In the hazy night, in the area north of the Ganshui River in Daning Province, an entire army was marching rapidly along the rugged road in the wilderness.
The cold wind whimpered and howled, except for the heavy panting and clanging and clashing of weapons, everyone kept quiet.
When the army along the way arrived at the junction of Shuangfeng Mansion and Yuancheng Mansion, the sky had completely darkened, and it was completely dark.
When the forward troops were marching forward with their heads buried, suddenly a few soldiers of the Far East Army wearing thick military uniforms emerged from the side of the road ahead.
The soldiers who were marching were startled by the sudden black shadow, and they raised their crossbows in unison.
"Password!"
"Defend the home and defend the country!"
"Return order!"
"The empire is victorious!"
After matching the passwords, the Far East soldiers holding crossbows breathed a sigh of relief.
"Suddenly jumped out from the side of the road, I thought it was an enemy."
Seeing a few scouts rushing over panting, one of the leading hundred generals of the vanguard army laughed and scolded.
"You are finally here, the boss is stuck here, and our brother is about to freeze to death." A scout soldier responded.
"How far is it from the Ganshui River?" The leading hundred generals asked the scouts.
"It's just ahead, where is Deputy Commander Yang?"
"It's behind."
The leading hundred generals pouted their mouths at the mighty team behind them.
"What's going on, why did the team stop?"
At this time, a group of cavalry roared from behind and questioned loudly from a long distance away.
"Zhou Qiang, the captain of the third scout team, has met Deputy Commander Yang!"
Seeing Yang Zhong, the deputy commander of the Seventh Field Army Corps on horseback, the scouts all stood up and marched in awe.
"What's going on up front?"
Yang Zhong, the deputy commander of the Field Seventh Army, pointed at the darkness ahead with his whip and asked.
"Reporting to Deputy Commander Yang, the Ganshui River is ahead. The Artisan Banner Battalion has set up a pontoon bridge and can cross the river at any time! We are here to welcome you." Scout Captain Zhou Qiang said loudly.
"How many enemies are there on the other side?"
Hearing that the Artisan Banner Camp has erected a pontoon bridge on the Ganshui River section before Shuangfeng Mansion and Yuancheng Mansion, Yang Zhong, the deputy head of the army, also showed a smile on his face.
"There are only two cavalry patrols in the desert empire in this river section, but now they are all drinking and eating meat in the town." The scout captain Zhou Qiang replied.
"very good."
Hearing that the desert imperial cavalry patrol on the opposite side was not dispatched, Yang Zhong, the deputy head of the army, was also very happy.
"Order, the 32nd Field Banner Regiment quickly cross the river and seize the other bank!"
Yang Zhong, deputy commander of the Seventh Field Army, immediately issued a military order decisively, requiring the avant-garde troops to cross the river quickly.
"Brothers, run forward and cross the river quickly!"
After receiving the order, Du Xiaoniu, head of the 32nd Field Banner, also yelled at the top of his voice.
Following the issuance of the military order, the soldiers of the 32nd Banner Regiment of the Seventh Field Army Regiment held torches and quickly ran towards the river. The whole team rolled forward like a long dragon of torches in the darkness.
This section of the river has left the territory of Gandong Mansion and is located in the area of ??Shuangfeng Mansion and Yuancheng Mansion, far away from the area where the two sides are heavily confronted.
The Field Seventh Army arrived here to cross the river in the severe cold. They had only one task, which was to outflank and encircle the main forces of the desert empire gathered around the capital of Daning Province.
After Li Qiye, Chief of the Ministry of War, arrived at the northwest front, he immediately began to formulate a counterattack plan.
According to Li Qiye's battle plan, the Field Seventh Army crossed the upper reaches of the Ganshui River and detoured to threaten the rear of the Desert Empire Army.
The main force of the Third Far East Field Army launched an attack from the front, trying to wipe out the main force of the desert empire's frontline army within half a month.
For this reason, the Field Seventh Army set off three days ago, and they went out day and night all the way to the weak point of defense on the Ganshui River line of the Desert Empire Army, preparing to cross the river.
The army of the Desert Empire also deployed some security patrols in this area, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, it is freezing cold now, and it is really not suitable for large-scale mobilization of troops, because the weather is too cold, and the cold wind is like a knife. If you don't pay attention, there is a risk of freezing to death.
Therefore, the Desert Empire judged that the Far East Empire would not be able to launch a large-scale counterattack before the beginning of spring.
However, they were indeed misjudged this time, and the Far East Empire is now facing a great crisis.
Therefore, stabilizing the situation in the northwest as soon as possible has become a top priority, and the Far Eastern Empire can't wait until spring.
This time Li Qiye arrived at the Northwest front line, along with a large number of militia troops and transport teams.
They not only transported a large amount of food, fodder and weapons, but also a large amount of thick military uniforms to keep out the cold.
? The Far East Empire was established by war, and there are more than 500 arsenals of various types, large and small, in the territory, and its logistics is quite strong.
This time, not only did the soldiers of the newly formed regular army of the Third Field Army have thick military uniforms against the cold, but even those militia soldiers who arrived at the front line also distributed thick military uniforms.
This ensured that the Far East troops on the northwest front could be dispatched in freezing weather, instead of just hiding in the warm barracks and being unable to move.
Under the leadership of Du Xiaoniu, the 32nd Field Banner Regiment, it took just over an hour for 20,000 soldiers to cross the Ganshui River and reach the west bank of the Ganshui River.
After they reached the west bank of the Ganshui River, they did not stay, but quickly rushed to a town more than ten miles away.
The two cavalry patrols of the Desert Empire live in the town, and they are responsible for patrolling this section of the river.
It's just that the weather was severe, and they didn't patrol the river regularly as required. Instead, they drank and ate meat in the town, enjoying a rare opportunity to rest.
When the troops of the 32nd Banner Regiment in the field rushed into the town under the leadership of the scouts, the desert imperial cavalry sentries in the town opened their mouths in surprise when they saw the Far East army suddenly appearing in front of them.
But before the sentinel of the desert empire issued an early warning, the sharp crossbow bolts pierced through his body, and he collapsed on the ground unwillingly.
The desert imperial cavalry in the town were also scattered everywhere. Some drank and ate meat in the tavern, some had fun with women in the brothel, and some gathered together to gamble, shouting constantly.
The army of the Far Eastern Empire rushed in suddenly, catching the patrols of these desert empires off guard, and they were cut off immediately.
It took only a cup of tea, and all the cavalry patrols of the two desert empires stationed in the town went to meet Lord Yan, and all the horses were captured by the army of the Far East Empire.
At dawn, the 33rd Banner Regiment and the 34th Banner Regiment of the Seventh Field Army also crossed the river in turn.
After a short rest, Yang Zhong, the deputy head of the army, led the 33rd Field Banner Regiment to march northward and rushed to the Nongshanfu area, preparing to destroy the enemies in this area and remove the threat from the army's flanks.
Legion Commander Zhou Ba led the 32nd, 34th, 35th, 36th Banner Regiments and the main forces of the six Civilian Banner Battalions, and rushed towards Mingluo Mansion in the west.
