At the end of July, the main force of the Central Army led by Lan Yu arrived in Austin in the eastern part of Luoshan Province. Xue Wuman, the deputy commander of the Cavalry Legion, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, the rebels from Nanchuan Province were elusive and continued to attack troops, villages, towns, and transportation teams, which made Xue Wuman feel very troubled. He could only shrink his defense again and again to avoid being attacked by the Nanchuan army.

Near Austin is the Linchuan Army Corps of the Nanchuan Army. They firmly implement the harassing tactics designated by Linchuan, wandering around like wild wolves that appear in the wilderness. Whenever they discover the weakness of the Dynasty army's defense, they pounce on them and bite them hard.

The three hundred miles around Austin were originally stationed with provincial garrison flag regiments, but in the face of the continuous destruction and harassment of the Linchuan Legion, they have now contracted their defense line within a range of 100 miles around Austin.

Even so, Xue Wuman's troops are still often attacked by rebels. Now, teams at the Thousand-Man level dare not leave the camp at all. Once they walk out, they will never come back. Their bodies will be found in a remote corner a few days later.

Xue Wuman sent cavalry troops to pursue these rebels that were constantly attacking, but there were countless forests and lakes around Luoshan Province. Often when they were about to catch up, these annoying rebels would burrow into the dense forest, making their cavalry troops feel irritated and helpless.

Originally, Xue Wuman was planning to draw provincial garrison troops to encircle and suppress the rebels on a large scale, but these provincial garrison troops were too weak in combat. Often, they were scared to turn around and run away when they saw the black military flag of the Nanchuan Army, which made Xue Wuman finally give up this strategy. He was really not afraid of opponents like gods, but fear of teammates like pigs.

Xue Wuman believed that if these more than 200,000 provincial garrison troops were gathered together and encircled and suppressed, the rebels would definitely not be the opponent. However, these provincial garrison troops were unable to bear the battle, and in the end he could only wait for the arrival of Lan Yu's army.

Compared with the vulnerable force of the provincial garrison, the Central Army under Lan Yu is very elite. These soldiers are carefully selected soldiers of war. They are well-equipped and strict military discipline. The most important thing is that the Central Army soldiers are highly morale and dare to fight head-on with the rebels.

Perhaps due to the powerful deterrence of the Central Army, since Lan Yu led 300,000 Central Army to Austin, it was lingering like a fly before, and the annoying rebels disappeared out of thin air, and suddenly disappeared from the sight of the Dynasty Army's [31 Novel Network        Update Quick].

"Is there still no news about the rebels?" Lan Yu frowned and asked the cavalry general Xue Wuman.

Xue Wuman shook his head: "I have expanded the search range to three hundred miles, and no discoveries are found."

Xue Wuman was very depressed, especially depressed. Before Lan Yu came, he encountered attacks in the camps everywhere, which made him unable to disturb him. However, with Lan Yu's arrival, everything suddenly became calm again, and it seemed that there had never been a rebel.

Chief of staff Wu Changfeng interrupted, "Marson Marshal, you can't wait like this anymore. Our logistics pressure is very high. The military rations are only reserved for two months. If the war is not over within two months..." Wu Changfeng didn't need to say the following words, Lan Yu knew that what was waiting for him would be a difficult situation.

At that time, the initiative will not be in your hands, and even if you want to continue attacking, you will be powerless.

Lan Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Order the troops to start heading to Nanchuan Province tomorrow. I don't believe they don't even want their nests."

Lan Yu wanted to force these rebels hidden in the dark to come out by directly attacking Nanchuan Province and then fight him to the decisive battle.

In fact, as Lan Yu expected, when the huge expedition and suppression troops left Austin and advanced along the provincial road towards Nanchuan Province, Lin Chuan, who was hidden in the forest around Austin, was in a dilemma.

Originally, Lin Chuan wanted to use these harassing tactics to drag Lan Yu's expedition and suppression troops, so that the war would break out in the Luoshan Province, but Lan Yu's hero cut off his arm and directly attacked Nanchuan Province, catching Lin Chuan off guard.

"What do you say about Xia Ge?" Lan Yu advanced to Nanchuan Province, and Lin Chuan sent a liaison officer to Xia Ge's army to seek Xia Ge's advice.

Now in the Luoshan Province, in addition to the Linchuan Army, Xia Ge's troops are also active in the southern part of Luoshan Province, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The liaison officer replied: "The commander of Xia Ge's army decided to launch an offensive battle in the Changchuan Valley area, firmly attracting the main force of the dynasty in the Luoshan Province."

Lin Chuan frowned and said, "There are more than 600,000 dynasty troops gathered in Luoshan. Once they are surrounded, they are not a joke."

Contact officer: "Captain Xia Ge said that with the Legion Commander, you can guarantee that his legion will not fall into danger."

Lin Chuan smiled, touched his chin and said to himself, "This kid really respects me, Lin Chuan. OK, you go down."

Xia Ge's trust in Lin Chuan comes from his familiarity. The two of them have been in the same flag regiment since the rebellion of the Gyeonggi Province. At that time, the flag regiment commander was Leoman, and both of them were the sharpest sharp swords under Leoman.

During the first battle against the Dynasty army, Xia Ge seized the Dynasty army flag and Lin Chuan cut off the head of the enemy general. Since then, both sides have become good brothers who can speak for themselves. Although they have now become commanders of the army who command 100,000 troops, this brotherly affection has not become unfamiliar with changes in their official positions.

In August 1983, the war that took place in Luoshan Province took a major turn. In the Changchuan Valley area of ​​Luoshan, the Xiage Legion of the Nanchuan Army took the initiative to fight with the Dynasty army head-on, and began a head-on confrontation, opening the year-long war.

Later generations commented that it was precisely because of this seemingly simple battle to encircle and suppress the rebels that completely dragged the shaky carriage of the Far Eastern Dynasty into the swamp and eventually fell apart.

The Changchuan Valley is located in the northeast of Austin City. The three provincial garrison troops of the flag regiments were ordered by Marshal Lan Yu to advance eastward.

These three flag groups came from Heihe Province, Dandong Province and Storm Province. Because they were afraid of being attacked by elusive rebels, the three flag groups from neighboring provinces gathered together to keep warm in the week before.

According to the orders of Marshal Lan Yu, they set out to attack and advance towards the eastern region. Although it was an attack, the rebels who had been harassing everywhere a few days ago had not appeared for several days. In case, just in case, the three flag commanders would just march together to be safer.

On the north side of the three flag regiments are the garrison flag regiments of the other five provinces, and on the south side are the Central Army cluster led by Lan Yu, so the three flag regiment leaders did not find it difficult for this mission.

Now the various troops of the Dynasty Army are not far away. If they encounter an attack, the rest of the troops can provide support as soon as possible. Moreover, they are now operating together with several flag regiments. The Nanchuan Army does not have such a big appetite to eat them, and they may even collapse their teeth.

However, they underestimated the appetite of the Nanchuan Army. After Xia Ge Legion and Lin Chuan passed the letter, they decided to eat the three provincial garrison flag regiments in one bite in the Changchuan Valley area to attract the attention of the enemy. (To be continued)
