"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 973
The Qinghe Army commanded by Li Lang occupied the southern part of Luyang Province, and marched all the way north. The army advanced to the capital of Luyang Province.
When the Qinghe army captured Pengcheng Mansion, the capital of Luyang Province was already facing an enemy. Under the order of King Ning, the city's defenses were urgently reinforced to prepare for the battle.
When the Qinghe army led by Li Lang arrived outside the provincial capital, King Ning also got the news and hurried to the city.
"The whole army is camped out, resting and waiting for orders."
In fact, the cavalry unit of the Qinghe Army had already arrived at the provincial capital a few days ago.
It's just that the cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army are not good at attacking the city, so they only wiped out the mighty cavalry scouts on the periphery.
Now the main infantry force led by Li Lang has advanced all the way here. The mighty army covered the sky and the sun, occupying the fields, woods and villages, with no end in sight.
Li Lang did not order the army to start attacking the provincial capital immediately, but set up camp to replenish their strength.
Li Lang, as the commander in chief of the front line, is in charge of his own affairs. He not only dares to fight bravely, but also acts prudently and cautiously. This is one of the reasons why Chen Ziang trusts him.
"Come on, let's go around the front."
When Li Lang ordered the army to set up camp, he led the deputy commander, Zhou Ba, and a team of personal guard cavalry to ride straight to the provincial capital.
The location where their army camped was about ten miles away from the city wall of the provincial capital, and there was a slowly flowing stream next to it, with enough water.
And at this distance, they can attack and defend. Once the mighty army in the provincial capital makes any moves, they will have time to react.
The horses knocked on the ground, Li Lang was surrounded by the sturdy guard cavalry, and they galloped on horseback, splashing mud and grass, and the rangers of the Qinghe army who wandered around also increased their vigilance.
After all, Li Lang is the commander-in-chief of the front line. Although there are a large number of Qinghe army rangers in the surrounding area, there are also a large number of ranger scouts from the mighty army. Who knows if they will suddenly emerge from a certain forest.
Li Lang and the others rode their horses all the way to the outside of the provincial capital. For Li Lang and the others, this was a revisit of the old place.
You must know that they followed Chen Ziang to conquer the capital of Luyang Province and spent some time here.
Later, they voluntarily withdrew from Luyang Province and went south, avoiding the fate of being pinched.
It can be said that Chen Ziang's choice was correct. Compared with defending this place of the Four Wars and being besieged by all parties, it is a clear choice to take the initiative to go south to the Jiangbei Province to develop and grow.
Chen Ziang's strategy of first going south and then going north has tended to be successful. They have firmly established a foothold in the south and have a large population, money and food.
As long as there are no accidents, their strength will steadily increase until they are invincible.
Li Lang returned to the outside of the capital city of Luyang Province, but earth-shaking changes have taken place here, except for the towering city walls, there is no longer any familiar feeling.
The fields full of crops outside the city have disappeared, and the lush forests have been cut down, replaced by a large newly built defensive position.
"They really paid off."
Deputy Commander Zhou Ba pointed at the densely packed trenches and fences, and couldn't help but gasped.
Because from the periphery of those trench fences to the root of the city wall, there is at least two or three miles in depth by visual inspection.
Now the dense trenches and fences have surrounded the entire provincial capital.
If the Qinghe army wanted to attack the provincial capital, it would definitely take the lead in occupying these positions outside the city.
But if you want to take down these built positions outside the city, the archers and cavalry of the Qinghe Army can't play a role, and you have to rely on the infantry with swords and shields to attack step by step.
Thinking that they were going to fight the mighty army in close combat on this densely packed trench and fence position, Zhou Ba's expression became extraordinarily solemn.
It's not that he, the deputy commander, is afraid of hand-to-hand combat, but that he feels that if he attacks by force, he will definitely cause countless casualties.
Although Li Lang had previously received a report from the scout Qingqi, saying that the Mighty Army had established a defensive position outside the city.
But after he took a look here with his own eyes, he knew that the situation of these defensive positions was more difficult to attack than what the scout Qingqi reported.
Fortunately, Li Lang, the front-line commander, always likes to go to the scene to investigate in person, instead of just relying on the report of the scout Qingqimake a decision.
If he didn't actually see this solid defensive position and rashly ordered the Qinghe Army to attack, he would definitely lose many soldiers due to lack of preparation.
"Come on, let's go over there and have a look."
Seeing this defensive position built by the mighty army, Li Lang decided to learn more, so he took Zhou Ba and the others to ride west.
When Li Lang, the front-line commander of the Qinghe Army, was surveying the battlefield outside the city, King Ning also went up to the tower surrounded by civil officials and military generals.
It's just that the Qinghe army camped ten miles away, and the weather was bad, so they could only see the Qinghe army cavalry chasing and fighting with the mighty army cavalry outside the city.
"His Royal Highness Ning, there is a team of bandit cavalry outside the position to observe our defense. The leader seems to have a high position."
When King Ning was overlooking the Qinghe Army from the top of the city, an officer of the mighty army galloped to the bottom of the city and reported loudly to the top of the city.
"The thief army is too arrogant!"
The generals of the Mighty Army were also furious when they heard that a group of cavalry from the Qinghe Army dared to approach for investigation.
"Father, please allow me to get the head of the thief chief! With the arrogance of the thief army!"
A brave young general stepped forward from the crowd, clasped his fists and asked for a fight. He was Long Shisan, one of the thirteen foster sons adopted by King Ning.
In order to maintain his prestige in the army, King Ning not only used a large number of clan children, but also adopted thirteen brave sons, known as the Thirteen Taibao.
Each of these thirteen names was good at fighting, and King Ning also held them in high regard.
"Sure, remember to catch someone alive and bring them back."
Seeing his adopted son asking for a fight, King Ning immediately agreed.
"Thank you, Father!"
Long Shisan stomped down to the top of the city. Not long after, a group of elite mighty cavalry rushed out of the city gate, and killed Li Lang and the others along a reserved passage.
"Shuai Li, there are mighty cavalry!"
Seeing a group of elite cavalry from the mighty army rushing out, the guard cavalry of the Qinghe Army who were in charge of guarding were all as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Li Shuai, we've seen enough today, let's go back."
Zhou Ba didn't want Li Lang to make any mistakes, so he persuaded Li Lang to return to the camp.
"What, are you afraid?"
Seeing the group of mighty cavalry approaching like thunder and lightning, Li Lang's face remained normal.
"I'm not afraid to the extent that I'm afraid, I'm just worried that Li Shuai may make a mistake." Zhou Ba said with a smile.
"There are only two or three hundred of them. How about loosening up?" Li Lang looked at Zhou Ba and asked.
"Li Shuai, this is against the commander's regulations." Zhou Ba showed embarrassment.
After all, every general is fought on the battlefield, and it is not easy to train a general who is good at fighting.
Therefore, Chen Zi'ang stipulated that all generals above the head of the banner, unless they had to, were not allowed to fight in the battlefield, and their task was to sit in command.
"As long as you don't say it, then God knows what I know, and the commander-in-chief will not know."
As Li Lang said, he turned his eyes to the cavalry guards behind him and said, "Do you think so?"
"yes!"
"Since Li Shuai wants to have a good time, then I should accompany him!"
Zhou Ba, the deputy commander, hadn't fought in battle for a long time. Seeing that Li Lang wanted to go up and fight, he hesitated for a few seconds, and then took advantage of the situation and pulled out the saber at his waist.
