On the first day of November, Ding Kui learned that Jizhou City had been recovered.
"Great! General Zhang is mighty and worthy of being my boss." He was happy for Zhang Jie.
"The 72nd Division is on its way back. Do you want to send a cavalry unit to Huatong City to pick them up?" Fei Ze asked.
"No, General Hua is eager to be attacked by surprise. He can only assist in recovering Jizhou City. He didn't get much credit in the last ambush. Send the order, and the 72nd Division will camp under Huatong City."
"Do you have a clever plan to capture Xixuan City?" Fei Ze didn't quite understand Ding Kui's order.
"I don't know if it can work, let's try it!" Ding Kui spread out a piece of paper and picked up a pen to write on it.
Fei Ze went to prepare military orders and did not ask what Ding Kui was writing.
As the sun set in the west, Ding Kui and Ao Yu flew out of the South Camp as usual to chat with Xia Fan. Finally, Ding Kui fired a wax pill at Xia Fan and said, "Watch it. If you agree to these conditions, I can join your country." After that, he deliberately squeezed.
Wink.
When returning to the camp, Ao Yu asked: "Do you really want to defect to your country?"
"Do you believe it?" Ding Kui showed an indifferent expression.
"Who knows what you are doing, but it doesn't feel normal."
"It seems that you are not stupid, so you don't believe everything I say." Ding Kui grinned.
"Are you kidding me?" Ao Yu's face turned dark.
"Hahaha, I originally wanted to play tricks on the enemy and make them jealous, but why did I bring you in? Well, I have something to do and I have other plans for the evening. You don't have to follow me when I go out.
"Ding Kui forced his smile away.
"I knew you had bad intentions." Ao Yu put away the dragon claw hidden behind his back and transformed back into a human hand.
At midnight, Ding Kui sneaked out of the military camp and ran towards a dark place in the corner of the city wall. There was no one here, and the candlelight of the defenders on the city could not shine, so he stood quietly in the darkness.
Not long after, a strong spiritual power swept across, and Ding Kui released his spiritual power to fight against it.
Whoosh, two figures jumped down from the city, "General Ding really kept his promise and came alone." The wolf-faced woman's voice fell from the air.
"Haha, I come with peace. It's enough to have someone who can speak effectively." Ding Kui spread his hands to indicate that he was not carrying weapons.
A weak white light flashed, Xia Fan put the magic wand into the space ring, held it with his palm, and exerted reverse wind force on those who were walking with him.
Jumping, the other man landed firmly on the ground and said, "I, Commander Feng Run, have met with General Ding."
"I've seen it, I've seen it. That guy Haotong tricked you several times." Ding Kui naturally recognized Feng Run.
"Ahem, the war supervisor is dedicated to the public good. General Ding should not sow discord."
Xia Fan closed his mouth and stood aside, seemingly not intending to participate in the conversation between Ding Kui and Feng Run.
"You invited me here not to speak ill of him, right?" Feng Run was a little embarrassed. Haotong didn't help the Northern Fourth Army gain any benefit, and he also wanted to complain in his heart.
"Oh, okay, you don't mind if he cheats you, and I don't care! Now let's talk about your situation. The situation in Jizhou City should be reported to you, right?" Ding Kui deliberately did not speak clearly.
"What? What does Jizhou City have to do with me?" Feng Run felt uneasy in his heart.
"At noon today, our 21st Army Corps recaptured Jizhou City and wiped out all the enemies defending the city. Yudi won't even tell you this, right?"
"This, so what?" Feng Run's heart was beating wildly, and there was really no news from the war zone base camp.
"Hehe, Yudi wants you to die in Xixuan City." Ding Kui saw some clues, "Okay, let's not talk about this! An army of fifty thousand will come to support me soon, along with two hundred battle magicians from Huashan County
Suixing, what can you do to resist?"
Xia Fan's eyes opened slightly. Two hundred battle magicians were enough to break the current balance of Xixuan City. Without the help of extra magicians, she could not stop Ding Kui and Ao Yu's strong attack.
"An army of 50,000? Are you scaring me?" Feng Runse asked sharply.
"You don't know how many divisions the 21st Army has in Nanqiu County? They brought them to the base camp to replenish new recruits, and now they're back. Did I say too much for 50,000 troops?" Ding Kui crossed his arms and said to Feng Run,
He didn't look anxious at all.
There was truth or lies in what he said, but Feng Run couldn't verify it anyway.
"There is no one in my legion who is afraid of death. No matter how many troops we bring, they will not scare us. We can only fight to the death!" Feng Run glanced at Ding Kui, "What do you want?"
"Yes, there are only three of us here, please speak sincerely.
First of all, I didn’t say you were afraid of death. Soldiers surrender their lives to the country when they go to the battlefield. Whether you die or not depends on the needs of the country. What help will it do to your country if you and all the soldiers and horses in the city die in battle? Retreating to the back can stop me.
The army's next attack.
Secondly, you can't cause much trouble to me even if you fight to the death. I can summon Ao Yan over at any time, and with the forbidden method of the Southern Demon Branch, I can break through three of your city gates with just one stick of incense. If you don't have the upper hand in terms of military strength, you won't have the strength to fight.
If you have the upper hand, you want to start a street fight with me?
In the end, you can still save your life by escaping with some of your subordinates. Otherwise, you will definitely bear all the blame for escaping back to the county alone. Maybe the failure of Jizhou City will also be blamed on you. Yudi can kill you alone.
All questions."
After Ding Kui finished speaking, he looked up at the night sky, leaving time and space for Feng Run to think carefully.
Feng Run's face was livid, whatever Ding Kui said could happen, if Xixuan City was breached, he would die if he stayed, and he would die if he escaped.
"You don't want the power of destroying the city and annihilating the enemy, so what are you talking to me about?" He calmed down and thought of some flaws.
Ding Kui showed an expression of appreciation and smiled: "Hahaha, good question! I need time and more credit.
I want to capture this place at the minimum cost, which requires cooperation from many aspects. The layout alone will take two or three days. If everything goes well, it will take at least four days before I can enter the city to celebrate. I have stayed in Xixuan City for too long, which will affect my stay in the country.
Expand your power.
When the 21st Army Corps comes over, its strength will exceed that of the troops under my command. No matter how you calculate it, half of the credit will be given to me. If I didn’t pay attention to this military achievement in the past, but the current situation in Shaodian Country, I will give the credit to
His subordinates are of great use.
The reason I invited you here is to discuss a win-win plan for us. Tomorrow you will lead your troops to move from the east. I will hold my troops still and pretend to send a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to allow your troops to leave Xixuan City unscathed. Then I will send troops to attack the city.
"
"How do I know whether what you said is true or false?" Feng Run was shaken, but he actually believed Ding Kui's words in his heart.
"It's very simple. Master Xia and I will go for a walk in Jizhou City later and we'll be back before dawn. If it's true or false, we'll know if it's true."
Ding Kui's proposal is very feasible. Xia Fan is not afraid of an ambush in Jizhou City. He can take a quick look and rush back without any danger, which is enough to verify what he said.
Feng Run looked at Xia Fan, he couldn't make the final decision on this matter.
"There's no need to go to Jizhou City. Someone reminded me that I lost it there." Xia Fan said lightly, "It's a magician's privilege! I brought you here to remind you that I can cooperate with you in whatever decision you make.
.”
She took Fengrun out of the city so late because there was a note hidden in Ding Kui's wax pill, which stated the time and place for negotiation with Fengrun. Before that, she already knew that Jizhou City had changed hands and that there was a magician.
Messages delivered through special channels.
Magicians on the battlefield have the right to know unfavorable news and prepare to escape in advance. Xia Fan knows that Ding Kui has the ability to gather several masters in a short period of time, but she does not have the ability to ensure that the gate of Xixuan City is not lost.
She is a guest minister who came to Xixuan City to help Feng Run defend the city. She does not have the war supervision function like Haotong, so there is no need to prevent Feng Run from escaping.
"Would the transfer be too obvious in broad daylight?" Fengrun immediately realized his situation.
"This can be discussed. Come on, tell me your opinion." Ding Kui showed sincerity.
"..."
The two discussed in front of Xia Fan how to fake a fight, how to hand over Xixuan City, how to ensure that Ding Kui would not send cavalry to pursue him, etc. Nothing could stop them from reaching a tacit agreement.
"What? Is there any enemy situation?" Ma Zhi was woken up by the soldiers and found that there was still some time before dawn.
"Master Ding has convened an emergency military meeting. Please come over immediately." The soldiers also looked confused.
"Oh? Okay, I'll go right away."
When Ma Zhi came to Nanda Camp, he found that Wang Chou and Zhong Wei were both there, and knew that something big had happened.
"What? The enemy is going to run away? Give up Xixuan City." Wang Chou thought he was in a dream, so he pinched his thigh so hard that it hurt so much that it flew up.
"Oh, Ding Shuai is not only very brave, but he also has extraordinary eloquence! This can also convince Feng Run to abandon the city and flee." Ma Zhi felt incredible. He couldn't figure out how Ding Kui persuaded Feng Run.
"The South Camp is easy to handle. Send the cavalry troops to Huatong City early in the morning. The remaining troops can man the camp fortifications and tell the soldiers to prevent the enemy from committing fraud." Zhong Wei immediately figured out how to execute the order without thinking about it at all.
How did Ding Kui convince Feng Run?
Wang Chou and Ma Zhi looked at each other with admiration. A local army commander showed very professional military qualities.
"Okay, let's wait until we enter the city tomorrow to talk about the nice things. Please strictly implement the tasks we just assigned, otherwise it will be bad if you don't make the enemy suspicious and don't run away." Ding Kui was too lazy to explain.
"Yes!" The generals took the order and left.
On November 2, all the cavalry in the South Camp were dispatched and rushed to Huatongcheng to meet the return of the 72nd Division, leaving only the crossbowmen and infantry of the Red Army protecting the country.
The defenders of Xixuan City suddenly abandoned the city. Ding Kui was worried that his own army was cheating, so he sent a large number of reconnaissance cavalry to detect the enemy's situation, and arranged a small group of troops to tentatively attack the city.
Xia Fan gathered his country's magicians and tried to storm the Western Camp. Fortunately, Ding Kui and Ding Yu arrived in time to stop them, and the two sides fought in the air.
A small force of the Shaodian Army succeeded in a sneak attack, and the Beidaying organized troops to rush into Xixuan City. Unexpectedly, Xia Fan fought and retreated, and retreated to Beicheng District to force back the Ma Zhi troops.
Ding Kui made a decisive decision and ordered the entire army to attack the city. He could not miss the opportunity to regain Xixuan City.
When Shaodian's army attacked the city from the north, west and south, Xia Fan fled to the east with his country's magicians.
At noon that day, Xixuan City was recovered.
"What? Take Xixuan City so quickly. I also want to send troops to reinforce Kui'er. Do you have a detailed report?" Jiang Xi once again received an unexpected victory.
