Chapter 402: Muddy Ball
Hong Meng was reprimanded by Gao Chong, and he didn't talk back very abnormally. Gao Chong originally stood still, wanting to take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the anger he had suffered before, however, Hong Meng didn't say a word, which made him lose interest.
While the two were talking, the thieves above chased down again, looking at the bright torches, listening to the noisy sound, Gao Chong's face changed: "Lao Hong, you go down first to inform Brother Zhang, we will be here for a while." ”
"Good!" This time, Hong Meng was very obedient and obediently went down the mountain.
Gao Chong raised one hand, the soldiers understood, snorted softly, and lined up in a very tacit understanding, Gao Chong had seen the spiked rolling wood on it before, so he asked the soldiers to get out of the way.
The soldiers held bows and arrows in their hands, guarded by the trees, in groups of three, the first person squatted, the second person half squatted, the third person stood straight, everything was ready, until the bandit approached, Gao Chong gave an order, and the three of them took turns to shoot the arrows in their hands, according to this posture, they did not have to worry about not cooperating with each other tacit enough to hurt their own people, and the efficiency was much higher.
When the bandits were chasing now, they saw Hong Meng walking straight away, thinking that the leader of the opposite party had run away, and relaxed a lot, although they received some resistance, but they were all spontaneous and unorganized by the soldiers before, so neither the killing efficiency nor the momentum could be compared now.
Now there is a noble command, and the arrows on the side of the officers and soldiers are fired at one time, and they are prepared for battle without preparation, and the bandits who rushed to the front row suddenly fell one by one.
With the sound of the arrows breaking the wind, the screams in the dark night sky came in bursts, Zhang Heng under the mountain heard the screams, his brows frowned tightly, and after Gao Chong and them went up the mountain, his heart was already hanging, at this time, the sound of a sudden birth in the night sky made him unable to distinguish the person over there.
The soldier who was thrown down from the mountain earlier made him a little preconceived, and subconsciously thought that it was Gao Chong who was in danger, although Gao Chong's official position was not as high as his, but Gao Chong was personally brought by Yue Shao'an, if something happened to him, Zhang Heng was not easy to explain to Yue Shao'an.
After a while, Zhang Heng listened to the screams one after another, and couldn't help but recruit the deputy general, and ordered a thousand soldiers and horses to go up the mountain to rescue, but at this moment, Hong Meng ran down in a hurry.
As soon as he came over, he saw that Zhang Heng was ready to attack the mountain, and hurriedly stopped him.
"Commander Zhang, you can't attack the mountain rashly." Hong Meng said: "We have checked, the avenue above is ready to roll logs, our cavalry go up, it is not good to please, if the cavalry is turned into infantry, then the combat effectiveness will drop suddenly......
Zhang Heng nodded and said, "I'll discuss this later, how are Gao Chong and them?" ”
"Gao Chong should be fine, he asked me to come down just now to deliver the news, and I have made preparations, and I should be able to retire soon." Although Hong Meng said this, his face was also full of worry.
Zhang Heng thought about it, still a little uneasy, gritted his teeth, and said to the deputy general: "You still go up to have a look, don't attack the mountain first, as long as you meet Gao Chong, they will retreat." ”
"Yes!" The lieutenant general took the order and left.
Hong Meng thought for a while and said, "In this way, Commander Zhang, I'd better go up and lie down again, I'm a little worried about Gao Chong." ”
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "Okay! ”
When Hong Meng heard Zhang Heng agree, he ignored the troops led by the deputy general and ran straight up.
Seeing a black shadow rushing up, Zhang Heng couldn't help but nodded, this person sent by the emperor is really useful, although Hong Meng has no command talent, but with this light skill, it also helps a lot, in this kind of terrain, and he delivers news much faster than others.
When Hong rushed up the mountain, Gao Chong was struggling to resist, although he had shot a lot of bandits before, but after the other party threw down some corpses, he understood, and one by one he slowed down and approached with his shield.
Gao Chong looked at the bandit who was gradually approaching, and the sweat on his forehead came down, this is not an ordinary bandit, he is so well-equipped, and he is relaxed, as soon as he finds something wrong, he immediately changes his tactics, which is not easy to deal with. If you don't get it, you're going to lose some people here today.
He just wanted to order a retreat, but suddenly, Hong Meng appeared beside him, Gao Chong was startled, turned his head to see that it was him, and couldn't help but scold: "Damn, you scared me to death, why did you come back again?" ”
"Don't say it, Commander Zhang has already sent someone to pick you up." Hong Meng said eagerly: "Retreat!" ”
"Good!" Gao Chong nodded and asked, "What about the people, where?" ”
"I'll go before they do!" Saying that, Hong Meng turned his head and found that the people led by the deputy general were still slowly moving up at the foot of the mountain, and he couldn't help but scold: "Damn, why are they so slow?" ”
Gao Chong glanced at him, and said in his heart, you think that all the people are running as fast as you, but he did not say this, but ordered the soldiers to retreat while shooting, and went down the mountain.
At the same time, the cavalry under the mountain was led by Zhang Heng's lieutenant general to quickly move towards the mountain, and the two teams of men and horses converged as the battle gradually retreated.
After the adjutant general saw Gao Chong, he stepped forward and said, "General Gao, you go down first, let us block you." ”
"Good!" Gao Chong agreed and said, "You have to be careful, these bandits are not ordinary bandits. ”
"We got it." As he spoke, the lieutenant general waved his sword: "Brothers, rush, let the bandits taste our strength." ”
The soldiers who were thrown down the mountain just now had already gathered their anger in their stomachs, and at this time, at this time, the cavalry urged their horses to meet the hillside, and they ran fast.
The bandits were originally defending against bows and arrows, and the front were shields and short knives, and the cavalry that suddenly appeared, killed a surprise, and the bandits were suddenly in a hurry, and the spears attacked and killed, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.
Seeing this, Gao Chong hurriedly asked the herald to pass the message and let the adjutant general come down, however, the herald ran up, and after a while he covered his face and ran back, with a bloody mark on his face, and he was whipped by a horse whip at a glance.
Gao Chong hurriedly inquired, only to learn that the lieutenant general did not listen to him, and the herald emphasized a few more words, and was beaten back.
After hearing this, Gao Chong's stomach was on fire, but he also knew that if the other party didn't listen to him, he couldn't do anything, so he could only spit angrily and said, "Let's go down the mountain first and let Brother Zhang deal with it." ”
"But......" Hong Meng said hurriedly: "Isn't it too late to wait for Commander Zhang to give the order?" ”
"And what can you do?" Gao Chong asked angrily.
Hong Meng was silent for a while.
"Down the mountain!" Gao Chong shouted and led the team down in a hurry.
The adjutant general led the cavalry all the way to slash and kill, and the bandits fled when they heard the wind, and the only road was full of bloodstains, and all the way up, where the cavalry passed, there were all the corpses of the bandits.
The deputy general has been carried away by the victory in front of him, and he is already fantasizing in his heart that he has won the mountain, and his first military exploits will definitely be appreciated by the emperor and promoted to become rich.
For Gao Chong, he looked down on him a little in his heart, because Gao Chong couldn't compare with him in terms of age or qualifications, and he didn't show any extraordinary strength, but he was such a person, but he was promoted quickly, and in just a short period of time, he faintly passed him, which made him already have a great disgust with Gao Chong.
If Gao Chong didn't send a herald, or he would have taken care of Zhang Heng's order, Gao Chong said it, but it made him competitive, and he had already forgotten what Zhang Heng had explained.
Especially now that he has won all the way, he has strengthened his determination to attack.
The lieutenant general led the cavalry all the way to the halfway point of the mountain, and did not encounter any strong resistance, which made his self-confidence swell to the extreme.
"Brothers, kill, now is the time for us to make a contribution, kill the bandits, and snatch the green mountains!"
With a loud shout, the cavalry raised their spears above their heads and shouted loudly.
"Kill, kill, kill......"
"Brothers, rush, ......"
"Rush ......"
At the foot of the mountain, after Gao Chong went back to explain the situation, Zhang Heng was in a hurry, and scolded the deputy general for being a muddy ball.
Hong Meng hurriedly said: "Commander Zhang, now is not the time to blame anyone, you better send someone up the mountain to give the order, otherwise you won't be in a hurry." ”
Zhang Henggang summoned the herald.
Hong Meng said: "Commander Zhang, let's go, I'm afraid the ordinary heralds won't be able to catch up." ”
"Good!" Zhang Hengdao: "Brother Hong Meng! ”
"Still." Hong Meng said with an embarrassed face: "Commander Zhang still gave me a warrant." Otherwise, I am afraid that he will not listen to me. ”
Gao Chong didn't say a word in the back, and it wasn't until Hong Meng left that he sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's ...... It's late......"
Zhang Heng clenched his fists: "I hope I can catch up!" Otherwise, I don't know how to explain to the marshal. This muddy ball ......" said as Zhang Heng punched the saddle.
The war horse was in pain, and raised his head and neighed. Zhang Heng pinched the reins and tightened his legs so as not to fall off the horse.
Gao Chong patted the back of Zhang Heng's hand and said, "Brother Zhang, it's useless to be anxious now, wait for Lao Hong's news!" ”
Zhang Heng looked up at the mountain, his eyes were a little dazed, a small mountain, it actually made people have such a headache, thinking that there were still 100,000 gold soldiers after that, I don't know if this expedition is a blessing or a curse, and whether I can go back.
The eastern sky was already faintly white, and only shouts of killing were heard on the mountain, but no news came.
Zhang Heng and Gao Chong were both eager in their hearts, but they didn't have the slightest way, at this moment, all they could do was wait......
