Han Rubian held a long sword flat, and happily took out a piece of beef, saying: "You two are still considerate of the commander. You know that I give the meat to my subordinates for extra meals, so you came here specially to give me some."
Braised beef is the best food to eat during the march. Some mean generals even let their subordinates eat cowhide, and the money saved was put into their own pockets.
"Sir, this, that cow, oh, please accept your humble position." Dai Le was much more diplomatic than before. Seeing that he couldn't get the beef back, he simply accepted Han Ruren's statement.
"Hahaha, my subordinates admire me for eating beef and performing swordsmanship!" Long Shuang felt more balanced. "Eh? You just said that Master Zhong is waiting for us in Guihe City. What's the basis for that?"
Han Ruren glanced at Long Shuang and said: "Hmph, if it were your father, I would definitely not ask. The news about the special battle group must be sent to the headquarters first. Master Zhong will definitely stop them when he learns that the Nandi Corps is heading south.
the way to go.
It just so happens that the terrain of Guihe City is suitable for attacking from the south and defending from the north. It must be in our hands one step ahead of the enemy. How can Commander Zhong let it go? If I guessed correctly, Guihe City is now in the hands of our army."
Bang, Long Shuang received a slap on the shoulder, "Don't worry about the equipment of the Red Army that protects the country, and read more about the military manual." Dai Le took the opportunity to wipe off the oil on his hands.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I have to discuss some personal matters with Captain Dai." Long Shuang grabbed Dai Le's arm.
"Go, go, don't delay your departure."
"No, sir, my subordinates have reported military information, ah!" Dai Le was dragged away forcefully.
Han Ruren guessed correctly. The south gate of Guihe City was breached by the 196th Division. Zhong Wei led the rest of the troops to build a military camp outside the north gate and occupy the open space in the northern suburbs.
The terrain of Guihe City is wide in the south and narrow in the north. The road from the north passes through swamps and mountain forests, which is not conducive to stationing large-scale troops.
If the local army wanted to attack Guihe City, they would have to find a way to go around to the southern suburbs, but doing so would easily lead to their food routes being cut off.
Kong Ren was inspecting the defenses in the military camp, pointing at a group of craftsmen and saying, "Aren't those people from the Juyang City Construction Bureau?"
"Haha, Chief of Staff has a sharp eye, that's right!" Zhong Wei smiled, "This time I ordered people to transport cement and brought a team of construction workers from Juyang City with me. They can even build bridges across the river and build defenses.
There is absolutely no problem with the fortifications.”
"Hahaha, you didn't say they had a problem, but you were too ruthless and used cement to build fortifications." Kong Ren knew what happened in Juyang City very well.
"There is no other way. The troops this time are limited. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your weapons. This can reduce the casualties of the troops. I can be more ruthless."
Zhong Wei applied to Ding Kui before he went on the expedition, and Ding Kui naturally agreed, but repeatedly told him to protect the craftsmen.
The military camp does not need concrete walls, only the crossbow and ballista positions need concrete bunkers. Zhong Wei plans to use long-range firepower to suppress the enemy.
The next morning, Zhong Wei was pleasantly surprised to find another friendly force, the 111th Division.
"Why did you come so fast?" He went out of the city to greet them personally.
"Commander Zhong, I expected you to capture Guihe City quickly, so I ordered the troops to come here overnight, hoping not to delay your plan." Han Ruren followed Zhong Wei humbly.
"No delay, you have been a great help! I have one more mobile division, which gives me more room for maneuver when facing the enemy. Let's go to the staff headquarters and take a closer look."
Kong Ren was also very surprised by the arrival of the 111th Division, "Okay, now we only need to keep two regiments in the camp in the north of the city, and the rest of the troops can be transferred elsewhere." He immediately pulled out a few small flags in the sand table.
"Master Kong, the 111th Division can also be transferred elsewhere, and it does not necessarily have to take over the city defense." Han Ruren took the opportunity to recommend himself.
"Haha, I understand what you mean. General Han, even if I want to use the 111th Division, I have to go through the Military Command Department. The one who gives you orders is the Military Command Department."
Kong Ren saved his face and brought out Ding Kui to reject Han Ruren's request. As the chief of staff, he could give him a straight face.
"Then, I humbly ask Lord Ding for orders, and the 111th Division will be changed into a mobile force in the Shibu County War Zone." Han Ruren hopes to go to the battlefield and does not want to stay in the city as a city defense force.
"I'm afraid this won't be easy. Don't worry, Guihe City is a place where the enemy must pass through. Don't worry if they don't come." Kong Ren persuaded Han Ruren to leave the headquarters.
Returning to the military camp, Han Ruren ordered Long Shuangdai to take over the city defense himself.
"Who made you angry?" Long Shuang waited carefully.
"Chief of Staff Kong lied to me, saying that the enemy would definitely attack the city." Han Ruren looked glum.
"Impossible!" Dai Le understood the general meaning. "The enemy must pass through this place if they want to save the county. How could they not attack the city?" He agreed with Kong Ren's statement.
"You don't know how happy Commander Zhong and Chief of Staff Kong are to see me." Han RuRen became more and more like a piece of ice, and you would feel cold standing next to her.
"That's good." Long Shuang didn't understand.
Dai Le blinked and said nothing.
"Hmph, don't think that I don't know what they are thinking. Now that Guihe City is guarded by us, the 1st Division of the Protecting Red Army and the 195th and 196th Divisions can be freed up. We must cooperate with the erratic special operations group to carry out ambushes.
Think about it, the enemy is ambushed on the back, how can they dare to go south to attack here?" Han Ruren pointed at the map and said, "Here, here, and then to Guihe City, there are loopholes everywhere, it is not for nothing to give us a sneak attack.
Any chance?"
"It's true!" Dai Le said, "I'll go to the north gate and wait."
"Don't go, they won't let us play!" Han Ruren angrily said, "Go and find out who knows about the troops staying at Beida Camp."
The troops left behind were no secret. Dai Le soon found out, "They are the 3rd and 4th Qiannu Regiments."
"Third Regiment, Fourth Regiment, needless to say, the commanding officer of Beida Camp must be Niu Erbing." Han Ruren could not recognize all the Red Army members protecting the country, but he could still recognize the few regimental commanders.
"Yes, it's him." Dai Le also found out.
Niu Erbing is an old man in Ding Kui's private army. He has been able to lead troops from the dock of Juyang City to resist the invasion of his country for two years now. He is considered a relatively senior member of the senior crossbowmen.
He is older than the commander of the Fourth Regiment, so it is a matter of course that he takes over the command of the Peking Camp.
As night fell, he received an invitation, an invitation he couldn't refuse.
"General Han, aren't you embarrassing me? The headquarters is still in the city. You can just invite me to dinner. Why are you serving wine?" He sneaked back to the city to answer Han Ruren's invitation.
"Hey, stop pretending to me. Those remaining staff officers in the headquarters are just unpopular staff officers. How dare they take care of you?" The host of the treat did not even have a smile on his face.
"Sister, please don't embarrass me! How dare I, a small regiment leader, talk about the headquarters." Niu Erbing was determined not to reveal anything.
"I didn't let you discuss it, drink!" Han Ruren picked up the cup and toasted.
Niu Erbing felt that the food and wine were not delicious, so he had no choice but to pick up the wine glass and said, "Just one glass. I'm so drunk that I really can't drink it."
"Look at how cowardly you are, don't think I don't know. I've asked about your drinking capacity." Long Shuang was already waiting with a cup in hand.
Niu Erbing clinked glasses with Han Ruren and drank it down in one gulp. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "What are you trying to do? I'm a coward. Please let me go." He knew that Han Ruren was Ding Kui's confidant.
Shuang is Ding Kui's relative, and at least he won't be on the wrong side if he hangs out with them, so he dares to accept the invitation.
"Are you willing to hang around here?" Han Ruren poured himself a drink.
"Sister, I'm here!" Niu Erbing grabbed the wine bottle and poured the wine very diligently, completely changing the title.
Han Ruren didn't pay attention to these details and continued: "You can give in. Are the three regiments of Qiangnu giving in? There are countless military achievements in front of you. If you don't fight for them, they will all be given to others. How can you compete with the third regiment?
Talk to the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment?"
After hearing this, Niu Erbing unconsciously picked up the cup and asked: "The question is how should I fight for it? The military order given to me below is to defend the Beida Camp. Is it possible to persuade the enemy to come here?"
Bang, Long Shuang's cup came over and he said, "Yes! You were right."
Niu Erbing was stunned.
Han Ruren picked up the wine glass again and said very seriously: "I have a plan to lure the enemy army to attack Guihe City. It depends on whether you dare to cooperate."
"Sister, please tell me, little brother, please study." Niu Erbing didn't dare to cooperate.
After all, he is the commander of Peking University Camp, and it cannot be persuaded by a few words and a few glasses of wine.
"That's it..." Han Ruren put down his wine glass and explained his plan in detail.
Gudong, Niu Erbing drank a full glass, wiped his mouth, and said: "Sister, what a trick! But why don't you find Mr. Zhong or Mr. Kong? Will it violate military orders if we do this in private?"
"Looking for them? To put it bluntly, if those two adults would take care of us, they wouldn't leave us here. What if I tell them and end up taking advantage of others, wouldn't my efforts be in vain?
"The whole army knows that I am Master Ding's confidant," Han Ruren simply spread his arms and said, "How could I do something that violates military orders? We didn't leave our posts. If the enemy attacked us, we had to fight back. We violated it."
What kind of military order?"
"It's okay that the superiors didn't let us lure the enemy to attack." Niu Erbing was a little hesitant.
"Did your superiors teach you how to fight?" Long Shuangsha smiled and said, "Let me ask you, will our defeat of the enemy's army affect the layout of our superiors?"
Niu Erbing really thought about it and said: "According to sister's plan, of course it will not affect the layout above. Even if it does, it will be a good thing."
Bang, Dai Le, who had been silent until now, suddenly slapped the table, "My elder sister is older than my younger sister. My master has given you a great achievement, but you are timid. I don't have a younger brother like you!"
Niu Erbing was stunned again.
"Stop pretending to be dumbfounded, do you want to do it? Give me a happy word!" Dai Le picked up a jar of wine and put it on the table.
Niu Erbing gritted his teeth: "It's rare for my sister to recognize me as a younger brother, so what! I can't embarrass my sister no matter what."
"..."
Long Shuang leaned against the window, watching Niu Erbing's leaving figure, and said: "This naughty boy, he got an advantage and acted like a good boy, and he actually accepted the adult as his sister."
