    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 307

    "Ang woo¡ª¡ª"

    The majestic sound of the horn broke the tranquility of the morning, and also awakened the drowsy soldiers of the Dynasty Provincial Guard.

    "what happened?"

    "Where is the horn sounding?"

    On the head of the capital of Luyang Province, the soldiers of the garrison who were dozing off heard the sound of the horn, and stood up from the leeward corners one after another, looking around.

    "Look quickly!"

    Soon, some dynasty soldiers pointed to the distant horizon and shouted loudly.

    The sleepy-eyed soldiers of the dynasty looked towards the direction of the soldier's finger one after another, and saw the banners waving in the distance, and the black army formation was slowly approaching.

    Seeing the army pouring out of the horizon in the distance, the dynasty soldiers guarding the city wall took a breath.

    Although the Qinghe Army besieged the capital of Luyang Province, they never attacked the city, and only sent rangers to block the various passages.

    But now that the dark army in the distance is approaching, the dynasty defenders, who have been relaxed for a few days, realize that the Qinghe army is about to attack the city.

    "Hurry up and report to the governor, the bandit army is about to attack the city!"

    A dynasty officer quickly reacted and shouted loudly.

    In just a moment, harsh sirens sounded over the capital city of the province.

    At the same time, under the urging of officers at all levels, groups of disheveled dynasty guard soldiers rushed to the city.

    Surrounded by a group of officials with flustered faces, the governor of Luyang Province also boarded the tower. Seeing the dense army outside the city, he also felt his scalp tingle.

    "Where are our reinforcements?" After calming down, the provincial governor asked.

    "Your Excellency, our reinforcements from various prefectures and counties have been intercepted and killed by bandit troops outside the city in the past few days, but they have not been able to break in. Now their lives and deaths are unknown." An official replied.

    The prefectures and counties under the province sent many people to reinforce them, but they were caught by Chen Ziang's strategy of besieging the city and fighting for reinforcements.

    These reinforcements became the targets of the key attack. They were either raided or ambushed, and many of them were wiped out halfway, while the governor of the province was still in the dark.

    "What about the army of the son-in-law?"

    Hearing that the reinforcements from various prefectures and counties were intercepted, the governor had no choice but to rely on the 100,000 troops of the son-in-law.

    "Your Excellency, we have sent several messengers, but all of them have disappeared without any news."

    "Should we send another messenger?"

    "Send, why not send, if the consort's troops don't arrive, the capital may fall into the hands of the bandits."

    The governor of the province really didn't have much confidence in the combat effectiveness of the provincial garrison under his command, that's why he said such frustrating words.

    "My lord, I don't know when the son-in-law's troops will arrive. What we need now is to overcome the current difficulties." The deputy general of the provincial security had to remind.

    "Our provincial garrison has 20,000 troops, how can it last for a few days?" The governor turned his attention to the deputy general of the provincial garrison.

    The lieutenant-general of the guard sighed: "My lord, relying on our strength alone, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it. After all, we can't support it alone."

    Although there are indeed nearly 20,000 Provincial Guard soldiers on their roster, the deputy general is actually very clear.

    ?The officers of the provincial garrison at all levels are paid empty-handed, falsely registered, plus many deserters, and now there are only a little more than 10,000 who can go to the city to fight.

    Moreover, the soldiers of their provincial garrison are all descended from father to son, and the military discipline is lax, and they have no combat effectiveness.

    But he didn't dare to say these things, he could only say that he couldn't support himself alone, and hoped that the governor would think of a way.

    The governor of the province is not a fool, but now his life and countless properties in the city are at stake.

    Once the provincial capital falls, not only will his life be lost, but the countless wealth he has accumulated will also benefit the bandits outside the city.

    "A few days ago, didn't you ask you to call the big households in the city and the private soldiers of the nobles to help in the battle, and pull them all up. If the city is broken, everyone will not be able to please." The governor of the province said.

    "No, I'll do it now."

    With the governor of the province speaking, a lieutenant also felt a lot more at ease.

    ? Although the combat effectiveness of their provincial garrison is vulnerable, the families of the rich and nobleThe combat effectiveness of soldiers is not weak.

    Because these family soldiers are protecting their personal and property safety, they are equipped with the best weapons, paid well, trained well, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not weak.

    When the newly formed 12th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army was arrayed outside the city, and Han Feng, the head of the banner regiment, was setting up siege missions, the city was also busy.

    The servants and private soldiers of the rich and nobles also quickly assembled, and then drove to the top of the city to help in the battle.

    At the same time, tens of thousands of young men were urgently recruited in the city to help carry thunder stones, logs, arrows, etc.

    The cloud of war hangs over the provincial capital, and the tense atmosphere before the war is permeated inside and outside the city.

    Chen Ziang, commander of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army, and Li Lang, deputy commander of the army, also went to the capital of the province in person.

    It's just that Chen Ziang and the others did not participate in the siege this time, but watched the battle as bystanders.

    Han Feng's Black Mountain Army and Lei Ming's Black Cavalry Army have just joined them, although everyone is called brothers at the wine table.

    But in this turbulent age, if you want to gain mutual trust, you have to get some certificates.

    So this attack on the provincial capital can be regarded as a test for Chen Ziang to the Black Mountain Army and the Black Cavalry Army.

    ?The newly formed Twelfth Banner Regiment has a full strength of 20,000 troops, which is not a force to be underestimated.

    It's just that they had just joined the Qinghe army, and the Qinghe army didn't have so many military uniforms ready for them. They were still wearing the mottled coarse clothes before, which looked like a rabble.

    Surrounded by four banner battalion commanders, Han Feng, the new banner commander, looked at the city leaders who were waiting in full force, with a serious expression on his face.

    "Brothers, General Chen and other Qinghe Army brothers are watching us. Whether we can gain a foothold in the Qinghe Army in the future, and whether our parents, wives and children can have enough food depends on our battle today."

    "Fight well, play the prestige of our twelfth flag regiment, everyone will respect us in the future, if we lose, then I'm afraid life will be difficult in the future, so you should know how to do it."

    Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner Regiment, glanced over the faces of the four confidant banner battalion commanders, and he gave them an order to fight to the death.

    "Brother, don't worry, brothers know what to do. In order to make the brothers of the Qinghe Army think highly of us and give us a bite to eat, even if we risk our lives, we must fight a good battle!" The banner battalion commanders also knew that  their situation.

    ? Their Montenegrin army looks strong and strong, but they are dragging their families, and they often eat the last meal without the next meal.

    Now that the famous Qinghe army is willing to take them in, so that they will not have to worry about food and drink in the future, they will naturally have to show their skills.

    "Old rules, go prepare, attack the city in half a quarter of an hour!"

    Han Feng, the head of the banner regiment, didn't say much. After giving an order, the four banner battalion commanders quickly rode back to their troops and started mobilizing and preparing for the battle.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
