"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 736
"Wake up, wake up¡ª"
In a field not far from Yangjia Town, in a leeward tent, a Southern Army scout was pushing his sleeping companion.
"What's wrong?"
After being pushed awake, several Southern Army scouts who were sleeping soundly looked at their companions on guard at night with sleepy eyes, with some displeasure on their faces.
"There is a situation in Yangjia Town."
The Southern Army scout who was in charge of the night guard said with a solemn expression.
It was only then that several other scouts noticed that the fire in the direction of Yangjia Town could be vaguely seen through the tent.
They climbed out of the tent and looked in the direction of Yangjia Town. When they saw the flames soaring into the sky, they also realized that something was wrong.
"The outpost team led by General Wang Ying camped in Yangjia Town tonight, did they encounter the bandit army?" A southern army scout guessed.
"Come on, let's touch it and have a look."
The leading scout captain of the Southern Army couldn't see clearly the situation in the distance, and he didn't feel sleepy at the moment. He called a few scouts to pack up the tent and climbed on the horse tied to the side.
Several provinces in the south are grain-producing areas, and the land is quite precious, so there is no pasture for raising horses, so there is a considerable shortage of war horses in the south.
There are no organized cavalry units in the troops of the Southern Army, only some scout cavalry in each regiment.
In the past when there was no war, the task of these scout cavalry was to deliver errands for the generals and serve as guards for appearance.
It wasn't until the outbreak of the war that the scout teams of the Southern Army returned to the homepage and began to take on the duties of spying on the enemy and shielding the battlefield.
Although the scout cavalry of the Southern Army is not as good as the scout cavalry of the Qinghe Army, they are also carefully selected elites.
The surrounding villages and towns are dotted and quite dense, but their scouts still choose to camp in the wild with a wide view.
Once someone approaches them, they will be able to detect it in advance and make corresponding countermeasures.
But now they saw the skyrocketing fire in Yangjia Town in the distance in the wild, because of the wide field of vision.
These scouts rode their horses and galloped towards Yangjia Town. When they arrived at Yangjia Town, they saw that many buildings in Yangjia Town were burning, and there were many bloody buildings scattered outside the town. corpse.
Seeing this scene, these scouts all became extremely dignified, and drew out their swords one after another, raising their vigilance.
"Look around to see if there are any survivors."
The scout captain didn't get off his horse, he gave orders to several scouts Qingqi, and they started investigating in different directions.
The infantry of the Qinghe Army attacked the forward part of the Southern Army camped in Yangjia Town, and almost wiped out the enemies here.
After completing the task, the Qinghe army evacuated here after a simple search, without even cleaning the battlefield.
The scouts and light cavalry of the Southern Army circled around the town. After not finding any enemies, they calmed down a little, got off their horses and entered the town to search.
The burning flames of thunderbolts are everywhere, and the beams and thatch of many houses have been burned clean, leaving only the blackened walls.
The scouts and light cavalry carried their sabers, carefully stepped over the corpses everywhere, and searched the town.
They searched around but found no one alive, but they still found the corpses of the king battalion general of the Southern Army and more than a dozen officers of various ranks in a courtyard.
The battalion-level organic strength of the Southern Army is about 5,000 people, but in fact, officers at all levels are paid one after another, resulting in a serious shortage of troops in each unit.
The elite main force of the Southern Army is okay. Basically, each battalion can maintain a strength of 4,000 to 5,000 troops, and there is not a big gap.
However, for some other troops that are not considered the main force, the gap in their strength is quite large, and they are almost not fully staffed.
The field battalion-level troops of the Southern Army that encountered the Qinghe Army's surprise attack in Yangjia Town should have four to five thousand troops.
But in fact, their strength is only more than 1,500 people, and the other gap is that after the reduction in the previous battles, they did not make up for it, and the officers ate up their salaries.
But even so, they can still be regarded as a battalion-level field force of the Southern Army.
But now the entire army has been wiped out in Yangjia Town, and the scouts of the Southern Army who discovered the situation all looked very solemn.
The information they received showed thatIt indicated that the main force of the Qinghe Army was going to stop their attacking troops on the North Road.
In the direction of progress in the middle, there should be no large Qinghe army, but now they have a battalion-level force that has been wiped out.
"Go, go back!"
Looking at the corpses everywhere and the burning town, the scout captain didn't dare to neglect, and quickly returned with a few scout Qingqi to report at the fastest speed.
These Southern Army scout Qingqi first arrived at the forward camp twenty miles away, and reported the situation to the forward general.
Then they hurried to the main force to report the situation to Commander Luo Jing.
The main force of the Southern Army led by Luo Jing marched in the middle of the night and stopped to rest. Many soldiers did not set up their tents, and directly lit a bonfire by the side of the road, and lay down beside the fire to camp wrapped in marching blankets.
Fortunately, the weather has gotten warmer, and it is the Southern Army area, so they camped in the open air, and there will be no chance of freezing to death or frostbite.
The scout cavalry galloped all the way, and the rumble of horseshoes woke up the Confederate soldiers who were sleeping by the roadside, causing a lot of curses.
"We have an urgent military situation to report to the major general!"
The scouts searched all the way and found Major General Luo Jing's tent, and shouted from a long distance away.
Luo Jing, a major general, wanted to lead the army this time because he also wanted to make meritorious deeds and establish prestige.
That's why he led the troops to march impatiently. If he was not so sleepy, the team would have to travel overnight.
"What, a battalion of the vanguard was wiped out in Yangjia Town?"
Major General Luo Jing yawned and summoned the travel-worn scout captain. He was shocked when he heard the news.
"You will lose your head if you lie about the military situation!"
Luo Jing was shocked, but also skeptical about this information, because the information he got was that there was no large-scale activity of Qinghe Army troops in the middle road.
"Major General, we have seen with our own eyes that General Wang's troops were indeed wiped out. If there is any false report, we are willing to be punished." The scout captain assured, patting his chest.
"Okay, let's go down."
Luo Jing saw that the scout captain didn't seem to be lying, so he believed it at this moment.
"Quickly summon the commanders and generals of the various armies to discuss matters."
Luo Jing didn't feel sleepy at the moment, after all, it was his first time to lead an army alone, and a battalion-level field force was completely annihilated, which was too embarrassing.
When Luo Jing convened the generals who were also sleep-deprived to discuss matters, General Vanguard had already led 10,000 elite southern troops to Yangjia Town.
When the vanguard general saw the burned ruins of Yangji Town and the corpses everywhere, his face was ashen. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
