It has been less than five years since Cui Dun took office in Shapu City. Under his governance, the people here have been lifted out of poverty, and the problem of food and clothing has been solved for the last time. If he is given a few more years, Shapu City will become a relatively wealthy city in Huashan County.
The city. ? ? ? ? ? ? It’s a pity that his luck is so bad. In the past two years, war has broken out in the territory under his jurisdiction. The original situation of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich has been suddenly brought back to its original state. Today, the people in the city cannot even protect their homes.

"General Zhang, thank you very much for coming to help. There are five thousand young people here who have volunteered to stay and defend the city. I asked them to help your department build fortifications in the wild." Cui Dun, who is in his early forties, has many white hair on his temples.
Silk.
"With the great help of City Lord Lao Cui, how long will it take for Shapu City to transfer all the people?" Zhang Jie asked the key question without being polite.
"It was almost noon when I received the order to come from the base camp. Fortunately, the people in the city were mentally prepared and did not waste too much time packing their luggage. The residents in several streets near the west gate have been cleared. Now those nearby are evacuating the city.
People in villages and towns have taken refuge in the city. If they are moved overnight, it is estimated that all the people who are willing to leave can be evacuated before dawn tomorrow." Cui Dun behaved very competently when talking about political affairs.
Zhang Jie actually guessed what Cui Dun was thinking, but he still couldn't help but persuaded: "How many of them are unwilling to leave? The military order from the base camp made it very clear that City Lord Cui can abandon Shapu City if necessary. It is best for you to leave all
Take everyone away. This place is very close to the enemy-occupied area. Even if the enemy does not kill the people in the city, they will take them back to the enemy-occupied area."
"Haha, I know the military orders of the base camp very well, but I also know my responsibilities. There is Zhang Xun in Juyang City, and Cui Dun in Shapu City. The main force of our army is chasing after the enemy. What is missing is time.
I will lead the more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians who voluntarily stayed to defend the city to buy time for the army. Even if we can delay the enemy for one more hour, it will be an extra contribution for Shaodianguo." Cui Dun said with a smile, not seeing it at all.
He is doing something fatal.
"Ashamed, I have military orders and cannot defend side by side with City Lord Cui. I can only try to delay the enemy's pace outside the city. I hope Shaopu City can survive this disaster safely with the blessing of Shaodian God of War." Zhang Jie admired Cui from the bottom of his heart.
Dun.
Local city lords are different from army commanders. When military orders and responsibilities conflict, the city lord can ignore military orders and insist on his duties as the lord of a city.

The frontiers blocked the camp. At this time, the military camp was full of soldiers from the Meng Kingdom, but those who besieged the camp were soldiers from the Shaodian Kingdom. Hong Jin led the Meng Ninth Army Corps to garrison here, and was attacked by the Shaodian Army led by the 71st Division.
The vanguard troops attack.
There are 50,000 men from Meng's 9th Army in the Duguan camp, and the rest of the troops stay at Bianfengguan. The forward force of the Shaodian Army also has more than 50,000 people, which was temporarily put together from the 8th, 14th, and 21st Army.
The fastest marching troops.
Hong Jin stood on the tallest watchtower in the Central Military Camp, observing the battle that was attacking Xiyingmen with only his naked eyes.
"Isn't the enemy's 71st Division a cavalry division? Why did they also participate in the battle to attack the camp?" Hong Jin saw that a gap had been breached in the west camp wall, and it was Dong Ba's men who were the main attackers.
"They are cavalry on horseback and infantry on dismount. They are among the best among the most powerful elite regiments in Shaodian Kingdom. The 88th Division cannot withstand their attack." The Chief of Staff of Meng's Ninth Army Corps was very worried.
"Damn it, are we all dying? How many people can I have left if we continue to fight like this? No, we still have the task of defending the Winger Pass. We can lose the main camp if we block the pass, but we can't lose the Winger Pass no matter what. We can't use our troops here.
They are all consumed." Hong Jin finally couldn't sit still anymore, "Ask the 90th Division to come up and help the 88th Division to push back the enemy troops. After closing the gap, the whole army will retreat immediately; order the magicians to prepare to set fire to the camp. We
We will burn every camp we evacuate to prevent enemy troops from trapping us."
"Bah, the turtle son ran away now!" Dong Ba spit on the ground fiercely. He could not enter the Winger Pass camp because it was burned into a sea of fire.
"I heard that Hong Jin suffered a great loss at the hands of our Squadron Leader Ding Kui in Huashan County. The division he sent to chase down a brigade of our legion only managed to escape with 2,000 people. He also gave a great contribution to Squadron Leader Ding Kui.
If he runs away, let him run away." Liang Gong personally led the 2o2 Division to join the forward troops.
Dong Ba is an old man of the Eighth Army. He has served as the commander of the 71st Division for many years. According to his qualifications, he can serve as the commander of the Army. Therefore, with the Chief of Staff of the 21st Army, he is also the commander of the forward force.
"Xiao Liang, you knew that the young master was in Xia Xuan Guan, but you still came up with that bad idea. If the young master has any accidents, I won't be done with you." Dong Ba was very unhappy with the junior in front of him who had a higher position than himself.
"General Dong's words are wrong. If I don't attack Bianfeng Pass, the enemy army may still go south to open the road to Xiaxuan Pass. If I attack Bianfeng Pass, then the enemy's attack direction will be determined, and the base camp will be
We will give a clear order to move the 2o1 Division to a safe place. Captain Ding Kui and the 2o1 Division are our Gu Shuai's darlings, how could I come up with an idea to put them into a disadvantageous situation?" Liang Gong quickly told Dong Ba
explain.
Although the good family members do not serve in the staff department, they are a staff family after all, and it is impossible for them to have bad relations with the Protectorate. Now that they are fighting in Nanma Prefecture, they are even more unwilling to fall out with the people of the Eighth Army.
"Okay, I'll leave those weaklings to you. We have to rush to Zhongwan City immediately to have a look. He Lianyu probably won't arrange such an unbeatable army there." Dong Ba has already received the message from Zhongwan City.
News of the occupation.
"The strategic location of Zhongwan City is very important, and when we attacked here, the defenders there did not come to rescue, so they must not have enough troops. It seems that either Meng Seventh or Meng Thirteenth Army is responsible for garrisoning there. General Dong is leaving here
We must deal with it carefully." Liang Gong must lead the 2o2 Division to wait for the 21st Army Corps here, and then go to attack Bianfeng Pass. He cannot follow Dong Ba to Zhongguancheng.
"Hey, the forward troops don't have siege equipment. I won't attack the city by force. I wonder if the enemy's elite troops have the guts to go out of the city to fight with me." Dong Ba looks rough but has a lot of tricks. If Jiang Xi didn't have a relationship with the Ding family,
With strong family ties, it's not easy to command him.

Ding Kui quickly ran to Xue Chong, picked up the unconscious prisoner on the horse with one hand, threw it in front of Xue Chong's horse, and said: "This time I learned the lesson and left one alive. This man should be a
Head."
The First Brigade was ordered to intercept the enemy's scouts and ran less than twenty miles north of Shapu City. There were traces of the Meng Army's scouts. Xue Chong gave the order to disperse the First Brigade and pursue the Meng Army everywhere.
