"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 981
"I suspect that there is the main force of the bandit army near us."
Long Da withdrew his gaze from the map, and said solemnly.
"Brother, no way, the main force of the bandit army is besieging the provincial capital, how could it be on our side?" Long Shiyi was also full of disbelief.
"Look, we are in this area now, behind is a big river, and further ahead is the provincial capital."
"We are now surrounded by nothing, and there is not even a decent town. It will be bad if the main force of the bandit army attacks us here." Long Da said in a deep voice.
"We have an army of more than one hundred thousand. Even if the main force of the bandit army is coming towards us, how can we still be afraid of them?" Long Qi said indifferently.
Long Wu also opened his mouth and said: "The bandit army's combat power is strong, and they are extremely good at field combat. If they attack with all their strength, we may not be able to stop them."
"Fifth brother, I think you want to boost other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige." Long Qi said dissatisfied.
"Lao Qi, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I just don't want to be a coward."
"Who are you calling a coward?"
"Okay, stop arguing."
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Long Qi saw that Long Da's face was not good-looking, and he didn't bother to argue with Long Wu, so he turned his attention to Long Da.
"The bandit army has been harassing and attacking us since the morning. Even if we abandon our luggage and move forward at full speed, we probably won't be able to reach the provincial capital at night." Long Da looked at the map and said.
Originally, they were only one day away from the provincial capital, so they relaxed their vigilance.
So they didn't pay attention to the attacks of the Qinghe army they encountered along the way, thinking that it was a small group of Qinghe army trying to slow down their pace.
However, as their casualties increased, especially when an unknown number of Qinghe troops appeared in several directions around them, they realized that something was wrong.
Now the mighty army along this road is also caught in a dilemma. If they continue to advance, the surrounding situation is unclear, and the further they go, the more dangerous they will be.
However, once they backed up and crossed the river, although they would be safer, they would be farther away from the provincial capital.
Just when Long Dayi was having a hard time making a decision, suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and an officer of the vanguard troop galloped towards him.
"Report!"
"General, a large number of bandits have been spotted ahead!"
The cavalry officer reined in his horse in front of the hillside where Longda and the others stood, and said loudly.
"how many people?"
"Report to the general, at least 50,000 to 60,000, and a large number of cavalry!"
After hearing what the cavalry officer said, the expressions of the generals gathered around Long Da also sank.
At the beginning of the morning, they encountered thousands of Qinghe troops at most, but now there are 50,000 to 60,000 people blocking the way, which shows that they have indeed encountered the main force of the Qinghe army.
"Long Wu, Long Liu, you lead the cavalry to the front to suppress the formation and cover the retreat of the troops!"
After thinking for a while, Long Da immediately turned his attention to his two brothers.
"Brother, do you want to withdraw?" The generals were puzzled.
"For the sake of safety, first withdraw to the north bank of the river."
There were an unknown number of Qinghe troops around, and another 50,000 to 60,000 Qinghe troops blocked their way in front. They fell into a situation where they were attacked from three sides, so Long Da felt that it was too dangerous.
If they can't defeat the Qinghe army blocking the way in a short time, and the surrounding Qinghe army attacks again, they will be in danger.
So he decisively decided to retreat, as long as they retreated to the north bank of the river, at least their army along the way would not be surrounded by people.
They had marched a long distance here, and the surroundings were unobstructed. If they really fought the Qinghe army in the field, it would be difficult, so Long Da didn't dare to take risks.
"The thieves are coming towards us, we can't take it lightly, let's go."
"No!"
Long Wu and Long Liu did not hesitate, and immediately led more than 15,000 mighty troops towards the front like lightning. They needed to cope with the retreat of the infantry.
"The general has an order that the entire army's rear team will change to the front team and withdraw to the north bank!"
"The general has an order that the rear team of the whole army will change to the front team and withdraw.Shore! "
Long Da's orders were quickly issued one by one, and the soldiers of the mighty army who were resting on the spot were also puzzled by the monk Zhang Er, completely unaware that they had fallen into a dangerous situation.
"What's the matter, go back?"
"Isn't this just tossing people around?"
"That is, a word from those officials, let's run away."
The Mighty Army came all the way back from the Hezhong Province, and they were about to reach the provincial capital. When they were suddenly ordered to retreat, they also cursed and showed reluctance.
After all, they were exhausted from marching all the way, and the repeated tossing made them feel very unhappy.
Although the soldiers of the Mighty Army were very unhappy, since the order was delivered, they still had to carry it out.
At noon, the mighty army's continuous marching team began to turn around, and with the support of 15,000 cavalry, they slowly retreated northward.
"It seems that their noses are quite sensitive, and they smell danger."
On a slightly higher mountain not far from the provincial highway, Li Lang, the frontline commander of the Qinghe Army, saw the winding black line in the distance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
They have already formulated the tactics of encircling the spot and attacking for reinforcements. At this moment, the troops led by Deputy Commander Zhou Ba are feigning to attack the provincial capital to attract attention.
In fact, the main force led by Li Lang had already arrived at this preset battlefield and set up a pocket formation.
After crossing the river, more than 100,000 mighty troops led by Long Da plunged headlong into this pocket formation set up by the Qinghe Army, and they have already become a turtle in an urn.
Although Long Da sensed the danger, he decided to retreat his troops to the north bank of the river to observe the situation.
But what Long Da didn't know was that just last night, the Fifth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Infantry, led by Dong Hao, the head of the banner, had seized the ferry, destroyed the pontoon bridge, cut off their retreat, and sealed off The mouth of the pocket array.
"Pass my order, and the troops will start their operations according to the original plan."
Li Lang thought that the Mighty Army would move closer to the provincial capital regardless of everything, so he deliberately asked veteran generals Wang Cheng and Lei Ming to lead tens of thousands of people, plus hoplites to block their way.
Once the Mighty Army attacks there with all its strength, it will surely cause the Mighty Army to bruise their heads.
But now that the mighty army has chosen to retreat instead of attacking forward, then Li Lang and the others can also launch an attack in advance.
"Master Banner Leader, Li Shuai has an order to cut off the rear guard of the Mighty Army and eat them!"
On a low-lying grassland, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Qinghe Army were hiding and waiting for orders. Two messengers of the Qinghe Army ran over with cat waists, and sent an order to Zhou Ting, the new head of the newly formed Eighteenth Banner Regiment. .
Zhou Ting was originally the head of the First Independent Banner in the enemy's rear. He made great contributions in the battle to capture Yingzui Peak, so he was transferred to the new 18th Banner Regiment to take over the command of the original acting head of the Banner and serve as the main flag regiment. long.
From an independent flag regiment with only more than 5,000 people to a regular field flag regiment, although the level remains the same, more troops can be commanded, which can be regarded as a promotion.
