"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 755
Jiangnan Province, the capital of Tongshan Prefecture.
Under the dark night, the Southern Army soldiers holding torches all the way arrived outside the city gate.
With the help of the light from the torches at the top of the city, seeing the battle flag of the Southern Army hanging on the top of the city, the soldiers of the Southern Army who were tired all the way were relieved.
"Go and shout, let them open the city."
Surrounded by the crowd, the haggard major general Luo Jing is no longer as vigorous as before, and now he urgently needs to go to the city to rest.
After Major General Luo Jing and the others fled the Blue River battlefield that day, they originally planned to gather the troops stationed in various towns and fight the Qinghe Army.
However, when he learned that a group of cavalry from the Qinghe Army had driven straight in and headed towards Tongshan Mansion, Luo Jing was worried that the back road would be cut off, so he withdrew westward without stopping.
They led the soldiers and horses gathered along the way to retreat all the way west. Behind them, the mighty Qinghe Army troops came up.
Several small-scale battles broke out between Luo Jing's rearguard troops and the Qinghe army that was chasing up.
Because the Qinghe army was chasing behind, Luo Jing and the others did not dare to delay at all, and retreated all the way west.
Along the way, they couldn't sleep well, couldn't eat warmly, and they were often harassed by the infiltrated Qinghe army's small units, and their nerves were always tense.
What Luo Jing was most worried about was the safety of Tongshan Mansion. Once Tongshan Mansion fell, their way of retreat would be cut off.
Now they hurriedly retreated all the way to Tongshan Mansion, seeing the battle flag of the Southern Army hanging on the top of the city, the stone hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
Although they don't know the purpose of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army marching westward, as long as Tongshan Mansion is still in their hands, they can withdraw to Dongjiang Province at any time.
"People in the city listen up, the major general has an order to open the city gate quickly!"
A battalion general of the Southern Army galloped his horse to the foot of the city, raised his head and shouted loudly, his voice was especially loud in the silent night.
"It's the major general, open the city gate!"
Seeing the army holding torches outside the city, an officer at the top of the city gave an order, and the city gate creaked down.
"Enter the city."
Major General Luo Jing almost died in the Blue River Battlefield that day. Although he escaped later, the Qinghe army came after him. He fled all the way west, and he was exhausted.
Now that he has arrived at Tongshan Mansion, which is only a few tens of miles away from Dongjiang Province, he has also relaxed, and his vigilance has dropped greatly.
Although he was defeated in the Blue River Battlefield, but a tiger never eats a child, his father would at most scold him, put him aside for a while, and then activate his own, life is safe.
Now Luo Jing is ready to bear the wrath of his father Luo Mingyuan, after all, he really played a fool this time.
However, although the main force was wiped out on the Blue River battlefield, there were still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the towns he gathered, which was not a complete defeat.
Luo Jing led the more than 20,000 Southern Army soldiers he gathered into the city in a long queue. They were in urgent need of rest and recuperation.
When the Southern Army led by Luo Jing marched into the city, ready to eat, drink, and sleep well, they didn't know that groups of archers in the city were being transferred to the commanding heights such as the city wall.
In fact, Tongshan Mansion is already under the control of the Qinghe Army. Lei Ming, the deputy commander of the Second Corps of the Qinghe Army, led more than 11,000 cavalry all the way to the west and occupied it long ago.
It's just that they didn't spend a single soldier when they occupied this place. The nephew of the old general Wang Cheng, who surrendered from the southern army, was guarding the place as the battalion commander.
Under the persuasion of the old general Wang Cheng, his nephew also took the initiative to lay down his arms and surrendered to the Qinghe Army.
In addition to the old general Wang Cheng's prestige in the southern army, his nephew is not a fool.
Because Wang Cheng surrendered to the Qinghe Army, that was his backer in the Southern Army. The backer was gone, and with his relationship with Wang Cheng, he might be implicated when Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan pursued him.
So in the end, he simply did not do anything, and directly followed Wang Cheng to surrender to the Qinghe Army.
The cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army quietly occupied this place, but in order to avoid alarming the Southern Army troops of Dongjiang Province and prevent them from attacking here, all Tongshan Mansions remained as usual, and the Southern Army who surrendered did not change their flags. .
Now the major general Luo Jing who fled all the way here thought thatWe have arrived at a safe place, but we don't know that the seemingly safest place is actually the most dangerous.
"Where's your king's battalion general?"
Major General Luo Jing entered the city surrounded by everyone, seeing scattered defenders standing on the dark street, and no one came to greet him, he also frowned.
"Reporting to the major general, our battalion general has fallen asleep, and I have sent someone to call him." A Southern Army officer standing at the gate of the city replied.
"Hurry up and prepare wine and meat, we haven't eaten yet." A general of the Southern Army said.
"No."
The Southern Army officer who was guarding the gate of the city immediately responded and strode away.
"Boom!"
When Luo Jing brought the soldiers into the city straight to the admiral's mansion, suddenly there was a huge roar from behind.
When Luo Jing and the others heard the sound, they all turned their heads to look, only to see the city gate slammed down, and several Southern Army soldiers who couldn't dodge were immediately crushed to pieces.
Before Luo Jing and the others could react, densely packed torches suddenly lit up like mushrooms on the city wall and surrounding roofs, and countless arrows were aimed at them.
Under the light of the torches, these soldiers who appeared on the roofs and city walls around the streets were all wearing the black uniforms of the Qinghe Army.
Seeing this scene, Major General Luo Jing's head suddenly went blank, and the Southern Army who entered the city suddenly panicked.
"You are surrounded! Quickly put down your weapons and surrender, or you will be shot to death!"
On a roof, Tan Feng, deputy head of the 13th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Cavalry, looked at the panicked Southern Army soldiers on the street, and shouted sharply.
"Major General, what should we do?"
The gate of the city was closed suddenly, their team was cut into two sections, and now there was another ambush in the city, and the already exhausted soldiers of the southern army were also at a loss.
"Get out!"
Major General Luo Jing was naturally unwilling to be captured so obediently. After taking a deep breath, he gave the order to break out.
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Southern Army who entered the city waved their weapons one after another, and rushed towards the city gate, trying to take back the city gate and leave the city.
"Stubborn and unclear, shoot the arrow!"
Seeing the Southern Army crowding the streets rushing towards the city gate, Tan Feng, the deputy head of the banner in charge of commanding the battle, waved his hand and gave the order to shoot arrows.
"Shhhhhhh¡ª¡ª"
There was a piercing whistling sound in the dark night, and sharp arrows densely packed like locusts poured towards the wide street from the roofs, city walls, etc.
"Puff puff!"
"ah!"
The streets were unobstructed, facing the dense rain of arrows, the soldiers of the Confederate Army crowded on the streets suddenly fell down like ripe wheat.
"Puff!"
"Hiss!"
Major General Luo Jing was guarded by personal guards with shields, but the arrows had no eyes. An arrow pierced through his arm, causing him to gasp in pain.
"Protect the major general!"
Seeing that the arrow pierced Major General Luo Jing's arm, the guards also shouted, and several soldiers raised their shields to protect them.
The city gate has been closed, and the soldiers of the Confederate Army tried to rush up the city tower along the city ladder to regain control of the city gate.
They braved the arrows to charge towards the city tower, and people were constantly shot down by arrows and rolled down the city ladder.
Some people managed to rush up the steps, and they were greeted by dense spears and spears.
The spear stabbed indiscriminately, and the Southern Army soldiers who fell in front of them wailed and screamed, and rolled down the city ladder, blood staining the city ladder.
The southern army outside the city saw the city gate suddenly closed, and they heard the shouts of killing inside the city, and they were also very anxious.
However, they didn't carry a ladder to attack the city, so they could only find a few pieces of wood temporarily, trying to break open the city gate to rescue Major General Luo Jing and others who entered the city.
