"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 732
The iron hoof rolled up smoke and dust all over the sky, the ground was trembling, and the black cavalry rushed in like a tide, making the complexions of many Southern Army soldiers who were still stranded outside the city pale.
"Run away."
"Run!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The soldiers of the Southern Army crowded around the city gate were screaming in despair, and some even swung knives at the comrades who blocked them from entering the city.
The screams, cursing and yelling were intertwined, but they were quickly drowned out by the shouts of killing like mountains and tsunami.
"The Qinghe army is mighty!"
Covered in black, the cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army were like unsheathed sharp swords, showing their sharpness.
"Phew!"
"Shhhhh!"
The wave of black cavalry has not yet arrived, but the arrows glowing with cold light have arrived with the howling sound of tearing the air.
"Puff!"
"ah!"
The arrows landed in the crowded Southern Army ranks, and blood mist suddenly rose up, screaming one after another.
After a few rounds of covering shots from the arrows, the southern army team outside the city became much thinner, and the painful wails and screams were intertwined.
"Roar!"
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army in the front row roared, and the javelins in their hands were thrown out in unison with arrogance.
These javelins, which were as thick as a man's forearm, fell into the ranks of the Southern Army. Some soldiers of the Southern Army were nailed to the ground on the spot, and some were pierced through their bodies, which was horrible.
"Boom!"
After the javelin fell into the Southern Army's ranks, the Qinghe Army's cavalry vanguard had already crashed into the Southern Army's ranks.
On the entire front line of the battle, countless soldiers of the Southern Army were knocked out by the galloping horses, and blood poured down one after another.
The sharp cavalry spears swept across all directions, and those Southern Army warriors who tried to use their flesh and blood to fight the cavalry were soon crushed by the iron hooves of the horses.
The sound of metal clanging and collision of weapons, the sound of cracking bones, and the dull sound of sharp knives piercing flesh resounded through the battlefield.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army continued to advance forward with an indomitable attitude. The soldiers of the Southern Army along the way were pierced by lances, knocked over by swords, and fell into a pool of blood.
Those southern troops crowded outside the city were like overripe wheat, when the cavalry of the Qinghe army passed by, they immediately fell down.
Xu Liang, the commander of the First Corps of the Southern Army, boarded the top of the city. Seeing the Qinghe Army slaughtering his rear guards outside the city without restraint, his fat cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
"Let the arrow, let the arrow!"
Xu Liang roared loudly, and groups of archers from the Southern Army rushed to the top of the city, and shot arrows at the cavalry of the Qinghe Army in the distance, trying to prevent them from approaching the city wall.
However, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army and the guard troops of the Southern Army had already strangled together. The archers at the top of the city were afraid of accidental injury, but they dared not shoot arrows nearby.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army were brave and good at fighting. They clung to the Southern Army troops outside the city and kept knocking them to the ground. The crazy energy made Xu Liang and others at the top of the city feel a burst of fear.
If they had withdrawn one step later, not only the rearguard troops would have been strangled by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, but their lives would also be in danger.
"General, there are bandit cavalry coming towards the city gate!"
Xu Liang and the others stood at the top of the city and kept ordering the archers to cover the troops to withdraw into the city. The sharp-eyed officers saw a group of sturdy cavalry from the Qinghe Army charging towards the city gate.
This group of sturdy Qinghe army charged and killed in the ranks of the southern army, like no one's land.
Once they are allowed to break into the city, the consequences will be disastrous, and this city may fall.
"Close the city gate!"
Although there were still many Southern Army soldiers outside the city, at this time, Xu Liang ordered the city gate to be closed because the strong men would cut off their wrists.
The Southern Army officers and soldiers in the city naturally did not want those vicious Qinghe Army cavalry to rush into the city and threaten their lives.
With Xu Liang's order, the winch of the city gate creaked, and the city gate was slowly closed.
"Kaicheng!"
"Let us enter the city."
The soldiers of the southern army outside the city did not expect that the city gate was closed, and some people cried out in despair,The angry curses of the people made Xu Liang and the others at the top of the wall turn pale.
Xu Liang and the others watched helplessly as nearly 10,000 Southern Army soldiers outside the city fell into a pool of blood under the repeated charge of the Qinghe Army.
This battle lasted for more than three hours, until the last standing southern army was beheaded by Qinghe army cavalry, and almost no southern army outside the city survived.
The 10,000 cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army led by the deputy head of the banner, Tan Feng, were all bleeding from their bodies, and their robes were covered with sticky flesh and blood.
The order Tan Feng received was very simple, that is, to bite the Southern Army on the North Road fiercely, so that they would not dare to move forward.
It was Tan Feng's first time leading the army alone, and he had a big appetite. His original idea was to eat up the Southern Army troops on the North Road in one bite. And not just bite each other.
Although there are more than 40,000 Southern Army troops on the North Road, they are all infantry. Once they reach a flat place, their combat power of 10,000 cavalry is enough to destroy the opponent.
However, Xu Liang, the general of the southern army, ran very fast. Hearing that cavalry was approaching, he ordered to retreat without hesitation.
As a result, Tan Feng and the others only ate a rear guard of the Southern Army, but they also gained a lot.
Seeing the tragic scene of corpses strewn all over the field outside the city, Xu Liang and others at the head of the city also had extremely ugly expressions, and couldn't help but feel scared for a while.
Xu Liang even greeted the eighteen generations of the ancestors of Luo Mingyuan, the great general in Zhennan.
If he hadn't been cautious, the loss now would not only be the more than ten thousand defenders who hadn't had time to enter the city, but he himself would have to go in.
Tan Feng, the deputy head of the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry, did not leave after they wiped out the rear guard of the Southern Army. Instead, they shouted and cursed outside the city, trying to lure the Southern Army out of the city.
"General, what shall we do now?"
Seeing the scene of corpses strewn all over the field outside the city, and looking at those arrogant cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army, the generals of the First Corps also cast their eyes on Xu Liang.
"We are probably encountering the main force of the bandit army, pass on the order and stand by for help!"
Xu Liang had just seen the powerful combat effectiveness of the cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army outside the city, so he would not go out of the city foolishly to touch the stone with eggs.
The generals of the First Corps were also in shock. When they heard what Xu Liang said, they naturally agreed, thinking that it would be safer to defend the city.
Xu Liang and the others encountered a large group of cavalry from the Qinghe Army on the North Road, and they lost more than ten thousand troops in just one battle. Xu Liang and the others were so huddled in the city that they dared not continue to advance.
When the news reached the Southern Army Command, Luo Mingyuan, the Great General of Zhennan, was even more convinced that the main force of the Qinghe Army was in the northern region.
"Order the troops on the middle and south roads to speed up!"
Now there is Xu Liang from the North Road to contain the main force of the Qinghe Army, so their troops on the Middle and South Roads will not encounter much resistance.
So Luo Mingyuan felt that this was a good opportunity to take the opportunity to recover more areas in Jiangnan province, so he ordered the troops on the middle and south roads to speed up.
