    In the dark night, there were soaring flames everywhere, and a cavalry in black with a murderous look leaped out of the darkness, unstoppable.

    The civilian army's heavy troops scattered on both sides of the provincial road were like a mess of scattered sand. Many even just drew their weapons, and the cavalry of the Qinghe army, like a whirlwind, had already rushed to them.

    After a clash of clanging weapons and the dull sound of sharp knives piercing flesh, the resistance was quickly destroyed, leaving corpses everywhere.

    "Burn all the food and grass!"

    Seeing the mountain of grain and grass, the cavalry officer of the Qinghe Army, covered in blood and flesh, coldly gave the order to destroy it.

    The torches were thrown on the grain and grass covered with oilcloth, and with a bang, the flames shot up, and the piles of grain and grass quickly ignited raging flames.

    Under the blazing flames, groups of sharp-eyed Qinghe army cavalry quickly passed by and rushed towards the civilian army's heavy troops in the distance.

    The cavalry of the Qinghe Army suddenly appeared like ghosts, and the unsuspecting militia supply troops were caught off guard.

    "We surrender, we surrender!"

    The militia heavy soldiers of the brigade threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.

    These heavy soldiers are old men and young men with weak physical strength, and the strong ones have been added to the combat troops.

    These heavy soldiers of the civilian army were conscripted by Xiaoqi General Qin Feng from various places. Under the pressure of swords, they had to work for the Qin family.

    Now facing the critical moment of life and death, no one is willing to throw their lives in this strange wilderness, and they throw away their weapons and surrender one after another.

    While cursing loudly, those civilian army officers fled one by one, fearing that they would become the ghosts of the cavalry of the Qinghe army.

    In the darkness, there were galloping cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army everywhere, screaming and begging for mercy everywhere.

    Under the fierce offensive of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, the supply troops of the civilian army were defeated without even forming an effective resistance.

    When it was dawn, along the provincial highway for a distance of more than ten miles, there were black smoke columns going straight into the sky everywhere.

    Those militia military garrisons camped in villages and fields have become smoky ruins.

    Countless broken weapons and frozen corpses were scattered everywhere, and the piles of food and grass had been burned to ashes.

    The raid of the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Cavalry achieved a great victory. They completely destroyed the logistics and supply units of the militia.

    The scene of the camp of the civilian army's supply troops was also horrible. Apart from a large number of captured soldiers, countless people died in battle, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and burnt.

    "The First Banner Battalion sent two thousand-man teams to detain prisoners of war, and the rest of the banner regiments immediately buried their pots and made food, and we will move eastward later!"

    Fatty Lu, head of the banner, put away his bleeding lance, and was extremely satisfied when he saw the mess on both sides of the provincial road.

    The task given to him by the deputy head of the army was to destroy the logistics and supply units of the militia. He thought that the militia would send powerful combat troops to guard the supplies.

    However, the combat troops of the civilian army are now rushing to the Moanhe battlefield, wanting to find the main force of the Qinghe army for a decisive battle.

    Therefore, there were no guarding combat troops around the supply troops of the civilian army, which led to them succeeding in one blow.

    After destroying the logistics and supply units of the civilian army, Fatty Lu quickly set his sights on the guards of the civilian army's combat troops.

    The two infantry flag regiments led by Li Lang, the deputy commander of the army, are already standing in front of the battle. Now he needs to lead the cavalry unit to go up the buttocks of the main force of the militia and cut off the retreat of the main force of the militia.

    The brothers from the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry of the Qinghe Army had just won a battle, and they were full of energy and fighting spirit.

    After a short rest to replenish their strength, they, led by Lu Fatzi, the head of the banner, quickly followed the direction in which the main force of the militia was advancing, and chased after them.

    Because the troops of the People's Army are marching towards the Moaning River in a hurry, they all want to rush to the Moaning River as soon as possible to participate in the battle in order to gain meritorious service.

    The sons of the Qin family also shouted loudly that they only need soldiers who can keep up with the team, not those who are alone.

    As a result, a large number of militia soldiers fell behind in the rapid march day and night, falling far behind.

    Although all the troops sent officers to take in, due to reasons such as physical strength, they rushed too slowly, but they still couldn't catch up with the main force.

    ? When a small unit of the militia that is alone is going alongAs they marched east along the provincial highway, a brigade of cavalry from the Qinghe Army appeared behind them.

    "what is that?"

    When they heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes behind them, they all stopped and set up awnings to look into the distance.

    "Wolf flag, it's the bandit army, the bandit army is coming!"

    When they saw the black hungry wolf battle flag, the expression of these solitary militia stragglers and small troops suddenly changed, and they ran away one after another.

    The infantry did not have an advantage in the face of the cavalry, not to mention that now that a large number of cavalry troops are killed, whoever does not run is a fool.

    The stragglers of the civilian army who were alone drilled the ditch, ran to the woods, and fled in all directions in a panic, with panic on their faces.

    But how can the legs run over the four hooves? The cavalrymen leaned on their horses in a fighting posture, and the reflection of the sabers and lances in their hands was particularly dazzling in the sun.

    The cavalry passed by like a whirlwind, leaving countless mutilated corpses behind them, and blood flowed out along the blood holes, staining the ground red.

    Facing the powerful cavalry troops, the militia stragglers and small groups of troops who landed became the targets of massacres, and fell in pieces under the cavalry's swords and lances.

    The battles in every place happened suddenly, and then ended quickly. The cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield, and then quickly moved eastward again.

    Countless stragglers and small units of the militia disappeared for no reason, and their logistics and supply units did not follow up for a long time, which aroused the vigilance of the militia rear guard.

    Xiaoqi General Qin Feng sent a cavalry of dozens of people back to urge the logistics, but these dozens of cavalry were like disappearing into the sea and never returned.

    "General, I suspect that there are rebel troops behind us."

    In the past, when they camped at night, the stragglers who fell behind during the day would catch up and join them.

    Now not only did they lose contact with the supply troops behind them, but the stragglers who fell behind were also missing, which made the staff feel that something was wrong.

    "It must be a small group of bandit troops playing tricks behind the scenes, trying to delay us from rushing to the Moaning River."

    Facing the warning from his staff, General Qin Feng of Xiaoqi didn't care at all. His eyes are now fixed on the Moaning River, and he doesn't care about what happened behind him at all.

    "Let the eighth battalion turn around and go back to meet the supply troops, and the rest of the troops will continue to advance."

    Qin Feng felt that what appeared behind them was just a small unit of the Qinghe Army, which cut off their connection with the supply unit, so he sent a battalion of 5,000 infantry to turn around and go back to meet them, while the large army continued to advance eastward.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
