Chapter 414 Burning the Long Street

The Zhenxi Army encountered its strongest opponent in Heiyan City. In the past few weeks, the Zhenxi Army has sieged the city and plundered the land, uprooting all forces against the sixth prince Long Qing one by one. Their strength once created the myth of the invincible Zhenxi Army.

However, when they met the Nanchuan Army, who was also known for their bravery and good fighting, their good luck seemed to have run out.

First, their cavalry lost hundreds of people and retreated in a mess, and then the soon-to-be-captured Heiyan City was also reinforced by major Nanchuan infantry soldiers, and the two sides fell into a melee.

While the soldiers of Zhenxi Army were rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find their own spoils, they were caught off guard by the sudden attack of the Nanchuan infantry. Twelve blocks fell in the first half of the night, losing thousands of soldiers of Zhenxi Army.

When their commanders gathered their troops again and prepared to retake these blocks, more Nanchuan troops were involved in the battle. The western troops of these towns suffered a head-on blow. Instead of recapturing these blocks, they were beaten backwards.

The Zhenxi Army had been fighting fiercely for a whole day, and now it was almost fighting overnight. People's physical strength was limited, and they were now at the brink of their limits, relying entirely on a bloody courage to charge forward.

In accordance with Lin Chuan's instructions, the Nanchuan infantry rushed and attacked the Zhenxi Army with several elite flag battalions as assault troops. The subsequent troops cleared out the remaining enemies one by one street, one by one. Faced with the fierce attack of the Nanchuan Army, the Zhenxi Army's defense line was constantly broken through.

The soldiers of Zhenxi Army, who originally wanted to win by street fighting, suddenly discovered that their self-pride individual combat capabilities were really not enough to see in front of the five-man battle formation of the Nanchuan Army.

"Pay attention to the houses on both sides! Be vigilant!" A team of Nanchuan infantry was searching and advancing on the streets in the dark, and the battle boots stepped on the puddles filled with water and stirred the puddles to become turbid.

The sergeant and officer looked serious, and his sharp eyes kept scanning the houses on both sides of the street where enemies could appear.

After the fierce battle to the second half of the night, the Zhenxi Army, which was at a disadvantage, had completely turned into street fighting. They hid in the streets and alleys like flies and started guerrilla warfare, constantly launching sneak attacks on the Nanchuan soldiers, forcing Lin Chuan to order the troops to clear out one street after another.

"Please pay attention to both sides, open my eyes wide--" Nanchuan soldiers kept reminding the Nanchuan soldiers who were advancing with their shields.

The streets were covered with charred corpses, including those from the Zhenxi Army and those from the Nanchuan soldiers, who were those who died in the battle of the block capture in the first half of the night.

A Nanchuan soldier stepped on a charred corpse. With the light of a torch, he recognized the body of a soldier wearing a soldier in the west of the town. Seeing the golden chain hanging around the neck of the corpse, the Nanchuan soldier squatted down and pulled it down and stuffed it into his arms.

"Bang!" The sergeant used a battle knife to overturn a corpse lying on the broken wall, revealing a pale and ferocious face.

Wow! A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded in the darkness, and a large number of sharp arrows attacked the Nanchuan infantry team that was searching and advancing.

"Hurry! Dodge!" the officers yelled.

"Shield Shield--"

Faced with the sudden attack, the search infantry was in chaos. The powerful arrows easily penetrated the infantry's bodies, splashing large pieces of blood. The originally silent streets were loudly yelled and painful wails.

Most of the infantry held their shields and hid in the bunker next to the street as soon as they attacked, but there were still more than a dozen infantrymen who could not dodge and were overturned to the ground.

"Save me - save me -" Nanchuan soldier who was shot in his thigh rolled into the puddle and groaned in pain.

"Woo woo..." The wounded soldier who covered his bloody neck with his hands kept twitching on the ground.

The torch fell to the ground, which soon ignited the armor of the dead soldiers. Using the firelight, the officers of the Nanchuan Army Infantry Team saw the archers of Zhenxi Army hiding on the roof of the house dozens of meters away.

"Climb up to the roof and kill these messes."

The Nanchuan soldiers built a ladder, and several agile Nanchuan soldiers jumped up and jumped onto the roof, but with the sound of puffing, they rolled down again.

"Kill!" Countless black shadows jumped out of the ruins in the dark, and they attacked the Nanchuan infantry team that was suppressed by archers.

The fierce battle immediately began on the streets. This was a premeditated attack by the Zhenxi Army. They attacked the Nanchuan Army's infantry detachment with several times the superior force. In less than a moment, the Nanchuan Army's infantry detachment was cut to pieces by them.

"General, several infantry squads ahead were attacked and suffered heavy losses." The front-line flag battalion commander reported to Lin Chuan with a sad expression.

"Touch!" The angry Lin Chuan punched the wooden table, his eyes full of anger.

The guerrilla warfare in the dark of Zhenxi Army caused great losses to the attacking Nanchuan soldiers. The large number of Zhenxi Army has been eliminated. Now there are only a thousand remaining people, but they have caused casualties to the Nanchuan Army exponentially and twice.

"Transfer the troops outside the city to me and increase the troops on the front line." Lin Chuan ordered the increase of the troops to clear the troops.

Chief of staff Xue Wen shook his head and stopped Lin Chuan from continuing to increase his troops: "General, we have enough troops to enter the city. The problem now is not that there are not enough troops, but that the Zhenxi Army is hiding in the dark. We are in the open, so we have to find a way to force them out."

"Sir, what can I do?" Lin Chuan turned his attention to Xue Wen, wanting to get some ideas from Xue Wen.

Xue Wen paused, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes and replied, "General, since they don't want to come out, let them die inside."

"Chief of the Flag Regiment, why don't these Nanchuan troops attack? Are we afraid of being beaten?" The soldiers of Zhenxi Army, who were hiding in the dark, asked their commander the madman.

Now they mainly occupy several blocks west of the city, relying on abandoned houses and streets to deal with the Nanchuan Army to carry out guerrilla warfare. As long as they persist until dawn, their large troops will arrive.

"Can they be afraid of us?" Some officers from the West Army speculated.

The commander madman shook his head: "It won't be that simple. The Nanchuan Army has strong combat power and will not give up so easily."

"Sir, look!" Suddenly, a soldier from Zhenxi, who was on a high place, pointed at a distance and shouted.

The madman stood up suddenly. He looked around and saw countless Nanchuan infantry throwing torches into the houses in the dark. Soon, a raging fire was burning on the streets.

Countless Zhenxi soldiers hiding in ruined houses were forced out in the face of the fire, and they were greeted by the Nanchuan infantry's bows and arrows.

"So cruel!" The madman saw that the Nanchuan army actually forced them out with fire. When he saw the soldiers of Zhenxi Army who were shot, his fists creaked.

In the second half of the night, the entire streets in the west of the city were all trapped in a sea of ​​fire. On the periphery of the sea of ​​fire, the fully armed soldiers of Nanchuan were on high alert, and all the Zhenxi Army forced out were shot and killed.

When it was lightly dawn, all the soldiers of Zhenxi Army occupying the west block of the city had been cleared. Except for thousands of soldiers of Zhenxi Army who escaped when the fire began to ignite, the rest were either killed during the battle or burned into charred corpses by the fire.
