Ding Kui looked up at Nan Wushuang and asked in surprise: "How did you know? That happened yesterday morning. Aren't you all on your way? How did you get the news?"
"It's really you. I am Nan Wushuang, captain of the new scout brigade of the 13th Division."
All the troops participating in the war must give priority to you when delivering news. Captain Ding's name is now known to everyone." Nan Wushuang rubbed his hands, wanting to get close to Ding Kui but was a little embarrassed. Regarding his military position, he
Taller than Ding Kui.
"Oh, it turned out to be the captain of the South Army. It was a coincidence that I fought in that battle. In addition, my subordinates sacrificed their lives, so Ding did not dare to take credit. By the way, where are the reinforcements from the Lindi Second Army?" Ding Kui learned from Xue Chong.
We know there are reinforcements, but we don't know which troops will come.
"We are almost there. The 19th and 20th Divisions of Lindi are about thirty miles away from here. We came here in advance to explore the way and guide them. Jill, you take a small team back and lead the large troops over; Duolan,
You lead three small teams to call the other brothers over." Nan Wushuang immediately sent people back to the main army and gathered his subordinates.
"There are two divisions, haha. The enemy troops near Guicheng can't escape this time. Come on, I'll take you to see Captain Xue and take a rest. You'll have to travel a lot this night."
Ding Kui took out his copper whistle and blew it a few times to notify the temporary camp that he was taking people there.
"Being able to fight side by side with Captain Ding is worth traveling for days and nights. Our scout brigade has no other abilities. We will definitely not lose to the enemy in terms of traveling." Nan Wushuang did not brag, his men were quite capable of running.
, I have been tracking the Meng Ninth Army Corps for several days and have never been abandoned by the enemy.
After returning to the camp, Xue Chong was very happy to learn that two divisions could arrive within an hour. He immediately ordered the squadron behind him who was preparing to harass the enemy to act more realistically, preferably to cause casualties to the enemy.
"Captain Xue, we still have more than 700 men in the scout brigade. They will be summoned in half an hour. Why don't you arrange a mission for us." Nan Wushuang learned about the harassment plan of the first brigade and actively asked to participate.
"You have been traveling all night, and there may be a day-long battle ahead. You will be physically overwhelmed."
.
"Captain Xue, they are professionals. We have to rely on them to destroy the enemy's traps. Let's concentrate our manpower and clear all the hidden sentries. Then Captain Nan can safely lead his people to clear the traps." Ding Kui thought that it would be most effective.
action plan.
"Captain Ding is right. Dealing with traps is our specialty. Leave it to our scout brigade. We will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. In order to avenge your dead comrades, it doesn't matter if you are tired, even if it costs a man's life
, I won’t even frown." Nan Wushuang thought of the battle he died in, and his attitude in asking for a fight was very firm.
"Okay, the 6th and 7th squadrons will be out in half an hour. Be sure to clear out all the hidden sentries outside the enemy's camp. Captain Nan, get ready. They will be out in an hour. Please clear out the enemy's traps before the main force attacks.
Trap." Considering the subsequent encirclement and annihilation battle, Xue Chong decided to dispatch the scout brigade, which would make it easier for the main force to launch a surprise attack and reduce the enemy's reaction time.
Nan Wushuang did not brag. His subordinates gathered at the temporary camp within half an hour. The seven-hundred-person scout brigade was only three squadrons less than Xue Chong.
The captain of the third brigade, who was commanding the Meng Army, was very annoyed. The proportion of their opponents with level 4 combat power was surprisingly high. Every time they came to harass at least five or six shield-breaking knights, the secret sentry he sent out was no match for them at all.
When the camp organized a force to rush out, all the cunning Shaodian soldiers escaped again.
After observing that the people who came to harass were all from the same brigade, the Meng Army commander weighed again and again and believed that the Shaodian Army was using a strategy to weaken the army. He felt that there was no need to harass them at night, so he decided to put away all hidden sentries and strengthen patrols in the camp.
, as long as the camp is not attacked, the Shaodian Army will be allowed to wander around the perimeter.
In the camp of the first brigade, Ao Yu and Ding Kui stood up almost at the same time and looked northwest together. Dots of fire appeared in the dark distance.
The dancing firelight in the dark night seemed to be multiplying rapidly. It had not stopped increasing since the first handful appeared. It kept flashing out of the darkness and spreading towards the Shaodian Army's camp.
"They are well-trained, not much worse than the regular army." Xue Chong sighed in Ding Kui's ear, "Look, each of their squadrons only lights one torch to illuminate the road, and some only use oil lamps, which can reduce the upward light.
It can reduce the risk of being discovered by the enemy; the movement speed of those firelights is basically the same, which means that they can maintain the same marching speed in low light conditions; the key is, did you hear the sound? This shows that they are very disciplined.
Strong, everyone is strictly controlling their actions."
"Well, Nan Wushuang sent the scouts who went back to pick up the main force." Ding Kui found Ji'er who had gone back to contact the main force. At that time, Ji'er entered Ding Kui's mental detection range.
Ao Yu was different. What he found was the main force. The energy fluctuations caused by the 20,000-strong force alerted him. It was a force that could threaten his life.
Also coming with Jill was an officer wearing fine armor.
"I am Baifeng, captain of the first brigade of the 19th Lindi Division. Who is captain Xue Chongxue?" the officer asked first without waiting for Jill's introduction.
"I am Xue Chong, captain of the first brigade of the 201st Division. I welcome Captain Bai to work tirelessly to support our unit." Xue Chong and Baifeng exchanged military salutes.
"Captain Xue, could you please take me to the enemy's camp to observe? Commander Miao ordered us not to pick him up. He asked us to make an attack plan as soon as possible to prevent the enemy from noticing the arrival of the army and to compress the enemy as much as possible.
Army’s reaction time.” Baifeng asked.
"No problem, I'll take Captain Bai over right now. Ding Kui, go greet the two division leaders for me." Xue Chong didn't dare to neglect.
When someone with a higher military rank comes, Xue Chong has to hand over the command. According to the rules, he has to greet him in person. However, the commander has other arrangements and has to obey orders. The first leader is absent, and Ding Kui, who has become the second in command, has to shoulder the responsibility.
This is the respect that subordinates have for their superiors, and it is a common rule in the military.
There are very few deputy positions in Shaodianguo's army, such as deputy regiment commander, deputy division commander, deputy captain, etc. The purpose is to create a competitive atmosphere for lower-level officers. Whoever performs well will be assigned by the regular commander
It is a substantive deputy position, but it is not necessarily fixed to a certain one.
