    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 571

    Corpses littered the ground in Xilang Port, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

    "Hurry up, go over there and squat honestly!"

    Under the light of the fire, soldiers of the Qinghe Army with blood-dripping triangular swords in their hands drove away the disheveled Southern Army prisoners of war.

    An infantry battalion of the Southern Army stationed in the defense of Xilang Port was defeated in less than half an hour.

    Facing the sudden attack of the Qinghe Army's Sharp Blade Assault Brigade, the soldiers of the Southern Army were not at all prepared, and many of them went to see Lord Yan in their sleep.

    In the battle of blood and fire, some of the Southern Army soldiers stationed at the port were wiped out on the spot, and some became prisoners of war of the Qinghe Army.

    Facing the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who held sharp knives and their faces were fierce, the soldiers of the Southern Army who became captives were also trembling with fear on their faces.

    Although the Southern Army and Yang Hao's troops are fighting in Yunshan, the border area of ??Dongjiang Province, Jiangnan Province is the rear.

    The soldiers of the Southern Army stationed here did not expect that the war was so close to them. They were pampered and pampered, and they were far behind the Qinghe Army in terms of fighting will and reaction ability.

    "My lord, the port, Xilang Town and the barracks have all been occupied by us!"

    "In this battle, we beheaded one general of the southern army, one deputy general, one supervisor, and captured more than 2,500 soldiers."

    The battle ended in the blink of an eye, which surprised Madman Cheng who was ready for a tough battle.

    In fact, in addition to the strong combat effectiveness of their Blade Assault Brigade, the weakness of the Southern Army is also one of the important reasons.

    "I didn't expect these southern troops to be so invulnerable." A blood-soaked general could not help complaining.

    Before they broke into the camp of the southern army, they were defeated one after another, which surprised them all.

    "The southern army is pampered and does not fight all year round, and defeat is also expected." Cheng Fengzi analyzed.

    "Send a signal to the north bank that the bridge across the river can be built." Crazy Cheng immediately ordered.

    "No!"

    After a soldier from the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade stood up and saluted, he strode away immediately.

    Soon, the Blade Assault Brigade, which occupied Xilang Port on the south bank, reported the situation to the other bank with the agreed torch signal.

    "Master Deputy Legion Commander, Master Cheng and the others succeeded!"

    A fishing boat was quietly swimming in the center of the river. After seeing the signal from the south bank, it quickly returned to the north bank, and excitedly reported the situation to Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army.

    Yuan Jie has been paying attention to the situation on the South Bank. Seeing the flames over there, and hearing the faint shouts of killing over there, he has always been on tenterhooks.

    After all, intelligence shows that there is an infantry battalion of the Southern Army stationed in Xilang Port, while the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade has only 2,000 people, and the entire army may be wiped out.

    Fortunately, the Blade Assault Brigade did not disappoint him. As the advance team of the assault, they took the lead in seizing the bridgehead across the river and the landing point established on the south bank.

    "Leader Han Qi!"

    "The end is here!"

    "Select elites to cross the river to support the south bank!"

    "No!"

    Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, was worried that it would be difficult to defend the south bank with only Cheng Fengzi's sharp blade assault brigade, so he asked the 12th Banner Regiment to transport troops across the river for reinforcements one by one.

    Although they only have more than a hundred fishing boats now, and the number of troops transported each time is limited, it is better than nothing.

    Han Feng, the head of the Twelfth Banner, strode away to organize soldiers to cross the river by fishing boats to reinforce the south bank.

    However, Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, quickly ordered the First Banner Battalion of Engineers, who had already been on standby, to use fishing boats as a carrier to quickly build a pontoon bridge to prepare for the army's crossing of the river.

    ? While the main force of the Qinghe Army going south on the north bank was preparing intensively, the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade, which had seized Xilang Port on the south bank, was not idle.

    After they captured Xilang Port with little effort, they realized that the southern army's combat effectiveness was not strong during the battle.

    Therefore, the bold Cheng Fengzi of Yigao left 500 people to guard more than 2,000 prisoners of war, and he led more than 1,000 elite assault brigade soldiers and went straight to Wanzhou City not far away.

    Wanzhou City is just a county seat, but because Xilang Port is an important port, a Southern Army infantry battalion is also stationed here.

    Naturally, the soaring flames of Xilang Port could not be concealed from the Southern Army Garrison Headquarters stationed in Wanzhou City.??.

    Seeing the fire on the side of Xilang Port, they realized that something might happen there.

    Therefore, after a battalion general of the Southern Army was woken up in bed, he did not dare to neglect and quickly assembled his troops, and went straight to Xilang Port for reinforcements.

    It's just that the Southern Army has been practicing for a long time, which caused their assembly to be slow.

    It wasn't until the battle at Xilang Port was over that they assembled, and then, holding torches, they headed straight for Xilang Port.

    What they didn't know was that Madman Cheng also rushed towards them with more than a thousand Qinghe army elites.

    "Quick, speed up!"

    The battalion generals of the Southern Army rode on sedan chairs, constantly urging the troops to speed up their march.

    "The first brother to enter Wanzhou City will be promoted to a higher rank!"

    At the same time, Cheng Fengzi also led the brothers of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade to march in a hurry.

    Their original mission was to defend Xilang Port, but they felt that the strength of the Southern Army was too weak.

    ? After capturing Xilang Port, it was decided to take advantage of the fact that the southern army in Wanzhou City could not figure out the situation at night, and took the opportunity to capture Wanzhou City, so as to use offense instead of defense.

    Otherwise, once the southern army in Wanzhou City reacts and finds out the situation after dawn, they will fall into a fierce battle.

    I have to say that Cheng Feng is really a daring lunatic who dared to raid a city guarded by thousands of people with more than a thousand troops.

    The Blade Assault Brigade is also veterans carefully selected from various units, whether it is long-range combat capabilities or melee hand-to-hand combat, they are all first-class.

    If it was placed in an ordinary army, the commander would have retreated a long time ago if he took such a risk.

    However, the soldiers of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade were not afraid at all. Instead, they were very excited, thinking that this was their opportunity to make contributions.

    The two armies were marching in opposite directions. The only difference was that the southern army was carrying torches, while the Blade Assault Brigade did not.

    "My lord, my lord, there is an army coming ahead!"

    When Madman Cheng led his men to march along the official road, a scout soldier who climbed up a big tree beside the road to observe the enemy's situation yelled loudly.

    The torches of the Confederate Army are bright and living targets at night, so the scouts can see clearly from a long distance.

    "My lord, it is estimated that the enemies in Wanzhou City have come out." A general of thousands of people guessed.

    "My lord, what should we do, fight or withdraw?" Another general of a thousand men turned his attention to the panting Cheng lunatic.

    "Rush up and kill them!"

    Encountering on a narrow road, the brave wins, and Madman Cheng only thinks for a few seconds before deciding to rush forward and crush the opponent.

    "Brothers, defeat the Southern Army and have breakfast in Wanzhou City!" Crazy Cheng roared loudly.

    More than 1,000 elites of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, their swords were unsheathed, and they rushed towards the reinforcements of the Southern Army not far away with a murderous look.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
