    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 733

    The cavalry team of the Qinghe Army appeared in the Xinmenfu area in the north and attacked the Southern Army on the North Road.

    Xu Liang, the commander of the First Corps of the Northern Army of the Southern Army, was caught off guard and lost nearly ten thousand soldiers. While he secretly scolded the general Luo Mingyuan for lying about the military situation, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

    The soldiers of Xu Liang's First Corps saw with their own eyes that their comrades were hacked to pieces by the brave cavalry of the Qinghe Army outside the city, so they naturally didn't want to go out of the city to die.

    The Southern Army on the North Road huddled in the fortified city. No matter how the cavalry of the Qinghe Army outside the city shouted and scolded, they seemed to be deaf and turned a deaf ear.

    Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps, even recruited many civilians from the city to strengthen the city wall day and night, making preparations for long-term defense.

    Tan Feng, deputy head of the 13th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army, was also quite helpless when he saw the orderly Southern Army infantry at the top of the city.

    Their cavalry team is good at field battles, and attacking fortifications is not their forte.

    Facing a heavily fortified city, they had little choice but to shout and provoke outside the city.

    "Leave a small team of cavalry to monitor the North Road Southern Army, and the brigade of cavalry quickly returned to the building."

    The cavalry led by Tan Feng fought against Xu Liang's Southern Army, who dared not go out of the city, and they could not enter the city. When the two sides were in a stalemate, Yuan Jie, the head of the regiment, issued a new military order.

    Seeing the impenetrable city, Tan Feng resentfully gave up his attempt to eat up the Southern Army on the North Road, leaving some cavalry behind to watch, and he himself was in command of the brigade of cavalry to meet up with the head of the Banner, Lei Ming.

    "General, general, the bandit cavalry outside the city have retreated."

    The Southern Army at the head of the city saw the Qinghe Army troops leaving the camp outside the city, and reported it to General Xu Liang immediately.

    Surrounded by a group of generals, Xu Liang also climbed to the top of the city to observe the enemy's situation.

    They could see very far from the heights, and saw that the cavalry of the Qinghe Army outside the city had disappeared without a trace.

    Only the rangers of the Qinghe Army were still wandering in the distant fields, glancing towards the city from time to time.

    "The bandit cavalry must be hiding somewhere around and deliberately lure us out of the city. We must not be fooled."

    Xu Liang lost more than ten thousand soldiers, and almost put himself in it.

    As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, you are afraid of well ropes. Seeing the Qinghe army patrolling outside the city, Xu Liang judged that this was just a conspiracy of the Qinghe army.

    "The thieves are cunning and cunning, but the general is wise and saw through the thieves' tricks."

    The generals under Xu Liang are now most afraid that Xu Liang will send them out of the city to test, that is a terrible job.

    So when Xu Liang made a judgment, they flattered each other in a hurry, as if there was really a conspiracy by the Qinghe army outside the city.

    Although the cavalry of the Qinghe Army withdrew, the Southern Army Xu Liang's troops who had been beaten did not dare to go out of the city. Instead, they continued to strengthen the city and prepared to defend it to the death.

    ? When the southern army on the north road was bitten and held back, the southern army on the middle road advanced quite fast.

    The commander-in-chief of the Southern Army in the middle is Luo Jing, son of Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan.

    Luo Mingyuan handed over the elite troops under his command to his son to command, but he still wanted his son to build up some military exploits and prestige so that he could succeed him in the future.

    Luo Jing, a major general who has been trained in the army all year round, is not a waste of time. He naturally understands his father's good intentions.

    So when he learned that the main force of the Qinghe Army was going to fight the friendly forces on the North Road, he accelerated his advance, trying to recover more areas, so as to show off his meritorious deeds.

    Almost all of the 80,000 troops on the middle road led by Luo Jing advanced along the provincial roads of Jiangnan Province.

    The provincial road runs across Jiangnan Province from west to east. Although the road has not been repaired for a long time, it is still a broad avenue.

    The provincial highways are surrounded by large tracts of plains. Cities, villages and rivers are dotted all over the plains, making this place rich and prosperous.

    The main force of the Southern Army led by Luo Jing marched forward along the provincial highway.

    The banner that covered the sky was like a thick black cloud, and the countless sharp spears exuded a cold steel light.

    The infantrymen of the Southern Army marching in four columns are neat and orderly, and the armor and blades make sonorous and powerful collision sounds during the march, which is dull and powerful.

    From time to time, there are sturdy scouts riding lightly in the field.Galloping past, the horse's hoof smashed the turf and rolled up a piece of mud.

    Facing the whole road winding like a long dragon, the people hiding in the dark were tense, their eyes full of shock.

    As night fell, the mighty main force of the southern army lit torches and gathered into a long torch dragon, winding and flowing on the dark ground.

    Now the intelligence shows that the main force of the Qinghe Army is going to attack their North Road, so Major General Luo Jing, who is eager to make meritorious service, ordered the troops to rush on the road overnight, striving to capture more prefectures and counties as soon as possible to prove his talent.

    The main force led by Luo Jing was marching holding torches, the provincial road illuminated by the torches was bright, and the dark marching ranks were daunting.

    In Yangjia Town, dozens of miles away, the vanguard troops of the Southern Army had captured it effortlessly at sunset.

    When the Southern Army's forward troops arrived, the more than two hundred Qinghe Army defenders who guarded here fled in embarrassment, which further confirmed the intelligence that the main force of the Qinghe Army was not in the middle.

    Piles of bonfires were lit in Yangjia Town, and the pigs and sheep raised by the common people were slaughtered on the spot by the happy Southern Army soldiers.

    The flames were crackling, and a large piece of meat was cooking in the boiling cauldron. The soldiers of the Southern Army's forward troops who had driven for a day gathered around the fire, drinking strong wine, talking and laughing loudly.

    The soldiers of the Southern Army who were guarding the outskirts of the town listened enviously to the chatter and laughter in the town, and prayed for an early change of guard, so that they could go back to the town to have a big meal, and then sleep soundly.

    In the dark field, black shadows approached the brightly lit Yangjia Town quietly like ghosts.

    "who?!"

    The sentinel of the Southern Army noticed the movement in the dark, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and asked sharply.

    "Brother, one of our own."

    A brother from the Qinghe Army came out of the darkness and strode towards the vigilant Southern Army sentry.

    "Passwordyou are a bandit army!"

    The soldier of the southern army was about to ask for the password. With the help of the light from the torch, he saw clearly the black military uniform the other party was wearing, and his complexion changed drastically.

    "Die!"

    The approaching Qinghe Army soldier suddenly turned grim, and the sharp sword in his hand slashed down like lightning.

    Amidst the cracking of sharp blades and bones, blood soared, and the head of the Southern Army sentry fell to the ground.

    "Enemy attack!"

    Several Southern Army soldiers standing nearby also turned pale in shock, and hurriedly shouted at the top of their voices.

    However, countless Qinghe soldiers with sharp knives sprung up around them like mushrooms after a spring rain. The bright lights of the knives flashed, and the soldiers of the Southern Army were decapitated in an instant.

    The soldiers of the Southern Army in the town were drinking heavily and eating meat. The bustling noise in the town covered up the miserable cries of the sentinels outside the town.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
