"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 995
? As night fell, Liu Yan, the imperial general who was conquering the East, suddenly heard the commotion outside the manor where he was temporarily living, and he was also quite curious.
Hearing that the people he sent to snatch the Qinghe army's transport team had returned, they were also very happy, and they were going to see the gold, silver and jewelry for themselves.
When Liu Yan walked to the gate of the manor, he found that the generals under his command led a large group covered in mud and dust, and the defeated soldiers with broken armor gathered outside the manor, and there were no gold, silver and jewelry.
"what happened?"
Seeing their distressed appearance, Liu Yan, the general of Zhengdong, also frowned.
"General, we, we were ambushed by the bandit army, and most of the brothers were killed."
The leader of the Imperial Guards, the general, fled through the woods, his military uniform was cut into cloth strips by thorns, and he looked quite embarrassed.
"What?!"
Hearing that the people he sent not only failed to recapture the gold, silver and jewels, but was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, Liu Yan also showed anger on his face.
"General, calm down, we underestimated the enemy for a while, and were too busy chasing the convoy transporting gold, silver and jewelry, and didn't notice the ambush in the dense forest on both sides" The general also explained hastily.
"You more than five thousand elites, even if you are ambushed, you will not be so embarrassed, are you all idiots?!"
Seeing the five thousand elite being beaten to pieces, Liu Yan's face turned livid.
"General, I suspect that the Xishan side is the main force of the bandit army. They are all over the mountains and plains. We are indeed not opponents, and their gold, silver and jewels are hidden in the mountains."
In order to reduce his responsibility as much as possible, this general also deliberately exaggerated the number of Qinghe troops.
"You said that what you encountered was the main force of the bandit army?" Liu Yan obviously listened to this sentence.
"Yes, General, the bandit army has many soldiers and horses, and they are brave and good at fighting. They are far from being vulnerable like the ones we encountered before. We were defeated in battle, so we were defeated." The general added hastily. .
"Are you sure you are the main force of the bandit army?"
"I dare to guarantee with my head that it must be the main force of the bandit army."
"Okay, get up."
After Liu Yan heard the general's report, although he was angry, he also knew that if they really encountered the main force of the Qinghe Army, it would be justifiable for them to suffer a disastrous defeat.
"I didn't expect the main force of the bandit army to be hiding in the Western Mountains. Since we have encountered them, there is absolutely no possibility of them escaping."
If Liu Yan continues to advance in depth, these hidden main forces of the Qinghe Army's Independent Third Banner Regiment may pose a threat to their rear.
Originally, Liu Yan thought that he had defeated the Qinghe Army, but now he discovered that Xishan actually had the main force of the Qinghe Army of the Independent Third Banner Regiment, so he immediately changed his tactics and decided to wipe out the main force of the Qinghe Army here in one fell swoop to solve this hidden danger.
"Call the generals of the battalion to come here to discuss the matter."
Since the main force of the Qinghe Army's Independent Third Banner Regiment was found nearby, Liu Yan immediately decided to mobilize heavy troops to suppress it.
As long as the main force of the Qinghe Army's Independent Third Banner Regiment is resolved, the western part of the province will be theirs.
If these hidden Qinghe troops are not dealt with, once they continue to advance, these Qinghe troops are likely to jump out and threaten them again.
A large number of generals, including the generals and deputy generals of the Imperial Guard, soon gathered in the manor where Liu Yan lived, and held a meeting overnight.
Liu Yan also expressed his intention to wipe out the main force of the Qinghe Army's Independent Third Banner Regiment, and made deployments for the battalion.
The imperial guards have been fighting successively these days and have captured many towns. Now that they heard that the main force of the Qinghe Army is hiding in Xishan, and there are a lot of gold, silver and jewels, they are also full of fighting spirit and wish to fly over now.
Early the next morning, Liu Yan, the general who conquered the East, personally led the main force of the 70,000 imperial guards from Shuangshui Mansion, and went straight to the mountainous area of ??Xishan.
In order to be able to wipe out the Qinghe Army's Independent Third Banner Regiment hidden here in one fell swoop, Liu Yan's arrangements are also quite strict.
With the help of the admiral of Shuangshui Mansion, the guide also marked the key points of various mountain passes.
The Imperial Guards sent heavy troops to guard these mountain passes and passes, and then sent elite troops into the mountains to search for traces of the Qinghe Army in units of battalions.
Liu Yan set up his large tent of the Chinese army at the mountain pass of Xishan, and deployed 20,000 troops around it as a reserve team.??
The area of ??the mountainous area of ??Xishan is not very large, so Liu Yan has absolute certainty to wipe out the Qinghe army hiding in it, and seize their gold, silver and jewelry.
"General, the third battalion has spotted the traces of the bandits and is outflanking them."
In the afternoon, a battalion of the imperial guards sent back a report, that is, traces of the Qinghe army were found in a valley.
"Order the 4th, 5th, and 7th Battalions to encircle and make sure not to run away from the bandits!"
Seeing that the traces of the Qinghe Army were discovered so quickly, Liu Yan was also overjoyed, and hurriedly dispatched troops to outflank the Qinghe Army.
Du Xiaoniu, who was hiding in the Western Mountains, never expected that the imperial guards would mobilize heavy troops to encircle them.
? Their original idea was to hide in the dark and continue to harass and harass the imperial guards, accumulating small victories into big victories, in order to reverse the situation on the battlefield.
They fought a victory yesterday and wiped out thousands of Imperial Guards. When they were about to implement the next plan, they were surrounded by the Imperial Guards.
Facing the imperial guards who entered the mountain to encircle and suppress, Du Xiaoniu and the others had no choice but to actively deal with it while they were shocked.
"Master Banner Leader, a large number of imperial guards have also been spotted on the flank."
When Du Xiaoniu and the others were moving, a scout rushed out from the nearby dense forest and shouted loudly.
"Damn, I played with hawks all day, but the hawks pecked my eyes out!"
Hearing that the imperial guards were outflanking them, Du Xiaoniu couldn't help cursing angrily.
"Master Banner Leader, we can't continue to move forward. Once they detour their troops and get in front of us, we will become entrapped." Chief of Staff Pang Lun said solemnly.
"Throw away all the vehicles and supplies that transport gold, silver and jewelry, and we will fight lightly!"
After Du Xiaoniu pondered for a moment, he gave a decisive order.
"Master Banner, these gold, silver and jewels were seized by us after a lot of effort. It's a pity to throw them away like this."
"Do you want money or life?!" Du Xiaoniu couldn't help cursing.
Du Xiaoniu is very clear that under such circumstances, carrying these things is a burden instead, and he will continue to suffer from it.
As an independent commander, you must have the courage of a strong man to cut his wrists.
Under Du Xiaoniu's order, although the brothers of the Qinghe Army were extremely unwilling, they still carried out Du Xiaoniu's order, throwing away hundreds of carts of gold, silver, jewelry and luggage, all lightly packed. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
