Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 359 Good News
Seeing so many wounded soldiers transported from the front line, Lin Chuan's heart was lifted immediately. He lost his mind to continue patrolling, and hurriedly returned to the camp headquarters set up on the south bank.

When Lin Chuan returned, the messenger sent by Xiao Zhan had been waiting for a long time, and Xue Wen, the chief of staff, had already greeted him with a smile on his face.

"General, good news—"

Chief of Staff Xue Wen showed excitement on his face, and handed Lin Chuan an unopened letter.

"On the evening of December 25th, our troops launched a surprise attack on the First Corps of the Third Corps of the enemy's Central Army in the north of Hongdu City. With the hard work of all the soldiers, more than [-] enemy soldiers were killed, and the enemy Yufeng was basically wiped out. Legion First Corps."

"In the early morning of December 26, our troops encountered the enemy's Second Corps, which was reinforced, and fought fiercely with them in the west of Hongdu City for half a day. Liu Erhu, the head of the banner regiment, led the death battalion to break in from the left wing, beheaded the commander of the Second Corps, and seized the flag of the Second Corps. At [-]:[-] p.m., the enemy's Second Corps was defeated, and the enemy's Third Corps, led by its regiment commander, Yu Feng, had already withdrawn from the Hongdu area. The enemy has more than [-] people, and they have seized countless weapons, equipment, food and grass, and are now retreating in an orderly manner. - Commander Xiao Zhan."

"Good, good!" Lin Chuan quickly read Xiao Zhan's victory report at a glance, and couldn't help clapping his legs to applaud. Xiao Zhan led the recruits to the battle and won the first battle. He even wiped out most of the elite Third Army Corps of the Central Army. It was a great encouragement for the disadvantaged Nanchuan Army.

"Decree, reward all the troops who participated in the battle this time. They have shown the prestige of our Nanchuan Army and boosted the morale of our Nanchuan Army!"

"Send the victory report to the propaganda team and ask them to send someone to promote it to me and tell the people in the area north of the Sanggan River that our Nanchuan Army has won the battle!"

Xue Wen's face is also very happy. After all, the Nanchuan Army is retreating steadily in the face of the Wang Dynasty Army's advance. something happened.

Well now, with this inspiring good news, more than 4 enemy troops were annihilated in one fell swoop, and a legion of the Dynasty Army was basically disabled. This kind of big victory is enough to rejuvenate the soldiers with low morale. Seriously deter those enemies who are about to move around.

"General, the scouts from all walks of life have sent back messages just now. The Haotian Legion on our left wing has retreated and stopped advancing now. The Dynasty Army troops that are fighting fiercely with General Sith in the front Bordeaux area have also stopped attacking. The enemy forces from all walks of life who were advancing very fast are now watching."

Lin Chuan said fiercely: "Okay, we just want to hurt them so that they know that our Nanchuan army is not easy to bully."

Chief of Staff Xue Wen asked: "General, are you going to implement the next phase of the plan?"

"Now that the objectives of the first phase have been achieved, the second phase of the plan can now be launched immediately."

According to the battle plan drawn up by Lin Chuan and the others, the first stage is to concentrate their forces to fight all the way, severely suppress the arrogance of the dynasty army, improve the morale of their own troops, and force the rest of the dynasty army not to dare to pursue it alone. their speed.

The combat objective of the second phase is mainly to use the contradictions and weaknesses within the Dynasty Army to carry out guerrilla warfare. As the Dynasty Army advances northward, they occupy more and more areas, and the distance between the various armies is also increasing. It provided Lin Chuan's Nanchuan Army with enough room to move.

Lin Chuan will send a sufficient number of troops into the rear of the dynasty army to harass their supply lines and occupied towns. If necessary, they can concentrate their forces to capture the occupied cities to form a deterrent.

During the harassment operations, try to alienate the internal contradictions of the Dynasty Army, and divide and recruit those former Nanchuan Army troops who were pulled by Zhao Feng to surrender. After all, many of them used to be Nan Jiyun's troops. Not very willing.

For the elite central army and noble armed forces, it is necessary to deal a severe and annihilating blow, because these troops are diehards loyal to the dynasty, and the weak provincial garrison troops don't need to worry about them as long as they don't chase too closely. them.

"Report—" A black-clothed cavalry galloped over.

"General, General Gang Yu has captured Mucheng, and the Zhao family's rebels have fled towards Luoshan Province—"

"Haha, it's really a double blessing today. It's a big surprise." The chief of staff, Xue Wen, smiled even more. A victory was fought on the front line, and the rebels in the rear were also wiped out. Now the chaotic situation has gradually stabilized. down.

Lin Chuan has been running back and forth these days, and all kinds of pressure are pressing on his shoulders. Although he has maintained enough calmness on his face, he has been hanging in his heart, unable to sleep day and night. Now hearing these news, his whole body Immediately relaxed, a strong sense of fatigue hit.

"Mr. Xue, I'm too tired these days. I'll go to sleep for a while. You can make arrangements for the next loss." Feeling exhausted, Lin Chuan bid farewell to Xue Wen, returned to his military tent and fell asleep.

Seeing Lin Chuan's thin figure, Xue Wen couldn't help sighing. Lin Chuan is only 20 years old now, but he shoulders the lives and deaths of millions of people. If he is not careful, he will lose everything. Lin Chuan can persevere It has been very difficult so far.

"Thunderstorm Banner Battalion Commander, let the general take a good rest, he is too tired." Xue Wen told Thunderstorm.

Thunderstorm nodded. He had been following Lin Chuan all the time. He naturally knew the strong pressure his general was under. Seeing Lin Chuan working hard, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

The victory news made every Nanchuan soldier feel sincerely happy, with cheerful smiles on their faces, and their walking steps became more determined, but this time there was no cheering or good wine. When they passed Linchuan's military tent, , all took the initiative to lighten their steps, so that the young general could have a good sleep in peace.

Lin Chuan fell asleep for a whole day. While Lin Chuan was sleeping soundly, Lin Chuan's old opponent, Lan Yu, was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

News came from the front that Yufeng's Third Corps of the Central Army was attacked by a large number of rebels in the Hongdu area. One regiment was defeated and another was wiped out. Only the regiment leader Yu Feng led the Third Corps to maintain its organizational integrity. Now it has withdrawn from the Hongdu area and moved closer to the Qingmuchuan area.

"Where do so many rebels come from?" Lan Yu frowned. According to the news, the Lin Chuan Legion's strength had dropped drastically after Zhao Feng's civil strife. More than 6 people, and defeated the elite central army under his command, the sudden change made Sapphire suddenly confused.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Now that the strength of the rebel army has undergone new changes, Sapphire has to redeploy the attack.

"Tell the frontline departments to stop advancing immediately to prevent falling into an ambush by the rebels." This was the first order Sapphire issued after thinking about it.

"The five banner regiments in the capital area of ​​Nanchuan will be transferred to the front line, and the ten banner regiments stationed in Luoshan Province will also be transferred."

Originally thought that the rebel army had reached the end of its strength and was about to collapse, so Sapphire did not have many troops attacking on the front line. There were only 25 banner regiments on the [-]-mile front. Now the situation has changed. As a precaution, the troops stationed in various places to suppress the rebellion were hastily dispatched to the front line, ready to go all out to deal with the Linchuan Army.
