"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1046
"The bandit army is really a lot of people."
Seeing the flags of the Qinghe Army unfurling in the distance, with swords and guns like a forest, and the Imperial Guards watching the excitement under the shade of the trees on the hillside, they couldn't help expressing emotion.
In the past, the Qinghe army looked like a mob of rogues in their eyes.
Now, under the leadership of Chen Ziang, the Qinghe Army has been continuously increasing in strength and has already occupied the five provinces.
What is even more infuriating is that the Qinghe army seems to be more regular than the regular army in terms of training and equipment.
Let these tattered, old and young imperial guards also do not understand how the Qinghe army suddenly became so powerful.
"Although there are many thieves, there are also many of us. There are 70,000 troops stationed in Qingcheng Mansion alone, not to mention the surrounding prefectures and counties. It is said that there are at least 300,000 troops."
"But it is said that there are more than 300,000 bandits."
"It's just a group of thieves, don't look at their arrogance now, sooner or later they will be wiped out."
"That's right, sooner or later they will be destroyed!"
"I heard that the thieves robbed countless gold and silver treasures and shipped them all to Jiangbei Province. When we hit Jiangbei Province one day, those things will all be ours." A soldier of the Imperial Guard said with a smile.
"I think you are just dreaming. Even if you hit Jiangbei province and seized the treasure, the officials would have already swallowed it privately, and you still have your share?"
"The knife in my hand will not recognize anyone who will rob me at that time."
"If you touch a knife, you are rebelling and you will lose your head."
When the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were chatting and laughing under the shade of the trees on the hillside, a soldier of the Imperial Guard noticed that something was wrong in the distance.
"The thief army seems to have crossed the line?"
One of the imperial guards pointed to the Qinghe army who was conducting exercises in the distance, and spoke uncertainly.
The rest of the Imperial Guard soldiers who watched the excitement also looked over one after another, and saw that the cavalry of the Qinghe Army had indeed crossed the boundary marker on their border road, and rode their horses towards them.
"What are these thieves doing to scare us?"
Seeing the cavalry of the Qinghe Army galloping towards them, the guard soldiers all stood up one after another.
"I'm afraid the bandits are about to attack, so go back!"
Seeing that the cavalry of the Qinghe Army did not retreat as before, but sped up and galloped over, the expression of a hundred generals also changed.
"Blow the horn, warn!"
The soldiers of the imperial guards who watched the excitement also changed their expressions one after another. They grabbed their weapons in panic and rushed towards the town not far from them.
"Woooooooooooooo!"
Some buglers also blew their warning horns, and the guards wandering around the town also stopped, and immediately ran back to the camp in panic.
"Quick, the bandits are attacking!"
The guards who rushed back to the town shouted loudly, and the guards soldiers who were having fun in the gambling house and brothel heard the shouts outside, and stuck their heads out of the windows one after another, wanting to see what was going on.
Seeing the panicked and chaotic soldiers and civilians on the street, many of the guards soldiers who were flushed from drinking didn't even react.
It wasn't until they heard the officer's loud cold shout that they realized that something was wrong, they looked for weapons in a panic, and then prepared to return to the camp.
The vanguard of the Qinghe Army's attack was the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Guards, which was a strong force that had been fighting on the battlefield.
There was a dense sound of horseshoes on the street, and the guard soldiers who had just got out of the gambling house looked up and saw the sturdy black knights riding tall horses and carrying sharp swords.
"Oh my God!"
Seeing the cavalry of the Qinghe Army galloping towards them, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were so frightened turned around and went into the house again. Everyone knew that going out now would mean death.
Amidst the harsh sirens, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army in black and black robes swept past the streets of the town like a whirlwind.
In the screams and the rain of blood, many guards who couldn't dodge were killed on the spot.
The 1,000 Imperial Guards stationed here were defeated by the Qinghe Army without even organizing an effective resistance.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard who had lost many weapons fled the town in a hurry, trying to run towards the county town to the west.
But as soon as they escaped from the town, they found that the mighty cavalry of the Qinghe Army were passing by the flank of the town, with flags like the sea and swords like forests.The soldier's complexion suddenly turned pale.
"Put down your weapons and surrender, or shoot to kill!"
With the sound of hurried hooves, a group of Qinghe army cavalry in black robes and cavalry hats rushed out of the town and surrounded the defeated remnants of the imperial guards.
"Kangdang¡ª¡ª"
The soldiers of the Praetorian Guards also knew that heroes would not suffer immediate losses, and if they resisted, they would be chopped into pieces in minutes.
The soldiers with weapons threw away the weapons in their hands, while the soldiers without weapons raised their hands high.
This border town, where more than a thousand Imperial Guard soldiers were stationed, was originally intended to monitor the Qinghe Army on the opposite side and act as a warning.
However, the Qinghe army suddenly attacked in the name of an exercise, and captured this small town with lightning speed.
The soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were still watching the excitement just now became prisoners in an instant, and the three beacons they arranged here did not bother to ignite them.
After all, the Qinghe Army's frequent exercises made them paralyzed. Who knew that the Qinghe Army would suddenly launch an attack.
The more than a thousand imperial guards deployed here were defeated and captured by the Qinghe army without any warning, causing the imperial guards in the county behind to be unprepared.
When the cavalry of the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army appeared outside the county town where more than 10,000 Imperial Guards were stationed, the Imperial Guards standing guard at the top of the city also dropped their jaws in shock.
They looked into the distance, and indeed there was no warning, but the enemy really appeared under their noses.
"Quickly close the city gate!"
Seeing the mighty thousands of cavalry rushing forward, the imperial guards at the top of the city also became short of breath.
Tens of thousands of cavalry are overwhelming, not to mention 20,000 cavalry of the Qinghe Army. In a short time, the cavalry covered the defender's field of vision, a black turbulent wave.
After seeing the urgently closed city gate, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army did not panic in the slightest. They were confident in their strong strength.
Because in the eyes of the Qinghe army, the low city walls cannot stop their powerful army.
And their Qinghe army didn't need city walls, so the enemy would not dare to provoke them. This is a direct manifestation of strength.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army passed by the side of the county seat unhurriedly, and continued to advance in depth.
The camps and checkpoints of the Guards along the way were violently attacked by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army are not good at attacking cities, but they are still capable of destroying the camps set up in the wilderness.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army rushed forward, destroying the camp of the Imperial Guards and occupying many of their supply warehouses.
And the main force of the Qinghe Army Guards Corps led by Chen Ziang advanced along the main road.
For this attack Chen Ziang mobilized 300 trebuchets, 200 shield chariots, 20 siege nest chariots, and countless powerful bows and crossbows.
It is precisely because of such a large amount of weapons and equipment that Chen Zi'ang advances directly along the main road. With his strong strength, he directly crushes the enemy to achieve the purpose of putting pressure on the imperial guards. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
