"Madam, please rest assured that I have arranged the old guards. There will be no problem with the security of the Earl's Mansion and Hengfu City." Ding Kun reported to his wife at home.
When the National Protectorate Army set off, most of the young men in Juyang City had already set out with the army. Even the Earl's Mansion only had the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled. However, the old people in the mansion were all retired from the battlefield, and they were much stronger than the young people in fighting for their lives.
It was guarded by the great martial artist Ding Kun, so it was safe without disturbing Jiang Tong.
With Ding Kui away and Shao Dian Luan in the Protector's Mansion, Long Yan became the head of the Earl's Mansion and needed to take charge of the affairs of the entire Nanqiu County. After Xinzhou Mu took office, the Ding family basically withdrew from Nanjing and only regarded Nanqiu County as their own.
Territory, Shaodianji also acquiesced.
The key point is that Shao Dianji will not agree. The armed forces of Nanzhao Prefecture are still in Ding Kui's hands. The new guard captain is Shao Dianfei, and the border troops are the new 12th and 20th legions. Without Ding Kui's order, no one can
The command does not move.
"Old housekeeper, don't worry, just watch over Jingjing alone. The others can take care of themselves."
It cannot be said that Long Yan does not care whether others live or die, because the lives of all people combined are not worth Jiang Jing's life.
"I don't dare to speak big words. No one below the seventh level of combat power can hurt the eldest lady."
"Mother! Grandpa Kun!" Jiang Jing rode Wangcai into the hall, "Who wants my hair?"
"..."
…
After arranging matters in Tianmen Town, Ding Kui returned to the capital and first went to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion to learn about the latest battle situation.
He was stopped in front of the gate of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, "Fei'er, Brother Yu, why are you here?" He remembered that he did not send a message to the two people in front of him.
"If you're still not happy, then I'll go back." Ao Yu turned to leave, but was held back by Li Fei.
"My eldest brother and I will follow my husband when he goes to war. At this time, I have informed my wife, and she has agreed." Li Fei brought out Shao Dianluan to support herself, "You need Junior Sister Ruan, but you don't need us. It doesn't make sense.
"
Ding Kui thought of Rongci's words in his mind, so he nodded: "Okay, I just need a liaison officer, and you are the best person to follow me closely."
Ao Yu suddenly stared at Ding Kui and said, "You are different, but I can't tell you what's different. Did grandpa look for you again?"
This green dragon is so sensitive that it probably noticed that I had come into contact with the skin of the White Dragon God.
"No! I haven't seen any treasures." Ding Kui deliberately exposed a flaw.
"No, I didn't ask about the treasure." Ao Yu's eyes lit up, "Take it out and open your brother's eyes."
"Really not, we are about to start a war with the people from the West Sea. They probably have what you want." Ding Kui threw out a little more bait.
"I always find treasures every time I go out. I don't believe you didn't find them this time." Ao Yu was about to start searching.
"Don't worry, there are many treasures in the palace. I will take you to pick them after this battle is over." Ding Kui coaxed and lied and tied Ao Yu to his side.
After understanding the military situation, Ding Kui took Li Fei and Ao Yu and rushed to the Magic Club. There was a special earth teleportation shaft there that could pass seven levels.
The magic of Shaodian Kingdom has been in the hands of earth magicians for many years. They enjoy rights but also bear many responsibilities. Guarding the capital is one of their responsibilities.
Guarding the capital begins with guarding the seven peripheral passes. If the seven passes guarding the main transportation routes are not broken, there will be no large-scale troops threatening the capital.
Earth teleportation shafts can transport a small amount of personnel and materials, mainly to prevent the enemy from using high-end combat power to seize the pass.
In addition, there is an earth defense array, which can strengthen the defensive power of city walls, city gates and other defensive facilities.
Therefore, Zhenjing City can be called one of the most difficult cities to conquer.
In Xiping County City, there is a large camp outside the city. From time to time, carriages and horses come from the city, load things and transport them into the military camp, and then leave empty.
"Commander Liu, General Dou, you are here, please come quickly." Shao Dianbao greeted the team of the commander of the fifth army at the gate.
This time he summoned Liu Yi to discuss the battle plan.
"Scouts have detected traces of the rebels. A large number of troops are heading towards the Demon-Suppressing Pass. Commander Wang Deng has arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Pass to command the battle and hopes that we will go to support them as soon as possible."
Shao Dianbao asked his staff to report the military situation.
"Here we go to Zhenmo Pass. We have to march quickly to get there in two days. The question is, will the enemy ambush us? If we penetrate directly into the base camp of the northern defense line, recapture the base camp, and cut off the enemy's food routes, we should be able to force the enemy to retreat." Liu
Yi put forward his own opinion.
"It's too risky. If the enemy stays at the base camp of the northern defense line and waits for us to come to the door, and then let the vanguard move behind us, we will be the ones who have the food route cut off." The chief of staff of the Ninth Army Corps objected.
Liu Yi shook his head slightly and said: "We will set off in front and back to cover a day's journey. If we find that the enemy's rear is empty..."
Before he finished speaking, a citizen ran into the tent: "Report! The coach Ding Kui is here."
"What?" Shaodian suddenly stood up, "Where is your lord?"
"Just entered the camp gate."
Shaodianbao looked at Liu Yi and said, "Hurry up and greet us." Liu Yi and Dou Douzei both stood up.
A group of senior generals ran out of the Chinese army's tent and hurried toward the gate of the military camp.
Sure enough, Ding Kui, Li Fei, and Ao Yu came from the camp gate without riding horses or accompanying them with personal guards.
"The last general, Shaodianbao (Liu Yi), is late to greet you. Please forgive me, Master Ding."
Shao Dianbao and others stood in two rows on the left and right, bowing to Ding Kui.
"No courtesy. I came here intentionally concealing my whereabouts. What crime do you have? Young Dianbao, block the news."
"Yes! Come here, here is the order to strictly prohibit leaking the news of Lord Ding's arrival. Anyone who has seen Lord Ding should wait outside the Chinese army's tent for orders. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Shao Dianbao immediately ordered.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir. The generals and others are discussing the military situation. Please take charge, sir." He then invited Ding Kui to go to the central military tent.
Dou Doujiao followed Liu Yi and asked secretly: "Is that the third lady next to you? It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman."
"Hush, they must have flown here. The other one must be the great martial artist Ding Yu. His ears are very good."
Liu Yi has never met Ding Yu, but he can fly and is not a magician. He is the only one as young as Ding Kui.
Ao Yu turned his head and glanced at Liu Yi and his wife inadvertently.
Doudoujiao immediately closed his mouth.
The people in the central military tent sat down again in order of priority. Ding Kui sat in the center of the tent, with Shaodian Bao at the top and Liu Yi at the bottom.
Shaodianbao asked, "My lord, do you have a confidential mission for me?" Although he was the commander of the army, he was several levels away from the general.
"It's good that you are all there. I order you to actively prepare for war in Xiping County."
"What?" Shao Dianbao and Liu Yi both thought they heard wrong.
"Yes! Haha, I know you have doubts, you might as well guess why I gave this order." Ding Kui came into contact with these two regiment commanders for the first time, and he was not in a hurry to explain his order, and planned to test them first.
.
All the generals present are deep in thought. The commander's test cannot be answered carelessly. You must think it through clearly.
"However, Lord Wang requires me to support the Demon Suppressing Pass as soon as possible. Do you know?" Shao Dianbao ventured to test.
"It doesn't matter, I asked him to go to the Demon-Suppressing Pass, you just have to be responsible for me."
Ding Kui's words revealed two messages: one was that Wang Deng obeyed his command, and the other was that he could use his order to override Wang Deng's order.
Liu Yi raised his hand, and Ding Kui nodded, "Sir, do you want to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, use static braking to find opportunities for combat, and wait for the enemy to make mistakes?" Liu Yi was eager to show off.
He was promoted to legion commander as an exception. In fact, his qualifications were not enough and he was a head shorter than other genuine legion commanders.
Ding Kui looked at Shaodian Bao and asked, "What do you think?"
Shaodianbao stood up and clasped his fists: "Please allow me to briefly analyze it."
"Speaking."
"The rebels took advantage of the Yangfeng rebellion to occupy the northern defense line. The current strength is about 450,000. The First Army and the Tenth Army retreated to Zhenmo Pass, with about 150,000 troops. The total strength of Jiji and General Liu is also about 150,000.
Ten thousand.
The comparison of the strength of the enemy and our troops is 450,000 to 300,000. If our army is at a disadvantage when encountering it in the wild, our army can be on par with the enemy's army by holding on to the city gate. At this time, supporting the Suppressing Demon Pass will most likely lead to a balance of power with the rebels.
If there are no off-site troops to intervene, our army needs to use a surprise to defeat the enemy. Xiping County is about two or three days away from Zhenmo Pass. If we can grasp the exact dynamics of the enemy, we can make a time difference."
Shaodianbao's explanation was much more detailed than Liu Yi's, with data and comparisons, and an implicit understanding of the combat effectiveness of the two armies.
Bang bang bang, Ding Kui applauded.
"That's roughly it! In addition to the Eighth Army Corps and the National Protectorate Army crossing the river, the Twenty-second Army Corps will also start crossing the river tomorrow. As time goes by, we will have a strength advantage, which means there will definitely be intervention by off-site troops." Ding
There are supplements but based on more information.
At this moment, many generals looked surprised. The new commander wanted to fight for superiority.
Shaodian Bao made a very clear analysis earlier. Now that the fight is about to start, there will be at most no loss or no win. This is not a situation that can be changed by the words of the commander-in-chief present.
"It makes sense! The rebels didn't know that the king suddenly reset, and they didn't prepare for the Yangfeng Summit rebellion. However, your Excellency had already transferred the Eighth Army Corps, the Twenty-second Army Corps and the National Protectorate Army to the edge of the Xijiang River. This caused our army's initial disadvantage and
The advantage behind it." Liu Yi strengthened his understanding.
"Sir, you should have some backup plans, right?"
Ding Kui looked at Shao Dianbao with interest and said, "Why do you ask this?"
"You disappeared for a few days and then suddenly came here. This has nothing to do with your order. However, your appearance at the Demon Suppression Pass has a more effective effect on deterring the enemy."
After the defeat of the Ten Legions, Shao Dianbao began to study Ding Kui in depth. He can be said to be the one who knows Ding Kui the best among the existing legion commanders, not even inferior to Gu Jun, Jin Man and others.
Liu Yi secretly admired him: He is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of an elite army. I can't react in such a short period of time. I must learn to work with these people.
"Haha, there is no back-up plan, just some preparation. Chu Kui and Yang Feng both came from the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, so they can be said to be very familiar with our army.
Only they don't know much about me, and they also have the new surrender of Yangfeng and the Seventeenth Legion. These two points are the most likely to cause them to make mistakes.
If we can discover their mistakes and omissions, we should crack down hard and never let go of any opportunity."
Ding Kui always has a smile on his face, giving people the feeling of spring breeze.
