"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 734
The lights in Yangjia Town were brightly lit, and more than 1,500 soldiers of the forward troops of the Southern Army were drinking and eating meat lively, not aware of the approaching danger at all.
Amidst the sound of clanging metals, the Qinghe Army quickly emerged from the darkness like a tide, and they approached the town wall with their waists low.
Dong Hao, the trainee banner battalion commander, poked his head out to observe the situation in the town, and saw a bonfire burning more than 200 steps away, and more than 20 Southern Army soldiers were drinking, talking and laughing with flushed faces.
The War Academy that Chen Ziang planned to build has already trained a group of trainee officers, and this time they have been assigned to various units to practice in actual combat.
These trainee officers include grass-roots officers at the level of generals of one hundred and one thousand generals, as well as middle-level officers at the level of banner battalion commanders.
Dong Hao is a middle-level officer who belongs to the rank of banner battalion commander. There are not many trainee officers at his level, only a dozen or so.
They can be selected to study at Zhanzheng College. Apart from being loyal to Chen Ziang, they are also under 30 years old and have military merits, so the conditions are quite harsh.
Before Dong Hao became the trainee banner battalion commander, he was just an ordinary thousand-man general under the Second Army of the Qinghe Army.
He left his post to go to Zhanzheng College for further studies. At that time, he still felt that he would miss many opportunities to make meritorious deeds by staying away from the battlefield, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
It's just that Chen Ziang personally issued the order at that time. Although they wanted to stay on the battlefield, they finally carried out the order resolutely and went to Zhanzheng College for further studies.
Dong Hao and the others started learning from the most basic literacy and hyphenation in the War College, and gradually learned various military theories of war, and they also maintained strict military training in the barracks.
After studying at the Zhanzheng Academy like a devil, Dong Hao and the others seemed to have been reborn, and they had a deeper understanding of how to command operations.
Compared with the past when they only knew how to lead their brothers to charge, Dong Hao and the others now prefer to direct the battle rather than take the lead in the charge.
Dong Hao used to be just a general with thousands of soldiers. Now after he came out of Zhanzheng College, he was appointed as a trainee banner battalion commander. It can be said that he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
Commanding 1,000 Qinghe Army brothers to fight, and commanding 5,000 Qinghe Army brothers to fight, is not just a matter of quantity.
Because the Banner Camp is already a separate combat unit of the Qinghe Army's Second Corps, it needs to undertake independent combat capabilities.
When they need it, they have to collect intelligence by themselves, formulate their own battle plans, and carry out the tasks assigned by their superiors.
Dong Hao has also evolved from an order executor to an order maker, and now he is still quite uncomfortable.
After all, the lives of more than 5,000 brothers under his command are in his hands. Any negligence may lead to the annihilation of his entire army and cause irreparable consequences.
This time, Dong Hao led his banner battalion to prepare to wipe out part of the forward troops of the Southern Army in the middle, and he had done a lot of work before.
They not only sent more than a dozen scout teams to collect intelligence, but also determined the strength of the southern army, the surrounding terrain, and the enemy's situation.
At the same time, they chose to do it now because the more than 1,500 Southern Army soldiers are now about 20 miles away from their rear guard, and they are already advancing alone.
So Dong Hao decided to seize the opportunity and try to eliminate this southern army within a few hours and fight a good battle.
At this moment, Dong Hao saw that the soldiers of the Southern Army in the town were indeed not vigilant at all, so his hanging heart was relieved.
Dong Hao retracted his head behind the town wall, beckoned to the back, and several thousand generals came in front of him.
"This battle is the first battle since the establishment of our 20th Banner Regiment. The head of the Banner Regiment has high hopes for us, and we will wipe out the enemy at all costs!"
Dong Hao looked at the five thousand generals gathered around him, and lowered his voice to emphasize the importance of this battle to them again.
The 20th Banner Regiment was originally composed of two veteran banner battalions each drawn from Zhou Ba's First Banner Regiment and Li Changqing's Guards Banner Regiment.
It's just that Zhou Ba's first banner regiment was too far away at that time, so the 20th banner regiment was formed from two banner battalions drawn from the Jinwei Banner regiment and two banner battalions from the local security department.
In Dong Hao¡¯s banner camp, two thousand-man teams belonged to the Guards Banner Regiment, and the other three thousand-man teams?It is reorganized from the local security forces, and its combat effectiveness is slightly weaker.
"According to the plan!"
Dong Hao, the trainee banner battalion commander, knew that now was not the time to speak, so after emphasizing one sentence, he gave an action order.
? According to their pre-war plan, the first and second thousand people will serve as the main attack, the third and fourth thousand people will be responsible for intercepting the fleeing enemies, and the fifth thousand people will serve as the reserve team.
Following the order of Dong Hao, the battalion commander of the trainee flag, the first and second thousand people with the strongest combat effectiveness will wave their hands, and they will stick to the base of the wall and move towards the town.
In addition, the third and fourth thousand troops were deployed from the left and right wings to form an encirclement circle around the town to prevent the enemy from fleeing.
The two brothers of the thousand-man team who sneaked into the town against the wall were both drawn from the Guards Banner Regiment and had also been on the battlefield, so they were no strangers to the battlefield.
It's just that most of the time they were guarding the base camp of Yunxi Mansion. Now that they were on the battlefield, they were inevitably a little nervous. The closer they were to the Southern Army soldiers around the fire, the more their breathing became short of breath.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and a soldier of the Southern Army who was too drunk stood up unsteadily, and saw the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who had entered the range of the light of the fire.
The red-faced Southern Army soldier was also taken aback for a moment, his head was in a daze, and he hadn't reacted for a while.
"kill!"
After the 1,000th general of the Qinghe Army exchanged glances with the Southern Army soldier, he roared angrily, and strode forward with a sharp saber in his hand.
The southern army around the fire heard the sudden roar, and turned their heads one after another, just in time to see Qianren chop off the heads of their companions with one knife.
"The bandits, the bandits!"
The Confederate soldiers by the fire got up in a hurry to grab their weapons.
However, they have not encountered effective resistance from the Qinghe Army in the past few days, and now they have drunk too much, so their reactions are a little slow.
A soldier of the Confederate Army had just touched his saber, and before he could pull the saber out of its sheath, he felt a pain in his chest, and a sharp spear had pierced him through. .
"ah!"
A ten-man general of the southern army reacted quickly, blocking a knife that was slashing at him with a knife.
But in the next moment, he was kicked and flew backwards, and smashed into the fire, sparks flew all over the place, and he screamed loudly from the hot coals.
"Press it up, be fast!"
In the blink of an eye, the brothers of the Qinghe Army chopped down more than twenty Southern Army soldiers surrounding the bonfire.
Like a whirlwind, the two thousand men and their wolves and tigers headed for the depths of the town. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
