"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 645
"It seems that there is chaos in the city."
Seeing the flames soaring into the sky and Hanchenggang where the shouts of killing kept coming, Hong Bo, the head of the 19th Banner of the Qinghe Army, showed a pensive expression.
"Master Banner, should we take the opportunity to attack?"
Xiang Kun, the deputy head of the banner, saw the chaos in the city, but he was a little ready to move, thinking that this was a good opportunity for them to attack.
"What if this is a trap they directed and acted on their own?"
Another deputy head of the banner, Li Jiyun, frowned. He felt that things were not that simple.
It was dark, and the Qinghe army didn't know what happened in Hanchenggang City, and Hong Bo, the head of the banner, couldn't make up his mind for a while.
After all, he is too short of information now. As a banner chief, he holds the lives of countless brothers in his hands, so he has to be cautious.
"Send scouts to investigate and find out what happened in the city as soon as possible."
Hong Bo, the head of the Nineteenth Banner, did not dare to attack rashly, and ordered to send elite scouts to investigate the news.
Soon, more than a dozen scout teams approached the city wall of Hancheng Port under the cover of night.
They observed with the light of the torches on the top of the city, and found that the number of defenders on the top of the city had decreased a lot.
Moreover, the sound of shouting and killing in the city, and the sound of the collision of weapons came out continuously, which did not seem to be fake.
"There is someone over there!"
When a group of scouts from the Qinghe Army circled around the dark corner of the city wall and were about to climb up the city wall with iron hooks for further investigation, they found rustling sounds coming from more than 20 meters away.
The scouts quickly surrounded them with sharp knives, and it turned out that they were a few civilians who slipped down the ropes and escaped for their lives.
Taking advantage of the chaos in the city, the soldiers of the Southern Army at the head of the city were transferred to suppress the civilians, so they sneaked out of the city with ropes.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that just after they left the wolf's den, they entered the tiger's mouth again.
Facing these murderous Qinghe army scouts, these civilian husbands were so frightened that their legs became weak, and they hurriedly kowtowed for mercy.
"What are you guys doing?!"
After the scout captain of the Qinghe Army detained the peasants and left the vicinity of the city wall, he asked.
When the civilian husbands learned that they were captured by the murderous Qinghe army, they naturally did not hide it, and told what they knew like beans.
After interrogating several civilian husbands separately, the scout captain found that what they said was similar, and it should not be fake, so he immediately reported it to Hong Bo, the head of the banner.
"It turns out that the peasants in the city are in chaos."
After hearing the intelligence summary of the scout team's investigation, Hong Bo finally knew why there were fires and shouts of killing in the city.
"Send me an order to attack the city immediately!"
Now that the southern army in the city is busy suppressing the peasants, and the defenders at the top of the city are not strong enough, Hong Bo did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the troops to attack.
A group of elite soldiers of the Qinghe army and water army moved quickly. They followed the corner of the city wall where the civilian husband escaped, and climbed up the city along the rope.
The southern army at the top of the city is also guarding everywhere like an enemy. As soon as the Qinghe army climbed to the top of the city, they discovered it.
Immediately, a brutal battle broke out between the two sides, but these Qinghe troops were carefully selected, and they were all transferred from various units of the Qinghe army to the 19th Banner Regiment of the Navy.
They have rich experience in battle, and they are not afraid of death. Under their charge, the southern defenders of this section of the city wall were defeated by them.
When the reinforcements of the Southern Army arrived in a hurry, they had already reached the city gate along the city ladder, and they cut off the rope of the winch.
Amidst the rumbling sound, the city gate near the Hancheng Port Wharf burst open.
"Brothers, kill!"
Hong Bo, head of the Nineteenth Banner, had arrived near the city gate with the water bandits and the Qinghe Army.
After seeing the city gate opened, they didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately rushed in along the city gate like a tide.
They collided with reinforcements from the Southern Army near the city gate, and both sides swung their swords at each other almost without thinking about it.
In the shadow of swords, lights and swords, blood flew around in the darkness, and it was like a blood rain fell near the city gate.
Under the combined impact of the water bandits and the Qinghe Army, the Southern Army's resistance was quickly defeated.
?The Qinghe army and water bandits who invaded the city were like quicksilver pouring down the ground.Lane rushed forward.
The civilians in the city were being suppressed and beaten by the southern army, but as the Qinghe army and water bandits entered the city, the situation also reversed.
?The soldiers of the Southern Army who were attacking and killing civilians everywhere encountered attacks from behind.
"Drive the bandit army out of the city!"
The deputy general of the Southern Army who stayed behind also hurriedly dispatched troops, trying to regain control of the city.
But in such a dark night, several groups of soldiers and horses were fighting each other in the city.
There were not many Southern troops left behind. They were scattered everywhere and could not be organized for a while, falling into a situation of fighting on their own.
The deputy general of the Southern Army personally led his guards to try to recapture the city gate, cut off the retreat of the Qinghe army and water bandits entering the city, and came to catch a turtle in an urn.
However, their strength was too small, and their attempt to recapture the city gate failed, and instead they lost troops.
The cavalry unit of the Qinghe Army near the south gate also took action after being notified by the head of the banner, Hong Bo.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army went around a circle before entering the city through the captured city gate.
The sound of rumbling horseshoes resounded on the streets of Hanchenggang. The Southern Army soldiers who were fighting on the street faced the galloping cavalry and were constantly knocked to the ground. the fall.
The entry of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army was like the last straw that crushed the Southern Army. Many Southern Army who were still fighting on the streets completely collapsed.
At the beginning, the peasants just wanted to escape from Cold City Harbor and restore their freedom.
However, in a series of melees, both they and the Southern Army were jealous.
Now seeing that the southern army was defeated by the Qinghe army, the peasants also chased and killed them with bloody swords.
?The situation on the battlefield took a turn for the worse. The southern army faced the joint strangulation of the Qinghe army, water bandits and armed civilians, and the situation became more and more difficult.
The fighting and hustle and bustle in the city continued until dawn. Except for more than a thousand Southern Army and Navy soldiers who became prisoners, the rest were all beheaded on the spot.
The left-behind deputy general of the southern army tried to break through with the remnants of the defeated general, but under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Qinghe army, the whole army was wiped out, and the deputy general's head was also beheaded.
The sky was slightly bright, and amidst the black smoke that shot straight into the sky, the black wolf flag of the Qinghe Army slowly rose above the city, announcing that the Qinghe Army had occupied this port city.
Although the battle is over, the chaos in the city is not over, and the fighting is still going on.
Although most of the southern army has been wiped out, there are still many remnants hiding in various residential houses, and troops from all walks of life are searching house by house.
Especially those water bandits with lax military discipline took the opportunity to start looting the residents of the city.
Some red-eyed armed civilians were also doing looting, and conflicts broke out between them and the water bandits from time to time, and the city was still in chaos. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
