"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 731
With the order of Yuan Jie, the commander of the Second Corps of the Qinghe Army, all the units of the Qinghe Army assembled in the Shiyang Town area immediately took action.
The 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry took the lead and headed north, followed by the 12th Banner Regiment of the Infantry, and the 20th Banner Regiment followed closely behind.
The troops of the Qinghe Army were well-organized and marched on the main road with sonorous and powerful steps, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
"It must be a lot of people."
"It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people."
"What are they doing?"
"Look at them, it looks like they are going to war."
Seeing the Qinghe army marching in high spirits, the people on both sides of the road were also whispering.
When the Qinghe Army gathered in the Shiyang area, many people were afraid of being harmed by the Qinghe Army, so they hid in the forest or the countryside one after another.
However, the Qinghe army was recuperating in the Shiyang area, and did not commit any crime to the surrounding villages and towns. Some bold people hid in the wild for a while, and then came back quietly.
Seeing that the Qinghe army did not harass their homes, the common people still have a good impression of this army with strict military discipline.
In the past, when they saw a large army passing by, they would definitely flee far away, but now they dare to point and watch by the roadside.
When these common people stood by the roadside and watched the troops of the Qinghe Army set off and march, among the crowd of onlookers, some spies of the Southern Army were silently counting the flags of the Qinghe Army and estimating the strength of the Qinghe Army.
After the Qinghe Army passed by all the way, those Southern Army spies hidden among the people quickly returned to the nearby villages.
The secret agents of the Southern Army hid war horses in a nearby village. They got on their horses and galloped away along the trail.
After these southern army spies rode away along the path, two spies from the Qinghe Army Intelligence Investigation Department walked out from behind a big tree.
They glanced at the direction where the Southern Army's secret talks left, then turned back and reported the situation to Yuan Jie, the commander of the Second Corps on the front line.
Yuan Jie and the others ostentatiously let the troops march to the north with only one purpose, that is to disturb the sight of the southern army.
After he got the report that many secret talks of the Confederate Army hiding on their side had left, a successful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Let the brothers of the Intelligence and Investigation Department keep an eye on the Southern Army spies who are still lingering nearby. If they have any changes, report them as soon as possible."
"No!"
It is difficult for the Southern Army's scouts to penetrate into the Qinghe Army's control area to obtain effective intelligence, so the Southern Army had to send people to disguise themselves as civilians to spy on the information.
They thought they were doing it without anyone noticing, but those spies disguised as ordinary people wandered around the Qinghe military camp all day long, and they had been secretly targeted by the intelligence and investigation department.
The spies of the Southern Army galloped all the way, and soon sent the information back to Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan's desk.
"Has the main force of the bandit army gone north?"
After receiving the report from the spies, Luo Mingyuan, the Great General of Zhennan, also walked to the map in big strides.
"Reporting to the general, we have seen with our own eyes that at least 50,000 to 60,000 bandits have gone north." The spy said firmly.
"It seems that the thieves still like to squeeze persimmons."
The offensive force of the Southern Army's North Road is mainly composed of the First Corps, with a strength of about 40,000.
Now the purpose of the Qinghe Army going north is self-evident, and that is to go to their First Corps on the North Road.
In fact, this result was similar to what Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan had expected, because they had three routes to attack, and if the Qinghe army wanted to fight, only the south and north routes were slightly weaker, and they targeted these two routes.
"General, should we report the situation to General Xu of the First Corps." A staff member asked.
After all, the Qinghe army is going to the First Corps on the North Road. Now that they have obtained information, they must remind the First Corps on the North Road to prepare for the battle, otherwise they will suffer.
"If he knew that the main force of the bandit army was heading towards him, he would probably turn around and retreat immediately, and would not confront the bandit army head-on."
General Zhennan knew Xu Liang, the head of the First Corps, quite well, and he was an old cunning.
"Send someone to tell Xu Liang that there is a small army of thieves heading towards him.We went there, so he must be vigilant. "
The purpose of Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan is very simple, that is, to hope that Xu Liang's troops on the North Road can contain the main force of the Qinghe Army and buy some time for the other two groups to attack.
Xu Liang is not Luo Mingyuan's direct line of troops, but a stronger one among the many factions of the Southern Army.
This time, he not only wanted to use Xu Liang's troops to contain the main force of the Qinghe Army, but also wanted to use the hands of the Qinghe Army to weaken Xu Liang's strength by the way.
The 40,000 army led by Xu Liang is one of the three-way offensive troops. In fact, he is also very cautious.
Xu Liang's troops not only marched slowly, but also sent a large number of scouts to scout out the enemy's situation.
Because Xu Liang had suffered from the Qinghe Army in Tongshan Mansion, he knew that his opponent was not a good opponent, so he dared not be careless in the slightest.
When Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan sent someone to tell Xu Liang that there was a small group of Qinghe troops coming towards him, Xu Liang was also taken aback.
"Stop advancing, quickly send someone to find out the movements of the bandits!"
Following Xu Liang's order, a large number of scouts spread out and began to investigate the movements of the Qinghe army.
"Report!"
Not long after Xu Liang and the others waited, a scout Qingqi galloped over.
"what happened?!"
Seeing this anxious scout Qingqi, Xu Liang asked loudly.
"General Qi, there are a large number of bandit cavalry ahead, numbering in the tens of thousands."
"What?"
Hearing that there were tens of thousands of cavalry from the Qinghe Army in front of him, Xu Liang was also shocked, his face full of disbelief.
Because what Luo Mingyuan informed them was that only a small group of Qinghe troops were coming towards them.
"See clearly?!"
"General, there are indeed tens of thousands of bandit cavalry, coming towards us."
"Damn it, get out, get out!"
After Xu Liang couldn't help but uttered a foul language, he immediately gave the order to retreat.
Except for the scout Qingqi, Xu Liang's troops are almost all infantry.
If they encountered the sturdy cavalry of the Qinghe Army in this field, they would know the consequences without even thinking about it.
"The general has an order, retreat!"
"The general has an order, retreat!"
Orders were issued one by one, and Xu Liang's troops quickly turned around and headed for the nearest city.
When Xu Liang and others retreated into the city in embarrassment, smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and a large number of cavalry from the Qinghe Army had already chased and killed them.
Before Xu Liang's more than 10,000 rearguard troops had time to enter the city, they all scrambled towards the city gate when they heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes behind them, forming a chaotic mess.
"Kill!"
Commanding this cavalry unit of the Qinghe Army was Tan Feng, the deputy head of the 13th Banner Regiment. Seeing the soldiers of the Southern Army scrambling to enter the city from a distance, his expression turned grim, and he gave the order to attack.
Ten thousand cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army marched side by side, rushing towards Xu Liang's rearguard troops like an overwhelming sea. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
