Iron Dynasty

Nanchang.

Luo Xin took out his pocket watch from his arms and looked at the time, then he ordered the soldiers to sound the charge horn for the attack.

For him, there are really not too many challenges to fight this way.

The Battle of Lin'an City did buy a little time for the Merchant Council to stabilize in the south, but it was only one point. In such a vast area, the Merchant Council's control power can be said to be extremely weak.

In many cases, it was just the wealthy clan in a certain city who joined the Merchant Council and changed their flag after pulling some trilogy, and the combat effectiveness of these wealthy clans was only the level of the cold weapon army ten years ago.

In the face of their muskets and artillery, it is good that these nobles can resist for an hour. In many cases, he can recover a county town by dispatching a thousand people, and a state-level city can be conquered by three thousand people.

For example, in the current Nanchang City, the number of soldiers under his command is only 8,000, and the rest are sent by him to attack other states and counties at the same time.

After all, relatively speaking, the influence of the merchant council in this area is still very weak, and the difficulty is Lu Fei.

Boom boom boom...

As the roar of the artillery sounded, the Nanchang city gate turned to dust in the explosion, and the soldiers stood in three rows, holding their guns and constantly shooting at the soldiers on the city wall.

However, the Nanchang soldiers on the city wall had no weapons to threaten them, and this kind of warfare has almost become the norm.

They are just shooting targets.

One by one, the soldiers on the Nanchang city wall fell from the wall, and chaos soon appeared on the city wall. These soldiers had never experienced such an incredible war.

The legend from the north has come true, and now they just want to live.

rush!

Following the order, the soldiers rushed into Nanchang City in a hurry. However, as soon as they entered the city, they found some soldiers walking towards them carrying white flags.

They don't take it as a surprise. In fact, this is what they teach. Before each siege, they always threaten in advance and ask them to surrender under the white flag.

If the opponent does not accept it will attack.

Passing over these surrendering soldiers, the royal soldiers rushed into the city immediately. As usual, they immediately searched for the members of the council in the city and arrested the wealthy families who supported the council. After all, if a city went to the merchant council, most of the wealthy families in the city must have chosen the merchant council. .

Under the escort of his personal guards, Luo Xin entered the city, and he ordered to his commander: Carefully search, you can't let go of a tael of silver from the wealthy family, think about the canned food you eat, think about the cans you have hanging around your waists. grenades, you would have nothing without money.

Luo Xin's words made the soldiers even more excited. Now that it has become their habit to seize wealthy property before entering a city, they are willing to have more wealthy families join the Merchant Council.

So they have a reason to deprive them of their wealth.

After winning Nanchang easily, Luo Xin unfolded the map. According to the current plan, the next step is Changsha, and then he will hit Guangzhou all the way to join Lu Fei.

After closing the map, he roared: Hurry up, hurry up, the rest is up to the officials, we have to continue south.

When they went south, officials led by Fiji took over the cities they captured one by one. Many of these southern cities were once under royal management. Many local officials had come to Beijing to meet Xiao Wenxuan and were very familiar with these important officials in Fiji. .

Therefore, every time Fiji goes to a place, it will search for local officials from poor families or good officials according to the roster to re-establish the government office.

Because of this, they were able to quickly stabilize the cities they captured, and they also chose to garrison some important cities to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy again.

On October 11th, after a short rest, Luo Xin led his troops to the south. In three months, he successively conquered Changsha, Hengzhou, Yongzhou, Chenzhou, and Shaozhou, and arrived at the foot of the city of Guangzhou in the middle of January of the following year.

At this time, Lu Fei also conquered Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, Chaozhou, Huizhou and arrived at the city of Guangzhou.

Hahaha, Rosin!

Under the city of Guangzhou, Lu Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed. From the south, they have been fighting for a year. Now they have won most of the territory controlled by the Merchant Council, and they have made great progress all the way.

Right in front of them is Guangzhou, the largest and most prosperous city occupied by the Merchant Council. As long as it is conquered, the Merchant Council will no longer have a place to stand.

Lu Fei. Luo Xin came to Lu Fei, and the two patted each other's shoulders. He looked at the dusty but refined soldiers behind Lu Fei and said, Many are new faces, it seems that These new recruits have become veterans.”

No, in order to win the South as soon as possible, batches of recruits went to the battlefield, and now they have become elites. Lu Fei said with a smile.

Luo Xin nodded, not only Lu Fei, but also brought a lot of officers from the Army Academy along the way, and the recruits have now become veterans.

However, he is very fortunate that he has understood a truth in the army academy. Sometimes the battle is about comprehensive strength.

This war was destined to be crushing from the very beginning. At first, it was a royal unification war, not an alien invasion, and the people's resistance was not very intense.

The ones who fought them desperately were those who were afraid of losing their status and wealth.

Moreover, the thoroughness of Chu's reforms has made many people who see it believing see clearly the benefits of following the royal family. On the contrary, the Merchant Council has done a lot of dirty things this year.

After all, the members of the parliament are complicated, and there are no people. Some members of the parliament are no better than the bandits. Many people hate it.

Second, agriculturally-dominated regions are no match for strong industrial regions at all.

Hey, going south this time has become a training ground for soldiers. Luo Xin looked at the city of Guangzhou in front of him, When do you want to fight?

In order to defend this city, the Merchant Council arranged the last elites here, and it is said that the people who were bewitched by the Qinglong King were also in the city.

What's the hurry, you and I have just joined forces, let the soldiers rest, eat and drink before fighting, go, this time the emperor in the supply, in order to reward us, specially rewarded Qingzhou drunk, and then made some small dishes, Relax tonight.

Luo Xin licked his lips. Fighting is an extremely difficult thing. The soldiers who went south this time suffered few casualties, but the mosquito bites and the poisonous mist caused many casualties. If it weren't for the superb medical skills of the doctors who accompanied the army, he would have Going crazy.

Now that Lu Fei said this, he really wanted to relax.

Go and beat them if you have enough food and drink. Luo Xin cursed while pointing at Guangzhou City, and Lu Fei suddenly laughed when he heard the words.
