Empire

The fighting in the capital of Qinghe Province has entered a white-hot state. Shouts and shouts shook the sky, blood flowed like a river, and the Qinghe soldiers who were attacking the city were densely packed with dozens of ladders leaning against the city walls.

The Dynasty garrison soldiers on the top of the city kept overturning the ladders, and at the same time, boiling hot water, thunder stones and rolling logs were constantly thrown down.

The Qinghe soldiers who were clinging to the ladders were like dumplings, constantly falling down the city and breaking into meat paste.

The walls were covered with corpses, the moat was red, and the dying wounded in the pile of corpses wailed in pain.

The battle was still going on, and no one cared about these wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs. At this moment, human life seemed fragile and unbearable.

Teams of Qinghe soldiers stepped on the corpses, shouted loudly, and launched a fierce attack on the provincial capital.

The heavy walls of the provincial capital were like a crumbling dam, bearing the fierce impact of waves after waves.

After an old soldier of the Qinghe Army who first rushed up the city wall killed several Dynasty guards, he was stabbed by several bayonets at the same time and fell into a pool of blood unwillingly.

But with such a short delay, another old soldier jumped onto the city wall through the gap torn by the old soldier.

The guards who had just stabbed the enemy to death turned around in a hurry and tried to kill the Qinghe Army soldier who attacked the city.

But the old soldier saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly picked up a shield and took a defensive posture with his back against the battlement.

Several guards rushed up quickly, and in the sound of clanging weapons colliding, they did not kill the old soldier in the first time. The subsequent Qinghe Army soldiers followed the gap guarded by the old soldier and continued to pour in.

After a while, the Dynasty guards guarding this battlement were killed, and more than 20 Qinghe Army soldiers had already attacked the top of the city.

They left a few soldiers to guard the gap, and the other soldiers were divided into two teams, quickly rushing along the city wall towards the two wings.

Originally, the Dynasty guards only needed to be responsible for their positions and prevent the Qinghe Army soldiers from climbing up the city wall from the positions they were responsible for.

But at this moment, they had to devote some energy to fighting with the Qinghe Army soldiers who rushed over from the side.

In this way, the defense of the area they guarded was greatly weakened. Those veterans of the Qinghe Army rushed up the city wall one after another and established bridgeheads.

The number of Qinghe Army soldiers attacking the city wall increased, and the Dynasty garrison soldiers who were originally defending in an orderly manner began to be in chaos.

The defenders themselves were the troops for maintaining public order in various prefectures and counties, and their combat effectiveness was relatively weak.

Relying on the heavy city walls, they were able to look down on the Qinghe Army soldiers and kill them on equal terms.

As the Qinghe Army rushed onto the city wall, facing these fierce-looking elite Qinghe Army soldiers, the Dynasty Army guards could not resist at all and were constantly killed. The balance of victory quickly tilted towards the Qinghe Army.

"Report!"

"Your Excellency the Inspector, a thousand men from the 5,000-man squad will be killed!"

"Report!"

"Your Excellency the Inspector, the 8,000-man team has been defeated and the enemy troops are already on their way!"

"Report, Sir, the 20th Centurion Squadron was completely killed, and the area they were defending has been captured by the enemy army."

"Report: Lieutenant General Zhang Hao was killed in action!"......

As more and more Qinghe Army soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall, these elite field warriors rushed left and right, and soon the Dynasty defenders were scattered. The situation suddenly became serious for the defenders.

Faced with one bad news after another, the corners of Inspector Yang Fang's mouth twitched fiercely. He did not expect the strength of the bandit army to be so strong. He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

Faced with the Qinghe Army soldiers who continued to pour onto the city wall, the defenders were being killed and retreated step by step.

Inspector Yang Fang knew very well that if he could not quickly control the situation, the provincial capital would fall today.

As the provincial inspector and temporary highest military and political chief, if the province was captured by the bandit army, even if he escaped, he would be beheaded by the emperor as a scapegoat.

Yang Fang did not want to die, and did not want to die in such a cowardly way. His parents, wife and children were still waiting for him in the capital.

Thinking of this, Yang Fang stood up suddenly and looked around at the frightened faces around him, but his eyes became firm and sharp.

"General Zhang, you take the first and second hundred-man inspection teams to the left side of the city wall!"

"Lieutenant General Zhou, take the 3rd and 400th supervisory teams to the right side of the city wall!"

"Tell the soldiers that if they defeat the enemy army, each of them will be rewarded with a gold coin!"

Supervisor Yang Fang quickly selected two generals and asked them to lead his most elite supervisors as firefighters to stabilize the city wall defense line.

""Yes!"

The two officers quickly led these elite supervisory soldiers into battle, trying to kill the Qinghe Army.

The most elite combat force under the Supervisory Envoy Yang Fang was the Supervisory Thousand-Man Team, which had only one thousand people.

These thousand people were drawn from the dynasty's central army and were under the dispatch of the supervisory envoys of each province.

Once the supervisory envoys returned to the court after their term of office, these supervisory soldiers would also be transferred back to the central army, but with the experience of being sent out, promotion would be given priority.

These supervisory soldiers originally wanted to be sent out to make their resumes look better and prepare for future promotions.

Who knew that man proposes, God disposes, and now they are in such a dangerous situation.

There is no need for the Supervisory Envoy Yang Fang to explain in detail, They also knew that the situation was dire, and once the city fell, they would not be spared.

When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be broken, so these supervisors were fighting hard while cursing in their hearts.

These supervisors were all drawn from the Central Army, well-equipped and well-trained.

Although their number was small, on the narrow city wall, the Qinghe Army's advantage of numbers could not be brought into play, allowing the supervisors to take advantage.

While the supervisors rushed to put out the fire, the personal soldiers under the Inspector Yang Fang were not idle either.

They guarded the passages like ferocious monsters, and if they saw a soldier trying to escape, they would kill him on the spot.

In just a few moments, these personal soldiers were The sharp swords were stained with blood red, and more than a hundred deserters were beheaded by them.

With these fierce bodyguards cutting off the retreat route, and the supervisory soldiers charging forward again, they curbed the offensive of the Qinghe Army soldiers. The garrison soldiers who were killed and scattered had to turn around and rush forward to fight again.

Luo Dagang, the deputy general of the Qinghe Army who was in charge of commanding the attack, saw the soldiers rushing onto the city wall, and he immediately ordered the subsequent echelons to catch up.

The two sides launched a brutal fight around the top of the city, and the sky and the earth changed color, and blood flowed.

The supervisory soldiers under the command of Supervisory Envoy Yang Fang were powerful. They acted as firefighters and went wherever there was a crisis. In just half an hour, most of the one thousand supervisory soldiers were killed.

But The effect was obvious. The shaky defense line was stabilized and no longer one-sided. Supervisor Yang Fang acted decisively and organized troops to counterattack in time to recapture the lost areas.

The defenders formed a spear array and swept along the city wall. The space for the Qinghe Army soldiers who rushed up the city wall was constantly compressed. Facing the sharp spears that kept stabbing from all sides, they had no place to hide.

A Qinghe Army camp general saw that several of his subordinates were stabbed into blood gourds by the defenders' spears. Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and slid down the city wall along the ladder and escaped.

The Qinghe Army soldiers who remained on the city wall were soon killed, and the Qinghe Army's attack ended in failure again.
