"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 763
"It seems that the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army can't hold on anymore."
? Yang Zhong, head of the 22nd Banner, had a smile on his face when he learned that the Southern Army was showing signs of retreating westward.
These days, they are gradually encroaching on the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army, consuming the vitality of the Southern Army.
Now almost all the main force of the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army has been squeezed into an area within less than twenty miles of Fengshui County, Dongjin Prefecture.
The Qinghe Army practiced accumulating small victories into big victories. In small-scale battles, the combat effectiveness of the recruits of the 22nd Banner Regiment has also improved significantly after being honed by blood and fire.
"Immediately summon the battalion commanders and chiefs of staff of all banners to discuss matters in the big tent."
The Fourth Corps of the Southern Army is the fat on his lips. Yang Zhong naturally didn't want him to fly away, so he decided to arrange it in advance.
The four banner battalion commanders and four chiefs of staff quickly rushed to the headquarters of the 22nd Banner Regiment.
"Everyone, the enemy is exhausted now, and there are signs that they want to flee west."
Yang Zhong saw the eight banner and battalion-level officers sitting upright, and first gave a briefing on the battle situation.
"Master Banner Leader, we must not let them escape!"
"I've been making small fuss these days. The brothers have long wanted to go up and fight them. Master Banner, please give an order. Our No. 1 Banner Battalion is willing to be the vanguard!"
Although the 22nd Banner Regiment was reorganized by drawing soldiers from the security forces of Jiangbei Province, most of the officers were drawn from other field forces.
Except for one of the four banner battalion commanders who was transferred from the captain of the security force, the other three were all promoted from the main force of the 12th Banner Regiment and the Guard Banner Regiment.
Before they served as banner battalion commanders, they were only generals of thousands of people, and they wanted to show their strengths and ambitions in their new positions.
However, Yang Zhong, the head of the banner regiment, was unwilling to confront the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army head-to-head. Instead, he made small troubles and gradually encroached. They also had a lot of discussions in private, thinking that Yang Zhong was cowardly.
After all, although Yang Zhong followed Chen Ziang in the past, he did not participate in the campaign against Jiangbei Province and Jiangnan Province, nor did he have any achievements in battle, which naturally made people despise him.
Now although these banner battalion commanders respect Yang Zhong on the surface, they are actually not very convinced by Yang Zhong.
"Although we have gradually nibbled and wiped out some enemies these days, the enemy's strength still exists. If we fight rashly, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. It is not worthwhile. Therefore, we must adopt sheep-hunting tactics to reduce casualties."
Seeing the fighting spirit of the people, Yang Zhong, the head of the banner, pressed his hands down to stop their shouting.
"It is more than three hundred miles from Dongjin Mansion to Jiang'an Mansion. If the Southern Army wants to retreat westward, it is most convenient to take the main road."
"We only need to harass them from the two wings and chase them from behind, so that they can't sleep at night and can't eat every day. It only takes three to five days, and they will definitely become exhausted soldiers. When the time comes, we can concentrate our efforts to eliminate them, and we can reduce the casualties of our army. .¡±
? Yang Zhong served as the head of the banner for the first time and led an army of 20,000 to fight. In addition to wanting to make meritorious service, he also wanted to walk on thin ice and did not want to lose the battle, so he adopted the safest way of fighting.
"Now that the southern army has become a trapped beast, why should we waste time, as long as we fight forward, we can wipe them out in Fengshui County."
After hearing Yang Zhong's combat idea, Geng Biao, the commander of the First Banner Battalion, immediately put forward a rebuttal.
"Trapped animals are the most dangerous. If they die, the casualties of the brothers will increase greatly, so it is better to implement the tactic of driving sheep." Yang Zhong rejected Geng Biao's opinion.
"If Master Banner is greedy for life and afraid of death, he might as well just go home and forget about it. What kind of war is he fighting?"
Geng Biao looked down on Yang Zhong, who was appointed as the head of the banner without any military achievements, from the bottom of his heart, so his words were less respectful.
After hearing Geng Biao's words, Yang Zhong, the head of the banner, also looked down. Geng Biao didn't take him so seriously, which made Yang Zhong feel upset.
"There is no need to discuss this matter again. I will ask the chief of staff, Mr. Zheng, to announce the specific combat missions of each banner battalion."
Yang Zhongqiang suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and after taking a look at Geng Biao, he asked Zheng Song, the chief of staff, to make the proposed battle plan.
After the military affairs meeting was over, the banner battalion commanders and chiefs of staff all filed out. When everyone left, Yang Zhong's face darkened.
"This Geng Biao doesn't take me seriously!"
Yang Zhong slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.
"Master Banner Leader""If you want to be angry, this Geng Biao has this temperament, but he still has two brushes in war. "
Zheng Song, chief of staff, saw Yang Zhong, the head of the banner who was furious, and couldn't help but comfort him.
"I'll go back and teach him well, and ask him to apologize to Lord Banner."
Zheng Song also felt that it was inappropriate for Geng Biao to provoke Yang Zhong in public. As the chief of staff, he was naturally unwilling to discord with the general, so he was willing to do something about it.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with him."
Although Yang Zhong was angry in his heart, he also knew the reason why Geng Biao and others despised him, and that was because of his unworthy military exploits.
? If you messed up your own position because of other people's provocations, you would be in the way of others.
So Yang Zhong took a deep breath and decided to act according to the safe battle plan instead of changing the battle plan just because someone objected.
After all, he is the head of the banner. If he changes the order day and night, he will be despised even more in the future.
Naturally, this small episode that happened within the 22nd Banner Regiment did not affect the southern army's westward withdrawal.
The commander of the 4th Corps of the Southern Army was unwilling to bear the responsibility of retreating without authorization, so he signed an order with the generals, and then he was ready to retreat.
Although the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army is not the elite of the Southern Army's combat order, they are still regular troops.
They used 10,000 troops as the vanguard of the retreat, and were responsible for clearing obstacles on the way to retreat.
At the same time, he ordered a veteran to lead 10,000 soldiers as the rear guard, responsible for breaking the rear and preventing the pursuers.
The commander of the Fourth Corps personally sits in the Chinese army, and with the Chinese army are the wounded, the supply troops, and the captured trophies.
The Fourth Corps of the Southern Army retreated in three echelons, and the order of the retreat was also orderly, without the slightest confusion of fleeing westward in haste.
After Yang Zhong, head of the 22nd Banner of the Qinghe Army, learned that the Southern Army had begun to retreat, he went to the battlefield in person as always, watched the Southern Army's retreating team from a distance, and couldn't help giving the Southern Army a high look.
Although the southern army was eaten away by them a lot, their physical strength and energy were not as good as before, but they still maintained their combat effectiveness.
If he rushed to the decisive battle now, he might suffer a big loss. Fortunately, he adopted the tactic of driving sheep.
"The order will go on, and the ministries will act according to the plan."
Yang Zhong looked at the Southern Army troops retreating in an orderly manner, and gave the order to attack.
The first to attack the southern army was the troops of the 1st Banner Battalion of the 22nd Banner Regiment. They rushed forward like a tide, looking like they were about to fight a decisive battle.
The Southern Army had just left Fengshui County, and when they saw the Qinghe Army rushing towards them, they immediately stopped marching, and instead lined up on the spot to prepare for the battle.
"They finally dared to confront us head-on, this time we must kill them!"
Seeing the Qinghe Army rushing up like a tide, the soldiers of the Southern Army all showed ferocious expressions.
They have been harassed very much these days, but the Qinghe army adopted the tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and advancing, which made the southern army itch with hatred, but the Qinghe army could not do anything about it.
Now they finally used the guise of retreat to lure the Qinghe army out for a decisive battle, and they decided to vent their anger. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
