"More than a hundred people fled back. I'm sorry they didn't dare to lie about the military situation. A troop of 500 people was defeated by a squadron of yours. The enemy will definitely send a large army next time."
q?u “The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Squadrons will return to camp immediately, and the others will continue to follow me to support the 4th and 5th Squadrons.” Xue Chong’s focus was on the scale of the enemy’s next attack.
Xue Chong's experience was indeed what a new army lacked the most. The defeat suffered by the Meng army's scouts alarmed Hong Jin.
"What? Another enemy with a new designation? One of their squadrons defeated five of your squadrons without any damage?" Hong Jin's horse whip almost hit the face of the commander of the 84th Division, "All your subordinates are
Are you kidding me? The entire Knight Squadron is indeed powerful, but you have to kill one or two for me. Damn it, you really disgrace the Ninth Legion."
The commander of the Eighty-Fourth Division, an arrogant man, now looked like a little girl, with a red face and lowered head, not daring to speak.
"The Eighty-fourth Division, go and find all the enemy's 201 Division for me. I want to know their exact number and exact location. If you encounter the main force of their division, you will follow me. Fight the Eighty-fourth Division."
Even if you are naked, you have to earn back your face for me. Even if you don't ask for annihilation of the enemy, you have to give me heavy damage to them!" Hong Jin was angry and anxious, and two new numbers appeared. This is for a fleeing legion.
Definitely not good news.
Meng's 84th Division was forced to put down all the looted property, and the entire army separated from the main right wing. Nearly ten thousand troops gathered to advance towards Wanggui City.
It didn't take Xue Chong long to get the 4th and 5th Squadrons back to the camp.
"Everyone put the extra equipment on the mules and horses and send them into the city. Ding Kui will smoothen the captured horses. If the horse is in bad condition, prepare an extra one. We must hide and seek with the enemy near Wanggui City and delay as much as possible.
According to the pace of the enemy's march, the Lindi Second Army Corps will rush to besiege the enemy as soon as possible after receiving the news." Xue Chong simply explained the tactical arrangements.
Wanggui City had passed on the information that Kaiwucheng and Ding Kui had encountered enemy troops, and Fan Yi received the news when Xue Chong was arranging tactics.
"Okay, great. The two reinforcement groups have captured the enemy. The 11th and 12th divisions, join forces with the 196th, 197th and 198th divisions. Follow me and capture the enemy's main force. You can let go
Run their cavalry, but other units must stay.
The 19th and 20th Divisions, you go out immediately and march overnight through the hilly areas directly into Wanggui City; the 14th Division escorts the supply camp, and the excess food can be left in the place, so I can move as fast as possible; the rest of the troops
Follow me and chase the enemy lightly, and you must catch up with Meng's Ninth Army before sunset tomorrow!" Fan Yi was about to give it a try this time.
Shaodian Army Base Camp.
"Why did Xue Chong's troops go to Wanggui City? General Hu Zi, he fought the first battle in Huashan County. He led one hundred new soldiers to annihilate 316 enemies without any damage, and the battle was a great victory. Report it, report it to the whole theater,
Give it to Gu Jun first." Jiang Xi's face was calm, but the veins on the back of his hand holding the information betrayed his inner excitement.
Sister, you are indeed the strongest in the Jiang family in everything, even your son is better than mine. I can’t suppress such a dazzling record, but since I can’t suppress it, let everyone know,
Your Jiang Ting's son is so outstanding that no one can stop his growth.
The first thing Jiang Xi thought of was his sister, Jiang Ting, who had overshadowed his two brothers since birth, and Mrs. Baozhu, who was so jealous of her beauty that she died young.
Now, no matter how stupid Staff Zhang was, he could still guess Ding Kui's identity, and stammered: "I, I, I'm subordinate, actually suggested that Ding, Prince Ding, take the risk to pursue Meng Di, the Ninth Army
.”
Jiang Zhi smiled slightly, patted Staff Officer Zhang on the shoulder, and said, "If it weren't for your suggestion, how could Captain Ding achieve this great contribution? I would say he should also thank you. Then Xue Chong is really good at using people, and he actually let Ding Zhong do this.
The captain went to inspect places where enemy troops might be present.
Haha, my cousin-in-law is extremely courageous and brave. He dared to challenge five times his own strength with new soldiers who had been trained for less than ten days. The information was simple, but you can imagine that this was a rout, zero to three.
A battle loss ratio of one hundred and sixteen is like killing chickens and slaughtering sheep on the battlefield."
"Yet, do you still want to thank me? I, my subordinates, can't bear the responsibility. The prince's bravery has nothing to do with me, but it has nothing to do with me." Staff Zhang was still sweating coldly. He referred to the commander's nephew and his boss's cousin-in-law.
Forcibly sent to the front line, you have to take great risks to complete military orders. If something goes wrong, you and your family don't know what will happen to you.
"Okay, the overall situation over there has been decided. I believe that the Lindi Second Army will soon be able to defeat the Meng Ninth Army. We have to consider how to use this force on the frontal battlefield." Jiang Xi did not want to discuss Ding Kui too much in front of everyone.
Let’s turn our attention back to the frontal battlefield.
Xue Chong returned to the battlefield of the First Squadron in the morning with one man and two horses, or even one man and three horses, to find out the enemy's next move.
The enemy would definitely not give up if hundreds of them were eaten like this. They would most likely fight back from where they were to look for Ding Kui and his troops.
Sure enough, when the sun began to set in the west, dust was flying in the direction of Kaiwucheng. A large number of enemy troops marched into the wilderness in dozens of directions. A general's flag with the word "Deng" suddenly appeared among the fluttering flags.
Only division commanders and above are equipped with general flags. A captain like Xue Chong is not worthy of displaying a flag with the surname "Xue".
"My dear, Ding Kui, you have provoked a big guy." Xue Chong opened his eyes wide, but there was no trace of panic on his face, "Go, take your No. 1 Squadron to show off and tell them who killed him.
Killed their scouts!"
"I have the order!" Ding Kui kicked the horse's belly and rushed away from the group first, raising his spear high and shouting: "Belong to the first squadron, follow me."
"Drive", "Drive", "Drive", the first squadron filed out.
"First Squadron!" Ding Kui shouted with anger.
"Elite!" the entire squadron responded in unison.
Ding Kui pointed his spear forward, clamped his legs together, and the horse started running wildly.
All members of the first squadron quickly followed up, and within 80 meters of running, the first squadron's riding formation was formed; within 150 meters, ten squadrons' riding formation was formed.
Deng Qianfei, commander of Meng's 84th Division, was so angry that a small squadron actually charged in front of him, "The Fifth and Sixth Brigades were surrounded from left to right, and I couldn't spare any of the enemies in front of me."
Run!"
Boom, boom, boom, the war drums of the Eighty-Fourth Division's Central Army were beating, and a large group of cavalry rushed out from each side on the left and right, moving towards Ding Kui's first squadron like two dragons heading out to sea.
When the distance between the two sides was about three miles, Ding Kui suddenly shouted: "Gather up your strength!"
"Charge!" "Charge!" "Charge!" The squad leaders on both wings also shouted.
