"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 573
Silang Port is filled with black smoke, and among the ruined walls, a black wolf flag is fluttering in the wind.
The streets are still stained with blood after the fierce battle, and the people in coarse clothes are collecting corpses from all over the place with carts and transporting them outside the town for burial.
The Qinghe Army raided Xilang Port in Jiangnan province, quickly occupied this port across the river, and occupied it.
Now the pontoon bridge of the Qinghe Army is being built with the efforts of the First Banner Battalion of the Engineers.
Countless fishing boats are shuttling back and forth on the river, and the fishing boats full of Qinghe Army soldiers are transporting Qinghe Army soldiers.
Xilang Port is full of soldiers wearing black uniforms of the Qinghe Army. Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner, has already led the flag regiment to cross the Dongjiang River on a fishing boat.
The temporary headquarters of the 12th Banner Regiment was set up in the town of Xilanggang, while the Southern Headquarters was still on the north bank of the Dongjiang River.
"Now the Blade Assault Brigade has captured Wanzhou City, our Second Banner Battalion is number one, and the 2000th Team has taken over Wanzhou City."
"The second and third thousand troops of the Third Banner Battalion are marching towards the nearby Luoyang County."
In a low blue-tiled house in Xilang Town, the combat staff was pointing at the map and reporting the situation to the banner chief Han Feng in an orderly manner.
Now that the Qinghe Army has successfully raided Xilang Port, the troops of the Twelfth Banner Regiment have already crossed the river one after another.
Without waiting for the follow-up troops to come, the troops who first crossed the river have already centered on Xilang Port and attacked the surrounding areas to expand the results of the battle.
"Is Baiyang County occupied?"
"Master Banner, we don't have enough troops now, and we can't take care of Baiyang County."
"This is not possible. Baiyang County is the flank of Xilang Port. It must be occupied. Otherwise, if the Southern Army counterattacks, the ferry at Xilang Port will be dangerous. It will affect our follow-up troops crossing the river, and we will be cut off. Double danger."
"How many troops have crossed the river now?" Han Feng, the head of the banner, continued to ask.
The combat staff replied: "Reporting to the head of the banner, we have already crossed the river with eight thousand-man teams."
"Transfer the guards directly under the flag regiment to occupy Baiyang County!"
"Master Banner, no, once the direct guard is transferred, there will be no soldiers in Xilang Port." A staff member couldn't help dissuading him.
Han Feng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, as long as the outer area is stable, Xilang Port will be as solid as gold."
The ability of fishing boats to transport troops is limited, so many troops are still stranded on the north bank, making it difficult to cross the river quickly.
"Send the order to speed up the speed of crossing the river!"
"No!"
Now time is life, and they must capture more places before the Southern Army units stationed in Jiangnan Province react, in order to seize the initiative.
"The troops that have already crossed the river should not stop, and quickly advance to the deep attack!"
"No!"
Han Feng, head of the Twelfth Banner, looked out the window at the continuously assembled troops, his face still serious.
They have only opened the gate of Jiangnan Province now, and there is still a long way to go if they want to occupy the entire Jiangnan Province.
The most important thing is that they don't have many troops now, so they must fight fast and slow, minimize losses as much as possible, and expand the results of the battle.
"Master Banner Commander, the 3,000th team of the Fifth Banner Battalion has assembled!"
When Han Feng dispatched troops to the temporary banner headquarters on the south bank, a thousand generals strode into the temporary banner headquarters.
"You came at a good time. You followed the guards directly under the flag regiment and went to Baiyang County. You must take Baiyang County before dark. Can you do it?"
The head of the banner group walked up to the thousand-man general who was standing straight like a javelin, and asked loudly.
"Don't worry, Master Banner, the 3,000th Team of the Fifth Banner Battalion promises to complete the mission!"
"Okay, let's go!"
After standing up and paying a military salute, the thousand-man general strode away from the temporary banner headquarters.
"Listen to my order, target Baiyang County, run forward!"
Soon, the roar of a thousand generals resounded on the street outside the temporary banner headquarters.
A thousand-man team that had just crossed the river assembled without taking a break, and immediately marched towards Baiyang County under the leadership of the thousand-man general.
The two banner regiments commanded by Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army, raided and occupied Xilang Port in the Jiangnan Province, and entered the territory of the Jiangnan Province.
The Qinghe Army hasThe troops crossing the river moved quickly and seized three surrounding counties in just one day.
"What, the bandit army has crossed the river?"
The admiral of Qingpu Mansion, who was closest to Xilang Port, was also shocked when he learned that the Qinghe Army had invaded Jiangnan Province.
"My lord, the bandit army is attacking fiercely. Now Baiyang County and Wanzhou County have fallen into the hands of the bandit army."
A local squire who reported the letter was also sweating profusely. He arrived on a fast horse.
Although the Jiangnan Province is rich in food, etc., there is a shortage of war horses. Even the Southern Army has no cavalry.
The squire saw the large Qinghe army sweeping over, so he hurried over on the horses kept by his family to report the news.
On the way to report the letter, I met several other messengers who reported on foot, and only then did I know that the situation was serious.
The admiral of the Qingpu Mansion did not expect that when he woke up, the Qinghe army would attack Jiangnan Province on a large scale.
The war came so fast that the admiral of Qingpu Mansion didn't even react.
"Admiral, the most urgent task now is to quickly send troops to recapture Xilang Port, otherwise the bandit army will continue to cross the river, Qingpu is in danger, and the Jiangnan province is in danger."
The No. 2 person in Qingpu Mansion, the inspector, had a vicious vision, and pointed out the crux of the problem to the point.
Now that the Qinghe Army has just invaded the territory of Jiangnan Province, as long as they take back Xilang Port, they will be able to block the Qinghe Army.
Otherwise, once a large number of Qinghe troops invaded Jiangnan Province, their Qingpu Mansion can be said to be the first to bear the brunt.
"Okay, quickly assemble the garrison battalion and go to Xilang Port!" The panicked admiral hurriedly said.
The inspector said: "Master Admiral, relying on our garrison battalion alone is absolutely no match for the bandit army. We must invite the southern army to go out."
"I'm going to the barracks right now, and ask the Southern Army to dispatch."
Qingpu Mansion and Jiangbei Province are only separated by a river, and the Southern Army is also on guard against the Qinghe Army going south.
Therefore, in addition to the more than 10,000 Southern Army troops stationed on the front line of Xilang Port, there are also more than 10,000 Southern Army troops stationed in Qingpu Prefecture.
The Southern Army General who was in charge of commanding the more than 10,000 Southern Army troops was also full of disbelief after receiving the enemy situation report from the Admiral of Qingpu Mansion.
"Dongjiang Tianzhu, did the bandits fly over?"
"Besides, we have nearly 10,000 troops stationed in Xilang Port and Wanzhou City. How can we reach the bandit army for half a month? I think you must have made a mistake somewhere. You will lose your head if you lie about the military situation."
The participating generals of the Southern Army did not believe the information provided by the admiral of Qingpu Mansion at all, but thought it might be a bandit running around.
After the admiral of Qingpu Mansion heard what the Southern Army general said, he also became skeptical about the information.
Because it was just the one-sided words of the squire, what if he misunderstood it, after all, he did not get the order from above to mobilize troops privately, but it was a taboo thing.
"Send someone to Xilang Port to ask whether it is the rogues or the Qinghe bandits."
Although the general of the southern army had doubts about the intelligence, he still decided to send scouts to inquire.
?Because of insufficient information, the admiral of Qingpu Mansion could not ask the southern army to join the generals and transfer troops without authorization, so he could only go back temporarily, and asked the garrison battalion not to move for the time being, until the situation was clarified.
