    The units of the 20th Corps of the People's Army arrived at the front line of Hengchuan County one after another. For a while, the front line of Hengchuan County was heavily populated and the battle clouds were dense.

    Facing the pressure of the 20th Corps of the People's Army, the Second Corps of the Qinghe Army is also actively dispatching troops.

    Teams of soldiers and horses marched to the front line along the newly built official road, and countless food, grass and luggage were transported to the front line of Anling day and night.

    Chen Zi'ang's temporary headquarters of the Second Army also moved forward to a place called Changze Town in the northern part of Anling County.

    In the woods and valleys around Changze Town, the main forces of the Qinghe Army's 12th Banner Regiment of Infantry, Ninth Cavalry and 13th Banner of Cavalry are hiding here.

    Inside and outside Changze Town, the Guards Banner Regiment directly under Chen Ziang was in charge of guarding. The people in the town were screaming, messengers, officers of all levels and staff hurriedly shuttled around.

    The snorting horses and serious-looking soldiers enveloped the town in a chilling atmosphere. The local residents hid at home and observed the situation outside in anxiety.

    Fortunately, the Qinghe Army has strict military discipline, and military police wearing red armbands are patrolling everywhere, but nothing has happened to harass the people.

    "The 31st Scout Team of the First Banner Regiment reported that about ten battalions and more than 50,000 civilian troops have gathered in the northern part of Hengchuan County."

    "The Fifth Scout Team of the First Banner Regiment reported that General Qin Feng of Xiaoqi had arrived in Hengchuan County at noon."

    "The Intelligence and Investigation Department reported that the 20th Corps of the People's Army is expected to launch the first wave of tentative attacks tomorrow morning."

    "The units of my 12th Banner Regiment have arrived at their predetermined positions."

    "My Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry has arrived at the predetermined location."

    "The surrounding areas of Anling County have been fortified and cleared, and the people have all retreated to Yanglong Town to evacuate and hide."

    In a tavern in Changze Town, more than a dozen wooden tables have been pieced together, and a newly built sand table is placed on top of it.

    This sand table covers Anling County controlled by the Qinghe Army, and Hengchuan, Feng County, and Xifeng County controlled by the 20th Corps of the People's Army.

    The sand table was made by Chen Ziang himself and taught to the staff of the staff. Now most of the towns and rivers in the war zone can be clearly seen on the sand table.

    Now the small black and white flags marked on the sand table represent the positions of the enemy and us, and each small flag represents 5,000 people.

    Surrounding Hengchuan County, there are now densely packed white flags, which represent the positions of the units of the 20th Corps of the People's Army.

    The place where the small black flag is inserted is the location where the troops of the Qinghe Army gather. They are relatively scattered and gather in the surrounding areas of Anling County.

    In addition to the fairly intuitive sand table made by Chen Ziang where you can see the deployment of troops on both sides, there is also a huge military map hanging on the wall of the tavern, with more detailed roads and rivers.

    There are more than 50 people in the staff department of the Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army. They are divided into several groups, and they are busy busy, collecting pieces of information, and drawing up a new response plan.

    ?Leave the staff of the staff to analyze and summarize the enemy's situation with all their strength. Chen Ziang, Li Lang, and Yuan Jie, the two army chiefs, are much more relaxed. They just need to control the general direction.

    "General, the first battle plan of our staff department is to prepare for the withdrawal of the First Banner Regiment at midnight, voluntarily abandon Anling County, and let them lure the enemy deep into the Moan River east of Anling County."

    "When the civilian army crossed the river, the Ninth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry attacked them halfway across the river. At the same time, the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry went to the outside line and broke into Hengchuan County from the flank"

    The combat plan proposed by the Chief of Staff is very simple, that is, under the spirit of Chen Ziang's instructions, abandon the city, focus on mobile forces, and eliminate the enemy's vital forces during the movement.

    And they also preset a huge battlefield, which is to use the vast area of ??Hengchuan and Anling counties as the battlefield.

    The main force of the Qinghe Army moved in front to lure the enemy deep to eliminate the enemy, while a cavalry flag regiment circled behind the enemy and launched an attack on the enemy's flanks.

    "What's your opinion?"

    After Chen Ziang heard the battle plan reported by the chief of staff, he did not express his opinion immediately, but turned his attention to Li Lang and Yuan Jie, the deputy army commanders.

    "I agree. Our goal in the first stage is to drag the enemy within the territory of Anling County, avoiding the spread of war in other areas of my Yunxi Prefecture, and at the same time eliminate their vital forces as much as possible."

    "The second stage is to concentrate superior forces and constantly nibble and eat them.  "

    "The 20th Corps of the People's Army now has nearly 200,000 troops. Although our troops are high-spirited and not weak, we must not underestimate the enemy. We must reserve at least one banner regiment for emergencies." Yuan Jie, deputy head of the regiment  proposed to say.

    "The Guards Banner Regiment does not move first, and the other units act according to your plan."

    Chen Ziang quickly signed his name and stamped on the battle plan reported by the Chief of Staff.

    After Li Lang and Yuan Jie signed their names, the staff member of the staff department gave a military salute, then turned around and went straight to the military justice department next door.

    When Chen Ziang and the others had approved the battle plan of the Department of Staff, the 20th Corps of the People's Army also convened a front-line battle meeting in the county government of Hengchuan County.

    The meeting was presided over by Qin Feng, General Xiaoqi of the 20th Corps of the People's Army. All the officers above the battalion general were on the list. There were too many people, so they had to be held in the courtyard of the county government.

    "According to reports from the spies, more than 20,000 rebel troops have entered the opposite Anling County recently, and are strengthening the city. It seems that they want to defend the city."

    When hearing the enemy's report, the generals at all levels of the civilian army were full of contempt, because facing their nearly 200,000 troops, they hadn't taken the opponent's 20,000 people seriously.

    "The people we planted in Yunxi Mansion also sent back news that the bandit army is dispatching troops, and many troops are rushing here one after another."

    "We have an army of 200,000, and the bandit army is like a cart!" A general sneered.

    "Yes, as long as our army crushes it, the bandit army will definitely be defeated!"

    "Everyone, although we have a strong army, the bandit army should not be underestimated. The Black Cavalry Army and Imperial Guard Army of the imperial court were all defeated by them."

    Seeing these arrogant generals, Xiaoqi General Qin Feng was also very happy to see their high morale, but he still reminded one more thing.

    "In this battle, our 20th Corps of the People's Army will win and never return!"

    "I'm here to remind everyone that anyone who hesitates and retreats without authorization, no matter who it is, will be killed without mercy!"

    "Follow the general's order!"

    The generals of the civilian army all roared in unison, fighting with high spirits.

    "Xu Yong!"

    "The end is here!"

    "I'll transfer you two battalions, add your troops and horses, get up in the middle of the night to cook, and attack in the fifth watch. As the vanguard of the whole army, you are limited to capture Anling in one day. Can you do it?"

    General Xiaoqi Qin Feng stared at the general Xu Yong who had stepped forward. He also had high hopes for Xu Yong, a titan, and hoped that he could win the battle.

    "Father, there are 20,000 bandit troops stationed in Anling City, why don't you give him more time."

    The second son Qin Yun frowned when he heard that his father had asked Xu Yong to capture Anling within a day, and stood up to help him speak.

    The boss, Qin Lie, was on the sidelines and said: "Second brother, you look down on General Xu. Isn't he invincible and invincible? I don't think it will take a day, just give him half a day."

    "I don't need half a day, give me two hours, and I can take Anling!"

    Xu Yong glanced indifferently at the boss Qin Lie next to him, and his words were astonishing.

    "Xu Yong, you have to know that there are no jokes in the army." Xiaoqi General Qin Feng also reminded.

    "General, if I can't take Anling within two hours, I will cut off my head to apologize. If I take Anling, can I get a deputy general? This general is too small." Xu Yong  Said carelessly.

    "Ha ha ha ha¡ª¡ª"

    After hearing Xu Yong's careless words, Qin Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

    "As long as you can win Anling within two hours, let alone a mere deputy general, I can ask the imperial court for credit and make you a real general!"

    Qin Feng also offered a generous bargaining chip in front of everyone in order to boost morale.

    "Thank you, General!"

    Xu Yong immediately thanked him, making Qin Yun who was standing aside couldn't help frowning, feeling that Xu Yong was too reckless.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
