    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1045

    In mid-May, when the sun was scorching hot, a scout officer of the Imperial Guard strode into the tent of the Central Army of General Liu Yan of Zhengdong.

    In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Yan, the general Zhengdong, was wearing a thin shirt, and several beautiful women were shaking huge cattail fans to cool him down.

    The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the battle between the Imperial Guard Army and the Qinghe Army that is facing each other on the front line of Hexi has never broken out. This makes Liu Yan, the general who conquers the East, also unable to understand what medicine is sold in the gourd of the Qinghe Army.

    "General, the bandit army is starting to mobilize frequently again. I heard that there will be another exercise tomorrow."

    After standing still in the military tent, the hot and sweaty scout officer cupped his hands and reported to Liu Yan, who was gnawing fruit to quench his thirst.

    "The thieves are still really capable of tossing around. Isn't it uncomfortable to stay in the shade on such a hot day?"

    Hearing that the Qinghe Army was about to conduct another exercise, Liu Yan threw the gnawed melon skin on the ground, also showing a mocking expression.

    The Qinghe Army has conducted more than a dozen large and small exercises during this period, and the Imperial Guards have long been used to it.

    "Okay, I see, is there anything else?"

    Liu Yan grabbed another piece of cut fruit and asked the scout officer without raising his head.

    "There is also a gossip. I heard that the thief chief Chen Ziang is extremely hot and seems to have sunstroke, but this news has not been confirmed." The scout officer hesitated for a few seconds and said.

    "Hmph, it's no wonder they are suffering from heat stroke."

    "It would be great if Chen Ziang, the chief thief, died, and we don't have to suffer here." Liu Yan groaned dissatisfied.

    If there had been no war, he would have gone to the cooler mountains to escape the summer heat.

    But now that the Qinghe army is heavily suppressed here, he has to stay in the barracks on the front line, suffering from the scorching heat, and Liu Yan's heart is also on fire.

    "Give the order to the front line, and let the bandit army carry out exercises. Let them do it. We will stay the same and keep an eye on it." Liu Yan ordered.

    "No!"

    After the scout officer responded, he strode out of the military tent immediately.

    Both Liu Yan, the front-line Zhengdong General, and the scouts have become accustomed to the Qinghe Army's exercises.

    Don't look at the huge momentum every time the Qinghe Army engages in it. In fact, there is no threat to them at all. The so-called exercises are just training.

    Seeing the soldiers of the Qinghe Army sweating profusely while the scouts of the Imperial Guards were still watching the fun, they felt that life as a soldier of the Qinghe Army was too hard.

    Because the Qinghe Army conducted exercises at intervals during this period, the Imperial Guards did not care about their large-scale mobilization this time.

    But what the imperial guards didn't know was that this time the Qinghe army was not a real exercise, but a large-scale attack.

    ? On that night, with a bright moon in the sky and stars, Qinghe Army's 22nd Guards and 40,000 troops from the 23rd Banner Regiment quietly left the camp under the leadership of Tan Feng, the deputy commander of the Guards Corps.

    These two banner regiments are newly formed, and Tan Feng is not only serving as the commander of the 13th banner regiment, but also as the deputy commander of the guard regiment.

    The Guards Corps is Chen Ziang's direct unit, and these two banner regiments have just been formed.

    Fortunately, after a period of running-in drills, they have initially acquired combat effectiveness.

    The two flag regiments led by Tan Feng did not light torches. They marched quickly overnight along the road they usually practiced, and arrived at the border area before dawn.

    Under the guidance of the front-line scouts, the 40,000 brothers led by Tan Feng infiltrated through the weak points of the two fronts of the imperial guards against Qingcheng Mansion and Xixiang Mansion.

    ?Defending Qingcheng Mansion was the Imperial Guard Zhengdong General Liu Yan, while defending Xixiang Mansion was Imperial Guard Left General Feng Tianhao.

    Their two guards are not subordinate to each other, and only patrols have been deployed in the bordering rural areas, and no defensive troops have been deployed.

    After all, in their view, if the Qinghe army on the opposite side attacked, they would definitely attack the city along the main road, and would not go to the wilderness villages full of wild grass and rocks.

    Moreover, there are only some country roads in those places, which are not suitable for large troops to enter, so they only deployed fixed patrols.

    The front-line scouts of the Qinghe Army have already figured out the patrol frequency of these Imperial Guard patrols, and they know that their night patrols are also quite slack.

    ? They turned back to sleep after halfway through the patrol road of more than ten miles.??The patrol is over.

    Their imperial guards deployed 300,000 troops within a radius of a hundred miles, and set up dozens of strong camps, let alone those towns.

    If the Qinghe Army is still engaged in sneak attacks, it will definitely not succeed.

    Because the raid is only effective against a single line of defense lined up, because once the raid is successful, the defense line collapses.

    However, in the face of such a criss-crossed defense line in depth, even if a place is attacked by surprise, the defense line is still as stable as Mount Tai, and there may be a counterattack.

    It is precisely because of this kind of self-confidence that the patrol team of the Imperial Guard is also at ease, and did not carry out the patrol seriously.

    The Qinghe Army just hit the nail on the head, and under the cover of night, 40,000 troops penetrated from an area less than five miles wide into the territory of Qingcheng Mansion in Hexi Province.

    The Qinghe Army brothers who were in charge of penetrating and infiltrating could even see the light of the torches of the Imperial Guard patrols in the distance and the shadowy villages in the distance.

    The Qinghe army has strict military discipline, especially when it is interspersed under the eyes of the enemy like this, it is necessary to keep quiet.

    Tan Feng gave an order before he set off. During the march, no talking, no coughing, and silence. The military police have the power to enforce battlefield discipline.

    Once anyone violated discipline, the military police distributed in the centurion had the power to kill him directly.

    Fortunately, the brothers in the Qinghe Army also know that if they are exposed, their plan will not only fail, but they will also be severely punished. Everyone pays special attention to it.

    At daybreak, Tan Feng and the others had successfully completed their infiltration, and entered the territory of Qingcheng Mansion to hide.

    Their 40,000 brothers hid in five villages, and each village was packed to the brim.

    The straight-line distance from the nearest Imperial Guard checkpoint to them was less than one mile. Fortunately, these villages had already been looted by the Imperial Guard and there was nothing left, so they did not come to the village either.

    When Tan Feng and the others were hiding under the noses of the imperial guards, the five guard regiments led by Chen Ziang, the 24th, 25th, 26th, 13th, and 19th, were carrying a large number of banners.  With advanced weapons and equipment, they marched westward along the main road.

    After Chen Ziang and the others arrived at the border area, they started regular battlefield exercises as usual.

    And in the town guarded by the Imperial Guards who were one step away from them, many soldiers of the Imperial Guards climbed to the nearby hillside to watch the excitement from afar.

    Seeing the billowing smoke and dust on the opposite side, and the Qinghe Army's constant attack and mobilization, the bored Imperial Guards had no idea that danger was approaching.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
