"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 978
On the official road to the north of Luyang Province, cars rumbled and horses rustled, and a mighty and majestic army was marching southward. The banners covered the sky and the sun, and the erected spears looked like a forest.
Looking down from the sky, the mighty army marching all the way meanders into a long dragon with no end in sight, with a mighty and magnificent momentum.
There are more than 100,000 troops in this army, all of which are the main force of the mighty army returning from the front line of Hezhong Province to help the capital of Luyang Province.
When the army crossed the county, the local officials and gentry rewarded the army with wine and meat one after another to keep them safe.
However, the military discipline of the mighty army was loose, and many officers of the mighty army led some soldiers to the villages near the main road to plunder, burn and kill.
Wherever the mighty army passed by, the surrounding villages were looted and all their properties were looted, and there were even those arrogant soldiers who killed the people without authorization, making the people dare not speak out.
The commander-in-chief of this mighty army is Long Da, adopted son of King Ning, who turned a blind eye to those soldiers who burned, killed and looted, and didn't bother to take care of them.
Long Dazhi's army is different from others, that is, he doesn't care what they do to them on weekdays, but on the battlefield, he has to be brave and not afraid of death.
Therefore, these mighty troops under his command are usually scattered like a group of stragglers, but when they arrive on the battlefield, they turn into howling tigers and wolves.
Surrounded by all the generals, Long Da looked at the mighty and majestic army along the way, and his heart was full of pride.
Although he is the adopted son of King Ning, his prestige in the mighty army is very high because of his bravery and skill in fighting.
Now seeing that the eldest son Long Jun was sent to the capital as a hostage, Long Da's thoughts came alive.
In the past, the Mighty Army was mainly divided into two major factions. One was the soldiers and horses headed by the royal clan headed by the eldest son Long Jun. They mainly guarded the southern part of the province to guard against the Qinghe Army.
And the other is the army led by him, the commander of the Thirteen Taibao, who are on the front line of the river province, guarding the territory of the river province.
Although they all belong to the Mighty Army, in the eyes of Long Da and others, the eldest son Long Jun and the others are just a group of ignorant clan children, and they have never looked down on Long Jun and the others.
But they are the adopted sons of King Ning after all, and they cannot compare with Long Jun and the others in terms of status.
Now that Long Jun and those soldiers and horses who were the sons of the clan were completely wiped out by the Qinghe army, King Ning can only rely on them, the foster sons.
Long Da felt that he could also take advantage of this excellent opportunity to seize the power of the Mighty Army, take King Ning aside, and become the actual ruler of Luyang Province.
Thinking that he is about to turn himself over, and no longer need to live in fear, Long Da's face has an uncontrollable excitement.
After all, as a adopted son, no matter what he did in the past, he had to look at King Ning's eyes, and he was often bullied by his eldest son Long Jun.
But now he, Longda, has the support of many brothers and can command an army of more than 100,000. As long as he leads his troops to repel the Qinghe army, then he will no longer have to look at King Ning.
When Long Da was surrounded by all the generals and his face was full of excitement, he suddenly saw billowing black smoke rising from the village in the distance.
Seeing the billowing black smoke, Long Da couldn't help but frowned, and secretly scolded his brother for going too far, not to mention looting property, why burn the village.
"Go, take a look ahead."
Long Da kicked the horse's belly fiercely with both legs, and Xiong Jun's war horse galloped out with all four hooves, and more than a hundred personal guards and generals also rode their horses to keep up.
In just one cup of tea, they arrived at the village that was billowing with black smoke, and saw more than a hundred soldiers of the mighty army setting the village on fire.
And under the shade of the trees not far away, Long Wu, Long Liu and several officers were holding down several village women to the ground and laughing wildly.
Seeing Long Da approaching surrounded by the generals, Long Wu and Long Liu also raised their pants one after another, and strode towards him.
"Brother, this girl looks the most juicy, I'll save it for you, hehe."
Long Wu clapped his hands, and several soldiers of the mighty army pushed a woman with pear blossoms and rain to him.
Seeing this woman whose clothes were all torn, Long Da couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You have a conscience, I'll accept it."
"You don't want to be happy here, take a team of cavalry to the front to explore the road, and catch a few bandit soldiers and come back to see if the provincial capital is still in our hands." Long Da ordered.
Although Long Wu and Long Liu have cruel personalities and like women, they are also fierce when fighting, and Long Da likes them very much.
"No!"
After Long Wu and Long Liu responded, they immediately led more than a thousand mighty cavalry to break away from the main force, rolling up a large cloud of smoke and dust and disappearing into Long Da's field of vision.
King Ning, who is firmly guarding the provincial capital, has sent people several times to urge him to speed up the march to rescue.
Now that Long Da holds a large army in his hand, he already has the intention to set aside King Ning and stand on his own, so he didn't try his best to rescue him. He walked slowly along the way, not in a hurry at all.
If the provincial capital is captured by the Qinghe army and King Ning dies, he can use the banner of avenging King Ning to integrate the defeated soldiers under King Ning and become the overlord himself.
If King Ning is still alive, then after the fierce battle with the Qinghe army, it is estimated that the strength of the troops in his hands will be consumed, and it will be just right to take him by himself at that time.
So for Long Da, he actually doesn't care whether his adoptive father, King Ning, is alive or dead.
The reason why he led more than 100,000 powerful troops back to aid this time was not to save King Ning, but to take advantage of the trend.
But Long Da, who had his own little calculations, didn't know that while he was thinking of taking advantage of this battle to get back to power, the Qinghe army had already been eyeing him.
On the surface, the Qinghe Army was storming the provincial capital of Luyang, but in fact the main force of the Qinghe Army bypassed the provincial capital and waited on their only way.
In fact, only a few flag regiments led by Deputy Commander Zhou Ba stayed in the provincial capital to launch the attack.
The purpose of Li Lang, the front-line commander of the Qinghe Army, was to encircle and fight for reinforcements, and he aimed at the mighty army coming back from the Hezhong Province.
At this moment, not far from the mighty army along the way, the army led by Li Lang is already ready for battle.
The Qinghe army was quite well concealed, so after the two mighty generals of the dragon five and dragon six went out for a walk, they didn't find any abnormalities at all.
And the scouts of the Qinghe army were as slippery as loaches. They originally wanted to surround and catch a few to ask for some information, but they didn't catch any of them alive, which made Long Wu and Long Liu very depressed.
Fortunately, they caught some fleeing civilians and learned that the Qinghe army was attacking the provincial capital violently, and they heard that the dead were piled up like a mountain.
After receiving this information, Long Da was also very happy. The pile of dead people meant that the battle was fierce, which was exactly what he wanted. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
