Chapter 110 A Big Scene

At 11:40 PM, a line of An-affiliated military vehicles sped along a highway outside Dragon City, heading towards the front lines.

An Ze City sat in one of the vehicles, his arms crossed, calmly issuing orders to his chief of staff.

During the task assignments, the chief of staff received a phone call. After a moment, he put down his phone, turned to An Ze City, and reported, "Commander, Ye Liqiu has returned to our lines. Jiang Yuanzhen's troops are in disarray. After our successful raid, Jiang Yuan's main force halted its advance and began to retreat. They've already withdrawn from the Haiyan Pit and are likely heading to the Dragon River defense line."

An Ze City nodded slightly, his tone steady. "Order our troops to continue advancing, coordinating with Xin Xiaodong's forces to encircle the First Army along the Dragon River. Also, personally call Jiang Yuan and tell him I'm giving him one hour to bring all Jiang-affiliated officers of regimental level and above to our forward positions. Call him now."

An Ze City didn't want to talk to someone like Jiang Yuan, so he instructed the chief of staff to handle it.

"Yes, sir!" The chief of staff hurriedly took out his phone and dialed the number.

...

Jiang-affiliated forces, front-line command.

The staff officers gathered around the sand table turned pale upon hearing the news, unsure of what to do.

"Bang!"

Jiang Yuan slammed the phone receiver onto the base, kicked over the chair next to him with a crash, veins popping on his forehead, and roared at the staff below, "Damn it, two regiments couldn't protect a logistics headquarters? In our own defense zone, so close, and they get beheaded? Worthless, drag those two guard regiment commanders over here and execute them!"

The staff and other officers stood to the side, heads lowered, not daring to utter a word.

Jiang Yuan's mentality had completely broken down, and he continued to point at them, venting his anger. "A bunch of good-for-nothings! Can't even protect your own military commanders, what use are you? Every day, you're shouting to fight, fight, fight, and then you create this situation when the war starts! The Jiang family ended up like this because of all of you!"

The officers remained silent. Before the fighting, they were all for war because they could all profit from it.

After a while, the Jiang-affiliated old chief of staff walked over and advised, "Don't get so agitated. I received news that we have allies in our rear defense zone who opened a gap for the An-affiliated forces, that's how they were able to break in..."

This old chief of staff had followed Jiang Yuanzhen for many years and watched Jiang Yuan grow up. He was like an uncle to him and was usually respected by the two Jiang family sons.

"Those are all objective reasons, I want results! This is a failure of defense!"

The old chief of staff sighed and said nothing more. He understood that the successive incidents involving Jiang Zheng and Jiang Yuanzhen had unbalanced this young master's mind.

Just as Jiang Yuan was raging, a communications officer walked over and said to Jiang Yuan with some trepidation, "Commander... An, the An-affiliated side is calling..."

Jiang Yuan walked to the side with a dark face and took the phone. "Hello?"

The voice of the An-affiliated chief of staff came over the phone, "My side is giving you one hour to lead all Jiang-affiliated officers of regimental level and above to report to my An-affiliated forward positions."

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows and shouted into the phone, "Are you dreaming?! F*** your mother, you bunch of villains!"

Faced with the outburst of impotent rage, the chief of staff coldly reminded him, "Watch your language, control your emotions. The safety of your father, your brother, and your cousin all depends on you alone."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's mind seemed to explode, buzzing. He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth to suppress his anger.

The chief of staff paused and continued, "I'm giving you one hour to bring all your people over. Also, don't move your troops. If you dare to move, we will immediately join forces with the Hua Tong Association's People's Army to eliminate you along the Dragon River. If you dare to resist or flee, I will first execute your brother and then send your father to the Dragon City Military Court."

Jiang Yuan trembled, his teeth chattering, the veins in his temples bulging.

An Ze City's chief of staff reminded him again, "One hour, that's all."

With that, the phone hung up with a snap.

Jiang Yuan's face was twisted, struggling to suppress the anger in his heart, his eyes filled with bloodshot.

The Jiang-affiliated chief of staff knew something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "What did he say?"

Jiang Yuan took a long time to calm down, then gritted his teeth and said, "He told us to take officers of regimental level and above to report over there, or they'll join forces with the People's Army and wipe us out along the Dragon River."

The old chief of staff frowned and immediately said, "We can't go!"

...

Meanwhile, at the Dragon City General Administration Bureau.

After receiving a phone call, Gu Baisun said to Su Tianyu, who was sitting beside him, "Director Su, the situation is a bit complicated now... On the garrison side, Tan Hengqiang has pushed the main force to the border line, forming a confrontation with the First District's 3rd Armored Division and 10th Infantry Division. On the An-affiliated side, they quickly beheaded Jiang Yuanzhen and sent the main force to encircle the Jiang-affiliated troops along the Dragon River, ready to launch an attack at any time."

Su Tianyu was also dumbfounded. In just one short hour, the battle situation had undergone earth-shattering changes. As the leader of this battle, he had no sense of presence at all.

He didn't even know what happened on the front lines, and the opponent was gone?!

This battle was too outrageous!

Thinking of this, Su Tianyu paused for a moment and said with a strange expression, "We didn't even move, and they finished the job, it's like it has nothing to do with us."

Gu Baisun was silent for a long time, finally squeezing out a sentence, "I can't see your dad's strategy either..."

Su Tianyu slammed the table. "What occasion is this? Watch your words!"

Everyone was silent. Su Tianyu stood up and said, "You guys discuss it first, I'm going out to make a call."

Soon, Su Tianyu walked to a small, empty room, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

A steady voice sounded on the other end, "Hello?"

After thinking for a long time, Su Tianyu still used a relatively close, yet not too cheesy, form of address, "Uncle... such a big scene, let me move a bit. If I don't move, these twenty thousand or so people seem to be watching the show here."

An Ze City replied faintly, "Move your ass! The reason I put in so much effort is that I don't want the administrative faction to get involved, especially you, to create opposition with the garrison. I also don't want those garrison generals to harbor resentment and grudges against you. Just stay put and watch the show!"

Su Tianyu was silent for a long time, then asked, "Then how long do we watch?"
