Chapter 245: In front of the East Type Pass
After Jiang Chao heard the report, his eyes flickered, and a sense of uneasiness swelled in his heart. This group of Da Zhao troops, coincidentally, came over at this time, and when they came, they didn't even talk to him.
Obviously, he didn't want him to know, and if he wanted to say that they didn't mean to make small moves, Jiang Chao wouldn't believe it.
Combined with the emperor's attitude towards him and the fact that this group of people came so coincidentally, Jiang Chao felt that the other party was afraid that he wanted to take the opportunity to destroy his army.
If it weren't for the scouts of the Zidi Army who discovered the situation, Jiang Chao would probably still be in the dark.
The corners of Jiang Chao's mouth slowly hung a strange color, and he sent a few letters to the disciples who came to report the news. He rearranged his tactics.
He wanted to see what these big Zhao Jun meant, if they really wanted to make a ghost behind their backs, then Jiang Chao would not be polite to them.
After arranging their strategic deployment from the east to the mountain, Jiang Chao looked at the Dongxing Pass not far ahead.
At this time, because of the appearance of the subordinate army led by him, in the Dongxing Pass, those Khitan troops had already discovered their existence.
Jiang Chao asked the artillery and Lei soldiers to find a hiding place to set up their positions, and he took his 2,000 troops to face the Dongxing Pass.
The remaining 3,000 soldiers, excluding artillery and mines, dived to both flanks.
On the other side, among the 5,000 people in the army, Dongli Mountain stationed his 5,000 people in a flat area in the middle. The new instructions that Jiang Chao brought back to him were.
Let him disguise the camp of 5,000 men as a camp of 20,000 men. The rest of the Nan Mingtu and the North Qiong Fang each lurked on both sides with 5,000 people.
Jiang Chao wanted Dongli Mountain to test the true intentions of the 120,000 Great Zhao Army. If, these big Zhao troops really want to plot against them. The 10,000 army of children lurking on both sides will make them regret it.
The east side of the mountain is arranged, and the 120,000 troops led by the four major Zhizhou are slowly approaching this side.
At the same time, the army of 2,000 children led by Jiang Chao had already arrived in front of the Dongxing Pass. The Khitan army in the eastern type of pass did not find the arrangement of Jiang Chao.
In the eastern type of pass, the Khitan general who led the army was named Xiao Ce. He is a rare fierce general among the Khitan tribe, although he is not very powerful in terms of soldiers.
But it was extremely easy to capture this east-type pass. However, Dongxingguan switched on and off by himself. Speaking of which, he didn't bother much.
"General Hu, do you know what kind of army these more than 2,000 soldiers are under the city? Ben has seen a lot of your big Zhao army, but he has never seen an army in such a costume! ”
Xiao Ce looked at the two thousand disciples under the city, as well as Jiang Chao among them, and there was a doubt in his eyes.
"By the way, you know the commander of the army!" At the same time, he pointed to the leading Jiang Chao.
The military uniforms of the children's army are of a unified standard, unlike the military uniforms of ancient times, which were designed by Jiang Chao himself and are similar to modern military uniforms.
This kind of military uniform in fancy costumes, in the eyes of others, feels a little different and amazing.
At the head of the city, the middle-aged general who was called General Hu was the previous general of the Dongxing Guan, who surrendered directly after the Khitan army came.
He looked at Jiang Chao and the rest of the army, and his eyes showed a sense of astonishment, but his eyes showed a sense of memory, and he quickly brightened up and said:
"Back to General Xiao, this should be Jiang Chao, who has been in the limelight recently, and the soldiers behind him are probably his children."
When Xiao Ce heard this, he looked at Jiang Chao in surprise, he didn't seem to have imagined that Jiang Chao, who had recently been rumored to be invincible and invincible, was such a young man.
As for the subordinate army, it surprised him even more, and the subordinate army in front of him, except for the strange uniform, there was nothing special about it.
There is not even armor, not even armor to protect oneself, and to fight, without the protection of armor, the casualties are not heavy ?!
He really couldn't figure out how the amazing combat power of the children who had been rumored before came about.
However, although there are only 2,000 people on Jiang Chao's side, there are shield soldiers and infantry. Even shield men are armed with swords.
If it is said that the archers want to inflict casualties on the 2,000 soldiers, it is estimated that they will not be able to do it. With shield soldiers, the power of the archers will be greatly reduced.
The only pity is that there is no cavalry on the side of the subordinate army, almost all of them are a combination of shield soldiers and infantry.
Moreover, the infantry, in addition to the combat knife, also had only spears. Other weapons are gone. Xiao Ce looked at the river tide below in astonishment, and couldn't react for a while.
He couldn't understand where the kid named Jiang Chao in front of him got the courage to bring an army of only 2,000 disciples to call for battle in front of the Dongxing Pass he occupied.
Just these people, do you want to take him away?! It's really overwhelming.
He couldn't figure it out, such a kid, he didn't even know the most basic strategy and tactics, what Zheng Shimin and Zheng An were for, and they didn't hesitate to let them help kill this person.
But no matter what Jiang Chao was, since Jiang Chao had sent it to the door, of course Xiao Ce was not polite, and he looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh.
"Haha...... Since this person has been passed on so well by you, I will go and meet him today......"
"Open the city gate, a thousand cavalry, follow the general out of the city and destroy them!"
With a heroic shout, Xiao Ce took his spear, turned around and went downstairs to the city tower.
Soon, a thousand cavalry were in place under the castle tower. Of the 8,000 soldiers and horses led by Xiao Ce on this trip, 3,000 were cavalry, and 5,000 for other types of troops.
Jiang Chao under the city is only 2,000 people, plus there are only two types of infantry and shields, he only needs to send a thousand cavalry, and he can wipe out the army of his children with a back-and-forth rush.
He is a Khitan cavalryman, but he is famous far and wide, and the Great Zhao Army once suffered a lot of losses under the Khitan cavalry.
Even the newly rising Jurchen clan was under their cavalry, and they shrank out of the mountains and forests. It can be seen that he is powerful in Khitan cavalry.
The moment the city gate opened, Xiao Ce led his cavalry to rush out of the city gate, and a thousand cavalry rushed in the direction where Jiang Chao was.
The remaining Khitan generals on the city wall looked at Jiang Chao and the other soldiers with disdain, and their eyes were full of ridicule.
They seemed to have seen Jiang Chao and a group of subordinate troops being slaughtered, and the 2,000 subordinate army estimated that they did not even need a cavalry rush back and forth.
A group of generals cheered for their main generals on the city wall, if Xiao Ce didn't have to attack by himself, these Khitan generals were afraid that they would rob him of this credit.
General Hu on the city wall shook his head, and looked at Jiang Chao and the two thousand disciples in front of the pass with a mocking face.
In his mind, the soldiers were afraid that they would also die. When the cavalry attacked, no one could save them.
