"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1042
Commander Hu Ziyang's army is deployed on the front line of Hexi, and their mission is to block the upcoming attack of the Qinghe Army.
However, Hu Ziyang, the Generalissimo of the Imperial Guard, was depressed because their defenses were all arranged, but the Qinghe Army hadn't moved at all.
You must know that the Qinghe Army is famous for its raids and blitzkriegs, and every time the opponent is wiped out before he can react.
So this time Hu Ziyang also set up a defense line with a depth of more than a hundred miles. Even if the Qinghe army made a surprise attack and occupied a few front-line towns, their entire front line would not be shaken.
However, the Qinghe army did not launch a large-scale attack on them uncharacteristically, which made Hu Ziyang and other generals of the imperial guards very puzzled.
"What happened to the bandit army on the front line?"
In the front-line headquarters of the Imperial Guard in Long'an Mansion, Hu Ziyang stared at the map with a frown, and asked about the situation of his staff joining the army.
The staff member joined the army and replied: "Master Marshal, the front line of the bandit army is very quiet. I heard that the internal organization has been adjusted recently, and a new Fourth Army Corps and a Guards Corps have been formed."
"A Fourth Army Corps and a Guards Corps have been newly formed?"
The aide joined the army and said: "I don't know what the bandit army is doing. Intelligence shows that they often adjust their organization. It is estimated that the bandit chief is to further strengthen the control of the army."
"Could the adjustment of the establishment be their deception?" Hu Ziyang guessed.
"The thieves have always been cunning and treacherous. What they are good at using is tricks such as slapping east and west. We have to guard against it."
Although Hu Ziyang, the Generalissimo of the Imperial Guard, faced off against the Qinghe Army for the first time, but the Qinghe Army is now famous all over the world, he is also very alert and dare not be careless.
"However, reports from Xixiang Mansion, Qingcheng Mansion, and Tianjin Mansion on the front line have not found any abnormal movement of the bandit army. Even their scouts have died down, not as active as they were a few days ago."
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The bandit army is a formidable enemy. We can't take it lightly." Hu Ziyang said.
"There are so many troops of the bandit army pressing on the front line of the border. According to intelligence, their strength exceeds 300,000."
"The 300,000 soldiers eat horse chews, and the daily consumption of food and fodder is an astronomical figure. The bandit army will not be full, just to look good."
Hu Ziyang, as the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, had experienced and fought in the frontier army when he was young, so he can be regarded as a man who knows how to fight.
He knew that the Qinghe army would never deploy hundreds of thousands of troops in the border area for no reason for fun, it must have a purpose.
But now the Qinghe Army has not launched a large-scale attack on their Hexi Province.
"Quickly mobilize more than a thousand scouts from the directly subordinate scout battalion to conduct search and reconnaissance within a radius of 200 miles to prevent the bandits from sneaking across the border and attacking from other places."
Hu Ziyang, the Generalissimo of the Imperial Guard, was also uneasy when the Qinghe Army stood still, because he always felt that the Qinghe Army must have some kind of conspiracy.
Under Hu Ziyang's order, more than a thousand Qingqi scouts of the imperial guards set off quickly, and conducted a detailed investigation towards the surrounding area of ??more than two hundred miles.
However, these scouts and Qingqi found nothing, because the area within a radius of two hundred miles was calm, and there were no Qinghe army troops crossing the border to attack.
"Search every mountain, forest, river, ditch and village carefully, and expand the search range by another hundred miles."
After receiving the report from the scout Qingqi, Hu Ziyang not only did not feel the slightest joy, but became more and more disturbed.
After all, the Qinghe Army is so famous that it is almost synonymous with invincibility.
He is now leading an army of 300,000 to deploy on the front line of Hexi, and he still feels great pressure.
Hu Ziyang and his Imperial Guard troops were on guard as if they were facing a big enemy, but the Qinghe Army on the opposite side still stood still.
"Order Liu Yan, General Zhengdong, to send an elite force to take the initiative to attack in order to test the reality of the bandit army on the opposite side."
In desperation, Hu Ziyang had no choice but to send an order to Liu Yan's troops who were deployed on the front line of Qingcheng Mansion, asking him to send troops to take the initiative to attack.
After all, instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to take the initiative to attack tentatively, and you can see the reaction of the Qinghe Army.
After General Liu Yan of Zhengdong received the military order from Marshal Hu Ziyang of the Imperial Guard, he also scolded his mother in his heart.
He has experienced the actual situation of the Qinghe ArmyIf he hadn't run fast at the beginning, his life would have been lost in Shuangshui Mansion of Luyang Province.
Now that the Qinghe army is standing still, he is looking forward to enjoying a few days of peace and stability.
However, Hu Ziyang wanted him to take the initiative to attack and provoke the mighty Qinghe Army, which was no different from actively seeking death.
However, Hu Ziyang is the Grand Marshal of the Imperial Guard and the supreme commander of the front line appointed by the emperor. He has absolute power on the front line.
If he dared to disobey orders, maybe Hu Ziyang would find an excuse and chop off his head.
Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, Liu Yan, General Zhengdong, still dispatched a Guards force with a strength of more than 5,000 to take the initiative to attack to test the reality of the Qinghe Army.
"You must deal with it carefully, and if the situation is not right, withdraw immediately."
Liu Yan also didn't want his troops to suffer losses, so he repeatedly explained to the leading generals.
This general had also fought against the Qinghe Army in the west of Luyang Province. He knew the opponent's strength, so he also knew that his life was at stake in this attack.
After intensive preparations, the 5,000 imperial guards, led by a general, crossed the border area between Hexi Province and Luyang Province, and launched a tentative attack on the Qinghe Army.
"The frontline patrol team reported that an army of more than 5,000 people from the Imperial Guard crossed the border area and occupied several villages and towns in our Changfeng Prefecture."
The imperial guards crossed the border area and occupied several villages and towns in Changfeng Mansion, Luyang Province, and the news was reported to the Qinghe Army's front camp as soon as possible.
"We didn't go to beat them, but they came to the door by themselves."
Chen Zi'ang was training the newly formed Guards Banner Regiments, and he also felt a little funny when he heard that the Imperial Guards had crossed the border.
"We have been standing still, I guess they can't sit still." Li Lang said with a smile.
After all, the Qinghe Army's hundreds of thousands of troops stood in front of them but did not move. The imperial guards must have no idea of ??the purpose of the Qinghe Army.
"Since they delivered it to the door, let's eat him."
Chen Ziang ordered: "Give me an order, the 22nd Banner Regiment, the 23rd Banner Regiment, and the 24th Banner Regiment go to Changfeng Mansion to destroy the enemies crossing the border."
These three Guards Banner Regiments were newly formed, and they were all made up of second-line security forces dispatched from various prefectures and counties.
Although they have been undergoing running-in training these days, their combat effectiveness is still not as good as that of the regular main force.
There were only a few thousand troops of the Guards crossing the border. Chen Ziang felt that it was a good time for the newly formed Guards Banner Regiment to practice their skills and practice in actual combat. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
