"Lord City Lord, it's still a humble position in front of your subordinates, right?" Ding Kui could somewhat guess what City Lord Jiang was thinking, but he didn't want to get too involved in the Jiang family's affairs now.
"Haha, it's okay. Captain Ding is right. Let's settle the private relationship privately." City Lord Jiang insists on having a personal relationship with Ding Kui. "The military situation has changed a lot recently. You should pay more attention to it on the battlefield."
"Oh, sir, can you inform me of the military situation?" Ding Kui's ears twitched. They were only fighting at the level of a few divisions near Wanggui City, and they only accounted for a small part of the Huashan County battle situation. It would be very useful to know more about the military situation.
Big help.
"Well, I'll tell you this in detail when I get back." City Lord Jiang was very cautious and did not dare to reveal military information directly to Ding Kui on the street. He took the first squadron back to the City Lord's Mansion and arranged for servants to boil water for cooking, cleaning and feeding the war horses.
.
The soldiers could take off their armor, wash themselves, and eat hot meals and dishes, but they could not sleep.
Ding Kui followed City Lord Jiang to the study, taking Ao Yu with him alone.
"The Lindi 11th and 12th Divisions and the 196th, 197th, and 198th Divisions of the 20th Army overtook the main force of the Meng 9th Army twenty miles south of Kaiwu City, and implemented harassment and surprise tactics around the enemy. They relied on the mobility of the cavalry to fight with the enemy.
The stalemate is in the area between Kaiwu City and Wanggui City." City Lord Jiang first read a military report.
"Oh, the Lindi Second Army has formed a cavalry assault department, and now it can bite the Meng Ninth Army to death. With 50,000 cavalry, even if they want to send troops to stop the attack, there are not three to five divisions in the plain area.
It won't work. The main forces of the enemy and ours are probably going to have a fight." Ding Kui had a deep understanding of the use of cavalry and immediately understood Fan Yi's intention.
"This has just been delivered from Kaiwucheng. They received a message from Fan Yi, commander of the Lindi Second Army. The main force of the Lindi Second Army will be able to arrive at Kaiwu City before this evening. We hope that nearby cities can send auxiliaries.
Soldiers, can go to assist in the general attack on the Meng Ninth Army." City Lord Jiang picked up the latest military information on the table.
"At 19:00 in the evening, the 20th Division will be able to get here before noon. If they are lucky, they can defeat the main force of the Meng 84th Division in the evening, and the military camp built on the spot will be stuck on the retreat of the main force of the Meng 9th Army;
During a fierce battle, you can rush into the battlefield from the flank at any time and strike a decisive blow." Ding Kui could smell the smoke before the battle.
"The Ninth Meng Army is in a hurry to return to Xiaxuan Pass. We definitely don't want to get into any more entanglements. The battlefield will definitely continue to move to the southeast. The Wanggui City area will inevitably become one of the main battlefields. I think you and Lindi 19th Army will continue to move to the southeast."
, the 20th Division doesn’t have to go anywhere, just stay in Wanggui City, where we can at least collide with the enemy’s right wing, and then I can organize auxiliary troops to assist you in the battle.” Lord Jiang is also a knight, and is no stranger to leading troops in battles.
.
"If City Lord Jiang has this intention, you can tell General Miao, and I can introduce him on your behalf." Ding Kui did not claim to be a subordinate in private. This was the result of City Lord Jiang's repeated requests.
"Tsk, I am a local official. It is not easy to take the initiative to bring up military matters. It is the wish of all local city lords to hope that the army will stay in the local area. General Miao will think that I am doing this for the benefit of the city. Of course, this
There are factors, so it is more appropriate for the Crown Prince and General Miao to make suggestions.
If General Miao agrees and the prince takes the initiative to contact me, the matter will be finalized and everyone will be happy; if General Miao does not agree, he will not do anything to you who made the suggestion. The commander of an army should have the habit of listening to opinions from many sides." Jiang
The city lord didn't say anything clearly, what would Miao He dare to do to you Ding Kui?
"General Miao's mission is to annihilate the first part of the Meng Army and threaten the right wing of the Mongolian Army. Now he has surrounded and annihilated the four brigades of the 84th Division of the Meng Army, which can barely be regarded as annihilating the first part of the Meng Army; stationing in Wanggui City can also be regarded as threatening the right wing of the Mongolian Army.
, City Lord Jiang’s suggestion is quite satisfactory. Well, I’ll give it a try and mention it when reporting the situation to General Miao, but in the end it still depends on what General Miao wants.” Ding Kui thought about it for a while, felt that the matter was feasible, and agreed.
Got Lord Jiang.
Less than three hours after the First Squadron rested in Wanggui City, the forwards of the Lindi 20th Division rushed to Wanggui City. After learning the news of the main evacuation of the Meng 84th Division, they did not stop and headed towards the First Battalion.
The direction of pursuit was also pursued. Their mission was to join the enemy. Now that the enemy was gone, they had to catch up and find the enemy.
Ding Kui still had to lead his troops to wait for the main force in Wanggui City. He could not order the forwards of Lindi's 20th Division to send people to stay in place of the 1st Squadron.
Near noon, the main force of Lindi's 20th Division and part of the 19th Division rushed to Wanggui City.
"Run away? Sure enough, we still asked them to send the information out." Miao He looked a little helpless, "Are all the military information you said true?"
Ding Kui replied: "Chief Jiang showed the original military information to Beizhi, and Beizhi thought it was true!"
"The main force of the cavalry has engaged with the Meng Ninth Army Corps. The main force of the enemy army is seriously threatened, and they are worried that the main force of our army will catch up. They will probably fight and run at the same time. Well, the main force of the Meng 84th Division is not far from the main force of the enemy army. This
We probably won't be able to catch up this time. Brother Xuanyuan, what do you think?" Miao He said to Xuanyuan Feng.
"Even if we catch up, we still have to spend time attacking. The enemy's main force may appear at any time to provide reinforcements. When the time comes, it will be us who are caught off guard. Captain Ding's suggestion is a safe one." The change in the military situation also exceeded Xuanyuan Feng's expectations.
.
"Okay, then let the pursuing troops withdraw. We will camp twenty miles east of the city. That position will definitely block the enemy's retreat. Captain Ding went to talk to City Lord Jiang and asked them to send people and provide some supplies.
, to assist our troops in building the military camp. As for the auxiliary troops, we cannot use them for the time being. Let City Lord Jiang prepare them first and wait for the commander's military orders." Miao He quickly changed his previous plan without hesitation.
The Assault Department composed of the Second Lindi Corps and the Twentieth Corps Cavalry is good at mobile warfare and will certainly not forcefully engage in positional warfare with the Mongolian Army. After entangled with the main force of the Mongolian Army, it is difficult to accurately predict where the battlefield will unfold. Five divisions can form an attack group.
, and several attack groups can be separated. The flames of war must be igniting everywhere around the main force of the Meng Ninth Army, and fights will break out wherever there is a flaw.
Troops of both the enemy and ours may appear near Wanggui City at any time. It's good to see friendly troops and they can unite to fight. But it will be troublesome if enemy troops appear. Miao He is not an adventurous person, and the suggestions put forward by Ding Kui on behalf of City Lord Jiang are in line with the situation.
His idea, coupled with Ding Kui's own aura, he accepted it and gave Ding Kui a piece of advice.
However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and many things happen out of one's control. Plans are often subject to revision. Before Ding Kui left to carry out military orders, a scout came to him with news of fighting ahead.
