"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 164
The pitch-black night shrouded the distant mountains and near forests, the torches on the walls of Yunyang Mansion were crackling and burning, and the air smelled of turpentine.
Orderly footsteps sounded in the darkness, and a group of guard soldiers in leather armor showed their faces under the leadership of a night watch officer.
"Strengthen your guard!"
"No!"
The night watch officer patrolled along the city wall with sonorous steps, loudly reminding the night watch soldiers.
The guard soldiers standing behind the battlements with sharp knives stared vigilantly at the darkness outside the city, and any disturbance could not escape their eyes.
In the wilderness outside the city, a large camp stretching for several miles stood in the darkness, with countless bonfires burning. It was the Qinghe Army camp.
The mighty Qinghe Army arrived at Yunyang Mansion, making the provincial garrison guarding here feel like a formidable enemy.
Now the chief of the garrison here is eager for the fourth prince to lead the army to arrive as soon as possible.
?Because he was worried that with their mere 10,000 garrison soldiers, they would not be able to stop the siege of the large and powerful Qinghe army.
When the provincial security forces in Yunyangfu City were facing a big enemy and dared not sleep day and night, the Qinghe army camp outside the city was another scene.
Groups of soldiers and their families are leaving the camp in an orderly manner under the command of the officers, taking advantage of the cover of night.
Yunyang Mansion blocked their way, making it impossible for them to attack for a short period of time. In the end, the command decided to give up the capture of Yunyang Mansion.
Because the time spent here is too long, it is very likely that they will be surrounded by the armies of the dynasty coming up from all around.
After a brief rest, Marshal Chen Ru personally led the main force of the Qinghe Army to detour south overnight.
In order to avoid alarming the enemies in Yunyang Mansion, they did not hold up torches, and at the same time sent scouts to seal off the area around Yunyang Mansion.
Fortunately, the guards in Yunyang Prefecture did not dare to go out of the city, so they did not realize that the Qinghe Army was preparing to detour south overnight.
The 8,000 people led by Chen Zi'ang did not withdraw with the main force. While covering the retreat of the main force, they were also part of the division to attract the enemy's attention.
The remaining 8,000 brothers are all members of Chen Ziang's Second Army. Most of them can ride horses, and those who can't are practicing intensively.
Chen Ziang and the others have long had their own way of dealing with brothers who can't ride horses, that is, to tie them on horseback and become mounted infantry.
Fortunately, all the military horses have been tamed. For many brothers who can't ride horses, as long as they don't fall off the horses, they can keep up with the marching army.
When many family members left, they hugged and cried with the remaining soldiers, and there was an atmosphere of sadness in the air.
"You must be alive, the child in your stomach is still waiting for you."
"You must take good care of yourself."
Seeing this farewell scene, many officers also felt very heavy, but they had no choice.
However, if this was a peaceful and prosperous age, there would not be so many life and death. However, in this age of life and death, many people are separated, and they may never see each other again in their entire lives.
The Far Eastern Dynasty has been rotten to the bone. Faced with heavy corvee and exorbitant taxes, if they do not rise up and resist, they will not survive at all.
Resisting at least has a chance to survive, if not resisting, one can only be squeezed to death alive.
It is precisely because of this that more than 30 provinces in the Far East are full of wars and wars everywhere, resulting in graffiti, and only the common people suffer in the end.
Lin Yu, the head of the banner, was also in the ranks of the partial teachers who attracted the enemy this time, and wanted to be separated from his beloved girl again.
"Brother Lin, swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Don't rush to the front alone like you used to. If something happens to you, what will I do"
The young girl wearing a skirt stood in front of Lin Yu reluctantly, tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.
"Why are you crying? I haven't fought any bad battles. It's all good. I won't die. Don't worry."
Lin Yu stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes, his eyes were full of reluctance.
"Don't say you are immortal, you will be fine." The girl said, plunged into Lin Yu's arms, and began to cry.
Seeing the crying girl with pear blossoms and rain, Lin Yu, a fearless general on the battlefield, also felt at this momentHelpless, he could only pat her on the shoulder softly to show comfort.
Seeing Lin Yu comforting the young girl softly, Chen Ziang, who was riding on a horse not far away, couldn't help showing envy.
He is a bachelor in this world, and he has never enjoyed the warmth of his family. This time he led a partial division into an expedition is extremely dangerous. If he died, who would miss it?
While Chen Ziang was thinking wildly, the sound of horseshoes sounded behind him, and the heroic lieutenant Chen Xiaoyu rode over.
"Xiao Yu, why haven't you left yet?"
Seeing this young female general on the battlefield, Chen Ziang couldn't help asking.
"Just pack up and leave right away."
Chen Xiaoyu reined in the horse in front of Chen Ziang, looking at Chen Ziang with complicated eyes.
"Then let's go quickly, if the day breaks, the enemy troops in the city will find out." Chen Ziang said.
"Is it okay for you to lead a partial teacher? If not, I will tell my father and commander, and I will go for you."
Chen Xiaoyu did not answer Chen Ziang's words, but after a pause, asked Chen Ziang if he was confident.
"Why, don't you have confidence in me?" Chen Ziang asked with a smile.
Seeing the confidence on Chen Ziang's face, Chen Xiaoyu hesitated to speak, and finally handed the sword in his hand to Chen Ziang.
"Take it, this was seized from the general of the dynasty. It was cut like clay. I hope it can help you."
"You can keep such a good knife. I left my knife with a new one. I'm not used to it." Chen Ziang politely declined Chen Xiaoyu's offer.
Just kidding, his saber was given as a gift by the system, he felt that he should use his own saber with confidence.
"Cut, I don't know good people."
Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but pouted, and took back her knife resentfully.
"gone¡ª¡ª"
As Chen Xiaoyu said, he kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the horse galloped forward.
"I'll be waiting for you in Jiangdong Province. If you don't come back, I will definitely let the king's capital leave no one behind!"
Chen Xiaoyu's figure disappeared into the darkness, and that ostentatious voice echoed far away in Chen Ziang's ears, and Chen Ziang couldn't help showing a wry smile.
"General, Miss Shen has something for you."
At this time, Li Changqing, the chief of the army, rode over and handed a jade pendant to Chen Ziang with a strange expression.
"What is this?" Chen Ziang took over the jade pendant exuding a feminine fragrance, and couldn't help asking.
"Miss Shen said, this is a life-saving talisman to protect the general." Li Changqing replied.
Chen Ziang looked around and asked, "Where is she?"
"Miss Shen saw you talking to General Chen Xiaoyu just now, and after giving this to me, she has already left." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
