"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 596
The southern army and navy approached Xilang Town, which shrouded this little-known town in the south of the Yangtze River in the cloud of war, and the air was filled with a chill.
Because of the existence of Xilang Port, Xilang Town is also a material transfer base for water transportation, and its scale is much larger than that of ordinary towns.
There are three streets in Xilang Town, and there are many warehouses for storing goods around it.
The battle was imminent, and all the fishermen living in the town had been evacuated by the Qinghe army to the nearest Wanzhou county to take refuge.
Now, apart from the soldiers of the Qinghe Army, there are no local people in the town anymore.
"My lord, the first, second, and third hundred teams are responsible for guarding the front."
"The 4th, 5th, and 600th troops are in charge of the flanks, and the rest of the troops are in reserve."
? Although General Qian of the Defenders is the highest military officer, he has never led troops in battle alone, so he relies on the former banner battalion commander Yue Shan who has been dismissed.
"The layout is good. Tell the brothers that the enemy army is good at water warfare, but not as good as us on land, so don't panic. As long as we can persist for three to five days, reinforcements will arrive."
Yue Shan saw the stern-faced General of the Thousand Guards, and comforted him, telling him and his brothers not to be nervous.
"My lord, the brothers have just won a battle, and the morale is very high now."
The thousands of defenders showed an awkward smile on their tense faces. In order to hide his inner tension, he pointed to the soldiers who were preparing for the battle in an orderly manner.
Yue Shan led 1,500 Qinghe Army soldiers to ambush in the reed marshes and dealt a head-on blow to the forward troops of the Southern Army Navy.
In addition to testing the opponent's strength, Yue Shan also wanted to win a battle and boost morale.
Fortunately, they defeated each other with ease. Although the enemy's soldiers are overwhelming, most of the soldiers can remain calm and do not panic.
"My lord, the enemy is coming!"
While Yue Shan and the others were talking, a soldier from the Qinghe Army hurried over and pointed out of the town.
"Go, go and have a look."
Yue Shan and the others stopped talking, and strode straight towards the town wall.
They climbed up the town wall along the bamboo ladder, and saw that the flags were billowing amidst the smoke, and a large number of soldiers from the Southern Army and Navy were pressing over aggressively.
"Ready to fight!"
Thousands of defenders turned their heads and drank coldly. A large number of soldiers of the Qinghe Army who were resting behind the town wall climbed up the town wall one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
General Ye Chun of the Southern Army Navy led more than 4,000 sailors to the front of Xilang Town aggressively. The team was full of fields and ditches, but the momentum was astonishing.
Seeing the soldiers of the Qinghe army standing on the town wall, Ye Chun, the general of the navy, was full of anger.
They suffered a secret loss at the hands of the Qinghe Army just now, and now he wants to get back on the field, otherwise once the news spreads, his colleagues may laugh their ass off.
"Attack, none of the bandits in Xilang Town will be left behind!"
The general of the navy, Ye Chun, quickly withdrew his gaze and gave the order viciously.
When the horn sounded, thousands of sailors roared as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and rushed towards Xilang Town with their swords in their hands.
The sailors of the Southern Army walked like flying. They stared at the defenders of the Qinghe Army in Xilang Town, like hungry wolves with green lights, and wanted to tear them up and eat them.
"The bow and arrow are ready!"
Seeing the soldiers of the Southern Army and Navy sailing forward, the thousands of defenders looked serious.
More than two hundred soldiers of the Qinghe Army with hard bows bent their bows and set their arrows one after another, and the black and sharp spikes hit the bowstrings.
"put!"
"Buzz!"
Amidst the trembling of the bowstring, the arrow whizzed out with the breath of death.
"Puff puff!"
The powerful arrows pierced through the galloping soldiers of the Southern Army and Navy. They felt as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer. Some of them flew back backwards and fell heavily into the mud pit, splashing mud and water everywhere.
"dash forward!"
Seeing the companions around them being shot to death by arrows on the spot, some soldiers of the Southern Army and Navy hesitated, but the roar of the officer soon sounded in their ears.
Their attack speed stagnated for a while, and then they sped up and rushed towards Xilang Town.
Although there are not many archers in the Qinghe Army, there are thousands of defenders.?Soon ordered them to shoot freely.
One after another, powerful arrows raged in the charge of the Southern Army Navy, and people kept screaming and falling down.
?Since its establishment, the Southern Army Navy has never fought a tough or vicious battle except for bandits.
Facing the accurate and terrifying arrows of the Qinghe Army, they fell down more than a hundred people before they reached the town wall of Xilang Town.
More than a hundred people are not many for the thousands of Southern Army and Navy troops, but their morale has been seriously frustrated.
The soldiers of the Southern Army and Water Army did not expect the arrows of the Qinghe Army to be so powerful. When all the companions around them died, many of them couldn't help but retreat.
On the battlefield, the effect caused by a person stepping back can expand rapidly.
Because some soldiers of the Southern Army rushed forward and found that there was no one on both sides. When they turned their heads, many of them turned around and ran back.
Hearing the arrows whistling in their ears, they were naturally not fools, so they turned around and ran back cursing.
The first wave of attack by the Southern Army's water army ended in failure. Under the less dense arrows of the Qinghe Army, they retreated without a fight.
"Who told you to back down!"
Seeing that the attacking troops retreated before reaching the town wall, the navy general Ye Chun was also furious.
"General, the bandit army's arrows are too powerful."
"Brothers have lost a lot."
Facing the curse of the navy general Ye Chun, the soldiers of the Southern Army navy were also full of grievances.
What they are good at is relying on ships to fight. Now they are rashly asked to fight tough battles. They are not familiar with it, and the roaring arrows make them feel that they have been wandering in the gate of hell. Their psychological quality is too poor to bear it. .
The Southern Army Navy and the Southern Army Army are the same, they are stationed in the rich southern region all the year round.
They have not fought wars all year round and have lived a good life. Now they are suddenly faced with death, and it is difficult for them to adapt in a short time.
Although Navy General Ye Chun cursed again and again, he also knew the situation of the troops, and he had no choice but to swear at the officer in charge.
Because the senior officers of the navy are either his confidantes or relatives stuffed in by his seven aunts and eight aunts, he can't kill people to build his prestige.
The general of the navy, Ye Chun, reorganized the team, made promises from officials, and offered heavy rewards, which restored morale a lot.
Amidst the rumbling drums, the Southern Army and Navy troops who suffered a loss immediately launched a second wave of attack on Xilang Town.
This time, they learned to be smart. The soldiers with shields walked in front, and their archers followed.
At the same time, Ye Chun also sent his personal guards to supervise the team, and if he retreated without order, he would be killed without mercy.
Facing the battle supervisors with their swords blazing behind them, although the navy soldiers were extremely reluctant, they still bit the bullet and attacked Xilang Town. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
