"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 574
The admiral of Qingpu Mansion and the generals of the Southern Army stationed in Qingpu Mansion both sent people to Xilang Mansion on the south bank of the Dongjiang River to inquire about news.
"The magistrate of Baiyang County was beheaded, and Baiyang County fell."
"A large number of rebel cavalry appeared near Xilang Port. The road was blocked and we couldn't get close."
"The black wolf flag of the bandit army has been erected on the top of Wanzhou City."
"The bandit army covered the sky and the sun, and the number is countless."
The people sent out to inquire about the news returned one after another, bringing back one bad news after another.
Moreover, as the vicinity of Xilang Port was captured by the Qinghe Army, a large number of rich and wealthy gentry living in the nearby area fled to Qingpu Prefecture with their property and family members.
For a while, the road leading to Qingpu Mansion was overcrowded, full of fleeing people, their faces were full of panic and fear.
The Qinghe army suddenly approached the Jiangnan province, so that everyone was not mentally prepared.
Because of the southern army stationed in Jiangnan province, the rich and gentlemen felt that they were safe and sound, but now the Qinghe army shattered their illusions.
"Quick Horse sent people to Dongjiang Province to report the enemy's situation here to General Zhennan!"
The garrison general of Qingpu Mansion also realized that something was wrong. The 10,000 people under his command might not be the opponent of the Qinghe Army, so he immediately dispatched a fast horse to report to General Zhennan.
"Quickly report to the governor, a large number of bandits have captured Xilang Port, and Qingpu Mansion is in danger, please reinforce."
After the admiral of Qingpu Mansion learned of the seriousness of the enemy situation, he immediately sent someone to the provincial capital to report to the governor.
The admiral of Qingpu Mansion and the generals of the Southern Army Garrison also attended the meeting to discuss how to deal with the current crisis.
At the very beginning, they wanted to launch an immediate counterattack to recapture Xilang Port and block the Qinghe army's southward passage.
But because they wasted time exploring back and forth, the scout cavalry of the Qinghe Army have appeared in the suburbs of Qingpu Mansion.
As a result, they are also panicked now, and they no longer dare to attack, but think about whether to defend Qingpu Mansion.
"Qingpu Prefecture has high walls and thick walls. As long as we hold on for a week, reinforcements will arrive."
The opinion of the admiral of Qingpu Mansion is to stick to Qingpu Mansion. After all, he is the admiral here, so he can't escape first.
Because if he didn't order to escape first, it would be tantamount to surrendering the Qingpu Mansion, and when the charge of losing the city and land was charged, his head would be lost.
"The thieves' soldiers are sharp, and they captured several counties in a short period of time. We should avoid their sharp edges and preserve our strength."
The generals of the Southern Army stationed in Qingpu Mansion were eager to fight the Qinghe Army at the beginning, so as to get some military industry department by the way.
However, after hearing about the strength of the Qinghe army, he has already started to retreat in his heart. He doesn't want to lose his life here.
The opinions of the admiral of Qingpu Mansion and the general of the garrison were to the left, and neither of them could persuade the other, which led to a stalemate for a while.
And the inspectors are also confused at the moment, unable to make up their minds, which makes them unable to come up with a solution to the problem in a short time.
When the admiral of Qingpu Mansion and the generals of the garrison were still arguing in the city about whether to defend or retreat, a large number of refugees, gentry and rich men had flocked to Qingpu Mansion.
Seeing these refugees and country gentry and rich men who are in panic all day long, all kinds of rumors are flying in the sky.
"There are hundreds of thousands of thieves, and they kill without blinking an eye!"
"The bandit cavalry are all three-headed and six-armed, invulnerable, we can't beat them."
Those stragglers of the defeated dynasty, the fleeing common people, and the country gentry and rich men inadvertently spread the strength of the Qinghe Army.
In their description, the Qinghe army is simply invincible.
After such rumors from them, people in Qingpu Mansion were also panicked. Not only the defenders were ready to flee, but the people also began to pack their bags, and there was a tense and chilling atmosphere in the air.
"Why didn't I think we were that powerful."
Hearing those squires describe that the Qinghe army was tall and invulnerable, the commander of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade, who was among the refugees, showed an unconcealable smile.
"They are complimenting us." A hundred generals with a dirty face said with a smile.
"My lord, the Admiral's Mansion is just ahead, and there are not many guards."
hereAt that moment, a ragged refugee approached Madman Cheng who was resting under the eaves and said in a low voice.
After Cheng Fengzi captured Wanzhou City, they pretended to be refugees and rushed to Qingpu Mansion.
These brothers pretended to be refugees, mixed into Qingpu Prefecture one after another, and scattered everywhere.
"Go, fuck him!"
Hearing that there were not many guards in the Admiral's Mansion in Qingpu Mansion, a stern look flashed across the face of Crazy Cheng.
"My lord, do you want to call the brothers together before taking action?"
Crazy Cheng and the others now only have more than a hundred brothers around, the rest are scattered in various places, and some have not entered the city.
"Let them split up." Crazy Cheng ordered in a low voice.
"No¡ª¡ª"
After a few brothers who were in charge of delivering the order responded, they squeezed into the chaotic crowd and disappeared.
Crazy Cheng and others approached the Admiral's Mansion in Qingpu Prefecture under the cover of a large number of refugees.
"Go away!"
Crazy Cheng and the others arrived outside the Admiral's Mansion, and the soldiers guarding on the steps scolded loudly when they saw their ragged appearance.
"Master Jun, I just want to find a sip of water to drink."
Crazy Cheng leaned on a wooden stick, limped to him and said.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is the Admiral's Mansion, you need to find a place to carry water!"
"Get out of here quickly, or you'll be welcome!" the guard said viciously.
"Master Jun"
While Crazy Cheng was shouting at the other party, suddenly a sharp dagger slipped out of his sleeve. He stepped forward and rushed at the guard soldier.
"Puff!"
The dagger pierced fiercely into the heart of the guarding soldier, and Madman Cheng twisted it clockwise, and the soldier collapsed in pain.
"There are enemies!"
?The rest of the guards saw that Madman Cheng suddenly drew out his dagger and stabbed one of their soldiers in the heart, and they also drew out their knives and guns as if they were facing a big enemy, and there were endless clanging sounds.
"kill!"
Soldiers from the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade of the Qinghe Army, disguised as refugees, swarmed up and quickly rushed up the steps.
Many guard soldiers were directly attacked by the shadow, and before they could react, the sharp blade cut their throats.
The soldiers of the Blade Assault Brigade acted swiftly, and the more than 20 guarding soldiers guarding the gate of the Admiral's Mansion were quickly slaughtered.
After Cheng Fengzi and the others seized the weapons, they quickly rushed into the admiral's mansion. Amid the splashing of blood, the guards were knocked to the ground one after another.
"what happened?"
The admiral was discussing with the garrison general and others how to deal with the situation, when he suddenly heard the shouts of killing from outside, his expression changed.
"Master Admiral, it's not good, it's not good, the bandit army has come in!"
A panicked soldier stumbled into the house. Not far away, Madman Cheng and others were killing along the corridor, unstoppable.
"They came so fast!"
The admiral of Qingpu Mansion did not expect the Qinghe army to kill him so soon, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Master Admiral, let's go, if you don't go, it will be too late."
The faces of the garrison generals were also extraordinarily dignified. Seeing the ferocious appearance of Cheng Fengzi and the others, they were ready to run away.
"Let's go, let's go."
After hesitating for a few seconds, the admiral of Qingpu Mansion gritted his teeth and decided that saving his life was the most important thing.
"Go and stop the bandits!"
The general of the garrison sent his guards out, while he fled in embarrassment through the back door with the admiral of Qingpu Mansion and others.
When Cheng Crazy and others were attacking the Admiral's Mansion in Qingpu Prefecture, the soldiers of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade scattered everywhere also set fire to them, attacking important places such as warehouses and bank vaults, causing chaos in the city.
