"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1054
After Hu Ziyang, Marshal of the Imperial Guard learned in detail how the Qinghe Army stormed the Qingcheng Mansion, he was also shocked.
He didn't believe in the demonic methods used by the Qinghe army. He felt that the Qinghe army must have invented some new weapons.
You must know that the walls of Qingcheng Mansion are high and thick, and Liu Yan, the general who conquered the East, defended it with tens of thousands of troops.
Even though these tens of thousands of troops are troops with weak combat effectiveness, they are more than enough to defend the city.
However, the actual situation is that under the fierce attack of the Qinghe Army, Liu Yan's troops were almost wiped out.
This undoubtedly shook the confidence of Hu Ziyang, Generalissimo of the Imperial Guards. With the Qinghe Army having weapons capable of breaking through the city walls, the defense of his line of defense would be greatly weakened.
Qingcheng Mansion was lost, and the city walls of Tianjin Mansion and Xixiang Mansion probably could not withstand the attack of Qinghe Army.
He originally wanted to build a solid line of defense by relying on it to consume the Qinghe army and make the Qinghe army exhausted.
His way of fighting in space and time is to consume and drag down the Qinghe army.
However, the Qinghe army now has new powerful weapons, which made Hu Ziyang realize that they will face a huge crisis.
Once the Qinghe Army uses this weapon on a large scale, their strong cities will be placed outside the city.
While Hu Ziyang was shocked, the morale of the troops under his command was greatly shaken.
In particular, the exaggerated statements of those stragglers and captured prisoners made them even more fearful of the Qinghe Army.
"Commander, those stragglers are exaggerating the strength of the bandit army, which made many of our soldiers fear war. There are rumors in private that we can't beat the bandit army, and we will die if we go."
There is no shortage of talented officers in the Imperial Guard. They realized that the rumors they spread would shake the morale of the army, so they reported them to Generalissimo Hu Ziyang as soon as possible.
"Centralize and guard those scattered soldiers and prisoners, and review them one by one, so as not to let the spies of the bandit army get in."
After Hu Ziyang was reminded by the officers under his command, he also realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately made arrangements.
"Pass my military order, whoever in the army dares to spread rumors privately and shake the morale of the army will be killed immediately!" Hu Ziyang said viciously.
"No!"
The army led by Hu Ziyang continued to advance towards Qingcheng Mansion, but compared to the relaxed atmosphere before, it was now much more serious and dull.
In particular, a considerable number of soldiers in the Imperial Guard were recruited by force. They have no problem eating food as soldiers, and can also reduce the burden on their families.
However, if the food for the soldiers threatens their lives, their survival instinct makes them ready to run away at any time, so the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and morale will inevitably decline.
In particular, Hu Ziyang's order to strictly prohibit the spread of rumors that the Qinghe Army used demon methods undoubtedly made the soldiers fantasize.
After all, some things cannot be banned at once. The more suppressed, the more counterproductive it will be.
Just like water control, blocking is worse than dredging. Now the Imperial Guard strictly prohibits spreading rumors, but privately, the soldiers believe that these rumors are true even more.
Of course, a high-ranking marshal like Hu Ziyang naturally doesn't know what the soldiers at the bottom think, because he usually has no way to get in touch with the soldiers at the bottom.
The people who could get in touch with him, the generalissimo, were some senior generals of the imperial guards. They didn't report, Hu Ziyang thought that his order had received good results.
Putting aside the fact that the large number of stragglers and captives released by the Qinghe Army Chen Ziang and the others caused the Imperial Guards to fluctuate, at this moment Chen Ziang and the others had already detained a large amount of seized supplies and returned slowly.
Chen Ziang's strategy is to fight some short-term wars of annihilation, rather than long-term wars of attrition.
Therefore, after capturing Qingcheng Mansion and eliminating Liu Yan's troops, Chen Zi'ang led the army and left.
When the army led by Hu Ziyang arrived at Qingcheng Mansion, what they saw was ruins and rubble. Many blocks of the originally bustling city were turned into blackened ruins.
This was not set on fire by the Qinghe army, but by the remnants of the retreating imperial guards.
After the Qinghe army rescued the trophies, they did not pay attention to the spreading fire and retreated directly.
Seeing that a solid city has become ruins, especially the east gate has completely disappeared, and the surrounding walls have collapsed.
Seeing this miserable scene, Hu Ziyang, Marshal of the Imperial Guard, also twitched his facial muscles violently.
"Damn Liu Yan!"
"Damn the bandits!"
Hu Ziyang hated both Liu Yan and the Qinghe army, and it was because of them that the Qingcheng Mansion became like this.
He, Hu Ziyang, has won many battles against the rebels, which also consolidated his power as the Generalissimo.
But now that he has just arrived in Hexi Province, he has suffered such a disastrous defeat, and the solid line of defense has been riddled with holes.
The Qinghe army's tooth extraction operation was completely a provocation to Hu Ziyang, the Marshal of the Imperial Guard, which greatly weakened the authority of Hu Ziyang, the Marshal of the Imperial Guard.
"Marshal, how to report the defeat of Qingcheng Mansion to the imperial court?"
? Seeing the Qingcheng Mansion burned to ruins, they also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and a general, and the staff members were also full of sorrow.
Although he knew that Hu Ziyang was in a bad mood, the staff still had to remind Hu Ziyang that he had to find a way to report it.
After all, the Far Eastern imperial court also had its own Qilin Guards. If the Qilin Guards reported the information first, they would be passive.
"Report truthfully that General Liu Yan of Zhengdong disobeyed the military order and attacked without authorization, resulting in a disastrous defeat. Qingcheng Mansion was also captured by the bandit army. The soldiers and civilians were brutally slaughtered by the bandit army, and countless property was looted by the bandit army."
Hu Ziyang added: "Fortunately, I led the army to arrive in time, repelled the bandit army, took back the Qingcheng Mansion, and re-consolidated the defense line"
Anyway, Liu Yan, the general of Zhengdong, was dead, and there was no proof of his death, so Hu Ziyang did not hesitate to shirk all the responsibility to Liu Yan.
"The rebel army is overwhelming the border, and there is not enough food and supplies on the front line. I request the court to allocate food, fodder and supplies as soon as possible. Otherwise, the front line will be unstable, and the Hexi province will be unstable. At that time, the king will face the rebel army directly."
While shirking responsibility, Hu Ziyang added again that he asked the Far Eastern court for military equipment and fodder.
"Master Marshal, the imperial court only delivered food, fodder and military equipment to the Hexi frontline army a few days ago" a food and grass transport envoy reminded,
"You mean, Ben Shuai has a wrong memory?"
Hu Ziyang turned his head and stared at the food transporter with sharp eyes.
"Reporting to the Marshal, it's a humble job that made a mistake."
Seeing that knife-like gaze, the food and grass transfer envoy also froze and changed his words hastily.
"If you are in charge of food, grass, ordnance, you can't have a bad memory. You can go to stand guard tomorrow to reflect, and you don't have to worry about food, grass, or arms." Hu Ziyang said.
"Thank you, Marshal."
Hu Ziyang's one sentence knocked off the official hat of the grain and grass transporter, but the grain and grass transporter did not dare to have the slightest complaint. He knew that he was still very lucky to be able to save his life. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
