    "Eldest son, there is no large-scale bandit army around, only sporadic scout teams."

    The scouts of the civilian army quickly checked the surrounding situation clearly, and did not find any large-scale Qinghe army troops.

    "It seems that the bandit army really wants to give up Yunxi Mansion."

    The Moaning River is a natural barrier in the western area of ??Yunxi Mansion. The Qinghe Army gave up such an important line of defense, which further confirmed Qin Lie's guess.

    Qin Lie gave an order: "Pass the order down, have a good rest tonight, cross the river tomorrow, and capture Yunxi Mansion within three days!"

    "My lord, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I suggest sending people across the river overnight to seize the beach on the other side and prepare for building the pontoon bridge tomorrow."

    After hearing Qin Lie's order, the staff worried that the situation would change, so they put forward their own suggestions.

    "In this case, let's do what you want, let the fifth battalion cross the river overnight and occupy the beach on the other side."

    Qin Lie was one of the five tigers of the Qin family, and he was naturally not a simple-minded person. After hearing the advice of his staff, he immediately adopted it.

    The 60,000 troops led by Qin Lie rushed all the way to the Moaning River, and they were exhausted. Except for the 5,000 soldiers of the fifth battalion who had to cross the river overnight, the rest of the soldiers quickly rested in the camp on the west bank.

    When Qin Lie's troops were resting on the Moaning River, they were preparing to cross the river after dawn and head straight for the city of Yunxi Prefecture.

    In the thick night, several long dragons of torches were rushing quickly to the Moaning River. They were the Guards Banner Group under Chen Ziang's command.

    "Quick, speed up!"

    "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time. This is the first battle of our Guards Banner Regiment. We have given full play to our spirits. Don't let people underestimate you!"

    Li Changqing, head of the Guards Banner, rode on a horse and galloped back and forth along the long march, cheering loudly for the soldiers.

    Although Li Changqing was young, he followed Chen Ziang in the north and south, and fought many vicious battles.

    Moreover, Li Changqing followed Chen Ziang, and learned a lot by ear.

    Li Changqing was the youngest among several banner leaders, but he was highly regarded by Chen Ziang.

    The most important thing is that Li Changqing is loyal to Chen Ziang, and another reason is that he is very young, and Chen Ziang trained him as a general in his own right.

    And Chen Ziang formed the Guards Banner Regiment, and let Li Changqing be the head of the Banner Regiment against all opinions, which was also an experience for him.

    As Chen Ziang's personal guard, the Guards Banner Regiment has been training since its formation, and has had little chance to go to the battlefield.

    Moreover, in the battle plan of the Staff Department, Li Changqing's Guards Banner Regiment is also used as a reserve team. Although they are on the battlefield, they have nothing to do with them.

    However, with the changes in the battlefield situation, Li Changqing was naturally very excited that the Guards Banner Group finally had the opportunity to show their talents.

    The Guards Banner Regiment is Chen Ziang's direct unit, and Li Changqing also trains them strictly on weekdays, which is more than one grade more intensive than other banner regiments.

    Because according to Li Changqing's words, they should not only become Chen Ziang's thickest shield, but also the sharpest knife in Chen Ziang's hand.

    Li Changqing and his Guards Banner regiment marched quickly at night as if they had been spayed with chicken blood, and arrived at the west bank of the Moaning River at dawn.

    "Now about 5,000 people from the militia have crossed the Moaning River and reached the east bank."

    Li Changqing and their Guards Banner Regiment hid in a forest on the west bank to rest, and at the same time quickly contacted the First Banner Regiment of Infantry hiding on the east bank.

    Zhou Ba's First Banner Regiment of Infantry retreated all the way from the border area of ??Anling County, pretending to be defeated and retreating to the Moaning River.

    Although on the surface they had withdrawn to the direction of Yunxi Mansion, in fact they were hiding not far from the east bank, monitoring the Moaning River.

    Once the militia troops cross the river on a large scale, the task of their First Banner Regiment is to attack quickly and stop them.

    "The general has ordered that our Guards Banner Regiment take over here."

    In a secluded forest, Li Changqing, head of the Guard Banner, handed over the latest order to Zhou Ba, head of the First Banner.

    "What about our first flag regiment?"

    "The latest plan of the Staff Department is to encircle and fight for aid. Our Guards Banner Regiment will be responsible for dealing with the militia troops here. You will be commanded by Deputy Army Chief Li to deal with the main force of the militia." Li Changqing explained.

    "Brother, the strength of your Guards Banner Regiment is too weak, it is not as good as ours.How about eliminating the enemies on the east bank first to relieve your pressure?  "Zhou Ba suggested.

    Zhou Ba and his first banner regiment were ordered to pretend to be defeated all the way, and there was a fire in their hearts all the time.

    Now he left without letting go, Zhou Ba felt that the enemies here were too cheap, so he wanted to fight a battle before leaving.

    "If you want to fight, I have no objection, but you have to ask Deputy Commander Yuan for instructions. Now he is in charge of the Moaning River defense line." Li Changqing shrugged.

    "Okay, I'll go find Deputy Commander Yuan."

    Zhou Ba left immediately to find Yuan Jie, the deputy army commander. Fortunately, Yuan Jie, the deputy army commander, was not far away.

    Yuan Jie was in charge of the defense of the Moaning River line, and he only had a guard flag regiment in his hand, worrying about not having enough troops.

    Now that the First Banner Group is willing to help them remove some obstacles before leaving, he is naturally happy to see the result, so he immediately granted the request of the First Banner Group.

    Zhou Ba quickly returned to the east bank after getting the consent of Yuan Jie, the deputy head of the army, and summoned the troops of the First Banner Regiment.

    Amidst the majestic sound of the horn, the murderous 20,000 elite of the First Banner Regiment quickly launched an attack on the militia troops who had crossed the Moaning River.

    ?The 5,000 militia troops crossed the river overnight. Because there were not enough ferry boats, they did not cross the river until midnight.

    Not long after they fell asleep, horns and shouts of killing sounded outside, and they were also full of bewilderment.

    Because their scouts reported last night that there were no large-scale Qinghe Army troops around.

    However, when they saw the Qinghe Army troops rushing towards them from a distance, they panicked after being stunned.

    Their tents were messily set up on the east bank, because they only finished crossing the river in the middle of the night, and they were so tired that they didn't even have time to build the camp.

    "Array! Array!"

    The battalion general of the civilian army quickly recovered from the shock and shouted loudly.

    Officers at all levels of the civilian army also kicked and beat the panicked soldiers one after another, telling them to line up to meet the enemy.

    "what happened?"

    In the militia camp on the west bank, Eldest Prince Qin Lie was also woken up by the sound of the majestic horn, and heard the sound of killing, before he had time to put on his clothes, he ran out of the camp.

    "Eldest son, it's not good, a large group of bandits have been found on the other side!"

    An officer rushed to Qin Lie with a panicked expression, pointing to the other side of the Moaning River and shouting.

    "A large army of bandits, where did they come from?" Qin Lie was also full of question marks.

    Last night, the scout team reported that there were no large-scale Qinghe troops around, but now that a large Qinghe army suddenly appeared, Qin Lie was also caught off guard.

    But now he has no time to pursue the responsibility of the scout team, because the 5,000 militiamen who crossed the river overnight are already in jeopardy.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
