    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 688

    ? On the scenic provincial highway, flags fluttering, swords like a forest, the brigade Qinghe Army soldiers and horses are marching along the provincial highway.

    Under the big black banner, surrounded by the sturdy cavalry guards, Chen Ziang admired the beautiful scenery on both sides of the road.

    When the line was interrupted, the prison cars were slowly moving forward as the wheels turned. The disheveled heads of the families had already lost their former prestige. They lay limp in the prison cars, dying.

    Although the Intelligence Department of the Public Security Department of Jiangnan Province was established not long ago, the newly appointed Minister of Intelligence Liu Shuo was eager to make meritorious deeds, so he did everything he could by any means.

    In order to be able to surprise and interrogate some important information as soon as possible, he used some unconventional means to these patriarchs who were not welcome to see in the past.

    Although Yue Shan, the chief of public security, was reported by his subordinates, saying that Liu Shuo's methods were somewhat cruel.

    But Yue Shan turned a blind eye, as long as he could get useful information, he wouldn't bother to care how Liu Shuo dealt with these patriarchs.

    Because Yue Shan himself is a result-oriented person, as long as he can give him a satisfactory result, he will not care about your process.

    "Yue Shan, do you think those enemies hiding in the dark will come?"

    Chen Zi'ang looked away from the large fields on both sides of the provincial road, and smiled and asked Yue Shan, the chief of public security, who was riding beside him.

    "Their patriarchs are all in the team, and you are here, the general. I believe they will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a move." Yue Shan said confidently.

    Chen Ziang asked again: "Then where do you think they will set up an ambush?"

    Yue Shan replied with a smile: "I don't know where they set up an ambush, but the towns and dangerous places along this road all have the eyes of our intelligence department. As long as they appear, they cannot escape the fate of extinction."

    "It's unlucky for them to meet you." Chen Ziang said with a smile.

    "I'm just a small soldier under the general's command. The most sensible thing for them is not to be an enemy of you, general." Yue Shan also laughed.

    The rapid sound of horseshoes sounded, and both Chen Ziang and Yue Shan stopped talking and turned their gazes into the distance.

    The guards cavalry who surrounded them all became serious, with their hands on the blade, ready to fight at any time.

    Soon, a young man in a rough robe passed the inspection of the cavalry guards, rode his horse and rushed to Chen Ziang and the others. He reined in his horse and gave a military salute.

    "General Qi, Mr. Yue, Xiqing Town, twenty miles away, has been besieged by a large group of bandits! Several caravans and our team of scout brothers are inside." The young man reported loudly.

    "The brains of these gangsters are not stupid, and they know how to turn the tiger away from the mountain."

    After hearing the report, Chen Ziang couldn't help showing a playful look on his face.

    They thought that others would set up an ambush on their way, but who knew that they were playing the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.

    "Since they want to play, let's play with them."

    Chen Zi'ang immediately ordered: "The cavalry attack and rush to the aid of Xiqing Town."

    "No!"

    Amid the yelling of the cavalry officers, the cavalry of the brigade left the brigade rumblingly and headed towards Xiqing Town, twenty miles away, billowing up smoke and dust all over the sky.

    Chen Zi'ang and his team were accompanied by 2,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry in addition to their personal guards.

    Now the 2,000 cavalry troops have been ordered to rush to the aid of Xiqing Town, so the only guards left by Chen Ziang's side are the personal guards and the 2,000 infantry brothers.

    "The cavalry of the bandit army have all gone to Xiqing Town."

    Chen Zi'ang and his cavalry were dispatched to rescue Xiqing Town, which was besieged by bandits, and the news quickly spread to those family leaders.

    At this moment, the young masters and managers of several families are on a mountain not far from the provincial highway.

    "The bandit army only has more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, we can dispatch now." The young master of the Feng family suggested.

    "Send the order and attack." The young master of the Chu family nodded.

    Following their order, about 5,000 private soldiers of the family hiding near the provincial highway all moved towards Chen Ziang and the others.

    Their families have been passed down for hundreds of years. It can be said that they have a profound heritage. Not only are they rich and powerful, but they also have a lot of troops in their hands.

    Previously they formed a militia force,The Qinghe Army was wiped out in sevens and eighties, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

    Then when they were about to counterattack the various prefectures and counties, the stragglers who had assembled were wiped out again.

    Now the troops that these young masters can mobilize are their last property, and they have exhausted all their efforts to mobilize these troops from all over the place.

    Among these soldiers and horses, apart from the family guards in various manors and guards, even some grooms were issued weapons and prepared to fight, which is enough to show that the major families have reached the end of their strength.

    "Kill!"

    Chen Ziang and the others walked forward for a few more miles, when suddenly there were loud shouts of killing from the forests on both sides.

    The gangsters in messy clothes raised their weapons high and rushed towards Chen Zi'ang and the others. They covered a large area, but their aura was frightening.

    "Finished formation!"

    Chen Ziang and the others were marching slowly. Seeing a large number of bandits rushing from the two wings at this moment, they did not panic, but formed an orderly array amidst the officers' orders.

    In just a moment, two thousand infantry formed a circular formation, guarding Chen Ziang and the others in the center.

    On the periphery are brothers holding four-cornered square shields wrapped in iron sheets, and then there are countless spears and spears and archers holding crossbows glowing coldly.

    Their circular formation is like a hedgehog, covered in fur, making it difficult for people to approach.

    Before the bandits rushed forward, they were also stunned to see the Qinghe army quickly forming a defensive circle.

    Because the response speed of the Qinghe army was so fast, it was almost as if they had conducted a drill in advance.

    But now they are like arrows leaving the string. Now that they have rushed out, there is naturally no reason to turn back.

    Compared with the gangsters who were yelling and rushing forward, the brothers of the Qinghe army looked solemn, staring at the bandits who were approaching quickly, and getting ready for battle.

    Sparse arrows fell into the formation of the Qinghe army, and the arrows collided with the iron-covered shields, making a crisp clang.

    "Pfft!"

    Occasionally, one or two arrows pierced through the standard leather armor of the Qinghe Army brothers, making them groan uncontrollably, and then they were quickly replaced in the formation for treatment.

    "Fire the arrow!"

    Seeing that the gangsters had rushed to a distance of 30 steps, Du Jian, the captain of the personal guard, gave an order, and the brothers holding crossbows pulled the triggers one after another.

    "Shhhhhhh¡ª¡ª"

    The sharp crossbow bolts poured towards the bandits one after another, and blood blossomed in the bandits' ranks, and they fell to the ground in pieces.

    They have seen the concentrated coverage of the Qinghe Army's crossbow arrows. In just the blink of an eye, they lost five or six hundred people, and the screams and pain rang out.

    "Go, savior!"

    "Kill the thief chief and reward ten thousand gold!"

    Seeing that a large area of ??people in front had been shot, those leaders hesitated a little, then shouted loudly again, urging the gangsters to continue to charge forward.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
