The four hundred and fortieth chapter goes straight to Wang Jing
Chapter 453: Flexible as a tiger
The night is as cold as ink, and the cool night breeze makes people feel a little cool. On a remote path leading to Wangjing, more than 20,000 soldiers led by Lin Chuan were walking in a hurry overnight. In order to avoid getting lost at night, all the soldiers were connected with the soldiers in front of them with ropes. They marched quickly at night. It was the basic subject that the soldiers of the Nanchuan Army trained on weekdays. They had undergone countless drills, so they suddenly received an order to start, which did not cause much chaos, and everything was in order.
Compared with the proficiency of the Nanchuan soldiers, the prisoners who had just joined the army could not bear it. He had never experienced such a high-intensity night marching. By the middle of the night, many people were already exhausted and unable to walk.
Fortunately, the Nanchuan Army has always been united. The old soldiers did not blame these unmovable recruits, but tried their best to help them. The veterans kept cheering these unmovable recruits and encouraging them to continue to persevere. In addition, the veterans also took the new recruits' packaged weapons and carried them on their backs. For the new recruits who were unmovable, the two veterans were directly carrying them.
Lin Chuan has always paid great attention to the cultivation of internal cohesion of the army. I was very pleased to see these veterans able to do this. The new recruits were originally prisoners of war, but they did not integrate into this circle shortly after joining the Nanchuan Army. Now, facing the meticulous care of the veterans, I feel a warm current flowing through my heart. Although I am very tired, I grit my teeth and persevere. The new recruits and veterans are supporting and encouraging each other in this way, the original estrangement between the two sides has been gradually broken, and the friendship is further deepening.
Lin Chuan's troops specialize in walking in remote paths, because this not only prevents disturbing the towns along the way, but also allows Wang Jing to prepare, but also shorten the distance. He marched all night long until it was lightly dawn, and the soldiers of Nanchuan hid in a forest to rest.
Because Lin Chuan and his troops were hiding out at night and took small paths to advance, avoiding the villages and towns along the way, they were still not discovered until they arrived less than fifty miles away from Wangjing. Wang Jing didn't even know that another Nanchuan army with about 20,000 people had arrived and their eyes were low.
In a village fifty miles away from Wangjing, all the villagers were driven to several yards and taken care of them. In the houses in the village, the streets were covered with exhausted Nanchuan soldiers, who were sleeping soundly at this moment.
If it were not forcibly, in order to avoid the whereabouts of the army, Lin Chuan was unwilling to alarm these villagers. However, the closer their troops were to Wangjingcheng, the fewer places they could hide, and the flat wilderness could not hide more than 20,000 soldiers. So when they arrived here, they had to forcefully occupy a village to hide temporarily, delaying the exposure time, and then give Wangjingcheng a sudden attack.
"Dadada--" There was a sound of horse hooves outside the village, and several dynasty cavalry in red uniforms ran towards the village where Lin Chuan and the others were hiding.
The elite scouts ambushed outside the village were full of vigilance and had already rolled the crossbow arrows at the rushing cavalry. The soldiers who were ambushing in the grass also held the swords in their hands and were ready to attack at any time.
"It's your own person." The captain of the scout who was in charge of the alert waited until the cavalry approached and made a sound to everyone not act rashly, and stood up to meet him.
Soon, Feng Qingyang and other special forces soldiers who were responsible for reconnaissance returned to the village in detail and summarized the information they had investigated to Lin Chuan.
"We captured several local garrisons and learned from them that the troops of Zhenxi Army had not arrived in Wangjing City yet."
After hearing Feng Qingyang's words, Lin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He finally arrived at Wangjing City before the retreating troops of the West Army.
"The ones stationed in Wangjing are the 15th Banner Regiment of the Zhenxi Army and the 32nd Banner Regiment of the Imperial Guards. There are no other troops stationed there."
"Only two flag regiments?" After hearing Feng Qingyang's report, Lin Chuan looked disbelief. Until Feng Qingyang nodded and confirmed that it was correct, Lin Chuan really believed that there were only two flag regiments stationed in the huge Wangjing City.
"God really helps me!" Lin Chuan's face was filled with surprise. Now he has more than 20,000 people under his command. Although he only has about two flag regiments, the troops stationed in Wangjing have to defend against the wide defense zone, so they have the opportunity to take advantage of it.
In addition to the 15th Banner Regiment of the Zhenxi Army, the 32nd Banner Regiment of the Imperial Guards, they were only a piece of pieces of pieces. They used to be their own masters when the princes fought and killed them in large numbers. Now the troops of the 32nd Banner Regiment are only the sixth prince Long Qing who temporarily pieced together the broken troops, and their combat effectiveness is simply incomparable to the soldiers of the Nanchuan Army.
"Okay, then launch a night attack tonight!" Since there are not many guards in Wang Jingcheng, in order to avoid the long nights and dreams, Lin Chuan immediately decided to launch a surprise attack on Wang Jing that night.
In fact, Lin Chuan did not dare to delay for too long, because the troops of Zhenxi Army were retreating in the direction of Wang Jing, and the troops led by the nine prince Long Han behind them were chasing them. Therefore, their retreat speed would definitely be very fast. Therefore, Lin Chuan did not dare to delay for a minute or a second. If the troops of Zhenxi Army arrived in Wang Jing, then the 20,000 people would be made by the other party.
Because Wang Jing is still fifty miles away, in order to launch a surprise attack smoothly at night, Lin Chuan now didn't care about hiding his whereabouts, and directly pulled the troops out of the hiding village and quickly advanced towards Wang Jing City along the Provincial Avenue.
"Which unit are you from?" Seeing the army that suddenly appeared in front of you, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards set up on the provincial road were full of doubts, and they went forward to investigate according to the convention.
"We are from the 38th Banners Regiment of the Imperial Guards, and I am the leader of the flag regiment Qin Tian." Qin Tian took a team of cavalry to meet him first and handed his officer certificate to the leader of the Imperial Guards in Luka.
The head of the Imperial Guards whispered while looking through Qin Tian’s officer certificate: I haven’t heard that the 38th Banners Regiment is going to be transferred back.
Under Qin Tian's instructions, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards who followed Qin Tian's cavalry to look for Luka intentionally or unintentionally began to talk. After all, they belonged to the Imperial Guards, and these soldiers guarding in the rear were very interested in the war on the front line.
"Sir, we have not received any news of your troops returning to defense. Please rest here for a while. I will send someone to report to my officer for verification." The Hundred-Man Chief returned the officer certificate to Qin Tian and saluted.
"Oh, that's how it is, I don't think there is any trouble." Qin Tian slowly put his officer certificate into his arms and suddenly pulled out the sword on his waist.

Amid the terrified gaze of hundreds of people in the Imperial Guard, Qin Tian's sharp sword in his hand had already swung down, and a big head flew out, and the headless corpse rolled into the ditch beside the road. Just as Qin Tian took action, the rest of the cavalry raised the sword in his hands and killed the enemy closest to him.
"Quickly pass!" With Lin Chuan's order, more than 20,000 Nanchuan soldiers quickly advanced through this nameless Luka.
In Tas Town, the town closest to Wangjing, there are three thousand flag battalions of the Imperial Guards. When their commander got the news that a unit passed through their defense zone, when he hurriedly got up from the woman's belly to check, Lin Chuan's troops left him a stream of smoke and dust.
More than 20,000 Nanchuan soldiers led by Lin Chuan galloped at night and arrived in Wangjing City smoothly under the eyes of the troops garrison along the way.
As night fell, when Lin Chuan saw the towering walls of Wangjing City from afar, he felt deeply moved. The hundreds of thousands of prisoners were hit by the city and their heads were bloody. The battle was so dark that the sky and the earth were dark, the sun and the moon were gone, hundreds of thousands of Xingtu troops were bleeding from the city of Wangjing. When he set foot on this land again, the deaths and deaths of those companions who had fought together had long become the dust of history.
"Let's start an attack." Lin Chuan withdrew his thoughts and issued an order.
When the black Nanchuan soldiers appeared at the west gate of Wangjing City, the soldiers guarding the city wall thought they were confused. The black flag and fierce soldiers made their faces pale.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The shrill shouts penetrated the twilight of Wangjing City, and the guards of Wangjing City were in panic. (To be continued)
