On New Year's Eve, all major commanders, generals and staffs kept vigil with the soldiers. They also visited military camps, fortresses, cities and other surrounding sentries, and gave delicious food to the sentries. Those with wealth even gave out rewards, like Ding Kui.
Generous, one gold coin per person.
Not only did the fighting in Nanqiu County cease, but the fighting across the country was also suspended. The rebels also negotiated with the court to negotiate a ceasefire during the New Year.
Ji Jun interrupted the third negotiation and returned to the country. This time there was some progress. He knew that he had to bribe some important officials of the Shaodian Kingdom and that he had to pay a price to occupy a piece of land.
Gong Le followed Ding Kui on a tour of the camp and saw that Ding Kui was happy, so he asked: "Sir, General Qiao asked his subordinates if they would like to serve as captain of the 80th Division. What do you think?"
"Okay, the 80th Division fought bravely. It did suffer a lot of losses some time ago. It needs experienced and capable people. There is nothing wrong with you replenishing the establishment.
I will say hello to General Qiao, and the headquarters will issue the documents. You have to remember that in the future, you will have to use your brain and not act recklessly when encountering problems." Ding Kui agreed to Gong Le's transfer.
Except for a specific few of his soldiers, the rest can be delegated to middle-level officers in other units. This is a common practice in the military.
This was the purpose of the Gong family sending Gong Le to follow Ding Kui. Ding Kui also knew in his heart that if he wanted to cultivate his own power, he could not rely solely on his own family. He needed to unite people from all walks of life and form an alliance across the family.
His time in the army was still short, and he mostly relied on the remaining power of his family. There were only two people who stepped out from his side, Ding Cai and Gong Le. As time goes by, more soldiers will step out. In the army,
The power will increase day by day.
Neither our country nor the rebels broke the armistice agreement. 4879 arrived in peace. The people in the war zone had only one New Year's wish, which was peace!
Ding Kui was playing with a New Year's gift, which was specially sent by Qian Bu from Wan Ban. A single gun could shoot three rounds at a time. It used special crossbow arrows, and the arrows could be coated with poison.
"How many repeating crossbows have been made?" he asked Wan Ban.
"One hundred of them, General Dong has seen them and feels they are less powerful."
"The power is small. In fact, three shots suddenly fired at close range are quite powerful. Well, the cavalry mostly uses guns and swords in close combat. They don't have time to take out the crossbow, but the special operations camp can use it. Go back and tell Grandpa Qian that this crossbow is equipped with a special
Exclusively for war camps."
"Okay, I'll take note of my humble duty."
Ding Kui glanced at Wan Yu next to him and said, "Go and ask Commander Lei to come over."
The two Wan brothers, one in the territory and one by his side, each had his own development and chose a different path. Ding Kui tried his best to give them a chance to repay Wan Mai for saving his life.
Lei Feixiang walked in wearing the new military uniform of the Red Army that protects the country. He looked mighty and strong. The iconic fat on his body disappeared, and he completely lost the title of "Fat Man Lei".
"Who can take over from you in the Crossbow Corps?"
Ding Kui appointed Lei Feixiang as the first crossbow regiment commander, but he wanted to change the appointment within a few months.
"Is there anything that my subordinates didn't do well?" Lei Feixiang was not mentally prepared at all. The position of leader was not yet popular. After all, he was the first leader in history.
"There is a place that needs you more. Take a look at this crossbow." Ding Kui handed the repeating crossbow to Lei Feixiang, "I want to change the special operations battalion into a special forces regiment. There will be two battalions temporarily. You will be the commander of the special forces regiment.
One mission was to study tactics for using repeating crossbows."
He changed the name of the special operations battalion to a more familiar name, and the troops using the most advanced weapons were worthy of the special forces.
"Yes! Your Excellency has given such an important task to your subordinate, and I promise to complete the task!" Lei Feixiang solemnly took over the repeating crossbow and started playing with it on the spot.
He needs to master this weapon quickly, and he can ask questions immediately if he finds something he doesn't understand.
The structure of the repeating crossbow is not complicated. The trigger has three sections, and each section pops out a string and controls an arrow trough. Its advantage is that it can shoot three arrows quickly, but its disadvantage is that it is less powerful and slow to load arrows.
"This crossbow can't penetrate fine armor?" He first discovered this shortcoming.
"The enemy is not like us. Fine armor is standard equipment and only worn by mid- to high-level officers. The combat environment of special forces is usually not a frontal battlefield. They specialize in attacking the enemy's weak points. The attack power of the repeating crossbow has been adapted to most environments. It can be matched with some
The golden bamboo crossbow is enough for pulling."
"Oh!" Lei Feixiang realized that he had gone into a misunderstanding, "Yes, what you said makes sense, your subordinates should not blindly pursue high attack, but high efficiency. Special operations battalion, ah no, special forces emphasize killing with one hit.
A strong attack will destroy the enemy, and three consecutive shots of this crossbow can establish an advantage in a short period of time."
"It's a good meeting." Ding Kui looked at his old teammates who had adventures in the Hengduan Mountains with joy. "Quick, accurate, and ruthless. These are the combat requirements of the special forces. You need to design tactics around this center. Don't solidify your thinking on routine.
Tactics."
"Does that mean we can formulate tactics that have never been done before?" Lei Feixiang drew inferences from one example. He was not originally from the regular army. He had gone through many wild paths when he was in the adventure group, so he was best suited to study new tactics.
"Of course! It just requires an unprecedented fighting method. It's best to beat the enemy without knowing why, but if you want to have actual combat effects, you can't just dream about it." Ding Kui overturned his decision and forced Lei Feixiang to be the leader of the special forces.
It makes sense.
"Please don't worry, sir. I'll go back and think it over carefully." After Lei Feixiang learned about the new weapons, he had already decided which ones to discuss tactics with.
The special operations battalion has been established for a while, and has gone through many actual battles. The earliest batch of veteran team members can provide valuable opinions, which is much better than him being alone in the barracks.
After all, combat cannot be completed by one person. The more people cooperate, the stronger the combat effectiveness.
The establishment of the special forces was Ding Kui's first official task in the new year. He also personally designed a military flag for the special forces. The pattern was a golden bamboo crossbow and an injured, bleeding and twisted earth-turning dragon.
I heard from Dai Le that that guy Long Shuang has also come to Nanzhao Prefecture and is currently training new recruits at the base camp. He should be asked to design a complete set of equipment for the special forces.
Ding Kui remembered that Long Shuang had served in the Equipment Department, and was later sent to the new barracks in Yangyuan Prefecture. He was recommended by Long Yuan to join the Twelve Legions, and then traveled all the way to Nanma Prefecture. The most important thing was that Long Shuang had the skills to build matching equipment.
Experience and knowledge base.
It is not surprising that the equipment of the regular army and ordinary militiamen is not surprising. He wanted to create a unique elite army. Now that new weapons are available, other equipment must keep up to become a force with a legacy.
In fact, Long Shuang has been incorporated into the first brigade of the 112th Division. This cavalry brigade is Yuan Jinhui's main force. It includes many children of the Long family and has considerable combat effectiveness.
Whoa, there was a flash of white light, and Ao Yan, with her white skirt fluttering, flashed directly into the Chinese army tent.
"Huh? Didn't you go to the orphanage to visit those children?" Ding Kui had noticed the fluctuation of magic power and was mentally prepared. He mainly didn't believe that the wolf-faced woman would come to pay him New Year greetings.
"Sometimes when I don't see them, they miss me even more. I can clearly feel it." Ao Yan found a chair and sat down.
Wan Yu, who was outside the door, poked his head in and took a look. After seeing the person clearly, he shrank back.
"By the way, I noticed a trace of wind element rules in your girlfriend."
"How is it possible? Why didn't you notice it before?" Ding Kui was surprised and knew that the so-called girlfriend was Ruan Xingzhu.
Ao Yan is an underage dragon. Although the dragon soul is strong, its strength is below level seven. She can detect it, which means that experts above level seven can detect it. Maybe grandpa can. The son of the elements is Ruan Xingzhu's secret and must not be easily let to others.
I know, Xiao Longnu is fine.
"She used the teleportation technique right in front of me. I could detect it for a moment, but she couldn't do it when she was far away."
"Then how far away do you think you can't detect it? This secret about her cannot be exposed. Just like you are the White Dragon Girl, I want to remind her." Ding Kui frowned.
Ao Yan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Oh, no wonder you are so nervous. It's probably a hundred or two hundred meters away. It depends on whether you observe carefully. If someone concentrates on investigating, it may be further away."
"What about other magic she uses? Can you detect it?" Ding Kui asked.
"For the time being, it's teleportation. I haven't tried anything else, so I don't know." Ao Yan shrugged, "Qilin likes the Son of Elements?"
"Hey, do you know the Son of the Elements? I do like her, but I can't explain why." This was something Ding Kui didn't expect.
"Of course I know. The Dragon Clan has a very deep understanding of human beings. Many of the people who deal with the Dragon Clan are children of the elements."
"That's right. Children of elements can easily become god-level beings. It's natural to deal with dragons. I've been with you in the human world for a long time, and I treated you as a human being for a while. It was my fault."
"Sometimes I feel like a human being and have some very strange emotions. I can't tell whether they are good or bad."
"It's okay, as long as it doesn't affect your practice. Well, I'll tell her about Xingzhu when she comes back. I need to trouble you to try more and remind her to pay attention to casting spells in the future. In addition, I need to trouble you to send one to Jiaxin City.
information."
Ding Kui happened to catch a young man and asked Ao Yan to send a message to the base camp and invite Long Shuang to come to Baiqiu Town as a guest. There is still some time before the armistice ends.
Qianyou could have done this kind of thing, but Qianyou ran home to be with his wife.
Baiqiu Town is not far from Jiaxin City. Ao Yan came back after a cup of tea. "There has been no progress in cultivation recently. I came here to ask you." She suddenly remembered the reason why she came here.
"We have encountered a bottleneck." Ding Kui first thought of this, "Is there a ceremony for dragons to come of age? Or a kind of transformation? Or does it mean that they don't have to go through some special process?" He had always wanted to ask but had no chance, and now he happened to be talking to Ao Yan
Learn about.
"No, does shedding a dragon's horn count once?" Ao Yan blinked, not thinking of any special process.
"Oh, so are there any people who can't shed their dragon horns? They just can't reach adulthood. Are the shed dragon horns useful?" Ding Kui was thinking about the dragon horns.
"There are no dragons who cannot reach adulthood, but according to records, there are some who cannot transform into dragon horns. They are very rare. Only one appears every ten thousand years."
