"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 803
The Qinghe army bypassed the frontal rebel line of defense and entered the territory of Pingyong Prefecture from the northern region.
They ignored all the villages and towns along the way, and rushed to Pingyong Mansion with lightning speed.
"My lord, my lord, there are a large number of bandits approaching outside the city!"
There are about a thousand rebels guarding a county town. Seeing a large number of our Qinghe army appear, the rebel soldiers panicked and reported to the general of the thousand guards.
"Hurry up to the city to meet the enemy!"
The rebel general who was drinking with the officers in the mansion heard that the Qinghe army had come to him, and was so frightened that the wine glass dropped and shattered.
Amidst the ear-piercing sound of the gong, the rebel soldiers wandering in the city grabbed their weapons one after another and rushed to the top of the city.
Countless sharp arrows were also aimed at the outside of the city. When they saw the dark Qinghe army, their breathing became heavy.
But to their surprise, the Qinghe army did not attack them, but went directly around the city.
"Where did this bandit army come from? What are they going to do?"
Seeing the mighty Qinghe army appearing outside the county seat and then leaving under their noses, the rebels guarding here were also puzzled.
"They seem to be heading in the direction of Pingyong Mansion." An officer said after looking at the direction in which the Qinghe Army was leaving.
"It's broken, the bandit army is heading for Pingyong Mansion!"
The rebel officer, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly realized that he knew the goals of the Qinghe Army.
"Send a fast horse to Pingyong Mansion quickly, and say that a large number of bandits are heading towards them." The rebel officer hurriedly ordered.
"No!"
The rebels soon sent people to report, but their messengers went on foot, and there were no horses to ride.
All the horses captured by the rebels were confiscated by the commander Yang Hao, and a cavalry force of more than 2,000 people was formed.
The messenger of the rebels took the trail, panting tiredly, and finally arrived at Pingyong Mansion ahead of the Qinghe army.
Stationed in Pingyong Mansion was a deputy general of the rebel army named Lu Jiang. He was also full of doubts about the news when he heard the panting ear messenger report the situation.
"Has a large group of bandits entered Pingyong Mansion?"
"Why didn't the front line report?"
Because they deployed 20,000 heavy troops in the direction of Lingchuan Mansion, if the Qinghe Army came, they would definitely get the news.
"General Lu, this matter is absolutely true. There is indeed a large group of bandits coming towards Pingyong Mansion."
"Send someone to investigate quickly!"
Although he did not believe that there was a large number of Qinghe troops in the territory, the lieutenant general Lu Jiang was able to climb to the position of lieutenant general stepping on many bones. In addition to being brave on the battlefield, he was also cautious in doing things, and immediately sent someone to investigate the situation.
Before the scouts who inquired about the news returned the news, some officers stationed in the military camp outside the city sent people to report in a hurry that Qinghe army cavalry appeared in the suburbs, and one of their patrols was attacked.
After receiving the news, Lieutenant General Lu Jiang also realized the seriousness of the problem, because the cavalry of the Qinghe Army went deep into the hinterland of Pingyong Mansion.
Either the cavalry of the Qinghe Army bypassed the frontal defensive troops, or the frontal troops were completely wiped out.
"Send the order, the whole army is on alert, ready to meet the enemy!"
There are now about 20,000 rebel troops stationed in Pingyong Mansion. Although the Qinghe army came to attack, the deputy general Lu Jiang still has the confidence to defend here.
Lieutenant General Lu Jiang, surrounded by a team of personal guards, was ready to rush to the barracks outside the city to lead the battle in person after he was fully dressed.
As soon as Deputy General Lu Jiang stepped out of the gate of the mansion, a salesman carrying a burden turned into a small alley and got into the back door of a house.
"My lord, Lu Jiang has come out."
In this courtyard, after receiving the report, Madman Cheng, the leader of the Qinghe Army's Sharp Blade Assault Brigade, also showed a smile on his face.
Lu Jiang, the general of the rebel army, was also cautious, staying in the mansion and not coming out.
However, the mansion is heavily guarded, and their sharp-blade assault brigade dare not attack by force, so they can only wait for the opportunity.
Now that Lu Jiang left the mansion to go to the barracks outside the city, this was their chance to attack the brigade with sharp blades.
"Let the brothers from the first team and the second team do it, just do it quickly." Crazy Cheng ordered.
"No."
?After yelling, he immediately left through the back door.
The Qinghe Army's Sharp Blade Assault Brigade had already infiltrated in one step earlier. They used various identities to cover and lurk.
After receiving the order, the brothers in the first team and the second team who were in charge of the road out of the city quickly took orders and prepared to intercept and kill the rebel lieutenant general Lu Jiang.
Surrounded by a group of personal guards, Lu Jiang hurried to the military camp outside the city, lowering his vigilance to the surroundings.
When they turned around a street, they suddenly found that the street was empty without a single pedestrian.
"My lord, the situation is not right."
Deputy General Lu Jiang's personal guard captain was also killed in a sea of ??swords and blood, and he is very sensitive to danger.
"kindness?"
Lieutenant General Lu Jiang naturally also felt the strange atmosphere, and stopped immediately.
The surrounding guards also reacted quickly. They drew out their sabers one after another, held their shields in front of Lu Jiang, and slowly retreated.
"There is someone on the roof!"
Soon, a rebel guard saw many people popping up on the roof like mushrooms after rain.
And the windows along the street were opened one after another, and countless crossbows were aimed at them.
"Cover the lieutenant general to retreat!"
Seeing the cold crossbow arrows, the rebels' personal guards also raised their shields high and retreated sharply as if they were facing a big enemy.
Seeing the rebel guards rushing back on the street, a cold-faced officer of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade waved his hand, and countless strong bows and crossbows began to be fired.
"Shhhhhhh¡ª¡ª"
Arrows rained down on the rebels on the street from all directions.
"Tuk tuk tuk!"
"Puff!"
"ah!"
The rebel soldiers were constantly pierced by powerful arrows, bringing up a cloud of blood, screaming and falling to the ground.
Although the lieutenant general Lu Jiang had personal guards with shields and a human wall to protect him, an arrow still pierced through his right arm, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.
"asshole!"
He was ambushed in his lair, and Lu Jiang, the lieutenant general of the rebel army, also looked very unsightly.
Under the attack of waves of arrow rain, Lu Jiang's personal guards suffered heavy losses, and the streets were soon full of hedgehog-like corpses.
As soon as the arrow ended, a large number of men in black poured out from the surrounding alleys and houses silently, and rushed towards Lu Jiang and the others.
Lu Jiang's personal guards were all elite rebels. When they saw these men in black rushing forward, they also cursed angrily and drew their swords to fight.
"Clang!"
"Puff!"
These rebel guards are still quite confident in their skills, after all, they were killed out of a sea of ??corpses and blood.
But when they fought against these men in black, they realized that the opponent's strength was quite strong.
In just one meeting between the two sides, more than a dozen rebel guards were cut down, and the man in black hacked and killed silently, unstoppable.
Lieutenant General Lu Jiang was horrified when he saw these men in black attack fiercely and cunningly, and his elite bodyguards were no opponents.
At this moment, he didn't care about his own image anymore, and ordered his personal guards to block the men in black. Under the cover of several confidants, he fled towards the mansion in a panic.
But after only a few dozen steps, a group of men in black blocked their way. Lu Jiang, the lieutenant general of the rebel army, had no choice but to look ruthless. .
However, he underestimated the fighting power of the man in black. After a few breaths, the deputy general Lu Jiang, who had risen from the rebel army, fell into a pool of blood.
"Withdraw!"
It took only a cup of tea for the men in black to intercept and kill Lu Jiang and others, and they came and went quickly.
When the rebel patrol arrived when they heard the movement, there was no one alive except for the corpses everywhere. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
