"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 601
Han Feng, the head of the Twelfth Banner, was from the Black Mountain Rebel Army. Although he now has a heavy army, he is not as good as Chen Ziang's direct descendant Zhou Ba and others.
So facing the olive branch thrown by the deputy army commander Yuan Jie, Han Feng also had the idea of ??hugging for warmth, and did not refuse.
Although Han Feng didn't have the idea of ??being obedient to Chen Ziang, he was also worried that he would be bullied in the future.
If it is a marriage with Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the army, then even if someone wants to move him, he will have to weigh it.
Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, and Han Feng, the head of the 12th Banner, each had their own ideas, and of course they both took precautions before they happened.
After all, as the stalls of the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army became larger and larger, various interests became more complicated.
There are many things that even if they don't fight or grab, someone will secretly spy on their status and power.
Therefore, in order not to be missed by others, first of all, they have to hug together to keep warm and strengthen their strength, so that others will not dare to act rashly.
Although Yuan Jie's step-sister has not yet married Han Feng, it will be a matter of time. Compared with the hierarchical relationship between superiors and subordinates in the past, the relationship between the two parties is now much closer.
"Report!"
"Urgent military situation!"
Yuan Jie and the others have nothing to do now, they gathered together to chat, and in the evening, a messenger arrived at Yancheng Mansion.
"what's going on?"
Seeing several vigilant cavalry surrounded by a travel-worn brother from the Qinghe army, Yuan Jie and Han Feng also stopped talking and stood up.
The exhausted courier dismounted and dismounted, ignoring the salute, and hurriedly said: "I would like to report to the deputy head of the army, Xilang Port has been attacked by the Southern Army Navy Fleet, and I ask for reinforcements!"
"Xilang Port was attacked?"
After hearing what the messenger said, Yuan Jie and Han Feng looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn.
They built a pontoon bridge on the river near Xilang Port, and it was through Xilang Port that a steady stream of money and food was transported back to Jiangbei Province.
Now Xilang Port is under attack, and their army stationed nearby is only two or three thousand people.
To make matters worse, there are tens of thousands of prisoners of war who assist in transporting money and food. If they fight back, Xilang Port will be in danger.
Xilang Port is where the Qinghe Army's southward troops retreated. Once the retreat was cut off, they would be blocked in the Jiangnan Province.
The sudden emergency military situation made it difficult for Yuan Jie, the deputy army commander, to digest for a while. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his brain spinning rapidly, and quickly analyzed a series of impacts brought about by the incident.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, do you want the brothers from the Thirteenth Banner Regiment to go for reinforcements?"
Han Feng is also well aware of the importance of Xilang Port to them, so Xilang Port cannot afford to lose, and immediately suggested that the 13th Cavalry Banner Regiment be sent for reinforcements.
"The army led by General Li Hong of the Southern Army has returned. If our cavalry is dispatched for reinforcements, our plan will be exposed."
Now their main force is concealed in the area of ??Yancheng Mansion, and the main force in disguise is Xitian Mansion to attract the enemy's attention.
?The original plan was that when the Southern Army's reinforcement troops went to attack Xitian Mansion, they would stab them from behind and cooperate with the Xitian Mansion's troops to pinch the returning Southern Army.
But now if cavalry troops are sent to assist Xilang Port, the cavalry troops will be exposed, and the southern army will be aware of their intentions.
At that time, in order to guard against the cavalry troops of the Qinghe Army, they will definitely not attack Xitian Mansion with all their strength.
"But there are only a few thousand of our defenders in Xilang Port. If we can't defend it, we will have no way out." Han Feng also had a worried expression on his face.
"The southern army really had a good plan, thinking that if we cut off our retreat, we would obediently catch them without a fight?!"
"Hmph, you underestimate our Qinghe army!"
Yuan Jie stopped pacing, and his gaze became sharp.
"Order to abandon Xilang Port."
Now they can't quench their thirst at a distance, instead of exposing the hidden cavalry to rescue, it is better to give up Xilang Port directly, Yuan Jie decided to cut off his wrists.
"ah?"
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, no, in this way, wouldn't we be the turtle in the urn?" Han Feng hurriedly dissuaded.
"Brother Han, don't worry."
"We gave up Xilang Port and seemed to be trapped in the Jiangnan Province.?Otherwise. "
"We have tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the 12th Banner Regiment and the 13th Banner Regiment, and there is plenty of money and food here. They can't trap us to death."
"As long as we deal with them flexibly, the final victory will belong to us." Yuan Jie patted Han Feng on the shoulder and said.
Although Han Feng felt that it was too risky to abandon Xilang Port, even if they went to the rescue now, it would not only expose the cavalry.
Moreover, once the tens of thousands of prisoners of war turn back, there will be tens of thousands of Southern Army troops over there, and the cavalry troops may not be able to support them alone.
The most important thing is that the cavalry troops of the Thirteenth Banner Regiment are still invincible in plain areas such as Xitian Prefecture and Yancheng Prefecture.
However, Qingpu Prefecture, where Xilang Port is located, has many water systems and countless bridges, which greatly restrict the activities of the cavalry.
Once the cavalry unit is besieged by the southern army and navy, it will be a trouble at that time.
Although he was extremely unwilling, Han Feng finally felt that the strong man Yuan Jie broke his wrist and gave up Xilang Port is the best way for them at present.
What they lost was only a retreat, but once they sent troops to rescue, it would affect the whole body, and all plans would be disrupted.
The order was issued quickly, and the messenger carried the order of Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, and headed towards Xilang Port at high speed.
When the messenger was still halfway, the battle in Xilang Town near Xilang Port was already heating up.
The Southern Army Navy is the only organized navy fleet on the Dongjiang River, so they have always been arrogant and do not take anyone seriously.
This time they suffered from the losses of the Qinghe army in Xilang Town, which caused them heavy losses.
Moreover, the Qinghe army did not stop at night, and sent troops to harass them day and night, making them unable to sleep well, so they were very angry.
So during the day, under the supervision of the navy general Ye Chun, the navy soldiers launched round after round of fierce attacks on Xilang Town.
"Resolutely suppress them!"
Facing the soldiers of the Southern Army and Navy who kept rushing upwards, the officers and soldiers of the Qinghe Army who were guarding did not show any weakness, and fought hard with them.
?The two sides fought fiercely around Xilang Town, from dawn to sunset, although the southern army and navy broke into the town several times, they were still expelled.
Many town walls were destroyed in the battle, and the Southern Army and Navy Navy tried to break through the Qinghe Army's defense line along the torn gap.
The officers and gendarmes of the Qinghe Army took the lead and filled the gap with their own flesh and blood.
At many gaps in the collapsed town walls, the corpses of both sides piled up like mountains, and they had to fight desperately on the piles of corpses.
Although the southern army and navy are numerous and powerful, they are facing the Qinghe army that has experienced the baptism of war.
Under the onslaught of the southern army and navy, although the Qinghe army was exhausted, every time the drums sounded, they seemed to be reinfused with strength, and they rushed up with blood-dripping swords. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
