    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 116

    Chen Zi'ang and the others took the power of a great victory, even conquered the three counties, and they were invincible along the way, with their soldiers pointing directly at the provincial capital.

    The black cavalry defenders in the provincial capital were weak, and they panicked in the face of the menacing Qinghe army.

    The main force of the imperial army is besieging Chen Ru's troops in Qingyang Mansion at the moment, so the troops left behind to mop up and pursue the remnants of the Qinghe Army are only more than ten thousand Qingqi.

    However, most of the ten thousand black cavalry Qingqi had been beheaded by Chen Ziang and the others, and the thousand or so people who fled back also became frightened birds.

    No one expected that the Qinghe army, which had become a bereaved dog, would make a comeback in a short period of time, and its combat effectiveness was so strong.

    Chen Zi'ang and the others attacked cities and villages all the way, and the towns along the way fell into their hands one after another.

    In a series of small-scale battles, their improvised troops became more and more courageous, and their combat effectiveness continued to rise.

    When Chen Ziang and the others arrived at the provincial capital, there were less than 2,000 black cavalry guards here, and they were so frightened that they closed the doors tightly, and hurriedly sent a messenger to ask for help.

    "Taking the provincial capital within half a day, the first winner will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"

    Chen Zi'ang and his army are now fighting with high spirits. Facing the provincial capital with weak defenders, he is bound to win.

    In fact, he could lead his troops to bypass the provincial capital and go directly to Qingyang Mansion to rescue Chen Ru's troops.

    However, Chen Ziang insisted on capturing the provincial capital, because he wanted to build momentum and at the same time relieve his worries.

    Once he goes to Qingyang Mansion, if the defenders here cut off his retreat, they will be in danger of being flanked, so the provincial capital must be taken down.

    The screaming soldiers of the Qinghe Army immediately launched a fierce attack on the provincial capital.

    In just ten months, the provincial capital suffered repeated battles, and many city walls were dilapidated, and they hadn't even had time to repair them.

    Now the defenders are less than 2,000. In the face of Chen Zi'ang's fierce attack, the defenders with insufficient strength can't defend at all.

    The newly promoted general of the infantry battalion, Zhou Ba, also lived up to everyone's expectations. He took the lead and went into battle in person, attracting all the soldiers under his command to fight for the lead.

    Zhang Bao, the deputy battalion general who had been reduced to an ordinary soldier, rushed up desperately in order to make another contribution.

    The siege lasted less than two hours, and a group of Qinghe troops took the lead in climbing the city wall and strangling the defending black cavalry army.

    Facing the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who kept rushing up the city wall, the Black Cavalry Army did not retreat.

    However, many people killed the elephants, and the defense lines of the city walls were torn apart. More and more Qinghe troops gained a firm foothold on the city walls, and the Black Cavalry Army was powerless to recover.

    "I can't keep it!"

    "The west of the city has fallen!"

    "Run!"

    With more and more Qinghe troops around and fewer and fewer companions, the Black Cavalry Army was quickly killed and retreated steadily.

    These black cavalry are elite cavalry, and they are brave in field battles, but it is really embarrassing for them to defend the city.

    Soon the defense line of the city wall was breached, and the remaining black cavalry tried to break through on horseback. After all, under such circumstances, if they continued to fight, they would only end up being wiped out.

    The remaining black cavalry rushed out along the north gate, but they were too happy.

    Soon they found out in despair that the Qinghe Army Qingqi of the brigade had long been waiting for them outside the city.

    These Qinghe Army Qingqi belonged to the newly formed Qingqi Battalion. They were not good at attacking the city and were ordered to roam outside the city.

    The Qingqi Battalion saw the excitement of the infantry brothers fighting, and their hands were itchy for a long time.

    Seeing the black cavalry fleeing from the city at this moment, it was like seeing a fat hungry wolf, and pounced on it yelling.

    There was no suspense in this fight. Facing the Qinghe army's light cavalry, which had an absolute advantage in strength, these black cavalry who had no fighting spirit were quickly killed.

    Chen Ziang and the others recaptured the provincial capital, and their reputation was greatly shaken. The news spread and attracted a lot of attention.

    The troops of the Qinghe army guarding various places saw the provincial capital being captured and even the commander-in-chief beheaded. They were panicked for a while, and many people began to pack their bags and flee for their lives.

    But who knew that the situation on the battlefield would change so quickly, Chen Zi'ang's army would rise against the trend, and they would retake the provincial capital again.

    "This Chen guy is really kind!"

    "Damn, I admire him!"

    ?"Our 10th Battalion is not a coward, and we are not afraid of death to kill the enemy with me!"

    Chen Zi'ang's successive victories not only wiped out the vital force of the Black Cavalry Army, but also injected a shot in the arm for the collapsed Qinghe Army.

    Many Qinghe soldiers who hid and fled desperately lived and slept in the open, and those who lived in hiding in Tibet were really useless.

    Chen Ziang led his troops to successive battles and victories, which undoubtedly restored the confidence of many soldiers of the Qinghe Army.

    Those Qinghe troops stationed in various parts of the province were not so flustered anymore. Although they were still waiting and watching, they learned that Chen Ziang led his troops to recapture the capital, and their morale recovered a lot.

    Many deserters who sneaked away from the Qinghe Army saw the situation reversed, and they returned to the barracks with nowhere to go.

    "General Chen, I am Zhou Hao, the hundred-man general of the third battalion, and I am willing to listen to you."

    "General Chen, I am a general of the 15th Battalion with thousands of soldiers. Although I only have more than a hundred brothers, I am willing to go with you to rescue the deputy commander."

    "General Chen"

    Chen Zi'ang's reputation was greatly shaken, and those Qinghe army's defeated soldiers and remnants who had been hiding everywhere came out one after another and gathered under Chen Zi'ang's command.

    Chen Zi'ang never refused to these Qinghe army skirmishers and small groups who volunteered to vote.

    You must know that at the peak of the Qinghe Army, there were nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses. Although they suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Black Cavalry Army, the emaciated camels were bigger than the horses.

    Facing the fleeing Qinghe army, the black cavalry army was also somewhat powerless in pursuit, so many Qinghe troops fled into mountainous and rural areas.

    Now that Chen Zi'ang has regained his strength, the hungry soldiers of the Qinghe army hiding in the mountains can still sit there, and they come to vote one after another.

    Countless streams flowed into Chen Ziang's command, and within a short period of time, their soldiers and horses swelled to more than 50,000 people.

    Although more than 10,000 are old and weak women and children, there are more than 40,000 soldiers capable of fighting, and their strength has been greatly enhanced.

    With soldiers and horses in his hands, Chen Ziang's confidence became much stronger, and he immediately sent troops to Qingyang Mansion, preparing to rescue the deputy commander Chen Ru who was in a tight siege.

    Deputy Marshal Chen Ru has 50,000 troops under his command. At this moment, their retreat was cut off by the Black Cavalry Army, and at the same time, they were besieged by the army commanded by the fourth prince of the dynasty.

    When he lost contact with the provincial capital, Chen Ru was not aware of it. Although he didn't know what happened in the capital, he cautiously ordered to shrink the defense, and withdrew his troops from the south bank of Qingshui River to Qingyang Prefecture.

    It was because of Chen Ru's caution that they escaped the danger of being attacked from both sides.

    However, the troops were shrunk to Qingyang Fucheng, avoiding being defeated in the field battle, but it also caused them to fall into a tight siege.

    Chen Ru kept sending messengers to ask for help, and at the same time wanted to find out what happened in the provincial capital.

    However, there are rangers of the Black Cavalry Army everywhere, and their messengers can't break out at all. Naturally, their eyes are darkened, and they don't know what happened, so they can only stick to it and wait for help.

    However, after waiting for several days in a row, instead of waiting for reinforcements, they waited for the heads of Marshal Zhang Dayuan and Deputy Marshal Xu Fu, which undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Chen Ru and the others.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
