"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 897
Chen Ziang took aim at the elite tiger and leopard battalion of the rebel army. He felt that as long as this backbone force of the rebel army was wiped out, the rest of the rebel army would collapse.
After all, most of the rebels came under coercion, and their loyalty to Yang Hao was not high, and many actions were forced.
"The tiger and leopard battalions of the rebels are generally in the formation, so Yang Hao will not use it easily."
Yuan Jie, head of the Third Field Army, stared at the elite Tiger and Leopard Battalion in the distance, knowing that it would not be easy to eliminate them.
Because these elite tiger and leopard battalions are the core force of the rebels, a large number of rebels gathered around them.
Even if the cavalry of the Qinghe Army came out in full force, they would probably be entangled by the rest of the rebels before they could attack.
"Leave a hole in our defense line to attract them." Chen Ziang said.
"Marshal, you mean to show weakness on purpose?"
"Yes, they won't use the Tiger and Leopard Battalion easily, but once there is a gap in our defense line, maybe Yang Hao will send the Tiger and Leopard Battalion to attack and completely defeat us." Chen Ziang judged.
After Yuan Jie heard what Chen Ziang said, he also felt that this plan was feasible, because this was a tactic the rebels had always used.
They often send a large number of threatened rebels to launch crowd tactics to consume their opponents.
And when the opponent was weak, they sent out the elite tiger and leopard battalion to attack, so as to achieve the effect of killing with one blow.
Chen Ziang is on the battlefield, so he can more keenly control the development of the battlefield situation.
He now felt that the rebels had a large number of people. Even if they adopted trench tactics, it would still be difficult to eliminate the rebels. They could only barely block them.
As long as it lasts for ten days and a half months, when the rebels' food and grass are exhausted, it is time for them to fight back.
It's just that now he has discovered a new opportunity. As long as he annihilates the opponent's core Tiger and Leopard Battalion, he may be able to end the battle ahead of schedule.
"What, let us retreat?"
The order was quickly conveyed to the position of the 15th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army on the left wing. Yang Zhong, the head of the banner regiment, was also puzzled.
Because their 15th Banner Regiment can still hold off the rebels with their current combat effectiveness.
They are now playing quite flexibly, advancing and retreating suddenly, relying on the fences of the trenches, and eliminating a large number of rebel forces.
But at this moment, Chen Ziang actually ordered their 15th Banner Regiment to retreat. Even Yang Zhong couldn't think of Chen Ziang's intention even if he tried his best.
Once their 15th Banner Regiment withdraws, the flanks of the 12th Banner Regiment arranged in the center will be exposed, which is a big taboo for military strategists.
If the rebels took advantage of the situation, their entire line of defense would be in danger of collapse, so Yang Zhong had to be cautious.
"Master Yang Qi, this is an order from the commander in person."
"Of course, the commander-in-chief just asked you to pretend to retreat, just retreat a mile."
The liaison officer in charge of conveying the order did not know Chen Ziang's plan, so he could only convey Chen Ziang's order.
"Do you have a warrant from the Marshal?"
Yang Zhong didn't understand the order, so he could only ask the liaison officer for the warrant.
He, the old man who followed Chen Ziang the first time, was regarded as Chen Ziang's direct descendant. He knew that Chen Ziang's purpose of transferring him to the third field army was to prevent the third army from becoming monolithic.
Now when the battle was fierce on the battlefield, Chen Ziang suddenly issued an inexplicable order, and Yang Zhong had to be cautious.
In case someone set him up, if he really retreated and the line of defense collapsed, then he would not only fail Chen Ziang's expectations, but also cause his head to move.
"Commander Yang Qi, what I conveyed was the commander's password, and there is no warrant." The liaison officer shrugged helplessly.
"Since there is no warrant, please forgive me for being difficult to obey." Yang Zhong said with a straight face.
The liaison officer had no choice but to leave in a hurry and reported the situation to Chen Ziang.
"This guy is really real."
Chen Ziang did not expect Yang Zhong to be so cautious. While shaking his head with a smile, he wrote a warrant and stamped it with a big seal before asking the liaison officer to make another trip.
Not long after, the liaison officer returned to the 15th Banner Regiment with Chen Ziang's warrant.
"The seal and handwriting belong to the handsome man."
Zheng Song, chief of staff, looked at the warrant brought back by the liaison officer, carefully?After some investigation, it was determined that this was Chen Ziang's warrant, not a forgery.
?Because when Chen Ziang wrote the warrants with each of their banner groups, there was an agreed code.
In addition to the signature of the warrant to communicate with the 15th Banner Regiment, Chen Zi'ang would order an extra sum.
"Since it is the commander's order, then we will carry it out."
Seeing that it was really Chen Ziang's order, the stone hanging in Yang Zhong's heart fell to the ground.
He was considered an outsider in the Third Field Army, so he had to be more careful to prevent being plotted against.
Yang Zhong was soon ordered by the combat units deployed on the front line to pretend to retreat.
The troops on the front line are fighting the attacking rebels vigorously at the moment. Although they don't know why they have to withdraw, they are determined to carry out the order.
The officers of their banner regiment are all veterans, so the acting is extraordinarily realistic.
They deliberately pretended to run out of arrows, and then pretended to retreat when they couldn't hold on, and pretended to fight back from time to time.
The 15th Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army, which was deployed on the left wing, deliberately showed weakness and retreated. The charging rebels didn't know what they were thinking.
"The bandits have no more arrows!"
"Come on!"
Seeing that the Qinghe army's arrows were weakening, those rebel officers yelled and directed the rebels to jump up.
The rebels had left layers of corpses in front of the Qinghe Army's left-wing defense line, and they were exhausted.
Seeing that the Qinghe army had no more arrows, they breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they took a big stride.
They occupied a large area of ??the Qinghe army in a row, and several Qinghe troops who counterattacked were "repulsed" by them.
"Master Marshal, look, the bandit army on the left wing can't hold on anymore!"
Yang Hao, the right marshal of the rebel army, had been paying attention to the battle situation on the battlefield, when suddenly someone pointed to the left wing and shouted.
Yang Hao looked towards the left wing, and saw a large number of rebels pouring into the Qinghe Army's position, attacking in depth.
At the same time, a large number of troops in the Qinghe Army's central defense line were being transferred to the left flank in an attempt to stabilize the defense line.
After seeing this scene, Yang Hao, the right marshal, showed joy on his face, because he found a fighter.
"The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Battalions of the Tigers and Leopards rushed up to me and tore through the bandit army's left-wing line of defense!"
At this critical moment, Yang Hao will naturally not begrudge his elite. Now is the right time to use good steel on the blade.
As long as their elite troops rush forward and assist the attacking troops to open the gap on the left wing, it will be enough to shake the entire defense line of the Qinghe Army.
"Order the center and the right wing to strengthen the attack, the bandit army is almost unable to hold on!"
? On the battlefield, the horns blared, and one after another new forces entered the battlefield, rushing towards the defense line of the Qinghe Army.
The elite rebels of the four battalions also joined the battlefield on the left. They rushed into the battlefield silently, stepping on blood and corpses, and charged deep into the left-wing defense line. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
