"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 725
Chen Zi'ang's second army is now growing in strength, so naturally it doesn't need to be inferior to others.
However, the main force of the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ru was in the same line as Chen Ziang's Second Army, and Chen Ziang didn't want to make things too extreme.
After all, apart from their Qinghe army, the princes, major families and frontier troops in the Far East Dynasty are powerful.
Going further, several countries around the Far Eastern Dynasty are also eyeing the Far Eastern Dynasty.
They supported some rebels openly and secretly, and even sent troops to occupy some prefectures and counties on the border, and began to erode the land of the Far Eastern Dynasty.
The Far Eastern Dynasty is now in chaos internally. Facing the encroachment of the borders of the surrounding countries, it can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, and even dare not express some opinions.
Because now these surrounding countries are only secretly encroaching on the border land. If they anger the other party, the other party will send a large army directly, and they will lose more land by then.
Because Chen Ziang and the others had to face a lot of powerful enemies, Chen Ziang didn't want to quarrel with the main force of the Qinghe Army led by Chen Ru. What they needed was win-win cooperation.
Now Chen Ziang ordered Zhang Yi, the head of the intelligence investigation department Yunshan Province, to send people to secretly infiltrate the remaining Qinghe army regiments, just in case.
After all, the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of defense is indispensable. He is so powerful now, who knows what the other legions will think.
Chen Zi'ang led the Qinghe Army's Second Corps to develop tremblingly all the way until now, and it is also walking on thin ice.
Naturally, he didn't want others to steal his victory. Those arrogant soldiers under his command had already formed a community of interests with him, so he naturally didn't want their achievements to be plundered.
Chief of Staff Li Qiye and others had been separated from Chen Ziang for too long, and Chen Ziang didn't know what they were thinking.
So for their return, they still hold a cautious attitude. The first thing is loyalty. This requires a secret investigation and observation by the Intelligence Investigation Department.
Zhang Yi, the person in charge of the Yunshan Province of the Intelligence Investigation Department, quickly returned to the Yunshan Province with Chen Ziang's order.
Along with Zhang Yi, there were more than 100 students trained by the War Academy in the base camp who rushed to Yunshan Province.
These trainees are all educated and cultured trainee officers at the War College established by Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang sent them to the front line, also hoping that they could have some experience in the army, and then assign duties according to their performance.
Chen Ziang selected a hundred of these students and assigned them to Zhang Yi. Apart from making up for the shortage of manpower under his command, he also hoped to train them in a difficult environment.
In Zhanzheng College, these students not only study military theory courses compiled by Chen Ziang himself, but also study intelligence, economics and other related courses.
They can also be regarded as the first batch of official new officers trained by Chen Ziang War College.
?Because the previous officers at all levels were almost all promoted from the army. They fought bravely, but most of them did not know a few big words, let alone military literacy. Fighting in battle was entirely based on experience.
Chen Ziang concurrently serves as the dean of Yunxi Academy and War College, and the trainee officers from these War Colleges can also be regarded as Chen Zi'ang's students.
Chen Ziang met them in Fenglin Town, hosted a banquet for them, and encouraged them.
Some of them followed Zhang Yi to Yunshan Province, and some of them were sent to the Second Corps on the front line as trainee officers, which was arranged by Corps Commander Yuan Jie.
According to Chen Ziang's instructions, Yuan Jie, the head of the regiment, assigned these trainee officers to various units for training.
Arriving at the Second Corps with the trainee officers, there is also Chen Ziang's approval letter to Yuan Jie, the commander of the Second Corps.
Yuan Jie is now leading the troops to fight against the main force of the Southern Army on the front line. Because of the shortage of troops, he made the decision to abandon some towns and extend the depth.
Although Yuan Jie is the commander of the regiment, he still holds a heavy army in his hands and is in charge of it alone.
His decision was quite risky. Once someone went to Chen Ziang's side to slander him and say that he had colluded with the Southern Army, it would be enough for him to drink a pot.
Therefore, after Yuan Jie made a decision, he immediately sent someone to report the detailed plan to Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang appointed Yuan Jie as the head of the corps, and led the second corps to deal with the southern army. Naturally, he was delegated power to him.
When Chen Ziang saw the urgent report sent by Yuan Jie, Chen Ziang shook his head with a smile, and also made a review.
"You have the full authority to command all the frontline battles. I will not interfere. It is recommended to give a certain amount of command power to the banner commander and the banner battalion commander. Otherwise, reporting everything will easily delay the fighter."
After seeing Chen Ziang's instructions, Yuan Jie, the head of the regiment at the front line, was also deeply moved.
Because if he can't fight well, he will be sorry for the trust of the regiment leader Chen Ziang.
With Chen Ziang's review, Yuan Jie, the head of the regiment, now felt confident, and immediately ordered all the troops to speed up their actions, withdraw from the battle as soon as possible, and gather in the Shiyang area.
Previously, the troops of the 12th Banner Regiment and the 13th Banner Regiment needed to defend the hundreds of miles long line from Xinmen Mansion to Jiang'an Mansion.
Although the brothers of the two banner regiments fought bloody battles, the actual effect was not good. They lost troops and lost generals, but they still couldn't stop the southern army.
Faced with this situation, Yuan Jie, head of the Second Corps of the Second Corps of the Qinghe Army, voluntarily gave up the three prefectures and six counties on the front line, which can be said to be quite courageous.
At this moment, the defense lines on the front line are still in battle, because the troops on the front line are retreating while fighting.
Now with the arrival of the order of Yuan Jiexin, the head of the corps, the troops no longer have any consideration.
"Burn all the luggage that can't be taken away, and retreat lightly!"
The First Banner Battalion of the Twelfth Banner Regiment was still holding on to the Xinmen Mansion, and after receiving the order, it acted quickly.
"Send the order, stick to it for another three hours, and retreat when it gets dark!"
The Third Banner Battalion of the Twelfth Banner Regiment was fighting and retreating on the front line of Jiang'an Mansion. After receiving the order, it also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Notify the cavalry brothers to cover our retreat."
The troops moved quickly. They burned everything they could not take away. Under the cover of the troops under the 13th Cavalry Banner Regiment, the infantry retreated overnight.
The brothers of the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry quietly withdrew from the battlefield before dawn after covering the retreat of the infantry.
? When the southern troops on various lines of defense woke up, they found that the Qinghe Army, which had been fighting with them for the past few days, had completely withdrawn overnight.
When the Qinghe Army was holding on to the various lines of defense, the Southern Army launched wave after wave of attacks, and the two sides fought fiercely.
However, when the Qinghe Army suddenly withdrew overnight, the troops of the Southern Army fell into a state of hesitation, and they didn't even dare to move forward, worrying that it was a conspiracy of the Qinghe Army.
Some daring generals of the southern army felt that the Qinghe army had retreated, and clamored to launch a pursuit, but they were quickly rejected.
"It's strange that the thieves are withdrawing, don't fall into an ambush, be careful."
All the generals in command of the Southern Army became cautious by coincidence.
"Quickly send out scouts to investigate the movement of the bandit army."
"Report to the general, saying that the bandit army in front of us suddenly retreated, and asked for instructions on the next step."
The Qinghe army retreated, and the southern army was afraid to ambush and did not dare to pursue. The previously dark fronts suddenly fell into a strange state. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
