"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 983
"Master Lieutenant General, what should we do if the battlefield ahead blocks our retreat?"
The troops led by Zhou Ting of the Qinghe Army rushed forward and cut off the marching ranks of the mighty army, blocking the retreat of the mighty army.
?Because the provincial roads and surrounding areas were caught in a melee, it was difficult for the formed troops behind to pass.
Instead, they can concentrate their strength to join the battle, destroy the Qinghe army led by Zhou Ting, and open the way to retreat.
But they didn't have that much time, because Zhou Ting's headquarters had nearly 20,000 elite Qinghe troops, and it would be impossible to eat them in an hour or two.
And in the south there are still tens of thousands of Qinghe troops watching, and there are a large number of cavalry.
Once they are also dragged into the battlefield, the Qinghe army on the periphery will be able to rush forward, and it will be over by then.
Therefore, seeing the bloody battle between friendly troops and the 18th Banner Regiment led by Zhou Ting, instead of daring to go up to help, the mighty troops behind were thinking about how to pass here as soon as possible and retreat to the north bank of the river.
"Pass me the order to go around from the left!"
Seeing the smoke and dust billowing in front, the two armies were fighting without order. A deputy general of the mighty army pointed to the woods on the left, trying to let the troops go through the woods and detour.
"The lieutenant general has orders, go around through the woods!"
After receiving the order, the mighty army blocking the main road threw away their heavy vehicles and baggage, and flocked to the woods on the left with light clothes.
The woods are still a mile or two away from the sprawling battlefield, and they can bypass the battlefield and retreat north from here.
After the mighty army troops that were originally formed in four columns left the main road, there was no way to continue to maintain a complete formation.
They crossed the fields and ravines and rushed towards the left-wing woods in a mess. There were thousands of troops and horses, and it was also very lively.
When the mighty soldiers flocked to the forest, at this moment in this forest, a large number of Qinghe troops were also ambushing here.
The leader of this unit was none other than Tang Ping, head of the Independent Second Banner.
Following Zhou Ting's transfer to the new 18th Banner Regiment as the head of the regular field troops, Li Lang also merged the Independent First Banner Regiment and the Second Banner Regiment to form a new independent Second Banner Regiment.
?The Second Independent Banner Regiment now has more than 11,000 troops, and the head of the banner is Tang Ping.
These more than 11,000 brothers have all been trained on the extremely dangerous battlefield behind the enemy, which is much less successful than the regular army.
They had just returned to Jian and hadn't been issued the uniforms of the Qinghe Army. They were still dressed in a mess, and they looked like a group of rabble.
However, the brothers from the Second Independent Banner Regiment are all powerful, with a stern look in their eyes, and they are not good at first glance.
Seeing the soldiers of the mighty army getting closer, Tang Ping, the head of the Second Independent Banner, spat out the grass he was chewing.
"Archers are ready!"
Tang Ping, the leader of the banner, raised his right hand high, and suddenly, countless arrows shot out from among the weeds and bushes in the forest.
"Fire the arrow!"
Tang Ping's hand pressed down fiercely, and the archers arranged at the edge of the forest all loosened their bowstrings one after another.
A flash of cold arrows suddenly soared from the edge of the forest, enveloping the mighty army with the breath of death.
The soldiers of these mighty army trotted one by one, panting heavily, just wanting to retreat through the woods.
However, when they suddenly saw a wave of arrows attacking, they were caught off guard and fell down a large area.
The long arrow pierced through the body of the soldier of the mighty army, and clouds of blood mist rose up.
"There are bandits in the woods!"
"There are bandits ahead!"
Facing the continuous shooting of arrows from the woods, the soldiers of the mighty army also screamed in panic. Some people hurriedly raised their shields, and some panickedly dodged behind the earth beam.
"They are all archers of the bandit army, rush up and kill them!"
The deputy general of the Mighty Army saw the shadows in the woods and arrows flying out constantly, so he decided to take a risk and make an assault.
"superior!"
"Come on!"
The soldiers of the mighty army who were so frightened and lying on the ground rushed towards the woods murderously under the urging of the officers' kicks and beatings.
The soldiers of the mighty army braved the locust arrows to charge, and people were constantly shot and killed by the arrows, but the soldiers behindThe soldiers still went forward to charge one after another.
"Ready to fight!"
Seeing the mighty soldiers rushing up with swords and shields, Tang Ping, head of the Second Independent Banner, showed excitement on his face.
In the woods behind Tang Ping, more than ten thousand brothers dressed in wild weeds and branches stood there like savages. Amidst the sound of clanging weapons, countless bright long knives were raised.
"kill!"
The first batch of ferocious Mighty Army soldiers rushed into the woods, and they wanted to kill the Qinghe Army archers.
But what they didn't expect was that it was not the archers with weak melee capabilities that greeted them, but the brave and capable independent Second Banner Regiment troops.
The soldiers of the Mighty Army collided with the troops of the Second Independent Banner Regiment in the woods, flying blood and blood on the front line of the battle.
A steady stream of mighty troops rushed into the woods, and there were fierce clashes of weapons and shouts of killing in the woods, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides in the woods.
"My lord, the situation seems to be wrong."
A general of the mighty army also felt that something was wrong when he heard the loud shouts and battles in the woods.
Because if there were only some archers of the Qinghe Army inside, how could a large-scale battle break out.
Because archers are weak in melee combat, as long as they charge up, they can kill each other like melons and vegetables.
But now they have rushed in thousands of soldiers, the forest is like a huge black hole, constantly swallowing their soldiers, but there is no way out.
"Master Lieutenant General, there are a large number of bandits in the woods. General Zhang Can ask for reinforcements!"
Just when the lieutenant general and several generals under his command were in a daze, a soldier covered in blood rushed out and asked for reinforcements.
Seeing this bloody soldier, the deputy general of the mighty army also realized that there must be quite a few Qinghe troops in the woods.
However, his vanguard has already rushed in, and now he can't withdraw. If he changes direction, the thousands of brothers who rushed into the woods will probably have difficulty getting out.
"Looks like today is going to be a bloody battle!"
"Give me all, fight a bloody way!"
Under the leadership of the deputy general, thousands of mighty soldiers rushed into the woods and fought with the Second Independent Banner Regiment.
However, after a full half an hour, the fighting in the woods continued, which made the mighty army who followed behind realize that there was probably the main force of the Qinghe Army in the woods.
"There is no way to go here, order the troops to walk through the ditch on the right!"
Seeing that the battle on the forest side could not end for a long time, and the scale of the battle on the other side of the road was also spreading and expanding.
In order to leave here as soon as possible, Long Jiu led his regiment to turn around and go straight to the river ditch on the right, trying to bypass the fighting battlefield from there and leave as soon as possible. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
