Chapter 1382 Follow me and kill the enemy!
"Commander-in-chief, the bandit cavalry is moving out." Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Mingyuan held up a telescope and reminded everyone of the changes on the battlefield in a timely manner.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng, the Earl of Yongning, also raised his telescope to observe, and sure enough, he saw a cavalry of about several hundred people galloping after the starving people.

"General, should we also send cavalry to fight?" Liu Chengzu seemed a little anxious.

Not only him, even Zhang Mingyuan, who had always been very calm, said anxiously: "General, Jin Tai's troops are not as strong as the enemy's. Now the enemy's cavalry is coming, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it!"

To put it bluntly, their main concern was not the outcome of this battle, but the comfort of Zhang Jintai who was fighting this time.

This is no wonder, since Zhang Jintai is the adopted son of Earl Yongning.
In the Yongyi Army, no matter whether they were generals or captains, everyone knew very well that Zhang Jintai and Zhang Chengfang, the best among the adopted sons of Earl Yongning, were the ones that Earl Yongning would focus on training.

Although they did not dare to give the green light openly, they still tried their best to take care of him within their capabilities. People like Chen Zheng, Zhang Guangda, Zhang Guodong, Wei Zhice even treated him like his own sons and nephews.

"No need."

Yongning Bo waved his hand to stop their request and said in a deep voice: "Although there are many bandits, most of them are unarmored. Even if there are cavalry to help, they are not the elite of the bandits.

This Governor believes that Zhang Jintai's 1,000 men can handle it completely!"

"Commander-in-Chief..."

The old aide Sun Shixiang also said at this time: "I think this is the first battle, the victory or defeat is extremely crucial, it is related to the morale of the whole army, it should not be underestimated!"

After hearing what Sun Shixiang said, Earl Yongning turned around and glanced at several people one by one before saying, "Don't move the cavalry. Send a message to Lin Fangping and ask him to send a thousand musketeers to help Zhang Jintai clean up the battlefield."

"Commander-in-chief, the bandits have more than 400 cavalrymen. If we only send musketeers... I'm afraid they will be unable to resist..." Zhang Mingyuan wanted to continue.

But he was ruthlessly interrupted by Earl Yongning: "Send the order immediately."

"Yes!" Zhang Mingyuan didn't dare to say anything more and immediately accepted the order.

In fact, the battlefield at this moment was just as Earl Yongning had expected.

The government troops had completely gained the upper hand and their morale was as high as a tiger. They were about to annihilate the enemy's infantry. Xing Jincang's 400 cavalrymen alone were simply unable to turn the tide.

It's nothing more than delaying some time!

All of this had been made clear in the order issued by the Earl of Yongning. The additional 1,000 musketeers were only there to assist Zhang Jintai in "cleaning up the battlefield."

…………

Zhang Jintai became more and more courageous as the battle went on. He didn't feel tired at all. His iron mace flew up and down, and countless thieves died at his hands.

At this moment, the bandits were about to be defeated, but he saw the cavalry behind him coming to help. He shouted loudly: "Form a battle formation, stabilize the formation, and the spearmen are ready to fight the bandit cavalry!"

He immediately set his eyes on He Jinlong among the bandits!
As the government troops were fighting and arranging their troops, Zhang Jintai shouted to the government troops around him: "Follow me and kill the bandits!"

Without waiting for everyone to react, he took the lead in waving his iron mace to clear the way and rushed straight to where He Jinlong was.

Fortunately, the Yongyi Army has always been well-trained. Even though these soldiers are not soldiers in Zhang Jintai's camp, they can still follow orders. Four sword and shield soldiers, two spearmen, and two soldiers holding hammers, eight people followed closely behind Zhang Jintai, not leaving his side. …………

A bandit soldier with a bloody face was holding a long axe and was killing several soldiers in succession. When he was killing vigorously, he suddenly saw a soldier with unusual armor rushing towards him.

He immediately guessed that this man must be a general in the government army, and shouted "Damn officers and soldiers, give me your life" and rushed forward.

Zhang Jintai had just knocked down a thief when he saw a long axe coming down on his head. He quickly moved to the right and avoided the attack of the deadly axe. Then he saw a red tasseled spear stabbing at him...

He had no time to dodge, so he could only tilt his head to the right again. At the same time, he raised his left hand, grasped the back of the gun, and dragged it towards him with all his strength, thus snatching it away.

At the same time, the iron mace in his right hand smashed heavily on the long axe that had just chopped at him. With a loud "clang", the deadly long axe fell to the ground.

In a split second, Zhang Jintai suddenly turned around and threw the red tassel spear he had just snatched out.

It hit the thief who had just swung the axe at him right in the chest.

The huge force of the projection caused the red tasseled spear to penetrate the thief's chest directly. The tip of the spear went straight into the ground for an inch. A stream of bright red blood flowed down the tip of the spear until it seeped into the ground...

The butt of the gun kept trembling, as if it was roaring, accusing the heavens of this ruthless slaughter on the battlefield.

Since they had already broken into the enemy's formation, the nine people on Zhang Jintai's side were under increasing pressure. The surrounding enemy soldiers kept rushing up and stabbing them with swords, spears and lances.

Fortunately, they were all protected by sophisticated armor, but accidents always happen on the battlefield.

A shield soldier was hit by the bandit's hammer. He spat out a large mouthful of bright red stuff, then staggered forward two steps, and was hit on the left shoulder by a long axe again...

Although he was not injured, he could no longer hold the iron shield in his left hand and it fell to the ground with a bang. The moment the shield hit the ground, his body also fell to the ground and he lost consciousness.

On the other side, after a spearman stabbed two bandits to death, he was entangled by the bandits who pounced on him. They both fell to the ground and rolled over. They fell behind the team and their lives or deaths were unknown.

…………

He Jinlong also saw Zhang Jintai's team of officers and soldiers, and naturally knew that their target was him. But as a brave general who had also fought his way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses, how could he be afraid of death?
He shouted loudly to the bandits around him, and led them to the direction where Zhang Jintai and his men were coming, and took the initiative to meet them.

"To catch a thief, first catch the leader." Zhang Jintai and He Jinlong had the same idea by coincidence!
As the home team, He Jinlong naturally had a smooth journey. When the bandits in front saw him rushing over, they all stepped aside to make way for him, and he soon rushed to the front of the formation.

He Jinlong roared, "Kill this bastard, reward him with wine and meat, and make him a leader!"

Stimulated by his bounty, the bandits, who had completely lost their minds, rushed over to surround Zhang Jintai and others, and even blocked He Jinlong on the periphery.

Just at this time, Xing Jincang also led the cavalry and galloped over. He joined the battle without saying a word.

Since he was risking disobeying orders by leading the cavalry to charge forward, Xing Jincang did not care much about the outcome on the battlefield. He had only one goal - to rescue He Jinlong and escape unscathed.

He was seen leading the way, charging straight towards He Jinlong's position...
