Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 196 The New Sixth Corps
After nearly a year of recuperation, the Nanchuan Army has come out of the trough after the Battle of Sanggan River, and its strength has grown further.

Since the Battle of Sanggan River, the Nanchuan Army Command has conducted a profound summary and reflection, and then carried out drastic reforms in all aspects of the army and government affairs, with remarkable results.

Through the implementation of the compulsory military service system, the Nanchuan Army has obtained a steady stream of soldiers. In the past six months, the Nanchuan Army has organized five new regiments on the basis of the original four regiments. Now the Nanchuan Army Command directly controls nine regular troops. A corps, nearly 30 people.

In addition to the regular army, a garrison force was established under the command of the Nanchuan Army Command in each town. The main tasks of the garrison force are to maintain law and order in the jurisdiction and suppress bandits, so as to free the regular army from the daily garrison work and concentrate on their work. Training and readiness.

With the increase of military strength, the area controlled by the Nanchuan Army is also expanding. The general Xia Ge stationed on the front line of the Sanggan River has pushed the defense line to the south by three hundred miles. In the past few months, the elimination and reorganization of the dynasty The army has fifteen banner battalions with outstanding military exploits.

The local garrison of the Dynasty Army in Nanchuan Province, the Central Army and the noble armed forces do not have a unified command organization. Because of the many conflicts among them, they fight on their own. Therefore, for the new Nanchuan Army at present, no longer a threat.

As General Xia Ge pushed the line of defense to the south by three hundred miles, the defense depth of the entire Nanchuan Army was further extended. In the south, the Nanchuan Army concentrated nearly [-] troops in three regiments, maintaining its defense against the Dynasty Army in Nanchuan Province. The pressure was so strong that the Dynasty army did not dare to act rashly.

The Nanchuan Army's policy of light corvettes and low taxes has attracted a large number of refugees. For these refugees, the Nanchuan Army has accepted them all, and the local government will distribute farm tools and seeds to help the refugees cultivate wasteland, and they are tax-free for one year.

Attracted by a large number of favorable policies, the population in the area controlled by the Nanchuan Army is now close to an astonishing 600 million. The large population has not only brought prosperity to the Nanchuan area, but also a steady stream of soldiers.

The refugees who settled down in the area ruled by the Nanchuan Army no longer have a sense of belonging to the dynasty, so when the dynasty army comes to take back their land and hand it back to the nobles, they are a hundred of them unwilling, so any young and strong must either join The Nanchuan Army is either in charge of law and order in the local garrison, or becomes a village soldier, who works in agriculture on weekdays and is incorporated into the army during wartime, ready to go to the battlefield to defend the fruits of victory at any time.

The rapid growth and strength of the Nanchuan Army has aroused the vigilance of the Dynasty. In the past few months, the Central Army of the Dynasty has dispatched a large number of troops to the territory of Nanchuan Province, and the surrounding provinces are also dispatching troops with frequent actions.

The Far East Dynasty is mobilizing a powerful army, trying to wipe out the nascent Nanchuan military regime in its infancy. According to intelligence, there are currently nearly [-] dynasty troops heading to Nanchuan province, trying to wipe out the Nanchuan army with a thunderbolt.

Facing the severe test, the Nanchuan Army Command has already felt a strong survival crisis. On the southern front, the southern front troops commanded by General Xia Ge have stopped attacking and turned to defense, and continue to send more troops to the south to strengthen the southern front. defense force.

At the same time, the Nanchuan Army Command also turned its attention to Jiuyuan Province in the north.

The area controlled by the Nanchuan Army is now limited to a small part of the northern and central parts of Nanchuan Province, and the defense depth is insufficient. Under the imminent powerful offensive of the Dynasty Army, there is insufficient room for strategic maneuvering.

Therefore, the Nanchuan Army Command tried to quickly take down the entire Jiuyuan Province before the Dynasty Army's large-scale attack, so as to increase the strategic room for maneuver.

Another important reason is that Jiuyuan Province produces good horses and iron ore, which is very important to the current Nanchuan Army. Whether it is the formation of cavalry units or the creation of weapons and equipment, they are all urgently needed things, so for Jiuyuan The province is bound to win.

Because of the special terrain of Jiuyuan Province, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the Yunshan Mountains to the west, it is difficult for the imperial army to quickly reinforce Jiuyuan Province in the face of danger. The Nanchuan Army captured it.

In the past few months, Lin Chuan of the First Corps has occupied Heishan Town in the southern part of Jiuyuan Province, providing a bridgehead for the Nanchuan Army's offensive, so the Nanchuan Army Command decided to take Jiuyuan within a month The whole territory of the province.

At the beginning of April, with the Fourth Corps and the Fifth Corps of the Nanchuan Army marching to Jiuyuan Province one after another, together with the Linchuan Corps originally in Jiuyuan Province, the Nanchuan Army gathered in Jiuyuan Province has reached three Corps .

However, just to be on the safe side, in mid-April, the newly formed Sixth Corps of the Nanchuan Army was also transferred to Jiuyuan Province to participate in the task of capturing Jiuyuan Province.

The newly formed Sixth Corps arrived in Jiuyuan Province, and Lin Chuan and others greeted them.

"Haha, you boy has grown stronger after recovering from an injury—" Lin Chuan looked at Gang Yu standing in front of him who was as strong as a cow, and punched him in the chest, teasing happily.

"They are all regiment commanders, congratulations." Lin Chuan was sincerely happy when he saw the golden eagle badge pinned to Gang Yu's collar badge.

Gang Yu chuckled: "Hey, Boss Lin, if it weren't for you, I would have been beheaded by the bastards of the Dynasty Army long ago, even if I am now the commander of the regiment, as long as Boss Lin says something, our Sixth Corps will go up the sword mountain Sea of ​​fire, unambiguous." Gang Yu's chest patted.

Gang Yu originally served as the commander of the Tenth Banner Regiment of the Nanchuan Army, but he fought to the death at Qinggang Ridge outside Donghuang Town, pinned down a large number of enemy troops, and killed a large number of enemy troops, ensuring victory in the final battle .

However, Gang Yu did not return to Lin Chuan's organization after the war due to serious injuries. Now that he has not seen Lin Chuan for several months, Lin Chuan has almost lost his recognition. Lin Chuan is the same, both are regiment commanders.

"Brother Lin, you don't know that this kid is dishonest. He not only became the commander of the regiment, but also took down Dr. Yunxu's apprentice, and now he has a wife." Meng Duo, the commander of the fourth regiment, broke the news .

Lin Chuan looked Gang Yu up and down, smiled in disbelief and said, "Okay, Gang Yu, I really didn't see it before, you still have this ability."

Gang Yu hastily waved his hand: "Boss Lin, don't listen to his nonsense, she and I are in love with each other, our sincere love at that time—"

Seeing Gang Yu, a tall and thick man, say this, the surrounding generals all let out good-natured laughter, both envious and jealous.

"Hey, Boss Lin, don't talk about me, you're still...hehehe." Gang Yu stared at Hanshuang, who was behind Lin Chuan as a guard, with a smirk on his face, and winked at Lin Chuan.

The generals around all showed bad intentions, and now they found out that Lin Chuan was also a treasure in the golden house...

Frost was stared at by so many people, she blushed immediately, lowered her head hastily, showing a shy expression.

While the generals were fighting, a light carriage rushed up from behind the troops.
