Gu Zhuangdian circled around Ding Kui and asked, "Why do I feel that you are a little different?"
"Well, President, when I supported Tianmen Town last time, I was actually already at the mid-term level of a wand-wielding magician, but I didn't study enough magic, so I only applied for the early stage when I signed up.
I happened to have reached the late stage of my breakthrough two days ago, so I decided to go back to the guild and try to stabilize my cultivation." Ding Kui mentioned the breakthrough in his magical power, which happened to cover up the truth about his breakthrough in his fighting spirit.
"No matter what your teacher's level is, at least he has a very good vision. Your qualifications are considered to be above average in the kingdom. You hope to be promoted to a tower opening magician before you are thirty years old. Maybe you can really become a forbidden magician in the future.
"That's a state that even President Gu has not reached. I only dare to think about it, and I don't expect to be able to do it." Ding Kui started to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf.
"I missed the best opportunity to make a breakthrough, which is different from your situation. No, you stay in the guild and don't go anywhere these days. I will formulate a magic practice plan for you, and I will personally help you stabilize your cultivation.
"Gu Zhuangdian seemed to have suddenly found the goal of his struggle, and he became excited.
Ding Kui is in need of guidance in magic. He has entered the later stage of wand-wielding magician. How can he accumulate the breakthrough to become a tower-opening magician? Taishu Gong's magic notes have recorded this problem, but it is far from detailed. He can take the opportunity to ask Gu Zhuangdian for advice.
.
"Are you the air or fire type?" Gu Zhuangdian asked again.
"Well, the teacher asked me to cultivate both the air and fire elements." Ding Kui was not lying about this. The magic inheritance left by Taishu Gong was to cultivate both air and fire.
"Oh? Your teacher is not an ordinary person. He actually knows how to practice both magic arts. This is the road directly to the God of Magic. It seems that I don't have to ask Master Rong to accept you as his disciple. I will be responsible for the fire magic training.
, As for the Qi system, you can go to Tianmen Town to read more books when you have time." Gu Zhuangdian looked at Ding Kui's teacher with admiration.
It is easier to advance if you specialize in one line of magic before opening a tower magician. Magicians with low qualifications basically take this path. It will be much slower to advance in the early stage if you specialize in two main lines of magic, but it will be easier to break through the bottleneck later.
Only talented disciples with high-level inheritance will take this path.
Judging from the fact that Ding Kui is a master of both Qi and Fire, his teacher is at least a taboo magician, and maybe an elemental magician. Gu Zhuangdian originally didn't want to bury Ding Kui's good qualifications, so he asked for the honor to accept Ding.
Kui taught me personally, but now I realize that my ideas are a bit redundant.
It is for this reason that Gu Zhuangdian demanded Ding Kui's magic practice more strictly and never allowed Ding Kui to waste time on physical training. For this reason, he even tolerated some of Ding Kui's bad habits.
Ding Kui's biggest bad habit when casting magic is that he likes to raise his hands high.
Every magician may have his or her own minor problems, which can be tolerated as long as they do not affect magic casting. The explanation given by Ding Kui was that it would allow him to concentrate more mentally, and Gu Zhuangdian did not force him to put his hands back.
Chest.
Raising your hands in the air may have a greater impact on other magicians, because it is easy to get tired, and it is impossible to raise your hands in the end of a battle; but Ding Kui is an exception. This strong magician can raise his hands in the air for a whole day.
Not tired.
In fact, Ding Kui was feeling miserable. He would be lying if he said he wasn't tired at all. His magic output was at the top of his head. In order to hide it from Gu Zhuangdian, he had no choice but to do this. Anyway, he could exercise his arm strength by the way.
While Ding Kui was practicing magic hard, there were fierce battles on the battlefield in Nanzhao Prefecture.
The most tragic figure since the beginning of the war is none other than Didang Long. Recently, he made a correct decision, but inevitably suffered a bad reputation.
Since the last three cities in Nanqiu County were in difficult terrain and had sufficient defenders, Meng Guo transferred the main force to attack Yanling County; Jinping County was supported by more than one legion of troops. Cao Guo's army did not attack by force, but also sent more troops.
The troops headed south to Yanling County.
Di Tanglong's more than 50,000 people were about to be dumped. Fortunately, the news from Yanling County was not cut off. Di Tanglong was aware of the serious situation, so he had no choice but to organize troops to break out.
It's okay to break through, but who will break up the rear?
Even if the breakout was successful this time, losing Yanling County would still be a huge defeat for Di Tanglong. He wished he could lead his troops to cut off the rear and die on the battlefield.
Gu Huaiyu, the commander of the 119th Division, stood up and said, "Lord Commander, when you go to break up the retreat, who will command the main force? The ones who will be supporting us are the brothers of the 20th Legion. If you are not there after we leave, who will they listen to?
Yanling County is my defense area. Jian Wen died in the battle at Chunlu Bay Water Village. I cannot escape from my defense area and survive. This time I can only lead the army and break up the rear. Anyone who wants to compete with me will humiliate me."
After Gu Huaiyu said this, no one was embarrassed to compete with him for the job of sending someone to die. However, no one wanted to see their comrades die in vain, so Di Tanglong ordered a pair of fine armors to be given to the troops who had been cut off.
The defensive power of fine armor is no less than that of heavy armor, and its weight is much lighter. Generally, only officers at the level of captain can wear it. In addition, the personal guards of division commanders and legion commanders can wear it.
After plundering the Yanling County warehouse, all the divisions gathered together some more, and finally collected 5,000 fine armors for Gu Huaiyu, allowing him to lead 5,000 fine armor soldiers as the main force to break up the rear.
Di Tanglong led his troops to break out of the encirclement to the west. There were three divisions of the 20th Army Corps outside to respond. Behind them were 5,000 elite soldiers to block the pursuers. This strategic shift was very successful. In the end, 40,000 people escaped from the encirclement.
Gu Huaiyu led his troops and fought fiercely with the pursuers at the foot of Yanling Mountain for a whole day and night, leaving more than 200,000 pursuers unable to take a step forward.
He dispersed the five thousand fine armored soldiers into fifty small circular formations and entangled them with the pursuers, making it impossible for the enemy magicians to cast large-scale magic. There were also magicians in Shaodian Kingdom who were not afraid of death and took the initiative to stay alongside the fine armored soldiers.
The battle actually neutralized the enemy's magical power.
The desperate soldiers wearing fine armor beat the enemy to the point of howling like ghosts. If it weren't for the huge gap in strength, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Mongolian Army who was responsible for commanding the pursuing troops was not an ordinary person. He used attrition tactics to polish off a lot of soldiers.
Dian Guo's elite troops were cut off from the rear.
In the end, more than 5,000 people, starting from Gu Huaiyu and below, plus more than 20 magicians, were killed in the battle. The brutality of the battle shocked the past and present. It is said that the Shaodian soldiers did not have a complete armor on their bodies, and all the fine armor they wore was damaged.
beyond repair.
The commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army of the Meng Kingdom sighed: "If all Shaodian Kingdom's armies were like this, I would be the first to lead the troops to withdraw."
Di Tanglong's main force merged with the corresponding troops of the 20th Army. After counting, he saved more than 70,000 troops, but two division commanders under him had already died.
This large force that escaped from Yanling County retreated to Huashan County, and the entire Yanling County fell, becoming the first completely lost county in the Shaodian Kingdom.
On the Tongyuan River, which has attracted the attention of all parties, Hua Song led the remaining defeated soldiers to join the forward of the Eighth Army, and the main naval forces of Meng and Cao also approached.
The naval forces of the three water villages of Xijiang, Mao'erwan and Lianbakou, plus Hua Song's fleet, together were less than one-third of the main force of Meng and Cao's naval forces. Jiang Xi decided not to fight the enemy on the water.
Fighting, I chose the junction of Nanzhaozhou and Yangyuanzhou to board 6.
The Eighth Legion's landing in Nanmazhou greatly boosted the morale of the Fourteenth Legion. They rushed to Jinping County and joined the Eleventh Legion to fight Cao's army outside the county city, forcing Cao's army to retreat a hundred meters.
inside.
The First Army of the Central Plains marched smoothly, built a large camp behind the remaining three small cities in Nanqiu County, and sent troops to organize a small counterattack for the three cities, completely stabilizing this line of defense.
Lindi First Army and Lindi Second Army were only three days away from Huashan County. They chose to support Di Tanglong and block the main attack direction of the Meng and Cao coalition forces.
The Haitian First Army arrived at Nanjing City, the capital of Nanzhou Prefecture.
Nanzhao Prefecture Mu Shaodianxi went out of the city to greet the local legion from Hailin Prefecture. This was a rare courtesy from the local legion. Unlike Shao Dianjian from Zhongwang Prefecture, Shao Dianjian had the nature of supervising the army, and Shao Dianxi was
Welcome with a smile.
Since the war began, Shao Dianxi has never had a peaceful day. One of his two county guards was killed in battle and the other was captured. He is worried about the day when it will be his turn. If the enemy army reaches Nanjing City, everyone can run away.
Only Shao Dianxi cannot leave here, and Zhou Mu must live and die with Zhou Cheng.
These four local legions arrived a little late, but their arrival reversed the Shaodian Kingdom's military disadvantage in one fell swoop. Counting the Eighth Legion that had already reached 6, half of the Twentieth Legion that could not move, Nanzhao Prefecture's
There are more than 800,000 fighting soldiers on the earth.
Meng Guo conquered five legions, and Cao Guo conquered two legions. After all, they had 700,000 men. Taking into account various factors, the strength of the two sides was roughly equal.
Shao Dianxi finally no longer had to worry about the city being lost. Now it seemed that the possibility of Nanjing City being attacked was quite low. The Nanjing Branch began to feel confident sending high-level magicians to the war zone to support them.
The supreme commander of this war, Jiang Xiyi, came ashore and issued the first military order: ordering the naval forces of Shanyuan Prefecture and Hexi Prefecture to jointly sweep the borders of Qi State, and warning that Qi State's troops who dared to land in Lunanzhou Prefecture would surely lose control of Qi State's Jiangdong.
The state will never have peace.
The Eighth Army encountered the interception of Qi's navy on its way south of the Tongyuan River. Jiang Xi felt great strategic pressure. The three kingdoms of Meng, Cao, and Qi joined forces to make it very difficult for Shaodian to cope. They needed to mobilize troops far away from the war zone.
It can relieve the pressure on the frontal battlefield.
However, this time Qi Shao was determined to make things difficult for Shaodian Dan. He not only sent three legions to Jiangdong Prefecture, but also asked Qi Shuang to lead two legions to fight in Nanma Prefecture.
On the second day after Cao Jun was forced to retreat outside Jinping County, Qi Shuang's handsome flag appeared again outside Jinping County together with Cao Jun. The main forces of the Meng and Cao coalition forces in Yanling County were also on their way to Jinping County.
.
This suddenly created a situation where the three kingdoms of Meng, Cao, and Qi allied forces attacked Jinping County.
