After Ding Kui was promoted to the Master Knight, combing Shaodian Luan's meridians once could drive away a lot of anger. Even if she didn't comb her for half a year, there would be no problem.
However, Shao Dianluan's personality has changed a bit. He has a little temper towards Ding Kui, but he is kind to others. "By the way, why don't you let her go to Hengfu City? Can't I serve you?" No, it's just a petty emotion.
here we go again.
"She is learning to ride the formation at the Knights Guild these days. She had special tasks in the past and has never studied systematically." Ding Kui's head began to hurt.
"Captain Feng is asking for a meeting in the living room." Ding Fen came over to report.
If Ding Kui was granted amnesty, he would quickly make an excuse and run away.
"Junior brother, what's the urgent military situation? There are so many people outside leaving the city." There is no information sharing mechanism between Juyang City and the First Battalion. Feng Liang wants to know and must ask.
"There is no precise information yet, but according to our judgment, there will be an invasion by our country's army in the near future."
Ding Kui is very embarrassed now. When his own army has not really attacked, he has no way to prove that his territory is going to be attacked. He can't keep talking about speculation.
"Can't we deal with them?" Feng Liang has the responsibility to defend his territory.
"Senior brother, that is an army of more than 100,000 people, and there may be more."
"Then you haven't ordered the evacuation yet? Is the princess still in the mansion?"
"Brother, after all, I have reached the rank of military governor and general, and I can't even run away before I see the enemy? I can't afford to lose this person, and your brothers and sisters have to take into account the dignity of the royal family. Besides, there are still many people who have not left, you and me
The troops are all here, at least we have to fight one battle." Ding Kui was determined not to be a coward and run away.
"How are you going to fight this battle if you tear down the city walls?" Feng Liang felt unsure when he heard that there were more than 100,000 troops.
"Soldiers will block you, and water will cover you. I made some preparations before. Now I have eight elite infantry battalions in hand, as well as 800 knights and your first group. It is not a big problem to fight in a field battle. As for how to fight
It depends on the specific circumstances.”
Because he knew that the war was imminent, Ding Kui lowered the standards for combat soldiers. The prospective combat soldiers could wear fine armor to take the assessment, which greatly improved the passing rate.
Dianxi, the young governor of the state, granted Ding Kui five thousand sets of fine armor. Counting the ones built in accordance with regulations in Juyang City and sent by the Jiang family and the Long family, Ding Kui had nearly ten thousand sets of fine armor on hand, enough capital to form an army.
Armored Infantry Division.
The current eight elite infantry battalions alone, not counting the special operations battalion, the combat effectiveness of Juyang City's private army is equivalent to half of the 201st Division.
Feng Liang left the lord's mansion worriedly. Ding Kui's self-confidence did not infect him. An army of more than 100,000 people cannot be defeated by a few thousand people with self-confidence.
The First Brigade can still maintain its elite status under his leadership, but it is unrealistic to reach the level of Ding Kui and Ao Yu. The combat power of those two perverts can be equal to half of the Brigade. Even the former No. 1 Brigade
The large army did not dare to single out a legion; Ding Kui's private army could at most cope with a division.
Hai Mengji was assigned to a small courtyard, and the lord's concubine could not live with other servants. During the day, she was targeted by the lady, so she hid in her room early, but at night she unexpectedly welcomed the lord.
"Master," Hai Mengji had to change his words under Ding Kui's gaze, "Husband, don't you have to accompany your wife tonight? Will she blame me for seducing you?"
"Haha, is Luan'er so fierce in your heart? How do you usually feel when you see her?" Ding Kui wanted to confirm his thoughts.
"Well, it's not that Madam is mean." Hai Mengji said sarcastically, "But when I see her, I get flustered and unconsciously feel scared. In fact, she is rarely mean to me."
"That's it." Ding Kui was basically sure, "Luan'er is gifted with a special physique. He is a rare genius among the children of the royal family. Your physique is also quite special, but it happens to be overcome by Luan'er. This is innate
Sexual conflict does not mean there is enmity between you."
"Ah! That madam will always hate me?" Hai Mengji was dumbfounded.
"It's not that she hates you, it's just an instinctive reaction of her body. Madam sometimes cares about you in front of me. You see today, she wants you to go to Hengfu City to avoid the enemy. Hey, you should try to meet as little as possible, and the instinctive reaction will be natural.
Have fewer attacks." Ding Kui found the cause but had no solution.
Hai Mengji didn't think much about it and nodded fiercely. It wouldn't be a bad thing to see that scary lady less often.
In fact, there was a question in her mind that she always wanted to ask Ding Kui. Did Ding Kui like her because of her special physique? But she was afraid of getting a positive answer and decided to keep the question in her stomach.
On the first day of September in 4788, in the evening, Nanzhao Prefecture received a declaration of war from the Marquis Beiguanting of his country, requesting it to be handed over to the Senate.
In the declaration of war, Le Pi angrily accused Ding Kui of kidnapping Le Yun and extorting him. Not only that, he often sent spies to Beiguan County with the intention of assassinating him. Recently, he even let private ships from Juyang City break into his country and burn him.
Killing, looting, and in short, Ding Kui is described as a heinous sinner. Now the Le family wants to start a noble war against the Ding family.
The Marquis Beiguan Ting of his own country was fighting against the Marquis Shaodian Protector of the country. This matter was not a trivial matter. Shao Dianxi summoned his staff without even eating and asked them what they thought about the matter.
"What does the Le family mean by bringing up old things from a few years ago? The eldest princess is in Juyang City." Nanzhao Zhoumu was very unhappy.
The staff member surnamed Li had dealt with complaints from his country's military and was the first to answer: "I heard that Prince Consort Ding has a private agreement with Chunluwan Water Village. The private army in Juyang City is responsible for patrolling the southernmost section of the Tongyuan River. I am afraid that he will cross the border."
The matter was done by Prince Consort Ding’s men, and Le Pi should have been instigated by his own country’s military to dare to do this.”
"It's just a small matter of crossing the border. Is it necessary for our country's military to provoke a noble war? Our country's navy can't deal with an earl's private army? With the strength of Jiangzhou's navy, no matter how many ships Prince Consort Ding sends across the border, it won't be enough.
The gap between people's teeth." The staff member named Kong is a sensible person.
"It has something to do with the current situation in our country. The Prince Consort has a very deep relationship with the military. In the past, the Le family probably couldn't defeat the Ding family, so they have been holding back until now." The staff member surnamed Wang is the oldest, "Now he is twenty.
Half of the first legion went to Zhongwangzhou, and the military strength that the Prince Consort could rely on was greatly weakened. The Le family may have received help from their own country's military, so they provoked this noble war."
"Yes." The staff member surnamed Li immediately agreed, "Le Pi cannot attack Juyang City without the support of the military. The prince-in-law will suffer a big loss this time, but his subordinates believe that the Le family dare not touch the eldest princess.
.”
"The western part of our country has fallen into rebellion, and our country is now sending troops to invade our territory. Is the purpose behind it so simple? I think it is possible that our country is coveting the Chunlu Bay Water Village as the prince-in-law said." Staff surnamed Kong
Think more.
"How is that possible?" the staff member surnamed Li immediately retorted, "Don't forget who your king's queen is. She is the second sister of the late king and the former eldest princess. She currently has great influence in our country. How could she watch helplessly?
My country is trying to take advantage of our country!"
Shao Dianxi nodded, leaning more towards the view of the staff member surnamed Li, and said: "I heard from the person who submitted the declaration of war that Le Pi was supported by the eldest prince of his country, and that Jiman was Shao Dianrong's biological son.
Although Shaodianrong is the queen of our own king, she still has the blood of our royal family. At most, she can let her son make some small profits, and it is unlikely that she will be allowed to invade our territory. To say the least, our royal family has
The idea should also go to Hailinzhou.
There is no rebellion in our Nanzhao Prefecture. We only experienced war a few years ago. The cities and counties are fully armed and the people still have soldiers to fight. The rebels in Hailin Prefecture have just captured Jinyun City, and the Sixteenth Army has retreated to Zhenguan County.
Defense, the southern border is empty of troops.
Prince Consort Ding does have business talent and is very considerate in managing the territory. Juyang City has now developed into the most prosperous place for commerce in Nanzhao Prefecture. Even I am a bit jealous, and Le Jia must have taken a fancy to this this time."
The staff member surnamed Wang followed Zhou Mu's words and said: "If the Le family wins this noble war, Juyang City will have to pay at least ten or twenty years of commercial taxes to compensate. This is a huge wealth. The lord can also give orders.
The 20th and 21st legions should pay close attention to the dynamics of Giant Sheep City to prevent our own troops from attacking other places, especially to guard the Royal Outpost on Tuofeng Mountain, so that we can control the war within a certain range."
"The navy of Nanzhao Prefecture has not yet recovered its strength. The strength of our navy is much higher than ours. Can we really control the scope of the war?" The staff surnamed Kong was more cautious.
"Let's do this, Kong Ting. As my king's envoy, you go to Nanqiu County to supervise this noble war. If you find anything wrong, please inform me immediately."
Shao Dianxi was able to listen to different opinions, so he simply sent his staff named Kong to Nanqiu County.
Ding Kui only learned of the declaration of war on September 2, and immediately ordered all ships in the city to return to the docks and villages to berth. Only the old and new docks were allowed to enter but not leave, and the coast of the Tongyuan River entered a state of first-level combat readiness.
An enemy situation announcement was issued throughout the territory. If they want to keep their lives and property safe, they will move to Hengfu City. Businessmen from other places and foreign countries will move their belongings as soon as possible. Hengfu City will provide temporary warehouses.
The city's evacuation order has not yet been issued, and a leaflet written by Widow Hu that vows to defend her homeland to the death has leaked out of the market. The content is probably that she will fight against the invading enemies to the end and work with the lord to guard the wealth of the territory.
This tactic is reverse psychological warfare, especially for those who don’t care who occupies the Giant City. These people were originally unwilling to leave their homes and would accept whoever came over as their master. However, after reading the flyers, they developed a rebellious mentality.
Instead of defending Juyang City with Ding Kui, he rushed to Hengfu City early.
All private armies in Juyang City entered the highest state of combat readiness. The special operations battalion raised the alert level of the royal outpost and strictly inspected people and objects passing through the outpost. The first to eighth infantry battalions were stationed in the Juyang City barracks and sent additional scouts to patrol the Tongyuan River; the entire city
The knights gathered at the Knights Guild and practiced the temporary cavalry formation day and night; the training camp distributed weapons and equipment to the prospective soldiers, formed a temporary infantry battalion and stationed in the city defense of Hengfu City, and strictly screened the identity of everyone in Hengfu City.
