A group of cooks and grooms rushed out of the Yangtougou military camp with their men eating their own meals. Any commander who saw the chaotic formation would yell at them.
However, they have no combat mission, they just come out to clean up the battlefield.
At this point the battle has come to an end.
Zheng Yun erected a military flag on the rebel command platform and issued flag messages to guide his troops in pursuing the enemy.
She originally wanted to follow Ding Kui to hunt down the rebel generals, but Ding Kui forced her to stay and command the entire army to encircle and annihilate the enemy.
The rebel general greased the soles of his feet and fled before the cavalry team could approach the command platform. He also put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers and fled desperately under the cover of a group of guards.
Originally, Ding Kui could abandon his team, use level six combat power to catch up, and kill the rebel generals alone. However, without his command, the cavalry brigade would be easily disrupted by the blocking rebels, which would affect the final result.
Whether a mediocre general kills or not has very little impact on the overall battle situation, but the impact of ten or twenty thousand rebels is much greater.
Therefore, Ding Kui continued to command the cavalry troops to fight until the enemy army broke up and fled, leaving Zheng Yun behind to lead a small team to chase the rebel general.
The pursuit ended just before dark, and Zheng Yun ordered beacon fires to be lit to gather the troops.
It is easy to defeat the rebels, but it is too difficult to annihilate them. What's more, the strength of the Yangtougou military camp is already at a disadvantage. After a pursuit battle, 20 to 30% of the rebels were lost.
When the lights first came on, Ding Kui came back and, as expected, brought back the heads of the rebel generals.
Arriving at the Zhongjun tent, Zheng Yun stepped forward and reported: "Sir, this was found on the enemy."
Ding Kui looked at the bag and the pile of round pills on the table with twinkling eyes. He picked up a round pill and brought it to his nose for a sniff.
"It's a pill! Have you tried it with someone?"
Zheng Yun replied: "As you guessed, the enemy's abnormality originated from this pill."
"Find a grass-mud horse, feed it with diluted pills, and record its daily status." Ding Kui exuded murderous aura.
Zheng Yun looked at Ding Kui in surprise and said, "As ordered."
"Oh, you can tell me this in private." Ding Kui pointed to a few bags, "Immediately send someone to send these bags of pills to the Demonic Branch, and the rest will be sealed and stored in the warehouse."
"Yes!" Zheng Yun immediately ordered.
Ding Kui continued to order: "Well, select five thousand elite soldiers, eat and drink enough to rest for two hours, and then follow me to support the nearby towns."
Without waiting for Zheng Yun to persuade him, he added: "Five thousand people may be a lot less or a lot more. Can you lead the army to ensure victory?"
Zheng Yun shook his head in embarrassment.
Now that she knows that the enemy has pills that increase her status, she really doesn't have the confidence to defeat the enemy.
"Even I can't guarantee that we will win until I'm sure whether there are six-level combatants in the enemy formation. I can only say that it's safest for me to lead the troops." Ding Kui didn't dare to finish his sentence.
If an enemy escapes from a battle during the day, he might attract a level 6 warrior from the rebel side. Once he is entangled by an enemy of comparable strength, it will be hard to say whether he will win or lose on the battlefield.
Tian Dan and Zheng Yun, who had just arrived, hesitated to speak. It was their duty to prevent the coach from going into battle, but they could not refute Ding Kui.
"Just like today, what would the fight be like if it were you?" Ding Kui said with a hint of reprimand.
If Zheng Yun and Tian Dan were able to defeat the rebels, they would not have to wait for Ding Kui to arrive before launching a counterattack.
"How about you bring more troops?" Tian Dan gave up trying to dissuade Ding Kui from leading the army.
"Soldiers are more valuable than large numbers. Even these five thousand men are too many for me. If it weren't for rotation, I would have brought two thousand men."
It turned out that Ding Kui not only wanted to rescue a town, but also wanted to divide the five thousand people into taking turns to fight.
The rebels launched a full-scale offensive in Zhongwangzhou, starting from Xijiang in the north and reaching Jiguo in the south. Wherever there was a confrontation between armies, there was war.
The Yangtougou military camp was only attacked by more rebels, and its neighboring towns faced enemies ranging from thousands to more than 10,000.
Ding Kui personally led the troops, and when he encountered two to three thousand rebels, it was just a matter of charging.
Zheng Yun knew his junior brother well and knew that persuasion was useless, so he hurriedly selected men and horses to prepare for the expedition.
Tian Dan was unwilling to lag behind and sent all his soldiers to Ding Kui.
When they heard that they were going to follow Ding Kui into battle, all the officers and soldiers forgot about their fatigue and pain, and volunteered one after another, and they were all full of fighting spirit.
No one in the army wants to make achievements, not only for promotion but also for rewards. Today Ding Kui's performance is obvious to all. The cavalry he brought out all have military exploits. Who is not jealous!
Five thousand soldiers and horses had finished resting and lined up in the school field to wait for military orders.
"Let's go!" Ding Kui didn't even bother to mobilize before the war.
…
At the headquarters of the 22nd Army, Jin Man was reading the battle reports while having breakfast.
"Huh?" He swallowed the food in his mouth, "When was this delivered?"
He held up a battle report.
The staff officer next to him quickly replied: "It was delivered before dawn."
"Why didn't you wake me up?" He had a mixture of emotions and anger on his face.
The staff officer said with a grimace: "Sir, this is not an urgent battle report but good news. I will handle it as a normal battle report. I don't dare to disturb your rest."
"Confused! You almost ruined the military situation, you know!"
Jin Man stood up, strode to the case, and wrote urgently.
"In the future, any news about counterinsurgency generals, whether urgent or not, must be submitted to me as soon as possible."
"Report!" A staff officer hurriedly ran into the tent, "There is an urgent military situation in Zhennancheng."
Jin Man put down his pen, took the scroll, unfolded it, and read softly: "This is the general who counter-rebellion... It is initially determined that it is... a drug that stimulates the human body's potential. Special summons to all ministries..."
"So that's it!" He put away the scroll, "The rebels actually wanted to use drugs to consume our troops, but General Ding defeated them with force. There are not many troops on the front line who have such conditions."
The battle report that moved him was that the Yangtougou military camp defeated the invading enemy, Ding Kui led his troops to support the nearby friendly forces, and the military situation in Zhennancheng was the result of the pills analyzed by the magicians of the Yangtougou military camp overnight.
The Zhennan City Demon Branch has not yet received the pills, but based on reports from frontline magicians, it still issued a theater-wide warning.
There is no precedent in the history of the Shaodian National Army for using drugs to fight a war. The Zhongwangzhou Theater Command did not dare to neglect and made this a priority for military affairs.
"Report!" Another staff officer came over, "Urgent report from Qingda City in Changyi County. The counter-rebellion general has led his troops to come to the rescue and is fighting a fierce battle with the enemy's forbidden magician."
Qingda City in Changyi County is located to the north of Yangtougou, more than a hundred miles away. It is an important garrison area and is garrisoned by the 213th Division of the 22nd Army.
"The general is advancing so quickly!"
Jin Man casually crumpled the half-written order into a ball and walked to the war zone map.
"In one night, I traveled more than a hundred miles across a stronghold."
"When did the enemy forces in Qingda City arrive with the forbidden magician?"
No one could answer his question.
"Yes, the rebels were not slow to respond to the defeated army who attacked the Yangtougou military camp." Jin Man asked and answered himself.
"I'm afraid the general won't be able to get up soon, and Qingda City will become the place of decisive battle."?
