Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 590 Sixteen Banners Regiment
In the dark night, the two brigades of the Han Navy who first arrived at the battlefield immediately threw themselves into the battle to attack the defense line in the river without stopping. The two sides started a fierce battle in the dark night.

The reason why the Han Navy launched the attack overnight was that apart from its contempt for the Nanchuan Army and its overconfidence, another important reason was that the rest of the Han Navy troops were swarming in, and they didn't want to hand over their exploits.

The three armies under the commander of the Hanhai Advance Army, Denzel, have been given the title of advance, but if River City is occupied first by the rest of the Hanhai Army, Denzel will fall into a passive position, and his face will be nowhere to be seen. put.

Denzel was well aware of the competitive relationship between the other armies of the vast sea, and knew that they would never give up taking a bite of his own fat, so he dispatched two brigades of 6 people to speed up and try to take the lead in capturing River City.

But Denzel underestimated the strength of the Nanchuan Army, and encircled and wiped out 3 people from the Ninth Brigade of Hanhai. The attack of the two brigades of the Chinese Communist Party was not so smooth.

Han Haijun originally wanted to take advantage of the night to make a surprise attack and capture Hezhong City in one fell swoop. In the early stage, they quickly defeated the Seventh Banner Regiment of Nanchuan with a swift and fierce offensive. Li Qing, the leader of the banner, was seriously injured and was rescued.

But then, under the command of Lin Chuan, the Nanchuan Army launched a counterattack against the advancing Han Navy. With Lin Cunzhi's first heavy flag regiment as the main force, and five light infantry flag regiments as the two wings, the Han Navy that broke into the line of defense was attacked head-on. .

The fierce battle lasted from midnight to dawn. Facing the Nanchuan Army's resolute resistance and occasional counterattacks, the attacks of the two Hanhai brigades were repelled, and their attempt to capture Hezhong City by night was completely shattered.

Facing the counterattack of the Nanchuan army, the two brigades of Hanhai had to fight and retreat. At dawn, the Nanchuan army had regained the first line of defense and drove the Han navy several miles away.

Given that the Hanhai Army has a large number of cavalry troops, Lin Chuan ordered the counterattack troops to stop their pursuit and immediately restore the line of defense destroyed by the fierce battle to prepare for a new round of attack.

"General, the battle report——" The news of the setback of the two brigades of Hanhai Frontier was immediately sent to the advance army commander Denzel, who was leading the main force to the city of Hezhong.

Denzel originally thought that it would not be difficult to take down Hezhong City by relying on the elite troops of the two brigades to destroy the resistance of the Nanchuan Army, but he underestimated the strength of the Nanchuan Army. He looked at the battle report, and his smiling face suddenly sank .

"General, what's the matter?" Du Fei, the commander of the Seventh Army, stepped forward and asked.

Denzel handed the battle report to Du Fei and said, "General Metus reported that they encountered stubborn resistance from the Nanchuan Army on the outskirts of River City, and now they are at least twenty miles away from River City."

Du Fei, the commander of the Seventh Army, was shocked as he held the battle report. Obviously, the imperial army hadn’t encountered such a powerful enemy for a long time. First, they wiped out one of their brigades, but now the elites of the two brigades were blocked from entering. As he read the battle report, the blood in his body suddenly boiled up, maybe he could really usher in a hearty battle.

"The Nanchuan Army has two regiments with at least 20 people? General Metters can't be fooled, right?" Du Fei joked while looking at the battle report.

Denzel shook his head solemnly: "Although General Metters has an inescapable responsibility for the failure of this attack, I don't think he dares to lie about the military situation."

"If there are really 20 Nanchuan Army deployed on the front line of Hezhong City, then this battle will be interesting." Du Fei showed a smile on his face. He was eager to fight against a powerful opponent. Obviously, the Nanchuan Army had attracted him. interest of.

Denzel took the battle report and tore it into shreds, then waved his hand into the air, a stern look flashed in his eyes: "Since the Nanchuan army wants to try the blade of our imperial army, then I can't let them down! "

"General Du Fei—"

"The end is here!"

"I order your troops to set off immediately, attack from Raven Ridge, go around to the back of River City, block the Nanchuan Army's retreat, and I will wipe them out!" Denzel ordered loudly.

Du Fei rubbed his chapped lips, and smiled: "General, don't worry, our Seventh Army will definitely give them a big gift!"

The Seventh Army of the Hanhai Sea was originally a pure cavalry force, but Orlando, Marshal of the Hanhai Empire, in view of the situation of many cities in the hinterland of the Far Eastern Dynasty, specially synthesized and reorganized the 80 Western Expeditionary Troops under his command at the Tielan Pass Fortress, and organized the cavalry and infantry reasonably. , In this way, there is a balance between maneuverability and siege ability, which improves combat efficiency.

Among the ten divisions under the Seventh Army, five cavalry divisions and five infantry divisions, the cavalry is responsible for surprise maneuvers, and the infantry is responsible for subsequent advances, occupation and siege. This combination has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the previous pure cavalry units.

Du Fei is the commander of the Seventh Army. He once led his cavalry in the Far East to the east of Tielan Pass and created the discipline of capturing a province in two days. Therefore, his favorite combat method is also long-distance raids, which greatly utilizes the cavalry's abilities. mobility.

Therefore, after Du Fei received the order to attack from the line of Raven Ridge and go around to the back of Hezhong City to block the retreat of the Nanchuan Army, he immediately left five infantry divisions and continued to follow the main force, and personally led the five cavalry divisions to attack. Raven Ridge rushed away, ready to show off his long-range raid tactics again.

Raven Ridge is located [-] miles north of River City. The mountains are undulating and famous for its abundance of ravens. As long as you go around Duan Ya Ridge, you can follow the river all the way to the east and go around to the east of River City. Raven Ridge can be said to be strategic location.

When Lin Chuan arranged the blocking defense line of Hezhong City, he was naturally worried that the Hanhai soldiers would not be able to attack from the front and surrounded Hezhong City from the north, so he also placed a flag regiment at Raven Ridge just in case
"Brothers, work harder! Drive the stake deep!" Chu Ming, head of the No.16 Banner Banner under the Nanchuan Second Field Army, has led the troops to Raven Ridge, and is hurrying up to build the defense line.

Chu Ming is also a student who graduated from the first batch of Nanchuan War College. After a year of hard work, he has now become a banner regiment officer and ranks among the senior generals.

As a newly promoted young general, Chu Ming is well aware of his lack of actual combat experience, so whether it is training or performing tasks on weekdays, he always leads by example, and is more diligent and hardworking. Therefore, although he is young, he has already won the unanimous support of the officers and soldiers of the Sixteen Banners Regiment .

"Old Guan, what's the matter with your Banner Battalion, you are so lazy." When Chu Ming inspected the position of the Third Banner Battalion, he found the officers and soldiers of the Third Banner Battalion lazily basking in the sun.

"Chief Banner, we are [-] miles away from the river. The friendly forces are all fighting the Hanhai people in Hezhong City. You see, we are drinking the northwest wind here. Why are our fortifications so easy to build? Anyway, the Hanhai people If you don’t come again, your efforts will be in vain.” Guan Shanla, the commander of the Third Banner Battalion, raised his head and made a fuss.

The Nanchuan Army attaches great importance to military merits, and military exploits can not only be rewarded with large sums of money, but also an important basis for promotion. Therefore, every unit of the Nanchuan Army fights for the attack every time.

This time the No.16 Banner Battalion did not win a frontal combat mission, but was sent to Raven Ridge thirty miles away to prevent possible enemies. This made many officers and soldiers who wanted to make military exploits very frustrated. , which means that this battle has almost nothing to do with them, but what they don't know is that fifty thousand cavalry in Hanhai are approaching them.
