    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 161

    The Qinghe army led by Chen Ru went all the way south, and the black cavalry army and imperial guards led by the fourth prince followed closely.

    "Report!"

    "Marshal, a group of black cavalry has caught up!"

    On the seventh day, Liu Yidao's Fourth Army, who served as the guard, sent someone to report to Marshal Chen Ru that the Black Cavalry had caught up.

    "They came so fast."

    Hearing that the black cavalry had chased after them, Chen Ru and the others all changed their expressions slightly.

    They made a false move and pretended to be heading west, but secretly diverted to the south and got rid of the dynasty's army.

    But in just a few days, the troops led by the fourth prince chased after him non-stop.

    The most important wish is that the Qinghe Army not only has combat troops, but also a large number of old and weak women and children accompanying the army, and the logistics troops are also moving slowly.

    "Marshal, do you want to set up an ambush to eat them?!"

    The last time Chen Zi'ang and Liu Yidao set up an ambush, they ate up more than ten thousand black cavalry troops who were chasing up, and let the Qinghe army taste the sweetness, so some people suggested to continue to set up an ambush.

    Commander-in-Chief Chen Ru shook his head: "The commander-in-chief of the Dynasty Army is not a fool. The last time they set up an ambush was to catch the enemy by surprise. Now they are prepared. If they repeat the old tricks, they might trap us in."

    Chen Ru is now the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army. He has to be responsible for the entire army, so he has become a little more cautious, and does not want to risk the lives of the soldiers under his command.

    "Commander, we have a lot of luggage, old and weak women and children, and now only a small group of cavalry is catching up, but it won't be long before the army of the dynasty will catch up with us, so what should we do?"

    The Dynasty Army was all a uniform combat force, marching very fast, so the generals of the Qinghe Army also looked sad.

    "I'm afraid, I'll fight them at worst!"

    "We have so many brothers in the Qinghe Army, and if the Dynasty Army wants to eat us, we also want to see if they have a good set of teeth!"

    "It's better to let the brothers stop and recharge their batteries. When the imperial army arrives, they will be wiped out with ease!"

    Some grumpy and courageous generals didn't pay attention to the Dynasty Army at all. They felt that they were too aggrieved by being chased and beaten, so they might as well turn around and fight.

    "I know that the generals are brave and not afraid of the Dynasty Army, but what I am worried about is that the Dynasty Army will not fight us."

    Wu Yanqing, chief of staff, saw that some generals wanted to fight the Dynasty army, so he hurriedly stood up to stop them.

    "I said Master Wu, you are probably joking, they chased us all the way, how could they not fight us?"

    Chief of Staff Wu Yanqing did not have high prestige in the army, so he could only explain slowly when faced with the general's doubts.

    "Generals, now our enemies are not only the guards and black cavalry that are chasing after us, but also a large number of guards and local garrisons around us."

    "Once we stop, they will swarm us from all directions, and they will surround us. We don't need to fight. We only need to surround us for ten days and midnight, and we will collapse without fighting."

    Now what their Qinghe army lacks is a solid foothold, and their food and grass are also a fatal weakness.

    So they can't stop now, because if they stop to fight the dynasty army, unless they can be sure of winning and defeat the dynasty army quickly, otherwise, they will be consumed alive.

    As the general of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ru also knew that stopping would have unforeseen consequences, so he didn't dare to take risks.

    "Pass my military order, the whole army speeds up!"

    "Order the Dragon Rider General Liu Yidao to lead his troops to repel the Black Cavalry Army and ensure the safety of the army's rearguard!"

    "No!"

    Marshal Chen Ru quickly issued an order to lead the army to continue going south, because now they do not have the capital and strength to fight a decisive battle with the dynasty army.

    Although the generals felt aggrieved by being chased, since the commander-in-chief Chen Ru issued a military order, they had no choice but to obey.

    Most of Liu Yidao's Fourth Army were cavalry units, and almost all the cavalry of the entire Qinghe Army were concentrated in Liu Yidao's hands.

    Although a part of the black cavalry army has caught up, this group of black cavalry army also knows that their own strength is not enough, and they cannot defeat the Qinghe army.

    Their purpose is very simple, that is to delay as much as possible, delay the marching speed of the Qinghe army, and buy time for the army to catch up.

    Liu Yidao personally led the cavalry to try to ambush this black cavalry, butHe wasn't fooled at all, he just lingered on the edge of the ambush circle.

    "General, we also found a black cavalry army to the south of us."

    Liu Yidao was worried that he would be surrounded by the black cavalry, so he couldn't help but walk out of the ambush by himself in the end, and then continued southward.

    However, as soon as Liu Yidao and the others went south, the black cavalry behind chased them up again, approaching them constantly, and harassing them with arrows.

    An exasperated Liu Yidao turned around and fought back, but these black cavalry soldiers didn't fight them at all, and turned around and ran away.

    The black cavalry chased after them like annoying flies, and when they set up camp, the black cavalry rushed up to wreak havoc.

    So much so that Liu Yidao and the others couldn't eat or sleep well, and they were exhausted, but they couldn't do anything about each other.

    The so-called house leak happened to rain overnight. When Liu Yidao, who was serving as the rear guard, was harassed by the Black Cavalry, the Luo Dagang Fifth Army, who was serving as the vanguard, also encountered trouble.

    Most of the prefectures and counties in Qinghe Province were plowed by the Qinghe Army at the beginning. Officials fled and died, and the defense forces of many prefectures and counties were destroyed.

    ?The various prefectures and counties where they traveled all the way south, except for some people who were unwilling to leave their hometowns, they did not encounter any resistance.

    But in Yunyang Mansion, which is close to Yunmeng Province, they encountered trouble, because a garrison force from Yunmeng Province was already in full swing.

    The garrison force in this Yunmeng Province has about 10,000 people. They were originally ordered to go to Qinghe Province to assist the Fourth Prince in encircling and suppressing the Qinghe Army.

    However, as soon as they arrived in Qinghe province, the Qinghe army turned around and headed south. The four princes' urgent military order of 800 li ordered them to guard the city on the spot to prevent the Qinghe army from going south.

    This provincial garrison force of more than 10,000 people occupied the city of Yunyang Prefecture and firmly blocked the Qinghe Army's retreat.

    The Qinghe army originally planned to pass through Yunyang Mansion to collect some food and grass. After all, the impact of the war on Yunyang Mansion in the south was relatively small.

    At the beginning, the Qinghe Army's strategic direction was to the north, so the Qinghe Army only harassed the county town below Yunyang Mansion in the south. Yunyang Mansion was always under the control of the dynasty, and there was still a large amount of food reserves in the city.

    However, when Luo Dagang led the Fifth Army to Yunyang Mansion, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Yunmeng Provincial Guard.

    Luo Dagang originally thought that there were only some local garrison troops in Yunyangfu City, so he underestimated the enemy, so that the vanguard troops he sent not only failed to capture Yunyangfu City, but suffered heavy losses.

    The death of a general and more than 2,000 soldiers made Luo Dagang realize that he had kicked on the iron board.

    Luo Dagang was also furious, and he personally led the army to attack the city without knowing who his opponent was.

    There are more than 10,000 provincial garrison troops in Yunyang Mansion, and they are recharging their energy. Luo Dagang's several attacks all ended in failure.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
