"Don't ask me why, it happened very suddenly. I also received a private message from my uncle on the way. I'm probably afraid that you don't know the seriousness of the matter, so you wanted me to mention it more." Min Chou said that he was also confused.
"An order! All war zones and troops across the country are strictly prohibited from participating in counter-insurgency battles. Magicians are not allowed to attack enemy magicians without permission. It is strictly forbidden to kill magicians who are not in combat status."
Liu Yu hurriedly walked out of the hall and personally arranged to convey Ding Kui's order.
Although the commander-in-chief will issue the highest order, as a counter-rebellion general, he must also give a reaction to show respect for Zhe Taixuan and Gui Jing.
"I just arranged a decisive battle with the rebels and ordered the Wu'an County Magic Guild to come to help in the battle. Now I asked them to withdraw. I'm a little embarrassed." Ding Kui always felt that the matter had something to do with him.
"You can't count on the magician, just go to the Knights Guild." Min Chou showed a helpless look, "Several of the forbidden magicians who originally came here have turned back, and I will persuade those who insist on coming back.
Don’t get me wrong! The Magic Association has granted me the position of military supervisor, which not only supervises you but also the rebels. Those who come from above will restrain us as well as them. No magician will attend your battle with the rebels in the future."
"That's it!" Ding Kui let out a long breath, "It's fair."
Although there are relatively few magicians in Zhixin Palace, it is troublesome to keep staring at him. Anyway, he was used to fighting without magicians in Nanzhao State.
"This is a challenge, but also an opportunity!" Liu Yu came back, "Our army is undoubtedly more experienced and more efficient in using magicians. The number and level of magicians are also larger and higher, but we are not well prepared for this battle.
The enemy is not necessarily at a disadvantage."
After receiving permission from Ding Kui's eyes, he continued: "Before this, the enemy must have formulated their tactics, but now they should make drastic adjustments, which means that the enemy's strategic advantage is decreasing."
"Field battles are divided into encounters and preset battlefields. Encounters test the commander's adaptability and the explosive power of the troops, while preset battlefields test the commander's comprehensive capabilities and the troops' resilience."
He took out a book from his pocket and said: "This is the "Outline of Field Warfare" compiled by all the instructors and lecturers in the military academy. It basically covers all field tactics and the most comprehensive analysis of current war situations."
Ding Kui's eyes shone brightly, he took the book and looked through it eagerly.
"Don't underestimate the rebels. They also have many warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. At least read through "Military History" and don't think about defeating them with a military book." Min Chou couldn't help pouring cold water on him.
With his age and experience, his understanding of the rebels was as good as those present.
"Military History is certainly a military classic, but I dare say that the military academy's research on new weapons and equipment is ahead of the entire Divine World." Liu Yu smiled faintly, confident.
"What? Did you bring a crossbow?" Ding Kui suddenly raised his head, "No, Chasing the Sun can't carry much."
"I didn't have time to report it. Before departure, I sent a message to Quan Sihai, asking him to take people to Weiguo County to escort a batch of ordnance to Wu'an County. Calculating the time, it should be delivered here in two days."
Liu Yu brings a huge surprise to Ding Kui!
"That's great!" Ding Kui walked up and down the hall excitedly, "You have to plan carefully to make this batch of ordnance play its greatest role."
He stopped suddenly, turned around, grabbed Liu Yu, and gave him a big hug.
"Mr. Liu is really clever. I didn't even know that I would come to Qingda City and make an appointment to fight with the rebels by mistake. How did you deduce it?"
A faint blush crept up Liu Yu's cheeks, and he said a little embarrassedly: "My lord, I have misunderstood. How can I have such great ability to deduce your specific whereabouts?"
"Ah?" Ding Kui was stunned.
"Mainly because of the location of Wu'an County, in the middle of Zhongwangzhou, the average distance to any place on the front line is the shortest. Moreover, your subordinates are well aware of your combat style and often sneak into the enemy's rear alone, thinking that they can arm an army to meet you at any time."
Liu Yu told the truth.
Min Chou patted his chest and whispered: "It scared me."
Even the Dharma God may not be able to deduce Ding Kui's specific whereabouts in advance. It would be really scary if Liu Yu could figure it out.
"Um, well, it's not important. The important thing is when will the batch of ordnance arrive? How many troops can it be equipped with?" Ding Kui patted Liu Yu's shoulder affectionately before returning to his seat.
Is it a misunderstanding? Just ignore it.
"Quan Sihai should have arrived at Wu'an County earlier than me, and should have received the news that you are here. It will only take two days to arrive. As for the quantity of ordnance, it depends on how much the Long family is willing to give, and my subordinates don't know for sure."
Liu Yu went to the Xinlong family and suggested that they contribute three months' output of the Weiguo County workshop. However, it was related to the interests of the family, so whether they were willing or not was a question.
If the war situation is urgent and Ding Kui orders a request, the Long family will definitely cooperate. It is just a staff's advance judgment. It really depends on the Long family's face.
"The Long family has been standing in the Shaodian Kingdom for thousands of years, and the head of the family will not spoil big things because of petty gains. Uncle Quan came to ask for weapons, which must be used to suppress the rebellion, and it was a rebellion in Wangzhou, which involved Long.
For the long-term interests of the family, there is no need to doubt the strategic vision of the Long family." Ding Kui knew the big family well.
"Uncle Quan retired from the 75th Division. He is used to treating tasks as military orders and will do everything possible to complete them. Besides, he has dealt with his father-in-law, and the people under the Long family can't give him a hard time." He also trusts him to do things.
people.
At that time, the Eighth Army Corps was stationed outside Zhenjing City, and generals at the level of division commanders often had the opportunity to go to the commander-in-chief's mansion. It was a trivial matter to go to Long Kun to ask for equipment.
"General." Someone came from outside the hall to report, "There is a person who claims to be a guard of the Marquis of the Protectorate, asking to see you."
"Here we come!" Liu Yu said with joy on his face, "Come down and take a look."
The guards of the Hou Mansion do not need the general to verify his identity in person. The premise is that Ding Kui has his own family with him. Today, Ao Yu, Liu Yu and the guards of the Hou Mansion arrived one after another and happened to be together. Ding Kui saved a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, he was a guard from the old house in Xiaxi Town.
"The commander-in-chief is escorting one hundred and forty-five large trucks on the way here. I am here to confirm whether the young master is really here. Please allow the young master to allow me to release the trust eagle immediately and send a message to the accompanying magician."
"Uncle Quan is so attentive! Mr. Liu, take him there. You don't have to rush to see me when you're done. Go have a good meal, freshen up and come back." Ding Kui had already obtained the information he wanted.
How much can be carried on one hundred and forty-five carts? A general commander might ask his staff, but he can immediately estimate the approximate quantity of the ordnance without having to do so.
"Can equip a division!"
Min Chou looked at the excited Ding Kui and wanted to pour cold water on him, saying: "Will the coming reinforcements use crossbows? Can they be used in actual combat? Your direct troops will not be able to come in the short term."
"You don't know this, don't tell me, you reminded me." Ding Kui turned to look at Ao Yu, "Brother, help me inform the special forces group to pack lightly and come quickly."
Min Chou looked at the lazy Ao Yu and said, "I'd better go."
