"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 975
Before the battle officially started, the Mighty Army lost a brave general, which really angered Prince Ning.
However, King Ning also realized the strength of the Qinghe army. If they fought recklessly, they would definitely not be opponents.
Now that the court of the capital has agreed to send troops to Luyang Province, they just need to drag the Qinghe army here.
Anyway, they built solid and complete military fortifications, and gathered tens of thousands of troops drawn from various prefectures and counties in the city, enough to last for ten days and a half months.
After the main force of their mighty army arrives, their defense here will be further strengthened.
They only need to consume the Qinghe army here, and when the imperial army arrives, it will be the end of the Qinghe army.
King Ning ordered all fronts in the provincial capital to increase their alertness. Without his order, they are not allowed to attack without authorization, otherwise they will be killed without mercy.
That night, the Qinghe army camped out of the city clangingly, and huge hard drives stood on the outskirts of the city, like fortified cities.
The Qinghe army also has strict rules and regulations when setting up camp, so it has all kinds of horse and deer firewood, barbed wire areas, trenches, fences, and sentry towers.
? If anyone dared to sneak attack the Qinghe army's camp at night, it would be impossible to return.
More than 200,000 Qinghe troops gathered outside the provincial capital of Luyang, making the provincial capital densely covered with battle clouds and the atmosphere tense.
Early the next morning, Tian Changjie's Seventh Banner Regiment, Wu Sen's Tenth Banner Regiment and Wang Mingyang's Sixteenth Banner Regiment left the camp and headed straight for the provincial capital.
At the same time, more than 20,000 cavalry from the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Cavalry also mobilized to provide them with cover on the flanks.
Three infantry banner regiments and one cavalry banner regiment, a total of 60,000 troops, formed steel phalanxes outside the provincial capital city.
The Qinghe Army has strict military discipline, and the soldiers with cold faces are lined up in a neat horizontal line. The team is silent, and there is a murderous look invisibly.
"Fourth, give me a severe blow to the arrogance of the bandit army today, and take revenge on the thirteenth."
Surrounded by everyone, King Ning stood under the city tower, saw the formation of the Qinghe army in the distance, and called Long Si to his front.
Long Si is also one of the Thirteen Taibaos. He is extremely powerful, and he is good at wielding a heavy copper hammer. He can also be regarded as a mighty general in the mighty army.
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely let the blood of the bandits flow like rivers!"
Long Si waved the copper hammer in his hand, and said viciously.
Long Si bid farewell to King Ning, and then went straight to the frontal defensive position outside the city, where there were already more than 20,000 mighty troops and recruited civilians.
While the Mighty Army was actively preparing for the battle, Zhou Ba, the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, also completed the task arrangement.
The Qinghe Army had formulated a battle plan last night, which was to encircle and aid the capital of Luyang Province.
In order to further attract reinforcements to the provincial capital, the Qinghe army needed to launch a fierce attack to disturb the sight of the defenders.
Therefore, the deputy commander Zhou Ba directly led the 60,000 troops of the four banner regiments to the front line, preparing to carry out this task.
"Boom boom! Boom boom"
Soon, the thunderous battle drums sounded in the formation of the Qinghe Army, and at the same time, the loud and clear horns also sounded.
"go ahead!"
Wu Sen, the head of the Tenth Banner, pulled out the bright saber from his waist, raised his arms and shouted.
The 20,000 Qinghe Army infantry of the Tenth Banner Regiment lined up horizontally, moving with a bang, rolling forward with sonorous and powerful steps.
At the same time, the fifteen trebuchets temporarily assigned to the Tenth Banner Regiment also moved forward slowly under the push of the soldiers.
Seeing the Qinghe Army's battle flag fluttering, the army slowly moved towards this side, and the soldiers of the Mighty Army who were deployed on the front line outside the city also tensed up, and their breathing became short of breath.
After the fifteen trebuchets of the Qinghe Army came into range, they stopped one after another, and the stone bombs pulled on the carriages were also lifted down one after another to prepare for the launch.
When the infantry of the Qinghe Army was still a few hundred steps away from the first trench, the trebuchets of the Qinghe Army began to roar.
Wu Sen, the head of the Tenth Banner, only heard the ear-piercing whistling sound passing over his head. Looking up, more than a dozen stone bullets were slamming towards the mighty army's position in a beautiful parabola.
"Be careful and dodge!"
"Be careful and dodge!"
mightyWhen the officers saw the huge stone bomb thrown at them, they also roared at the top of their lungs.
The soldiers of the Mighty Army hid behind fences and trenches in fear, praying for their own good luck.
"Boom!"
The first stone bomb fell on the position of the mighty army and hit a tent in the trench.
The pots and pans in the tent were smashed and flew around in an instant, and the stone bombs were also deeply embedded in the soil.
"Boom!"
Another stone bomb fell heavily, and a hole was smashed out of the solid fence.
The unabated stone bounced and flew out, hitting the mighty army hiding in the trench. Suddenly, the bones of more than a dozen mighty soldiers were shattered and their bodies deformed.
The stone bullets kept falling on the position of the mighty army, and the mighty army was constantly being hit, and the ground was violently trembling.
When the Qinghe Army's stone bombs were roaring, the Qinghe Army's infantry also arrived in front of the trench and stopped.
"Fire the arrow!"
Amidst the cold shouts of the officers of the Qinghe Army, the archers holding hard bows bent their bows and set up their arrows one after another, then adjusted their angles and started shooting.
The dense rain of arrows fell on the position of the mighty army. Although the soldiers of the mighty army held up their shields to protect themselves, the screams were still coming and going on the entire front.
"Smash them for me!"
When the Qinghe Army was conducting a conventional attack, Long Si also gave orders viciously behind the mighty army's position.
In this deep trench, there are actually more than a dozen trebuchets arranged. Although they are not as exquisite as the Qinghe army, they are still solid trebuchets.
After all, with the outbreak of battles everywhere, whether it is the court or the rebels, all kinds of weapons that were abandoned in peacetime have been remanufactured one after another.
The mighty army also gathered craftsmen to make trebuchets, and they were arranged outside and around the city.
Under the order of Long Si, the trebuchets of the Mighty Army also started to launch. Although their stone bombs were not specially made, they were also powerful stones.
Pieces of heavy stones flew out under the throw of the trebuchet, and smashed hard at the Qinghe army.
Wu Sen, the head of the Tenth Banner, was sitting on his horse and watching the army's orderly attack, but when he saw the stones flying out of the mighty army's position, his expression changed.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The stones of the Mighty Army trebuchets are of different sizes, and their accuracy is far worse.
More than a dozen stones were smashed out, except for two that hit the archers of the Qinghe Army, causing more than 30 casualties, the rest fell into nothingness one after another.
But even so, the Qinghe army was taken aback, especially when they saw their comrades smashed to death, the huge visual impact made them couldn't help but retreat.
"They have trebuchets, aim and destroy them for me!"
Wu Sen, the head of the Tenth Banner, galloped up to the catapult on his side, pointed at the direction of the catapult that was being fired at the mighty army position, and roared loudly.
