"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 628
In the dark night, the Southern Army troops holding torches rushed westward like a mighty dragon.
"Quick, speed up!"
The generals of the Southern Army rode their horses and galloped, constantly urging the army to speed up their march, trying to catch up with Yang Hao's main force of the rebel army, encircling and annihilating them.
"General, many brothers have fallen behind."
After the southern army tore through the defense line on the eastern border of Yunshan Province, it marched westward without stopping.
Along the way, except for a short break for meals, the soldiers of the Southern Army were almost on their way, exhausted.
In the dark night, many soldiers of the Confederate Army were too sleepy, and many soldiers were so exhausted that they snored everywhere when they fell on the side of the road.
Seeing more and more soldiers falling behind, some generals also went to find Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan, hoping to get some time to rest.
"Let the brothers who are lagging behind catch up, and the team will not stop!"
Luo Mingyuan, the Great General of Zhennan, knew that the speed of soldiers is very important. If they delay, let Yang Hao know that they are coming, and if Yang Hao's rebels are prepared, the battle will be difficult.
Although the soldiers of the Southern Army were exhausted, they could only grit their teeth and persevere in the face of Luo Mingyuan's order.
"The first unit to bite the rear of the rebels will not have to turn in the loot when they turn back, and will have a one-month holiday! All the leading generals will be promoted to three ranks, and all the soldiers will be rewarded!"
In order to boost morale, Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan also announced his own reward plan to the army.
Hearing such a generous reward, Luo Mingyuan didn't need to urge him, the generals leading the troops screamed excitedly.
The troops of the Southern Army rushed westward in panic. Although there were many soldiers left behind along the way, and the team ran in a hurry, their speed was very fast.
"Damn, I'm thirsty, go find some water over there."
In the middle of the night, a group of hungry and thirsty Confederate soldiers saw a village next to the provincial highway, and hurried over to try to replenish their food and drink some water before marching.
However, when they first walked to the entrance of the village, they smelled a strong smell of blood. After entering the village, the blood of the scattered corpses had solidified and turned dark red.
"You are from that unit, what are you doing here?!"
This group of Southern Army soldiers were shocked and speechless when they saw the corpses everywhere. A murderous Southern Army officer walked out of the village and questioned them from a distance.
This group of Southern Army soldiers also felt a chill down their backs when they saw the badge on the officer's cuff.
?Because the officer's attire belonged to the elite Skeleton Battalion directly under General Zhennan. They were bloodthirsty and easy to kill, and they were the ace elite that General Zhennan Luo Mingyuan relied heavily on.
"My lord, we want to come over and find some water to drink"
A Southern Army soldier replied with a trembling voice.
"Go elsewhere, the water here is not clean." The officer of the skeleton battalion said.
"No¡ª¡ª"
With the help of the firelight, this group of Southern Army soldiers saw soldiers from the Skeleton Battalion carrying corpses in the distance. They didn't dare to stay for a long time, and immediately turned around and left as if to flee.
?Confederate Army Skeleton Battalion activities can be seen in various villages and towns along the Southern Army's marching route.
In order to prevent the news of their killing from leaking out, almost all the villages and towns they entered were human and livestock.
The villages and towns along the march of the Southern Army soon became lifeless and became a dead place.
The southern army troops commanded by Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan marched westward all the way. In the early morning of the third day, they caught up with the rear guard of the rebel army Yang Hao.
"General, there are rebel troops stationed in the village ahead."
The scouts were also very excited when they discovered the rear guard of the rebel army, and immediately ran back to the main road to report to Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan.
Luo Mingyuan led a group of generals with bloodshot eyes to the small hill next to the village. His eyes pierced through the mist, and he saw that the village was surrounded by camps and many rebel guard posts were active.
This is already the hinterland of Yunshan Province, so Yang Hao's rearguard scouts also withdrew back, without realizing that a large army had rushed up with their buttocks.
"They don't have many troops, it is estimated that there are only one or two thousand people."
After observing the small village that was still sleeping, General Zhennan judged that the opponent was just a small army that was left behind.
"You lead the team to destroy them, remember to move quickly and don't make too much noise."
Luo Mingyuan immediately called out the name of a lieutenant general, and asked him to lead his troops to kill the rebels, and capture a few prisoners to inquire about the situation.
"No!"
After the deputy general responded, he immediately turned back to the main road, gathered a battalion of southern troops, and surrounded the village.
"Who is that over there?"
The sentinels of the rebels saw figures in the mist, and they also opened their eyes wide to try to see each other clearly.
But when the other party got closer and saw the other party's clothing clearly, their expressions also changed.
"Clang clang clang¡ª¡ª"
The warning gong pierced the tranquility of the small village, and the rebel sentries ran back in panic.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The sentinel yelled at the top of his voice, and when many sleeping rebel soldiers crawled out of the warm blankets in a daze, the soldiers of the Southern Army had already entered the village.
"Kill!"
The murderous southern army pounced on the disheveled rebel soldiers, and immediately started an almost one-sided massacre.
The Southern Army quickly defeated the unsuspecting rebel troops like chopping melons and vegetables, and then the battle ended in just half an hour, and more than a thousand rebel soldiers were almost wiped out.
Through interrogating the prisoners, they learned that their commander, Yang Hao, was leading a large force only half a day away from them.
After receiving the information, Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan also quickly summoned the generals under his command and assigned tasks to them.
The generals of the southern army who received the order were also very excited. Regardless of their exhaustion, they immediately led the team to outflank Yang Hao's troops.
The rebel leader Yang Hao is resting in a town at the moment, because they have controlled Yunshan Province.
Now almost all the military and political power in Yunshan Province is controlled by Yang Hao alone, so the local gentry and rich people all came up to hug their thighs one after another, entertaining the victorious division with good wine and food.
Yang Hao also knew that his foundation was still shallow and he needed the support of these gentry and rich men, so he would not refuse anyone who came. Last night, he drank with the gentry and rich men until late at night, so he didn't wake up until noon.
Due to drinking too much wine, Yang Hao's head was still groggy, but when he saw him wake up, the guard immediately brought the prepared meals.
Just as Yang Hao picked up his job, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing in the distance, which made Yang Hao frown uncontrollably.
"Go and see what's going on?"
Yang Hao was pulling food into his mouth while sending a bodyguard to check the situation.
The troops under Yang Hao are all rebellious and rebellious. In order to be able to control this rather complicated army, he also turned a blind eye to their open and secret struggles.
Because only when the generals under him compete with each other can he sit firmly in the position of commander.
Hearing the shouts of killing in the distance, he thought it was the two generals who were fighting again.
But what Yang Hao never expected was that the shouts of killing in the distance were not because the generals under his command were fighting with weapons again, but because the troops of the Southern Army were culling them up.
