    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 604

    The southern army and navy troops commanded by Ye Chun are arrogant and domineering, and they don't take anyone seriously.

    Their navy fleet went down the river, trying to seize Xilang Port, cut off the Qinghe Army's retreat, and seize the first victory in annihilating the enemy.

    However, who knew that instead of winning the first victory in annihilating the enemy, they hit a head that was broken and bloody, and their vitality was seriously injured.

    The Qinghe Army currently stationed at Xilang Port was ordered to abandon this place, and the Southern Army Navy was able to successfully occupy Xilang Town and Wanzhou County, completing the original combat goal.

    However, because of their heavy losses in the days of fierce battles and low morale, they were unable to launch further pursuit operations against the Qinghe Army.

    "Block the river, I want the thieves to never come back!"

    Ye Chun, the navy general of the Southern Army who occupied Wanzhou County, was still furious and ordered the navy fleet to block the Dongjiang River.

    They have just arrived at a group of naval reinforcements to Xilang Port, so they are fully capable of blocking the Dongjiang River.

    "Tell my brothers, cheer me up, if a bandit escapes across the river, I want his head!"

    This time Ye Chun made a disgraced face in the hands of the Qinghe Army, so he can be said to have extreme hatred for the Qinghe Army.

    In addition to ordering the navy fleet to block the river, he also emphasized it again to prevent someone from being careless and letting the Qinghe army go.

    Following the order of the angry navy general Ye Chun, the Southern Army navy fleet moved quickly.

    With Xilang Port as the center, they blocked the Dongjiang River for more than 100 miles to prevent the connection between the Jiangbei Province and the Jiangnan Province.

    Hundreds of fast boats from the Southern Army Navy Fleet patrolled the river, while a large number of ships were ready to support everywhere at any time.

    The Southern Army Navy is the only navy force in the Far East Dynasty that has been formed. Although they cannot go to sea, they are invincible in the lake on the river.

    Ye Chun's naval fleet occupied Xilang Port, burned down the pontoon bridge leading to Jiangbei Province, and blocked the river at the same time, which can be said to directly cut off the Qinghe Army's retreat.

    "This old guy, his eyes are usually in the sky, and no one can look down on him. This time, he must have capsized in the gutter, hahaha."

    In the command headquarters of the Third Corps of the Southern Army, Li Hong, the general of the Southern Army, learned that Ye Chun, the general of the water army, had lost his troops at the hands of the Qinghe Army.

    Instead of being sad because of the loss of his allies, he was so happy that he couldn't help laughing.

    "The naval fleet has always liked to eat more and occupy more, and even laughed at the soil turtles. This time they hit each other badly, and they deserve it!"

    The generals of the Third Corps of the Southern Army also had smiles all over their faces, and took the opportunity to laugh at the navy fleet.

    The navy fleet has a high shipbuilding price, high military pay, and is also arrogant and domineering on weekdays. The army has long been dissatisfied with them.

    Moreover, because of the relationship between military pay and money and food, the two sides have already forged countless beams.

    Seeing that Ye Chun's naval fleet was deflated, the Southern Army's Third Corps not only did not have the slightest sympathy, but gloated at it.

    If Ye Chun, the general of the Navy, knew how happy the Third Corps of the Southern Army was at the moment, he would probably vomit blood in anger.

    "They wanted to seize the first victory and kicked to the iron plate, but this also sounded a wake-up call for us, that is, the bandit army is much stronger than we imagined."

    While laughing at the defeat of the navy fleet, General Li Hong also increased his emphasis on the Qinghe Army.

    He previously thought that the Qinghe army was nothing more than a group of mobs. They fled to the Jiangnan province, and they also took advantage of the weakness of the Jiangnan province to enter.

    But now judging from the battle reports sent back from the front, the Qinghe army was able to occupy the Jiangbei province in a short period of time, and then invaded the Jiangnan province, so it was not a weak enemy.

    "General, why do you want others to destroy your prestige? I don't think that bandit army is much stronger."

    Facing General Li Hong's reminder, some generals of the Third Corps of the Southern Army did not take it seriously.

    "The navy fleet was defeated by the bandits because they were too useless."

    "The bandit army didn't meet us, but we have an army of 50,000. Even if one person spits, he can drown the bandit army¡ª"

    "Hahahaha, that's right, it's just a mob of thieves."

    Seeing these indifferent generals, General Li Hong couldn't help but put on a straight face.

      "I can warn you, if you don't listen to the advice, if anyone loses the battle at the hands of the bandit army and loses the face of our Third Corps, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

    General Li Hong said coldly after looking around the smiling crowd with his majestic eyes.

    "Follow the teachings of the general!"

    Seeing that Li Hong was serious, the generals of the Third Corps all restrained their smiles and responded in unison.

    Just now he also said that Yanyan's military tent suddenly cooled down because of Li Hong's sudden face change.

    "Has the strength of the bandit army been checked?"

    Seeing that the atmosphere in the military tent of the command headquarters suddenly became a little cold, General Li Hong couldn't help shaking his head, breaking the silence in the military tent.

    "Reporting to the general, the strength of the bandit army has been investigated clearly. They are about 30,000 to 40,000 people, including quite a few cavalry."

    "Where is the main force of the bandit army now?"

    "The main force of the bandit army is now entrenched in Xitian Mansion, and has not moved for several days." A general in charge of intelligence said, pointing to the map.

    "Hmph, the bandit army has a good plan. They want to take the food of Xitian Mansion as their own, and they are not afraid of killing them." General Li Hong couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

    In Xitian Mansion, there is Xitian City, one of the four major granaries in Jiangnan Province, which stores an astonishing amount of grain.

    Now that the Qinghe army has occupied Xitian Mansion, the purpose is self-evident, that is to prepare to swallow the food.

    General Li Hong naturally knew the importance of these grains. Once the Qinghe army had these grains, it would be a breeze to recruit troops to expand the army.

    So they must take back Xitian Mansion and Xitian Cang, because food is too important.

    "Have the militia troops been contacted?"

    General Li Hong is now not only the highest officer of the reinforcements, but also General Zhennan has authorized him to be fully responsible for clearing the Qinghe Army in Jiangnan province.

    Therefore, in addition to the Third Corps of the Southern Army that can be mobilized under his command, he can also control the rest of the troops in Jiangnan Province.

    Those provincial guards and local guards were too weak to be directly ignored by him.

    Now General Li Hong feels that only some units of the civilian army can help them.

    After all, these units of the civilian army were formed by the private soldiers of the rich and powerful families in the Jiangnan Province. They are well-trained, well-equipped, and not weak in combat effectiveness.

    "General, we have already contacted the Eighth Battalion of the Wang Family, the Ninth Battalion of the Wu Family, the Fifteenth Battalion of the Feng Family, and the Seventeenth Battalion of the Chu Family."

    "They have already assembled, and they can come to meet up only after the general gives an order."

    "Where are the Liu family's battalions?"

    After hearing the report from his generals, General Li Hong couldn't help frowning.

    After all, the Liu family in Jiangnan Province, which is as wealthy as an enemy, has the most militia troops, with five battalions and more than 20,000 people.

    "Report to the general, the Liu family has defected to the bandit army." A general said angrily.

    "The gossip said that the fall of Xitian Mansion was the way the Liu family led the bandit army." Another general added.

    "What a Liu family, they are not afraid of death!"

    Hearing that the powerful Liu family had defected to the Qinghe Army, Li Hong was astonished and angry at the same time.

    "After I destroy the bandit army, I will go to them to settle accounts!"

    Although Li Hong really wanted to eradicate these traitors now, he also knew that the top priority was to eliminate the Qinghe Army and stabilize the situation in Jiangnan Province.

    So after he cursed a few times and vented his anger, he had to put this matter on hold.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
