Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 748
On the provincial highway in the mountainous area of ​​Eastern Canada, the army with flags and banners all the way is advancing westward. The heavy rain is pouring, and the road is full of continuous and winding teams crowded on the mountainous road and moving forward with difficulty.

They are troops belonging to the No.11 Brigade of the Hanhai, and they were ordered to reinforce the Hanhai Garrison in the Teutonic Province, but their actions became slow due to heavy rain and road attacks.

The team became slower and slower, and finally stopped. The head of the No.11 brigade took off his blue cloak, put his hands on the front of the team, and told the soldiers: "Go ahead and see what's going on! What's going on? Not leaving!?"

After receiving the order, the soldiers hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and rushed forward. After walking for about four to five minutes, he saw a grain truck stuck in a mud pit blocking the road.

Seeing the grain truck stuck in the mud pit, the soldiers ordered loudly: "Push it down the cliff, don't block the march!"

"Sir, this is food. If we push it down the cliff, we will starve..." A centurion commander of the servant army who was in charge of escorting the food truck saw the badge on the chest of the guard and hurried over to explain.

The soldier kicked the centurion into the muddy water: "You are impatient, aren't you! If it affects the march, you will have a few heads chopped off!"

The centurion of the servant army obediently climbed up from the muddy water, and had to shout at the soldiers escorting the grain truck: "Push down the cliff!"

"One-two push! One-two push!" The grain cart was full of grain, and the people who escorted the grain cart couldn't push the cart stuck in the mud pit.

The soldier shouted impatiently to the soldiers behind him: "Go and help!"

More than a dozen Hanhai soldiers rushed forward, and together with the servant soldiers pushed the cart full of grain to the bottom of the cliff, the road was cleared, and the army continued to move forward.

But the mountain road was full of potholes and it rained heavily, and from time to time, the mountain collapsed and buried the road, forcing the troops of Hanhai No.11 Brigade to move very slowly in this mountain area, and everyone was extremely irritable.

In the mountains on one side of the mountain road, another force is advancing rapidly in the opposite direction of the Hanhai No.11 Brigade.

Compared with the Hanhai No.11 Brigade walking on the provincial highway, in order to avoid early exposure of the target, the Nanchuan Army troops in charge of interspersed were completely crossing mountains and mountains. The figure is still advancing rapidly.

Whether it is a recruit training camp for the Nanchuan Army or after they are assigned to the troops, the training subjects include cross-country in the mountains and forests, marching in the dark, etc. Therefore, they almost all crossed the mountains in this interspersed operation.

According to the order of the Far East Theater, the various departments of the Nanchuan Army who rushed to the Far East to participate in the war advanced rapidly and interspersed according to their respective goals. Their goal was to encircle and annihilate all the Han Navy in several provinces.

The 80th Banners Battalion, which belongs to the No.11 Second Banners Regiment of the Warhammer Legion, is advancing rapidly in the opposite direction in the mountains not far from the Hanhai No.[-] Brigade.

They, the Five Banners Battalion, have now become a separate combat unit. They have lost contact with the Banner Regiment. The order they received in the Teutonic Province was to intersperse to the Noma Town in the Kadong Province, capture there and cut off the Hanhai people. retreat.

When they set off from the Teutonic province, an officer of the theater operations department asked them to march lightly, so they took off all their battle armor, just wore black military uniforms, and threw away all the bits and pieces on their bodies, except for dry food and weapons. .

They have been rushing along the mountains next to the provincial road for five or six days, and they have encountered many towns along the way, but the town of Noma is still far away, so they can only go forward.

"Sir, there is a vast sea army at the foot of the mountain." Banner Battalion Commander Zheng Hu hurried forward panting, suddenly a soldier pointed to the provincial road below the mountain and whispered.

Through the gaps in the woods, Zheng Hu saw a large number of enemy troops on the road below the mountain heading towards the Teutonic province. Looking at their blue armor and blue flags, they were the vast sea army.

"Tell everyone, keep your movements quiet and don't let it out—" Zheng Hu ordered to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers behind passed on Zheng Hu's orders one by one, but they were still several miles away from the Hanhai army on the provincial road down the mountain, and the Hanhai people didn't believe that there would be an army on the strange rocky mountain at all. Traveling in weaves, so didn't spot them at all.

The troops of the [-] Banners Battalion led by Zheng Hu passed the Hanhai army without any risk, and went straight to Noma Town in Kadong Province. They encountered a town in the evening, and they finally stopped. .

After rushing in the mountains for five or six days, only 3000 of the more than 2000 fighters in their banner battalion were left, and about a few hundred people were left behind.

More than 2000 exhausted Nanchuan soldiers lay like mud in the wet mountain forest and fell asleep. They were so tired that they marched day and night and had no more than five hours of rest every day.

Such high-intensity interspersed even if they have been trained and have a strong physique, they can’t bear it. Many soldiers’ feet are full of blisters. They traveled from the Qinghe Province in the hinterland of the dynasty to the Kadong Province in the central part of the Far East in just two months. , One did not stop, and the soldiers had reached the end of their strength.

What is more important than exhaustion is that they have run out of food in the One Hundred and One Five Banners Battalion. When they set off, they asked to travel lightly, so they threw all the pots and pans they brought in the Teutonic Province, and only brought them to eat immediately They bought pancakes and jerky, but after five or six days, they didn’t get any supplies. At this moment, they have been out of food for a day, and their physical strength has dropped severely.

The soldiers were tired and hungry and fell asleep, but Zheng Hu, the banner battalion commander, couldn't rest. They were ordered to go to Nuoma Town before May [-]rd, and there was only one day left, and they didn't know that Nuoma Where is Ma Town?

Zheng Hu took out a simple marching map from his arms and spread it on the ground, and the Chief of Staff and Sergeant Chief put their heads together.

"According to our marching speed, the town ahead should be Nuoma Town." Zheng Husi raised his bloodshot eyes and said after a while.

The sergeant major nodded and said, "I'll take someone to check it out later. If not, let's move on."

"That's the only way to go now."

The sergeant major quickly ran down the mountain with a scouting team of ten men, and headed straight for the town standing beside the provincial road, but this place was already deep into the control area of ​​the Hanhai people, and they were very careful.

The town next to the provincial highway is not big, with only about 100 households. It is surrounded by cliffs on one side and mountains on the other. The provincial highway passes through the center of the town.

The town stood quietly in the twilight, and there were no Hanhai people's sentry posts. The sergeant major led ten scout soldiers holding short knives against the corner of the wall and touched in.

When he arrived at the first courtyard, the sergeant major pointed to the courtyard behind the scout soldiers. The soldiers behind him understood, and immediately built a ladder, and a scout soldier turned over and jumped into the courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard was quickly opened from the inside. They quickly rushed into the courtyard and closed the door again. At this moment, several staggering soldiers of the Hanhai servant army appeared at the corner of the street cursing.

Faced with more than a dozen sturdy black-clothed soldiers who suddenly broke into his home, several people in the room turned pale with fright, and started to scream, but they were quickly restrained by the soldiers.

"If anyone makes a sound, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The sergeant major had a sullen face, threatening several terrified civilians with a sharp short knife in his hand.

Several terrified civilians nodded hastily, fearing that this ferocious soldier would kill them.

"Now I ask a question and you answer one. If anyone tells a lie, I will cut off his tongue!" The sergeant major threatened.

"First question, what is the name of this town?"

An old man couldn't wait to answer: "Noma Town, Norma Town."

The sergeant major nodded: "How many garrisons are there?"

"There are more than 30 people, all of whom are the dogs of the Hanhai people."

"Where are they stationed?"

……

A few minutes later, the sergeant stood up again. He had figured out the situation clearly. It seemed that there were not many enemies in this Nuoma town, and the Hanhai people didn't pay much attention to it.

After the sergeant major summoned a scout and whispered something, the scout soldier immediately turned around and left the house, preparing to report the situation to the banner battalion commander hiding in the mountains, while the sergeant major was preparing to take over the old den of the defenders.
