Blitzkrieg
Chiyu County!
Qin Yan's Red Shadow Army has begun to clean up the battlefield.
There was only sporadic resistance within the county town, against the Red Shadow Army, composed entirely of warriors and clad in armor.
The remaining Taiping Army could not cause much trouble.
Zhang Xin captured many prisoners and then led his men to the government offices and the residences of the Taiping Army's high-ranking officials to begin counting the spoils of war.
A considerable amount of gold and silver was found in the mansions of these people.
After a thorough inventory, the total amounted to approximately 110,000 taels of silver, along with a large quantity of grain and supplies!
"The general found a large quantity of weapons in the county government's treasury, along with 250,000 shi of grain!"
"How many?"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand shi of grain is enough to feed the Taiping Army here for more than twenty years."
Zhang Xin couldn't help but sigh, "These guys are really good at plundering."
According to the prisoners, they probably looted all the local people in the area.
The local gentry and wealthy families were all looted by them.
"That's really ruthless!"
Qin Yan couldn't help but nod, but the only ones who really suffered were the gentry and powerful families.
These are the real big ones.
Ordinary people can't squeeze much profit out of them either.
After all, a Lineage's wealth is accumulated over decades or even centuries.
"Seal off the granary and hand it over to the troops behind later. Tell the brothers to rest for one night."
Then we'll continue to conquer the next city.
Qin Yan thought for a moment and then gave the instructions.
After parting ways with Zhang Xin, Qin Yan went straight to the wounded soldiers' camp.
Use group healing to save the wounded soldiers from death!
Before long, the wounded soldiers were full of energy again, and they looked at Qin Yan with great respect.
After all, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers in this era was extremely high, and Qin Yan's existence was undoubtedly a savior.
With such a Command, the Red Shadow Army naturally fought even more fiercely.
However, the soldiers who suffered the most injuries were those recruited from Youshan Prefecture.
These people were new to the battlefield, and their fierce charge resulted in numerous casualties.
This will only help them adapt as quickly as possible!
Only those who survive are the elite.
Rest for the night.
Ye Yingshan's troops finally arrived!
After handing the area over to them, Qin Yan led his Red Shadow Army to attack the next town!
"Qin Yan's cavalry is too fast; they captured Chiyu in just one or two hours."
Even Ye Yingshan couldn't help but marvel at the ferocity of Qin Yan's Red Shadow Army!
A true battlefield warrior.
Moreover, with the victory in the Battle of Chiyu, the number of garrison troops in the remaining cities will definitely not be too large.
After all, most of the troops are already in Yuli City!
Their army's objective was to recapture Changxin City, and thus, to take it over.
It's like cutting off Lang Futian's head; all we need to do now is resist the Taiping Army's pleas for reinforcements!
The Red Shadow Army is incredibly fast!
In less than half a day, they arrived at another county town.
Qin Yan has already been able to condense evil energy into arrows, and is no longer limited by the number of arrows.
The crimson arrow streaked across the open field, striking the county town gate with deadly accuracy.
With a deafening rumble of thunder, the entire city gate was blasted into a pile of broken wood.
The power of the Condensed Sha Arrow far surpasses that of ordinary arrows!
The power it can unleash is incomparable to what it was before.
The garrison here was small, and they recaptured the area within an hour.
After cleaning up, the Red Shadow Army headed towards the next city!
Two cities captured in a single day!
Especially when attacking the second county town, they encountered very little resistance.
The fight hasn't started yet.
The Taiping Army that remained behind fled in disarray, but they were no match for Qin Yan's formidable cavalry.
One charge and they wiped out most of the enemy!
Qin Yan wasn't planning on waiting for Ye Yingshan's main force anymore!
His cavalry excelled in speed and were adept at blitzkrieg tactics.
He needs to reach Changxin City as quickly as possible; Lang Futian probably already knows that Leng Qing is leading an army to attack Yuli City!
The news from their right flank army hadn't reached them yet.
Once the enemy reacts, they will definitely reinforce Changxin City immediately!
At the speed of the Red Shadow Army, they should be able to reach Changxin in two days at most!
The number of troops stationed there is probably not much more than that of Chiyu.
With his nearly full cavalry force, taking Changxin would not be difficult.
Moreover, the right wing army is not only going to attack Changxin, but also Chongyun Prefecture City!
At that time, forces will definitely be divided.
With their mobility, they wouldn't even be able to catch the shit while it's still hot.
Qin Yan left one of his personal guards to relay the message, while the rest of them followed him straight to Changxin!
Qin Yan went straight to Changxin!
Upon learning of the situation, Ye Yingshan frowned slightly. Changxin was a fortified city, and it would be a stretch for three thousand cavalry to attack it.
"Shi Xiong and Feng Yi, you two lead your troops to Qin Yan's aid."
Ye Yingshan immediately issued an order: the two of them together commanded five thousand cavalry.
Add to that Qin Yan's three thousand cavalry!
If we attack Changxin together, we should be able to ensure a foolproof victory.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
The two exchanged a glance and responded in unison.
They had also dealt with Qin Yan before, and they had experienced Qin Yan ruthlessness firsthand when they were in Eastern Heaven Prefecture!
The divine arrow shattered even the heaviest city gate with a single shot.
Following behind him, all you need to do is ride your horse and fight the enemy; it's pure bliss.
If we can capture Changxin, it will be a great achievement.
"I wonder if I can keep up with Qin Yan!"
Shi Xiong couldn't help but mutter to himself!
"The Red Shadow Army's warhorses are running too fast! If the enemy keeps attacking the city!"
Perhaps I can make it in time.
Feng Yi said uncertainly.
They initially wanted to catch up with Qin Yan and attack Chi Yu together, but by the time they arrived...
The battlefield has been completely cleaned up.
I didn't even get to drink some soup.
"We need to speed things up!"
Shi Xiong immediately let out a low roar and led his troops in a frantic pursuit of Qin Yan.
Meanwhile, Qin Yan, after a day and a night of rapid travel, had arrived thirty miles outside Changxin!
At this time, Changxin City had not received any news.
Qin Yan released his spiritual perception, and the situation inside the city was roughly as he had guessed.
The number of soldiers defending the city is only three thousand four hundred!
"Rest here, attack the city in one hour!"
Qin Yan spoke in a low voice, simultaneously activating his own Magnetic Field Healing.
They plundered the vital energy of heaven and earth to begin restoring the physical strength of the Red Shadow Army!
Now he can expand the range of his healing abilities, although the effect will be greatly reduced, it is still more than enough to restore his physical strength.
It took less than half an incense stick's time.
Both the soldiers and the warhorses have recovered to their peak condition.
"General, we have rested and are ready for battle at any time."
Han Cui and his men were all filled with fighting spirit.
Lei Tong, wielding an axe in both hands, was equally eager to try!
"Very well, speed is of the essence! Then, gentlemen, join me in conquering Changxin!"
Qin Yan grinned!
The red wave has begun again.
Upon seeing the Changxin City, Qin Yan began firing wildly!
The terrifying arrows bombarded the city walls like missiles!
"Lei Tong, come with me!"
Qin Yan grabbed Lei Tong by the collar with one hand!
"What...!"
Before he could react, he felt as if he were flying.
"So fast!"
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yan and Lei Tong had already rushed into the city gate!
This terrifying speed once again shocked Han Cui and the others.
