Chapter seven hundred and forty sixth strategic detour
In April 807 AD, the reorganized Far East Corps of the Nanchuan Army set off from a camp in Kara Province and took the initiative to send troops to the Teutonic Province to find the Hanhai Army to fight.
After the reorganization, there were thirty reorganized flag regiments under the Far East Legion, and most of the grassroots officers were transferred from the War Academy or drawn by other Nanchuan Army troops as veterans or sergeants.
After more than two months of training, the Far East Legion has transformed from the loose organizational structure of the rebel army and has become a legion with strict organizational structure and strong soldiers.
Now, whether in the Far East or other regions of the dynasty, wars are everywhere, and all forces are singing and appearing, fighting each other endlessly.
As a powerful force, Lin Chuan intends to get a share of the pie in this chaotic world of heroes, and naturally, it is inseparable from the support of the powerful legion. Now the seven legions under the Nanchuan Army have gradually taken shape.
The Far East has a vast land and abundant resources, and the middle area is a rich grain-producing area. Therefore, after careful consideration, Lin Chuan decided to take over the Far East and build it into a stable base for his own dominance.
As long as the Far East can provide the Nanchuan Army with a steady stream of food and military resources, Linchuan will be confident to defeat the heroes and establish a new empire in a short period of time.
Therefore, the Far East has become an important part of the rise of the Nanchuan Army and an important part of the empire in the Linchuan plan. Although the Hanhai Empire occupied this place, Linchuan is bound to win.
During the two months of training in the Far East Legion, weapons and equipment from Nanchuan Province and veterans were continuously transported into the Far East. The purpose was very simple, to expand the strength of the Nanchuan Army in the Far East and defeat the Hanhai people.
Relying on the large number of combat-experienced officers, veterans and sergeants sent by the Far East Legion quickly built the skeleton of the legion and carefully selected the elite soldiers. In just two months, the Far East Legion had already formed initial combat power.
March is the time when spring is blooming. After a few spring rains, the tender green grass on the withered fields almost popped up overnight, and the sight of the eyes is full of vitality.
However, the climate in the Far East is still harsh, with foggy and grayness, and the roads become muddy due to rain.
The whole army was advancing eastward on the muddy road, winding in line, and the black military flag was sweeping at the sight of the end.
All the soldiers of the Far East Legion have completed their dressing changes. They wore the uniform black military uniforms, black armor, and unified steel swords of the Nanchuan Army, and the morale of the army has been completely renewed.
The commander of the Far East Legion Muxue looked at the winding army, and his heart was full of heroism. He couldn't wait to take this mighty and majestic army to fight a beautiful victory to thank Lin Chuan for his kindness.
Mu Xue was at the beginning of the establishment of the Nanchuan Army. He initially served as a military judge under the command of the military judge Liu Zichen, and later transferred to the combat force because of his bravery in combat.
He became a 100-man leader, a squad leader, a squad leader, a deputy commander, and a senior general of the Nanchuan Army with his military achievements step by step.
However, among the Nanchuan Army, which is full of stars, countless people are strong and Mu Xue. Although Mu Xue was the commander of the corps, it is nowhere to go further.
It was at this time that Lin Chuan sent Mu Xue to the Far East to lead the rebel army to resist the Hanhai army. Lin Chuan promised Mu Xue that he could lead the rebel army to be the bigger the officer he could.
Mu Xue finally lived up to Lin Chuan's expectations and led a vigorous uprising in the Far East. His troops once reached more than two million. However, due to the rapid expansion of the troops and the counterattack of Hanhai Army, the rebel army quickly fell back, and in the end, Mu Xue only had more than a dozen flag regiments left under his command.
Lin Chuan did not break his promise. After the rebel army accepted the reorganization of the Nanchuan Army, Mu Xue was appointed as the commander of the legion, officially joining the seven main legions, and is the strongest legion.
Each other legion of the Nanchuan Army has a maximum of twelve flag regiments, but the blood-filled Far East legion has thirty flag regiments, and the strongest legion deserves it.
The reason why Lin Chuan expanded the Far East Legion to thirty flag regiments was that it was to deal with the powerful Hanhai people, and the second was that it was to praise Mu Xue. After all, he was born alone in the Far East, which was the honor he deserved.
Mu Xue is now grateful to Lin Chuan while also determined to die. Lin Chuan is his Bole, and he is the sharpest sword in Lin Chuan's hand, and the sword's sharpest sword pointed to, and it is invincible.
The commander of the legion, Mu Xue, attacked the Teutonic Province in the east according to the military order of Deputy Commander Mingyang. On the one hand, he wanted to test the strength of the army after the reorganization, and on the other hand, he wanted to repay Lin Chuan's kindness for his kindness.
Minks City is the western gate of the Teutonic Province. Mu Xue led the vast army of the Far East Legion directly to the Teutonic Province. Ayulie, the commander of the Hanhai Guard stationed in the Teutonic Province, immediately dispatched all forces in the province to gather in Minks City, hoping to block the attack of the Far East Legion here.
Although the Hanhai Army now has millions of troops in the Far East, it is distributed in more than ten provinces and important cities. Therefore, the troops that the Teutonic Provincial Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor's Governor'
It is logical that a provincial garrison command can command up to three or five divisions, but the Teutonic Province is located on the border of the control areas between the two sides, so it has a large number of troops.
Ayulie was the commander of the garrison in Teutonic Province. He was originally a general under Denzel, the commander of the Hanhai First Army. The destruction of Denzel's troops was destroyed. Ayulie suppressed the remnants of the uprising army in Teutonic Province at that time, so he escaped.
This time the Far East Legion entered the Teutonic Province eastward, and the garrison commander Ayulie gathered nearly twenty divisions in Minks City, and may not have no intention of avenging his old boss.
However, as the commander of the Far East Legion, Mu Xue knew before the army set out that Minks City was easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, with the large number of Hanhai troops stationed, even if they conquered, their Far East Legion would suffer a lot of losses.
As a newly established legion, the tragic victory was not what Mu Xue wanted to see. What he needed was a complete annihilation battle, so his combat formation was not to attack the garrisoned Minks City, but to prepare for strategic detours.
Mingx is stationed with the Hanhai Army of ten divisions and the Hanhai Servant Army of ten divisions. He is strong and has a strong appetite for blood. He is ready to eat the Hanhai Army in one bite.
Therefore, the first place where Mu Xue chose to attack was not the city of Minks, which was heavily stationed, but the Red Iron Fortress, which was two hundred miles deep in Minks.
As long as the Red Iron Fort is captured, the Hanhai army stationed in Minks City will be cut off from the rear and supply, becoming an isolated army trapped in the city. Although Minks City is high and thick, it has no supplies and is surrounded and they will not last long.
The task of taking the detour to capture the Red Iron Fort is arduous. Because the Red Iron Fort also has heavy troops, it must be unexpected. As long as the Red Iron Fort is captured and the connection between the Mingx City defenders and the rear is cut off, the battle will be half won.
To be on the safe side, the commander of the legion did not hand over the task of capturing the Red Iron Fort to Ma Fang, a powerful general who was known for his bravery, but instead asked the more meticulous general Yang Jindou to lead five flag regiments to attack.
The main force of the Far East Legion led by Mu Xue was advancing towards Minks City. The scouts had already scattered more than a hundred miles away. At the same time, five flag regiment soldiers led by the mighty general Yang Jindou had appeared on the edge of the forest one hundred miles outside the Red Iron Fort.
At this moment, the troops led by Yang Jindou were wandering in the morning and night. They had bypassed the city of Minks, which was heavily stationed in Hanhai Army, and went deeper to more than a hundred miles behind the Hanhai Army. Their mission was to continue to go east, capture the Red Iron Fort 100 miles away, cut off the logistics supply of the Hanhai Army in Mingkes City, and complete the strategic encirclement.
The drizzle was still falling, and the Far East Legion soldiers who had been walking for several days and nights were lurking in the dense forest to rest. Yang Jindou was wearing a black battle robe and stood on the edge of the forest, looking at the gray and rainy sky, cursing.
When the heavy rain comes, the road becomes muddy. Moreover, it is behind enemy lines, and there are dangers everywhere. If they cannot quickly attack and take down the Red Iron Fort, once they are exposed, they will be surrounded by the cavalry of the Hanhai. At that time, not only will the task be completed, but they will be in danger of destruction.
Dada - There was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the rain, and the soldiers of the Far East Legion hidden on the edge of the forest immediately raised their crossbows and prepared to shoot.
In the gray mist, two scout cavalry wearing black cloaks rode their horses into their eyes, and the soldiers holding the crossbow breathed a sigh of relief.
The black-armored cavalry turned over and dismounted and ran to Yang Jindou who was standing on the edge of the forest.
"Report to the general, we have found out clearly. More than 100 miles from here to Hongtien Fort are plains..."
Hearing the scout's report, Yang Jindou frowned deeply. If so many troops of their five flag regiments want to reach Red Iron Fort, they must pass through the more than 100-mile plain area, but the plain area is unobstructed and is more likely to be exposed. Once exposed, the raid will fail.
However, in order to capture the Red Iron Fort on time, it was impossible to detour. Yang Jindou gritted his teeth and prepared to take a risk.
A harsh stern flashed across Yang Jindou's face and ordered the scout: "Go back and tell you the battalion commander of the flag to spread all the scouts. Be sure to ensure that there is no living person in the twenty miles around the army's route. Do you understand?"
Now, in order to avoid the exposure of the army, Yang Jindou didn't care about so much. He could only use his iron-blooded skills to clear all villages and living people on the route of marching. Only in this way can he ensure safety.
