Empire

Chapter 81

The army led by the Fourth Prince set up camp on the north bank of the Qingshui River, taking a defensive stance and avoiding battle.

"Are these dynasty bastards scared?"

"They lost the first battle, I'm afraid they don't dare to fight us now"

"Maybe they are running out of food and grass."

The Qinghe rebels were surprised to see that the Dynasty army was not moving forward and stopped on the north bank of the Qingshui River. They speculated on the reason.

Chen Ru, the deputy commander of the Qinghe army stationed at the front line of Qingyang Prefecture, frowned after receiving the report from the scouts. He didn't know what the Dynasty army was up to.

Even though the Dynasty army lost more than 10,000 elite Black Cavalry, it was not seriously injured and its strength remained.

But now, instead of launching a retaliatory action, it set up camp on the north bank of the Qingshui River, looking like it was going to hold out for a long time, which was very puzzling.

"The Dynasty army is strong and powerful, but now it is staying on the north bank and not moving forward. There must be some conspiracy.

Although it is impossible to guess why the Dynasty army suddenly stopped for a while, Deputy Commander Chen Ru still dare not be careless.

He is now the supreme commander of the Qinghe Army. Although he has 50,000 to 60,000 troops under his command, his strength is slightly inferior to that of the Dynasty army.

He thought that he would fight a series of hard battles with the Dynasty army on the front line of Qingyang Prefecture, but now it is calm, which makes him uneasy.

"Scouting cavalry expanded the scope of investigation to prevent the dynasty army from repairing the plank road in the open and secretly marching through Chencang"

"Strengthen the security of our army camp and expand the range of cavalry activities to 50 miles"

"Liu Yidao!"

"The end is here!"

"You personally lead a group of light cavalry to test the Dynasty army and capture a few people alive."

""Yes!"

After a brief thought, Deputy Marshal Chen Ru issued a series of effective orders.

After seizing a large number of horses from the Dynasty Army, the cavalry battalion under the command of Lieutenant General Liu Yidao has expanded its strength to 8,000.

These 8,000 light cavalry are the most powerful mobile force of their Qinghe Army. They can not only shield the battlefield, but also charge into battle, becoming a powerful force that cannot be ignored.

Lieutenant General Liu Yidao is fierce and good at fighting. Under his influence, the light cavalry of his cavalry battalion are also like wolves and tigers, fighting to the death.

After receiving the military order from Deputy Marshal Chen Ru, Liu Yidao personally led 3,000 light cavalry to cross the Qingshui River from the shallow water downstream, preparing to flank the Dynasty Army camp to test the attack.

However, when Liu Yidao led 3,000 light cavalry to cross the Qingshui River and arrived at the north bank, the scouts of the Dynasty Army had already discovered their whereabouts.

"Report!"

A dusty scout of the Dynasty Army rushed into the North Bank Camp, rolled off his horse in front of the general's tent, and broke into the general's tent.

"Report to His Highness the Fourth, we have discovered a bandit force of about 3,000 light cavalrymen crossing the Qingshui River and heading towards our camp.

"Oh?"

The fourth prince was playing chess with the old general Zhang Yihai. After hearing the report from the scout, his face was full of surprise.

Their camp had nearly 100,000 troops, but a mere 3,000 light cavalry dared to cross the river to attack. The fourth prince couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect the Qinghe uprising army to be so arrogant.

"The enemy army is probably just trying to test our army's strength."

Old General Zhang Yihai sat on the Diaoyutai, and after placing a chess piece, he stroked his beard and spoke lightly.

"Even if they are testing me, they don't take my imperial army seriously. We must put a stop to their arrogance."The fourth prince also made a move and said with a smile

"Yang Hao."

The fourth prince turned his head and cast his gaze on a young general who was standing not far away with a knife in his hand.

This young general was Yang Hao, an orphan adopted by Yang Fang, the supervisor of Qinghe Province.

After the provincial capital was breached by the rebels, Supervisor Yang Fang died in the line of duty, while Yang Hao broke through with a letter of recommendation and joined the Fourth Prince.

Now Yang Hao was appointed by the Fourth Prince as a thousand-man general of the Royal Guard, accompanying him.

Although the Fourth Prince was the commander-in-chief of the army, the Prince's spies were everywhere in the army, which not only constrained the Fourth Prince everywhere, but also made him have few confidants.

The Supervisor Yang Fang, who had died in the line of duty, was originally from the Fourth Prince's faction, so Yang Hao defected to him and was also regarded as a confidant by the Fourth Prince.

"I am here!"

Yang Hao is tall and straight, and at this moment he is wearing the sophisticated Royal Guard armor, looking quite heroic.

"The enemy army is arrogant and treats our army as nothing. You lead the army to curb their arrogance."

While the fourth prince ordered, he was observing the reaction of the old general Zhang Yihai.

Zhang Yihai did not expect that the fourth prince would not send other generals, but actually sent a general of his own guard.

However, thinking that Yang Hao was only a general of a thousand men, he could not cause any trouble, so he did not object.

""I obey your orders!"

Yang Hao gladly accepted the order and immediately left the tent.

Soon, Yang Hao, accompanied by several officers of the Imperial Guard, arrived at the Black Cavalry's station not far away.

"In compliance with the Fourth Prince's military order, please assemble the troops immediately and follow me to fight the enemy!"

Yang Hao showed the military order to the Black Cavalry commander in the camp.

"You are just a general with a thousand men, how can you command me? Go wherever you want!" This black cavalry camp commander was also a rebellious person, and he didn't take Yang Hao seriously at all.

""Puff!"

But just as the Black Cavalry general finished speaking, a bright knife flashed and his head fell to the ground. Blood splashed on Yang Hao's face, making him look a little scary.

"ah!"

"You dare!"

Several thousand-man generals in the military tent saw Yang Hao draw his sword and kill people without saying anything, and he killed the camp commander as a thousand-man general. They stood up suddenly, drew their swords one after another, and glared at Yang Hao.

Facing these angry black cavalry thousand-man generals, Yang Hao wiped the warm blood off his face and remained calm.

"Those who disobey military orders shall be executed!" Yang Hao said sternly

"Go gather your troops and follow me into battle, or you will be killed immediately!!"

These thousand-man generals were also shocked by Yang Hao's murderous aura. After looking at each other, they finally compromised, put away their swords, and went out to gather their troops.

Soon, 5,000 elite black cavalry and light cavalry gathered in the camp.

"My Black Cavalry has been defeated repeatedly and has lost face! Now many people say that we look good on the outside, but in fact we are cowards and cowards!"

Yang Hao sat on his warhorse and conducted a pre-war mobilization in front of the 5,000 elite light cavalry of the Black Cavalry.

Although the Black Cavalry is known as an elite, they have suffered a series of defeats. They have indeed suffered a lot of contempt and felt bad.

Now Yang Hao directly exposed these scars in front of them. Many people found it difficult to accept for a while and glared at Yang Hao.

"Now there are 3,000 bandit cavalry who want to raid my camp. I will give you a chance to tell everyone that our Black Cavalry is still the invincible Black Cavalry. Do you dare to go?!"Yang Hao asked sternly

"Dare!"

These Black Cavalry cavalrymen were provoked by Yang Hao and immediately roared

""Okay! Follow me to fight!"

Yang Hao didn't say anything extra. He raised his lance high and turned his horse's head to rush out of the camp.

The five thousand Black Cavalry cavalrymen didn't hesitate at all, and followed closely with murderous intent.
