The soldiers brought Shao Diancheng to the platform. Dong Ba asked, "How to pull him?"
"General Dong, my lord led the army to recapture the Tuofengshan outpost. He is now at the outpost. I just saw the scouts coming out of the outpost." Shao Diancheng beamed with joy.
"Oh!" The generals and staff on the platform were all moved.
"That's very good! Beat the drum and let the sons work harder to capture this city quickly and congratulate the crown prince." Dong Ba cheered up and tried to give a good performance to Ding Kui who was just around the corner.
The soldiers in front didn't know what was going on, but when they heard the rapid beating of the drums, they rushed to the front more bravely and violently attacked the city gate.
Under the impact of multiple rounds of cavalry formations, the north gate of Port City finally fell down, and one could see the troops arrayed inside the city.
At this time, Dong Ba looked up at the night sky to the east and suddenly said: "Shoot the magic light bullet quickly." It turned out that he saw a red dot, and someone flew over from a distance. He initially judged that it was a knight.
The worst person who can fly in the sky is the Dominator Knight. If it is one of our own, it is most likely Ding Kui.
Sure enough, Ding Kui flew over with a gun in hand, "Is this General Dong from the 71st Division?"
"Young Master, don't you recognize Old Dong?" Dong Ba opened his arms to Ding Kui with a smile on his face.
"Hahaha," Ding Kui flew down to the platform, "Junior has seen General Dong." He treated Dong Ba as a nephew.
"Oh, don't be like this." Dong Ba stepped forward and hugged Ding Kui, "Now you are the acting commander of the 74th Division, and you are also the Dominant Knight. Old Dong can't stand it."
"Haha, Uncle Dong, do you mind if I call you this?" Ding Kui could feel Dong Ba's enthusiasm.
"How can I mind if I'm a high-ranking official?" Dong Ba let go of his hand and looked at Ding Kui up and down carefully, "It's only been a few years since we last met, and the prince has already surpassed me, this old guy. I've already thought about it. I'll wait until I see the chief of staff."
I propose that you serve as the honorary commander of the Eighth Army."
"Ah?" Ding Kui was startled, "How can I be qualified to be an honorary commander?"
Honorary Commander is not a formal position and does not have any power. It is just an honorary title, but not everyone can have it.
"You are qualified, you are so qualified!" Dong Ba, a veteran in the army, would not make any mistakes. "Master Knight, as long as you are the Master Knight of the Ding family, you are qualified to be the honorary commander of the Eighth Army."
Ding Kui had never heard this statement before. The key is that the Ding family has only produced one master knight in so many years, and that one became the official commander directly. "But I am only twenty-three years old this year."
"How can you pull it off at the age of twenty-three? How many people in the world can be promoted to the master knight at the age of twenty-three? The Ninth and Tenth Legions have had commanders in their twenties before, and there is no age limit for honorary commanders." Dong Ba was excited.
He waved his arms, fearing that Ding Kui would not agree.
"But does the chief of staff have the power to appoint an honorary commander?" Ding Kui naturally would not object, as long as it does not violate the court's system.
"The chief of staff has no power, but he can solicit all division commanders of the legion. If no one objects, he can make a proposal to the commander-in-chief. Do you think Mr. Jiang will object?"
The decision of who becomes the honorary commander rests with the official commander.
"I'm not sure about this. It won't be difficult for my second uncle to do, right?" Ding Kui didn't have much dealings with Jiang Xi.
"Don't worry, everyone in the army agrees. It won't be difficult for him to do it." Dong Ba's words are to the point. Military morale is very important.
If Ding Kui is appointed as the honorary commander, I am afraid that no one in the Eighth Army will object, or at least they will not dare to express their position in public. Anyone who wants to stand out will probably die miserably.
"Oh Hou!" the soldiers in front cheered, and a team rushed into the city, followed by groups of cavalry rushing into the city gate.
"Let's talk about this later. Congratulations to Uncle Dong for regaining the port city."
Breaking through the city gate means that the battle is almost over. The 71st Division already has a large number of people, and the quality of its individual soldiers is far superior to that of the enemy. Street fighting is simply a one-sided massacre.
Dong Ba said modestly: "Hahaha, I'm sorry you didn't snatch it from me. If it had been half a day later, this city would have fallen into your hands." In fact, it was also true. If Ding Kui wanted to conquer the port city, he was fully capable of conquering it.
.
"No, if you don't come, I won't fight out of Hengfu City. I won't be able to defend Port City even if I regain it. When will the main force of the legion arrive?"
Dong Ba looked at Ding Kui with relief and said, "How can you be so sure that the main force will come?"
"You know about my promotion," Ding Kui pointed to his cavalry brigade, "I am safe in Hengfu City. Since you chose to attack here, it is not to save me, then reinforcements must be coming. Calculate the time.
It’s time for the Eighth Army Corps to arrive.”
"Look, your adults are better than you." Dong Ba said to Shao Diancheng.
"Of course, I am humble and stupid, and I haven't learned half of the skills of adults." Compared with Ding Kui, Shaodian felt doubly frightened.
"You need to notify the Chief of Staff through Nanjing City. When he learns that we have captured Port City, he will immediately attack Qinglan City. The enemy troops defending on this line are unable to stop them." Dong Ba did not have the ability to notify the main force behind enemy lines.
.
"This is easy to handle. I'll ask Ao Yan to go back and we can get back in one meal." Ding Kui could do it himself.
"Let's go to the city to talk." Dong Ba took Ding Kui's arm and wanted to let Ding Kui ride his horse.
"No need, I'll fly in and cheer you up!"
A flying knight can give the enemy enough shock.
By the time Ao Yan arrived with troops from Tuofeng Mountain, the 71st Division was already cleaning the battlefield.
"No need for the Tuofengshan outpost?" Dong Ba felt strange when he heard that all of Ding Kui's troops were here.
"Give it to our enemies. They have several sixth-level warriors. We'd better not divide our troops. If we do, we might not be able to rescue them." Ding Kui was still very afraid of his own country's sixth-level warriors.
"Oh." Dong Ba could understand, "The reason why you can fight is because their level six combatants are separated."
"Yes." Ding Kui admitted, "If they don't separate, I will come out to find you alone."
"Xiao Dong, I am really impressed by you." Dong Ba exceeded Ding Kun's expectations this time.
"Haha, Brother Kun, you are good at killing people, but I am better at commanding troops." Dong Ba felt happy. It was a rare thing to be praised by Ding Kun.
Everyone chatted and laughed and came to the city lord's mansion together. During this period, only Ao Yan left alone, going back to Hengfu City Magic Guild to send a message to Jiang Zhi.
"Do you want me to pick up the bait you sent out?" Ding Kun asked Dong Ba proactively.
"Great, Brother Lao Kun is here." Dong Ba immediately asked his staff to write a military order, and then handed it over to Ding Kun.
"The guard here took advantage of the chaos and escaped. He knew that I captured the Tuofengshan outpost. The enemy army is not expected to come until tomorrow morning. They dare not attack the city without the help of level six combatants." Ding Kui came to the port city.
Map research.
Dong Ba asked: "Is the secret passage in the swamp suitable for war horses to pass?"
"It is possible, but it will affect the marching speed. It will take a day to reach Hengfu City. I think it is best to find a place to ambush the enemy." Ding Kui had no intention of staying in the city honestly.
"They have level six warriors, so it's hard to ambush them, right?" Dong Ba did not dare to underestimate the newly promoted young division commander, and seriously considered Ding Kui's suggestion.
"Boss Dong, are you still afraid of being tough?" Zhong Wei said with a smile, and also used the new words learned by Ding Kui.
"Hey, we are behind enemy lines, so we can do whatever we can to save effort." Dong Ba was used to the teasing of his old comrades.
"If the ambush fails, you can retreat. Scare them to buy some time. Our crossbows are enough for two high-intensity battles at most. It's best not to run out before reinforcements arrive." Ding Kui was worried about the supply problem.
"By the way, show me a crossbow." Dong Ba was very curious when he saw the crossbow for the first time.
Ding Cai was ordered to find a crossbow and give it to Dong Ba.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a stiff bow arm," Dong Ba picked up the crossbow and took aim. "It's also very accurate. I'm afraid even my troops can't defend it."
"Xiao Dong, don't flatter yourself. The crossbow barracks defeated a dominating knight. If your troops can't defend you, you can't defend yourself." Ding Kun mocked.
"Um," Dong Ba pulled the bow string with one hand, "It's so powerful! There are a hundred crossbowmen firing, and I really can't stop it. Can you give me some of such a good thing?" His saliva almost flowed out.
"No!" Zhong Wei was the first to jump out and object. "Crossbows are only for use by our troops. We still have several battalions without the equipment, and we don't even have enough."
"If you can take my move, I will personally give you some crossbows."
"Brother Kun, why don't you just reject me and give me another move? I still want to live for a few more years." Dong Ba was about to cry. How could a great martial artist bully a fearless knight? His eyes turned to Ding Kui.
"Don't look at me. What Commander Zhong said is true. My private army is not enough. I can give you one, but I won't have more." Ding Kui spread his hands to express his helplessness.
"What about the future? You should still be building them. I'm not greedy. When you have more, give me some." Dong Ba did not give up his pursuit of crossbows.
"What kind of crossbow do your cavalry use? Are they going to charge with a crossbow?" Zhong Wei was very vigilant.
"Cavalry can't always be on horseback. They also have to dismount to fight. How much fighting spirit can be saved with this thing! And we can carry more arrows." Dong Ba saw at a glance that the operation of the crossbow was simple, and his men could
Master it quickly.
"Don't expect too much. Not everyone can use the Golden Bamboo Crossbow. At least you have to have the strength of a warrior in the later stage, otherwise you can't pull the bow string even with the lever. I have worked hard to train thousands of warriors. I want to build a strong
The crossbow camp is not that easy." It's not that Ding Kui didn't want to give it to Dong Ba, the Eighth Army was not much different from his private army.
"That's it." Dong Ba was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it he became interested again, "I don't need this golden bamboo crossbow. Can you make me some low-strength crossbows?"
"A low-intensity crossbow?" This made Ding Kui think.
It's a good idea to build a low-strength crossbow. You can develop multiple types of crossbows. Just keep the best ones in your hands. The inferior ones can be sold for money. My arsenal can be expanded. The bigger the better.
