Chapter 1276 New tactics and new countermeasures (1)
People in the secret espionage system generally do not choose to act recklessly. If they know they are defeated, they will immediately find helpers. Unlike soldiers in war, they first think about protecting themselves, and then how to complete the mission.
The members of Ruan Xingzhu's team have gathered together. As Hong Tao expected, there are two hundred city defense troops from Boundary City in the direction of Shiwa City. The local army in Yanling County alone cannot retain the cultural troupe performance team.
The city defense army in the boundary city is not an ordinary local army. In view of the special characteristics of the boundary city, Shaodian Fei sent the most elite troops there. Among the twenty cities in Nanqiu County, their city defense army is the strongest.
How could Ding Kui send a group of incompetent actors into a dangerous place? Safety and security work has already been done, and even if the Yanling County Sheriff turns his back, there will be a way to bring them back.
There was a family near the stage. Yan Lu sent someone to find some onlookers and quickly asked them what happened.
"Someone is causing trouble secretly. There are spies in the Public Security Department, and I'm afraid there are also criminals in the city defense army." Mr. Yan, the arresting officer, could see the problem at a glance.
"Is it related to the people from Nanqiu County?" Sheng Ru was most concerned about this.
"It doesn't seem to matter much now. Some people set up a conflict between us and them, and they probably want to see a lose-lose outcome." Yan Lu felt a little ashamed.
"What!" Sheng Ru stood up, snapping at the table, "Where can the rats be so bold? We must not bypass them today!"
"Well," Yan Lu looked troubled, "the person behind the plan was very careful. Those thugs were hired by others with money. The real perpetrators have committed suicide by taking poison. All clues have been cut off. We don't know for the time being.
Who is plotting against us?"
"Hmph! What's the use of your Public Security Department!" Sheng Ru was so frustrated tonight that he could only vent his anger on Yan Lu, "I want to take away those thugs. I don't believe that I can't find anything useful. Let's go.
!”
He led the team back to the city angrily, leaving the rest of the Public Security Department and Hong Tao alone.
The reason why the city defense troops were dispatched was because they heard that people from Nanqiu County were coming. Now it seems that it was a misunderstanding. Moreover, Sheng Ru got angry several times and was ridiculed by Hong Tao. He almost suffered internal injuries. He didn't want to be here for a long time.
a shame.
"Haha, you let Lao Sheng vent his bad temper." Hong Tao comforted Yan Lu.
"We must find out who instigated it. We almost made a big mistake just now. If we really take action, no matter which party is killed or injured, I won't be able to go back and explain to the governor." Yan Lu hated his back.
People who make trouble.
"I feel that this matter is related to the group who burned the official warehouse. The people in Nanqiu County are so active in helping, I guess they know something. Shao Dianfei is here, why don't you go get some information?" Hong Tao is a man who understands.
The leader of the County Knights Guild is at least a division commander in the army. Even if he doesn't like conspiracies, he still knows. Hong Tao is not good at investigating cases, but he has an overall view of the situation, and his knowledge must be above strict laws.
Yan Lu was convinced when he heard this, so he ran to Shao Dianfei, "Master Shaodian, can you lend me a moment to speak..."
Shao Dianfei couldn't say directly that the enemy was from the Zi family, but he knew as much as he could about the heavenly soldiers, and he could tell everything he knew.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Yan Lu was like a treasure.
The most fearful thing about investigating a case is that there is no clue, and the feeling of having nowhere to start is what demoralizes the detectives the most. It would be much better to have a direction. Now Yan Lu can concentrate on investigating the "Heavenly Soldiers" organization. As for who is behind this organization?
We will find out one day.
"Thank God! The government officials are gone." Qian Yilin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene just now made her very nervous. In order to support the scene, she had to control herself forcefully, and her nerves were tense all the time.
"With us in Qianqian, don't panic. Even if Yanling County officers and soldiers use force, we will ensure that the performance team returns home safely." Ruan Jizong spoke on behalf of the team.
It was a blessing in disguise. Although this conflict was a bit dangerous, it also helped the performance team to a certain extent test the official bottom line of Yanling County. The performance team could perform to their heart's content without affecting the official's face.
"Thanks to Mr. Ding's clever calculations, he knew that the enemy would jump over the wall in a hurry, so he specially arranged for the 13th Lieutenant of the Guards to come to protect him, and the danger was averted tonight. Captain Ruan was also calm in the face of danger, and resolved the crisis without exposing himself. He had no choice but to humble himself and study hard!"
Xia Houchu took the opportunity to come out and sing praises, trying his best to flatter Ding Kui and Ruan Xingzhu. He almost caused heavy losses to the performance team due to his wrong intelligence tonight. If a few people died, he would not be able to return to Nanqiu County.
Fortunately, there were no major problems and the performance team could continue to promote Ding Kui's reputation in Nanqiu County. Ruan Xingzhu's team withstood the test and showed strong execution ability.
Ding Kui learned the news about Yanling County and made up his mind to send the Red Army to protect the country to attack Shibu County, and also mobilized the 196th and 197th Divisions of the 20th Army to cooperate in the battle.
Yi Sheng could not sit still when he saw that the other legions continued to perform meritorious services. He only used his troops to wipe out the southern part of Nanzhao Prefecture in a symbolic way. He did not participate in the plunder of his own country, and he had no part in resisting the attack of Nanjing City. Twenty
The legion has not made any achievements and has drifted to the periphery of Ding Kui Group.
After the beginning of spring, the governance of the prison country was going smoothly, and it was not affected at all by the "disaster star" brought by Shao Dianfeng. The eldest princess's position as a prisoner became more and more orthodox. Yi Sheng's heart began to feel alive. Now that he had taken refuge with Ding Kui,
You must always reflect your own value.
Now that the relationship between Ding Kui and his country has greatly improved, there is no need to station soldiers and horses on the border, and the great swamp is not in the beast tide season yet, so Yi Sheng has enough troops to send abroad.
When he learned that Ding Kui wanted to regain Shibu County, he immediately recommended himself and strongly requested the 20th Army Corps to participate in this military operation, even offering to lead the troops in person.
"My lord wants to test the new equipment of the Red Army that protects the country. The 20th Army Corps has not been trained, so you can't get the main attack mission." Fei Ze secretly reminded Yi Sheng.
Later, Yi Sheng changed his mind and the 196th and 197th Divisions cooperated in the battle.
In mid-February, a large-scale water battle broke out in the middle section of the Xijiang River. The fleet of the Thousand Island Alliance attacked the fleet of the Thirteenth Army crossing the river.
The Xijiang Navy was defeated, Feng De was forced to interrupt the crossing operation, and the Thirteenth Army Corps was stranded on the south bank of the Xijiang River.
At about the same time, the Red Army protecting the country marched into Shibu County under the banner of restoring the rule of the country.
"Report! The first regiment of friendly infantry and the first regiment of crossbowmen have marched to Binlai City." The scout reported to Tang Fu.
The 196th Division was on the left flank of the Red Army protecting the country, covering friendly forces in capturing Binlai City.
"What? We just arrived at the city. I thought they captured Binlai City."
Tang Fu was speaking from his heart. In his opinion, Binlai City would never be able to stop the attack of the Red Army protecting the country. Maybe the defenders would surrender as soon as the army arrived.
Since the Red Army went out to protect the country, the image of being invincible and invincible has gradually become popular among people. The cities of our own country have been captured at the drop of a hat, let alone the cities of our own country that we know the basics of.
"Your Excellency, you have underestimated the local army in Shibu County." The division staff officer was not surprised.
"How do you say this?" Tang Fu wanted to argue.
The staff officer replied: "At this moment and that moment, Shibu County has been under the threat of our troops for some time. If the soldiers and people there are not willing to fight, they will surrender on the day when our army takes the oath to go out for battle. They will not make any plans after arriving at the city. My subordinates
I thought Binlai City was well prepared, so the friendly forces might have some setbacks."
"Tsk, there is some basis for what you said, but strength speaks for itself on the battlefield. How can the local army in Binlai City stop the two groups of friendly troops who have experienced hundreds of battles? Would there be setbacks if it were our army?"
Tang Fu never forgot to compare with the Red Army protecting the country.
"It will be better for our army to attack. It will be the same style of attack. There will be no big variables. However, the friendly forces are different. They are using new tactics. It is difficult to predict what means the enemy will use to deal with it. The variables are here.
"
Tang Fu fell into deep thought. The staff officer's idea was relatively novel and was based on a new army. It was theoretically tenable.
Zhong Wei used his usual fighting method, dividing his troops into several groups to attack the city at the same time. Each group had thousands of soldiers and horses, intending to capture Shibu County with the highest efficiency.
At the foot of Binlai City were the troops of Mo Jun and Shao Dianye. At this time, the two men did encounter a little trouble.
"Why are all the city walls here nailed with planks?" Shao Dianye looked at the "weird" city in front of him.
"There are also bamboo sheds and earthen tiles on the city, which are for your crossbow soldiers." Mo Jun saw the point.
"Is it useful?" Shaodianye curled his lips.
"You'll know after a dozen strikes." It was also the first time for Mo Jun to see this kind of situation.
The four walls of Binlai City are covered with wooden boards, bamboo sheds are erected on the crenellations, and the roofs are covered with earthen tiles. It seems that a lot of time was spent on preparations.
Most of these novel city defense facilities were built for the Red Army to protect the country. It seems that the city owner is an expert and guessed early that the Red Army to protect the country would attack the city.
The infantry regiment did not move, and the crossbow regiment entered the position first and began a probing attack.
After ten rounds of powerful crossbow volleys, most of the bamboo sheds and earth tiles were destroyed, but the defenders suffered few casualties.
Mo Jun put down the telescope and said: "Oh, they have replaced it with a new bamboo shed. It turns out that there are a lot of bamboos here. There must be a large amount of bamboo stored in the city. The defenders used the bamboo sheds to consume our army's crossbow arrows. This
The idea is quite interesting.”
"Hmph! Load up the crossbow." Shao Dianye's face turned blue.
The failure of the crossbow corps in the first battle made him lose face. Since the enemy used bamboo for defense, he replaced the crossbow corps with a fire attack.
Bang, bang, bang, the ten ballistae fired in turn, accurately focusing on the tower.
"Hey, the defenders have even prepared fire-extinguishing tools. It seems that the defenders have figured out our strategy. This city is not easy to attack."
The defenders quickly extinguished the fire from the ballistae, and Mo Jun had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Come forward, infantry. It's a waste of arrows if the defenders don't take the lead." Shao Dianye was a little discouraged. This was the first time he asked for help from the infantry when commanding the crossbowmen.
"Okay, attack with one battalion!" Mo Jun ordered.
A battalion of infantry held their shields high and charged forward, but the defenders still hid behind the city wall and refused to come forward, allowing them to approach the city wall.
"Hmph, if you want to engage in close combat, let the men teach them a lesson." Seeing that the defenders were unable to retreat, Mo Jun judged that the enemy wanted to fight hand-to-hand with the troops ascending the city in order to avoid the crossbows.
However, the battle situation was not what he imagined.
