Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 199 Public Opinion Offensive
The establishment of the First Army Corps of the Nanchuan Army was simple and quick. General Robben, as a special envoy, read out the order of the Nanchuan Army Command in front of all the soldiers.

Next came the ceremony of awarding the military flag. General Lin Chuan took over the military flag and announced the official establishment of the First Army.

"Please accept the flag!" General Robben held a jet-black battle flag in his hand, with a serious expression on his face.

Lin Chuan knelt down on one knee facing Robben, raised his hands flat, and solemnly took over the flag symbolizing the First Army.

The military flag was placed in Lin Chuan's hands, declaring that the burden of the First Legion was also in Lin Chuan's hands.

Lin Chuan stood up, turned around, faced the [-] soldiers, took the flagpole and hung the general flag on it.

The four characters of the First Legion on the black military flag fluttered in the wind.

Lin Chuan suddenly raised the general flag high, raised his voice, and roared: "The First Legion! Wansheng!"

Lin Chuan's voice was like thunder, and rang in the ears of the soldiers. For a moment, the soldiers of Nanchuan looked at the flag held high, and their blood boiled.

"First Legion! Victory!"

"First Legion! Victory!"

"First Legion! Victory!"

What Lin Chuan answered was three roars of mountains and tsunami. The powerful fighting spirit directly scattered the clouds in the sky. When the sun shone down, the soldiers' armors were black and shiny.

The surrounding residents and common people were frightened by the shouts of [-] Nanchuan soldiers, and their legs and feet were weak. The murderous and high-spirited fighting spirit made people's eyes show horror.

The establishment of the First Corps of the Nanchuan Army declared that the Nanchuan Army had taken another step forward.

At the meeting before the flag ceremony, the officer appointments of the First Corps had all been arranged.

The First Legion currently has four subordinate regiments, namely Sith's First Legion, Mundo's Fourth Legion, Ming Yang's Fifth Legion, and Gang Yu's Sixth Legion.

The legion command organization consists of legion chief Lin Chuan, deputy legion chief Roben, sergeant chief Tu Yue, chief of staff Zhao Feng, and military judge Liu Zichen.

Although Lin Chuan is now the commander of the First Army Corps, Robben, who was airborne from the High Command, directly became the Deputy Army Commander.

What made Lin Chuan even more puzzled was that Zhao Feng actually served as the chief of staff of the legion. However, all these were appointed by the command, and Lin Chuan could only temporarily accept them. Come in for surveillance.

After Lin Chuan became the head of the legion, the original commander of the First Corps was replaced by Sith. The First Corps is Lin Chuan's direct descendant. Now recruits have been added. Although the combat power is not as good as before, it is at least full for now.

After the flag-giving ceremony, the First Army went directly to the front line. Except for one flag battalion guarding the Black Mountain Iron Mine Area, the rest of the troops set off.

Compared with Linchuan's solitary corps before, this time there were four powerful corps to attack Jiuyuan Province.

Lin Chuan also summed up the lessons of being defeated by the enemy before. The First Legion did not divide its forces. It went northward along the Provincial Avenue and went straight to Jiuyuan City, the capital of Jiuyuan Province.

On the provincial road, the black army could not see the end at a glance, like a black dragon, the black battle flag covered the sky, and the sun was blocked wherever the army passed.

The army of the First Legion was at its peak, with strict military discipline, and did not disturb the people along the way. The soldiers wore tough clothes, high morale, and crushed them from south to north.

In front of the army, countless scouts and Qingqi had already traveled for two days.

The task of these elite scouts and light cavalry warriors is to detect the enemy's situation, shield the battlefield, kill the opponent's scouts, and cut off the opponent's news.

When Lin Chuan's army advanced to attack northward, the intelligence department personnel who belonged to Lin Chuan also started frequent activities.

The Governor of Jiuyuan Province spread rumors before, saying that the Nanchuan Army left no blade of grass, and they killed people like hemp, like demons.

But this time, the Nanchuan Army had the advantage in intelligence, and the personnel of the intelligence department who had been recruited on a large scale had already begun to manipulate public opinion before the army arrived.

Libby Town is a hundred-year-old town located on the banks of the Jiuqu River. The news of the southern rebel attack has reached here, and the residents of the town are in panic.

Libby Town, Cold Mountain Tavern.

"Have you heard? The rebel army from the south is coming." People are talking about the Nanchuan Army most now.

After all, according to the propaganda of the dynasty, the Nanchuan Army is a rebel army that kills without blinking an eye, and blood flows everywhere it passes.

"What should I do? The damned rebels came just as soon as the food was planted." An old man who was drinking low-quality alcohol was unhappy.

"Old man, it's actually not that scary." Someone kindly comforted him.

"I heard that the rebels are going to kill and rob food. They are doing all kinds of evil. I don't know if the Dynasty army can stop them." The old man took another sip of strong wine, extremely worried.

A man with the appearance of a businessman walked up to the old man and sat down, looked around, and pretended to whisper: "Old man, I have seen rebels, it is not what you think."

The people drinking around were all sad-faced town residents, and they all listened carefully when they heard this.

"I went to them to sell things. I thought I was going to be killed by them. I was so scared that I peed out..."

"Later, did you know that?" The merchant deliberately let the old man guess.

"They didn't kill you?" The old man looked disbelieving.

"Surely he didn't kill me, otherwise how could I sit here comfortably."

"I heard from their chief that they are a civilian army and only kill nobles, so there is no need to be afraid. We are not nobles."

"Are they really only killing nobles?" Someone at the next table couldn't help asking.

The merchant said solemnly: "Of course, I heard what their general said personally."

"Do you know why they kill noble gentlemen?"

"I heard from their general that the nobles occupy a lot of land and wealth, but the commoners have nothing. They just want to kill the nobles and distribute the things to the poor."

"Do they really distribute things to the poor?" Someone surrounded them curiously.

The merchant replied: "Of course, you don't know, I have a younger brother who lives in Mucheng now, and now he has allocated ten acres of good paddy fields, and he didn't have to pay taxes for the first year..."

The merchant followed the temptation and gradually changed the image of the Nanchuan army demon that the dynasty had propagated into a living bodhisattva who saved people.

Soon, the merchant and the old man walked out of the Cold Mountain Inn. They changed their clothes in a small alley. The old man was a middle-aged man at all, and they were all members of the Linchuan Intelligence Department.

In the past, the dynasties vilified the Nanchuan Army and made the people avoid it. Now they are breaking this public opinion.

Not long after they left the Hanshan Tavern, several officials from Libby Town rushed over with a large number of security guards, trying to arrest those who spoke well of the Nanchuan Army.

In fact, the actions of the officials of the dynasty had a counterproductive effect. Those residents who heard the benefits of the Nanchuan Army had a different idea in their minds, that is, to seize the shop is to cover up, so they subconsciously believed that the Nanchuan Army was really as good as they were. as said.

Otherwise, how could the officials of the dynasty prevent people from talking about it? Thinking of those ugly nobles, the civilians calmed down a lot. Even if the Nanchuan Army came, the unlucky ones would be those nobles first.

In various cities and towns in Jiuyuan Province, countless personnel from the Nanchuan Army’s intelligence department are active, constantly changing people’s views on the Nanchuan Army. This method of changing public opinion has driven the officials of the dynasty all over the place to go crazy, because they found that the residents Really believed the hearsay.

Those aristocrats and gentlemen started to flee, while the civilians began to wait and see one by one, instead of fleeing, they wanted to see with their own eyes whether the Nanchuan Army could say that Lin Chuan had already won a round before the war started.
