Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 416 Situation Change
The morale of the reorganized Dynasty Army was high, and three large-scale battles took place within a week in Gyeonggi Province with the Zhenxi Army attacking eastward.

The first battle took place in the mountainous area in the north-central part of Gyeonggi Province, where there was the granary of Gyeonggi Province. The internal guards of the two banner regiments seized the granary according to the order of the Longhan Command. It consumes a lot, and the family can feel at ease when they have food in store.

The internal guards of the two banner regiments marched along the main road to the mountain town where the granary was located, but they encountered the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army [-] miles away from the town.

The approximately 3000 cavalry of the Zhenxi Army did not pay attention to the [-] internal guards at all, and charged directly at them.

Encountering enemy cavalry in an open area is undoubtedly a nightmare for the infantry. When they heard the thunderous cavalry rushing over, the inner guards of the two banner regiments who were marching were directly stunned. There was a burst of resistance, but the panicked soldiers had already been frightened by the Zhenxi Army, so they turned around and ran away.

"Whoever dares to take a step back will be killed without pardon!" Seeing that the army was about to collapse, the military discipline troops who had been moving with the army showed their role at this moment.

Jun Ke was originally a military judge of the Nanchuan Army, and now he has been transferred to the Internal Guard to serve as a military judge in the newly formed military discipline unit. It can be said that he is an old military judge.

Following his order, hundreds of military-disciplined soldiers showed their weapons in unison, aiming at the inner guard soldiers who were about to flee with their gleaming sabers and gleaming arrows.

Facing the steel knives of the disciplining soldiers, the retreating soldiers didn't believe that they would really attack their own people at first. Ignoring Junker's warning, more than a dozen rout soldiers clamored to retreat, facing the vigilance of the disciplined soldiers. line came.

"Kill—" Junker is an old military judge, knowing that extraordinary means are used in extraordinary times, so he gave the order to shoot without hesitation.

With the "swish" arrows shot out, more than a dozen rout soldiers were shot and killed on the spot in full view, and those rout soldiers were shocked immediately.

Under the scolding of the officers, the inner guard soldiers who were about to retreat and escape returned to their positions. When they finished forming, the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army had already killed them.

The inner guard soldiers formed their sharp spears into a forest of steel, aiming at the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army who were rushing forward.

The cavalry of the Zhenxi Army was careless, and many cavalry who rushed to the front were smashed into a sieve, and they cursed in anger.

However, the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army deserved to be the elite among the elite. After a series of attacks and the loss of hundreds of people, they finally rushed into the infantry ranks, ready to kill.

However, under the supervision of military discipline soldiers, the soldiers of these internal guards could only bite the bullet and fight with the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army. Although they suffered heavy losses, the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army could not defeat them.

In this way, the internal guards retreated while fighting, and retreated to the mountainous area in the central part. The mountain road was rugged, and the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army had no choice but to retreat.

Although this was just an encounter, the internal guards lost about [-] soldiers, but they were able to retreat to a safe area without collapsing under the attack of the cavalry, which was beyond the expectations of the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army. played a big role.

The second battle was much simpler. It was a cavalry battle. Five thousand Nanchuan cavalry and the same number of Zhenxi Army cavalry fought in the valley in the central region.

The battle was extremely fierce. The two sides fought from noon to the evening. The casualties on both sides reached an astonishing [-]%. They were forced to withdraw from the battlefield, but this battle taught the arrogant cavalry of the Zhenxi Army a severe lesson and hit their arrogance.

The third battle took place in a town fifty miles west of the White Tower, where a banner regiment under the Central Army was stationed, and the Zhenxi Army sent 1 people to attack the town.

According to the previous situation, basically the Zhenxi Army could capture this town without fighting, but this time they encountered stubborn resistance.

The Zhenxi army attacked the town from three sides and entered the town three times successively, but they were all driven out by the central army. All day long, reinforcements from the Nanchuan Army and the Internal Guard on both sides arrived.

The Zhenxi Army chose to retreat to avoid being encircled, but the fierce battle of the day still left them with thousands of corpses. In the rescue situation, Long Han's troops began to unite against the enemy.

After these three battles, Marshal Fang Rui of the Zhenxi Army keenly noticed the significant changes in the opposing Dynasty Army, and while shrinking his troops, he asked Wang Jing's sixth prince, Long Qing, for help.

After all, the Zhenxi Army now has only 20 troops on the battlefield in Gyeonggi Province, but the Dynasty Army they have to face has a huge force of 51 banner regiments. Especially after the reorganization, the Dynasty Army ended the chaotic command system , the various troops became compact and good at fighting.

In just one week, the trend of offense and defense changed. The Zhenxi Army began to defend the occupied area, waiting for follow-up troops, and the reorganized Dynasty Army began to continuously take the initiative to attack.

Now the Zhenxi Army has become the whetstone of the Dynasty Army, and battles are happening every day. The Dynasty Army troops who were afraid of the Zhenxi Army were getting more and more courageous when they saw the Zhenxi Army. In an important town, there is a serious shortage of troops, and the attack of the dynasty army can only be blocked step by step.

The small-scale battles have been honing the reorganized soldiers of the Dynasty Army. They have become brave and good at fighting from the initial greenness, and the cooperation between the teams has become increasingly tacit.

Facing the day and night attacks of the Dynasty Army, the Zhenxi Army was miserable. Now they can only defend some important towns, and most of the outer lines of defense have been abandoned.

Now the patrols dare not go too far out of the camp, for fear of encountering the attacking squad of the Dynasty Army. Most of these attacking teams of the Dynasty Army are composed of Nanchuan soldiers.

They lie in ambush in the forest, in the river, and hide among the people. They attack and kill the soldiers, patrols and officials of the Zhenxi Army alone. Gritting teeth but helpless.

Fortunately, after a week of torment, the 10 troops of the Third Army of the Zhenxi Army and the 10 Guards finally arrived at the front line belatedly.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the troops under the command of Marshal Fang Rui of the Zhenxi Army suddenly increased to 40, comparable to the Ninth Prince Long Han with 50 troops, so Fang Rui began to challenge Long Han.

In the Supreme Command of the Dynasty Army, the Ninth Prince Long Han and several senior generals gathered together for no other reason. After several weeks of fighting, the patience of both sides had been exhausted. Now the two sides are going to a decisive battle.

Zhenxi Army Marshal Fang Rui's battle letter on the decisive battle was placed directly on the table of Ninth Prince Long Han.

"Your Highness, our army is well-equipped now, and a decisive battle is a must." Marshal Lan Yu of the Central Army has long been looking forward to the decisive battle. The old man has been exhausted from years of fighting, and he is eager to end the battle as soon as possible.

Marshal Lin Nuoyan of the Nanchuan Army also agreed with Lan Yu's proposal: "Although the Zhenxi Army is powerful, our army has [-] more troops than them. Our army will surely win!"

"We agree to a decisive battle—" the chiefs of staff raised their hands one after another.

"Defeat the Zhenxi army and move into the imperial city!" The nobles were looking forward to the reward after victory.

"Then let's fight!" Ninth Prince Long Han saw that his subordinates were in favor of the decisive battle, and after careful consideration, he was ready to accept the challenge issued by the Zhenxi Army.
