"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1245
Under the gloomy sky, smoke billowed from Zicheng Mansion, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The units of the Qinghe Army rushed to reach Zicheng Mansion and experienced a whole morning of fighting, and the soldiers were exhausted.
Chen Ziang did not order the army to pursue the Skitarii, he knew the truth that haste makes waste.
Now all the flag regiments of the Qinghe Army are exhausted. If they catch up now, once a large-scale decisive battle breaks out, they may fight for days and nights.
With the current exhausted state of the Qinghe army, if they are counterattacked by the teaching guards at that time, they may lose their footing if they are not stable.
After sharpening the knife and chopping firewood, Chen Ziang was not in a hurry when he learned that most of the food in the Zicheng mansion had been destroyed by the fire.
The Skitarii did not have enough food and fodder, so even if they ran now, they probably wouldn't be able to run very far.
Therefore, Chen Ziang ordered all the troops to stop the pursuit, and after releasing the security troops, the banner regiments rested in place.
When Chen Zi'ang, the new emperor of the Far East Empire, was surrounded by his generals, he entered the Zicheng Mansion. Along the roadside, there were rows of sleeping Qinghe Army soldiers everywhere in the ditches. They were too tired.
Seeing these Qinghe army brothers snoring loudly, Chen Ziang also felt that his order was wise.
?Use a tired force to pursue the enemy. Even if you can catch up, you may not be able to destroy the opponent.
All units of the Qinghe Army stopped advancing at Zicheng Mansion. They seized the time to gather up the soldiers who fell behind and took the time to rest.
Chen Ziang was able to enter the city of Zichengfu along a cleared passage.
When the Guardian Army came over, most of the people in Zicheng Mansion had already been evacuated by the Qinghe Army.
There are still a small number of people who are unwilling to evacuate and are also persecuted by the cataracts. They died and escaped, so there are almost no living people in the entire Zicheng Mansion.
Here is a traffic artery, so the Skitarii used this place as a place for grain storage and transshipment.
It's just that they didn't expect to be raided by the 37th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army, so that the Skitarii fell into a passive state.
When Chen Ziang walked into the Zicheng Mansion, he found that the streets and houses near the city wall had been demolished, and there were scattered debris everywhere.
A dense layer of corpses was spread on the street, including those of the Skitarii and soldiers of the Qinghe Army. They were entangled with each other, and their bodies were frozen and frozen.
The ditch beside the street was glowing red, many corpses were soaked in blood, and mosquitoes were flying around.
The Skitarii took down Zicheng Mansion just before dawn, so before they even had time to clean up the battlefield, Zicheng Mansion changed hands again.
Therefore, what Chen Ziang saw was a tragic battlefield scene, extending from the city gate to the inside of the city, with ruined walls and piles of corpses and blood everywhere.
Seeing the pile of corpses, Chen Ziang seemed to have seen the bloody battle between the brothers of the 37th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army and the enemy here.
However, there were too many enemies. Although the brothers of the 37th Banner Regiment fought to the end, Zicheng Mansion fell in the end.
In the ruins of the city, a large number of Qinghe Army soldiers who entered the Zicheng Mansion were rummaging through the corpses for survivors.
But until Chen Ziang entered the city, they rummaged through countless corpses, but still did not find a single survivor.
When seeing a brother named Qinghe Jun being chopped down in a horrible way, and someone being shot into a hedgehog by arrows, the brothers who were in charge of searching for survivors were also full of anger.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
Seeing Chen Zi'ang's arrival, Gu Xingteng, the head of the Sixth Banner of the Guards, who was covered in blood all over his body, also strode forward to meet him.
"Are there any brothers from the 37th Banner Regiment alive?" Chen Ziang asked in a deep voice.
Gu Xingteng, head of the Sixth Banner of the Guards, shook his head with a look of sadness on his face.
"Your Majesty, the brothers are doing their best to search, and no living brothers have been found so far."
After hearing Gu Xingteng's words, Chen Zi'ang, Xu Yong and others also felt particularly heavy.
? Since the establishment of the Qinghe Army, they have fought countless victories, although they have also suffered a lot of defeats.
However, it was the first time that a banner regiment of 20,000 people was wiped out in battle. It was undoubtedly a huge loss for the Qinghe Army, which was victorious.
"Disdain everything"At this price, search for survivors with all your strength, even if you still have a breath, find them from the pile of corpses and save them! "
When Chen Ziang saw the bloody battlefield, he also gave the order to die.
"No!"
Gu Xingteng, the head of the Sixth Banner of the Guards, also stood up to take the order, and immediately threw himself into the search and rescue.
"Send an order to Li Lang, be sure to stop the fleeing cathars on the border of Shenglei City, and I will use their heads to pay homage to the souls of the brothers of the 37th Banner Regiment!" Chen Ziang turned his head murderously and ordered.
"No!"
Xu Yong, the commander of the Eighth Army, also knew that Chen Ziang was angry in his heart, and after responding, he asked the herald to deliver the order quickly.
"Report!"
As soon as the herald left, an officer galloped in from outside the city on horseback.
"Your Majesty, we captured a group of Skitarii prisoners in the field outside the city. After identification, they are the brothers who broke through from the 37th Banner Regiment." The officer said anxiously after reining in his horse.
Hearing that there were still survivors from the 37th Banner Regiment, Chen Ziang and the others all looked happy.
"Lead the way!"
Soon, Chen Zi'ang and the others were taken to a temporary camp of the Qinghe army outside the city, where dozens of women wearing cathar uniforms were being questioned.
Seeing Chen Ziang's arrival, everyone stood up and saluted Chen Ziang.
"Your Majesty, they are all from the medical team of the 37th Banner Regiment. During the melee last night, the head of the Zhu Yimao Banner sent someone to lead them out." The officer in charge of the inquiry reported to Chen Ziang.
Zhu Yimao, head of the 37th Banner, knew that the Zicheng Mansion could not be defended, so in order to prevent these women from falling into the hands of the enemy.
So he sent his confidant officers to lead a group of brothers to cover them and break out of the siege. They changed into the military uniforms of the cathars, and escaped from the Zicheng mansion by luck.
It's just that after leading Feng Ruxue and the other female medical soldiers to break through the siege, the team of Qinghe Army brothers who were covering them turned back and fought back into the city, threatening to fight the brothers to the end.
Enemies were everywhere around them, Feng Ruxue and the others did not dare to run around. After dawn, they hid in a waist-deep thatched grass in the field, and were discovered by the Qinghe army's search force.
If they hadn't revealed their identities in time, the Qinghe army's search troops would have thought they were enemies and would have shot arrows at them.
These female medical soldiers who walked through the gate of hell were all in a panic. Although they were safe at the moment, they were still in shock.
"Your Majesty, quickly send someone to rescue Commander Zhu Qi and the others. They are about to lose their hold. There are too many enemies."
When Feng Ruxue heard that the person standing in front of her was Chen Ziang, the emperor of the Far East Empire, she begged bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I explained to her that she doesn't believe that we have occupied Zicheng Mansion to drive away the enemy, and she keeps asking us to send troops to rescue." The officer in charge of the inquiry said helplessly.
"We have driven away the enemy and occupied Zicheng Mansion." Chen Ziang said to Feng Ruxue.
"How about Commander Zhu Qi and the others? How are they doing?"
After receiving Chen Zi'ang's personal answer, Feng Ruxue finally believed that the Qinghe Army had really driven off the enemy and took back the Zicheng Mansion.
"We are doing our best to find their whereabouts."
Seeing Feng Ruxue with a worried face, Chen Ziang replied after a pause. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
