Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 370
Lin Chuan and Han Jiu accidentally became brothers of the opposite sex. Both of them were very happy. They drank until dawn until Han Jiu was drunk. He was full of admiration, if Lin Chuan's inspection had not discovered the night attack of the Dynasty army last night, then the entire line of defense would have collapsed.

This city wall, which is several kilometers long, was repaired by hundreds of thousands of Nanchuan soldiers day and night, and it stood in front of the ferry of the Sanggan River, becoming a solid barrier.

The fierce battle at night caused heavy losses to both sides. The blood on the city wall that dyed the ground red had solidified, and the air was filled with a stench. Although the corpses had been transported away, the broken limbs, broken arms and broken weapons were still scattered everywhere. , reminding the soldiers of the cruelty of war.

The south side of the city wall has become scorched black. The raging fire last night has already blackened the city wall. Layers of scorched corpses are piled up under the city wall. The corpses in the moat more than ten meters away have already swollen. The water in the moat was red.

In the milky white mist, there was a fiery red. On the plain south of the city wall, the red military camps spread all over the sky, stretching all the way to the horizon. A huge pressure made Lin Chuan's heart heavy.

The army of the dynasty is strong and strong, and although Lin Chuan has assembled [-] Nanchuan soldiers under his command, most of them are recruits who have just put down their hoes and sickles. Lin Chuan is not sure whether he can withstand the stormy attack of the army of the dynasty.

Now the only thing Lin Chuan can count on is the Xia Ge Legion in Jiuyuan Province. Now in the entire Nanchuan Army sequence, only the Xia Ge Legion maintains a complete organizational system and has a large number of veterans under its command.

"General, you are injured, go down and rest, I will watch here, and make sure to defend the city wall." Sith walked over, his face was haggard after a sleepless night, his eyes were bloodshot with deep bags under his eyes.

Lin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Now our Nanchuan soldiers have many new recruits but few troops. As a general, I am both a commander and a soldier. I take the lead and it will greatly help the morale of the army. Don't persuade me."

"However, the attack of the Dynasty army today will definitely be extremely swift and violent. It is very dangerous to stay on the city wall."

A smile appeared on Lin Chuan's stern face: "Thinking back when we broke through the bloody battle all the way from the Gyeonggi Province, we had no food, no drink, and we were hungry and prepared to fight all the time. Compared with then, this little danger is nothing .”

Sith also showed nostalgia: "Yeah, it was really not easy to think back then."

Back then, the prisoner army was defeated under the capital city, and tens of thousands of soldiers collapsed like a mountain. They were chased and killed by the imperial army all the way, and their blood flowed like rivers. They were extremely lucky to be alive.

"Dinner is ready, dinner is ready." The fire-headed soldier walked up the city wall carrying baskets full of black-faced steamed buns and hot porridge, and the soldiers shivering in the cold wind immediately cheered.

"Let's go, let's eat some too, otherwise we won't have the energy to fight later." Lin Chuan walked towards the place where the food was distributed.

"The general said! Two black-faced steamed buns per person, enough barley porridge, don't grab it, don't grab it!" Seeing the soldiers rushing towards them like wolves, the leader of the ten soldiers hurriedly waved their spoons to maintain order loudly .

In order to train the wolf nature of the soldiers, every time the soldiers of Nanchuan eat is a fierce fight, the strong are full, and the weak are hungry.

But now is the time of war, and only when you are full can you have the strength to fight, so Lin Chuan temporarily revoked his order to snatch the food, and distributed it instead.

"Give me a steamed bun and a bowl of barley porridge." Lin Chuan lined up.

"General, why are you here?" Seeing Lin Chuan also coming to collect the food, the ten-man leader of the Huo Tou Bing who was distributing the food, his face was full of astonishment, and then he reacted: "General, we hunted a flower deer yesterday, I'll order them to cook a dish for you right away."

Lin Chuan smiled and waved his hands: "I'll just eat steamed buns, and send the flower deer to the wounded barracks, they need it more than me."

In the past, Lin Chuan ate with the soldiers of the Guards Battalion, but now he suddenly ate with these ordinary soldiers, which made the soldiers very excited and kind.

Black-faced steamed buns are hard and hard to chew, but now food is in short supply, and only the soldiers on the front line can eat this kind of food, and those soldiers who have no combat missions in the back can only drink a bowl of wheat per meal. Porridge.

"General, yesterday I heard from the Lu military quartermaster that we are running out of food. This is not the solution." Sith reminded Lin Chuan worriedly while chewing on black-faced steamed buns.

The soldiers lick their blood every day. If they don't have enough to eat, it will have a great impact on the morale of the army. As an officer, Sith knows that it is a very serious matter if the army runs out of food.

Lin Chuan took a sip of wheat porridge and nodded: "Lu Dong has already reported this matter to me, and I have ordered him to contact Dong Yuan, the person in charge of the Bauhinia family in Nanchuan Province, hoping to buy it from them." Some food to meet the urgent needs."

Sith sighed: "That's the only way to go."

The Nanchuan Army has been in a state of war since its establishment. From Nanchuan Province to Jiuyuan Province, and then to Luoshan Province, it has always relied on the strategy of supporting war with war. Now it is forced by the Dynasty Army to return to Nanchuan. Province, the weakness of insufficient logistics was soon exposed.

"General, there is movement on the other side."

While Lin Chuan and Sith were eating and discussing how to defend against the enemy, the soldiers serving as guard posts rushed over to report.

Lin Chuan and Sith glanced at each other. They didn't expect that the Dynasty army was preparing to attack so early. They didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. They hurriedly dropped their bowls and chopsticks and strode towards the southern city wall.

Holding on to the cold city wall, looking around, there were chaotic and noisy voices in the milky white mist, all kinds of yelling one after another, people screaming, and groups of royal cavalry and infantry in bright red armor drove out of the camp. Start arraying on the plains.

"They are going to attack, prepare to fight." Lin Chuan took a deep breath and ordered to Sith.

"The dynasty army is about to attack! All soldiers quickly returned to their battle positions—" The messenger held up a black command flag along the city wall, passing orders to every defensive area.

Following the shout of the messenger, the Nanchuan soldiers who were eating breakfast quickly dropped the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, grabbed the weapons beside them and ran towards their battle positions.

Immediately, there was a messy sound of broken dishes and chopsticks on the city wall, as well as the clang of armor and weapons colliding. Along with the shouts of the officers, a tense and chilling atmosphere immediately permeated.

Soon, all the Nanchuan fighters on the city wall had returned to their respective battle positions. They held the weapons in their hands tightly and leaned against the city wall, waiting for the upcoming fight.

The reserve soldiers under the city also started to move. Bundles of arrows were transported to the city wall, a can of kerosene was piled up like a mountain, the crossbow machine made a creaking sound, and the flashing arrows were already aimed at the city wall. outside the city.
