On May 19, 699 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Situ Tai issued an order, in view of the fact that the defenders of Yunzhong City did not obey the orders of the county guards of Yanyun County and had the intention of rebellion, and ordered the first, second, third, The fifth and fourth divisions entered Yunzhong in two ways to take over the Yunzhong regime, and at the same time, the Biao Guard Corps of the Duotun Kingdom also followed closely and advanced westward along Yanshan Mansion to officially join the civil war of the Tang River Empire, and with the support of some conservative nobles loyal to Situ Tai, the private army formed by some large land nobles also announced that they would join Situ Tai's side, set off a rebellion in Yunzhong, hunted down and killed the city guards, sent officials to support the gentry in the western Xinjiang, and the situation in Yunzhong deteriorated sharply. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In view of the unstable situation in the north, he will form the 15th Army Corps of the Imperial Empire with the 1st Division of the Northern Military Region and the 120th Regiment of the Eastern Military Region to undertake the defense tasks within his jurisdiction. The Twelfth Army Corps, which had already begun to take on heavy responsibilities, was fully pressed east from the front line of Cangzhou and Zhongzhou under the leadership of the corps commander Liu Ping, and the Central Plains War was about to break out.

It should be said that Kamapov's early reminder and preparation played a very important role, and before he noticed that the situation in Yunzhong was erosive, Kamapov, who had always been calm, accepted the suggestion of Yue Shan, the commander of the Second Division, and transferred some grass-roots officers from various divisions under his command, and seconded some of the graduating cadets from the Northwest Military Academy to enrich the Yunzhong Garrison Division in one go.

Although it is only a garrison division, the officers and cadets who are transferred are promoted by one level almost as soon as they take office, which is almost unimaginable in the Western Xinjiang Army, which has always attached great importance to military merits, and Kamapov also told the officers in public that as long as the Central Plains War starts, the Western Xinjiang Army will inevitably be expanded, and as long as the Yunzhong Garrison Division performs well, it will be the first choice for expansion. Thinking about the fact that Yunzhong may be the first battlefield for the outbreak of war, this kind of opportunity is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for officers and soldiers who are eager for military merits, so although the Yunzhong Garrison Division has not yet reached the full strength of the five wings in terms of the number of soldiers, the officers in the four wings that have been formed are without exception served by the old men in the Western Xinjiang Army, which has greatly helped the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the entire garrison division and the development of training.

Almost as soon as he received the news from the patrol, Ma Liancheng sent a signal of the outbreak of war to the Fifth Army of the Western Frontier Army, which was already waiting in the border area of Yunzhong, and he was not even too late or willing to verify the real surname of this information. As a wing commander of the Fifth Legion, Ma Liancheng is already a veteran officer in the Fifth Legion, although he was born in the Snow Mountain Sect, he is not a guard who is good at martial arts, but he is outstanding in tactical training. However, he was the first batch of veterans when the Guards Division was established, from the captain to the squadron leader to the deputy captain, the Tengger grassland and the Luope people that cruel and bloody battle still appears in his dreams from time to time, and it is precisely because of his outstanding performance in that battle, although even the division commander Song Tianxiong was dismissed, but it did not affect his promotion, from a deputy captain of the Guards Division (the first division of the Fifth Army) suddenly jumped to the deputy captain of the first division, and then to the captain of the third wing of the second division, he can be described as prosperous, and the commander of the regiment also took a fancy to his sophistication, careful and resourceful, so this time he was even more unusually pushed to the position of the commander of the Yunzhong Garrison Division.

Although it was only a garrison division and it was still incomplete, Ma Liancheng knew that there were still many people competing for this position in the entire Fifth Army Corps in this position, and even the deputy division commander within the regiment also took a fancy to this garrison unit located in the core of the front line, but the corps commander finally pushed himself to this position despite public opinion. If it weren't for the fact that the Western Xinjiang Military Justice Department was known for its strictness and harshness, Ma Liancheng believed that there would definitely be people who suspected that there was any personal relationship between him and the corps commander, but Ma Liancheng had a clear conscience, and he also proved himself to those who doubted his ability with his performance for more than a month.

It took only one month for Ma Liancheng to reorganize a garrison unit with a scattered style and lack of training to a garrison division of considerable scale. Originally, half of the more than 4,000 soldiers had been dismissed, and a large number of militia groups with certain combat experience were recruited from the few civilian armed forces that dared to rise up to resist during the invasion of the Poole and were then disbanded.

In the war room established after the regular division, the personnel shuttled non-stop, and a large proportion of the geographical topography of the clouds occupied the entire western wall, Rao is Ma Liancheng was praised by Kamapov as "sophisticated and calm", but at this time he couldn't help sweating like rain, the information from the scouts and the intelligence transmitted by the military intelligence army had been sent comprehensively, and while the horse was sent to the corps headquarters that had already set off for the east, Ma Liancheng's heart sank.

The scale of the enemy who launched the attack was much larger than he imagined or even the original legion had imagined, in addition to the four main divisions of the Second Army of the Empire, and the Biao Guard Corps of the Dotun Kingdom, more than 160,000 troops pressed towards Yunzhong Fucheng from the third road, which was almost overwhelming Ma Liancheng.

If it weren't for the fact that he had made a lot of preparations in advance for the terrain in Yunzhong Mansion, Ma Liancheng would have no confidence that he would still be able to sit here, but he was afraid that he would have ordered the people of the whole city to evacuate from this somewhat dilapidated Yunzhong Mansion City.

From the map, it can be seen how unfavorable the location of Yunzhong Fucheng is for the Western Xinjiang side. The entire Yunzhong Mansion area is irregular oval, but the location of the Yunzhong Mansion City is far away from the central position that the Fucheng should be located according to common sense, it is only one hundred and ten miles away from the territory of Beiping, but it is two hundred and thirty miles away from the Qinghe border in the southwest, and two hundred and sixty miles away from the Yulin border in the northwest.

This was nothing, but perhaps it was His Royal Highness the King of Qin who was unwilling to stimulate the other party or because the Western Front was tight and the Western Front wanted to delay the development of the Eastern Front as much as possible, so the Fifth Army received an order not to enter the Yunzhong before the Emperor [***] team entered the territory of Yunzhong, in other words, the Western Xinjiang Army could only enter after the Emperor [***] team launched an attack on Yunzhong first. This should be a rather failed design in terms of tactics, the proverb of the military proverb that the latter strikes the people will not be invalid at any time, if you want to do the enemy do not move, I will not move the enemy, I will move first, this situation is purely a beautiful idea, Ma Liancheng believes that at least in the current state is like this, but the political needs can only be made up for at the expense of tactical advantages at some times, although Ma Liancheng also knows that the dense northern spies in Yunzhong Mansion are always watching here, hoping to find some basis for action. Even the Yunzhong Garrison Division had to change into a completely different military uniform from the Western Xinjiang Army, which was purely redundant in Ma Liancheng's opinion, but it had to be carried out, but this did not affect the preparations that Ma Liancheng wanted to make from other aspects.

The black arrows on the map are as uncomfortable as inserted in Ma Liancheng's heart, the enemy is very fierce, although he has arranged a lot of ugly means to deal with it, but how much can it play, can he survive until the arrival of reinforcements, Ma Liancheng has no bottom in his heart, one thing is certain, if the enemy army rushes to complete the siege before the arrival of reinforcements, then the only ending of this defense system congenitally insufficient Fucheng has fallen, and he can only do his best, although Ma Liancheng himself is not willing, but the corps commander puts himself in this position, and if he really comes to that point, he can only sacrifice himself。

"Has the northern route been completely destroyed?" Ma Liancheng's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and some reddened eyes were matched with slightly distorted cheeks, looking less like an officer commanding a battle, but more like a gambler with red-eyed eyes when he lost.

"Division commander, we have destroyed the sandwich road in the area of Qilin Mountain, and the Duotun people have to detour to Sanyuan Liangzi if they want to cross that area, and we have also sent people to set fire to them along the Sanyuan Liangzi area to divert their attention, according to intelligence, the number of baggage of the Duoton people is relatively large, and it will take at least one more day to detour to Sanyuan Liangzi, I estimate that they will forcibly open the road with sappers, but even this will have to delay for at least half a day, what I am worried about is not the northern line, although the Duotun people have an inner line to lead the way, but they are not familiar with the terrain here after all, and the advance speed is not much faster even if they want to, but the central and southern lines are more dangerous。 The one who answered Ma Liancheng was the chief of staff, this is the chief of staff personally selected by Ma Liancheng, a deputy wing commander who has been trained by the Northwest Military Academy, and under his strong recommendation, he was also promoted to the chief of staff of the division and regiment.

"Well, although the enemy on the northern front is the strongest, it is not what we need to consider the most now, that is the legion commander's heart, our first task is to completely hand over this city to the corps commander, if we can't do this, our division and thousands of people are derelict in their duties, and you and I can only go to the military court. Now the most dangerous is the middle line, the distance is the shortest, and the enemy attacks the fastest, and now it will be up to us to see if our move can work. When he said this, Ma Liancheng couldn't help but clench his palms that were already soaked with sweat.
