Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 327 Emergency Military Situation!
In December 20, the Zhao family of the Nanchuan Army launched a coup to seize power. Zhao Feng, the commander of the Fourth Army, killed Nan Jiyun, the commander of the Third Army, and seized the command of the Third Army. [-] Nanchuan Army fell into the hands of the Zhao family.

Afterwards, Zhao Feng left a small number of troops in Luoshan Province to guard against the attack of the dynasty army. He personally led the main force back to Nanchuan Province, preparing to attack the resting Linchuan Army in Qingmuchuan.

The power of the Zhao family has penetrated into all aspects of the Nanchuan Army, so the sudden coup of the Zhao family caught the Nanchuan Army Command by surprise.

Just when Zhao Feng led the troops back to Nanchuan Province, a fierce battle broke out in Mucheng, and the city defense battalion controlled by the Zhao family suddenly attacked the government office and the command headquarters.

Although Mucheng is the command center of the Nanchuan Army, there are very few troops stationed there. The main reason is that Mucheng already belongs to the hinterland of the Nanchuan Army's control area, and the Dynasty Army cannot attack here. Therefore, there is only a city defense battalion of 3000 people and a small number of guards.

Faced with the rebellion of the city defense battalion controlled by the Zhao family, the government quickly fell. The consul Caton loudly reprimanded the Zhao family for their conspiracy and rebellion, hoping to wake up the soldiers, but these soldiers and officers had already been bought by the Zhao family. On the night of the [-]th, the Consul Caton was killed in the government office.

The Zhao family sent a thousand-man team to attack the Nanchuan Army Command, but encountered desperate resistance from Lin Nuoyan's guards and could not break in. Then the troops that besieged the Government Office added reinforcements and broke the Command.

Dozens of high-ranking officials of the command headquarters encountered the bloody massacre of the Zhao family, and none of them survived. Marshal Lin Nuoyan disappeared in the scuffle...

"Drive - drive -" the sound of horseshoes sounded in the street of Qingmuchuan, and several sweaty black armored cavalry kept whipping their horses and galloped along the long street. black flag.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The voice of the cavalry was hoarse and hurried, and the pedestrians hurriedly avoided, causing chaos on the street.

"What happened?" Seeing the cavalry galloping past, the people talked a lot.

According to the military law of the Nanchuan Army, galloping horses are not allowed in the city, so as not to cause casualties to the people, but now these cavalry are letting their horses gallop, and seeing them anxious, something urgent must have happened.

"Urgent military situation! Where is the general!" The sweaty cavalry galloped outside the official office. Before the horses stopped, a cavalry jumped off and fell to the ground.

Seeing the cavalry galloping towards them, the guards on high alert had already put their hands on the handles of their knives. When they saw the small black flag on the backs of the fallen cavalry, their expressions changed immediately.

"Please follow me!" Li Qiye, the centurion leader, hurriedly helped the fallen soldier up, and rushed towards the official office.

In the official office, Lin Chuan was taking medicine under Lan Yu's care. Just as the medicine bowl was brought to his mouth, the door was knocked open: "General, it's an emergency situation!"

The cavalryman who delivered the letter held up the letter in his hand, and after a loud cry, his body went limp and he passed out.

"Hurry up and carry it down for treatment—" Lin Chuan picked up the letter on the ground, and hurriedly ordered Li Qiye, and the fainted soldier was carried down.

Lin Chuan tore open the letter and glanced at it quickly, his face changed wildly, he didn't care about taking the medicine, and hurriedly went straight to the door and shouted: "Knock the drum!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The dull war drums sounded, and the generals in Qingmuchuan City hurriedly put down their work and rushed to Linchuan's official office.

"Master Chief of Staff, what happened to beat the Jujiang Drum?!" At the gate of the official office, Sith, who was galloping over on horseback, met Li Yunshan, Chief of Staff, and asked hastily.

"I don't know either, let's go in quickly." Chief of Staff Li Yunshan also shook his head in doubt.

Now that the rebellion has subsided, logically there shouldn't be any major events worth ringing the drums.

The generals arrived at the large meeting room with their heads full of confusion, not expecting that Lin Chuan was already sitting there.

Lin Chuan was no longer flustered as before, and his face became calm. When he saw generals and officials walking in, he directly asked them to sit down and wait for him to announce the news.

"Why hasn't Zichen arrived yet?" After a while, the conference room was already full of officers, and Lin Chuan asked as he glanced at Liu Zichen's empty space.

"Master Liu is rectifying military discipline in the barracks outside the city, I'm afraid he hasn't received any news yet," Gang Yu replied.

"Don't wait for him." Lin Chuan said.

With a serious face, Lin Chuan handed the letter to the generals: "Everyone, the Zhao family has rebelled. The 20 troops led by Zhao Feng have broken through Aote Town in the west and are now advancing towards Qingmuchuan. A message from the squadron."

"The Zhao family is a thief! An ungrateful thing! We must teach him a lesson!"

"The white-eyed wolf of the Zhao family, it's time to eradicate them!"

"..."

After seeing the content of the letter, the generals were immediately furious, and the entire meeting room was full of abuse.

When the Zhao family fled to Mucheng, the Nanchuan army took them in. Now they control the army and want a coup d'etat. The generals all angrily condemned the Zhao family's ungrateful behavior.

Hearing the insults from the generals, Lin Chuan raised his hands and pressed down, his face solemn: "They have already broken through Aote Town, and the distance from Qingmuchuan is less than fifty miles away. It has been said in the letter that this time the third The four legions are all involved, so I want to hear everyone's opinions, how do we deal with it now?"

"General, although they have controlled 20 soldiers, I'm sure most of them are bewitched. We must find a way to expose the lies of the Zhao family." Chief of Staff Li Yunshan stood up and said.

"Now that they've come, it's too late to expose the lies. We are at a disadvantage, and the soldiers won't believe us," Mu Xue reminded.

"They're coming. Our army is being reorganized and withdrawn. The morale of the army is unstable. How can we resist?"

"It's better to withdraw, give up Qingmuchuan."

In the conference room, facing the sudden rebellion of the Zhao family and the approach of the army, some of the generals insisted on resisting and fighting, while others advocated retreating immediately to preserve their strength and quarreled.

"Boom!" Lin Chuan slammed his fist on the table to stop the quarrel. He turned his head to Sith and asked, "How many troops do we have available now?"

Sith replied: "All the troops have been disrupted and are being reorganized. Except for the six vanguard battalions formed by the soldiers who rebelled before and Murong Ke's [-] cavalry, it will take at least two days for the rest of the troops to be reorganized."

Hearing Sith's words, the generals gasped. They didn't expect the situation to be so bad that such an impressive army had only such a small amount of troops available.

The six vanguard battalions are all composed of rebel soldiers, and everyone does not trust them. Although Murong Ke's [-] cavalry are reliable, their numbers are too small...

Lin Chuan frowned and searched on the map. Obviously, in the face of an attack of 20 people, the isolated city of Qingmuchuan alone would not be able to defend it. Besides, Qingmuchuan had just experienced a rebellion and was in ruins. All right, now he has to resist layer by layer on the periphery, exchanging space for time, and finally he stopped his gaze on a high ground west of Qingmu River.

"Now I order!" Lin Chuan said loudly.

All the generals looked terrified, ready to receive orders.

"Mu Xue, you lead six vanguard battalions to occupy the Grand Heights and build a line of defense. You must persist for two days! Can you do it?" Lin Chuan asked.

Mu Xue stood up and replied: "General, can you transfer the death camp to me, I don't trust the vanguard camp..."

"No, if you can't, I'll replace someone else." Lin Chuan directly refused Mu Xue's request. Now everyone doesn't believe in the Pioneer Battalion, fearing that they will rebel again, but Lin Chuan believes that these soldiers will not commit a second crime Wrong, and now only six pioneer battalions are available, and the death battalion is now full of less than 1000 people, how can we fight?
"Can you finish it?" Lin Chuan continued to ask.

"Yes!" Seeing Lin Chuan's insistence, Mu Xue gritted his teeth and replied loudly!
"Murong Ke, lead the cavalry to drag the enemy for at least half a day, and build a line of defense for the vanguard battalion!"

"Follow the general!"

The cloud of war once again enveloped the land. Facing the rolling insurgents, the Linchuan Legion, which was in a weak stage, was like a lonely boat in the sea, which might capsize at any time.
