    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 949

    The cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army were divided into seven groups and swept across all towns in Luyang Province. It was unstoppable for a while.

    The cavalry unit of the Qinghe Army also followed the order of the deputy commander Lei Ming, that is, to attack forward at the fastest speed.

    When they encountered towns with weak defenses, they directly launched a surprise attack and then wiped out the defenders.

    The main function of their cavalry is to use it as an assault force, so after they attacked these towns, they did not occupy them, they just defeated and wiped out the defenders, and continued to attack after replenishing them.

    The cavalry of the Qinghe Army swept across the towns without occupying them, while the infantry of the Qinghe Army fell far behind, which caused many towns to be defenseless for a while.

    And the speed at which the cavalry of the Qinghe Army moved forward made the defenders and officials of the mighty armies all over the place speechless.

    Officials in many places learned that the cavalry of the Qinghe Army were still hundreds of miles away, but often in one night, the Qinghe Army could kill them right under their noses.

    The Qinghe army defeated the defenders everywhere with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and those local officials also fled for their lives one after another. Panic spread rapidly in the southern part of Luyang Province.

    The Qinghe army did not capture all the towns. When they encountered those towns that were well-prepared, they just bypassed them and didn't bother to pay attention.

    After all, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army knew very well that their advantages lay in speed and field combat, not in siege.

    ?It is not the style of the Qinghe army to attack their own strengths with their own shortcomings, they are more willing to beat the dog in the water.

    Long Ze, the former general of the Mighty Army, personally led two corps to go to Nanxiao Mansion to reinforce the front line, but before he arrived at Nanxiao Mansion, he realized that something was wrong.

    ?Because urgent documents from all over the place flew in like snowflakes, and the speed of the Qinghe Army's advance and the sharpness of the attack were unprecedented for him.

    Longze, the former general of the mighty army, after comprehensively studying and judging the situation, realized that the Qinghe army was attacking with all its strength.

    So even if he went to defend Nanxiao Mansion, he would probably be surrounded by heavy siege by then, unable to escape the situation of destruction.

    Therefore, Long Ze, the former general, simply did not do anything, and directly led the two corps under his command to turn back the same way and go straight to Yingzui Peak.

    Facing the urgent situation in various places, Long Ze didn't know how many Qinghe troops came, anyway, the strength of the troops has greatly exceeded his expectations.

    Under such circumstances, relying on this little force in his hand, there is no way to stabilize the situation, because all places are asking for help, and his force is stretched, so he can't rescue every place.

    So he simply put oil on the soles of his feet, prepared to retreat to Yingzui Peak, guard the dangerous terrain of Yingzui Peak, and directly gave up these prefectures and counties in the south of Luyang Province.

    The two corps led by Long Ze turned back the same way, and the Wuqing camp did not go back, and quickly retreated northward in the direction of Yingzui Peak.

    And the other infantry regiment they went to Yongning Mansion did not have such good luck.

    This infantry regiment originally went to reinforce the front line of Yongning Mansion with the Eighth Cavalry Regiment.

    When the Eighth Cavalry Corps was destroyed, they didn't even know that the cavalry of the Qinghe Army had rushed over, so they still went to the front line according to the original plan.

    When a banner battalion led by the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, Fatty Lu, was charging forward, the scout Qingqi discovered this mighty army.

    "Destroy them!"

    When he learned that 10,000 mighty troops were marching south along the official road, Fatty Lu didn't even think about it, and directly led 5,000 light cavalry to rush forward.

    Although the cavalry of the Qinghe Army has only 5,000, while the Mighty Army has 10,000, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is very different.

    Some troops in the Mighty Army were reorganized by the private soldiers of the rich and powerful families, but most of them were young and strong recruited by force.

    Especially when this mighty army was attacked by cavalry while marching in a line along the official road, the result was self-evident.

    When the 5,000 Qinghe Army appeared in the sight of these mighty cavalry, they thought they were their own cavalry.

    However, when the cavalry of the Qinghe Army approached, the mighty army scouts who went up to meet them realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to warn.

    The infantrymen of the mighty army who were marching had no time to gather in formation at all, and the Qinghe army had already slaughtered them.

    Under several rounds of strong bow and crossbow shooting, the panicked mighty infantry unit suddenly became a mess, causing a large number of casualties.

    Then the cavalry of the Qinghe Army attacked them and quickly defeated themup.

    The troops of this mighty army were defeated without even organizing an effective resistance, and then the Qinghe army pursued them.

    In just half a day, the cavalry unit of this banner battalion led by Fatty Lu completely wiped out this mighty army unit, taking more than 6,000 prisoners.

    One day later, a banner battalion led by Lei Ming captured the capital of Yongning Prefecture in Luyang Province, and beheaded more than 200 officials under the admiral appointed by King Ning.

    The cavalry troops rushed all the way as if entering no one's land, and they even ran ahead of many enemy routs.

    The main force of the infantry of the Qinghe Army led by Li Lang followed closely behind, occupying towns one by one, and planted the flag of the Qinghe Army.

    In the direction of Nanxiao Mansion, Deputy Commander Wang Cheng was not far behind. After defeating the First and Fifth Corps of the Mighty Army, the four banner regiments he led also surrounded the capital of Nanxiao Mansion.

    Within a week, nine of the twelve regiments deployed by the Mighty Army in the southern part of the province were wiped out by the Qinghe Army, and most of the area fell into the hands of the Qinghe Army.

    The mighty army deployed two defense lines in the south of the province that were said to be indestructible. Under the fierce attack of the Qinghe army, they were torn to pieces like paper.

    Long Ze, the former general of the mighty army who was in charge of guarding the southern region, led his remnants to Yingzui Peak like a bereaved dog.

    As far as Longze is concerned, as long as Yingzui Peak is guarded, they can take back the southern counties at any time.

    Once Yingzui Peak falls, the Qinghe Army will be able to cross here and drive northward, threatening other areas in Luyang Province.

    When the Qinghe army swept across the southern part of the province, and Longze and the retreating mighty armies retreated all the way to Yingzui Peak, Yingzui Peak was still a calm scene.

    Because the messenger sent by Longze to Yingzui Peak to ask them to strengthen their defense has been intercepted and killed by the hidden brothers of the Operation Executive Division of the Qinghe Army Intelligence Investigation Institute.

    The Qinghe army is naturally very aware of the importance of Yingzui Peak. When Chen Ziang led the troops southward, the entire army was almost wiped out here.

    Because there were chasing soldiers behind them at that time, and the 20th Corps of the People's Army blocked Yingzui Peak in front.

    Fortunately, Chen Ziang and the others were able to tear open an escape hole in the bloody battle in the end, and they were able to continue going south.

    This time when the Qinghe Army launched a large-scale military operation in the southern part of the province, the rebel army in Luyang Province also quietly gathered towards Yingzui Peak.

    These rebels were also secretly supported by the Qinghe Army, and the leaders Du Xiaoniu and Zhou Ting were both generals from the Qinghe Army.

    They got the order to seize Yingzui Peak and cut off the retreat of the mighty army in the south of Luyang Province, so as to achieve the combat goal of completely annihilating them.

    At this moment, in the dense forest not far from Yingzui Peak, more than 6,000 rebels dressed in rags like beggars are hiding here. They are eyeing Yingzui Peak not far away, and they are preparing to attack here and cut off the enemy in the southern area.  retreat.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
