"The last general and the tenth legion are loyal to the court, the royal family, and the kingdom. As long as there is a military order, they will charge into battle and fight to the death. They will never slack off due to personal grudges.
When I became your enemy, I had military orders, and I will abide by my duties. As for victory, defeat, death, and casualties, I will not dare to remember them."
Seeing that Ding Kui insisted on speaking, Shao Dian Tai had no choice but to make a statement.
It is definitely not true that he has no resentment in his heart, but he also hopes to fight under Ding Kui. Good subordinates are as important as good superiors, and the latter is even more important.
After the battle some time ago, Ding Kui's name was completely established.
He had his first head-to-head confrontation with the rebels. He not only regained the defense line lost due to the Yangfeng Rebellion, but also destroyed Chu Kui's base camp, forcing the Chu Kui Group to retreat step by step. In just half a month, the Zhuang Wangzhou War Zone
Earth-shaking changes have taken place.
Who in the military does not want to have a brave and invincible general? Senior generals also want to lead troops to fight under the correct leadership.
Ding Kui was very happy that the problem of the tenth legion was temporarily solved. He specially arranged a welcome dinner and asked the best cook in the city to provide a banquet.
During the dinner, Shaodianbao couldn't help but ask: "When will our army go south to attack the rebel Xuanyuan Subu?"
"I heard that Xuanyuansu began to shrink its defenses, and there was no need to attack the southern defense line for two days. Several attacks organized by Jin Shuai were repulsed. The rebels' defenses are very tight.
It is not easy to sneak attack Xuanyuan Su now, and a frontal attack will easily lead to a fight, and Chu Kui will have the opportunity to attack us, which will also cause difficulties for our logistical supplies."
To Ding Kui's surprise, even the Eighth Army's attack was repelled.
Jin Man planned the overall situation, and Jiang Zhi directed the local battles. The two wise generals joined forces but failed to win. Although the rebels had a great advantage in strength and masters, they had to admit that Xuanyuan Su was a difficult character to deal with.
Ding Kui can obtain news from each war zone at any time from the capital, and so can Chu Kui and Xuanyuan Su. There is still the possibility that the northern and southern rebels will join forces.
Once the troops from Liyang County are in a stalemate with the southern rebels, Chu Kui can send an army south to make a sneak attack, leaving Ding Kui defenseless.
Chu Kui's food supply is indeed low, but it can still be saved to provide for an army.
Why didn't Chu Kui and Xuanyuan Su join forces before? That's because the two armies were too far apart. A one-way journey would take at least seven or eight days, and all battles would be over.
After all, Ding Kui only had more than 200,000 men at his disposal. Excluding those to defend the base, the number of troops he could send out was limited.
Chen Yu did not let Ding Kui wait any longer and arrived at Liyang County the next day.
"Huh? Where is Mr. Wang?" Ding Kui noticed that Wang Deng did not come with Chen Yu.
"Well, Mr. Wang said that he can hand over the temporary deputy coach when the crisis in Zhenjing City is over. The staff department is busy and waiting for his return." Chen Yu didn't understand the matter of the upper leadership.
"There are so many people in the general staff, but I am alone."
Ding Kui wanted to say he was a polished commander, but others couldn't understand him.
"You guys, each send me a staff officer. I'll return it to you when I go on a mission." He shamelessly asked for someone.
Four legions gathered in Liyang County, and the military affairs of the headquarters increased explosively. He had never faced so many in Nanzhao Prefecture, and there was always someone to help him share the burden.
Chen Yu and other legion commanders were delighted. This was the first time they had seen such an embarrassed coach.
"Report, the rebel Chukui troops are moving to the west, and the flags of the Eighteenth Rebel Army are still seen in Baise County."
This was information detected by the 71st Division and passed through the newly recovered cities on the northern border.
"Oh, Hui Meng has established a foothold in Fengmin City." Ding Kui first confirmed the authenticity of the information.
"General, thank you for taking care of Hui Meng!" Chen Yu quickly came out to salute.
Hui Meng was his subordinate. He thought that the entire 7th Division was wiped out, but unexpectedly the division commander escaped.
The 7th Division blocked the main force of the First Army. Chen Yu was able to evacuate with the help of Shao Diantai. Thanks to Hui Meng for delaying the rebels. As long as Hui Meng had no problems, he was still willing to take back Hui Meng and others.
"It happened to happen, and he was able to seize the opportunity. Cheng Jiebu is still in Baise County. Well, Chu Kui is unwilling to fail." Ding Kui did not expose Hui Meng.
Shaodianbao analyzed: "According to the current situation, Chu Kui left eighteen legions behind, which means that his main force has withdrawn westward. Baise County must leave at least one month's logistics supplies to give him time to re-open the food route."
Ding Kui pulled out a few small flags on the sand table and said: "There should be some people left in Biya County, which is closest to Haishan Prefecture. Chu Kui does not have to withdraw all the troops and baggage, at least not until we fight over."
"This way our army can attack Xuanyuan Subu with confidence." Shao Dianbao turned his attention to the rebels on the southern route.
"Attacking Xuanyuan Su?" Ding Kui pondered.
"It is safer to get in touch with the southern defense line first." Chen Yu suggested.
Military orders from the Commander-in-Chief's Office have been issued, and each unit knows where to receive logistical supplies.
Military rations, military pay and consumable ordnance are the key points, which are the key to supporting high morale of the troops.
"Good! Shao Dian Tai listens to orders." Ding Kui made a decision.
"The end is here!"
"The Tenth Army Corps will leave from the eastern pass of Liyang County and open up a road to connect with the Eighth Army Corps. I would like to ask Master Minchou and General Shaodian Sui for assistance."
"As you command!"
It is the most powerful force at the moment of attack, accompanied by two level six warriors. Counting Shao Diantai himself and Tan Shang, it is also an unstoppable force.
Chen Yu muttered: "It's my idea." Shao Dianbao patted him on the shoulder, "Can your troops outrun the war horses?" Dou Douzei kept laughing at him.
The normal march from Liyang County to the southern defense line takes about three days. The cavalry unit can shorten the time by at least half. Even if it bypasses certain checkpoints, it is much faster than the infantry.
"Set off!"
After Qiao Meng gave an order, the 80th Division lined up through its own defense line, climbed over the enemy's trenches in the morning light, advanced to the main road, and cleared the roadblocks all the way east.
Jiang Zhi was able to receive Ding Kui's military order immediately and immediately adjusted his deployment and focused on opening up the road to Liyang County.
…
"Sir, there is movement over there in Liyang County. The enemy's 10th Army Corps is approaching the enemy's 8th Army Corps."
At the base camp of the rebel South Route Army, the majestic commander Xuanyuan Su was listening to the staff report.
Sitting below were two legion commanders, one was Shi Shi, the commander of the Seven Rebel Legions, and the other was Spanter, the commander of the Giant Shark Legion.
"Lord Xuanyuan, please hand over the enemy's tenth legion to the last general." Spante's blue hair is very eye-catching.
"Your department hasn't finished its rest yet, so let's hand it over to the Seventh Legion." Shi Shi was not to be outdone.
"Commander, the ten enemy armies are defeated by me, why bother you to take action." The general of the Thousand Island Alliance spoke quite elegantly.
"Ahem." Xuanyuan Su interrupted the conversation between the two, "Two elite legions are going to join forces, and you are going to stop them? It's not that I look down on you, Lord Chu has learned from the past."
Shi Shi and Spante thought about what they said together. They couldn't say they were better than the Northern Route Army coach.
"Ding Kui dares to send troops, so he must be fully prepared. The enemy to the west is the biggest threat to our army. If they want to join forces, let them go." Xuanyuan Su did not intend to intercept the Tenth Army.
"Forget it, when the enemy's tenth legion comes to attack, our troops can destroy them." Spante did not take the cavalry legion seriously at all.
"With Ding Kui's help, will the Eighth Army attack our army again?" Shi Shi was worried. Xuanyuan Su had already named the enemy and sent six-level combatants.
Xuanyuan Su said slowly: "Now the offensive and defensive situation has changed. The enemy has a temporary advantage, but there is still a long way to go before defeating our army.
Our base camp has enough troops and experts to guard it. Unlike Lord Chu's place, if the enemy forces forcefully attack, our army can attack head-on.
Mr. Chu missed the opportunity, so the people behind him retreated again and again, but as long as we can hold on, we can help him regain the opportunity."
A staff officer asked: "What if Ding Kui also makes a sneak attack on our rear?"
"That's a good question!" Xuanyuan Su's mouth curled up slightly, "Our army should attack with all our strength! It's worth defeating a counter-rebellion general and losing some cities and counties..."
…
The Tenth Army and the Eighth Army successfully joined forces, and Liu Yu and Kong Ren also came to the Liyang County headquarters.
"See Sir Coach."
"No gifts, no gifts." Ding Kui walked up to the two of them and hugged each other.
"I am ashamed to have caused the two ministers to lose their official positions." He was referring to the official positions of Liu Yu and Kong Ren in the small court.
"It doesn't matter whether I am an official or not, but I have wronged Mr. Kong."
Kong Ren glanced at Liu Yu and said, "What are you talking about? Senior, please don't laugh at me. Don't I know my abilities? I am more than capable of running an army and a county, but I am far from qualified to be a minister."
Ding Kui said half-jokingly: "Brother Kong, when you come to my place, you can do more than just manage an army."
He had commanded over a million troops in the counter-insurgency theater and could easily turn into a legion. Naturally, he wanted Kong Ren to share more military affairs.
"As a subordinate, I can take care of logistics." Kong Ren took the initiative to apply for the position.
"Hahaha, I don't have many manpower now, and you all know my habits, so please take care of me. Well, Mr. Liu will be the chief official, and Brother Kong will be the middle man and the official." Ding Kui immediately assigned positions to the two of them.
.
He was able to get rid of the dilemma of being a polished commander.
"It is reported that the 10th Army Corps has joined forces with the 8th Army Corps, Chukui's troops are moving closer to the state border, and the rebellious 17th Army Corps is staying in Bea County. I wonder what the Lord's plan is?" Liu Yu immediately entered the role.
The latest information was placed on the table, and he read it while he was talking.
Ding Kui asked: "What do you think should be done next?"
"Yangfeng may be in Bia County. Do you want revenge?" Liu Yu asked very directly.
"I won't fall for this trick of luring the enemy."
"My lord is wise!" Liu Yuxiao flattered him, "My subordinates think that the next war will focus on logistics.
If the enemy gains logistical advantages first, the northern and southern armies can join forces to drive our army out of the enemy-occupied area and re-establish a situation of confrontation and stalemate.
If we can destroy the enemy's logistical supplies, our army can work together to repel the enemy one by one and keep them out of King Zhouzhou."
Fighting wars and providing logistics is not a sophisticated strategy. He is used to attacking the enemy in the right way.
"To destroy logistical supplies is to cut off Xuanyuan Su's food route. At least two legions are needed. The question is how to maintain our food route?" Ding Kui had already thought of this plan.
