Ding Kui tilted his head and looked at Ao Yu: "Brother, please run over."
The difficulty in attacking the city is to break through the gate and occupy the city wall. If there is a powerful martial artist, it will be no problem. He wants a quick victory and does not want to waste time in Huanggang City. If necessary, he will go to the battle himself.
In fact, he still has a few trump cards in his hand, but he just doesn't want to expose them.
"You have a bad attitude." Ao Yu was angry because he didn't get the information about the treasure.
Cold sweat flowed from Shaodian Bao's back: Talk to the coach like this!
"There are a lot of supplies there, and the warehouse is under your control."
Phew, a blue light flashed out of the tent.
"Haha, he is not my slave, but a friend who is here to help. He needs a little encouragement."
Ding Kui gave Shao Dianbao a "you understand" look.
"Oh, oh, a righteous man, a true righteous man."
What else can Shaodianbao say?
Friends who come to help are not bound by royal laws and military disciplines. Such people are uncles.
Even if the court knew that he had embezzled property after winning the war, no one would jump out to accuse him. Anyone who dared to say more would definitely be spitted to death.
Are you capable? Go to the front line!
"Senior Brother Qian sent a message that he has just organized the three strongest adventure groups to attack the Bea County Magic Guild and immediately destroy the magic communication array." Li Fei found an opportunity to report privately.
"Well, that's right. Chaos has begun in the enemy-occupied areas in the north. Can Chu Kui still sit still?" Ding Kui knew what he was doing.
His secret order was issued by Li Fei himself, but only Qian You could understand the secret language. It was his intention to destroy communications behind enemy lines on a large scale.
"They assassinated more than a dozen magicians and three knights, and now they dare to attack the city. How many people did you send?" Li Fei was curious.
"I don't know the specifics. Although it is temporarily occupied by rebels, I believe that the local people are loyal to the court. As long as they are given hope and leaders, they will spontaneously resist the rule of the rebel king."
Ding Kui has been to the towns on the northern border, and there are relevant records in family classics. People living on the northern border are basically conservative and nostalgic people, and will not accept new rulers so easily. They prefer the imperial court to resume governance.
Qianyou and the adventure group are safer than any previous unit that sneaked behind enemy lines, but unfortunately there are not enough instructors to organize a local armed uprising.
Dou Xiaoqi had sneaked behind enemy lines, but he had to guide the adventure group, and he had to go to places, and there were key cities waiting for him.
The same news reached Chu Kui's ears.
He hurriedly left the commander's station where he was watching the attack on Zhenmo Pass and returned to the frontline military camp.
"Can anyone tell me what happened?"
The tent became quiet, no one wanted to face the coach who was on the verge of anger.
"Ahem." Yang Feng saw Chu Kui's eyes falling on him, "My subordinates speculated that Ding Kui indeed sent people to sneak into the rear of our army to carry out small-scale sabotage operations.
His direct troops were far south of the Xijiang River, and it was unlikely that they could reach Bea County in such a short period of time. They could only be recruited from places close to Bea County.
Counting from the day he suddenly disappeared, the most suspicious place was Tianmen Town. There were many adventure groups there, and there were probably over a thousand adventurers with an average combat power of level 4 or above.
Master Rong who is stationed in Tianmen Town has a close relationship with Ding Kui and can help Ding Kui recruit hundreds of adventurers to quickly go to Bia County with the help of the Tianmen Fortress Division."
He actually made a guess without knowing anything about it. He is worthy of being a person who can secure the position of chief of staff of the Eighth Army.
"Hmph! Hundreds of people dare to come to my rear and cause trouble." Chu Kui suddenly stopped.
He looked at Yangfeng with a hesitant expression.
"My subordinates really don't know. It was your order to attack the Demon Suppressing Pass. Originally, my subordinates suggested attacking the southern defense line. It is completely impossible to cooperate with Ding Kui to mobilize the magicians in the rear." Yang Feng reacted immediately.
"Well, I didn't mean that." The expression on Chu Kui's face softened a little, "Who has a way to deal with these rabble as soon as possible?"
While everyone was thinking, new information came in.
"The defenders of Huanggang City discovered traces of the enemy's 71st Division. The enemy troops bypassed the city and headed west. The defenders were worried about being attacked and did not go out of the city to investigate."
"What? When did the Eighth Army Corps run behind us?" Chu Kui's face changed slightly.
He is not afraid of a small group of enemy troops, nor is he afraid of a single enemy division, but if that division belongs to the Eighth Army, he has to be wary.
"It may not be the entire Eighth Army. The 71st Division has high mobility. It came as soon as it learned that we had broken through the northern defense line. If there is a chance, it will appear in Huanggang City at this time." Shuyangfeng who was present knew the 71st Division best.
"It's the rear area of the Zhili Army again. Could it be that Ding Kui is personally leading it? He's running to meet the small troops from Bia County." Chu Kui connected the two things.
"If Ding Kui is in the army, he may try to attack Huanggang City, which is an important node on our army's food route. Capturing Huanggang City is more important than connecting a small group of troops. My subordinates think that Ding Kui should be waiting for us somewhere." Yang Yang
Feng was quickly digesting this information.
"Wait for us?"
Chu Kui Pin Yipin thinks it is very possible.
"What can a division do alone? The cavalry can't run if the forage supply is cut off. Now we can step up our attack on the Demon-Suppressing Pass and force Ding Kui to show up.
No matter where he is ambushing, he must know the situation at the Demon Suppression Pass, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that the foreshadowing he left only became apparent after my army appeared."
"Could the National Defense Army flag that appeared at the gate have something to do with this?" Yang Feng was a little unsure. The key was that it was also his first time meeting Ding Kui.
"It's a bluff, it's better to just wave the flag of the Eighth Army." Some staff members didn't take it seriously.
"No!" Yang Feng denied firmly, "No one can pretend to be the Eighth Army in front of me."
It is difficult to fake other numbers in front of a familiar enemy, which is very prominent during the civil war. The National Protectorate is different. The rebels cannot distinguish between the National Protectorate and the New Legion.
In the second half of the night, the energy of heaven and earth near the Zhenmo Pass suddenly became restless, and many people woke up from their dreams.
"It's broken! Someone secretly released the forbidden curse!" Wang Deng knew very well. He had seen such unusual movements on the battlefield before.
"Oops!" Chen Yu jumped up from the bed.
"My lords, don't panic, my senior brother is guarding the pass, I'll go take a look." Quan Ling's voice came from outside the tent.
The commander, like the officers and soldiers, had to go to the military camp to rest, and the Demon Suppressing Pass was full of defenders preparing for war.
Wang Deng and Chen Yu quickly put on their armors, ran out of their sleeping tents, mounted their horses, and ran quickly to the Demon Suppression Pass.
boom!
Before they reached the gate, they heard a loud noise, felt a big earthquake, and there were golden and red lights intertwined in the distance.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Wang Deng and Chen Yu were anxious.
The battles in the days before the Demon Suppression Pass were all carried out with conventional force. Even if it turned into a battle between magicians, it was still below the fifth level of combat power. There was no sixth level combatant who could influence the battle situation.
Quan Ling was the first level 6 warrior to appear in the imperial court. Other masters came later, but they remained silent and only guarded the Demon Suppression Pass in secret.
As soon as they ran into the pass, Wang Deng and Chen Yu heard the sound of fighting coming from the outer pass. The enemy had launched an attack at night.
"The situation is not bad, our army is resisting!"
If the forbidden spell directly hits the outer gate, the defenders will push to the second level of the gate wall, and the sound heard will be much closer.
"Look, there are many magicians rising into the sky." Wang Deng found many figures in the sky.
A magician can basically activate a magic shield in a combat situation. The magic shield is more eye-catching in the dark when it shines, and most people can see it.
"Fortunately, we have arranged for night magicians to guard the gates. Crazy enemies will come at any time." Chen Yude and Wang Deng warned and strengthened the defense.
Lei Feixiang led the Second Special Operations Regiment on the first day he arrived and was arranged to be put on guard duty for three hours. A thousand men were guarded for three hours. He was trained in a battle that was not too fierce. Tonight it was he who led the team on night watch.
"Shoot the crossbow into the sky!" He held the shield in front of him with his left hand and directed the battle from the enemy tower.
He turned the Second Special Forces Regiment into three battalions, with each battalion having 800 men. Each time they rotated up the wall, there were two squadrons of people from the First Army Corps to cooperate. Their equipment was obviously better than that of the First Army Corps. They all wore fine armor and held weapons.
There is a man who is good at using weapons and carries a strong crossbow and five hundred crossbow arrows.
The powerful crossbows and crossbow arrows were transported from Hengfu City by special personnel arranged by the Magic Association. They were transferred to the capital through the portals of Hengfu City, Nanjing City, Jianyang City and Qingling City, and were transported by space rings in the most economical way.
Enough equipment for a regiment.
When Lei Feixiang recruited, he tried his best to select archers and warriors so that they could quickly master the use of crossbows. Fortunately, the city defense battle did not require high hit rates, so he could barely use them after a few days of simple training.
Three hundred soldiers of the special operations group raised their crossbows and pointed them at the magician floating in the sky outside the pass. They listened to the officer's whistle and fired their arrows. They didn't care whether their aim was accurate or not. They had to keep up with the officer's rhythm and fire all at once.
Three hundred arrows are enough to cover an area of airspace.
The most dazzling figures in the sky are three figures, two red and one golden. The red one is located in the rebel camp, and the golden one is on the defensive side.
The strength of those three is obviously higher, and the light of the magic shield on their body is particularly dazzling. Every time the magic wand is waved, it can light up the night sky, and burst out with amazingly powerful magic.
"Finally, I got ruthless! I sent two forbidden magicians to make a sneak attack. If I hadn't been prepared, I wouldn't have been able to defend. Did Master Ding hit the enemy where it hurts?"
Chen Yu is not stupid. He has not seen the reinforcements and the coach for such a long time. It would be strange to say that he has no ideas. There are many speculations secretly.
Wang Deng looked at the flames gradually lighting up under the pass and said, "Probably so. Calculating the time, it's almost time. At least we have crossed the original northern defense line."
"See Mr. Wang and Mr. Chen." Lei Feixiang turned around and saluted the newly arrived Shangguan.
"What happened with the loud noise just now?" Wang Deng pretended to help the thunder fly.
"Just now, the enemy magician launched a flaming claw to sneak attack the door. Master Fang, who was on duty at night, reacted quickly, launched a protective circle, and used a rock wall to block the door. The rock wall was shattered, and the door survived."
It takes time to activate the Flame Demon Claw. Lei Feixiang's advance warning also bought Fang Zhen time to prepare, and then he had time to activate the magic circle. Lei Feixiang omitted this section and did not want to take credit.
