Gong Yelei stood in front of the city gate to welcome the army into the city.
When he arrived here early this morning, the city gate was closed, there was no one on the city tower, and there was no flag of the Shaodian Army. He first sent a small team of cavalry to climb the city wall to confirm that there were really no enemies, but the city gate was blocked by many debris.
died.
Fortunately, the people in the city were still there. When they heard the greeting from their troops, they immediately ran out to help clean up the debris, and they were able to open the city gate before the army arrived.
When Dai Gu came to Gong Yelei, he reined in his horse and asked, "Are you satisfied with recovering this city without spending a single soldier?"
"My subordinates are very satisfied."
"That's right. The mission of our army is to expel foreign enemies and regain the country. While completing the mission, I have to take into account the safety of the soldiers. Do you understand?" Dai Ku asked again.
"My subordinate understands."
Dai Ku didn't ask any questions this time. He nodded, tucked his horse's belly between his heels, and took the lead into the city gate.
Shaodian's army withdrew, and Yudi only entered Matu City later than Dai Ku. After all, he did not have a chief of staff like Gong Yelei around him. He saw through Ding Kui's intention to retreat in advance, and only discovered that the enemy was missing when the scouts cautiously approached.
.
This gave Dai Gu a lot of peace of mind. He had two cities as strongholds and enough level six warriors to fight against the enemy's masters. He could consider dividing his troops to harass the enemy's rear.
Yu Di took the initiative to propose a sweep to the south of the county town, but Dai Ku sternly refused.
"Fuck! You actually asked me to attack north! To the north of me is Tongze City. Doesn't he know what happened to the First Army of the North?" Yudi threw the document to the ground in front of Haotong.
Bang, I kicked the stool next to the stove over. If I hadn't changed the direction in time, it would have been the stove.
"He is the coach, you have to respect his orders." Haotong pretended to persuade.
In fact, he was unwilling to get involved in the dispute between Yudi and Daigu. No matter who was the coach, it would not affect his position as war commander.
After Haotong left, Yudi stared at the overturned chair and smiled sinisterly: "You want to fight Ding Kui in a sports battle? The south of the county is indeed empty, but the situation is the same for both the enemy and us.
Ding Kui has a troop that is particularly good at camouflage. Their movements are erratic and they come and go erratically. They will get behind you at any time, hit you hard and then run away.
Don’t forget the cavalry division of the Eighth Army. South of the county town is where Ding Kui is good at using troops! Hey, let me attack the north. What should I be afraid of if I have Xiang Ban at my back?"
If he was really angry, the chair would have fallen apart long ago. How could it have fallen to the ground intact?
There were intrigues within the own army, but Shaodian's army was united as never before. Although the mixed army came from the three major armies, a tacit understanding gradually developed among the divisions. At least there was no problem with the cooperation of infantry, cavalry, and infantry and crossbows.
Ding Kui led his troops back to defend the county city. The 5th Division, which had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, was responsible for the defense of the county city. The 4th Division and the 8th Division continued to garrison Tongze City. The 10th Division, with the cooperation of auxiliary troops, divided its troops to guard the north of the county city.
Zhucheng, other troops were vacated.
The happiest people are Dong Ba, Zhong Wei, Han Ruren and others, who can finally use all their strength to fight against their country's regular army.
In the previous fierce battles, only the 5th Division was trying its best, and the other troops could exert at most 60% of their combat effectiveness.
Some people say that Han Ruren led the death squads to perform exceptionally well. Yes, that is only a matter of 600 people. The 3rd Division has 10,000 people. If they are all extraordinary, it is terrible.
On the upper floor of the south city of the county city, Fan Yuzhen complained to Ding Kui: "Why do you leave your subordinates here and let them go out happily?" She pointed at the team leaving the city gate below.
"There is a saying, 'Don't worry about the few and the uneven', which means don't worry about the amount of military merit, only worry about the uneven distribution of the military merit. I can't always leave good things to you."
Ding Kui was doing ideological work seriously with his subordinates.
"Without the persistence of the 1st Division, 3rd Division, 4th Division, 6th Division and 8th Division, would you be able to defeat the enemy in Tongze City and Matu City?
It's obviously not possible. They can silently contribute to the brothers' troops. Can't you do the same? Or do you have to ask for special treatment? "
Bang, Fan Yuzhen knelt down on one knee and said: "I know my mistake! From now on, I will resolutely complete the task of cooperating with my brother troops."
Ding Kui helped her up with both hands: "That's right! Your awareness has been raised to a relatively high level in our army. You must continue to work hard."
"Yes!" Fan Yuzhen was inexplicably excited.
"Think about the 4th Division and the 8th Division. They are such proud troops. In order to let the 2nd Division enter the battlefield, they did not hesitate to fake defeat and retreat. People who don't know the truth really think that they were defeated by their own army." Ding Kui helped Shu by the way.
Li and Qiao Meng restore their image.
These words happened to be heard clearly by Ding Cai who was behind him, and he couldn't help but mutter: "Why don't you just fake defeat? Who can't do that?"
Ding Kui suddenly turned his head. Ding Cai trembled in fright and quickly waved his hands and said, "I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything!"
"Did I ask you to speak?" Ding Kui asked thoughtfully.
"My servant is wrong! My servant is guilty! Please punish me!" Ding Cai didn't dare to play tricks, seeing that there was something wrong with Ding Kui's expression.
Ding Kui stared at Ding Cai fiercely and said nothing. Ding Cai and the people next to him did not dare to breathe, and even Fan Yuzhen tiptoed back.
After a while, Ding Kui suddenly grinned, showing his white front teeth, and said with a smile: "Haha, you reminded me when you said that!"
Ding Caipai smiled and said: "It is my honor to be able to help you."
Everyone around them showed disdain, and Fan Yuzhen's face darkened.
Ding Kui reached out and patted Ding Cai's shoulder and said: "I just need someone to fake defeat to lure the enemy. Since you volunteered, then this task will be handed over to you, um, no, to your 5th Division."
"I, I, have no slaves." Ding Cai stuttered in fright.
The conscience of heaven and earth, he only said that no one knows how to cheat, but he did not say that he would take over the task of cheating.
The people nearby began to gloat about the misfortune, but when they heard that it was about the 5th Division, their expressions immediately turned pale.
Fan Yuzhen's face became even darker, and her eyes almost had sparks popping out of her eyes. It was one thing to understand others, but it was another thing to do it on her own. It was more painful for her to lose the battle than to die.
"I've decided so happily! I'll go back and discuss it with Chief of Staff Kong." Ding Kui walked down the tower with brisk steps.
Not long after, a roar came from the tower: "Ding Cai! Don't run away!"
The soldiers nearby prayed for Captain Ding: Captain Ding, I wish you good luck.
One day later, the 5th Division assembled its troops and left the county.
Ding Cai, with a bruised nose and swollen face, walked at the front of the team, and the Eighth Battalion lined up behind them dejectedly. They wanted to rush to "Huangtugou" to stop the enemy in the name of fame.
Huangtugou is more than a hundred miles south of the county city and belongs to the boundary of Hancui City. Because there is a deep ditch next to the road and the bottom of the deep ditch is loess, it is called this.
This is the main road to the south of Hancui City. If you want to cross Hancui City and go to Huangyu City, you must pass through here.
Despite the poor morale of the 5th Division, the march was still very fast, covering more than 100 miles in one morning.
"Come over for a meeting from the captain and above!" Fan Yuzhen shouted while the troops were resting.
The captains came over in twos and threes, and only Ding Cai was alone. No one wanted to approach Ding Cai at this time.
"Come, let Captain Ding teach you his experience." Fan Yuzhen said nothing and sat aside.
Ding Cai stood up and looked at everyone blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Brother Cai, don't hide it, tell everyone." Xiao Yanding couldn't help but provoke, he was very relieved to see this scene.
"You!" Ding Cai glared angrily.
Fan Yuzhen next to her shouted impatiently: "You have something to say!"
Xiao Yanding turned his head and looked away, while Ding Cai withdrew his gaze angrily, "Ahem, actually the key to this false defeat is 'cheating'. It's not really a defeat, the purpose is to win later." He organized and said in his mind.
Ji Zhubao said: "Brother, no matter how deceitful you are, it's not us who will kill the enemy."
The other teams nodded and agreed with Ji Zhubao's statement.
Ding Cai argued: "No! We can return to the battlefield."
Fan Yuzhen said coldly: "Don't make everyone disobey military orders."
"Our mission is to lure the enemy into an ambush. What happens next?" Ding Cai pointed at Fan Yuzhen.
"No more." Fan Yuzhen said expressionlessly.
"If there is no, then there is! Think about it, there is no mission later, which means we are free, at least it does not clearly say what we can't do!" Ding Cai's words began to flow smoothly, "We can't find a place to lie down."
"It takes time for us to form a team and recover our physical strength and morale before escaping all the way. Moreover, we have to throw away all the equipment on the way. By then we will be bare-handed." Fan Yuzhen asked a question.
"Won't we find weapons if we don't have them? Won't we hide weapons in advance? We know the time and place, so we can prepare in advance."
Fan Yuzhen was moved by Ding Cai's words and showed a thoughtful expression.
Ding Cai continued: "No matter how tired we are, we still have one more breath than the enemy, and our morale is even better. The enemy is deeply surrounded and has no morale at all. Are there any problems next?"
"The problem is that the friendly forces are sharper than our swords." Sun Yilei said very seriously, without any intention of making trouble. It was more like discussing the problem with Ding Cai.
"That makes sense!" Ding Cai pointed out his thumb, "Friends are human beings, and their hearts are made of flesh. We ask for an 'open door', will we give you some face?"
Yuchi Xiaosi said to himself: "Who has the nerve to say this?"
Well, everyone else's eyes were focused on Ding Cai, including Fan Yuzhen.
"Okay, I'll beg." Ding Cai knew that he had to fill this hole himself.
It is said that Hancui City is still controlled by the Shaodian Army. The 1st Division is assigned to this place. Its task is to block all the east-west roads from Hancui City to the county town, while leaving the south side alone.
After Dai Gu established a foothold in Kuaihe City, he began to send troops to tentatively attack the area south of the county city. The first target was Hancui City.
Our army first dispatched one division and advanced to Hancui City before encountering resistance. The flag of the mixed 1st Division was not unfamiliar.
The division symbolically attacked the city for half of the day, but failed to gain any advantage, so they had to retreat ten miles to camp and send people to Daigu for help.
