    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 569

    Under the dark night, the Dongjiang River flows slowly, and from time to time there are big fish splashing in a string of splashes.

    The villages near the north bank of the Dongjiang River are already crowded with heavily armed soldiers of the Qinghe Army, who have gathered in this area in secret in recent days.

    ?The southern army of the Far East Dynasty broke out in battle with Yang Hao's troops, and the food, medicinal materials, and salt in the south were strictly controlled.

    The Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army is now in a period of rapid development, and the supplies are interrupted, so Chen Ziang has to launch an active attack to open up the supply channel and solve the plight of insufficient supplies.

    Now the Southern Army and Yang Hao, a supporter of the Fourth Prince, are fighting on the front line in Yunshan, Dongjiang Province.

    Therefore, Chen Zi'ang had no intention of going into the muddy water. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Southern Army was gathering in Dongjiang Province and confronting Yang Hao's troops, so as to sneak attack Jiangnan Province where the headquarters of the Southern Army of the Far East Dynasty was located.

    The Jiangnan Province has fertile land and abundant rainfall. It was one of the provinces that produced grain in the south of the Far Eastern Dynasty.

    Moreover, the Jiangnan Province is also an important source of taxation for the Far Eastern Dynasty. As long as the Jiangnan Province is conquered, the strength of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army will rise to a higher level.

    At that time, the Second Army of the Qinghe Army will not have to worry about money and food, so for this attack, Chen Ziang also prepared for half a month.

    Li Lang led his troops to guard the West Camp, responsible for monitoring the Governor of Jiangbei Province and defending King Ning's mighty army, so he couldn't do without him.

    Chen Zi'ang, the supreme commander of the Qinghe Army's Second Corps, had to sit in Yunxi Mansion to coordinate the military, develop the economy, etc., and he couldn't leave.

    Therefore, this time Chen Ziang appointed Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the army, as the supreme commander of the southward fighting spirit.

    Chen Ziang dispatched the 12th Banner Regiment of the Infantry and the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry under the command of Yuan Jie, who were responsible for taking down Jiangnan Province.

    Han Feng's 12th Banner Regiment of Infantry has 20,000 soldiers in four banner battalions, and Lei Ming's 13th Banner Regiment of cavalry has 20,000 cavalry in 4 banner battalions, totaling more than 40,000 troops.

    Although the main force of the Southern Army has been transferred to the front line of the Dongjiang Province, there are still 100,000 Southern Army left behind in the Jiangnan Province.

    Therefore, the task of Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, is not easy this time. He must win the Southward Campaign without superior military strength.

    ? If he failed this offensive campaign, not only would the Qinghe army be seriously injured, but the southern army would also strengthen their defenses, and their situation would become even more difficult.

    When the 12th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Infantry and the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry secretly assembled in the southern part of Jiangbei Province, Yuan Jie had already reached the north bank of the Dongjiang River.

    The Dongjiang River runs through the Yunshan Province, the Dongjiang Province and the Jiangnan Province. Although the water flow is flat, the narrowest part of the river is 30 to 40 meters.

    In order to successfully capture the Jiangnan province, the first thing that Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, faced was how to cross the army without the southern army on the opposite side noticing it.

    Now in order to block the river, the southern army not only deployed heavy troops at the crossings on the south bank of the Dongjiang River.

    At the same time, the Dongjiang Navy of the Southern Army also sent a lot of patrol boats to swim on the river to crack down on the smuggling of food and other materials to the Jiangbei Province.

    In the yard of a hidden fishing village on the north bank of the Dongjiang River, torches were brightly lit, and dozens of heavily armed guards guarded the yard.

    "The information provided by the Intelligence and Investigation Department shows that there is an infantry battalion of 5,000 soldiers from the Southern Army and 15 fast boats from the Navy stationed at Xilang Port opposite us."

    Inside the candlelit room, an intelligence officer was reporting the enemy's situation to the senior military officers sitting around.

    "Our scout team has been investigating in the past few days, and also discovered the patrol pattern of the Southern Army Clippers on the opposite side. They all go every half an hour."

    The officers of the 12th Banner Regiment and the 13th Banner Regiment quietly listened to the intelligence staff's enemy briefing, all in silence, and some officers lowered their heads to record in detail.

    "Twenty miles away from Xilang Port is Wanzhou City. There is an infantry battalion of 5,000 people stationed by the Southern Army. According to intelligence, there are actually only more than 4,000 people."

    "We have collected 130 fishing boats so far, each of which can take eleven people across the river at one time, and more than 1,400 people can cross the river each time."

    "In addition, we also collected 15 cargo ships, each of which can carry 60 troops, and can transport nearly 1,000 people across the river each time."

    "Now we have 40,000 troops and 25,000 horses. If we all cross the river, it will take at least two or three days to cross the river."All over.  "

    "But if this happens, the southern army will get the news and rush over quickly. Even if we cross the river, we will face a fierce battle."

    "So the battle plan of our staff office is that the army will cross the river through the pontoon bridge, and the vanguard will go there first to seize the port of Xilang, buying time for the First Banner Battalion of Engineers to build the pontoon bridge."

    Chen Zi'ang's craftsman battalion has now been reorganized into three engineer banner battalions, and this time, an engineer banner battalion has been deployed under the command of the deputy head of the army, Yuan Jie.

    "According to the estimate of the First Banner Battalion of Engineers, it will take one day to build the pontoon bridge. I agree with this plan. Do you have any other opinions?"

    After Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, listened to the enemy's report and the battle plan from the staff office, he immediately set his sights on dozens of middle and senior officers of the two banner regiments.

    "I have no opinion."

    Lei Ming, head of the Thirteenth Banner Cavalry, was the first to express his opinion, agreeing to this battle plan.

    Because it is unrealistic for the 20,000 cavalry and 25,000 horses of the Thirteenth Banner Regiment to cross the river by ferry, they prefer the pontoon bridge.

    "I have no objection either."

    After thinking for a while, Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner of the Infantry, nodded in agreement.

    "Let's choose the vanguard from our 12th Banner Regiment." Han Feng asked for a fight.

    After all, their Twelfth Banner Regiment is an infantry unit, and this time it is one of the main forces, and cavalry cannot be allowed to take the lead.

    "Master Han, why don't you give our Blade Assault Brigade a chance?"

    As soon as Han Feng's words fell, a sharp and bald officer smiled and spoke.

    This capable officer with a bald head is the commander of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade and the current winner of the Warrior Medal of the Qinghe Army's Second Corps, Cheng Feng, nicknamed "Madman".

    The Sharp Blade Assault Brigade was a special warfare unit built by Chen Ziang himself. It now has 2,000 people, and this time it was transferred to Yuan Jie's command.

    Cheng Fengzi was originally a thousand-man general in the First Banner Regiment, and was later promoted to Deputy Banner Battalion Commander and Banner Battalion Commander because of his military exploits.

    Later, you were transferred from the First Banner Regiment and served as the commander of the Blade Assault Brigade, responsible for training the Blade Assault Brigade.

    They have been training secretly in the Tongshan Base near Yunxi Mansion, and have never had a chance to show their hands.

    So this time I also want to be the advance force, and try the training effect by the way.

    "Captain Han Qi, the Blade Assault Brigade is good at assault operations, why not let them be the advance troops." Yuan Jie said with a smile.

    Although Han Feng, the head of the banner, was a little reluctant, but since Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, spoke up, he still wanted to show some face.

    "In this case, I wish you the sharp blade assault brigade a successful start." Han Feng nodded to Madman Cheng.

    "Thank you, Mr. Han."

    Crazy Cheng also thanked Han Feng for giving up his vanguard position so generously.

    "They are all my brothers, thank you." Han Feng smiled and waved his hand.

    Yuan Jie, deputy head of the army, said: "Crazy Cheng, you must hear clearly about the mission of the advance troops."

    "Not only do you have to smuggle over there and take Xilang Port quickly, but you also have to hold it firmly for at least one day. Can you do it? If you can't, you can bring it up now and I'll send someone else."

    Crazy Cheng laughed and said: "Master Yuan, please rest assured, our Blade Assault Brigade promises to complete the mission!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
