"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 697
? East of Dongjiang Province, Sishui Prefecture.
The densely packed military tents stretched for dozens of miles, groups of soldiers and horses were frequently mobilized, people were noisy and horses neighed, and the air was filled with a murderous aura.
Surabaya Mansion is only 30 miles away from the border of Jiangnan Province. It has always been a thoroughfare for business and trade, with a large population and prosperous business.
It's just that there are few merchants and pedestrians on the spacious streets of Surabaya, and as far as the eye can see, there are groups of southern soldiers wearing blades.
The headquarters of Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan was set up in Sishui Mansion, surrounded by nearly 200,000 southern troops.
A luxurious mansion in Chengbei, Surabaya Mansion was heavily guarded inside and outside, soldiers from the Skeleton Battalion wearing thick armor blocked the two streets adjacent to the mansion.
At this moment, in the spacious and bright hall of the mansion, dozens of generals of the southern army in bright armor stood in silence, but the atmosphere was dull and suffocating.
"Talk about it, why is it difficult to make an inch in the past few days?"
Luo Mingyuan, the Great General of Zhennan, sat on the first chair of the grand master, his tiger eyes swept over the faces of these standing generals, he tapped his fingers on the table, and questioned these generals.
After they defeated the rebel army Yang Hao, Luo Mingyuan led a mighty army to leave Yunshan Province to return to aid Jiangnan Province.
Their army has crossed the Dongjiang Province, and they are about to reach the Jiangnan Province soon.
However, they encountered the tenacious resistance of the Qinghe Army on the border of the Jiangnan Province. Not to mention the heavy losses, it was difficult to make an inch of progress.
The generals felt aggrieved, they also hoped to win the battle, but the enemy was too strong.
With the might of defeating the rebel Yang Hao, they wanted to sweep the Qinghe army and take back the Jiangnan province.
However, they greatly underestimated the strength of the Qinghe army, so that they suffered a big loss.
Their vanguard troops have indeed entered Tongshan Prefecture in Jiangnan Province, and even occupied the capital of Tongshan Prefecture.
However, who knew that overnight, densely packed Qinghe troops sprung up around the capital of Tongshan Prefecture like mushrooms after rain, so that their vanguard encountered a heavy siege.
The head of the First Corps who got the news immediately sent people to help, but they rushed to march in a hurry, and encountered an ambush halfway, resulting in the death of three lieutenants, eight generals, and nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.
After the defeated general fled back to the territory of Dongjiang Province in embarrassment, the besieged vanguard of Tongshan Mansion was eaten by Qinghe Army again.
After going back and forth, they suffered two big losses in a row at the hands of the Qinghe Army, losing almost 20,000 troops.
Although more than 20,000 troops are nothing more than a drop in the bucket for their 200,000 army.
However, they also realized the strength of the Qinghe army in the two battles, so in the next battle, the situation changed subtly.
? Although all the troops were ordered to attack, they all had a small plan to preserve their strength and let other troops go up to die, and then pick peaches by themselves.
Because the generals of the various units of the Southern Army have the idea of ??preserving their strength, the offensive of each unit is also weak.
In fact, the Qinghe Army they are facing now is not many troops, only the main force of the 12th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Infantry.
The four banner battalions of the Twelfth Banner Regiment are fully occupied. In fact, only three of their banner battalions have arrived here.
Among them, Zhou Han's No. 1 Banner Battalion has the most troops, because they absorbed prisoners of war in a series of battles, so their strength is about 9,000.
The other two banner battalions add up to only 10,000, but they are indeed elite troops of the Qinghe Army.
Just like this, the three banner battalions in the district have less than 20,000 troops, but the 200,000 southern troops are not moving forward. If it is spread, it may make people laugh, but it is actually the case.
"Why, are you dumb, or are you deaf?!"
General Luo Mingyuan of Zhennan saw that all the generals bowed their heads and did not speak. He also angrily punched his fist on the table, scaring everyone into a fright.
"Xu Liang, you said¡ª"
Seeing that everyone was silent, General Luo Mingyuan called the name of Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps.
Xu Liang, a heavyweight and fat general, knew that if he didn't say something, it might be difficult for him to communicate.
"General, it's not that the boys don't want to die, but that the thief army is too cunning, and their methods are endless"
Xu Liangbian, head of the obese First CorpsHe gave an explanation, while peeking at the general Luo Mingyuan's reaction from the corner of his eye.
Seeing a sullen look on Luo Mingyuan's face, he changed the subject and hastily changed his statement.
"Of course, the brothers also underestimate the enemy, such as General Wu. They didn't send many scouts, so they were surrounded by bandits."
"As for the deputy general Chu who rescued them, they also made the same problem, so that they were ambushed. It really shouldn't be. I have always emphasized not to underestimate the enemy"
"Asshole!"
Before Xu Liang finished speaking, Luo Mingyuan slammed the table fiercely and interrupted his explanation with angrily cursing.
"You put all the responsibility on the dead. According to what you mean, do I still have to credit you?!" Luo Mingyuan said coldly.
"That's not necessary, that's not necessary"
Facing Luo Mingyuan's captivating eyes, Xu Liang didn't dare to look at him.
"I won't talk about the defeat. I will let you lead the attack. What kind of useless battle do you think you are fighting?!"
"Three days, three days, I didn't even take a single village from your First Corps, losing 3,000 people!"
The more Luo Mingyuan spoke, the angrier he became, almost roaring.
Seeing Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps, deflated, the head of the Second Corps had a look of gloating on his face.
"And you, your Second Corps captured a town, but you only held it for one day, isn't it glorious?!"
Seeing the expression of the commander of the Second Corps, Luo Mingyuan was furious, and immediately pointed the finger at him.
"I think you are trash, idiot!"
Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan's angry voice echoed in the hall, and all the generals also bowed their heads and remained silent.
They have been fighting repeatedly with the rebel Yang Hao for so long. Although the soldiers have been tempered, they are also exhausted after continuous fighting, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, not to mention the Qinghe army that killed them.
These generals looted a lot of property and women in the name of eliminating the rebels in Yunshan Province.
Only the property that Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps, snatched back was full of 60 carts, and there were hundreds of women.
Now that he has money and women, and wants to enjoy himself after the war, he naturally doesn't want to go up and fight the Qinghe army.
The other generals are almost the same as Xu Liang, so they all have a careful thought of preserving their strength, and they are unwilling to go up and fight the Qinghe army.
The generals enjoyed it so much, and the soldiers who had been fighting continuously for so long naturally didn't want to fight anymore, so they were weak in the attack on the Qinghe army.
Although the Qinghe Army has a small number of troops and has just experienced a major war, because the Qinghe Army attaches great importance to rewarding military merits, its combat effectiveness has been maintained.
Han Feng, head of the Twelfth Banner, led the Qinghe Army with less than 20,000 troops, and forcibly blocked the 200,000 troops of the Southern Army.
