The 5th and 6th Battalions of the Meng 84th Division stopped after they reached the hilly area. They only had 2,000 men. They might not be able to defeat Xue Chong's First Battalion in a real fight. They did not dare to come to this area where they could easily be ambushed.

Xue Chong took only Ding Kui and Ao Yu to a hill and secretly watched the movement of Meng Jun.
"Captain Xue, the enemy seems to be too timid to chase in. Do you want me to provoke them? To attract them to chase in." Ding Kui is very proficient in using the Eagle Eye Technique, and he is probably close to being promoted to "Eye of Insight".
"Not far away.
"It's too obvious for you to provoke them. They are not fools and will not be fooled. Wanggui City observed that there are two squadrons behind them to meet them. They should not risk entering the hilly area before they meet up." Xue
Mitsuru seized a monocular telescope from somewhere.
Although there are telescopes in this world, their output is very low. Only division commanders and above in the army are equipped with them. However, as long as they have the ability, even ordinary soldiers can capture the enemy's telescopes on the battlefield.
"Then the ambush location we set in advance is useless?" Ding Kui was unwilling to give in. He wanted to fight a few more battles, maybe he could open up the fighting spirit armor nodes on the front and back.
"Why are you anxious? The longer it takes now, the better it is for us. Let them wait here slowly. After dark, they will definitely camp in the hilly areas. Camping on the plains with cavalry on the side is asking for death." Xue
The main thing is to be stable. He only has a few people under his command, and one less person will die. He will not take the initiative to ask for a fight without being completely sure.
Pingzhong County has a large population, and there are also many scattered nobles in various towns. Although the overall strength is not as good as that of the Duke's County, the number of knights is quite large. Xue Chong's first battalion only has four squadrons that are not full of knights, regardless of
Both the knight ratio and the shield-breaking knight ratio are the highest in the 2o1 division. They are a veritable trump card in Zhang Jie's hand.
Xue Chong can actually countercharge the two Meng Army brigades once near Wanggui City. Even if it is one versus two, winning should not be a problem. However, after such a hard battle, the first brigades will have to withdraw from the battle order. After all, they are newly formed troops.
He could not bear too many casualties. Ding Kui dared to lead the First Squadron to attack more with less because he did not need to consider the orders issued by the base camp. Even if the First Squadron was completely exhausted, other squadrons would still complete the mission.
Different positions have different considerations. The order Xue Chong received was to "report the location of the enemy's main force, wait for an opportunity to eliminate part of the enemy's force, and cooperate with the Second Lindi Army and the First Division of the 20th Army to eliminate the main enemy force." The first two
The first item was completed, but there was still one last item left to do. He wanted to preserve his strength in order to participate in the final decisive battle to eliminate the enemy's main force.
Meng's Ninth Army Corps marched very fast. It took only a few dozen minutes for the Third and Fourth Battalions of Meng's 84th Division to arrive at the entrance to the hilly area. These two mixed infantry and cavalry brigades were only slightly slower than the cavalry.
Several Meng Army captains discussed for a while and decided to divide the four brigades into two armies, one cavalry brigade and one mixed brigade, and enter the hilly area one mile apart. They did not seek to catch up with Shaodian's army, but only sought to find Shaodian's army.
Traces of Dianjun.
Meng Jun's movements were exposed under the eyes of Ding Kui and others.
"What should we do? The enemy is very cautious and we have no chance to attack." Ding Kui asked.
"Okay, if you don't have a chance to make a move, just wait for the reinforcements to arrive. It won't be that easy to retreat once they come in. If you bite me, you'll have to bite off a few pieces of their meat." Xue Chong patted Ding Kui on the shoulder and spat out the weeds in his mouth, "
Go back and take them around in a circle."
The three of them quickly returned to the first squadron, and Xue Chong gave the order: "The ninth and tenth squadrons are responsible for killing the enemy scouts who are far away from the main force. The rest of the group will scare the enemy with me."
After entering the hills, the Meng army advanced steadily by following the tracks of the horses' hoofs. The two brigades never separated when moving together. When encountering higher terrain slopes or hills, they first sent out scouts to check and make sure there were no ambushes before moving on.
When they entered the hilly area for seven or eight miles, the scouts of the Meng Army began to be attacked and killed. The cavalry brigade of the Shaodian Army appeared on the high ground suitable for attacking the Meng Army from time to time, causing the marching speed of the Meng Army's front army to drop again and again.
, they didn’t dare to press against Shaodian’s army until the rear army came into their sight.
Xue Chong didn't really lead the charge. When he saw the enemy approaching, he ran deep into the hilly areas, sometimes to the west, sometimes to the south, sometimes to the north. In short, he walked in a direction away from Wanggui City.
When it got dark, the Meng army stopped pursuing and gathered four brigades to find a high ground to camp. At this time, they were already thirty miles away from Wanggui City.
The first brigade did not set up camp, but found a high ground with open surroundings to rest. The men did not take off their armor, but their horses took off their saddles. They used their horses to form a circle, and the men rested in place within the circle.
"Each of your squadrons must go around the enemy's camp, starting from the first squadron in order, and go to a squadron every hour, disturb the enemy, and then come back. You must not fight with them.
Reinforcements from the Second Lindi Army are arriving overnight and are expected to arrive here before dawn. We will join them then and eat the 4,000 people in front of us first, and then kill the Meng 84th Division at the foot of Wanggui City. Everyone, please work hard.
, stay up tonight and have a good sleep tomorrow in Wanggui City." Xue Chong personally explained the battle plan to the entire brigade.
It is normal for soldiers to not sleep for a few days after a war. From the time the first battalion of the 2o1 division was assembled to the present, except for Ding Kui's first squadron, which fought a less intense battle, the other troops
They have always been in good preparation for the battle. Now Xue Chong asked them to prepare for continuous battles. The whole army had no complaints at all, and there was no unhappy thought in their hearts.
"Haha, we are giving such preferential treatment to the First Squadron. We will be the first to go and the first to come back. We can also seize the time to get some sleep." Ding Kui was happy. Being first also has the advantage of being first. They consume the most physical energy.
But also gets the longest continuous rest period.
"You'd better hurry up and just show off. Don't let me cause chaos in the enemy camp." Xue Chong was a little worried that Ding Kui would become murderous. When he saw the opportunity, he couldn't help but ran into the enemy camp.
A massacre in the camp.
"That's right, junior brother, don't take all the work on yourself. You have to do it all, so what are we going to do? After you finish eating the meat, leave some soup for us to drink." Feng Liang was also afraid that Ding Kui would be in danger.
"Uh, Captain Xue, please rest assured, my subordinates will not dare to disobey military orders. Senior brother, please don't laugh at me. I still know the importance. This battle will completely wipe out the enemy. How dare I do anything random?" Ding Kui hurriedly said
To explain for myself, I thought: Why would I lead a hundred people into a camp of four thousand when I'm so good? Unless I can cast magic.
