In April 1983, under the massive counterattack of the Dynasty army, the units of Lin Chuan's First Corps had retreated to the bank of the Jiuqu River.

On the Jiuquhe front, the Nanchuan army stabilized its retreat and began to establish a line of defense to block the pursuers. The trenches dug overnight set up barbed wire. The Nanchuan soldiers were fighting to the death with these simple fortifications and the chasing dynasty army.

Countless Nanchuan soldiers who had lost their system were reorganized and put on the battlefield. A steady stream of wounded soldiers were carried down from the front line. The dynasty army was full of momentum and launched assaults, private nobles, provincial garrison troops, and even troops from the Central Army.

At the forefront of the Nanchuan Army's defense line, various troops of the Dynasty army continued to gather from all directions, with an astonishing number of people reaching an astonishing 70,000 people. The dark array made people feel cold on their backs.

In the command center, Lin Chuan's eyes were red and covered with blood. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head and saw Li Yunshan, the chief of staff, walked in with a tired face.

"Is there no news about the Second Flag Group yet?" Lin Chuan asked.

The Second Flag Regiment has lost contact with Lin Chuan for ten days, and the lives and deaths of ten thousand Nanchuan soldiers are unknown. Now Lin Chuan is eager to know Ye Fei's news and the news of the Second Flag Regiment.

Li Yunshan walked to the little stool in front of Lin Chuan, sat down, and said in a low voice: "I just captured several prisoners of the Dynasty army. They said that the Second Flag Regiment was destroyed by them north of Koro City..."

"Impossible, there are more than 10,000 people in the Second Flag Group, and it is impossible that no one escaped." Lin Chuan didn't believe that this was true at all.

The Second Flag Regiment belongs to one of the most powerful flag regiments under Lin Chuan. Many of the officers were from Xing Tu and had been through many battles. Lin Chuan would never believe that such a powerful force would be wiped out by the Dynasty army.

"General, I'm also very sad, but the facts..."

"I want to interrogate the prisoners myself!" Lin Chuan stood up and said.

A moment later, Lin Chuan came outside the military tent where the prisoners were imprisoned.

"Tell you, you should surrender quickly. The dynasty central army has arrived in the province. You are about to be destroyed. If you surrender now, you can still leave a way out! Let us go quickly-" Outside the military tent, Lin Chuan heard the arrogant voice of the prisoners.

Lin Chuan lifted the curtain and walked in. The two interrogators hurriedly stood attentively and looked embarrassed. They were originally interrogating the prisoners, but in fact, the Nanchuan army is now defeated, and the dynasty army is full of morale, and even they are not confident.

Seeing the golden eagle emblem on Lin Chuan's neckline, the captain spoke loudly: "You are an officer, let me go, I will recommend you to be the city lord from where we Lord Apollo."

"Rare!" The interrogator was furious when he saw the captives being so arrogant.

"Your end of the world has come. I advise you to let us know the times and not to struggle more." Another prisoner shouted loudly without the slightest awareness of being a prisoner on his face, even the guards outside the military tent could hear it.

Lin Chuan ignored the clamor of the prisoners and walked to one of the prisoners and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know the news about the Second Flag Group? Tell me the specific situation and I can let you go."

"We don't know what the Second Flag Regiment we killed too many rebels. What are you talking about? It's not the one with our crowded landscape, hahahaha." A prisoner laughed loudly."

"Puff!" Blood splattered, and a big head rolled to the ground, which shocked the two interrogators to grow up. They did not expect Lin Chuan to kill someone if he had a disagreement.

Lin Chuan walked to the second captive with a blood-dropping sword and continued, "Tell me the news about the Second Flag Regiment, I can let you go."

The captive saw the head of the man rolling to the ground, and his eyes were filled with fear. He looked at the gentle-faced young general and could not speak for a moment.

With a squeak, another prisoner's head fell to the ground, and Lin Chuan didn't want to waste too much time.

"I said, I said--" The last prisoner was afraid that he would finish his words, so Lin Chuan's sword slashed down, and before Lin Chuan could speak, he couldn't wait to speak.

Lin Chuan walked back to the interrogator's seat and sat down, listening to the captives' description of how the Second Flag Regiment was defeated in the darkness and how the escaped person was chased and killed.

Listening to the captive's description, Lin Chuan finally knew why he had not received news about the Second Flag Regiment for so long. There was only one reason, that is, the entire Second Flag Regiment was wiped out.

Thinking of the 10,000 soldiers of the Second Flag Regiment fighting to the death on the land full of enemies, facing the continuous emergence of enemies, they eventually fought hard, and their hearts were filled with deep self-blame. Why did they not discover the enemy's conspiracy in advance?

When Lin Chuan heard that the heads of the soldiers of the Second Flag Group had been cut off and piled up into several people's heads, he became angry and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood.

"Ye Fei deserves to die!" Lin Chuan punched the table, and the entire table was shattered. The eyes of the two interrogators were filled with horror. They did not expect that their general's military power had reached such a superb level.

The entire Second Flag Regiment was eventually wiped out due to Ye Fei's greed for merit and recklessness. Lin Chuan covered his face with his hands, his heart full of grief. Ten thousand soldiers were gone like this. This was the heaviest loss after the Corps entered Jiuyuan Province.

The situation of the Second Flag Regiment has been clear. It is no longer meaningful to continue to persist in Jiuquhe, because the second flag regiment they are waiting for has been wiped out...

Lin Chuan walked out of the camp where the prisoners were imprisoned, and Li Yunshan was waiting for him outside the camp.

"Yunshan, prepare to retreat." Lin Chuan said.

Now all the troops of the Dynasty army are coming in a steady stream. Relying on the simple fortifications of Jiuquhe, even if the Dynasty army is blocked, the First Corps will suffer heavy losses. Lin Chuan is preparing to withdraw to the Heishan Iron Mine Area.

On the line of Maple Leaf Ore outside the Heishan Iron Mine Area, the left-behind Mu Blood Flag regiment has built a large number of solid fortifications. As long as you keep somewhere, you will wait for reinforcements from Mucheng.

On the night of April 5, the Nanchuan army on the Jiuqu River line began to evacuate in an orderly manner with the help of the night cover. The Linchuan Corps' first attack on the Jiuyuan Province failed with heavy losses.

The evacuation of the Nanchuan Army quickly alarmed the dynasty army on the other side of the Jiuqu River. Countless noble private troops and provincial garrison troops began to cross the river to prepare for pursuit. Now in their eyes, the Linchuan Army was like a cooked duck and could not fly.

Without the resistance of the Nanchuan Army, the dynasty army began to cross the Jiuqu River in a mighty manner. Since the bridge had long been burned by the Nanchuan Army, the dynasty army that crossed the river had to use fishing boats, and the cavalry troops directly drifted across the river. For a moment, the dynasty army was densely packed with dumplings in the Jiuqu River.

"Go to do it!" Wu Jing, a cavalry flag regiment in the upper reaches of the Jiuqu River, said coldly.

I don’t know when the reservoir in the upper reaches of the Jiuqu River was captured by the Nanchuan cavalry. With Wu Jing’s order, the soldiers of Nanchuan dug the dam of the reservoir and the majestic water flow rolled towards the downstream.
