Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 417 Joint Operations
At the end of March in [-] AD, in the early spring, the rain and snow melted, and the roads in the entire Gyeonggi Province were muddy. Thousands of boots and horses trampled on them, making the roads even more muddy and difficult to walk.

Kony Town, there are hundreds of towns like this in Gyeonggi Province. The ordinary ones can no longer be ordinary. The melted snow on the simple blue tiles keeps dripping, making the original low earth walls even more fragile. The upper potholes are covered with muddy stagnant water.

Brigade Brigade The soldiers of the Internal Guard directly under the Ninth Prince Long Han were marching forward along the muddy streets. Thousands of carriages and horses crowded the entire town.

"Tell me, where is the commanding headquarters?" Lin Chuan got off his horse, ignoring the splash of mud when his boots stepped on the puddle, and asked a soldier of the internal guards loudly.

"Sir! What did you say?" There was a lot of noise on the street, and the soldiers of the Internal Guard did not hear Lin Chuan's words clearly.

Lin Chuan put his mouth close to the ears of the soldiers of the Internal Guard and shouted three times: "I said, where is the headquarters?"

"On the street over there—" the soldiers of the Internal Guard pointed to the street ahead to show Lin Chuan the way.

"Thank you." Lin Chuan patted the shoulders of the soldiers of the inner guards and thanked them, then turned around and led the guards towards the direction of the headquarters, striding towards the headquarters.

Lin Chuan saw the heavily guarded headquarters in front of the gate with the canvas of the Red Star Inn hanging on the side of the street.

Lin Chuan was let in after revealing his identity to the guarding soldiers of the Internal Guard.

The first floor of the entire inn has been turned into a huge war room, with huge military maps spread on the cobbled together tables, and staff officials are working intensely, marking the latest troop progress on the map.

At the innermost table, the three commanders of the Dynasty Army were discussing something fiercely together, and from time to time, staff officers brought documents for Long Han to sign.

"Report!" Lin Chuan's voice interrupted the three people who were discussing fiercely.

Seeing Lin Chuan's arrival, Lin Nuoyan hurriedly stood up and greeted him, and couldn't wait to ask: "A Chuan, you're back, what's the situation on the front line?"

"Bring General Lin a basin of hot water and let him wipe his face." Ninth Prince Long Han ordered to the staff officer beside him.

When Marshal Lan Yu saw Lin Chuan, his expression was complicated. He had fought with Lin Chuan for nearly a year, and now his precious daughter fell in love with Lin Chuan, which made him, a father, in a dilemma.

"Now the vanguard of our army has encountered the Zhenxi Army 1000 miles west of Kony Town, and lost about [-] people. Now our army has repelled the Zhenxi Army, but it is expected that their main force The troops are not far from here."

After hearing Lin Chuan's words, Lan Yu was shocked: "They came so fast!"

"Our follow-up troops are still one day away from Kony Town, so what should we do?" Ninth Prince Long Han was full of worry.

The snow melted and the roads were muddy, which greatly slowed down the marching speed of the Dynasty Army troops, and it was even more difficult for those heavy vehicles to travel on such bad roads.

Lin Chuan explained his reason for coming: "I came back this time to ask whether we should stop advancing, build a defense line on the spot, and wait for follow-up reinforcements."

Lin Nuoyan nodded: "I think it can be considered. Now our army is too long. If we rush to fight the Zhenxi army now, we will end up unable to care about each other. This is a big taboo for military strategists."

Lan Yu held a different opinion: "Our army is too long, and the Zhenxi Army is not much better. Now we have arrived here with more than ten banner regiments. I think we can attack them immediately. Moving the location of the decisive battle to the west will be more beneficial to us."

"Now that our soldiers are exhausted, how do we fight?!" Hearing Lan Yu's request to continue marching, Lin Chuan was furious and immediately contradicted him.

They have been marching continuously on the muddy road for two days. At this moment, the soldiers have reached the limit of their bodies, and the soldiers can almost fall asleep now.

"Hey, General Lin, don't get excited. I think what Marshal Lan said makes sense. Although we are exhausted, the Zhenxi Army is not much better. Why don't we try to attack, and if it doesn't work, just return it." Ninth Prince Long Han's opinion Leaning more toward sapphire.

Seeing that the two commanders were inclined to continue attacking, Lin Nuoyan showed a look of embarrassment on his face, pulled Lin Chuan aside and said in a low voice, "A Chuan, don't take it to heart, our army's food and grass are only It can last for a week, and if the war is delayed, it will be very bad for us."

Hearing what Lin Nuoyan said, Lin Chuan's dissatisfaction in his heart was immediately relieved. Hundreds of thousands of troops eat horse chews every day and need a lot of food and grass. As a commander, he also understands the difficulties of the command.

"Your Highness, Marshal Lan, I will go back and prepare to continue the attack. Please also urge the follow-up troops to catch up quickly." Lin Chuan walked up to Long Han and Lan Yu to express his attitude.

Sapphire nodded, and handed the token in her hand to Lin Chuan: "Well, I also understand your difficulties. A cavalry flag regiment of our Central Army has arrived in Kony Town, and now it is transferred to your command. Be sure to send the flag of the decisive battle. The battlefield moves forward."

Ninth Prince Long Han pulled Lin Chuan aside and said in a low voice: "Brother, I have worked hard for you this time. The decisive battle is related to the victory or defeat of our army. Your forward troops must open up the situation."

"Your Highness, don't worry, I know it well." Lin Chuan's words reassured Ninth Prince Long Han.

Lin Chuan bid farewell to the commander-in-chief of the headquarters, and left here in great strides.

"General, what do you say, should you let the brothers rest for one night, and then move forward tomorrow." Thunderstorm saw Lin Chuan coming out and rushed to meet him and asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, get on your horse and go back." Lin Chuan took the horse led by the guards, quickly turned on the horse and ran towards the Central Army cavalry camp outside Kony Town.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Chuan, with [-] Central Army cavalry, had already returned to his regiment's camp. Without taking a break, Lin Chuan immediately held an impromptu military meeting, and conveyed the command of the command to the commanders of the various banners under his command.

With the end of the pre-war meeting, Lin Chuan's troops embarked on the march again. As the vanguard, their task was to push the enemy back to their preset battlefield.

The battle between the Linchuan Army and the Zhenxi Army began after nightfall. The vanguard troops of the two sides met in the dark night and immediately launched a fierce fight.

"Brothers of the Central Army, although we have fought and died in the past, but today we eat in the same pot, I hope we can put aside the past, fight side by side, and drive the Zhenxi Army back to their hometown !” Facing the black cavalry of the Central Army, Lin Chuan said directly without any big words.

"Since General Lin said so, our Central Army is not a cheapskate. Brothers, let's help the Nanchuan infantry brothers." gratitude.

"Kill the enemy!" Following the roar of mountains and tsunami, the cavalry of the Central Army quickly entered the battle regardless of fatigue. Thousands of horses galloped in the dark night, rolling towards the troops of the Zhenxi Army , menacing, unstoppable.
