"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1052
The original task of the 25th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Guards was to guard against possible reinforcements from the enemy on the southwest front line.
However, later Chen Ziang ordered the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry to take over their tasks. After all, cavalry were not good at attacking cities, so they replaced the 25th Banner Regiment of the Guards.
And the 25th Banner Regiment of the Guards lived up to Chen Ziang's high hopes, tearing through the defense line at the south gate of Qingcheng Mansion in one fell swoop.
Good news came from the front line frequently. After the 25th Banner Regiment entered the city, it quickly attacked along several main roads in the city, and quickly occupied a series of important strongholds such as the Admiral's Mansion, Armory Depot, and Grain Depot in Qingcheng Mansion.
The head of the 25th Banner Regiment personally led the 10,000 brothers from two banner battalions to penetrate near the east gate, and began to attack the rear of the imperial guards.
The Qinghe army's sword and shield soldiers and spear soldiers cooperated extremely skillfully, and those soldiers with bows and crossbows climbed to the roof and fired at the imperial guards condescendingly.
Under the onslaught of the Qinghe Army, the imperial guards guarding several street intersections were quickly defeated.
"General, the general situation is over, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."
Liu Yan, General Zhengdong, is personally supervising the battle near the east gate at this moment, trying to block the gap first, and then turn around and take back the south gate.
However, the 26th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Guards who fought against them near the East Gate was not a vegetarian either.
Although the corpses on the ruins were piled up like mountains, and the Qinghe army suffered huge casualties, their fighting will was exceptionally tenacious.
The two sides repeatedly rushed near the east gate, especially the gap in the ruins, and even changed hands repeatedly.
The 26th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army never retreated, and the tenacious will made the imperial guards also frightened.
Liu Yan was unable to defeat the Qinghe army near the east gate for a long time, but the Qinghe army intruding from the south gate had already killed them, and even tried to turn around and annihilate them near the east gate.
Although Liu Yan was extremely unwilling, he also knew that Qingcheng Mansion could not be defended.
If he continued to fight with the Qinghe army near the east gate, they might be wiped out.
Seeing the battlefield almost filled with a layer of blood mist in the air, Liu Yan, General Zhengdong, also had red eyes, he was not reconciled.
"General, withdraw, if you don't leave, it will be too late."
Seeing the screams of killing on the side streets, their blocking troops retreated steadily after being killed, and the generals of the imperial guards were shouting loudly.
"Blow the horn and retreat in the direction of Long'an Mansion!"
Seeing the battlefield where corpses were strewn across the field, Liu Yan finally gave the order to retreat.
The exhausted Imperial Guard soldiers who had already been killed all heaved a sigh of relief when they heard the sound of the retreating horn.
After the soldiers of the Imperial Guard swung their swords feignedly, they immediately turned around and retreated in the direction of the west gate.
"Brothers, kill, don't let them get away!"
The brothers of the 26th Banner Regiment of the Guards of the Qinghe Army, who were also red-eyed, saw that the Guards were about to run, and dragged their exhausted bodies one by one to pursue them.
Ten thousand brothers from the 25th Banner Regiment of the Guards rushed out from the slanting stabs and surrounded nearly ten thousand Guards troops who were too late to retreat.
"General, three battalions of brothers have been surrounded!"
Liu Yan was leading the imperial guards to retreat hastily, when suddenly a cavalry chased him up and shouted loudly at him.
"I can't care about so much anymore, withdraw!"
Liu Yan saw that nearly ten thousand people were entangled and surrounded. At this moment, he only wanted to escape, and he had no intention of going back to rescue.
The two banner regiments of the Qinghe Army surrounded nearly ten thousand imperial guards and strangled them on several streets.
At the same time, a Qinghe army chased after Liu Yan and his ass.
"Set fire to stop them!"
Seeing the Qinghe army chasing up from behind, Liu Yan ordered the retreating troops to set fire while running.
The soldiers of the Guards threw the lit torches one by one towards the shops and courtyards facing the street.
These places burned quickly, billowing thick smoke rose, and the flames swept across, causing the chasing Qinghe army to curse angrily.
Liu Yan ignited several streets, plunged these areas into a sea of ??flames, and the heat wave roiled, forcing the Qinghe army to retreat and detour.
"An order was sent to the 13th Banner Regiment of the Guards Cavalry to dispatch two banner battalions to pursue Liu Yan.Department! "
Chen Ziang, who was in charge of coordinating and commanding outside the city, saw Liu Yan's remnants fleeing, and also issued a military order to the cavalry unit defending the enemy's reinforcements in the southwest.
After all, compared with infantry pursuit, cavalry is more mobile and more suitable for chasing and destroying the enemy.
It's just that the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry is in the southwest of Qingcheng Mansion, guarding several roads and villages and towns. It still takes time from order to action.
Liu Yan led the remnants out of Qingcheng Mansion, and then fled towards Long'an Mansion to the west like a dog in mourning.
The main force of the Imperial Guard Hu Ziyang is stationed in Long'an Mansion. As long as they escape to Long'an Mansion, they will be safe.
Qingcheng Mansion fell before it lasted a day, and there were less than 10,000 Imperial Guard soldiers who escaped with Liu Yan.
Thinking back to the time when I led an army of 100,000 in high spirits, now after a few months, the army of 100,000 has been exhausted in battles, and now there are only more than 10,000 people left.
Seeing the smoky and blood-stained remnants and defeated generals behind him, Liu Yan's heart was also bleeding.
"Thieves, I will make a comeback in the future, and I will definitely tear you to pieces!"
Seeing the thick smoke billowing from Qingcheng Mansion, Liu Yan, General Zhengdong, also gritted his teeth with hatred.
The Qinghe Army breached Qingcheng Mansion in a short period of time, but they also suffered heavy losses near the east gate, so they did not pursue it, because he knew that Liu Yan would not be able to escape.
Because the 22nd and 23rd Banner Regiment of Guards led by Tan Feng penetrated into the area west of Qingcheng Mansion.
Their interspersed troops were mainly responsible for blocking aid and intercepting the rout in the direction of Qingcheng Mansion, with a full force of 40,000 troops.
Liu Yan and the others had fought bloody battles for so long, and suffered heavy losses. They lost all their supplies and retreated westward with low morale.
In the evening, the exhausted Liu Yan's troops stopped because they found that the road to the west had been cut off.
"The general is the banner of the bandit army."
Seeing the Qinghe army and flying flags all over the mountains and plains ahead, Liu Yan also wiped his eyes, worried that his eyes would be blurred.
However, he finally found out that it was indeed the Qinghe army that blocked their way, and the opponent had a lot of troops.
"Could it be that the thief army has grown wings, how could it appear here?!"
Seeing the Qinghe Army troops blocking the way ahead, Liu Yan was also full of boredom.
"General, the bandit cavalry is catching up from behind!"
At this time, a scout from the rear came galloping on a light horse, and shouted loudly from a long distance away.
It's okay if you don't shout, this shout immediately exploded the remnants of the Imperial Guard who were already demoralized.
There were wolves in front and tigers in back, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who wanted to survive didn't care so much at the moment. Many people began to sneak out of the team and headed into the fields and woods.
For these Imperial Guard soldiers, rather than being annihilated along with the large force, it is better to find a way out by themselves.
At the beginning, a few people sneaked away secretly, and soon developed into groups of three or four, and some officers even took off their uniforms and took the lead as deserters.
When Liu Yan learned that someone in the team was a deserter, thousands of imperial guards had already thrown away their weapons and uniforms and left the team without authorization, and ran towards the surrounding wilderness.
