"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 544
"Where did they come from?!"
In front of the array of Imperial Guards, the left general sitting on horseback straightened up.
His eyes were fixed on the surging cavalry from the north, his face was full of shock.
They are here to besiege the remnants of the Fourth Prince in Black Rock City, and they are about to complete the battle. Who knows that there will be a sudden change on the battlefield.
"Master Zuo, looking at the battle flag, it looks like the Northern Army!" A general set up an awning and looked at the back.
General Zuo frowned and said, "Why didn't they contact you in advance?"
The northern army is the frontier army guarding the northern border, and its combat effectiveness is strong.
General Zuo also knew that the prince sent someone to contact the northern army, asking them to go south to attack the fourth prince.
The Northern Army has been procrastinating and deliberately delaying the time. General Zuo of the Imperial Guard thought they would not come.
Now facing the sudden appearance of the Northern Army on the battlefield, the generals are quite dissatisfied.
"Huh, if you don't come when you are working hard, you can run fast picking peaches!" A general of the Imperial Guard snorted coldly.
Their imperial guards fought more than a dozen battles with the supporters of the fourth prince. Although they won consecutive victories, they also lost a lot.
Now their imperial guards have surrounded the troops supporting the fourth prince in Black Rock City, and they are about to win, but the northern army unexpectedly ran out at this time.
"General Zuo, something seems wrong."
When some generals were complaining about the northern army's robbing the army, a Janissary general stared into the distance with a solemn expression.
General Zuo and others looked up and found that in front of a large number of northern troops, more than a dozen imperial guard scouts Qingqi were running wildly, as if they were being chased.
Just now the distance between the two sides was too far, General Zuo and others could not see clearly.
Now seeing that the scout Qingqi of their imperial guards seemed to be being chased by someone, their expressions became ugly.
"The Northern Army is deceiving people too much!"
A General of the Guards angrily scolded.
"The whole army is on alert! Let the siege troops withdraw!"
General Zuo saw a large number of Northern Army cavalry surging forward, his pupils shrank sharply, and he had a terrible guess.
?Because the Northern Army's behavior was too abnormal, he couldn't help but be more vigilant.
The retreat horn sounded, and the troops of the Imperial Guard who were besieging Heiyan City, the capital of Pingyang Province, were puzzled, but they still obeyed the order to retreat.
The precarious Black Rock City defense line returned to the defenders' hands because of the active retreat of the Imperial Guards.
"My lord governor, the Northern Army has arrived, and it must be His Highness the Fourth Highness who has returned with reinforcements!"
Heaving a sigh of relief, the general defending the Black Rock City seemed very excited to see the cavalry of the Northern Army pouring out of the horizon.
"It is still unknown whether it is an enemy or a friend, so don't underestimate the enemy!"
The Governor of Pingyang Province looked at the cavalry of the Northern Army appearing on the battlefield, still looking solemn.
?Because the Northern Army is a powerful frontier army guarding the northern border.
Whether they obeyed the prince's order and beheaded the fourth prince to conquer them, or whether the fourth prince brought in reinforcements, everything is unknown.
When both sides on the battlefield were full of doubts, the Northern Army had quietly adjusted its scattered formation on the march.
"Send me the order, attack!"
General Li Kou of Zhenbei stared at the Imperial Guard troops retreating from Black Rock City like a tide, and gave orders in a cold voice.
"General, our army is exhausted from the long journey, should we take a break and attack again?"
? A general of the northern army clasped his fists.
"Defeat the imperial guards and rest!" Li Kou said coldly.
The northern army has been guarding the northern border for so many years, although it has been fighting with wolves on the grassland all year round.
However, in the inner provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty, they had never seen the mighty strength of the Northern Army, and now Li Kou couldn't wait to show off the muscles of the Northern Army.
Li Kou, the Great General of Zhenbei, originally thought of selling for a price, but the price offered by the fourth prince was too generous. In addition, the fourth prince beheaded the special envoy of the prince, forcing him to fall to the side of the fourth prince.
The Fourth Prince has now appointed Li Kou as the Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, responsible for commanding the various troops under the Fourth Prince's command.
Moreover, the fourth prince also personally promised that once he defeats the prince and wins the world, he will make Li Kou the king of Zhenbei, hereditary.
You must know that in the Far Eastern Dynasty, except for some meritorious service in the founding of the country, the old generals will become kings of the opposite sex. For more than 400 years, after generations of title reductions, there is no such thing as a king with a different surname now.
But the fourth prince is willing to give their Li family a hereditary king of Zhenbei, which means that as long as there is one person in the Li family alive, the king of Zhenbei belongs to their Li family.
Moreover, there is an unknown ambition hidden deep in Li Kou's heart, that is, if given the opportunity, he also wants to establish a Li Dynasty.
Of course, he also has self-knowledge. Although the Northern Army is strong, it is not invincible.
Once he dares to set up a banner and proclaim himself emperor, he may not end well there, and he will become the target of siege, because their teachers are unknown.
So now their northern army can only fight under the command of the fourth prince. Only after defeating all armies and sweeping the world, can they turn around and seize the throne from the fourth prince.
Li Kou has an astonishing plan, and the premise of all this is the backing of strong strength.
The Northern Army is a trump card in Li Kou's hand. It was not known that the Northern Army guarded the northern border before, but now he needs to let the Northern Army show its strength.
"Boom! Boom, boom, boom!"
"Boom boom boom boom¡ª"
? On the battlefield, the sound of drums and hammers was loud, and the Northern Army, which had just arrived on the battlefield, couldn't wait to launch an attack on the Guards.
"kill!"
Major General Li Yi raised the lance in his hand high, swung it forward suddenly, and the dark cavalry of the northern army behind him rushed forward.
The northern army light cavalry formed an attack formation, and the murderous northern army cavalry rode their horses to speed up. The earth trembled, and the smoke and dust filled the air, like a flood that opened the gate, and swept towards the imperial guards.
"Master Zuo, the northern army killed our brother scout"
When the northern army was speeding up their horses and preparing to charge, the sweaty guard scout Qingqi finally rushed to the banner of the Chinese army, reporting the enemy's situation in a hurried voice.
The scouts of the Imperial Guard Qingqi have been wandering around the battlefield. When they found the scouts of the Northern Army, they were about to approach them, but they were besieged.
They broke through desperately and prepared to report back, but a large group of Imperial Guard cavalry chased after them, because they were all cavalry, and the two sides could not keep a distance from each other.
So the Northern Army almost arrived at the battlefield with their buttocks behind them. When they reported, the Northern Army had completed a short formation and launched an attack.
"You guys go down first."
Before the Imperial Guard scouts could finish their words, General Zuo waved them off.
Because there is no need for the scouts to report now, the northern army has rushed over like a tide.
"Master Zuo General, what should we do?"
Seeing the light cavalry of the Northern Army sweeping towards them, the generals of the Imperial Guard all looked solemn.
"Order the black cavalry to stop them and cover the siege troops to retreat to the camp!"
General Zuo of the Imperial Guard knew that in such a wilderness, their Imperial Guard infantry was no match for the Northern Army's light cavalry, so he ordered the Black Cavalry to attack and stop the Northern Army's light cavalry.
But now he is not in a hurry to fight the northern army, but needs to withdraw to the camp to stabilize his position, and at the same time report the situation here to the capital. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
