Praetorian Legion!

This is the most elite legion of the empire, with a total strength of more than 300,000, and is the core armed force of the royal family of the Great Hong Empire. Sitting in the imperial capital, it can always respond to the empire's foreign wars, and at the same time ensure deterrence internally.

If there is really an elite army that suddenly appeared on the border between Ansan County and Yunxi County, and dared to pretend to be the flag of the local garrison force, there was only the Praetorian Guard Legion.

But with the strength of the Praetorian Legion, there is no need to disguise it as a local army, or a local flag that spans two counties, so the biggest possibility is the two elite legions in Lianzhou.

But how is this possible?

Yang Qi is now calmly training troops in Nanyang Mansion, that is, based on the elite legions of the surrounding counties, all of them have been transferred to the northern border to resist the invasion of the Tatar cavalry, so that he can rest assured that in the case of food shortage, he did not rush to the east and besieged the county town of Ansan County, Weixincheng, and did not show a tendency to attack the surrounding states and counties.

Obviously, the threat is not very big, but I never expected it!

The center of the empire would be so decisive and make an unbelievable decision!

After roughly calculating the current position of the Lianzhou Legion and the daily marching speed, it can be roughly deduced that the two elite legions in Lianzhou have not been called up and are heading to the northern border, and there is even a possibility, but Yang Qi can't believe that this will happen.

But why is this happening now?

In his astonishment, Yang Qi fell into reflection on the previous plan thinking.

On the premise of knowing the results and being familiar with the situation. It's not hard to work backwards as to what happened. Yang Qi soon realized that he had accidentally overlooked an important issue. That is, the Holy Fire Sect, the White Lotus Sect, and the uprisings of various sects were a few years later, and the external pressure of the empire was far greater at that time than it is now!

Even if it knew the threat of the sects, the empire did not dare to rush into the Janissary Legion.

But now it's different!

The empire is in a strategic confrontation with the Tatar cavalry, and although its own losses are also large, at least for the foreseeable year, there will be no more major threats to the northern border, and the army corps of the counties can be mobilized calmly.

This situation gave the center the confidence to mobilize the city guard corps out of Beijing!

Another reason is that Yang Qi found that he underestimated his influence. In his own opinion, the scale of the uprising was far less than that of the Holy Fire Sect and the White Lotus Sect, but how could the center of the empire know what the future would be? In the eyes of the other party, Yang Qi won a hundred battles in just a few months, crisscrossing Ansan County, breaking through the capital city one after another, threatening the county town, as if sweeping the world. Such a thief is already an unprecedented problem since the founding of the empire!

The change in external pressures, coupled with Yang Qi's underestimation of the importance the empire placed on him. caused him to invisibly make a wrong judgment.

Knowing history is not just about the benefits. This kind of prophetic prophecy. It's easy to create a sense of dependency. Sometimes, this kind of blind dependence and trust can be very fatal, making people inadvertently ignore some seemingly subtle points that are actually enough to affect the overall situation, even if Yang Qi has been secretly reminding himself.

Is it the first time since the crossing that there has been a mistake in decision?

Or, is it better to use the words negligent and unexpected?

No matter how he evaluates it, Yang Qi has a deep chagrin in his heart, but the incident has happened, and there is no point in blaming himself. Now it's important to come up with a brand new plan as soon as possible and combine it with the previous backup plan to deal with the current situation!

The situation around the four southeastern counties of the empire and Ansan County, the possible number and combat strength of the Lianzhou Legion and the specific arrival time, and the information about the hole cards that the Ansan Army could use quickly appeared in his mind, summarizing, patching, and combining.

In Yang Qi's original plan, the counterinsurgency army mobilized by the center will not arrive until at least January next year. The time during this period was enough for Yang Qi to solve and digest the power of Nanyang Mansion City. Who would have thought that the Lianzhou Legion of the empire has now arrived at the border of Ansan County and Yunxi County, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, this is not an ordinary second- or third-rate battalion defense soldier, but a real first-class legion field soldier, with the current strength of the rebel army, the frontal battlefield is tantamount to self-defeat.

His brain spun around quickly, and he was ruthless and said decisively: "The whole army is ready before the war to attack the county seat of Ansan County at any time!" Time is running out for us! ”

"General?"

Jiang Feng's heart was shocked, and he suddenly fell into surprise and puzzlement.

I was still talking about the origin of that mysterious official army, but after pondering for a while, I suddenly made this decision? You must know that at present, the recruits are still in training, and they are still unbearable for actual combat, and the strength of the rebel army is actually declining, is it too hasty to prepare to attack Ansan County now?

The official army that has not yet been in contact with it puts so much pressure on the marshal?

"Mr. Jiang, do you know the true identity of the official army on the border?"

Looking at Jiang Feng's expression, Yang Qi sighed and asked knowingly.

Including Zhang Baihu, who came to report the news overnight
