"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 76
The noon sun was bright and dazzling, and the official road outside the north gate of the capital of Qinghe Province was full of people.
50,000 to 60,000 jubilant residents crowded on both sides of the city gate and the official road, gazing expectantly to the north.
Marshal Zhang Dayuan was also surrounded by a group of generals in bright armor, standing at the gate of the city in person, waiting patiently.
"Stay back, don't squeeze forward!"
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army who were in charge of maintaining order kept yelling at the residents on both sides of the official road and drove them away.
However, these excited residents still stood on tiptoe and crowded on both sides of the official road, waiting for the return of the victorious troops.
The 100,000 Dynasty army came aggressively to conquer their Qinghe army, and the two Qinghe armies were defeated again in Qingyang Mansion, and the generals died in battle.
When the news came back, the entire Qinghe army was in a state of panic, as if trees had fallen and monkeys were scattered.
Chen Ziang invited Ying to fight, not only beheading nearly two thousand Qing cavalry of the dynasty's black cavalry, but also luring the enemy into an ambush, annihilating the vanguard of the dynasty's army.
The victory report from the front line came back, and the haze over the Qinghe army was swept away. Everyone was excited and excited, and the anxiety in their hearts was dispelled a lot.
Now most of the troops participating in the war have entered the Qingyang Prefecture area with Deputy Commander Chen Ru, preparing to fight against the army of the dynasty.
Chen Ziang and the others fought with the Black Cavalry Army because they performed the task of luring the enemy, and suffered heavy casualties. Therefore, Chen Ru transferred them back to rest, which can be regarded as taking care of them.
Chen Zi'ang's army is now the only victorious army returning to the provincial capital to rest.
Xu Fu, the deputy commander who stayed in the provincial capital, suggested that a grand welcome ceremony should be held for Chen Ziang and his meritorious troops, so as to inspire the hearts of the army and the people, and clear away the haze of the dynasty's army.
Marshal Zhang Dayuan also felt that it was necessary to carry out vigorous publicity to refute the rumors that the Qinghe Army was about to be defeated.
So when Chen Ziang and the others were about to arrive at the provincial capital, Marshal Zhang Dayuan personally led all the generals and officials who stayed behind, together with 50,000 to 60,000 residents in the city, and held such a grand welcome ceremony.
The organizer of this welcoming ceremony was Deputy Marshal Xu Fu, but he played a tricky game and didn't notify Chen Ziang and the others in advance.
Thousands of generals Lin Yu led more than 20 light cavalry at the forefront of the team, and they were responsible for the investigation of the enemy's situation along the way.
Although the closer the provincial capital is, the safer it will be, but Chen Ziang also knows that it is still possible for a small group of enemies to infiltrate the dynasty's army, so he dare not be careless.
However, when Lin Yu led more than 20 Qingqi to approach the provincial capital, he could see from a distance that there were tens of thousands of people crowded on the official road near the city gate. While he was confused, he hurriedly turned back to Chen Ziang report.
"My lord, something is wrong. There are many people near the city gate. I even saw the commander's flag."
Lin Yu and others rode back to their marching ranks and explained the situation to Chen Ziang.
"My lord, it should be the commander-in-chief who saw that we won a great victory and held a welcome ceremony for us." Lieutenant General Zhang Bao said excitedly.
Chen Ziang was riding on a black war horse, and his face was also full of confusion, because they hadn't been notified that a welcoming ceremony would be held for them.
"Are you sure the commander is waiting at the gate of the city?" Chen Ziang confirmed to Lin Yu again.
Lin Yu nodded: "I still recognize the handsome flag of the handsome."
"Maybe the commander wants to give us a surprise." Zhang Bao guessed with a smile.
After Chen Ziang thought about it for a while, he figured it out. They are the troops returning in triumph. The commander-in-chief organizes such a welcome ceremony and publicizes it greatly, which can greatly boost the morale of the army.
"Pass in my military order, everyone line up in four columns! Get up, the commander and tens of thousands of people are waiting for us!" Chen Ziang ordered loudly.
"No!"
Soon, under the yelling of the officers, the soldiers who marched more loosely quickly regrouped and became energetic, and the black wolf flag was also fluttering high.
Marshal Zhang Dayuan and tens of thousands of people looked forward to it. When they saw Qingqi appearing in their field of vision, they knew that Chen Ziang's brigade was not far away.
Sure enough, soon a black flag with a hungry wolf embroidered on it first emerged from the horizon.
"I'm coming!"
Seeing that black side fluttering in the windThe flag, someone shouted loudly, all of them looked towards the north in unison.
Behind this black wolf flag, a row of bright stabbing guns appeared in people's field of vision.
Behind the bayonet soldiers are the sword and shield soldiers, and behind them are the cavalry who ride slowly on horseback.
These cavalry were all half-baked cavalry trained by Chen Ziang as he walked along the way. They could only ride horses, and they were not capable of fighting immediately.
It's just that they are now holding lances one by one, sitting on the horse and walking slowly, which can be regarded as a facade.
Seeing such a neatly paced and murderous victorious army marching forward, the residents crowded on both sides of the official road waved their arms one after another, looking extraordinarily excited.
Marshal Zhang Dayuan also had a smile on his face. Although Chen Ziang and his army uniforms were torn and bloodied, they added a bit of murderous air.
This is the army under his command. Seeing Chen Ziang's strength, he was also very happy.
Although the deputy commander, Xu Fu, also had a smile on his face, staring at Chen Zi'ang and the others coming in a mighty distance, the corner of his mouth evoked an imperceptible sneer.
Soon, Chen Ziang and the others arrived at the north gate with sonorous and forceful steps, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
Facing the welcoming soldiers and civilians, every soldier of the 9th Battalion puffed up their chests, with pride and pride on their faces.
"General Chen, you played Chen really well!"
"You are an army of heroes!"
In the sound of praise, the officers and soldiers of the 9th Battalion felt an unprecedented honor.
Seeing the soldiers of the 9th Battalion with resolute faces despite their tattered and blood-stained uniforms, and the girls and daughters-in-law crowded in the crowd, their eyes shined brightly.
After all, beauties love heroes, and Chen Ziang and the others won a big victory, so they naturally became objects of admiration.
Seeing Chen Ziang's tall and straight body coming on horseback, and the troops behind him also all mighty and majestic, Marshal Zhang Dayuan also nodded with satisfaction, as expected of a troop that could defeat the elite black cavalry army of the dynasty.
"Congratulations, Brother Chen!"
"Congratulations, General Chen."
Seeing Chen Ziang coming over, the generals and officials standing on both sides of the official road also smiled and congratulated, and Chen Ziang also clasped their fists in return.
Seeing Chen Ziang being surrounded and congratulated like a hero, the marshal Zhang Dayuan standing at the north gate also felt sore. Although he is a marshal, he has never enjoyed such an honor.
However, when I thought about it again, Chen Ziang and the others won the bloody battle with the Chao Dynasty Army, and it was normal to be congratulated.
"The last general greets the commander-in-chief, and the deputy commander-in-chief!"
Chen Zi'ang soon arrived in front of the Marshal Zhang Dayuan and the others, standing upright with his fists crossed and his chest crossed in a military salute.
"General Chen, that's amazing. With a mere four thousand infantry, beheading two thousand Qingqi cavalry of the Qing Dynasty has demonstrated the might of our Qinghe army. I will personally hold a banquet for you to celebrate!"
"General Chen is worthy of being the number one general of our Qinghe Army. He must win every battle, hahaha" Deputy Marshal Xu Fu also congratulated with a half-smile.
Chen Ziang naturally heard the provocation in Xu Fu's words, and immediately refuted it back.
"What kind of general am I? I just want to beg for food under the command of the commander-in-chief."
"Hahaha."
After hearing this, Marshal Zhang Dayuan couldn't help laughing.
After Chen Ziang exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Dayuan and others near the gate of the city, he prepared to enter the city. Zhang Dayuan had already prepared a celebration banquet for them.
"Long live the Qinghe Army!"
"The 9th Battalion Wansheng!"
Chen Ziang, as a victorious general, entered the city side by side with Zhang Dayuan, receiving cheers from the soldiers and civilians on both sides.
"Long live the handsome!"
"Long live General Chen!"
Perhaps the soldiers and civilians on both sides were too excited, shouting and shouting, and someone in the crowd shouted Long live Chen Ziang, which immediately made Chen Ziang's back break out in a cold sweat.
Marshal Zhang Dayuan's ears were not deaf, and his face sank after hearing the shout.
Chen Ziang hurriedly raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the commander! Long live the Qinghe Army!"
Although soon people's shouts became Long Live the Commander, Long Live the Qinghe Army, but the Commander Zhang Dayuan was not as happy as before. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
