Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 603 The Fire Burns the City
"Kill!" The No.14 army of Hanhai rushed day and night, arrived at the north of Hezhong City in the early morning, and immediately launched an attack on Hezhong City without stopping.

The ten divisions under the No.14 Army scrambled to rush towards Hezhong City, all wanting to seize the top spot, but when they held up knives and guns, pushed nest carts, crashed into the city cart, and ladders, etc., they fell under Hezhong City. Strangely, no resistance was encountered, and the entire River City was silent.

Looking at the Hezhong City shrouded in mist, Cao Ge, the commander of the No.14 Army, had a cloudy face, worried that this was a trap.

"No. 30 Division [-] continues to attack, and the rest of the troops stay on guard!" In the end, Cao Ge decided to test it out, and just sent a division into the city, even if there was an ambush, the loss would not be too great.

The 30 soldiers of the No. [-] First Division carefully climbed the ladder into the city, carrying their shields and holding their swords.

The streets of Hezhong City were in a mess, and various discarded items could be seen everywhere. Hanhai soldiers formed countless teams and slowly advanced, almost turning the entire Hezhong City upside down, but there was no living Nanchuan army at all.

"General, the city is empty, and the Nanchuan Army has already retreated—" the commander of the 31st Division handed Cao Ge a note left by the Nanchuan Army when they withdrew.

"Burning suckling pig?" Seeing the note left by the Nanchuan army, Cao Ge was puzzled, not knowing what it meant.

"General, general, the city is on fire!" Just as Cao Ge was about to ask the people around him what they meant, suddenly a soldier came running wildly from a distance, shouting while running.

Cao Ge looked up and saw thick smoke billowing in Hezhong City, straight to the sky, his face suddenly changed wildly: "Quickly, get the 31st Division out!"

But before Cao Ge's words reached the city, the entire Hezhong City had quickly turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the huge flames at the gate of the city forced the soldiers who were going to deliver the order back.

Lin Chuan and the others were too hasty when they evacuated, and all the kerosene that was originally used to defend the city was poured into the city. It can be said that the Hezhong City at this moment is a pile that is more flammable than dry firewood. The Nanchuan soldiers in the city immediately lit the fire oil.

In just a few minutes, before the No.30 First Division, which had entered the city, could react, the city that had been doused with kerosene was instantly engulfed in flames.

The fire spread rapidly, and the Hanhai people of the No.30 First Division in the city wanted to evacuate, but there was a big fire everywhere, and there was choking smoke everywhere, and they were not familiar with Hezhong City, so they could only run around blindly. Consumed by fire.

"Hurry up to put out the fire! Hurry up to put out the fire!" General Cao Ge roared angrily as his knuckles turned white as he watched the [-] soldiers under his command being engulfed in flames.

The troops of the No.14 Army threw down their weapons and went to fight the fire, but the whole city was burning. Facing the skyrocketing fire, they were overturned by the scorching air waves just by approaching. They could only watch helplessly with the ten thousand soldiers of the 31st Division Falling into the sea of ​​flames, listening to the screams, many people felt chills down their backs. This Nanchuan army was too ruthless.

"Hurry up! Break into the River City!" Denzel, the commander of the Hanhai Advance Group Army, heard that the Nanchuan Army had withdrawn from the position, and immediately commanded the troops to attack the River City.

When he arrived at River City, what he saw was a group of No.14 Army troops who were smoked and their faces were blackened. The entire River City had been completely burned by the fire, and 14 soldiers of No.[-] Army had also been buried Taste.

"Where is the barbecue?" Denzel asked, smelling the smell of barbecue in the air.

"Huh!" Cao Ge's face was gloomy and frightening, and he snorted coldly, ignoring Denzel's sarcasm. He wanted to lead the [-]th Army from the north to take the lead in capturing River City and take the credit for Denzel's achievements. Mi, I lost [-] soldiers in vain.

With a sigh of relief in his heart, regardless of Denzel who was standing there watching the joke, Cao Ge led the No.14 Army to pursue the Nanchuan Army fleeing westward with a big wave of his hand, vowing to vent his anger fiercely.

"Give me an order. Seventh, the No. 11 Army immediately set off to pursue the enemy, and Cao Ge cannot take the credit!" Denzel waited until Cao Ge led the army to leave, his face returned to seriousness, and he immediately ordered.

Although Denzel and Cao Ge belong to the Han Navy system, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Moreover, Denzel and Cao Ge belong to two different factions. Although the two sides are peaceful on the surface, the competition behind them is very fierce.

The voluntary withdrawal of the Nanchuan Army led by Lin Chuan made Cao Ge feel like he was punching the air with his fist. He held his breath in his heart and was very aggrieved, so the No.14 Army pursued even more fiercely.

Denzel's vanguard group army was also unwilling, and seemed to compete with Cao Ge's troops, so the two armies chased the retreating Nanchuan army like a competition.

The rest of the Hanhai army did not get any benefits in Hezhong City, so they were naturally unwilling, so they marched westward one after another. At one time, hundreds of thousands of troops marched side by side within a range of hundreds of miles, and followed the retreating Nanchuan army towards the west. pounce.

In order to catch the retreating Nanchuan Army troops as soon as possible, each branch of the Han Navy dispatched highly maneuverable cavalry units. Among them, the cavalry unit led by Du Fei of the Seventh Army of the Han Sea rushed forward with vengeance. Trying to run to the front of the Nanchuan Army, trying to intercept the retreating Nanchuan Army.

The Nanchuan Army retreated cleverly, and the [-]-mile-long defense line had no time to assemble, so Lin Chuan ordered to choose the retreat route by himself, while the Nanchuan Army Command followed the provincial road under the protection of a guard flag battalion. Withdrew west.

"Master Xue, do you think the fire in Hezhong City is on fire?" Lin Chuan asked Xue Wen with a smile beside the fire, where the retreating Nanchuan Army's provisional headquarters was resting in a deserted village.

Although the defense line in Hezhong was not defended, Xue Wen, the chief of staff, didn't care at the moment. He already had a new battle plan in his mind. Facing Lin Chuan's question, he laughed: "The Hanhai people are so fierce, since they want Hezhong City, Let's just leave it to them, and the fire is just a little condiment I added to them."

Lin Chuan rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, Xue Wen was not an enemy. If it was true, it would really be a headache. Just the big fire, it must be impossible to guard against.

"Young Marshal, there are Hanhai people catching up!" Just as Lin Chuan and Xue Wen were discussing the follow-up battle plan, the battalion commander of Jinwei Banner strode forward with a solemn expression.

"The Hanhai people came so fast?" Lin Chuan raised his head and smiled wryly at Xue Wen, "It seems we have to run for our lives again."

"We are destined to run around. If we want to rest, the people of Hanhai will not let us." Xue Wen, the chief of staff, stood up with a wry smile.

Under the cover of Jinwei Qiying, just as Lin Chuan and Xue Wen walked to the entrance of the village, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the loud shouts of Hanhai people.

"The 1000th team covers the young marshal. The chief of staff will go first, and the rest will follow me to stop the enemy!" Seeing that the Hanhai cavalry had already bitten up, the battalion commander of the Guard Banner shouted, and led two thousand-man teams to kill him. go back.

At this moment, there is only a 3000-man Guards Banner Battalion left beside Lin Chuan, and the rest of the troops are dispersing and retreating along the rest of the route. Facing the chasing Hanhai cavalry, Lin Chuan and the others had no choice but to keep running away. It's embarrassing.

Lin Chuan really wanted to lead the Guard Banner Battalion to fight the ambush of Hanhai people's chasing soldiers, but he had to give up his idea when he thought of the large number of staff and civilian staff accompanying the army. After all, these personnel of the command department were also treasures he dug , There can be no loss, Lin Chuan doesn't know at this moment, a huge crisis is approaching him.
