When Erhei and Hu Sandao's cavalry came to join them, the group rushed to Zhenjiang.
Erhei and Hu Sandao came to the masked man and whispered to Yang Rong about the situation there.
"There's trouble over there, Lao Yang."
"What?" After hearing this, the masked man struggled out of his sadness.
"Because the attack on the villa was overtime and the large troops had not yet withdrawn, Ji Gang led the army to return for reinforcements." Hu Sandao said in a low voice.
However, Erhei revealed it mercilessly: "Actually, we were not caught up in the first place because after we rushed into the villa and discovered Ji Gang's treasure house, those guys relapsed and became red-eyed!"
Seeing that he had become the representative of the 'jianghu people' in Erhei's eyes, Hu Sandao said with some embarrassment: "Fuck you, Lao Yang had already said it first, rushed into the villa, and all the gold and silver treasures belong to the children!"
"I want money rather than life." Erhei snorted and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the masked man.
"Stop saying a few words!" The masked man was obviously the leader of the two. Seeing that he was angry, Erhei and Erhei became silent. "What's the situation now?"
"Lao Yang led them to retreat eastward," Erhei sighed, "Ji Gang was chasing after him like a mad dog, and he couldn't reach Zhenjiang..." It was really shocking to win a good battle and become like this in a blink of an eye.
"All the gold and silver treasures have been lost..." Hu Sandao said dejectedly.
"Okay, we can't control them." The masked man whispered: "Go to Zhenjiang quickly."
"Yes!" Erhei and his two cheered up and responded...
In order to speed up, the group did not use the prison car. Instead, they tied Doctor Wu and Wynn to their horses and drove day and night. One day later, they arrived at the boundary of Zhenjiang.
"Ten miles ahead is Zhenjiang City." Erhei said to the depressed masked man.
The masked man nodded and said softly: "If there is no problem, we will enter the city quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, the scouts sent out rushed over and reported loudly: "Sir, Zhenjiang has been surrounded by troops, and a fierce battle is taking place outside the city."
Everyone was shocked. The team that was still resting suddenly became tense. The soldiers took off their armors from their horses and helped each other put them on. The scene was chaotic for a while.
Erhei asked in a deep voice: "Who is fighting whom?"
"On one side is the army of the Right Army Governor's Mansion, with a number of about 20,000!" Because it was a military exercise before, the uniform colors of different armies are different. The scout reported: "On the other side is the army of the King of Han, with a total of ten
Tens of thousands!"
After the scouts finished reporting, everyone looked at the masked man. The masked man said solemnly: "According to the plan, Xue Huan was to cut off the rear of the advance guard of the government army. It seems that he should have been entangled by the pursuers." He asked again:
"Where is the vanguard of the government army now?"
"We couldn't get too close to the battlefield, and we didn't find the shadow of the government's vanguard." The scout thought for a while and said, "But what's strange is that the Han army's troops did not get too close to General Xue and the others, but formed their formation towards the city gate.
!”
"Their target is the reinforcements in the city!" The masked man said solemnly: "Otherwise, with Xue Huan's strength, they might have been wiped out long ago."
"What should we do?" Everyone had no doubts about his analysis, but they were more concerned about how to do it!
The masked man asked the scout: "Have they found us?"
The scout shook his head and said, "It hasn't been discovered yet."
"Give me the specific location." The masked man commanded in a deep voice.
The scouts were all strictly trained. After hearing this, they immediately took out the cardboard and drew a series of symbols on it with a piece of charcoal. In the eyes of those who had undergone the same training, those symbols were enough to outline the situation on the battlefield!
The masked man pondered for a moment, then took the charcoal pen and drew a slanted arrow on the cardboard, pointing directly at the weak point behind the Han Dynasty's army formation, and said in a deep voice: "We launch a charge from here and catch the Han Dynasty army by surprise!
As long as they are in disarray, Xue Huan can take the opportunity to break out!"
"What about us?" Horse thieves like Hu Sandao instinctively reject such a lifeless charge. "What should we do if we get stuck in it?"
"No." The masked man said decisively: "We are cavalry. As long as we don't plunge into the crowd, we can break out of the siege!"
"Okay, let's do it!" Erhei said anxiously: "Xue Laoer probably can't hold it anymore, let's go quickly!"
"Then..." After all, he is a soldier now, not a bandit, so Hu Sandao can only obey his orders. He nodded helplessly, and his eyes fell on Doctor Wu and the old eunuch: "What should we do with them?"
"They are also together." The masked man said without thinking.
"Together?" Hu Sandao said with wide eyes, "What if they escape in the chaos?"
"No." The masked man said calmly, then pulled out his knife, slashed twice, and cut off the ropes on Doctor Wu and the old eunuch. He threw a weapon to each of them, and turned around with confidence.
Go and say to all his subordinates: "Follow me closely. If you are scattered, just rush to the city gate!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded together.
After the masked man finished speaking, he picked up an iron spear, clamped it into the horse's belly, and rushed out at the head of the horse.
The soldiers also took off their weapons and rushed out with a roar.
Hu Sandao was dumbfounded as he watched Doctor Wu and the old eunuch following the masked man closely, just like his bodyguards. He couldn't help stroking his bald head and exclaiming: "What a sinister family!"
Erhei obviously knew something, he chuckled and followed closely.
Hu Sandao had no choice but to ride his horse to follow...
On the top of Zhenjiang City, Prince Zhu Gaochi, Mo Wen and other generals were watching the fierce battle below the city with worry. Although they had done a lot of strategic deception before, the enemy's scouts were so overwhelming that they could not be deceived for long. So they were soon discovered.
, their destination is Zhenjiang!
Once he woke up, Song Hu immediately sent out all his cavalry to pursue him. Whether it was the vanguard of the government army or the army of the right army governor's government, the cavalry accounted for less than half, and most of them were two-legged infantry. Although they fought hard
Although he was ordered to march, he was overtaken by the Han army when he was thirty miles away from Zhenjiang.
Seeing that the army was about to be stopped, Xue Huan decisively ordered the army to turn to fight, blocking the way of the Han army. One of the two sides was an elite soldier under the command of Marquis Yangwu, and the other was a hussar brought out by the King of Han. They were both supported by the Ming Dynasty.
They are elites who usually refuse to obey anyone. Now they have become enemies of life and death. They will be killed in one fell swoop and blood will flow like rivers!
The soldiers in the vanguard of the government army also wanted to turn back to rescue, but Mo Wen refused - because he knew that the prince had arrived in Zhenjiang, and he had to bring the army into the city, build up city defenses, and welcome the coming overwhelming offensive!
Under Mo Wen's cold-blooded orders, the soldiers in the vanguard of the government army gritted their teeth and with red eyes, entered Zhenjiang City and took over the city defense. While mechanically preparing to defend the city, they watched the troops behind them being destroyed by more and more Han kings.
The army was surrounded, and there was no hope of breaking out...
With tears in their eyes, the soldiers watched the Han army suddenly slow down their attack, using bows, arrows, muskets, and tormenting Xue Huan's more than 20,000 soldiers like cats and mice. No matter how brave Xue Huan and the others were, they were not afraid of death.
There were feather arrows and muskets as dense as fried beans, but there was no way! He couldn't rush out, so he could only protect himself with his shield. Countless people were hit by the guns and arrows!
What's even more frightening is that the Han army also launched a fire attack. They threw the burning oil cans one by one into the prince's army with catapults. Where the oil cans were broken, many soldiers became burning people.
Howling and rolling on the ground...
"Old Mo, let me take people to rescue them!" Seeing the scene of Pao Ze being tortured and killed under the city, not to mention ordinary officers and soldiers, even Xu Huaiqing couldn't stand it anymore, so he volunteered and said: "Anyway, I am a cavalryman, guarding
The city can’t help!”
Mo Wen held his hand on the arrow stack, his face turned frighteningly blue, but he did not waver at all: "No! The King of Han's army is waiting for us to leave the city."
"Even if it's a trick, we still need to be saved! Otherwise, if we let them continue playing like this!" Xu Huaiqing said frantically: "The morale of the brothers will be completely destroyed!"
Mo Wen looked at the top of the city. As Xu Huaiqing said, most of the officers and soldiers were pale and looked distracted. They were obviously shocked by the massacre under the city... He knew that if the Han army was allowed to massacre Xue Huan's army, the city would be destroyed.
The morale of the troops at the head of the army has been completely weakened, and I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand a wave of siege!
"Old Mo, just give the order." Cheng Zheng couldn't help but said: "We will save as many as we can!"
Mo Wen was silent for a moment and shook his head decisively. "No."
"You're so cold-blooded!" Xu Huaiqing was anxiously circling around, speaking indiscriminately.
The prince watched all this quietly with a sad expression. He couldn't bear to look at those poor soldiers anymore. He cast his gaze further away - suddenly the prince frowned and saw smoke and dust rising in the distance! Immediately after the Han Dynasty's army formation,
A commotion broke out.
"General Mo," the prince suddenly became excited, and his fat face started to tremble. "Look!"
No need for the prince to tell, Mo Wen had already seen it. He stared at the more than a thousand cavalry who suddenly rushed to the rear of the Han army, and the Han army that was thrown into chaos due to this sudden situation, and pursed his lips tightly.
!
Xu Huaiqing and others also stared at the cavalry nervously. They saw that they were like sharp steel awls, piercing the joint of the Han army's formation and taking their Chinese army's flag!
If you want to win with a small number against a large number, you must either rely on natural danger, or you must capture the thief first!
There is no natural danger now, the only choice is to capture the king!
In the battle of Xiaoyaojin in the past, Zhang Liao defeated the 100,000 Dongwu army with 800 infantry, and almost captured Sun Quan in one fell swoop. This is the best example of this battle!
Now, Erhei and the others had more than a thousand elite cavalry, and they suddenly launched their attack behind the enemy! The Han army was sure of victory, and they were watching Pao Ze slaughtering the prince's army as if they were watching a monkey show, and everyone was laughing so hard!
The Han army in the rear formation was too far away from the battlefield and couldn't see the monkey show, so they simply sat on the ground, took off their helmets and were lazy... It was the time to relax!
When they noticed the enemy attack, the thousand cavalry had already rushed in front of them!
The King of Han's army stood up in a hurry, trying to form a formation to stop them, but there was no time. They saw more than a thousand horsemen rushing into the rear formation like a black line of horses! There was almost no resistance, and they rushed out again!
During the entire charging process, there was no fighting between the two sides. The Han army was caught off guard and could not fight. Naturally, Erhei and the others did not fight if they could! Only a few unlucky guys who were sleeping on the ground were trampled to death by the war horses.
…
Draw a beautiful arc and gallop along the joint of the Han army's formation!
