Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 544 Weird Quiet

On the second day of the bloody battle at Tielan Pass, the dynasty troops guarding the fortress entered the battle line at dawn, preparing for a new round of fighting, but until the sun was three poles, the Hanhai Empire army, which was like a raging wave yesterday, still did not move at all.

"What's going on?" The officers and soldiers of the dynasty army guarding the broken wall were full of doubts. They went all out to prepare for a deadly battle, but the enemy who howled ferociously yesterday was nowhere to be seen.

On the high platform surrounded by generals, Lin Nuoyan of the Nanchuan Army and Marshal Yong of the Far East Army were equally puzzled. They closed their eyes and looked at the camp of the Hanhai Army on the plain, but they found nothing.

The camp of the Hanhai Empire army was as vast and boundless as yesterday, densely packed across the entire plain in front of the Tielanguan Fortress, and as far as the eye could see was a vast expanse of white tents.

At the edge of the camp, they could see the vast sea cavalry galloping continuously, with countless banners waving in the wind.

"I'm afraid the Hanhai people were beaten badly by us yesterday, and they are resting today." Seeing that the Hanhai soldiers who were strengthening the camp outside the Hanhai Marine camp in the distance did not have the slightest posture to attack, Liu Wenwu judged.

Lin Nuoyan shook his head: "The soldiers of the Hanhai Empire are brave and good at fighting, and they will never be easily repelled. Maybe they have some conspiracy."

"Pass down the order, the whole army is on alert to prevent the Hanhai army from raiding!"

Lin Nuoyan didn't get numb because the army of the Hanhai Empire didn't move. He knew the army of the Hanhai Empire very well. It was an army capable of conscripting and fighting, and it was also an army of incomparable ferocity. Bloodshed, they certainly won't stop there.

Although the Hanhai army showed no signs of continuing to attack, the guard on the Tielanguan Fortress did not relax in the slightest. Under Lin Nuoyan's order, taking advantage of this gap, the defenders began to strengthen the pass wall and re-prepare the Thunder Stone Rolling Log and other defensive materials.

The sun rose from east to west, and the people of Hanhai didn't move at all for the whole day. If it wasn't for the cavalry galloping around outside their camp, Lin Nuoyan even suspected that they had withdrawn.

As dusk fell, Lin Nuoyan became even more nervous. Hanhai people are good at night battles. He was afraid of being attacked by closing the wall, so he ordered all the soldiers of the banner regiment to gather for night battles.

The land was slowly covered by the dark night. In order to prevent surprise attacks, torches and braziers illuminated the closed wall. The entire Tielan Pass Fortress seemed to be facing an enemy. Everyone was tense and prepared to fight the Hanhai people at night.

But until late at night, the expected night battle raid did not come, not even a tentative attack. The Hanhai people's camp was peaceful, as if they dared not come again after a battle, and even the scout cavalry did not approach Closed to the wall for two miles, the strange calm made both Lin Nuoyan and Liu Wenwu feel very uneasy.

The rivers of blood that were still fighting the day before suddenly became strangely calm. The huge contrast made them dare not relax in the slightest.

"Shuai Lin, why don't the soldiers go to rest first, it's so cold today, I don't think the Hanhai people will come tonight." It was already three o'clock in the morning, and Liu Wenwu suggested looking at the quiet plain.

Lin Nuoyan, who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, opened his eyes, looked at the Hanhai camp with flashing lights in the distance and shook his head: "Let the soldiers persevere, if the Hanhai people touch it, we will be in trouble."

The reason why Lin Nuoyan was so cautious was that he had fought against the Hanhai people in the border area before, and he knew that the Hanhai people were good at night fighting. Sometimes the entire team was wiped around their necks and they would only find out the next day, so he didn't dare to be careless.

All the defenders of the Tielanguan Fortress waited for a whole night in the cold night of March, but the Hanhai people still did not move at all. The strange abnormal phenomenon made the defenders puzzled.

For three days in a row, the Hanhai people had no intention of attacking, but the scouts sent out reported that they could hear the roar of Han Haijun's drill from a distance. Obviously, the Hanhai people did not leave, they were waiting for the opportunity.

I don't know why the Hanhai army didn't continue to attack the Tielanguan Fortress. Anyway, if you want to enter the hinterland of the Far Eastern Dynasty, this is the only passage. Since the Hanhai people don't attack, Lin Nuoyan and they are happy to relax.

The weather in March gradually warmed up except for morning and evening, and the piles of corpses that died in the Tielan Pass Fortress began to rot and stink. In order to avoid the occurrence of the plague, the idle defenders began to clean up the corpses of the war dead.

Piles of corpses were burned by raging fire, and the Tielanguan Fortress was billowing with smoke. Since the day of the battle, the two sides have maintained a rare calm. After the brutal fighting, the two sides entered a confrontation.

In order to find out the details of the Hanhai army camped outside Tielan Pass, Lin Nuoyan sent countless elite scouts to investigate the news, but without exception, many of them never returned, and those who managed to escape were seriously injured. There was no news, and finally Lin Nuoyan gave up. Since the Hanhai people don't attack, then let's spend it. Anyway, his task is to defend Tielan Pass.

"Cut down all the woods over there, we want to have a wider view." However, Lin Nuoyan was still uneasy, and he ordered to cut down the woods one mile outside Tielan Pass to prevent the view from being blocked.

The defenders sent dozens of felling soldiers to go out to cut down the grove. After seeing it, the Hanhai scout cavalry surprisingly did not stop them, but stood on guard from a distance.

In the midst of anxious waiting, in the second ten days of March, troops gathered from all over the Far Eastern Dynasty arrived at Tielan Pass one after another, including the elite Hundred Thousand Town Western Army troops. With the increase of Tielan Pass troops, Lin Nuoyan The original worry was finally relieved a lot. Even if the Hanhai people came to sneak attack now, it would not be successful. After all, the number of troops stationed in Tielanguan Fortress had reached nearly 30.

With the increase of Tielanguan troops, Lin Nuoyan became more and more courageous, and sent more scouts to find out the details of the Hanhai army, and even sent cavalry troops to go out to test the attack.

Tielanguan, which had been quiet for almost half a month, had another small-scale battle, but this time it was the dynasty army who took the initiative to attack. They were just trying to find out why the Hanhai Empire didn't attack.

After the efforts of countless scouts Qingqi, and after paying some casualties, Lin Nuoyan finally found out the details of the enemy troops stationed outside Tielan Pass, that is, there are only 10 infantry troops of the Hanhai Empire stationed outside the pass, while the rest are unknown. trace.

"Investigate! Cross their blockade and continue to investigate the Far East. I need to know where the rest of the Hanhai troops are!" Lin Nuoyan was not calm when he heard that there was only a hundred thousand Han navy stationed on the opposite side.

One must know that according to the previous information, the Hanhai Empire sent troops to the Far East, but it is said to have an army of one million, and now there are only one hundred thousand left here?What about the rest of the troops?

In order to prevent the Hanhai Empire from finding another way to enter the hinterland of the Far Eastern Dynasty, the Dynasty also sent many scouts Qingqi to investigate along the mountains along the Tielan Pass, but found nothing.

"Did the people of Hanhai withdraw their troops and return to the country?" Some generals speculated.

"What if they are ambushing somewhere, waiting for us to get out? They have 40 cavalry, and we won't be able to run away by then."

……

Regarding the issue of Hanhai people's military strength, the defenders and generals talked a lot, but due to the limitations of the investigation methods, they could only guess. The news of the army reached Tielan Pass.

Within half a month that the defenders guessed, the Hanhai people had swept the Far East again with their main force. All the Far East troops and resistance forces that had not had time to retreat were destroyed. The Hanhai people were plundering the people in the Far East. They asked the dynasty to send troops to the Far East to save the people. .

Based on the report from the surveillance agency's secret agents and the scout Qingqi's intelligence, Lin Nuoyan and the others have a clear understanding of the Hanhai people's movements, but the defenders are divided into two factions as to whether to attack or not.

The troops who had fought against the Hanhai people did not want to attack immediately, but hoped to wait for more troops, so that they could be sure. However, the Zhenxi Army and other troops later did not fight against the Hanhai people, and insisted on attacking.

After all, Lin Nuoyan is only the marshal of the Nanchuan Army, and he has no control over the Zhenxi Army. On April 12th, under the command of its commander, Zhan Ge, the [-] troops of the Zhenxi Army left the Tielan Pass Fortress and stayed in the camp outside the Tielan Pass to the Hanhai Empire. The No.[-] Infantry Corps launched an active offensive.
