    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 893

    ? As night fell, the two sides retreated again. After several days of brutal fighting, the battlefield was already filled with rotten meat and soaked soil.

    After a day of attacking and killing the soldiers of the rebel army, their losses were even heavier. Most of them died at the hands of crossbowmen and cavalry of the Qinghe Army.

    They rushed forward in batches, braving the arrows of the Qinghe army, but the arrows of the Qinghe army were like raindrops, and they continued to flow.

    The Qinghe army has now expanded the workshop that produced arrows into a factory, which can produce up to 10,000 standard arrows per day.

    In order to cope with the battles in Dongjiang Province, the Qinghe Military Supplies Department successively transported a large number of arrows to the battlefield. Now only the arrows equipped by the Third Field Army Corps are not comparable to the rebels.

    Now facing the powerful arrow attack of the Qinghe Army, the rebels are often shot to death by the powerful arrows before they can rush to the Qinghe Army.

    Even if they could threaten the crossbowmen of the Qinghe Army, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army would rush up and kill them.

    Under such repetitions, the rebels suffered heavy losses. In addition to losing more arrows, the Qinghe Army's casualties were greatly reduced compared with before.

    However, after fighting for a day, the Qinghe army was forced to retreat five or six miles, but the defense line was still solid.

    When the brothers of the Qinghe Army were fighting the rebels on the front line, Wang Cheng, the newly appointed deputy commander, commanded the temporary troops to dig trenches and build fences. He was so busy that everyone became clay figurines.

    But their achievements are also quite remarkable, that is, they dug criss-cross trenches in the rear, piled wooden piles everywhere, and set up horse-repelling fences.

    The Qinghe army's steelmaking skills are not yet mature, so the iron wire is still in the development stage. If these trench fences are wrapped with barbed wire, it will be another strong line of defense.

    After tens of thousands of people had a busy day, they also built a lot of trenches and fences, so that their defensive positions took shape.

    Chen Ziang, the general of the Qinghe Army, inspected various defensive positions, which was also a great compliment to Wang Cheng and the others.

    Wang Cheng and his soldiers were all recruited by the Southern Army, and they were considered inferior in the Qinghe Army.

    Now Chen Zi'ang not only promoted Wang Cheng, but also increased their sense of existence, so that these soldiers who voted over saw hope, so they were full of motivation.

    Constructing a defensive position is the first task of Wang Cheng, the deputy army commander, after taking office, so he also wants to do it well.

    In order to complete the task assigned by Chen Ziang as soon as possible, he shifted his team into three shifts, preparing to dig and set up positions around the clock.

    When Wang Cheng and the others were working hard, Liang Guanlin, director of the Military Supplies Department, also led the first batch of transport teams to the battlefield with supplies.

    These supplies were all landed from the nearby Dongjiang Province, and were escorted by the Guards cavalry of the Guards Banner Regiment.

    Chen Ziang only led more than a thousand cavalry to the battlefield first, while the Guards Cavalry Banner Battalion escorted the first batch of supplies and followed closely behind.

    The most important of these materials is the 5,000 engineer shovel, which is an engineer shovel developed by the military factory under the guidance of Chen Ziang.

    Although they only brought 5,000 engineering shovels, they also solved the urgent needs of Chen Ziang and the others.

    You must know that they are extremely lacking in tools for digging trenches, so their progress is not fast.

    Now that there are five thousand engineering shovels, Wang Cheng, the deputy army commander, is overjoyed and hastily distributed them.

    When the rebel army was resting after a day of exhausting fighting, the Qinghe army was still lighting torches, digging trenches and setting up positions in shifts.

    Marshal Yang Hao, the right marshal of the rebel army, knew that there was a lot of movement in the Qinghe army, so he also sent scout Qingqi to investigate the situation.

    It's just that the ranger scouts of the Qinghe Army shielded the battlefield, and if any rebel scouts approached, they would be strangled on the spot.

    So until dawn, Yang Hao, the right marshal of the rebel army, didn't know what the Qinghe army was doing.

    When they set up their formations to press up after dawn, they found that the Qinghe army had dug countless trenches and laid countless fences in the field, and the good places were full of gullies and ravines.

    "Hmph, trying to block us with these simple things is simply a dream!"

    Seeing that the Qinghe Army wanted to rely on these ditches to block their way, Yang Hao couldn't help but snort coldly.

    "Attack!"

    ? Yang Hao's defenses against the Qinghe Army are simplyLook down on him, he has a huge army under his command, even with a large number of people, he can fill up those trenches.

    Under Yang Hao's order, the rebels along the way took the lead in attacking the defensive positions built by the Qinghe Army.

    "The 1,000th Archer Squad, stop!"

    At this moment, Chen Ziang was sitting on a wooden sentry tower in the center of the position, overlooking the entire battlefield.

    Seeing the rebel troops rushing forward like a tide, he sneered and issued a military order.

    The messengers around Chen Ziang waved their flags, and more than a thousand archers arranged in a trench quickly bent their bows and set their arrows. The sharp arrows pierced through the fence and aimed at the rebel soldiers.

    "Whoosh whoosh!"

    Amidst the officer's cold shout, the arrow swished into the camp of the rebels, setting off a fog of blood.

    After the rebels killed and injured a lot of people, they still rushed forward without stopping. After shooting a few more waves, the archers retreated quickly after hearing Ming Jin's order.

    The rebels rushed to the fence with their teeth and claws open. They slammed and slashed at the fence, and soon broke into the position.

    It's just that there are ditches and fences everywhere in the position, and the influx of rebels can only continue to rush forward towards places that are easy to walk.

    "The 2,000th and 3,000th archers will cover the shooting area No. 1."

    "The First Banner Battalion and the Second Banner Battalion of the Twelfth Banner Regiment attack to cut off the retreat of the influx of rebels!"

    "The fourth archer, the fifth thousand, block the shooting!"

    "The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Banner Battalions of the Thirteenth Cavalry Banner Regiment attack from the flank!"

    Chen Ziang sat on the towering sentry tower. At this moment, he was like a rhythmic conductor. As he continued to issue orders, all units of the Qinghe Army quickly dispatched.

    Those rebels who poured into the position were hit by arrows in front of them, and were soon cut and besieged.

    They are not familiar with the defensive positions of the Qinghe Army, because there are ditches and fences everywhere, and some ditches are so deep that they cannot see the outside after entering.

    Sometimes they rushed forward, and the back road was cut off, and a large number of spearmen appeared around them, stabbing and stabbing at them.

    They finally protruded, and before they had time to catch their breath, another wave of arrows covered them.

    The rebels wanted to rely on a large number of troops to tear through the Qinghe Army's defenses, but it was obvious that after the huge and bloated rebels entered the defensive position, they immediately became the targets of slaughter.

    Under the command of Chen Ziang, all units of the Qinghe Army advanced and retreated freely. As the rebels attacked in depth, their situation became more and more difficult. The various arms of the Qinghe Army took turns cutting and besieging them, and the rebels suffered heavy losses.

    When the follow-up rebels finally repelled the blocking Qinghe army, they found that all the people who rushed in in front of them were dead, leaving corpses everywhere.

    The Qinghe Army's infantry, cavalry and archers formed hundreds of powerful attacking small troops. They sometimes advanced and sometimes retreated, flexible and fierce.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
