Seeing everyone's high fighting spirit, Chen Cheng said loudly: "Okay, since we can still fight, then follow me and kill him for a while!"
After that, he stretched out his hand to pull the horse's head and rushed towards the gate of the enemy camp. There were at least a few thousand people in the camp. Taking into account the old and weak, there were at least one or two thousand people who could kill people with a knife, but this
More than 20 people followed him without hesitation, not caring at all about the large number of enemy soldiers. Even Zhao Si, although his face was covered in blood, wrapped himself up in a hurry and followed the team.
The war horse galloped outside the gate, jumped up suddenly, and stepped on the wooden door panel with two front hooves. The door panel immediately fell down and hit the ground with a loud noise. Within ten feet near the gate, the noisy sound immediately dissipated, and then
, someone shouted heartbreakingly, "The officers and soldiers are coming in!"
Hearing this shout, many people's faces turned pale, and their bodies became tense on the spot. When Chen Cheng rushed towards the cavalry along the road in the camp, everyone immediately shouted, threw down their weapons, and ran around. Chen Cheng saw him
This situation made me laugh out loud.
Although I don’t feel good about it, it’s really satisfying to be able to kill like this!
The fire kept igniting in the camp, and soon the camp was on fire. The jumping fire shone on his body, which was red from top to bottom. He picked up his spear and stabbed a fleeing Wuhuan to death.
A few rebel soldiers suddenly rushed out from behind the tent nearby and fired at him randomly. Chen Cheng did not stay where he was. He rushed to the end of the road and killed an enemy. Then he turned his horse and headed towards the rebels.
The soldiers rushed over.
In the light of the fire, a burly rebel general shouted angrily in Chinese: "Let's run a ball! There are only a few of them, so give them to me. They'll all be chopped up. I'm going to use the skulls of these thieves as drinking bowls!"
The general was tall and thick-set, with a big beard on his face, and he looked very powerful. He was originally a powerful Han man who rebelled with Zhang Ju. After Zhang Ju disappeared, he followed Zhang Chun. Because of the fighting ability of the Hu people
The morale and organization were very low, so he was asked to guard here with more than 200 troops.
He had been complaining that he was being overqualified. Even if officers and soldiers came, they would only come from the east road. How could they emerge from the mountains in the west? There were more than a dozen camps in the east, but it was his turn to go into battle.
Do you know that there are actually people coming from the west to kill you?
After the camp in front caught fire, he asked his troops to press the barbarians with knives and block them behind the gate and fence. When the officers and soldiers came over, they fired arrows together. He planned to stay until dawn, but it was pitch dark outside now. Who could
Do you know how many enemies were ambushed? However, I didn't expect that the enemies actually broke the door and came in.
He had previously sent more than half of his troops out to suppress the chaos in the camp, but now he only had less than half a hundred soldiers at hand. But the officers and soldiers had already come in, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet. He didn't know
Although many officers and soldiers came, they still knew that morale should be boosted and not depleted, so they roared loudly, "They are few, come on!"
Chen Cheng saw this man in the firelight and heard his roar. Knowing that he was a general of the enemy army, he turned his horse and rushed back. By the time he killed the running enemies in the middle, the general had already called out.
He killed his soldiers, and more than a dozen rebel soldiers blocked the road shoulder to shoulder with long rifles.
The glistening spear head was so sharp that it made people's balls hurt just to look at it. Chen Cheng reined in his horse at a distance of twenty or thirty steps, turned the mount sideways, then put on his bow and arrow, and fired a series of rapid fire at the front.
In two or three breaths, more than a dozen arrows were shot out in succession, knocking down the rebel soldiers.
The rebel general was furious, cursing and bowing before shooting. The arrow came roaring, Chen Cheng reached out to catch the arrow, and then reflected it back. When he reached out to catch the arrow, the feathers at the tail had been destroyed.
When it was reflected back, it spread too much and did not hit the enemy general. Instead, it shot down an infantryman nearby.
However, his heroic action of catching the arrow and reflecting it hit the rebels' already low morale to the point of collapse.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the rebel general dropped his bow and arrow, drew out his Han sword, and roared: "Follow me!"
Bows and arrows are good for long-distance attacks, but not good for close combat. If the enemy is so good at shooting, if he doesn't rush forward, are he waiting to be shot to death? As for the option of escaping, he has never thought about it. There are large tents everywhere in the camp, and rebel soldiers are everywhere
Under the leadership of the general, using the cover of debris, they launched a charge forward.
This is a very courageous and responsible behavior. There are many generals in the past dynasties who always boasted, but abandoned the army and fled at critical moments. Even Taizong of several dynasties did something like fleeing in a donkey cart.
No matter when, you can lead the soldiers to decisively attack, you are a qualified middle and lower-level officer.
Chen Cheng had no intention of entangled with the enemy. When he saw that the enemy had given way, he launched a charge again. Along the way, he kept overturning the brazier and throwing torches on the tent, making the camp even more tense.
Chaos. He led his men back and forth to kill several times, and licked more than a dozen dead souls with his gun.
However, the rebel generals sitting here led the troops well, and the chaos in the camp gradually came under control. Officers at all levels gathered hundreds of people, with spearmen and sword and shield soldiers in the front, and crossbowmen in the middle. Chen Cheng
They were blocked in the camp. Except for Chen Cheng, who had excellent riding skills, the others rode on one-sided saddles and could not take much advantage against the organized infantry.
Not long after the battle, several cavalrymen were shot by crossbows and fell off their horses.
"How dare such a small number of people attack the camp?" The rebel general looked at the dozens of cavalry on the opposite side, laughed angrily, and shouted loudly: "The crossbowmen are ready!"
Just as the rebels were preparing to launch their final attack, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the camp. The rear team led by Tian Yu finally rushed over after completely defeating the previous camp. Two to three hundred cavalrymen came from
A swarm of people rushed in through the open gate and launched an assault from the rear of the rebels.
The few hundred rebels who had finally gathered together collapsed immediately after being charged by the cavalry. Seeing that the enemy army had lost its organizational structure, Chen Cheng led the cavalry and launched another charge. In the chaos, he stabbed the rebel general with a shot.
He immediately fell into the chaos.
"The general is dead!"
When a dozen rebel soldiers saw their general being beheaded, they shouted and dispersed. The chaos in the camp was out of control, and everyone was running away. Even the enemies were much fewer than they were.
, but no one dared to stop and fight back. The so-called "defeat like a mountain" is such a situation. Without the organization of officers at all levels, no matter how large the number is, it is just a mob.
The fire was blazing, and the corpses of people and livestock were scattered everywhere on the ground. From time to time, screams came from all directions. Tian Yu asked his soldiers to blow the horns and gather the cavalry. He rode his horse and rushed to Chen Cheng, who looked like a bloody gourd.
Looking at the bright light on the horizon, he sighed: "It's dawn."
Chen Cheng also said: "Yes, it's dawn."
After daybreak, the enemy will be able to identify the situation and calmly dispatch the army. On the other side of the river, desolate horns sound one after another, and a large number of infantry and cavalry come out from the rebel camp besieging the city. The opportunity is fleeting, since it has already
Once lost, it is difficult to get it back.
They only have a few hundred cavalry. No matter how hard they fight, how can they overturn tens of thousands of enemy troops?
Tian Yu said bitterly: "If we could have more troops, why would we do this?"
"Well, just do as much business as you have the capital." Chen Cheng comforted him and said, "We have won for a while today, so just stop when you feel good. We still have to fight in the future."
He looked at the distance that was starting to turn white and said: "Colonel, please take the people back to the camp. I'll go back as soon as I can!"
Tian Yu looked at the enemy troops on the other side of the river, hesitated for a moment, and said, "We set off two large fires. The city must have seen them, or why don't we go ahead?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "Although the city knows that reinforcements are coming, they don't know how many. If General Zhonglang attacks rashly based on the arrival of reinforcements, it will ruin the matter! I'd better go into the city and talk to General Zhonglang.
It’s best to explain the situation clearly.”
Tian Yu thought of Gongsun Zan's strong personality and had to admit that what Chen Cheng said was very likely to happen. He was not a mother-in-law, so he made a decision instantly and said: "Then be careful. If you can't rush in,
Come back first."
Chen Cheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Although the enemy troops are numerous, in my eyes they are nothing more than chickens and dogs!"
Tian Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news in the camp!"
After that, he led the cavalry, captured some nearby cattle and sheep, and drove back in a big way. At this time, the west bank of the river was in chaos. Soldiers and herdsmen were running all over the mountains and fields, and no one came to care about them. As for those on the east bank,
The enemy, fearing a surprise attack by the officers and soldiers in the city, was preparing for the attack and had not thought of sending a large-scale army to the east coast.
The group of people gradually walked away, but Zhao Si, who had a wounded face, grabbed someone and put him on the horse, brought him over, and said: "Finally I caught this guy!"
Chen Cheng looked at the man. He was wearing iron armor, but there was a big hole in his chest. If he wasn't the rebel general, who could he be? He was deeply impressed by this man. He was a capable man who could organize soldiers to fight back in chaos.
Although he was capable, it was a pity that he had bad luck and followed Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, so that he fell into the company of barbarians.
Seeing that the rebel general was venting a lot of energy and taking in little energy, Chen Cheng asked Zhao Sidao: "Why did you capture him? Wouldn't it be better to capture two more sheep and go back?"
Zhao Si said proudly: "What kind of skill is catching sheep? Only when you catch the enemy's general can you be called a hero!"
The man on the horse was already furious, but at this moment he snorted and said with a sneer: "A certain family is just a captain, what kind of general is it? To tell you the truth, the injury on your face is from my shooting
Yes! It’s just a pity that I didn’t shoot you to death!”
When Zhao Si heard this, he was furious and drew his sword to kill the enemy general. The rebel captain closed his eyes and waited for death. When Zhao Si saw this, he couldn't move his hand. He held the ring-headed sword and said to Chen Cheng: "This man
He was a good man, it would be a pity to die like this."
Chen Cheng also felt sorry for his skills and said: "You are a Han, why do you want to rebel? Don't you know that rebellion is a capital crime?"
"Hmph, if you rebel you will be killed, if you don't rebel you will starve to death," the captain laughed miserably: "I would rather be killed than have my parents and brothers starve to death!"
"Are your parents and brothers in the rebels?"
The captain closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Chen Cheng added: "If you are willing to surrender to me, and after the rebels are defeated, I will try to save your family's lives, how about that?"
The captain suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Seriously?"
Chen Cheng said: "I hate lying the most in my life. As long as they are still alive at that time, I will save them even if I risk my life. If you violate this, I will die by the sword!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought: He seems to have died many times with swords, and he will probably continue to die. In that case... Of course, if he is not fat, he will not break his promise to gain weight.
.
The rebel captain didn't know what Chen Cheng was thinking. When he saw him making the oath, the resentment in his chest was relieved. He suddenly became exhausted and said feebly: "If so..."
Before he finished speaking, he tilted his head and passed out. Zhao Si was stunned for a moment and said, "Is he dead now?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught the message "A rebel officer has joined your team" in the lower left corner. Chen Cheng shook his head and said: "He's not dead, he's fainted. Take him back to the camp to keep him alive, maybe in the future."
it works."
Zhao Si nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand. Aren't you going back with us?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "You go first, I'll be back later."
When the dogs in the distance began to bark wildly and a fire broke out in the camp by the river, the soldiers on guard at the top of the city immediately noticed the situation and immediately reported the situation. Waiting for Gongsun Zan to crawl out of bed
After getting up and rushing to the city, all the generals also arrived. Outside the city, one of the bandit's camps had begun to burn, and there were also fires in another camp.
Looking at the fire in the distance, Gongsun Zan's eyes showed joy. He turned his head and asked the generals: "Do you think the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived?"
Gongsun Yue was Gongsun Zan's younger brother. He was not as tall and powerful as his brother. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Reinforcements must have arrived! Otherwise, could it be that the thieves burned down their camp?"
After that, he burst into laughter. However, the others did not laugh. General Yan Gang whispered: "The enemy camp on fire is in the west. If the imperial court sends an army, it should take the east road. How can it come from the west?"
Coming?"
The joy in Gongsun Zan's eyes faded. He did not answer Yan Gang's question. Instead, he asked a man dressed as a scribe beside him in a deep voice, "Shiqi, what do you think?"
The person who was called Shiqi was a middle-aged man. His surname was Guan and his last name was Jing. He was loyal and resourceful, and was trusted by Gongsun Zan. Guan Jing twirled the beard on his chin and said: "My lord,
What General Yan said is not unreasonable, but the soldiers can also be prepared early. If the imperial army comes, we will fight out at dawn, cooperate inside and outside, and annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop. If not, it will not harm our army.
"
Gongsun Zan looked around at the generals and said: "Just do what the soldiers say. Each army will prepare first and lead the soldiers to stand by at the city gate!"
