Chapter Twenty-Nine: Stopping the Enemy
The Tanma ran back and forth to convey the battle situation on the front line, and Lu Chang was waiting for news from the front line. An hour later, Lu Chang finally waited for the news he needed to know. A fast horse galloped over and dismounted in front of Lu Chang: "Report, my lord, the Su Guards are almost unable to withstand it, and the Jianghuai Army is attacking very fiercely." β
"Got it, let's find out and report again."
"No, sir."
After the horse left, Lu Chang ordered: "Go." β
Lu Chang is a soldier of the county government, there is no cavalry, there are war horses in the baggage camp, Lu Chang selects soldiers who can fight on horseback from the army, and a total of twenty qualified cavalrymen are selected.
On this expedition, Lu Changsuo led two infantry regiments and four brigades, with a total of 800 people. Arranged for a regiment of 400 men to guard the grain and grass, and set off with another regiment of 400 men.
When the general Chen Ling was pursued and killed by the Jianghuai army, Lu Chang arrived with his troops. Seeing Chen Ling galloping in the distance, Lu Chang hurriedly drove his horse to meet him.
"General, don't worry, Lu Chang has come to the rescue."
Chen Ling was fleeing for his life in a panic, but when he saw a pair of people and horses in front of him, he was overjoyed when he saw that it was Lu Chang who had stayed behind to protect the baggage. However, he was immediately disappointed again, the number of people was too small, how could only a few hundred people resist Du Fuwei's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?
"Lu Chang, can you be in the camp? Your little soldiers and horses won't make any difference, so quickly withdraw with me. β
"General, you can't let the thieves bite you, once you bite the general, it's dangerous. You withdraw first, and I will take some of my men to resist for a while, so that the general can evacuate safely. β
Can Chen Ling not be moved in his heart? People are not afraid of thieves risking death to save each other, which shows that Lu Chang is loyal. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else, so Chen Ling had to nod in agreement.
"Don't be too reluctant, just withdraw quickly, it's better to save your life than anything."
"No, General, I'll be careful. Xin Wen, with the army to escort the general, must be escorted to Jiangdu City first in safety, and if there is a mistake, he will come to see him. β
"No, your lordship. The safety of the general will be guaranteed, and if there is any mistake, come and see you. β
Originally, Chen Ling thought that Lu Chang was going to lead the army to resist Du Fuwei's thieves, but now when he heard it, it turned out that he was letting these troops protect him! Chen Ling was so moved that he didn't know what to say.
Xin Wen led an army of 400 men to protect Chen Ling, while Lu Chang led more than 20 cavalry to fight forward to meet Du Fuwei's pursuers.
Chen Ling saw that this was simply the rhythm of looking for death, and the soldiers and horses couldn't even make a splash at this point. Chen Ling was very emotional, this Lu Chang was a hero at a young age, and he had such courage and courage. Well, if you don't die, a certain family must thank him well.
Xingshì did not allow Chen Ling to think too much, and Xin Wen's four hundred soldiers escorted him and the remnants of the army to retreat in a hurry.
Lu Chang galloped at the front, Zhang Yu followed closely behind, behind him was the majestic sea, and then there were twenty cavalrymen. This small group of cavalry lined up in a straight line and rushed towards Duvowe's army.
The front was full of soldiers of the Sui Dynasty army who were being pursued and killed by Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army, and Lu Chang had no choice but to move north around the road.
In the rear of the chasing soldiers, Du Fuwei also saw a group of reinforcements rushing over, and as a result, most of this reinforcements escorted Chen Ling to escape, leaving only more than 20 people, this is fucking looking for death!
Du Fuwei wanted to capture Chen Ling alive, and led the Jianghuai army to rush over the mountains and fields. Such a large army was enough to drown Lu Chang's cavalry.
However, Lu Chang is not stupid, he has already thought of countermeasures.
Lu Chang is the benchmark, and wherever he rushes, the people behind him follow. Lu Chang saw that the distance was very close, and the war horse drew an arc in the advance, he cut in from the north to the south, and instead rushed head-on to the Jianghuai army, he crossed vertically along the front line of the opposite army, so as to separate the Jianghuai army from the situation of chasing and killing the Sui army.
The hundred-pound overlord lance hardly uses any strength, and it costs people to die just by relying on the speed of a war horse, which is a sharp weapon for harvesting life. Wherever the eight-long overlord lance passed, the enemy soldiers in the front row were splashed with a blood mist, which was quite bloody.
Zhang Yu didn't care about killing, his task was to gallop behind Lu Chang, blocking the flying cold arrows to protect Lu Chang from harm. In fact, Lu Chang is very afraid of death, he deliberately let the fast gunner Zhang Yu cover, plus Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army does not have many bows and arrows, his own safety is guaranteed. And the majestic sea behind is different, a pair of huge plate axes are simply killing gods, coupled with the image of the majestic sea, gray and fierce, well, very shocking!
This guy shouted while killing: "Hehe, take your head, come on, wahaha!" "A pair of big axes picked up and chopped melons and vegetables, and they flew away as soon as they encountered their heads, arms, and the weapons of the Jianghuai soldiers as soon as they touched them.
The fierce and evil god of the majestic sea made the Jianghuai army avoid it one after another, and they were frightened!
With such fierce generals as Lu Chang and Xiong Kuohai to open the way, the cavalry behind them was much easier, the Jianghuai army was continuously killed by Lu Chang and Xiong Kuohai, and then was swept by twenty cavalry in a line, and the Jianghuai army that could not hide was unlucky, and was harvested by the cavalry.
They are picking up cheap, but they never dare to stay or lag behind, just follow the galloping behind the majestic sea, and take advantage of the cheap and pull it if there is a cheap.
The soldiers in the front row of the Jianghuai Army retreated one after another, and the soldiers in the back were still rushing forward, colliding in the front and back directions, huddled into a pile.
This is exactly the result that Lu Chang wants, the pace of the Jianghuai army's pursuit must be stopped, so that the Sui Dynasty army can escape the fate of being hunted down.
Lu Chang had already explained that no one was allowed to enter the camp of the Jianghuai Army. You must know that the cavalry relies on speed, and the tens of thousands of pursuers of the Jianghuai Army, the speed of these 20 or so cavalry will continue to slow down, and it will be dangerous at that time.
Even the courage of Lu Chang and Xiong Kuohai did not dare to take this risk, let alone others. Therefore, Lu Chang's two dozen cavalry swept along the front line of the Jianghuai Army in a line, and the speed was extremely fast, and they had rushed to the end of the south in a blink of an eye.
Lu Chang at the front had already drawn a large arc to break away from the Jianghuai army, and the others behind him also gradually disengaged from him.
Lu Chang came to the central position, where he kept a distance of more than 100 paces from the Jianghuai army.
Looking back, the Jianghuai army was still in disarray, and the entire army had stopped pursuing. The leaders of the Jianghuai army rushed to the front, and the neighing of horses was very noisy.
Lu Chang breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally achieved his goal.
"Zifan, do we have any casualties here?" Lu Chang turned around and asked.
"Childe, we don't have any casualties here. This meal is easy to kill, but he didn't make much of a move, but Lao Xiong enjoyed it. β
"Hehe, my old male finally got this one. It's a pity that they are all small soldiers, and they haven't met a general, so it's still not fun. β
Zhang Yu pursed his lips and mocked: "Lao Xiong, you are the fourth in the world, how many people can make you happy?" β
"Hehe, that's what I said."
As he was talking, Lu Chang noticed that in the Jianghuai army camp opposite, a group of people gathered around a strong man and walked to the front row. Hehe, it seems that this is the legendary Duvowe.
