Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 190 Nine Plains Cavalry!Invincible!
It must be said that it was a miracle that Lin Chuan repelled the chasing cavalry of tens of thousands of dynasties with four thousand remnants, which is unique in the history of war in the mainland.

Of course, repelling the pursuers on the way to retreat undoubtedly greatly boosted the low morale of the First Corps.

The cavalry of the Fifth Banner Regiment were assembled from Black Mountain miners. They formed an army less than half a year ago, but they repelled the so-called invincible Jiuyuan iron cavalry with inferior forces. Although less than 800 people survived, their record is enough They are proud.

"We are the Jiuyuan cavalry!" Lin Chuan looked at the bloody surviving cavalry and announced that the title of Jiuyuan cavalry had changed hands.

"Jiuyuan cavalry! Invincible in the world!"

"Jiuyuan cavalry! Invincible in the world!"

The eight hundred cavalry roared in unison, their voices were earth-shattering. Hearing the roar coming from behind, Jiuyuan Cavalry General Yingtan had mixed feelings in his heart. It was his own failures that ruined the title of Dynasty Jiuyuan Cavalry Invincible in the World.

Yingtan really wanted to command the cavalry to fight back and regain the honor of his own army, but thinking of Lin Chuan's stalwart killing, Yingtan fled faster.

Lin Chuan's cavalry suffered heavy losses, and less than 800 survived. However, this battle also showed the ferocity and prestige of the Nanchuan cavalry, which made the dynasty cavalry flee.

Lin Chuan did not order to chase down the defeated dynasty cavalry, because the victory was just a fluke, and when the dynasty cavalry made a comeback, the only troops he had left were not enough for the opponent's teeth.

The current disadvantage of the Nanchuan Army compared to the Dynasty Army is that no matter how many Dynasty troops the Nanchuan Army destroys, they will soon be able to recruit civilians and reorganize them into the battlefield. However, the Nanchuan Army is different. Due to the population base, their soldiers are more precious. One death is one less.

The Linchuan Corps successfully withdrew to Heishan Town, and several battles took place between the chasing dynasty army and the Nanchuan army, and the two sides won and lost each other.

During Lin Chuan's expedition, the Muxue Banner Regiment who stayed behind in Heishan Town did not sit idle. According to Lin Chuan's instructions, they organized the residents of Heishan Town and the surrounding villagers to build Heishan Town into a military fortress.

Along the outskirts of Heishan Town, Muxue built countless fortress groups. These fortress groups are like small cities, densely arranged on the outskirts of Heishan Town.

The fortress groups are connected by tunnels, and there are shooting holes in the fortresses, which can be used to station troops and fight. Nanchuan soldiers can rely on the fortress groups to fight.

In addition to the large number of fortresses, Heishan Town has become a strong fortress. Tens of thousands of people have been working around the clock for more than a month. A city wall has been built around the entire Heishan Town. The city wall is as high as a three-story building.

The main part of the city wall is made of earth, and the outer layer is piled with blue bricks. For the defense of the city wall, all the bluestone slabs on the streets of Heishan Town were pried away.

The entire Heishan Town has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Lin Chuan, who had retreated back, was amazed. He did not expect that the task he had given to Mu Xue, Mu Xue had completed so well, and he had greatly reduced Mu Xue's ability.

The First Corps went north to attack Jiuyuan Province. When it went out, there were three infantry banner regiments, one cavalry banner regiment, and more than 4 logistics troops. Less than half of them returned to the Montenegro Fortress and suffered heavy losses.

The retreating soldiers looked exhausted and disheveled, completely unable to see the bright armor of the expedition, and their morale was high. The soldiers looked depressed and moved forward feebly.

The left-behind Muxueqi head led the left-behind officials out for ten miles. When they saw the returning troops, their faces were solemn. They did not expect the Nanchuan Army to suffer such a heavy defeat.

"General, Mu Xue, head of the Fourth Banner, salutes you." Seeing Lin Chuan approaching, Mu Xue rushed to greet him, raising his right fist in a standard military salute.

Lin Chuan got off his horse, walked forward, looked at Mu Xue's bloodshot eyes, held his hand and said, "I've worked hard for you during this time..."

Mu Xue stayed at the rear, not only to guard the back of the First Corps, but also to build the Black Mountain Fortress. The task was so heavy that Mu Xue didn't have a good sleep at all, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Mu Xue was moved: "General, hurry into the city, I've prepared food."

The Nanchuan soldiers retreated in a panic and returned to the Black Mountain Fortress. They were finally safe. They had been chased and beaten by the Dynasty army for the past few days, and they were already exhausted.

However, Mu Xue had already prepared a large amount of food, which made the hungry and cold soldiers very grateful.

Lin Chuan didn't care about eating, so he held an emergency military meeting, and all the leaders were in charge. Of course, the position of the second banner commander Ye Fei has been vacated. He has already died in the battle in Koluo City, Jiuyuan Province. .

The atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit dignified. After all, this was a meeting held after the defeat of the war. Many familiar faces had disappeared, including Ye Fei, the head of the Second Banner, Li Keke, the sergeant, and Zheng Duo, the chief of staff...

Lin Chuan made a profound summary of the defeat: "I first apologize to the chief of staff for this hasty northern expedition, and I will listen to your advice every day and make steady progress."

Lin Chuan first bowed to Li Yunshan, chief of staff, and admitted his mistake.

At the beginning of the war, the Chief of Staff *** proposed that the offensive should not be rushed, but it was overruled by the fanatical officers at that time. Now it seems that Li Yunshan, the chief of staff, was right.

Lin Chuan conducted an in-depth analysis of his own command issues and the problems of various troops during attack and retreat, and expressed his views on the Ye Feiqi regiment's lone army going deep and eventually being gathered and wiped out by the Dynasty army.

In fact, Lin Chuan was very heartbroken. First of all, Ye Fei was a general who was single-handedly picked up by himself. Given time, he would be able to take charge alone. Unfortunately, he died in battle now, which is a huge loss for the First Corps.

In addition, the Second Banner Regiment has always been the main force of the First Corps. Now it has been wiped out, which is equivalent to cutting off Lin Chuan's arm. The Corps' combat power continues to decline. It will be difficult for the Corps to recover within a year or two.

In addition to the Second Banner Regiment, although Feng Qingyang's Third Banner Regiment was not completely wiped out, less than a thousand soldiers retreated, and there were still many serious injuries. The three battalions under its banner were almost wiped out, with heavy losses... …

Wu Jing's cavalry flag regiment has lost its combat power now. They also suffered heavy losses in the process of blocking the pursuers. The remaining [-] cavalry can no longer form combat power and can only be used as scouts before rebuilding.

There are five banner regiments under the First Corps, and the only ones that maintain a complete organizational system are the Xiao Zhan First Banner Corps and the blood-soaked Fourth Banner Corps. They have now become the main force under Lin Chuan's command.

In a hasty northward attack, the Linchuan First Corps returned overnight before liberation, not to mention the loss of troops. Now that the dynasty army is overwhelming the border, whether it can hold the Black Mountain Fortress is still a problem.

The meeting lasted until the evening, and the officers participating in the meeting left in a hurry, and soon the various troops began to enter a state of war.

The blood-soaked Fourth Banner Regiment entered the defensive position of the fortress. Countless arrows and logs were continuously sent to the walls of the Black Mountain Fortress. Disciplined soldiers with red armbands walked to the intersection of the streets and began to impose martial law. Shin ran south.

The situation in the Montenegro Fortress is grim now. The defeat just experienced has caused heavy losses to the First Corps, but the Dynasty Army has followed closely. If they cannot hold the Montenegro Iron Mine, then all the efforts made in the past period of time will be in vain. The Nanchuan Army will once again face the plight of a serious shortage of weapons and equipment.
