"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 882
The battle clouds in Dongjiang Province were densely covered, and the mighty rebels were like locusts, marching eastward along the provincial highway.
?On the provincial highway, banners and flags were waving, swords and guns were like forests, and the marching team of the rebels was densely packed with no end in sight.
The rebel army led by Yang Hao incorporated a considerable part of the Southern Army and seized the treasuries of the Southern Army's counties, making their equipment look brand new and their food more abundant.
But now they not only have to ensure that they can eat enough, but also ensure that there is enough food to be transported north to the rebel base camp.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Hao, who has been promoted to the right marshal of the rebel army, launched the Eastern Expedition in an attempt to capture the Jiangnan Province.
We must know that the Jiangnan province has experienced wars and burnings, and the land is fertile and the population is large. The money and food accumulated over the years are really quite a lot.
When Chen Ziang sent his troops south to seize the Jiangnan Province, he also went for the grain and grass of the Jiangnan Province.
The purpose of the rebel army now is exactly the same as Chen Ziang's original purpose, which is to grab food.
In this war-torn era, land, food and population have become important resources for all parties to compete for.
However, Jiangnan Province is rich, whether it is land, food or population, it is the target.
Facing the murderous rebels rushing towards them, although the Third Field Army of the Qinghe Army in the eastern part of the province felt the pressure, they were also fighting with high spirits.
The director of the Operations Executive Department of the Qinghe Army and others had just died at the hands of the rebels, and a grand mourning ceremony was held within the Qinghe Army.
In particular, Chen Ziang, the commander of the Qinghe Army, personally put their urns into the Zhonglie Hall, and called on the soldiers of the Qinghe Army not to be afraid of sacrifice, to end the war with war, and to return the peace of the world.
Under Chen Ziang's call, especially at this moment full of hatred for the rebels, the Qinghe army is now full of fighting spirit.
So when the rebels approached aggressively, the Qinghe Army Third Field Army Corps also carried out an emergency mobilization, and then rushed to the front line.
The rebel army marched eastward in mighty force. They were magnificent, and the villages and towns along the way were looted, so that the people fled one after another.
After the mobilization of the Third Army of the Qinghe Army, all banner regiments and battalions also marched westward along the provincial highway.
Although the Qinghe army under Yuan Jie's command is not as powerful as the rebel army, but now the Qinghe army has the same hatred and no fear of the rebel army.
On the road to the west, the infantry and cavalry of the Qinghe Army were in good order. They strode forward in neat formations, and their cold spears were as magnificent as a forest.
The rebels did not conceal their strategic intentions at all, and they adopted the tactics of central breakthrough.
With a superior force of 400,000 concentrated, they tried to attack directly along the provincial road.
Facing the straightforward central breakthrough tactics of the rebels, Yuan Jie, the commander of the Third Army of the Qinghe Army, had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.
"Order the army to speed up and arrive at Jingyang Mansion within three days!"
Seeing the huge team marching in four columns along the provincial highway, Yuan Jie, standing on the dirt slope beside the road, felt that the speed was too slow.
After returning the corpses of the Director of Operations and others that day, the Third Army of the Qinghe Army also launched a retaliatory attack on the rebels, eliminating a considerable part of the rebels in the front.
At the same time, the provisional 16th Banner Regiment, which had taken refuge in the Qinghe Army, also entered Jingyang Mansion from the northeast obliquely, and seized the Jingyang Mansion area from the rebels.
Following the retaliatory actions of the Qinghe Army, the front line of the Qinghe Army has been pushed forward hundreds of miles. The main force of the Qinghe Army, which was originally on the front line, is still some distance away from the Jingyang Mansion on the front line.
Now guarding Jingyang Mansion is the temporary 16th Banner Regiment under the Qinghe Army, which was adapted from the Southern Army.
Because Jingyang Mansion was temporarily organized and captured by the 16th Banner Regiment, in order to show their trust, Yuan Jie did not send troops into the territory of Jingyang Mansion, but they were in charge of guarding it.
Now that a large number of the main force of the rebel army has come, Jingyang Mansion's provisional 16th Banner Regiment knows that it is not an opponent, so it has to urgently ask for help from the main force of the Qinghe Army.
Yuan Jie, the deputy commander, also mobilized the army immediately, and personally led the 12th, 13th, and 15th Banner Regiments of the Qinghe Army to Jingyang Mansion.
"Deputy Marshal, the road is full of fleeing civilians, the speed of the brothers is indeed too fast."
Although the deputy commander Yuan Jie asked the army to speed up the march and rush to Jingyang Mansion as soon as possible to reinforce the temporarily organized Sixteenth Banner Regiment.
theHowever, because the ferocity and brutality of the rebels had spread throughout the world, people everywhere fled.
Now the main roads leading to the Jiangnan province are full of fleeing people.
These common people dragged their families and drove their cattle and sheep, keeping the roads always crowded.
The Qinghe army marched retrograde to the west, in the opposite direction to the fleeing people, which hindered the march of the army.
"Let the person in charge of the military propaganda team come over!"
Yuan Jie also frowned when he saw the army moving slowly on the provincial highway and the noisy and chaotic refugees.
At this speed, the rebels might arrive at Jingyang Mansion one step ahead of them.
The Jingyang Mansion was only stationed by the provisional 16th Banner Regiment, and they had just come here, so Yuan Jie still didn't trust them.
If Jingyang Mansion falls, then if they want to find a stronger city to block the rebels, they can only retreat.
Not long after, a tall and thin young officer rushed to Yuan Jie in a hurry.
"Pei Long, the Propaganda Team of the Third Army, has met the deputy commander!"
This tall and thin young officer stood up and gave Yuan Jie a standard military salute.
"Take your people and go to guide the people who fled to the east. Explain that we are going to fight the rebels, let them make way for the army, and clear the way for me within an hour!" Deputy Marshal Yuan Jie announced to the army The team issued a death order.
"Deputy commander"
"No matter what method you use, if you can't clear the road, you, the captain of the military propaganda team, don't have to do it¡ª"
Before Pei Long, the captain of the military propaganda team, could explain, Yuan Jie interrupted him with a wave.
"No!"
The task of Pei Long and his military propaganda team is to pull up banners and write slogans along the way, just to boost morale.
Now that Yuan Jie suddenly gave them such a task, Pei Long also felt a lot of pressure.
But at this critical juncture, whether or not the task can be completed is the time to test a person's ability.
No matter how good his performance is at ordinary times, if he loses the chain at this critical moment, Pei Long will know the consequences.
Pei Long returned in a hurry, gathered all the brothers of the military propaganda team who were standing by the roadside and used iron horns to encourage morale, and rushed to the front team in a hurry.
The front of the entire road was crowded and chaotic, and the officers were yelling loudly, but the people also wanted to escape, so no one wanted to let it go.
There are even some grumpy officers who want to use violence to expel civilians who block their way.
Fortunately, the military propaganda team Pei Long and the others arrived in time to stop it. After all, the image of the Qinghe Army they had managed to establish could not be destroyed just like that.
Pei Long and the others held up the tin horn and explained to the people that they were going to fight the rebels and asked them to make way.
However, the people in front were able to get to the side of the road, but the people in the back kept coming, which made him a big headache. Some teams in the front team were dispersed by the fleeing refugees.
"Hand in hand, don't be washed away!"
Pei Long ordered more than 200 brothers in the military propaganda team to join hands in a hurry, forming a human wall to ensure that the team behind them would not be dispersed.
"Brothers, shout with me!" Pei Long quickly got his wits about him, and shouted with a tin horn.
"Fight the rebels, protect the hometown, don't get in the way, let both sides!"
"Fight the rebels, protect the hometown, don't get in the way, let both sides!"
The brothers in the military propaganda team all followed the chant and shouted, and soon the brothers behind followed suit, forming a huge sound wave.
Those people who blocked the way heard that the Qinghe army was going to fight the rebels and defend their hometown. They heard the slogan from a distance and gave way one after another, letting the Qinghe army go first.
And Pei Long and the others strode forward arm in arm, forcibly opening up a marching passage on the crowded provincial road. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
