Chapter 247: Nameless Town Besieged
Regardless of whether Chen Jisheng believed it or not, in short, Mao Wenlong believed it, and he directly ordered Chen Jisheng to go down immediately to arrange defense, and if there was the slightest mistake, he would not be spared.
Seeing that Mao Wenlong suddenly became violent, Chen Jisheng immediately withered, didn't dare to say more, went back to the room to get dressed, and ran downstairs.
The movement here also woke up Hong Chengchou, and the old guy opened the door and looked at Mao Wenlong, who was blue and iron-faced, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?" ”
Mao Wenlong glanced back at him, saw that he was already dressed, motioned for him to follow, and then went straight downstairs. As he walked, he said, "A strange woman came to my room last night, and she could have easily killed me, but she didn't. Before leaving, he warned me that it was best for me to be able to defend Nameless Town today. ”
Hong Chengchou was immediately startled and asked, "Who is that woman?" ”
Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Hong Chengchou asked again: "Why didn't you say it last night?" ”
Mao Wenlong glanced back at Hong Chengchou, shrugged his shoulders and said, "The person has already left, and it's useless to say it." ”
Hong Chengchou fell silent.
The two quickly went downstairs, and Chen Jisheng had already finished eating and went out to inspect the defense.
The downstairs was empty, but the only square table with hot steamed buns and two bowls of gruel was on it.
Obviously, these should have been ordered by Chen Jisheng, and Mao Wenlong was not polite, and ate them with Hong Chengchou.
The simple breakfast made the two gobble, and the silent downstairs hall was only the snoring of the two of them drinking porridge.
Mao Wenlong was the first to eat and put down his rice bowl, wiped his mouth with his sleeve casually, and Mao Wenlong said, "Do you want to go outside with me to inspect it?" ”
Hong Chengchou just put down the bowl and nodded in agreement.
Today's Nameless Town is obviously very different than usual, and at this time, people who come here to look for work will arrive one after another. But today, unexpectedly, no one came.
Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou had just left the inn less than a hundred meters away, when they met Chen Jisheng who came in a hurry, and he said suspiciously: "Chief soldier, something is not right, Yuzhong said that there will be people looking for work at this time." But now there is no one to be seen. ”
Mao Wenlong paused for a moment and said in a cold voice: "Immediately send out a scout horse, don't let go of any direction within a radius of three miles, and pay close attention to any movement outside." ”
Chen Jisheng's face tightened, he nodded and said, "My subordinates will do it." ”
Seeing Chen Jisheng leave, Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we still underestimate this nameless town." ”
Mao Wenlong said firmly: "No matter who it is, anyone who dares to go against the Dongjiang Army will not be spared!" ”
By noon, Nameless Town was still calm and had not seen any enemy attack. This made Mao Wenlong very confused, and he began to wonder if the woman was playing tricks on himself last night.
Just when Mao Wenlong's confidence was shaken, a spy sent out in the morning came to report. It is said that in the direction of Kaifeng City, a large army was found coming this way.
"Are you coming? Very good! Mao Wenlong was not surprised.
"Chief soldier, do you want me to take 3,000 cavalry to meet them for a while?" Chen Jisheng immediately asked for battle.
Mao Wenlong turned his head and glared at Chen Jisheng fiercely, and said coldly: "The origin of the enemy army is unknown, we don't know anything, you are going to fight, nonsense!" ”
Chen Jisheng shrunk his neck very innocently, not daring to say anything more.
Mao Wenlong glanced at Hong Chengchou, who was silent, and asked softly, "What can you do to defend against the enemy?" ”
Hong Chengchou was very simple, shook his head and said: "The enemy army doesn't know anything, and now we have nothing else to do except find out their details." ”
Mao Wenlong nodded, turned around and instructed Chen Jisheng: "Immediately send a scout horse to find out everything about the enemy army." Also, send two more sentries to the Guide Mansion and urge them to come as soon as possible, just in case. ”
"My subordinates will do it immediately." Chen Jisheng will not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
On the Kaifeng city wall, Zhuang Yexiang, who had come to Mao Wenlong's room last night, stood on the city tower and watched the 20,000 army go to the nameless town to crusade against Mao Wenlong. She was accompanied by the prefect.
Looking at the 20,000 troops who left in a mighty way, the prefect's face was very ugly. The 20,000 people were organized in Kaifeng City in the middle of the night last night, and the prefect thought that there were so many 'chaotic parties' in his own territory, right under his nose.
Zhuang Yexiang smiled, glanced at the prefect, and chuckled: "What? Scared? ”
The prefect trembled slightly, quickly put on a smiling face, and said with a smile: "The Qing family is the largest family in Kaifeng City, and it really deserves its reputation!" ”
Zhuang Yexiang snorted coldly and said: "You don't need to be a sycophant, to tell you the truth, my subordinates in Kaifeng City are far more than these." So you'd better not have any crooked thoughts, and don't try to tell the court. ”
The prefect's face turned pale with fright, and he repeatedly promised that he would obey Zhuang Yexiang's orders.
"Humph!"
Zhuang Yexiang snorted coldly, and then left on his own, leaving the frightened prefect on the city wall alone.
What scared the prefect the most was that when Zhuang Yexiang left, dozens of guards around him actually followed and left silently.
The prefect looked left and right, looking at the empty surroundings, and this time he felt scared in his heart. Suddenly, he also found that he seemed to have no one to trust in this Kaifeng City.
Not long after Zhuang Yexiang left, there was a sudden assembly of troops in Kaifeng City, and then the city gate opened, and the army left Kaifeng City again in a mighty way, heading in the direction of Nameless Town.
On Mao Wenlong's side, the scouts sent out to spy on the enemy army soon came with the news that the enemy army was about 20,000 people and would arrive at the nameless town in an hour.
Mao Wenlong did not hesitate, and immediately ordered Chen Jisheng to prepare for war. The enemy army is only about 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Mao Wenlong has nothing to worry about this strength.
Chen Jisheng is obviously also full of self-confidence, in his mind, these sudden appearance of enemy troops must not be much stronger.
At present, there are 10,000 horses on Mao Wenlong's side, although less than 1,000 people are the old Dongjiang army, and the rest are newly recruited. But in yesterday's battle, these people performed well, so Chen Jisheng was very confident.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the enemy's 20,000 horses also drove directly to the outside of the nameless town under the supervision of Mao Wenlong. The enemy army directly set up a position, and there was a great momentum of immediate attack.
Mao Wenlong's side did not show weakness, Chen Jisheng led 3,000 cavalry to set up a position with the enemy outside the town, the two armies confronted each other, and the big battle was about to break out!
At this moment, Mao Wenlong still didn't know anything about these enemy forces, and he didn't have any time to understand.
