The news that Suancheng was occupied by unknown militants quickly spread in Anju after an infantry battalion of the Anju Brigade was stationed. For this supply depot that connects Anzhou with the border garrison, the importance is self-evident.

It's just that at present, except for the number of garrisons on the border with a slight reserve, the garrisons of the rest of the cities themselves are not much, and if they want to transfer troops to recapture Shui'an City, it will undoubtedly lead to the fall of these troops in the city and the empty county.

Moreover, there are bandits attacking towns and villages in various parts of Anzhou Prefecture, and there are even some bandits who want to seize the county seat. When the forces of each city are slightly insufficient to protect themselves, where can they draw troops to recapture Shui'an City?

In desperation, the military and political chief of Anzhou Mansion could only report the news. It is hoped that the garrison on the border will be transferred. Before the matter is a foregone conclusion, recapture Shui'an City. Otherwise, the troops stationed at the border will be in danger of running out of ammunition and food, and a situation of confrontation that is not good for the original calm will be broken.

Regarding the erosive situation in Anzhou Mansion, Ning Qingyuan undoubtedly had a headache, although he also guessed. There must be an unknown purpose behind this large-scale bandit attack. I hope that the mess under his rule, in addition to the revolutionary army that is eyeing the tiger, is undoubtedly the Xu family army that is not easy to provoke like a hedgehog.

Originally, he thought that these bandits were very likely to have something to do with Xu Jiajun, and they could report according to their intelligence department in Linzhou. Today's Linzhou territory is calm, and there is no sign of the army's action at all. It's just that they know that after the combat mission is issued, these secretly moving armies are almost all marching at night and resting during the day.

Those units that get up and train in the barracks as usual are basically joint defense team members who are temporarily selected from the surrounding areas to train at these regimental units. It was this method of stealing the day, coupled with the habitual misleading war reports, that made the Gannan army not realize for the time being that the Xu Jiajun had quietly opened the net and was ready to snatch the dominance of Gannan with the Gannan army.

In order to ensure that the situation in Anzhou Prefecture was as chaotic as possible, Ning Qingyuan strongly demanded that the local military and political chief must quell the bandits as soon as possible. For the main division of Gannan stationed on the border, let it transfer a main regiment, a team of nearly 2,000 people with artillery and other heavy weapons, ready to recapture Shui'an City in one fell swoop, so as to solve the supply crisis of the border garrison.

Bai Diantang, who had already moved to the border mountains to wait, learned that this main division of Gannan, which numbered nearly 10,000 people, had transferred a main force regiment and retained a troop of nearly six or seven thousand people. I feel that it is undoubtedly a bit risky to attack the garrison on the border at this time. On the contrary, it seems that the chances of success are higher when fighting this main regiment of 2,000 men.

Bai Diantang, who had thought about these things clearly, temporarily changed the combat jihua and sent an attack force composed of elite scouts to slow down the march of this main force of Gannan. At the same time, they, the main forces of the Anzhou tribe, made a detour to the road where the main force must pass and set up an ambush, preparing to defeat the reinforcements of the main force drawn by the border troops in one fell swoop.

When the main regiment, which had walked less than ten miles in one day, was tired and tired of moving into a small village next to the official road, the sudden sound of gunfire in the middle of the night made these officers and soldiers of the main regiment who did not realize who they were fighting with. I was awakened by the fierce gunfire that rang out in the middle of the night, and what followed was the sweep of the Anzhou Brigade.

They pulled out the artillery that was ready to be used for the siege, but they didn't have time to fire a single shell, and they were captured intact by the Anzhou brigade that came in the middle of the night. It took less than an hour to attack, but it took nearly two hours to capture the prisoners, and before the sky was bright, the Anzhou Brigade, which had been raided, quickly cleaned up the battlefield and disappeared into the vast mountains next to the small village under the leadership of Bai Diantang.

It wasn't until the sky was bright that some of the soldiers of the main regiment who had escaped by taking advantage of the night got up from their hiding places with palpitations and fled back to the border with a look of embarrassment. Let the commander of the main division of the Gannan Army stationed here report the news of the annihilation of their entire army.

As for the targets of the attack, these officers and soldiers who fled back to see them were very fast because it was too dark and the other side was very fast. I only know that these people are not wearing standard military uniforms, but on the contrary, they are all kinds of people's clothing. Even the weapons used were mostly rifles made in the Sun Country used by the revolutionary army.

Therefore, the commander of the main division judged that many of the troops that infiltrated Anzhou to cause chaos may have been the work of the revolutionary army that was modified to conceal its true identity. But what puzzled him was that the defenders of the revolutionary army on the opposite side seemed to be very calm. During this period of time, it can be said that he is not even lazy to put cold guns and cold guns, so how can he highlight the strange soldiers to come to Anzhou to make trouble?

I really couldn't understand who asked the main force to be attacked in the middle of the night, so the commander of the main force could only reluctantly report the information to Ning Qingyuan. Seeing a main regiment drawn from the border, it was completely annihilated without even catching the shadow of the enemy. Ning Qingyuan, who has increased his anger a lot recently, also scolded these commanders.

As for the speculation of the main division commander, in Ning Qingyuan's opinion, it is equivalent to not saying it, the equipment of the Sun Country is not only owned by the revolutionary army. The weapons and equipment of the Third Division of the Revolutionary Army captured by Xu Jiajun last time were also quite a lot. Therefore, to only get such information is like not getting it.

Ning Qingyuan, who really couldn't think of a way, could only ask all the troops on the border to take up their positions, ready to prevent a sneak attack by the revolutionary army at any time, and at the same time draw a 1,000-strong force from the six or seven thousand defenders. Cooperate with the two city defense battalions near Shui'an City to attack Shui'an City together, and strive to solve the crisis of Shui'an City's occupation as quickly as possible.

It's just that what made the high-ranking military and political officials of Anzhou Prefecture vomit blood was when the main force of their neighboring county town was withdrawn to cooperate with a downsized regiment of the regular army to prepare for the attack. As soon as the two city defense battalions left on the front foot, the county town on the back foot was occupied by a gang of bandits. As for the two regular troops who went out of the city to join the 1,000-strong army, they were also defeated by a large group of bandits.

Not to mention to solve the danger of Shui'ancheng, you can't even join the main force drawn from the border defenders. The border defenders, who were also marching cautiously all the way, quickly retracted back to the border after learning that the two city defense battalions had been annihilated, which made Bai Diantang, who had already been waiting in front of the net, also sigh that the people of the guerrilla brigade shot too quickly, so that the Gannan army of 1,000 people slipped back to their nest. If you want to fish them out, there will undoubtedly be some difficulties!

Shui'an City did not break the siege, and took into two more county seats, and the military and political chief of Anzhou Mansion was undoubtedly depressed and half dead. Soon, Ning Qingyuan, who was also anxious by these arrogant bandits, immediately ordered Yudu Mansion on the edge of Anzhou Mansion to transfer two security regiments, and ordered them to arrive in Anzhou within two days to cooperate with the army of Anzhou Mansion to solve the increasingly chaotic situation in Anzhou.

Seeing that the troops of Yudu Mansion had been fished out, Xu Bin immediately changed his battle and sent out the first brigade that had entered Yudu. As a result, when Yudu's troops were withdrawn, the bandits who were originally calm in Yudu also began to be arrogant. This made Ning Qingyuan completely crazy, how could there be so many bandits on his territory?

The banditry in Anju and Yudu has not yet been cured, and Changzhou, which is closest to the capital Hero City, seems to have begun to show traces of banditry activities. Ning Qingyuan, who was worried about the problem of the gateway of Changzhou, naturally shifted his attention to here, and began to send a large army stationed in the capital to enter Changzhou to quell the bandits, no matter what, this portal cannot be chaotic.

Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that the Xu family army, which is separated by their mansion, will not launch an attack on Hero City. If Xu Jiajun was allowed to take the old nest, then Ning Qingyuan probably wouldn't have a place to cry.

In view of Ning Qingyuan's attention to Changzhou, Xu Bin ordered the Changzhou Brigade of the Xu Family Army, which had already advanced into Changzhou, to steadily and steadily consume the sharp spirit and liliang of the Gannan Army. The tactics of guerrilla warfare were used to drag these large armies from the capital, the fat ones into thin ones, and the thin ones to drag him to death. Anyway, at present, Xu Jiajun is not in a hurry, it should be Gannan Army who is in a hurry.

Just when Xu Bin realized that this kind of big war that involved one side and moved the whole body, it was indeed unexpected, if it weren't for the fact that they had already conducted war games at the beginning, and considered all kinds of unexpected situations that might be encountered. I'm afraid that the Xu family army, which is now marching into various places, has been completely exposed.

It's just that Xu Bin knows very well that this kind of concealment is only temporary, once Gan Nanjun finds out. When there are a large number of formed troops operating in his territory, as long as Ning Qingwan is not stupid, he will definitely understand that this is Xu Jiajun making trouble. Once Xu Jiajun's military operations are exposed, it is very likely to attract the revolutionary army to take advantage of the fire and loot.

Therefore, at this time, Xu Bin urgently needs a solution to this impasse. Until the Xu Jiajun spies who infiltrated the border sent the details of the commander of the border garrison. Xu Bin finally called the Anzhou Brigade again, and asked the acting brigade commander Bai Diantang to personally go to Dulong Mountain with two letters of appointment, and ask Situ Baili, who had been paying attention to this war, to go out of the mountain.

At this time, to invite Situ Baili out of the mountain, it is more necessary to rely on his protégé network in the Longhua Army. What is even more urgent is that among the Gannan Army stationed on the border of Anzhou, there is a main regiment commander, who is Situ Baili's protégé. If this Confucian general can persuade him to surrender and believe that the matter of Anzhou will be settled in the first war, it will be much easier.

As long as Anzhou is taken, it will take over the defensive position of the Gannan Army that confronts the revolutionary army. Behind Jihua, the revolutionary army can only watch. After all, they couldn't even break through the defensive position of the Gannan army, so how could they break through the defensive position of the Xu family's army?

What makes Xu Bin a little worried is that during this time in Dulong Mountain, it seems that he really put down his general's frame and concentrate on being a filial son and a loving father. Will you accept his invitation?
