"Okay, later I will ask Mr. Qian and Qian Chongfeng to do some research and develop some low-end versions of crossbows, but it will take a while. I can give you a few, but if you want more, you have to spend money to buy more." Ding Kui is determined to expand his crossbows.
Military industry.
"Of course, the invasion of the Ji invaders caused heavy losses to your territory. How can I take advantage of you? After defeating the Ji invaders, we will definitely have a lot of rewards, which can be used to buy equipment privately." Dong Ba was confident that he could defeat his country.
After hearing Ding Kui's statement, others naturally had no different opinions. No one thought that Ding Kui would suffer in matters related to money.
"Commander Lin, please order someone to go to the city and search around. If you find something delicious and delicious, put it on the table." Dong Ba remembered that everyone had been busy for most of the night. He was the master of Port City at the moment and should entertain Ding Kui and others.
While the banquet was still being prepared, Ao Yan rushed back. Ding Kui and Dong Ba felt at ease and began to seriously discuss the defense of Port City.
"The main force of the enemy army will only come from the west. The defense at the Tuofeng Mountain outpost in the east is probably the main one. If I were the enemy commander, I would send people to block our retreat to the Great Swamp first," Ding Kui said to him.
Port City is no stranger.
He had led troops all the way from Qinglan City to Juyang City before, and was quite familiar with the geographical environment of this area.
"The places where ambush can be carried out are guarded by small groups of enemy troops. If we attack them, they will be alerted. If we want to go out of the city to fight, we can only have a head-on confrontation." Dong Ba denied the possibility of an ambush.
"Although I don't know where the enemy's main force was originally assembled, they must have set off after dawn. They shouldn't be able to get here before noon. If they had a meal on the way, they would arrive even later.
The Northern Fifth Army has a long history in our country, and with the help of level six warriors, it should be considered a quasi-elite army. I bet they will rush on their way first and then build food after arriving at the city, and will not leave us time to rest." Ding.
Kui made a bold guess.
"Of course I am willing to fight in the field. The cavalry troops cannot stay in the city, but we have crossbowmen, and the casualties of defending the city can be minimized." Dong Ba did not blindly follow Ding Kui because of his identity.
"The strong crossbow battalion can also fight in the field. If they cooperate well, 3,000 crossbow soldiers can defeat an army of 30,000." Ding Kui was confident.
"Okay!" Dong Ba was inspired by Ding Kui, "The 71st Division is willing to cooperate with the prince in fighting."
"Elite infantry, knight divisions, and crossbowmen are the perfect combination for field battles. We also have great martial arts masters, forbidden magicians, and master knights who are waiting to work on the preset battlefield. We are at least 60 to 70 percent sure of defeating the enemy.
Army." Zhong Wei was one of the few generals present who was familiar with crossbowmen.
"Well, the enemy's fifth northern army has never fought with my crossbowmen. Their attention must be focused on the 71st Division, and they will definitely not put all their troops into battle at the first time. As long as we choose the right location, we will definitely make them
The strong crossbow battalion exerted the power of continuous attacks." Ding Kui could probably guess the enemy's reaction when he encountered the crossbow soldiers for the first time.
Field encounters are different from offensive and defensive battles in military camps. When they meet, they have to fight to the death. Whoever retreats first means defeat. Unless they stay away from the opponent's attack range, it will turn into a pursuit battle.
"As for the location, it can't be too close to the port city, and it must be a must-pass for the enemy." Dong Ba looked for it on the map.
"I know a place, Fencha Town, which is the only way to advance eastward. After passing through the town from west to east, the terrain gradually opens up. It is more than eight miles away from Port City. You can set up positions there to attack, retreat or defend.
If the city is attacked, we can rush back to rescue in time."
Ding Kui had long thought about the various tactics of crossbowmen. After deciding to attack Port City, he thought of a suitable place for the crossbowmen to perform.
"Oh, this is it." Dong Ba found Sancha Town on the map, "Yes, I can send out reconnaissance cavalry to monitor the nearby areas, and I can attack in time after discovering the enemy."
Ding Kui and Dong Ba quickly reached an agreement, and both sides gathered 10,000 troops to prepare to face the invading enemy.
Ding Kui sent 3,000 crossbowmen, 1,000 elite infantry and 1,000 auxiliary troops. The 71st Division was led by Dong Ba with 5,000 cavalry to form a mixed division of crossbow, infantry and cavalry, leaving a few thousand people behind.
Port City.
The reaction of our own army was also as expected by Ding Kui and others. The commander of the Northern Fifth Army led an army of 40,000 to ambush between Qinglan City and Xixuan City. When he learned that the main force of the 71st Division had appeared in Port City, he summoned them overnight.
Haotong and Langchun waited until daybreak to set off with their entire army and headed for Port City.
In addition, thousands of cavalry chased the three-way decoy of the 71st Division, but were scared off by a great martial artist in the area near Port City. Half of the three-way decoy turned into scouts and scattered around the west of Port City, while the other half retreated
In the city.
The next day the weather was fine, the weather was clear, the wind was gentle, and the weather was most suitable for crossbowmen and cavalry to fight.
Ding Kui commanded the mixed division to go out of the city to prepare for battle, practice formation coordination, and warm up for the upcoming battle.
"Report!" Shao Diancheng was sent out as a scout by Ding Kui. "A large number of enemy scouts poured out from the direction of Qinglan City. They move in squadron units. The ones at the front are already close to Fencha Town."
"Send the order, all scouts gather near Fencha Town to stop the enemy, and the mixed division sets off!" Ding Kui did not hesitate and immediately ordered the attack.
The cavalry of the mixed division went first, the crossbowmen and infantry were in the middle, and the auxiliary troops were in the rear. Ten thousand horses rushed to Sancha Town at the fastest marching speed.
Dong Ba led five thousand fine cavalry to the east of Sancha Town first, and found that the enemy's and our scouts were chasing each other, catching each other and fighting in the open wilderness, and the fight was very lively.
When the scouts of our own army saw Dong Ba's arrival, they did not dare to fight, so they turned their horses and retreated into Sancha Town.
"Order all the scouts to withdraw to the port city. Our troops will guard the exit of Sancha Town and wait for the Chinese army to come and build a position." Dong Ba commanded his men to approach Sancha Town.
A white light flashed in the sky, and Ao Yan held a magic wand and came to the sky above the five thousand cavalry to prevent her country's sixth-level warriors from sneaking up on them.
To be honest, Dong Ba is not afraid of a small number of level six warriors. The proportion of fearless knights in the 71st Division is very high, reaching 5%, with more than 500 people. Even if he only brings half of them out, he can still do whatever he wants.
With two or three hundred together, plus the cooperation of more than a thousand shield-breaking knights, there is no pressure to resist two sixth-level combatants.
However, Ding Kui had someone on hand, he was willful, and specially assigned a forbidden magician to the five thousand knights. The White Dragon Girl has super mobility and excellent one-on-one ability, so she is very suitable for cooperating with Dong Ba's troops in combat.
"Fuck!" Lang Chun saw the beautiful woman in white robe in the sky from a distance. He didn't dare to lead his scouts to attack forcefully, so he had to turn around and go back to discuss it with Haotong.
Ding Kui commanded the Chinese army to arrive outside Sancha Town near noon, flew around in the sky, found a slightly raised earth slope and stopped on it, and ordered the infantry to come over and build a position.
The infantry's position is very simple, just a tunnel one thousand meters long and one meter deep, while the crossbowmen set up a large formation ten meters behind the tunnel.
The crossbow formation is simpler. They are arranged in three rows horizontally, with a distance of two meters between the rows. The direction is facing the exit of Sancha Town, about two thousand meters away.
After the auxiliary soldiers arrived, they helped the second and third rows of crossbowmen dig and raise their positions so that the three rows of crossbowmen formed a terrace to prevent the crossbowmen in front from affecting the sight behind them.
When Dong Ba saw that the crossbowmen were in formation, he ordered his troops to divide into two groups and go around to the side and rear of the crossbowmen formation, ready to support the two wings of the crossbowmen formation at any time.
Huan Qiao led the magicians from Hengfu City and the magicians from the 71st Division to assemble behind the crossbow formation to provide air support at any time.
During this period, some scouts from our own army came out to investigate the formation of Shaodian's army. They were attacked from the air without even taking a second look. Ding Kui, Ding Kun and Ao Yan forcefully blocked the exit of Sancha Town.
Feng Run, the commander of the Northern Fifth Army, asked in surprise: "You are not mistaken, are you? How did Ding Kui and others get here? Do they not want Hengfu City?"
Lang Chun smiled bitterly and said: "It's not surprising. The three people in front are only half of Hengfu City's high-end combat power. The other half will definitely stay in Hengfu City."
"Commander Feng, please rest assured. Our magicians have an absolute advantage, and we have asked for help from the war zone camp. We will not lose to the Shaodian people in terms of high-end combat power." Haotong encouraged Feng Run.
There are only two sixth-level combatants on the card, him and Lang Chun, so they can't take advantage of their opponents now that they start fighting.
"The order was sent to the 44th Division to speed up, and the 45th Division followed closely behind. The magicians team cooperated with the War Supervisor and Master Lang to drive back the enemy masters." Feng Run was surprised, but he was not afraid of three level six combatants.
After all, he has tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of magicians under his command.
"Aha, it's the two of them!" Ding Kui spotted enemies flying from a distance, and the two people at the front were Haotong and Lang Chun who were missing.
"Do you want to look good to them?" Ao Yan was about to make a move.
Ding Kun didn't say anything, because he found that there were three to four hundred magicians in his country, and the enemy was not as easy to deal with as he thought.
"Forget it, it seems that the three of us can't gain the upper hand. There are tens of thousands of people on the ground in darkness. Let's act according to the plan." Ding Kui is the main general today. He has to command the overall situation and cannot fight as he wants.
The three people slowly retreated to the sky above the crossbow formation.
A large number of our own infantry rushed out of Fencha Town and formed a formation more than a thousand meters away from the crossbow formation. Then cavalry rushed out to protect the two wings of the infantry formation, facing the Shaodian Army's formation far away.
Haotong and Langchun had clearly seen the formation set up by Ding Kui. There were only about 10,000 people blocking the front, and there were no other ambush nearby.
"Hahaha, Ding Kui, I want to thank you for bringing so many people here to die. If you guys huddled in the city, I would still have a headache." Haotong flew out alone and pointed at Ding Kui.
Ding Kui also flew out alone and said to Haotong: "I will not tell my people that you are actually my internal agent. If it weren't for you trying to transfer Lang Chun, I wouldn't have had the chance to kill Zhan Jie."
"What?" Haotong didn't know that Zhan Jie was dead yet, "Don't brag here. Come and see if you have what it takes to kill me. I'll give you one hand."
"Hahaha, don't pretend," Ding Kui pointed to his own troops on the ground, "They will get the news soon. Zhan Jie was killed by me at about this time yesterday. Why should I kill your spy? I made an appointment.
