"Is there no news yet?" This is the first time Shi Shi has asked this question.
After receiving the letter eagle from the 70th Division, the legion headquarters immediately responded with one, asking about the specific situation of the sneak attack on the 70th Division. Considering that the letter eagle flew back and forth for more than an hour, there should be a reply by this time.
"No."
Shi Shi frowned, stood up and sat down again, and said: "There are at least two free Faith Eagles in the permanent camp of a division. It seems that the situation is not good. Oops!" He suddenly slapped his thigh.
He immediately pulled out a map with his own hands, spread it out, moved his fingers along the base camp to the east ferry, and suddenly stopped at a certain point.
"No! I was careless. I should have waited for Chai Xulin's response before sending reinforcements. If Luo Yong falsely opens the camp gate, the 70th Division may not be able to support it for long, and they may set up an ambush at Oak Forest Beach!"
A staff officer glanced at it, took a breath, and said: "Hey! The 63rd Division has more cavalry. If the end of the Oak Forest Beach is blocked, they will have no choice but to turn back and go down to the river. On that tidal flat, their combat effectiveness will be much higher.
Significant decline.”
"You!" Shi Shi pointed to the staff officer, "Hurry up and give orders to the 68th, no! Give the 69th Division an order to rush to the 63rd Division. If they are ambushed by the enemy, they must not hesitate to fight and withdraw their troops quickly."
After the staff left, Shi Shi whispered: "I hope the 61st Division can arrive as soon as possible, otherwise we may not even be able to defend this place."
Zeng Duan, the commander of the 65th Division, also crossed Baitan River and came to the Chinese army tent and found many troops gathering in formation. When he saw Chen Chao and Luo Yong, he asked: "Where are those troops outside going? Are you going to leave me?"
Going to eat meat?”
"Soldiers are valuable and quick. You are also an old soldier. Don't you understand this?" Chen Chao handed Zeng a cup of hot tea, "Let's set up an ambush first. After you and Lao Niu's troops have assembled, go over and kill them."
, we are thinking about both of you."
"That's right, I let you take advantage." Fei Qing and Hou both agreed beside them.
"Nonsense! My division has just started to cross the river. It will be dawn after Lao Niu's troops have finished crossing the river. We will go back just to clean the battlefield for you and pick up some wool." Zeng Duan did not mean to appreciate it.
Luo Yong said seriously: "Yingfang just received an inquiry from the headquarters. The reinforcements sent by Shi Shi should be on the way. It can't be delayed and we can't wait for you. We must rush to the ambush point as soon as possible to prepare."
"I obey what the Chief of Staff says. We can't let those rebels take advantage of the loophole. Leave this to me. If you want to set off, go quickly!" Zeng Duan was used to obeying Luo Yong's orders.
"Okay, let's set off!" After Chen Chao made eye contact with Luo Yong, he waved his hand and strode towards his team.
Boom, tens of thousands of torches were lit together inside and outside the camp, illuminating the surrounding area like daylight. Orders to set off came one after another, and several fire dragons began to extend to the north. This team did not have to worry about being discovered before arriving at the ambush site.

The servant took Wang Deng to Jiang Xi's study. Although it was just dawn, Jiang Xi was already sitting in the study, fully dressed.
"The good news is that Chen Chao united the 62nd, 64th, 65th, 66th and 67th Divisions. Under Luo Yong's suggestion, he annihilated the 70th Division and defeated the 63rd Division in an ambush at Oak Forest Beach. The 69th Division responded in time.
We were unable to annihilate them all." Wang Deng was even happier than leading his troops to victory.
"When did this happen?" Jiang Xi could still calm down.
"Yesterday morning."
"So Chen Chao has arrived in the city controlled by the imperial court, and he also knows that he has become the commander of the war zone."
"Yes, their vanguard arrived at Xiaobei County and reported to the commander-in-chief through the magic communication array there. Originally, they planned to annihilate the 63rd and 69th Divisions, and then attack Shi Shi's base camp. Unfortunately, the 69th Division did not enter the ambush circle, and they also
After rescuing half of the 63rd Division, Chen Chao and Luo Yong thought about it again and again, and finally decided to retreat to a place controlled by the imperial court." Wang Deng came to Jiang Mansion to report after understanding the entire situation.
This battle within the Seventh Army was the first head-on battle between the orthodox court of Shaodian Kingdom and the self-proclaimed king Shaodianyong Group. It opened the prelude to the battle between government troops and rebels. It is known in history as
The Battle of White Tan Creek.
"The coffin of the late king is buried today. This news can bring some comfort to the deceased king. Once the war is ignited, the wars in various places will be unstoppable. This news can also prompt the superiors to select a new king as soon as possible." Jiang Xi has a keen sense of politics.
The hidden meaning of the Battle of Baitan River can be seen at a glance.
According to tradition, the funeral of the late king is scheduled to be held at noon. The Eternal Temple represents light. The brightest moment in the day is noon. The souls in the Eternal Temple can see their bodies clearly before being buried.
Tantai Yue and Nangong Ru were allowed to attend the funeral, while Queen Tang Qiong was sentenced to death row. Tang Jun finally failed to explain the origins of Ba Kai and Xiang Lan. The title of the Duke of Beizhen was deprived of his title, and the entire Tang family was arrested.
prison.
The three little princes were also present at the funeral, although two were still infants and were held by the wet nurse under the supervision of the magician.
The best thing is that the regent Prince Shaodian publicly asked Prince Yinsha and his eldest son to attend the funeral.
In terms of seniority, Shaodiandan is Shaodianyong's uncle. It is reasonable for you to bring your son to the funeral. Besides, now that you have proclaimed yourself king, there is no reason not to attend the funeral of the late king.
But if Shaodianyong dares to come, he will be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. Once others enter the capital, they will never be able to leave again.
At the end of the funeral, Shaodianshi deprived Shaodianyong of his right to inherit the throne as a matter of course, and officially announced that the eldest prince Shaodianfeng would be the next king, and he could take over the king's scepter when he came of age.
"Kui'er, although you and the princess cannot return to Zhenjing City at will in the future, there are no restrictions on places outside the city walls. If you want to see some people, you don't have to enter the city."
Jiang Li had just read out the imperial edict to Ding Kui and his wife, and the effect was just as Ding Kui expected. They were ordered not to enter the capital city before the imperial edict, and were not allowed to meet the new king. All correspondence must be reviewed by the Taiwei.
"Uncle, do you think Kui'er will come back in time?" Ding Kui said with a wry smile.
"Huh? You mean Meng Guo?" Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses.
"The state of Meng is one of them, and I'm afraid the possibility of our own country is not small." Ding Kui's emphasis fell on the word "our country".
"My country? Even if they have ideas, their main direction should be Hailin Prefecture and Zhongwang Prefecture. How could they come to you?" Jiang Li didn't understand.
"No, no, no, Hailin Prefecture and Zhongwang Prefecture are of little significance to our country. They are still connected to our country's territory on land. Juyang City is different. It should be said that Chunlu Bay Water Village is our country's biggest goal." Ding
