"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 607
The southern army's scouts suffered heavy losses from the hunting of the Qinghe army's elite sharp-blade assault brigade. As a result, the information obtained by the general Li Hong continued to decrease.
Facing the elite Qinghe Army Sharp Blade Assault Brigade, the Southern Army's scouts almost escaped death.
After all, the brothers of the Blade Assault Brigade are all selected veterans who have undergone systematic training.
Whether it is lurking, infiltrating or assassinating, the brothers of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade are all first-class existences.
Compared with the regular soldiers of the Southern Army, the scouts of the Southern Army were relatively elite.
However, they have been stationed in several provinces of the Southern Army for a long time, where the weather is good, the land is fertile, and the people are rich.
Therefore, these southern troops have also developed a lazy temperament, and now they are suddenly facing life and death, and they are naturally at a disadvantage.
"General, there are documents!"
General Li Hong sent someone to send the captured three-edged saber and crossbow, the cutting-edge weapons, to General Zhennan.
As soon as the sender left, the messenger sent by General Zhennan arrived at their frontline army.
General Li Hong opened the official document sent by General Zhennan, and after reading it, he handed it to the generals of the Third Corps for circulation.
Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan asked General Li Hong to speed up his march and ordered him to eliminate the bandit army within half a month and stabilize the situation in Jiangnan Province.
The Jiangnan Province is the old nest of their southern army. Now that the old nest has been turned upside down by the Qinghe army, they can say that they have lost their face.
Moreover, many of the rich families and chaebols now own many properties in Jiangnan Province, so they are also putting pressure on Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan.
Many soldiers of the Southern Army were also from the Jiangnan Province. They heard that their hometown was breached by the Qinghe Army, and they all returned home.
But at this critical moment, Yang Hao's rebel army went crazy and bit the main force of the southern army, making it impossible for them to send more troops to help.
Under multiple pressures, Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan was quite helpless, so he could only send someone to urge General Li Hong to order him to wipe out the Qinghe Army within half a month and stabilize the situation in Jiangnan Province.
Because if the situation in Jiangnan Province cannot be stabilized in a short period of time, the situation of their Southern Army will become more and more difficult.
If the Qinghe Army gained a firm foothold in the Jiangnan Province, it would not be easy for them to drive the Qinghe Army away.
General Li Hong couldn't help sighing when he saw the order from Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan urging him to march.
Although the apparent strength of the Qinghe Army is only 30,000 to 40,000, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Li Hong's original intention was to further figure out the situation of the Qinghe Army's defenses, etc., and then gradually map it.
However, their scouts were hunted down by the Qinghe army and were at a disadvantage, lacking intelligence.
Now facing the urging of Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan, Li Hong, as the leading general, also feels involuntary.
"General, what should we do now?"
Facing General Zhennan's order to urge them to march, the generals all turned their attention to General Li Hong.
"The thieves are cunning and vicious. They are now entrenched in the Xitian Mansion. I suspect that they have a conspiracy. As for the specific conspiracy, it is not clear for the time being because of the lack of intelligence support."
"But the general wants us to eliminate the bandit army as soon as possible and stabilize the Jiangnan province. We can't stand still, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the general or those rich and powerful families."
"Zhang Rang¡ª¡ª"
General Li Hong called the name of a general.
"The end is here!"
A young general stepped forward and waited for orders.
"I order you to lead 20,000 troops as the vanguard, and first go to test the reality of the bandit army." General Li Hong ordered.
"Obey!"
The young general Zhang Rang saw Li Hong entrusting himself with the task of vanguard, with a cruel smile on his face, he wanted to kill the bandit army to make meritorious deeds!
Li Hong was able to become a general of the southern army, so he was naturally not as simple-minded as he seemed, and he was still a little sensitive to the battlefield.
The Qinghe army's tactics were flexible and changeable, and their left behind troops were defeated, so Li Hong was also extra cautious.
Now that their scouts can't gain the upper hand in a short time, he can only send a force to test the Qinghe army.
Although the information now shows that the Qinghe Army is entrenched in Xitian Mansion, Li Hong always has a feeling that it is impossible for the Qinghe Army to just wait for them to attack.
Facing their large army, the Qinghe army entrenched in Xitian Mansion did not move, either because they were overconfident, or because they had some backup.
Now he doesn't have time to figure out the layout of the Qinghe army. Time is running short, so he can only send Zhang Rang to lead an army to kill them directly.
Even if the Qinghe army had any conspiracy, only Zhang Rang's forward troops would be lost.
Their main force fell behind, and if there was a change in the front, they would have time to deal with it calmly.
It has to be said that Li Hong can become a general of the Southern Army. In addition to being sensitive to the battlefield, his commanding ability is also worthy of recognition.
Under the arrangement of General Li Hong, the 20,000 Southern Army troops led by Zhang Rang broke away from the main force and rushed to Xitian Mansion in a mighty manner.
Li Hong followed behind to gather the stragglers from all over the place, and at the same time sent partial divisions to the capital Qingpu Mansion, Yancheng Mansion and other areas occupied by the Qinghe Army.
The Qinghe army is now shrinking across the board, and there are more than a thousand defenders left in various prefectures and counties, and as few as several hundred.
They saw the large troops of the Southern Army approaching, and after burning down the treasury, they retreated straight away.
"The Second Battalion of the Third Corps has recovered three counties under Qingpu Prefecture."
"The Fifth Battalion of the Third Corps reverted to Changrong County, Yancheng Prefecture."
"The Second Battalion of the Civilian Army will restore Yancheng Fufu City."
The Southern Army's return reinforcements went extremely smoothly. Everywhere they went, they successfully recovered the area occupied by the Qinghe Army with almost no resistance.
Facing the successive good news from various troops, General Li Hong was not only not happy at all, but became more worried.
The Qinghe army showed a strong combat power in the early stage, but now it is as vulnerable as a mob. The contrast is simply too great.
He is now almost sure that the Qinghe army must have some conspiracy, otherwise, they would not be able to recover these prefectures and counties smoothly.
"Order all troops to strengthen their vigilance to prevent sneak attacks by bandits."
Because their scouts are not strong enough, they have no other way but to strengthen their vigilance.
"I suspect that Xitian Mansion is a bait, and the bandits are trying to lure us into the bait."
Some generals of the Southern Army also felt that the atmosphere was not right, and put forward their own conjectures.
"If this is the case, the Xitian Mansion must not be the main force of the bandit army, and their main force must be hiding somewhere." Someone echoed.
"But our scouts were hunted as soon as they went out, and we don't know where the main force of the bandit army is hiding."
Someone suggested: "Didn't General Zhang lead the vanguard troops into the territory of Xitian Mansion? Let them pretend to be the main force and draw the bandits out."
"Let's follow quietly. As soon as the main force of the bandit army appears, we will pounce on them and wipe them out."
"The thieves' fighting strength is strong, and we may not be able to win all by relying on us alone." Someone said worriedly.
"Aren't there many militia troops around, let them also get ready to attack."
"Once we find the main force of the bandit army, we will surround them from all directions and completely surround and destroy them."
"But what if the thieves have no conspiracy, and they stay in Xitian Mansion?" Someone put forward another hypothesis.
"That's even simpler. We surround Xitian Mansion, and the bandit army will be unable to escape." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
