"Send scouts, I need to know what happened on the other side." Xing Tu Army Command, Lin Nuoyan was ordering the adjutant Roben.

When Lin Chuan and Xia Ge walked into the command center, they were passing by Roben who was going out to execute the order. Lin Chuan nodded slightly to him, saying hello.

Robben is an old man from Xing Tujun and has been working hard to be Lin Nuoyan's adjutant. Lin Chuan knew that Robben still has real talents and knowledge.

The command center seemed a little busy because the Chao army stopped attacking abnormally. The officers were discussing this abnormal phenomenon. Is the Chao army planning any conspiracy?

On the huge military map, two huge arrows, one red and one black, confronted each other across the Sanggan River, which was the main battlefield between the Xingtu army and the Dynasty army.

"You are here--" Lin Nuoyan, who was so busy, saw Lin Chuan and Xia Ge, and raised his head from the map.

"Have you met the Grand Marshal"

"Have you met Uncle Lin"

Xia Ge and Lin Chuan both feet and punched their chest with their right fists, giving Lin Nuoyan a standard military salute.

Lin Nuoyan greeted them and walked closer: "Come and see if the Chaojun wants to copy our retreat again?"

On the smaller map, it is more delicate, with dense red and black arrows intertwined, which is the smaller battle between the Dynasty army and the Xingtu army in various places in Nanchuan Province.

In addition to the main battlefield of Sanggan River, there are more than ten places where the dynasty local garrison troops and the Xingtu army are fighting. After all, the Xingtu army is surrounded by the territory of the dynasty, and the Xingtu army has to defend everywhere.

Lin Chuan saw the map and said, "According to the scout's observations over the past few days, the main force of the dynasty army on the other side has not left. I think the possibility of tracing our back path is very low."

Xia Ge fell into deep thought: "Will a new dynasty army join?"

Lin Nuoyan nodded: "It is very likely that I have sent a scout, and I think there will be rewards soon."

About two hours later, the scout sent back to the camp and reported the latest situation to Lin Nuoyan.

"What? A team of cavalry left the dynasty military camp in the morning?" Hearing the scout's words, Lin Nuoyan was attracted by this abnormal little thing.

Lin Nuoyan continued to ask: "How many people are about? What are the flags?"

The scout replied: "About 300 people, five carriages, carrying dragon flags..."

"Okay, you go down and have a rest."

The scouts saluted a military salute and left.

Faced with this abnormal behavior, Lin Chuan and others were confused because they could not tell who was leaving.

However, with the subsequent information gathering one after another, they came to a shocking conclusion, that is, Lan Yu, the commander of the dynasty army on the opposite side, was taken away by officials from Wang Jing, so the dynasty army on the other side stopped the attack.

However, Lin Chuan immediately became worried about Lan Yu again, but it was useless to worry now. After all, they were still hostile to each other.

"Master, the dynasty army has begun to gather again-" Sith strode into the command center.

Lin Chuan fell into deep thought. Did he just make a mistake in his judgment?

However, the generals come to block the water and the soil. Since the opponent attacks, just fight back.

At the Sanggan River defense line, the war stopped for less than half a day and the war began again with the attack of the Dynasty army.

However, this time Lin Chuan and the others also discovered the abnormality of the Dynasty army, which was that it seemed that the Dynasty army did not have the previous momentum of being brave and fearless attack, but instead seemed to be doing it.

Xia Ge and Lin Chuan looked at each other and saw that the dynasty army was unable to succeed in the attack.

The fierce battle lasted for the whole afternoon, but compared with the intensity of the previous few days, it was like a child player's home. No one died in battle in the afternoon. The Dynasty army's offensive seemed fierce, but it was powerless one after another and quickly retreated.

At night, Xing Tujun passed through multiple scouts to inquire and finally figured out what happened in the dynasty military camp opposite.

When all the generals learned that the dynasty army opposite had no commander, they all showed excitement on their faces.

"Master, let's cross the river and defeat them in one fell swoop!" The hot-headed officer asked for the fight excitedly.

"Yes, while they don't have a coach, kill them and avenge their dead brothers!"

…………

Compared with the fanaticism of the low-level officers, senior officers such as Lin Chuan and Xia Ge were much calmer, standing there solemnly, and didn't know what they were thinking.

Lin Nuoyan nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Lin Chuan and the others had not lost their minds.

"Chuan'er, tell me, can we cross the river?"

Lin Chuan saw Lin Nuoyan pointing out his name and went out to the crowd: "Master, I personally think we shouldn't cross the river."

Hearing Lin Chuan's words, the generals immediately sighed with dissatisfaction. In their eyes, this was a manifestation of fear of fighting.

Lin Nuoyan ignored the short-sighted low-level officers and said to Lin Chuan: "You continue."

Lin Chuan bowed his body and continued, "Although the enemy's commander is not in the army now, their strength has not decreased, and none of the generals in their army have left. Although their morale is low now, I don't think we have the advantage to defeat them. Secondly, the water level of the Sanggan River has soared and we have no ferry, which is also one of the difficulties."

"What's your reason? You're obviously afraid of being beaten by them-" An officer retorted loudly.

Lin Chuan turned his head and looked at the officer who was refuting, and smiled: "I remember that the troops in the previous few **** were chased by the Dynasty army and ran all over the mountains. Is it the one I can relieve you?"

The officer who was asked had a blue and white face, and he sat down awkwardly, causing laughter from the generals.

"Okay, Xia Ge, what about your opinion." Lin Nuoyan turned to ask Xia Ge. After all, Xia Ge is also the main general of Xing Tu's army now.

Xia Ge stood up and replied: "My Lin Chuan agrees. We have suffered a lot of losses in front of us. We need to rest and replenish the troops."

Lin Nuoyan nodded and finally decided to use the Sanggan River as the line to establish a defense line and confront the Dynasty army.

After several weeks of fierce fighting, Xing Tu's army suffered a great loss. Now it is less than 40,000 people, and many of them are temporarily recruited to recharge their numbers, so their combat power is not strong now.

And there is another important thing: Xing Tujun's materials and equipment have been almost exhausted and he no longer has the ability to organize a war. Now Xing Tujun is at the end of his strength and urgently needs rest.

He used to fight with the dynasty army with his strong will, but now he is unable to launch an attack at all. It would be great if he could defend his existing territory.

The meeting lasted until midnight, and finally decided to lead 30,000 Xingtu troops to guard the Sanggan River defense line, and the rest of the troops retreated to Mucheng for rest.

After a long fierce battle, the soldiers urgently needed a rest. Now they have passed the most dangerous stage. The Xing Tu army has gained a firm foothold in Mucheng. As long as they devote themselves to development for a few years, the Xing Tu army will become a powerful army again.

As the order was issued, except for the troops guarding the defense line, the rest of the troops began to retreat to Mucheng one after another, and Lin Chuan's First Corps was also retreating.
