Chapter 409 Burning Long Street
The Zhenxi Army encountered the strongest opponent in Black Rock City. In the past few weeks, the Zhenxi Army attacked the city unstoppably and uprooted all the forces that opposed the sixth prince Long Qing. Their strength once caused The myth that the Zhenxi Army was invincible.

However, when they met the Nanchuan Army, who was also known for their bravery and skill in combat, their luck seemed to have run out.

First of all, their cavalry lost hundreds of people and retreated in embarrassment, and then the Black Rock City that was about to fall was also reinforced by a large group of Nanchuan infantry soldiers, and the two sides fell into a melee.

When the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army were rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find their loot, they were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Nanchuan infantry and suffered heavy losses. In the first half of the night alone, twelve blocks fell, and thousands of soldiers of the Zhenxi Army were lost.

When their commanders regrouped their troops and were about to retake these blocks, more Nanchuan Army troops went into battle. These Zhenxi Army suffered a head-on blow. Instead of taking back these blocks, they were beaten back steadily.

The Zhenxi army has been fighting fiercely for a whole day, and now it is almost fighting overnight. There is a limit to human physical strength, and they have reached the edge of the limit now, relying entirely on a bloody courage to charge and fight.

According to Lin Chuan's instructions, the Nanchuan infantry used several elite banner battalions as assault troops to attack the Zhenxi Army, and the follow-up troops carried out street by street and house by house to eliminate the remnants of the enemy. Facing the fierce attack of the Nanchuan Army, The defense line of the Zhenxi Army was continuously broken through.

The soldiers of the Zhenxi Army who originally wanted to rely on street fighting to win suddenly found that the individual combat ability they were proud of was really not enough in front of the five-man fighting formation of the Nanchuan Army.

"Pay attention to the houses on both sides! Be vigilant!" A group of Nanchuan infantrymen were searching the streets in the dark night, and their boots stepped on the puddles full of stagnant water, stirring the puddles to become turbid.

The sergeant major and the officer looked stern, and their sharp eyes kept scanning the houses on both sides of the street and any place where enemies might appear.

In the middle of the night after the fierce battle, the Zhenxi Army, which was at a disadvantage in strength, had completely turned into street fighting. Like flies, they hid in the streets and alleys and fought guerrilla warfare. They continued to attack Nanchuan soldiers, forcing Lin Chuan had no choice but to order the troops to carry out the suppression from street to street.

"Pay attention to the left and right sides, keep your eyes open for me—" the Nanchuan sergeants kept reminding the Nanchuan soldiers who were advancing with their shields.

The streets were littered with scorched black corpses, including those of the Zhenxi Army and Nanchuan soldiers. They were the people who died in the battle for the block in the first half of the night.

A Nanchuan soldier stepped on a charred corpse. With the light of the torch, he recognized the corpse of a soldier in Zhenxi clothes. Seeing the gold chain hanging around the corpse's neck, the Nanchuan soldier squatted down He pulled it off and stuffed it into his arms.

"Boom!" The sergeant major turned over a corpse lying on the broken wall with his sword, revealing a pale and ferocious face.

call out!There was a sharp piercing sound in the darkness, and a large number of sharp arrows attacked the Nanchuan infantry that was searching and advancing.

"Quick! Dodge!" the officers shouted.

"Shield shield—"

Facing the sudden attack, the search infantry was in chaos. The powerful arrows easily penetrated the infantry's bodies, splashing a large amount of blood, and there were loud curses and painful wailing in the originally silent street.

Most of the infantrymen held their shields and hid in the bunkers beside the street at the first moment of the attack, but more than a dozen infantrymen were still unable to dodge and were overturned to the ground.

"Save me - save me -" the Nanchuan soldier who was shot in the thigh rolled into the puddle, groaning in pain.

"Woooo..." The wounded soldier, who was covering his bleeding neck with his hands, was twitching on the ground.

The torch fell to the ground and quickly ignited the armor of the dead soldier. Using the light of the fire, the officers of the Nanchuan Army infantry team saw the archers of the Zhenxi Army hiding on the roof tens of meters away.

"Climb up to the roof and kill these bastards."

The Nanchuan fighters built a human ladder, and a few of them jumped up and onto the roof, but with the sound of puffing, they tumbled down again.

"Kill!" Countless black shadows jumped out of the ruins in the darkness, and they attacked and killed the Nanchuan infantry team suppressed by the archers.

The fierce battle immediately unfolded on the street. This was a premeditated attack by the Zhenxi Army. They attacked the infantry unit of the Nanchuan Army with several times their superior strength. In less than a moment, the infantry unit of the Nanchuan Army was chopped into pieces by them.

"General, several infantry detachments have been attacked in front and suffered heavy losses." The banner battalion commander at the front reported to Lin Chuan with a sad face.

"Touch!" An angry Lin Chuan slammed his fist on the wooden table, his eyes were full of anger.

The Zhenxi Army's guerrilla warfare in the dark caused great losses to the attacking Nanchuan soldiers. A large number of Zhenxi Army has been wiped out, and now there are only thousands of people left, but they have multiplied and multiplied to the Nanchuan Army. cause casualties.

"Bring me in the troops from outside the city to increase the strength of the frontline." Lin Chuan ordered to increase the suppression troops.

Chief of Staff Xue Wen shook his head and prevented Lin Chuan from increasing his troops: "General, we have enough troops to enter the city. The problem now is not that there are not enough troops, but that the Zhenxi Army is hiding in the dark. We are in the open. We have to find a way Push them out."

"What can you do, sir?" Lin Chuan turned his attention to Xue Wen, hoping to get some ideas from Xue Wen.

Xue Wen paused, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes and replied: "General, since they don't want to come out, let them die inside."

"Commander Banner, why don't these Nanchuan troops attack anymore, are they scared by us?" Zhenxi soldiers hiding in the dark asked their commander madman.

Now they mainly occupy a few blocks in the west of the city, relying on the abandoned houses and streets to deal with the Nanchuan army, and carry out guerrilla warfare. As long as they persist until dawn, their large troops will arrive.

"Could it be that they were scared by us?" An officer of the Zhenxi Army guessed.

The commander, Crazy, shook his head: "It won't be that simple. The Nanchuan Army is powerful and won't give up so easily."

"Sir, look!" Suddenly a Zhenxi soldier from a high place pointed and shouted not far away.

The lunatic stood up abruptly. He looked around and saw countless Nanchuan infantrymen throwing torches into the dark houses. Not long after, a raging fire was already burning on the street.

Countless soldiers of the Zhenxi Army hiding in the ruined houses were constantly forced out in the face of the raging fire, and they were greeted by the bows and arrows of the Nanchuan infantry.

"So ruthless!" The lunatic saw that the Nanchuan Army used fire to force them out, and when he saw the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army who were shot and killed, his fists creaked.

In the middle of the night, the entire streets in the west of the city were engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, and on the outskirts of the sea of ​​flames, heavily armed Nanchuan soldiers were standing by, and all Zhenxi troops who were forced out were shot and killed.

When the sky was slightly bright, all the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army occupying the west block of the city had been wiped out. Except for thousands of soldiers of the Zhenxi Army who escaped when the fire started, the rest were either beheaded during the battle or burned to death. The charred corpse.

After a night of fierce fighting in the entire Black Rock City, the black battle flag of the Nanchuan Army was re-planted on the top of the city. The always arrogant Zhenxi Army suffered their first disastrous defeat since their eastward march. Except for more than 1000 people, a group of ten thousand flags broke through. , and the rest were all beheaded.
