The troops led by Xu Yong have indeed gone through hardships, but they are not fighting the Qinghe army along the way, but are tired from the rush of marching day and night.
The cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army captured towns and cities with lightning speed, and defeated the garrison troops everywhere.
The advancing speed of Qinghe army cavalry was too fast, almost all of Xu Yong's militia troops were infantry, how could two legs run faster than four.
Along the way, Xu Yong gathered the scattered soldiers who were defeated by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, and incorporated the defenders of those small towns, and his strength was also growing rapidly.
Although Xu Yong and the Qinghe Army had reached a tacit agreement that the Qinghe Army would not attack them, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Xu Yong still chose the path and deliberately avoided the small cavalry of the Qinghe Army.
After all, not everyone knows that Xu Yong is an undercover agent. Now that the soldiers of the Qinghe Army are eager to do meritorious service, if they catch him, he will have no place to cry.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army appeared on the outskirts of the capital of Jiangbei Province four days ago, which really shocked Governor Xu Zhenxiong.
?In the past few days, the governor Xu Zhenxiong and the provincial garrison troops in the city can be said to be very worried. They can't sleep well, worrying about the sudden attack of the Qinghe army.
After all, the Qinghe Army had just wiped out Qin Feng's 200,000 troops, and the soldiers were in full swing. Everyone was full of fear for the Qinghe Army.
Fortunately, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army only circled the provincial capital, destroyed the fortifications outside the city, and did not attack the city.
"My lord, my lord¡ª¡ª"
?Governor Xu Zhenxiong has had trouble sleeping and eating for the past few days, and has been worried all the time. Just as he picked up his job, a subordinate official rushed into the Governor's Mansion in a hurry.
"But the bandits attacked the city?"
Governor Xu Zhenxiong hurriedly put down his job, stood up and asked the panting officer worriedly.
"Your Excellency, it's not a bandit army. Our army has appeared outside the city." The officer said happily.
"Our army?"
Governor Xu Zhenxiong was also full of astonishment, and soon he showed surprise.
"But the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived?" Xu Zhenxiong said excitedly, grabbing the sleeves of his subordinates.
"No, under the banner of the 20th Corps of the People's Army."
"Nonsense, the 20th Corps has been wiped out, how could it appear outside the city?"
Xu Zhenxiong urgently ordered: "I'm afraid it's the bandits in disguise. Without my order, you are not allowed to open the city!"
"No!"
The smile on the officer's face faded, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly turned around to convey the order.
Governor Xu Zhenxiong was still a little worried when he saw the officials leaving in a hurry.
After all, his whole family is now in the provincial capital, so there is no room for him to be careless.
A moment later, surrounded by a group of armored soldiers, Xu Zhenxiong, the governor of the province in a cloak, also boarded the tower.
Outside the south gate of the provincial capital, there was a scuffle at the moment. A large number of militia soldiers were rushing towards the city gate, surrounded by a large number of cavalry from the Qinghe Army, and the battle was extremely fierce.
If someone with a heart observes carefully, he will find that the cavalry of the Qinghe Army specially selects and kills soldiers wearing local garrison uniforms.
Because the garrison soldiers in these places were recruited by Xu Yong along the way, not from the civilian army system.
The so-called acting is a full set. Xu Yong and the Qinghe army acted in such a play, nothing more than trying to win the trust of the defenders in the city.
The two armies outside the city were killed in a trance, and the governor Xu Zhenxiong at the top of the city was also terrified.
"We are the troops of General Xu Yong, the deputy general, quickly open the city and let us in!"
Soon, the civilian army led by Xu Yong broke through the Qinghe Army cavalry blockade and rushed to the city gate after some fighting.
Seeing the militia troops covered in mud, dust and blood, the soldiers of the garrison at the top of the city also felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"My lord governor, it seems that he really belongs to that barbarian Xu Yong."
The generals and officials of the provincial garrison at the head of the city saw their costumes and flags, and felt that they did not seem to be fake.
"Aren't they completely wiped out? Why did they come back all of a sudden?" Someone was full of doubts.
"Maybe there are other secrets, why not put them in the city and find out when you ask."
"No, if they surrendered to the bandit army, wouldn't we be leading wolves into the house."
Governor Xu Zhenxiong couldn't make up his mind, and the officials were all talking.? Opinions vary.
"Your Excellency, we have fled all the way back to this place, please let us enter the city!"
Xu Yong saw that the front of the city looked like an enemy, and he was unwilling to open the city gate, so he had to go out in person.
Xu Yong was very famous when he was stationed in the provincial capital. He had clashed with the provincial guard several times, so Xu Zhenxiong naturally recognized him.
Xu Zhenxiong would have been rude to Xu Yong long ago if it hadn't been for the face of General Xiaoqi Qin Feng.
Now seeing Xu Yong fleeing back with his troops in a panic, he was also secretly proud.
Aren't you Xu Yong very good at fighting, why are you asking me now?
"My lord governor, they still have tens of thousands of elites, why don't we let them enter the city, and it will also strengthen my defense forces."
"There is no general to lead the army in the capital of our province. Xu Yong has always been strong and brave. If he is in charge of city defense, he will definitely be able to repel the bandits."
"My lord governor, let them in quickly. If he is pushed into a hurry and joins the bandits in a fit of anger, the loss outweighs the gain."
The officials at the top of the city also recognized Xu Yong. Seeing the hesitation of Governor Xu Zhenxiong, they spoke one after another.
These officials and generals didn't really like Xu Yong, a stunned young man, but for their own sake.
?After all, with the Qinghe army overwhelming the border, although the provincial capital has 60,000 newly recruited provincial garrison troops, there are no generals who can afford it.
Now Xu Yong led an elite army to flee back. They felt that if Xu Yong was in charge of defending the city, their lives would be guaranteed.
Although Governor Xu Zhenxiong was very unhappy with Xu Yong, he had to admit that Xu Yong was indeed a brave general.
? In the early stage of Qin Feng's conquest of the Qinghe Army, Xu Yong served as a vanguard officer and attacked the city all the way. Governor Xu Zhenxiong also knew about it.
"Kaicheng!"
After repeated hesitation, Governor Xu Zhenxiong decided to let Xu Yong and his army enter the city.
After all, with a strong general like Xu Yong and his elite soldiers in the provincial capital, the probability of holding it is much greater.
In the face of life and death, he had to let go of his personal grievances towards Xu Yong and focus on the overall situation.
The city gate creaked open, Xu Yong waved his hand, and the soldiers of the militia marched into the city.
After such a short delay, the local garrison soldiers recruited by Xu Yong along the way were abruptly beheaded thousands of heads by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, which made Xu Yong feel distressed.
However, after experiencing such a bloody battle with real swords and guns, the defenders in the city no longer have any doubts about them.
Xu Yong led the troops into the city, and Governor Xu Zhenxiong also surrounded him with a group of officials.
"Xu Yong pays homage to the governor, and I have met all of you. I, Xu Yong, will never forget the kindness of saving my life today. I will definitely repay you in the future."
At this moment, Xu Yong's armor was torn and his body was covered in dust. He also looked in a state of distress, like a defeated army.
"Xu Yong, didn't you follow Old General Qin? I heard that your entire army was wiped out, why did you lead the army back alone?"
After the two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, Governor Xu Zhenxiong couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart, and everyone turned their attention to Xu Yong.
"Reporting to the governor, the army was indeed wiped out, but I was ordered to lead the army to station in Anling, and I was lucky enough to escape. This prevented the bandit cavalry from chasing me all the way, so I saved my life."
Xu Yong also told the governor Xu Zhenxiong and others about their experiences in detail, and everyone was also deeply moved.
? While they felt sorry for Old General Qin, they also lamented that Xu Yong's luck was really good.
"Your Excellency, I have offended you a lot in the past. You have a lot of people. Please don't tell me. Today you saved my life, Xu Yong. From now on, I, Xu Yong, will follow the lead of the Governor!" (Remember this site URL: www. hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
