"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 892
"Marshal, the brothers have indeed tried their best, the number of rebels is too many."
Seeing that Chen Ziang was dissatisfied with the battle situation, Han Feng, the deputy army commander, also explained.
"Okay, okay, I don't mean to blame you."
Seeing how uneasy everyone was, Chen Ziang also knew that they were under a lot of pressure in the face of the overwhelming number of rebels.
Although they had some losses, they at least kept the rebels on the front line of Jingyang Mansion.
"There are a large number of rebels, and our strength is not as good as that of the rebels. We can't continue to fight like this."
Chen Ziang also decided to change the way of fighting after learning about the situation on the battlefield.
"Commander, there is no danger to defend here. If you don't line up and fight the rebels head-on, you won't be able to stop the rebels from advancing eastward." Yuan Jie, the head of the army, said.
After all, so many rebels want to go east to attack the Jiangnan province. It is really difficult to fight in this plain area.
It is precisely because of this that Yuan Jie, the army commander, ordered the troops to confront the rebels head-on, just to block their attack.
"The rebel army has a large number of troops. If we continue to fight the war of attrition, I am afraid that we will be finished before the rebel army is wiped out."
"And this kind of tactic of killing one thousand enemies and harming eight hundred is not what I want to see."
"We have to give full play to our strengths and attack the rebels' weaknesses." Chen Ziang looked around at the crowd and said.
"Use my strengths to attack my own weaknesses, not my weaknesses to attack my own strengths."
Chen Ziang talked for a long time, but the generals were still confused. They didn't know how Chen Ziang wanted to fight.
"Marshal, I am stupid, so please show me." Yuan Jie clasped his fists.
"The large number of rebels is their advantage, but it is also their disadvantage."
"If we continue to fight like this, even though their combat effectiveness is not strong, if they rush up in a swarm, we will suffer heavy losses."
"So we have to give full play to our strengths, and we can't compete with them for consumption. They have a large number of people, and they eat horses and chews every day, and consume countless money and food. As long as we delay for ten days and eight months, the rebels will collapse. It's their weakness." Chen Ziang said confidently.
"But there is no danger here. If they go eastward with all their strength, we won't be able to hold them back for so long." Lei Ming also frowned.
"Who said we couldn't hold on?"
"So many of them want to go east, and they have no other way than to take the provincial highway. As long as we block the provincial highway, they will have nowhere to go."
The rebels were so numerous that they had to walk the main road to march, and there were so many supplies of food and fodder that it was difficult to transport them by small roads.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Hao, the right marshal of the rebel army, decided to adopt the tactic of breaking through the center, concentrating a large group of troops to advance along the provincial road.
No matter what schemes and tricks the Qinghe army adopts, their hundreds of thousands of troops are his reliance. In the face of absolute strength, any schemes and tricks will not work.
"Starting tomorrow, the 13th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry and the 12th Banner Regiment of the Infantry will block the rebels in the front, and the rest of the troops will build trenches for me along the provincial road in the back." Chen Ziang ordered.
"Since there is no danger to defend, let's build some defensive positions ourselves to stop the advance of the rebels."
After hearing Chen Ziang's analysis, Army Commander Yuan Jie's eyes lit up, why didn't he think of this method.
Chen Ziang changed his defense strategy when he first arrived on the battlefield. Although the effect has not yet been seen, the generals have full confidence in Chen Ziang, and the decision should be feasible.
After the military affairs conference, Chen Ziang sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Yidao of the First Field Army Corps, ordering his troops to seize the time to attack.
Now the main force of the rebels is concentrated near Jingyang Mansion, and there are not many rebels stranded elsewhere. It is a good time for them to attack the city.
Regardless of the fatigue of the journey, Chen Zi'ang, the commander-in-chief, readjusted his deployment, accompanied by Yuan Jie and others, and visited the wounded brothers in the wounded barracks.
?The tentative Sixteenth Banner Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and many wounded soldiers lived in the wounded barracks.
When they learned that Chen Ziang, the general of the Qinghe Army, had visited them, the soldiers of the Southern Army who had just been incorporated into the Qinghe Army were very grateful.
Chen Ziang pulled the wounded soldiers to ask for their health, without any airs of being a commander, which made these soldiers have a great impression of Chen Ziang.?? Change.
"You guys take good care of your injuries and don't think about anything."
While condolences to these injured brothers, Chen Ziang also commended their heroic fighting spirit and ordered to improve their treatment.
And as the acting head of the 16th Banner Regiment temporarily, Wang Cheng persuaded many southern troops to surrender, and he also fought quite tenaciously in the battle of Jingyang Mansion.
"From now on, you will serve as the deputy commander of the Qinghe Army's Third Field Army Regiment, responsible for commanding the newly formed troops."
The Marshal Chen Zi'ang also gave clear rewards and punishments, in order to further improve the status of the Southern Army who surrendered.
Therefore, he also took advantage of this opportunity to promote Wang Cheng to the deputy commander of the army, making him the representative of the Qinghe Army who surrendered to the Southern Army.
After all, a large number of southern troops surrendered, but their hearts have not yet fully surrendered, and there is still some unfamiliarity with the original troops of the Qinghe Army.
Now Chen Ziang vigorously promotes Wang Cheng, the former representative of the Southern Army, as a gesture to show to the Southern Army who surrendered.
And after Wang Cheng served as the deputy commander of the Third Army, with the title of deputy commander, he could more easily coordinate and manage the Southern Army who had voted from all walks of life, so as to avoid them being squeezed out by the original Qinghe Army.
Wang Cheng never expected that Chen Ziang would promote him to be the deputy commander of the army. He was also very moved, and decided that the soldier should die for his confidant, and immediately expressed that he would die for Chen Ziang.
?Deputy Army Commander Lei Ming, Han Feng and others saw Wang Cheng, the former surrendered general, suddenly sitting on an equal footing with them. Although they felt a little abrupt, they were relieved when they thought of their achievements, and they all stepped forward to congratulate them.
The general Chen Ziang arrived at the front line. After the news spread, the Qinghe army on the front line was also very excited.
After a night of recuperating and recharging their energy, the troops of the Qinghe Army were busy in accordance with the new deployment early the next morning.
Yuan Jie led the 13th and 12th Banner Regiments to go out to fight the rebels, while Wang Cheng, the deputy head of the army, led the troops to dig trenches, set up fences, and arrange new defensive positions.
The rebels rushed forward as usual, but this time Yuan Jie and the others, who were confronting head-on, no longer confronted the rebels head-on.
When the rebels rushed forward, the crossbowmen they arranged at the front fired one after another.
Seeing that the rebels were approaching, the crossbowmen scattered, and quickly retreated, revealing the crossbowmen behind them.
These crossbowmen continued to shoot and consume the rebels, and those crossbowmen who retreated quickly formed a front to cover the newly withdrawn crossbowmen.
Sometimes the rebels chased too close, and the cavalry would charge, knocking them down and forcing them back.
After such repetitions, instead of being able to fight in close combat, the rebels suffered heavy losses. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
