    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 240

    In the southern part of the province in the middle of the river, the rolling hills are lush and lush, and scattered villages are dotted around the stream, appearing peaceful and distant.

    Compared with the more than ten prefectures and counties that are relatively rich in the central region, there are mountainous hills in the south, and the population is much sparser.

    The world was in chaos, and the ground in the province in the middle of the river was not peaceful. Several rebel armies fought fiercely in the fertile central region, creating a miasma of smoke.

    ?The hilly and mountainous areas in the south have little food production, the government is not rich, and the population is small and it is not easy to recruit soldiers, so the rebels haven't noticed it yet.

    However, the appearance of a team of ragged cavalry broke the tranquility in the southern part of the province in the middle of the river.

    "The thief army, it seems to be a thief army, run!"

    Tian Long saw the working people saw the murderous cavalry appearing in the distance, and after being stunned, they immediately dispersed in panic.

    This team of cavalry was ragged, and the black uniforms were already mottled by the blood that had solidified into brown, and the original color could not be seen clearly.

    They are the scout cavalry under Li Lang's command of the Qinghe Army. They were ordered to scout the enemy's situation in this area.

    Seeing the people who had lost their hoes and fled in all directions, Liang Guanlin, who had been promoted to a hundred-man general, couldn't help but frowned.

    This weak scholar who was once powerless has undergone earth-shaking changes in the continuous fighting and fighting. There is less femininity and more toughness and sunshine.

    Liang Guanlin gestured behind him, and more than 20 taciturn cavalrymen in black rode their horses like lightning to outflank the fleeing civilians.

    In just a moment, the fleeing people were surrounded by black cavalry, and there was no escape.

    Seeing these black-clothed cavalrymen exuding a murderous look, the terrified common people knelt down and begged for mercy one by one, begging the rebels to give them a way out.

    In this chaotic world where human life is like nothing, unarmed people, whether they encounter the imperial army or the rebel army, are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, appearing weak and powerless.

    Liang Guanlin rode his horse forward slowly, and when he saw these people shaking like chaff, he tried to talk to them as pleasantly as possible.

    Liang Guanlin, a former frail scholar, has experienced battles in the army, and the killing intent he inadvertently reveals now makes people feel heavy pressure.

    "Everyone, get up, we are the Qinghe army, we will not kill innocent people indiscriminately." Liang Guanlin said slowly.

    "I beg the military master to spare us."

    "We can give you all our food and money."

    The common people kowtowed and begged for mercy, but turned a deaf ear to Liang Guanlin's words. They were indeed scared out of their wits.

    After all, in the propaganda of the local county government, the rebel army has been portrayed as a cold-blooded, ruthless, murderous demon, and the people are naturally afraid.

    Liang Guanlin's face turned cold when he saw that he spoke in a pleasant manner, so that these people did not respond at all.

    "You want to kneel, don't you? Then kneel, then I have to go to the village to see." Liang Guanlin threatened with a cold snort.

    Seeing that Liang Guanlin was angry, these people stood up in a hurry one by one, and stood there with lowered eyebrows, not daring to vent their breath.

    "What's the name of this place?"

    Liang Guanlin ignored these terrified people, and turned his eyes to a scrawny farmer.

    "Baisha, Baisha Village."

    This farmer was uncomfortable being stared at by Liang Guanlin, and he stuttered when he spoke.

    "Which town is under the jurisdiction?"

    "We are under the jurisdiction of Pingshun Town."

    After Liang Guanlin heard this, he took out a sheepskin map from a leather pouch on his waist, and looked at the map carefully.

    "It should be here."

    After Liang Guanlin asked again, he confirmed that this was the meeting place they agreed with Chen Ziang and the others.

    Liang Guanlin and his 20,000 people followed Li Lang to break through the Gyeonggi province first, but they were all infantry, and their movement speed was not as fast as that of the cavalry.

    They were chased and intercepted by the central and local armies of the dynasty. It can be said that they went through all kinds of hardships and almost wiped out the whole army.

    Because they didn't arrive at the meeting place agreed with Chen Ziang in time, they missed the meeting.

    ?They managed to get in touch with each other again after a series of fierce battles going around in various prefectures and counties in the middle of the province.Zi Ang them.

    It's just that Chen Zi'ang led the cavalry to lead the black cavalry away, and just let them break out to the south and then join them.

    After confirming that this is the meeting point, Liang Guanlin asked about the surrounding enemy situation and Chen Ziang's situation.

    After learning that they were the first rebel army to arrive here, Liang Guanlin judged that Chen Ziang and the others should not have arrived yet.

    After Liang Guanlin and the others did some investigation, they sent someone to report to Li Lang at the back, and Li Lang then led the main force to this area.

    Li Lang also learned a lot from the pitfalls. Because he led the army independently for the first time, when he was marching a few days ago, he was too anxious to march. There were too few scouts and rangers around, so he accidentally got into the river  An ambush set by the provincial governor.

    Fortunately, their 20,000 brothers have experienced the tempering of the flames of war, and their combat effectiveness is strong. Li Lang did not panic in the face of the crisis, so the entire army would not be wiped out.

    Now Li Lang has also learned his lesson, and now the main force is within the range of their scout rangers for a radius of 20 miles.

    For this reason, Li Lang specially added a lot of elite veterans to the scout team to improve the scout's detection ability.

    After receiving reports from various scout teams that there was no large-scale enemy situation around and it was safe, he led his troops to Baisha Village.

    Baisha Village is just a small village with a population of more than 200 people. Li Lang and the others only rested here for one night, and moved to Pingshun Town early the next morning.

    Pingshun Town only had a local garrison of more than a hundred people stationed there, and it was almost on the verge of collapse. Li Lang and the others easily occupied it.

    ?Compared to Baisha Village, which is short of clothing and food, the treasury of Pingshun Town has just collected tax and food, which is relatively richer, and finally gave them a warm meal.

    After they left the Gyeonggi Province, they have been fighting again and again. The original 20,000 brothers lost more than half in the battle with the governor's army of the Hezhong Province.

    Although he later recruited many prisoners to make up for the battle damage when he attacked the city all the way, but now his strength is only 15,000, which is not as large as before.

    And now the soldiers are exhausted, and they are too exhausted to stand the toss, and now they urgently need to rest.

    Chen Ziang and the others hadn't arrived yet. On the one hand, Li Lang ordered the troops to take time to rest in Pingshun Town, and at the same time sent out scouts to inquire about Chen Ziang's news, ready to respond at any time.

    In order to prevent Pingshun Town from being encircled by the imperial army knowing the location of this round, Li Lang sent his battalion general Tian Changjie to lead his troops to attack eastward.

    While battalion general Tian Changjie drew the enemy's attention eastward, he also broke through a county, seized a lot of grain and fodder, and transported it to Pingshun Town, solving the temporary food shortage crisis of the troops.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
