"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 955
Under the deep night, an army holding torches is marching northward in the dark wilderness.
The clothes of the soldiers in the team were covered with mud and dust, their faces were haggard and tired, their legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they were moving slowly.
This army that marched northward overnight was the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps of the Mighty Army, and their commander was Long Ze, the former general of the Mighty Army.
The two corps led by Long Ze rushed to Nanxiao Mansion first, and then retreated north halfway. They have been marching these days, so it can be said that they are exhausted.
But they knew very well in their hearts that they were not out of danger, and the troops of the Qinghe Army might catch up at any time.
Now they just hope to rush to Yingzui Peak as soon as possible. Only at Yingzui Peak, relying on the dangerous terrain, can they block the sharp Qinghe army.
"General, brothers really can't move anymore, can we set up camp on the spot and leave after dawn?"
Seeing that many soldiers of the mighty army were very weak, and some people kept falling behind, some officers of the mighty army rode their horses to the front of the former general Long Ze, asking for a rest.
Looking at the slow-moving army, Long Ze naturally knew that they had been on the road these days and were already exhausted.
However, he also knew that the tiger and wolf soldiers of the Qinghe Army might catch up at any time. Once the Qinghe Army caught up, it would not be so easy to leave.
"Send the order to go down and rest for an hour."
Long Ze himself was exhausted, he looked back at the pitch-black wilderness, and finally decided to take a temporary rest for an hour.
"The general has an order to rest in place for an hour!"
"The general has an order to rest in place for an hour!"
The messengers galloped out, and the orders were issued one by one. The marching soldiers of the mighty army seemed to have exhausted all their strength, and immediately lay on the side of the road in disarray, panting heavily.
Many soldiers of the mighty army fell into a deep sleep shortly after lying down, they were so tired.
"General, drink water."
Long Ze also got off his horse and sat down on a stone. A guard officer hurriedly handed over the water bag.
Long Ze took the water bag and raised his head to gulp a mouthful of clear water in his throat, only then did he feel much more comfortable all over.
"Where is the bandit army now?"
After Long Ze returned the water bag to the guard officer, he wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and asked.
"General, the county magistrate of Yangquan was in a hurry in the morning, saying that a large group of bandits had appeared in Yangquan, but now it is estimated that Yangquan has fallen." The guard officer replied.
"These thieves are rabbits, how can they run so fast." Long Ze couldn't help cursing secretly.
A few days ago, urgent documents from all over the place were sent to him like snowflakes, but with the passage of time, almost no urgent documents have been sent.
Longze has almost lost contact with the prefectures and counties now, and he reckons that the prefectures and counties in the southern part of the province are already in dire straits.
Thinking of the situation in the south of the province taking a turn for the worse, Long Ze, the former general, cursed inwardly.
I thought that Chen Ziang, the commander of the Qinghe Army, would be able to relax and relax when he held his wedding, but who knew that he was caught by the Qinghe Army's plan to deceive the sky and cross the sea.
Now that he has lost so many prefectures and counties in the south of the province, King Ning will definitely not forgive himself.
For the sake of being a child of the clan, although Nian could save his life, it would be impossible for him to take charge of the army in the future.
"Thieves, I am at odds with you!"
Long Ze cursed secretly, blamed all of this on the Qinghe army, and was full of resentment towards the Qinghe army.
When the troops led by the former general Long Ze stopped to rest, behind them, thousands of people also stopped to rest.
In the propaganda of the Mighty Army to the people, the Qinghe Army is the most heinous and murderous bandit.
Therefore, when they heard that the Qinghe army was coming, the common people dragged their families and fled northward with the army.
In the eyes of these people, it is safe to follow the army all the way to the north, because even if the Qinghe army catches up, the army can protect them.
Now seeing the army stop to rest, the common people whose legs are almost immobile have also got a chance to breathe.
Such a huge team was resting in the wilderness, with countless torches lit, and the noise of people and horses neighing, it was naturally quite attractive.
"Master Vice Banner Head, the front?? Situation! "
In a village not far from Longze's resting place, thousands of Qinghe Army cavalry were also resting, feeding their horses with fodder and water, when suddenly two scouts rushed into the village on light cavalry.
"what happened?"
Tan Feng, the deputy head of the Thirteenth Banner Regiment, was chewing jerky by the fire, and his expression froze when he heard the report from the scout brothers.
"Master Deputy Banner Head, ten miles ahead, there are a large number of fleeing civilians and many mighty troops." The scout brother said.
"how many people?"
After hearing this, Tan Feng, the deputy head of the banner, also stood up excitedly.
They tried to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Mighty Army, but failed several times, so they went north to pursue them.
Along the way, they did not find any trace of the main force of the mighty army. They originally planned to camp in the village and search northward the next day.
However, what Tan Feng never imagined was that it took no effort to find a trace of the mighty army here.
"It's too dark to see clearly, but there are at least tens of thousands of troops." Brother Scout replied.
"Looks like it's them!" Tan Feng judged.
The troops on the border of the Mighty Army were all wiped out by them in sevens and eighties, and all the prefectures and counties were also defeated by them.
It is estimated that there are troops led by Long Ze in the southern part of the province.
"Give me the order, assemble! Let's go up and kill them!" Tan Feng gave the order excitedly.
"Master Deputy Banner Commander, we only have five thousand brothers, and there are at least two regiments under Longze's command. The strength of the troops is too great. Should we wait for the Third Banner Battalion to come up from behind?" the commander of the First Banner Battalion said.
This time they used the banner battalion as a unit to divide their troops into battle, and Tan Feng, the deputy head of the banner, stayed in the first banner battalion and accompanied the first banner battalion in action.
After learning that Long Ze led the troops to flee north, all banner battalions pursued north from all directions.
Because they attacked various prefectures and counties scattered before, there is still a gap in the distance between them.
"They are still dozens of miles away from us, and when they come up, the day lily will be gone¡ª"
"There is no time to miss this opportunity. Let's go ahead. The mighty army has already become a frightened bird. Five thousand of us are enough to defeat them!"
"No!"
Tan Feng, the deputy head of the banner, insisted on rushing to fight, and the battalion commander of the first banner had no choice but to obey the order.
The 5,000 cavalrymen in black who were resting in the village quickly got on their horses, and immediately, like a whirlwind, they rushed towards the mighty army in the north.
When Longze and the others were about to set off again after taking a break, there was suddenly the sound of roaring horseshoes in the distance.
"what sound?"
The former general Long Ze suddenly stood up, staring at the darkness in the distance, his face suddenly became extremely serious.
"It seems to be cavalry!" An officer judged.
"Oops, the bandit cavalry must have caught up!"
"Extinguish the fire, withdraw to the north, hurry up!"
The former general Long Ze rushed to his horse in a hurry, and the soldiers of the mighty army also grabbed their weapons one after another, and it was too late to form a team, and fled north in panic.
