    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 805

    Zhou Ba, deputy commander of the Qinghe First Army Corps, soon led the elite First Banner Corps to the city of Pingyongfu.

    "Master Deputy Army Chief, the rebels in the city have already fought among themselves. Some of the rebels retreated westward and were defeated by me, while some remained in the city. I suggest attacking the city immediately."

    Guo Wei, the head of the Sixth Banner of the Cavalry, took the first step to capture the barracks outside the city, and defeated some of the rebels who were trying to retreat westward, so he was familiar with the situation.

    "Okay, first, the second banner battalion will attack from the east gate!"

    The First Banner Regiment is the main force of the Qinghe Army. Although some elites were transferred to form a new Banner Regiment, their combat effectiveness is still strong.

    Following Zhou Ba's order, the two banner battalions and 10,000 Qinghe troops quickly spread out, and under the cover of arrows, they quickly approached the east gate of Pingyong Mansion.

    "The thief army is coming up!"

    "Archers are ready!"

    The rebel army at the head of the city had just experienced internal strife. Many soldiers hurriedly transferred to the city wall. When they saw the Qinghe army rushing in, their faces were tense, and their hearts were quite nervous.

    If the rebel lieutenant general Lu Jiang and the generals were alive, the rebels would have a unified army, and it would not be a problem to defend Pingyong Mansion.

    But now the rebel army has just experienced internal strife and has no backbone, so the morale of the army is quite chaotic now.

    Although reluctantly standing on the top of the city and preparing to fight, they really have no confidence in whether they can stop the Qinghe army.

    When the attention of the rebel soldiers at the head of the city was attracted by the Qinghe Army outside the city, the brothers of the Qinghe Army's Sharp Blade Assault Brigade hidden in the city appeared from everywhere again.

    Earlier they attacked the generals of the rebel army, created chaos in the city, and then hid.

    Now when I heard the drums shaking outside the city and the horns sounding, I knew that the main force of the Qinghe army had arrived.

    Therefore, Crazy Cheng, the captain of the Blade Assault Team, gathered all the brothers and headed towards the east gate as agreed.

    "Stop! Are you from that unit?!"

    Seeing a large number of people armed with weapons appearing at the intersection, a rebel officer who was in charge of blocking the streets near the city gate yelled at him from a distance.

    The rebel army did not have a unified military uniform, and each unit wore a variety of styles.

    So the rebel officer thought that Madman Cheng and the others belonged to another army.

    The rebels have just experienced internal strife, and they don't trust their friendly troops, so they remain vigilant.

    "Do it!"

    Seeing the rebel soldiers who were facing the enemy, Madman Cheng smiled, showing his dark white teeth.

    Dozens of Qinghe Army brothers behind Madman Cheng quickly raised the crossbows in their hands, and pulled the trigger on the rebels guarding the street.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    The sound of piercing the air sounded, and dozens of sharp arrows immediately enveloped the rebels guarding the street, and the rebel soldiers fell down a large area amidst screams.

    The few surviving rebel soldiers didn't expect the Qinghe Army's crossbows to be so sharp, they turned pale with fright, and then fled away in the distance.

    "Puff!"

    However, they only stumbled and ran a few meters away when the arrow pierced their bodies from their backs.

    Their bodies ran forward a few more steps by inertia, and then they fell to the ground.

    Crazy Cheng and the others stepped over the corpse with their swords in their hands, and rushed towards the city gate quickly.

    "There are enemies in the city!"

    "Block them!"

    Just now, the screams at the intersection of the street have already made the rebels near the city gate very vigilant.

    At this moment, seeing a large number of unknown people killing towards the city gate, the rebel officers guarding the city gate also roared loudly.

    There were two rebel centurions guarding the city gate, and they quickly formed formations, trying to defend the place.

    But as soon as they formed the formation, a wave of crossbow arrows passed by, and they were all killed and wounded.

    The Blade Assault Brigade is equipped with bows and crossbows developed by the Qinghe Army, which are accurate and fast.

    Often before close hand-to-hand combat, the enemy has been defeated by the bow and crossbow.

    The rebel soldiers also knew the importance of the city gate. Although there were many casualties, the remaining rebels still fiercely did not retreat, but drew their swords to fight.

    Crazy Cheng, the captain of the Blade Assault Brigade, took the lead and led the brothers of the Blade Assault Brigade to fight with the rebels near the city gate.

    "Pfft!"

      "Ah!"

    Crazy Cheng blocked a rebel's saber from slashing at his neck, and then sliced ??off the opponent's arm with one blow, causing blood to fly.

    The rebel soldier whose arm had been cut off screamed like a pig being killed, and was soon sent to see Lord Yan by another Qinghe Army brother without saying a word.

    In the face of these skilled Qinghe army sharp-blade assault brigade brothers, those rebel soldiers who advocated fighting alone were killed and defeated.

    The rebel battalion general at the top of the city also noticed the fighting near the city gate, and hastily mobilized a thousand-man team to come down the city ladder for reinforcements.

    Without the order of Madman Cheng, a squadron of sharp-edged assault brothers rushed up and blocked the rebels tightly, and a bloody battle broke out between the two sides.

    Crazy Cheng and the others quickly wiped out the rebels near the city gate, then pushed open the latch, and opened the east gate with a creaking sound.

    "Come on!"

    The 10,000 brothers from the two banner battalions of the Qinghe Army attacking outside the city had already rushed near the city gate.

    It's just that it is inconvenient to carry on a long-distance march. They only carried more than a dozen ladders, and they have not yet reached the top of the city.

    Seeing that Nei Ying opened the city gate at this moment, without the slightest hesitation, he quickly followed the city gate and entered Pingyong Mansion.

    "Take back the city gate!"

    The battalion general of the rebel army was extremely unwilling, and amidst the loud roar early, he personally led the troops and horses to try to take back the city gate.

    It's a pity that what they encountered was the First Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army, and the Qinghe Army of the First Banner Regiment was quite capable in close combat.

    The rebel troops guarding Pingyong Mansion were not the rebel elite tiger and leopard battalion, but regular troops.

    ? As soon as the two sides fought, they immediately judged each other. The rebel soldiers armed with simple weapons were no match for the elite infantry of the Qinghe Army who were armed to the teeth.

    Facing the sharp spears and sharp knives, although the rebels were brave, their flesh and blood could not stop them after all.

    Amidst the roar of the officers, the rebels rushed forward wave after wave, and soon fell into a pool of blood.

    The infantry of the Qinghe Army advanced steadily. Their faces were stern, and they remained silent during the battle. Their terrifying aura made the rebels terrified.

    Soon the counterattack of the rebel army was defeated, the general of the rebel battalion was also killed on the spot, and the rest of the rebel army fled in all directions.

    "The east gate has fallen!"

    "Zhang Ying will die in battle!"

    The news of the fall of the east gate quickly spread to several other city gates.

    While the rebels guarding these city gates were cursing, they also knew that the situation was over. Some cursed and packed up their things and prepared to flee for their lives.

    There are also some unwilling rebels led by officers, trying to rely on the buildings in the city to fight street battles with the Qinghe army.

    The various ministries of the rebel army did not have a unified command, so they fell into a situation of fighting on their own.

    The First Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army, under the leadership of Zhou Ba, the deputy commander of the army, quickly occupied the main streets and treasuries in the city and other strategic locations.

    ?After more than half a day of bloody fighting, the First Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army wiped out the organized resistance in the city, and began to wipe out the remnants of the enemy from street to house.

    Some of the rebels tried to leave the city and flee to the west, but as soon as they left the city, they were attacked by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, and then they were defeated. They became like bereaved dogs and fled all over the mountains.

    In the evening, the Qinghe Army had completely controlled Pingyong Mansion, and the battle flag of the Qinghe Army was planted on the top of the city.

    ? About 20,000 rebels stationed in Pingyong Mansion fled or died, and another 8,000 people became prisoners. It can be said that they suffered a disastrous defeat.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
