Empire

Outside the city of Qingyang, the solemn army formation of the Imperial Guard stood in the wilderness like a massive mountain, with a strong military might.

The Imperial Guard soldiers, equipped with sharp spears, bayonets, swords and shields, stood in silence, with a fierce and murderous aura in their silence.

The series of fierce battles made the Imperial Guard soldiers brave and resolute, and the ferocity in their bones burst out. They were eager to kill and to rise step by step on the corpses of their enemies.

These Imperial Guard soldiers in red robes were like burning flames, dazzling and eye-catching. The young generals of the Imperial Guard were in neat uniforms and full of fighting spirit. They waved their arms loudly in front of their respective army formations, conveying the military orders of the Fourth Prince.

"His Highness said that whoever kills the bandit chieftain Chen Zi'ang will be promoted three levels!"

""The first one to break into the enemy camp will be rewarded with a million gold coins!"

The ambitious young generals shouted at the top of their lungs, mobilizing for the battle.

"Victory!"

"Victory!"......

The imperial guards' battle array gave out a wave of shouts that were higher than the other, and the army was in great splendor.

Hearing the roar of the imperial guards, Chen Ru and others standing on the wall of Qingyang Prefecture, as well as Chen Ziang and others guarding the camp, all looked particularly solemn.

They all knew that a fierce battle was about to begin, and the outcome of this battle was related to the life and death of their Qinghe Army.

"Father, can Brother Chen and his men hold off the attack of the Dynasty Army?"

Chen Xiaoyu held the dark red battlements with both hands, his haggard face full of worry.

Deputy Commander Chen Ru stroked his goatee, forcing a smile on his solemn face.

"Yu'er, don't worry, Zi'ang will win every battle, and this time he will definitely be able to defeat the attack of the Wang Dynasty Army.

Seeing that the commander was full of confidence in Chen Zi'ang, the tense faces of the generals around him also eased a little.

"Deputy Commander, we can't just watch the Wang Chao army attack General Chen and his men. If they are defeated, we will definitely not be able to defend Qingyang Prefecture. We still have to leave the city to help General Chen."One general suggested

"Yes, deputy commander, General Chen risked his life to rescue us, we can't be ungrateful."

Chen Ziang risked his life to transport a lot of food to the city last night, which made many people grateful to him.

Now the imperial guards are ready to attack Chen Ziang, and the generals in the city are naturally unwilling to stand by and watch.

As the saying goes,"the righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few." Chen Ziang risked his life to rescue them, which has won the favor of many generals of the Qinghe Army.

"Everyone, please be patient. Ziang has sent a message to us. If they can't stop them, they will send us a signal. Then we can go out of the city to help."

While speaking, Chen Ru pointed to the large group of black cavalry soldiers in the distance.

"We must strengthen the city's defenses and not fall for the Dynasty Army's strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the city without permission to prevent the Black Cavalry from taking advantage of us."

""Yes!"

Seeing the Dynasty Black Cavalry and the Light Cavalry that were eyeing them from afar, the generals had dealt with them before and naturally knew that the other side was not weak.

When Chen Ru and others were worried about Chen Ziang and his men on the wall of Qingyang Prefecture, Chen Ziang and his men were also urgently preparing for battle.

Bundles of arrows were transported to the designated location, and teams of Qinghe Army soldiers in armor were also deployed near the camp, ready to be ordered at any time.

Zhang Bao, the former deputy camp commander, was standing on the defense line to the north of the camp at this moment. He has now accumulated merits and become a general of a thousand men.

Zhang Bao acted on his own in the last battle, which resulted in Chen Ziang and his men failing to completely wipe out the attacking enemy.

After the war He was directly demoted to an ordinary soldier of the Qinghe Army by Chen Ziang.

After Chen Ziang had a long talk with Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao understood Chen Ziang's painstaking efforts. Not only did he eliminate the resentment and estrangement, but he also began to re-examine his own actions.

In a series of battles that followed, he led the way and killed countless enemies. He was once again promoted from an ordinary soldier to a general of a thousand men.

Zhang Bao squinted his eyes and stared at the Dynasty Guards with flags flying in the distance. There was no expression on his face, and he was as calm as a mountain.

Those pale-faced Qinghe Army soldiers were infected by the emotions of their commander Zhang Bao, and they also calmed down a lot.

"Zhang Qian, the general has ordered that your troops hold out until 3:30 pm!"

A messenger came riding over, reined in his horse in front of Zhang Bao, and loudly conveyed the order.

"Got it."

Zhang Bao nodded, without the slightest fear on his face.

Chen Ziang and his troops had marched all the way to Qingyang Prefecture, and they had been tossing and turning last night, and everyone was exhausted.

Chen Ziang left some troops to defend the camp, and the other troops were taking the time to sleep and replenish their energy.

Although Zhang Bao and his men were also exhausted, they had no time to rest now. They had to hold on until 15:30 and wait for the shift change.

Soon, the imperial guards of the dynasty started beating drums and horns, and messengers rode their horses at full speed, passing on orders one by one.

""Attack!"

With a cold shout, the Dynasty Guards standing solemnly in the wilderness moved, and the guards slowly pressed forward with sonorous and powerful steps, like a thick human wall.

Amid the fluttering flags, the steel-like formation composed of countless spears and lances exuded a chill, and the neat steps made people's backs cold.

Seeing the overwhelming Dynasty Guards, the Qinghe soldiers guarding behind the camp all turned pale, and many of their hands holding weapons were sweating. The Qinghe soldiers under

Chen Ziang came from various units. Although they were reorganized by Chen Ziang, they were still a little afraid of the Dynasty Army.

"Don't be afraid! They all have two shoulders supporting one head. If you chop them off with a knife, those dynasty bastards will still have their heads dropped!"

"There's meat stewing in the big pot at the back. After this battle, we'll drink wine and eat meat to our heart's content!"

"If you want to live, don't be afraid of death. The more you fear death, the faster you die!"

"Don't even think about deserting. The military police behind us are watching us. If anyone retreats, the knives in their hands will have no eyes!"

"If you want to get promoted and make money, kill the enemy ruthlessly. We are all men, don't be a coward!"

The voices of officers at all levels of the Qinghe Army rang out one after another, and they were loudly encouraging morale.

Behind the front-line troops, the gendarmes with stern faces drew their swords and formed a human wall, deterring deserters while also ready to rush in to fill the gaps at any time.

The high-spirited Dynasty Guards approached in neat steps, and the sound of war drums became more and more urgent. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and it was so depressing that it made people breathless.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!......"

The guards marched forward with great strides, shouting like a tsunami, and the huge sound waves shook people's ears.

"Stay calm!"

"Archers, get ready!"

The Qinghe Army soldiers in the camp also held their breath, tightly grasping their weapons, ready to fight to the death.
