Empire

Although Xu Jiang is the son of the deputy commander Xu Fu, he is arrogant and domineering in his daily life. In fact, he is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Facing the murderous Chen Ziang and others, Xu Jiang did not want to suffer a loss and had already started to back down.

However, facing the provocative Chen Ziang, he could not swallow his anger. Besides, if he became a coward like this, he would have no face to live in the future.

Just when Xu Jiang was in a dilemma, a messenger rushed along the camps, shouting at the top of his voice as he walked

"The commander-in-chief has issued an order. All generals above the rank of battalion commander must hurry to the commander-in-chief's tent to receive the order!"

The shout of the messenger immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone was speculating whether a war was about to begin.

"Mr. Chen, I will let you go today, wait and see how I will deal with you later!" Xu Jiang also took advantage of the situation and threw down a harsh word. Without waiting for Chen Ziang to reply, he fled with a group of followers.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Seeing Xu Jiang and others leaving in a hurry, Chen Ziang couldn't help but yelled sarcastically.

Xu Jiang was���He was just a dandy boy. Although his father was the deputy commander, Chen Ziang still didn't take him seriously.

"What a coward!"

"How could Vice Commander Xu have given birth to such a guy? He is simply embarrassing him."

When Li Changqing, one of the hundred personal soldiers, saw Xu Jiang and his companions fleeing in disgrace, they were also full of contempt.

"Thank you General Chen for saving me. I thank General Chen.

Shen Xiuxiu escaped the disaster without any danger. She was full of gratitude to Chen Ziang at this moment. She stepped forward to thank him.

"Miss Shen, don't be so formal. We are all family. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just say my name."

Seeing the pretty Shen Xiuxiu's bright eyes looking at him, Chen Ziang realized that this girl was really pretty. No wonder she was targeted by that pervert Xu Jiang.

Shen Xiuxiu was embarrassed by Chen Ziang's staring at her. Two blushes rose on her cheeks. She lowered her head with a shy face.

Chen Ziang also realized his impoliteness, coughed awkwardly twice, and retracted his gaze.

"well......Li Changqing!"

"I am here!"

Li Changqing, one of the hundred soldiers, stepped forward.

"Send two brothers to escort Miss Shen back"

"promise!"

"Miss Shen, goodbye."

Chen Ziang bowed to Shen Xiuxiu, then turned and headed straight for the general's tent.

Shen Xiuxiu saw Chen Ziang leaving quickly, and stared at him blankly with her bright eyes, as if she was in a trance.

"Miss Shen?"

Seeing Shen Xiuxiu staring blankly at their lieutenant general, the two brothers who stayed behind looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

Shen Xiuxiu quickly withdrew her gaze, her face full of embarrassment, and she didn't want to inspect the stalls anymore, so she turned back to the camp.

When Shen Xiuxiu returned to the camp, Chen Ziang and other generals hurried to the Qinghe Army's general's tent.

When Chen Ziang arrived at the general's tent, more than a dozen generals had already arrived and were waiting outside the tent.

"Brother, why did the commander suddenly summon you?

Chen Ziang approached a lieutenant general who arrived earlier and asked about the situation.

"Brother Chen, I don't know either."

The lieutenant shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know, which made Chen Ziang even more confused.

In just a moment, dozens of lieutenants and deputy generals who stayed in the provincial capital all arrived and were immediately summoned into the general's tent.

Although the Qinghe Army occupied the provincial capital, the commander Zhang Dayuan only patrolled the city and then came out. He has been living in the military camp outside the city these days.

Chen Ziang and his men entered the general's tent and stood in four columns according to their military ranks.

"The Marshal is here!"

With a loud shout from the guard with a knife, Zhang Dayuan walked out from behind the screen, followed closely by the deputy marshals Chen Ru and Xu Fu.

"Meet the Marshal!"

""Greetings, Deputy Commander!"

Dozens of deputy commanders and lieutenants looked solemn, and they all stood up and saluted with fists clenched across their chests.

Zhang Dayuan stood still, looked around at the generals with a serious look, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Deputy Commander Chen, tell everyone the situation.

Zhang Dayuan turned to the expressionless Deputy Commander Chen Ru and ordered

""Yes."

Chen Ru took a step forward and without further delay, he directly informed Chen Ziang and others of the military situation.

"Scouts reported that a large number of Dynasty troops were found in the Qingyang Prefecture area south of the Qingshui River. The troops of our deputy general Wang Dachui, who was responsible for attacking Qingyang Prefecture, were defeated, and the troops of Lieutenant General Zhou Shan were annihilated, and Lieutenant General Zhou Shan was killed."

After hearing the words of Deputy General Chen Ru, the generals in the big tent took a breath of cold air and their faces became solemn.

The deputy general usually led at least three battalions and at least 15,000 troops, and the lieutenant general also led at least 10,000 people.

Now that the two troops that they went to attack Qingyang Prefecture were defeated in a short period of time, the strength of the attacking Dynasty army should not be underestimated.

""Deputy commander, how many Dynasty light cavalry are there on this route?" A deputy commander could not help but ask.

Deputy commander Chen Ru replied,"The scouts reported that there are about 10,000 Dynasty troops on this route, all of them are light cavalry with two horses each, under the banner of the Black Cavalry."

Chen Ziang and his men had fought against the Black Cavalry before. The battalion commander of the Dynasty Black Cavalry led 5,000 Black Cavalry and joined forces with the provincial security forces to try to wipe out their rebel army.

However, Chen Ziang killed the general and seized the flag on the battlefield, and with the bloody battles of tens of thousands of rebels, they finally turned defeat into victory and won a tragic victory in that battle.

Chen Ziang had a deep impression of those fierce Black Cavalry. The other side was a well-trained elite, far from comparable to the ordinary Dynasty army.

The rest of the generals were also whispering and talking. Some showed disdain, some looked solemn, and some had some panic in their eyes.

"Silence!"

Seeing the buzzing sound in the general's tent, the commander Zhang Dayuan couldn't help but yell, and everyone quieted down again.

"Everyone, the Dynasty army is coming fiercely. What strategies do you have to defeat the enemy? Feel free to tell us." Zhang Dayuan asked everyone.

""General, our army has more than 100,000 soldiers, while the Dynasty Army has only more than 10,000 light cavalry. Why don't we reorganize our troops and wait for them to tire themselves out? As long as they dare to come, we will make sure they never return!"

Deputy General Luo Dagang was not surprised by praise or criticism, and did not even take the Dynasty Army seriously. His words were full of arrogance.

"Yes, we have more than 100,000 people. Even if every one of us spits, we can drown them!"

"Marshal, the dynasty army is composed of light cavalry, good at field battles, our army should hold the city and avoid their sharp edge"

"What the hell is holding on? If you want to be a coward and act cowardly, I won’t accompany you!"......

The generals in the military tent spoke up one after another, some suggested waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, some suggested defending the city, and some wanted to take the initiative to attack.

Seeing the generals arguing with each other, Chen Ziang stood there in silence, keeping silent.

"Hey, how do you think we should fight this battle?"

Seeing Chen Ziang standing there alone without saying anything, the battalion commander Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but nudged him with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

Chen Ziang turned his head and saw Chen Xiaoyu in military uniform, and said solemnly:"Do you think a light cavalry of the Dynasty Army can defeat us?"

Chen Xiaoyu was also stunned, and then shook his head:"We have more than 100,000 people, how can 10,000 light cavalry be our opponent"

"That's right, I think these 10,000 light cavalry are probably just their vanguard, we might be in trouble." Chen Ziang said solemnly

"You mean, there are more Dynasty troops behind these 10,000 light cavalry?" Chen Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

"We have too little information now, this is just my guess." Chen Ziang shrugged and replied.
