"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 599
"General, our navy is good at fighting on board. Attacking tough battles is not our forte. We use their weaknesses to attack their strengths."
The soldiers of the Southern Army Navy were all selected with good water skills. Now they are asked to attack Xilang Town. Some people attribute the failure to the fact that they are not good at tough battles.
"Then what do you think it should be?"
After getting angry, Ye Chun, the general of the navy, gradually calmed down and asked everyone to think about countermeasures.
"General Li has already led his army into the Jiangnan Province. Indeed, it is better to let him send an army to help us eliminate the bandit army in Xilang Town." An officer expressed his opinion.
"Don't you feel ashamed enough?"
As soon as the officer finished speaking, the other officer couldn't help but glared at him fiercely.
Their navy also said that they belonged to the southern army's battle order, but they had some conflicts with the army.
Now that their navy troops suffered a defeat in Xilang Town, if they asked the army troops for help, they would not be ashamed, and they might be ridiculed.
"Don't mention this matter again, it's not time for our navy to ask for help!" Ye Chun also expressed his attitude.
"But the thieves are brave"
"Now this battle is not only about whether we can cut off the retreat of the bandit army, but also about the reputation of our navy!"
"So even if my navy brothers are gone, we can't be underestimated!"
Ye Chun's original intention was to sneak attack on Xilang Port, cut off the Qinghe Army's retreat, and make military exploits.
However, the Qinghe army on the side of Xilang Port is so powerful that they suffered a disadvantage.
Now it is not just a matter of whether the Qinghe army can be eliminated and occupied here, but a major matter related to the survival and honor of their navy.
It can be said that they have no way out now, and can only fight to the death with the Qinghe army.
Once they retreat here after losing the battle, not only will they have no way to explain to General Zhennan, but they will also have no face to face the ridicule of the friendly army.
Moreover, the salary of the navy is higher than that of the soldiers of the army, and the maintenance cost of the ships is also high.
Once they don't show enough combat effectiveness, maybe General Zhennan will revoke their organizational system in the future, which is not what they want to see.
They thought it was a battle with a certain chance of winning, but now they pushed their navy to the point of life and death. It can be said that they did not expect it before the battle.
"Send the order down, quickly adjust the brothers in Hanchenggang for reinforcements!"
Although the southern army and navy troops still have an advantage, the strength of the Qinghe army makes them feel very difficult.
In order to conquer Xilang Town as soon as possible and save face, the navy general Ye Chun also went all out and decided to call in reinforcements.
The home port of their naval fleet is in Hancheng Port, the mouth of the Jiangnan Province, where they have four naval battalions with more than 10,000 people.
Although the soldiers of their water army are not good at land combat, but now they can't save their face to ask for the army's troops.
So now they can only rely on their strength to crush the Qinghe Army defenders in Xilang Town.
"Every battalion should rest well tonight and attack again tomorrow."
"Twice the number of guard posts at night to prevent sneak attacks by thieves."
The losses during the day were relatively large, which led to low morale of the troops, so Ye Chun had no plans to attack overnight.
Following Ye Chun's order, except for some patrolling fast boats, most of the ships left Xilang Port overnight, and went to the home port of their naval fleet to mobilize reinforcements.
Ye Chun, on the other hand, led the navy troops to station in Xilang Port, preparing to recharge their batteries and prepare for the next day's attack.
Of course, they have also seen the strength of the Qinghe Army, and now they have increased their attention to the Qinghe Army.
Therefore, the number of guard posts of the Southern Army and the Navy has increased, and the level of alert has been increased to prevent the sneak attack of the Qinghe Army.
After receiving Yue Shan's suggestion, the Thousand Generals of the Qinghe Army Defenders did not send a large force to sneak attack the Southern Army Navy that was close at hand.
The Qinghe Army only sent a centurion. Under the cover of night, they tried to get close to the water army camp in Xilang Port and harassed them.
"Phew!"
But before the Qinghe army's centurion approached Xilang Port, a loud arrow shot into the sky not far away from the darkness.
Under the quiet night sky, warning arrows tear through the airThe sound was so piercing that the drowsy sentries of the navy vigil were shocked and lost all sleepiness.
"Clang clang clang¡ª¡ª"
"The bandit army is attacking!"
"The bandit army is attacking!"
The sentry post of the navy rang the warning gong, and at the same time, the patrol team also moved quickly to prepare for the battle.
Many sailor soldiers who were sleeping on the boat also got up in a hurry, holding their weapons and preparing to fight.
Xilang Port suddenly became lively because of a loud arrow, countless torches were lit up, and groups of soldiers were assembled in an emergency to prepare for the battle.
"My lord, what should I do now?"
Through the light of the torches, you can see that there are soldiers of the Southern Army and Navy with weapons everywhere in Xilang Port.
Although their mission is to harass, they still want to get closer and kill a few heads before returning.
Who knew that they would startle the other party before they got close, making them curse bad luck secretly.
"Hundred generals, these two guys fired the arrow."
A few capable Qinghe army scouts emerged from the darkness, carrying two bloody heads in their hands.
The two secret sentries of the southern army and navy wanted to retreat after firing their arrows, but they were chased and beheaded by scouts from the Qinghe army.
"They are coming, let's withdraw."
The hundred generals saw a large number of Southern Army and Navy soldiers approaching them with torches, and ordered to retreat.
Their centurion had a small number of people, and they withdrew as soon as they said they wanted to. They all got into the darkness one after another, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, the menacing Southern Army navy surrounded the place, but apart from two headless corpses, none of the soldiers of the Qinghe Army saw it.
"General, we found out that the thief army wanted to sneak attack. We killed two brothers, and the thief army retreated."
It was pitch black all around, and the southern army and navy did not dare to pursue them, so they quickly turned back to the Xilang Port Wharf.
"It's really ruthless, pass on the order and be vigilant."
Ye Chun is now also secretly thankful for his wise decision to increase the guard post, otherwise, he might have been attacked by surprise.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and the Qinghe army was discovered by them before they approached, forcing the Qinghe army to retreat.
"Go and rest, I guess the bandit army won't come again."
Ye Chun was also exhausted during the day, and now that he heard that the Qinghe army had retreated, he waved his hand to tell his officers to go to rest earlier.
But not long after Ye Chun fell asleep, there was a din of gongs and drums outside.
"what happened?!"
Ye Chun also sat up from the bed in a jerk, and immediately shouted outside.
"General, the thieves are attacking again!"
Soon, a guard soldier carrying a lantern approached Ye Chun's room to report.
Ye Chun walked out of the room with a dark face and draped clothes. He couldn't see the burning tent not far away, reflecting the surrounding redness, and a large number of navy soldiers were chasing him.
Soon, the officer in charge of the night watch led the team back. They were in ambush in fear and did not dare to chase too far.
"The thieves killed our secret sentry, broke into the camp of the third battalion, burned more than a dozen tents, and we lost more than 20 people in the battle." The night watch officer reported angrily.
They thought that after the Qinghe army retreated, they would never come again, but who knew that they would come again, and they even killed their secret sentries and got under their noses.
"The thieves are too cunning, they just don't play their cards according to common sense!" An officer also echoed angrily.
"Order the brothers not to sleep, put out the torches and lay in ambush, as long as they come again, they will be wiped out."
Ye Chun is also not sure about the Qinghe army's fighting method now, seeing that they have attacked twice, so he feels that setting up an ambush, as long as the Qinghe army dares to come again, it is guaranteed that they will never come back.
The soldiers of the Southern Army and Navy did not sleep this time. They stayed in the tents of the camp one by one, and the soldiers on the boats were also ready to fight at any time.
