    ? In the central part of Daning Province, banners were flying, swords and guns were like a forest, and the Far East Field Army with a well-organized military appearance was marching along the road.

    Suddenly, several scouts in front of them galloped towards the marching team where the Chinese army was.

    "Master Deputy Legion Commander, there is a situation ahead!"

    A scout officer reined in his horse in front of a general wearing a cloak, and reported loudly.

    "speak."

    The majestic general spoke crisply.

    "A large number of refugees are coming forward. According to what they said, they all fled from the direction of Ganquan Mansion and Mingluo Mansion."

    "They provided an important piece of news, that is, the Desert Empire crossed the border a few days ago and has now captured Ganquan Mansion and other places"

    The scout officer quickly reported the information he had obtained to Xu Yong, the commander of the Sixth Field Army.

    "The desert empire launched an attack on us?"

    "Has Ganquan Mansion fallen?"

    After hearing what the scout officer said, Xu Yong, head of the Sixth Field Army, and the accompanying generals also changed their expressions.

    Legion Commander Xu Yong received an order from the court more than half a month ago, asking him to hand over the defense of Qinghe Province to Li Tiechui, Deputy Commander of the Security Corps.

    Their Field Sixth Army is going to move to Daning Province to strengthen the defense of the northwest region of the empire.

    However, what Xu Yong never expected was that before they arrived at the provincial capital of Daning, the desert empire actually attacked, and several prefectures and counties on the border had already fallen.

    "Do you know how many troops the Desert Empire has?"

    Xu Yong, the head of the army, quickly recovered from the shock, and hurriedly asked the scout officer.

    "Reporting to the head of the legion, those are some fleeing civilians, and they did not provide valuable information." The scout officer said with embarrassment.

    After learning of the attack of the Desert Empire, the scouts were all shocked, so they hurried back to report without further detailed inquiry.

    "The army stops advancing, stay alert!"

    Suddenly learned that the Desert Empire was aggressively attacking, and he didn't know the strength of the opponent's troops, so Xu Yong, the head of the army, made a decisive decision and ordered to stop the advance.

    "Order the heads of the banners to come and see me quickly!"

    Xu Yong also got off his horse and ordered the banner heads of each banner group to come to a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

    Soon, the heads of the various banners and the chief of staff of the Sixth Army, Sima Rui, hurried over.

    Seeing the dignified faces of Legion Chief Xu Yong and Deputy Legion Chief Wang Hu, Chief of Staff Sima Rui also realized that something was wrong.

    "What happened?" Chief of Staff Sima Rui asked.

    "I just got the news that the Desert Empire has invaded on a large scale. Now it has occupied Mingluo Mansion, Ganquan Mansion and other places. I have sent people to inquire, and I should be able to get more news later." Xu Yong, the army leader, said in a deep voice.

    "The desert empire actually used troops against me in the Far East?!"

    Hearing that the desert empire unexpectedly attacked their Far East Empire unexpectedly, the Chief of Staff Sima Rui was also taken aback.

    They are aware of the so-called ultimatum issued by the Desert Empire to the court of the Far East Empire. They just think that the Desert Empire's control is too wide, and they are not easy to care about.

    They are now ordered to move to Daning Province, and it is also because the imperial court wants to guard against the desert empire, after all, they are well prepared.

    Who knew that the Desert Empire would be a fool, and they would start a fight if they didn't agree with each other, which made Xu Yong and the others quite unaccustomed, because all kinds of intelligence showed that the Desert Empire was not ready to attack.

    After all, if the army goes out, it will definitely gather a large number of troops, transport food and fodder, and scout to spy on intelligence.

    But all these desert empires were not prepared. After they figured out the reality of the Far East Empire, they directly let the first army on the border launch an attack.

    Because the desert empire has absolute confidence, that is, relying on their border troops is enough to complete strategic tasks.

    This is also the reason why the Far East Intelligence Investigation Institute was lurking inside the desert empire, but failed to figure out the desert empire's intelligence.

    The Desert Empire's attack was beyond everyone's expectations. When the intelligence personnel of the Far East Empire reacted, the First Frontier Army of the Desert Empire had already crossed the border.

    "The Desert Empire attacked Daning Province, and Daning Province has only one security banner group, and it is scattered in various prefectures and counties, so the entire Daning Province is almost undefended." Xu Yong said in a deep voice.

    "This time the desert empire came prepared, they??Being able to quickly conquer Ganquan Mansion and other places may not be far away from us.  "

    "The most important thing now is that we don't know how many troops they have, and we don't know where the main direction of their attack is, so if we continue to move forward, we are very likely to encounter them."

    In front of the senior generals of the Field Sixth Army, Xu Yong also bluntly pointed out the problems they are facing now.

    "Now in the entire Daning Province, we are the only army of the Sixth Field Army. Once we fall into the siege of the desert empire, no army will come to relieve the siege in a short time."

    The Far East Empire has a vast territory. Although there are more than a dozen legions in formation, in addition to stationing strategically important places, they also have to face the pressure of several major powers.

    In fact, in the hinterland areas such as Hexi, Luyang, and Yunmeng provinces, there are no field regiments stationed, only the local security flag regiments.

    Their Field Sixth Army was originally stationed in Qinghe Province, but they wanted to frighten several surrounding provinces and regions, and they needed to be dispatched quickly if something happened.

    Now they have gone north to Daning Province, although Li Tiehammer led the security forces of the three banner regiments to fill their original positions.

    But once their Field Sixth Army was in trouble, it would be difficult for Li Tiehammer and their three banner regiments to get out of the siege.

    Moreover, Li Tiechui and the others were stationed in Qinghe Province, and they had to deter the surrounding provinces and counties, so they could not be easily transferred.

    "So we must first ensure our own safety. Once our Sixth Field Army is finished, the entire northwestern part of the empire will be open." Chief of Staff Sima Rui also echoed.

    "I suggest that it is not appropriate to continue to advance, but to retreat fifty miles and fortify on the Ganshui line."

    Most of the terrain in Daning Province is relatively flat. Except for some towns that can be defended, there is almost no danger for the army to defend in the wild.

    It is precisely because of this that Wang Hu, the deputy army commander, suggested that they retreat fifty miles and rely on the Ganshui River in Daning Province to build a line of defense.

    "What's your opinion?"

    Legion Commander Xu Yongxuan immediately set his sights on the rest.

    "Once we retreat to the Ganshui River for defense, wouldn't we have to hand over half of the Daning province? Once the court blames it, it will be difficult to explain."

    ? Sun Feng, head of the 27th Banner, said worriedly.

    "The enemy's situation is unknown. If you advance rashly, you will easily encounter the enemy, and you will fall into the Sixth Army and a dangerous place."

    "There is no danger around here to defend, so retreating to the Ganshui River is the best choice. If something happens, I, Xu Yong, will bear it all."

    As the head of the Sixth Field Army, Xu Yong was more courageous than the head of the banner under his command, so he made a decision immediately.

    "Let's issue an order. If the court blames us, we will bear it together." Chief of Staff Sima Rui and Deputy Army Chief Wang Hu also said.

    "Okay, immediately send an order to retreat fifty miles, and deploy defenses along the Ganshui River!"

    After discussing less than a stick of incense, the Sixth Field Army Corps, which was heading towards the capital of Daning Province, turned quickly.

    Their rear team changed to the front team, and quickly retreated towards the Ganshui River fifty miles away, trying to rely on the Ganshui River to deploy defenses.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
