    ? Luyang Province, the command headquarters of the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army.

    "General, the Eighty-eighth Scout Team sent back the news that the 20th Corps of the People's Army in Jiangbei Province is coming from the south, and the vanguard has passed Sanshan Pass."

    Li Lang, deputy head of the army, hurried into Chen Zi'ang's room, and handed over a copy of the latest information sent back by the scouts.

    "More than 50,000 troops?"

    After Chen Ziang quickly read the information sent back by the scouts, he couldn't help frowning.

    "They are coming out in full force."

    Although Chen Ziang and the others are still staying in Luyang Province, they also attach great importance to intelligence work.

    So they also have some understanding of the newly formed 20th Corps of the People's Army, and they have a total strength of only 50,000 to 60,000 troops.

    Now the 20th Corps of the People's Army came out in full force and drove towards Luyang Province. The purpose is self-evident.

    Because in Luyang Province, the provincial garrison troops and local garrison troops of the dynasty were almost wiped out by the Qinghe Army.

    Now the cavalry of the Qinghe Army are galloping across the territory of Luyang Province, it can be said that it is like entering the land of no one.

    Now that the 20th Corps of the People's Army has entered Luyang Province, most of them are directed at their Qinghe Army.

    "General, they are not good people, we have to prepare early." Li Lang, deputy head of the army, said solemnly.

    Now in the northeast of Luyang Province, the troops led by King Ning are in a stalemate with the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army.

    And now there is another dynasty army with a strength of up to 50,000 coming from the south, and the Qinghe army is in a situation of being attacked from both sides.

    "Report!"

    When Chen Ziang was looking at the map and contemplating the countermeasures, another soldier covered in dust and dust rushed towards him outside the door.

    "General, a large number of enemy troops have been found in the western part of the province!" The soldier reported loudly, panting heavily.

    "How many people are there, and under what banner?"

    Hearing that a large number of enemy troops had also been found in the western part of the province, Chen Ziang and Li Lang looked at each other, and they both saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

    "They are under the banner of the 23rd Corps of the People's Army and the Liu Family Army, with a strength of about 30,000."

    "Where are they?"

    "Near Huishan."

    After Chen Ziang questioned the soldier again, he sent him down to rest.

    "The dynasty dispatched troops, it seems that they want to eat us up."

    King Ning's troops, the 20th Corps of the Civilian Army, the 23rd Corps of the Civilian Army, and the Liu Jiajun.

    Together, these troops are not a force to be underestimated, and they have already formed an advantage over the Qinghe Army in terms of strength.

    "General, the morale of our army is high now, it is better to strike first, take advantage of the opportunity when they split up, concentrate superior forces, and defeat them one by one."

    Facing the pressure of a strong enemy, although Li Lang, the deputy commander of the army, looked dignified, he quickly came up with a countermeasure to defeat the enemy.

    If it is really according to what Li Lang said, their Qinghe Army troops concentrate their superior forces and defeat each dynasty army one by one, it will work.

    "It is indeed a good way to strike first, concentrate superior forces, and defeat them one by one, but it is not appropriate for us to confront them head-on now."

    Although Chen Ziang thought Li Lang's suggestion was very good, he didn't want to do it.

    "Our most maneuverable unit is our Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry. Only they have the ability to run long distances. Therefore, if we want to implement various defeat tactics, the main force of the battle is only our cavalry unit."

    "Now we have been exposed. The enemy knows our situation very well and knows that we have a large number of cavalry troops, so they must be prepared."

    "Once our cavalry troops are delayed by one of the enemies, we will fall into a passive situation, and we will be in danger of being surrounded by the enemy." Chen Zi'ang explained.

    After Li Lang heard Chen Ziang's words, he was also silent. They had been winning battles so much that now he felt contempt for the enemy.

    He forgot that their enemy now is not the decaying provincial garrison and the local garrison of the dynasty, but the newly formed militia.

    These militias were formed by many wealthy families. These wealthy families have been passed down for hundreds of years, so they naturally have a profound heritage.

    ? The profound background of the rich and powerful families is not only reflected in their wealth and influence.On the day, they also recruited a group of talents who can make good decisions.

    It is precisely because this group of talents are playing a role that their militia troops have been formed for a short time, but their combat effectiveness is strong, and they fight against the rebels from all walks of life.

    Because most of the insurgents from all walks of life came from reckless backgrounds, they are used to fighting directly.

    However, this is not the case with the militia controlled by wealthy families. Their army has a rich staff team. With their advice and suggestions, the militia is naturally invincible.

    Li Lang still used his old thinking to judge the enemy, so he proposed such a strategy of defeating each one.

    After Chen Ziang reminded him, he realized that he had underestimated the enemy, and the militiamen were not fools, so they would definitely guard against them.

    Once their troops were dragged down, the rest of the dynastic armies took advantage of the trend to outflank the rear, and they would really fall into a passive position at that time.

    Moreover, the strength of the enemies in each route is not weak, ranging from 30,000 to 50,000 to as many as 50,000 to 60,000. Unless the Qinghe army comes out in full force, it will be difficult to easily attack them.

    "Don't look at how aggressive their armies are now, but they don't belong to each other, and they are controlled by different wealthy families. I don't know what kind of small calculations they have behind their backs."

    Although a strong enemy was pressing down on the situation, Chen Zi'ang, a member of the Second Corps of the Qinghe Army, did not panic in the slightest.

    "General, what should we do now?"

    Compared with the calm and natural Chen Ziang, Li Lang, the deputy army commander, was not so calm.

    After all, a strong enemy is pressing the situation. If they don't come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, delaying it will do them no good.

    "We advance by retreating." Chen Ziang said with a smile.

    "Advance by retreat?"

    Li Lang frowned, thinking about the meaning of Chen Ziang's words.

    Seeing the pensive Li Lang, Chen Ziang explained with a smile: "We have been in Luyang Province for a long time, and all the gold, silver, treasures and food we can collect have been collected in our hands, we should leave here too  Going south."

    "General, do you mean that we give up Luyang Province?" Li Lang raised his head and asked.

    Chen Ziang nodded: "Our destination was not Luyang Province in the first place. Staying here for so long is something beyond our plan. Now we should leave."

    "But now we have occupied most of Luyang Province, so we just gave up?"

    Chen Ziang laughed and said, "Why, can't bear it?"

    "It's not that I'm reluctant, it's just that I feel uncomfortable just letting others go."

    "Actually, our active retreat is good for us."

    "Several dynastic armies have marched into Luyang Province. I reckon that they are ulterior motives rather than drinking. Dealing with us is one aspect. Seizing a piece of land may be their intention."

    "These rich and powerful families have used their own army, and the next thing they want is their territory. It is not easy for them to occupy the places controlled by the imperial court, so they can only grab the territory from our rebel army. After all, it is justified.  "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
