    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 293

    "Drive!"

    "Drive!"

    On the official road of Luyang Province, several dusty cavalrymen in gray clothes were galloping on horses, and the horseshoes raised a large cloud of smoke and dust.

    These grey-clothed cavalry belonged to the provincial garrison under the command of the Governor of Luyang Province, and now they have important enemy situations to report to the Governor.

    "Urgent military situation, open the door!"

    Soon, several cavalrymen covered in sweat and dust arrived at the capital of Luyang Province, and shouted loudly from a long distance away.

    "It's my own, open the door."

    Seeing that these cavalrymen were all dressed as soldiers of the Provincial Guard, the city guard waved his hand and ordered the city gate to be opened.

    After all, there are only such a few people, even if they are enemies, they can't make any waves.

    The gate of the provincial capital slowly opened with the creaking sound of the winch, and several gray cavalry rushed in.

    There are quite a few vendors on both sides of the streets of the capital who are selling things. Facing the galloping cavalry, they can't dodge in time, making them jump for a while.

    Many pedestrians and goods were hit, and seeing the gray cavalry rampaging on the street, they cursed again and again.

    However, the cavalry of these provincial garrison troops had long been used to being arrogant, and they simply ignored the curses behind them, and they went straight to the governor's mansion.

    The Governor's Mansion was heavily guarded, but they didn't dare to force their way in. After getting off their horses, they threatened that there was an emergency situation, and then waited outside the Governor's Mansion.

    The Governor of Luyang Province was having a meal, but when he heard about the urgent military situation, he didn't dare to neglect, and called someone to call in a few cavalrymen.

    "My lord, the bandit Chen Ziang's troops have left Lujiang Mansion and are heading towards our provincial capital. Kaihe City was breached yesterday"

    The panting cavalry reported the news they had received to the fat Governor at a fast speed.

    After hearing the cavalry's report, the governor was also shocked and speechless for a long time.

    Thinking of the overwhelming rebel army coming towards the provincial governor's mansion, the governor couldn't help but shudder.

    "Quick, go and close the four doors, and everyone goes to the city to garrison."

    "By the way, let the surrounding prefectures and counties quickly gather in the capital to fight against the bandit army."

    Thinking of the Qinghe army heading straight for the provincial capital, the governor's first consideration was his own safety.

    "No!"

    In a panic, the governor of the province hurriedly issued an order, and the orderly rushed out quickly.

    "By the way, where is the army of the son-in-law?"

    Hearing that Chen Zi'ang's troops were approaching, the governor of the province was not in the mood to continue eating, and seemed a little restless.

    "My lord, the vanguard of the son-in-law has entered the territory of our Luyang province."

    "Send a quick horse and tell the son-in-law that the bandit army is coming to the capital of the province, please come and suppress it quickly."

    Now the imperial court sent a 100,000-strong army led by son-in-law Yue Jinsong to encircle and suppress the Qinghe army, so the governor of the province is now counting on these troops from the imperial court.

    ?Because the garrison troops in their province were starved of wages, coupled with the fact that their father died and their children were neglected, and their combat effectiveness was weak. He didn't think he was Chen Ziang's opponent.

    Because they learned that the Qinghe army was heading straight for the provincial capital, the streets were filled with panic-stricken soldiers, and the rich and powerful families were also uneasy, so they hurriedly sent people to move the belongings of the manor outside the city into the city.

    The Qinghe Army led by Chen Zi'ang is too influential, and now court officials everywhere are ashamed of hearing about it.

    Although the Qinghe army hadn't reached the provincial capital yet, the governor himself panicked, causing the whole city to be filled with an atmosphere of panic.

    ? When the provincial capital was facing an enemy and the atmosphere was tense, the First Banner Battalion of the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army appeared on the outskirts of the city, further exacerbating the panic.

    As the vanguard of the First Banner Battalion of the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army, they carried five days of dry food and rushed forward lightly, so they arrived at the outskirts of the provincial capital first.

    Because their speed was too fast, the main force of the Qinghe Army was still two hundred miles away, and they had already reached the outskirts of the provincial capital.

    The banner battalion commander of the First Banner Battalion of the Ninth Banner Regiment is Fatty Lu, the former banner commander who was demoted because of his defeat.

    Fatty Lu not only suffered a loss last time, losing nearly a thousand brothers, but was also demoted.It's over, I've been feeling flustered in my heart.

    When Chen Ziang and the others were busy in Lujiang Mansion, Fatty Lu could only lie down because of his injury, which suffocated him.

    Although the injury has not healed now, he still can't help but apply to Chen Ziang, and returned to the battlefield. He has to avenge, avenge those brothers who died, and at the same time save the face of their Ninth Banner Regiment.

    Their first banner battalion should be full of 5,000 cavalry, but now they lack horses and soldiers, so there are only more than 2,000 people.

    ?The mission of their First Banner Battalion is to detect the enemy's situation and deter the imperial courts and counties everywhere, so siege operations are not their main purpose.

    Therefore, they walked around the town along the way, rushing towards the provincial capital, and sending a steady stream of information back to the main force behind.

    Now they left the large army far behind, and arrived at the outskirts of Luyang Province first.

    The defenders of Luyang Province did not expect that the speed of the Qinghe Army was so fast that they had only left Lujiang Mansion before arriving at the provincial capital.

    "Don't they have wings?"

    While the governor of the province was cursing, he also hurriedly dispatched troops to the city to prepare for battle.

    Although Fatty Lu and the others rushed forward lightly, they were not arrogant enough to attack the city with two thousand cavalry.

    Fatty Lu suppressed his urge to attack the city, and turned his attention to the manors of the rich and powerful families outside the city.

    Because they heard that the Qinghe army was coming, the rich and powerful families were busy moving their property and food outside the city into the city.

    But they didn't expect the speed of the Qinghe army to be so fast that they were still moving, and the Qinghe army arrived.

    Fatty Lu's eyes lit up when he saw the convoys carrying property and food, like hungry wolves that had seen food on the grassland.

    "Give them all to me!"

    Following Fatty Lu's order, two thousand cavalrymen headed towards those convoys like a whirlwind.

    Although the rich and powerful families also have their own guards, and their strength is not weak.

    However, facing the Qinghe Army Qingqi who came and went like the wind, they had to be beaten passively. They were either defeated or wiped out, and all their property and food fell into the hands of the Qinghe Army.

    Fatty Lu didn't have so many troops to take care of these things, so he sent people to the surrounding villages and towns to pass orders to let the people get them by themselves, and counted as much as they could get.

    Although Fatty Lu's order was a bit rough, the people who were struggling in dire straits had also heard that the Qinghe Army distributed food, so in order to have food to survive, they came to distribute food one after another.

    After the people took the food from the Qinghe Army, they naturally began to lean towards the Qinghe Army in their hearts, and they all told what they knew about the situation in the capital city of Luyang Province, so that Fatty Lu got a lot of information.

    Fatty Lu led the cavalry to attack and sweep around outside the provincial capital. The manors of the rich and powerful families suffered disasters one after another, destroyed and burned, and black smoke billowed outside the city.

    However, the governor of Luyang Province did not dare to send troops out of the city to fight, because he was afraid of the strength of the Qinghe army, so he dared to hide in the city like a turtle, watching the Qinghe army galloping outside the city.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
