"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 178
Hearing that outside the city is only the vanguard of the Qinghe Army, the officials at the head of the city and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard all turned extremely ugly.
General Zuo Yang Yunfeng's face flashed an unconcealable panic, he was very regretful, if he had known this, he should have stayed in the capital and not come to this muddy water.
"Master Hou, what shall we do?"
The officials and generals were also confused, and all turned their eyes to Yang Yunfeng.
Yang Yunfeng naturally didn't want to lose face in front of everyone, so he forced himself to maintain his composure.
"The bandit army is just bluffing, so don't take it to heart. Zhen'an Prefecture has high walls and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. The bandit army can't take it down." Yang Yunfeng comforted everyone.
After Yang Yunfeng said that, the officials of Zhen'an Mansion and the officers of the Imperial Guard also felt a little bit more settled.
"Everyone, perform your duties and prepare for the battle." Yang Yunfeng ordered.
"No!"
Facing the mighty Qinghe army, Yang Yunfeng naturally did not dare to go out of the city to fight, but only dared to defend the city.
"Quickly ask for help from His Royal Highness, and say that one hundred thousand bandit troops have arrived in Zhen'an Mansion, and I am blocking them in Zhen'an Mansion. Please send reinforcements quickly, otherwise Zhen'an Mansion will not be safe."
Although Zhen'an Mansion has a deep city wall, Yang Yunfeng still has no confidence in his heart, so he summoned his own soldiers and asked him to return to the capital for help.
Following Yang Yunfeng's order, groups of Imperial Guard soldiers drove up to the top of the city, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
"General, it seems that the Royal Guards of the Dynasty want to occupy the city."
Looking at the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were busy at the top of the city, Li Lang showed disdain on his face.
Although the imperial guards are known as the central elite troops of the Far Eastern Dynasty, they are strong from the outside and capable from the inside, vulnerable to a single blow, and weak in strength, so they are naturally looked down upon.
Chen Zi'ang led his troops to Zhen'an Mansion, and his original intention was to use these imperial guards to practice their skills. The opponent's non-surrender was just in line with his wishes.
"Our brethren are all newly recruited. They have not experienced battles yet. Let them see the blood today." Chen Ziang turned his head and said to Li Lang.
"No!"
Now their 30,000 infantry are all brave soldiers recruited from the refugees. Although Li Lang has trained them along the way, they look decent, but whether they can fight in battle is another matter.
"Lin Yu, you lead your troops to blockade the east and west of the city."
When Li Lang took the order to leave, Chen Ziang ordered Lin Yu to lead his troops to block the other two directions.
"General, isn't the north of the city blocked?" Lin Yu asked suspiciously.
Chen Ziang explained: "We are going to encircle three gates and one. If all four gates are blocked, the imperial guards in the city will definitely resist desperately, but if they are given a way to survive, they will not work so hard."
"But in this way, we will not be able to wipe out all the enemies in the city."
"The strategy is to attack the mind first. Even if the enemy army in the city cannot be completely wiped out, even if they flee back, they will be afraid of our army in their hearts. If they fight again, our army will have a psychological advantage."
"Moreover, in order not to fall under the pretext of deserters, the rout soldiers will definitely publicize the strength of our army in order to escape punishment. In this way, it will definitely affect the morale of the enemy army."
Hearing Chen Ziang's eloquence, Lin Yu also understood a lot like being enlightened.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns in war." Lin Yu also admired Chen Ziang.
"When you have free time, you should be familiar with military books and war strategies. In the future, you will lead the army to fight alone. If you want to win the battle, you can't just rely on fighting and charging." Chen Ziang looked at Lin Yu and said earnestly.
"The last general has written it down, and he will definitely live up to the general's expectations."
After Lin Yu heard Chen Ziang's words, he also knew Chen Ziang's good intentions, and nodded seriously.
"Go."
"No!"
Soon, Lin Yu led the cavalry troops to block the south, east and west of the city. The cavalry wandered in these three directions to prevent people from leaving the city.
However, they deliberately left a gap in the north of the city, leaving a way for the enemies in the city to survive.
Li Lang and the others taught the soldiers how to temporarily make ladders and other siege equipment during the march, and the ladders were always carried.
It's just that along the way, the towns along the way are all fleeing, so that the ladders are useless.
Now I see that the defenders of Zhen'an Mansion did not escape, and also refused to open the city.Surrender, Li Lang and the others can't wait.
Li Lang rode back to the standing infantry formation, and the soldiers of the six banner battalions all turned their eyes to Li Lang, waiting for the order to attack.
"brothers!"
Li Lang's thunderous voice suddenly sounded, making every soldier's ears buzz.
"Did you see the Zhen'an Mansion in front?!" Li Lang pointed his whip straight at the city of Zhen'an Mansion.
"There are countless Liming people who are suffering and suffering inside, but there are also tens of thousands of enemy troops waiting in full battle!"
"Tell me loudly, what should we do?!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
After hearing Li Lang's words, the 30,000 infantry roared loudly, which made the imperial guards at the top of the city look pale.
Seeing the soldiers with high fighting spirit, Li Lang showed a look of relief on his cold cheeks. These are all troops trained by him.
Although he has not experienced battles, this indomitable momentum alone is enough to crush many troops.
Amidst the roaring roar, the fear in Liang Guanlin's heart dissipated a lot. He held his saber tightly, took a deep breath, and calmed down his mood.
He was originally a scholar with no power to restrain himself, but before he could pass the exam, the family property was taken away by the rich man, his parents died of depression, and he also lost his source of income.
Although he is a scholar, he has been humiliated for a little food. If Chen Ziang and the others had not captured the Xilin Mansion and opened a warehouse to release food, he would have starved to death long ago.
Homeless Liang Guanlin finally chose to join Chen Ziang's army, because Chen Ziang's army preached the slogan of saving the people of the world.
Moreover, Chen Ziang's troops had strict military discipline and did not commit any crimes against the common people, which made Liang Guanlin look sideways even more.
As a scholar, Liang Guanlin also has lofty ideals, that is to rule the country and secure the world. However, he knows that the Far Eastern Dynasty is so decayed that there is no way to realize his ideals, so he joins Chen Ziang's command.
A scholar like Liang Guanlin could have directly become a member of the staff team, but he insisted on starting from a small soldier. Seeing his insistence, Chen Ziang agreed.
Now Liang Guanlin is an ordinary soldier in the newly formed No. 1 Banner Battalion under Chen Ziang's command. Compared with the stronger colleagues around him, his thin body seems a bit out of place.
Those comrades around respected scholars, so they took care of Liang Guanlin.
"Brother Liang, follow me later, don't get separated."
The ten generals kindly reminded Liang Guanlin who was holding his sword and shield tightly.
Liang Guanlin nodded. Their ten-man team is a smaller combat unit and has its own name "Storm Ten-man Team".
Just like their "Storm Ten", there are countless such squads in the entire First Banner Battalion. They are the smallest combat unit, and the officer requires them to share weal and woe, so no matter what they do, they are a whole.
Even if one of them usually makes a mistake, the officer will not punish one individual alone, but punish their entire "Storm Ten" in order to cultivate their team ability. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
