Chapter 69: Siege and Interception (4)
Hong Chengchou was not careful, and dozens of horses were captured by the Dongjiang army, and his subordinates were beheaded more than 20 levels. Such strength is by no means comparable to ordinary rogues.
"Who are you?" Hong Chengchou's face changed uncertainly, and if he continued to fight like this, his 1,500 subordinates might not be able to win over the other party's only a few hundred people.
Now he can only hope that the lieutenant general can bring troops over for reinforcements as soon as possible, otherwise he really can't leave this gang of thieves behind.
Chen Jisheng had already seen through Hong Chengchou's thoughts, and when he saw that he asked, he didn't respond, but pointed at Hong Chengchou with a saber, and his eyes burst with fierceness, and then rode his horse with two guards and went straight to Hong Chengchou.
Seeing that the other party was menacing, Hong Chengchou didn't dare to be careless, and tightened the saber in his hand to catch up.
The galloping war horses flew on all fours, and at the urging of their respective masters, they rushed straight at each other.
"Ding, ding!"
When the two sides staggered by, the sound of gold and iron resonating was endless.
Chen Jisheng swung a powerful knife and collided with Hong Chengchou's saber fiercely. The latter felt the numbness in his palms, an unsteady, and the saber flew out of his hand.
Hong Chengchou's face immediately changed greatly, and he saw Chen Jisheng's saber coming straight to his chest, and seeing that he was about to become a soul under the knife, he simply closed his eyes and waited for death.
A hint of abuse flashed in Chen Jisheng's eyes, and at the last moment, the saber suddenly made a sharp turn and provoked Hong Chengchou's general hat.
Chen Jisheng obviously showed mercy to Hong Chengchou's subordinates and did not take his life. And his two guards didn't have such a good fate, and they were directly beheaded by the two guards of the Dongjiang Army.
Hong Chengchou didn't wait for the expected death scene, only felt a sudden lightness on the top of his head, and the helmet and the headscarf wrapped in his hair were picked up.
Hong Chengchou, who was scattered in a cloak, escaped from death, he was shocked, his face was stunned, he turned his horse's head to stare at Chen Jisheng's figure, he looked dazed.
The other party could have stabbed himself in the heart at that moment just now, but he didn't do it.
"Why? Why....... Hong Chengchou whispered softly, really not understanding why the grain thief gave up a great opportunity and spared his life.
Chen Chensheng didn't have Hong Chengchou's idle effort, and after shocking Hong Chengchou, he immediately covered other subordinates who had not won the war horse to seize the horse.
In the moment when Hong Chengchou was in a daze, he cooperated with his subordinates tacitly, and instantly dodged dozens of horses and beheaded more than thirty levels.
It's a pity that the Dongjiang Army also suffered casualties at this time, and several were killed by officers and soldiers in the melee, and died quite tragically, and the moment they fell to the ground, they were trampled into meat by the ruthless horses' hooves.
Fortunately, they did not sacrifice in vain, and the Dongjiang army captured dozens of war horses for this purpose, so that more than 100 people had war horses.
Chen Jisheng gave an order, and more than 100 subordinates with war horses immediately formed a formation, with Chen Jisheng as the tip of the knife, the whole formation was triangular, and the rest of the infantry all gathered behind them.
"Kill!"
A roar of pneumatic mountains and rivers burst out from Chen Jisheng's mouth, and the bloodstained saber was raised in the air and slapped on the horse's buttocks.
The war horse let out a mournful roar and rushed out in a frenzy, like lightning.
"Kill!"
More than 400 officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army shouted in unison, and their prestige soared into the sky, and the momentum was like a rainbow following Chen Jisheng and rushing straight up, with a murderous aura and a heart-wrenching spirit.
The Dongjiang Army, which has been tempered in the bloody battle with the Tatars every day, is by no means comparable to these ordinary officers and soldiers in front of them, and the momentum that rushed to the sky just now is enough to crush the psychological defense line of the officers and soldiers.
Hong Chengchou was deeply shocked at this moment, and strengthened his guess just now: "These people are by no means ordinary rogues. ”
Chen Jisheng took the lead, and the bloody saber emitted a strange red light, and more than a hundred subordinates were like beasts in the wilderness, directly stabbing into the officers and soldiers who had begun to panic.
Blood splattered, mourning erupted, and the officers and soldiers immediately fell into panic, and the formation was chaotic, and they could only let the Dongjiang army do it, and they were killed crying and crying for their mother.
The infantry of the Dongjiang Army, which rushed after the cavalry, quickly jumped on the horses that had no owner, and then joined the cavalry team that was rushing to kill.
The officers and soldiers who had gathered together were cut in half. The Dongjiang Army also hid more than 100 war horses again.
It was only at this time that Hong Chengchou reacted and immediately issued an order to collect the scattered subordinates.
Chen Jisheng saw that the opportunity could not be lost, and once again led the troops to take advantage of the chaos to kill, until Hong Chengchou collected his subordinates, all the Dongjiang army already had war horses, and some guys rode one to lead another.
More than 500 officers and soldiers were killed and wounded in three charges, and more than 500 horses were taken away. The combat strength of the Dongjiang Army is indeed powerful, and although the officers and men have formed a formation again, they have already developed a fear of the Dongjiang Army.
Morale fell to the bottom, Hong Chengchou continued to revive morale, but he knew that he was invincible, and he did not dare to attack easily, and now the only way was to drag the Dongjiang Army and wait for his deputy general to bring troops to help.
At this moment, Hong Chengchou's long-awaited subordinates finally arrived, and the roaring sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.
The corners of Chen Jisheng's mouth twitched slightly, without any hesitation, he immediately turned the horse's head, recognized the direction of Tongguan, and turned around and ran away with all his subordinates.
It was like a rainbow just now, but in the blink of an eye, he immediately became a deserter, and such a change once again made Hong Chengchou fall into astonishment.
By the time he reacted, Chen Jisheng and the others had already run out of almost a mile.
Hong Chengchou didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led troops to bite them behind their buttocks. Such a force suddenly appeared in Han Cheng, if they were allowed to escape today, before figuring out the true identities of these people in the future, Hong Chengchou would definitely believe that he would not even be able to sleep well.
Soon, Hong Chengchou's deputy general also led his troops to catch up, and seeing Hong Chengchou's gloomy face, the deputy general didn't even dare to put a fart. When he saw the situation in the valley, he already had a premonition that something was wrong, and immediately brought troops over to reinforce him, but he didn't expect to be a step too late in the end.
Now, seeing Hong Chengchou's stinky face, he thought that he would definitely be held accountable afterwards, and when he thought of this, the deputy general immediately felt full of resentment.
And the opportunity to atone for his sins in front of him is those grain thieves who are still running for their lives in front, and only by taking these people down can he not be held accountable by Hong Chengchou afterwards.
As soon as he thought of this, he should urge the horse to the death, and lead his subordinates to kill the Dongjiang army.
Chen Jisheng's riding skills are completely impeccable, and it stands to reason that they can completely escape. And he suffered a loss, he was unfamiliar with the place, took a detour, a dead end, and was gradually caught up by the officers and soldiers.
Hong Chengchou quickly noticed this, and at this moment, a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face.
In the end, the Dongjiang Army was blocked by more than 2,000 officers and soldiers by a river, and they could no longer escape.
