    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1047

    The five Guards Banner Regiments led by Chen Ziang adopted a central breakthrough tactic, and they had a large number of weapons and equipment and strength advantages.

    ? Within a distance of more than 30 miles from the border area to the capital of Qingcheng Prefecture, three market towns and one county seat were taken down without any effort.

    The guards guarding the market town range from 1,000 to 3,000 guards, and there are only more than 10,000 guards stationed in the county.

    According to the thinking of the imperial guards, even if the Qinghe army attacked fiercely, they could still rely on the towns and cities to block the attack and buy time for the rear.

    However, the Qinghe army will not follow the routine, and directly send a powerful army to push.

    For any town that resisted, dozens or hundreds of catapults of the Qinghe Army first bombarded and destroyed the enemy's will.

    Then under the cover of strong bows and crossbows, the Qinghe army besieged on all sides like a tide.

    In the Qinghe army's tactics of crushing by strength, these market towns with few troops were quickly occupied by the Qinghe army.

    "The 24th Banner Regiment of the Guards occupied the villages and towns and main roads on the northeast front line, blocked possible enemy reinforcements from the direction of Xixiangfu, and protected the flanks of the army."

    "The Twenty-Fifth Banner Regiment of the Guards occupied the main roads of villages and towns on the southwest front line, blocked possible enemy reinforcements in the direction of Tianjin Mansion, and protected the flanks of the army."

    When Chen Ziang led the army to advance all the way, he also separated two guard flag regiments to arrange on the two wings to prevent the attacks of the enemies on the two wings.

    This time, Chen Ziang's target was Liu Yan's troops in Qingcheng Mansion, but the defensive layout of the Imperial Guard's front line was such that the three mansions could support each other.

    Whether it is the Qinghe Army attacking Xixiang Mansion, Tianjin Mansion or Qingcheng Mansion, the other two mansions can provide reinforcements in time to ensure the stability of the defense line.

    Moreover, Hu Ziyang, the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guard, was stationed at the Long'an Mansion in the rear, and he also had a mobile force in his hand.

    If the front line can't hold on, he can still lead the army to support the front line. It can be said that his defense arrangement is watertight.

    This time, Chen Ziang did not attack Xixiang Mansion and Tianjin Mansion on the two wings, but went directly to Qingcheng Mansion in the middle road. He also had his own considerations.

    Because whether it is fighting Xixiang Mansion or Tianjin Mansion, their Qinghe Army has to travel a long distance, and the roads are full of potholes, which is not conducive to the rapid passage of weapons and equipment.

    However, if you go directly to the Qingcheng Mansion in the middle, the road is flat. Although you may face threats from the two wings, as long as you deal with it properly, you can pull out your teeth and wipe out the enemies in the Qingcheng Mansion area.

    And if the enemies of Qingcheng Mansion are wiped out, then the defensive front of the imperial guards at the front three points and one line will be shaken.

    At that time, whether the Qinghe army goes to the northeast to attack Xixiang Mansion or the southwest to attack Tianjin Mansion, it will all depend on the wishes of the Qinghe Army.

    This is to hit a snake and hit seven inches. As long as the Qingcheng Mansion in the middle is taken down, the first line of defense of the Imperial Guard will be useless.

    The Qinghe Army took the cavalry as the vanguard, followed by a large number of infantry, quickly tore through the defense line of the Imperial Guard in the middle, and charged in depth.

    After nightfall, on the road leading northwest to Qingcheng Mansion, the marching army formed a long dragon of torches, with no end in sight.

    "What, the bandit army is less than ten miles away from Qingcheng Mansion!"

    The troops stationed in the area of ??Qingcheng Mansion were under the command of General Liu Yan of the Imperial Guard Army Zhengdong. When Liu Yan heard the panic report from his generals, he was also shocked.

    You must know that their Qingcheng Mansion is more than 30 miles away from the front line, and there are many towns in the middle, with more than 20,000 people stationed there.

    Now that the Qinghe Army is about to arrive at Qingcheng Mansion, it means that these places have been captured.

    And he didn't get any news, which made Liu Yan break out in a cold sweat.

    "How many bandits are there?"

    "Their fronts are all cavalry. Judging from the designation, it is the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of their cavalry. There should be 20,000 people."

    "We have a scout Qingqi who has escaped to report. The direction of Liuhe is full of flames. It is estimated that Liuhe County has been captured by the bandit army."

    "Careless, careless."

    Until now, Liu Yan remembered the report of the scout officer two days ago, saying what kind of drill the Qinghe Army will conduct in the next few days.

    Liu Yan didn't take it seriously when he heard it at the time, but he never thought that the Qinghe Army's drill was fake and the attack was real.

    "Pass my military order to withdraw all the troops from the barracks outside the city to Qingcheng Prefecture, hurry up!"

    20,000 cavalry from the Qinghe Army turned around and arrived.?For the 20,000 brave cavalry troops, once the barracks outside the city are cut off from supplies, the entire army is in danger of being wiped out.

    Therefore, Liu Yan's first order was to withdraw the troops outside the city to the city, which will be guarded by 30,000 to 40,000 troops.

    There are 30,000 to 40,000 imperial guards and a strong city, so they can hold on for a few days and wait for reinforcements.

    "Quickly send people to Long'an Mansion, and tell them that the bandit army is attacking us, and they are coming towards our Qingcheng Mansion. Liuhe and other places have already fallen, please help the Generalissimo!"

    Liu Yan's second order was to urgently send someone to report the news to Generalissimo Hu Ziyang of the Imperial Guard in Long'an Mansion in the rear.

    Soon, more than a dozen fast riders rushed out of Qingcheng Mansion, escaped into the darkness, and went to deliver orders.

    On the main road to the northwest of Qingcheng Mansion, not long after the Qingcheng Mansion's fast-riding horse galloped past, a ghostly army emerged from the darkness.

    This army is the 22nd Guards and 40,000 brothers from the 23rd Banner Regiment led by Tan Feng of the Guards Corps.

    What they were performing was the mission of infiltration and penetration, the purpose of which was to cut off the enemy's retreat in Qingcheng Prefecture and at the same time block the enemy's reinforcements in the direction of Long'an Prefecture.

    Tan Feng and the others walked wilderness paths, even drilled ditches and forests. They were all lazy and embarrassed, but they were full of fighting spirit.

    "The 22nd Banner Regiment defends the direction of Long'an Mansion, and the 23rd Banner Regiment is responsible for intercepting the enemies in the direction of Qingcheng Mansion!"

    Stepping onto the main road, Tan Feng quickly gave an order when he saw the road extending to both sides into the darkness.

    The brothers of the two banner regiments quickly spread out along the main road, one banner regiment was responsible for blocking reinforcements from the direction of Long'an Mansion, and the other was responsible for intercepting the fleeing enemies from the direction of Qingcheng Mansion.

    Although these two flag regiments are newly formed, they have also undergone rigorous training and battlefield drills.

    Under the leadership of officers at all levels, they quickly picked up their shovels and began to dig trenches, destroy roads, and cut down nearby trees to set up defensive facilities such as horse repelling and wood rowing.

    At this moment, Liu Yan, who was busy making defensive preparations in Qingcheng Mansion, did not know that an army had penetrated behind him.

    This night, the Qingcheng Mansion was full of hustle and bustle, and the mobilization of soldiers and horses was extremely frequent. Tens of thousands of guards were busy preparing for the battle.

    And the 13th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Guards Cavalry also rushed outside the Qingcheng Mansion. If the enemies here dared to flee, they would launch an assault now.

    Seeing the densely packed torches outside the city, the imperial guards at the top of the city also felt their scalps go numb.

    "Send people to Xixiang Mansion and Tianjin Mansion to warn, saying that the bandit army is coming towards Qingcheng Mansion. I will stand here and wait for help. They can attack at the right time to cut off the bandit army's retreat, and cooperate with the marshal's army to wipe out the bandit army.  "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
