    "Quick, speed up!"

    The official road in Jiangbei Province was billowing with smoke and dust, and the dusty cavalry in black were rushing forward on horseback.

    The Qinghe Army cavalry officers with dusty faces kept urging the army to speed up, and the army swept across towns like a torrent.

    The 13th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Cavalry, led by the head of the banner, Lei Ming, rushed forward and captured several towns every day.

    The news of the defeat on the front line has already spread, officials from all over the dynasty are also panicked, and the common people are even more panicked all day long.

    Facing the sweeping cavalry of the Qinghe Army, the defenders everywhere were almost defeated at the first touch, and they could not stop the Qinghe Army at all.

    The rich and powerful families from all over the country did not expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly, and they packed up their belongings and fled to the provincial capital.

    For a while, the official road leading to the provincial capital was overcrowded. The carriages piled up with belongings and the surging crowd crowded the road.

    After all, in the propaganda of all levels of government in Jiangbei Province, the Qinghe Army is a heinous image.

    Therefore, when they heard that the Qinghe army was coming, no matter whether they were ordinary people or rich and nobles, they were all frightened and fled to places they thought were safe.

    Everyone was crowded on the provincial highway, causing the team to move slowly, and the cavalry of the Qinghe Army quickly caught up.

    "The thief army is coming!"

    There were terrified screams from behind the team, and the congested provincial highway was suddenly enveloped in panic.

    "Run away."

    "The thieves are coming!"

    The crowds crowded on the provincial highway fled in panic, cursing and scolding intertwined for a while, creating chaos.

    Facing the cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army rolling in from behind, many people fled in a panic to the surrounding fields, ravines and forests in order to survive, all over the mountains and plains.

    Those rich and nobles from all over the place also didn't care about their own image, and fled in all directions in the chaos, in a panic.

    "Master Banner, there are many dynasty stragglers among the fleeing crowd, do you want to chase them down?!"

    Some cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army saw that many local garrison soldiers of the dynasty who were still in shock mixed with the fleeing crowd, rode their horses to catch up with Lei Ming, the head of the banner, and asked for instructions loudly.

    "Ignore them and go full speed ahead!"

    The 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry led by Lei Ming, the head of the banner regiment, failed to participate in the battle to eliminate the 20th Corps of the Qin Family.

    The order given to them by the Chief of Staff was to outflank the rear of the 20th Corps of the Civilian Army, but the 20th Corps of the Civilian Army was destroyed too quickly, and they had no chance to take action.

    Now the latest order they have received is to take down more towns as quickly as possible before the militia garrisons in various places can react.

    The Qinghe Army has now grown to more than 100,000 troops, and Yunxi Mansion alone cannot support such a large army.

    The 20th Corps of the People's Army was destroyed, and now the defenses in Jiangbei Province are weak, which is tantamount to no defense.

    Chen Ziang was naturally unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to expand his territory, so he ordered the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry to wipe out the defenders in various places as quickly as possible, and planted the battle flags in every city.

    The Thirteenth Banner Regiment watched the friendly troops make meritorious deeds on the battlefield in the early battle, but they failed to win the battle.

    They had been holding their breath for a long time, so after receiving Chen Zi'ang's military order, they rushed forward violently, defeating the garrison troops everywhere.

    Facing the defeated local defense teams, the Thirteenth Banner Regiment didn't even have time to pay attention to those defeated soldiers in order to save time and speed.

    The Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry showed its speed to the fullest. After the fall of many counties, the messengers sent by local officials were not even as fast as the cavalry of the Qinghe Army.

    Many towns just learned that the cavalry of the Qinghe Army had pounced on them, and before they closed the city gates to defend the city, the cavalry had already entered the city at lightning speed, and the town fell quickly.

    Some of the fallen towns sent messengers to report to the governor of the province, but the places where the messengers passed along the way were in a mess, and the cavalry of the Qinghe army had already rushed in front of him.

    "Don't pay attention to the rout!"

    "Don't care about the flanks!"

    "Our task is to advance, and then to advance!"

    The Thirteenth Banner Cavalry Regiment led by Lei Ming rushed all the way, killing the garrison troops everywhere.

    Some relatively strong county towns along the way had more defenders. When the cavalry led by Lei Ming arrived, the cities were already in full battle.

      Lei Ming did not order the cavalry to attack these fortified towns, but directly led the army to bypass and continue to advance.

    Although Lei Ming and the others went deep alone, the only thing that could threaten them in Jiangbei Province was the Provincial Guard directly under Governor Xu Zhenxiong with tens of thousands of soldiers.

    Moreover, these provincial garrison troops are all infantry, and Lei Ming's 13th Banner Regiment has a full 20,000 light cavalry, so he has no fear at all.

    The Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry led by Lei Ming advanced rapidly at the speed of capturing five or six towns a day. Behind them, the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry took another path, also rapidly attacking cities and land.

    Chen Ziang gave full play to the high maneuverability of the cavalry, and quickly seized a large number of areas in Jiangbei Province.

    The cavalry troop rushed forward, smashing and annihilating the defenders everywhere with a destructive posture.

    The Qinghe Army Infantry First Banner Regiment and Infantry Twelfth Banner Regiment were responsible for cleaning up the mess and carrying out the actual occupation.

    Although King Ning sent his son Long Jun to Jiangbei Province to grab territory as soon as he learned of the collapse of Qin Feng's 20th Corps.

    However, Long Jun only had 5,000 cavalry under his command, and because they entered Jiangbei Province without official documents, they encountered resistance from many towns.

    Although Long Jun ordered to kill any towns that dared to block their advance, their marching speed was greatly affected due to the conflicts everywhere.

    When the mighty army led by Long Jun occupied one prefecture and three counties in Jiangbei Province, the Qinghe Army had already occupied eight prefectures and more than twenty counties.

    There are only eleven prefectures in Jiangbei Province, and the Qinghe Army has seized most of them in a short period of time.

    Facing the competition between King Ning's mighty army and Chen Zi'ang's Qinghe army, Xu Zhenxiong, the governor of Jiangbei Province, was also quite helpless. He could only hide in the provincial capital, and he didn't even dare to send troops to stop him.

    ?Because he couldn't offend King Ning, nor could he defeat the Qinghe Army, so he could only defend himself in the city.

    Although Xu Zhenxiong, governor of the province, wants to protect himself from the city, sometimes the idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

    Xu Yong, the only remaining deputy general of the 20th Corps of the People's Army, will not let Governor Xu Zhenxiong get his wish.

    He has already led more than 30,000 people including the rout soldiers and local garrison troops collected along the way, and headed straight for the provincial capital.

    Xu Yong and the Qinghe Army had reached a tacit understanding, so the cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army who were grabbing territory everywhere turned a blind eye to Xu Yong's troops and did not attack them.

    Therefore, on the fourth day when the troops of the 13th Cavalry Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army arrived at the outskirts of the capital of Jiangbei Province, Xu Yong also brought his more than 30,000 people to the provincial capital after "hardships".  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
