Xiang's family killed Shaodianluan's biological father. Who dares to promote Xiang Ji in front of the prison?
Ding Kui felt quite embarrassed. He couldn't ignore his wife's feelings, and he couldn't bury an excellent officer.
"Let's see. I lack a personal commander by my side. Ding Yu is my eldest brother, not my subordinate. You go ask Xiang Ji if he is willing to follow me."
Qiao Meng's eyes lit up and he said anxiously: "Okay, okay, this is a good idea. Give him a choice. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he will be the next Brother Kun."
Ding Kun was recruited as a personal soldier by Ding Dao in the death squads. If Xiang Ji is willing, he can also create a good story.
Becoming Ding Kui's personal soldier means giving up the original family. After Ding Kui gave his name, he became a member of the Ding family. The Xiang family will be a thing of the past and no one will mention it again. However, Xiang Ji's career in the army has also come to an end.
.
The coach's personal commander is not of high rank, but has very heavy powers. No one will look down on Ding Kun when he comes in and out of the commander's palace, let alone the army commanders and division commanders below. He is the person who has spanked the legion commander.
.
If Xiang Ji sticks to the family's bottom line, he will definitely not want to be Ding Kui's personal soldier. The sins that the Xiang family should atone for still have to be redeemed. Ding Kui will not be unhappy with his wife because of a Xiang family member; but if he pays more attention to his own development,
If he is willing to change his family, Ding Kui will give him a chance.
Li Fei heard about this and asked Ding Kui: "If Xiang Ji is willing to give up the Xiang family, he may give up the Ding family in the future. Why do you give such a person a chance?"
Ding Kui explained: "It's not wrong to be selfish. It's acceptable to do it for yourself without affecting others. The Xiang family will not change because of Xiang Ji's existence. His parents and family are no longer here. At this time, give up on the Xiang family."
Didn't affect anyone.
Maybe he will give up on the Ding family in the future. If it is not harmful to the Ding family, I can accept it. Now that I represent the court, I need to be tolerant and should give people like Xiang Ji a chance to contribute to the court."
Qiao Meng conveyed Ding Kui's message to Xiang Ji. Xiang Ji was silent for a long time and then said: "It is the honor of the commander-in-chief to promote the humble position. But the humble position has served under your command for many years and has not done anything. What is the value of the humble position and turned to the commander-in-chief?"
.”
"You have been the first to win this battle and have earned enough honor for the division. If someone from the division comes to serve with the young master, my face will also be bright." Qiao Meng doesn't mind if his subordinates are poached by Ding Kui.
Walk.
With Ding Kui in the Eighth Army, they are a whole, no matter who is in which division.
In addition to the northern battlefield, people also began to rush to the city wall on other battlefields, but were also driven down by the defenders. Among them, the south city wall adopted the "die together" strategy.
Under an indiscriminate attack, only those with level six combat power may be able to escape unscathed, while those with lower combat power have no hope of survival.
There was no way, in Shao Dianxi's eyes, the south was the main direction of the enemy's attack. The enemy could never be allowed to open a gap in Nancheng, so he ordered the commander of Nancheng to defend it at all costs.
Wang Chou lost a suicide squad, and in a fit of anger, he replaced all the trebuchets with fire cans and increased the frequency of ballistae fire. The south city wall was submerged in a sea of flames for the entire second half of the night.
Ding Kui said distressedly: "If it rains, all my kerosene will be wasted."
God was kind to me, it was gloomy all night, but it didn't rain.
"The fighting power of the defenders is obviously not as good as ours. If we continue to press hard, it will be a matter of time before Nanjing City changes hands, unless," Jiang Zhi looked outside the tent, "someone comes to disrupt the situation."
"The tactics of both sides are almost transparent. The battle on the periphery will inevitably start. It depends on when, where and in which way. I have already sent out my move, and it depends on how the enemy responds." Ding Kui was also there.
Wait, wait for the reaction of the Tenth Legion.
The reinforcements led by Gan Yun were very close to the city of Nanjing. According to the Security Bureau's predictions, they might appear behind the siege camp at any time, and the Tenth Army Corps suddenly disappeared, as if they were watching the siege troops in the dark.
On the fourth day of the siege, the sky was covered with dark clouds. It was a cloudy day and it might rain.
Rainy days are not good for cavalry operations, nor are they good for sieges. However, just when everyone thought there would be a brief calm in Nanjing, the Tenth Army Corps appeared, and reinforcements from Shao Dianxi arrived.
Just as Ding Kui expected, the enemy's reinforcements came from the northeast. The navy and local troops cleared the way in front, and the cavalry pressed down on the two wings and in the middle and rear. More than 100,000 troops formed a formation that could not be seen to the side.
"Why not raid the first battalion?" Gan Yun asked Shao Diantai. The commander of the cavalry regiment was not in his own troops, but with him.
"Similarly, with so many soldiers and horses acting together, they will definitely be discovered ten miles away. A surprise attack by a small force is useless. Today we will have a decisive battle with the rebels." Shao Diantai has experience in commanding more than 100,000 people in combat.
It is incomparable to Gan Yun.
Both Beidaying and Dongdaying stopped attacking the city. Qiao Meng and Han Ruren transferred their troops to the rear camp and assumed a posture of defending the camp.
Wolf smoke rose from the south camp, and smoke appeared one after another in the south, rolling all the way to the southeast.
Ding Kui and Jiang Zhi rushed to the East Camp together, accompanied by 5,000 elite soldiers from the South Camp, and 5,000 elite soldiers from the West Camp to support the Beida Camp.
"Good fellow! Send the order, all the magicians in the army will gather at the East Camp." Ding Kui stood on the turret connecting the Northeast Camp.
The enemy's reinforcements are approaching five miles away, and the overwhelming troops and horses pour out of the smoke and dust, giving people an invisible pressure that makes you breathless.
"Blast the drum!" Ding Kui immediately ordered.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, Dong Daying and Bei Daying are beating the war drums.
"One, two, kill! One, two, kill!" the leading officer shouted for team drills.
The soldiers gathered in Dongda Camp and Beida Camp, encouraged by the sound of war drums and shouts, had endless fighting spirit in their chests.
Ding Kui asked: "Where are General Dong and the others?"
Jiang Zhi replied: "We can arrive within an hour."
The infantry can march up to sixty miles in an hour, but the cavalry can come even faster and can arrive in less than half an hour.
"Call Qiao Meng, cold as a blade, hold fast to the camp and do not go out to fight."
Engineers urgently built a command platform behind the turret, and Qiao Meng and Han Ruren sent their most elite troops to defend below the turret.
"Look!" Gan Yun pointed out to Shao Diantai, "That's Ding Kui's handsome flag."
"Hmph, the reaction is quite fast. Send the order and the whole army moves westward."
Shao Diantai did not intend to attack the junction of the two camps.
"Ouch, you want to attack me from the front." Qiao Meng saw it clearly. He set up a general platform in the back camp and could see the enemy troops slowly moving to the front of the Beida camp.
"Yes, attacking the Beida Camp and threatening the East and West Camps is completely in line with my prediction. If the handsome platform is built higher, I won't be able to move." Ding Kui simply stepped on the Dou Qi Dragon and flew high into the sky.
It's good for the commander to fly because he can see the entire battlefield clearly. Anyway, there are enough magicians to convey orders for him.
"Oh Hou!" The reinforcements from the north burst out with loud shouts, and it turned out that Shao Diantai was also flying high into the sky on the Dou Qi Dragon.
Well, Tan Shang flew to Ding Kui's side and said, "Young Master, do you want to take action? I have endured it for a long time and finally I can stretch my muscles."
"He is only one person and can't do anything. How can he defeat us?" Ding Kui pointed to the north, "There are a lot of cavalry in the front, and the cavalry on the two wings are not enough to attack the east and west camps. It seems that he is afraid that I will.
Ambush."
"Don't you have one?" Tan Shang asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, there are not many. Ten thousand cavalry can solve it." Ding Kui told the truth.
"You are not a flying general if you are not a surprise soldier. Your fighting style has been thoroughly understood." Tan Shang guessed.
"It's one thing to know, but it's another thing to be able to deal with it." Ding Kui shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
The local army moved, and there were simple fortifications behind Beida Camp. They were responsible for clearing them and clearing the way for the main attacking troops.
"The entire army from the East Camp will be moved to the Beida Camp." Ding Kui ordered without hesitation.
This order seems dangerous, but in fact it is very safe. First of all, Nanjing City will not send troops to rush out, and even if Hanrujian does come out, he will have enough time to return to defense; secondly, there is a deep ditch behind the East Camp, and the cavalry cannot jump over it, and the infantry cannot jump over it.
Even if Hanrujian came over, he would have time to return to defense.
Qiao Meng did not order an attack on the local troops clearing the fortifications, and the Beida camp was eerily quiet.
Gan Yun looked up at Shao Diantai, but Shao Diantai didn't respond. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Come up to the navy army!" The navy army carried the shield and went up.
Their shields were made of ship planks and were extremely wide, capable of completely covering a person.
"Archers, prepare rockets." Qiao Meng still did not use the most powerful long-range weapon.
Although the wooden shields of the navy are easy to catch fire, they have experience in dealing with rockets. A burning shield will be knocked down immediately, and someone behind it will quickly hit it. As long as it is slapped on the ground a few times, the rocket will go out.
Shao Diantai was also surrounded by many magicians. At this time, one flew down into the cavalry formation.
"It's an eye-opener. It's the first time that the mixed troops are going to use cavalry and infantry coordination." Ding Kui immediately guessed the opponent's intention.
The infantry opens the way in front, and the cavalry accelerates behind. When the cavalry is about to catch up with the infantry, the infantry formation will flash out several channels to allow the cavalry to overtake them. This is cavalry-cavalry coordination.
Cavalry and infantry coordination has extremely high requirements for the cooperation between the two armies. If the infantry formation dodges quickly, the cavalry will be exposed. If it dodges slowly, it is even worse. The cavalry will bump into its own people unless the cavalry can slow down in time.
"They don't have time. If they delay any longer, our reinforcements will arrive. Now it depends on the riding skills of the cavalry. The infantry is unreliable." Tan Shang looked very bored and had nothing else to do except talk.
"Where's the ballista?" Qiao Meng turned around and saw Han Rushian.
"Ready."
"Go to those points." Qiao Meng pointed out the direction to Han Ruren, and Han Ruren walked away quickly.
"Oil tank preparation." His attention returned to the battlefield.
Beidaying just built a few trebuchets.
He felt the vibrations on the ground and shouted: "Eject the oil tank, average front."
The cavalry outside began to charge, and a magician flew down and informed Qiao Meng: "The 91st Division is charging."
"Thank you! You worked hard when you came up." Qiao Meng's eyes seemed to have flames jumping.
Shao Diancang ran at the front of the team, half squatting on the horse, shouting: "Control, control! Accelerate slowly."
