    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 873

    All the provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty were full of smoke, starvation was everywhere, and every inch of land was filled with killing and blood.

    ?Compared to the various forces that conquer each other, the territory of the Qinghe Army is relatively calm.

    After the Qinghe Army launched a fierce retaliation against the rebels, it also made all forces aware of the Qinghe Army's style of retribution.

    Unless they have to, they don't want to be enemies with the Qinghe Army. After all, the Qinghe Army has grown into an existence that they have to treat with caution.

    ? When the Qinghe Army was weak at the beginning, they dismissed the Qinghe Army, and the court also focused on suppressing the Qinghe Army.

    But now the Qinghe army has strong soldiers and horses, and its strength has increased rapidly, so they look at the Qinghe army in a different way.

    Just like a saying goes, those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be the princes. Now the Qinghe Army has changed from quantitative to qualitative, and has become the latter.

    The current situation of the rebels is quite bad. Although it seems that they are still strong and strong, they are actually surrounded by enemies.

    The Qinghe Army has not yet had the strength to sweep all the forces, so all parties conquer each other, and it is in the current interests of the Qinghe Army to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

    Chen Zi'ang didn't intend to continue to add insult to injury, because if the joint forces of all parties wiped out the rebels, then they would have to face all forces directly.

    Whether facing the wolf cavalry in the north or the army of the imperial court, their Qinghe army is not ready yet.

    So now Chen Ziang's intention is very simple, that is to let the rebels and them continue to consume and continue to fight, while the Qinghe Army seizes the time to develop and grow, so as to accumulate strength and prepare for the fight for the world.

    "In terms of military affairs, our top priority is to end the fighting in Dongjiang Province as soon as possible and completely control Dongjiang Province."

    Following the dismissal of General Song Yu of the Southern Army, his troops in Yunshan Province were also successively recruited and surrendered by the Qinghe Army.

    After all, their chiefs have all been dismissed, and the Southern Army is also torn apart, surrounded by the Qinghe Army.

    In order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, their only option was to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Qinghe army.

    With the southern troops in Yunshan being forced to surrender one after another, the Qinghe Army has completely controlled the prefectures and counties in Yunshan Province.

    Currently, Miao Zheng, chief executive officer of Yunshan Province, and a group of officials are busy cleaning up the mess after the war and resuming production.

    ?Continuous wars have devastated the people in Yunshan Province, and the people's livelihood is in decline, so Miao Cai and the others are also quite busy and hard.

    With the integration of Yunshan Province into the territory controlled by the Qinghe Army, only the Dongjiang Province remained in the southern part of the Far Eastern Dynasty.

    As long as Dongjiang Province is captured, several provinces in the Qinghe Army-controlled area will be able to join together.

    In the south, Yunshan Province, Dongjiang Province and Jiangnan Province are all areas with fertile land and abundant rainfall.

    As long as the Qinghe Army can operate well for a year or two, these provinces are enough to provide a steady stream of food, taxation and soldiers, further enhancing the strength of the Qinghe Army.

    It's just that the situation in the Dongjiang Province is quite complicated now. The Qinghe Army, the Southern Army, the rebels and the self-reliant civilian army are fighting together, and the entire Dongjiang Province has become a battlefield.

    Although the Qinghe Army had two field regiments with 100,000 troops in the Dongjiang Province, it was difficult to form an overwhelming advantage in the face of the complicated battle situation.

    The southern army is a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. Their rapid expansion has weakened the combat effectiveness of the army, but there are many people.

    Even many of their armies are armed with sharpened bamboo, and the situation of the rebels is similar.

    In order to keep their territory as much as possible and strengthen their strength, the rebels in Dongjiang Province and the generals of the Southern Army are expanding their troops without any scruples.

    Almost all the young and strong in their control area were pulled into the army by them. These cannon fodders were not effective in combat, but they also caused a lot of trouble for the Qinghe army.

    Because when it comes to the battlefield, these people rush forward like a tide, even if the Qinghe army is elite, the casualties are not small.

    Now the Qinghe army is implementing a strategy of suppressing and appeasement in Dongjiang Province, and on the one hand, it is actively launching an offensive.

    At the same time, they also sent the old general Wang Cheng to run around in various southern armies to persuade them to surrender.

    Veteran General Wang Cheng used to be a veteran of the Southern Army and had a high prestige. With his active efforts, he recruited many Southern troops.?.

    However, the Southern Army and the rebel army expanded too fast. Even though many people were recruited, the enemy's power was still strong.

    In addition, the province of Dongjiang was originally a food producer, and it was quite rich in the past, with many towns, which indirectly strengthened the enemy's power.

    "The commander-in-chief has issued an order, asking us to end the battle as much as possible before the end of the year."

    In the barracks of the Third Field Army of the Qinghe Army in Dongjiang Province, Yuan Jie, the regiment commander, also summoned the commanders of the banners to convey Chen Ziang's latest instructions.

    "We have fought several battles with the rebels, but they are like lunatics, rushing up desperately. If we continue to attack, the casualties will increase rapidly."

    The troops of Yang Zhong, the head of the Fifteenth Banner, had already started fighting the rebels, but the result made him quite worried.

    The soldiers of the Qinghe Army are well-trained and have strong combat effectiveness, which is their biggest advantage.

    But they also have a disadvantage, that is, they don't have many troops, and a banner regiment only has 20,000 troops.

    And the rebels who fought against them often dispatched 50,000 to 60,000 people, crushing them in terms of numbers.

    The Qinghe army was able to defeat the rebels with close cooperation, but there was no way to completely eliminate them.

    It only takes a few days for the rebels to make a comeback again, with more troops than before.

    After several fights, the Qinghe army died a lot, but the rebels fought more and more, which made Yang Zhong and the others exhausted, feeling as if the enemy could not finish killing them.

    Moreover, these rebels didn't know what kind of curse they had been given, and they fought desperately when they arrived on the battlefield.

    Their weapons were simple, they did not have uniform military uniforms, and even the old, weak, women and children went into battle, completely like a mob.

    At the beginning, the brothers of the Qinghe Army still felt compassionate, and even refused to do anything to the old and weak who were mixed in the rebel camp.

    However, the opponents were all desperate, and after the Qinghe army suffered a loss, they had to put away their compassion.

    But after all, what they beheaded were the young men who were threatened by the rebels. After every battle, they felt quite uncomfortable in the face of the battlefield full of corpses.

    It is precisely because of this that the Qinghe Army slowed down its offensive pace, instead persuading surrender and focusing on siege.

    After all, the rebel army has a large number of people, and they need to consume a lot of food and fodder every day. With the strength of the rebel army, it is absolutely difficult to support them.

    Now the Qinghe army is besieging many towns instead of directly attacking them, eventually forcing the rebels inside to come out and surrender after running out of food.

    However, although this method can avoid reducing casualties, it also makes them advance quite slowly.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
