Chapter 1027: Suppressing the Army with an Iron Fist (Part 1)
"The Duke of Tang is rebellious. Ding Kui has known about it for a long time, and he only dared to come to make trouble with the eldest princess. Do you really think that the Duke of Tang is so easy to mess with? Even His Majesty the King cannot humiliate a Duke at will.
Don't worry, you're not the only one who does this, we all do it. At worst, work harder when you go to the battlefield to prove that you are useful to him, and this matter will be over soon." Zhong Jiong tried his best to comfort Xiao Yanding.
These captains were discussing in private, and their subordinates also heard about it, especially Zhong Jiong's second brigade.
"Didn't you say that you have to get to Kada City tonight because of Lord Ding's order?"
The person who asked the question was Zhou Hongbin, captain of the third squadron of the second brigade, and Yan Yao, the captain of the second squadron, replied: "I heard that Lai Minfu of the bell squad refused to travel at night and refused to carry out Master Ding's orders."
"Isn't this nonsense? I'll tell the civilians how dare they disobey military orders!" Zhou Hongbin wanted to go to the civilian camp on the spot.
Yan Yao pulled Zhou Hongbin and whispered: "Don't be impulsive. It's Captain Zhong's responsibility to disobey military orders. If you act on your own, you are disobeying Captain Zhong's orders. In the future, Master Ding will deal with you as well when dealing with Captain Zhong."
Unless otherwise specified, military orders are issued step by step. The division commander gives orders to the group leader, and the group leader gives orders to the squadron leader, and so on; in the event of disobeying orders, it is the junior officers and those who directly disobey the orders who will be punished.
"Then our Second Battalion will be implicated by Zhong Jiong and become a unit that disobeys orders? Do we still have the nerve to stay in the legion?"
The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Army pride themselves on completing orders most efficiently. It would be a shame if the execution is similar to that of an ordinary army, let alone if it cannot be completed. Zhou Hongbin cannot agree with Zhong Jiong's approach.
"It's not just the Second Battalion that was dragged down by the Bell Team. Except for the cunning First Battalion, the entire division couldn't execute a simple marching order." Yan Yao expressed helplessness.
"Hey!" Zhou Hongbin kicked away half of the dead branches, "How should I explain to the brothers?"
There were quite a few squadron leaders like Zhou and Yan who doubted that the troops had not continued on their way. Some even went to ask the captain in charge, but were scolded back by the captain who was in a bad mood. The reasons were different.
Lin Xuanmo went to several village leaders and got vague answers, which roughly meant "if we want to go together, we want to stay together," but no one was willing to take the lead.
The time was getting closer and closer to midnight, and the temporary camp became quieter and quieter. Most of the civilians crowded into the tents to rest, and only a few military camps still had people walking around.
Beep! Suddenly a police whistle sounded, and an officer immediately ran out of the camp to check.
I saw a ball of red light flying from the sky, quickly approaching the temporary camp. The speed was faster than the full sprint of a war horse. In the blink of an eye, I could clearly see the figure of a person in the red light.
"That's the Dominator Knight!" the experienced person immediately shouted.
Lin Xuanmo suddenly became excited and shouted loudly: "Yes, that's Ding Kui, Lord Ding!"
"What? Our division commander? Lord Ding!"
"Wow, Lord Ding is already a master knight!"
"That's right, that's right, that's what Staff Lin said just now."
…
A master knight came to the camp, and it turned out to be the division leader Ding Kui. The news spread like wildfire and spread quickly in the camp.
"What! Ding Kui is the master knight." Fu Dun's face was gloomy, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"My lord is the Dominant Knight." Ji Zhubao looked up at the figure in the sky, looking thoughtful.
"Well? He was flying in the direction of Staff Lin. How did he find his location so quickly?" Zhong Jiong frowned.
"Oh my god, the master knight of the Ding family! The commander-in-chief must also give him face. The 74th Division is about to change." Xiao Yanding couldn't help but tremble.
This time there was no need for Staff Lin to send someone to notify, all the captains ran towards the place where the red light fell.
That's right, Ding Kui was furious when he received Lin Xuanmo's second letter. He picked up Yue Shang and flew out of Kada City, causing a chaos in the city. The city lord's palace sent someone to inform him that it was the commander of the 74th Division.
After leaving the city, Ding Kui immediately switched to magic flight, during which he also used two teleports. He rushed to the temporary camp of the baggage troops faster than the letter eagle, and only switched to fighting spirit flight when he got close to the camp.
"Are you here?" He looked at the captains who were arriving one after another with a straight face. Lin Xuanmo beside him nodded and said, "Yes, the nine captains are here."
"Return to your camp immediately, assemble your troops urgently and wait for orders!" Ding Kui issued a brief order.
All the captains of the brigade didn't know why, but the content of the order was very clear and the execution was very simple, so they rushed all the way back to the camp where their brigade was located.
"What's going on?" Ding Kui then asked Lin Xuanmo. If he had asked Lin Xuanmo just now, it might be inconvenient to say something.
Lin Xuanmo calmed down and told everything that happened before.
"It seems that I came right. The division staff can't command them. This is the rhythm that forces me to take action. Let's go to the second brigade first." Ding Kui understood in his heart that what Sun Yilei said was the truth. Some people
I no longer care about the honor of the military.
Zhong Jiong's heart thumped, and he saw Ding Kui walking into his camp first, "The second brigade has been assembled. There should be one thousand and one people, but there are actually one thousand and one people. Please give me your instructions."
He came to Ding Kui with anxiety.
"Did you say that the civilians refused to go on their way?" Ding Kui didn't waste any time and asked Zhong Jiong directly in front of all the officers and soldiers of the second brigade.
"That's true." Zhong Jiong answered bravely, "The first brigade irresponsibly left their post without authorization, leaving the convoy in front unsupervised, which slowed down the task of the large brigade. And the civilians who had been traveling for days were exhausted.
I don’t want to travel all night long because I think I can reach Kada City tomorrow.”
"Didn't you receive my military order?" Ding Kui's voice was very stern.
The military order was passed to Staff Lin after the First Battalion left. Zhong Jiong could not use the First Battalion as a shield.
"My subordinates have received the message, and they can try their best to persuade the civilian husband to no avail. It is not that I intend to disobey your order." Zhong Jiongheng made up his mind and passed the responsibility to the civilian husband.
"Master Ding, I have something to say in my humble position!"
Someone in the neatly lined up team raised a hand.
Zhong Jiong turned his head and looked at me, and said angrily: "How outrageous! It's not your turn to interrupt when I'm talking to you."
"Shut up!" Ding Kui shouted coldly to Zhong Jiong.
"Sir, subordinate..." Zhong Jiong was eager to explain, but Ding Kui pointed at his nose, his eyes widened, and he swallowed back half of his words.
Ding Kui turned his head and looked at Lin Xuanmo, "That's the captain of the third squadron, Zhou Hongbin." Lin Xuanmo introduced him immediately.
"Zhou Hongbin."
"The humble position is here!"
"Departure."
Zhou Hongbin took two big steps forward.
"Come here, tell me what you have to say in front of me." Ding Kui had a good impression of this guy who followed orders meticulously.
"Yes!" Zhou Hongbin strode up to Ding Kui and performed a standard military salute.
"I would like to report to Lord Ding that Captain Zhong has never persuaded the civilian husband, nor has he asked the humble officer to persuade the civilian husband. The humble officer thought that it would not be a problem to have the civilian husband come overnight."
"Nonsense! Zhou Hongbin is so bold that he dares to slander Shangguan in public. Come on, get him!" Zhong Jiong wanted to rush forward and strangle Zhou Hongbin to death.
"Who dares!" The fighting spirit armor on Ding Kui suddenly appeared, and a fighting spirit dragon condensed on top of his head.
This moment completely subdued everyone in the camp of the second brigade, and no one dared to move.
Are you kidding me? Going against a dominating knight? He is also the top leader of the division, the general who everyone must obey, the future commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, and the heir to the Lord Protector, Ding Kui!
"Zhong Jiong, you have repeatedly disobeyed the general's orders, deceived superiors and deceived subordinates, delayed military flights, and were suspected of collaborating with the enemy with evil intentions. What crime do you deserve!" Ding Kui shouted angrily, each word sonorous and loud.
Zhong Jiong's face turned pale in a flash, and he was labeled as a collaborator. This is a deadly rhythm.
How could Lin Xuanmo not understand what Ding Kui was thinking, so he immediately answered: "I will kill you according to the law."
"No! Sir, you can't do this to your subordinates." Zhong Jiong took two steps back, feeling that it was better to stay as far away from Ding Kui as possible at this time, and his body also showed the armor of fighting spirit.
"Humph, you want to violently resist the law?" Ding Kui said contemptuously, "You won't be tolerated there!"
Phew, the Dou Qi dragon suddenly disappeared. The next moment, Jiong's heart was in sharp pain, his eyes were bulging, and warmth surged in his throat. The Dou Qi and strength all over his body were like snowflakes falling into a fire, melting and vaporizing in the blink of an eye.
"In memory of your past meritorious service to the country, I will leave your body intact."
These were the last words Zhong Jiong heard before he died.
Hiss, almost everyone gasped, the captain died just like that, a fearless knight was killed instantly, and he had no ability to resist.
This is a war zone, and the 74th Division is a participating force. Simply delaying the fighter plane can lead to defeat. As the division commander, Ding Kui has the power to enforce military law.
The crime of delaying the fighter plane may be serious or minor. If Zhong Jiong is seriously investigated, his crime will not lead to death. As for whether he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, there will be no evidence at this time.
Even if the people in the elite legion have never seen such iron-blooded methods, they have heard of it. Even if some people are dissatisfied, they dare not jump out and accuse Ding Kui at this time.
"Zhou Hongbin."
"The humble position is here!"
"I have ordered you to be the acting captain of the second brigade and escort the headquarters' supplies to Qatar City immediately."
"I obey!" Zhou Hongbin temporarily became Ding Kui's direct subordinate.
"Do you have any questions?" Ding Kui pointed at the second brigade.
"No!"
"I can not hear clearly!"
"No!" all the officers and soldiers shouted with all their might.
"Very good, let's go to the third brigade." Ding Kui turned around with satisfaction, "Sir, Zhong, the body of Captain Zhong?" Zhou Hongbin raised his hand but did not dare to reach out to pull it.
Ding Kui paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said: "Take it with you, cremate it in Qatar City, and send it back to your hometown for a good burial."
"Yes!" Zhou Hongbin's voice was trembling. After all, Zhong Jiong was his former superior, and he was afraid that Ding Kui would abandon him in the wilderness.
Xiao Yanding didn't know what was going on next door, but he heard the shouting, which was obviously a response from his subordinates to his superior. He thought with his heels and knew that Ding Kui controlled the second brigade.
When he saw Ding Kui walking into the camp, he hurried forward to report: "The third brigade has been assembled. There should be one thousand people, but there are actually one thousand people. Please give me your instructions."
