"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 608
The Qinghe Army placed a partial division in Xitian Mansion, the purpose of which was to lure the Southern Army's return reinforcements to the bait, and then gather and annihilate them.
However, Li Hong, the general of the Southern Army's reinforcement team, was also a cunning old fox, and he was not fooled at all.
Although he did not have definite information that the Qinghe army entrenched in Xitian Mansion was the bait, but for the sake of caution, he only sent a vanguard force to test it out.
The main force led by Li Hong secretly followed the vanguard and could deal with any emergencies.
Even if the Qinghe Army has an ambush, their follow-up main force can rush forward at any time.
"The Southern Army is not all useless."
Seeing that the Southern Army was divided into two parts and marched towards Xitian Mansion, Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, could not help but increase his attention to his opponent after receiving the report.
"Did they discover our attempt?"
Now such an action by the Southern Army has made the staff feel a little uneasy.
Once the Southern Army saw through their plan, their situation became dangerous.
"I think they haven't seen through our attempt, they are just being cautious."
"If they had seen through our plan, they should have come to Yancheng Mansion instead of going to Xitian Mansion to fight against us."
"Since it's acting, let's act realistically to dispel their doubts."
Seeing that Li Hong, the general of the southern army, was so cautious, Yuan Jie also decided to do whatever he could.
"Thunder."
"The end is here!"
"Can you command three cavalry flag battalions and eat the vanguard of the southern army?" Yuan Jie, the deputy army commander, pointed to the blue arrow on the map.
The blue arrow pointed to Xitian Mansion, which was the 20,000 infantry led by Zhang Rang, the vanguard of the Southern Army.
"Brothers have already had itchy hands, we promise to complete the task!"
Lei Ming, the head of the Thirteenth Banner, also became excited when he saw that Yuan Jie had given them a mission to wipe out the enemy.
"After you wiped out the vanguard of the Southern Army, go directly to Xitian Mansion to assist Tian Changjie." Yuan Jie added.
"No!"
In order to avoid exposing that the Xitian Mansion was not their main force, and at the same time deliberately revealing that there were soldiers in ambush, Yuan Jie decided to eat the vanguard of the Southern Army and give them a disarm.
Because once their vanguard troops arrive at the capital of Xitian Prefecture, but their main force has not entered the ambush circle, it will be difficult for the Qinghe army to fight on two fronts.
So now eat their vanguard and force their main force to come up for reinforcements.
Lei Ming's Thirteenth Banner Regiment, in addition to the cavalry directly under it, also has four banner battalions with 20,000 sturdy cavalry.
Now Tan Feng's cavalry banner battalion has been temporarily transferred to the command of Tian Changjie from Xitian Prefecture, so now Lei Ming can only command the banner regiment's direct subordinates and the other three banner battalions.
The three banner battalions plus the troops directly under the banner regiment have a total of more than 17,000 people, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong.
They wrapped their horseshoes, left the hidden area overnight, and headed towards the territory of Xitian Mansion. Their goal was to destroy the vanguard of the Southern Army.
The leading general of the vanguard of the Southern Army was Zhang Rang, and they were also notified that there might be an ambush by the Qinghe Army, and they were asked to march slowly and be more vigilant.
In addition to serving as the vanguard, they also have a task of being a bait. If the Qinghe Army has an ambush, they are responsible for luring the Qinghe Army out.
So in the past few days, they have played many battle flags, pretending to be the main force of the Southern Army.
But to their surprise, they were only two days away from the capital of Xitian Prefecture, and there was still no trace of the Qinghe Army's ambush.
"Could it be that General Li made a mistake?"
Because they came all the way smoothly, and they didn't find anything unusual, so they were full of doubts about General Li Hong's intelligence.
"Never mind him, just be more vigilant."
"Tell the brothers, the number of sentry posts at night will be tripled, and if you encounter bandit troops attacking, stand by and wait for help!"
Zhang Rang, the commander of the Vanguard Force, was born in a big family and was familiar with military books since he was a child, so he can be regarded as a rare young general in the battle order of the Southern Army.
Zhang Rang also raised the vigilance of the troops along the way, especially at night, in addition to increasing the sentry posts.?A troop was also set aside for the night just in case.
But to their disappointment, their nerves had been tense all the time, but their work was in vain, because there was no Qinghe army to attack them at all.
After dawn, they packed up their salutes again, reorganized their team, and continued to march towards Xitian Mansion along the official road.
The contingent of more than 20,000 Southern Army soldiers looked like a long winding dragon, with flags unfurled and swords and guns like forests, but it looked magnificent.
The Southern Army soldiers marching along the official road would never have thought that pairs of bloodthirsty eyes were staring at them in the dense forest not far from them.
Lei Ming did not choose to attack the vanguard of the Southern Army at night, because the opponent was heavily guarded at night, and for their cavalry units, night combat was not so advantageous.
The night is dark, even if it can make the enemy unclear about the situation, it also limits the combat effectiveness of their cavalry.
So Lei Ming, the head of the 13th Banner, chose to attack in broad daylight.
"Are you clear about your respective tasks?"
Seeing the vanguard of the Southern Army marching slowly along the official road, Lei Ming hidden in the forest withdrew his gaze and asked the banner battalion commanders and deputy banner battalion commanders standing side by side.
"clear!"
The Banner Battalion Commander and Deputy Banner Battalion Commanders also answered in unison. They couldn't wait to rush down and chop each other into pieces.
"Action¡ª"
Lei Ming nodded, with a fierce look on his face.
The Banner Battalion Commander and Deputy Banner Battalion Commanders quickly disappeared into the forest, and groups of cavalry from the Qinghe Army were ready for battle.
"General, general, there is a situation ahead!"
At night, let Zhang let the vanguard officer dare not sleep too much, so when he marched during the day, he was carried on a stretcher made of bamboo poles to sleep and march.
The stretcher wobbled so that Zhang Rang slept comfortably. He was dreaming when an officer rode over and woke him up.
Zhang Rang opened his eyes, and the glare of the sun forced him to reach out to block the light.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Rang asked lazily.
"The cavalry of the bandit army was found ahead." The officer who reported the letter said with a serious face.
Hearing that the cavalry of the Qinghe Army had been spotted, Zhang Rang lost all sleepiness and sat up from the stretcher.
"How many people?" Zhang Rang asked.
"I don't know the number, there are many." The officer replied.
"Waste¡ª"
Zhang Rang couldn't help cursing and got off the stretcher.
Surrounded by a group of generals, Zhang Rang quickly rushed to the front of the team, and a general was commanding the troops to assemble and prepare for the battle.
Zhang Rang saw the banners waving on the plain in the distance, and the Qinghe army cavalry had drawn their swords out of their sheaths, and the sharp swords were as bright as snow, which made him gasp.
The gathering of more than 5,000 cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army seemed much larger than the gathering of 5,000 infantrymen.
They are so densely packed that people feel like there are thousands of horses and horses. Zhang Rang guessed that the opponent has at least tens of thousands of cavalry.
Encountering the opponent's cavalry on such a flat place, Zhang Rang also knew that the terrain was not good for them.
"Withdraw, retreat!"
Fortunately, they had just walked out of the hilly area not far away. As long as they retreated to the hilly area, the cavalry would have nothing to do with them.
