Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 147 Attacking Heifengkou

"Master Sergeant, look!" Liu Erhu shouted, pointing at the mountains in the distance.

Tu Yue, the sergeant commander of the regiment who was marching rapidly, stopped in a hurry and looked up in the direction of Liu Erhu's finger. On the mountain in the distance, a bonfire was burning. The fire was like a bolt of lightning in the dark night, dazzling and gorgeous.

"No, it's a bonfire warning!" Sergeant Tu Yue's face changed, "The Dynasty Army has found us!"

Sure enough, as the first blaze appeared on the mountain, in the farther mountains, the blaze appeared one after another, stretching to the distance.

Sergeant Major Tu Yue roared: "All run forward!"

The [-] soldiers of the Banner Battalion led by Tuyue all saw the fire in the distant mountains. Under Tuyue's order, they rushed forward on the snow, and they wanted to reach Heifengkou before the arrival of enemy reinforcements.

Lin Chuan also saw the flames on the mountain. He had a serious face, and he was worried about whether Tu Yue would be able to capture Heifengkou.

"Cath, come here." Lin Chuan waved to the deputy commander, Sith.

Lin Chuan said with a serious face: "Now that the Dynasty army has discovered us, we can't wait any longer. You bring the supply troops to the rear, and I will lead the troops first."

As the rapid copper whistle sounded in the queue, the orderly with a small black flag on his back shouted hoarsely: "The general has an order, throw away all the burden! Charge lightly!"

"The general has an order, throw away all the burden! Charge lightly!"

Officers at all levels hurriedly yelled at the troops: "Throw away everything except the battle armor and weapons!"

The marching blankets, water bags, and various small objects carried by the soldiers were thrown on both sides of the road, making clanking and colliding sounds.

The soldiers ran forward with big strides, white mist rose from their mouths with rapid breathing, and the weapons and armor made clanging sounds.

Running in a hurry, thousands of combat boots stepped heavily on the snow, making a dull sound, and mud splashed.

Lin Chuan held Sith's hand and said solemnly: "Old man, please."

Sith nodded seriously: "General, don't worry, we will follow you as soon as possible with the crossbow and other supplies."

On a cold winter night, tens of thousands of soldiers from the Nanchuan First Corps ran wildly in the forest. They were sweating profusely, and their uniforms could squeeze out water.

Although they were out of breath, none of the soldiers stopped. Their eyes were firm and they moved quickly.

In the forest, under the cover of snow, the thorns cut through the skin of the soldiers. Some soldiers tripped over stones and fell to the ground, their heads were bleeding, but no difficulty could stop them from moving forward.

The soldiers of the Nanchuan Army have now undergone formal training. The most basic subject is the five-kilometer armed cross-country every morning. Before, some officers and soldiers complained that Lin Chuan was too harsh and ruthless, but at the moment they are very grateful to this general.

When the Nanchuan Corps was rushing forward in the forest, a low-pitched horn sounded at Heifengkou.

The dynasty barracks at Heifengkou was like a huge insect nest, and countless dynasty soldiers rushed out of the barracks towards the defense line.

The fires in the mountains in the distance are like dazzling stars in the dark night, burning blazingly, and the beacon smoke rises, which also heralds the coming of war.

Ten miles away from Heifengkou, there is a dynasty army camp, where the Second Garrison Corps of Jiuyuan Province is stationed, all of which are all cavalry.

Their main task is to guard against the northward movement of the Nanchuan Army. After receiving the warning of the fire, [-] cavalry have rumbled out of the camp and rushed towards Heifengkou.

In the dark night, the cavalry was urging their horses to run wildly, and some people kept falling off their horses and swearing.

Because no one thought that on this cold winter night, the Nanchuan army would not sleep well and came to make a surprise attack. The cavalry had silently greeted the eighteen generations of the Nanchuan army ancestors in their hearts.

In the open field, [-] cavalry galloped and galloped, like a torrent making a loud bang, the earth trembled, and the flags were rolled up in the wind.

At this moment, the commanders of both sides knew the importance of Heifengkou. Unknowingly, they were stuck between the mountains. Heifengkou, which normally existed as a checkpoint, suddenly became the focus of contention between the two sides. Whoever occupies this place will take the initiative.

This is a contest between cavalry and infantry, this is an unfair speed competition, but at this moment the commanders of both sides have increased their horsepower, rushing towards the Heifengkou, and then rushing!
At four o'clock in the morning, the Nanchuan Army's [-]-man advance team arrived at Heifengkou first under the leadership of the sergeant major. Regardless of the exhaustion of the long-distance raid, he ordered an attack on Heifengkou.

At this moment, there were only [-] soldiers left in the advance team of [-] soldiers. Under the leadership of the sergeant major, they charged towards the Heifengkou. Panting heavily, the soldiers rushed towards the Heifengkou, which had a simple line of defense, holding their bayonets.

Guarding at Heifengkou was a [-]-member garrison of Jiuyuan Province. When they saw the fire warning, they were attacked by the advance troops of the Nanchuan Army as soon as they entered the line of defense.

This was a hasty offensive and defensive battle. The defending dynasty's thousand-man team was in disarray. Many people gathered hastily before they even had time to put on their battle armor, and even put their bows and arrows in the barracks.

As for the attacking Nanchuan army, they had just gone through a long-distance raid, and before they had time to take a breath, they rushed into the battle, and their combat power was also greatly reduced.

Heifengkou belongs to a gap between two mountains. To the south of Heifengkou is a vast forest, and to the north of Heifengkou is a flat wilderness.

The terrain of Heifengkou is very gentle, with a width of 500 meters. The dynasty soldiers stationed here dug deep trenches, erected deer firewood and fences, and pulled up barbed wire and laid them at the forefront.

"Attack!" The sergeant of the Nanchuan Thousand-Man Squad roared like thunder, and it exploded in the night sky, shaking people's eardrums with pain.

In the darkness, the sergeants of the thousand-man team took the lead, carrying sharp swords and firm round shields, and rushed towards the defense line of the Heifengkou Dynasty soldiers.

"Shoot the arrows! Let the arrows go!" Fear and despair were hidden in the stern voice of the officer of the Dynasty Army.

Wang Dynasty soldiers didn't know how many Nanchuan troops fell to the ground in the darkness, they only saw black shadows rushing towards them one after another. The faces of the panicked soldiers were full of fear, and their hands couldn't help shaking.

Under the roar of the officer, the bow and arrow centurion quickly shot the first round of arrow rain. The arrows whizzed and knocked the soldiers of the Nanchuan Army who were running in the front to the ground. Blood flew and dyed the snow red.

The Nanchuan sergeants are all veterans of many battles. They lowered their bodies as low as possible and curled up behind the shields. When the arrow rain passed, they quickly jumped up. Within a few jumps, they had already advanced several meters.

With the sound of tearing, more than a dozen sergeants running at the front raised their knives and split the barbed wire, and more than a dozen holes appeared immediately, and Nanchuan soldiers rushed in along the holes.

With the shrill screams, some Nanchuan soldiers fell into the ditch filled with sharpened wood. The wooden spear pierced their bodies, and there were desperate screams from the ditch.

But no one stopped at this moment. The sergeants strode across the ditch and charged at the archers of the Dynasty soldiers not far away. For the Nanchuan soldiers who did not have long-range strike capabilities, the archers of the Dynasty soldiers were a huge threat.
