    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 883

    The gray sky hangs over Jingyang Mansion. The city is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. There are dilapidated buildings everywhere, and the blackened walls are still stained with blood.

    Except for the occasional brigade of soldiers in a hurry, there was not a single pedestrian to be seen on the street.

    A few days ago, the rebel army captured Jingyang Mansion in Dongjiang Province, where they carried out brutal killings and plundering.

    Now the Qinghe Army led by Wang Cheng temporarily formed the 16th Banner Regiment, although they temporarily regained the Jingyangfu area, what they regained was a city riddled with holes.

    The people here either died under the butcher knife of the rebels, or fled here long ago.

    The army led by the veteran dynasty took it back in a surprise attack and defeated the rebels who occupied it, but what they got was almost an empty city.

    The Deputy Commander of the Qinghe Army, Yuan Jie, did not order the main force of the Qinghe Army to station here, but asked the temporary 16th Banner Regiment led by Wang Cheng to station here to show his trust in Wang Cheng.

    Wang Cheng, the general of the Southern Army who surrendered to the Qinghe Army, led the provisional 16th Banner Regiment adapted from the Southern Army to capture Jingyang Mansion, and he also wanted to add a lot to his credit book.

    But what he never expected was that he led the army to capture Jingyang Mansion successfully, and he had indeed made a great contribution.

    But now he and the provisional Sixteenth Banner Regiment were set up on the crater to roast, and they were caught in a dilemma.

    The main force of the mighty rebel army has already rushed towards Jingyang Mansion, while the main force of the Qinghe army is still hundreds of miles away.

    In other words, he will lead the provisional 16th Banner Regiment to block the menacing rebels until the reinforcements arrive.

    The provisional 16th Banner Regiment under his command was adapted from the Southern Army that persuaded them to surrender.

    The soldiers of the Southern Army lived in the relatively affluent southern region, and they lacked the spirit of blood and courage to fight bravely, so their combat effectiveness was not very strong.

    ? The Southern Army of the Sixteenth Banner Regiment, which was temporarily reorganized, had more than 50,000 troops before the reorganization.

    Most of the more than 50,000 people were expanded by the order of the Southern King Luo Mingyuan later, so the soldiers have not even experienced a battle, which is equivalent to a mob.

    Wang Cheng persuaded them to surrender, and after taking over this army, he abolished the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, and now there are only 21,000 troops left.

    Currently, the strength of the tentatively organized 16th Banner Regiment is about the same as that of the regular Qinghe Army Banner Regiment, but its combat effectiveness is far worse.

    Because it has just been reorganized, both the soldiers and officers of the tentative Sixteenth Banner Regiment are the same as before.

    Except for the designation of the Qinghe Army, the combat effectiveness has not improved, but has inherited some bad habits of the original Southern Army.

    Veteran Wang Cheng also wanted to rely on this army to make meritorious service, so as to improve his status in the Qinghe army, so he also tried to win over them more.

    For some military discipline, it is temporarily relaxed. He hopes to improve these things step by step, and is worried that if they are too hasty, they will turn to the rebels again.

    After learning that the main force of the rebel army was rushing towards Jingyang Mansion, the generals of the temporary 16th Banner Regiment were also very frightened, and asked to withdraw from Jingyang Mansion to temporarily avoid the limelight.

    They followed Wang Cheng to capture Jingyang Mansion for meritorious service, not for death, so they all wanted to run away with oil on their feet, first of all, to ensure their own lives.

    But Wang Cheng thought differently. They finally won the Jingyang Mansion. If they were scared and retreated, wouldn't their previous efforts be in vain?

    If they tenaciously held the line of defense of Jingyang Mansion and blocked the rebels, they would be able to buy time for the main force behind to assemble, which would be another great contribution.

    Therefore, Wang Cheng, a veteran, also tried his best to reject all opinions and decided to lead the provisional 16th Banner Regiment to defend Jingyang Mansion.

    "Our Southern Army has just joined the Qinghe Army. Compared with their brave and combative banner regiments, because we are newly attached to them, we do not have any status or right to speak."

    "Defending Jingyang Mansion this time is an opportunity. As long as we can defend here, deal a heavy blow to the rebels, and fight a good battle, then no one will dare to underestimate us in the future! Our status in the Qinghe Army will also be greatly improved, everyone.  The days to come will be better!"

    After persuasion by veteran general Wang Cheng, the generals of the temporary 16th Banner Regiment reluctantly agreed to guard Jingyang Mansion together.

    The reason why they surrendered to the Qinghe army instead of the rebels was because they saw the brutality of the rebels and didn't want to be with them.

    And QingheThe army has strict discipline and has given them a lot of promises, so they surrendered to the Qinghe army.

    It's just that what they didn't expect was that the Qinghe Army was facing a fierce battle just after surrendering, which made them curse bad luck in their hearts.

    But they also knew in their hearts that if they won this battle, it would change how others viewed them.

    Their southern army is the most contemptible among the four frontier armies, not only because of military discipline, but also because they have almost no achievements.

    The northern army has been fighting with wolf riders all year round, and has gained a lot. The Zhendong army can also kill pirates and so on, not to mention the Zhenxi army. They are a solid line of defense in the western region.

    Only their Southern Army guarded the granary of the Far Eastern Dynasty, lived a good life, and were almost exhausted.

    It is precisely because the environment in which the southern army lives is too comfortable that their hundreds of thousands of troops are pampered and their combat effectiveness has deteriorated so much that they lost Yunshan Province, Jiangnan Province and Dongjiang Province in a short period of time.

    Now guarding the Jingyang Mansion and defeating the rebels is an opportunity for them to cleanse themselves and prove themselves.

    After making the decision to stick to Jingyang Mansion, the temporary 16th Banner Regiment also got busy.

    They were busy repairing the city wall damaged by the war, and actively moved the thunder stones and logs to the top of the city to prepare for the battle.

    Wang Cheng, the head of the acting banner, also withdrew all the troops scattered in the surrounding counties of Jingyang Mansion.

    Now more than 20,000 people from the Sixteenth Banner Regiment are temporarily guarding Jingyangfu City, preparing to fight the rebels here.

    Wang Cheng, who is over 60 years old, has a high prestige in the southern army, but he seldom goes into battle to command battles in person.

    This time it was also a bold and risky move for him to lead his troops to raid the Jingyang Mansion. Fortunately, the rebel army was not strong enough, so they succeeded.

    As for whether he could defend Jingyang Mansion under the siege of hundreds of thousands of rebels, he really had no idea.

    But he also knows that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and there is no such thing as a free pie in the world.

    Whether it is him or the brothers who have taken refuge here, if they want to be on an equal footing with others in the Qinghe Army, they have to show results, otherwise, they deserve to be looked down upon.

    This battle is not only about their fate and future, but also about the honor of the sixteenth Banner Regiment, and even the honor of all the brothers who have defected to the seventeenth and eighteenth regiments, so this battle is quite important.  importance.

    Wang Cheng, the acting head of the banner, also personally inspected the defense lines of the city wall to ensure that everything was safe. This was related to their lives, so he had to be cautious.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
