Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 19 The Return of the Sith
Although there is no danger to defend the eastern plains, there are not many time and options left for the Ninth Corps.

Whether it is going north or south, it goes deep into the hinterland of the dynasty. Let alone the powerful regular troops of the dynasty, those local garrison troops are enough to sink the Ninth Corps into a quagmire.

"My lord, our First Banner Regiment will stay behind to stop the enemy. You should evacuate from the eastern passage."

Lin Chuan stood up with a serious face and volunteered.

Everyone knows at this moment that it is very dangerous to stay. Facing the elite dynasty army, they have no choice but to die in battle.

Caton shook his head and refused, "No, we have to evacuate together. I can't leave you to die. At worst, I will fight the Dynasty Army."

Since this period of time, Lin Chuan has taken the lead in every battle and is full of strategy. Carton admires the brave and strategic Lin Chuan, and he doesn't want to lose such a talented young man.

Lin Chuan insisted: "My lord, our Ninth Corps is currently the best-preserved organizational system. It is the seed of our Xingtu Army. You have the responsibility to lead the brothers away."

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Caton let out a long sigh. He didn't expect that the mighty Xing Tujun would come down to such a point in just a few weeks.

"Besides, our First Banner Regiment is so powerful that we might be able to escape from the encirclement of the Dynasty Army." Lin Chuan added.

Everyone knows that it is almost impossible to break out of the siege of the dynasty's army, and this is a plain that can be defended by five dangers.

Seeing that Caton was still hesitating, Lin Chuan asked again, "My lord, make a decision. If you don't withdraw, it will be too late. Let's leave some seeds for the Xingtu army. Leave us to stop the enemy. Our First Banner Regiment will definitely not disgrace you." Xing Tu is famous for fighting the banner!"

Caton raised his head slowly, looked at the stern-faced young officer, and nodded helplessly, "Okay, but I order you to live. We will wait for you in Qinghe Province for three days."

After Carton finished speaking, he borrowed the saber at his waist, handed it to Lin Chuan, sighed, and strode out.

"My good brother, you must come to see us alive." Gang Yu lightly slammed Lin Chuan's chest with his fist, and told him reluctantly.

Mu Xue walked up to Lin Chuan, raised his head, revealed his pale face, stared at Lin Chuan with coquettish eyes, and said word by word, "Brother Lin Chuan, I, Mu Xue, have never admired anyone, you Be the first one, remember to come back alive." After speaking, he took a big stride and followed Caton away.

"Let's go!" Lin Chuan waved his hands, he didn't want to face such a separation scene.

Soon, under the leadership of Caton, the [-] Xingtu soldiers of the Ninth Corps left the town and evacuated towards the east, leaving Lin Chuan's First Banner Regiment to face the crushing enemies alone.

Originally, Lin Chuan wanted Liu Zichen and Shire to evacuate together, but they refused to leave anyway, and finally Lin Chuan gave up.

Lin Chuan set up the headquarters of the Banner Regiment directly on the bottom of a slope in the small town, which is condescending and overlooks the whole town.

As the order was issued, teams of Xingtu soldiers went to their respective positions, and the atmosphere of the whole town became dignified.

The scout centurion led by Ye Fei was sent out by Lin Chuan to investigate the enemy's situation in the south, north and west.

Xiao Zhan was busy preparing for defense, because he didn't know how many enemies he would face, so he had to prepare for the worst.

All the people are busy, moving weapons and equipment, checking food and water, and consolidating the outer trenches...

Lin Chuan stood on the bottom of the town's slope, overlooking the whole town. Before the enemy came, the town had rare peace before the war, and Lin Chuan had a rare rest.

In the evening, Ye Fei's scouts brought back news.

In the north of the town, about a cavalry unit of a flag regiment is rushing forward. Judging from the flag, it should be the garrison of Gyeonggi Province.

To the west, the imperial army's infantry units were divided into several groups, each of which ranged from one to two banner regiments, and were advancing in a fan shape. However, they were moving slowly, and they would not reach the town until about noon tomorrow.

According to the enemy's situation, Lin Chuan quickly made defensive adjustments. Obviously, the cavalry troops from Gyeonggi Province should arrive first.

All the things that can be used as obstacles have been moved to the road by the Xingtu warriors. On the outskirts of the town, countless horse traps are being dug intensively.

After all the preparations were completed, the Xingtu soldiers hid behind the parapet to rest, conserving their strength, and the sky was gradually darkening at this moment.

But Lin Chuan didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and the sentry sent out several miles.

In the headquarters, Lin Chuan stared at the crude map, thinking about the way to retreat.

Lin Chuan's willingness to stay behind to block the enemy was not because of a momentary ecstasy, but after deliberate consideration.

As Caton took control of the Ninth Corps, although the strength has been enhanced, the target has become bigger and the danger has also increased. Like a magnet, it attracts all kinds of pursuers.

If he continues to stay under Caton's command, he will face greater danger. Moreover, Lin Chuan is not Caton's confidant, but Lin Nuoyan's. After some consideration, Lin Chuan decided to leave Caton while staying to block the enemy. Commander, go find Lin Nuoyan.

Therefore, Lin Chuan did not put his First Banner Regiment to death, but considered the way out, that is, to the south. The current dynasty forces in the south are relatively weak and suitable for breaking through.

"My lord, there is a situation!" Xiao Zhan opened the tent and walked in.

Lin Chuan withdrew his thoughts, stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Zhan: "A large number of unidentified people have been found in the west."

"Go and have a look."

Lin Chuan walked out of the tent first, and now Lin Chuan did not dare to be careless in the slightest, as he was shouldering the lives of thousands of people.

At this moment, in the wilderness under nightfall, a large number of ragged people are rushing towards the small town.

"Get ready to fight!" Lin Chuan drew out the saber from his waist, staring at the people who were getting closer, and said in a deep voice.

The Xingtu soldiers behind the parapet all held their weapons tightly and stared at the unknown person.

Perhaps they also saw the unusual quietness of the town. They stopped hundreds of meters away from the town, stared at the town vigilantly, and stopped moving forward.

In the darkness, they couldn't see clearly who was in the small town.

"Which part is the brother on the opposite side?" In the night, the person who came asked loudly.

Lin Chuan signaled, and Xiao Zhan raised his voice to answer: "The Ninth Corps of the Xingtu Army, who are you?"

Hearing Xiao Zhan's answer, the visitor murmured excitedly, and hurriedly replied: "We are also the Xing Tu army, who retreated from Wang Jing, and there are imperial court chasing troops behind us, please get out of the way and let us evacuate. "

Lin Chuan sent out to check the authenticity, and after a while, the people sent out reported that these people were indeed retreating soldiers who were chased all the way here.

Since there was no danger, Lin Chuan let Xiao Zhan open the way and let them pass.

There are thousands of people in this group, and they are in a state of embarrassment at the moment, their armor is torn, like beggars, and the leader is a banner commander, who belongs to the Sixth Corps.

"Brothers, hurry up and withdraw, there are a large number of imperial troops chasing after you." The head of the banner asked Lin Chuan for some food and suggested.

Lin Chuan rejected his offer, and after replenishing dry food from Lin Chuan's department, these Xingtu soldiers withdrew to the east again, but Lin Chuan did not stop them.

"My lord, why didn't you annex them?" After seeing Lin Chuan, Sith, who had escaped with the Xing disciples, was very happy, returned to Lin Chuan's command, and did not leave. At this moment, he asked Lin Chuan puzzledly.

Lin Chuan shook his head with a smile, "These people belong to different regiments, and it would be a burden to annex them."

Sith had lost contact with Lin Chuan after the Battle of Wang Jing. He was very happy to see Lin Chuan again at this moment, but there was still no news about Jiang Mingyue and others.
