Chapter 364 Good News
Seeing so many wounded soldiers transported from the front line, Lin Chuan's heart was immediately lifted up. He no longer had the intention to continue patrolling and hurried back to the camp command center set up on the south bank.
When Lin Chuan returned, the messenger sent by Xiao Zhan had been waiting for a long time, and the chief of staff Xue Wen had already greeted him with a smile on his face.
"General, good news-"
Chief of staff Xue Wen showed an excited look on his face and gave Lin Chuan a letter that had not been opened.
"On the evening of December 25, our troops launched a raid on the First Corps of the Third Army, the Third Corps of the enemy in Hongdu City, and with all the soldiers fighting, they killed more than 25,000 enemy troops, and basically wiped out the First Corps of the enemy Yufeng Army."
"In the early morning of December 26, our army encountered reinforcements of the enemy Second Corps. In the west of Hongdu City, the flag leader Liu Erhu led the death battalion to break into the left wing, and killed the commander of the Second Corps, seized the flag of the Second Corps, and defeated the enemy Second Corps at 3:00 pm. The enemy Third Corps, led by its commander Yu Feng, had withdrawn from the Hongdu area. In this battle, our army killed more than 700 enemy officers and major generals, annihilated more than 48,000 enemies, seized countless weapons, equipment, and food, and is now retreating in an orderly manner. Commander Xiao Zhan."
"Okay, okay!" Lin Chuan quickly read Xiao Zhan's good news with all eyes, and couldn't help but slap his legs and applaud. Xiao Zhan led the new soldiers to fight, and won the first battle, and actually wiped out most of the elite Third Army Corps of the Central Army, which was a huge encouragement for the disadvantaged Nanchuan Army.
"Send an order to reward all the troops participating in the war this time. They have exerted the majesty of our Nanchuan Army and inspired the morale of our Nanchuan Army!"
"Take the victory report to the propaganda team and ask them to send someone to promote me and tell the people in the area north of the Sanggan River that our Nanchuan army has won the battle!"
Xue Wen was also very happy. After all, the Nanchuan army is now retreating in the face of the dynasty army, with countless casualties and injuries. Both the morale and morale are greatly reduced. There are many complaints in the army. If it weren't for the military discipline, something might have happened.
Now, with this inspiring good news, more than 40,000 enemy troops were wiped out in one fell swoop, basically destroying a legion of the Dynasty army. This great victory is enough to regain combat effectiveness for the soldiers with low morale and can also severely shock the enemies around them.
"General, all scouts have sent back the news just now. Our left wing Haotian Legion has retreated and has stopped moving forward. The dynasty troops fighting fiercely with General Sith in the Bordeaux area on the front have also stopped attacking. The enemy troops, which were originally advancing very quickly, are now waiting and watching."
Lin Chuan said fiercely: "Okay, it's just that they have to beat them up and they know that our Nanchuan army is not easy to bully."
Chief of Staff Xue Wen asked: "General, will you implement the next stage of the plan?"
“Since the goal of the first phase has been achieved, the plan for the second phase can now be started immediately.”
According to the combat plan formulated by Lin Chuan and others, the first stage was to concentrate troops to attack the whole way, severely suppress the arrogance of the Dynasty army, increase the morale of the army, and force the rest of the Dynasty army to dare not pursue it alone easily, and delay their speed by shocking.
The combat goal of the second phase is mainly to use the contradictions and weaknesses within the dynasty army to conduct guerrilla warfare. As the dynasty army advances northward, they occupy more and more areas, and the distance between the various armies is getting bigger and bigger, which provides Lin Chuan's Nanchuan army with enough space for activity.
Lin Chuan will send enough troops to the rear of the Dynasty army to harass their supply lines and occupied towns. If necessary, they can concentrate their forces to capture the cities they occupied to create a deterrence.
During the harassment and war, try to separate the conflicts within the dynasty army, and to differentiate and win over the former Nanchuan army troops who were pulled by Zhao Feng. After all, many of them were once Nan Jiyun's troops, and many of them were not very willing to surrender the dynasty.
The elite Central Army and aristocratic armed forces need to be severely attacked and annihilated, because these troops are all hard-working men loyal to the dynasty. The weak provincial garrison troops do not have to worry about them at all as long as they do not pursue them too tightly.
"Report——" A black-clad cavalry rushed over.
"General, General Gangyu has captured Mucheng, and the Zhao family's rebels have fled to the Luoshan Province-"
"Haha, today is really a double happiness. I'll be the only one who is here." Chief of Staff Xue Wen's smile even stronger. A victory was won on the front line, and the rebels in the rear were also cleared. Now the chaotic situation has gradually stabilized.
Lin Chuan has been running back and forth these days, with all kinds of pressure pressing against his shoulders. Although he had always kept his face calm enough, his heart was hanging in his heart, unable to sleep day and night. Now when he heard these news, he suddenly felt relieved, and a strong sense of fatigue came.
"Mr. Xue, I've been too tired these days. I'll go to sleep for a while. You can arrange the next loss first." Lin Chuan felt exhausted, so he said goodbye to Xue Wen, returned to his military tent and fell asleep.
When Xue Wen saw Lin Chuan's thin figure, he couldn't help but sigh. Lin Chuan is only twenty years old now, but he is responsible for the life and death of millions of people. If he is not careful, he will lose everything. It is not easy for Lin Chuan to persevere until now.
"Leakstorm Battalion Commander, let the general have a good rest. He is too tired." Xue Wen ordered Leistorm.
Lei Shao nodded. He had been following Lin Chuan, so he naturally knew the strong pressure his general was under. He couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw Lin Chuan running hard.
The victory made every Nanchuan soldier feel sincerely happy, with a cheerful smile on his face, and their walking pace became more determined, but this time there was no cheer or wine. When they passed through Lin Chuan's military tent, they took the initiative to lighten their steps, allowing the young general to have a safe and sound sleep.
Lin Chuan slept all day long this time. While Lin Chuan was sleeping peacefully, Lin Chuan's old opponent Lan Yu tossed and turned, and it was difficult to fall asleep.
News came from the front line that Yu Feng's Third Corps of the Central Army was attacked by a large number of rebels in the Hongdu area. One corps was defeated and another corps was annihilated. Only the commander of the Legion Yu Feng led the third corps [31 Novel Network] The regiment was still intact and has now evacuated from the Hongdu area and moved closer to the Qingmuchuan area.
"Where did the rebels come from so many people?" Lan Yu frowned. According to the news, the Lin Chuan Legion's military strength had dropped sharply after Zhao Feng's civil strife. There were only 50,000 or 60,000 people in total. The rebels appeared in the Hongdu area and defeated the elite Central Army under his command. The sudden change made Lan Yu unable to touch his head.
Only by knowing yourself and the others can you win every battle. Now the strength of the rebels has undergone new changes, and Lan Yu has to redeploy the attack.
"Tell the front lines to stop advancing immediately to prevent falling into the ambush of the rebels." This was the first order issued by Lan Yu after thinking about it.
"The five flag regiments from the capital area of Nanchuan were transferred to the front line, and the ten flag regiments stationed in Luoshan Province were also transferred."
