"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 960
General Du Xiaoniu of the Qinghe Army set off a vigorous operation behind the enemy in Luyang Province, and it has become a trend to siege cities and loot villages.
Although King Ning recruited a group of civilians from other regions, but now facing the chaotic situation, he can only temporarily send these civilians to suppress the rebels in the territory.
After all, once the rear is unstable, food and roads will be affected, as well as the front line.
However, the people that King Ning hastily recruited from other regions were just a group of people who put down their hoes.
But what they were going to deal with was the troops commanded by Du Xiaoniu, which was no different from bumping an egg against a stone.
But now that King Ning's army is on the way back from the front line in Hezhong, King Ning's current available soldiers are also stretched, and he is quite helpless.
Min Zhuang, who was hastily transferred to the western part of the province, was naturally no match for the troops led by Du Xiaoniu, and lost three times in three battles. On the contrary, it made Du Xiaoniu, a general of the Qinghe Army, famous.
When the troops led by Du Xiaoniu were having fun in the western part of Luyang Province, the main force of the Qinghe Army was not idle.
After annihilating more than 100,000 troops of the mighty army in the south of Luyang Province, the morale of the Qinghe Army was also boosted.
After several days of short-term repairs, under the leadership of Li Lang, the front-line commander of the Qinghe Army, the mighty Qinghe Army came out of Yingzui Peak and attacked northward.
The main force of the infantry led by Li Lang marched north along the provincial highway. The 13th Banner Cavalry Regiment led by Deputy Commander Lei Ming was on the right wing, and the Ninth Banner Cavalry Regiment led by Deputy Commander Lu Fatzi was on the left wing.
The three armies marched hand in hand, and the towns along the way had almost no enemies, and they kept falling into the hands of the Qinghe army.
When the Qinghe army attacked the city and looted the village all the way, Long Jun, Prince Ning's son, also arrived at Pengcheng Mansion.
If the Qinghe army goes north to attack the provincial capital, it will inevitably pass through the territory of Pengcheng Mansion, so Long Jun plans to build a line of defense here to slow down the Qinghe army's offensive pace.
After Long Jun arrived at Pengcheng Mansion, he also issued an order to fortify the walls and clear the country, and the people in various villages and towns moved into the nearby county and Pengcheng Mansion one after another.
At the same time, in order to cut off the supply of the Qinghe army to support the war, Long Jun ordered his 10,000 cavalry to implement the scorched earth policy in the territory of Pengcheng Mansion.
Squads of mighty cavalry galloped across the countryside, they burned villages everywhere, and beheaded those people who did not want to move into the city.
Before the Qinghe army reached the territory of Pengcheng Mansion, the place was already filled with black smoke and a mess.
All the livestock and people were driven to Fucheng and the nearby county towns by the mighty army.
? In Long Jun's view, the Qinghe army's biggest weakness was the army's advance of food supplies from the Jiangbei province to attack northward.
As long as he cuts off the source of the Qinghe Army's local supplies, and then sends troops to attack the Qinghe Army's grain road, he will surely be able to curb the Qinghe Army's offensive momentum.
After all, more than 200,000 Qinghe Army marched northward, and the amount of people eating horses and chews every day was an astronomical figure. Once the logistics supply was cut off, the Qinghe Army would collapse without a fight.
I have to say that His Royal Highness Long Jun is not an idiot, he saw the weakness of the Qinghe army at a glance.
However, he wanted to rely on this method to force the Qinghe army to retreat, and he underestimated the Qinghe army.
The Qinghe army also made complete preparations for the army's northward attack on Luyang province.
In the early stage, the Qinghe Army transported a large amount of grain and rice and stored them in the border area of ??Jiangbei Province.
Moreover, there are a large number of civilians registered in the Qinghe Army's control area, and there is no need for the soldiers of the Qinghe Army to transport a steady stream of grain and rice to the front line. The army of rogue nature fought.
What's more, the Qinghe army's ranger scouts are all over the place. Even if the cavalry of the mighty army wants to attack the Qinghe army's grain road, the Qinghe army will know the news as soon as they are dispatched.
All the policies implemented by Long Jun to fortify the walls and clear the fields and scorched earth, except for making the people homeless and attracting the hatred of the people, did not have much impact on the Qinghe Army.
On the one hand, Long Jun was implementing the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields, and implementing the scorched earth policy. On the other hand, he was actively repairing and strengthening the city defenses of Pengcheng Mansion, so as to prepare to stand firm and wait for help.
Originally there were only 3,000 local garrison troops in Pengcheng Mansion, but Long Jun brought in 8,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, which greatly enhanced the defense here.
In the next few days, a large number of defeated soldiers and civilians fled to Pengcheng Mansion.
Long Jun?Because he was hungry, he directly incorporated these defeated soldiers, and incorporated the young and strong among the people into the army on the spot, which also allowed him to use more than 30,000 troops.
After the Qinghe army wiped out more than 100,000 mighty troops, its morale was at its peak.
The cavalry on both wings swept forward and attacked, except for a few difficult places, most places were captured without any effort.
The main force of the Qinghe army led by Li Lang marched northward along the provincial highway. With so many troops marching in mightily, the defenders everywhere almost fled. After all, no one wanted to die.
Therefore, Li Lang and the others went all the way to the territory of Pengcheng Mansion, and almost didn't get any decent battles. It felt like a spring outing.
Fortunately, Li Lang and the others are not in a hurry, because they know that the main force of the mighty army must be speeding up to this side.
Li Lang and the others also inherited Chen Ziang's consistent thinking, that is, they don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, but focus on destroying the enemy's vital strength.
They wiped out more than 100,000 mighty troops under Longze's command, so they easily captured the southern part of the province.
If another part of the main force of the mighty army is eliminated, it will be easy to occupy the entire Luyang Province.
Instead of attacking the city one by one, it is better to slowly wait for the mighty armies from all over the place to gather together, and then wipe them all out. This is the second phase of the Qinghe Army's combat thinking.
The Qinghe army was thinking of a decisive battle, but when they entered the territory of Pengcheng Mansion, Li Lang was still very angry when they saw the towns and villages burned into charred ruins, destroyed fields, and killed livestock along the way.
More importantly, during the scorched earth policy, the Mighty Army even threw some animal corpses into rivers and wells, polluting water sources.
Seeing the rotting animal carcasses soaked in the water, the generals at all levels of the Qinghe Army also cursed the Mighty Army for being despicable and shameless.
But war is war. Facing what the Mighty Army did, Li Lang and the others had no choice but to curse a few words. They could only clean up the corpses, hoping that these water sources could be restored in the future.
Because the water sources visible to the naked eye were polluted by the mighty army, after the Qinghe army set up camp every day, they had to send people to dig wells to fetch water on the spot, which was a great waste of their time.
Even though Long Jun resorted to countless insidious means, they still couldn't stop the advance of the Qinghe Army.
In late March, after clearing several counties around Pengcheng Mansion, the main force of the Qinghe Army led by Li Lang surrounded Pengcheng Mansion with heavy troops.
