Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 174 Attack!

In February [-], the snow that covered Jiuyuan Province for a whole winter began to melt, and everything recovered. Although the air was still cold, the industrious residents were no longer like a month ago. Cultivate the land and prepare for the upcoming spring plowing.

The garrison troops of Jiuyuan Province, which had been silent for the whole winter, also began to mobilize frequently. The garrisons in the north and east of Jiuyuan Province were transferred to the front line to fight against the Nanchuan Army, and a large amount of food and luggage were also transported to the In the barracks of the Jiuqu River.

The scouts of the Dynasty army wearing fiery red cloaks also began to appear frequently in the Fenglinkou area at the front of the Nanchuan army. Although they were quickly expelled by the Nanchuan scout Qingqi, the smoke in the air had already begun to fill.

On February [-], Lin Chuan held an emergency military meeting.

More than 20 people participated in the military meeting, including the commanders of the five banner regiments under the First Corps, the chief of staff, the sergeant chief, the chief of staff of the corps, and the sergeant chief. They filled the small conference room of the Heishan Town government office.

The faces of the officers were all excited. They already knew from various sources that a war was about to start. Before the meeting started, the officers had already started whispering and discussing, guessing the main direction of attack this time.

The Nanchuan Army's system of emphasizing military merits made officers and soldiers yearn for war, because war means wealth.

Soon, Corps Chief Lin Chuan and Chief of Staff Li Yunshan walked into the meeting room together.

With the sound of standing at attention and saluting in unison, the officers straightened up and saluted their general.

"Everyone, please sit down." Lin Chuan stretched out his hands and pressed down.

Everyone sat down in unison again, holding their breath and waiting for Lin Chuan's order. Seeing the generals gathered together, Lin Chuan also had a smile on his face. After nearly a year of development, the First Corps has grown so strong up.

Lin Chuan first read the order from the Mucheng Nanchuan Army Commander's Headquarters, formally agreed to Lin Chuan's request to form the Fourth Banner Regiment and the Fifth Cavalry Banner Regiment, and agreed to the appointment of officers.

Although in fact Mu Xue and Wu Jing have become the commanders of the banner regiment, it is another matter to get the approval of Mucheng. Lin Chuan personally gave them the eagle emblem symbolizing the commander of the banner regiment.

"Your Excellency Mu Xue, Your Excellency Wu Jing, please swear an oath to the battle flag." Lin Chuan said loudly after wearing the eagle emblem for them.

Both Mu Xue and Wu Jing clenched their right fists, raised them above their heads, and swore to the black battle flag: "We will always remember our mission, be loyal! Be brave! We will obey orders! Listen to commands! Be an excellent commander of the flag regiment."

With their oath, it was announced that Lin Chuan's First Corps had once again grown in strength, reaching 5 troops, which was unique among the various units of the Nanchuan Army.

Lin Chuan then read out the combat orders of the Nanchuan Army High Command to the First Corps. As the strength of the First Corps increased, the task of the High Command to the First Corps became more difficult.

The High Command requested the First Corps to capture the entire territory of Jiuyuan Province as quickly as possible to create a safe and stable rear for the Nanchuan Army.

"General, just give the order, the soldiers of our First Banner Regiment have already been screaming."

Ye Fei, the commander of the Second Banner Regiment, also said with a smile: "It's fun to watch the scouts kill all day long. We have long been looking forward to killing the Jiuqu River."

Although the war has not yet begun, the scout Qingqi of both sides have already killed inextricably in the open space of hundreds of miles between the two sides.

The Chief of Staff frowned after listening to the order from the High Command and said, "General, with our current strength, if we want to attack the entire Jiuyuan Province, is our strength weaker?"

"Master Chief of Staff, have you forgotten that our three banner regiments beat the crap out of your two garrison regiments back then, and now that we are strong and strong, it is not difficult to break through Jiuyuan City in one fell swoop."

The generals around sighed for a while, Li Yunshan, the chief of staff, was very embarrassed. He was the loser in some battle, but he still reminded: "The previous two times were luck, and it is better to fight steadily."

As soon as the chief of staff said this, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the officers. What is called a fluke, is it really defeated on the battlefield with real swords and guns, okay?

Since the First Corps entered the Jiuyuan Province, it has been fighting smoothly. It defeated the Jiuyuan Iron Cavalry, which is known as the invincible Jiuyuan Province, twice in a row. Therefore, there was a sense of pride in the army. No one listened to the chief of staff's warning.

"The chief of staff is right. This time we must attack steadily, and we must not rush forward alone, so as not to suffer losses." Lin Chuan also reminded.

The generals all nodded in agreement, but Lin Chuan didn't know whether they listened or not.

On February [-], the Linchuan Corps set out from Heishan Town in three groups and attacked northward.

Lin Chuan personally led the First Banner Regiment, the Cavalry Banner Regiment, the Corps directly under the Baggage Team, and the Corps directly under the Guards as the middle road, attacking northward along the provincial road, with the goal of defeating the dynasty garrison deployed on the Jiuqu River.

The Second Banner Regiment led by Ye Fei is the left wing. Their mission is to eliminate all the dynasty garrisons west of Custer City and support the troops in the middle.

The Third Banner Regiment led by Feng Qingyang is a right-wing force. Their main combat goal is the east line of the Jiuqu River, crossing the river from the lower reaches of the Jiuqu River, attacking Keluo City, and forcing the dynasty garrison stationed on the Jiuqu River to return. Defend.

Due to the importance of the Heishan Iron Mine Area, the newly formed Fourth Blood Banner Regiment did not participate in the attack sequence going north this time. They were responsible for staying behind in Heishan Town, where there is the most important iron mine area, so there must be no loss.

The snow had just melted, and the road was muddy, but the morale of the various units of the Nanchuan Army was high, and they were advancing very fast.

Information about the Nanchuan army's attack was quickly placed on the desk of the governor of Jiuyuan Province, Najialuo. Seeing that the Nanchuan army attacked in three ways, the governor Najialuo showed a sneer, and he was thinking about how to eliminate it. The rebels, I didn't expect the rebels to come to the door by themselves.

In the winter that just passed, the governor Najialuo had already dispatched 3 garrison troops from the northern part of the province to the south, and now the number of troops gathered in the provincial capital has exceeded [-]. Troops, the troop in the hands of Governor Najialuo is not weaker than Nanchuan Army.

As a powerful province in the north, Jiuyuan Province has more than [-] cities of various sizes, and its garrison force has reached an astonishing [-]. In addition to the special plain terrain of Jiuyuan Province, it also has a powerful cavalry force. Said that it is precisely because of such a strong strength that Governor Najialuo was able to sit firmly in the position of Provincial Governor for more than ten years.

But now the emergence of the Nanchuan Army has seriously threatened the dominance of Governor Najialuo. He must defeat the invading rebels as soon as possible. It's the end, so this time Governor Najiaro is putting all his eggs in one basket, and if he fails, he will succeed.
