Chapter 653 Tres Falls
The flags were waving on the avenue of Luoshan Province, and the iron flow was rolling. The armor and steel weapons made a loud collision sound. The serious-looking Nanchuan soldiers lined up in countless columns and moved forward silently. The huge army was like a black dragon winding and squirming on the ground.
Two days ago, the 200,000 troops of the Red Turban Army attacked Luoshan Province under the control of the Nanchuan Army, burned, killed, looted, and rolled thick smoke. The beautiful mountains and rivers became deserted. Thousands of people were displaced. Faced with the atrocities of the Red Turban Army, Lin Chuan issued a letter to all the military and civilians, denying the atrocities of the Red Turban Army and calling on the Nanchuan Army to resolutely fight back.
The First Field Army of Nanchuan, stationed in the Luoshan Province, took immediate action and under the leadership of Xia Ge, fought bloody battles with the invading Red Turban Army troops to cover the evacuation of the people. However, the Red Turban Army had huge ambitions and its troops continued to increase. In a short period of time, the troops suddenly increased to 350,000, and invaded the Luoshan Province in several ways.
Xia Ge's first legion not only wanted to block the invading Red Turban Army, but also helped the people evacuate. He could not support himself and had to ask Lin Chuan for help.
After receiving Xia Ge's request for help, Lin Chuan personally led 150,000 Nanchuan troops to travel to Luoshan Province day and night to resist the invading Red Turban Army.
After a year of development, the Red Turban Army now has a huge force in eight provinces, and its leaders are even more willing to be emperor. However, the hinterland of the dynasty is now complex, including the Central Army, the Southern Army, the Northern Army, the Governors of various provinces, the army of wealthy families, and 400,000 Rong cavalry attacking each other.
Although the Red Turban Army has eight provinces, it still does not have any advantage in the above-mentioned lion brigades. Therefore, the Red Turban Army aimed at the Nanchuan Army in the east, trying to annex the Nanchuan Army and its three provinces under its control, so as to continue to expand its strength.
In the eyes of the Red Turban Army, he did not dare to fight against powerful opponents such as the Rong clan Iron Cavalry, because he was afraid that the other forces would take the opportunity to seize his way, but if he dealt with the Nanchuan Army, he would not have so many concerns.
Because the Nanchuan Army has only a total of 300,000 permanent troops, and the eastern border is under pressure from the Hanhai people, the Red Turban Army believes that the Nanchuan Army is a soft persimmon [31 Novel Network], and is preparing to kill the Nanchuan Army first, and then turn around to deal with the rest of the forces in the hinterland of the dynasty.
Faced with the intention of the Red Turban Army to annex the Red Turban Army, Lin Chuan knew it no longer. However, it was easy to deal with the Red Turban Army, which was born into a bandit. In order to avoid fighting on both sides of the Nanchuan Army in the future, Lin Chuan was determined to give the Red Turban Army a profound lesson this time, so they knew that the tiger's butt could not be touched, so they used the trick and commanded the army to go west to Luoshan Province.
The Red Turban Army attacked the Nanchuan Army this time, with a total of 350,000 troops, led by the Northern King Wutiance, who was conferred the title of the King. This person was originally a butcher. He joined the Red Turban Army's rebel army because of his bravery and became one of the commanders of the Red Turban Army. Now he is named the Northern King and is also considered a brave general who is brave and good at fighting.
In the past two months, the Northern King Wu Tiance led his Red Turban Army to defeat the Inner Guards of the Dynasty and captured Qinghe Province in one fell swoop. Now he is even more ambitious and tries to take over the Luoshan Province, Nanchuan Province and Jiuyuan Province under the control of the Nanchuan Army, thereby enhancing his position in the Red Turban Army.
The city of Tres in Luoshan Province is one of the big cities in the northern part of Luoshan Province. The once prosperous city has now become a ruin, with ruins everywhere, thick smoke shrouding over the city, and countless soldiers wrapped in red scarves wandering in the streets and alleys, and any valuable items have become their spoils.
"June, spare me, I'll give you all my money." Some residents who had no time to escape from the city were blocked in the alley by Red Turban soldiers, begging for mercy in horror.
"Go to your mother!" The Red Turban Army soldiers knew what they needed to do at this moment. The sharp sword stabbed into the residents' bodies, and the begging for mercy came to an abrupt end. Several Red Turban Army soldiers immediately excitedly groped in the bodies to find valuable objects.
But not everyone is rich. After exploring for a long time, the Red Turban Army only found a few broken copper coins.
"What a poor man!" The Red Turban Army soldier stood up cursingly, put several copper coins into his pockets, and searched the hidden house with a blood-dropping sword.
The whole city was trembling in the fire and laughter. The residents who had no time to withdraw from the city could not escape the sharp swords of the Red Turban Army. The sound of rumbling boxes and cabinets were everywhere. All the soldiers were covered with big bags of small bags, which were their spoils.
The Red Turban Army rose among the wild, and at the beginning it was just to resist the tyranny of the Far Eastern dynasty. However, as time passed, the original righteous rebels had become a group of brutal plunderers. Wherever they went, anything they liked would become their personal belongings, and those who dared to resist would become their sword ghosts.
The Red Turban Army expanded too quickly, and it swept across eight provinces in just one year. The Red Turban Army soldiers were as numerous as ox-haired. Even their leaders didn't know how many troops they had under their command, but it was beyond doubt that they had strong strength.
Faced with the large number of Red Turban Army members under his command, the leaders who were also from the grass-roots could not give high military pay to the soldiers like Lin Chuan of the Nanchuan Army, because they only knew how to plunder, not how to build, and they were the ones who could eat there. There was no such thing as logistics food pay.
Because the military pay could not be paid to the soldiers of the Red Turban Army at the bottom, the simple-minded leaders simply gave the order that as long as they fought, the spoils that anyone who snatched, except for 30% of the spoils they snatched were owned by the soldiers.
The consequence of such a rough and simple military order is that all the soldiers of the Red Turban Army have become cruel plunderers. They are eager to fight more than anyone else, because fighting means wealth and plunder. Therefore, the Red Turban Army is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and with its powerful invasion ability and human sea tactics, they defeated the dynasty army one by one.
The cities occupied by the Red Turban Army were basically turned into ruins, and everything was plundered. Local residents either died or joined the Red Turban Army to plunder. This was a brutal army, so when they had finished their food in one place, they had to attack new places to fill their stomachs and plunder their wealth.
Although the Red Turban Army did not have strong logistical capabilities and very superb command art, they conquered one city after another with simplicity and cruelty. This time, Teres did not escape the bad luck. When all the city's guards were killed in battle, the entire city became the hunting place for the Red Turban Army.
According to the general situation, the Red Turban Army will plunder in this city for three to four days before advancing towards the next city, but the situation today is indeed different. The Red Turban Army soldiers only plundered for one day and then received the order from their leader to assemble to the east gate.
The soldiers of the Red Turban Army also knew that their combat effectiveness was a scumbag. The reason why they captured one city after another was relying on the huge sea of people tactics, so they could only starve to death after leaving the army. Although their military discipline was dispersed, they still basically followed the commands of the leader.
The whimpering horn echoed over the city. Countless Red Turban soldiers who were still unsatisfied walked out of the streets and alleys with large bags, gathered into countless torrents, heading towards the assembly point. Everyone was excited because Tres under the control of the Nanchuan Army was too rich and everyone gained a lot. (To be continued)
