"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 625
There was a noisy fight outside the city of Xitian Mansion all night, and at dawn, the Qinghe army had completely controlled the situation.
The troops of the Southern Army under the command of Li Hong and the militia battalions of the big families were all defeated, and several troops and even the whole system were wiped out on the spot.
The troops of the Southern Army fought bloody battles outside Xitian Prefecture for several days, and their vigor had already been worn out.
Moreover, Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army, launched a sudden attack in the evening, and the Southern Army, which had been fighting hard for a day, had to drag its exhausted body to continue fighting fiercely.
On the one hand is the Qinghe army recharging their energy, and on the other is the exhausted soldiers who have fought a day of bloody battles. The balance of victory has been tilted towards the Qinghe army from the very beginning.
Both the 12th Banner Regiment and the 13th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army are the main banner regiments, and they are now working together to attack the Southern Army.
Although Li Hong's southern army has successively gathered the regular army of the southern army, the provincial garrison, the local garrison and the civilian army.
? Their troops seem to have an advantage in strength, but the internal system is complicated, and they are intriguing with each other, just like scattered sand.
Especially during the battle, the militia troops commanded by many big families directly slipped away on the battlefield in order to preserve their strength.
The Qinghe Army almost wiped out all the southern army units under Commander Li Hong at very little cost, and won the victory in the battle of Xitian Mansion.
"Go, hurry up!"
Amidst the billowing smoke, groups of disarmed Southern Army soldiers were taken prisoner by the Qinghe Army for centralized custody.
These Southern Army soldiers were covered in mud, water and blood, and looked embarrassed with their heads drooping.
? They returned aggressively, trying to exchange the heads of the Qinghe army for military exploits.
But unexpectedly, the ship capsized in the gutter and encountered an unprecedented fiasco outside the city of Xitian Prefecture.
?The Far East Dynasty has been in peace for more than 400 years, and the Southern Army has been stationed in the wealthy southern provinces all year round. They have been pampered and have not experienced any major wars.
Now tens of thousands of people have died in a battle outside the city of Xitian Prefecture. It can be said that they have suffered the most serious damage in more than a hundred years.
For these soldiers of the southern army who became captives, the fiasco of the Xitian Mansion was far more spiritual than the fiasco on the battlefield.
"Now that we have wiped out Li Hong's troops, there is no stronger enemy in the Jiangnan Province that can stop our progress."
Seeing the battlefield full of corpses, Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the army, was also very happy on his horse.
After all, the battle in Xitian Mansion was planned by him and his staff, and he was under a lot of pressure.
Because he has only two banner regiments under his command, it is also a bold adventure for him to destroy the imperial army composed of the southern army, civilian army, local garrison, and provincial garrison.
Fortunately, the various units of the Qinghe Army withstood the test, especially Tian Changjie's unit who was sticking to Xitian Mansion, which severely frustrated the Southern Army's spirit and laid the foundation for victory.
Now that they have wiped out Li Hong's troops, they have also wiped out many defenders in Jiangnan Province who came for reinforcements.
The troops left behind by the prefectures and counties in Jiangnan Province can be ignored directly, and now the prefectures and counties have opened their arms to their Qinghe Army, waiting for them to occupy them.
"Give me an order to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible. The 13th Banner Cavalry Regiment will divide into five groups and quickly occupy the prefectures and counties!"
The main force of the imperial court in the Jiangnan Province has been completely lost, and Yuan Jie will not have this opportunity to quickly lead the prefectures and counties without any worries.
Li Hong's troops were wiped out. After the news spread, people must be panic everywhere.
At this time, with the prestige of victory, they attack and occupy all the prefectures and counties, and they will be able to catch everyone by surprise.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander!"
When Yuan Jie ordered the cavalry troops to dispatch quickly to occupy the prefectures and counties, Tian Changjie, covered in blood, also strode forward.
The troops led by Tian Changjie held on to Xitian Mansion for a week, causing heavy casualties to Li Hong's Southern Army.
After the general offensive was launched last night, he led his troops out of the city to fight a bloody night, and made great achievements in the battle.
Seeing Tian Changjie approaching with blood on his face, Yuan Jie, the deputy army commander, couldn't help but stepped forward to give him a hug.
"Master Deputy Legion Commander, I am lucky to live up to my fate!"
Tian Changjie also grinned, showing his big white teeth.
Yuan Jie patted Tian Changjie on the shoulder and said: "You have made a great contribution this time, and I will definitely report your contribution to the general!"
???Thank you, Deputy Commander! "
Tian Changjie also hurriedly stood up and marched to thank him.
"How about it, can you still fight?"
Seeing the somewhat haggard Tian Changjie, Yuan Jie asked with a smile.
"able!"
Tian Changjie patted his chest and replied loudly.
"Okay, now that Li Hong's troops have been annihilated by us, the prefectures and counties must be in chaos when they get the news. We must occupy the prefectures and counties as soon as possible. You take a break and set off in the afternoon." Yuan Jie said.
"No!"
Tian Changjie immediately agreed.
After the Qinghe army wiped out all the units of Li Hong's southern army under the city of Xitianfu, it immediately attacked the various prefectures and counties without stopping.
They didn't quickly occupy the prefectures and counties because Yuan Jie was worried that his troops would be scattered and unable to fight against the returning southern army.
Now that the Southern Army has been wiped out, they naturally don't have this concern, at least for a short time.
So he did not hesitate to disperse the various troops and let them occupy the prefectures and counties as quickly as possible.
The dynasty officials and defenders in various prefectures and counties are actually very optimistic now, because they are full of confidence in the Southern Army.
?They felt that the Qinghe Army was besieged in Xitian Mansion, and it would be a matter of time before they were wiped out.
? Many places even set up gambling markets, guessing how long it would take for Li Hong to wipe out the Qinghe Army in Xitian Mansion.
However, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. In just one night, Li Hong's troops were completely wiped out.
At the same time, the reinforcements sent by various prefectures and counties, and the militia troops of various families were also wiped out under the city of Xitian Prefecture.
When the menacing Qinghe army suddenly appeared in various prefectures and counties, the local area was suddenly stunned.
Many officials had just received the news of Li Hong's defeat in Xitian Mansion before the Qinghe Army entered the city.
"Surrender, we surrender¡ª"
Many officials had no time to flee for their lives, and many people who were greedy for life and fear of death surrendered directly to the Qinghe army.
? The Qinghe army attacked the city like a broken bamboo all the way. Seeing that the southern army was no match for the Qinghe army, the towns along the way surrendered one after another.
Except for encountering small-scale resistance in some places, the Qinghe army pushed all the way almost effortlessly.
In less than two weeks, the Qinghe Army occupied ten prefectures throughout the Jiangnan Province, and took control of this grain-producing province.
The Qinghe army swept across the entire Jiangnan province with thunderous momentum. After the news came out, all forces were in an uproar.
When the Qinghe army crossed the south of the Yangtze River, King Ning and others were quite happy.
?Because King Ning felt that the Qinghe Army crossing the south of the Yangtze River to fight with the Southern Army would be hitting a stone with a pebble, which would eventually cause heavy losses to the Qinghe Army.
When the Qinghe Army and the Southern Army are fighting to the death, he will be able to take advantage of the trend to invade Jiangbei Province, occupy Jiangbei Province, and then be able to join their Luyang Province.
The rebel Yang Hao's troops were also somewhat unable to withstand the onslaught of the southern army. He was very happy that the Qinghe army crossed the south of the Yangtze River.
What Yang Hao didn't expect was that the Qinghe army was so strong that it occupied the entire Jiangnan province in just over a month.
"The Qinghe army must be a strong enemy of our army!"
After Yang Hao, the leader of the rebel army, learned of the Qinghe Army's record, he also listed the Qinghe Army as a potential threat. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
