Chapter 1345 The twists and turns of the water-cut fortress
"Yang Chao wants to borrow your sword to kill the noble families in Hailin Prefecture. Do you know why he doesn't do it himself?"
"Why?"
…
"What are you doing! Why are you surrendering?"
Some people have great resentment towards He Tai's decision.
Ding Cai turned around to follow the sound, and saw Ding Fen jumping up and down, slamming the bow and arrow on the ground.
Hua Mulan emerged from the crowd and ran to Ding Fen to comfort her: "Don't worry, don't worry, haven't you completed the task yet?"
"No way! I've worked very hard, and I've only completed less than half of it at most." Ding Fen had the task of killing a hundred people and was so anxious that tears were about to flow out.
During the battle just now, she tried her best to empty a bag of hundreds of quivers, but not every arrow could kill one person. At most, 50% of them hit the vital point. Some of them hit the same person with several arrows. It was really true.
The number killed is estimated to be about one-third.
In the past, when I went to the battlefield with Ding Kui, I rarely shot at the enemy's vital points. Today, I was more serious about shooting at the eyes, throat, ears and other parts that can cause death.
Lu Ying came over and asked, "What's wrong with little sister Xiaohua? Why don't I give you my battle achievements?"
"Haha, do you have any military exploits?" Ruan Xingzhu also came over, "Don't worry, little flower, I'll give you my military exploits." After listening to Lu Ying's words, she thought that Ding Fen didn't think his military exploits were enough.
"Aiya, who bullied my little girl?" Ding Cai hurriedly squeezed over.
The other team members didn't know what was going on, but that didn't stop them from coming around.
"No, no, that's it." Hua Mulan explained to everyone.
The sect's mission is not a secret, it's just that some people are willing to tell it and some people are not willing to tell it.
"That's it, don't worry, haven't the Fortress of Cutting Water not been defeated yet? There may be another battle later. How about we help Ding Fen complete the mission together?" Fan Yuzhen came up with an idea.
"Okay!" Everyone agreed.
"I told you earlier, the Intelligence Department has a mission to assassinate secret spies. If you come and help us with the mission, there will be rewards." Shaodianmi also wanted to help Ding Fen.
"Forget it, what kind of hero is he who kills people secretly? There are many heinous prisoners in the prisons of the public security bureaus in each city. Later I will send people to Nanqiu County and invite Miss Ding to carry out the execution." Shao Dianfei
I somewhat despise Shaodianmi.
"This is Miss Ding's sect mission. It is used to hone her mind. We can't do it like you do. Let Mrs. Cui lead her to kill the enemy. We will support you so that we can train her." Ruan Jizong's suggestion was more reliable.
Spectrum.
"I agree."
"I agree."
…
Ding Fen calmed down. Although he was a little reluctant to give up Shaodianmi's suggestion, he finally listened to Ruan Jizong.
"My Lord Hu has ordered that we all clean up the battlefield together, and not let any enemy escape. We will escort all the prisoners to Duanshui Fortress in a moment."
Hu Rui did not expect that Hetai would surrender. The original plan had to be changed. Maybe Hetai could be used to persuade the defenders in the fortress to surrender. However, his own army could not let go. These prisoners might be useful later.
He Tai led the people to surrender in an organized manner, and the main battlefield basically did not need to be cleaned. Cleaning the places where the fighting was fierce was more troublesome.
Ding Fen cleans the battlefield mainly to recover useful arrows, and at the same time checks his own results.
"Huh? He's not dead. Does anyone have any medicine? Help him get it." She found an injured soldier with her arrow stuck in his eye.
Hua Mulan brought over a piece of wound medicine, and Ding Fen carefully pulled out the arrow and applied it to the injured soldier.
"Don't you want a mission? Kill him with one sword." Ding Cai walked over with his sword in hand. Bang, he was slapped on the back of the head, "Don't teach Ding Fen a bad way." Fan Yuzhen glared angrily.
Ding Fen said very seriously: "Master said that after the battle is over, we cannot kill people at will. We are not butchers."
The wounded soldier struggled to get up and asked: "Thank you very much for saving my life, Miss! Who is the master you are talking about?"
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief of our Military Command, Ding Kui, Mr. Ding."
"Ah! The blood-slaughtered demon king Ding Kui!" The wounded soldier was frightened. Ding Kui was the great demon king in the hearts of his countrymen.
"Tch! That's the world's misunderstanding of the master." Ding Fen was so angry that he left the wounded soldier alone.
"If you say anything bad about me again, I will chop you with my sword!" Ding Cai raised his sword to threaten, but Fan Yuzhen ignored him this time.
The wounded soldier trembled and collapsed to the ground, too frightened to speak.
"Let's go!" Lu Ying pushed Ding Cai, "Don't bring trouble to senior brother."
"..."
Heavy armored infantry came to take away the wounded.
"The fight is about to begin!"
"Where? Where?" Ding Fen rushed to the side of the shouter immediately. The scout was startled and replied: "The first special operations battalion was chasing the deserters and ran into the enemy's rear guard."
"Great, I'll go over and help."
Ding Fen was about to run to the front, but was stopped by the scout: "Don't! They will have finished fighting by the time you get over. When I came back, the enemy army was already a little overwhelmed, and now they are probably running back to the fortress."
Ruan Xingzhu came over and said, "Come on, I'll take you to have a look." After saying that, he cast a white light and gave Ding Fen the acceleration spell.
As the battlefield cleaning came to an end, Hu Rui specially called Ding Cai and asked: "Captain Ding, what's the next fight?"
"Uh, let's storm the Duanshui Fortress." Ding Cai glanced at Pi Sanying and said, "If you hit it with a forbidden curse, you will definitely win it."
"Ahem, cough, cough, this is indeed an option. I want to ask you if there is a better way?" Hu Rui coughed to cover up his embarrassment.
"Didn't you say that we captured the general of our army? Let him go to the fortress to persuade him to surrender." Ding Cai racked his brains before he came up with another way.
"You don't have to say it." Rong Yan was disappointed.
"Hey, this is indeed another option." Hu Rui saw that Ding Cai did not bring any bigger surprises, so he ordered, "Escort the prisoners to Duanshui Fortress, and Rong Yan talks to He Tai to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds.
"
After the short meeting, Ding Cai secretly asked Fan Yuzhen: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"No, it's just too common, anyone can imagine it." Fan Yuzhen told the truth.
"Then what else do you want? That's all I have."
"I know, but," Fan Yuzhen shrugged, "they don't know."
"Can't you save some face for me?"
"You successfully lured the enemy and helped our army achieve a great victory. You are the most honorable person today. Now people don't look down on me as the division commander."
"As for that? I'm not your subordinate yet."
"It's just a joke, it's really boring." Fan Yuzhen actually knows how to joke.
"..." Ding Cai was shocked!
After the remnants of the Ninth Brigade of the 5th Central and North Division were rescued by the Second Brigade, they originally planned to turn back to rescue the larger force, but they ran into the First Special Operations Battalion head-on.
The 1st Special Operations Battalion still used the tactics of pushing crossbows horizontally. When they got within 50 meters, one row and two rows would advance in turns, beating their own troops back again and again.
How could a troop without heavy shields withstand the powerful crossbow fire within fifty meters? The first two rounds of crossbow arrows even penetrated several soldiers.
Pushing flatly on a wide road is one of the most mature tactics of crossbowmen. Except for heavy defensive equipment, it is almost irresistible.
Our own army persisted in firing more than ten rounds from the 1st Special Operations Battalion, and after suffering nearly half of the casualties, they finally could no longer withstand it, and the captain of the 2nd Battalion had to order a retreat.
"Are you chasing?" Dou Xiaoqi asked Lei Feixiang, "If you don't chase, there are preparations in the fortress. It's hard for us to attack. We'll wait for our captain to come up and deal with it." Lei Feixiang looked back and was suddenly stunned.
Talking about Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Ruan Xingzhu came running with Ding Fen. She flew, Ding Fen rode, they were the only ones on the official road.
"Where are the enemies?" Ding Fen stretched his neck and looked around as soon as he arrived.
Lei Feixiang patted his chest and said, "I was beaten away by your brothers."
Unexpectedly, Ding Fen looked disappointed, and Ruan Xingzhu whispered a few words in Lei Feixiang's ear, "Ah? There is such a thing. It's hard to chase now. We have to wait for the large troops to come up." Lei Feixiang understood.
He suggested: "Ding Fen should follow the first battalion. I can take you with me when I attack enemy levels in the future. Your archery skills are much more accurate than the crossbow, which can improve the concealment of the first battalion."
Ding Fen turned to look at Ruan Xingzhu, "Okay, you follow them." Ruan Xingzhu nodded in agreement.
The large army soon caught up, with more than 2,000 people escorting more than 3,000 prisoners, marching toward the Duanshui Fortress in a mighty manner.
Arriving at the front of the fortress, Rong Yan escorted He Tai to the foot of the city to persuade him to surrender.
Unexpectedly, the troops on the fortress did not give He Tai any face, and before he could finish his words, they fired a hail of arrows, apparently intending to kill him.
It turned out that the first captain actually laughed out loud when he learned that He Tai was captured, because he could naturally take over the command of the division, but he would not listen to He Tai's advice at this time.
Rong Yan protected He Tai and fled back to the main formation in embarrassment. Hu Rui was furious when he saw this, so he ordered: "Send a signal to Master Pi."
Whoosh whoosh, three rockets took off.
Pi Sanying and a group of magicians were waiting in the sky. When they saw the signal, they said, "How about I cast another forbidden spell?"
Ruan Xingzhu persuaded: "It's not necessary, we can just cover the city with magic."
But before she could finish her words, she heard a loud "ping" sound, and the fortress door flew out and broke into several pieces in the air.
Hu Rui reacted very quickly and shouted: "Charge! Rush into the fortress immediately!"
"Kill!" Lei Feixiang and Fan Yuzhen rushed forward at the same time, waving their weapons and rushing towards the fortress gate. The other officers and soldiers reacted and rushed out, but they were already more than ten steps behind them.
"Eh? Isn't that Uncle Yu?" Lei Feixiang first saw the figure in the doorway clearly.
"That's right! It's Ding Yu. Is Mr. Ding here too?" Fan Yuzhen also saw it clearly.
A powerful spiritual power swept down from the sky, Ruan Xingzhu's eyes were fixed on Ao Yu, looking for Ding Kui's trace.
It was Ao Yu who broke down the fortress gate, but Ding Kui didn't come.
Ding Kui made an appointment with Jing Xuan to negotiate alone. Ao Yu did not need to accompany him, so he took the first step to find the fleeing troops.
When he came near the Duanshui Fortress, he felt Pi Sanying cast a forbidden spell. He originally wanted to take a look at the scene, but he found the fortress halfway and decided to sneak into the fortress after seeing the defenders' flag clearly.
Now Ao Yu has certain tactical analysis skills. First of all, he confirmed that there is no forbidden magician in his army, and the person who casts the forbidden spell is probably the person he is looking for. Secondly, if there is a big movement in the west of the city, then this fortress should belong to his own people.
The only way to go; he is no longer needed in the last place where the forbidden curse is placed, so just sneak into the fortress and carry out a surprise attack.
"Why is this happening again?" Ding Fen almost collapsed.
