"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 623
"General, it's not good, a large number of bandits are coming up from the rear!"
An officer that Li Hong sent out to investigate the situation soon rode back with a panicked expression, and shouted at the top of his voice from a long distance away.
"What, Bandit Army?!"
Hearing that a large number of Qinghe Army troops appeared behind him, Li Hong was also taken aback, his face full of bewilderment.
The Qinghe army that crossed the south of the Yangtze River is all in Xitian Mansion, why did the Qinghe army appear behind them?
"General, brothers can't stop it!"
Before Li Hong could figure out the situation, another officer, covered in blood, galloped over on his horse.
This officer is a battalion general, and his troops are deployed at the rear of the camp as guards.
The reason why the troops of their battalion were placed at the back as a security force was because they were understaffed and their combat effectiveness was weak.
They watched the various meritorious troops in front of them smashed their heads and blood under the city of Xitianfu, and they were glad they didn't go up.
But when the day's battle was over and they were cooking with a relaxed expression, a large number of Qinghe troops suddenly rushed forward.
Even before their teams were assembled, the Qinghe army had already entered the camp ferociously.
This battalion general was also under the desperate protection of more than a dozen confidant guards, so he was able to escape and report to General Li Hong.
"What are you eating? The thieves didn't find it right under their noses!"
Seeing this battalion general covered in blood, Li Hong was furious when he heard the shouts of killing in the distance.
He put a security force behind just in case of accidents, and there are so many scouts scattered around.
Now that the Qinghe army had come to the front, they realized that the team was so slack, Li Hong was naturally angry.
"You are negligent, I will kill you!"
The angry Li Hong pulled out the saber from his waist angrily, and was about to strike at the officer as he spoke.
"General calm down, calm down."
Several generals around hurriedly stopped the angry Li Hong.
After all, this battalion general was from a big family in the Jiangnan Province. They drank and had fun together on weekdays. If Li Hong was allowed to kill him, if they didn't stop him, it would be difficult to explain to their family.
"The thieves have always been cunning, so we can't blame them all."
"That's right, the scout was also deceived."
"General, our top priority is to repel the bandits."
The generals tried to persuade Li Hong, which made Li Hong realize that now is not the time to pursue responsibility.
"The fifth and sixth battalions hurry up and repel the bandits!"
After Li Hong calmed down, he immediately ordered the two battalions serving as reserve troops to stop the Qinghe army.
The Southern Army of these two battalions is the elite of the Third Corps. Compared with other troops that are empty-paid and have insufficient soldiers, they are surprisingly full.
It's just that they have also participated in the siege battles in the past few days, and now there are less than 5,000 people left in the two battalions combined.
They did not participate in the battle today and stayed in the camp to rest. Compared with the tired soldiers who had just withdrawn from the battlefield, they could stop the Qinghe army.
After the two battalion generals responded, they immediately turned back to the camp to gather their troops.
After they assembled their soldiers and horses and drove out of the camp, the attacking troops led by Han Feng, the commander of the 12th Banner of the Qinghe Army, had defeated the security troops of the Southern Army and reached the outskirts of their camp.
"Brothers, kill the thief!"
Seeing the Qinghe Army rushing towards them like a tide in the twilight, the battalion generals of the Southern Army raised their swords high and shouted loudly.
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
As if to cheer themselves up, more than 5,000 Southern Army soldiers also burst into shouts, and immediately greeted the troops of the Twelfth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army.
The Qinghe Army, which had just defeated the security forces of the Southern Army, was as imposing as a rainbow. They were covered in blood, and they rushed into the sky like a real murderous aura.
These two battalions of the Southern Army also fought bloody battles under the city of Xitian Prefecture for several days. They have faded from their greenness, and they can be regarded as tempered on the battlefield.
Soldiers of the two armies crossed the field, jumped over the ditch, and soon slammed into each other in a large field.
"Boom!"
In the deep twilightIn the midst of the scene, the two armies collided on their backs, and countless stumps and broken arms flew high.
"Kill!"
? The brave Qinghe army has been recharging their batteries for many days. They are like fierce tigers, and every time they swing their knives, they will bring a rain of blood.
The soldiers of the Southern Army also did not show any weakness. They waved their sabers fiercely, the sound of clicking continued, the shield shattered, and blood flew.
Screams and roars intertwined in the field, and people kept falling down in the muddy field.
The soldiers at the back screamed and stepped on the corpse and rushed towards their opponents, and soon rolled on the ground screaming in pain.
The two sides collided violently, many people rushed into the opponent's team, and immediately fell into a big melee.
A steady stream of Qinghe troops entered the battlefield, and the soldiers of the southern army who were in charge of blocking the attack kept screaming and falling down in the face of the siege of the Qinghe army.
"The first battalion also goes up!"
Seeing that the troops of his two battalions could not stop the Qinghe Army's attacking pace, Li Hong, the general of the Southern Army, also had a dignified expression.
Soon, a southern army with torn and bloody uniforms shouted and entered the battlefield from the flank, trying to attack the Qinghe army's flank.
Han Feng, head of the Twelfth Banner of the Qinghe Army, had been paying attention to the battlefield, and immediately dispatched two thousand-man teams to stop it.
The two armies fought in a village next to the main battlefield, further spreading the scale of the battlefield.
"Our reinforcements have arrived!"
When the soldiers of the Southern Army fought against the Qinghe Army outside the city, the inside of Xitian Prefecture also noticed the situation.
Standing at the top of the city of Xitian Mansion where the corpses piled up like a mountain, they could overlook the surrounding situation. Although the twilight was deep, they could still tell that an army was storming towards the Southern Army camp.
"Master Vice-Banner Captain, our cavalry has also dispatched!"
When Tian Changjie, the deputy head of the banner, set up a pergola and tried to see clearly the battle situation in the distance, the cavalry stationed outside the city also rumbled out of the camp.
"It seems that the deputy army commander and the others have arrived."
Tian Changjie reckoned that the time was about the same as their original plan, but now they had lost contact with the outside of the city, so they had to be more cautious just now.
Since all the cavalry stationed outside the city have been dispatched, there must be no doubt that reinforcements have arrived.
"Pass the order, the whole army will go out of the city to attack!" Tian Changjie ordered excitedly.
They have been passively beaten in Xitian Mansion, and their hearts have long been suffocated.
Now that the reinforcements have arrived, they can attack the Confederate troops inside and outside as planned.
"General, are you all leaving the city?" A banner battalion commander asked.
Tian Changjie said coldly: "Nonsense, the whole army will attack and annihilate the southern army outside the city!"
The city gate of Xitian Mansion soon burst open, and a large number of soldiers of the Qinghe Army who had survived the bloody battle rushed out of the city.
At the same time, the Cavalry Thirteenth Banner Regiment led by Lei Ming also launched an attack on the Southern Army.
Although the southern army dug many trenches around the camp, it blocked the Qinghe army's cavalry offensive.
However, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army immediately changed their group charge, and they used the centurion as a unit to attack the southern army camp at every turn.
For a while, the cavalry galloped freely, arrows were like flying locusts, and many camps of the Southern Army were also set ablaze. The raging flames raged, and the Southern Army camp was in chaos. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
