Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 398 New Enemy Situation!
The Qinghe Ferry was crowded with soldiers waiting to cross the river. The temporary pontoon bridge creaked like it was overwhelmed. The whole ferry was full of people. hoarse.

On the provincial highway to the east of Qinghe Ferry, the endless bright torches made the night look like day. Under the light of the fire, there were faces full of excitement and emaciation.

On the wilderness south of the ferry, densely packed tents lined up along the provincial road, stretching for more than ten miles, were the Central Army troops waiting to cross the river.

Lin Chuan galloped his horse to the high slope, and looking into the distance, he could see densely packed troops, including the Central Army in scarlet cloaks and Nanchuan soldiers wrapped in black armor. There were tens of thousands of troops. Being squeezed into this small area is extraordinarily chaotic and noisy.

The huge army led by Ninth Prince Longhan was like a torrent that opened the gate. It marched forward along the provincial highway to the Wangjing area. After four weeks of forced marching, the main force of the army had arrived at the border area of ​​Gyeonggi Province. The patrol sentry cavalry has entered the central part of Gyeonggi Province.

Standing on the high slope, with the bitter cold wind howling in his ears, looking at the dark and deep land in the west, Lin Chuan was full of emotions. That was where the hundreds of thousands of prisoners were defeated. Now he set foot on this land again. When the land is full of passion, the mentality and identity have changed, it is really good fortune.

"Da da da——" Several sentry cavalry wearing black cavalry cloaks galloped from the darkness, and the mud splashed by the horseshoes covered the horse's belly.

Looking at these resolute and athletic sentry cavalry, Lin Chuan's face was full of pride. After the baptism of war, the original mob has transformed into a brave army capable of fighting.

In a matter of weeks, perhaps, the army will walk the land with a new legal identity, and their families will be reassigned to fields, where they will be treated like all dynastic residents.

"General!" The sentry cavalry officer had excellent horse control skills, and the galloping horse stopped steadily one meter before Lin Chuan. The officer straightened his upper body and saluted Lin Chuan neatly.

The sentry cavalry officer's voice was clear and loud: "General, the battle report of the Special Operations Battalion."

The battle report was sent by the special warfare battalion of the Nanchuan Army who was the first to sneak into the enemy's theater. Lin Chuan had high hopes for this elite unit. The main reason for sending them ahead this time is to exercise their actual combat capabilities.

"Antang killed the 25th prince, the 31th prince, and the [-]st prince before the special warfare battalion took action. The troops under their command have all been recruited by the sixth prince." Although the content of the battle report is not much, the content is intriguing.

The dark hall is the direct power of the emperor of the Far East Dynasty. Their intelligence network spreads all over the Middle-earth world. No one knows the hidden strength of the dark hall, but Lin Chuan's intelligence department has lost several times against the dark hall. It is enough to prove the strength of the dark hall.

"The dark hall took refuge with the sixth prince?" Lin Chuan fell into deep thought.

If Antang really fell to the Sixth Prince, then the scuffle situation in the entire Wangjing area would end very quickly, because with the help of Antang, the Sixth Prince could easily kill his competitors, and thus his strength would increase dramatically.

If the Sixth Prince rises, then the Ninth Prince, Long Han, will lead the army to clean up the chaos, so that he may encounter strong obstacles in his successful ascension to the throne.

"The Sixth Prince must be killed before he rises." This is Lin Chuan's current thinking. If the Sixth Prince cannot be killed in the cradle in a short time, after he integrates the power of the Wangjing area and the support of the nobles, he will With enough strength to fight against Ninth Prince Long Han, the victory or defeat will be out of control.

Now the Nanchuan Army and the Ninth Prince Long Han are already tied to the same boat. If the Ninth Prince Long Han successfully becomes the new emperor, the Lin family will be vindicated and the Nanchuan Army will also gain legal status. Long Han will benefit from a series of benefits. If the democratization policy can also be implemented smoothly, the Far Eastern Dynasty will be rejuvenated, otherwise the result will be very bad.

The news brought by the special warfare battalion made Lin Chuan keenly aware of the change in the situation, and hurried back to the joint headquarters.

The Joint Command is a command organization jointly established by the Nanchuan Army and the Dynasty Army led by Lan Yu. The Ninth Prince Long Han is the commander, and Lin Nuoyan and Lan Yu are the deputy.

Although it is already late at night, the entire joint command headquarters is still running at high speed. Staff officers in black and red military uniforms are busy on the map and sand table, and the battle reports are sorted out by them and sent to the commander's desk. .

"General Lin, what's the matter with you coming here so late?" Wu Changfeng, the executive staff member, was on duty tonight. When Lin Chuan arrived, he was writing a new battle plan with a group of staff officers.

Lin Chuan directly explained the purpose of his visit: "I have something urgent to find the commander."

Wu Changfeng expressed apology on his face, "I'm sorry, General Lin, His Highness just fell asleep, if you have anything to tell me, I'll pass it on to His Highness when he wakes up, do you think it's okay?"

"Your Highness has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights..." Chief of Staff Wu Changfeng saw the dissatisfaction on Lin Chuan's face, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Chuan nodded and said, "I got the latest information. The melee in the Wangjing area is likely to end early, and we must speed up our march."

"I don't know where General Lin got the news, but as far as we know, the Wangjing area is still in a state of scuffle." Wu Changfeng obviously didn't believe Lin Chuan's words.

Of course, Lin Chuan would not tell him that he had already sent the intelligence department and the special operations battalion to infiltrate the enemy's war zone. Although the two sides are now fighting together, Lin Chuan still understands the saying that there are only eternal interests but no eternal friends.

Just as Lin Chuan's brain was spinning rapidly thinking about how to prevaricate, there were guards' scolding sounds outside the joint headquarters.

"I have an urgent military situation! Get out of the way!" There were horseshoes and soldiers shouting outside.

Chief of staff Wu Changfeng and Lin Chuan looked at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. The emergency military situation in the middle of the night is definitely not a good thing.

Soon the messenger, drenched in sweat, was brought to the Joint Command.

"Sir, we, we have encountered an attack." The courier obviously drove all night, his body was covered in mud, and he looked in a state of distress. After seeing Wu Changfeng and Lin Chuan, the chief of staff, he spoke out of breath, Appears incoherent.

Lin Chuan handed the water glass to the messenger: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

The courier drank the water in the glass with a gulp, and then he was relieved: "Sir, I am the scout of the No. 11 Banner Regiment of the Central Army. Encountered an ambush by a large number of enemy troops."

Hearing what the scouts said, Wu Changfeng, chief of staff, hurriedly got up and walked to the sand table, and quickly found the location of Qili River on the sand table, which was a low-lying river beach.

Lin Chuan sat down and continued to ask: "What kind of troops attacked you? Why did you come back to report by yourself?"

The scout soldiers replied: "There are enemies all over the mountains and plains. We were marching at that time, and the team was cut off at once. Our scout team was in charge of reconnaissance on the left wing. We escaped by chance, but it was dark and the road was slippery. We encountered enemy scouts along the way. After several fierce battles, the rest were all killed."

Lin Chuan comforted the scout who was a little nervous, and after letting him go down to rest, he immediately suggested to Wu Changfeng, Chief of Staff: "Master Wu, now we must send scouts to investigate the situation."

Wu Changfeng, chief of staff, knew that the situation was urgent, and said, "General Lin, I leave it to you to send scouts. I'll go and wake His Highness the Ninth Prince right now."

"Okay." Lin Chuan responded and turned around and walked out of the Joint Headquarters, while Wu Changfeng went to call Ninth Prince Long Han.

Along the way, the No.11 Banner Regiment of the United Army, which was in full swing, encountered a large-scale enemy attack in the Qilihe area. One stone caused a thousand waves, and the various banner regiments that were advancing overnight hurriedly gathered their troops to prevent the attack.
