Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 749
There are not many defenders in Nuoma Town, not even a centurion. Facing the tough Nanchuan soldiers, they almost eliminated the guards in the town with little effort.

The soldiers of the [-] Banners Battalion rushed through the high mountains for six days and nights, traveled hundreds of miles forward, and penetrated into the depths of Kadong province.

When they emerged from the old forest, every soldier was disheveled and ragged, like ferocious savages, but they frightened the residents of the town quite a bit.

Fortunately, the Nanchuan soldiers have strict military discipline. Although they were sleepy, tired and hungry, they still did not go to grab the food of the residents. Instead, they followed the order of the banner battalion commander Zheng Hu to collect food from the defenders as much as possible to fill their stomachs. , It is really not enough to borrow temporarily from the residents, and issued an IOU.

The soldiers were really exhausted. After wolfing down some food, they found a place to lie down and fell asleep, and snored directly.

Although Zheng Hu, the commander of the Banner Battalion, sent a sentry post to act as a guard, but every soldier has gone through a long journey and has reached his limit both mentally and physically.

At the beginning, several sentries were still holding their stabbing guns and hiding in the grass beside the provincial road with their eyes open as vigilance, but within half an hour they really couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" A team of Hanhai transportation escorting grain and grass was heading towards Nuoma Town along the provincial highway.

They are the transportation team belonging to the No.11 Brigade of Hanhai. Because the road is muddy and difficult, the troops marched lightly and went straight to the Teutonic line, and their convoy, which transported a large amount of food, grass and luggage, was left behind.

The commander of the No.11 Brigade gave them the order to keep up, but the road in the mountainous area was really difficult due to the rain. They still couldn't catch up with the main force, but pulled further and further away.

The weather in the mountains is also unpredictable, the sun is still shining brightly, and it is pouring rain in an instant. The soldiers of the Hanhai Transport Team were all drenched and wanted to find a place to rest and dry their wet clothes.

"Captain! There seems to be a town ahead!" A sharp-eyed soldier saw the town of Nuoma ahead.

Although Nuoma Town is located in a mountainous area, one side is close to the mountain and the other side is a steep cliff, but it is still a place where people live, which is much better than the wilderness. The soldiers of the Hanhai transport team suddenly showed joy on their faces.

Under the urging of the captain of the transportation team, the meandering convoy drove directly into the town of Nuoma, while those Nanchuan sentinels lying in the grass on the side of the road were still sleeping soundly.

Since the sky had already darkened and the sightlines were not good, the soldiers of the Hanhai Transportation Team didn't notice any abnormalities on the street at first, they just watched from the grain truck and knocked on the gates of the residents.

Residents experienced Hanhai soldiers being looted once a day. Nanchuan soldiers came and borrowed some food. At this moment, they opened the door tremblingly.

"Damn it, it took me a long time to open the door. You want to die!" Hanhai soldiers were about to rush into the house cursing. They were used to being arrogant and beat and killed the residents of the Far East. The residents dared not speak out and gave way in a hurry .

The cursing Hanhai soldiers stepped into the house with one foot, and suddenly saw people sleeping in the yard through the dim lantern. These people were wearing ragged black clothes, and there were countless sharp weapons beside them.

The soldiers of Hanhai stepped in and hurried back, shouting at the top of their lungs: "There is an ambush! There is an ambush!"

Han Haibing's exclamation was particularly abrupt in this mountain, and the Nanchuan soldiers who were drowsy were also awakened. When they opened their eyes and saw countless Han Hai soldiers standing in front of them, they got up in shock.

This was a battle that neither side was prepared for. On one side was the exhausted army that had been marching for six days and nights, and on the other was the transport team with low combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness was half a catty, but they were all enemies after all.

The battle started on the streets, and then the scope continued to expand. Although the Nanchuan soldiers were exhausted, they were still field soldiers.

These vast sea transport troops are not even considered as second-line garrison troops. Once the two sides fight, the combat effectiveness will be judged.

[-] Zheng Hu, the battalion commander of the Five Banners, held a battle axe, like a god descending from the earth, the battle ax cut off the heads of the Hanhai soldiers who were facing him, and the bloody arrows flew, and there was almost no enemy.

The rest of the Nanchuan soldiers were also more and more courageous as they fought more and more, killing the Hanhai transport troops and retreating steadily. Although the Hanhai transport troops had a brigade of more than 1000 people, Zheng Hu had a full banner battalion under his command.

The battle lasted for about half an hour. After the last Hanhai soldier was cut down by Zheng Hu, the battle was finally over.

"Clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded!" Seeing the corpses everywhere, Zheng Hu gasped tiredly and ordered loudly.

The losses were quickly counted, 210 people were killed in battle, 200 people were lightly or severely wounded, and none of the 980 people who killed the enemy slipped through the net.

Hearing that there were so many enemies, Zheng Hu also broke out in a cold sweat. After letting so many enemies feel under his nose, he realized that if they reacted a step slower, they would be the ones who died.

Zheng Hu scolded several sentries who were asleep, and directly dismissed him as the ten-man leader of the sentries. After all, this was a major mistake.

But fortunately, Zheng Hu also understood the exhaustion of their continuous march, so he didn't make things difficult for the sentinel after some education.

"Hey, Old Zheng, it's full of food." The sergeant major's eyes lit up when he saw the trucks full of food that wiped out the transport team of the No.11 Brigade of Hanhai.

Zheng Hu was also happy in his heart: "We are also blind cats who have encountered dead mice, but we have seized the food of the Hanhai people, and they will probably starve."

"Hahaha, that's for sure." The sergeant major also laughed.

They encountered a large number of Hanhai troops on the way to Nuoma Town. At that time, because of the tight task of interspersing, they did not detect the opponent's number, but according to the imprints on the grain, they finally knew that it was Hanhai. A full brigade has more than 3 troops.

"Send down the order to build fortifications immediately, we will block the retreat of these Hanhai people!"

The sergeant major responded and hurriedly made preparations. Luckily, he guarded the provincial highway in Nuoma Town. On one side was a steep mountain and on the other side was a bottomless cliff, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

After dinner, he came back from the sentry post outside to report, another army emerged from the forest, Zheng Hu hurried to check, it turned out to be a lost friendly army.

"We are from No.80 Second Banner Battalion and No. [-] Five Banner Battalion. Which unit do you belong to?"

A tower-like man replied: "We are directly under the banner camp of the 63rd Banner Regiment, and we were ordered to capture Heishanzhai on the Katong Provincial Highway."

Zheng Hu smiled: "You have traveled more than 100 miles, and Heishanzhai has already passed."

"Brothers, line up, let's go back down the road—"

"Hey, brother, don't worry, don't worry." Zheng Hu hastily pulled him back.

"Hanhai No.11 brigade has passed, and our main force is in front. They will definitely be beaten back. We have a small force in Nuoma Town. Instead of you rushing for a hundred miles to defend Heishanzhai, it is better to stay here and join us. Keeping here together in one place, the effect is still the same.”
