"It might have worked if we set up an ambush when we first came here. Now that we are familiar with these dozens of miles, we can't say who will ambush who.
q?u?g?e?.?c?n?" Ding Kui looked at his subordinates wearing uniform cavalry armor, "Send a few more squadrons? Can one brigade have the ability to retain us?"
"No!" Ba Xi shouted, raising his arms.
This bald man startled everyone around him. Seeing that he was the only one shouting, everyone was staring at him. Ba Xi embarrassedly touched the top of his barren head and tugged at his tight collar. His body shape
It's too big, and the newly made fine armor doesn't fit that well.
"Hahaha, that's good! Our Ba Xi can kill a small team alone, and a large team will also give us credit." Ding Kui smiled and helped Ba Xi to rescue him.
Ba Xi's military exploits in the First Squadron were not much less than those of Xu Yan, Ji Xing and other squad leaders. He followed Ding Kui closely and charged. The number of enemy soldiers killed by him was second only to Ding Kui. If Ding Kui hadn't killed him
If he defeats most officers, his military exploits will be more.
"Come out!" Ding Kui gave the order, and the first squadron ran out of the military camp on horseback along the exit passage guided by the officer on duty.
Among Xue Chong's subordinates, only the No. 1 Squadron is still intact. These 100 men lined up and ran to Xiaxuan Pass like a net.
After passing the middle line between Xiaxuan Pass and Duguan Camp, Ding Kui and the others lowered their horses. When passing through the woods and higher soil slopes, Ding Kui and Ao Yu had to observe for a while to confirm that no one was ambushing in the blind area before passing.
, because the probability of the Meng army appearing at this time increases, and a small-scale battle may break out at any time.
Not only did the first squadron leave camp, but the second and third squadrons followed them on their left and right flanks at a distance of about a mile, advancing towards the gate in a vertical formation.
"After passing the village in front, we will enter the ten-mile radius of Xiaxuan Pass. How come we didn't encounter any enemy troops along the way?" Ji Xing ran a few steps faster and stepped forward to discuss with Ding Kui.
Ding Kui turned to look at Ao Yu, who nodded to him, and then he said to Ji Xing: "Let's go to the village and rest for a while. I feel that something is not normal today. I may not know what will happen."
After the "Helian Jade Wall" was built, all the villages near the west side of the wall were abandoned, and all the aboriginal people moved into the cities where they belonged. Those with money and relatives moved to Nanzhao Prefecture6 to stay as far away from the battlefield as possible
, so no one lives in the village Ding Kui and others entered.
"It's a good thing I brought this stupid dragon with me, otherwise I would have lost at least seven or eight of my subordinates. The risky trip to get the fire jade was worth it. The people from my hometown are the most reliable partners on the battlefield." Ding Kui thought in his mind.
Can't help but sigh.
It's not a problem to hide a thousand or hundreds of people in a village. There are not many squadron leaders who can confirm that there is no ambush in such a short time like Ding Kui. Therefore, the No. 1 Squadron is the squadron with the easiest mission.
"No one was in this village last night, but we didn't leave the camp last night. Didn't the enemy even send out secret sentries?" Jin Yan searched the village carefully for safety reasons.
"Well, be careful. This place is so close to the Xiaxuan Pass. It stands to reason that we must have some spying, otherwise our army will suddenly attack and the enemy will have no warning time." Gao Xinghuai got to know Ding Kui quite well.
Now I will take the initiative to express my opinions.
"Yes, the garrison at Xiaxuan Pass will definitely not evacuate. There is no reason to leave such a huge security risk for themselves. Can they be 100% sure that our division will not attack Guanmen? Still firmly believe that the base camp will not send reinforcements
Are you here? It looks like a trap." Sun Lie also showed his positive attitude.
"What do you two think?" Ding Kui saw Ji Xing and Xu Yan approaching, showing their willingness to listen to the discussion.
Ji Xing was not polite and said first: "There is no place to station troops from here to Xiaxuan Pass. If there is a large army, we will find it soon. If there is an ambush, it can only be behind us, not in front."
"Haha, what is the enemy's purpose? Captain Ji didn't say it. I think the defenders behind the gate were busy with something and probably forgot about it for one night. In fact, we don't have to doubt so much." Xu Yan has a different view than everyone else.
.
"Why do so much research? It's just a short distance. We can charge to the pass in one go. We might as well just kill it and see. If we encounter a large army, we can run away." Professor Peng advocated the most direct solution.
"Haha, what Professor Peng said this time makes sense. We all came here to fight. We can't run back and say that we haven't seen any enemy troops, so we rush over. If that doesn't work, turn around and come back. I believe the enemy troops can't keep us.
." Ding Kui agreed with Professor Peng's opinion. He was too lazy to think about it. The current situation was beyond his experience and inheritance, so he simply chose to go straight.
After sending people to notify the two squadrons behind him, Ding Kui led his troops to leave the village. After setting foot on the road, ten cavalry formations lined up in a column and ran down to Xuan Pass.
The journey of ten miles took less than a cup of tea, and Ding Kui and the others actually rushed straight to the Xiaxuan Pass without any hindrance.
"No, the flag of the enemy guarding the gate has changed." Ding Kui did not dare to get too close to the gate and looked at the situation on the gate tower from a distance, "Where did Meng's Ninth Army Corps go? The one guarding the gate now is Meng Fourth.
The flag of the Legion."
"The Ninth Meng Corps withdrew? It's not surprising that they pulled it down to rest. They suffered heavy losses in Wanggui City, and all the legion's baggage was abandoned in Huashan County. They need to go to the rear to replenish it." Jin Yan was familiar with military books and analyzed them.
Get up and be clear-headed.
"No, that's bad! The Meng Ninth Army moved in a hurry, and they didn't switch defenses carefully with the Meng Fourth Army. Don't forget that they are good at night marches. If they had marched out yesterday afternoon, they would have been able to reach the edge by this time.
"Retreat! Go back and report to the division commander immediately." Ding Kui reacted very quickly. Based on the known clues and thinking of the disappearance of the main force of the Meng Army, he deduced that the Meng Ninth Army Corps might have gone to Bianfeng Pass to join the main force.
The first squadron ran back at a faster speed, startling the second and third squadrons behind them. They thought there was a large army coming out of Xiaxuan Pass and hurriedly followed them for a while.
"Are you sure?" Zhang Jie asked with a serious expression.
"My subordinates are 100% sure that the defenders of Xiaxuan Pass have been replaced by Meng's Fourth Army. From what we observed along the way, we can infer that Meng's Ninth Army most likely changed their defenses before dark yesterday." Ding Kui ran to the center in person.
Report from the military headquarters.
"It seems that the military orders from the headquarters are correct. The main force of the Meng army has really moved south." Liang Chong was also in the Chinese army's tent. He has the habit of studying and analyzing the military orders of the headquarters. "The Meng army needs to get the military orders in the shortest possible time."
The lower frontiers will seize the Duguan Camp and then storm Zhongwan City, occupying Zhongwan City before our leading troops arrive, and then use the Duguan Camp and Zhongwan City as horns to block the main force of our army with a small number of troops."
