"It's better for me to lead the troops to test." Ding Kui was in a meeting to discuss today's dispatch of troops. "Today's battle needs to be more cautious and bring experts. Only I can mobilize the sixth level combat power. It is also the turn of the 75th Division to take action.
.”
When he said this, Shu Li and Luo Tao couldn't object. The key was that the enemy had masters and they were not confident that they could deal with it.
The officers and soldiers of the 75th Division were extremely happy. It had been a long time since they had been organized into battles. The sporadic participation of individual brigades could not represent the entire division. Today was the first time that the entire division went to battle after Yu Zhong left his post.
Fan Yuzhen led the team to open the way in combat formations, sometimes with crane wings, sometimes with cones, sometimes with arrows, which changed according to different terrain conditions. The smooth and fast formation switching showed extremely high tactical literacy.
Zhang Dingyuan commanded the second and third brigades as rearguards. The two thousand-man phalanxes were either in front or in parallel, advancing and retreating steadily and casually, as if they were marching in a safe area.
The person in the middle of the arrangement is Fei Ze, who is always paying attention to the situation in the sky, and Ding Kui is leading the flying magician group.
Ding Kui flew higher, and his eyes were equipped with the eagle eye technique. He could see an area of more than ten miles in radius. If the terrain was not undulating, he could see further.
"Let them stop and occupy the southeast slope." Ding Kui shouted to the bottom.
Ganyou received the order and waved a red flag downwards. Simple flag language could not faze him. If it was a very complicated order, he would fly down to deliver it.
Receiving such an order in an enemy-occupied area meant that they were about to encounter enemy troops. Fan Yuzhen's brigade immediately divided into two teams and ran around the slope. As the forwards, they had to quickly check the terrain and make defensive deployments based on the characteristics of the slope.
Fei Ze rode his horse and rushed to the top of the slope, carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then ordered the Chinese army and rear guards to form a "pin" formation, with Fan Yuzhen's brigade on guard at the outermost circle.
Qian You flew to Ding Kui's side, looked around and asked, "Where are the enemies?" He saw no movement.
Ding Kui pointed to the east-north direction and said: "Here, there are two troops approaching the two dust heads over there, one fast and one slow. The ones in front should be cavalry."
Then he pointed back at a white cloud in the southern sky and said, "If you guessed it correctly, the Blue Eyes Mask is hiding there, and a few of our country's sixth-level warriors will come soon."
Qian You could see two dust heads, but there was nothing unusual about the white cloud. He couldn't be blamed for his lack of strength.
"Take the magicians down, they are too conspicuous in the air." Ding Kui held back his hand and let the magicians fly down to cover up others' eyes. At the same time, he made a face at Bai Yun, who looked like a blue-eyed mask.
The current location of the 75th Division belongs to Nanqiu County. It is less than three miles away from Chunlu City and more than ten miles away from Baiqiu Town. It is an area where the county's own troops can project their forces.
"Cavalry?" Fei Ze was a little nervous after hearing what Qian You said, "The third, fifth, and ninth brigades went to dig horse pits outside the defense circle."
Infantry is at a disadvantage when dealing with cavalry. The 75th Division only has a thousand cavalry. It must be used in conjunction with tactics and it is impossible to fight against the enemy's cavalry division.
Fei Ze once served in the General Staff Office, and his qualifications were far superior to those of division staff Zhang Dingyuan. The officers and soldiers of the 75th Division were not reluctant to accept his command, and Zhang Dingyuan was also willing to assist him.
Each team ran out of the "pin"-shaped formation and dug pits outside Fan Yuzhen's team. Horse pits can be deep or shallow. Most of the temporary battlefields are shallow, as long as the horse speed can be reduced.
Ding Kui was able to observe both the enemy troops and the actions of his subordinates from the sky, and was very satisfied with the 75th Division's response to the battle.
Fan Yuzhen took out some of the throwing spears under the command, and chose a relatively flat and open place to set up earth-made resisting horses to increase defensive measures against the cavalry.
Jiao Mingguang touched the fine armor on his body and said confidently: "Hey, our country's cavalry is here to give us military exploits."
Nowadays, the fine armor of the division has spread to squadron leaders, and some squad leaders can also equip it, which adds a lot of combat effectiveness.
These fine armors basically came from the workshops in Hengfu City. They were all seized from the local army of our country by the Red Army that protected the country. They were modified by craftsmen into the style of the Shaodian Army. Ding Kui personally donated them to equip the 74th and 75th Divisions.
"Team Jiao, grab a few more horses this time. We can change them to a cavalry squadron." Sang Niu said while rubbing his hands.
Jiao Mingguang laughed and scolded: "If I change it, can you fight on horseback? It would be great if I don't beat you half to death."
"Captain Jiao, can you teach your subordinates? You are the equestrian champion of our team."
"Your size is suitable for the heavy cavalry. Generally, war horses and camels can't move you. Tell me how heavy the mallet in your hand is." It's not that Jiao Mingguang refuses to teach his subordinates, it's because he is not suitable for mourning cattle.
"That's not a mallet! It's a mace!" Sang Niu protested, "It only weighs a thousand pounds." After saying that, he felt that it would tire out the war horse, so he couldn't help but touch his mouth.
"Stop talking nonsense! There's something moving." Fan Yuzhen came over at some point and pointed at the ground towards Jiao Mingguang.
Jiao Mingguang immediately lay down and listened with his ear to the ground, "Well, there are at least several thousand cavalry approaching." Ding Kui in the sky had already seen the enemy clearly, "Oh, the cavalry troops put together, I thought they were from the Third Army of the North."
Not every army has a cavalry division. The Third Northern Army has one, but the Fourth Northern Army does not. Ding Kui couldn't tell the difference before seeing the flags clearly. The patchwork cavalry units did not have a unified flag.
Ding Kui was still in the air and had no intention of going down to command the battle. He left all the power to Fei Ze. He listened to what Jiang Tong taught him, and he let go of what his men could do as much as possible.
"Humph, Yudi is very careful." He saw many black spots flying into the sky, and estimated that the number was no less than five hundred, all of which were undoubtedly magicians.
A normal division is equipped with 80 to 120 magicians, and more can be added at any time if necessary to ensure the safety of ground troops.
There are at most 40,000 to 50,000 troops in Nanqiu County. It is impossible to send them all to deal with the 75th Division. More than 500 magicians are obviously excessive. This must be aimed at the masters of Shaodian Kingdom.
"Pay attention to the east!" Fei Ze put down his telescope, "The archers are waiting under the general's flag."
The 75th Division went out today and equipped a brigade of archers. Immediately, a thousand people poured into the center of the word "pin", which is the top of the slope. Because the enemy may not attack from the front, especially the highly mobile cavalry,
The archers under the general's banner can reinforce in any direction.
"The horse trap within a hundred steps has been dug." Zhang Dingyuan came running to report to Fei Ze.
"Okay, the 3rd, 5th, and 9th brigades will return to their own formation." Fei Ze handed Ding Fen a green flag.
Ding Fen picked up the green flag with a long bamboo pole and waved it next to the general's flag. "Woo!" the trumpeter blew a long whistle to signal the troops to check the flag.
Beep, beep, beep, when the group leader saw the retreat order, he blew the brass whistle. The squadron leader immediately approached him and blew the whistle. The soldiers who were digging the hole immediately stopped what they were doing and, under the leadership of the squad leader, looked for the squadron leader.
Assemble the formation, then organize the formation under the command of the captain, and finally run back to the position in the defensive circle.
"It's really powerful. The Kong family army and even the Red Army protecting the country can't do it so neatly." Gong Le whispered in Fei Ze's ear.
This series of actions are practiced in the Hengfu City training camp. The soldiers of the Red Army who can be called the Protector of the Country have practiced it many times, but their execution on the battlefield is obviously not as good as that of the officers and soldiers of the 75th Division.
"Elite troops can defeat ordinary troops. Not only are their combat capabilities stronger, but their overall tactical literacy is much higher. What you have in front of you is the ace army of Shaodian Kingdom, the leading elite army of our military. It cannot be trained in three to five years.
"Do you know why they don't have a division commander?" Fei Ze picked up the telescope to observe the enemy.
"Why?"
"All those who can join the Eighth Army as division commanders are famous generals with outstanding military exploits. Just mention any name, and people in the military will give a thumbs up. For example, our Lord Ding, the military power of the Twenty-first Army, is well-known among the people.
Flying general.
You should know the situation in the country. All the troops are in a state of combat readiness. For a while, there is no famous general to transfer to the 75th Division. The slightly famous ones are still unable to convince the public. In addition to other unspeakable reasons, there is no suitable general.
Candidate."
"I wonder if I can serve as a general in the Eighth Army in my lifetime!" Gong Le encouraged himself.
"You first learn how to be a captain. Here are ten people for your reference."
A cavalry unit stopped three miles away from the 75th Division. They probably saw Ding Kui in the air and did not attack Shaodian's army immediately.
"Ouch, it's moving." The white cloud that Qian You had been paying attention to suddenly accelerated and flew towards Ding Kui.
Ding Kui turned to Bai Yun and said with a smile: "I can't help but pull! Are you afraid that I will surprise that cavalry team?"
Baiyun came to a stop a mile away from Ding Kui, showed a figure, and said: "I can't tell what you will do, so I can't take risks."
"Who else will help you? Biyan Mask." Ding Kui hooked his hand downwards.
Gong Le swung his arms and threw a spear, which was Ding Kui's usual weapon, the Split Wind Cone.
"They are all your acquaintances. I know them as soon as I see them. No need for me to introduce them." Biyan Mask did not follow Ding Kui's words and answered. He refused to give his name, lest Ding Kui catch him and falsely accuse him of collaborating with the enemy.
Ding Kui grabbed the tail of the gun and shook it towards Biyan Mask. The gun light drew a red line in the air, and his speed was a little faster than before.
The blue-eyed mask stretched out a hand, and a magic wand suddenly appeared. The head of the wand lit up a white light. The white light turned into a huge ice cube in an instant, blocking the front of the gun light.
"If you don't agree, take action. It was right for me to come earlier." He did not launch a counterattack and seemed to just stare at Ding Kui.
"It doesn't matter if you come early or late, you will leave later anyway. There is a place that needs you more." Ding Kui pursed his lips and smiled.
"What do you mean?" Biyan Mask quickly turned his head and glanced, "What other tricks are you trying to do? Are you the one who caused the abnormality in Chunlu River?"
"I really want to tell you." Ding Kui quickly turned his head and took a look. Dense black spots in the distance were approaching at high speed, and the cavalry troops below began to circle around the slope occupied by the 75th Division.
"But, I said it, do you believe it?" The fighting spirit dragon under his feet bowed and shot out.
