    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 217

    Chen Ziang's troops were intercepted by the Fourth Prince in the Pingtou Mountain area, and the imperial guards guarded the main roads leading to the Hezhong Province.

    The Black Cavalry troops were wandering around, staring at Chen Ziang and the others, and Chen Ziang and the others fell into a situation where they were attacked from both sides.

    Chen Ziang and the others thought they would be able to escape immediately, but who knew that the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole would sneak into the encirclement of the fourth prince, which made him extremely depressed.

    At the same time, Chen Ziang also realized that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. No matter at any time, no opponent should be underestimated.

    Because this is a cruel battlefield, any negligence may capsize the ship in the gutter, so that there is no redemption.

    The Imperial Guard Army and Black Cavalry Army under the command of the Fourth Prince had experienced on the battlefield. Although they could not be said to be experienced in hundreds of battles, Chen Ziang did not dare to underestimate their combat effectiveness.

    Chen Zi'ang now has only four thousand Qingqi under his command, not to mention the shortage of men and horses. After repeated fights, almost all of these four thousand brothers were wounded, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

    "General, the scout team reports that the main roads are guarded by the Imperial Guards and local garrisons, and we have been surrounded."

    The scouts sent by Chen Ziang also quickly figured out the surrounding situation, that is, their retreat was cut off.

    "We are masters at playing hawks, but we didn't expect the hawks to peck our eyes in the end."

    Thinking that they were able to deal with hundreds of thousands of King Qin's troops with ease, they did not expect that they were now trapped by the troops of the fourth prince.

    "It's useless to say anything now, we must break out as soon as possible, otherwise, the longer the time delays, the worse it will be for us."

    "I'm afraid, hundreds of thousands of troops will do nothing to us, these four princes have only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, we just kill them!"

    The army was in trouble, but Fatty Lu, the general, did not show the slightest fear on his face, and suggested to kill a bloody road directly.

    Chen Ziang also knew that now it seemed that he had no other choice but to kill a bloody road.

    Chen Zi'ang ordered: "Fatty, take someone to test the reality of the imperial army in all directions."

    "No!"

    Fatty Lu suddenly stood up, and after a reply, he went to gather the troops.

    Soon, Fatty Lu personally led a thousand Qinghe army Qingqi towards the direction they came from.

    "Report! More than a thousand thieves are coming towards us!"

    A deputy general of the black cavalry army personally led five thousand black cavalry troops to cut off Chen Ziang's retreat. Hearing that the Qinghe army had turned around and returned, his dark eyes were full of cold killing intent.

    "Fight!"

    Following the order of the deputy general of the Black Cavalry Army, the dull sound of war drums sounded, and the five thousand Black Cavalry soldiers quickly drew out their sabers, which shone like snow under the sunlight.

    Fatty Lu and the others also noticed the 5,000 black cavalry cavalry. Seeing the opponent's sword unsheathed and murderous look, his expression darkened.

    "Turn around!"

    Although Fatty Lu was not afraid of fighting with these black cavalry troops, his mission was to test the enemy's true strength, so he resisted the impulse in his heart, turned a corner, and led his troops in another direction.

    However, the situation in the other direction was also very bad. They did not go far before they were blocked by countless fences and ditches.

    Behind these fences and ditches, countless local garrison troops and Janissary soldiers stabbed like a forest, and they were already in full battle.

    Not far away, there are still many cavalry troops staring at them, ready to pounce on them at any time.

    Fatty Lu led his troops to investigate in all directions, and attacked several places he felt were weak.

    But unfortunately, the opponent's encirclement seems to be weak, but every time they attack, the opponent's cavalry will rush up the flanks.

    In order to avoid falling into the situation of being attacked from the front and back, Fatty Lu could only end the attack in a hurry, and then retreat to a safe area.

    After constant probing and attacking, Fatty Lu finally determined the relatively weak location of the encirclement of the Fourth Prince.

    "General, the southeast direction is garrisoned by local garrison troops. There are only a small number of Imperial Guard troops. As long as we concentrate our forces to attack, we should be able to fight a bloody path."

    Fatty Lu also fed back the result of his exploration to Chen Ziang, that is, the enemy army in the southeast is weak.

      "After dark, break out from the southeast direction."

    When Chen Ziang learned that the enemy forces in the southeast direction were relatively weak, he quickly decided to break out from the southeast direction.

    "You tell the brothers, get ready for a bloody battle. Many people may die in this battle. If you have a suicide note, write it down and hand it over to my personal team for safekeeping."

    Chen Ziang also knew that they had to go all out, because if they couldn't break out tonight, there might be a steady stream of dynasty troops arriving tomorrow, and there would really be no way out.

    In fact, this is indeed the case. The prince and the others dug almost three feet into the encirclement in the western and southern regions of Gyeonggi Province, but they did not find Chen Ziang and the others.

    After learning that the fourth prince had led his troops to the Pingtoushan area, the prince hurriedly sent someone to investigate, only to find out that a troop under the banner of the Tie family had gone eastward in the past few days.

    After some inquiries, the crown prince learned that the troops of the Tie family had been missing for several days, and their life and death were unknown.

    After all, King Qin's army has hundreds of thousands of troops, and they belong to hundreds of families. On such a vast battlefield, it is indeed difficult to manage.

    The prince suspected that Chen Ziang and the others who broke through under the banner of the Tie family were the ones who had broken through, so he also led his troops towards the Pingtou Mountain area non-stop, not wanting that the credit would be taken away by the fourth prince.

    The fourth prince is also hurrying up to dispatch troops. The local garrison troops in the surrounding areas, as well as some family troops, are almost all recruited by him, preparing to end the battle as soon as possible.

    When all parties were moving and actively dispatching troops to prepare for a new round of fighting, an extremely ordinary carriage without any badge slowly drove into a dynasty army camp in the southeast of Pingtou Town.

    In the barracks, a young general was discussing how to deploy defenses. He was quite puzzled when he learned that the family had come, but he didn't dare to neglect.

    After all, his achievements today can be said to be inseparable from the support of family resources, and he himself and the family have both prosperity and loss.

    "Patriarch, why are you here?"

    However, when the young general arrived at the military tent where he received the guests, he was still taken aback when he saw the gray-haired old man.

    Because this old man is not only the current patriarch of their family, but also the prince of the state conferred by the court.

    "I heard that you are here to suppress thieves, so I'll stop by to have a look." The old man replied.

    The young general did not expect that the high-ranking patriarch would visit him in the frontline barracks in person, and he was also flattered.

    "Thank you, Patriarch, for your concern. The war here will end soon. The bandit army has been besieged by me, and their destruction is imminent."

    The old man looked at this heroic junior with a smile, and nodded in satisfaction.

    The old man smiled and asked: "Are you still a general?"

    The young general replied: "Reporting to the patriarch, I will now be added as a garrison general."

    "Among the young people of the first generation, if you can become a general, the future is limitless, not bad."

    "This is all thanks to the care of my family. Otherwise, with my ability, I am afraid that I will have to endure more than ten years to become a general."

    "Well, I am very pleased that you can think so."

    After the old man paused, he continued: "The family has indeed invested a lot in you over the years, but now the family needs you to do something, I wonder if you would like it?"

    "I am willing to go through fire and water for the family!" The young general said vowedly.

    "What if he betrayed the court?"

    "ah?"

    "Of course, you can refuse now, I won't force it." The old man smiled and stared at the young man.

    Seeing the smiling old man and the unfathomable middle-aged guard behind the old man, the young general's brain was spinning rapidly.

    "Patriarch, I am willing to go through fire and water for the family."

    After thinking about it for a while, the young general finally decided to put the interests of the family first.

    "As expected of Xiao Chu among the descendants of my Guo family, I saw you right." The old man was very satisfied with this answer.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
