"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 635
Outside the city of Hanchenggang, wailing was everywhere, and in the face of the violent expulsion by soldiers of the Southern Army, countless refugees died in the wilderness.
Seeing that their parents, wives and children were alive or dead, the forced laborers tried to escape from the fortified city to find their wives and children.
But now the Southern Army is like a frightened bird, wishing to make the city defense of Hancheng Port impenetrable, so how could they let the civilians leave.
Many civilian husbands who tried to leave were detained in a centralized manner. Following the order of a southern army general in charge, hundreds of heads fell to the ground.
The Southern Army tried to use knives to suppress these forced conscripts, but it backfired.
The peasants seemed to be obedient to those Confederate soldiers with sharp-edged spears on the surface, but they were filled with more hatred in their hearts.
"It's really a bunch of cheap bones. If you don't chop off some of their heads, you won't be restless."
Seeing that the civilian husbands who came here by force were too frightened to move, the generals of the Southern Army couldn't help but sneered.
"Today, another defensive wall will be built here. If the construction is not completed, we will not be able to eat!"
The general of the Southern Army pointed to a field and increased the intensity of labor for the peasants.
The peasants clenched their fists tightly. If it weren't for the soldiers of the Southern Army standing around, they would have rushed forward and tore the general of the Southern Army to pieces.
The civil unrest caused by the southern army expelling tens of thousands of refugees outside the city was quickly suppressed.
Although Hancheng Port looks calm on the surface, it is actually undercurrents.
Although the Qinghe Army has two banner regiments of more than 40,000 troops in the Jiangnan Province, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the Jiangnan Province with ten prefectures.
The Qinghe army occupied more than 90% of the prefectures and counties. Because of the shortage of troops, many towns only stationed more than a hundred people, and the troops were extremely weak.
The local garrison battalions, provincial garrison, southern army stragglers and militia troops that the Qinghe army defeated were scattered everywhere, posing a great threat to the Qinghe army.
In just a few days, several towns were captured by the counterattack of the remnants of the large Southern Army, and the Qinghe Army stationed there were all killed because of too few troops.
Facing the situation, Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, also realized that although they had wiped out the main force of the Southern Army in Jiangnan Province, the enemies scattered everywhere were still strong.
Yuan Jie had to mobilize troops to clear out the confluence of bandits and southern army stragglers to ensure the stability of the rear.
Although the large-scale battle in Xitian Mansion ended, small-scale battles continued in Jiangnan Province.
The Qinghe army has only occupied the prefectures and important towns of ten prefectures, and has no time to take care of the vast rural areas and remote places.
It was originally a banner battalion of the 13th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Cavalry that was in charge of attacking Hancheng Port, but they were transferred back by an order when they were halfway there.
?Because they found a militia army commanded by a local wealthy family behind them, they captured several towns controlled by the Qinghe Army in a row, and they had to turn around and go back to suppress and suppress them.
It is precisely because of the lack of troops of the Qinghe Army that the Hancheng Port is still in the hands of Ye Chun, the Southern Army Navy.
Although the Qinghe Army's current strength in Jiangnan Province is insufficient, which makes it impossible to attack Hancheng Port for a while, Ye Chun's good days are coming to an end.
After all, their naval fleet controls the Dongjiang River Basin. For the Qinghe Army, it is like a stab in the throat, and they can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Now Chen Ziang, the head of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army, personally sits in Jiangbei Province, supervising the battle of the 19th Banner Regiment of the Navy against the Southern Army Navy Fleet.
The 19th Banner Regiment of Sailors of the Qinghe Army has not been established for a short time. Most of the sailors are newly recruited fishermen, and their combat effectiveness is limited.
So now Hong Bo, the head of the 19th Banner, is commanding water bandits from all walks of life invited with a lot of money.
These water bandits led by Hong Bo attacked everywhere, constantly besieged and killed the patrol boats of the Southern Army Navy on the Dongjiang River Basin, and attacked their supply points along the coast.
When the news spread back to Hancheng Port where the Southern Army Navy Fleet's home port was located, the Navy General Ye Chun was also very angry.
"These water bandits are really tired!"
Ye Chun was filled with anger when he heard that several of their ports in the Dongjiang River Basin were breached by water bandits, and many patrol boats were besieged and killed.
Water bandits were beaten by them beforeThey had to flee everywhere, and now that their southern army had just been defeated by the Qinghe army, they dared to come out and take advantage of the fire to rob them. The huge gap made it difficult for Ye Chun to swallow this breath.
"We must teach these water bandits a good lesson, and let them know what will happen to them if they offend our Southern Army navy!"
The generals of the Southern Army's navy were also filled with righteous indignation, thinking that these water bandits were too arrogant, and simply ignored their navy fleet.
"General, I am willing to lead a troop to wipe out water bandits, so as to strengthen our navy!" Some generals clasped their fists and asked for a fight.
"Okay, General Wu, you immediately lead a fleet to wipe out the water bandits and kill them without mercy. I want the water bandits to know that a tiger's butt cannot be touched!"
Now the water bandits are suddenly attacking everywhere, aiming at their southern army navy fleet, Ye Chun and the others are so angry that they don't realize that the Qinghe Army is organizing behind it.
If they had calmed down a bit, they would have discovered how the water bandits who were not under each other's control and had conflicts with each other in the past would unite to deal with their navy fleet.
It's just that the southern army navy fleet has been rampant for too long, and they lack sufficient intelligence support.
They simply thought that the water bandits were taking advantage of the fire to attack them, but they didn't know that the Qinghe army was standing behind them.
It was the navy general Ye Chun who thought about the problem too simply, and they all thought according to inertia.
They didn't carefully connect the causes and consequences behind the water bandits attacking them, which made them a little slow to respond to changes in the surrounding environment, which laid the root of failure.
Under the command of Ye Chun, the general of the navy, a general of the southern army quickly led 200 ships and more than 3,000 sailors to wipe out the water bandits.
According to their inertial thinking, such a powerful force is more than enough to wipe out those water bandits with only a dozen boats.
However, after they were enraged, they attacked rashly without investigating the situation clearly. It can be said that one step was wrong, and failure was inevitable.
"More than 200 ships of the Southern Army Navy have left Hancheng Port, are heading up the river, and are rushing towards us."
The 19th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army has dispatched brothers to hide near Hancheng Harbor disguised as fishermen.
After seeing the Southern Army Navy Fleet attacking, they also sent the information back to Hong Bo, the head of the Nineteenth Banner, as soon as possible.
"More than two hundred boats, big or small?"
"They are all fast boats that can carry more than 20 soldiers, there are no big boats."
"Then they estimate that the number of troops dispatched will be at most 4,000 people. Throwing away the food and supplies on the ship, there will be more than 3,000 people at most."
As a veteran of the navy, Hong Bo quickly analyzed the strength of the South and South Army's navy. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
