"A special weapon similar to a bow and arrow, the attack power is several times that of a strong bow?" Yudi was doubtful.
"I have examined the wounds of many wounded soldiers, and there is no mistake." Biyan Mask said firmly.
"Sir, I really didn't excuse myself. Zhan Jie was killed because he didn't pay attention to this new weapon. Otherwise, how could Ding Kui dare to attack our camp." Gong Jun hurriedly defended himself.
After Gong Jun, Xia Fan, Biyan Mask and others fled back to Juyang City, they saw that Ding Kui did not lead his army to pursue them, so they rushed to the war zone camp to report to Yu Di.
"Ding Kui, it's not easy! He just transferred Haotong and Lang Chun away and fought him out. What gave him the confidence was not the new weapons, but the six-level combatants. He himself is the dominant knight and knows how to use the six-level warriors."
It’s not surprising that someone with super combat power and special troops defeated you.” Yudi walked to the map of the Giant Sheep City area, folded his arms and looked at it carefully.
"Yu Shuai, please go to the county town to take charge of the overall situation. The guards here are not strong enough. If Ding Kui comes to sneak attack, we may not be able to withstand it." Xia Fan has just observed the entire war zone camp.
"You mean Ding Kui dares to come?" Yudi did not look back at Xia Fan.
"He dares." Xia Fan had a hint of displeasure on his face.
"But he's not sure of killing me. He won't get enough benefits from taking such a big risk." Yu Di was not intimidated by Ding Kui and the elite force at his disposal. "I'll attack your less than three thousand soldiers in the daytime."
Horses are all his elite, if there are two thousand more, he will not be able to defeat the Giant Sheep City before."
Gong Jun fell into deep thought after hearing this, while Xia Fan and Bi Yan Mask closed their mouths.
"Actually, you may not be defeated if you switch to an open battlefield. It only takes thousands of cavalry to attack in several directions to defeat their special units. The remaining few sixth-level combatants will be easy to deal with."
"Your Excellency is wise!" Gong Jun said sincerely.
It didn't take Yudi long to figure out a way to deal with the crossbowmen. This was the best way to restrain the long-range troops, and it could also reduce the damage caused by the enemy's forbidden spells.
"The most troublesome thing is the six level-6 warriors. Whether they are concentrated or dispersed, they are a fatal threat to our army. What we have to defend is a county." Yudi's eyes stayed on Tuofeng Mountain.
"Here comes someone!" he shouted outside the tent.
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions." A soldier bowed and walked into the Chinese military tent.
"Inquire immediately about the situation at Camelback Pass."
"yes!"
"Sir, do you think Ding Kui will attack the Tuofeng Mountain Pass?" Gong Jun's expression changed.
"Well, here's your chance to make a meritorious deed."
Gong Jun cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "Please give me the order."
"You lead the local army to the Tuofeng Mountain Pass and act according to the opportunity. Just entangle the enemy without having to fight head-on." Yudi threw out a command arrow.
"I obey!" Gong Jun caught the order arrow with both hands.
"What about us?" Xia Fan asked.
"Stay in the camp and wait."
…
Ding Kui was indeed at the Tuofeng Mountain Pass and had already defeated him. Half of the five thousand defenders left their bodies behind and the remaining half fled to the port city in panic.
"I didn't see Shaodian's army or your private army." Ao Yan ran to the port city alone and walked around.
"Old slave still thinks Dong Ba is not that impulsive." Ding Kun persuaded again.
"It's okay. At worst, we can fight back." Ding Kui said nonchalantly, "We are here. If the 71st Division is in danger, at least it will be faster to go to the rescue."
He didn't know that traces of the 71st Division were actually found in several places.
The defenders of our country in Qinglan City, Baiting City and Xixuan City all discovered the cavalry troops under the banner of the 71st Division.
Haotong and Langchun were in Baiting City at this time. The 44th Division of the Northern Army was responsible for defending the city. Shaodian cavalry was found in three towns to the west of Baiting City.
"Want to go over and take a look?" Lang Chun asked Haotong privately.
"No, have you forgotten? The enemy's 71st Division cavalry was also discovered in Xixuan City last night. In the morning, news came from Qinglan City that the enemy's 71st Division had destroyed several outlying strongholds, but no one has seen them so far.
Where is the main force? We cannot fall into the enemy's plan of seizing the east and attacking the west."
Haotong led Lang Chun out of the local army camp and rushed to the western front line, just to help the friendly forces capture part of the Eighth Army by surprise and severely damage the morale of Shaodian's ace army.
"If we can capture the enemy's 71st Division, we will definitely severely dampen the enemy's Eighth Army Corps. Our mission of cooperating with the Northern Fifth Army Corps this time is half completed." Lang Chun had a certain level of understanding of the Eighth Army Corps.
"How can Shaodian Kingdom's ace army be so easy to deal with? I think Yushuai underestimated the enemy this time." Haotong's injury has not healed yet, and he is not willing to run around.
"He has nothing to do. Who would have thought that Meng Guo would come out to cause trouble, and there will be no more troops coming from the country in the short term. We must make a quick decision and strive to sit down and talk with Shaodian Guo as soon as possible." Lang Chun was more objective.
The high-level officials of his country wanted to keep the territory they had occupied without conquering the entire Nanqiu County. Yudi decided on a strategy of beating Shaodian's reinforcements and then negotiating.
"The news from the Military Intelligence Department is not optimistic. The enemy's Eighth Army Corps, the Kong Family Army, and the Eleventh and Twelfth Army Corps are being rebuilt. Even if the Northern Army holds back the enemy's 20th Army Corps on the southern border, there are still 400,000 enemy troops around Nanqiu County.
The military strength is no less than that of the Jiangzhou War Zone, so how can Shaodian State be willing to sit at the negotiating table." Haotong knew more information.
"Hey, those are not what we have to consider. Now we need to find the enemy's 71st Division and surround it. By eating this enemy's army with the highest mobility, our army's defense line will be much more stable."
"What does this enemy force mean by dividing its troops into several groups? By destroying our outer strongholds, do they want to penetrate deep into our occupied area?"
Haotong's guess is very close to the truth.
The main force of the 71st Division is hidden in the mountains at the source of the Chunlu River, and one-third of the troops are outside to sweep away our own small strongholds.
Dong Bazheng, Shao Diancheng and several other Ding Kui's men were drinking and chatting.
"So Ding Yu went to Zhushan City with Xie Peng first, and then went to Luojing City with the Crown Prince." Dong Ba asked Bai Yun about Ding Yu and Xie Peng.
He learned from Shao Diancheng that Ding Yu and Xie Peng were great martial arts masters and forbidden magicians, and he was very interested in these two people. When he was talking to Ding Dao before, he had never heard that there were six followers of the Ding family.
Nowadays, there are several super warriors popping up all of a sudden, and they are still so young. I can't help but wonder about their origins.
"According to the family of the Demon Prince of Nanping, this is the case. It's a pity that Ding Kui has never been to our place." Bai Yun naturally hopes that Ding Kui will have a closer relationship with Zhushan City.
"The young people today are still very powerful. When I was your age, I was a shield-breaker knight. I was only a squadron leader in the 71st Division. We old guys should move our places to the young people." Dong Ba has been criticized these days.
It's exciting.
"General Dong, what are you waiting for?" Kong Wei suddenly asked without any beginning or end.
"Haha," Dong Ba looked at Kong Wei with interest, "guess."
"Waiting for the experts from Hengfu City?"
"Hahaha," Dong Ba patted Kong Wei's shoulder with his greasy hand and wiped it on his shoulder, "I guess you guessed half of it, I still have to wait for Ji Kou to make a move first."
"Oh?" Kong Wei raised his eyebrows.
"Are you saying that there is an ambush by the enemy?" Shao Diancheng was interested in this topic.
"The enemy army doesn't know that our army is coming from Pingzhong County and is most likely to attack Qinglan City, Baiting City and Xixuan City. However, we did not find the enemy's large troops along the way. Is this normal?
?" Dong Ba did not answer directly.
"So you sent people to wander around this line to lure the enemy to attack?" Kong Wei immediately thought of the several troops sent by Dong Ba.
"But the captain doesn't know we are here." Shao Diancheng half understood.
"It doesn't matter. You have already sent the news back. The Crown Prince will probably send someone out to look for us. As long as we make a big noise, we will definitely be able to find him."
Kong Wei looked at Dong Ba with a little more awe. He didn't expect a man with such a rough appearance to have such a delicate mind. "Where should we sneak attack next?" He guessed a little bit of Dong Ba's thoughts.
Gudong, Dong Ba drank a bowl of wine, wiped his mouth, and asked: "Where has the fewest enemy troops?"
"Port City!" Kong Wei said with certainty, "Assuming that the enemy intends to ambush our force, then the main force should be on the line of Qinglan City, Baiting City and Xixuan City.
To the east of Port City is the Tuofeng Mountain Pass, to the north is the Chunlu River, and to the south is the Great Swamp. Qinglan City, which may have a heavy concentration of troops, is to the west, so there is no need to arrange too many defenders."
"What a joke! Port City is a dead place. We may be surrounded by enemy troops before we can defeat it." Shao Diancheng became anxious upon hearing this.
"Hey, we are not alone." Dong Ba disagreed with Shao Diancheng's statement.
Kong Wei's eyes lit up and he patted his thigh hard, "Yes! The main force of the Eighth Army should not be far away. It has been three days since you and your troops entered Nanqiu County."
"We can hold the port city for at least one day after we capture it. By attracting the enemy's main force, the chief of staff can lead the main force to capture Qinglan City. The prince's followers can help us defend the city, and they can also assist the chief of staff.
The initiative is in our hands." Dong Ba finally told everyone the truth.
They also didn't know that Ding Kui personally led his men to knock down the Tuofeng Mountain Pass.
Lei Feixiang and Dou Xiaoqi took advantage of dinner time to teach the new members of the special operations camp the rules. Several battles during the day killed dozens of veterans. Ding Kui ordered people to be recruited from the Qiannu Battalion to replenish them, and always kept the special operations camp full.
The Qiannu battalion is now fully staffed, and the vacancies can be drawn from the infantry battalion led by Xue Chong.
At present, there are 800 people in the special operations battalion, 2,000 people in the Qiannu Battalion, more than 1,800 people in the infantry battalion, and 1,000 auxiliary troops in the Tuofeng Mountain Pass, which just fills up the pass fortress.
"Report, sir, the enemy has been found outside the east pass." Ding Cai returned to Ding Kui's side and became a personal soldier.
"Oh, you came so quickly, but are you the local army of your own country?" Ding Kui also planned to rest at Tuofeng Mountain for one night.
"Yes, the scout saw Gong Jun's flag."
"Oh, that guy is quite courageous. Could it be that he pretended to be defeated during the day and deliberately lured me here?"
