The news from all sides proved his hunch, although the intelligence department has not been accurately confirmed, but it has made Cui Wenxiu's heart fall, after sending an urgent letter to His Royal Highness King Qin, what Cui Wenxiu can do is probably to immediately carry out war mobilization and prepare for a big war that may break out at any time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The four divisions of the Fifth Army Corps were responsible for the defense of Yunzhong, and the two Gerok Wehrmacht Corps plus the direct divisions of the Zelok Corps moved east to take over the defense of Yulin.

It seems that the northern defense line is quite complete, the Fifth Army bears the main pressure, the six divisions of the Northern Army from Beiping in the east plus the two large corps of the Dodon people, nearly 300,000 troops, almost 300,000 troops, so that Kamapov is almost out of breath, and the Yunzhong Garrison Division is also directly used by Kamapov as the main force, so that he can barely make up a whole corps, and the disparity in strength is three to one.

Everything that should be done has been done, and now Cui Wenxiu's only hope is that the several ranger regiments returning east from the Tengger grassland can return to their own defense area as quickly as possible, the threat of the Luope people has basically disappeared, and it may even become a big help for their own side in the near future, so there is not much need to retain the existing ranger regiment on the East Tengger grassland, Cui Wenxiu has obtained the consent of His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Military Affairs Bureau, and the six ranger regiments will be transferred to the northern theater of operations, which is always enough to make anyone daunted, and hitting anywhere is enough to make the skin open there。 But the Ranger regiment that has been helping the Luope people stabilize the situation on the Tengger grassland has returned too late, and Cui Wenxiu has always hoped that the war he predicted can break out later, as long as the four Ranger regiments can join his own war zone, then he will be much more relaxed in his own planning, but what he can think of, the enemy will also think that no one will give the opponent such a chance.

September 1, 699 in the Gregorian calendar of the mainland, this seems to be a very ordinary day, but the heavens are destined to become the most important day in the history of the Eastern Continent, almost on the same day, the three battlefields in the northern land of the empire almost simultaneously ignited the beacon fire.

At the suggestion of Yanovsky, the deputy minister of the Poole army and commander of the royal guards cavalry regiment, the three corps were reorganized, and the light cavalry formed an assault group, and in one day, the 70,000 light cavalry of the three corps crossed more than 300 miles of land in the southeast corner of Kaman, and went straight to the territory of Yulin. The two Gerok Wehrmacht Corps that were conducting the Adaptation Exercise on the border of Van Rim and Kaman were caught off guard and were divided and surrounded by 70,000 Poole light cavalry in one fell swoop, and the two Gerok Wehrmacht Corps only resisted for less than a day and collapsed on the whole line, except for less than 5,000 people who broke through the encirclement of the Pooles, the remaining 50,000 people were all killed. At the same time, the remaining army of the Poole people moved quickly south along the border between Yunzhong and Yulin, and attacked the city of Yulin, which was garrisoned by only one division of the Gerlock Regiment in Western Xinjiang.

On September 4, when it was learned that the enemy's army, which was ten times larger than his own, was about to complete the siege of Yulin City, the division directly under the Gerok Corps, which had received orders from his superiors, withdrew from Yulin City in a gloomy manner. At the same time, the two corps of the Dotun Kingdom and the six main divisions of Situ Tai were launched at the same time, and pressed towards Yunzhong Mansion City in two directions from northeast to southwest and from east to west, and advanced to the city of Yunzhong within two days, and the army of Poole who captured Yulin City had also turned to the east, forming a thick encirclement posture for the entire Yunzhong Province.

On the same day of September 1, the Imperial City Guard Legion and the Imperial Third Army jointly sent troops into the territory of the Imperial Fourteenth Army Corps, asking the Imperial Fourteenth Army to give up the defense area for reorganization, but they were refused, and the Imperial City Guard Legion and the Imperial Third Army tried to forcibly disarm the Imperial Fourteenth Legion, and the conflict between the two sides suddenly turned into a major war.

Lan Bailin never imagined that the Imperial City Guard Legion and the Third Legion would suddenly enter the defense area of the Fourteenth Legion at this time, and directly announced the ultimatum of disarming to himself, which was naturally unacceptable, no matter from any point of view, disarming in this way was to announce the end of his political life, whether as the second young master of the Taiping Sect or as the commander of the Fourteenth Legion of the Empire, he never considered this suggestion. But he also knew that the actual combat effectiveness of his 14th Army Corps had fallen to the lowest point, and he had been stationed here for many years, and the supplies and funds had been intermittent, and then the surname Suo was replenished only once every two or three months, and it was impossible to maintain the normal expenses of the army, and there were heavy guards from all sides around him, and he could not even go out to do the bandit act again, and the soldiers deserted dozens of people almost every day, and the officers could not suppress it, not to mention that they were also full of stomachs, and they did not have much heart to ask about these things。

Although he reached a surrender agreement with Xijiang, Bo Jinchen's high position in Xijiang and Xu Wenzhe's drifting departure made Lan Bailin have a lot of scruples, which is also one of the reasons why he has been procrastinating and perfunctory towards Bo Jinchen, and Situ Tai's conditions for him also made him excited, although in the end Bo Jinchen's sincerity finally moved him, but he lost a long period of opportunity to adjust and enrich, and at the same time, Xijiang also had a little doubt about his first rat. This is reflected in the fact that the efficiency of the secret replenishment given to the Fourteenth Legion is not so high, and because Lan Bailin himself has always adopted an attitude of blocking news from the middle and lower ranks of the Fourteenth Legion, the progress of this adjustment and replenishment has become even slower.

When the Imperial City Guard Legion and the Third Legion approached the city and demanded that they disarm themselves with an extremely tough attitude, Lan Bailin realized how unwise his initial hesitation was, either to simply surrender to the Western Frontier, or to pursue Situ Tai with a clear banner, but this wavering attitude delayed too much time and made him taste the bitter fruit.

Yusuf did not give Lan Bailin any chance, and when Lan Bailin proposed to appeal to the Central Military Affairs Administration of the Reich, the Imperial City Guard Legion and the Third Army directly rejected Lan Bailin's request, and presented an order from the Imperial [***] General Administration, demanding that the Imperial Fourteenth Army unconditionally surrender its weapons and accept the reorganization, otherwise it will be punished as treason, and the Imperial City Guard Legion and the Third Army can forcibly disarm each other in any way.

The war broke out, and after Lan Bailin said that he needed three days to think about it, Yusuf and Bai Shengjian, the commander of the Third Imperial Legion, agreed to give each other two days to consider, but that night, the Imperial City Guard Legion and the Third Legion launched a surprise attack, they had no intention of solving it by peaceful means, all this was just to paralyze Lan Bailin's mind.

Looking at all this in front of him, Lan Bailin, whose eyes were bloodshot, regretted it, although he had made various preparations, but the combat effectiveness of the city guards was obviously not comparable to his own troops, the fierce imperial city guards only took three hours to destroy the defense lines of the two divisions and regiments that they had laid at the forefront, and when the two divisions were defeated and retreated, there were only less than 5,000 people left, and the rest of the soldiers were either killed and surrendered, or fled in all directions and became deserters.

Originally, the fortifications of the garrison of the 14th Army Corps were not aimed at the threat from the east, and the defensive ring around Yanjing had always been focused on the north and west. Most of the sentry towers are in a horn or semi-arc state pointing to the west or north, never thought that this time the assault was from the east, Lan Bailin urgently adjusted the deployment after receiving the opponent's ultimatum, but such a large-scale adjustment is obviously not something that can be completed in a day, and the other party didn't even give himself half a day, and launched an attack on two fronts only three hours later.

"Second Young Master, let's retreat quickly, the enemy's attack intensity is too strong, the city guards are worthy of being several trump cards of the empire, our brothers' training has been abandoned for so long, they can't resist their impact at all, if we don't leave, the third army of the empire in the south also breaks through the defense line, we won't be able to go." With a look of panic, he hurriedly broke into the room and urged Lan Bailin, who was a little dazed.

"Let's go, where are we going? Without the army, where can we go? Do you think that Western Xinjiang will accept us without an army in our hands, you think too simply, even if we accept us, we can only see people's faces and be popular. Are you willing to live this kind of life?" Lan Bailin sat in the chair and did not move, the expression on his face was a little strange, as if he was recalling something, and after a long time, he sighed slightly and said: "Are the reserves ready? Now it's time for me Lan Bailin to embody the spirit of the Taiping Army soldiers." ”

"Second Young Master, you" was about to say anything more with a loyal look on his face, but was resolutely interrupted by Lan Bailin: " Needless to say, I have made up my mind, even if I fail, I will personally participate in this battle, we can fail, but I, Lan Bailin, can't be defeated without a fight, I don't want to leave a reputation in history for fleeing without a fight, as for the Western Xinjiang side, Zhaolin, if this battle is lost, you lead the brothers to retreat westward, go to Bo Xiang, Bo Xiang is a person who misses the old, the original thing is that I am sorry for him, sorry for the senior brother, let all this become a memory now. ”

Seeing his boss so decisive, the man who was called Zhaolin couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't cry, "Okay, let's go, it's time." Pushing away the deployment, Lan Bailin glanced at the room with nostalgia and walked out resolutely.
