Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 598: The Southern Front is in a hurry!
River City, Governor's Mansion.

"Get out of the way! I have an emergency situation!"

A general in a blood-stained shirt rushed into the temporary headquarters of the Nanchuan Army set up in the Governor's Mansion, shouting, and the guards and staff officers along the way made way for him.

Li Qiye, head of the Jinwei Banner, was in charge of the security work of the temporary command headquarters. When he saw Mu Xue coming in a hurry, he rushed to greet him.

"General Li, where is the young commander? I want to see the young commander. I have an urgent military situation—" Mu Xue knew Li Qiye, who was Lin Chuan's guard, and hurriedly asked, his face full of anxiety.

Li Qiye showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and made a booing gesture: "General Mu, the young commander just fell asleep, and he didn't close his eyes all night last night, why don't you wait for a while."

"What about chief of staff Xue?! I can tell the chief of staff."

"The chief of staff went to urge the food and grass to come back."

"General Li, the defense line of Sancha River has been breached. Now we must report to the young commander immediately. We can't wait for this matter." Mu Xue was extremely anxious.

"General Mu, please wait for a moment, I'll go and wake up the young commander." Li Qiye knew the urgency of the matter, his expression turned serious, and he turned and ran towards the house.

The Battle of Hezhong had broken out in full force. Hanhai's hundreds of thousands of troops stormed the defense points of the Nanchuan Army. Lin Chuan worked overtime and worked all night. After sleeping for less than three hours, Li Qiye had to wake him up.

Hearing that the battle on the front line has changed, Lin Chuan hurried to the war room with his bloodshot eyes to meet the regiment commander Mu Xue.

"Mu Xue, what's the matter?" Before Lin Chuan stepped into the war room, he saw Mu Xue in the blood-stained shirt, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked.

When Mu Xue saw Lin Chuan coming, he was extremely anxious as if he had found the backbone, and hurriedly stood up and said with shame on his face: "Young commander, I am guilty, I did not hold the line of defense—but please let the young commander watch our corps fight to the death For the sake of fighting against the enemy, save the soldiers of our Third Corps." Saying that, Mu Xue was about to kneel down.

"Sit down and talk slowly, what's going on?" Seeing the majestic corps commander kneel down to himself, Lin Chuan pulled him up.

Lin Chuan pulled Mu Xue into a chair and sat down. Lin Chuan poured Mu Xue a glass of water himself, "Speak slowly, don't worry."

Seeing that Lin Chuan was still calm in such a situation, Mu Xue's original anxiety was greatly affected, and he gradually calmed down, and wiped the blood on his face.

"Young commander, our three corps guarded the line of the Sancha River in the south of Hezhong City. We fought fiercely all night last night. The Hanhai soldiers retreated at dawn. I saw that the soldiers were exhausted and left a small number of troops on the line of defense. The rest of the troops retreated to rest. Replenish physical strength, but who knows that the Hanhai people are playing tricks, instead of resting, they organized a heavy armored division to carry out a surprise attack. Before I could mobilize the troops to attack, the line of defense was breached..."

Lin Chuan's heart sank when he learned that the defense line of the Sancha River had been breached. Once the Sancha River was lost, the south of Hezhong City would be exposed to the soldiers of the Hanhai people, and there was a danger of being surrounded.

"What's the specific situation now? Where did the Hanhai people break through?"

"After our line of defense was breached, the soldiers of our corps continued to resist, but they were heavy armored divisions, and we suffered a lot. Now they have advanced three or four miles."

Hearing that the Muxue Corps had barely blocked the Hanhai Bing's assault, Lin Chuan's expression finally eased. He just needs to move up by himself, and it shouldn't be difficult to regain the Sanchahe defense line.

"Young Marshal, although we blocked their attack, the No.12 Banner Regiment of our corps did not withdraw in time, and now it has been made dumplings by the Hanhai people. Our corps is no longer capable of saving them. Please watch over, Marshal. For the sake of fighting to the death, save them." Mu Xue asked with a choked voice.

Lin Chuan patted Mu Xue on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "What are you talking about? It's all my Nanchuan soldiers. How could I die? Don't worry, I will send troops to rescue No.12 with you. Brothers of the Banner Corps."

"Thank you, Marshal, on behalf of the brothers of the Twelve Banners Regiment, I would like to thank the Marshal for his life-saving grace!" The blood-soaked boots made a crisp clinking sound, and he saluted Lin Chuan with his right fist on his chest.

The No.12 Banner Regiment had been fighting fiercely for several days, and its staff had already been severely reduced. Now it was heavily surrounded by the Hanhai Army. Lin Chuan worried that they would not last long, so he immediately asked his staff about the situation of the reserve team.

"Give me an order to transfer the reserve teams of the two banner regiments to the Sanchahe defense line, cooperate with the third army to regain the defense line, and rescue the No. 12 banner regiment." Lin Chuan ordered to the staff officer.

"Young Marshal, our last reserve team has been sent to reinforce Raven Ridge in the north half an hour ago, and we have no reserve team now..." the staff officer explained to Lin Chuan with deep affection and frustration .

Hanhai's hundreds of thousands of troops stormed westward, and the Nanchuan army led by Lin Chuan was under tremendous pressure. The two sides fought fiercely on a line of defense as long as one hundred miles.

Lin Chuan slapped his head after hearing the answer from the staff officer. He was too tired these days, which made his thinking a little unclear. He even forgot that the reserve team was gone. He suddenly realized that the Nanchuan Army had fallen into a crisis. It's a very dangerous situation, but he can't afford to think about it now. The top priority now is to rescue the besieged Twelve Banners and stabilize the defense line in the south, otherwise the defense line in the river will collapse.

"Give me an order to chase back the Tenth Banner Regiment that set off to reinforce Duya Ridge half an hour ago and transfer it to the Sanchahe defense line. Stabilize the line of defense for me."

The staff officer reminded: "Young Marshal, the Sixteen Banners Regiment at Raven Ridge reported that they were attacked by tens of thousands of Hanhai troops. If we withdraw the reinforcements, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand..."

Lin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Let the third banner regiment who is close to them transfer a banner battalion to Raven Ridge for reinforcements, and at the same time tell Chu Ming to hold on for another three days, and reinforcements will come to reinforce him after three days."

After Lin Chuan's order was issued, the staff officer's lips twitched, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and hurried out to deliver the order.

"Young Marshal, it is enough for me to take the Tenth Banner Regiment to Sanchahe. We will definitely regain the position and save the brothers of the No.12 Banner Regiment. Keep the Guard Banner Regiment here. Your safety is of the utmost importance." Mu Xue saw that Lin Chuan was going to transfer his guard flag regiment to the Sanchahe defense line, worried about Lin Chuan's safety, so he offered a suggestion.

"The defense line of Sancha River is very important. The two flag regiments will be assigned to you. Be sure to guard them. My place is still safe for the time being. You don't have to worry." Lin Chuan said in relief to Mu Xue.

Lin Chuan's order was quickly conveyed to the Tenth Banner Regiment. They were originally ordered to reinforce the urgent Duyaling line, but now they had to turn back to the urgent Sancha River in the south.

"The whole army obeys orders! The front team has changed to the rear team! The target is Sancha River, run forward!" The messengers riding on their horses rolled up a puff of smoke, and the long marching team suddenly turned around.

At this moment, Raven Ridge has become a battlefield of flesh and blood. Unbeknownst to Chu Ming, the commander of the No.16 Banner Regiment, the reinforcements he has been waiting for will not come, and their Sixteen Banner Regiment will independently resist the Hanhai Army several times .
