Duanshui County City, Cao Jun Command Headquarters.
"Change your next action plan." Su Fan ordered the staff. A strong man who looked like a soldier came over and whispered in his ear. After hearing this, he nodded and followed the strong man out of the headquarters.
Liang Chong glanced at it and didn't pay much attention. He was serving Ding Kui, so he didn't have to report to his follower wherever he went.
There was a side room with curtains covering the windows and guards guarding the door. Even if Su Fan arrived, he could only enter after passing a call.
"For your humble duty, please see Mr. Xiahou!" Su Fan knelt down on one knee to the people in the room.
"No need to be polite, I'm not here for business, just sit down."
Su Fan carefully found a place to sit down and asked, "What instructions do you have? Please give me your instructions."
"Recently, your Majesty often asks about the situation on the front line. I can only answer according to the battle report. I don't know what the actual situation is, so I came to take a look. I heard that Shaodian's famous general is here to help in the battle. I am very curious. Where is he now?" The official position of Lord Xiahou is not small.
"Master Ding Kui is well-deserved. For some reason, he expected that the Qi army would arrange for many masters to ambush him, so he personally led his entourage and two hundred elites to the front line, and also assigned a forbidden magician from the Shaodian Kingdom to another front line.
As a result, he actually met four sixth-level warriors from Qi State on the front line of Shenggong City. After two rounds of fierce battles, with the help of Master Xue Fu, he repelled the enemy and captured Shenggong City. Use your strength to help our army capture Tunsha City."
"You are quite capable." Mr. Xiahou smiled, "No wonder He Lianyu objected to sending more masters here and instead sent them elsewhere. It turns out that she has a tacit understanding with Ding Kui. How is your health?"
Su Fan hurriedly stood up, knelt down on one knee again, and said: "I dare not hide my humble position in front of you..." He told the story of how he pretended to be sick but was restrained by Ding Kui.
"Confused! Old Xu warned Xu Dao, you don't know how powerful you are. If someone dares to take over the military power, they must have support. How can they be coerced by you?"
It was I who persuaded the king to meet him before, just to see why this young man was able to occupy Nanzhao Prefecture. He is indeed a worthy man despite his great reputation."
This Lord Xiahou is the number one person in the military of Cao State today, Xiahou Zhuang.
"He is indeed powerful." Su Fan reported Ding Kui's analysis of Zhu Ke to Xia Houzhuang.
"Well, he knows more about Duanshui County than you do, which also explains why he always likes to engage in surprise battles. He does very good pre-war reconnaissance! Although I don't know how he does it, I'm sure he has special skills. ability.
Haha, that's right! It's not in vain. If Ding Kui understands Zhu Ke's shortcomings, they will pose a much smaller threat to Cao State in the future. You should be more careful in battle and beware of the Qi army's counterattack. Qi State will not Give up Duanshui County easily." Xia Houzhuang intuitively felt that it was not easy to fight here.
"The humble reserve team is rushing to Tunsha City, and Xu Dao's reserve team is gathering. They can go to Shenggong City to change defenses at any time when ordered from the front line." Su Fan introduced the preparations for the war.
"You don't need to tell me these things. Everything is subject to Ding Kui's command. My intervention is equivalent to changing the commander on the battlefield, which will be detrimental to the war. Ding Kui is a talent. He just wants to fight this battle with his heart. I believe in his ability." Xia Houzhuang did not interfere. The meaning of command.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Su Fan's little idea did not work. "My lord's method is clever. I used Ding Kui's hand to deal with Zhu Ke, and I can deal with Cao's enemies without having to show up." He quickly flattered him.
"Hey, when I was using Ding Kui, he was using me to use Cao Guo's hand to attack Qi State, which was beneficial to Shaodian State. I didn't deal with the enemy. I lost before we even fought." Xia Houzhuang was not beaten.
Beguiled by flattery.
Su Fan was too frightened to say anything.
"Forget it, I'll ask Xia Houxun to help Ding Kui and let him defeat Zhu Ke as soon as possible." Before Xia Houzhuang left, he left behind the strong man who came to find Su Fan.
"Zhu Ke still has a trump card?" Su Fan was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask too many questions and immediately wrote a military order to the strong man.
Xiahou Falcon is the new master knight of the Xiahou family. He was originally the commander of Xiahou Zhuang's personal soldiers, but now he is sent to serve as an assistant to Ding Kui.
Where did Ding Kui go?
He is chasing Bi Qiao and others.
Due to the addition of Xue Fu, Bi Qiao and others were immediately at a disadvantage. More than ten magicians of the Qi army were attacked and killed. Unable to withstand the fierce attack of the magicians of the Cao army, the Qi army in Shenggong City decided to abandon the city and flee.
The Qi army could have persisted longer, as long as they selected a group of fifth-level combatants to help their magicians and block the attack from the south gate. However, bad news came from Yangwei City. Someone in Cao's army cast a forbidden spell and fell from the wall.
"So far away", Cao Jun successfully occupied the city wall.
Some people speculated that the beautiful forbidden magician who appeared in Tunsha City rushed to Yangwei City, and maybe the next stop was Shenggong City. Bi Qiao and others were also panicked. Four versus four were already in a very awkward situation, and there was another Qi type coming from the opposite side.
Forbidden magicians found it difficult for them to escape, so they took the lead in retreating.
How could Ding Kui let them run away? The purpose of going to the front line was to hold them back, and immediately led Ao Yu, General Shi and Xue Fu in hot pursuit.
The magicians from both armies moved with the troops, but the eight of them took another route.
Bi Qiao was a little clever. Instead of running north, he turned around and ran east.
Shenggong City is already the easternmost city in Duanshui County, and further east is Hengye County. There are other Qi troops stationed in Hengye County, which is equivalent to leading Ding Kui and others into another war zone.
Ding Kui didn't pay attention at first, and couldn't see the direction clearly in a strange place at night. Later, after being reminded by Xue Fu, he knew that he had left Duanshui County.
"Damn! You're too cunning, there can't be an ambush. No! Speed up and catch up, fight one more time before going back." He was determined not to kill Bi Qiao and others, but also to cripple them.
Except for Xue Fu, they started fighting in the afternoon and continued until midnight. The seven level six combatants were not exhausted yet, but their physical strength and spirit were greatly consumed. If they continued to fight, they would be tired even if they were not disabled.
General Shi and Xue Fu are great archers and their speed is not too slow. Needless to say, Ding Kui and Ao Yu each have their own acceleration skills. Therefore, they caught up with Bi Qiao and others as soon as they put their strength into action.
There was a fierce battle not far away.
In the end, the forbidden magician of Qi State took out the ultimate flame shield formation disk and used a level 6 magic core to cover his companions' safe evacuation.
"Wow, the magicians of Qi State are really rich. That fire magic core is worth 100,000 gold coins." Ao Yu was greedy.
"Let's go, you can't break that shield. If you break it, the magic core will be useless." Ding Kui pulled Ao Yu away.
After flying for a while, he turned around and asked Xue Fu: "Why did you come to Shenggong City? Aren't you allowed to choose the battlefield on your own?"
Xue Fu replied: "Ah, that's the case. Originally, I wanted to go to Yangwei City, but I met Master Ruan on the way. I have nothing to do with the battlefield where there are forbidden magicians, so I'll just come and help you."
He had learned about the battle report in Shacheng before leaving the headquarters, and was very confident about Ruan Xingzhu's strength. He also knew that going to Yangwei City was just a supporting role, and it would be better to come to Shenggong City to be useful.
"Hey, Xingzhu ran very hard, and he actually ran to Yangwei City." Ding Kui hasn't received the battle report from there, mainly because he is out of touch with the team.
Because there are no magicians in their team, they cannot receive real-time information. This is the disadvantage of sending Ruan Xingzhu away.
"You guys go back to Shenggong City temporarily, and I'll take back the Rangers." Ding Kui estimated that his ambush should be over.
Ding Ji led the special forces to achieve great success. When the Qi army passed the ambush site, they suddenly burst out of the darkness and gave thousands of Qi troops a sap blow.
The Qi army did not know how many enemies were ambushing them, but they were beaten to pieces by 200 people. The commanding general was unable to restrain his men, and panic quickly spread throughout the army. The originally organized retreat collapsed and turned into a mass escape.
The two hundred men selected from the 200,000 Cao troops were really fierce. In order not to lose to the Shaodian men who took the lead, they all rushed towards the enemy as hard as they could, chasing Qi troops in small groups.
There was still some resistance at first, but after that part of the Qi army turned into flesh and blood on the ground, no one dared to stand in front of them.
The commander of the Qi Army was also unlucky. The more people surrounded the officer, the more enemies he attracted. At that time, three squads surrounded him, and a big man with a double hook blocked him like a baby. Before he could figure out what happened, he
Kill all his soldiers and capture him.
"What? The chief of staff of the Thirteenth Qi Army was arrested!" Su Fan looked in disbelief.
The Thirteenth Army Corps of Qi Army is the force responsible for defending Duanshui County.
Liang Chong snatched the military report, read it carefully, and said, "It was Ding Ji who captured alive a commander named Ge Du."
"Ge Du is the chief of staff of Qi Army!"
"No wonder Shenggong City sent troops to the southern suburbs to block the attack. It turned out that the chief of staff was commanding. This time Ding Ji caught a big fish." Liang Chong glanced at Su Fan, "Xu Shuai has made a lot of money.
"
That road was Xu Dao's army. Since Ding Kui was an advisor to the army, the battle credits he and his soldiers made went to the army on that battlefield. If it was the Rangers who captured Ge Du, the credit would fall on an individual, but it was Ding.
If they are captured collectively, even if it is the collective credit of the 31st and 32nd Divisions, Xu Dao can still get a commanding credit.
"Uh, well, congratulations to Xu Shuai." Su Fan was extremely depressed.
Ding Kui personally interrogated Ge Du and got important news. The Qi army was determined to defend the three cities on the edge of Diyan Lake.
"What's so special about the three northernmost cities? Why do we have to defend them?" Ding Kui wanted to know, but Ge Du refused to say anything.
As long as Cao Jun advanced to the far north, he would encounter Qi Jun's vigorous resistance. Ge Du said it was the same, so he exchanged it for better treatment.
He refused to talk about the core secrets related to the Qi Army. Senior officials at the corps level have a bottom line.
The staff officers of Cao's 31st and 32nd divisions got together and studied for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a reason.
"Let's wait for the headquarters to analyze and notify Xu Shuai to ask the reserve team to come and take over Shenggong City. We will turn to the middle and join the 1st and 2nd Divisions." Ding Kui decided to let it go first.
He said to General Shi and Ding Ji: "Go and have a rest. There will be many things to do tomorrow."
Ao Yu was the only one left in the room, "Can't I rest?" He was very sensible and knew that Ding Kui had arrangements.
"In addition to resting when you are not resting, you might as well go find something to eat."
"Looking for something to eat?"
Ding Kui smiled affectionately and said, "Yes, look how nice I am to you!"
