    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1034

    On the road billowing with smoke and dust, the soldiers of the Qinghe Army Security Banner Battalion, marching in a column, marched sonorously and forcefully to the north.

    The vast banners are like surging waves, and the sharp spears glow coldly in the sun.

    The main road is full of traffic, people are noisy and horses are neighing, and heavy ballistas and siege engines are moving one by one, crowding the entire road.

    The common people along the way saw this mighty and majestic team, and they all received huge visual impact and shock.

    Surrounded by a group of young military officers, Chen Ziang stood on the hillside and looked at this continuous team, feeling very proud in his heart.

    With such a strong army, any enemy will be trampled under their feet, and this land will eventually belong to them.

    On the gloomy land, groups of soldiers and horses waving banners flowed into Chen Ziang's army like a trickle.

    When the army arrived at the capital of Jiangbei Province, the army was so mighty that there was no end in sight.

    Many banner camps have already set up their camps, and the continuous tents are placed beside the road, surrounded by smoke, as if a town appeared out of thin air.

    And there are more troops marching in formation, their steps are sonorous, their military appearance is strict, and their morale is high.

    Now Chen Ziang and the others have completely controlled the southeast region, including Jiangnan Province, Yunshan Province, Dongjiang Province and other places.

    There are elite field troops stationed in these places to ensure local stability, and these places will provide the Qinghe Army with a steady stream of food, fodder and money.

    And Chen Ziang's strategy will also move northward. This time he recruited the local security banner battalions from Dongjiang, Jiangnan, Jiangbei and other provinces to move northward, also for the purpose of moving the center of gravity northward.

    It has been a long time since these second-line security banner camps were established, and the latest ones were established for more than three months.

    They have also undergone rigorous training, and they also have a full set of weapons and equipment in the Qinghe Army Arsenal.

    These second-line troops are almost no different from the Qinghe army field troops except that they have not been on the battlefield and their salaries are lower.

    And this time, Chen Ziang dispatched second-line troops from various places to Luyang Province. This was a long-distance armed training, and at the same time, he wanted them to go to the battlefield to practice and practice.

    Chen Ziang learned from the Intelligence Investigation Institute that whether it is the imperial guards or the rebel troops, the repeated conquests have exhausted their soldiers.

    Now in the various armies of the imperial court and the rebel army, there are not only children in their teens, but also gray-haired old men.

    Moreover, the weapons and equipment of the court and the rebels are generally insufficient, and many people even only have badly damaged swords.

    After all, the long-term war consumption has overwhelmed the Far Eastern court and rebel forces.

    Now they have poured all their resources into the army, causing the rest of the industry to almost stand still.

    Their wanton expansion of the army has resulted in weapons and equipment that cannot keep up. Although they are regular troops, their equipment is actually not even as good as some bandits.

    In Chen Zi'ang's view, the collapse of the Far Eastern court and the rebel army is only a matter of time. With the current strength of the Qinghe army, it is not difficult to defeat them.

    Now Chen Ziang's eyes have been turned to the enemies farther away, including the wolf cavalry on the grassland, and the powerful empires in the surrounding area.

    The empires or dynasties in these surrounding areas have been involved in the war in the Far East to varying degrees.

    They supported agents in various provinces, continuously supported weapons and supplies, and tried to let the forces they supported seize the Far East.

    It's just that the agents they support are not very up-to-date, and it is difficult to survive in the cracks between the rebel alliance, the Far Eastern court and the rebels.

    However, Chen Ziang also knew that the Far Eastern Dynasty possessed vast land and resources, and these were the targets of the surrounding countries.

    Once he leads the Qinghe Army to defeat all forces and seize control of the provinces of the Far Eastern Dynasty, the surrounding countries will certainly not sit idly by.

    Now the prairie wolf is riding south and annexing three provinces in the Far Northeast is the best proof.

    Most of the surrounding countries have not taken direct action now, because the Far East is still fighting internally. If they intervene now, they will inevitably be dragged into the quagmire of war, causing the loss of national strength.

    They want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then get the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, and they are still waiting.

    Chen Ziang understands that once they defeatIf the forces of all parties are suppressed, the surrounding countries may intervene in various names at that time. As long as they defeat themselves, they can carve up the entire Far East.

    The foundation of the Qinghe army is too shallow. Although they have risen rapidly, they have always followed the policy of elite soldiers, and their strength has never been large.

    Facing the various forces in the current domestic melee, they still have certain advantages, but if they face those complete countries with sufficient soldiers and food, their advantages will disappear.

    In the worst case, they may have to confront several countries at the same time, which is absolutely impossible with their current strength.

    Therefore, Chen Zi'ang's large-scale assembly of second-line security banner battalion troops to the front line this time also hopes that through the battlefield, they will also be sharpened into field troops.

    In the future, it will become normal for the second-line security banner battalion to be converted into a field force, and they will be the most powerful reserve force for the field force.

    If it weren't for worrying about local production and economy, Chen Ziang could even pull up a team of nearly one million now.

    But he knew that this was all a waste of money, once all the young and strong joined the army, the economy of that place would be in a mess.

    At that time, no one will produce, no one will grow food, and the army of one million will be an empty shell, which may collapse at any time.

    This time, Chen Ziang mobilized more than 30 security banner battalions from several provinces, and mobilized 1,000 crossbow carts, 300 trebuchets, 2,000 ladders, and countless other equipment.

    With so many troops and equipment marching northward, they naturally attracted great attention from the enemy spies.

    However, no matter the Shadow Guard or the Qilin Guard, although they were trying their best to find out the target of Chen Ziang and his actions this time, Chen Ziang and the others kept it a secret, leaving them with nothing.

    It wasn't until Chen Ziang and the others passed Yingzui Peak and turned to Hexi Province that the intelligence personnel of the Far Eastern court and the rebel army figured out the purpose of Chen Ziang's trip.

    Previously, the five banner regiments led by Li Lang had already pressed on the border area of ??Hexi Province.

    And now Chen Ziang led the army to march towards the Hexi Province. Even a fool could guess that Chen Ziang wanted to attack the Hexi Province.

    With Chen Ziang gathering such a huge army, the Hexi province is naturally in danger.

    Once the Hexi Province falls, the Qinghe Army will point directly at the Gyeonggi Province of the Far Eastern court.

    Therefore, the Qilin Guard did not dare to delay, and immediately sent the information that the Qinghe Army was about to attack the Hexi Province to the capital at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
