Ding Kui was worried that Zhang Jie would commit suicide because of his thoughts. Although he had rescued him, he could not follow him all day. He had to give up the idea of coexisting with the county and the city.
"Ah, another forbidden spell, no wonder." "That's how the fire in the enemy camp came." "No wonder the Northern Third Army didn't chase us. It turned out to be a forbidden magician."...
The people nearby heard Ding Kui's words and whispered.
Han Kai finally understood what had happened, strode over and said, "Sir, Prince Consort, we are facing a powerful enemy and we should take up arms and attack the enemy in unison.
Captain Feng's actions were inappropriate, but they were excusable. At least he led half of the division to break through the encirclement, and his merits outweighed his faults.
Now that the county town has been occupied, the enemy will definitely not give up. The cities surrounding the county town are in danger of being attacked, can you think of a way to deal with it?"
"What's your plan?" Zhang Jie looked at Ding Kui.
After Ding Kui reminded him that Yanling County also needed him to defend, Gu Jun handed over Yanling County to him before going to Zhongwangzhou. Nanqiu County was gone, and more than half of his subordinates were left. The enemy had scruples and did not dare to use forbidden troops.
If you use the curse, there is hope for the defense of Yanling County.
"Tai, our strength alone is not enough to fight against our invaders. We can only fight guerrillas and wait for the kingdom to send a large army."
How dare Ding Kui say he has any plans? Our country has already sent an elite army, and there should be other army groups arriving soon. The few troops he has are not enough to fill the gap between people's teeth.
"General Zhang, come to Chunlu City."
The speaker was Liu Kai, the president of Chunlu City Knights Guild.
"Although our place is not as good as the county town, it is surrounded by water on both sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"No," Ding Kui objected. "The Chunlu River is already controlled by the enemy's warships. Chunlu City's geographical advantage no longer exists. If it is besieged, it will be difficult to break out. The enemy has water-based forbidden laws, so there is no plan to flood it."
It’s useless, there are no dangerous passes that cannot be defended.”
"Liu cannot agree with what the consort said. Isn't it a dangerous pass and the city is given to the enemy in vain?" Liu Kai was very disappointed with Ding Kui's attitude.
"I demolished the city wall, vacated Juyang City, and moved all the people to Hengfu City. Now I am dragging tens of thousands of enemy troops in Juyang City and cannot escape. I know that Juyang City cannot be replicated, but I just want to say that I cannot sacrifice the main force to fight the enemy.
Fight hard, in order to prevent more cities from falling into the hands of our invaders, we can only shrink our troops to dangerous passes." Ding Kui could understand Liu Kai's mood.
"Then where should we retreat to?" Zhang Jie asked.
"Boundary City."
"Hey, give up Nanqiu County?" Zhang Jie hesitated.
"If you give me a legion, then I will fight to the death with the Japanese invaders in Nanqiu County. Our military is not a fool. No matter how chaotic our country is, they cannot occupy Nanqiu County with only one legion. Otherwise, I will concentrate all my forces
If we go to the county town and cooperate with the 201st Division, we will definitely be able to hold on for a month."
It's not that Ding Kui's private army is powerful, but that he has level 6 warriors who can prevent Pan Tu from casting the forbidden spell, so the battle to defend the city is another story.
He turned to Liu Kai and said: "How long can everyone here go to Chunlu City to defend Chunlu City? Three days? Five days? Then Nanqiu County and Yanling County will no longer have an armed force that the enemy is afraid of."
"But, but, hey." Liu Kai couldn't deny the truth.
"The 201st Division withdrew to the border city and should be able to hold on until the 202nd Division came to support. By holding the front line of the border city, the enemy will not be able to invade Yanling County on a large scale. Blocking the enemy's way north is considered a meritorious service by the 201st Division.
There are troops from the 20th Army Corps to the southwest to help defend the front line of Kada City, and the 205th Division to the northwest is stuck in Huashan County. They can withstand the enemy's attack for at least a month, and the kingdom's reinforcements will surely arrive within a month."
Feng Liang took out a map and spread it out in front of Zhang Jie.
To be honest, Zhang Jie didn't hate Feng Liang that much, as the sword didn't strike him as proof. He glanced at Feng Liang, suppressed the anger in his chest, and focused on the map.
Han Kai, Chen Chishi, Zuo Jun and other captains also gathered around to look at the map, as if they were back to the old division meetings, with Ding Kui explaining tactics and everyone studying together.
"Captain Ding," Zhang Jie said with a military salute to Ding Kui, "our troops are unable to defend Nanqiu County. I hope you can organize and lead the county's militia to resist behind enemy lines. The 201st Division will go to the boundary city to hold on, and Nanqiu County will be handed over.
Here you go."
Ding Kui returned a formal military salute and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will do my best to harass the enemy."
"You guys," Zhang Jie pointed around, naming the captains of the 201st Division, "do you have any objections to holding on to the boundary city?"
"Listen to your orders!"
"Okay, we don't have to go to Chunlu City. We will go to Huatong City immediately and then go around to Boundary City."
"yes!"
Ding Kui was not idle either. He first said to the two knight guild presidents: "In the name of the royal family, I request the knight guilds in Port City and Chunlu City to join the militia."
"Obey!" The two presidents could not disobey this order.
The top general of the regular army in Nanqiu County gave up his power to Ding Kui. Ding Kui was the highest commander of the clan in Nanqiu County. He is now also the commander of the county militia. The Knights Guild was established with funding from the royal family. If the commander-in-chief’s office does not care, he has to listen to the clan’s government. Ding Kui can manage
The president of the county's knights guild.
"Shao Dianfei."
"My subordinate is here!"
"You and Liu Kai go to Chunlu City to recruit militiamen with war horses. You only have one night. You will go to Huatong City early tomorrow morning. After that, while recruiting militiamen, you will go to Huatong Mountain to build a camp. When Huatong City is attacked by the enemy,
To attack, you lead the militia into the mountains. You must remember one thing: avoid the truth and avoid the truth."
Ding Kui's order was equivalent to letting Shao Dianfei lead the battle alone.
"Sir, what is your subordinate's combat goal?" Shao Dianfei did not understand the order.
"The enemy that can be killed is your goal, provided that you cannot be eliminated. Whether this goal is big or small, killing one enemy is considered to be achieved; whether it is small, all invading enemy soldiers are your goals.
How far you can reach depends on your ability." Ding Kui gave him an unlimited task.
Shao Dianfei was very excited. He was on the same level as Xue Chong, Zhong Wei, Lei Feixiang, etc. He became the leading role, no longer a captain who could only command a thousand people.
"My subordinates must live up to your high expectations and try to kill more enemy troops to repay your kindness."
"Hurry up." Ding Kui waved his hand.
Shao Dianfei didn't say much, followed Liu Kai back to the team, and ordered all Chunlu City troops to leave immediately.
Ding Kui then ordered the remaining cavalry to go to the Tuofeng Mountain outpost to stand by, and the magician who came to assist in the battle returned to the original guild. He had no authority to command the magician.
Seeing that his men had almost organized the team, Zhang Jie came to Ding Kui and said, "Ding Kui, your commanding ability is now better than mine. If you have any plans, you can tell me directly. If you can cooperate, I will definitely cooperate with you."
.”
"grown ups!"
As soon as Ding Kui opened his mouth, Zhang Jie stopped him.
"Hey, don't call me "Sir" from now on. I am also considered an old subordinate of the old Marquis, and I am about the same age as Liu Yu and Fei Ze. Now that they are working under you, you can just call me big brother."
"Well, the seniority seems a bit confusing." Ding Kui did some calculations and felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, Zhang Jie and Ding Qi were of the same generation.
"It's not chaos, it's not chaos. The old Marquis and my ancestors are of the same generation. In terms of status, the prince-in-law calls me eldest brother, and I still get an advantage."
"Well, okay then, thank you for the compliment, brother!" Ding Kui still didn't understand but didn't stick to it.
"Without you, I'm afraid the division would no longer exist. I want to thank you very much, brother. I don't know if we will see each other again after we say goodbye today. I have a few ignorant children at home. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope you can help me."
"Brother, please rest assured that your family's affairs are my business, and we will definitely meet again. Ji Kou just seized the opportunity that we were not alert to. When the kingdom's army arrives, they will be expelled from Nanqiu County."
"I hope so, see you then!"
Zhang Jie put aside his worries, said goodbye to Ding Kui, and led his men to the northwest.
Everyone left, only Ding Kui was left. He looked up at the sky and said to himself: "It will be dark for a while. Fortunately, the people over there are not very curious. I suddenly appeared here.
I can find a way to evade it. Oh, is there a way to make two identities appear at the same time? I have to think about it carefully."
His appearance here will definitely let Liang Chong and the special operations battalion know in the future. So where did Xie Peng go? Although it is not difficult to find an excuse, it is also easy to be exposed. The best way is to let Ding Kui and Xie Peng appear at the same time.
In front of everyone, it can prevent others from thinking that they are the same person.
When it got dark, Ding Kui slipped to the north bank of the Chunlu River and did not encounter his country's patrol boat. However, he carefully dived into the water, swam to the south bank, and returned to his territory without being discovered by anyone.
Liangchong and others and the special operations battalion also swam to the south bank of the Chunlu River, avoiding the patrol boats and river sentries.
Most of our country's troops were concentrated in the county and city, with a small number blocking the Camelback Mountain outpost and the entrance to the Great Swamp. Not many troops were dispersed to the villages and towns of Juyang City, so the special operations battalion's infiltration was relatively smooth.
They disembarked in Lengshui Town and walked in uninhabited places, bypassing intersections where their own troops might be. It took them nearly two hours to reach Xianggu Village in Yudi Town. Since Xie Peng couldn't explain clearly, they didn't know how to contact them.
The person who responds.
"How about I take a few people and sneak into the village to look for it?" Dou Xiaoqi suggested.
"No, I see you."
A voice startled everyone, but they quickly realized that it was clearly Ding Kui's voice.
A dark figure walked out of the village. When I got closer, I saw someone else if it wasn't Ding Kui.
"Master, I miss you so much." Ding Cai quickly ran forward to greet him.
"Show less affection and do more practical things." Ding Kui taught him a lesson calmly.
When Bai Yun saw Ding Kui, she kept looking behind him.
"No need to look for it. Xie Peng has other things to do and didn't come with me." Ding Kui stretched out his palm to block Bai Yun's eyes.
"Oh, something happened to my benefactor." Bai Yun did not hide her disappointed expression.
"Haha, looking at you like that, it's a pity that Brother Peng has no fate with you."
