    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 817

    "Master Banner Leader, all the rebels in the city have been defeated by us."

    After more than two hours of fierce fighting, more than 2,000 Qinghe Army cavalry defeated the rebels in the city abruptly.

    "Master Banner, the 300th team has occupied the treasury!"

    "Master Banner, the 5th and 700th troops have occupied the grain depot."

    A soldier rushed to the head of the banner, Guo Wei, and reported the situation of each centurion.

    Hearing that most of the city had fallen into their hands, Guo Wei, the tense head of the banner, breathed a sigh of relief.

    After all, with their 2,000 cavalry raiding Xingshui Mansion, they do not have any advantage in strength. What they need is to fight fast and slow, and defeat the rebels in the city before they react.

    Fortunately, their cavalry are all elite troops drawn from the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry. They are brave and good at fighting, and they have completed the task very well.

    Guo Wei, head of the banner regiment, ordered some of the cavalry to be alert, and he himself immediately rushed to the treasury where the rebels' money and food were stored.

    All the money and food of the rebels were piled up in the city. They demolished the houses in the Dongcheng District of Xingshui Mansion, and then placed the money and food they looted from various places.

    At this moment, corpses are scattered everywhere on the street, and the rain mixed with blood makes the street scarlet.

    "Master Banner Leader!"

    Seeing the arrival of Guo Wei, the head of the flag regiment, the hundreds of cavalry guarding here immediately greeted him.

    Accompanied by a hundred generals, Guo Wei, head of the flag regiment, inspected the money and food stored here. Guo Wei was also shocked when he saw the mountain of money and food.

    "Call the brothers over to get the money inside, one bag for each person, and the rest will be burned up later!"

    Seeing the mountains of money and food, Guo Wei was excited, but also knew that they could not take them all away, so he decided to burn them according to the order.

    However, in order to reward the cavalry brothers of the Qinghe Army who ran all the way, he decided to let them take some.

    Soon, the exhausted cavalry brothers of the Qinghe Army rushed over one after another, each with a bag of money.

    "Master Banner, we can completely occupy this place without having to burn these money and food. It's a pity."

    When Guo Wei was about to order to burn the money and food that could not be taken away, some officers were also full of regret.

    "Remember, we must know how to be content, what we get is our own, don't be too greedy."

    "If we don't burn the things here, once the rebels counterattack, our two thousand brothers will not be able to defend the Xingshui Mansion. At that time, we may not even be able to keep the things in our hands, and maybe we will lose our lives!"

    "The rebel army is just a group of rabble. We are all elites and should be able to hold on." The officer argued.

    "Even if we beat back the counterattack of the rebels, the Southern Army is still watching. Do you think they will miss this opportunity?" Guo Wei reminded.

    After hearing the words of Guo Wei, the head of the banner, the officer who felt sorry also had a serious look, knowing that he was facing a huge amount of money, food and grass, and could not resist the temptation in his heart.

    "Master Banner, it's because I didn't think carefully."

    "Execute the order and burn it all."

    "No!"

    Following Guo Wei's order, the cavalry brothers quickly lit the fire and began to burn the rebel money and food supplies stored in Xingshui Mansion.

    When Guo Wei and the others burned money and food in Xingshuifu City, the rebel commander who fled the city also regained his composure, gathered the routed rebels, and quickly asked for help from the surrounding areas.

    In the evening, the rebel commander gathered more than 15,000 rebels from the surrounding area and rushed towards Xingshui Mansion aggressively.

    When they hadn't arrived at Xingshui Mansion, they saw thick smoke billowing in the city of Xingshui Mansion and the flames soaring into the sky.

    The two thousand cavalry brothers of the Qinghe Army had already withdrawn, so when the murderous rebels entered the city, what they saw was a scene of flames engulfing the east of the city.

    Seeing a large amount of money and food go up in flames, the commander of the rebel army turned pale, his feet became weak and he couldn't stand up.

    If the commander Yang Hao knew that he was not doing enough to guard the money and food, I am afraid his head would fall to the ground.

    "Damn bandit army!"

    The commander of the rebel army was also full of anger when he thought that he was attacked by a mere thousand cavalry, causing the food and grass to be burned to ashes.

      "General, what should we do now?"

    Seeing that the money and food were destroyed, the rebel officers also had a bad face, because he knew that Yang Hao was furious, and they would definitely not be able to please them.

    "If Lord Commander finds out, you and I will both drop our heads." The rebel commander looked around the crowd and said.

    Everyone also had serious expressions on their faces, deeply convinced, because they knew that Yang Hao was cruel and bloodthirsty, and they would never let them go.

    "Everyone, if we want to survive, there are only two ways out." The rebel commander sighed.

    "First, pack up your things and run for yourselves, but once you are caught, your head will fall to the ground."

    "Second, we are going to join the Southern Army. We still have more than 10,000 people. They will not reject us. With the protection of the Southern Army, we can at least survive."

    After hearing the rebel commander's words, the rebel officers bowed their heads and thought for a while, and all said that the commander's decision is the main one.

    "Okay, quickly contact the Southern Army and say that we are willing to donate Xingshui Mansion and join them."

    Soon, the rebel commander sent someone to contact the Southern Army, expressing his willingness to surrender.

    The southern army is now sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight, and seeing the food and grass of the rebel army destroyed, they are also very happy in their hearts.

    But what they didn't expect was that these rebels were willing to sacrifice Xingshui Mansion and surrender them because they were worried about being punished.

    The Southern Army had sent troops several times to seize the rebel stronghold of Xingshui Mansion, but they all failed, but they did not expect it to be so easy to obtain now.

    What's more, there are more than 10,000 rebels willing to surrender, so after a little thought, the southern army felt that it was too cost-effective for them to occupy here without bloodshed, so they immediately sent troops to take over Xingshui Mansion.

    ? When the Southern Army quickly dispatched troops to take over Xingshui Mansion, the troops led by Qinghe Army Deputy Commander Zhang Bao, led by the assault brigade composed of surrendered rebels, also successfully invaded Yangcheng Mansion controlled by the rebels.

    Kong Liang and the others all had tattoos unique to the rebels on their faces, and then they swaggered that they were ordered to go to the Yangcheng Prefecture area to collect food, tricked the officers guarding the city, and were able to enter the city.

    After they entered the city, they fought directly, catching the rebels guarding Yangcheng Mansion by surprise, but Zhang Bao, the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, quickly followed up and quickly occupied Yangcheng Mansion.

    However, they did not stop after occupying Yangcheng Mansion. After leaving some soldiers and horses to guard, they rushed to the next city, Nanling Mansion, without stopping.

    When the Qinghe Army and the Southern Army were chasing the rear of the rebel army, Yang Hao, the leader of the rebel army, also changed his tactics. Instead of storming Pingyong Mansion, he changed to besiege.

    At the same time, Yang Hao sent a force to bypass the Pingyong Mansion and pounce on the Lingchuan Mansion behind the Qinghe Army, also trying to cut off the Qinghe Army's rear supply.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
