"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 954
The troops led by two powerful generals of the Qinghe Army, Zhou Ting and Tang Ping, raided and occupied the Yingzui Peak Pass, blocking the retreat of the mighty army in the south of the province.
The Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army who arrived here launched a fierce attack on the Yingzui Peak pass. Unfortunately, the pass is strong and they lack the equipment to attack the city.
The battle lasted until dark, and the mighty army had no choice but to pass the Yingzui Peak pass after losing their troops.
"Quickly report to the general, the bandit army has captured Yingzui Peak¡ª"
The situation took a turn for the worse, and the head of the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army had no choice but to send a fast horse to report to the former general Long Ze to inform him of the situation here.
"Recruit the young and strong peasants nearby, build siege equipment, and attack tomorrow!"
The importance of Yingzui Peak is also self-evident, so the head of the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army also issued a series of orders after nightfall.
The exhausted soldiers of the mighty army lit torches and felled trees to make siege equipment, and the nearby villages and towns also suffered.
Countless people, young and strong, were forcibly conscripted into the barracks by the mighty army, and they were going to assist the mighty army in attacking at that time.
Zhou Ting and the others guarding Yingzui Peak were not idle either. Although they repelled the mighty army's attack, they also knew not to be careless.
The army led by Zhou Ting guarded the south wall of Yingzui Peak, while the army led by Tang Ping guarded the north wall of Yingzui Peak.
They also took advantage of the time when the mighty army was building siege equipment, and took the time to rest and prepare for the battle.
But before dawn, a long dragon of torches appeared in the wilderness north of Yingzui Peak, and an army was rapidly approaching Yingzui Peak.
"Master Banner, there are enemies approaching!"
Tang Ping was guarding the north wall of Yingzui Peak. After he was awakened by the night watch officer in his sleep, he went straight to the wall.
It turned out that during the daytime, the defeated mighty army on Yingzui Peak ignited the enemy's beacon, so a mighty army stationed in the nearest one rushed to reinforce.
Seeing the torch dragon approaching quickly, Tang Ping, head of the Second Independent Banner, looked serious. He estimated that there were at least four to five thousand people on the other side.
"Switch, the brothers from the First Banner Battalion go and hide in the flanking woods, hurry up!"
? As the head of the Second Independent Banner of the Qinghe Army, Tang Ping has been leading the army to fight against the mighty army behind enemy lines in Luyang Province. His grassroots combat experience can be said to be extremely rich.
When he saw this mighty army rushing to Yingzui Peak overnight, he wanted to take advantage of this mighty army's unknown situation and take the initiative to attack and defeat them.
The brothers of the Second Independent Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army have been behind the enemy lines on weekdays, so they never take off their saddles or armor at night, ready to fight or move anytime, anywhere.
Therefore, when Tang Ping's order was issued, the brothers of the First Banner Battalion knew that the enemy was approaching, and in fact they had all assembled.
?The closing gate on the north side was pulled up, and more than 2,500 brothers from the First Banner Battalion rushed out like a tide and fell into the darkness.
After the brothers from the First Banner Battalion left, the thick closed door fell again, and the long torch dragon in the distance also approached.
This mighty army also unsheathed their swords and swords. They just sent a group of more than a hundred soldiers close to the wall, trying to force the door to enter the Yingzui Peak Pass.
The crossbowmen led by Tang Ping were guarding behind the battlements of the pass wall. Originally, they wanted to pretend to be the mighty army and ambush the reinforcements of the mighty army who didn't know the situation. Who knew they were so cautious.
Tang Ping naturally wouldn't open and close the door, because once the door was opened and closed, these mighty soldiers would rush in, and there would be nowhere for him to cry.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following Tang Ping's order, the whistling sound of swishing arrows resounded in the night.
The more than a hundred soldiers of the mighty army who came to test were unable to dodge in time, screaming and falling into a pool of blood one by one, and several survivors fled back rolling and crawling.
"Sure enough, this place has already been captured by the enemy!"
In the light of a torch, a battalion general of a mighty army stared at the wall of Yingzui Peak, and his face sank.
"Send the order to go on and attack!"
The battalion general of this mighty army gave a cold shout, and immediately ordered an attack on the north wall of Yingzui Peak.
The mighty army who arrived along the way carried some shield vehicles and ladders, and immediately started attacking with torches.
Tang Ping and the others are also ready to fight, countlessBows and crossbows were thrown at these attacking mighty troops, nailing them to the ground one by one.
Hearing the thunderous shouting and killing on the north wall of Yingzui Peak, the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army on the south side of Yingzui Peak was also very motivated. They knew that reinforcements must come from the north.
"Assemble, attack!"
While excited, the head of the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army woke up the exhausted soldiers again, and held up a torch to attack Yingzui Peak from the south.
The Zhouting Independent First Banner Regiment guarding the south of Yingzui Peak also dealt a head-on blow to the attacking mighty army.
The battle unfolded in the dark night, the arrows were like locusts, and the fire illuminated the walls on both sides of Yingzui Peak. Countless mighty soldiers lurked to follow up and stormed Yingzui Peak.
After the fighting lasted for more than an hour, the offensive of the mighty army from the north was not as fierce as before. Just as they were about to withdraw to rest and attack after dawn, suddenly a low-pitched horn sounded in the darkness.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, a dense torch was lit not far from them, and countless rebel brothers with sharp knives rushed towards them.
And the closed door to the north also opened with a bang, and a sturdy army led by Tang Ping rushed out.
Under the joint onslaught of the two insurrectionary brothers, the exhausted Mighty Army was immediately defeated. After leaving behind countless corpses and equipment, they fled towards the distance.
Tang Ping and the others did not pursue the mighty army of the rout soldiers. Instead, they confiscated the spoils and returned to the pass immediately.
When the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army in the south was attacking, suddenly countless bloody heads were thrown from the wall, and there were also some armor staff flags.
When they saw the bloody heads and armored staff flags, they also knew that the reinforcements to the north had been defeated, and they retreated to the camp angrily.
The mighty army who had been tossing all night had no strength to attack again the next morning, but Zhou Ting and Tang Ping, who were guarding the officers, took a rare breath and took a rest.
When Zhou Ting and the others fought bloody battles with the Mighty Army at Yingzui Peak Pass, in the southern part of Luyang Province, most of the area had already fallen into the hands of the Qinghe Army.
The cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army swept across the prefectures and counties, and the defenders everywhere fled in a panic. A large number of refugees and defeated soldiers were rushing towards Yingzui Peak.
Together with these refugees, there were two regiments led by the former general Long Ze of the Mighty Army who flocked to Yingzui Peak.
The 11th and 12th Corps he led originally wanted to reinforce Nanxiao Mansion.
However, he received urgent news from various places along the way, and after comprehensive research and judgment, he realized the danger, so he took people away.
It was precisely because Long Ze led the two corps that they suddenly turned back and fled towards Yingzui Peak, so the cavalry of the Qinghe Army were in vain.
According to the battle plan of the Qinghe Army, after the Qinghe Army wiped out the troops of the mighty army in the border area, they encircled the camp in Wuqing County and wiped out the main force of the mighty army here.
When the cavalry of the Qinghe Army arrived at the camp in Wuqing County, they learned that Long Ze had led the troops to Nanxiao Mansion, so the cavalry of the Qinghe Army rushed to Nanxiao Mansion, preparing to cooperate with the infantry to encircle and wipe out the mighty troops of the two regiments.
However, he never expected that Long Ze would make a false move and retreat northward, causing the Qinghe army to miss again.
Although the cavalry of the Qinghe Army was empty, the infantry unit of the Qinghe Army moved quickly and occupied most of the prefectures and counties with great momentum.
