From the east-west direction, Shengong City, Yangwei City, Tianhu City and Tunsha City are on the same line. To the north are Huining City and Tianhe City. The ones closest to Diyan Lake are Shuigu City, Shuikou City and Shuidi City.
.
Ding Kui led Cao's 32nd and 33rd divisions to join the 1st and 2nd divisions, and continued to advance northward without stopping, inserting from between Yangwei City and Tianhu City to between Huining City and Tianhe City, leaving the 1st Division to sweep nearby villages and towns.
, the remaining troops and horses approached Huining City.
Bi Qiao and others circled back again, keeping a close eye on Ding Kui's movements in Huining City.
On the card, Cao's army had five sixth-level combatants, while Qi's army had only four. The defender of Huining City had to gather more than a hundred fifth-level combatants and give them to Bi Qiao to prepare for Ding Kui and others.
Ding Kui was not in a hurry and did not let the masters go into battle. Cao's army was only busy setting up camp and clearing the outer fortifications.
During this period, Qi Jun's forbidden magicians flew away from Huining City and went to Tianhe City. They were worried that Ding Kui would send Ruan Xingzhu to sneak attack another city. However, they circled back and found that Tianhe City was besieged but Ruan Xingzhu was nowhere to be seen.
.
"Oh, you were sent by the commander-in-chief, not the commander of the coalition forces." Ding Kui looked at the big man in front of him, a little unsure, "Let's see, you work with Xingzhu and Xue Fu as a team and cooperate with them to complete the mission."
Ruan Xingzhu is also here in Huining City, and has just come to see Ding Kui.
Xiahou Falcon asked: "What task do they want to complete?"
"You don't need to ask about this, just follow me. After all, we are going to fight the enemy." Xue Fu was the only person present who knew Xiahou Falcon.
"Haha, it can be said that the main reason is that I haven't thought about it yet. I will tell Xingzhu when I think about it." Ding Kui didn't mean to show off.
There is still a sixth-level master missing in the tent, and Ao Yu has gone somewhere.
The staff officer sent a military report that the coalition forces launched a fierce attack in Hengye County and Chaohu County adjacent to Duanshui County. Cao State, Meng State and Ji State each had a legion to participate in the war. Cao State also dispatched six sixth-level combatants.
Help the army attack the strategic locations occupied by the Qi army.
Under the command of Ding Kui, Cao's army in Duanshui County captured four cities in one day. Among them, the defenders of Tunsha City and Shengong City suffered heavy casualties. Even the chief of staff of the army was captured alive. Tianhu City and Yangwei City took the initiative to retreat, leaving most of them intact.
troops.
The frontline officers and soldiers admired Ding Kui very much. In the three years since Qi invaded, they had never fought such a hearty and victorious battle.
"We can't hurry up. The enemy is on guard against our sixth-level masters. The residential buildings near the city wall in Huining City are all empty. It is estimated that the enemy will stop us at all costs."
Several division leaders and staff officers didn't know where Ding Kui's news came from, but they were all convinced. In fact, Ding Kui had gone to the field to investigate in person, and the body-protecting water film had made another great contribution.
Ding Kui continued: "Based on the information provided by Ge Du, Qi Jun plans to cause heavy casualties to our army in Huining City and Tianhe City, and then quickly retreat to the front line of Sanshui City." The Sanshui City in his mouth is Shuidi City,
Shuikou City and Shuigu City.
Everyone looked at him, waiting for him to give the order.
"We need to slow down the attack speed and wait for the reserve team to transport siege equipment. The 2nd Division will bypass Huining City and conduct northward reconnaissance. The remaining troops will strengthen their camps to guard against enemy sneak attacks." He was not in a hurry to attack the city.
Ruan Xingzhu found several people questioning him with their eyes, so he asked: "Didn't you say you want to occupy the whole county as soon as possible? Why did you slow down the attack speed?"
"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" Ding Kui raised his voice, "Our army's combat effectiveness is about the same as that of the enemy. It is difficult to defeat the city without five times the strength of the army. Before, it was because the sixth-level masters helped the enemy unexpectedly, but now they have
It’s not easy to prepare.”
"Sir!" Xiahou Falcon took a step forward, "Bizhi is a surprise to the enemy. Why don't you challenge Bi Qiao? I am confident that I can defeat them."
"It's useless. They won't be fooled. They will definitely cooperate with the troops to fight. There are more than 20,000 enemy troops in the city, and Brother Yu, who is the leader of the two, is not here. Forcibly crossing will only scare the enemy." Ding Kui did not want to fight head-on in Huining City.
.
Bi Qiaogan waited for a day, but did not wait for Ding Kui to take action. He flew out to test whether there were any masters in Cao's camp. He only saw Ding Kui waving to him in the camp and had no intention of paying attention to him.
General Shi stood next to Ding Kui and asked: "Which city is Ding Yu going to attack?"
"No, I asked him to go out to relax and get back to his best condition as soon as possible to participate in the next war." Ding Kui denied making special arrangements for Ao Yu.
General Shi looked disbelieving and said: "Relaxing on the battlefield? Even if you become a master, you can't fool me like this. He must have a secret mission if he's not here."
"Since you knew it was a secret mission, why did you ask? No one from Cao State asked."
These words revealed that Ding Kui did have a secret arrangement, and he hid it from everyone. It would be inconvenient for General Shi to ask again. The former leader of Lu Guotang knew that the less people knew about the secret, the better.
Late at night, a person quietly appeared in Ding Kui's tent, um, a giant humanoid dragon.
"How's it going?" Ding Kui wasn't asleep yet.
"Liar! I didn't find the monster!" Ao Yu sat down angrily.
"Oh, that's not what I said. You can't blame me if you can't find the monster." Ding Kui knew that this guy was out of anger.
"It's almost as you guessed..." Ao Yu recounted what he saw and heard while searching for the monster.
"It's clear that Bi Qiao's elite team is not Zhu Ke's trump card. Sure enough, Wang Zha is still hiding there." Ding Kui's idea was surprisingly similar to Xia Houzhuang's. He believed that Zhu Ke could not send only 100,000 people to stay in Duanshui County, so he deliberately
Send Ao Yu, a super scout, out to investigate.
The next day, Xu Dao personally led the troops attacking Tianhu City and arrived, along with some of the siege equipment urgently transported from the rear.
In the first wave of attacks, Cao Cao's First Army dispatched six divisions, and the Fourth Army only had four. Seeing that the battle went smoothly and he got a great achievement in vain, Xu Dao couldn't sit still anymore, and led the reserve team out without waiting for orders from the headquarters.
.
"Why not besiege the city?" Xu Dao brought 30,000 troops. Adding the original 30,000 people, Cao's army under Huining City reached more than 60,000 troops, which could completely siege the city on all sides.
"There are about 20,000 Qi troops in the city, and they are about the same in Tianhe City. Counting the more than 20,000 people we wiped out the day before yesterday, are there still more than 30,000 Qi troops on the front line of Sanshui City? A siege of the city will only allow the enemy to attack from both inside and outside.
Opportunity."
"Don't the enemy defend Sanshui City? They can send up to 10,000 people to attack us." Xu Dao questioned Ding Kui's calculations.
"No, no, no, the enemy does not have to defend Sanshui City. As for why, I can't explain it now. You will know in the future. The siege is very risky." Ding Kui changed his radical attitude when leaving the headquarters and asked Cao Jun.
Play slowly and steadily.
"Master Ding, what are you waiting for?" Xu Dao couldn't understand. "The battles in Hengye County, Chaohu County and other places were very fierce. Zhu Ke commanded the main force of the Qi army to ambush his own army and repulsed all the coalition's attacks. Wan
Once the other two lines fail to hold on, Duanshui County will be rescued immediately, and we may be forced to retreat."
"It's not that easy. I have informed the coach to strengthen the attack and switch from feint to real attack. Duanshui County can switch to feint at any time." With Ruan Xingzhu by his side, Ding Kui restored the communication channel and did not need to go through the county headquarters.
.
"Why? Qi Jun's arrangements here are obviously insufficient. We have the best chance of winning this way." Xu Dao wanted to ask.
"I feel that the enemy is still ambushing me." Ding Kui did not tell what Ao Yu saw. Even if he did, no one might believe it. He would also have to explain why Ao Yu could see it.
Others say that feelings are ridiculous, and it is difficult to question the feeling of the Dominator Knight. Xu Dao is doubtful, and it is not a joke to be ambushed by the enemy.
"Let's do this. Let's tire out the enemy's level 6 combat warriors first."
Ding Kui finally took action and led Ao Yu and General Shi out of camp to challenge Bi Qiao and others. Cao Jun took the opportunity to attack the south gate of Huining City.
The battle started in the afternoon and ended when the sun set in the west. The intensity was far less intense than the battle at Shenggong City.
Bi Qiao and others felt uneasy. When Ding Kui and Cao Jun retreated, they immediately turned to Tianhe City.
Sure enough, Ruan Xingzhu, Xue Fu and Xiahou Falcon teamed up to sneak attack on Tianhe City. They were bumped into by Bi Qiao and others who had arrived. They had just fought in the dark night. Ruan Xingzhu's team was repulsed due to their numerical disadvantage.
In the middle of the night, Bi Qiao and others, who were alert, rushed back to Huining City. The sound of killing outside the south gate was loud. Ding Kui and three other people fell on the top of the city and were chasing and killing the defenders without restraint.
Bi Qiao was furious and asked his fellow magicians to cast forbidden spells to teach Cao Jun a profound lesson.
When Ding Kui saw this, he quickly grabbed Ao Yu and Shi Jiang and rushed over to interrupt the magician's spellcasting.
The two sides fought fiercely in the air, and the defenders took the opportunity to drive Cao's army off the city wall.
The battle lasted until midnight before Ding Kui led his troops back to the military camp.
This day and night, Bi Qiao and the other four were exhausted, and they fought three battles with six level six masters in Huining City and Tianhe City.
If the two cities had only 10,000 defenders, they would have been lost. Faced with a sneak attack by level six masters, they had to pay a heavy price to keep the city intact.
"There are so many magicians from the Qi army here. One legion is worth two of your legions." Ding Kui received a comprehensive battle report from the headquarters.
Xu Dao replied: "Because our legion is equipped with more archers, the number of magicians is slightly less, about 70% of Qi's army. Normally, the two legions are 40% more than them."
"That is to say, Qi Jun has 40% more magicians." Ding Kui changed the mark on the sand table.
"Maybe he was transferred from the front line of Sanshui City."
"No, I have information. There are many magicians guarding the front lines of Sanshui City, and most of them are water-type. It is not suitable to be transferred here to fight." Ding Kui regarded Ao Yu's investigation as intelligence.
"Is this an enemy ambush?" Xu Dao admired Ding Kui so much for teasing Bi Qiao and others that he believed whatever Ding Kui said.
"This ambush is only enough for defense. Zhu may ambush his own troops along the way and ambush us. He used special means to not only repel us. He may have planned to severely damage us and then occupy the entire Duanshui County." Ding Kui.
Plant a few green flags in Diyan Lake.
Xu Dao's pupils shrank sharply. The green flag rarely appeared in the sand table, or in other words, it was rare in the sand table of the Army.
