Chapter 84 Going to the Front Line
In July, the Sanggan River flows vast and majestic. The vast river water descends from the Daqing Glacier, crosses the mountain canyon, flows eastward, crosses more than ten provinces along the way, and finally merges into the endless sea.
The water flow of the Sanggan River in Nanchuan Province has become stable, with a vast wave of smoke on the river surface that is dozens of meters wide, and the grass on both sides is growing and the birds are flying with vitality.
On the north bank of the Sanggan River, the Xingtu army led by Xia Ge has established a defense line. Countless deep trenches are filled with river water, like curved snakes covering the plains on the north bank. The Xingtu army has few cavalry, which is an obstacle to the cavalry of the dynasty.
The fence wall built along the banks of the Sanggan River stretched for more than ten miles. These more than ten miles were all shallower places. The Xingtu army stationed heavily behind the wall to prevent the dynasty army from breaking through.
The Sanggan River is a natural barrier that hinders the Dynasty army from heading north to attack the Xingtu army. Only when the Sanggan River blocks the Dynasty army, then Mucheng will be safe.
If the dynasty army cannot stop the conquest of the dynasty army, then hundreds of miles north will be without any danger. Compared with the Xing Tu army, which is still weak, there will undoubtedly be a danger of destruction.
Therefore, the Sanggan River defense line is related to the life and death of Xing Tujun, and the general Lin Nuoyan and the consul Katun attach great importance to it.
Originally, the 20,000 Xingtu army led by Xia Ge was stationed here, but as the dynasty army gathered, from the direction of Mucheng, soldiers and horses headed to the Sanggan River defense line every day to strengthen defense.
The north bank of Sanggan River has become a large construction site. Countless trenches have been excavated and countless fences have been erected. In just a few days, 100,000 Xingtu troops have gathered on the north bank, and the number of people continues to increase. People shouted and neighed, and the barracks are crowded, lively and noisy.
Lin Chuan arrived at the camp on the north bank of the Sanggan River two days ago. Most of the 10,000 Xingtu soldiers in his army were strong and brave mountain soldiers. Although Lin Chuan is now only a flag regiment commander, no one under his command dares to underestimate him.
The Xing Tu Army recruited and surrendered various armed forces, and its strength increased to 150,000 in a short period of time. It seemed to be strong, but the competition among the generals who surrendered within the country for various resources has reached a fierce point.
If it weren't for the suppression of Lin Nuoyan, the Xing Tu Army might have fought within it, because the various rebels were not in the first place, and now they are all gathered under the Xing Tu Army, with various conflicts constantly.
Now the dynasty army gathers in the north to attack. Under strong external pressure, although the factions within the Xingtu army temporarily stopped fighting, they still kept making small moves, which made Lin Nuoyan very troubled.
Lin Chuan, who is a local division of Xingtu Army, is very disgusted with these newly surrendered generals. He cannot fight for power and profit, but he is a top-notch player.
However, in order to win over them, Lin Nuoyan, ten of the fifteen flag regiment commanders were all generals of the rebel army, while only five flag regiment commanders from Xing Tu Army were born, which made Lin Chuan feel very frustrated.
In the military tent, Lin Chuan was pondering in the simple map and pondering hard. He frowned and his face was solemn.
This time, the Dynasty army assembled more than 200,000 troops, 100,000 main forces of the Central Army and 100,000 local garrisons. The troops marched northward and pointed directly to Mucheng, which was enough to show their determination to exterminate the Xing Tu army in one fell swoop.
Compared with the powerful dynasty army, the Xingtu army not only had half of the dynasty army, but also had very shortage of weapons and equipment. The newly surrendered rebels were also wearing colorful uniforms, and the Xingtu army could no longer send out a decent military uniform.
Military uniforms and other things are trivial matters. What worried Lin Chuan the most was the contradictions within the Xing Tu army and the combat power of the surrendered rebel army. Although Xing Tu army claimed to be 150,000, there were less than 15,000 real Xing Tu soldiers. The rest [31 Novel Network
"Report!" Tu Yue's loud voice came from outside the military tent.
Lin Chuan raised his head from the map: "Come in."
Tu Yue is now Lin Chuan's deputy and deputy chief of the banner. After all, most of the entire banner regiment are mountain soldiers. With Tu Yue, the former mountain leader, it is also convenient to assist Lin Chuan in command.
Tu Yue was wearing a majestic black armor and her combat boots whirling on the ground. He lifted the military tent and walked in.
Tu Yue walked to Lin Chuan and saluted Lin Chuan.
"You are only half a level away from me, so don't salute the soldiers, so as not to make fun of the soldiers." Lin Chuan stood up and said.
Tu Yue smiled and said, "Hehe, your position is higher than mine, so it is appropriate to salute."
Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly. Tu Yue was always irritable and impulsive at the beginning. He educated him several times, and now he has a little bit of awe for himself.
Lin Chuan raised his head and asked, "My brother, but is there news in Ross Town?"
Tu Yue nodded, sighed and handed a document to Lin Chuan and said, "The scout just returned. Ross Town has been captured by the dynasty army. None of the 19th Banners were spared, including hundreds of people in Ross Town--"
Lin Chuan's face suddenly became extremely ugly when he heard Tu Yue's words. His fists tightly usurped him and cursed: "Damn it!"
Lin Chuan did not expect that the dynasty army would be so cruel that it did not leave a living mouth. More importantly, even the people could not escape.
"Do you know that the dynasty army did it?" Lin Chuan's eyes were full of anger.
Tu Yue: "It seems that he is the First Corps of the Central Army, an elite force of the Dynasty army. He is stationed on the Storm Plain for many years and has strong combat power."
Lin Chuan's iron fist slammed the table and said angrily: "Don't let us touch it, otherwise they will be bloody!"
The First Corps of the Central Army reorganized 30,000 people, all under his command were children of the nobles of Wang Jing. They were called the cradle of officers. They once killed the rebellious tribes in the Storm Plain and bloodied them, establishing the reputation of the First Corps in one fell swoop.
This time, the dynasty concentrated its troops to encircle and suppress the Xing Tu army. As the strongest combat power under the Central Army Marshal Lan Yu, the First Corps was transferred from the Storm Plain to the Sanggan River front line in order to annihilate the Xing Tu army in one fell swoop.
In addition to the First Corps, the Central Army's cavalry corps also went to the front line, which was also a sharp sword of the Central Army.
In addition, troops led by generals such as Haotian are also powerful in combat power. Faced with the elite and powerful dynasty army, Xing Tu's army is under great pressure.
The news of the demise of the 19th Banner of Ros Town quickly spread throughout the Xingtu Army Camp in Sanggan River, adding a bit of solemnity to the already tense atmosphere.
There is no doubt that the enemy's strength is strong. Whether it can block the attacking pace of the Dynasty army in the Sanggan River is related to the life and death of Xing Tu's army, so every general has a serious expression.
