Chapter 431: Inner Guards Fight

On April 2, starting from the early morning, the dynasty army's thirty infantry flag battalions lined up and advanced towards the town west of Orleans Town.

The fierce battle of the day before, the dynasty army defeated the Zhenxi Army from the front battlefield. If it weren't for the darkness yesterday and the fierce battle of the dynasty army was exhausted all day, the Zhenxi Army would not have had a chance to breathe and would have been defeated long ago.

The commander is now sure to win, and the balance of victory has tilted towards the army led by Long Han. The Zhenxi Army now dares to curl up in the camp and resist and dare not fight.

As long as the hard shell camp protecting Zhenxi Army was broken, the generals of Zhenxi Army would undoubtedly be defeated. This is the idea of ​​the officials of the command department and the ideas of the soldiers at the bottom.

The soldiers who had been resting all night were revitalized. Although the traces of yesterday's fighting remained on their armor, their faces were no longer as panic and uneasy as yesterday. They were like going on a trip, laughing and smiling.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that if reinforcements did not arrive, the failure of the Zhenxi Army had become a foregone conclusion. Faced with hundreds of thousands of dynasties, the more than 100,000 Zhenxi Army that are now guarding the camp can only be eliminated except for surrender.

When Long Han led a mighty army to the periphery of Zhenxi Army's camp and was preparing to launch a new round of attack, the solid camp, deep trenches and barbed wires in Zhenxi Army's camp still shocked the generals of the Dynasty army.

In just one night, the camp of Zhenxi Army underwent earth-shaking changes, and countless chest walls, trenches, wooden stakes and wire mesh were erected, densely packed and heart-wrenching.

These war-torn generals were shocked and felt deeply worried when they saw the dense fortifications. How much does it cost to break it? It will definitely not be small.

"The trapped beasts are just fighting." Central Army Marshal Lan Yu was full of disdain when he saw the solid fortress camp of the western army in Zhenxi. Although he was calm, the soldiers at the bottom were frightened.

The ninth prince Long Han wanted to defeat the enemy without fighting, so he sent a messenger to the camp of Zhenxi Army to issue an ultimatum, asking them to put down their weapons and surrender, but not long after, the messenger's bloody head was hung on the flagpole of Zhenxi Army.

"Have the ability to break through our camp!" Zhenxi Army shouted arrogantly.

Although they lost on the frontal battlefield, their commander Fang Rui was ready for a protracted war at this moment.

The Marshal of Zhenxi Army could see the weakness of Longhan's troops at a glance. The huge number of Longhan's troops could not last long because they could not afford to consume them.

The daily food and grass consumed by hundreds of thousands of people is an astronomical figure, and the provinces in the capital have been greatly damaged. It is more difficult to collect food and grass than to climb the sky. All food and grass have to be collected from nearby provinces. As long as it is dragged down, he will definitely be able to drag Long Han's army down.

"Order the troops to attack." The ninth prince Long Han also knew the weakness of his troops. Since the opponent did not surrender, he decisively issued an order to attack.

The first to fight was the newly formed five infantry flag regiments of the Inner Guard Army. They were directly under the command of the ninth prince Long Han. Although they were formed for a while, a big battle yesterday had already made them grow a lot. Most of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were consumed, and most of the elites who could survive were able to survive.

Long Han was no longer the youthful appearance he had when he first took power, and became more and more scheming. He knew the importance of his owning an army, which was also the guarantee of his status. Therefore, when Baita was reorganized, the original garrison troops and miscellaneous armed forces were directly adapted into the inner guard forces, which he was directly led by.

Lin Nuoyan of the Nanchuan Army and Lan Yu, the Central Army Marshal of the Central Army, was uneasy about the strong desire to take power displayed by the ninth prince Long Han, but after all, he was the commander and might be the future emperor. Therefore, he could only turn a blind eye to the ninth prince Long Han controlling the inner guards and pretended that he had not seen it.

The inner guards did not have time to conduct strict training, and the battlefield was the best training ground, so the ninth prince Long Han deliberately honed the troops in his hands, so he was very generous and asked them to be responsible for the first round of attacks, preparing to allow the inner guards to grow rapidly through the baptism of blood and fire.

"Attack!" The new General of the Inner Guard Zhao Feng hugged the ninth prince Long Han's thigh when the inner puppet army was formed, and now he has become the General of the Inner Guard.

The one-armed inner guard general was originally from the Nanchuan Army, but later rebelled and surrendered to the dynasty under Lan Yu's command, and now he surrendered to Long Han's command.

Lin Chuan sneered at such a fence-bearing man and had a deep hatred with Zhao Feng. He advised Long Han not to trust such people lightly, but the generals directly under Long Han's current inner security forces nodded and agreed to Lin Chuan every time, and turned around and promoted Zhao Feng.

Faced with Long Han’s so-called imperial skills and balance, Lin Chuan could only keep his kindness in his heart, because if he said too much, it would instead arouse others’ disgust. This is the case with the so-called honest advice.

No matter what, Zhao Feng, a rebel general who rebelled several times, has now become a celebrity around the Ninth Prince Long Han. Even Lin Chuan, who has a deep hatred with him, Lin Nuoyan dared not act rashly at this moment. After all, the Ninth Prince Long Han is standing behind Zhao Feng now.

"Brothers, step down the camp of the western army in Zhen, cut off Fang Rui's head and offer it to His Highness Ninth!"

"Long live Your Highness Nine! Long live Your Highness Nine!"

The soldiers of the five infantry flag regiments held their weapons high and shouted long live, sweeping towards the camp of Zhenxi Army with a terrible offensive like a sea of ​​terrible attacks, as unstoppable as thunder.

The ninth prince Long Han heard the sound of long live like a tsunami coming from the front, and his face was filled with smiles, and he was even more satisfied with Zhao Feng whom he personally promoted.

Compared with the optimism of the ninth prince Long Han, the other generals were worried. Faced with so many solid fortifications of the Zhenxi Army, it would be too vague to launch a charge in a rush.

Sure enough, when the inner guards rushed into an arrow outside the Zhenxi Army camp, arrows like locusts fell densely.

The inner guards who were shouting at the attack were harvested in groups, and the blood mist and shrill screams soon replaced the sound of long live.

"Don't retreat! Move forward!" Zhao Feng, the commander of the Inner Guard who was like a locust, did not change the offensive tactics, but instead urged the soldiers to attack.

The soldiers of the Inner Guard held their shields and advanced forward in the rain of arrows. The casualties became increasingly serious. The barbed wire and trenches made them difficult for them to walk, bloody and wail. Before they could approach the camp of the West Army in Zhen, the Inner Guard troops had already suffered more than half of them.

The attack lasted from early morning until noon. The internal guards, which had more than half of the casualties, never approached the camps at Zhenxijun camp. They faced a series of blows such as locust-like arrow rain, stone catapults, sharp crossbow arrows, and tinder oil. They suffered heavy losses. Charred corpses covered the battlefield layer by layer, and blood gathered into a small river.

Zhao Feng, the commander of the Inner Guard Force, was helpless in the face of the strong Zhenxi Army camp. Seeing that the casualties were getting worse, he had to draw new troops to join the battlefield.

Fortunately, the Zhenxi Army's crossbows were limited, and it had almost been consumed in the morning. In the afternoon, the inner guards finally broke into the Zhenxi Army's camp, and the two sides launched the most tragic close combat.

The fierce battle continued until dusk, and the inner guard forces lost tens of thousands of people. Dozens of thousands of teams still could not break into the western army camp of the Shadang Town. Instead, they were beaten by the opponent several short counterattacks, and the casualties became increasingly serious.

"Retreat." The ninth prince Long Han went from being happy at first to being frustrated in the end, with a frustrated look, his heart was like a roller coaster, ups and downs, and finally he issued an order to retreat when night came.

The soldiers of the inner guards who were responsible for the attack heard the sound of the horn of withdrawal and retreated like a tide, leaving behind the bodies all over the ground. The attack on April 2nd ended with the retreat of the inner guards.
