"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 598
As night fell, Xilang Town, which was in ruins after the battle, was lit with pine torches.
The flames reflected the bloody and sweaty faces of the soldiers of the Qinghe Army. They looked very tired.
The southern army and navy troops were arrogant and arrogant, and continuously launched fierce attacks on Xilang Town, which was guarded by the Qinghe Army.
? The Qinghe army guards in Xilang Town fought back under the command of the general of thousands of defenders and Yue Shan, the chief transport officer, and repelled several attacks by the southern army's water army.
On the blood-stained walls of Xilang Town, thousands of defenders of the Qinghe Army in their uniforms were staring at the corpses of Southern Army soldiers in the field outside, showing no joy in repelling the enemy's rear.
"The Southern Army has suffered such a big loss under our hands, it is estimated that they will not let it go."
Thousands of defenders turned their eyes to the brightly lit and noisy Xilang Port Wharf in the distance, with solemn expressions.
Although they repelled several attacks by the Southern Army, the strength of the Southern Army has an absolute advantage.
What they stationed here is just a small force, and now the main force of the Qinghe Army is several days away from them.
The general of the thousands of defenders was really uncertain, because he didn't know whether their small army could hold out for a few days, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
"Soldiers will block the water and cover it with earth. Our Qinghe army has fought so many vicious battles, and this time we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and win the final victory!"
Although they were under a lot of pressure, Yue Shan still looked calm and comforted General Qianren.
"My lord, if I die in battle, please take my brothers to continue fighting. This is my family letter. Please, my lord, bring it back for me when the time comes."
Qian Renjiang turned his head to look at Yue Shan, and took out a letter from his family, revealing a low mood.
"Don't be so pessimistic. You will definitely be able to go back to see your parents, wife and children in person. I believe you can keep it."
"Now you are their commander, you have to lead the brothers to win."
Will be courageous, especially in the current severe situation, if the commander loses confidence, the morale of the troops will also be affected.
"My lord, I have been taught."
Thousands of people will realize that this time is not the time for him to be in love with his children, but to shoulder his own responsibilities. He took a deep breath and put the written family letter back into his inner pocket.
There were footsteps coming from behind, and a hundred people strode to the town wall behind Yueshan and the others.
"Master Yue, the thousand generals have counted the casualties." The hundred generals raised their heads and said.
"How many casualties?"
Thousands of people put away their low emotions and asked loudly.
A hundred people will answer: "Two hundred and twenty-five brothers were killed, twenty-one were seriously injured, and more than seven hundred were slightly injured."
The southern army attacked several times. Although they inflicted great damage on the enemy at the beginning, as the southern army adapted to the rhythm of the battle, the Qinghe army also suffered a lot of losses.
"The seriously injured brother was transferred to Wanzhou City overnight to settle down." General Qianren ordered.
"No!"
"My lord, do we want to mess with them at night?"
Thousands of people will stare at the brightly lit Xilang Port Wharf in the distance and ask Yue Shan for advice.
The Qinghe Army has always been tactically flexible in combat, and its goal is to kill the enemy's vital forces and achieve final victory.
Under the instillation of this principle by Chen Zi'ang, officers at all levels of the Qinghe Army from top to bottom have also become flexible in commanding operations, rather than rigidly executing orders.
"We laid them in an ambush during the day, and let them encounter a bloody wound in front of the town. They have also seen the strength of our Qinghe army. Now they must have raised their vigilance against us. They have prepared themselves, and they will not be able to sneak attack again. easy."
"Brothers are also tired, why don't you let the brothers have a good night's rest." Yue Shan suggested.
Thousands of people will think that what Yue Shan said is reasonable, but he added: "Then I will send a harassing team over there, at least we can't let them have a good rest."
Yue Shan nodded: "Yes."
"My lord, you should go to bed earlier, and I'll arrange it right away." General Qian Ren said, and was about to assign tasks.
After Yue Shan paused, he ordered: "Let the brothers be more vigilant at night, double the number of guard posts, and tomorrowThe number of whistles, dark whistles, and swimming whistles has been increased. "
"Don't worry, my lord, I have already arranged it."
? When the Qinghe Army troops guarding Xilang Town were busy eating, resting, and replenishing their strength at night, Xilang Port was shrouded in a depressive atmosphere.
?The Southern Army and Navy troops were eager to attack Xilang Port and cut off the retreat of the Qinghe Army.
But who would have known that the Qinghe army stationed here had already taken precautions, which made them suffer a big loss.
Facing the long list of casualties in a house at the Xilang Port Wharf, Navy General Ye Chun's face was so gloomy that water could drip out.
They only worked in one day, and the number of soldiers killed in battle was as high as 1,200, and there were countless wounded.
You must know that their Southern Army Navy Fleet has never suffered such a large loss since its establishment.
In the past, they were the ones who chased and fought those water bandits, but now they suffered heavy losses at the hands of the mob they despised, the Qinghe Army.
As the general of the navy, Ye Chun suffered such a heavy loss, it was like slapping himself hard.
If news of their disastrous defeat spreads, it will not only make General Zhennan angry, but also make his colleagues and friends ridiculed.
"What a shame! What a shame!"
Navy general Ye Chun slammed the death list on the table, pointing at the generals who were sitting upright, furious.
"Tell me, tell me all of you, what kind of useless battle is this?!"
"Don't you all say that you are invincible in the world? Why can't you even defeat a small town of Xilang?!"
"Ye Hai, didn't you brag that one of your men could kill ten people? Why did you kill more than five hundred people today?"
Facing the loud questioning from the navy general Ye Chun, the generals also lowered their heads, not daring to answer.
What they usually deal with are those water bandits with only a dozen or so boats, so naturally they can beat them to death.
The Qinghe army is not a mob, but a well-trained army. They underestimated the enemy and were careless, resulting in heavy losses.
"General, it's not that the brothers are not working hard, but that the thief army is really too powerful" A general couldn't help but whispered, trying to excuse himself.
"It's not that the thief army is too powerful, it's that you are too useless!"
It's okay not to explain, but before the general finished speaking, the anger in Ye Chun's heart was bubbling out.
"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for one hour, you eat, drink and have fun on weekdays, I turn a blind eye to it, but now look at what bad battles you are fighting!"
"I feel ashamed for you!"
"Uncle, don't be angry, don't get angry." A young general said.
"Get out, get out of here!"
"Yes Yes."
Seeing the furious Ye Chun, the young general ran out of the house.
