"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 189
When the main force of the Qinghe Army under the command of Chen Ru was breaking through with life and death, the Gyeonggi Province was also surging.
? Chen Ziang led his troops into the Gyeonggi Province, attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold all the way, shaking the king's capital.
On the one hand, the emperor appointed the prince as the marshal of the garrison, dispatched troops to defend the capital, and at the same time issued the imperial edict of King Qin.
After receiving the edict of King Qin, the troops in the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi Province did not dare to neglect, and led their troops to King Qin one after another.
All the way, the army marched towards the capital along the official road. On the official road, banners were fluttering, swords and guns were like forests, and King Qin's troops could not be seen at a glance.
These various armies heading to King Qin of the Gyeonggi Province include local garrison troops in coarse military uniforms, provincial garrison troops in leather armor, and majestic black cavalry on tall horses.
These black cavalry troops were recruited to various regions to assist in the suppression of the rebels. Now that the capital is in a hurry, they were urgently recalled.
Due to King Qin's too many troops, the official road was congested. In order to get to the capital as soon as possible, many troops could only march on the fields on both sides of the official road, and countless crops were destroyed.
The people in the towns and cottages along the way have never seen such a mighty army, especially the troops wearing various military uniforms and speaking different accents, which made them very happy and gathered to watch.
But soon the onlookers couldn't laugh anymore, because the troops from all walks of life were so anxious to serve the king that they didn't even bring their tents.
"Your home has been confiscated!"
In the evening, groups of soldiers began to enter various cottages, preparing to camp.
Facing the requisition of houses by these soldiers with sharp knives, the people naturally did not dare to resist, so they could only vacate the houses for these soldiers to live in.
"You guys, go and pull the fat pig out of the pigsty and slaughter it, let the brothers eat meat tonight."
Seeing the fat pigs raised by the farm, some military officers ordered the soldiers to slaughter them without even thinking about it.
"My lord, my lord, you can't kill pigs, we"
"Get out, we are the teachers of the king, what's wrong with eating your pig, if you keep yelling, believe it or not, you will be slaughtered together?"
Facing the pleas of the people, these soldiers showed their true nature and threatened viciously.
After these soldiers entered the village house, they slaughtered pigs and sheep, making a mess, and the common people could only secretly wipe their tears.
After drinking and eating, the soldiers who had nothing to do began to have fun again, and many women also suffered.
Facing the Qin Wang's teachers all the way, the people along the way were watching the excitement at first, but in the end they dared not go back to their homes and could only sleep in the wilderness. They dared not speak out about this.
?Because a large number of troops rushed to King Wang Duqin one after another, many other rebels who had been chased to the sky and had nowhere to go finally took a breath.
It has to be said that it was an accident that Chen Ziang and the others unseen many rebels.
When King Qin's troops marched all the way to Gyeonggi Province, after a few days of dawdling, Chen Zi'ang also captured Zhen'an Mansion and planted the evil wolf battle flag on the top of the city.
Zhen'an Mansion is the last prefectural city leading to the royal capital, and if you go further north, there will be a flat river.
The troops commanded by General Zuo of the Imperial Guard fought fiercely with Chen Ziang and the others for several days in Zhen'an Mansion.
At the very beginning, Chen Ziang sent his infantry to fight, and the casualties were not small on the first day, which made the left general Yang Yunfeng feel that it would be no problem to block Chen Ziang and the others.
But from the second day onwards, Chen Ziang and the others adjusted their offensive tactics, and those soldiers who had experienced the previous day's fighting also became much calmer and calmer.
Although the town of Zhen'an was still not captured the next day, the casualties of Chen Zi'ang's troops plummeted.
On the third day, another banner battalion managed to attack the city, but was driven down again.
On the fourth day, the Qinghe army attacked the top of the city several times, and General Zuo, the imperial guard stationed in the city, also felt frightened.
During the repeated fighting and training of the Qinghe Army, the casualties continued to decrease, but the combat effectiveness continued to increase.
The temperament of an army will be affected by their commanders. The commanders of Chen Zi'ang's six banner battalions are all brave men who crawled out of the dead.
Under the leadership of these brave generals, the Qinghe Army of the Six Banner Battalions gradually showed their fangs, and the aura of not fearing death made the imperial guards terrified.
Seeing a large number of King Qin troops coming from all directions, Chen Zi??I didn't want to continue to consume it, so I ordered the six banner battalions to attack together.
Facing the fierce offensive of the Qinghe army, although there were tens of thousands of Imperial Guards guarding Zhen'an Mansion, they still failed to hold it in the end.
Because these Imperial Guard soldiers are all born well, they don't want to stay here with their lives.
Except for thousands of Imperial Guards who were killed in battle, most of the Imperial Guards fled directly along the north gate after being defeated.
Chen Ziang also didn't send cavalry to chase after these defeated Imperial Guards, because he needed these frightened Imperial Guards to promote them for free.
General Zuo Yang Yunfeng was very energetic at first, but when the city was broken, he ran faster than anyone else and left the army alone. This was also one of the main reasons for the collapse of the Imperial Guard.
As before, Chen Zi'ang, after capturing Zhen'an Mansion, quickly opened a warehouse to release food to win people's hearts.
At the same time, Chen Zi'ang took out all the seized money in the treasury to reward the meritorious soldiers, so as to boost morale.
Liang Guanlin and his team were the first to climb up the city wall in this battle of breaking the city, and stabilized their position. They received a special award from Chen Ziang and notified the whole army.
Liang Guanlin and his ten-man team lost six people, even ten generals, but they became the objects of admiration of the Pao Ze people, because they were personally praised and rewarded by Chen Ziang.
Liang Guanlin, a scholar who used to be powerless, also killed three soldiers of the Imperial Guards. He changed his previous elegance and showed a fierce vigor all over his body.
Chen Ziang commended Liang Guanlin and the others mainly to improve and boost morale, so that the brethren could move forward, and they fought desperately, and they deserved the glory and rewards.
"General, there is good news. Our scouts who stayed in the border area of ??the province reported that the fourth prince of the dynasty has led his troops back to help."
The main purpose of Chen Ziang's invasion of Gyeonggi Province was to attract the troops of the Fourth Prince to return and cover the retreat of Chen Ru and others.
Now that the fourth prince led his troops back, Chen Ziang also heaved a long sigh of relief. At least Chen Ru and the others faced much less pressure.
"Very good, as long as they come back for help, the commander will be safe." Chen Ziang said happily.
"General, although the commander-in-chief is safe, our current situation is not good." Lin Yu's face was not at all happy.
He said worriedly: "According to the report from the scouts, a large number of dynastic troops are coming towards us from all directions. The one closest to us has more than 30,000 people, and they are menacing."
Li Lang also said: "If we don't retreat immediately, we may be trapped in a tight siege, and the whole army is in danger of being wiped out." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
