When the generals of the Southern Army saw the Qinghe Army troops in formation in the mist, some of them were excited, while others were solemn, with various expressions.
Major General Luo Jing stared at the Qinghe Army's formation slowly moving towards the two wings, his cold eyes filled with bloodthirsty fighting intent.
A small unit of the Qinghe Army has been harassing around them, which can be said to be extremely annoying for the Southern Army.
Luo Jing also ignored the small group of Qinghe Army troops who harassed them, and led the army in the middle to attack and advance all the way, attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold, like no one in the land.
What Luo Jing didn't expect was that they encountered the main force of the Qinghe Army in the Blue River Plain.
"Major General, there are many bandits, and they seem to be their main force."
A general of the southern army looked away from the strict and cold Qinghe army formation, and analyzed.
"It's really hard to find anywhere, and it doesn't take much effort to get here. If you meet the main force of the bandit army here, then you must not let them go!" Major General Luo Jing spoke with excitement.
The Central Route Army led by Luo Jing occupied many towns along the way, but the gains were not many.
If they were able to wipe out the main force of the Qinghe Army on the Blue River Plain, it would be a great achievement and clear the way for the recovery of Jiangnan Province.
Although Luo Jing was very puzzled about how the main force of the Qinghe army would appear here, since he met them, he naturally had no reason to let them go.
But what Luo Jing didn't know was that the Blue River Plain was the decisive battlefield chosen by the Qinghe Army, and they were already waiting here for Luo Jing and the others.
"Pass my military order, line up to fight!"
Luo Jing suddenly raised his right hand and shouted loudly.
"Major General, the thieves are setting up their formations to fight us decisively, and they must rely on something. We must not underestimate the enemy."
Seeing that Luo Jing was about to fight the Qinghe army here, a mature and prudent veteran spoke to persuade him with a solemn expression.
"Deputy General Zhang, why do you want to build up the ambition of the bandit army and destroy your own prestige?"
A young general couldn't help but sarcastically before Luo Jing could speak.
"I'm afraid that Vice General Zhang was frightened by the bandit army when he was in Tongshan Mansion?" Another young general said in a strange way.
"Ha ha ha ha¡¡"
The surrounding generals let out a burst of mocking laughter, which made the persuading veteran clench his fists and glared at these people.
It's just that these young generals are Luo Jing's direct descendants. Although he was angry in his heart, considering Luo Jing, a major general, he didn't want to get angry.
"General Zhang doesn't have to worry. The bandit army is still a mob after all. Our southern army is well-trained and well-equipped. It is more than enough to deal with them."
This veteran was sent by his father to assist him, so when Luo Jing saw his face flushed, he also gave him a step down.
"Strive to wipe out the bandit army all morning, and drink celebration wine at night!"
After Luo Jing took a deep breath, he shouted loudly.
"The major general is mighty!"
"Annihilate the bandits and drink celebration wine!"
After hearing Major General Luo Jing's words, the surrounding southern army generals all clamored excitedly.
"Ang woo¡ª¡ª"
The high-pitched and bright horn sounded, and the mighty soldiers of the Southern Army also slowly moved towards the two wings amidst the sound of the horn, and the diffuse mist also stirred up.
"Pass down the order, we must fight to the death today and wipe out the enemy!"
Surrounded by all the generals, Yuan Jie, the head of the Qinghe Army Corps, stared at the slowly unfolding Southern Army array, and gave orders in a cold voice.
The rapid sound of horseshoes moved towards the two wings, and the orderly with the command flag behind him passed Yuan Jie's order to each banner battalion one by one.
This time, in order to eliminate the Southern Army's central troops from the front, Yuan Jie, the head of the regiment, assembled the 12th Banner Regiment of the Infantry, the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry, the 20th Banner Regiment of the Infantry, and the 21st Banner Regiment of the Infantry under his command. There are a total of 18 banner battalions including troops, with a strength of more than 80,000.
And their opponent, the southern army's central troops under the command of Luo Jing, had captured many towns and needed to divide their troops to guard them.
So now Luo Jing actually only has more than 50,000 troops in his hands, and the Qinghe Army can be said to have an absolute advantage.
Yuan Jie chose to have a decisive battle with the southern army's central troops on the Blue River Plain, and at the same time, it would be beneficial for their cavalry troops to exert their combat effectiveness.
The war has not yet begun, and the scout rangers on both sidesThere was already a chase and fight around the battlefield, and people kept screaming and chasing and falling off their horses.
Faint enough that the smell of blood permeates, adding a bit of chilling atmosphere to the tense and solemn battlefield.
Major General Luo Jing is under the command of the elite troops of the Southern Army, and the stories of many meritorious troops have to be told from the founding of the Far East Dynasty.
After being passed down from generation to generation, although these meritorious troops are not as brave as their predecessors, they still have fierce blood flowing in their bones.
Behind the major general Luo Jing, countless soldiers with stern faces stood like javelins. They wore skull masks, and they looked ferocious and fierce, which made people shudder.
The Skeleton Battalion under Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan won after fighting to the death with Yang Hao's Tiger and Leopard Battalion, and the status of the elite Skeleton Battalion is also rising.
Countless elite soldiers and sophisticated equipment were added to the Skeleton Battalion, making this unit more than 15,000 troops, making it a top-ranked ace unit of the Southern Army.
This time, in order to allow his son to make meritorious service and accumulate prestige, Zhennan General Luo Mingyuan also transferred 10,000 soldiers of the Skeleton Battalion to Luo Jing's command.
The reason why Luo Jing didn't pay attention to the strong Qinghe army was that he had confidence.
His 10,000 elite Skeleton Battalion soldiers are more fierce and powerful than the regular Southern Army, and this is his greatest reliance.
The Southern Army quickly set up its formation on the west side of the Blue River Plain. One after another, the fortified army formations stood in the wilderness, with swords and guns like forests, and banners flying.
On the east side about two miles away from them, the Qinghe army also set up one after another fortified army formations. These army formations were like thick mountains, exuding a murderous aura soaring to the sky.
Dong Hao, the trainee flag battalion commander of the Qinghe Army, held a sharp saber in his hand, and also stood in the army formation, staring at the southern army in the distance, with a tense face and an inexplicable nervousness in his heart.
Although Dong Hao is also a battle-tested veteran, this is the first time he has set up a formation to confront so many enemies, and he is still an apprentice banner battalion commander.
Due to its weak strength, the Qinghe Army, under the leadership of Chen Ziang, would not confront the enemy head-on most of the time, but relied on various means to continuously nibble and destroy the enemy.
Although Chen Ziang's tactics can effectively preserve himself and destroy the enemy, when the number of enemies reaches a certain number and there is not much room for them to maneuver, they will easily fall into a passive state.
It's like a duel between a man with embroidered fists and a martial arts master. No matter how many dazzling tricks the man with embroidered fists uses, the master of martial arts can often put him to death with a single punch. This is the difference in strength.
What the Qinghe army lacks is the experience of fighting with large corps, and lack of head-to-head battles with the enemy, so this time the large corps coordinated operations.
Chen Ziang has always cherished every soldier, hoping to achieve the greatest victory with the least casualties.
However, he also requires every officer and soldier to have the courage to draw his sword and fight hand-to-hand when facing a strong enemy, because this is the most basic quality and ability of an army. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
