Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 741 Strategic Detour
In April [-] AD, the reorganized Nanchuan Army's Far East Army set out from the camp in Kara Province, and took the initiative to send troops to Teutonic Province, looking for the vast sea army to fight.

After the reorganization, the Far East Army has [-] reorganized flag regiments, and most of the grassroots officers are veterans or sergeants transferred from Zhanzheng College or other Nanchuan Army units.

After more than two months of training, the Far East Army has been completely reborn from the loose organizational structure of the rebel army at the beginning, and has become an army with a strict organizational structure and sturdy soldiers.

Now, whether it is the Far East or other areas of the dynasty, wars are raging everywhere, wars continue, and the forces of all parties appear on the stage after singing and fighting each other endlessly.

As Lin Chuan, who possesses great strength, intends to take a share in this chaotic world where heroes compete for the throne, it is naturally inseparable from the support of powerful legions, and now the seven major legions under the Nanchuan Army have gradually taken shape.

The Far East is vast and rich in resources, and the central region is a rich grain-producing area. Therefore, after careful consideration, Lin Chuan decided to take over the Far East and build it into a solid base for his hegemony.

As long as the Far East can provide the Nanchuan Army with a steady stream of food and soldiers, then Lin Chuan is confident that he can defeat the heroes in a short time and establish a new empire.

Therefore, the Far East has become an important part of the rise of the Nanchuan Army, and it is also an important part of the empire in Linchuan's plan. Although the Hanhai Empire occupies this place, Linchuan is bound to win.

During the two months of the training of the Far East Army, weapons and equipment and veterans from Nanchuan Province were continuously transported into the Far East. The purpose was simple, to expand the strength of the Nanchuan Army in the Far East and defeat the Hanhai people.

Relying on a large number of officers, veterans and sergeants with combat experience, the Far Eastern Army quickly built the skeleton of the army, and then carefully selected elite soldiers, and formed a preliminary combat effectiveness in just two months.

March is the time when spring is warm and flowers are blooming. After a few spring rains, the green grass on the withered and yellow field popped up almost overnight, and it was full of vitality as far as the eye could see.

However, the weather in the Far East is still harsh, foggy and gloomy, and the roads have become muddy due to the rain.

A whole army is marching eastward on the muddy road, the queue is winding, and the black military flag is so mighty that you can't see the end at a glance.

All the soldiers of the Far Eastern Legion have finished changing their costumes. They put on the uniform black military uniforms, black battle armor, and uniform stainless steel swords of the Nanchuan Army. The morale of the army has also taken on a new look.

Mu Xue, the head of the Far Eastern Army, looked at the winding army, full of pride in his heart, and couldn't wait to lead this mighty and majestic army to a beautiful victory in order to thank Lin Chuan for his kindness.

Mu Xue has been with the Nanchuan Army since the formation of the Nanchuan Army. At first, he served as a military judge under the command of the military judge Liu Zichen. Later, he was transferred to the combat unit because of his bravery in combat.

Step by step from a centurion commander, he became the commander of the banner battalion, the commander of the banner, the deputy commander of the regiment, and the commander of the regiment by virtue of his military exploits. He has grown into a senior general of the Nanchuan Army year by year.

But among the star-studded Nanchuan army, there are countless powerful and Muxue soldiers. Although Muxue served as the regiment commander at the beginning, it is far away to go further.

It was at this time that Lin Chuan sent Mu Xue to the Far East to lead the rebel army against the Hanhai army. Lin Chuan promised Mu Xue that he would give Mu Xue an official title as big as he could pull the rebel army.

Muxue finally lived up to Lin Chuan's expectations, and led a vigorous uprising in the Far East. At one point, his military strength reached more than 200 million people. There are only a dozen or so flag groups left under his command.

Lin Chuan did not break his promise. After the rebel army accepted the reorganization of the Nanchuan Army, Mu Xue was also appointed as the head of the army, officially among the seven main armies, and the most powerful army.

Each of the other regiments of the Nanchuan Army has at most twelve banner regiments, but the blood-soaked Far East Army has a total of thirty banner regiments. The strongest army is well-deserved.

The reason why Lin Chuan expanded the Far East Legion to [-] flag regiments was firstly to deal with the powerful Hanhai people, and secondly to praise Muxue. After all, he was born and died alone in the Far East. All the honors he deserves.

Mu Xue is now grateful to Lin Chuan and at the same time determined to die. Lin Chuan is his bole, and he is the sharpest sword in Lin Chuan's hand. The point of the sword is invincible.

Mu Xue, head of the legion, followed the military order of deputy commander Ming Yang to attack the Teutonic province eastward. Firstly, he wanted to test the strength of the reorganized army, and secondly, he also wanted to repay Lin Chuan for his kindness.

Minks City is the west gate of the Teutonic Province. Mu Xue led the mighty soldiers of the Far East Army to point directly at the Teutonic Province. All the troops in the province gathered in Minx City, hoping to block the attack of the Far East Army here.

Although the Hanhai Army now has millions of troops in the Far East, it is distributed in more than ten provinces and important cities. Therefore, the troops that the Teutonic Provincial Garrison Command can command are only ten divisions of Hanhai and ten divisions. The servant army of a division.

It stands to reason that a provincial garrison command can command a maximum of three or five divisions, but the Teutonic province is located on the border of the areas controlled by both sides, so it has a large number of troops.

Ayulie is the garrison commander of the Teutonic province. He was originally a general under the command of Denzel, the commander of the Hanhai First Army. Denzel's troops were destroyed. Ayulie suppressed the rebel army in the Teutonic province. The remnant, so escaped unharmed.

This time when the Far Eastern Army entered the Teutonic Province, the garrison commander Ayulie gathered nearly twenty divisions in Minks City, so he might not have the intention of avenging his old boss.

But Mu Xue, as the head of the Far East Army, knew that Minx City was easy to defend and difficult to attack before the army set off. In addition, there were a large number of Hanhai troops stationed there. Even if they captured it, their Far East Army would suffer a lot.

As a newly established legion, Muxue's tragic victory is not what Muxue wants to see. What he needs is a complete annihilation battle, so his battle formation is not to storm the garrisoned Minx City, but to prepare to carry out Strategic detours.

Minks stationed ten divisions of the Han Navy and ten divisions of the Han Hai Servant Army. They can be said to be strong and strong, and Mu Xue has a big appetite. He is going to eat this army of the Han Hai.

So the first place Muxue chose to attack was not the heavily fortified Minks City, but the Red Iron Fort two hundred miles deep from Minks City.

As long as the Red Iron Fort is captured, the Hanhai army stationed in Minks City will be cut off from the rear and supplies, and will become a lone army guarding the city. Surrounded, they can't last long.

The task of taking a detour to capture the Red Iron Fort is arduous, because the Red Iron Fort is also heavily guarded, so it must be taken by surprise. As long as the Red Iron Fort is captured and the Minks City defenders are cut off from the rear, the battle is already half won.

To be on the safe side, the head of the legion did not entrust the task of capturing the Red Iron Fort to Ma Fang, a brave general who is known for his bravery. Instead, he asked Yang Jindou, a more thoughtful general, to lead the five banner groups to attack.

The main force of the Far East Legion led by Mu Xue is advancing towards Minx City, and the scouts have spread out for more than 100 miles. At the same time, the soldiers of the five banner regiments led by the titan Yang Jindou have appeared in the forest a hundred miles outside the Red Iron Fort. edge.

At this moment, the troops led by Yang Jindou, ambushing day and night, have bypassed Minx City, which is heavily guarded by the Hanhai Army, and have penetrated to a distance of more than 100 miles behind the Hanhai Army. Red Iron Fort cut off the logistical supplies of the Hanhai Army in Minx City and completed the strategic encirclement.

The pattering rain is still falling, and the soldiers of the Far Eastern Legion who have been rushing for several days and nights are lurking in the dense forest to rest. Yang Jindou is wearing a black shirt, standing on the edge of the forest, looking at the gray rainy sky Straight scolding.

When it rains heavily, the road will become even muddier. Besides, this is the enemy's rear, and there are dangers everywhere. If they can't take the Red Iron Fort quickly, once they are exposed, they will be surrounded by the vast sea cavalry. Instead of completing the mission, they will be killed. There is a danger of destruction.

Da da da——there was the sound of horseshoes in the rain, and the soldiers of the Far Eastern Legion hiding at the edge of the forest immediately raised their crossbows and prepared to shoot.

In the gray mist, two scout cavalry wearing black cloaks rode their horses into sight, and the warrior with the bow and crossbow heaved a sigh of relief.

The black armored cavalry dismounted and ran to Yang Jindou who was standing at the edge of the forest.

"Reporting to the general, we have already found out that the more than 100 miles from here to the Red Iron Castle is a plain area..."

Hearing the scout's report, Yang Jindou frowned deeply. If they wanted to reach the Red Iron Fort with so many troops from the five banner regiments, they had to pass through the plain area of ​​more than 100 miles. It is easy to be exposed, and once exposed, the raid fails.

But in order to capture the Red Iron Fort on time, detours were impossible, so Yang Jindou gritted his teeth and prepared to take a risk.

A look of sternness flashed across Yang Jindou's face, and he ordered the scouts: "Go back and tell your banner battalion commander to throw out all the scouts, and make sure that there is no living person within twenty miles of the army's marching route, understand?"

Now, in order to avoid the exposure of the army, Yang Jindou didn't care so much anymore, he could only use iron and blood to wipe out all the villages and living people on the route, the only way to ensure safety.

The scouts rode their horses into the foggy distance again, Yang Jindou gave some instructions to the generals behind him, and a moment later densely packed black-armored warriors emerged from the forest and meandered into the plain area in a long line. Go straight to the Red Iron Fort a hundred miles away.
