"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 632
The remnants and defeated generals under Yang Hao's command all broke through the encirclement all the way, and if they can break through in a bloody battle, they are naturally not waste.
At this juncture of life and death, they broke out their powerful fighting power, forcibly killing and repelling the Southern Army chasing soldiers who were chasing into the valley, beheading two thousand soldiers.
Seeing that Yang Hao's remnant troops were still dying even though they were at the end of the road, the generals of the Southern Army cursed and didn't want to fight them desperately.
After all, they already have the chance to win now, so there is no need to fight a war of attrition with Yang Hao and others.
"Wrap up the valley, I will trap them to death!"
Seeing that Yang Hao and the others were still fighting fiercely in their dying struggles, the general of the Southern Army did not want to lose too much damage to his subordinates, so he changed to besiege.
The soldiers of the Southern Army also knew that the opponent was a group of lunatics who had put life and death aside, so they agreed with the general's order with both hands.
Because the more than 2,000 heads at the entrance of the valley reminded them that although Yang Hao and the others were only dying, they still had the ability to support them when they were dying.
The Southern Army began to dig trenches outside the mouth of the Long Dragon Valley, build fences, and began to besiege Yang Hao and others.
Yang Hao and the others naturally didn't want to be the turtle in the urn. Yang Hao led his troops to break out of the encirclement while the southern army was building a camp.
However, the southern army had been prepared for a long time. As soon as Yang Hao and the others rushed to the entrance of the valley, dense arrows like locusts enveloped them.
Dozens of rebel soldiers rushing forward were turned into hedgehogs by arrows, Yang Hao and others were forced to retreat into the valley, and the battle fell into a stalemate for a while.
If Yang Hao and the others were blocked in the valley, the southern army could not get in.
After Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan learned that Yang Hao's remnants were blocked here, he also sent an additional army to help in the battle.
At the same time, Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan commanded the rest of the troops to quickly seize the prefectures and counties of Yunshan Province.
There were not many rebel soldiers in the prefectures and counties. Facing the sweeping Southern Army troops, they died or fled, and they were defeated.
? When the Southern Army defeated the rebels in Yunshan Province, they were defeated and victorious. On the Dongjiang River, a siege against the Southern Army's navy fleet also quickly started.
The Southern Army Navy Fleet controlled the Dongjiang River and blocked the contact between the Qinghe Army in the north of the Jiangxi and the Qinghe Army in the south of the Yangtze River.
Although the Qinghe army in Jiangnan Province has occupied various prefectures and counties and seized countless money and food, they cannot be transported out.
However, due to the development of Jiangbei Province, a large number of refugees poured in, and they were extremely short of food and money.
Therefore, the elimination of the Southern Army Navy Fleet and control of the Dongjiang waters have become the top priority for the Qinghe Army.
Chen Ziang, the regiment commander of the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army, personally sat in Youlonggang, Jiangbei Province, in order to open up the connection between Jiangbei Province and Jiangnan Province.
A few weeks ago, Youlong Port was nothing more than a small remote fishing village, but now a large number of ships and soldiers have gathered here.
Chen Ziang personally sits here, the purpose is to urge the newly formed 19th Banner Regiment of the Sailors to attack quickly, not to mention completely defeating the Southern Army Navy Fleet, at least to control part of the waters.
Hong Bo, head of the 19th Banner of the Qinghe Army Sailors, is also very busy these days. On the one hand, he has to actively train new recruits.
On the one hand, it is necessary to spend a lot of money to invite water bandits from all walks of life, hoping that they can participate in the battle to attack the Southern Army Navy Fleet.
Hong Bo, the new head of the banner, originally had some hostility towards Chen Ziang, because he was threatened by Chen Ziang to take office.
When staying alone with Chen Ziang, Hong Bo wanted to kill Chen Ziang more than once, and took Chen Ziang's head to join the Southern Army, maybe he could change to another official.
But Hong Bo gave up his thoughts in the end, because the longer he was in contact with the Qinghe Army and the deeper he understood, the more he felt the strength of the Qinghe Army and the unfathomable Chen Ziang.
In particular, the Qinghe Army had defeated the Southern Army in a short period of time and occupied the Jiangnan Province, which made Hong Bo realize that the rise of the Qinghe Army was unstoppable.
Although he was threatened and joined the Qinghe Army, not many people knew about it.
As long as I follow Chen Ziang's words well, maybe I can really become a marquis and a general.
Facing Chen Ziang, the commander who trusted him a lot, and the Qinghe Army is getting stronger now, so Hong Bo now selectively forgets about being blackmailed,?Continue to build a navy fleet wholeheartedly.
Because Hong Bo felt that in this turbulent time, there was no better place to go except to follow the Qinghe Army for a little hope.
Seeing Hong Bo busy all day to form the 19th Banner Regiment of the Sailors, Chen Ziang not only trusted Hong Bo, but also fulfilled his promise to him at the beginning, giving priority to the supply of all materials and military salaries.
Chen Ziang also agreed with Hong Bo's recruitment of water bandits to fight, and also specially allocated some funds to Hong Bo.
Seeing Chen Ziang trust and respect him so much, Hong Bo seemed to have found the value of his life again, and gradually adapted to his new role.
"Now being lured by a lot of money, there are 221 water bandits who came to Youlonggang."
In the flag regiment headquarters of the 19th Banner Regiment of the Sailors in Youlonggang, Hong Bo, the head of the flag regiment, was reporting the progress of various tasks to Chen Ziang.
"The water bandits have a force of 3,251 men and 830 ships, including five large ships of more than 2,000 materials."
After hearing the report from Hong Bo, the head of the 19th Banner, Chen Ziang also nodded in satisfaction.
Now they have gathered so many water bandits in Youlonggang, and they have formed a certain fighting capacity.
"Information shows that the Southern Army Navy stationed at Xilang Port has 100 ships and more than 5,000 people. In addition, there are also a small number of Southern Army Navy fast boats swimming on the river. They are responsible for patrolling the river. They have all retreated to Hancheng Port."
"We are going to launch an attack on Xilang Port tomorrow night. We will take Xilang Port first and open up the connection with Jiangnan Province."
Hong Bo, head of the 19th Banner of the Sailors, said while looking at Chen Ziang. After all, this was the first battle plan they formulated, and he didn't know whether Chen Ziang agreed or not.
Chen Ziang is the coach. The most important thing is that Chen Ziang doesn't understand water warfare. If Chen Ziang commands blindly, he will be in trouble at that time.
?Because the incompetence of one general exhausted the three armies, if Chen Ziang commanded blindly, their 19th Banner Regiment would probably be unlucky as well.
"I don't know water warfare. You command this battle, and you decide everything. I'm just supervising the battle from behind."
Chen Ziang knew the disadvantages of laymen commanding experts. He didn't know how to admit it openly, and fully delegated power to Hong Bo.
Hong Bo didn't expect Chen Ziang to agree to their plan so simply and neatly, and let him take full command.
"What, do you have any comments?"
Chen Ziang saw that Hong Bolen was silent, so he couldn't help but add something.
"General, since you entrusted me with command of this battle, I will definitely not let you down! We will definitely win the battle!"
Hong Bo felt Chen Ziang's trust, which was his respect and affirmation. He also patted his chest and assured Chen Ziang.
"You don't have to promise me a victory. After all, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. Just do your best."
"However, this is your first battle after the formation of the 19th Banner Regiment. I still hope that you can do your best to fight well. After all, if you win the battle, my face will be honored."
"General, don't worry, if I don't win, I will have no face to come back to see you, I will wipe my neck myself!" Hong Bolang said. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
