"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1048
Early in the morning, Hu Ziyang, Generalissimo of the Imperial Guard stationed in Long'an Mansion, received news of the Qinghe Army's massive attack.
"The thief army seems to be unable to hold back."
After Hu Ziyang got the news, he didn't seem too flustered, but the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.
If the Qinghe Army had been holding back on the border of Hexi Province, he would feel uneasy, not knowing what conspiracy the Qinghe Army would have.
Now that the Qinghe army has launched a large-scale offensive on its own initiative, and the battle is on the bright side, it is a good thing for Hu Ziyang that he does not need to guess the movement of the Qinghe army.
?After all, it is easy to hide a hidden arrow, but it is difficult to defend against it. Now that the Qinghe army has put up a stance, they only need to deal with it step by step, and they don't have to worry about any plots by the Qinghe army.
Hu Ziyang has not been idle these days, he has already built a strong line of defense, and the 300,000 army is blocking the attack. No matter how brave and good the Qinghe army is, it is estimated that they will be hit head-to-head.
When the Qinghe soldiers were exhausted, he would lead the elite army to launch a counterattack, and he might be able to make a contribution in one fell swoop.
In Hu Ziyang's defensive tactics, it was to rely on solid town defense in the early stage to consume the strength of the Qinghe Army and wear down their morale.
After the Qinghe Army captures these towns, it must lose troops and generals, and pay great casualties.
When the time comes, they will launch a thunderous counterattack, and they will be able to catch the Qinghe army by surprise.
"Pass my military order, and the defenders everywhere will stick to the line of defense. Without my military order, anyone who retreats without authorization will be killed immediately!"
The Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guards ignored Liu Yan's request for help from Qingcheng Mansion, because he put Liu Yan's troops on the front line, which was for him and the Qinghe Army to consume.
Liu Yan, General Zhengdong, has tens of thousands of people under his command, and occupies a large area.
Even if the Qinghe army could eat Liu Yan, they would probably lose a few teeth.
If Liu Yan, the General Zhengdong, retreated without authorization, he would not mind beheading Liu Yan and annexing his soldiers and horses for his own use.
When the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guard Hu Ziyang ordered the defenders in various towns to fight to the death, the army led by Chen Ziang had already arrived outside Qingcheng Prefecture.
Liu Yan has become a tortoise with tens of thousands of troops huddled in Qingcheng Prefecture, ready to rely on the strong city to defend it.
But when Liu Yan saw the overwhelming banners and soldiers outside the city, he couldn't help but gasped.
The Qinghe Army, which was just beaten and fled around at the beginning, is now at its peak, which makes Liu Yan curse inwardly.
If he had had military power back then, he would have strangled the Qinghe army in the cradle long ago, and it wouldn't have become an unstoppable trend now.
Qingcheng Mansion has high walls and thick walls, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed there. If it is fought according to the conventional method, it will be difficult to defeat it without several times the strength of the troops.
However, Chen Zi'ang was not worried at all, because although he was leading the newly formed guard banner regiments this time, he also carried secret weapons.
"Go and shout, let Liu Yan surrender, otherwise, if the city is destroyed, he will be killed without pardon!"
Surrounded by all the generals, Chen Zi'ang looked at the Qingcheng Mansion, which was in full swing, and said to a messenger.
"No!"
After the messenger responded, he kicked the horse's belly fiercely with both legs, and rushed out, running to a stone's throw away from Qingchengfu.
"Listen, people in the city, my commander-in-chief has the virtue of being good at life. Now put down your weapons and surrender, you can save the lives of Paul and others. If you resist stubbornly, once the city is broken, you will be killed without mercy!"
The voice of the messenger was so high and clear that everyone in the city could hear it clearly.
"Hmph, I really thought that I, Liu Yan, was a persimmon!"
Hearing that the Qinghe army outside the city persuaded him to surrender as soon as they came up, Liu Yan couldn't help but let out a cold snort, thinking that the Qinghe army was underestimating him.
"Go back and tell Chen Ziang that others are afraid of him, but I, Liu Yan, am not afraid of him. I will attack if I have the guts. Today next year will be your death day!" Liu Yan shouted without showing any weakness.
"I said Liu Yan, don't be a hero, you have been besieged to death, once our army attacks the city, you will surely die!" The orderly shouted coldly.
Liu Yan said indifferently: "Let the horse come over and see who wins!"
Liu Yan is an authentic descendant of the aristocratic family, although the Far Eastern DynastyHe will fall, but he is still loyal to the Far Eastern court.
After the orderer's persuasion was ineffective, he had no choice but to gallop back to report to Chen Ziang.
"I think he has eaten the weight and made up his mind, and he is going to fight to the end."
"He doesn't know good from bad."
"Marshal, order the attack and teach them a lesson!"
"Yes, let them see how powerful our Qinghe army is!"
After the persuasion failed, the generals of the Qinghe Army were also filled with righteous indignation, and they clasped their fists to fight.
"Beat the drum, attack!"
Chen Ziang also hoped to put pressure on the Far Eastern court by eliminating the vital force of the imperial guards.
Courtesy first, soldiers later, if persuasion fails, then the only option is to use force to completely beat the opponent to the ground.
Following Chen Zi'ang's order, the cowhide war drum was beating rumblingly, and the sound of thud resounded throughout the battlefield, making people's blood boil.
"Ang woo!"
The loud and clear horns also sounded, and a large number of siege vehicles, shield vehicles, ladders and strong bows and crossbows marched together with great momentum.
"Ready to fight!"
"Archers are ready!"
Seeing the Qinghe Army slowly approaching Qingcheng Mansion like a wave, the voices of the Imperial Guard officers at the top of the city also rang out one after another.
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army pushed the catapults, and two hundred catapults moved forward slowly, and soon arrived at the predetermined shooting position.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A few stone bullets with calibrated coordinates hit the top of Qingcheng Mansion, causing bricks and rocks to fly horizontally, and smoke and dust piled up.
After the coordinates were calibrated, the stone bombs were loaded onto the trebuchet one after another, and then roared and fired at Qingcheng Mansion.
Two hundred trebuchets were fired at the same time, and countless stone bombs smashed down Qingcheng Mansion with a shrill howl.
The ground shook for a while, as if it had experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake, the bricks and stones at the top of the city flew randomly, and the sand fell rustlingly.
The imperial guards at the head of the city were smashed and ran away. They knew that the Qinghe army had trebuchets, but they didn't expect the density of the opponent to be so large.
In just a moment, the city tower was smashed out of countless holes and then collapsed. Dozens of imperial guards were submerged under the collapsed city wall.
The stone bullets not only fell on the top of the city, but also extended to the area behind the city wall.
The houses in this area have almost been demolished, and the bricks and stones have been moved to the top of the city, ready to be used as thunder stones and rolling logs.
Moreover, a large number of Imperial Guard soldiers have gathered in this area, and they are also ready to reinforce the city wall to fight at any time.
They didn't expect that the stone bullets crossed the city wall and hit them. All those who were hit were smashed to pieces and their brains burst to death.
For a while, the imperial guards gathered behind the city wall also suffered heavy losses. People were constantly being hit by stone bullets, and their bodies rolled to the ground in twisted postures, dying tragically on the spot.
