"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 155
In the twilight of the morning, the mighty Qinghe army left Qingyangfu City and marched westward along the official road.
The Qinghe army gathered the garrisons from all over the country, and recruited many soldiers from the refugees, and became strong again.
The heavily armed soldiers of the Qinghe Army lined up in four columns and marched forward in large strides, with flags unfurled and spears protruding like forests, exuding a chilling air invisibly.
Behind the army is a mighty convoy, and the convoy full of food and supplies will squeeze the pipeline to the brim.
The roaming horse galloped wantonly in the field around the official road, rolling up smoke and dust all over the sky.
The Qinghe Army was led by Meng Jianbo's Third Army, followed by Luo Dagang's Fifth Army, which formed the first echelon.
The command headquarters and the first army led by Chen Ru, the army belongs to the old battalion, and the logistics troops are the second echelon.
The Second Army Corps led by Chen Ziang is still stationed in the city of Qingyang Mansion, while Liu Yidao's Fourth Army Corps is deployed on the south bank of the Qingshui River. They serve as the third echelon responsible for breaking the rear.
? Such a mighty and majestic troop marched along the official road, and it was quite lively with people and horses neighing, like a long winding dragon.
"Your Highness, the bandit army has begun to retreat westward."
The scouts and cavalry of the Dynasty Army had been staring at the Qingyang Mansion. As soon as the Qinghe Army moved, they immediately reported the situation to the Fourth Prince.
The fourth prince had already made the arrangements last night, and now that he heard that the Qinghe army was indeed retreating westward, a cruel smile appeared on his knife-sharpened face.
He had already laid a net on the shallow water beach. As long as the Qinghe army reached the shallow water beach, they would surely be defeated. Thinking that the war was finally coming to an end, he couldn't help being excited.
"Your Highness, the brothers in the Black Cavalry Army can't stand it any longer."
Some generals of the Black Cavalry Army were very excited when they saw the Qinghe Army continuously driving out of Qingyangfu City.
After all, the Qinghe Army was hiding in the high-walled Fucheng, and their cavalry troops could not help each other.
But now that the Qinghe army has left the city and lost the support of the city wall, it is time for their black cavalry to show their might.
"The meat is covered in the pot, what are you in a hurry for?"
Seeing these generals who were eager to fight, the fourth prince seldom teased them.
A general said with a smile: "The last general's sword has not drank blood for a long time, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"If the army is dispatched now, with the temperament of the bandit army, they might retreat back to Qingyang Prefecture and act as a coward. It will disrupt our encirclement and annihilation plan. You should stay calm."
Seeing these generals eager to make contributions, the fourth prince also patiently asked them to take care of the overall situation.
"Your Highness, if we just watch them leave Qingyang Prefecture and turn a blind eye, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the bandits." A general said worriedly.
"There is some truth to what you said."
The fourth prince nodded after thinking for a while: "In this case, then send a cavalry to harass them. Remember, harassing is enough, don't scare them back."
"No!"
Soon, thousands of black cavalry troops were dispatched from the frontline battalion of the Dynasty. They crossed the Qingshui River from a shallow place, and tentatively launched an attack on the Fourth Army of the Qinghe Army stationed here.
Liu Yidao's Fourth Army was mainly composed of cavalry. They were stationed on the south bank of the Qingshui River to monitor the Dynasty Army and at the same time cover the transfer of the main force.
"Report - the Black Cavalry is coming!"
Seeing thousands of black cavalry rushing over aggressively, the ranger quickly rode his horse towards the dragon cavalry general Liu Yidao, and shouted from a long distance away.
Liu Yidao sat on the horseback, squinted a pair of narrow eyes and looked at the black cavalry galloping in the distance, and let out a cold snort from his nostrils.
"Drumming! Let's fight!"
"No!"
Liu Yidao had been suffocating for a long time, and led the cavalry of the Qinghe Army to meet him amidst the thunderous drums.
On the banks of the broad Qingshui River, the two cavalry units quickly fought into one group, blood gushed like a spring, and people kept falling to their deaths.
The Black Cavalry Army received the order of the fourth prince, and did not attack with all their strength, but only assumed an attacking posture.
The Black Cavalry Army was blocked by the troops led by Liu Yidao on the banks of the Qingshui River, while the main force of the Qinghe Army marched westward in a mighty manner without being affected in the slightest.
in the afternoon??The Second Army Corps led by Chen Ziang also left Qingyang Fucheng, and followed closely to the west.
When Chen Ziang led his troops to leave Qingyang Fucheng, he issued an order to burn Qingyang Fucheng.
The officers and soldiers of all ministries also followed the orders. When Chen Ziang and his last troops withdrew, the entire prefecture city was already ablaze.
"Withdraw!"
Seeing the black smoke billowing from Qingyang Mansion, Liu Yidao's troops, who were in charge of intercepting the Dynasty's army by the Qingshui River, no longer hesitated, and led their troops westward.
When the Black Cavalry Army of the Ten Thousand Dynasties crossed the Qingshui River and arrived at Qingyang Fucheng, they saw the flames sweeping through the Fucheng, and their faces were livid.
Their 10,000 black cavalry troops were ordered to seize Fucheng, cut off the Qinghe army's retreat, and prevent the Qinghe army from retreating into the city again when they saw the situation was not good.
But who would have thought that when Chen Ziang left, he actually burned the Qingyang Prefecture to the ground, leaving them without a place to stay.
"Hmph, since you have cut your own way of retreat, you must have committed your own crimes!"
While the general of the Black Cavalry Army was full of resentment, he was also very angry in his heart, because it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build a city, and now it was burned to ashes.
Although he was angry, the general of the Black Cavalry Army also knew that the Qinghe Army really had no way out now, and there was only one way to go to Hei.
When the news reached the fourth prince's ears, the fourth prince was rushing towards the preset battlefield at the shallow water beach, surrounded by an army.
"It will not be long before the defeat of the Qinghe Army."
Since the Qinghe army cut off their retreat and set fire to the Qingyang mansion, this undoubtedly dispelled the fourth prince's worries.
In the eyes of the Fourth Prince, what he worried most was that the Qinghe Army would retreat to Qingyang Mansion and defend the city if they found something was wrong.
However, as Qingyang Mansion was burned to the ground, the Qinghe army had no place to retreat now.
Chen Ziang and the others seemed to be cutting off their own way of retreat, but in fact they also dispelled the fluke mentality of some officers and soldiers inside, letting them know that they had no way of retreat and could only follow the main force all the way to the dark.
After all, the army of the dynasty is now eyeing them fiercely. Once they place an order, they will definitely be attacked by the army of the dynasty and torn to pieces.
If they don't want to die, they have only one choice now, and that is to follow the main force.
Because the Qinghe army had a large number of old and weak women and children accompanying the army, their marching speed was not fast, and they only traveled forty miles a day until night fell.
The fourth prince's pre-set battlefield is at the shallow water beach more than a hundred miles away, so he is not in a hurry. What he needs now is for the troops to set up their nets, and then wipe out the Qinghe army. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
