Liu Yi pushed aside the others and lowered his voice and said: "The energy in my body is raging again. It took me a whole night to suppress it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to sustain it for too long."
"Can you ask Mr. Ding to find a way to help you?" Dou Douzei's panic overshadowed his sadness.
"Impossible! Don't be stupid. That power is very high-level, far beyond your imagination. I guess it requires at least the power of the Venerable to resolve it. Do you think any Venerable is willing to waste his power on me?"
Liu Yi grabbed his wife's arm hard.
"You can't stay alone! The rebels will definitely slander you. If I stay, I can at least help you collect the bodies."
Doudoujiao couldn't control his tears, and they flowed down.
"I died fighting for the imperial court. No one is willing to take the risk of slandering the hero. The enemy army is strong and there are still a few masters. The city wall cannot be defended for long. I will disperse the troops and turn to street fighting. You will only cause trouble if you stay." Liu Yi vowed to die.
I want to fight, but I don’t want to hurt my wife.
…
"Brother, can you stop eavesdropping on other people's conversations?" Ding Kui stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Ao Yu.
"I can memorize those few sentences you lied to. Why do you still need to eavesdrop?" Ao Yu seemed to have forgotten what happened before.
Li Fei covered her mouth and snickered from behind.
"Use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman." Ding Kui glanced at the people around him and suppressed his anger.
"What is a villain? What is a gentleman?" This sentence was too difficult for Ao Yu.
"If your talent is greater than your virtue, you are a villain, and if your virtue is greater than your talent, you are a gentleman. You are brave and powerful, but you are greedy for money and unrighteousness. It is typical that your ability is greater than your virtue, villain!" Ding Kui spoke quickly.
"You have no ability and you like to pretend. Is your virtue greater than your ability? Well, you are a true gentleman." Ao Yu has certain reasoning ability and his words are correct.
"Damn it!" Ding Kui tricked himself, "Have you made any progress after hanging out with Liu Yi for two days? Why don't you go back to guard the army?"
"No, that Liu Yi smells disgusting to me."
"What?" Ding Kui couldn't understand.
Qinglong hates fire the most, followed by python-like monsters, none of which are compatible with Liu Yi.
"I don't know, I don't like it anyway." Ao Yu couldn't explain the specific feeling.
Ding Kui was silent for a while.
"What's wrong?" Li Fei noticed something unusual about him.
"Notify the spy closest to me to observe Liu Yi." He had a bad feeling and decided to send someone to monitor Liu Yi.
Li Fei didn't know how to contact the secret agent, but she knew that to contact Shaodian Luan, she just needed to occupy Liyang County.
Most cities in the areas occupied by the rebels do not have magic communication arrays. Because it requires a huge amount of resources, Xingbang City can only guarantee communications between the county and the city.
Before Ding Kui and others could arrive at Liyang County, the Sixteenth Rebellion Army had penetrated deep into Baise County, and its forward troops were frustrated at the foot of Baise County.
The next day, the main force of the Sixteenth Army cautiously approached Baise County and found that there were not many troops defending the city, so they tried to attack, but encountered fierce resistance from the defenders.
"Liu Yi is in Baise County, and the number of troops defending the city does not exceed 20,000?"
This news was beyond Chu Kui's expectation.
"Leave a legion commander to command a small number of troops to hold on. What's the conspiracy here?" He had no idea about the movements of the fifth and ninth legions.
"There is news from Liyang County that the enemy's ninth army has captured the northern pass." A magician received the message.
Chu Kui immediately unfolded the map and looked at it carefully.
"Oops! Ding Kui is interested in Liyang County." He knew it very well.
"The heavy troops stationed in Liyang County will cut off my connection with the army on the south road. If we pursue them, we will not be able to deploy our troops. If we ignore them, we will easily be attacked by surprise. This move is difficult to deal with both offensively and defensively."
"What happened to Liu Yi from Baise County?" He couldn't figure it out.
"At the end of the day, go and capture Liu Yi alive!" Cheng Jie asked for a fight.
"Well, that's fine. Master Feng, please go with you." Out of caution, Chu Kui decided to arrange for a great martial artist to preserve his direct lineage.
Shaodianbao commanded the forward troops to make rapid progress. After occupying the pass, they headed straight for Liyang County without stopping.
boom!
The huge flame demon claws smashed the city gate, thousands of cavalry roared in, and the west gate of Liyang County was breached.
Shaodianbao and Xianfu stood high in the sky, looking down at the army commanders as they drove in and spread across the city from the west gate.
"The Magic Guild leaves it to you." Shao Dianbao cupped his fists at Xianfu.
"Okay, see you at the county governor's office." Xianfu waved his sleeves and led dozens of magicians to fly into the city.
Liyang County indeed has no military value in the eyes of the rebels. Even if prepared, there are less than 5,000 defenders in the county and only ten magicians. They cannot withstand a wave of attacks from the forwards of the Nine Legions.
At the governor's mansion, Shaodian Bao took off his armor and Xianfu strode in, saying, "I have informed Mr. Ding that we have successfully captured the county town."
"Okay, hahaha, I haven't been that happy in many years." Shaodianbao sat in the lobby wearing casual clothes.
Xianfu found a chair and sat down at random, and said: "After ten years of training, one battle is the final result. The words of the sages are full of experience. You don't need to fight too many battles, you just need to fight the right one."
Click, click, click, the chaotic sound of horse hooves came from far to near, and then from near to far, as a cavalry troop ran past the governor's house.
"Well, the situation is under control, and the officers did not restrict the formation." Shao Dianbao could hear the formation of the troops, "I finally know how the title of 'Flying General' came about. Ding Kui does not stick to the situation in battle, and can
Borrow the momentum when you can, build momentum if you can't, stay ahead of the enemy step by step, and always take the initiative in the battle."
"He also has an important quality that can convince others, convince his subordinates, and even convince his enemies." Xianfu's evaluation was even higher.
"For me, Shaodian, to be the king is because of my family's heritage; for Ding Kui to convince the troops, it is also because of my family's heritage.
The country is in crisis and everyone is on the front lines. Not to mention Shaodian Kingdom, there are not many such families in the entire continent." Shaodianbao secretly admired the Ding family.
"Well, originally I was worried about his lack of experience, but I thought too much."
Xianfu's thinking was the same as that of most people who were not familiar with Ding Kui. He believed that the counter-rebellion general who was under thirty years old had no experience in commanding the national war situation and could only carry out sneak attacks on local battlefields.
When Ding Kui received news of the capture of Liyang County, he also received news of the southern defense line.
The joint forces successfully landed behind enemy lines. A special operations regiment made a surprise attack on the grain transport team, attracting the rebels to encircle and suppress them. The main force of the joint forces took the opportunity to attack the rear of the rebel defense lines. The 22nd Army seized the opportunity to successfully break through the rebel defense lines.
"Okay, Hua Song and Lei Feixiang have made great contributions." Ding Kui was very happy.
The power from Nanzhao Prefecture stirred up the war situation, which can prove from the side that Shaodianfeng's restoration is conducive to the unification of the country, and the prediction of natural disasters and eclipses did not come true for him.
It shows that the persistence of the people of Nanzhaozhou is not to split the kingdom, and they can definitely become the main force against the rebels.
"Report! A letter from the rear guard. Liu Yi has led more than 10,000 death squads to stay in Baise County and is now blocking the enemy."
"Oops! Liu Yi made a mistake." Ding Kui couldn't help shouting.
"What's wrong?" Li Fei sprinkled green light on Ding Kui's head.
"I ordered the entire army to assemble in Liyang County and did not send anyone to stay in Baise County. I wanted Chu Kui to leave Zhuangwang Prefecture as soon as possible. However, Liu Yi's actions delayed the Chu Kui Group for at least three days."
Ding Kui's judgment was very accurate, and Liu Yi took exactly three days.
When Cheng Jie's Eighteenth Army Corps arrived, Baise County entered a full-scale street battle. The Rebel Sixteenth Army Corps dispatched more than 50,000 people to carry out a carpet-like encirclement and suppression. After half a day of fierce fighting, the defenders were still not eliminated.
When Fengxun saw this, he said to Cheng Jie: "I'm not needed here anymore. I'll search the area to see if there are any enemies ambushing you."
"Master Youlao." What Cheng Jie was afraid of was an ambush, and the Eighteenth Legion came here to protect the Sixteenth Legion from a sneak attack.
…
Ding Kui did not lead the main force to settle in Liyang County, but instead looked for open space to build a military camp on the edge of the official road.
"It's okay. If a place is not big enough, you can find a few more. It doesn't matter if the distance is further. The minimum is to build the camp in divisions. There is no need to leave space for the headquarters. I will move to the city." He had no intention of staying with the troops.
.
"Aren't you afraid of others talking about you?" Min Chou felt strange.
"What are you afraid of? The First Army Corps and the Tenth Army Corps are coming too. Which camp should I be in? This is just a garrison base, it's the rear. If the enemy comes over, I'll have to leave long ago. The camp is where the soldiers rest, so it's fine if I'm not here
reduce pressure."
Ding Kui had no intention of starting a war near the county town.
The defense focus of Liyang County is on the four outer passes. If one of them is broken, it must be recaptured immediately before the enemy can attack the county.
After all the military camp locations were confirmed, Ding Kui led the headquarters personnel into the county town and settled at the county governor's mansion.
Before my butt is hot, bad news comes: Baise County has been captured, the defenders have suffered numerous casualties, Liu Yi is missing, and his life or death is unknown.
"Liu Yi is missing? Will he be captured by mistake?" Ding Kui didn't want to believe it.
"No, if a corps-level general is captured, the rebels will definitely publicize it. Even if they find the body, they will brag about it. There will be no movement."
In this regard, Shaodianbao is more familiar with the rebels than Ding Kui.
"Ding Yu, Master Min, please go find Liu Yi, it's best to rescue him." Ding Kui immediately sent out two sixth-level combatants without hesitation.
Shao Dianbao could see that Ding Kui was not pretending, so he said: "Wait a minute, two masters, you can pay attention to the enemy's movements first and follow their search team, which will make it easier to find Liu Shuai."
"Okay!" Ding Yu and Min Chou did not refuse.
…
"Ding Kui captured Liyang County, the 1st and 10th Army Corps are rushing to join together, and the crisis in the northern part of King Zhou has been temporarily lifted. What do you think, sir?"
During the regular meeting at the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, Shaodian Zhang had a happy face, which was very different from his previous mood.
"But the whereabouts of Liu Yi, the commander of the Fifth Army Corps, are still unknown. I am afraid that there will be a loss of the first army-level general this year." Gongsun Xun wanted to find fault in the egg.
Long Kun listened and responded, then asked: "What do you mean? There is something fishy about Liu Yi staying in Baise County. The specific situation needs to be investigated by your Military Justice Department. Why are you mentioning him before you find out?"
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is impossible for Ding Kui to send Liu Yi to stay in Baise County. This is contrary to the strategy of occupying Liyang County.
"It makes sense. Let's talk about Liu Yi after we get the matter clear." Shao Dianzhang was dissatisfied with Gongsun Xun's criticism at this time.
"Congratulations, Commander-in-Chief! Liyang County has fallen into the hands of our army. Not to mention the northern part of King Zhouzhou, even the southern part will soon regain stability." Jiang Xi came out to tell Shaodianzhang the good news.
