    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 575

    The admiral of Qingpu Mansion and the generals of the garrison fled Qingpu Mansion in embarrassment, and many places in the city burned, billowing black smoke straight into the sky.

    In the chaotic situation, the garrison battalion lost its command and was unable to control the situation. When they heard that the troops outside the city had withdrawn, they immediately dispersed.

    "My lord, the admiral and that stupid general have escaped."

    After Crazy Cheng and the others dealt with the resistance in the Admiral's Mansion, they discovered that the Admiral and the others had escaped through the back door.

    "If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. Sooner or later you will be caught by us."

    Although the beheading operation fell short, Madman Cheng didn't care.

    ?Because the raid on the Admiral's Mansion was originally an action of his own initiative, and their original task was to act as an internal response to seize Qingpu Mansion together.

    "My lord, the third unit has defeated the garrison battalion and occupied the city wall!"

    When Crazy Cheng and the others strode out of the Admiral's Mansion, a man in rough clothes came striding forward.

    "The garrison battalion is so unbeaten?" Crazy Cheng was also quite surprised.

    "It's like a mess. They were defeated when we charged, and they are running away now."

    After hearing the man's words, Madman Cheng and others burst out laughing.

    "Damn, this battle is really not fun." Some officers couldn't help complaining.

    Madman Cheng rolled his eyes at him: "Why don't you go and meet King Ning's mighty army?"

    "Hey, sooner or later we have to deal with them." The brother laughed.

    "Okay, let's not wait for the brothers from the Twelfth Banner Regiment, just seize the city!"

    With an order from Madman Cheng, the soldiers of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade mixed into the city moved quickly, captured the government office, robbed the warehouse, and the battle started in the city.

    Facing the wolves and tigers of the sharp blade assault brigade, the remaining defenders in the city were really vulnerable. In just half an hour, the black wolf flag slowly rose to the top of the city.

    "Damn it, they are just a bunch of animals!"

    When a banner battalion of the 12th Banner Regiment rushed to Qingpu Mansion panting, and found that the black wolf flag was already hanging on the top of the city, the leading banner battalion commander couldn't help cursing.

    They were too late to catch up, and the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade attacked Qingpu Mansion alone.

    "Where is Mr. Cheng?"

    The Banner Battalion Commander led 5,000 Qinghe Army troops into the city, and asked a soldier of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade standing guard at the gate of the city.

    The soldier of the Blade Assault Brigade stood up and replied: "My lord has left with his troops half an hour ago."

    The Banner Battalion Commander asked puzzledly, "Do you know where you went?"

    "Responding to my lord's words, our lord Cheng said that we are going to attack Yancheng Mansion." The soldier of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade replied.

    "What a madman!"

    The Sharp Blade Assault Brigade has gone through a series of battles, and now there are only more than 1,500 people.

    Now that Madman Cheng dared to go deep into the south of the Yangtze River to attack a mansion with such a force of more than a thousand people, it made people feel that he was completely crazy.

    While he was talking, there was the sound of rolling horseshoes in the distance, and a group of cavalry from the Qinghe Army was galloping towards them.

    This team of cavalry belonged to the 13th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army. They had already crossed the Dongjiang River through the pontoon bridge and arrived in the Jiangnan province.

    "Xi Lv¡ª¡ª"

    Seeing the infantry of the 12th Banner Regiment gathered outside the city of Qingpu Prefecture, and looking at the wolf flag hanging above the city, the leading cavalry officer reined in his horse.

    "Where did the dynasty army flee?" the cavalry officer asked loudly.

    "Reporting to my lord, we are defeated towards Yancheng." The soldiers of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade replied loudly.

    "Brother, thanks!"

    After the cavalry officer gave a military salute to the soldier of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade, he immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Go to Yancheng!"

    This group of more than 2,000 Qinghe Army cavalry did not enter the city, and directly bypassed the Qingpu Mansion in a mighty manner, and rushed towards the next mansion.

    "Damn, if only we had war horses."

    Seeing the cavalry crossing the river, but now running to the front, the banner battalion commander of the 12th Banner Regiment was also full of annoyance.

    "Master Banner Commander, are we going to enter the city?" a general asked.

    "You led the team to occupy here.?Don¡¯t be dumbfounded by the rest of us, let¡¯s go to Yancheng too, otherwise we¡¯ll be late and we won¡¯t be able to drink the soup!  "

    The Banner Battalion Commander of the 12th Banner Regiment left a team of thousands of people to enter the city to take over Qingpu Mansion, and immediately led the main force of the Banner Battalion to the next target.

    After the Qinghe army troops commanded by Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army, crossed the river, all the troops were like tigers descending from the mountain.

    The 12th Banner Regiment of the Infantry and the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry kept advancing towards the deep attack as if they were about to compete.

    Because the cavalry of the Thirteenth Banner Regiment attacked too fast, the infantry and the Twelfth Banner Regiment also took turns to avoid falling behind.

    That is when one banner camp is cooking by the roadside, while the other banner camp is marching non-stop.

    When the Qiying who had finished eating caught up, the other Qiying stopped to rest and eat.

    Relying on this method, their marching speed has reached a hundred miles a day.

    Many retreating dynasty troops sometimes just stopped to take a breath, and the Qinghe army had already surrounded them and captured them.

    In particular, the cavalry unit of the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army commanded by Lei Ming was even more ferocious.

    They attacked and advanced along the official road, facing the sturdy and brave cavalry troops, the towns along the way fell one after another.

    The Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry did not send troops to occupy these towns, but kept rushing forward, deliberately creating panic and confusion.

    Some prefectures and counties in the Jiangnan Province just got the news that the Qinghe Army had invaded the territory of the Jiangnan Province. The next moment, the forward of the Qinghe Army appeared outside the city, leaving them no time to react.

    Many prefectures and counties were lost in such a muddle-headed manner, and those Southern Army troops stationed in various places were even more vulnerable.

    They have been pampered and pampered for too long. Facing the brave and sturdy Qinghe army, they are often defeated at the touch of a finger.

    Although the Qinghe army captured a lot of heads along the way, they captured more enemies.

    ?In just one week, they captured more than 50,000 Southern Army soldiers, Jiangnan Provincial Guards, local guards, and militia troops.

    In a series of battles, the Qinghe Army under Yuan Jie's command only lost more than 6,000 soldiers including the missing soldiers, which can be said to have won a great victory.

    The Qinghe army suddenly crossed the Dongjiang River and swept across the Jiangnan Province. When the news reached the capital of the Jiangnan Province, the capital shook.

    The Governor of Jiangnan Province is a member of the prince's family, but he is not a fool, and he also knows the importance of Jiangnan Province.

    Because once this grain-producing province falls into the hands of the Qinghe Army, it will not only greatly increase the strength of the Qinghe Army.

    And now the crown prince is fighting with the fourth prince at a critical moment, once the military rations are affected, the consequences will be disastrous.

    Therefore, the governor of the province also actively dispatched troops on the one hand, and on the other hand sent people to ask for help from General Zhennan, and asked him to lead the army back for help.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
