There was no need for the scouts to tell Le Pi and the others that they had already seen the situation at the dock. Gong Jun put down his telescope and said, "There is the flag of the 1st Battalion of the 201st Division on the shore. Are they going to intervene in our noble war?"
"Those are Ding Kui's former direct troops. They are in the same group!" Le Yun was also on the boat and recognized the person who had captured him before.
"One of the factors why Ding Kui chose Juyang City as his territory was the cavalry brigade. He has absolute dominance in this small border town." Lang Chun analyzed through intelligence.
"Their response was very fast. It only took about an hour from the time they discovered us to the time they prepared the layout of the pier. It didn't look like they were doing anything hastily. It seemed like they had drilled for a long time. The pier is not that easy to capture." Le Pi felt troubled.
He knew from the beginning that Juyang City was difficult to attack, otherwise he would not have made so many preparations. The owner of the city opposite came from the most prominent family in the Shaodian Kingdom's military, and he was also a man who knew how to fight and know how to fight. It would take a few years to deal with him.
It started before.
Ji Man listened to the whispers of the staff behind him, and then said: "Even if they are prepared, they cannot make up for the disadvantage in military strength. We have strong forces that can attack the dock while heading north to find a landing site, so that they cannot respond from both ends."
"This is a wonderful plan!" Le Pi praised with a high-five, "We will divide our troops into two groups openly and push forward with the overwhelming force of Hengduan Mountain. It will be useless to let them play any tricks."
"How about I go over and light up their dock?" Grant looked at the burning dock with disdain.
"There is no need to trouble Master Ge to take action. You are our high-end combat force. It is not advisable to show up too early. It is not too late to take action when it is critical." Le Pi quickly advised.
He hoped to use Grant and the other three as ambushes along the way to achieve a surprise victory.
Not to be outdone, the magician on the shore said, "Let me capsize a few of their ships first. It would be a waste not to let me take action on the Tongyuan River." Huan Qiao didn't want to just retreat.
How could Huan Qiao endure if a water magician was not allowed to perform magic on the Tongyuan River?
He was determined to help Ding Kui fight the noble war out of reason and emotion. Part of the resources obtained by the Magic Guild came from gifts from the lords. It would definitely not be in the interests of the Guild to be crippled by Le Pi. Ding Kui was a person admired by the teacher and a junior sister.
As a child, I am a fellow from Pingzhong County, so I can’t justify not helping.
"With so many people coming from the other side, there will definitely be a lot of magicians. We need an overwhelming advantage to take action. If Ao Yan and Brother Xie are here, I have no objection to you taking action, and I don't want to provoke the enemy to storm the dock.
It's a bit irritating for them to capsize a few boats now. Don't worry, President, the Everglades is your home ground too."
Ding Kui didn't want the situation to get out of control. If Huan Qiao angered the other party and forcibly captured the dock, it would disrupt his overall plan.
"Senior brother, let's withdraw first. We don't have to do anything. We are just a burden here. The prince-in-law will definitely not suffer the consequences." Li Fei helped Huan Qiao find a step to get off.
"Haha, with Miss Ao and Master Xie here, do I still have a chance to perform?" Huan Qiao thought about it. The environment of the swamp is also beneficial to him. "Well, it's enough to have Qianyou as your eyes."
, let’s go first.”
Twenty medium-sized warships formed an arc around the front of the dock, tens of meters away from the burning and sinking merchant ship. As the flag of the ship in the middle waved, arrows flew towards the dock like rain. The same scene was seen at the new dock.
.
Ding Kui looked at the warships that continued to move north, pinched his chin and said: "They are not stupid, they divided their troops into two groups to contain me."
"They use eight thousand archers to attack in turns. They can attack from early morning until the end. If the dock is not careful, it will fall. Troops must be sent to the dock to fight back." Liu Yu also saw the enemy's intention.
"Order the 7th and 8th Infantry Battalions to reinforce the dock." Ding Kui did not hesitate.

"Push it quickly, push it quickly!" Wan Ban led a team of urban management officials to push ten carts to the old dock.
Wan Yu slid down a flagpole, waved to Wan Ban, and shouted: "Are they those things that were removed from the city wall?"
Wan Ban patted the big car next to him and said, "That's right! I just received the order from Mr. Fei, and I knew it was the turn of these things to come on stage. I asked your people to come over and help, and it will take a while to install them.
time."
Wanyu put his index finger into his mouth and blew the whistle hard. The urban management team members who were dodging bows and arrows in various corners of the pier stretched out their heads and ran over immediately when they saw Wanyu's greeting.
The two brothers did not move to Hengfu City. They specially selected a group of people with good skills as their subordinates, and they usually did training, which was of course related to archers.
Nearly two hundred people worked hard for a while, assembling the catapult that was fixed on the top of the city with a cross.
"Where are the stone bullets?" Wan Ban patted his thigh after completing the debugging of the catapult.
Wan Yu stared at his brother, "Are you sure you're not joking? You got the catapult. Where are the slings?"
"Oops! There are a lot of broken bricks piled behind the seafood store. Let's go and move them quickly." Wan Ban knocked hard on his forehead.
"Hahaha, no need, I brought it here for you." Fei Ze walked over with a big smile, followed by the 7th Infantry Battalion.

Le Pi pressed his hands on the side of the ship and frowned as he looked at the stone bullets flying from the dock, "Did Ding Kui demolish the city wall just to defend the dock?"
He learned from the spies that most of the walls of Giant Sheep City had been demolished. He was extremely puzzled at first, but now he seems to understand a little bit after seeing the counterattack at the dock.
"Brother, as long as I'm here, you can go north with the eldest prince and the others." Le Yun reminded behind Le Pi.
Le Pi turned back and said seriously: "You must not be reckless. The only thing you need to do here at the dock is to contain the troops of Juyang City. You must not rush in!"
Ji Man, Gong Jun and others had already taken another large warship to the north, leaving Le Pi to arrange his troops to attack the dock.
"Please rest assured! I will never be reckless. Don't you still know my character? I don't seek merit but seek no fault. Leave it to me to do feints and I won't hold you back." Le Yun almost pointed out.
God swears.
"Well, then I'll take the first step, and you can go back to your ship."

"You go to Hengfu City first. You are needed to take charge there, and take Mengji away with you." Ding Kui hugged Shaodian Luan.
"I am a fearless knight, and I have a female guard!"
"Okay, your man is a flying general, there is no need for you to fight on the battlefield.
In war, people will inevitably kill people. Is it fun for a pretty girl like you to have your hands stained with blood?
Besides, for letting you go to the battlefield, the Lieutenant will definitely blame me."
Ding Kui persuaded Shao Dian Luan to leave after much persuasion. There were three sixth-level warriors in his country, and it was not too safe for her to wear feather armor. It was best to stay away from the battlefield.
After walking off the watchtower, he did not go back to the Lord's Mansion, but went directly to the Knights Guild.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The whistle sounded loudly on the playground, and people rushed out from all directions to run to the stables. Those who had been practicing rushed to the assembly point.
The internal structure of the knights' guilds in each city is similar, and the stables are right next to the playground.
Ding Kui, wearing black magic armor, with a leopard body and a thundering horse under his seat, and a rosy face, rode his horse to the assembly point. On the weapon hooks in front of the horses on the left and right sides were Yue Shang and Splitting Wind Cone.
"Ten, nine, eight..." He raised his right hand and counted the numbers.
When the count reached one, eight squadrons of knights lined up in front of him.
There are currently more than 800 knights in Juyang City, but Ding Kui always maintains the number of cavalry brigade at 800. After all, some knights take on other positions. For example, Ding Cai wants to be Ding Kui's personal soldier, and Zhong Wei wants to guard
Training camp, Shaodianye is the infantry battalion commander and so on.
"Report! Shao Dianfei, the acting captain of the Juyang City Cavalry Brigade, leads all members of the cavalry brigade to report to Master Ding!" Shao Dianfei, who was first in the first row, shouted from the team.
"Okay! Everyone, take a break." This command was newly established by Ding Kui. "We are about to enter the real battlefield. Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" the knights shouted with all their strength.
"Sir, don't forget that we old brothers have fought with you and killed the enemy!"
Ding Kui followed the call and found out that it was Lao Wangjue who was shouting in the team, and Ma Duping was standing next to him. The people around looked at them with envy. The two of them did not continue to lead the team at the carriage and horse station, and joined the cavalry brigade early.
, a former member of the famous "Ding Kui Squadron" and the captain and deputy captain of a squadron.
Of course, there were also some guards who had fought with Ding Kui and other knights who had retired from the 21st Legion. Shao Dianfei also held his head high proudly. He had participated in the Battle of Zhuoshui Town with Shao Dianluan.
"I'm not asking you veterans." Ding Kui pointed out the veterans in the team one by one, "There are no cowards among my comrades, but there are also no cowards among the knights of Giant Sheep City! Right?"
"Yes!" The answer was louder this time.
"The greedy people from our country are coming, show me how you greet them!" Ding Kui opened his arms towards the team.
"We use guns! We use swords!" The knights raised their guns in their left hands and their swords in their right hands.
This time the cavalry brigade had unified equipment, fine armor, lances and swords. Although the varieties of horses were still uneven, they looked much neater than during the exercise.
"Hahaha, okay! When the guests come, we have fine wine and food. When the enemies come, we have spears and swords! Anyone who dares to invade my territory will be told to stay here forever!" Ding Kui pulled out the Yue Shang and slashed a streak into the sky.
Sword light.
The knights shouted in unison: "Those who dare to invade my territory will be asked to stay here forever!"
A figure flew from the sky in the distance. When he saw the sword light, he quickly lowered his altitude.
"Ding, sir." It was Qian You who flew over. "Most of the people have begun to evacuate to Hengfu City. The first to sixth infantry battalions have assembled outside the north gate."
Ding Kui activated the wartime state, followed by ten soldiers, including Ding Kun, Ding Chuan, Ding Cai, Ding Fen, Ding Zhong, Qian You, Shao Diancheng, Wan Ban, Wan Yu and Gong Le, who were responsible for passing orders and executing special orders.
Task.
Qianyou is the best messenger, although he is a bit unqualified.
Ding Kui sheathed his sword and ordered: "Then let's set off and go outside the north gate first!" At the same time, he was thinking: If that bastard Ao Yu doesn't come back yet, my cavalry brigade will be more powerful if they put on unified war horses.
