"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 182
When Chen Ziang was training in a battle in Zhen'an Prefecture, Gyeonggi Province, attracting the attention of the Far Eastern Dynasty, a brutal battle was going on in a mountainous area hundreds of miles away.
Chen Ru, the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, led the main force of the Qinghe Army to move southward strategically, trying to pass through Yunmeng Province, and then go south to Jiangdong Province to stay away from the heartland of the Far Eastern Dynasty.
Chen Ziang led his troops as a partial division, trying to divert away the imperial guards and black cavalry commanded by the fourth prince, so as to cover the retreat of the main force.
But the fourth prince also learned to be smart, and he was not fooled. Instead, he ignored Chen Ziang and the others, and wanted to kill Chen Ru's subordinates.
Chen Ziang had no choice but to go back with 8,000 cavalry to no avail, so he could only continue to advance northward, invaded the Gyeonggi province, tried to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and forced the fourth prince to return to serve as king.
When Chen Ziang and the others attacked Gyeonggi Province to the north, Chen Ru also led his troops to the junction of Qinghe Province and Yunmeng Province.
Although Chen Ru and the others bypassed the heavy troops stationed in Yunyang Mansion, they still underestimated another enemy.
These enemies are the local wealthy and powerful armed forces in Yunmeng Province. They are worried that their land and property will not be protected after the Qinghe army enters, so they actively cooperate with the local troops in combat.
The powerful armed forces of these rich men have been fighting bandits and bandits all year round, and their combat effectiveness is not weak.
A large number of rich men and powerful armed forces gathered together with the local garrison and provincial garrison to build several blockade lines.
Although Chen Ru and the others charged and fought and tore through several blockade lines, the fourth prince behind also led his troops to catch up.
Under such circumstances, the Qinghe army marched slowly because the family members accompanying the army had too much luggage. Under the siege and interception of all parties, they were finally blocked in the mountainous area at the junction of the two provinces.
After the fourth prince arrived on the battlefield, he took over the local armed forces, the local garrison, and the provincial garrison, and then planned strategies and unified dispatch and command.
Since the Qinghe Army is not familiar with the local terrain, it can be regarded as fighting in an unfamiliar area, while the Dynasty Army knows the basics of the local area, and the situation is extremely unfavorable for the Qinghe Army.
Under the personal command of the fourth prince, the Qinghe army rushed left and right, suffered heavy losses but was still unable to break out of the encirclement.
After a series of bloody battles, the Qinghe Army lost more than 30,000 troops, and the rest of them were surrounded by groups within an area of ??less than ten miles around Tianzhu Mountain.
The Fourth Prince commanded various troops to launch fierce attacks on the Qinghe Army in turn, and the two sides fought fiercely on the various hills around Tianzhu Mountain.
Many hilltops have changed hands repeatedly, but the Qinghe army is short of food, the soldiers are exhausted, and the situation continues to deteriorate.
On the other hand, the army of the dynasty had a steady stream of reinforcements and food and grass support. In order to destroy the Qinghe army, the local powerful armed forces also fought bravely to be the first, which caused the Qinghe army quite a headache.
The Imperial Guard under the Fourth Prince's command was originally weak in combat effectiveness, but as the war continued, the surviving Imperial Guard soldiers also became fierce and bloodthirsty, and their combat effectiveness continued to soar.
Chen Ru and the others were in a desperate situation. They broke through several times and were forced back. Now they lack water and food, and their morale is extremely low.
If they hadn't relied on the steep mountains and the dynasty army to fight, they would have been wiped out long ago.
"Organize another death squad, and we must fight a bloody road tomorrow!"
Chen Ru was also emaciated due to the unfavorable battle, but he had no way to rest, because they might be destroyed at any time.
All the generals also went to battle in person, covered in blood, although they also had the idea of ??dispersing and breaking through at the beginning.
But yesterday, another banner battalion unit broke away from the unit without authorization, trying to break through alone.
But before they protruded far, they fell into the siege of the dynasty army, and finally the whole army was wiped out.
?Because of the lessons learned from the past, everyone can only hug together to keep warm, praying that they can kill a bloody road.
After assigning tasks to the generals, Chen Ru, the general, took a break and led people to inspect the defense lines in person.
All the hills were covered with corpses, blood flowed into rivers, the cruel fighting turned the vegetation into ashes, and the hills became bare.
Seeing those soldiers who were exhausted and covered in scars, Chen Ru also felt deeply powerless.
If they are faster, they can easily break into Yunmeng Province, but their team is too bigThe blood was swollen, and the local powerful troops were familiar with the brothers, blocking them layer by layer, so that they finally fell into a tight siege.
In such a desperate situation, Chen Ru also lost contact with the outside world. I don't know whether Chen Zi'ang's partial army was wiped out, or what happened.
As the commander-in-chief of the Qinghe Army, Chen Ru is now facing great pressure. He even wants to surrender to the Dynasty Army, but thinking of the countless dead brothers, he has no choice but to give up this idea.
When the Qinghe army fell into the siege of the imperial army and was facing a desperate situation, a fast horse galloped into the camp of the imperial army and went straight to the camp of the Chinese army.
"Your Highness, this is the imperial edict of King Qin. Your Majesty orders you to send your troops back to aid the capital."
This travel-worn cavalry brought an order from the capital, which was to order the fourth prince to lead his troops back to assist King Qin immediately.
"Chen Zi'ang's troops only have a few thousand people. With the strength of the king's capital, it should be enough to deal with it, right?"
After the fourth prince received the edict, he was also puzzled. The reason why he didn't go back for a long time was because he felt that there were so many soldiers and horses near the capital, and it would be easy to eliminate Chen Ziang.
"Your Highness does not know that Chen Zi'ang's troops now have more than a few thousand people. Countless bandits have joined him, and they are said to have 500,000 troops."
"What?!"
After hearing this, the fourth prince also took a breath.
"How is it possible! How many of them are there, have you figured it out yet?" The astonished Fourth Prince asked urgently.
"Your Highness, Chen Zi'ang's troops do not have 500,000 troops, but according to various investigations, there are always 100,000."
"Moreover, they have successively breached more than ten cities in Gyeonggi Province, including Xilin Prefecture, and now Zhen'an Prefecture is also in danger."
After hearing what the messenger said, the fourth prince also realized the seriousness of the situation.
Once the Zhen'an Mansion is breached, the south of the capital will be open, and there will be no danger to defend.
If Chen Ziang led his troops to capture the capital, their Far Eastern Dynasty would be over, and he would become a sinner through the ages.
He wanted to lead his troops back immediately to eliminate Chen Zi'ang in order to relieve the threat of the king's capital, but when he thought of Chen Ru's troops who were under siege, he was a little unwilling, because once the tiger was released, it would be difficult to encircle and wipe out.
"Quickly summon the generals to discuss matters in the Chinese army's tent!"
The fourth prince is now caught in a dilemma, he has to call the generals to discuss countermeasures. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
