Chapter 183 Rescue!
In the central part of Jiuyuan Province, the small town of Dex, the dark clouds are connected to the earth. The sky is like a hole being poked. Heavy rain pours down from the sky, and the sky and the earth are like a layer of gauze, which is indescribable.
The rain on the eaves formed a line, and the streets and a small river. The Nanchuan Army Central Road troops that had just occupied this place had just entered here. Infantry soldiers and cavalry soldiers were mixed together on the muddy streets, with people and horses neighing, and the commanders of each unit shouted loudly the names of their troops.
The soldiers who maintained order stood in the rain and shouted loudly, splashed with mud all over. The town of Dex was filled with Nanchuan soldiers, tens of thousands of people crowded together, and the sudden heavy rain exacerbated the chaos.
Lin Chuan's black cloak kept dripping downwards. He stood under the eaves and looked at the chaotic town and shouted loudly to Xiao Zhan behind him: "Xiao Zhan, this is not enough. The soldiers must settle down as soon as possible. If they are wet like this in the rain, they will get sick."
Xiao Zhan said loudly with a bitter face: "General, our First Flag Regiment and the cavalry have all come in. In order to hide from the rain, the system is in chaos. The gate of the town has been blocked by the carts of the baggage battalion..."
Lin Chuan shouted: "Let all the people in the baggage camp come in, and you must not let the food be wet by the rain. Other troops went to camp outside the town. The town is too small and so many people cannot be stationed."
"Let them follow the flag!"
"Yes, General!"
In the chaotic rain curtain, the troops had lost their organization in order to avoid heavy rain, and the cavalry came in aggravated the crowding of the town.
"All troops camp outside the town! All troops camp outside the town!" The messengers shouted.
"Follow the flag! Go camp outside the town!"
The military soldiers with red armbands stood in the center of the street, raised the black battle flag, and the infantry soldiers hiding from the rain under the eaves had to enter the rain again, stood under the battle flag, and followed the military soldiers to walk outside the town.
In the current chaotic situation, Lin Chuan could only let all troops retreat outside the town first, and then restore the establishment. The town was too narrow, and people were shouting and neighing everywhere. Letting them return to the establishment now will only make the situation even more chaotic.
Lin Chuan ordered Xiao Zhan: "Send a flag camp to the intersection in front to camp and serve as a warning."
Xiao Zhan replied and entered the rain curtain and disappeared soon.
With the guidance of the military soldiers, the Nanchuan Middle Route Army troops, which were crowded in the town of Dex, began to slowly restore order.
Lin Chuan wiped the rain on his face and walked to a small tavern next to the street. The owner of the tavern had already fled, so it had been temporarily requisitioned and became the temporary command center of the Central Army. The corps staff were taking the documents in the wooden boxes outwards, and the map had been wet with the rain.
Lin Chuan took off the black cloak that could have been wrung out of water, wrung the water dry and hung it next to the window, approached Li Yunshan, the chief of staff who was wiping the map with a dry cloth and said, "Can the map still work?"
Li Yunshan carefully wiped it and said, "If you soak it in the rain for a while, it won't work."
After all, the Nanchuan Army is not a wealthy dynasty army, and there is very little in the army. Even this military map with not very accurate accuracy was captured by the Governor of Jiuyuan Province last time.
"Is there still no news about the Second Flag Group?" Lin Chuan asked.
Li Yunshan replied: "The latest news is three days ago. They have captured Kolo City, which is only one day away from Jiuyuan City, the capital of the province."
Lin Chuan bent down and found a small black dot representing Koro City on the simple map. When Ye Fei's second flag group's arrow came here, there was no news.
Lin Chuan's brows frowned deeply. Before the division of the troops, Lin Chuan had already agreed with Ye Fei and Feng Qingyang that a team of liaison soldiers must be sent every half day to maintain contact, but three days have passed, and the Second Flag Regiment seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. The liaison officer sent out was also in a state of great trouble, and there was no news.
Something must have happened. As an experienced commander, Lin Chuan already had a bad premonition.
"Is there anything unusual about the dynasty army right in front of us?" Lin Chuan asked with a look.
"It's still the same as before, it's about to collapse."
"Continue to contact the second flag **** liaison officer, and send additional scouts to investigate the situation, and at the same time issue orders to Feng Qingyang's third flag regiment to get them closer to us. We will repair our saxophone for two days." Lin Chuan issued a series of orders.
It has been so smooth since the dispatch of troops. For more than a week, I have not encountered decent resistance from the dynasty army. All the dynasty army is about to collapse, and the towns where Lin Chuan and the others arrived were empty.
At the beginning, Lin Chuan thought that the main force of the dynasty army in Jiuyuan Province was destroyed by his previous life, so this situation occurred. However, as he went deeper into the hinterland of the province, Lin Chuan felt something was wrong, especially after the Second Flag Regiment lost contact, the feeling became stronger.
Although Lin Chuan sent a large number of scouts to investigate the news and captured many prisoners of the dynasty army, everything showed normality. For the young commander, a severe test was waiting for him.
In the evening, a soaked cavalry rushed into the town of Dex, and the cavalry shouted loudly in the rain: "Where is the Corps Command?"
Soon, the exhausted cavalry were taken to the temporary command of the Corps in a tavern next to the street.
"General, please save our Third Flag Regiment..." After seeing Lin Chuan, the cavalry hurriedly fell to the ground. Lin Chuan then found a black arrow inserted in the back of the cavalry.
Lin Chuan hurriedly helped the cavalry up and said, "Soldier, tell me what happened?"
"General, our third flag regiment is surrounded in Chishui Beach. Please save our flag regiment, please."
"Have you seen clearly the banner of surrounding your enemy?"
"It's a dynasty soldier, cavalry and infantry, and it's all over the mountains and fields. When we cross the river, we rushed out all of a sudden."
"The dynasty car retreated step by step, how could it appear in Chishui Beach?" The generals around him showed confusion on their faces.
Only Lin Chuan stood up with a heavy expression, "That's because we were fooled. The enemy arranged a big trap for us, and we jumped in without any warning." Lin Chuan was filled with self-blame. When he heard about the situation of the Third Banner Regiment, Lin Chuan had already guessed that the Second Banner Regiment might also be surrounded.
Lin Chuan walked to the chief station and said aloud to the surrounding generals: "Order all troops to assemble immediately and retreat! The cavalry flag regiment is ready, and set off in ten minutes. We will go to rescue the brothers of the third flag regiment."
Li Yunshan stepped forward and said, "General, the Third Banner Regiment has 10,000 soldiers. Since the dynasty army can surround them, the strength will not be less than 30,000. It is too dangerous for you to do this."
Lin Chuan held Lin Yunshan and said, "The Second Flag Regiment is too far away and can't take care of it, but the Third Flag Regiment must be saved. They want to eat one of my flag Regiments. Humph, I also want to let the Chao army break their teeth." A sharp murderous aura flashed through Lin Chuan's eyes.
