"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 118
The fourth prince is naturally aware that the so-called elite imperial guards have lost their gold and jade, and their actual combat effectiveness is extremely weak.
But now, apart from tens of thousands of black cavalry light cavalry with strong maneuverability, the only thing he can count on is the imperial guards. He can't let the cavalry go to attack the city.
"The imperial court is already extremely dissatisfied with the progress of the war. If I cannot quickly put down the bandit army, I will not be able to report to the imperial court. I am afraid that you will not be able to become generals either."
If it was placed in the past few days, he would have to chop off a few heads to make an example of the repeated failure of the attack.
But now these are young generals who are loyal to him, he can only suppress his dissatisfaction and just reprimand and warn him.
"Your Highness, please give us another chance!"
These generals are also extremely unwilling. They want to make contributions and make a lot of achievements. If they are dismissed in such a disheveled manner just after taking the position, they are really unwilling to be reconciled.
The Fourth Prince said coldly: "I'll give you three more days. If you can't conquer Qingyang Mansion again, then you can take off this armor yourself."
"No!"
These generals also knew that they had no way out now, either they conquered Qingyang Mansion and everyone was happy, or they would leave in despair.
After finally climbing to this position, these ambitious young generals naturally don't want to fail like this.
"Retire and prepare to go, attack the city at all costs!" The fourth prince ordered.
"I'll take my leave!"
All the generals resigned one after another, preparing to launch a larger-scale offensive.
"General Yang stays."
When the generals resigned, the fourth prince left Yang Hao who had been promoted to lieutenant general.
Yang Hao has repeatedly made military exploits, rising like a new star in the dynasty's army, and has become the right-hand man of the fourth prince.
The fourth prince also cultivated Yang Hao as a confidant to the ruthless Yang Hao. After all, if he wants to seize the throne from the prince in the future, he will not be able to fight alone.
"I don't know what orders your Highness has?"
Yang Hao is domineering outside and doesn't take anything seriously, but he is extraordinarily respectful to the fourth prince.
Yang Hao is also very clear in his heart that everything he has now is given by the fourth prince and has nothing to do with others.
He only needs to hug the fourth prince's thigh tightly, and then he will be able to flourish.
As for the rumors and gossips of others behind his back, he just ignored them all, because as long as the fourth prince trusted him, his position would be as stable as Mount Tai. This is called grasping the main contradiction and ignoring the secondary contradictions.
"Have you heard of Chen Ziang?"
After the fourth prince asked Yang Hao to sit down, he took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
"Chen Ziang?"
Yang Hao frowned and searched in his mind, but soon he shook his head because he had no memory at all.
Chen Zi'ang's military position in the Qinghe Army is not high, and people with a similar position to Chen Zi'ang will naturally not attract people's attention if they are caught in a large number.
Yang Hao had no direct contact with Chen Zi'ang's troops, and he didn't have the leisure to interrogate them. The Qinghe soldiers captured by his troops were killed without further ado.
When he was in the capital of Qinghe Province, he not only killed the Qinghe army commander Zhang Dayuan and deputy commander Xu Fu, but also ordered the slaughter of 50,000 Qinghe troops, which was merciless.
"Your Highness, I will send someone to investigate this man named Chen Ziang later." Yang Hao said.
The fourth prince waved his hand and said, "Since you don't know what he said, I'll tell you."
"Chen Zi'ang is a battalion general in the bandit army. I just got the news that he has led his troops to defeat General Zhang and captured the provincial capital again." The fourth prince said bitterly.
"ah?"
After hearing this, Yang Hao was also shocked.
"Your Highness, I have led my troops to defeat the main force of the Qinghe Army, and even beheaded their commander. Where did this Chen Ziang come from?"
"Besides, there are nearly 10,000 Qingqi under General Zhang Shen's command. How can he be defeated in the face of a mere remnant enemy?"
? Yang Hao is now full of fog, the Qinghe army has been defeated, he ordered General Zhang Shen to stay and wipe out the remnants of the enemy, and he led his troops back to Qingyang Mansion to attack Chen Ru's troops.
But who knew that not long after he came back, the completely defeated Qinghe army made a comeback again, and even defeated General Zhang Can.?He didn't think of it.
"I don't know where this Chen Ziang came from, but he was able to regroup the defeated bandit army and defeat General Zhang Shen. It is expected that he is not a simple person." The fourth prince said solemnly.
"Hmph, it's just a clown!"
"Your Highness, please give me a few days, and I will kill him and regain the provincial capital!" Yang Hao said with a murderous look.
Yang Hao didn't pay attention to the Qinghe army at all, and now a Chen Ziang jumped out, and he didn't mind going there to bring back his head.
"There is no need for you to look for him, that Chen Ziang has already led his troops towards Qingyang Mansion." The Fourth Prince said with an angry smile.
"What! This Chen Ziang is so arrogant!"
Yang Hao has always been arrogant and domineering, but now he didn't expect to meet someone who was even more arrogant than him, with even more murderous intent in his eyes.
Yang Hao can't wait to lead his troops to attack now, he feels that he has been provoked.
"Your Highness, I am willing to lead my troops to attack and wipe them out!"
"No, don't scare them."
Although the fourth prince was also very angry, he had other plans.
The fourth prince sneered and said, "It really doesn't take much effort to get here. Since this Chen Ziang wants to come here to save people, let him come here."
Yang Hao is not a fool either, he soon understood the fourth prince's intention, which is to lure you into the urn.
They have a large number of soldiers in Qingyang Mansion, and the terrain here is flat, which is more conducive to their black cavalry operations. This will be their main battlefield.
"Order your light cavalry not to act rashly. Let Chen Ziang come over, and I will also give an order to the imperial guards. When the time comes, let this Chen Ziang enter the city to save people, and then we can take the opportunity to catch them all!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Yang Hao also had to admire the fourth prince's trick to lure the king into the urn, and deliberately let Chen Ziang come over to save people, while they were waiting for work with ease.
In this unobstructed plain area, even if Chen Ziang and the others have tens of thousands of people, as long as they come here, they will inevitably become fish on the chopping board.
Moreover, the Qinghe Army of Qingyang Prefecture, which is under heavy siege, will definitely relax their vigilance when they see the arrival of reinforcements. As long as they open the city to meet them, then it will be their chance.
After Yang Hao left the fourth prince's military tent, he quickly made relevant arrangements.
The Qingqi wandering in the surrounding areas were all ordered not to attack Chen Ziang's troops, but to deliberately open a path so that Chen Ziang and the others could come over smoothly.
At the same time, worried that Chen Ziang and the others would retreat, Yang Hao also dispatched a cavalry unit to detour, preparing to cut off Chen Ziang's retreat.
At that time, if Chen Ziang and the others did not come to Qingyang Mansion, it would be difficult to escape from their grasp. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
