"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 347
Zhen'an, the dynasty army's camp was in a mess for more than ten miles. Broken banners were planted obliquely on the collapsed camp, and layers of corpses had become swollen and whitish soaked in the dark red muddy water.
The stragglers of the Qinghe Army with sharp weapons rummaged through the pile of corpses for survivors, and the screams sounded from far or near. It was they making up for the dead enemy hidden in the pile of corpses.
After a day of brutal fighting, in the evening, the Second Qinghe Army Corps led by Chen Zi'ang almost completely wiped out the dynasty army led by Yue Jinsong.
Yue Jinsong, the consort of the imperial court, the black cavalry army under his command turned his back on the battlefield, and tens of thousands of cavalry troops surrendered to the Qinghe army.
More than 50,000 of the 60,000 Imperial Guard troops were killed, and more than 10,000 of them became prisoners of war of the Qinghe Army.
The assembled local garrison also suffered heavy losses. The Qinghe army alone captured more than 30,000 people.
Broken corpses and tents were everywhere on the battlefield, and some wounded soldiers of the Qinghe Army were continuously transported to temporary camps for treatment.
Chen Zi'ang, the Qinghe army's hussar general, stepped on the blood-stained muddy water, patrolling the entire battlefield.
The imperial army led by Yue Jinsong is powerful. The Imperial Guard, Black Cavalry and local garrison have a combined strength of more than 100,000.
However, the No. 1, No. 9 and Twelfth Banner regiments under Chen Zi'ang's command did not have an advantage, but they took advantage of the heavy rain to make a surprise attack.
Chen Zi'ang's original plan was to inflict heavy damage on the imperial army along the way and wipe out their vital forces, so as to reduce their threat to the Second Army of the Qinghe Army.
However, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. Facing the rainy raid of the Qinghe Army, the Dynasty Army was completely defeated, and did not even form an effective resistance.
Chen Zi'ang, the supreme commander of the Qinghe Army, also immediately seized the opportunity and commanded all the troops to charge and fight against the Dynasty Army.
Facing the repeated fierce attacks of the various units of the Qinghe Army, coupled with the defection of the Black Cavalry Army, the Royal Guards of the Dynasty were unable to support themselves, and finally formed a disastrous situation.
The Qinghe army won a complete victory, and the stone hanging in Chen Ziang's heart fell to the ground. His brothers were fighting bloody battles on the front line, but he, the commander, was full of energy and kept observing the battlefield. out of combat.
But their luck was very good. After a day of hard fighting, they directly wiped out this dynasty army.
They not only wiped out the dynastic army with a strength of more than 100,000, but also captured a large amount of weapons and equipment as well as food and supplies.
Following the destruction of the imperial army along the way, in the territory of Luyang Province, there was no one who could threaten their Second Army in a short period of time, which greatly relieved their pressure.
"General."
When Chen Ziang was patrolling the battlefield stepping on the bloody water, Han Feng, the head of the Twelfth Banner covered in blood, strode over.
The troops of the 12th Banner Regiment led by Han Feng never retreated during the battle. With their own strength, they defeated more than 40,000 local garrison troops of the dynasty, which can be said to have made a great contribution.
"How about the casualties, brethren?"
Seeing Han Feng covered in scars, Chen Ziang also asked about the casualties of their troops with concern.
"More than 6,000 brothers were killed, and more than 5,000 were injured." Han Feng stood up and replied, his voice a little low.
Han Feng's Twelfth Banner Regiment originally had 20,000 troops. When the Minghuo Sect was purged, more than 5,000 people were directly expelled, and the combatants were cautiously 15,000.
After this battle, their Twelfth Banner Regiment can be said to have been directly disabled and lost their combat effectiveness.
Chen Ziang also knew that Han Feng was feeling bad. These were all old brothers he had brought out from the Black Mountain Army, and he lost more than half of them in this battle.
"Take care to bury the brothers who died in battle, and give preferential treatment to the wounded brothers. They are our heroes." Chen Ziang instructed.
"No."
Han Feng wiped the corners of his moist eyes, and agreed in a low voice.
"Don't be so sad, we won the battle, we should be happy."
Seeing Han Feng with dim eyes, Chen Ziang couldn't help reminding him.
"Wars are like this. No one knows whether they can live to see the sun of tomorrow. We want a prosperous and peaceful world, and there are destined to be bloody battlefields. There will be more such vicious battles in the future. Let's get used to it slowly."
After Chen Ziang patted Han Feng's shoulder, he couldn't help but sighed, and turned towardsgo far.
Chen Ziang inspected various places, and met Zhou Ba, the head of the First Banner, and Lu Fatzi, the head of the Ninth Banner.
The losses of the First Banner Regiment and the Ninth Banner Regiment were not small, but it was better than that of the Twelfth Banner Regiment. The death rate of the recruits in the army exceeded 60%, while the loss of the veterans was relatively small.
Although only 40% of the recruits survived, they will become the backbone of the Qinghe Army after undergoing cruel battlefield tests.
"Where's Thunder?"
Chen Ziang wandered around but didn't see the deputy head of the Ninth Banner Regiment, so he couldn't help asking Fatty Lu.
Fatty Lu scratched his head and replied: "I heard that he took people to chase after the coach of the Dynasty Army, so it stands to reason that he should come back."
It was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao were coming. At this moment, a group of black cavalry cavalry galloped quickly from a distance, and the leader was Lei Ming covered in blood and mud.
"I thought you were killed."
Seeing Lei Ming coming back with people, Fatty Lu shouted from a long distance away.
"I have nine lives, I can't die."
Lei Ming galloped over on his horse, and threw Yue Jinsong, the son-in-law of the Dynasty Army, into the muddy water.
Yue Jinsong, the disheveled and muddy son-in-law, fell heavily into the muddy water, and couldn't help crying out in pain.
"General, I have brought back their son-in-law."
Lei Ming got off his horse, stood up to Chen Ziang and gave a military salute with his fists crossed across his chest, then pointed to Yue Jin who was struggling in the muddy water and said.
"Brother, I really belong to you."
Fatty Lu didn't expect that Lei Ming would really kill the coach of Wang Chaojun. He couldn't help laughing and gave him a thumbs up.
"Hand it over to the Intelligence and Investigation Department, and have a good interrogation."
Chen Ziang didn't have much interest in such a polished commander, but he still didn't mind prying something out of his mouth.
Soon, Yue Jinsong, who was full of fear and horror, was taken away by the intelligence and investigation department. As for the intelligence and investigation department interrogating him like this, it depends on whether he is worthy of reconciliation.
In this battle, Lei Ming can be said to have made outstanding achievements. Not only did he successfully instigate the Black Cavalry Army on the battlefield, but he also captured the coach of the Dynasty Army, Yue Jinsong, alive.
Chen Ziang also didn't hesitate to praise him at all, and he praised Lei Ming, who was ashamed as a big and thick guy.
The black cavalry showed extraordinarily bravery in the battle. Together with the cavalry of the Qinghe army, they defeated the main force of the imperial guards and established the victory of this battle.
So Chen Ziang also went to visit the Black Cavalry Army for the first time. When he learned that their wounded soldiers were ignored and they were still hungry, Chen Ziang immediately ordered Liang Guanlin, the director of military supplies, to allocate camp, food and medicine to them.
The Black Cavalry Army was neglected and suppressed by the imperial court. Although they charged forward, they were not as good as pigs and dogs. Even if they were injured, it was difficult to find medicine.
But I didn't expect to feel Chen Ziang's attention and preferential treatment when I first arrived in the Qinghe Army, and everyone was grateful.
"Lei Ming, now I've entrusted these brothers to you. If they don't eat well and don't wear warm clothes, I'll take you as a question."
"Don't worry, general, I will make my brothers eat and dress well." Lei Ming hurriedly patted his chest to promise.
"Thank you, General!"
"Thank you, General!"
The cavalry of the Black Cavalry has been fighting and fighting since they left their hometown to join the army.
Now they feel the warm care from Chen Ziang, many of them were even moved to tears, and the voices of thanks came one after another. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
