"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1018
More than 10,000 rebel cavalry were besieged by regiments. Facing the strangling of nearly 20,000 elite Qinghe troops, the battle continued until dark.
In the end, only more than a thousand rebel cavalry fled south in embarrassment, and the rest of the rebel cavalry were all killed by the Qinghe Army on the spot.
When the battle was over, corpses were strewn all over the battlefield, bleeding and drifting oars, and broken weapons and overturned flags were everywhere.
Seeing the layers of horses and enemy corpses, Li Changqing, the commander of the advancing column, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They survived from the dead and took great risks to create conditions to ambush and kill more than 10,000 rebel cavalry. It is a fluke to be able to achieve such a victory.
If there were other ways, Li Changqing would never take such a big risk with his brothers.
Because in this area with flat terrain, once any of their arrangements are neglected, the counterattack of the rebel cavalry may lead to another result.
At that time, his 20,000 brothers would probably die in one battle. Fortunately, they were lucky and ambushed and killed more than 10,000 rebel cavalry.
Chief of Staff Zhou Han was also extremely nervous during the battle. After all, infantry faced cavalry, especially in this terrain, infantry had always been slaughtered.
But now they have defeated the rebel cavalry. For them, this is not just a simple victory, but also a precedent for ambushing cavalry in flat terrain.
Of course, this kind of ambush is not easy to be replicated. This wilderness is full of lush vegetation, which is the key to their ambush.
If the rebels woke up a little bit and sent scouts and cavalry to investigate, they might not be able to ambush and be wiped out instead.
Fortunately, the rebel army marched all the way in a hurry to pursue them, and they didn't have time to send scouts to investigate ahead, which allowed them to take advantage of the loopholes.
Ambushed and killed more than ten thousand rebel cavalry, Li Changqing and the others also lost more than a thousand brothers.
Naturally, there was no way to take away the corpses of these brothers. According to the practice of their Qinghe army, they took away the urn after sparking on the spot.
The battle resulted in a relatively large loss of rebel cavalry horses, and many horses died in the brutal battle.
In the end, Li Changqing and the others captured more than 2,500 usable war horses, and the dead war horses also provided them with a lot of meat.
It was already late at night after cleaning the battlefield, and Li Changqing and the others were too tired.
Knowing from the captured rebel wounded soldiers that the rebel cavalry went all the way, this made Li Changqing and the others feel relieved.
After they rested until dawn, regardless of the soreness and exhaustion all over their bodies, Li Changqing and the others started marching northward again.
This time, there were more than 2,000 horses to help haul supplies and wounded soldiers, which made them move a lot faster.
In the early morning of the next day, their blood-stained army passed through the border market town and entered the territory of Baishan Province.
?The Baishan Province is named for the north-south Baishan Mountains, with numerous branches and veins, resulting in many mountains and valleys in the Baishan Province.
Most of the towns and cities in Baishan Province are built in river valleys, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
After Li Changqing and the others entered Baishan Province, they quickly got in touch with the local Far East Chamber of Commerce.
Li Changqing and the others took a long detour because of their sudden change of course after leaving Hezhong Province, disrupting their original plan.
Seeing that Li Changqing and the others did not arrive in Baishan Province according to the agreed time, the person in charge of the Far East Chamber of Commerce here was also very anxious, and kept sending people to the territory of Pingyang Province to inquire about news.
However, in an era when traffic is blocked and roads are difficult to travel, and information transmission is slow, it can be said that it is as difficult as heaven to find such an army in a short period of time.
The head of the Far East Chamber of Commerce in Baishan Province once thought that Li Changqing and the others were wiped out somewhere.
After all, it can be said that it is extremely dangerous for their army to pass through the enemy-occupied area all the way.
But what they didn't know was that Li Changqing and the others had turned upside down in the Lancang province, and won several battles, making the local enemies circle around.
Until Li Changqing and the others entered the territory of Baishan Province, the rebel base camp did not find out the identities of Li Changqing and the others.
Especially when the rebel emperor Longtian's personal guard cavalry unit was also killed and almost wiped out, he was also shocked. He urgently dispatched tens of thousands of cavalry from the northern army on the front line to search for these soldiers in Lancang province. an enemy.
BiAfter all, this enemy is under the banner of the imperial guards. Once they gain a foothold in Lancang province, they will definitely threaten their rear.
Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Northern Army, they rushed to the Lancang Province non-stop, and conducted a large-scale search for the prefectures and counties that may be hiding the enemy.
The Zhendong Army also mobilized many infantry units to join in the blockade and search operations, but to their disappointment, no trace of this enemy was found in the end.
The search team reported that this group of enemies may have entered the territory of Baishan Province, but the situation in Baishan Province is more complicated, and it is even more difficult to find them.
The rebels don't have so much energy to look for it now, so that the enemy in Lancang Province, who finally made a big fuss, became an unsolved case because of their unknown identities.
?Because the front line was in a hurry, the Northern Army cavalry unit searching in Lancang Province had to be transferred to the front line again.
Lancang province has restored its former peace, but in Baishan province, with the arrival of the Qinghe army led by Li Changqing, the situation here has become even more confusing.
The Far East Chamber of Commerce has long entered Baishan Province and established a branch in the capital of Baishan Province.
Because the Far East Chamber of Commerce is omnipotent and can get all kinds of scarce items such as salt, iron, food, weapons, etc., all forces are relatively friendly to the Far East Chamber of Commerce.
Under the cover of the chamber of commerce, their intelligence work has penetrated into every aspect.
If it is said that the southern region is dominated by the intelligence investigation institute, then in the northern region, the intelligence work of the Far East Chamber of Commerce is even better.
Chen Ziang is also happy to let the two intelligence systems develop independently of each other, and it is also beneficial to have a competition with each other.
After Li Changqing arrived in Baishan Province, he also personally met with the branch president of the Far East Chamber of Commerce here.
The branch president here is none other than Shen Lian, the eldest brother of Shen Xiuxiu, the president of the Far East Chamber of Commerce.
The eldest son of the former richest man in Qinghe Province has gone through a lot of tempering, and he is no longer the prodigal kid who only knew how to play, but has become the head of the chamber of commerce in Baishan Province.
"There are many mountains, rivers and valleys in the Baishan Province, and there are many primitive dense forests. At present, in addition to the wolf cavalry and Zhendong Army, there is also a legion of our Rebel Alliance, with tens of thousands of bandits and more than 50 stocks."
Sub-chairman Shen Lian also introduced the situation here after meeting with Standing.
"With so many bandits, isn't everyone a bandit?"
Hearing that there are more than 50 gangsters with tens of thousands of people here, Li Changqing's jaw almost dropped in shock.
"It turned out that there weren't so many of them. After the wolf cavalry and Zhendong Army fought in Baishan Province, the common people were conscripted for food. If they couldn't survive, they turned into bandits one after another, or formed villages to protect themselves." Shen Lian introduced road. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
