Chapter 21: Intercepting the Reims
Montestan led more than 6,000 cavalry all the way, fighting and walking, and Jiang Cheng behind followed him like a vicious dog, if it weren't for the strength of the thousand cavalry battalion around Jiang Cheng. Montesdan wanted to kill Jiangcheng even with losses, and he didn't pay attention to the 6,000 cavalry in Jiangcheng at all.
At this time, he had been wreaking havoc in Lianyun's control for seven or eight days, and at the beginning, he could still beat Lianyun people by surprise. Later, Jiang Cheng took 6,000 cavalry and a thousand cavalry battalions, a total of more than 7,000 people, and fought with him in more than a dozen battles, large and small, and no one on either side stood on the cheap, and each lost about 1,000 people.
However, this is the territory of Lianyun Kingdom, Montesdan has many concerns, and he does not dare to fight with Jiangcheng at all, if it is a decisive battle between the two sides, he can't even kill the thousand cavalry battalion. Because Jiang Cheng has been staring at him all the time, his destructive power has been sharply reduced, and he sees that there is a shortage of food and grass, if he doesn't get rid of Jiang Cheng, what awaits them is destruction.
"General, the Lianyun cavalry behind has caught up again, and it is less than ten miles away from us." A scout flew in to report.
After casually estimating, it was not the time to fight with Jiang Cheng now, Montesdan's burly figure turned around and looked behind him, only to see a dusty figure in the distance. He knew that it was Jiangcheng's six thousand cavalry, gritted his teeth, and ordered, "Keep moving forward and get rid of the cavalry of the Lianyun people." ”
"Commander Jiang, it's not okay for us to follow the Lance people like this all the time." Gu Huai looked at Jiang Cheng beside him and said, he is the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, since he was used by Xu Bangxing for Jiang Cheng, in a few days, the Thousand Cavalry Battalion has reduced more than two hundred people. He was very distressed, as the most elite cavalry in Xu Bangxing's hands, when did the Thousand Cavalry Battalion have suffered such heavy casualties.
"Commander Gu, what do you mean?" Jiang Cheng looked at the tall Gu Huai beside him and asked.
"Commander Jiang might as well divide our troops into two routes, I will lead people to advance the road and block the Reims people, and you will continue to drive them with people." Gu Huai said what he thought in his heart.
"No, we can't divide the troops, these Lance people are above us, once the troops are divided, it will give them a chance to break through, that is the way to die." Jiang Cheng shook his head.
Gu Huai sighed, he knew that Jiang Cheng was very stubborn, and it was difficult to get Jiang Cheng to agree to his plan. But it is not a way to follow the Lance people all the time, so that the initiative on the battlefield seems to be in their own hands, but in fact it is in the hands of the Lance cavalry, and they can only passively follow, wanting to fight a decisive battle but not winning.
And the Reims people can turn back and fight with themselves at any time, once the battle situation is unfavorable, these cunning Reims people immediately slip away, both sides are cavalry, but Reims's war horses are better than Lianyun's war horses, so the battle situation is often unfavorable to them.
"Your Excellency, the Reims are heading towards General Cangyun's defense area." A scout flew to Jiang Cheng's side to report.
As soon as Jiang Cheng heard the news, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Commander Gu." Our chance has come, and this time Montesdan will not die. ”
Gu Huai's black face squeezed together excitedly, and laughed, "Haha." Montestan actually let Cangyun slip to Cangyun's territory, Cangyun didn't fight him, even if he was lucky, since he wanted to die, then we had to give him a ride. ”
Jiang Cheng looked at Gu Huai and said with a smile, "Commander Gu, don't worry now, since there are ruthless people to help us stop the Lance people, we have to work harder, don't let him run away, there are not many cavalry in General Cangyun's hands." ”
Gu Huai laughed and said, "Don't worry, Commander Jiang, urge the team and let them hurry up and keep up with the Lance people." ”
Jiang Cheng laughed at the same time and said. "That's right, let's wait to repay the general." After speaking, Jiang Cheng whipped the war horse under him and galloped away.
"Lord Captain, there is a brigade of Reims cavalry from the north, the number is as many as six or seven thousand, they are followed by our cavalry, and there are a thousand cavalry battalions in the banner." A scout horse galloped in front of Liang Jun and dismounted to report for duty.
"Hurry up and report to General Cangyun." Liang Jun immediately gave an order to this probe horse.
"Yes, sir." The probe horse responded.
"Wang Lang. A large battalion of Reims cavalry has been driven to our side by the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, and we must do it. Liang Jun rode his horse and galloped to Wang Lang's side and said.
"Lord Captain, without Lord Cangyun's order, it's not good for us to send troops without permission." Wang Lang said.
"It doesn't matter. I have already sent someone to report to the general, and this opportunity must not be lost, and if this group of Reims cavalry escapes, the loss will be great. Liang Jun said.
"Then the captain has decided, and I will listen to your orders." Wang Lang said, "How many enemies are there? Clear? ”
"There are more than 6,000 cavalry in Reims, and they have been driven to our camp by the Thousand Cavalry Battalion and brother troops, and according to wartime regulations, we have the right to decide whether to fight or not in such an emergency." Liang Jun.
"Then gather the brothers. Blind training alone is far less fast than the actual combat improvement. What I'm worried about is that the general has just finished replenishing our Black Wing Battalion, and this time there will be damage again. Wang Lang said.
"Wang Lang, losses are inevitable, but after the last battle, the brothers' morale has become higher, and they are only looking forward to another big battle and the majesty of the Black Wing Battalion." Liang Jun.
'Receive a mission, intercept the Reims cavalry, reward 13,000 experience and 1,200 gold. ’
At this time, the Black Wing Battalion was conducting cavalry exercises, and the warriors were all on horseback, and they assembled quickly, and in a few moments, rows of cavalry were already lined up neatly. At this moment, two heralds came quickly and rushed to Liang Jun's side, "Lord Captain, General Cangyun has an order, let the Black Wing Battalion be sure to stop Montesdan and not let anyone slip through the net." ”
Wang Lang sighed a little, this General Cangyun's movements were really fast, the team had just assembled, and the military order had arrived. He didn't know that Cangyun had been paying attention to Montesdan for a long time, and had been asking Xu Bangxing for battle, but Xu Bangxing did not reply to him. This time, Montestan slipped in front of him, and Cangyun was overjoyed.
"Let's go." With a wave of his hand, the Black Wing Battalion slowly came out, and after a while, the iron hooves shook the earth, and a pair of cavalry on the grass were galloping against the ground, and the rapid war horses seemed to be flying on the ground. Wang Lang sat on the back of the horse at this time, as if he was integrated with the war horse, at this time his riding skills had reached the eighth level, and there were only a few people in the entire Black Wing Battalion whose riding skills were better than him, and most of the cavalry's riding skills were thrown behind by him.
At the same time, Cangyun had already assembled the infantry, and the encirclement had been set up, just waiting for Montesdan to rush in. Killing Montesdan is definitely better than killing Caron and Sovarsi, even the generals of the Yunbian Army want to achieve this glory, but today they are going to be taken away by him, a veteran, this sense of accomplishment can make him fluttering.
