Chapter 847: Recovering Guizhou
Chen Jisheng led 10,000 cavalry to arrive in time, which gave great encouragement to Xu Fuzuo and the Dongjiang army, which had been trapped for many days.
The Dongjiang Army, with high morale, began a large-scale counteroffensive. The rebellious army of the vassal king collapsed in an instant, with countless casualties and defeats.
Chen Jisheng took the lead, and 5,000 subordinates led by him went straight to the heavy armor soldiers in the rear. As soon as he came, he saw the heavy armor soldiers of those vassal kings' chaotic army, and Cheng Guangzuo's two thousand light armor soldiers were no match for these heavy armor soldiers.
Now only the cavalry can borrow the speed of horsepower to fight these heavy armor. In order to avoid too many casualties from Chengguangzuo, Chen Jisheng did not dare to delay at all.
The arrival of 5,000 cavalry also caused panic among the heavy armor soldiers, and the originally strict formation soon showed flaws, and was caught by Chengguangzuo and attacked.
Chen Jisheng saw that there was a hole to exploit, he was not polite at all, and shouted that five thousand cavalry under his command suddenly plunged straight into the formation of heavy armor.
The overwhelming force of the collision could not even be resisted by the heavy armor soldiers, and all the heavy armor soldiers who were hit by the war horse head-on flew out upside down, and then smashed heavily on the heavy armor soldiers in the rear.
Originally, it was just a small gap, but now the entire heavy armor battle array has been completely chaotic, and in the face of the fierce charging cavalry, the heavy armor soldiers at this moment are no longer invincible.
"Hahaha...... Kill! Chen Jisheng shouted loudly, looking so unhappy.
It wasn't just Chen Jisheng who was happy, Cheng Guangzuo, who was already covered in blood at the moment, gasped for breath, and he also showed excitement on his face.
The 4,000 heavy armored soldiers were quickly dispersed under the charge of 5,000 cavalry, and were later killed one by one by Cheng Guangzuo and others.
Xu Fuzuo's side was also smooth sailing, with the cooperation of the other 5,000 cavalry, killing the enemy like cutting vegetables, and soon wiped out all the feudal kings' rebellious army.
The fighting continued until noon, and when it was completely subsided, the ground was littered with corpses and messes. The thick smell of blood filled the air, and the bright red blood almost flowed into a river.
Xu Fuzu sat paralyzed on the ground, surrounded by the corpses of the feudal king's rebellious army. Cheng Guangzuo also dragged his tired body and slowly walked to his side. And Chen Jisheng is the same!
"Brother Chen, thank you for arriving in time, otherwise we would be really in danger." When Xu Fuzuo saw Chen Jisheng coming, he smiled weakly.
Chen Jisheng didn't say much, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a relieved look. Xu Fuzuo nodded in understanding, but Cheng Guangzuo's face was full of depression.
Chen Jisheng glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "Why, you kid is still not convinced." Lao Tzu came with 20,000 soldiers and horses from Zhejiang to reinforce him, day and night, what kind of stinky face do you put on Lao Tzu now. ”
Chengguang Zuo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "Big brother, don't get me wrong, I'm in a bad mood because of my two thousand subordinates." After this battle, they were all wiped out, which was uncomfortable. ”
Hearing that this was the case, Chen Jisheng didn't want to talk about him anymore, and reached out again and patted him on the shoulder to show understanding.
At this time, Xu Fuzuo opened his mouth and asked Chen Jisheng again: "Big brother, I heard you say that there were 20,000 soldiers and horses just now, why did you only bring 10,000?" ”
Chen Jisheng smiled bitterly: "It's not that I encountered an ambush halfway, and I had no choice but to part ways with General Chen Qiyu." He will deal with the rebel army of the vassal king there, and I will make a direct detour to rush over to reinforce you. ”
Hearing that this was the case, Xu Fuzuo and Cheng Guangzuo were very warm in their hearts. After all, this is enough to prove that Chen Jisheng has these two brothers in his heart.
The three of them got to know each other, rested for a while, and regained some strength. After that, they began to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.
The battle report was quickly counted, and the casualties of the Dongjiang Army in this battle were not large, except for more than 4,000 people killed in the previous battle. In the end, less than 2,000 people were lost in this battle, but many were wounded, and almost the remaining thousands of Dongjiang soldiers were wounded.
On the same day, Chen Jisheng, Xu Fuzuo and Chengguangzuo, the three of them stayed in place to rest for one night. Starting tomorrow, we will clear out the rebel armies of the vassal kings in other places.
However, when Xu Fuxuan led the army to attack, he was surprised to find that those vassal kings who were originally very arrogant had all run away without a trace.
This discovery made Xu Fuzuo very angry, and the grievances he had suffered in the past half a month had not yet come out. But to find that you can't find a creditor, this feeling must be bad.
The vassal king ran out, and the whole of Guizhou was soon under the control of the Dongjiang Army, although Xu Fuzuo was very depressed, he finally lived up to Mao Wenlong's trust and took Guizhou.
The news was quickly sent to Mao Wenlong, and after reading it, he said to Hong Chengchou with relief: "Sir, Guizhou has finally calmed down. ”
Hong Chengchou laughed when he heard this: "General soldier, now there are only Jiangxi, Guangxi and Fujian left in the south. As long as these three places are taken again, the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as completely recovered. Or...... We simply took advantage of the victory to pursue, carrying the power of victory, and took these three places in one fell swoop. ”
Mao Wenlong was very moved when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "It's not proper, although Guizhou is already under our control, none of those vassal kings have been caught. These people are bound to be a problem in the future, and we can't easily rush in, first wait for Zhejiang, Huguang, and Guizhou to be completely stabilized, and then seek other things. ”
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou nodded again and again: "What the chief soldier said is very appropriate, we really can't be greedy for merit and rashly advance, so that the enemy can take advantage of it." ”
Mao Wenlong paused, then suddenly turned around and walked to the bookshelf behind the desk, and took down a brocade box on it. Carefully placed on the table, motioning for Hong Chengchou to lean over.
Hong Chengchou saw Mao Wenlong so cautious, and knew that the contents of the brocade box must be extraordinary. With curiosity on his face, he waited for Mao Wenlong to open it.
However, when Mao Wenlong opened the brocade box and took out the mysterious thing from it, Hong Chengchou was still so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and the whole person was directly stupid.
Mao Wenlong fiddled with the things in his hand, shook them slightly in front of Hong Chengchou, and said with a smile: "Can Mr. recognize this thing?" ”
Hong Chengchou was dumbfounded, and subconsciously nodded and said, "Daming Jade Seal......"
Mao Wenlong said appreciatively: "Exactly." ”
Hong Chengchou suddenly came over and said in disbelief: "How can the chief soldier have such a thing?" ”
Hong Chengchou clearly knew that this jade seal was only owned by Chongzhen. Suddenly, Hong Chengchou looked at Mao Wenlong in surprise, wondering if Mao Wenlong had found Chongzhen and snatched it from him.
Mao Wenlong didn't sell it, he was very happy to solve Hong Chengchou's confusion: "This thing was just specially sent by someone in the morning." ”
Hong Chengchou was even more surprised when he heard this: "This is Chongzhen......"
Mao Wenlong laughed and said, "Yes, he ordered someone to send it." ”
Hong Chengchou frowned and said suspiciously, "Why? ”
