Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 253
Due to strong logistical pressure, Lan Yu, the commander-in-chief of the expropriation force, began to advance to the northern area of ​​Luoshan Province in early September, intending to annihilate the Nanchuan Army troops in the northern forest area in one fell swoop.

The dynasty's army was dominated by the elite central army, supplemented by provincial garrison troops and nobles, and tens of 10 people overwhelmingly rolled towards the northern region like a torrent of steel.

Facing the huge dynastic army, it would be foolish for the Lin Chuan Legion to defeat them from the frontal battlefield, so Commander Lin Chuan formulated a series of combat arrangements.

Lin Chuan gathered three cavalry flag regiments under his command, with Wu Jingqi regiment commander as the commander, jumped out of the encirclement, and went out day and night, advancing to the vicinity of the Austin area, ready to attack the logistics supply line of the Dynasty Army at any time.

At the same time, Lin Chuan personally led the Mengdo Corps, Mingyang Corps and Steel Feather Corps to rely on the vast forest area in the northern part of Luoshan Province to carry out continuous resistance and guerrilla warfare.

On the road leading to the northern region, the well-equipped dynasty army marched sonorously, and the army was at its peak. The huge marching team stirred up dust in the sky, and the queue stretched to the end of the sky like a giant dragon.

"Where did the vanguard go?" Sapphire, wearing a red cloak, reined in her horse and asked backwards.

The staff officer immediately stepped forward and said: "Two hours ago, the head of the Haotian Army sent back the battle report. The forward troops have arrived in Twilight City and are fighting fiercely with the rebels."

"Send the order to speed up and make sure to arrive at Twilight City before dark."

"No!" The orderly went away in response.

Sapphire looked at the army rolling northward, with arrogance in her heart, and felt like berating Fang Qiu. Sapphire was going to use this elite army to tell the rebels that the dynasty would not be provoked!
"Marshal, the Third Highness is here." Just when Lan Yu was happy, Wu Changfeng, the chief of staff beside her, reminded her.

Lan Yu turned her head and saw the Third Prince Long Rui in fresh clothes and angry horse running towards this side surrounded by a large number of guards, he couldn't help frowning.

The third prince, Long Rui, wanted to occupy his daughter, but he cleverly resolved it, and Haotian repelled his attempt to intervene in military affairs. Real power, everything depends on Sapphire's face.

Soon, Long Rui arrived in front of Lan Yu surrounded by guards.

Lan Yu didn't get off the horse to pay homage in the name of being inconvenient to salute while wearing armor. Although Long Rui was secretly sullen, but now he was afraid of Lan Yu's power, so he pretended not to see it.

The purpose of Long Rui's coming to see Sapphire was very simple, that is, after losing the battle for the power of the First Legion, Long Rui set his sights on the huge number of garrison troops.

Since the central army was monolithic and Long Rui couldn't get in, he was going to extend his hand to the provincial garrison. He wanted to personally command a provincial garrison to fight.

Lan Yu naturally knew what Long Rui was thinking, and it was nothing more than wanting to make some military exploits, so as to package herself as a brave and capable prince.

The founding emperor of the Far Eastern Dynasty fought the world on horseback and made great achievements in battle. The subsequent emperors would enter the army to hone their skills when they became adults. The scale of the war.

Now that the war has resumed, the prince Long Rui wants to continue the tradition of his ancestors and personally lead the army to fight in order to win the attention of the important officials. Lan Yu has no reason to refuse.

Now that Long Rui is serving as the Supervising Envoy, he has the ability to go directly to heaven, if he speaks ill of Lan Yu in the report, Lan Yu has nothing to do, so Lan Yu doesn't want to tear up his face with Long Rui, so he agrees.

In order to ensure Long Rui's safety, Lan Yu mobilized two provincial garrison flag regiments to Long Rui's command, and added [-] noble armed soldiers.

Long Rui, who obtained the military power from Lan Yu, was like an excited child, excitedly leading the troops to fight against the rebels.

"Without courage and no strategy, it is difficult to become a great weapon." This is Lan Yu's evaluation of Long Rui.

Chief of Staff Wu Changfeng also nodded in agreement: "But he is the prince after all, so we have to satisfy him if he has any requirements."

Lan Yu really wanted to kick the troublesome Long Rui out of the army, but since Long Rui was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to supervise the army, it meant monitoring, because Lan Yu couldn't do anything but let him Long Rui messed up.

Long Rui is very excited now. He has more than 5000 soldiers under his command, which is almost the strength of a regiment. Although they are all in miscellaneous troops, it is enough for him to show off his might.

"Your Highness, as long as you command the troops to wipe out some rebels, His Majesty the Emperor will be very happy. This will be of great help to your future struggle for the throne." The black-robed staff suggested.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm free to do it." Long Rui vowed.

Since Lin Chuan pursued guerrilla warfare, he didn't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. Facing the powerful offensive of the Dynasty army, they voluntarily abandoned many towns in the northern region, including the important city of Twilight in the northern region.

In Xilin Town, gunpowder smoke filled the air, the dilapidated walls were still stained with blood, and the corpses all over the ground indicated that a fierce battle had just taken place here. A banner battalion of the Central Army had just captured this place, and they were cleaning the battlefield.

"Sir, there are troops coming to our side!"

Suddenly the sentinel sounded the alarm.

The dynasty soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield reacted quickly. After all, they were all elite central army units. They quickly assembled and relied on the outer line of defense to prepare for battle.

"It seems to be our people." Soon they discovered that it was friendly troops, and they were troops flying the imperial flag.

The Banner Battalion Commander hurriedly greeted him: "The last general pays his respects to the Third Highness, we have just captured Xilin Town."

The banner battalion commander was very excited. After all, he met the prince just after breaking through a town. Maybe the prince was happy and rewarded him with tens of thousands of gold coins.

However, Long Rui's words made the Banner Battalion Commander's heart go cold for the most part.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Banner Battalion, have you reported victory to the Commander in capturing Xilin Town?" Long Rui asked.

The banner battalion commander replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, we are cleaning the battlefield, and we have not had time to report it in the future."

"That's good," Long Rui smiled, turned to tell the clerk, "report to Marshal Lan, and say that this prince personally went to battle and led his troops to capture Xilin Town on September [-]rd, killing three thousand enemies. "

"Follow Your Highness." The clerk behind him hurriedly wrote down.

The commander of the Banner Battalion immediately became anxious when he saw it. This is clearly a credit grab: "Your Highness, we killed hundreds of brothers in Xilin Town..."

"Huh? Do you have an opinion?!"

Facing Long Rui's sharp eyes, the Banner Commander was at a loss for words, "I have no objection."

He is just a small banner battalion commander, and he has no ability to fight against the prince at all, so he can only hold his nose when facing this kind of thing.

"Since you have no objections, let your people withdraw, and leave the cleaning of the battlefield to us."

Speaking of this, Long Rui ordered the officers and soldiers of the provincial garrison to enter Xilin Town to take over Xilin Town, and the Central Army soldiers who broke through Xilin Town were driven out.

"What's all this, the dignified prince is fighting us for victory!" Someone was indignant.

They were soldiers who counted on this little military exploits, and hundreds of people died in the battle, and now a word was taken away, and they felt very upset, but due to Long Rui's power, they could only swallow their anger.

"Our Third Highness is not simple. I didn't expect that he really has military talent. Could it be that the old man has misjudged him?" Holding a stack of good news in his hand, Sapphire felt a little unbelievable.

For a week in a row, Long Rui's troops attacked the city like a rookie, shining like a dazzling new star, surpassing all the troops.

Although Wu Changfeng, chief of staff, felt that something was wrong, he couldn't talk nonsense: "Then send these battle reports to Wang Jing?"

After pondering for a moment, Lan Yu replied: "Let's post it. Since it's a good news, why not post it."
