    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 643

    After a bloody battle, the troops led by Hong Bo, the head of the 19th Banner of the Qinghe Army, captured the Hancheng Port Wharf and seized this bridgehead.

    The deputy general of the Southern Army Navy who was in charge of staying behind was also very anxious when he saw that he lost the pier in less than half a day.

    On the one hand, he sent people out to inquire about the news of the navy general Ye Chun, on the other hand, he actively dispatched troops to defend Hancheng Port.

    "There are people in the city, and the bandit army wants to break through the cold city port, unless they step over our corpses!"

    Hancheng Port has become the last foothold of the southern army and navy in Jiangnan province.

    Because most of the areas have been captured by the troops led by Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army.

    Now they have no way to retreat, so the deputy general of the Southern Army is also ready to go all out, and is ready to fight the Qinghe Army to the end.

    Under the active mobilization of this lieutenant general, most of the soldiers in the city were transferred to the top of the city to prepare for the fight to the end.

    ? When the Southern Army and the Navy were facing the enemy, they assumed a posture of fighting to the end, and a Qinghe Army with a mixed formation of infantry and cavalry was also marching towards Hancheng Port in a hurry.

    Now the Qinghe army has opened up the connection between the Jiangbei province and the Jiangnan province. Although the main force of the southern army and water army still exists, it can no longer completely block the Dongjiang River Basin.

    When Hong Bo, the head of the Sailing Banner, led his troops to head straight for the cold city port where the Southern Army's navy's old nest was, Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the Jiangnan Province, also received an order to send a force to cooperate with the capture of Cold City.  port.

    Hong Bo's subordinates are all water bandits. Although there are some Qinghe Army soldiers, they are powerless to capture Hancheng Port alone.

    Therefore, they need the cooperation of other friendly troops. After Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the army, got the news, for the sake of the overall situation, he mobilized 3,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry, a total of 7,000 troops, and rushed to Hancheng Port.

    At that time, Hongbo's navy troops will launch an attack from the direction of the dock, while the cavalry will launch an attack from the land, preparing to seize Hancheng Harbor in one fell swoop.

    Hong Bo and the others did not launch an attack on Hancheng Port immediately after they seized the pier. They mainly waited for the support of the infantry and cavalry allies. After all, relying on their own strength, they really couldn't attack.

    "Master Lieutenant General, it's not good, a large group of bandit cavalry has appeared in the south of the city."

    When night fell, the deputy general of the Southern Army Navy had just returned to the mansion after inspecting the city defenses, when an officer rushed into the door in a hurry.

    "What?!"

    When he heard that a large number of cavalry from the Qinghe Army had appeared in the south of the city, the deputy general also stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

    "Didn't it mean that they were still more than a hundred miles away, why did they suddenly arrive in the south of the city?" the lieutenant general questioned the officer.

    "Master Lieutenant General, I don't know, they just popped up suddenly, go and have a look." The officer said innocently.

    The lieutenant general didn't dare to neglect, cursing the scouts for being unreliable, and rushed to the south city wall in a hurry.

    When he climbed to the top of the city, he saw countless cavalrymen of the Qinghe army wandering in the field to the south of the city, and many fires were lit in the distance, and a large number of cavalrymen of the Qinghe army were cooking.

    "Master Lieutenant General, the bandit cavalry are coming from a long distance. Shall we take advantage of their unsteady footing and kill their vigor?"

    Seeing that the Qinghe army outside the city had just arrived here, some officers felt that they were coming in a rush and wanted to attack.

    "Stupid, we don't have cavalry, if we go out, we will die!"

    The lieutenant couldn't help but gave the officer who made the suggestion a shudder, and cursed.

    "Pass down the order. Without my order, whoever dares to attack without permission will be killed without mercy!" The deputy general said coldly.  ,

    "No!"

    "You are not allowed to rest tonight, and you all garrison the city!"

    The water army of the Qinghe Army and the water bandits had just captured the pier, and the cavalry of the Qinghe Army appeared in the south of Hancheng Port.

    Now that Hancheng Port is under attack from both sides, the lieutenant secretly scolded himself for being unlucky, and at the same time raised the level of alert for the first time.

    Now that the enemy is at hand, the Southern Army soldiers in the city dare not be careless. Under the orders of officers at all levels, they are ready to fight.

    "I heard that the bandit army has killed outside the city?"

    "That's right, haven't you seen that all the guards have been withdrawn?"

    "During the day, I saw a lot of people with missing arms and legs brought back from the pier. It is estimated that this time he?The loss is not small.  "

    "Let them bully us on weekdays. It would be better if they are all dead."

    When the southern army and navy were actively deploying defenses at the top of the city, more than 30,000 civilians in a shack area in the east of the city also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and there were many discussions about it.

    "Oh, I don't know how my mother-in-law is doing now."

    "Who knows, I heard that many people were killed outside the city a few days before those dog days."

    The parents, wives and children of these civilian husbands all fled here with them, and they were forcibly recruited to strengthen the city defense.

    However, because their parents, wives and children had no labor force, the Southern Army did not want to provide them with food.

    Instead of letting them enter the city, the Southern Army sent troops to expel them. In order to complete the task, the expelled officers violently expelled them, causing many casualties.

    Now these civilians cannot leave, because the southern army not only makes them responsible for strengthening the city defense, carrying arrows, logs and other materials, but also plans to let them stay in the city, and let them go to the city to help in the battle if they cannot hold on.

    But what the Southern Army didn't know was that because the parents, wives and children of these civilian husbands were expelled, they had long felt resentment towards the Southern Army in their hearts.

    They fled here mainly because they wanted to get the protection of the Southern Army, but who knew that things backfired, and they even got themselves involved.

    "Someone ran away!"

    When these folk men were worried about their parents, wives and children in the shack in the east of the city, the shouts of guards came from a distance.

    I saw more than a dozen guards holding torches chasing towards the distance, and a few ragged peasants were stumbling to escape.

    Now a large number of Southern Army soldiers have been transferred to the city for defense, so that the guards guarding the civilians have been greatly weakened.

    Some civilian husbands wanted to take advantage of the loopholes to escape, but they were discovered as soon as they ran.

    Soon these civilian husbands who tried to escape were captured by the soldiers of the Southern Army. The soldiers of the Southern Army were also rude to them and beat them with black noses and swollen faces.

    "Kill it to make a warning to others!"

    Seeing the bruised and swollen civilian husband who was beaten, the officer in charge of guarding the civilian husband decided to make an example to others in order to frighten the rest.

    "My lord, I was wrong."

    "We dare not again."

    The few civilian men who were trying to escape did not expect that the guard officers would kill them, and they were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, and they hurriedly kowtowed for mercy.

    "kill¡ª¡ª"

    However, the guard officers with cold faces didn't give them a chance at all, and insisted on using them to make an example of others.

    "I will fight with you guys!"

    When a civilian man was pinned to the ground and was about to be killed, he suddenly struggled and knocked the Southern Army soldier beside him to the ground.

    Before the Southern Army soldier could react, he took the knife from the Southern Army soldier's hand and killed the Southern Army soldier.

    Because the incident happened suddenly, the people around did not react, but soon the southern army officer became furious.

    "Killed people!"

    Amid the officer's roar, several Southern Army soldiers who were like wolves and tigers rushed over.

    "Fight hard, or you'll all die!"

    Seeing several Southern Army soldiers rushing towards him, the civilian husband was also frightened, and hurriedly shouted at the others.

    After a few people around, the bruised and swollen civilian husbands froze for a moment, then they all roared angrily and rushed towards the Southern Army soldier who was closest to him.

    "Brothers, fight!"

    "Avenge the dead parents, wives and children!"

    I don't know who in the crowd roared, and the folks who were watching the excitement were suddenly agitated.

    More and more peasants stood up, holding shovels and hoes, and fiercely surrounded those Southern Army soldiers.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
