"Thank you very much, Count Ding, for coming all the way to support us. The 20th Legion will definitely keep this sentiment in mind." The staff officer named Tie Qibin was the chief officer who received reinforcements from all walks of life.
The support of local armed forces to the 20th Army is entirely a personal wish. People can come or not. There are no official hard and fast rules. Tie Qibin would like to thank every local armed force who came and record this favor on behalf of the 20th Army.
Ding Kui said politely: "Juyang City has only recently become my territory, and I haven't formed many private armies. I hope Iron Staff will not think that we have few people."
"How can it be possible? The flying general is so famous that the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms are frightened by the news. Even if you come alone, it can greatly boost our morale. What's more, you have brought a mighty army with strict military discipline. Let us see, all of them are wearing
Jingjia, return, return..."
Tie Qibin couldn't help but was stunned when he took a closer look.
Although the special operations battalion in Juyang City all rides horses, their equipment looks like infantry. The key is that everyone has a bow and arrow on their horse. As a staff officer of the regular army, he is not sure what kind of army this is.
"Oh, hehe, they are special warfare infantry. They can ride and shoot. They know a little bit about everything. They are quite useful in dealing with monsters." Ding Kui introduced to Tie Qibin humbly.
"Oh, I have long heard that Lord Earl is the captain of the special operations brigade. He is good at special operations behind enemy lines. He is really a soldier with courage and a general with the power of heart. What you have brought out is a group of little flying generals." Tie Qibin was half sincere.
He complimented the troops brought by Ding Kui.
People in the military would know the affairs of the Ding family to some extent, and the army in Nanzhao Prefecture would naturally be familiar with Ding Kui's deeds.
"What's wrong with the general? It's because of everyone's humility that I killed a few more enemies. I was just serving the country. How about it? What's the situation on the defense line now?"
Ding Kui heard the movement on the eastern defense line, and there must be a battle going on.
"Let me give you a brief introduction to the current situation. Yesterday afternoon, the forward of the beast wave began to attack the defense line. Since we were well prepared, we were able to block it without much effort.
The first wave of monsters attacking just now was a combination of elephant otters and red-headed kites. It will take a certain amount of time to deal with them, and the battle should still be continuing." Tie Qibin said.
"The 195th Division is stationed from the North Fortress to the West Fortress, the 196th Division is stationed at the South Fortress and the Middle Fortress, and the junction between the two divisions is connected by nearby local troops." He said while taking out a terrain map.
Show the picture to Ding Kui.
Two divisions of the 20th Army Corps guard Zhuoshui Town all year round, and another three divisions serve as reserves at the Dongxing County Camp. The remaining half of the Army Corps guards the border of our country.
"Okay, then please ask Iron Staff to arrange for us. We can go to the front line at any time." Without saying much, Ding Kui immediately asked for battle.
Tie Qibin looked at the troops in Juyang City again and said: "Your troops can fight both near and far, and they have the same magical power as a division. They are most suitable for defending the fortress.
The 196th Division has 4,000 people in the Central Fortress, plus 3,000 people in the South Fortress. The number of troops responsible for defending the camp is slightly insufficient. How about you be responsible for guarding the South Fortress for a period of time?"
The defense of the camp requires a large number of melee troops, while the fortress requires long-range firepower. The people brought by Ding Kui are most suitable for defense on the city wall.
Ding Kui naturally had no objection to this arrangement. It was much safer on the city wall than in the camp.
Tie Qibin had great power, so he turned around and arranged a timetable for Ding Kui. From early morning to afternoon tomorrow, the defense of the southern fortress would be handed over to the troops from Juyang City.
The Zhuoshui Town defense line has sufficient troops to guard it, so it is divided into four shifts, with each shift defending for about six hours.
The configuration of the special operations battalion is very luxurious in Tie Qibin's opinion. Only the most elite infantry teams in the 20th Army are all equipped with fine armor, and no infantry brigade has its own team of magicians. Let's look at Ding Kui and his team. The personal guards can completely destroy any division commander. This unit is equivalent to a large group, so it is very luxurious to use it in a fortress with low strength requirements.
However, the local armed forces cannot meet the requirements of the regular army, not to mention that they are here to support, and there is no reason to treat them as coolies.
"Do you want me to go observe the battle situation?" Qian You asked Ding Kui secretly.
"No need, Warcraft doesn't have tactics, just use soldiers to block the water and use the earth to cover it up." Ding Kui had experience in resisting the beast tide and knew how to command a special operations battalion.
The entire Zhuoshui Town was busy but not chaotic. It was said that Yi Sheng had taken up the defense line headquarters and personally directed the resistance against this beast tide.
"Just send a staff officer to pick us up?" Ding Kun said with dissatisfaction.
As a sixth-level combatant, he was the top presence on the battlefield, and with Ding Kui's prestige in the army, if the supreme commander did not come to greet him, he would at least send a deputy general. Only sending a staff officer made him feel slighted.
"Forget it, today is different from the past. We may ask for the Twenty Legion in the future. They have been in Nanzhao Prefecture for the longest time and are real local snakes. Don't worry too much about them." Ding Kui looked at it more openly.
When he puts his foundation in Juyang City, he needs to consider the surrounding environment. As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. People cannot just be stubborn and must be tolerant when they should be tolerant.
Tie Qibin's reception was still in place, and the quartermaster came to inquire about the needs of the camp where the accommodation was arranged. The needs of the guest army were different from those of the main army, and food and vulnerable ordnance had to be supplied separately.
The food of the special operations battalion is much better than that of ordinary troops. Ding Kui basically spent all the military expenses of the three thousand people in the royal outpost on them. The cost of a meal for each person is equivalent to three times that of the ordinary regular army.
However, in Juyang City, only combat soldiers are treated like this. Auxiliary soldiers and new recruits are not as good as ordinary regular troops.
The beast tide did not put too much pressure on the defense line in the early stage. Ding Kui slept peacefully all night, and the next day he was full of energy and led his men to garrison the southern fortress.
The city wall of the South Fortress is 25 meters high, 10 meters wide, and about 500 meters long. It is specially used to prevent the beast tide. The city defense facilities are different from those of ordinary cities. They are mostly used for fire attacks to specifically restrain water-based monsters.
"Dou Xiaoqi, divide your troops into two parts, one part is close to the city wall for defense, and the other part is on guard behind; Qianyou, the magicians are also divided into two teams, each magician is responsible for a fifty-meter-wide defense zone; Shao Dianye, you will command the personal guards and be responsible for taking care of everyone." Ding Kui ordered.
Their tactics are very simple. If the monsters attack the camp on the ground, they will kill them with bows and arrows. If they climb up the city wall, they will kill them at close range. The task of the magicians and personal guards is to cover the infantry.
Five hundred special forces were divided into two teams, each guarding a two-meter-wide front; each magician and bodyguard was responsible for a fifty-meter-wide front, with Ding Kui and Ding Kun taking overall control.
"The Red-headed Kite is here again." Qianyou put one hand on his forehead to build an arbor and looked at the eastern sky.
"Their goal is to hit the fortress. If they fly over our heads, there won't be many left. We'd better focus on the ground."
Ding Kui has been carefully observing the Central Fortress since yesterday, which is equivalent to a circular city wall outside the magic tower. Most of the long-range attack power on the entire defense line is concentrated there, because the Central Fortress has a 360-degree angle attack surface.
The exit of the great swamp is too wide, and the narrowest parts from north to south are three to four kilometers long. Putting a fortress with a diameter of about 800 meters in the middle can weaken the impact of the beast tide on the defense line.
Qian You was on the front line in Tianmen Town resisting the beast tide, and his military experience was not as good as Ding Kui's.
"Relax, it will take a while for the monsters to come up. It's too late to prepare after they cross the three trenches. Check the finger buckle, don't shoot it out in a hurry. Whoever's finger is scratched will be responsible tonight Pour the water to wash your feet!" Dou Xiao was riding on the top of the patrol wall.
He also has quite a lot of experience and is the most relaxed one besides Ding Kui and Ding Kun.
Ding Kui patted Shao Dianye on the shoulder, pointed forward and said, "The water-based monsters in the swamp don't run very fast on the flat ground. It takes a cup of tea to wait for the beasts to come over."
Shao Dianye loosened his grip on the gun barrel, exhaled, and said, "Thank you for your advice, sir."
"Ding Fen, please keep your distance. You are the weakest in melee here. Don't stay too far away from me." Ding Kui did not forget to tell Ding Fen.
"Don't worry, sir, I will protect you!" Ding Fen was nervous and excited at the same time, and raised the long bow in his hand towards Ding Kui.
"Take care of yourself. If you don't let me and the young master save you, it will count as a success." Ding Kun did not change his name to Ding Kui. Firstly, he stubbornly believed that Ding Qi was fine, and secondly, he did not want to leak the news of Ding Qi's disappearance.
Ding Fen secretly stuck out her tongue and was the most obedient in front of the old housekeeper. The person she feared most in the Ding family was Ding Kun.
"White-nosed lizards and elephant-nosed otters!" Ding Kui saw clearly the monsters running in the distance. "Pay attention to the petrification rays of the white-nosed lizards and avoid the vital parts of the body!" He issued a warning to the special operations battalion.
White-nosed lizard is a third-level earth and water amphibious monster. Its natural magic is petrification ray, which can make the body or partial limbs stiff for several minutes. It is good at climbing and biting.
"Check your armor! Replace the cork shield in the front row! There is no need to aim the bow and arrow. The sooner you shoot, the better!" Dou Xiaoqi heard Ding Kui's warning and immediately changed his combat order.
"The Warcraft forwards will take off after crossing the central fortress!" Qian You began to command the magicians of the Giant Sheep City Guild.
The ground in front of the defense line was covered with white and cyan, and countless elephant otters and white-nosed lizards mingled together, rolling towards the human defense line like a tide.
Chirp, chirp, thousands of red-headed kites dived towards the central fortress, falling like a huge net. The red-headed kites spewed out fireballs in mid-air, like fireworks rushing down and exploding, a burst of fire rain quickly Sprinkle.
The magic tower in the central fortress did not raise its magic shield, but dozens of water waterfalls rolled upwards towards the sky, accurately rolling towards the area where fire and rain were densely packed.
Woo hoo hoo, waves of trombones sounded at the same time.
Dong Dong Dong, the three fortresses in the north, west and south were beating war drums in response.
In the camps on the defense line, rows of neat infantry formations stood up and walked steadily towards their respective defensive areas.
