Chapter 502 Battle in Cangzhou 7
After allocating the five-star cards, Liu Xinqi began to think about how to allocate the remaining general cards.

Needless to say, the general cards with two stars and above are all from the academy.

In the end, only the one-star general card remained.

[Two thousand to the War Department, one thousand to the Navy, five hundred to other departments of the Military Academy, two thousand to the Government Affairs Council, and one thousand to the Dali Yuan.The rest can be left to the army as spare general cards to treat the seriously wounded. 】

After a while, all the general cards were distributed. Liu Xinqi relaxed and lay down to rest.

Starting tomorrow, we will enter the rhythm of war again.

……

The first day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Jingyan.

On the first day of the New Year, which was supposed to be a time to visit relatives and friends, the troops of the Xinghan League without any hope set out again to head north towards Yanshan County.

Liu Xinqi told Liu Zhijie and Zhao Yinghao that not only had his mana recovered, but his total amount had increased significantly.

"Leader, should you allocate more to our Tingting and Military Intelligence Departments?" Xu Zhong heard the request from the side, and Liu Xinbao quickly echoed: "That's right, there is too little manpower now."

The two men's reminders made Liu Xinqi realize that his thinking last night was still somewhat lacking.

In addition to the fact that the Military Intelligence Department needs to allocate more, the Ministry of Education should also allocate more.

Next year Liu Xinqi plans to launch a literacy campaign within the Xinghan League. Those Kong family members and their students who reluctantly recognize the Xinghan League will be controlled by Liu Xinqi and asked to conscientiously implement Liu Xinqi's literacy policy.

"Okay, five hundred for Di, and three hundred for the Military Intelligence Department, which should be enough to meet your development needs this year." Liu Xinqi directly asked someone to bring over a dozen sturdy bags, and recruited the eight hundred general cards. Put them into two bags and hand them to Xu Zhong and Liu Xinbao.

"I never thought that one day, immortal talismans could be packed in sacks." Xu Zhong was so happy that his eyebrows squeezed together.

Liu Xinqi never thought about it. He felt very rich, even richer than later generations who used sacks to carry money.

Liu Zhijie and Zhao Yinghao looked at it with envy. Liu Zhijie was older and had a stable temperament, but he could still hold it in. Zhao Yinghao said directly: "Leader, according to the distribution plan you just mentioned, our Army Department has ten brigades, and each brigade has two hundred immortals. Can you give me the talisman first? I will give it to the officers to use directly today. Then when facing the Jin army, our combat power will be stronger."

"Given the intelligence department 150 cards, your army department doesn't have enough for [-] cards, not to mention the army department has garrison troops." Liu Xinqi took out [-] one-star general cards again, divided them into two sacks and handed them to Liu Zhijie and Zhao Yinghao: " [-] of them are for officers, and the other [-] are for use by the seriously wounded."

"Thank you, leader!" "Thank you, leader!"

"Remember, you must keep the fifty pieces. Don't think that I will use them up if I join the army this time. I will treat you and other brigades with a bowl of water. Don't let me not be enough behind." Liu Xinqi warned.

He was worried that the two of them would run out of it and ask for it again when someone was seriously injured.

Now that the distribution has begun, Liu Xinqi simply distributed all the general cards of the Army Department at once.He took out two thousand one-star general cards again and put them into nine sacks respectively. Eight sacks contained two hundred cards each, and one sack contained four hundred cards.

I had someone bring me paper and pen, and quickly wrote nine letters explaining the distribution and use requirements of military commander cards.Of the four hundred cards given to Yuan Li, there was no limit on how many to keep as spares, leaving it up to Yuan Li to decide.

"You arrange for people to send these eight sacks to the brigade commanders, and give this sack to the garrison commander Yuan Li."

"Okay." Xu Zhong stepped forward to receive the order.He happened to be assigning the general cards he had obtained to various branches set up by Titing on the Kyushu continent.

"Complete it as soon as possible. I should be able to use it soon on the western and southern lines." "I'll go down and make arrangements." After Xu Zhong finished speaking, he and Liu Xinbao walked away carrying eleven sacks.

Liu Zhijie and Zhao Yinghao also returned to their respective brigade headquarters to discuss the distribution of general cards with their subordinates.

……

Wuchang County is more than a hundred miles away from Yanshan County. We set off on the first day of the first lunar month and arrived at noon on the third day of the first lunar month.

When the army arrived in Yanshan County, the Jin army had already divided [-] troops and was stationed in Yanshan County.

Yanshan County is not a big city, with 5 people almost filling the city.

To Liu Xinqi's surprise, when the Xinghan Alliance troops arrived in Yanshan County, the Jin army did not defend the city. Instead, they came out from the south gate and set up camp outside the city to wait.

Jiao Rui, the commander of the special independent battalion who had been blocking the Jin army from collecting grain and grass in Hebei, came to the Chinese army and reported to Liu Xinqi: "In addition to the [-] Jin army, there are also [-] civilians in Yanshan County. These people have now begun to form formations in the south of the city. "

The field troops of the two brigades were still fifteen miles away from the city, and they planned to set up camp after marching another five miles.

"Ninety thousand Jin troops covered the entire city wall of Yanshan County five miles south, and ten trenches were dug around the perimeter of Yanshan County."

After listening to Jiao Rui's report, Liu Xinqi asked: "Is there a commander of the Jin Army in Yanshan County?"

"There is no detection method. The Jin Army has changed to a very secret communication method. Although the speed is slow, it can prevent the enemy on the opposite side from seeing the command system." Jiao Rui reported, and then briefly explained to several senior generals. A "backpack" command method.

To carry a backpack is to carry a cloth or leather tag with the official's name on the back, so that the soldiers behind can distinguish their commanders.He wears the same clothes as ordinary soldiers and commands his subordinates by shouting.

"Grass-level officers can use backpacks because they can take the lead. It's impossible for middle-level and high-level officers to use them, right? Should they be allowed to stand in front of the soldiers?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"It is true that only junior officers use backpacks. We have not explored the command methods at the middle level and above." Jiao Rui replied.

"Where is your independent camp?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Between Qingchi County and Yanshan County, do your best to destroy the exchange of information and materials between the two counties." Jiao Rui replied.

"In other words, if we attack Yanshan County, Qingchi County may not receive intelligence."

"It's indeed possible, but we can't hide it for too long."

"This is an opportunity." Liu Xinqi touched his chin and thought for a while, then made arrangements for the two brigade commanders: "In this attack on Yanshan City, it is best to capture more of the senior executives arranged by the Jin Army here."

Liu Xinqi planned to use counterintuitive tactics.

At noon, when noon was approaching, the army arrived fifteen miles south of Yanshan County and began to set up camp on the spot. They looked at the Jin army ten miles away as if they were nothing, and were very arrogant.

However, the Jin army on the opposite side was very cautious and did not wait for work. They rushed directly towards the army of the Xinghan League. Instead, they continued to wait in formation outside their own camp.

"It would be easy if they rushed over at this time." Jiao Rui sighed.
