On May 19, 699, Situ Tai issued an order. In view of the disobedience of the Yunzhong City Guardian's order and was rebellious, the second army of the Empire was ordered to enter Yunzhong in two groups to take over the Yunzhong regime. At the same time, the Duoduan Kingdom Biao Guards also followed and advanced westward along Yanshan Prefecture, officially joining the civil war situation of the Tanghe Empire. With the support of some conservative nobles loyal to Situ Tai, some private troops formed by the large land nobles also announced.

Joining Situ Tai's side, he launched a rebellion in Yunzhong, captured and killed the city guards and sent officials and gentry to support the western border, and the situation in Yunzhong suddenly deteriorated. Situ Tai issued a statement in the imperial capital that in view of the unstable situation in the north, he would form the 15th Army of the Empire with the Independent First Division of the Northern Military Region and the 12th Army of the Eastern Military Region to undertake the defensive tasks within his jurisdiction. The 12th Army, which had already begun to take on heavy responsibilities, was fully pressing from the front lines of Cangzhou and Zhongzhou under the leadership of the commander of the army, and the war in the Central Plains was about to begin.

It should be said that Kamapov's early reminders and preparations played a very important role. Before realizing the corruption in the cloud, Kamapov, who had always been calm, accepted the suggestion of Yue Shan, the commander of the Second Division, and drew some grassroots officers from various divisions under his command, and seconded some of the soon-to-graduate students from the Northwest Military Academy to enrich them all.

Although it is just a security division, the officers and cadets selected were promoted to the next level as soon as they took office, which is almost unimaginable in the Western Xinjiang Army, which has always valued military merits. In addition, Kamapov also told the officers in public that as long as the Central Plains War begins, the Western Xinjiang Army will inevitably be expanded. As long as the Yunzhong Security Division performs well, it will be the first choice for expansion. The words of this commander of the army who rarely expresses his opinion immediately inspired the officers.

The high enthusiasm. Think about it, Yunzhong may be the first battlefield for war to break out. This opportunity is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for officers and soldiers who are eager for military merit. Therefore, although the Yunzhong Security Division has not yet reached the full five wings in terms of the number of soldiers, the officers in the four wings that have been organized are without exception. The officers in the Western Xinjiang Army are old men, which has greatly helped the entire security division to improve its combat effectiveness and carry out training.

Almost as soon as he received the news from the patrol, Ma Liancheng sent a signal of the war breaking out to the Fifth Army of the Western Xinjiang Army, which had been waiting for the Yunzhong border area. He didn't even have time to verify the authenticity of this information. As a corps leader of the Fifth Army, Ma Liancheng is already a veteran officer in the Fifth Army. Although he was from the Snow Mountain Sect, he was not a guard who was good at martial arts, but had outstanding tactical training. However, he was the first veteran of the guard division when it was established, from a squadron leader to a squadron leader to a deputy captain.

The extremely cruel bloody battle with Luo Beiren on the Tengger Grassland still appears in his dreams from time to time. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in that battle that even the division commander Song Tianxiong was dismissed, but it did not affect his promotion. From a deputy captain of the Guard Division (Fifth Army First Division) to a deputy commander of the First Division, to the deputy commander of the Third Division, to the corps leader of the Second Division, he was successful in his official career, and the commander of the Legion also took a fancy to his sophistication, meticulousness and resourcefulness, this time he pushed him to the position of commander of the Yunzhong Security Division.

Although it was just a security division and was incomplete, Ma Liancheng knew that there were still many people competing for this position in the Fifth Legion in this position. Even the deputy division commander of the legion also took a fancy to this security force at the core of the front line. However, the legion commander finally pushed himself to this position despite the opposition. If the Western Xinjiang Military Law Department had not been famous for being strict and harsh, Ma Liancheng believed that someone would definitely doubt whether he had a personal relationship with the legion commander, but Ma Liancheng had a clear conscience, and he also proved himself to those who doubt his abilities with his performance for more than a month.

Ma Liancheng only took a month to purify a scattered and lack training to a large-scale security division. Of course, the combat effectiveness could not be substantially improved in such a short period of time, but it was completely renewed in military discipline. It turned out that half of the more than 4,000 soldiers were cleared out, and a large number of militias with certain combat experience were recruited from several civilian armed forces who dared to rise up and resist during the invasion of the Puer people, and then had disbanded. Although it only took one month to train, Xie Yingjie, the commander of the Fourth Division, who was always picky in his eyes, agreed to this force when accompanied Kamapov to secretly inspect the troops.

The personnel were constantly shuttled through the combat rooms established by the regular divisions. A large proportion of the geographical terrain diagrams in the cloud occupied the entire western wall. Even though Ma Liancheng was praised as "sophisticated and calm" by Kamapov, he couldn't help but sweat at this time. The news from scouts from each line and the information sent by the military intelligence army had been sent up in a comprehensive manner. While sending the horse to the headquarters of the army that had already set out to advance eastward, Ma Liancheng's heart was sinking.

The scale of the enemy that launched the attack was much larger than I imagined and even imagined at the time. In addition to the four main divisions of the Second Imperial Corps, the Biao Guard Corps of the Kingdom of Duoton, and more than 160,000 troops pressed over from the three routes to Yunzhong Prefecture City, which was almost overwhelming to suppress Ma Liancheng.

If he hadn't made a lot of preparations for the terrain in Yunzhongfu in advance, Ma Liancheng would have no confidence that he would still be able to sit here, but he would have ordered the people of the whole city to evacuate the somewhat dilapidated Yunzhongfu city.

From the map, you can see how unfavorable the location of Yunzhong Mansion City is for the Western Xinjiang. The entire Yunzhong Mansion is an irregular oval area, but the location of Yunzhong Mansion City is far away from the central position of the mansion city according to common sense. It is only 110 miles away from the territory of Beiping, while it is 230 miles away from the Qinghe border to the southwest and 260 miles away from the Yulin border to the northwest.

This is nothing, but perhaps because His Highness of Qin is unwilling to stimulate the other party or because the Western Front is tight, Xijiang wants to delay the development of the Eastern Front as much as possible. Therefore, the Fifth Legion received the order that the Imperial Army must not enter the cloud before the Imperial Army enters the Yunzhong territory. In other words, the Western Army can only enter after the Imperial Army launches an attack on the Yunzhong territory. This should be a very failed design in tactical terms. The military pronoun that comes from later will not fail at any time. If you want to make the enemy still, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will move first, I will move first.

It is purely a beautiful idea. Ma Liancheng believes that at least in the current state, it is just that political needs can only be compensated by sacrificing tactical advantages. Although Ma Liancheng also knows that the northern spies in Yunzhong Prefecture are always watching here, hoping to find some basis for action. Lianzhong Security Division had to change into military uniforms that were completely different from the Western Army. Such artificiality seemed to be redundant to Ma Liancheng, but it had to be implemented. However, this did not affect the flexible Ma Liancheng's preparations to make in other aspects.

The black arrows on the map are as uncomfortable as if they were inserted into Ma Liancheng's heart. The enemy is very powerful. Although he has arranged many ugly means to deal with it, how much effect can it play and whether he can survive the arrival of reinforcements? One thing is certain that if the enemy completes the encirclement before the reinforcements arrive, the only ending of this city with a congenital deficit defense system is lost, and he can only devote himself to it. Although Ma Liancheng himself is unwilling, the commander of the legion puts himself in this position and really goes to that point, he can only sacrifice himself.

"Has the North Line Road been completely destroyed?" His eyes wandered with various lines and circles of different colors on the map. Ma Liancheng's forehead was covered with sweat beads. His red eyes were paired with slightly twisted cheeks. He did not look like an officer directing the battle, but more like a loser with red eyes.

"Teacher, we have destroyed the crossroads in the Qilin Mountain area. If Duoduan people have to take a detour to Sanyuan Liangzi, we have also sent people to set fire along the Sanyuan Liangzi area to restrain their attention. According to the information, Duoduan people have a large number of baggage, and it will take at least one more day to detour to Sanyuan Liangzi. I guess they will use engineers to force the road, but even so, it will take at least half a day to delay. What I am worried about is not the northern line. Although Duoduan people have an inside line to lead the way, they are not familiar with the terrain here after all, and the propulsion speed cannot be much faster even if they want it. The Central and South lines are even more dangerous." The answer to Ma Liancheng was the chief of staff, which was selected by Ma Liancheng himself. A deputy captain after being trained by Northwest Military Academy. Under his strong recommendation, he was also promoted to the chief of staff of the division.

"Well, although the enemy on the northern line has the strongest strength, it is not what we need to consider the most now. It is what the legion commander and others are worried about after they arrive. Our first task is to hand over this mansion to the legion commander. If we cannot do this, thousands of people in our division will be negligent, and you and I will only go to the military court. The most dangerous thing now is the middle line, with the shortest distance, and the enemy launches the fastest attack. Now it depends on whether our move can work." When he said this, Ma Liancheng couldn't help but hold his palms tightly, which was already wet with sweat.
