"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 726
"What is the bandit army trying to do?"
In the Southern Army Command Headquarters, Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan was also full of doubts after receiving the report of the retreat of the Qinghe Army on the front lines of various armies.
"General, we are attacking from three directions, and the bandits can't stand it anymore, so they retreat."
The staff who were urgently summoned also felt strange, and one of the staff expressed his opinion.
"I also agree with Mr. Zhang's opinion. The bandit army just occupied the Jiangnan province, and then fought with us. Their repeated battles have already become exhausted."
"In the past, they were strong enough to guard the various places, but they have few soldiers. After a long time, they will naturally be unable to hold on and will retreat."
"General, what we need to do now is to take advantage of the victory and pursue the pursuit to regain the Jiangnan Province." Some staff suggested.
"I don't agree with you. Although the bandit army is small in strength, they are all brave and good at fighting."
"Now that they are retreating, they have not abandoned their armor, so I think they are not retreating, but an organized retreat."
"If our army pursued rashly, it is very likely to fall into the trap of the bandit army."
The Southern Army is also one of the frontier troops. Although they have been stationed in the affluent southern region all the year round, the army is not full of food and drink.
"I think you are the ambition of the long bandit army, destroying your own prestige."
After hearing the words of this staff member, several other staff members immediately became eccentric when speaking.
"General, although the thieves are retreating, for the sake of safety, I suggest that we take steps at every step and not give the thieves an opportunity."
This staff member didn't bother to argue with these colleagues, because he knew that the final decision was still made by Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan.
Luo Mingyuan naturally knew the strength of the Qinghe Army. Although the Qinghe Army was not strong, it was elite.
?Because they underestimated the enemy before, they suffered a hidden loss as soon as they fought, and lost more than 20,000 people.
?The so-called gaining wisdom through a pitfall, although the Qinghe Army is now retreating for unknown reasons, but Luo Mingyuan still feels that it is better to be more cautious.
"The order continues, and the troops on the front line must send more scouts, expand the search area, and at the same time strengthen their guard, and move forward steadily. Whoever dares to underestimate the enemy and advance aggressively will be killed without mercy."
The Southern Army has hundreds of thousands of people. Although it is distributed in Yunshan Province and Dongjiang Province, the troops he can mobilize are still strong.
As long as they move forward steadily, with the current strength of the Qinghe army, they are definitely not their opponents.
After all, the rise of the Qinghe army is too short. Even if they are brave and good at fighting, their background cannot be made up in a short time.
After the generals in command of the Southern Army received the order from General Zhennan, some thought it was very good, while others scoffed at it.
"I think the general is getting less and less courageous now."
Seeing the order sent by Luo Mingyuan, Xu Liang, the commander of the First Corps of the Southern Army, couldn't help being annoyed.
However, the annoyance is all about annoyance. Facing the order of General Zhennan, Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps, still obeyed.
The various armies of the Southern Army began to advance slowly, and some towns abandoned by the Qinghe Army also erected the battle flags of the Southern Army again.
It took more than a week for the southern army to completely occupy the three prefectures of Xinmen, Tongshan, and Jiang'an and the six subordinate counties because of their steady and steady strategy.
When the people in these three prefectures and six counties saw the familiar southern army coming back, they also cheered and lined the road to greet them.
After all, in the minds of these common people, the court is still orthodox, and the Qinghe army is still a bandit army no matter how strict its military discipline is.
When the Qinghe Army occupied these areas, although the people did not dare to resist on the surface, they actually held some hostility towards the Qinghe Army.
Therefore, in the battle with the Southern Army, the Qinghe Army fought quite hard, almost alone and helpless.
Now when the local people saw the Southern Army coming back, they lined the road to greet each other happily, as if celebrating a grand festival.
?The southern army marched into towns and cities effortlessly, enjoying the cheers of the people, and it was also light and light, not to mention how comfortable it was.
The frontline units of the Southern Army moved into various prefectures and counties in batches, making their forces dispersed.
The common people rewarded the southern army with fruits, vegetables and meat.The team also held a grand ceremony to announce the recovery of the three prefectures and six counties.
For a while, the lively atmosphere in Tongshan Mansion, Xinmen Mansion and Jiang'an Mansion was completely different from the previous atmosphere of war clouds.
The units of the Qinghe Army were also ordered to withdraw to the Shiyang area to gather in succession. The 12th Banner Regiment and the 13th Banner Regiment had been fighting for several months, and they were exhausted.
While Yuan Jie, the head of the Second Corps, ordered all the troops to rest and stand by, he was also paying close attention to the situation of the Southern Army.
The troops on the front line of the Southern Army were busy occupying various prefectures and counties, and carve up the property of these prefectures and counties. They didn't care about continuing to advance, but gave Yuan Jie and the others a chance to breathe.
"Now the troops of the Southern Army are stationed in various prefectures and counties in batches, and the troops are quite scattered. Shall we kill a carbine?"
After receiving the news from the scouts, Lei Ming, the head of the Thirteenth Banner, was a little eager to try.
After all, they gave up three prefectures and six counties. To be honest, they are still a little unwilling.
"Brothers have been fighting for several months, and they are exhausted. Let the brothers rest for a while, and there will be more battles next."
Although Yuan Jie, the head of the Corps, felt that this was also an opportunity, he finally suppressed the impulse in his heart and did not return to the carbine.
First of all, the two banner regiments under his command suffered a lot of losses, and the soldiers were exhausted. If they continued to fight, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
Moreover, the strength of the Southern Army should not be underestimated. Their forward troops are scattered in various counties, but their second echelon troops may come up at any time.
If they fight back and cannot resolve the battle quickly, they are likely to fall into a bitter battle.
"Drop a group of elite brothers, let them sneak back, pretend to be the Southern Army, and go around to rob, and ruin the reputation of the Southern Army."
Although the Qinghe Army's 12th and 13th Banner Regiments needed to rest, Yuan Jie didn't mind giving the Southern Army some eye drops.
"My lord, do you want brothers to rob the people?"
After hearing the order from the head of the regiment Yuan Jie, Han Feng, the head of the banner group, showed a look of embarrassment.
Their Qinghe army has strict military rules and has always been forbidden to rob people, but Yuan Jie issued such an order.
"It's fine to grab things, but don't hurt people." Yuan Jie added.
"But this is condoning the brothers to violate military discipline."
"This is a battle requirement, not a violation of military discipline."
"Tell the brothers who are going to carry out the order not to have any psychological burden. This is war, and some things are inevitable." Yuan Jie emphasized.
In fact, Yuan Jie's concerns are unnecessary, because now the people in these three prefectures and six counties are very welcome to the Southern Army.
When the brothers who performed the task sneaked back, they were naturally outraged when they saw this scene, so there was no psychological burden at all. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
