"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 816
When it was dawn, the heavy rain was still falling, and the water vapor between the sky and the earth was lingering, and it was foggy.
"Master Banner Head, Xingshui Mansion is just ahead."
The brothers of the Sixth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Cavalry who got out of the jungle path looked at the faintly outlined city in the distance, and they also became excited.
Their light cavalry army bypassed the villages and towns guarded by the rebels, and penetrated into the territory of Xingshui Mansion at every turn.
Now the capital of Xingshui Prefecture is within easy reach. As long as they take down the city in front and destroy the food and supplies in the city, they will complete the task.
And the rebel army under Yang Hao, who was besieging Pingyong Mansion at that time, would also have to retreat due to lack of food and clothing.
"Map¡ª¡ª"
Guo Wei, head of the flag regiment, wiped off the rain on his face, and said to a guard cavalry beside him.
A guard cavalry held up an oiled paper umbrella, and quickly took out a map of Xingshui Prefecture drawn by the Intelligence and Investigation Department from the copper cylinder in his arms.
"The first team of scouts headed northwest to Hongde Village to contact the brothers of the Intelligence and Investigation Department."
After reading the map, Guo Wei, the head of the banner, called the general of the first scout team, and pointed to a small black dot a few miles northwest on the map.
"The brothers from the first team of scouts follow me!"
A team of scouts with tired expressions greeted each other, and a team of scouts Qingqi quickly left the brigade and headed towards Hongde Village.
"The second team of scouts approached Xingshui Mansion to investigate the enemy's situation."
"The rest of the brothers retreated into the woods to hide and replenish their strength."
Guo Wei, head of the banner regiment, didn't know the military configuration of Xingshui Mansion, so he didn't dare to attack rashly.
Moreover, their cavalry brothers marched in the rain all night. Both the horses and the soldiers were exhausted and needed to stop to catch their breath.
Guo Wei and the others hid on the edge of the jungle and arrived to rest. The scouts and light cavalry quickly got in touch with the brothers from the Intelligence Investigation Department and learned about the strength of the rebels in the city.
And the second team of scouts they came to investigate also reported that on the road leading to Xingshui Mansion, there were only two checkpoints of the rebels, and the number of troops stationed was less than a hundred.
After some research and judgment, the head of the banner, Guo Wei, decided to take advantage of the heavy rain and immediately launch a surprise attack on Xingshui Mansion.
"Get on the horse, aim for Xingshui Mansion!"
?Guo Wei, the head of the banner regiment, quickly got on his horse, and the cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army recovered a lot after resting for two hours. They got on their horses one after another, and rode out of the jungle.
Iron cavalry clanged, horseshoes roared, and in the splashing muddy water, two thousand Qinghe Army Qingqi cavalry with their battle flags rolled up galloped along the road.
"Quick, quick!"
Although the speed of the two thousand Qinghe army's Qingqi was no longer slow, the officers' yelling and urging voices continued to sound in the ranks.
"Master Banner Leader, some brothers have fallen behind!"
Days of marching made the cavalry brothers exhausted, and some cavalrymen who suffered from the wind and cold could not keep up with the speed and fell behind.
"Leave them alone, let them join us at Xingshui Mansion!"
Guo Wei, head of the banner group, knows that the arrow is on the line now, so there is no time to wait for those brothers who have fallen behind.
They galloped all the way, although the cavalry of the Qinghe Army kept falling behind, but the cavalry of the brigade still did not slow down and rushed towards Xingshui Mansion.
The guards of the two checkpoints set up by the rebels on the road outside the city were gathering in a warm tent to drink and gamble. When they heard the rumbling of horseshoes outside, they all poked their heads out to observe the situation.
They saw a large number of black-clothed cavalry emerge from the rain. Before they could figure out the identities of these cavalry, the cavalry had already arrived.
The sharp sword slashed down, and the heads of the rebels rolled and fell into the muddy water.
The panicked rebel soldiers turned around and fled in a hurry, but the horses galloped past, and the fleeing rebel's body was pierced by the sharp lance, and then they were thrown into the puddle fiercely, splashing mud and water.
In just a few breaths, all the rebel guards at this checkpoint turned into corpses in the muddy water. The cavalry brigade of the Qinghe Army rumbled past, and the place returned to calm.
The light cavalry led by Guo Wei took two checkpoints of the rebels in succession, and then quickly approached the east gate of Xingshui Mansion.
At this moment, a rebel army transporting food to the front line was passing through the city gate, and saw cavalrymen rapidly approaching in the distanceBing also changed his face in horror.
"Quickly close the city gate!"
Seeing the cavalry approaching rapidly in the distance, the city guard of the rebel army shouted loudly, trying to close the city gate.
However, the convoy transporting the luggage happened to be at the city gate. They drove the mules in a panic, and some people tried to escape back to the city, which immediately caused chaos here, and the city gate could not be closed at all.
"kill!"
Seeing the chaos at the gate of the city, Guo Wei, the head of the flag group, raised the lance in his hand high, and let out a low roar in his throat.
Swords lit up in the rain, and the stern-faced Qinghe army cavalry swept towards the city gate like a metal storm.
Those rebel soldiers who tried to close the city gate saw countless cavalry leaping towards them, and then as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer, their bodies turned into a bow and flew out backwards, and then they were trampled into a pulp by countless iron hooves.
The grain cart blocking the gate of the city was overturned by brothers cavalry of the Qinghe Army, and they poured into the city along the corridor of the gate.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army who invaded the city rushed forward along the street, unstoppable, and a rebel patrol was crushed into a meat paste by them in the blink of an eye.
Many rebel soldiers hid in dry houses to sleep or gamble and drink. Hearing the screams from the street, they took their weapons to the street amidst the officers' curses.
But the cavalry passed by like a whirlwind, and the rebel soldiers on the street were like paper, chopped to pieces by the brave cavalry.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army repeatedly rushed along the street, and the rebels who were attacked and rushed to the street in a daze fell one by one in a pool of blood.
"The bandit army has entered the city!"
"The Commander has lost."
"Run away!"
Xingshui Mansion is the stronghold of the rebel army. Seeing the Qinghe army cavalry attacking, many officers and soldiers panicked in the chaos, thinking that the commander Yang Hao had already been defeated.
Although some rebel officers tried to gather the troops and stabilize the situation, they faced the rebel soldiers running around, and their orders could not be passed on in the chaos.
The rebel leader Yang Hao left more than 8,000 soldiers to guard Xingshui Mansion. Their task is to take care of the money, food and grass here.
But in the chaotic situation, they didn't know how many enemies there were, and there were cavalrymen shouting and charging everywhere, and panic continued to spread in the city.
At the beginning, the brave rebel officers continued to counterattack to stabilize the situation, but after several counterattacks were dispersed by the cavalry, the officers were no longer able to organize the troops. When the rebels saw the cavalry rushing over, they immediately coaxed And scattered.
Under the order of Guo Wei, the head of the banner, some cavalry rushed along the streets to eliminate the rebels' vital forces, and some quickly occupied strategic locations such as treasury and headquarters.
Although the Qinghe Army's cavalry was not strong, they suddenly entered the city, which caused a great visual impact on the rebels, causing panic and confusion for a time.
? When the commander of the rebel army regained his composure from the panic and found that it was not the main force of the Qinghe army attacking, but only part of the cavalry, the rebel army had been killed and fled in all directions, unable to recover.
