    Anling County, Changze Town Qinghe Army Front Command Headquarters.

    "General, the enemy situation has changed."

    Chen Ziang was leaning on the window on the second floor of the tavern to look into the distance. Li Lang, the deputy army commander, went upstairs with the latest report on the enemy situation.

    "What change?"

    Chen Ziang turned his head, his expression didn't fluctuate at all, as if everything was under control.

    Li Lang, deputy head of the army, said: "The Twelfth Banner Regiment of the Moaning River reported that the vanguard of the militia had withdrawn to Anling. Qin Lie, one of the five tigers of the militia, led 60,000 troops to the west bank of the Moaning River."

    "Where's the main force of the civilian army?" Chen Ziang asked.

    Li Lang replied: "Their main force is still in Anling County, a hundred miles away."

    "Our original plan was to deliberately show weakness and lure the enemy to go deep. When the main force of the 20th Corps of the People's Army crossed the river, they attacked halfway. But now they only have 60,000 troops to reach the Moaning River. Once we attack, their follow-up troops  Reinforcements will come up quickly, leaving us in a passive situation."

    "But if we don't attack, their 60,000 troops will be able to cross the Moaning River, enter the boundary of Yunxi Prefecture, threaten Yunxi Prefecture, and greatly increase our pressure."

    Chen Ziang frowned involuntarily after hearing the report from Li Lang, the deputy head of the army.

    The changes in the battlefield situation exceeded their expectations, and now only a part of the enemy has reached the Moaning River.

    However, the enemy's main force falls far behind. If there is any disturbance in the front, they will lure the enemy to go deep, and their plan to encircle and annihilate the opponent in the Moaning River will be ruined.

    "What's the plan for the Chief of Staff?" Chen Ziang asked.

    Li Langdao: "The chief of staff suggested to follow the plan and implement the plan of encircling the spot to fight for aid."

    "Follow the advice of the Chief of Staff, surround the points to send aid, and don't let them cross the Moaning River." Chen Zi'ang thought for a while and ordered.

    In order to deal with the attack of the 20th Corps of the People's Army, Chen Zi'ang and the others have already evacuated the people from the area west of the Moaning River, and implemented a fortified wall to clear the field.

    Now their Yunxi Prefecture can be said to be a waste of time, although only the Anling County is hardened and cleared, but it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to restore it.

    But now if the flames of war are burned to the boundary of Yunxi Prefecture, the people there have not evacuated, nor have they fortified the walls and cleared the fields. Once they fight, their losses will be too great.

    So Chen Ziang's bottom line is that the battle line must be maintained in the area west of the Moan River in Anling County, so as to reduce the impact of the war on Yunxi Mansion.

    "If we implement the plan of encirclement and reinforcements, our current strength is insufficient." Li Lang explained the difficulties they faced.

    Under the leadership of Lei Ming, the Thirteenth Banner Regiment of the Cavalry had already detoured to flank the rear of the 20th Corps of the Militia Army.

    Now they only have the 1st Banner Regiment of the Infantry, the 9th Banner Regiment of the Cavalry, the 12th Banner Regiment of the Infantry and the Guards Banner Regiment with 80,000 troops.

    Moreover, the Guards Banner Regiment, as Chen Ziang's direct unit, is now acting as a reserve team and cannot be easily used.

    It also means that their remaining 60,000 troops not only have to surround the 60,000 enemy troops in the Moaning River, but also have to fight the reinforcements of the main force of the militia.

    "Let's transfer to the Jinwei Banner Regiment, 20,000 elites should be enough to be promoted against 60,000 mobs."

    After thinking for a while, Chen Zi'ang decided to use the Guards Banner Regiment in advance, because their strength was really stretched and they had to be used.

    "But if this happens, we will have no soldiers to use. Once other variables appear, it will be very dangerous."

    Li Lang, the deputy head of the army, has now implemented Chen Ziang's combat thinking, that is, he likes to use the reserve team, and without the reserve team, he always feels uneasy.

    "War is a matter of drawing chestnuts from the fire. It is impossible not to take risks, but I firmly believe that the final victory will eventually belong to us."

    Chen Zi'ang comforted Li Lang, the worried deputy army commander, because in this world, everything has risks. If you are afraid of wolves and tigers, you might as well do nothing well.

    "How about this, you go to command the 1st, 9th and 12th Banner regiments in a unified manner, and be responsible for the reinforcements."

    "Yuan Jie went to sit at the Moanhe River to command the Guards Banner Regiment's siege and attack on the Qin Lie Department of the People's Army."

    "Then I will inform Lao Yuan right away."

    Deputy Army Commander Li Lang quickly left Chen Ziang and went to find Deputy Army Commander Yuan Jie.

    Chen Ziang sent out their two deputy army commanders.??One person is in charge of one area, and coordinates operations as a whole.

    After all, in the past, their Qinghe army had fewer troops, and Chen Ziang often commanded the battle himself.

    But now with the expansion of their Qinghe army, Chen Ziang can no longer personally command the front line.

    Although his headquarters is located in Changze Town in Anling County, it is already considered to be in a war zone.

    However, it is still not possible to have a good grasp of the situation on the battlefield, and people need to come to the front line to take command.

    After all, the heads of the First Banner Regiment, the Ninth Banner Regiment, and the Twelfth Banner Regiment are all at the same level. If they want to cooperate in combat, they also need to establish a unified command.

    Li Lang, the deputy head of the army, was in charge of commanding the three banner regiments. As the deputy head of the army, he was enough to convince the crowd.

    Moreover, Li Lang was on the front line, so he was able to make corresponding adjustments to the troops according to changes in the battlefield situation, so as to avoid the fact that the command headquarters was too far away from the troops, resulting in the inability to effectively grasp the battlefield situation and delaying the opportunity for combat.

    Letting Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, go to the Moanhe battlefield is because Chen Ziang is not at ease with the Guards Banner Regiment.

    After all, the Guards Banner Regiment was established on the basis of the Guards, and has no independent experience in fighting against the enemy, and Li Changqing, the leader of the banner, lacks combat experience, and needs a deputy commander to take command.

    Following an order from the frontline headquarters, the Guards Banner Regiment stationed in Changze Town to defend Chen Ziang quickly began to gather.

    Under the illumination of the torches, groups of soldiers of the Guards Banner Regiment, clad in strong and sharp clothes, marched to the battlefield of the Moaning River with torches under the yelling of the legion.

    Li Lang, the deputy head of the army, rushed to the camp of the 12th Banner Regiment of the Guards under the escort of a team of cavalry, and was going to call the heads of the three banners to discuss reinforcements.

    The units of the Qinghe Army were frequently mobilized at night, and the elite rangers and scouts were also busy. They strangled the scouts of the militia everywhere, and at the same time infiltrated the defense lines of the militia to obtain information.

    A big battle is about to break out, and the scouts and rangers of both sides are already chasing and fighting in the wilderness and forest.

    The 60,000 militia troops led by Qin Lie also rushed to the front line of the Moaning River after a rapid march, taking over the vanguard.

    Qin Lie judged that the Qinghe army was showing signs of retreating and would not put up a strong resistance, so he felt that this was an excellent opportunity to gain military merit, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to the forefront.

    "Quickly check the movement of the bandits around."

    After Qin Lie arrived at the west bank of the Moaning River and set up camp, he immediately dispatched a large number of scouts to investigate the surrounding situation to ensure his own safety.

    After all, the retreat of the Qinghe Army is just his guess, and he still needs further offensive probing, and it is too early to draw conclusions.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
