Chapter 250 Take over command
When Lin Chuan learned that the Xia Ge Legion was going to launch an attack on the dynasty provincial garrison flag regiment in the Changchuan Valley area, he had already expected that the dynasty army would definitely flock to him by then. Therefore, the Lin Chuan Legion also moved near the Changchuan Valley from the southern part of Austin to prepare to cover the Xia Ge Legion's operation.

Sure enough, the Xiage Legion encountered the First Legion of the dynasty Central Army in the Changchuan Valley area. Xiage, who has always been competitive, has a little appetite this time. He gave up the defeated provincial garrison troops and instead fought with the Central Army.
At the beginning, both sides were equal in power and no one could do anything to each other. However, with the continuous reinforcement of provincial garrison flag regiments in the surrounding areas, the Xia Ge Legion was increasingly at a disadvantage, and finally was surrounded in the Changchuan Valley area and could not move.
If Lin Chuan hadn't arrived in time, the Xia Ge Legion might have been divided and surrounded by the dynasty army commanded by Zhou Dingfang. It was only a matter of time to destroy it. Lin Chuan led more than 10,000 cavalry into the battlefield, disrupting Zhou Dingfang's encirclement plan. Now he had to adjust the rhythm of the offensive.
The cavalry troops that were originally left by Zhou Dingfang on the periphery were mainly used to chase and annihilate the enemy, but now they are deeply trapped in the battlefield. On the battlefield within a radius of twenty miles, it is dark again, and it is difficult to concentrate and not ordinary people can do it.
Although Linchuan cavalry troops were covered, it was still extremely difficult to break through the encirclement of nearly 200,000 enemies. Faced with layers of encirclement, countless Nanchuan soldiers fell on the way to break through.
Zhou Dingfang now has a total of nearly 200,000 troops in addition to a Central Army corps under his command, and several corpses of the Central Army led by Marshal Lan Yu are coming in a row and night.
Although Lin Chuan's cavalry just caught Zhou Dingfang off guard, causing several holes to appear in his encirclement, but now after his careful subordinates, these holes have been blocked again. More than 80,000 Xia Ge's army was trapped in the Changchuan Valley and still could not break out.
The soldiers of both sides fought in the forest and shoals, and the blood stained the ground red. The entire Changchuan Valley was filled with fire and shouting everywhere. Zhou Dingfang commanded the overall situation from a high point, constantly compressing the living space of the Nanchuan Army.
Xia Ge was shot by an arrow, and Lin Chuan temporarily took over command. He led his troops to wave east and west, forcing Zhou Dingfang to carefully deploy defenses on the periphery, because he is now uncertain whether the rebels' breakthrough line is east or west.
Lin Chuan's battles are very different from Xia Ge. Xia Ge's army likes to fight tough battles. The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road, but Lin Chuan is different. If he is not absolutely necessary, he will not fight head-on with the enemy.
"Extinguish the torch, it's time for us to fight back!" Lin Chuan looked at the tall tower in the distance, and his eyes burst into sharp light.
Before, Lin Chuan led his troops to rush left and right. Every time he was about to break out of the encirclement of the Dynasty army, there were always a large number of reinforcements from the Dynasty army arrived and forced them back. It seemed that the commander of the Dynasty army had foresight and could always judge Lin Chuan's attack direction.
Lin Chuan did not believe that the Chaozhou Army had such a shrewd commander. If there were any, the Xia Ge Legion would have been destroyed long ago and would not have persisted until now. After careful observation, Lin Chuan discovered the tower that was surrounded by the encirclement. Every time he made an action, the torches would always sway on the tower, and he was forced back by the Chaozhou Army.
Now Lin Chuan has basically confirmed that the commander of the Dynasty army is on the tower, commanding the battle condescendingly. This is also the reason why Xia Ge broke through the siege and suffered heavy losses in the middle of the night but still failed to break through. Because as soon as he moved, the enemy commander already knew the direction of his attack and immediately mobilized heavy troops to encircle him.
With Lin Chuan's order, all the Nanchuan soldiers who were holding the torches put out the torches, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.
"Now listen to my orders, all the infantry brothers hold hands, and after our cavalry launches an attack, break eastward!"
Lin Chuan stood on a high ground and ordered loudly. There was darkness around him. It was the dark soldiers of Nanchuan. Lin Chuan's words clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Sir, what should I do if the rebels extinguish the torches?" On the tower, the observer reported to the commander of the Legion Zhou Dingfang.
At this moment, although there were still small battles on the battlefield, the dynasty army with torches was very conspicuous, the rebel troops that were still there suddenly disappeared from Zhou Dingfang's vision.
"Order all troops to stop attacking, retreat to the periphery defense line, and wait until dawn to launch an attack." Zhou Dingfang immediately felt something was wrong when he saw the Nanchuan army extinguishing the torches, because he had lost his advantage now and could not judge if the Nanchuan army troops attacked.
What Zhou Dingfang is thinking now is to withdraw his troops from the battlefield and form an encirclement. When dawn is dawn, the Nanchuan army will not be able to escape.
However, Zhou Dingfang's order had just been issued, and suddenly there was a fierce shout of killing in front of his tower. The cavalry troops led by Lin Chuan launched an attack on this side. Because of the cover of darkness, the cavalry troops rushed to the front, and the dynasty troops guarding here discovered it.
"Kill!" Lin Chuan took the lead, slashing left and right in his hand, and coupled with the huge impact of the war horses, he led the black cavalry tore the defense line of the dynasty soldiers and continued to advance towards the tower.
"Hurry up, Commander Zhou, send someone to stop them." Seeing countless fierce Nanchuan cavalry coming towards the tower, Prince Long Rui was immediately panicked and hurriedly gave an order to Commander Zhou Dingfang.
"It's interesting," Looking at the Nanchuan cavalry who was striking here, Zhou Dingfang's face showed a playful look. Could it be that the rebel commander had learned it?
"Captain Zhou, why are you still standing there? Send someone to intercept me!"
Faced with the urging of Prince Long Rui, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Zhou Dingfang's eyes and said, "Your Highness the Third Prince, this may be the rebels' plan to attack the east and west, we should not be fooled."
Long Rui couldn't control those things and threatened: "Captain Zhou, the rebels are here to kill me. If I have any mistakes, can you bear it?!"
"But......"
Long Rui waved his hand and interrupted Zhou Dingfang: "Nothing, but, hurry up and send someone to intercept the rebels. Their breakthrough direction is ours."
Zhou Dingfang saw the black cavalry troops who were constantly rushing forward, and his face was gloomy because he could not tell where the Nanchuan Army broke through. Under Long Rui's constant urging, he finally ordered the troops on both sides to move to this side and intercept the rebel force.
As the dynasty troops on both sides moved, Lin Chuan, who was attacking forward, showed a sneer in his heart. Can't he help it?
"General, the dynasty army has surrounded us. Will we retreat?" Thunderstorm asked loudly.
Lin Chuan pointed to the tower road ahead, which was protected by layers of guards: "Did you see it? That is the location of the enemy commander. He beat us for the middle of the night, so we have to let him bleed."
"Good! Capture their commander alive." Lei Shao laughed and threw a hammer at him to fatten the dynasty officer who was rushing up.
