    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 603

    The Southern Army navy reinforcements arrived at Xilang Port in a mighty ship, which greatly encouraged the navy general Ye Chun.

    "After eating and drinking enough, destroy the bandit army!"

    Seeing teams of energetic sailors gathering at the port, Ye Chun, the general of the navy, was sure of victory again.

    He felt that the defenders of the Qinghe Army in Xilang Town had reached the end of their strength, and as long as his elite troops launched another onslaught, they would be able to wipe out their opponents.

    While Ye Chun was elated because of the arrival of reinforcements, the Qinghe Army guarding Xilang Town was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

    They fought hard in Xilang Town for several days. Now that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, their reinforcements have disappeared.

    If they continue to defend here, they may be wiped out.

    However, they were not ordered to abandon this place. Not only did they cut off the retreat of the main force, but they were also suspected of retreating without authorization. No one could bear this responsibility.

    Now Yue Shan, who guards Xilang Town, is also in a dilemma. He can't fight, and he dare not retreat.

    "There are only more than 500 brothers who can still fight. If we continue to defend, our entire army will be wiped out."

    A hundred generals covered in scars looked at the hesitant Yue Shan, and expressed his worries.

    "If the whole army is wiped out, the whole army will be wiped out. I'm afraid of being scared, even if I die, I will pull a back!" Another hundred generals said murderously.

    "Even if we are all killed in battle, the general will take good care of our families. I have no worries, let's fight!" A deputy thousand general also expressed his opinion.

    "Xilang Town is too small, there is no room for manoeuvre. Let's retreat to Wanzhou City."

    Yue Shan, the former banner battalion commander who had been dismissed, caused the entire army to be wiped out in an ambush among more than 2,000 brothers because he underestimated the enemy.

    So he didn't want this army to fall into his hands again, so after thinking about it, he decided to retreat to the nearest Wanzhou City.

    "Our troops are so small, even if we retreat to Wanzhou City, we probably won't be able to defend them." The hundred generals said with a dejected face.

    Yue Shan clenched his fists tightly and said: "There are countless streets and buildings in Wanzhou City, we hide in them and fight with them!"

    After hearing Yue Shan's words, the tired officers' eyes lit up.

    Instead of fighting them in the ruins of Xilang Town, fighting them in the streets of Wanzhou City, it seems that they can last longer.

    "We all listen to you, my lord, you give the order!"

    Yue Shan has won their trust by fighting himself on the battlefield, so they also have a lot of trust and respect for the dismissed banner battalion commander.

    "Okay, I order, immediately evacuate to Wanzhou City with the wounded."

    After Yue Shan looked around at the officers, he gave the order to retreat after taking over the command.

    The Qinghe Army's movements were also exceptionally fast, because they knew very well that when the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they would rush forward again soon.

    They must dare to withdraw before the opponent's new round of attack, otherwise once they engage in battle, it will be difficult to escape.

    "Don't make any noise, just go quietly."

    Under the leadership of officers at all levels, the Qinghe Army quietly withdrew from Xilang Town with the wounded.

    After taking a rest and having a meal, the reinforcements of the Southern Army immediately rushed to Xilang Town again under Ye Chun's order.

    The black sailors of the Southern Army approached Xilang Town with shields and knives in high spirits. They were also terrified when they saw the corpses everywhere.

    ?Because the brutality of the battle was beyond their imagination, the corpses that fell to the ground were in all kinds of strange ways, and the new recruits couldn't help but gasp.

    The sailors of the Southern Army approached Xilang Town cautiously, but the town was as quiet as death.

    Except for the footsteps and heavy breathing of the sailors of the Southern Army, they didn't even see a soldier from the Qinghe Army.

    Not seeing the soldiers of the Qinghe Army made them even more tense. They were worried that the Qinghe Army would suddenly appear from somewhere.

    They turned into the town cautiously, but they saw nothing except ruined walls and corpses.

    "Be careful, the bandits are very cunning."

    An officer of the Southern Army Navy stared at the incomplete buildings deep in the town, telling the soldiers to be vigilant.

    Confederate sailorsFacing the enemy's search, they moved forward, but they searched the entire town without finding anything.

    "General, no living people were found in the town."

    The new recruits easily occupied the ruined town, and immediately reported to Ye Chun.

    "What, there are no bandits in the town?"

    Ye Chun couldn't believe it, just now they were fighting desperately with the Qinghe army in the town, why suddenly there was no one there.

    Ye Chun didn't believe it, and entered the town by stepping on the bloody water, but looking around, there was really no Qinghe army except for the mess everywhere.

    "General, it is estimated that the thieves were scared away when they saw our reinforcements arrive." A general analyzed.

    "Chase, even if you chase them to the ends of the earth, you must wipe them all out!"

    Ye Chun lost his troops here, and now he has sent new troops to prepare for revenge.

    However, the Qinghe army who had resisted fiercely just now slipped away, which made him feel like he was punching the air with his fist.

    Now Ye Chun was full of anger and had no place to vent, so he immediately gave the order to pursue.

    After several days of attacks by the Southern Army and Navy, they finally occupied the ruined Xilang Town.

    Although they occupied this place, they were not happy at all.

    Because the Qinghe army was not defeated by them, but retreated on its own initiative.

    Under Ye Chun's order, after the Southern Army and Navy troops occupied Xilang Town, they rushed towards Wanzhou City aggressively.

    Yue Shan led the remnants and retreated to Wanzhou City, and he knew that the Southern Army and Navy would definitely not let it go after suffering such a big loss, so he was also preparing to fight them desperately in Wanzhou City.

    But who would have thought that on the way to retreat to Wanzhou City, they would encounter the messenger sent by the deputy army commander.

    "The deputy head of the army said that no reinforcements have been sent for the time being, and asked you to give up here."

    When Yue Shan heard what the messenger said, he couldn't believe his ears.

    "Once this side gives up, the army will have no way out."

    Yue Shan knew the importance of Xilang Port and Wanzhou City, because it was from here that the Qinghe Army entered the Jiangnan Province.

    This can be regarded as their retreat, but now Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, actually asked them to give up.

    They fought bloody battles in Xilang Town for several days and lost so many brothers, and now they were asked to give up, which was hard for him to accept for a while.

    "The deputy head of the army has his own considerations, let's execute the order."

    Seeing Yue Shan and the others who didn't understand, the messenger was quite helpless, but he ran over to convey the order without stopping.

    Facing the onslaught of the southern army and navy, he felt that Yue Shan and the others might have already been wiped out.

    But what I didn't expect was that Yue Shan and the others inflicted heavy damage on the southern army and navy, and withdrew safely.

    Although Yue Shan didn't understand it very much, it was the order of the deputy army commander after all, and the document was also stamped with a bright red seal, so it couldn't be faked.

    "Please tell the deputy commander, we will carry out the order."

    Although Yue Shan and the others were in great pain, they finally accepted the order.

    "Remember this vengeance first, and you will definitely avenge the brothers who died in battle in the future!" Yue Shan said viciously.

    ?Because no reinforcements came over, relying on them, these remnant soldiers and defeated generals were not opponents of the southern army and navy at all, so they could only keep this grudge.

    When Yue Shan and the others retreated and passed Wanzhou City, they directly set fire to important places such as the county government office and warehouses.

    When the troops led by the navy general Ye Chun caught up aggressively, many important buildings in Wanzhou City were already in flames.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
