"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 819
Lingchuan Mansion is an important grain, fodder, and supply transfer point for the Qinghe Army, because the money, food and equipment from the Jiangnan Province arrived at Wuzhen Wharf in Suchuan Mansion along the Dongjiang River Basin.
These food, fodder and equipment need to pass through the transit point of Lingchuan Mansion before they can be further transported to Pingyong Mansion on the front line.
Moreover, the materials and fodder stored by the Qinghe Army in the early stage were all in Lingchuan Prefecture, so the strategic location here is quite important.
Once Lingchuan Mansion is captured, it will not only cut off the connection between the Qinghe Army on the front line and Suchuan Mansion, but also make it impossible for the Qinghe Army to look after each other.
At the same time, a large amount of food, fodder and supplies in Lingchuan Mansion will also fall into the hands of the enemy. As one changes, the Qinghe Army on the front line is in danger of running out of food.
Dong Hao, head of the Fifth Banner of the Qinghe Army, personally led two banner battalions of 10,000 brothers to guard here, and he also saw the importance of this place.
The rebel leader Yang Hao's eyes were equally venomous. After he was beaten to death at Pingyong Mansion on the front line, he changed his tactics and decided to occupy Lingchuan Mansion behind the Qinghe Army first.
If the Qinghe army from Pingyong Mansion came back to help, he could take the opportunity to rush forward, capture Pingyong Mansion, and take advantage of the situation in the field to eliminate the Qinghe Army by virtue of its superiority in strength.
If the Qinghe Army on the front line of Pingyong Mansion does not come back to help, he can seize the Qinghe Army's food and supplies, cut off the Qinghe Army's back route, and trap the Qinghe Army in Pingyong Mansion to death.
If it is possible, he will send people to further attack Suchuan Prefecture, occupy the wharf of the Qinghe Army, and cut off the connection between the Yunshan Province and the Qinghe Army of the Jiangnan Province.
Once Yang Hao's battle plan is successful, the situation of the Qinghe Army in Yunshan Province will become very difficult.
But what Yang Hao didn't expect was that when he planned to seek the Qinghe army's retreat and seize the food and fodder, the Qinghe army moved faster than him.
Now the light cavalry sent by the Qinghe Army have burned the money and food in his base camp and withdrew.
However, the Southern Army took advantage of the situation and occupied his base camp, Xingshui Mansion, but the news had not reached his ears.
Of the 20,000 rebel troops Yang Hao sent to capture Lingchuan Mansion, 10,000 of them were elites from the Tiger and Leopard Battalion. It was enough to see that Yang Hao was bound to win Lingchuan Mansion.
Dong Hao, head of the Fifth Banner of the Qinghe Army in Lingchuan Mansion, has 10,000 Qinghe Army troops in his hand. After he made a tentative attack on the rebels, he found that the opponent was not the weak one he seemed, so he took a defensive approach. attitude.
The Qinghe Army of the two banner battalions closed the four gates of Lingchuan Mansion tightly, and assumed a posture of not being able to hold on.
The rebels who arrived at Lingchuan Mansion also came with a mission. They had shown weakness before and still wanted to lure the Qinghe Army out to fight in the field, and then wipe out the defenders of the Qinghe Army, and then seize the city.
But they underestimated their opponent Dong Hao. Dong Hao only sent a small group of troops to test out the true strength of the rebels, and they were not fooled at all.
The rebels had no choice but to build a ladder on the spot, and then launched a large-scale attack on Lingchuan Mansion.
Lingchuan Mansion stores a large amount of food and equipment transported from the Jiangnan Province, and now there are two Qinghe Army with two banner battalions, which can be said to be invincible.
Seeing the rebels rushing forward aggressively, Dong Hao directly moved out the bed crossbows and octagonal ox crossbows in the treasury, and shot them all over the attacking rebels.
The Qinghe army occupies a strong city and has sharp weapons. Even if the rebel army has an elite tiger and leopard battalion of 10,000, flesh and blood are no match for crossbow arrows.
The rebels launched wave after wave of attacks on Lingchuan Mansion, but apart from dropping corpses all over the ground, they couldn't even climb up the top of the city.
The rebels thought that the main force of the Qinghe Army was concentrated on the front line of Pingyong Mansion, and there should not be many guards behind Lingchuan Mansion, so they had a certain chance of winning from the beginning, so they underestimated the enemy.
After paying a lot of casualties, they discovered that the Qinghe Army guards in Lingchuan Mansion were also weak bones.
The rebel commander who suffered heavy losses sent someone to report the situation to the rebel commander Yang Hao that night, hoping to get reinforcements.
Because relying on his strength, it is absolutely difficult to take down the heavily guarded Lingchuan Mansion.
When the courier of the rebel commander's request for additional troops was still on his way under the city of Lingchuan Prefecture, the commander Yang Hao had already received bad news.
"What, Xingshui Mansion was taken by the Southern Army?"
When Yang Hao's loyal officers from the direction of Xingshui Mansion rushed to the front camp, it was less than half the time since the Southern Army occupied Xingshui MansionIt's been a month.
"We encountered a raid by bandit cavalry, and all food, fodder and money were burned."
"Although we took back the Xingshui Mansion, the deputy general was worried about being punished by the commander, so he led his troops to surrender to the southern army."
"Now 20,000 southern troops have entered Xingshui Mansion and occupied several surrounding counties"
This ragged, dirty rebel officer trekked to the front line with difficulty, and reported their encounters to the commander Yang Hao in detail.
"Asshole!"
"I'm going to kill him!"
When he heard that the money and food in the base camp were burned, and the remaining troops surrendered to the Southern Army fearing punishment, Yang Hao was also furious.
You must know that the money and food they plundered in Yunshan Province are all in the base camp, and now there is nothing. The key is that the Southern Army has also occupied Xingshui Mansion where the base camp is located.
Now that their rear is gone, and the food and fodder for the frontline army is only enough for a week, how can Yang Hao not be angry.
"Report¡ª¡ª"
"Urgent military situation!"
Before Yang Hao could lose his temper, he heard the sound of horseshoes outside.
Soon, a dusty cavalry rushed into the tent, and shouted without even caring about saluting.
"My lord, a large army of bandits has attacked Yangcheng Mansion, and Yangcheng Mansion has fallen!" the cavalryman gasped.
"When did this happen?!"
Yang Hao stepped forward, grabbed the cavalryman by the collar and shouted.
"Seven days ago."
"Bastard, Wang An of Yangcheng Mansion deserves to die!"
Yang Hao pulled out his saber angrily, and smashed the table into pieces.
Following the burning of food and grass in Xingshui Mansion, where the base camp was located, the southern army took advantage of the emptiness and entered, and Yangcheng Mansion was occupied again, everyone's mood was quite dignified.
Wu Feng, chief of staff, did not expect such a thing to happen. He was also worried when he thought of Yingshan Mansion and Nanling Mansion with weak troops.
Because most of their troops are concentrated here, the defense forces of the various prefectures and counties in the rear are quite weak.
Now there is a Qinghe army that has circled behind them. He feels that with the urgency of the Qinghe army, they will definitely take the opportunity to seize other counties.
"Assemble the army and fight back!"
Dazed by anger, Yang Hao was furious at the thought of being attacked in the rear, and immediately ordered to go back angrily.
"My lord, no."
Seeing that the angry Yang Hao was about to lead his troops back, Wu Feng, chief of staff, couldn't help but sighed and stood up to stop him.
