"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 767
The 22nd Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army suffered a defeat, lost thousands of soldiers, and suffered heavy losses.
Yang Zhong, the head of the banner regiment, felt quite uncomfortable when he saw the surviving soldiers of the No. 1 and No. 2 Banner Battalions with many scars.
?He wanted to make meritorious deeds and live up to Chen Ziang's expectations of him, but Geng Biao and the others suffered such a defeat, and all previous efforts were in vain.
"Now that we have lost the battle, it is useless for us to blame ourselves. We have to win the battle and atone for our sins."
Zheng Song, the chief of staff, was not in a good mood either. After all, their flag regiment had lost the battle. If the higher-ups blamed him, he, the chief of staff, would not be able to walk around.
Although they wrote a battle report and reported the cause and effect of the incident, no one knew how Chen Ziang would treat and deal with this incident.
"You're right, the battle has already been lost, and we can't change the result even if we blame ourselves."
After hearing the words of Chief of Staff Zheng Song, Yang Zhong also took a deep breath and cheered himself up.
"Although we suffered heavy losses this time, the Southern Army probably suffered a lot." Yang Zhong analyzed.
"As long as we continue to implement the harassment tactics, we will definitely be able to drag down the southern army, drag it out, and then look for an opportunity to annihilate it."
Seeing that although the army was defeated, Yang Zhong was not in a hurry to take revenge, but maintained a calm attitude. Zheng Song, chief of staff, had to admire Yang Zhong a little.
After all, under such circumstances, it is still possible to not get confused. This kind of character is commendable.
"I suggest that on the southern army's marching route, send people to fortify the walls and clear the fields in advance to cut off their supply of food and grass." Zheng Song suggested.
"I agree with this opinion, let's transfer two thousand-man teams from the Fourth Banner Battalion." Yang Zhongdao.
The Southern Army defeated the 22nd Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army on the battlefield, and achieved a lot. It can be said that they were proud for a while.
? These days, the southern army has been harassed by the Qinghe army day and night, which can be said to be extremely annoying.
Every time they sent troops to pursue the Qinghe Army, the Qinghe Army ran faster than rabbits, and the Southern Army hated it but had no choice.
During the day, the southern army finally let out a breath of anger and killed the Qinghe army, so they also held a celebration banquet at night, hacking and killing more than 200 captured Qinghe army soldiers on the spot to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers.
"The thieves have seen how powerful we are, let's see if they dare to provoke again!"
"Hmph, if they come again, one will kill one, and two will kill one pair!"
The Fourth Corps of the Southern Army won the battle, swept away the previous low and decadent atmosphere, and became more motivated to fight.
The atmosphere in the Qinghe Army camp was gloomy that night, while the Southern Army camp was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
However, at dawn the next day, the corps commanders and generals of the Southern Army were woken up by the shrill sirens.
"what happened?!"
The regiment commander of the Southern Army had no time to put on his clothes, and ran out of his tent barefoot.
"The third battalion on the left was attacked by bandits! The bandits have retreated."
Not long after, a thin military officer strode over and reported the situation.
"Are there any casualties?" asked the regiment commander.
"Reporting to the general, a patrol team fought with the rebels, and twenty-one people in the patrol team died."
"Where's the bandit army?"
"They all ran away."
"Damn it!"
The Southern Army had just won a battle yesterday, and thought it had repelled the Qinghe Army.
Who would have thought that the Qinghe army would go and come back again this day, which made the commander of the southern army look bad.
"Pass down the order and step up your guard!"
"No!"
Although the southern army has raised its guard, they are going to march west after all. The troops are marching in four columns, and there are too many weak points.
The attack in the morning seemed to be the prelude to the day's attack. Countless Qinghe troops hiding in the woods, ravines, behind stones, and in the grass launched an unstoppable attack on the southern army.
Sometimes it is a small group of Qinghe Army that directly bites the rear guard of the Southern Army, and sometimes it is a cold arrow that suddenly appears.
The Southern Army fought a big victory yesterday, and they were excited, but now they suddenly realized that they seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest.
?The Qinghe army were those hornets scattered everywhere, swimming around the southern army, pounced on them from time to time and took a bite.
In just one day, the southern army lost more than two hundred people due to cold arrows and other attacks, which made every southern army's nerves extremely tense.
At night, the Southern Army camped in a town on the way, but the people in the town had already fled.
The Confederate Army searched all the rooms and even every cellar in the town, but they did not find a single grain.
Although no food was collected, the southern army didn't care, and their food could last for a few days.
But in the middle of the night, a fire broke out inexplicably in the place where they stored the grain and grass, and all the grain and grass were burned to ashes.
In a rage, the livid-faced commander of the Fourth Corps beheaded the officer guarding the food and grass, but the food was gone, and there was no way to get it back.
When marching on the second day, the head of the Southern Army sent several small groups of troops to collect food from nearby villages.
But until sunset, except for two food collection teams returning empty-handed, several other food collection teams disappeared directly.
"Send someone to look for them, I guess they got lost."
Hearing that several food requisition teams had not returned, the commander of the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army sent scouts to look for them.
The scout rangers also acted responsibly and searched in the direction the food requisition team left, but all they saw were corpses everywhere.
"They must have encountered the evil hands of the bandit army!"
After learning that these food requisition teams had been slaughtered, the commander of the Fourth Corps concluded that the Qinghe Army must have done it.
Although it was known that the Qinghe army did it, the Qinghe army was elusive and no longer fought them head-on, leaving the southern army with strength and nowhere to use them.
"Accelerate the march, there will be food in the next town, and our people will guard it over there."
The Southern Army could survive for a day or two on dry food, so the commander of the Fourth Corps had to order the troops to march overnight.
The southern army marching at night is a living target, and the Qinghe army's attacks are becoming more and more frequent, causing the southern army to suffer considerable losses.
But it was dark, and the southern army didn't dare to chase too far, so they could only vent their anger with curses.
When the Southern Army arrived at the next town exhausted, the hundreds of soldiers they guarded here were killed, and the stored food and grass became ashes.
"The army of thieves is deceiving people too much!"
Seeing the corpses all over the place and the torched grain and grass, the commander of the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army also cursed angrily.
Food became the most scarce thing in the Fourth Corps of the Southern Army, and the commander of the Fourth Corps had to send a grain requisition team to collect food again.
However, as soon as the food requisition team left the camp, they would be attacked by the Qinghe army. After losing a few more food requisition teams, the remaining southern troops were unwilling to go out alone, because no one wanted to die.
The current Southern Army is like a ferocious beast with teeth and claws. Although it looks fierce with its teeth bared, their stomachs are getting smaller and smaller day by day.
Due to the lack of food, the marching speed of the southern army was also getting slower and slower. Many soldiers had to dig grass roots and eat wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
The Southern Army became weaker and weaker, but the Qinghe Army's attacks were still frequent, and more and more soldiers were left behind by the Southern Army.
"The southern army abandoned all the wounded. It seems that they can't hold on anymore. Shall we launch a general offensive?"
Zheng Song, chief of staff, has also been paying attention to the situation of the Southern Army. Seeing that the situation of the Southern Army is deteriorating, his mood gradually improved.
"No, they are still able to use weapons and continue to consume them."
Yang Zhong had suffered at the hands of the Southern Army, and he didn't care about the weakness shown on the surface of the Southern Army. What he needed was that the hungry Southern Army could not move forward.
When Yang Zhong's troops continued to consume the Southern Army and tried to drag them down, the Qinghe Army's Second Army Command's military decision on Geng Biao, the First Banner Battalion Commander of the 22nd Banner Regiment, was also sent to Yang Zhong. hands.
