"Oh, have the reinforcements arrived at the base camp? Two cavalry brigades were sent out so quickly to assist me. ????bi quge w w?w?. "The news that followed was beyond Fan Yi's expectation.
"The base camp didn't say much, and my subordinates don't know much either." The army staff officer couldn't tell much from the magic transmission.
"Well, the two thousand cavalry here are no worse than an infantry division. They can at least catch up with the Meng Ninth Army. Having them is better than nothing." Fan Yi was immediately relieved. Even if reinforcements came, they would not be sent to the southern theater.
Fifty kilometers away, Hong Jin was also asking his staff about the military situation.
"Haven't the enemy's local army in the back divided their forces and advanced yet?" Hong Jin asked.
"No, they have been cautious. They determined the direction of the main force of our army before pressing forward with the whole army." the staff officer replied.
"Can't you remove those tails?" Hong Jin was a little annoyed.
"Come back to the commander, this is enemy territory. Enemy scouts can hide everywhere. Unless we stop and conduct a blanket search, it will be difficult to clear them out." The staff officer looked troubled.
"Hey," Hong Jin, who had been wandering around Huashan County for a few days, finally sighed, "Coach Helian is so good! Send more troops to expel enemy scouts, and try to drive them away from the main force of our army. Today
In the evening, we will move closer to the border of Tunchang County, and we must find a way to get rid of the pursuing troops behind us for a day."
The first brigade of the 2o1 Division rushed to Huashan County City, and Xue Chong took Ding Kui and Ao Yu into the city to inquire about the news.
"The Ninth Meng Army Corps is circling at the border between Huashan County and Tunchang County. What on earth do the enemy troops want to do?" Ding Kui pieced together the marching route of the Meng Ninth Army Corps.
"The enemy has no follow-up troops. They only have one legion that goes deep in alone. Even the Huashan County Knights Guild can't figure out what their purpose is." Xue Chong didn't understand either.
"So many people don't understand the enemy's purpose. Could it be that they have no purpose at all?" Ding Kui put forward a very bold hypothesis.
Xue Chong was not good at tactics and strategies, and was used to listening to arrangements from above and analysis from others, so he said to Ding Kui: "What do you think? Your family has been in charge of the general staff for thousands of years, so you will always leave some unique skills."
"Folk rumors are really harmful. What the Ding family left behind is basically the ability to manage people. There are many military books and classics, but there is no such thing as special skills." Ding Kui secretly complained in his heart.
He used his fingers to draw circles on the route of Meng's 9th Army. Various military books he had read kept flashing through his mind, but he followed the assumption just now and said: "If they don't have a purpose, they can go wherever they want. As long as
If they don't take the initiative to go to a dead end, there are many routes they can choose."
"Where is the dead end?" Xue Chong asked casually.
"Dead end, wait, they are always dead ends wherever they go, they are looking for a way to survive." Ding Kui caught a glimpse of inspiration in his mind, "Their way to survive is to retreat to Xiaxuan Pass or go in the direction where there is someone to support them.
The Meng Ninth Army Corps has penetrated deep into Huashan County. To meet the enemy, they need to break through many obstacles. It is impossible to find someone to meet them. Then the only way left is to retreat to Xiaxuan Pass. The Lindi Second Army Corps has been chasing them.
, blocking most of the direction to the southeast, they must find a way to bypass the Second Lindi Army.
They brought this trick to the border of Tunchang County, but they didn't know that the first part of the 20th Army Corps was coming from Tunchang County. In the end, they would definitely have to run northeast for a while, then turn to the southeast and flee."
"It's possible. Let's go to the Wanggui City area. If they want to turn around, they must pass through Wanggui City." Xue Chong didn't consider the strategic deployment of troops at all. He just stared at the enemy's marching route and followed Ding Kui.
It's the same as talking on paper.
"Captain Yingming, let's try our luck at Wanggui City." Ding Kui didn't know anything about the layout of the entire war zone, so he felt that Meng's Ninth Army Corps needed to escape, and they should flee back wherever they came from.
When the two men were discussing, they did not know that the northern war zone was undergoing drastic changes.
Cao Qi's coalition troops marched out from the three northern passes. As Jiang Zhi expected, only one legion was left to guard the pass, and five legions were dispatched to attack. In just one day, they broke through the three pass-blocking camps of the Shaodian Army.
Because the Shaodian Army had been well prepared and quickly retreated when the momentum was not right, the Eleventh Army Corps and the Kong Family Army sent multiple reinforcements to bring back the three divisions guarding the pass, so there was no major loss in strength.
There was also a big move at Junqiguan. He Lianyu's commanding flag was raised on the city tower. Meng's 7th Army sent two divisions to storm Yu Zhong's barracks. There was also a forbidden magician in the sky leading a magician group to help.
Fortunately, the magicians of the Eighth Legion arrived in time. Under their protection, Yu Zhong slowly retreated and led the 75th Division back to the blocking camp.
The Meng Seventh Army did not take advantage of the opportunity to pursue, but seized the Shaodian Army Camp to cover the troops that were subsequently deployed out of Junqiguan. Before dark, 50,000 people were deployed in front of the pass, and the forwards of the Meng Seventh Army slowly approached the Shaodian Army.
Block the Pass Camp.

Shaodian Army Headquarters.
A staff officer quickly walked into the headquarters with the latest information, came to Jiang Xi and reported: "Report to the commander, Meng's 13th Army Corps sent troops out of Dougou Pass to launch an attack on the Duguan Camp tomorrow morning."
"She finally took action." Jiang Zhi stood next to Jiang Xi, "The enemy is not sure where our main force is, and plans to attack together with the two main armies at Junqiguan and Dougou tomorrow morning."
"She used the Ninth Army to find out our reality. She is so generous, so steady, and Commander Helian has such a fickle style." Jiang Xi rarely called Helianyu by his full name, "Let Nan
The Maozhou Magician Group went to assist Di Tanglong and asked the 12th Army Corps to defend the Dougou Pass Camp; let the Haitian 1st Corps move closer to the Bianfeng Pass Camp to prevent the enemy troops from rushing out from the Bianfeng Pass.
Although it’s difficult to deploy troops there, it’s better to be careful.”
"Should we let the Eighth Army carry the troops at Junqiguan?" Jiang Zhi was a little reluctant. In his opinion, it would be better to let other legions replace the Eighth Army.
"We can only let them carry it. The enemy's new legion has not shown up yet, and it should be behind Junqiguan." Jiang Xi was very sure.

Xue Chong led the first brigade on the road all night and did not arrive at Wanggui City until noon the next day.
To the west of Wanggui City is an undulating hilly area, and to the east is a plain. As long as you go around the north of the city, there is a flat river to the southeast.
The first brigade of the 2o1 Division set up camp in the hills west of the city. Xue Chong took all the squadron leaders and ran around to the north of the city.
After returning to the camp, a military meeting was held immediately. "In the next three days, we will send a team to patrol from the north to the west of the city. The Meng Ninth Army will definitely pass in this direction." Xue Chong first determined the task.
The squadron leaders, except Ding Kui, all looked at each other in confusion. No one knew why the Meng Ninth Army Corps had to pass through here, and they had to stay in such a small town with divided terrain for three days.
