    Five thousand soldiers of the Qinghe Army aggressively attacked the Yingzui Peak Pass, but now they are like a bereaved dog, leaving countless corpses behind and collapsed in embarrassment.

    The Qinghe Army soldiers of the First Banner Regiment, the Ninth Banner Regiment and the Twelfth Banner Regiment that lined up outside the mountain pass all had extremely ugly faces.

    Especially Zhou Ba, the head of the First Banner, gritted his teeth, with a look of hatred for iron, wishing to give Wang Mingyang, the battalion commander of the First Banner, a few lashes to vent his anger.

    Now Chen Ziang's Second Qinghe Army Corps is quite united internally, but they are also faintly competing with each other.

    The Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry was from the Old Ninth Battalion, which was the direct line of Chen Ziang's lineage. After successively reorganizing the Black Cavalry troops, the number of cavalrymen reached more than 45,000, and their combat effectiveness was even stronger.

    Although the First Banner Regiment of the Infantry was formed on the way to the north, it is not as good as the direct line unit of the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry, but it is also the infantry banner regiment with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Second Army, and it can be regarded as the main force.

    The brothers of the 1st Banner Regiment of the Infantry are all rebellious. After all, compared to the 12th Banner Regiment of the Infantry formed later, they can be regarded as the big brothers.

    But now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the First Banner Regiment, which has always claimed to be the strongest infantry banner regiment, has been defeated by the enemy.

    Seeing the defeated soldiers of the First Banner Battalion, not only the head of the First Banner, Zhou Ba, had a dull face, but also the faces of the other banner battalions were solemn.

    "General, the combat effectiveness of the 20th Corps of the People's Army is not weak."

    Compared with the brothers of the First Banner Regiment who were angry in their hearts, the expressions of the regiment leader Chen Ziang and the others did not change at all.

    After all, Chen Ziang and Li Lang are in high positions, and they are not concerned about temporary gains and losses, but a bigger picture.

    "The strength of the enemy army is not strong, but the brothers of the First Banner Regiment underestimated the enemy."

    Chen Ziang made such comments after hearing the words of Yuan Jie, the deputy army commander.

    Li Lang, the deputy head of the regiment, also nodded: "It's good to let them stumble. Relying on their status as the number one banner regiment, they claim to be the number one in foot combat, and now they don't take anyone seriously."

    "Do you want me to put some pressure on them?" Li Lang turned to ask Chen Ziang.

    Chen Ziang shook his head: "Let them deal with it themselves. Wherever they fall, they should get up from there."

    "Seeing that this battle won't be over for a while, order the troops to set up camp." Chen Zi'ang ordered.

    "No!"

    Chen Ziang and the others have been marching south since they left the provincial capital, so the troops are also exhausted.

    Now seeing that the militiamen have deployed heavy troops at the pass of Yingzui Peak, and they cannot attack in a short time, Chen Ziang decided to take the opportunity to let the troops rest for a while.

    Following Chen Zi'ang's order, apart from the First Banner Regiment at the front and the 5,000 cavalry troops in Luezhen, all the troops quickly set up camp and got busy.

    At this moment, the troops of the First Banner Battalion of the First Banner Regiment also collapsed at the mountain pass. Their faces were panicked and covered in blood, and they looked horrible.

    There are a large number of Qinghe army troops outside the mountain pass, so the civilian army who had won a small victory did not dare to chase them out. They stopped chasing after regaining the line of defense.

    "Call!"

    "Call!"

    The militia soldiers who had won the battle crowded the mountain pass. They held up their weapons and cheered loudly, their morale was high.

    "Report the victory to my father. Our department has repelled the first wave of attack by the bandit army and killed thousands of enemies."

    General Qin Yun let out a long sigh of relief, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

    The Qinghe army is so famous, even though he said he was not afraid, he was still somewhat afraid of the Qinghe army in his heart.

    Especially just now that the Qinghe army broke through their first line of defense with lightning speed, which made him think that their mountain pass could not be defended.

    Fortunately, their second line of defense, a deep formation of 5,000 soldiers, forcibly blocked the Qinghe army's attack and launched an effective counterattack.

    "The bandit army probably won't give up if they rush to repair the fortifications quickly."

    While sending people to report victory to his father Qin Chuan, Qin Yun also ordered his troops to come back to clean up the battlefield and rush to repair the fortifications.

    When the civilian army in the mountain pass was full of joy, the first banner regiment of the Qinghe Army had a dignified atmosphere, and Zhou Ba, the leader of the banner regiment, was even more dark-faced and in a terrible mood.

    He originally wanted to show his face in front of the brothers' troops, and stormed down the mountain pass in one go, but who knew he lost face, how could he not be angry.

      "Master Banner Leader, you, punish me."

    The disheartened First Banner Battalion Commander Wang Mingyang walked up to Zhou Ba, looking extremely depressed.

    Zhou Ba, the head of the banner group, wished he could whip him a few times to vent his anger.

    But now he is the head of the banner, and Wang Mingyang's performance on weekdays is also good, he forcibly suppressed the urge to beat people back.

    "Go to the back and reflect on yourself. If there is another time, you don't want to come back. I can't afford to lose that person!"

    Zhou Ba scolded Wang Mingyang, the commander of the Banner Battalion, and told him to roll back to reflect.

    "What are you still doing, get out!"

    Banner Commander Zhou Ba's temper was so violent that Wang Mingyang thought he had lost the battle. Even if his head was not beheaded, he might not be able to keep his position as Banner Battalion Commander, and he might have to be severely punished.

    But who knew that Zhou Ba changed his previous style and only reprimanded him a few words, which made Wang Mingyang feel surprised and at the same time grateful to Zhou Ba.

    Now that the First Banner Battalion has lost the battle, although Zhou Ba wants to punish Wang Mingyang severely, he also knows that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Chen Ziang spared him at the beginning, but now that he is the head of the banner, how can he be so petty.

    Moreover, all battles have been lost. If Wang Mingyang is dismissed again, the First Banner Battalion will lose the commander of the Banner Battalion. Their morale is already low, and it may be difficult for them to fight again.

    Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, Zhou Ba did not dismiss Wang Mingyang, but gave him a chance to realize his shame and be brave.

    After Wang Mingyang gratefully gave a military salute to the banner commander Zhou Ba, he strode over to collect his defeated troops in the banner battalion.

    "Master Banner, what should we do now?"

    ? Their First Banner Battalion was defeated, and the regiment leader Chen Zi'ang didn't respond at all, which made the monk of the First Banner Regiment, who was also Zhang Er, puzzled.

    "If there is no order from the general, then the mission of our First Banner Regiment will remain the same!"

    Zhou Ba saw other troops setting up camp in the distance. After thinking about it, he felt that Chen Ziang had given them a chance for the First Banner Regiment, otherwise, he would have replaced them.

    "Liu Changshan!"

    "The end is here!"

    "Continue to attack!"

    "No!"

    When the civilian army inside the mountain pass was happily cleaning the battlefield, suddenly there was another passionate horn sounding outside the mountain pass.

    The 5,000 soldiers of the Second Banner Battalion of the First Banner Regiment led by Liu Changshan took sonorous and forceful steps, and in an offensive formation, pressed up again towards the mountain pass full of corpses.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
