"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 577
"Pass my military order to attack the southern army!"
The unexpected disruption of the Qinghe army made Yang Hao heave a long sigh of relief, but at the same time saw a rare opportunity for combat.
The southern army is now on fire in the backyard, and they have to send troops back to assist the Jiangnan province, and the strength of the front line has been greatly weakened.
They have been suppressed and beaten by the Southern Army, and now they finally have a chance to feel proud.
"Commander, why are you attacking now?"
Facing Yang Hao's offensive order, some generals had other ideas.
"Now that Chen Ziang's bandit army has invaded the Southern Army's lair, why don't we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to reap the benefits of the fisherman?" A general made a suggestion.
Yang Hao laughed and said: "What you said makes sense, but you should take a long-term view and consider the overall situation."
"Chen Zi'ang's bandit army has indeed invaded Jiangnan Province, but once the Southern Army returns on a large scale, with their strength, the Southern Army will soon be able to regain control of the situation."
"Once the southern army clears up Chen Zi'ang's bandit army and then turns around, we will be in trouble."
"We are attacking now, not to help Chen Ziang's bandits, but for our own sake."
"We are holding down the main force of the southern army now. They will have no way to destroy the bandit army who invaded the Jiangnan province in a short time. Once the bandit army has gained a firm foothold, the southern army will be unable to look after each other. For us, it has great benefits."
After hearing Yang Hao's analysis, his generals also admired him.
Now they are attacking and restraining the southern army. It seems to be helping the Qinghe army, but in fact it is to further weaken the southern army and weaken the strength of the prince's line.
Although both Chen Zi'ang and the Southern Army were their enemies, the Southern Army posed a greater threat to them than the Qinghe Army that had caused turmoil in the Jiangnan Province.
Therefore, Yang Hao was also able to temporarily put aside his hostility towards the Qinghe Army, and decided to work with the Qinghe Army to kill the powerful Southern Army.
As long as the southern army is wiped out, the prince's family will lose the food supply in the south, and the situation will change.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Yang Hao did not pay attention to Chen Ziang's Qinghe Army, because he felt that they were just a group of mobs.
Because he chased the main force of the Qinghe Army all the way south, if he hadn't wanted to support the bandits, he would have wiped out the main force of the Qinghe Army countless times.
Following Yang Hao's order, the dynasty army under Yang Hao attacked across the board and launched a large-scale attack on the Southern Army in Dongjiang Province.
Yang Hao's troops are all local powerful armed forces he has incorporated, as well as the militia and provincial guards in Yunshan Province.
Their unit has been fighting against the main force of the Qinghe Army and various rebel armies, so their combat effectiveness is also strong.
Although the Southern Army has nearly 300,000 people deployed in Dongjiang Province, they have been in peace for too long and their combat effectiveness is weak.
Now because of returning to aid the Jiangnan province, the strength of the southern army on the front line is not as good as before.
Facing the fierce attack of Yang Hao's troops, the defense line was torn apart several times, and more than a dozen towns fell.
"Fight back and teach them a good lesson!"
? Yang Hao's troops turned from defense to offense, and seized more than a dozen towns controlled by the Southern Army at once, and invaded the territory of Dongjiang Province, leaving the Southern Army's Great General Luo Mingyuan completely humiliated, and roared and ordered a counterattack.
All the way, the southern army troops were transferred to the front line and launched a counterattack against Yang Hao's troops.
Yang Hao is also the one who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses. Facing the counterattack of the southern army, instead of retreating, he launched a counterattack.
For a while, in the border area between Yunshan Province and Dongjiang Province, the defense lines of the two armies were intertwined, and they were inextricably fighting, falling into a state of anxiety.
Although Yang Hao's troops are not many, they have strong combat effectiveness, and the southern army has many soldiers and weak combat effectiveness.
Both sides can't help each other for a while, but Yang Hao's purpose is to contain the Southern Army and buy time for the Qinghe Army to sweep the Southern Army's rear, so he is willing to spend so much time.
However, although the Southern Army wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, they would deploy some troops back to the Jiangnan Province.
However, facing the containment of Yang Hao's troops, they did not dare to draw troops from the front line.
Because once too many troops are deployed, they will have no way to stabilize the line of defense.
The Qinghe army did not know that Yang Hao, under the command of the Fourth Prince, actually helped them contain the southern army and let them destroy the rear of the southern army as much as possible.
The southern provinces that were originally rich and fertile, because of Yang Hao's troops, the southern army and the Qinghe army attacked each other, and it was a mess for a while.
The Qinghe Army commanded by Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army, swept across most of the Jiangnan Province.
Because of their unexpected attack in the early stage, and the speed of their attack is too fast.
The Southern Army troops stationed in the Jiangnan Province were not ready to fight, so they took advantage of the successive battles and victories.
However, with the passage of time, the armies of all dynasties in the Jiangnan province have reacted, so the Qinghe army's offensive pace has also become slower.
Although the Qinghe Army took the cavalry as the vanguard, they still made gains every day and captured some towns, but their casualties were gradually increasing.
Jiangnan Province was one of the richest provinces in the Far Eastern Dynasty, and it was also a major grain-producing and tax-paying area.
?In Jiangnan Province, the Far East Dynasty not only stationed troops from the South, but also countless wealthy nobles also had properties in Jiangnan Province.
These wealthy nobles also kept a lot of private soldiers, so the uprising that swept across the provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty was vigorous and vigorous in other provinces, but the scale in the Jiangnan province was very small.
Because there are not only many soldiers suppressing the southern army, but also countless rich and noble private soldiers.
Often times, before the rebel army captured a county, they would encounter several times the siege of the dynasty army and end in failure.
The Qinghe army has now invaded the territory of Jiangnan Province. They quickly captured some areas, but soon encountered trouble.
Naturally, those wealthy nobles would not want the Qinghe Army to control the Jiangnan Province. Now the garrison army of the dynasty, the provincial garrison and the southern army have suffered successive defeats, so they can't count on it.
So those wealthy nobles and the civilian army they formed fought resolutely with the Qinghe Army in order to defend their property.
These wealthy private soldiers and militia troops are backed by wealthy families with strong financial resources, and their equipment and training are even better than regular troops such as the Southern Army.
And in order to be able to resist the Qinghe army, the rich and nobles also spared no expense in rewarding them with money.
?The so-called brave men are bound to be rewarded with great rewards. The militia troops from all walks of life seemed to have been beaten to death. Instead of retreating, they fought to the death with the Qinghe army.
Although they were constantly eliminated by the Qinghe Army, the Qinghe Army's offensive pace was blocked, and the casualties were also increasing. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
