    In the Temporary Headquarters of the Third Field Army, the acting commander Li Changqing opened the sealed letter.

    "My lord, what happened?"

    Seeing that Li Changqing's face became solemn, all the smiling generals also restrained their smiles. Realizing what happened, the deputy commander Xu Yong took the lead to ask.

    "Brothers, the military situation has changed, and the deployment just now has been cancelled."

    After Li Changqing handed the secret letter to the deputy commander Xu Yong, he faced the crowd and said solemnly.

    Everyone was also full of doubts. Could it be that something happened to the Second Field Army?

    You must know that the Far Eastern Empire is now at war with the grassland, the Holy See, and the vast sea at the same time, and almost every group army is responsible for one direction.

    This time, their Third Army in the field battle had completely defeated the grasslands. Now is the time to take advantage of the momentum to chase and wipe out the enemy.

    Tan Feng's first field army relied on the strong fortresses of the eastern provinces and Baima Pass, but it was indistinguishable from Han Hai's offensive troops.

    Only the second field army under the command of Li Lang faced greater pressure. After all, the Holy See had mobilized the whole country, with nearly a million troops.

    Although the Far Eastern Army has also mobilized elite soldiers to go there, it is still the most difficult direction to fight against those god sticks who are not afraid of death.

    The Northeast War has lasted for more than two months, and the Second Field Army and the Holy See's Patriarchs are still fighting fiercely on the Neiba River battlefield.

    "Han Hai's army landed from Hancheng Port in Jiangnan Province, and now most of Jiangnan Province has fallen."

    Seeing that all the generals were discussing and guessing where the military situation had changed, the deputy commander Xu Yong put down the secret letter in his hand and told the truth.

    "What, the Hanhai army landed from Hancheng Port?"

    "How did they come to Jiangnan Province?"

    When they heard that Han Hai's army landed from the Jiangnan province in the southern part of the empire, and had already occupied more than half of the Jiangnan province, they were all astonished.

    You must know that Jiangnan, Dongjiang and Yunshan provinces in the south of the empire are the rear of their entire empire.

    These three provinces have flat terrain, fertile land, dense villages, large population, and developed commerce. They are the richest areas in the empire.

    At present, 80% of the empire's military rations, 40% of the soldiers, and various weapons and materials are supplied from the three southern provinces.

    It is with the support of the three wealthy provinces in the south that the army of the Far East Empire can fight against powerful enemies in the northern and eastern regions.

    Wars are fought with money, food and supplies. The Far Eastern Empire has a stable rear, so it has the confidence to fight fiercely with so many enemies.

    But now that the enemy has sneaked into their stable rear, it naturally made them astonished, and at the same time, their faces became extremely ugly.

    "The Hanhai people came from the sea by boat!"

    "Our troops left behind in the south were negligent, so now let them seize most of the Jiangnan province in a short time."

    "It is estimated that Dongjiang Province, Yunshan Province and Jiangbei Province will also be attacked soon." Xu Yong explained with a dark face.

    "Where are our navy troops, why didn't they stop the offal from the vast sea?" Someone asked.

    Xu Yong said in a low voice: "Our navy troops were blocked at the port in Hancheng Port, and they were all sunk by trebuchets. Xiang Kun, the deputy commander of the First Navy Army Corps, was killed in battle."

    The third field army is now winning consecutive battles, defeating the prairie wolf cavalry, and it is the time when the morale is high.

    Now when I suddenly heard the news, I felt very uncomfortable, and there was a lot of cursing, some scolded the people of Hanhai, and some scolded the southern defenders.

    "Jiangnan Province, Dongjiang Province and other places are the rear of our empire, and they are important sources of taxes, money and food for me. There is absolutely no room for loss!" Li Changqing knocked on the table and said.

    Li Changqing ordered: "Your Majesty's decree, except for one part of the third field army to continue to chase and wipe out the remnants of the grassland, the main force will quickly go south and rush to the south of the Yangtze River!"

    The generals were still talking about entering the grassland and destroying the wolf cavalry just now. At that time, their third army in the field will be honored, and they will also win the victory of destroying the country.

    But now, in the blink of an eye, instead of being able to march into the grasslands on a large scale, they had to rush to the south of the Yangtze River to help.

    If the Hanhai army in the Jiangnan Province cannot be defeated, the empire will lose a lot of taxes, money and food, and will face the danger of being attacked by enemies.

    Once the people of Hanhai are in the empireThe Ministry has gained a firm foothold, and when they send troops northward, the empire will be in danger.

    "You stay here later, Deputy Commander Xu, Commander Zhao, and Deputy Commander Gu, follow me to the back room."

    Facing the sudden change, Li Changqing, the commander-in-chief who was ready to lead his army into the grassland, had to temporarily adjust his deployment.

    In Chen Ziang's emergency edict, he was not asked to lead the whole army to the south, but only asked him to lead the main force, so he was given a lot of autonomy.

    He took several chief officers of various legions to the back room to discuss, and then walked into the hall, and announced the new deployment to the generals.

    "The task of chasing and destroying the remnants of the grassland enemy will be fully commanded by Xu Yong, deputy commander of the Third Field Army."

    "From now on, the first, second, third, and fourth banner regiments and the eleven banner battalions of the civilian army will be under the command of Deputy Commander Xu Yong, who will be responsible for chasing and destroying the remaining enemies in the grassland."

    "The Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Banner Regiments of Public Security and the five Banner Regiments of the Guards Corps, after receiving the order, hand over the defense of various cities and towns to the militia, and gather the troops to move south immediately.  Pull out, go to the Jiangbei province to assemble, and prepare to take back the Jiangnan province!"

    Li Changqing quickly issued a new order. With the change of the order, the troops that had just won the battle had to temporarily change their marching route and direction.

    Fortunately, in addition to arriving at the front line of Daling Province in a large number of requisitioned civilian carriages and cavalry units, the banner regiments under the Third Field Army are actually still on their way to the north.

    After all, they are almost all infantry, and after finishing chasing and annihilating the main force of the wolf cavalry in the imperial capital, they pursued northward.

    Although more than 100,000 war horses were captured, most of the infantry could not learn them in a short time, and the carriages that could be requisitioned had long been mobilized by the leading pursuit troops.

    Almost all the flag groups in the back chased northward on two legs, and were left far behind.

    As they marched north, they had to restore the order of the recovered towns along the way, and attack the stragglers of the wolf cavalry and some people who took the opportunity to make trouble.

    Although the main force of the wolf cavalry was wiped out, groups of stragglers scattered around the towns and cities.

    They lost contact with the main force, and they could only wander around, attacking villages and looting from time to time, causing panic everywhere.

    "The commanding officer has an order that all the First Banner Regiment of the Guards shall be handed over to the defense, and the spoils shall be sealed up on the spot, and immediately go south!"

    "Assemble the Ninth Banner Regiment of Public Security immediately!"

    "The Thirty-fifth Banner Battalion of the People's Army, the rear team has changed to the front team, and returned to the Jiangnan Province to fight against the vast sea!"

    The order of the command of the Third Field Army was issued to the scattered troops overnight.

    Commanders at all levels did not dare to delay after the troops who were sleeping soundly or on the marching road received orders.

    Especially those troops from Jiangnan Province and Dongjiang Province, who heard that their hometown was attacked by Han Hai, all wished to grow a pair of wings and fly back to protect their parents now!

    Following the order, the troops of the Third Field Army, which had been chasing northward day and night, changed direction overnight.

    On the main roads and small roads leading to the south, there are field troops of the Far East Army marching hurriedly with battle flags sweeping everywhere.

    Like a torrent, they rushed to the Jiangnan province, which was already raging with war.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
