"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 570
In the night, fishing boats rowed along the reed river beach into the Dongjiang River, splashing water.
"Master Yuan, let's cross the river first."
?Beside the reed marshes, the commander of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade, Cheng Fengzi, stood up and saluted, and bid farewell to the deputy army commander Yuan Jie.
Yuan Jie also stood up and returned the salute: "I wish you all the best!"
Under the watchful eyes of Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, Cheng Fengzi turned around and strode towards the river beach, and soon climbed onto a small fishing boat.
"Set off¡ª¡ª"
Following Madman Cheng's order, more than a dozen fishing boats full of assault soldiers from the Qinghe Army rowed slowly towards the south bank of the Dongjiang River, and soon disappeared into the night.
At night, the river was cold, and clouds of mist drifted past the fishing boat's flanks from time to time. Madman Cheng stared at the south bank vigilantly, clutching a sharp triangular saber tightly in his hand.
Beside Cheng Crazy, the soldiers of Qinghe Army's Blade Assault Brigade, who were also full of vigilance, were also holding their weapons tightly.
In addition to the three-edged sword, their weapons are also equipped with these small and light repeating crossbows, which are enough to fire five short arrows in a row.
Whether it is a three-edged sword or a light crossbow, they were all developed by the Second Army of the Qinghe Army.
Although the current output is not high, only the Blade Assault Brigade is equipped, but standardized production has been carried out, and the entire army will be deployed in the near future.
By then, the combat effectiveness of the Qinghe Army Second Corps will be greatly improved.
Madman Cheng and the others did not cross the river from the front of Xilang Port, but crossed the river about ten miles downstream to avoid encountering the navy patrol of the Dynasty Southern Army.
Now most of the Jiangbei Province is controlled by the Qinghe Army. Although it is blocked by the wide Dongjiang River, the Southern Army still dare not be careless.
Now on the Dongjiang River, there are naval patrols belonging to the Southern Army. In addition to intercepting the convoys that smuggle supplies, there is also a task of monitoring the Qinghe Army.
Fortunately, the Qinghe Army has never intended to go south, and the Southern Army is now fighting with Yang Hao's troops again, so the defense on the south bank of the Dongjiang River is not as tight as imagined.
Cheng Fengzi and the others chose to cross the river at a time when the southern army and navy patrols were in between, so they arrived at the south bank without anyone noticing.
After arriving at the south bank, they quickly moved towards the surrounding area, and after confirming that there was no enemy situation nearby, they waved torches and signaled to the opposite bank.
The main force of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade, which had already been on the alert, crossed the river in more than a hundred fishing boats and cargo ships, and arrived at the south bank under the cover of night.
"Jijiu¡ª¡ª"
When 2,000 soldiers from the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade had just arrived at the south bank to assemble, suddenly the sound of waterfowl sounded in the distance.
"Shhh¡ª"
Crazy Cheng made a gesture, and the soldiers who were carrying weapons down from the fishing boat suddenly fell silent.
On a trail not far from the south bank, more than a dozen pine torches appeared, and a shore patrol team of the Southern Army was patrolling the night.
"Damn, the luck tonight is so fucking bad!"
A small Confederate officer in the lead was cursing as he walked, because he had just lost a lot of money in a bet.
The soldiers following the little officer were also as quiet as cicadas, not daring to breathe.
Because they know that their chief is in a bad mood every time he loses money, and if he is annoyed, he will definitely suffer.
"Oops¡ª¡ª"
The soldiers of the Confederate Army patrol were all walking and talking, but one soldier accidentally fell.
"Wang San, you bastard, scare me!"
The officer angrily walked over and kicked the soldier who fell to the ground, causing the soldier to grin his teeth but dare not speak.
"What are you still doing in a daze, get up and don't waste time, after this tour, I have to go back to sleep."
Seeing the soldiers who didn't get up, the little officer couldn't help but cursed again.
The soldier named Wang San crawled up obediently, but when he got up with support, he suddenly saw a cold light glowing in the reeds beside the road.
"My lord, there seems to be something in the reeds?"
Although the cold light passed away in a flash, Wang San still thumped in his heart, and hurriedly called the little officer to stop.
The soldiers of this patrol team all cast their eyes on the reed not far away.?, a soldier even pushed the torch forward.
"Could it be a water duck?"
"Hahaha, go and have a look, maybe we can get something to go with the wine."
"Shhhhhhh!"
But before they could see the situation clearly, dense arrows enveloped them like a rainstorm.
"Puff puff!"
These arrows were dense and penetrating, and the soldiers of the Confederate Army patrol fell into a pool of blood without even responding.
A group of black shadows with sharp knives jumped out of the reeds, and the gleaming sharp knives stabbed at the corpses all over the ground.
"Safety!"
The soldiers of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade breathed a sigh of relief until they gave every patrol soldier of the Southern Army a knife.
"Throw the corpse into the grass, and the rest follow me!"
Commander Cheng Crazy came out of the reeds, glanced at the corpses everywhere, and immediately waved his hand, leading the crowd to Xilang Port ten miles away.
There were several outposts set up by the Southern Army along the way, but before they could issue an early warning, they were killed by scouts from the agile Blade Assault Brigade.
The Blade Assault Brigade is the elite carefully selected from the entire army, and the scouts of the Blade Assault Brigade are the elite of the elite.
The Southern Army has been stationed in the fertile southern region all year round, and its vigilance and responsiveness have also declined a lot.
Facing the elite scouts of the Qinghe army who came out of the flames of war, they were naturally no match.
In just an hour's time, Cheng Fengzi led two thousand soldiers from the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade to arrive at Xilang Port out of breath.
"The first team is responsible for capturing the port!"
"The second team is responsible for occupying the town!"
"The third team is in charge of raiding the barracks!"
After resting for less than half an hour, Madman Cheng gave the order to attack.
The soldiers of the two thousand blade assault brigade rushed towards their target like a tiger descending a mountain.
"who?!"
Seeing a large number of people approaching in the dark, the Southern Army sentry on the sentry tower poked his head out to ask.
"Shhhhh!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, two short arrows pierced through his standard leather armor, and he fell from the sentry tower.
"There are enemies!"
"There are enemies!"
Seeing the sentinels falling heavily not far from him, the drowsy guard soldier also shouted in horror.
"Puff!"
Before the dozen or so soldiers on guard could respond, the arrows from the Liannu knocked them down.
The Blade Assault Brigade was equipped with almost one crossbow per person. Before they got close, the enemy had already been brought down by them.
They rushed towards their target with lightning speed, and they were simply unstoppable.
Although there are 5,000 Southern Army soldiers stationed in Xilang Port, most of them are sleeping soundly in the barracks.
When the wolf-like soldiers of the Qinghe Army's Sharp Blade Assault Brigade quickly eliminated the sentinels and broke into the camp, they were still asleep.
"Kill!"
"Puff!"
"ah!"
The soldiers of the Sharp Blade Assault Brigade were straightforward. They rushed into the tent in groups of three and five, raising their knives and dropping them. Many Southern Army soldiers went to see Lord Hades in their sleep.
Although many disheveled Southern Army soldiers rushed out of the tent in a hurry, they were confronted with countless cold arrows, and then fell into a pool of blood in a daze.
The battle was almost one-sided. Although the soldiers of the Southern Army tried to resist with their weapons, they were so powerless in the face of the powerful and well-equipped sharp-blade assault brigade.
