"My lord, are you going to Lengshuipo?" Liu Yu was wearing a green shirt. When he rushed to Ding Kui's side, there was white air coming out of his head. It was obvious that he had run a long way.
"Isn't this the plan we have made?" Ding Kui asked back. Liu Yu knew the territory's military plan.
"Our original purpose was to delay the enemy's attack on Juyang City, allowing the people in the city enough time to escape and help. However, one moment after another, the current situation is different from what we imagined.
In about two hours, the people in the city who should be evacuated will basically be able to leave. It will take almost two or three hours for the enemy troops to land, reorganize their troops, and march here. My subordinates think that there is no need for us to go to Lengshui Slope to block the enemy's main force."
"You mean," Ding Kui turned and pointed at the dock, "it was the supporting troops who attacked the dock?"
Liu Yu heard that Ding Kui had understood what he meant, and breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "My lord is wise! My subordinates observed that the enemy left behind two hundred medium-sized warships with about 40,000 troops.
There is a certain gap between the troops, and those attacking the dock are definitely not the main force."
Ding Kui nodded in agreement.
"In order to cope with the containment here, the 7th and 8th Infantry Battalions cannot go to Lengshuipo. Our troops are originally small, so it is obviously not a good choice to fight separately. It is better to wait for the main force of the enemy to go far away, and then we withdraw from the dock.
Defend the troops, lure the enemy's supporting troops ashore, and then concentrate all the troops to deliver a severe blow."
Liu Yu gave a rough idea, but he believed that Ding Kui could deduce a complete plan.
"Rest where you are!" Ding Kui ordered, pointing to Ding Cai with his right hand.
Ding Cai quickly took out a map from his pocket and ran to Ding Kui's horse to spread it out.
All the cavalry brigade dismounted, and the soldiers of the infantry battalion sat down on the spot.
"Forty thousand people. If no one interferes with the dock, two thousand people can come down during one meal..." Ding Kui looked at the map and held his chin to calculate.
Xue Chong, Jiang Jiao, Shao Dianfei and others gathered around.
At this time, the sand and gravel on the ground danced, a burst of sand and dust rose from the east, and another cavalry unit was approaching.
The horses in the Juyang City Cavalry Brigade were a little anxious, but the spotted horse that Ding Kui sat on was very calm, staring at the bag in Ding Fen's hand, where the beans he loved to eat were there.
Qian You wanted to fly up, but Ding Kui reached out to stop him and said, "The first brigade is coming."
Sure enough, Feng Liang and his men came to meet outside the north gate.
"You haven't left yet. Actually, you don't have to wait for us." Feng Liang and Liang Chong came over curiously.
"Okay! Find a place to set a fire in the city, let's just use my lord's mansion, so that it won't burn down the surrounding houses." Ding Kui suddenly shouted something incomprehensible.
Liu Yu stroked his beard and nodded, saying: "There must be people in the army of tens of thousands who know how to fight. They can tell the size of the fire. With their absolute strength, they are not afraid of being tempted!"
"Give up the dock? It's a bit risky. They have tens of thousands of people anyway." Liang Chong understood what Ding Kui and Liu Yu said.
"You don't have to give them all, just one. Give them the new dock. They will naturally attack the old dock by land and water. If there are 10,000 people ashore, they will not miss the opportunity." Ding Kui looked away from the map.
Scan towards the people around you.
"It makes sense. The road from the new pier to the old pier is flat, with a wide view and it is difficult to set up an ambush. It can easily lead to a frontal confrontation. The enemy has reason to choose the land route to outflank the rear of the old pier." Liu Yu's thoughts followed Ding Kui.
Liang Chong, who was observing the horse and infantry soldiers at the assembly point, counted on his fingers, "There are 3,000 infantry and 1,800 cavalry here. Counting the 500 infantry at the new dock, we can put more than 5,000 people into the field. The morale will be high." If available, there is a 60% chance of winning."
"Haha, brothers! Tell Staff Officer Liang, do you dare to fight?" Ding Kui stood on the horse and waved to his private army.
"Be loyal to the city lord! Defend the territory!" The voice was uniform and loud.
"Well done!" Ding Kui gave his subordinate a thumbs up, "I think the chance of winning is 80%!"
"My master leads the army into battle, and he will definitely win every battle!" Ding Cai was neatly dressed and quite powerful, with his wretchedness hidden under his armor.
"Now I need someone to go to the new wharf to command the eighth battalion of the infantry, help me lead the enemy troops ashore, and then bring them to the old wharf. Which of you can complete this task?" Ding Kui asked the general, hoping that his men could recommend themselves.
The people present looked at me and I looked at you, but no one immediately stood up and responded.
This task is not easy to complete. The initiative lies with the enemy. It is easy to lead it ashore, but it is difficult to bring it to the old dock.
"What? Is there no one to share my worries?" Ding Kui didn't expect to be left in the cold.
"How about I go?" Liu Yu came to the rescue.
"No, you want to control the overall situation with me, how can you be used as bait." Ding Kui refused on the spot.
How can a local tactical arrangement allow the military advisor to take action?
When Liang Chong saw Ding Kui's eyes sweeping over him, he waved his hands and said, "I often study how to win a battle, but I have never learned how to win a battle. I have no ability or experience." He knew very well that the task of luring the enemy was to defeat the battle. , it is a fact that I have no experience, and it is also a fact that I don’t want to go.
Xue Chong was struggling in his heart. He should step forward for this kind of thing, but he really didn't have the confidence to complete the task.
"Alas, the Wan brothers are not here." Ding Kui knew that Wan Ban and Wan Yu were helping Fei Ze at the old dock.
"Well, how about letting the younger one go?" Ding Cai weakly raised his hand.
Oh, thousands of pairs of eyes focused on him.
"That's right, you have experience!" Ding Kui immediately remembered Ding Cai's origin, a captain of the Fourth Army Corps stationed in Hexi Prefecture.
When it comes to fighting against landing troops, the most experienced one here is Ding Cai. Xue Chong used to be stationed near Zhuoshui Town most of the time. In comparison, he is really not as good as Wu Zhili back then.
In fact, Ding Cai's idea was purely to help Ding Kui out of trouble. He didn't care whether he could complete the task or not. He just wanted to let Ding Kui know his loyalty, and it was estimated that Ding Kui would reject him.
"Okay! People from the Ding family should stand up." The first person to recognize Ding Cai was Ding Kun, the person who looked down on Ding Cai the most.
"Ah, ah, ah, this is the duty of a slave." Ding Cai quickly nodded and bowed to the old butler.
"Not bad, you stole my limelight." Ding Chuan's palm slapped Ding Cai's shoulder heavily.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ding Cai complained.
"Eh? How could I forget you, the third squad leader of the Fourth Squadron of the Sixth Brigade?" Ding Kui sat back on the horse.
"Your memory is so good, I am willing to die for you!" Ding Cai half-knelt in front of the spotted horse, biting the last two words very hard.
"I didn't ask you to die. If you died, wouldn't the mission be messed up? The key is that in my memory you never won a battle, but you were always able to save your own life. If you hadn't been framed that time you assassinated me, In the hands of the teacher, maybe you can escape back to Funiu Mountain." Ding Kui held his chin and looked at Ding Cai, the memory reappeared in his mind.
"This, uh, can we not mention what happened back then?" Ding Cai blushed.
"It's you!" Ding Kui jumped off the horse and helped Ding Cai up himself, "Ding Fen, give him the command flag."
"Oh." Ding Fen also jumped off the horse, reached behind her head, pulled out a small flag, and put it into the hands of Ding Cai, who was still confused. All the flags of the general were planted on her back.
"No, ah, you, me, slave, really let me go?" Ding Cai pinched the flag in his hand and realized that he was not dreaming.
"snort."
The gentle hum from Ding Kun's nose sounded like thunder from the sky in Ding Cai's ears.
"Yes!" Ding Cai immediately clenched his fist and knocked on his chest, "I accept the order!" If you do the task, you will not necessarily die. If you don't do it, you will definitely be killed by the death grip. He can think clearly with his heel.
"Okay, Commander Xue." Ding Kui jumped back on the horse.
"My subordinate is here."
"You lead the fifth and sixth infantry battalions to ambush outside the south gate. When the magic light bullets take off, you lead your troops out and attack the enemy from the side and rear." The south gate Ding Kui mentioned is the south gate in the traditional sense.
has been demolished.
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Feng Liang, Shao Dian Fei!"
"My subordinate is here!" Feng Liang and Shao Dianfei clasped their fists at Ding Kui together.
The First Brigade is no different from Ding Kui's private army, and Feng Liang claims that he has no sense of disobedience among his subordinates.
"Each of you lead your troops to ambush in the city. When you see the magic light bullets rising into the air, you lead your troops out of the south gate and attack the enemy array from the front."
"Subordinates take orders!"
Ding Fen distributed the flags one by one to Xue Chong, Feng Liang and Shaodian Fei.
"The others will follow me to the old dock first."
"Yes!" The rest of the people bowed to Ding Kui and responded.
As soon as Ding Cai took a few steps, he heard Ding Kui shouting from behind: "Wait!" He immediately turned around and looked at Ding Kui hopefully.
"Brother, you go with him." Ding Kui had no intention of changing people.
"Me?" Qian You was a little surprised.
"Yes, you go and provoke the enemy's magician, and I will ask Ao Yan to come over and lay an ambush." Ding Kui had to force his own people to land.
"Oh, I can fly very fast by myself, so I can't take him with me." Qian You pointed at Ding Cai.
"Don't worry about him, he has his own way."
"No! I can't help it!" Ding Cai was shouting in his heart, but it was a pity that Ding Kui couldn't hear his voice.
Ding Cai and Qian You rode horses together towards the new dock. On the way, Qian You couldn't help but ask: "Can't you tell, do you really have a way to lure people from our country ashore?"
"That's not the case. The villain just wants to step down for the master. What can I do?" Ding Cai complained to himself.
"Haha, there is no other way to think about it. Back then, two thousand of you fought against one hundred thousand people, and you fought all day long. You couldn't have persisted through hard work, right? I'm optimistic about you." Qian You could only encourage Ding Cai.
"Master Qian, why don't you talk to me and find another person to carry out the task?"
"Master Ding gave you an order in front of so many people. Do you think he will replace him? If you don't have the time, you might as well think about how to deal with the people of your country." Qian You gave Ding Cai a look that was asking for blessings.
.
Ding Cai opened his arms and shouted to the sky with a piercing voice: "God damn our countrymen!"
