"Report, we have lost contact with Chunlu River Ferry."
Yudi's cheeks twitched, then relaxed again, "Send a magician to see what's going on."
"According to the research of my subordinates, Ding Kui rarely reveals his tactical purpose in the early stage. Are the enemies in the upper reaches of Chunlu River suspicious?" Gong Yelei asked.
"Are you sure that the enemy's commander is Ding Kui? The fighting resumed today. The enemy used several legions and cross-arms forces. Such a major operation is commanded by a division commander?" Yudi asked rhetorically.
"But what is the enemy's intention in attacking the ferry?" Gong Yelei thought hard and was puzzled.
"This is probably the intention to attack the weak points in the county and city area and force our army to retreat from the northern front." Yudi was actually not sure.
Most of our army's recent defeats were due to Ding Kui. Gong Yelei was studying Jiang Xi, and Jiang Zhi was also making great efforts to study Ding Kui.
From the time Ding Kui's squadron became famous in the first battle to the present, he had repeatedly read through all the battle cases and had a general understanding of Ding Kui's military use.
"The troops who pretended to attack Baiqiu Town reported that the enemy's 74th Division was defending. This division is directly under Ding Kui. Judging from this, he should not be in the camp." He was still wary of Ding Kui's whereabouts.
Bang bang, a staff officer hurriedly ran into the hall, saluted Yudi, and said: "Commander, the situation is not good. The magician sent to Chunlu River Ferry was killed in action."
If the wooden card dripping with the magician's essence and blood turns black and turns black, it means that the magician has died. This wooden card is called the life card.
The life cards of the magicians who follow the army are usually kept in the hands of the legion staff, and when they retire or transfer to the legion, they will be taken away by the magician himself.
Yu Di glanced at Gong Yelei and said, "The only one who can kill the magician is Ding Kui."
"Why don't you ask the War Supervisor to go check it out?" Gong Yelei thought thoughtfully.
"That's fine." Yudi nodded.
After a stick of incense, Haotong was intercepted by Ao Yu in the air near the ferry.
"Why are you here?" Haotong asked.
"I haven't asked you yet? I came here just because I found your trace. This place is close to the battlefield. What do you want to do?" Ao Yu asked aggressively.
"The magician of our army was killed in battle."
"Nonsense! There are no immortals on the battlefield? Do you think no one can kill the magician?"
"..." Haotong was speechless.
He didn't really want to come over in the first place, but he came to investigate due to the emergency of the war, fearing that Ding Kui would misunderstand that he wanted to take action.
"Well, I want to talk to Ding Kui." He made an excuse.
"I'm busy, what's there to talk about? Tell me the same thing."
"Haha, I hope everyone can keep their promise. People tend to be wordy when they get old. Say goodbye!" Haotong turned around and left.
Ao Yu was stunned. He didn't expect this guy to leave immediately. He thought he was going to argue for a while.
The price of violating the magic contract was too high, and Haotong didn't believe that Ding Kui could afford it. Once he heard that Ding Kui was busy, he basically knew who was at the ferry.
…
"Are you sure?" Yudi asked.
"That's right! That boy Ao Yu has always been straightforward and doesn't bother to hide his words and deeds. To say this must mean that Ding Kui is causing trouble at the ferry, and there should be a lot of noise." Haotong was very sure.
"Ding Kui is really at the ferry! Then he has another purpose." Gong Yelei's eyes fell on the sand table, "How many troops can he use? If he appears at the ferry at this time, he should not launch a water attack on Chunlu City.
, otherwise the troops downstream will be accidentally injured."
"I don't think so."
Yudi had other ideas.
"Perhaps he wants you to think so. It only takes a few hours to march from the ferry to Baiqiu Town, and the enemy can adjust their tactics at any time.
Ding Kui's control over the transition between reality and reality is very good, and he often waits for you to let down your guard and deliver a fatal blow. We must learn from Feng Run's lesson."
"Then please send more magicians to monitor them." Gong Yelei paid the most attention to Ding Kui's traces.
"Don't worry about them. There are enemy forces in the upper reaches of the Chunlu River. The 74th Division is in Baiqiu Town. Ding Kui has at most two divisions in his hands. There are not enough troops to attack Shuizhai, Dongxiong City or the county town.
The multiple harassment and attacks on Chunlu River Ferry in the past two days are just to attract our attention and contain our army's strength, not to mention that to deal with him, at least 300 magicians need to be dispatched, not counting the magicians under his command."
At this time, Yudi couldn't care about Ding Kui, he had more important things to deal with.
The troops attacking Dingjiang City are at a stalemate. No matter the strength, types of soldiers or the number of magicians, they do not have the conditions to defeat the enemy.
withdraw troops?
This is obviously not a good choice. The navy is fighting fiercely with the enemy on the river. Once it withdraws, it will be chased by warships upstream, which will definitely lead to a big defeat.
Send reinforcements?
This is a confusing choice. The main force of the Fourth Northern Army is already there. The Third Northern Army must guard the county and Chunlu City and beware of the main force of the enemy's Eighth Army. There are not many troops that can be mobilized and cannot change the situation on the battlefield.
Stalemate?
This is a bad idea. With one main force being held back, the Shaodian Army can do a lot of things around Dingjiang City, and there is a great chance of severely damaging their own army.
"Send additional magicians to the naval forces. Once in place, order the Northern Fourth Army to move, pretend to attack Xining City, and then wait for an opportunity to return to the county area."
The navy of our country sent a total of ten giant warships to support Yudi in capturing Nanqiu County. Five of them had been seriously damaged. Yudi could not bear any more losses to the navy.
The Red Army protecting the country was crossing the river, so Ding Kui was really busy and had no time to see Hao Dong.
The river water is very cold at this time of year, and the Red Army who are in excellent physical condition to protect the country should not cross the river. Liu Yu has organized all the boats in the territory to assist in transportation.
"The First Crossbow Regiment and the First Infantry Regiment have crossed the river." Zhong Wei was responsible for leading the team this time.
Ding Kui looked at the darkening sky and said: "The crossbowmen are aware of the scouts, the infantry will explore the route as planned, and will assemble at the predetermined location in three hours."
"Yes!" Xue Chong and Shao Dianfei answered together.
They are the commander of the crossbow regiment and the commander of the infantry regiment respectively.
Lei Feixiang was transferred to the commander of the special forces regiment, Shao Dianfei was transferred to the commander of the crossbow corps, and Xue served as the commander of the infantry regiment to suppress the veteran officers.
Ruan Xingzhu, Lu Ying, Ding Fen, Zeng Jian and other soldiers all returned to Ding Kui. Everyone looked serious and felt nervous and excited, facing the most special experience in life.
"Let me help explore the way." Ruan Xingzhu volunteered.
"Well," Ding Kui said with a deliberately sullen face, "Only one, you can't use teleportation unless your life is threatened!"
He doesn't play around on the battlefield, and only smiles at soldiers who have made military achievements. His way of running the army is deeply influenced by the inheritance of the Ding family, and he exudes an aura of fighting spirit and iron horse.
After being reminded by Ao Yan, Ruan Xingzhu knew the risks of using teleportation. After listening to Ding Kui's words, he felt sweet and felt that he was cool like this, much better than when he was smiling playfully.
Ao Yu came back and explained the situation of driving Hao Tong away.
"Hey, Brother Yu is amazing. He has no flaws at all. The old boy will go back with useful information. If you have nothing else to do, please go back and rest." Ding Kui guessed why Haotong left so fast.
"Today is the second time the wolf has come, and Mayor Liu's plan has been accomplished." Fei tightened his collar to stop the cold wind from pouring into his neck.
"Should the 71st Division have arrived at Dongxiong City by this time?" Ding Kui nodded, agreeing with Fei Ze's statement.
"It's almost as good as they haven't arrived yet. They helped clear the way for our troops. The key lies in Dingjiang City. I wonder how the battle on the river will turn out?" Fei Ze asked tentatively.
"Over there, the fighting is still going on. Our warships have merged with our own warships. Such a stalemate war will not be separated in a short time." Ding Kui seemed to have seen it with his own eyes.
This is also true. Ao Yan flew to the east side of the Tongyuan River and watched from a distance away from the battlefield. There were forbidden laws in the fleets of both armies. She could not participate in the battle, and it would be inconvenient to get too close, which would not be good for others to notice.
Ding Kui only needed to know the general situation, and she didn't have to look too carefully. In addition, the river surface was flat, and there was nothing blocking her sight. She was really watching the battle on the water like a reconnaissance plane.
At midnight, Ding Kui led two battalions of special forces, one regiment of crossbowmen and two regiments of infantry to the area of Dongxiong City and Chunlu Bay Water Village.
He specially brought Liu Tong with him for this operation, so that the secret passage left by the water village could finally be put to use.
"How far is the entrance to the secret passage?" he asked Liu Tong.
Liu Tong carefully observed the surrounding environment along the way and was very aware of his current location, so he replied: "Master Qi, let me lead the way now. We will be there in half an hour."
Ding Kui turned to Lei Feixiang and said: "You and Liu Tong go first, I will lead the army and come later."
"As you command!"
Lei Feixiang patted Liu Tong on the shoulder and said: "Let's go, brother, you go as fast as you can, we will try to arrive in fifteen minutes."
In Nanqiu County City, the hall of the County Sheriff's Mansion is brightly lit.
"Immediate report from Junbei Camp is that the 77th Division is stranded in the west of the camp and refuses to leave. Commander Tang Corps followed your instructions and did not leave the camp to drive them away."
"There is an urgent report from Dongxiong City. The enemy's 71st Division suddenly appeared and attacked the city overnight. Deputy Commander Gong requested your Excellency to send troops for support."
"Chunlu City is reporting urgently. It is suspected that a large number of enemy troops are passing by and are marching eastward."
Yudi's temples were bulging, and his brain was swelling and painful. He discovered that Shaodian's army did not follow common sense at all. He knew that he was going to defeat them one by one, but he still divided his troops into several groups, causing smoke to appear everywhere in his defense zone.
"The 77th Division must be really covering a certain unit. Which one is it? The 71st Division?" Gong Yelei stood beside the sand table, holding several small flags representing the Shaodian Army in his hands.
"Which enemy army is heading east from Chunlu City? What is their purpose? To rescue Ding Kui? By the way! Where did Ding Kui go?" Yu Di suddenly remembered this man.
Boom!
The door of the barracks was kicked open.
Two torches were thrown in,
then,
Whoosh, whoop, whoosh, strong winds fired, and the navy of our country was horrified to find that the crossbow arrows had flown in front of them.
Ding Kui led his three thousand main force to a hill, and saw Dou Xiao riding on the mountainside shaking a torch.
"Where is Liu Tong?" Ding Kui galloped up the mountainside.
"Sir, Captain Liu insisted on leading the way into the water village because he was more familiar with the situation inside, and Captain Lei did not stop him."
"Hurry up and chase after him, and you must protect Liu Tong!"
