    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 689

    The gangsters stepped on the corpse and rushed up fiercely. Amidst the dull impact, they slammed into the four-cornered shield wrapped in iron.

    The sound of clanging kept ringing, and many gangsters kept slashing and slashing with their weapons, but the brothers of the Qinghe Army hid behind the shields, and they couldn't cut the brothers of the Qinghe Army at all.

    Those brothers who pressed their shoulders firmly against the shield felt that their shoulders were numb under the violent impact, but they gritted their teeth and persisted.

    The shield wall blocked the swarming bandits, and the bandits gathered together, although they yelled, but Chen Ziang and the others had nothing to do.

    The crossbowmen of the Qinghe Army kept loading their crossbow arrows, shooting and killing the most popular bandit leaders.

    "prick!"

    Seeing that it was difficult for the bandits crowded in front of the shield wall to get in, Du Jian, the captain of the personal guard, gave a cold shout and gave the order to attack.

    Countless sharp spears stabbed out along the gaps in the shield, and then sank into the bodies of the bandits after a little delay.

    "Puff!"

    "Puff!"

    "Well!"

    "Ah, it hurts so much!"

    Facing the stabbing spears and guns, the gangsters had no way to hide, and watched as a bloody hole was stabbed out of their bodies.

    "receive!"

    "prick!"

    Under Du Jian's command, the brothers of the Qinghe Army stabbed out their spears mechanically, and then retracted them.

    In just a moment, sticky blood flowed down and covered the spears, making it almost difficult for them to hold them.

    The bandits in front of the shield also died in a circle, and the piled up corpses exuded a strong smell of blood.

    The gangsters behind were still shouting from the leaders, rushing forward yelling.

    However, as soon as he rushed to the front of the shield, he was stabbed into a sieve, and then fell limply to the ground, becoming a gradually cold corpse in the corpse pile.

    "Cavalry, attack!"

    Seeing that the bandits were unable to attack due to the heavy casualties, Chen Zi'ang's three hundred bodyguard cavalry rushed out like a thunder along a passage made aside by the infantry.

    The gangsters saw that the shield wall had opened a passage, and more than a dozen gangsters rushed towards this side happily.

    But the next moment they saw the sturdy war horses galloping towards them, they turned and fled hurriedly in fright.

    "Boom!"

    However, the speed of the horse was too fast, and the dozen or so gangsters were knocked by the horse and flew out in an instant.

    These Qinghe army cavalry who were full of murderous aura rushed out, and the bandits rushed forward, and then were beheaded on the spot at a faster speed.

    The cavalry swept past, and all the bandits standing in front of them turned into mutilated corpses.

    Facing these elite personal guard cavalry, the bandits would die at the touch of a sword, almost without a single enemy.

    "Run!"

    "They are demons!"

    The bandits are all remnants gathered by the big families, and many of them are even grooms and others who hold swords, so their fighting power is naturally weak.

    Seeing the continuous death of their companions, their psychology also collapsed, and they scattered, fleeing towards the mountains and forests.

    "Don't chase, don't fall into an ambush."

    Seeing the bandits leaving corpses all over the ground and fleeing towards the forest, Chen Ziang stopped the pursuit of his brothers.

    "Damn, you're too cunning."

    At this moment, in the mountains and forests, there are still many family soldiers ambushing. They have already set up traps. If Chen Ziang and the others pursue them, they will kill another carbine.

    But Chen Ziang and the others were also cautious, and they didn't chase into the woods at all, which made their serial plan come to nothing.

    However, after seeing the powerful fighting power of the Qinghe Army, they did not dare to rush out rashly to continue fighting with the Qinghe Army.

    "Let them rest and replenish their strength, and then attack at night!"

    They were afraid of the Qinghe Army's cavalry and suffered heavy losses, so they decided to delay their attack on the Qinghe Army until night.

    "Order Xiqing Town, the cavalry dragging the rebel army, don't let them come back for help."

    "No!"

    ?Because these wealthy families suffered a loss, they had to suspend their attack.

    Chen Ziang and the others beheaded more than a thousand levels in one battle, which can be said to be a complete victory, but they still did not relax their vigilance.?.

    After they hastily cleaned the battlefield, they immediately continued to march towards the provincial capital.

    It's just that along the way, although the large group of bandits did not come to attack, the small group of troops kept harassing them like flies, which made Chen Ziang and the others feel very annoying.

    Two thousand cavalry from the Qinghe Army rescued Xiqing Town, which was besieged by a large group of bandits, but when they were about to come back to join Chen Ziang and the others, another nearby town was attacked, and they had to go to the rescue again.

    When night fell, Chen Ziang and the others set up camp in a place with slightly higher terrain.

    They dug trenches and set up fences, and all the soldiers looked as if they were facing an enemy.

    And in the wild mountains and mountains around them, many scouts of bandits were active, spying on Chen Ziang's camp.

    When the young masters of these families were all focused on Chen Ziang and the others, on the remote path, Tang Ping, the action corps of the Public Security Department, led more than 8,000 security department soldiers to march in a hurry.

    Most of the more than 8,000 public security soldiers were brought out by Tang Ping from his hometown, and some were newly recruited.

    It's just that they are now dressed in rags and covered in blood. Obviously, they have experienced a lot of fighting.

    Chen Zi'ang and the others were marching on the provincial road aboveboard, while Tang Ping's soldiers and horses from the Security Department were criss-crossing the nearby mountains.

    Many enemies who tried to ambush Chen Ziang and the others were wiped out one by one by the security forces who suddenly rushed out from behind.

    Tang Ping and the others fought for almost a whole day, and many bandits who tried to get behind Chen Ziang and the others were also killed several times by them.

    When the soldiers and horses of various families were sharpening their knives and preparing to launch a general attack on Chen Ziang and the others at midnight, the security forces led by Tang Ping had already circled behind them.

    "My lord, they are all hiding in the ravine in front of them. There are tens of thousands of them."

    Tang Ping and the others hid in a dense forest, and the scouts quickly reported the news to him.

    "Send the order to launch an attack in an hour."

    Tang Ping's face was also scratched several times by thorns, making him look extraordinarily ferocious.

    The soldiers of the Security Department ate some dry food, took a rest, and then, led by Tang Ping, occupied the hilltop near the ravine.

    "Attack!"

    Following Tang Ping's order, the security guards and horsemen divided into several groups, and rushed towards the enemy ambushing in the ravine.

    "what happened?"

    Seeing the security guards and horses pounced down from the mountain, the gangsters who were wiping their swords were all stunned.

    Because they kept their eyes on Chen Ziang on the provincial highway, they never expected that someone would rush up from behind them.

    The panicked gangsters in the valley were in a mess, and Tang Ping led the security forces to charge and beat them, killing them all.

    In the chaos, the young masters of those families also fled in all directions. Many of them had night blindness and stumbled in the dark, and many of them died in the chaos.

    Chen Ziang and the others naturally heard the shouts of killing from the mountains in the distance, and saw the flames soaring into the sky over there.

    However, they did not act rashly, but stuck to the camp until dawn, and after dawn, the mountains where they had been fighting all night gradually quieted down.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
