"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 967
Long Jun originally thought that relying on the high and thick Pengcheng Mansion, how could he be able to persist for ten and a half months.
Moreover, he carried out fortification and clearing of the territory. Many villages and towns were burned to ruins by him, and animal corpses were thrown into the water source.
It can be said that Long Jun used all the methods he could use, but these insidious methods were simply vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.
Facing the endless new weapons and equipment of the Qinghe Army and the superior strength of the brave and skilled troops, Pengcheng Mansion was also on the verge of collapse.
However, Li Lang, the commander-in-chief of the front line, intended to use Pengcheng Mansion as a battlefield for actual combat training, so each banner regiment took turns to attack.
The mighty army guarding Pengcheng Mansion was not strong, but they also suffered heavy losses in the face of round after round of fierce attacks by the Qinghe Army.
Every time they tried their best to repel the Qinghe army, another Qinghe army of the banner regiment entered the battlefield full of energy.
Facing such a wheel-to-wheel battle from the Qinghe Army, the troops under Long Jun had almost no chance to breathe, and had to grit their teeth and fight.
When the battle lasted until the evening, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Facing the Qinghe Army's another flag regiment attack, the defenders finally collapsed.
"Don't run away!"
"go back!"
The war supervisor team under Long Jun brandished their knives and kept blocking the routed soldiers, but they still couldn't stop them from being routed.
The bloody remnants of the mighty army threw away their weapons and leather armor, and became deserters one by one, unwilling to continue fighting.
Because they knew very well that if the fight continued like this, they would all die on the city wall.
Eighteen thousand of the 30,000 mighty troops guarding Pengcheng Mansion were killed in one day, and the city walls were already piled up with corpses, and there was not even a place for u to stay.
Facing such a high battle loss rate, the general army would have collapsed long ago. Long Jun insisted on letting the supervising team force the troops to fight to the death.
But in the end the army collapsed, and Long Jun and the others couldn't stop it at all.
His Royal Highness Long Jun also personally beheaded more than a dozen soldiers who fled the battle position, but it was still to no avail.
After all, these soldiers are also living people. They are desperate in the brutal battle, and there is no hope of surviving, but they want to survive, so they want to escape from this bloody battlefield.
A large number of Qinghe troops rushed to the top of the city stepping on corpses and blood. They planted the black battle flag at the highest position, and then marched towards the city to attack.
"His Royal Highness, let's go, the bandit army has already entered the city, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Those surviving generals of the mighty army saw a large number of Qinghe troops coming along the street in the distance, and they also pulled Long Jun to retreat.
Long Jun originally thought that relying on the solid city defense and elite army, it would not be a problem to defend for ten and a half months.
However, he never imagined that the Pengcheng Mansion fell in just one day.
Seeing through the rain curtain a large number of Qinghe army troops marching in from a distance, Long Jun couldn't help but roared up to the sky, extremely unwilling.
"Quickly bring His Royal Highness to break through!"
Seeing the figure of the Qinghe army appearing on the corner of the street in the distance, the officers of the mighty army dragged Long Jun and ran away.
The Qinghe army surrounded Pengcheng Mansion with three gaps, and deliberately left a passage for the remnants of the mighty army to escape.
Facing the mighty army and common people who fled in panic, Li Lang did not order the army to pursue them.
Difficulty in pursuit in the dark is one factor, and another reason is that Li Lang hopes that these mighty army routs who escaped will help them.
?Because these mighty troops fought a bloody battle with the Qinghe Army, they learned how powerful the Qinghe Army was, and also saw the sharp weapons and equipment of the Qinghe Army.
Without the Qinghe Army's instruction, they will definitely publicize the strength of the Qinghe Army everywhere. Wherever they go, the mighty soldiers must be in danger, which will greatly dampen the morale of the rest of the mighty army.
There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, and fighting on the battlefield is only one of them. Those routs that Li Lang let go must be like the plague, bringing back the panic.
Long Jun, His Royal Highness, was able to escape from Pengcheng Mansion safely, but the army under his command suffered heavy casualties. Except for the guards who had been following him, everyone else fled in all directions.
The Qinghe Army occupied the fortified city heavily guarded by the Mighty Army in just one day, and the Qinghe Army hadn't exhausted its full strength, which also allowed the representatives of the rebel army to truly seeThe strength of the Qinghe Army.
After the Qinghe army led by Li Lang occupied Pengcheng Mansion, they rested here for a day and held a summary meeting of the siege battle.
When Li Lang and the others were summing up the battle in Pengcheng Mansion, the 13th Banner Cavalry Regiment led by Deputy Commander Lei Ming wiped out 5,000 mighty cavalry cavalry at a distance of 100 miles from Pengcheng Mansion.
These 5,000 Mighty Army cavalry originally wanted to detour to the rear of the Qinghe Army and attack the Qinghe Army's supplies.
After all, there are many soldiers in Qinghe, and once the food and supplies are in an emergency, they will definitely retreat.
This was the earliest battle plan formulated by Long Jun. The mission of the five thousand cavalry was to attack the Qinghe army's supplies.
However, their whereabouts have already been grasped by the Qinghe Army Intelligence Investigation Institute, and they have not escaped the Qinghe Army's eyes since they left Pengcheng Mansion.
The 13th Cavalry Banner Regiment led by Deputy Commander Lei Ming launched an ambush on the 5,000 mighty cavalry on the preset battlefield.
After an almost one-sided massacre, the 5,000 mighty cavalry was wiped out, and the sniper troops led by Long Jun were completely lost.
The Qinghe Army conquered the heavily fortified Pengcheng Mansion within a day. After the news spread, Luyang Province was also shaken.
?The high-ranking officials and nobles in various prefectures and counties dragged their families and fled to the provincial capital to seek refuge. The defeated soldiers also publicized the strength of the Qinghe Army along the way, causing towns along the way to flee when they saw the Qinghe Army.
There was even a county town where a thousand local garrison troops were stationed. Just seeing a few scouts from the Qinghe Army, they were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled.
The Qinghe army became famous in the first battle in Pengcheng Mansion. When the army led by Li Lang continued to advance northward, almost everywhere it went was an empty city without defense, because the local officials and defenders had fled.
And those common people heard that the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ziang had come back, and they all celebrated with their crowns, and opened the city gates to welcome the Qinghe Army enthusiastically.
As always, the Qinghe Army's military discipline was strict and Mingqiu did not commit any crimes, which further convinced the people that this army was the one led by Chen Zi'ang back then.
The Qinghe Army has a good reputation in Luyang Province, so wherever they go, the enemy flees without a fight, the people welcome them warmly, and the whole area seems to be celebrating a festival.
When the Qinghe army marched forward triumphantly, King Ning, who received the news of the fall of Pengcheng Mansion, was also terrified.
After hearing what his son Long Jun said, King Ning also realized the strength of the Qinghe Army. Even if he brought back all the troops from the north, he might not be able to defeat the Qinghe Army.
Facing such a powerful army, King Ning had to urgently send someone to ask for help from the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court's army could intervene in Luyang Province and assist the mighty army to stop the Qinghe army.
