    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 957

    Tan Feng, the cavalry general of the Qinghe Army, led 5,000 cavalry to smash through the 20,000 mighty army, beheading more than ten battalion generals, deputy generals and other officers on the spot, winning a complete victory.

    Long Ze, the former general of the mighty army, broke out of the siege under the protection of the cavalry guards, and ran all the way towards Yingzui Peak, in a panic.

    Following the defeat of the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps of the Infantry of the Mighty Army by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, the main force of the Mighty Army in the southern part of the province was almost wiped out.

    The cavalry unit led by Tan Feng chased the defeated soldiers all the way to Yingzui Peak, where they fought fiercely with the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army.

    The sturdy and brave cavalry of the Qinghe Army are all elites in all battles, and they did not pay attention to the remnants of the mighty army and the defeated generals at all.

    After a bloody fight, the head of the Ninth Corps of the Mighty Army was killed, more than 5,000 members of the Mighty Army were captured, and the former general Long Ze of the Mighty Army who fled here was captured alive.

    "Brother Tan, your cavalry is really good!"

    The Mighty Army, who killed thousands of cavalry, cried for their father and mother, and Zhou Ting, the head of the Independent First Banner who led the officers out of the customs to welcome them, also admired Tan Feng and the others.

    "Concession, concession."

    Tan Feng and the others rushed all the way, and fought bloody battles with the mighty army several times. Their clothes and armor were torn and bloodstained, but the sturdy and iron-blooded aura permeating them was also terrifying.

    "I have already prepared wine and meat in the pass, and I invite the brothers to enter the pass to rest." Zhou Ting invited Tan Feng and the others to enter the Yingzui Peak pass to rest.

    "Then thank you Brother Zhou."

    Tan Feng and the others were not too polite. They had been marching and fighting these days, and they were also exhausted, so they brought the wounded into Yingzui Peak Pass.

    On Yingzui Peak, many houses were built in the valley between the North Pass Wall and the South Pass Wall, and a lot of land was leveled.

    Originally, these places were the places where the mighty army garrisoned, but now it is the Qinghe army who has occupied here cheaply.

    The cavalry of the Qinghe Army led by Tan Feng entered Yingzui Peak Pass to rest and recuperate, which also greatly enhanced the defense here.

    Not long after Tan Feng and the others entered Yingzui Peak, a large number of refugees, officials and defeated soldiers from the southern part of the province flocked to the south of Yingzui Peak.

    They originally wanted to flee north through Yingzui Peak, but who knew that this place had been occupied by the Qinghe Army, and the Qinghe Army blocked their way.

    Now the Qinghe Army is busy blocking the mighty troops coming from the north, and they don't bother to pay attention to the large number of defeated soldiers gathered outside Nanguan.

    With the passage of time, more and more civilians gathered outside Yingzui Peak Pass, as well as a small group of mighty troops and local garrison troops.

    Seeing that the way out was blocked, the governor of Yongning Mansion, the mighty army who fled here was also considered a character. He even organized the broken soldiers and formed a team of more than 10,000 people, trying to attack Yingzui Peak.

    It's a pity that many of his 10,000-strong team are local garrison troops and some soldiers of the mighty army who have been defeated. Not to mention the lack of capable generals, the shortage of armaments and fodder is extremely scarce.

    They launched an attack on Yingzui Peak, but as the cavalry of the Qinghe Army in Yingzui Peak rushed out, they were defeated by a single charge.

    As a large number of Qinghe army cavalry arrived here chasing the defeated enemy, the number of defeated soldiers and refugees gathered here exceeded 100,000.

    There was Yingzui Peak pass blocking the way in front, and a large number of Qinghe troops surrounded them behind, and they became the turtles in the urn.

    "Surrender to avoid death, or shoot to kill!"

    Lei Ming, the deputy commander who rushed to Yingzui Peak, did not expect that there were as many as 100,000 soldiers and civilians who fled here. At the same time as the accident, he also ordered the soldiers to shout and force them to surrender.

    There are refugees and broken soldiers everywhere, and no one organizes them. Facing the front of the Qinghe army, they can only give up resistance.

    Lei Ming immediately sent people to screen the more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who fought in the melee, and then separated them into custody.

    After two full days of screening, 30,000 of them fled here from the mighty military stragglers and local garrison troops, in addition to countless high-ranking officials and the wealth they carried.

    Now that it fell into the hands of the Qinghe army, Lei Ming was naturally not polite, and directly ordered the confiscation of the wealth carried by those high-ranking officials and nobles, but the Qinghe army also made a lot of money.

    For those ordinary people who fled here with their families, the Qinghe Army did not embarrass them. After screening, they gave them grain and rice, and gave them roads to return to their hometowns by the same route.

      With the constant flow of troops from the Qinghe Army marching towards Yingzui Peak, those mighty troops who attacked Beiguan were also wiped out by the Qinghe Army.

    So far, in less than two weeks, the Qinghe Army wiped out the twelve regiments of the Mighty Army in the south of the province, and occupied all the prefectures and counties.

    When the Qinghe army occupied all the counties in the south, the twelve corps in the south were wiped out, and the news that even the former general Long Ze had become a prisoner was sent back to the provincial capital, King Ning was furious.

    Knowing that Yingzui Peak was captured by the rebels, King Ning didn't think much of it. He just ordered the nearby army to take back Yingzui Peak and eliminate these annoying rebels.

    But now he finds out that this is not the case at all. This is not a single action of the rebel army along the way, but the Qinghe army is playing a big game.

    During the two weeks when he didn't care, not only all the prefectures and counties in the south of the province fell into the hands of the Qinghe army, but also his twelve corps were wiped out.

    Because Yingzui Peak was occupied by the army led by Zhou Ting and Tang Ping, and the news was blocked, King Ning knew nothing about what happened in the south.

    Now that he got the specific situation, King Ning was startled and angry, and hurriedly called the civil officials under his command to hold an emergency meeting.

    The civil servants and military generals under King Ning did not expect that the Qinghe Army was so powerful. After hearing the news, they were all panicked.

    They originally thought that with more than 200,000 mighty troops in their hands, even if they had no ability to attack, it would be more than enough to defend Luyang Province.

    However, they never thought that in just two weeks, more than half of their proud army was lost, and the entire southern region fell.

    "The thieves were able to capture the southern counties in a short period of time. It must have been planned for a long time. We should immediately dispatch the army to retake the Yingzui Peak and stop the thieves from going north!"

    "But now most of the main force of our army is on the front line in the river, and the water can't quench the near thirst."

    King Ning's fief is in Hezhong Province, and he also entered Luyang Province in the name of suppressing the rebels.

    Generally speaking, King Ning's old den is still in the Hezhong Province, so there are also heavy troops deployed there.

    King Ning has a large army in his hands, and he is on both sides of the court and the rebels. Because he has a lot of troops under his hands, no one wants to offend him.

    However, King Ning was also on guard against them at any time, so apart from part of his mighty army defending the Qinghe army, the rest were guarding against the imperial court and rebel troops.

    With the more than 100,000 troops in the south being wiped out within two weeks, apart from the local garrison troops, only the provincial capital still has some mighty field troops stationed in Luyang Province.

    The rest of the Mighty Army's field troops were deployed on the front line in the river. Facing the rapidly deteriorating situation, King Ning also secretly scolded himself for being careless.

    "Father, I am willing to lead the army to stop the bandit army and buy time for the army to come back!"

    At this critical moment, Shizi Longjun also stood up and volunteered to fight, willing to lead the army to the front line to stop the Qinghe army.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
