Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 185 Interrogation of Prisoners
In April [-], under the massive counterattack of the Dynasty Army, the various units of Lin Chuan's First Corps had already retreated to the banks of the Jiuqu River.

On the front line of the Jiuqu River, the Nanchuan army stabilized their retreat and began to build a line of defense to stop the pursuers. The trenches dug overnight were erected with barbed wire. The Nanchuan soldiers were fighting to the death with this simple fortification and the chasing dynasty army .

Countless Nanchuan soldiers who had lost their organizational system were reorganized and put into the battlefield. A steady stream of wounded soldiers were brought down from the front line. troops.

At the forefront of the Nanchuan Army's defense line, various troops of the Dynasty Army continued to gather from all directions, and the number reached an astonishing 7 people. The dense array made people feel chills on the back.

In the headquarters, Lin Chuan's eyes were red and bloodshot. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head and saw Li Yunshan, the chief of staff with a tired face, walking in.

"Is there no news about the Second Banner Regiment?" Lin Chuan asked.

The Second Banner Regiment had lost contact with Lin Chuan for ten days, and the lives and deaths of ten thousand Nanchuan soldiers were unknown. Now Lin Chuan was eager to know the news about Ye Fei and the Second Banner Regiment.

Li Yunshan walked up to the pony in front of Lin Chuan and sat down, with a look of grief on his face, and said in a low voice: "Just captured a few prisoners of the Dynasty Army, they said that the Second Banner Regiment was wiped out by them north of Keluo City "

"Impossible. There are more than 1 people in the Second Banner Regiment. It is impossible that none of them escaped." Lin Chuan didn't believe this was true at all.

The Second Banner Regiment belongs to one of the most powerful banner regiments under Lin Chuan's command. Many of its officers are from Xing Tu. The army was wiped out.

"General, I am also very sad, but the truth"

"I want to interrogate the prisoners myself!" Lin Chuan stood up and said.

After a while, Lin Chuan came to the military tent where the prisoners were held.

"I tell you, you surrender quickly. The Central Army of the Dynasty has arrived in the province, and you will be destroyed soon. If you surrender now, you can still survive! Let us go quickly—" Outside the military tent, Lin Chuan heard the captives Arrogant voice.

Lin Chuan opened the curtain and walked in. The two interrogators hurriedly stood at attention and saluted with embarrassment. They were originally the ones who were interrogating the prisoners, but in fact, now that the Nanchuan Army was defeated and the morale of the Chao Dynasty Army was so strong that even they were not confident enough to lead them.

Seeing the golden eagle badge on Lin Chuan's neckline, the captive spoke out loudly: "You are an officer, let me go, and I will recommend you to be the city lord from Mr. Apollo."

"Presumptuous!" The interrogator was furious when he saw the captive being so arrogant.

"Your doomsday has come, I advise you to let us go in the right time, and don't struggle too much." Another prisoner, without the slightest awareness of being a prisoner, shouted loudly, even the guards outside the tent able to hear.

Lin Chuan ignored the clamor of the prisoners, walked up to one of the prisoners and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the news about the Second Banner Regiment? Tell me the specific situation, and I can let you go."

"We don't know what the Second Banner Regiment is. We killed too many rebels. Which road are you talking about? It can't be the one where we piled up heads, hahahaha." A prisoner laughed wildly."

"Pfft!" Blood splattered, and a large head rolled to the ground. The two interrogators opened their mouths in shock. They didn't expect that Lin Chuan would kill someone if he didn't agree with each other.

Lin Chuan walked up to the No.2 prisoner with a bloody saber and continued, "Tell me about the Second Banner Regiment, and I can let you go."

When the prisoner saw the head rolling to the ground, his eyes showed horror. He looked at this gentle young general speechless for a while.

With a puff, another prisoner's head fell to the ground. Lin Chuan didn't want to waste too much time.

"I said, I said—" The last prisoner was afraid that he had finished speaking, Lin Chuan's saber came down, and he couldn't wait to speak before Lin Chuan could speak.

Lin Chuan walked back to the interrogator's seat and sat down, listening to the captives describe how the Second Banner Regiment was defeated in the dark and how those who escaped were caught up and killed.

Listening to the captives' description, Lin Chuan finally knew why he hadn't heard from the Second Banner Regiment for so long. There was only one reason, and that was the entire army of the Second Banner Regiment was wiped out.

Thinking of the [-] soldiers of the Second Banner Regiment fighting to the death on a land full of enemies, and facing the endless stream of enemies, and finally they died fighting hard, my heart was filled with deep self-blame, why didn't I discover the enemy's conspiracy in advance .

When he heard that the heads of the soldiers of the Second Banner Regiment had been chopped off and piled up into a landscape of several heads, Lin Chuan became angry, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood due to anger.

"Damn Ye Fei!" Lin Chuan slammed his fist on the table, and the entire table was instantly smashed to pieces. The eyes of the two interrogators were filled with horror. They did not expect that their general's military strength had reached such a superb level.

Because of Ye Fei's greed, the entire Second Banner Regiment was annihilated in the end. Lin Chuan covered his face with his hands, and his heart was full of grief. Ten thousand soldiers just disappeared. This is the entry of the Corps into Jiuyuan Province The worst loss ever.

The situation of the Second Banner Regiment has been clarified. It is meaningless for the First Corps to continue to insist on the Jiuqu River, because the Second Banner Regiment they are waiting for has been wiped out
Lin Chuan strode out of the camp where the prisoners were held, and Li Yunshan waited for him outside the camp.

"Yunshan, prepare to retreat." Lin Chuan said.

Now the various troops of the Dynasty Army are coming in a steady stream. Relying on the simple fortifications of the Jiuqu River, even if the Dynasty Army is blocked, the First Corps will suffer heavy losses. Lin Chuan is going to withdraw to the Black Mountain Iron Mine Area.

On the front line of Fengyekou outside the Heishan Iron Mine Area, the left-behind Muxue Banner Regiment has built a large number of strong fortifications, as long as they hold there, they wait for the reinforcements from Mucheng.

On the night of April [-]th, the Nanchuan Army on the front line of the Jiuqu River began to withdraw in an orderly manner under the cover of night. The Linchuan Corps' first attack on Jiuyuan Province failed with heavy losses.

The withdrawal of the Nanchuan Army quickly alarmed the Dynasty Army on the other side of the Jiuqu River. Numerous noble private troops and provincial garrison troops began to cross the river and prepare to pursue them. Now in their eyes, the Linchuan Army Corps is like a boiled duck. flew.

Because there was no resistance from the Nanchuan Army, the Dynasty Army began to cross the Jiuqu River in a mighty manner. Since the bridge had already been burned by the Nanchuan Army, the Dynasty Army had to use fishing boats to cross the river. The cavalry troops crossed the river directly. In the Quhe River, like dumplings, it was densely packed with imperial troops.

"Let's do it!" On the upper reaches of the Jiuqu River, Wu Jing of the Nanchuan Cavalry Banner Regiment said coldly.

At some point, the reservoir on the upper reaches of the Jiuqu River was captured by the Nanchuan cavalry. Following Wu Jing's order, the Nanchuan soldiers dug the dam of the reservoir, and the majestic water flowed downstream.

Facing the huge roar, the soldiers of the dynasty who were crossing the river watched the white water rolling in, screamed and ran away, but were quickly swallowed by the flood
