"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1148
"Old Xu, Li Yuanqing and his 50,000 cavalry are all finished."
The Qinghe Army Guards Corps under the command of Chen Zi'ang wiped out more than 50,000 cavalry troops under the command of Li Yuanqing, and the news quickly reached the rebel general Han Tao through special channels.
Han Tao was from the serious Qinghe Army, and when he partnered with Xu Yong as an undercover agent, he was also a surveillance of Xu Yong.
However, the two of them came and went in the wind and rain, and after going through the ups and downs, the relationship is not bad now.
"Li Yuanqing's more than 50,000 Northern Army are all elite cavalry. If His Highness says it will be destroyed, will it be destroyed?"
Xu Yong was also shocked when he heard that Chen Ziang had eliminated Li Yuanqing, because the speed was too fast.
According to Xu Yong's thinking, if the Qinghe army wants to eat Li Yuanqing's 50,000 cavalry, it will not be an easy task. After all, even if the cavalry is surrounded, if they try their best to break through, they may be able to break through.
Xu Yong has even sent someone to watch over there. Once Li Yuanqing escapes back, he may have to do it.
But what he never imagined was that Chen Ziang wiped out Li Yuanqing and his 50,000 elite cavalry in a flash.
This is mainly because Xu Yong is only cooperating in the action. Xu Yong has no idea of ??Chen Ziang's specific battle plan.
However, seeing that Chen Ziang eliminated Li Yuanqing's more than 50,000 elite cavalry so easily, Xu Yong's admiration for Chen Ziang increased a bit.
"What instructions does Your Highness give us?" Xu Yong asked Han Tao.
Han Tao said: "Your Highness wants us to retreat. The next step is to cooperate with the Qinghe Army brothers to destroy the Zhendong Army."
"I see, let's do the math."
Li Yuanqing's northern army was wiped out, Xu Yong knew that the rebel army was gone, and as long as the Zhendong army was wiped out, the big thing would be settled.
Xu Yong, the general marshal of the rebel army, and the general Han Tao discussed until late at night, and they took active actions the next day.
The first thing they did was to recruit a heavy cavalry unit from the Northern Army and bring it under their command.
This heavy cavalry unit of the northern army is suitable for the formation of large corps in battle. After all, the heavy cavalry attack is really unstoppable by ordinary troops.
However, their shortcomings are also obvious. Heavy cavalry is not suitable for long-distance raids, so Li Yuanqing stayed behind.
After Xu Yong and the others spread the news of the fall of Li Yuanqing's troops, the remaining heavy cavalry were naturally panicked.
After all, the Northern Army is their biggest backer, and now that the Northern Army has existed in name only, where these people go has become an important issue.
Fortunately, Xu Yong threw out an olive branch in time. These heavy cavalry, like a lone boat floating on the sea, naturally knew that they could not support themselves. Backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade.
In addition to this heavy cavalry, there are also some infantry battalions with the designation of the Northern Army who are also panicked. Faced with Xu Yong's wooing, they all gradually surrendered to Xu Yong's command.
There are also some infantry troops under the banner of the Northern Army who saw Li Yuanqing dead, and immediately dispersed.
After all, many of them were robbed to serve as soldiers at the beginning. Now that the Qinghe army came to attack and Li Yuanqing was dead, they naturally didn't want to stay there to die.
After the news of the destruction of Li Yuanqing and more than 50,000 cavalry came back to the eastern provinces, the rebel emperor Long Tian was also shocked and speechless.
Because Li Yuanqing's northern army is an important combat force under his command, and it is gone now.
"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Commander Li was wiped out by the bandit army. Now Shuai Xu is not busy fighting the bandit army, but is busy recruiting the northern army. This trend cannot last long."
Lu Quan, the prime minister of the rebel army, is naturally well-informed, and what he is worried about now is that Xu Yong will be in power.
Previously, the Northern Army, the Zhendong Army, and Xu Yong's troops were three-legged, and each other's containment, Long Tian was able to secure his position.
However, now that the Northern Army has gone through a series of changes, it has survived in name only, and the strength of the Zhendong Army has also been severely damaged.
However, Xu Yong has become the largest force in the rebel forces. Once Xu Yong has any dissent, it will be a disaster for them.
"What does Xu Yong want to do?"
Hearing that Xu Yong was secretly recruiting the remnants of the Northern Army's defeated generals, Long Tian naturally became vigilant.
At the beginning, Long Tian relied on the support of the aristocratic family to come to power, and then he practiced balancing skills, ?Only then did he sit firmly on the emperor's seat and boiled his brother to death.
Now with the changes in the situation, Xu Yong, the Marshal of the Army and Horses, holds a heavy army. After hearing the reminder from Prime Minister Lu Quan, he realized that Xu Yong's power was too great and he was in danger of losing control.
But soon Long Tian found out with frustration that Xu Yong had become their mainstay. If he was replaced, who would deal with the Qinghe army that was pressing on every step of the way.
"Let the shadow guard keep an eye on Xu Yong, and if he feels disobedient, report it immediately."
Long Tian is indeed dissatisfied with Xu Yong, the marshal of soldiers and horses, who has incorporated the remnants of the northern army, but he finds that he dare not do anything, worried that Xu Yong will be forced to the Qinghe army, so he can only let the shadow guard secretly stare.
"Send someone to urge Hanhai and the Holy See again. If they don't send troops, the Far East will be completely occupied by the bandits."
The death of Northern Army Li Yuanqing made Long Tian feel a sense of urgency, knowing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him.
Xu Yong recruited the remnants of the Northern Army wantonly on the front line, but Long Tian fart didn't dare to let go. In order to stabilize Xu Yong, let him hold back the Qinghe Army, and even sent an imperial envoy to the front line to comfort Xu Yong with wine and meat them.
Xu Yong is naturally clear about Long Tian's thoughts, but what he is going to execute now is Chen Ziang's order.
After Xu Yong thanked him for the consolation of wine and meat, he deliberately lost three cities to the Qinghe Army the next day.
On the third day, another prefecture area was lost to the Qinghe army, and Xu Yong's troops also retreated steadily.
After Long Tian knew about it, he was also furious and scolded Xu Yong as a waste, but the scolding was the scolding, and he had to rely on him to fight, so he could only issue some innocuous edicts, asking Xu Yong to severely punish the generals who retreated without authorization.
Xu Yong is now in charge of the power of the rebel army. He is the Generalissimo of the soldiers and horses. He has soldiers in his hand, so he is not afraid of Long Tian at all.
In order to obtain a good position when he returns to the Qinghe Army in the future, Xu Yong is now thinking of making meritorious service.
Therefore, Xu Yong withdrew from Lancang Province and Hedong Province almost without fighting, and handed over these two provinces to the Qinghe Army.
The Zhendong Army, which was originally stationed in the Lancang Province, saw that all the friendly troops had withdrawn, and it was difficult to support them alone, so they had to withdraw from the Lancang Province and retreated to the Eastern Province where the base camp was located.
However, the Qinghe Army was not forgiving. After taking the Hedong Province and the Lancang Province from the rebels, their soldiers pointed directly at the only remaining eastern province of the rebels.
Facing the menacing Qinghe army, Xu Yong also expressed his position in front of Longtian this time, that is, the last soldier will not retreat until the end of the battle. He even came to the front line in person, which moved Longtian deeply.
Under Xu Yong's proposal, the Zhendong Army guarded the northwest line of the eastern province, while the army he led guarded the southwest line, each other's horns to resist the Qinghe Army's attack.
In early January, the Qinghe Army blew the horn for a general attack on the rebels. The Guards Corps, the Fourth Field Army Corps, and the First Cavalry Corps launched an attack on the rebels.
But what is depressing is that the Qinghe Army's main attack direction is the northwest of the province, which is the line of defense guarded by the Zhendong Army.
On the contrary, there were not many Qinghe troops in the southwest where Xu Yong was heavily stationed, and the angry Zhendong Army coach Chai Sheng almost vomited blood.
However, at the critical point of life and death, Chai Sheng also had to rely on various towns to fight the Qinghe army to the death.
Although the Zhendong Army still has more than 100,000 troops, it can't stand the onslaught of the Qinghe Army day and night.
Although the various departments of the Zhendong Army are fighting with all their strength, the Qinghe Army seems to have clairvoyance, always able to find their weak points and attack.
? In just one week, the Northwest Frontline guarded by the Zhendong Army collapsed across the board, and the Zhendong Army was also completely defeated. Not to mention losing the city and land, it also lost troops and generals. More than half of the more than 100,000 Zhendong Army lost. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
