After leaving the Magicians Guild, Ding Kui found a deserted place, changed his appearance and height, transformed into a knight, and stayed at an inn near the Knights Guild in Qiumu City.

Instead of visiting the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Qiumu City, he rented a training room at the Knights Guild and planned to break through to the Shield-Breaking Knight before entering the Hengduan Mountains.

The Meng warship fell into Zhang Xun's trick and docked north of Juyang City. Meng's troops did not rush to surround Juyang City. As Zhang Xun expected, they sent several fast horses straight to the west.
Since the Meng army was not in a hurry to attack the city, Zhang Xun was not polite and sent scouts to closely monitor the Meng army's movements until another group of warships boarded the south of Juyang City.
At this time, Qi Nan had already led the people deep into the swamp. In addition, the Meng army did not expect this, so the fleeing team was not pursued.
Seeing more and more Meng troops boarding the beach, Zhang Xun frowned, "The second battalion canceled the night attack plan. Now more than 20,000 enemy troops have boarded the beach. The fleets are still docking. Look at their
The flags all belong to the same legion, and the enemy does not just want to capture the Giant Sheep City."
Zhang Xun's guess was not wrong. The Meng Army's landing lasted until late at night. A whole legion of troops came ashore. The troops who came ashore in the early stage built a large camp around Juyang City. It seemed that the posture was not a temporary military camp.
During this period, an archer shot a letter up to the city tower, and the envelope was marked to be handed over to the city leader Xun. This was a letter to persuade Zhang Xun to surrender, informing Zhang Xun that he was facing the Third Army of the Mongolian Kingdom, and that the 100,000 elite soldiers were not just a few in the city.
Thousands of defenders can resist, so opening the city gates as soon as possible and surrendering is the right choice.
After Zhang Xun read it, he tore the letter into pieces and said, "Huh, Shaodian Kingdom only has city lords who died in battle and no city lords who surrendered. Although I, Zhang Xun, am not talented, I cannot bear the responsibility of abandoning the city and the land. As long as I have one breath left, I will never let it go."
The Meng army has only taken half a step into Giant Sheep City."
He selected 3,000 young men in the city and barely managed to gather 5,000 defenders. There was a large group of guards on each of the four walls, and another 1,000 people as a reserve group.
The Meng ** team did not organize an siege overnight, but only sent archers to shoot rockets on the city from time to time. It can be seen that the commander-in-chief of Meng was a very experienced man. On the one hand, he used the numerical advantage to consume the defenders' physical strength, and on the other hand, they prevented the defenders from leaving the city to attack
.
The battle situation at Chunlu Bay was very unfavorable to Shaodian Kingdom. Meng Kingdom seemed to have mobilized all the naval forces on the Tongyuan River. There were more than 500 large warships alone, and many more medium-sized warships.
The overwhelming rockets were fired at the water stronghold, and the defenders of the Shaodian Kingdom were so overwhelmed that they could not lift their heads. If they had not been repairing the fortifications recently, the black water stronghold would have been breached before dawn.
On the way to Chunlu Bay Water Village, the 120th Division received news that smoke was lit in Juyang City. Jian Wen had to detach two thousand men to Chunlu River Ferry to prevent the enemy from getting behind him.
After dark, the 120th Division rushed to Chunlu Bay Water Village. When Jian Wen saw the river with flames soaring into the sky, he lost his voice and said: "Oops, the main force of the Meng Kingdom is here. He immediately summoned the commander of the regiment, and the main force of the Meng Kingdom wanted to occupy Nanqiu County.
Please ask the legion to send troops to support us."
Han Chu said with a stern face: "I'm afraid Captain Yan Xun guessed it right. The Meng army concentrated its navy to attack here. Enemy troops also appeared in Juyang City. They want to take over Nanqiu County.
Meng Guo knew that the Eighth Army Corps would come to Nanma Prefecture, and together with the three legions stationed in Nanma Prefecture, they would have to use at least four legions before they dared to attack us.
Now all the pressure is on our side. It will take three days for the legion to react and send people to support. Can we hold on for three days?"
"Three days?" Jian Wen laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's good if we can withstand one day. No matter what, we must buy time for the friendly forces. Even if we all die here, we must defend the Chunlu Bay Water Village!"
The Meng navy did not stop attacking. All warships took turns to go into battle, and the suicide fireships continued to charge. Even with an additional 7,000 men from the 120th Division, Chunlu Bay Water Village was still struggling to defend, and the number of casualties continued to rise.
, it is probably difficult to hold on for a whole day.
It was not until dawn the next day that fog began to form on the river. The Meng navy suspended its offensive, and the defenders in Chunlu Bay Water Village breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Wen found Han Chu, took out a command arrow and said: "Consultant Han, you lead the first and second brigades to retreat to Nanqiu County. We can't defend here for long. The water village can be lost, but the county town cannot be lost. You let Chun
The defenders at the Dew River Ferry also retreated to the county town after dark today. Once the Meng navy sails into the Chunlu River, the ferry will be unsafe to defend."
"Master division commander, what about you? It's better that you go back and defend the county, while my subordinates stay here." Han Chu was unwilling to take the order arrow.
"This is a military order! The Twelfth Army has no general to retreat. I can't be the first!" Jian Wen stared.
Han Chu had no choice but to take the token obediently and left Chunlu Bay Water Village with the first and second teams in tears.
When the Tongyuan River fogged up, Juyang City was not so lucky. At dawn, it was attacked by Meng's troops. Zhang Xun fought bloody battles at the top of the city with a spear. He broke three spears in one morning, and the armor on his body was all damaged.
It was filled with the enemy's blood. If it weren't for his profound fighting spirit cultivation and the fighting spirit armor protecting his body had never been broken, otherwise he would have been injured in many places.
The small city of Giant Sheep burst out with tenacious fighting spirit. The Third Mongolian Army attacked for a whole morning, losing more than a thousand men and destroying countless siege equipment, but still could not capture this small city garrisoned by only 5,000 people.
At noon, the Meng army made a truce to make food. Instead of continuing to attack the city, they divided their troops to go west and north. Juyang City was surrounded by military camps. The Meng army had no urgent need to capture the city. They had plenty of time to fight with the defenders.
Consumption.
Zhang Xun came to inspect the South City Tower and expressed condolences to every defender on the city wall.
At this time, black smoke billowed out from behind the military camp outside the city, followed by the sound of fighting. Zhang Xun looked over intently and was sure that someone was attacking Meng Jun from behind. He immediately ordered, "Gather the reserve team and follow me to fight out of the city."
.”
All the war horses in the city gathered together and asked Zhang Xun to organize a cavalry brigade, rush out of the south city gate, and charge directly towards Meng's camp.
The commander-in-chief of the Meng Army did not expect that Zhang Xun would dare to rush out in broad daylight, nor did he expect that an ambush army would emerge from the large swamp to the south. In the panic of the southern military camp, Zhang Xun actually allowed Zhang Xun to break through the camp and meet the troops coming from outside.
force.
This force that appeared from behind the Meng army was Qi Nan's city defense force escorting the people. After sending the people into the secret passage in the swamp, he led 800 people back to Juyang City. These 800 people had been ambushing behind the military camp in the morning.
It was not until noon that the Meng army relaxed, so Qi Nan immediately ordered an attack.
Qi Nan rushed to the front. When he saw Zhang Xun and his troops rushing over, he shouted loudly: "Master Zhang, I'll come back and pull you!"
"Hey, Commander Qi, I really have you. This fighter plane is very good!" Zhang Xun stabbed three spears in succession and forced back a magician flying in the air. "Let's go, we will kill for a while."
The two groups of troops joined forces and continued to charge at Meng's camp. They also specially selected areas with many people to attack. The Meng magicians who came to support did not dare to cast large-scale magic for fear of accidentally injuring one of their own people.
When the commander-in-chief of the Meng army came to his senses and sent troops to support the southern military camp, Zhang Xun saw that the situation was wrong and was not greedy for credit, so he quickly led his men back to Juyang City.
After Zhang Xun and Qi Nan's attack, most of the southern military camp was destroyed, and more than 3,000 people were killed or injured, which was more than the losses during the entire morning siege. The morale of the soldiers and civilians in Juyang City was greatly boosted, and their determination to defend the city was extremely firm.
Just when Zhang Xun attacked Meng's camp, the Chunlu Bay water stronghold finally could not withstand the fierce attack of the Meng navy. The water stronghold fell. The commander of the water stronghold and Jian Wen, the commander of the 120th Division, were killed. A total of 15,000 people were killed.
No one was captured.
At the same time, Tuofeng Mountain Pass and Chunlu River Ferry were attacked by the Meng army.
The 10th Battalion of the 120 Division has stationed at the Tuofeng Mountain Pass. Captain Yan Xun took over the command of the pass. In addition to the original 3,000 defenders of the pass, a total of 4,000 people defended this important military location in Nanqiu County.
Yan Xun stood on the wall of the pass, looking at the enemy troops who were neatly arranged and advancing towards the pass, and said disdainfully: "Humph, even two divisions dare to attack here. You must be underestimating me, Mr. Yan.
"
News of the fierce fighting in Nanqiu County reached Zhenjing City, and the commander-in-chief held an emergency meeting.
Wang Deng, deputy commander-in-chief of the General Staff, said: "This time the Meng State's attack was not in the places we had previously expected, but in Nanqiu County, which is closest to them. The General Staff believes that the Meng State wants to use Nanqiu County as a stronghold and gradually encroach on Nanmarsh."
Other cities and counties in the state.
To achieve such a strategic goal, a large number of troops are needed to land on 6. They must be sure to surpass our country in terms of military strength. It is difficult to achieve this with the strength of the Meng Kingdom. From this, it can be inferred that at least the Cao Kingdom will send troops to Nanzhao Prefecture.
At present, it will take a month for the Eighth Army to arrive at the war zone. The two local armies from Linhai Prefecture have not yet arrived at Zhenna City. In a short period of time, our military strength in Nanzhao Prefecture is weak. The Eleventh and Twelfth Army should be strictly ordered to stick to the strategy.
At the strategic point, wait for reinforcements to arrive.
He suggested that the 15th Army Corps of Shanyuan Prefecture should go south to Hexi Prefecture to take over the defense area of the 4th Army Corps, the 4th Army Corps should go south to Yangyuan Prefecture to take over the 14th Army Corps' defense area, and the 14th Army Corps should go south to Nanzhou Prefecture to block the Meng Army's offensive route.
Zhongwang Prefecture formed a legion on the spot and rushed to the Nanzhao Prefecture war zone as soon as possible; the local armies of Linhai Prefecture and Hailin Prefecture joined the march and must enter the war zone within half a month; the 17th legion of Zhuwang Prefecture was ready to prepare.
Be ready to go to Hexi Prefecture at any time to take over the defense area of the Third Army."
"Have you informed Commander Jiang of your thoughts?" Shao Dianzhang asked.
"Not yet." Wang Deng replied.
"Does anyone else have any objections?" Shaodian Zhang looked around at the other commanders.
"Vice Commander Wang's suggestion is to mobilize six armies into Nanma Prefecture, which will put a lot of pressure on logistical supplies. I hope that the local governments of Zhongwang Prefecture and Nanma Prefecture can provide assistance." No one else had any objections, and the Logistics Department
Commander Xun Qi did not dare not say that supplying five legions at the same time was already the upper limit of his current manpower.
