    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 820

    "My lord, my army can't last long with food and fodder. Even if I return to defeat the southern army and take back Xingshui Mansion, I'm afraid there will be nothing to eat."

    Wu Feng, chief of staff, did not expect the situation to take a turn for the worse, and had to face up to these upcoming problems.

    "Yingshan Mansion and Nanling Mansion are still in our hands, and we can go there to collect grain at that time." Yang Hao said.

    "My lord, Yangcheng Mansion in the north has already fallen. If I estimate correctly, the bandit army is now on its way to Nanling Mansion."

    "We only have less than 2,000 defenders in Nanling Mansion. I'm afraid we can't stop the attack of the bandits."

    "And once the bandits occupy Nanling Mansion, they will continue to go south to attack our Yingshan Mansion, and the southern army that occupied Xingshui Mansion may also go north to attack our Yingshan Mansion."

    "Facing the attack from the northern and southern armies, it is only a matter of time before Yingshan Mansion falls."

    After hearing some analysis from Chief of Staff Wu Feng, Commander Yang Hao realized the seriousness of the problem.

    Their troops are now far away from Pingyong Mansion. Even if they want to rescue them, they will not be able to quench their thirst.

    Thinking that the Xingshui Mansion, Yingshan Mansion, Nanling Mansion and Yangcheng Mansion that they took down with great difficulty would be occupied by the enemy, Yang Hao felt aggrieved and panicked.

    This time they originally held the initiative in the war, but who would have thought that the Pingyong Mansion did not take it back, but even the rear was not secured.

    "Commander, our plan for the present is to either capture Pingyong Mansion as soon as possible, or divert to Lingchuan Mansion, otherwise the army will run out of food and fodder, and then we will be passive."

    Although the situation has deteriorated, for Yang Hao and the others, it is not the end of the mountain.

    "Pingyong Mansion is heavily guarded by bandits, and I'm afraid they won't be able to take it down for a while." Yang Hao sighed.

    Chief of Staff Wu Feng also said: "If we can't take Pingyong Mansion in a short time, then for the present plan, we can only be invincible after we go to take down Lingchuan Mansion and seize the food and fodder of the bandit army."

    "That's the only way to go."

    Yang Hao also knows that if the army has no food and fodder, the army will collapse soon, so he knows the importance of food and fodder.

    "Departure tomorrow, to Lingchuan Mansion."

    Although Yang Hao was extremely reluctant, he had no choice but to give up returning to the rear and lead the army to find food first.

    At dawn the next day, someone from the direction of Nanling Mansion reported that Nanling Mansion had been attacked by a large group of Qinghe troops and had been occupied.

    After hearing the news, the commander Yang Hao had already expected it, but secretly scolded the Qinghe Army for being cunning, and then ordered the troops to head towards Lingchuan Mansion.

    On the way, they got another news that Yingshan Mansion was occupied by the Qinghe Army again.

    So far, one of the prefectures and counties behind them fell into the hands of the Southern Army, and three fell into the hands of the Qinghe Army.

    However, because the Qinghe Army and the Southern Army signed an armistice agreement, they tacitly carve up the territory of the rebels, and there was no conflict with each other.

    "The first banner regiment, the second banner regiment follow me to Lingchuan Mansion, and the fourth banner regiment stays at Pingyong Mansion."

    Seeing the rebel army led by Yang Hao leave Pingyong Mansion in mighty force, and rush towards Lingchuan Mansion, which stores a large amount of food and fodder, Deputy Commander Liu Yidao was not idle.  .

    Facing the 40,000 Qinghe Army coming up from behind, the rebel army, which was facing a food shortage at the moment, ignored it at all. They just sent a troop to monitor, and then marched towards Lingchuan Mansion at full speed.

    The rebels who attacked Lingchuan Mansion in the early stage continued to attack for several days, but encountered the tenacious resistance of the defenders of the Fifth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army, and did not take advantage of the slightest advantage.

    The rebel commander who was in charge of attacking Lingchuan Mansion was also overjoyed when he learned that the reinforcements had arrived.

    Because once he has reinforcements, he will be able to launch a new round of offensive, maybe he can take Lingchuan Mansion.

    However, what the rebel commander did not expect was that the reinforcements did not come all the way this time, but the commander Yang Hao led the army to arrive.

    The rebel commander thought that Yang Hao had come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, so he felt uneasy and took the initiative to plead guilty.

    At this moment, Yang Hao already knew that his opponent Qinghe Army was strong, so he didn't blame this general who couldn't defeat Lingchuan Mansion.

    After he inquired about the strength of the Qinghe Army in Lingchuan Mansion, he decided to attack with all his strength the next day.

    ? Yang Hao led the main force of the rebel army to Lingchuan.??, Dong Hao, the head of the Fifth Banner of the Qinghe Army who is guarding here, is also facing a formidable enemy.

    Before the 20,000 rebels arrived to attack, he didn't take the rebels seriously because the enemy was weak and they were strong enough to deal with it.

    But now that the main force of the rebel army came, and he only had two banner battalions in his hand, the pressure suddenly increased.

    Fortunately, the deputy commander Liu Yidao sent someone to deliver a letter to him in time, asking him to stick to the city, and the reinforcements were on the periphery to contain the rebels.

    Dong Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there were 40,000 Qinghe troops on the periphery to contain the rebels.

    However, he still didn't dare to be careless. He lived and boarded on the tower himself, vowing to live and die with Lingchuan Mansion.

    In order to express his determination, Dong Hao even ordered his troops to seal the four city gates with bricks and stones.

    The two banner battalions in the city, the Qinghe Army, could not get out, nor could the common people, and the rebels outside could not get in either.

    The situation of the rebel leader Yang Hao and the others is very bad now. If they can't take down Lingchuan Mansion, they will face the danger of running out of food.

    So this time he was desperate and sent his elite tiger and leopard battalion to the front line as the main force of the attack.

    Soon, Yang Hao's rebels launched a fierce attack on Lingchuan Mansion, which was even more violent than that of Pingyong Mansion.

    All the rebels know that their rear is gone, and if they can't get here, they will starve.

    Therefore, the rebels also jumped up screaming, and the battle was extremely cruel from the beginning.

    Dong Hao's troops guarding Lingchuan Mansion also knew the importance of Lingchuan Mansion, so they fought for every inch of land and refused to give up an inch of land.

    The two sides fought repeatedly around the city of Lingchuan Mansion. At this time, the two sides were not only competing for combat power, but also who had the stronger will.

    The rebels attacked wave after wave, and the fighting continued from morning to evening. The rebels lit torches, but there was still no intention of a truce.

    Liu Yidao, deputy commander of the Qinghe Army on the outskirts, also knew that Lingchuan Mansion was under great pressure, so he led 40,000 troops to spread out and pressed against the rebels.

    Yang Hao had to mobilize part of his army to stop the approaching Qinghe army, and the two sides started a scuffle in the fields and woods.

    For a while, there were shouts of killing everywhere inside and outside Lingchuan Mansion, and the scope of the battle spread to a radius of twenty miles of Lingchuan Mansion.

    Although the rebel troops responsible for blocking the Qinghe army on the outskirts tried their best, the villages and towns they occupied fell one after another.

    In the afternoon of the second day, the troops led by Liu Yidao were less than five miles away from the rebel camp.

    The back was threatened, and the rebel leader Yang Hao also had to withdraw the troops attacking Lingchuan Mansion. He was going to deal with the Qinghe Army on the periphery first, and then turned around to clean up Lingchuan Mansion.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
