't give up." Ling Dake's tone was much heavier.
"Brother Ling, I'm really sorry, let's say, what should we do next, everything is up to you." Lai Jiaxing only hesitated slightly, and then relented to Ling Dake.
"Please send the guards immediately, and the younger brother will also transfer the guards, and we will join forces together, and then intercept and kill those cavalry." Ling Dake breathed a sigh of relief, and then told his plan.
"Okay, just do as you say!" Lai Jiaxing didn't dare to delay any longer, and agreed to Ling Dake's request.
The guards of the two were regular soldiers, totaling as many as three thousand, and these people were veterans of the battlefield, but they were not comparable to other rabble. Soon, the three thousand cavalry were assembled under the orders of the two, and the generals who led the troops were all people from the personal guards, Lai Jiaxing and Ling Dake did not interfere and let them play on their own.
