The mixed 5th division conquered two cities in one day. Fan Yuzhen was the first one to jump onto the city wall each time, sweeping a bloody path with the long ax in his hand. The soldiers who climbed up the city wall followed the division commander without any pressure.
Stealing heads.
Possibly to demonstrate to Ding Cai how to quickly attack the city, Fan Yuzhen was extremely ferocious, and both battles ended quickly. By the time the enemy magician took off, the city wall had been occupied, the city gates were wide open, and Sun Yilei's heavy cavalry brigade had already arrived.
Take to the streets.
The Eighth Brigade was still mopping up, and Ding Cai was let go. He specifically led people to raid the big houses in the city to prevent our countrymen from hiding and transferring their property. If they found good things that they could carry, they took them away. If they couldn't, they left them with the supporting troops.
"What? The 5th Division has arrived in front of us!" Shu Li was a little surprised, "It's really hard to deal with a woman who is aggressive. She runs so fast and the civilians can't keep up."
He set up an awning with his hands and looked toward the southwest, saying to himself: "The guy who runs the fastest should be joining the young master."
That's right, the 2nd Division, which was inserted directly into the center of Bei County, was there to meet Ding Kui. The first task Dong Ba received was to help capture the county town.
The 1st Division can only detach a special force to attack the county town. The 1,500 people can only attack at fixed points. It is difficult to control the county town with a population of hundreds of thousands. Another rapid force is needed to support it. If there is less, it will be better.
It's not useful. The most suitable one is Dong Ba's cavalry division.
Just when the special forces attacked the County Knights Guild, Dong Ba led his army to the outside of the county city and happened to encounter the 28th Division of the North and Central Division who had escaped from the city. The troops that had just been assembled suffered another fatal blow.
The cavalry chased them until they had no way to escape.
Dong Ba led a small group of soldiers to the south gate. The thick smoke in the sky was a signpost, telling the friendly troops that there was no need to block here and that the new troops would come to join.
"Special warfare regiment and battalion, battalion commander Dou Xiaoqi is here to see General Dong!" Dou Xiaoqi ran out of the city gate to greet him.
"Okay, you guys, you not only captured the city gate as scheduled, but also drove thousands of enemy troops out of the city. How long have you been here?" Dong Ba looked at the special battle group with admiration.
It is not easy to achieve such a result in a short period of time. He himself has just arrived. Strictly speaking, the performance of the 71st Division is slightly inferior.
"I'm ashamed of my humble position! Master Ding and the others drove out the defeated army outside the city. The main force of the special force had just captured the Knights Guild." Dou Xiaoqi knew that Dong Ba had misunderstood.
"Oh, that's not easy! You have eaten all the edible meat, and we can only drink soup." Upon hearing this, Dong Ba knew that there was no large-scale resistance in the city.
"Where is Mr. Ding?" He could only report to Ding Kui first.
"Master Ding is waiting for you at the governor's mansion. I will take you there."
Dou Xiao mounted a horse and led Dong Ba and others into the city.
The streets near the northern county city were deserted. Only a few special forces were guarding important street intersections. A small group of patrols was not seen until the gate of the county governor's house. Dou Xiaoqi led the way, and no one stopped them for questioning. Dong Ba
Run directly into the county magistrate's house.
"General Dong is here. Did you encounter any enemy troops on the way?" Ding Kui waved his hand, signaling to Dong Ba that he did not need to pay his respects.
"Are you planning to run away?" Dong Ba dusted himself off before walking into the hall.
"Haha, Master Tan scared him away." Ding Kui pointed to Tan Shang who was making tea with his own hands. He could calculate from the time who the 2nd Division would meet outside the city.
"You should have killed the enemy's general, and the enemy was leaderless, which is why there was chaos." Tan Shang thought Mao Wen was dead.
"That's the enemy's blessing. It's rare for the three of you to attack together." Dong Ba certainly knew the deterrent power of the forbidden law, and it was under strong protection.
"We still didn't move fast enough. The magic communication array was destroyed. Fortunately, we prepared a set of materials. The magicians from the 2nd Division first helped Master Tan repair the communication array so that I could command each division."
Before setting off, Ding Kui spent a lot of money to buy a set of communication array materials, which he put in Tan Shang's space ring. He happened to have the most expensive materials, otherwise he would not be able to make ends meet on this expedition.
The communication array of the County Magic Guild can contact any magician in the county and can be sent to unregistered magicians through mass messaging. Each division has one or two magicians leaving magic marks. As long as the communication array is in Ding Kui, it can
Send orders to each division.
However, the magic communication channel of our country is different from that of Shaodian Kingdom. Bei County cannot contact Dongjin County or other places in Shaodian Kingdom.
In the same way, Ji'an County could not contact Nanguo County, but the Central and North Route Army had a messaging point on the border. As an information bridge between the two countries, it was still dark when Jing Xuan received the news that the northern county had fallen.
"Unknown enemy troops have invaded North County! Where did the enemy troops come from? The magician evacuated in a hurry. He must have encountered an enemy that he could not resist." The only news he received was that the south gate was lost.
The magician evacuated too hastily. He had to destroy the communication array first and had no time to deliver the subsequent news.
"The main force of the enemy army has gathered in Nanguo County. If we want to fight, we have to attack Ji'an County. How come we are going to attack Beibei County? Is there any conspiracy here?" Jing Xuan didn't understand for a moment.
Some staff members speculated: "Could it be to lure my army to rescue and then attack halfway?"
"It is possible that the enemy did not use a serious banner to confuse us, making it difficult to judge the enemy's troop deployment, and ultimately made wrong strategic decisions."
Jing Xuan spread out several maps, including those from Nanguo County, Ji'an County, Dongjin County and Beibei County, and compared them carefully, trying to determine the intentions of Shaodian's army.
His troops were in Nanguo County, and the rebels provided logistical supplies. The importance of the Ji'an County base camp was reduced. The Shaodian Army was far from threatening him when it reached Beijun County, so there was no need to rush to react.
"Order the base camp to send 20,000 troops to support Huangyu City, notify the Northern Route Army that has merged with Jiangzhou, and ask Commander-in-Chief Daigu to send troops to rescue Beijun County." After careful consideration, he decided to find helpers to deal with the unknown enemy, and his troops in Shaodian State were temporarily put on hold.
.
The mixed army did not care about the number of troops, and marched forward with great success. The troops were divided into three groups to attack the northern city of Bei County.
The 1st Division went all the way from Matu City to the north, captured Tongze City, contacted the 4th Division crossing the border from Dongjin County in the north, and then turned around and headed south to advance towards the county town.
The 4th Division formed a group. After occupying Lanbao City, it continued southward, captured Anxi City, opened up contact with the 1st Division, and then turned to the west to advance.
The 5th Division formed a group. Fan Yuzhen marched down to Kaji City, Shillong City and Wuma City. He met up with the 3rd Division at the foot of Wuma City, completely opening up the connection between the county and Shaodian Kingdom, and then turned back and pushed towards the northwest.
The 6th, 7th, and 8th Divisions followed the 1, 4th, and 5th Divisions respectively, and the 9th and 10th Divisions covered 50,000 civilians heading to the county town.
The county city had the largest stockpile of supplies. Many people from our country did not know that the county city had fallen, and convoys came one after another to transport supplies. Ding Kui laughed for several days, and ordered the special operations group and the 2nd Division to change into their own army's clothes. There were also people on the city tower.
Fly the banner of your country and accept the filial gifts of your country.
When the civilians arrived, they put on Shaodian military uniforms and flags, opened the city gates wide, and expelled the young men of their country. They could carry a bag but could not pull a cart. Ding Kui did not drive them all to death.
"Report, our country's Northern Route Army sent a messenger with a handwritten letter from the commander-in-chief of Gu to your Excellency."
Kong Ren took the letter from the soldier and was about to hand it to Ding Kui, "Look, it's just asking me why I attacked Bei County. It won't tell me any secrets." Ding Kui waved his hand and just looked at what was sent below.
Military situation.
"Haha, the commander-in-chief of our country's Northern Route Army is writing to you just like a scholar. By the time he receives a reply, you must have vacated half of Beijun County." Kong Ren arrived with his husband.
His strength was in domestic affairs and he had no experience in marching and fighting, so he fell behind in managing the people and did not rush to the front line.
After carefully reading Dai Kui's letter, I found that the content was just as Ding Kui had guessed. He asked Ding Kui why he broke the armistice agreement and sent troops to attack his country, and ordered Ding Kui to withdraw his troops immediately and compensate his country for its losses.
Ding Kui put down the summary of military information and said: "The North and Central Route Army did not respond much. They only increased the troops in Huangyu City to prevent us from taking the back route of Ji'an County. The North Route Army should be mobilized to deal with us. Jing Xuan is very steady.
If we make a false shot, the North Route Army can easily defeat us and recapture Bei County to cover the flanks of Ji'an County; if we are the main attack direction, only the North Route Army can resist it, and the Central and North Route Army can withdraw to Ji'an County and attack from both sides.
Our army."
Fei Ze was supervising the battle in Han Ruren's army, and he only had Kong Ren as a staff officer.
Kong Ren spread out a map of the four counties, which happened to include the four counties of Nanguo, Ji'an, Dongjin and Beibei.
"There are only three cities left to the north of the county that have not been captured. The 2345th Division will capture them all within three days. The 9th Division will go to Matu City to build a defense line, which can ensure the safety of our army's flanks and rear flanks. The problem is that our army will follow
Should the main force go south or southwest?" He knew himself and did not give Ding Kui any advice at this time.
Only those who know their troops can bring out the greatest combat effectiveness of their subordinates. Ding Kui mobilized familiar troops, so he dared to command a mixed army to fight.
"Go south! The 678th Division has been impatient for a long time. I, the 1st Division, are here to assist and relieve their worries." Ding Kui pressed his palms on the six cities south of the county city.
The 6th Division was adapted from Quan Wanyun's 75th Division, the 7th Division was adapted from Luo Tao's 77th Division, and the 8th Division was adapted from Qiao Meng's 80th Division. Their combat effectiveness is by no means weaker than the first two waves of attack echelons.
When Ding Kui started the second wave of attacks, the mixed second army also began to move. Gu Jun led the army to help the first army capture the three northern cities, and then inserted diagonally into Ji'an County, all the way to Xiong'an City, and most likely missed.
The situation of the Northern Route Army's base camp.
Now Jing Xuan couldn't sit still. So many supplies in the base camp couldn't fall into the hands of Shaodian's army in vain, so he led the Central and Northern First Army to leave the southern county and planned to return to his own country.
Unexpectedly, just one day after he left, news came from Nanguo County asking for help, and the vanguard of the Shaodian Army had already reached the city.
Now Jing Xuan faces a dilemma: Baonan Guojuncheng or Xiong'an City?
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the North and Central Route Army want to eat and drink, so a supply base must be guaranteed to be safe.
