When he learned that the Second Cavalry Army had discovered the enemy's traces, Zhang Hanqiu had been waiting for the follow-up information of the Second Cavalry Army.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Second Cavalry Corps finally received important information that they had successfully found the enemy's main force and were now rushing to the enemy's main force according to the order to carry out the task of pinning down.

According to the report of the Second Cavalry Army, the position of the Quyang Prefecture Intervention Army was about 15 kilometers northwest of the current location of the Second Cavalry Army and about 23 kilometers northwest of the main force of the Second Army.

Immediately, Zhang Hanqiu ordered the headquarters to speed up the march and approach quickly!

At the same time, he did not forget to send someone to report to Lin Ziran in the rear that he had found the enemy army and was maneuvering and approaching, and it was expected to engage the main force of the Quyang Prefecture Intervention Army tomorrow.

Because of the distance, even if the herald changed horses and galloped all the way, it was still night when the report arrived at the railway station on the southern outskirts of Chongke City, which was where Lin Ziran's headquarters was currently located.

After reading the report, Lin Ziran said: "Tell Hanqiu, let him let go of his hands and feet, don't worry, don't scruple, this battle is related to the situation in Zisheng Prefecture, the situation in the southern states, and the unification of Daheng, the officers and men of the whole army must do their best to fight for the unification of Daheng!" ”

"When he returns victorious, I will personally award him a medal!"

The adjutant on his body directly took the paper money and wrote it down, and soon after the reply letter reached the herald's hand, and then the herald rode his horse and disappeared into the night.

At about nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhang Hanqiu rode on a war horse and looked at the huge defense line and camp of the Quyang Prefecture Intervention Army with a telescope!

According to the report of the Second Cavalry Army, after the enemy was discovered by the Second Cavalry Army yesterday, it once wanted to send cavalry to intercept it, but their cavalry was not large, only less than 10,000 cavalry, and they could not stop the Second Cavalry Army at all.

After a large-scale battle between the cavalry of the two sides, the enemy cavalry lost at least 1,000 and was forced to retreat, and other troops were also forced to garrison on the spot and build a defensive line.

The main force of the Second Army, led by Zhang Hanqiu himself, camped on the spot for the night after marching for a period of time yesterday afternoon, rested early, and began to march at about 4 o'clock in the morning the next day.

After a morning's march, we finally arrived here!

Looking at the defense line and the huge camp built by the enemy army in a hurry, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Hanqiu's mouth!

This battle is stable!

With the South Navy's ability to attack fortified positions, even a strong defense line in the field such as the Hetai Defense Line, it could not withstand the attack of the South China Navy, let alone these hastily constructed field defense lines.

These Quyang Prefecture intervention troops came from the First Army Corps and the Second Army Corps of Quyang Prefecture, not the Second Army Corps that attacked Nanhai Prefecture and finally led to the annihilation of more than 100,000 troops in the south.

In other words, they hadn't fought the South China Navy before!

Although they know more or less some information about the South China Navy, all of this information is relatively general and basic, and they don't know anything except that the South China Navy's rear-loading guns are relatively powerful.

And for some more detailed things, if you don't personally fight with the South China Navy, it is actually difficult to find.

For example, if it is said that the enemy army of the Southern Navy has fought, even if it is the previous Zishengzhou Army, they will know: Don't fight positional battles with the Southern Navy face-to-face in the field!

This is purely self-defeating.

If you can, you would rather risk being attacked by enemy cavalry than leave the area, either by dispersing and fighting a small ambush or by choosing a defensive battle.

However, don't have a head-on battle with the Southern Navy in this gentle wilderness terrain!

Because, this will give almost the advantage of the Southern Navy!

Troops, firepower, cavalry, light infantry tactics, and more.

Zhang Hanqiu had just arrived at the battlefield and saw the enemy looking like he was on a posture to face the battle, and he had already made a judgment in his heart about this battle: Stable!

The subsequent course of the war was almost the same as Zhang Hanqiu expected, without the slightest change.

When the main force of the Second Army arrived, it hurriedly pulled out the division's artillery to shell the enemy's dense formation and defensive line.

Then the infantry scattered and leaped to launch a continuous onslaught, and then ......

Then the enemy's frontal defense line was brutally knocked out, and it was estimated that the other side had not reacted in the whole process, and the frontal Chinese army collapsed.

The cavalry then launched a flank charge, covering the battle and expanding the victory.

More than two hours after the two sides officially fought, the 70,000-strong army of Quyang Prefecture had already been declared history.

Compared with the hardships fought by the Southern Navy in Chongke City a few days ago, this battle with the 70,000 intervening troops in Quyangzhou hardly showed any difficulties for the Southern Navy.

It took only two days from the discovery of the enemy's main force by the cavalry unit to the total annihilation of the enemy army.

The 70,000 Quyang Prefecture army suffered at least 10,000 casualties, some surrendered, and quite a few fled without a trace.

Zhang Hanqiu didn't spend much energy to pursue or anything like that, and after defeating the 70,000 intervening troops in Quyang Prefecture, except for leaving no more than 1,000 troops and escorting nearly 30,000 prisoners, the other main forces quickly moved north.

He's going to join the 1st Cavalry Army to the north.

When Zhang Hanqiu led the main force north, Lin Ziran in the rear also learned the news of the victory of the front-line troops in a later time.

"Pretty fight!"

Lin Ziran was very satisfied with this battle, and looking at the careful battle report, he was already able to describe the battle situation at that time in his mind.

The whole campaign was swift and decisive, without the slightest delay, and it was almost a full play of the advantages of cavalry, firepower and infantry tactics of the Southern Navy.

The South China Navy has fought so many battles, but it has never encountered such a situation of all-round superiority.

In the end, 10,000 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded, more than 30,000 prisoners were captured, and another 20,000 enemies were missing.

On their own side, there were only more than 1,000 casualties.

And the most important thing is that the attacking force was not held back by this Quyang Prefecture intervention army, but cleanly took only two days to kill the enemy, and then was able to turn around and go north.

This brought rare and precious time to the Southern Navy!

The main force led by Zhang Hanqiu can quickly move north, so the First Cavalry Army will not have to use inferior troops to fight against the enemy's army of more than 100,000 or 200,000.

After Zhang Hanqiu and the First Cavalry Army converged, they could gather four infantry divisions and seven cavalry divisions to meet the troops in the north, and then take out the first batch of intervening armies in the northern states with absolute superiority.

Finally, they faced the second group of intervention troops in the northern states.

In the end, they want to kill all the reinforcements, and then return to Chongke City, and cooperate with other main forces to take Chongke City, so as to complete the entire northward strategy, lay the absolute dominant position of the Southern Navy in the entire south of Daheng, and lay the foundation for the unification of Daheng!

Lin Ziran understands this, and Zhang Hanqiu and other senior front-line generals also understand
