"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 294
The First Banner Battalion led by Fatty Lu galloped recklessly outside the capital city of Luyang Province. Many luxurious manors were reduced to ruins, and black smoke shot straight into the sky.
These luxurious manors are all the properties of some big families, and the governor of the province turned a blind eye. They can't just watch their properties be destroyed.
So they had to put pressure on the provincial governor to send troops out of the city to fight.
Many families are inextricably linked with important officials of the imperial court. What's more, many industries belong to important officials of the imperial court, but they are just taken care of by the clansmen.
Although the governor of the province is high and powerful, facing the pressure from the rich and powerful, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and send people out of the city to fight.
Because if he didn't send troops out of the city to make a show, he would have no way to explain to the rich and powerful families and their important officials who held important positions in the court.
The governor of the province sent out the only cavalry unit of their provincial garrison, a thousand cavalry out of the city.
Although Fatty Lu raided the periphery of the capital, he also sent people to watch every move in the provincial capital and surrounding areas.
Fatty Lu also sneered when he saw that a cavalry force of more than a thousand men dared to go out of the city.
"Pass me the order, the whole army is assembled!"
Fatty Lu has long been simmering with anger and has no place to vent it. Now that they dare to go out of the city, he will naturally go up to meet them.
Following Fatty Lu's order, the cavalry who were divided into good groups to attack and sweep everywhere quickly gathered together.
The thousands of provincial guard cavalry who left the city were just going out of the city to show off to the rich and powerful, so as to relieve the pressure on their governor.
After they left the city, they didn't dare to go far. They just planned to go back after wandering around the suburbs according to the plan.
But when they wandered around the outskirts of the city in fear, and were about to complete their mission and retreat back into the city, the situation changed.
"Master Qianjiang, look!"
Hearing the dense sound of horseshoes in the distance, a guard cavalry saw a black cloud pressing over and exclaimed.
The cavalry of the Provincial Guard looked along the sound, and when they saw the cavalry of the Qinghe Army coming over like a torrent, their complexions turned pale.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
Seeing the cavalry of the Qinghe Army approaching rapidly, there was a commotion among the cavalry of the provincial garrison, and the cavalry all looked flustered.
?Because the Qinghe Army has more people than them, and the Qinghe Army has a good reputation, they are timid before fighting.
"What else can I do, run!"
Although their thousand-man general really wanted to lead his troops to fight the Qinghe army, but he finally gritted his teeth and decided to take his men away because he hadn't lived enough.
After the thousand generals of the Provincial Guard finished speaking, they kicked the horse's belly with their legs and ran towards the provincial capital first.
Seeing that the chiefs of the family ran away first, the cavalry of the Provincial Guard did not dare to neglect, and they all rode their horses to follow.
"Damn, coward."
There are also some people in the Provincial Guard who want to make contributions. Seeing that General Qian led his team to escape, they couldn't help cursing.
"Run, save your life."
The provincial garrison cavalry were all running. Although there were some brave people who were unwilling, they had no choice but to flee back.
"It's really useless!"
Fatty Lu and the others rushed over, preparing to have a hearty fight with the provincial security forces.
Who knew that when the other party saw them just now, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and immediately ran away without face.
"Follow me!"
Naturally, Fatty Lu didn't want the cooked duck to fly away, so with an order, two thousand Qinghe troops swept away like a wind and clouds.
When the Qinghe army was in pursuit, more than a thousand cavalry led by Fatty Lu followed closely behind, while the other thousand cavalry split into two and surrounded them from the two wings, like a starving man who had seen fat. Like a wolf.
The war horses of the Qinghe Army are all captured horses from the regular troops of the imperial court, and they are also very cherished and well taken care of on weekdays.
Luyang Province itself does not produce military horses, and the horses of their thousand cavalry are all low-quality horses.
While the two sides were chasing and fleeing, the gap between the horses was quickly seen, because the horses of the provincial garrison could not run Qinghe at all.?? war horse.
Facing the pursuit and outflanking of the Qinghe Army, the cavalry of a thousand provincial garrison troops were quickly surrounded.
Facing the cavalry of the Qinghe Army who rushed forward with murderous aura around them, although they felt bitter in their hearts, they had to draw out their swords to fight.
There was no suspense in this battle. Facing the outflanking and penetration of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, with just one charge, the provincial garrison team was rushed to pieces, and then there was a one-sided massacre.
The purpose of the governor of the province sending these thousand cavalry is just to show off, to show the rich and powerful, and to relieve his pressure.
But who would have thought that these thousand cavalry would end up beating dogs with meat buns, never returning, and they were all wiped out by Fatty Lu and the others.
The only cavalry unit under the provincial governor's command was wiped out, and he was also in great pain.
And those rich and powerful families have also seen the powerful fighting power of the Qinghe army outside the city. Although it is a pity for the industries outside the city, they dare not force the governor anymore, because if the loss is too great, the city will not be able to defend.
Although Fatty Lu and the others won a small victory outside the city, annihilating more than a thousand provincial guard cavalry, they greatly deterred the defenders inside the city.
Until Chen Ziang led the main force of the Qinghe Army to the outside of the provincial capital, the defenders in the city couldn't shrink back no matter how provocative and cursed Fatty Lu was.
Fatty Lu and the others only had two thousand cavalry. Although they won the support of the people outside the city, they could not do anything about the capital with its high walls and thick walls.
Chen Ziang led his troops to the outside of the capital city of Luyang Province. Although there were only tens of thousands of people, but looking around, it was a large area full of banners and banners.
Seeing the main force of the Qinghe Army outside the city arrived, the people in the city were even more panicked. All the young and strong were sent to the city wall to help defend the city.
"General, there are only more than 20,000 troops in the city, and the combat power is not strong. I have asked the people to help build a lot of ladders, and we can attack the city tomorrow."
Fatty Lu arrived here first, but he also did a lot of work, destroying many large manors outside the city, winning the support of the people, and at the same time making preparations for the infantry to attack the city.
"No rush, no hurry, just surround this place."
Facing Fatty Lu and others who were full of fighting spirit, Chen Ziang was not in a hurry to attack the provincial capital.
"General, the imperial army will arrive soon. If we can't capture this place before the imperial army arrives, we will be attacked"
"I know."
"Then why not attack the city immediately?"
"The city has already been prepared. In addition, the city is high and the walls are thick. If we attack the city rashly, it will cause unnecessary losses to the brothers."
"The purpose of our war should not care about the loss of a city or a place, but should focus on destroying the enemy's vital strength."
"What do you mean, General?"
Chen Ziang said with a smile: "Besiege the city and fight for aid." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
