"Don't be afraid, look! With these young dogs around, the master knight doesn't dare to attack us." The officer shouted from the team.
In fact, he was very worried that Ding Kui would rush down and kill him. Even if Ding Kui flew further and further away, could the more than two hundred fourth- and fifth-level combatants in his team be able to push back the Dominator Knight? He was not sure.
"Everyone, return to the camp and follow the dominating knight!"
Ding Kui glanced at the shouting officer below and said coldly: "The enemy must have used regular troops to attack the outpost.
Look at this camp. After it is completed, its area will be several times that of the previous military camp. It will not be a problem to accommodate 50,000 to 60,000 troops.
After all the troops are stationed, the elite team that intercepted us will be able to form at least three or four teams. The purpose is to prevent me from rushing out of Hengfu City with my men.
By driving so many civilians here, I'm afraid we will prepare to attack Hengfu City."
"Do they dare? Attacking Hengfu City is tantamount to death." Qian You was observing the camp carefully.
"We don't dare to do it now. Isn't it easy for our country to bring in a few sixth-level warriors as reinforcements? They dare to do so once the reinforcements are in place."
Ding Kui turned his head and looked to the west.
"The question is whose reinforcements will arrive first? Our reinforcements will arrive first. Those fools who didn't escape may be able to save their lives."
He was very dissatisfied with the civilians who refused to listen to the advice and refuse to evacuate. There were thousands of people in the camp below. Before the war started, he tried his best to guide all the civilians to move to Hengfu City, but in the end, there were still many people who were lucky.
It is true that the entire Eighth Army marched eastward, but not all troops were on the way. There were always people who wanted to stay behind and escort the grain, grass and baggage.
The 75th Division without a division commander is a force in the rear.
As we all know, Yu Zhong was promoted by the Yang family. After Shao Dianfeng succeeded to the throne, Yu Zhong left the legion camp and was transferred back to the commander-in-chief to wait for a post. The commander of the 75th Division was vacant.
"Yang Tingrui! Take your people and move those two broken cars to the roadside. Don't slow down the march of the troops behind." Fan Yuzhen looked at the middle of the road unhappily.
Two carts crushed their axles, and bundles of arrows loaded on the carts were scattered on the ground, occupying most of the road. The convoy behind them could not bypass the two broken carts.
The person responsible for escorting this section of the convoy was the Sixth Squadron of the Third Brigade of the 75th Division. The unlucky Yang Tingrui quickly led his men to run over and clear the obstacles in the middle of the road.
Behind is the convoy in charge of the First Squadron. Jiao Mingguang rushed up to check the situation, "Captain, how long are we going to do this kind of auxiliary work? When we reach Nanqiu County, won't all our people be beaten away?" By the way, I would like to express a few complaints to Fan Yuzhen.
Fan Yuzhen took a bite of a piece of grass she picked up from the roadside when she was bored, "Bah!" and spat it out along with the bitter grass juice.
"Do you think we can apply for the prince-in-law to temporarily serve as the commander of the 75th Division?" Her words completely answered the question.
A veteran like Jiao Mingguang naturally knows that the current situation of the army is caused by the lack of a division commander.
"So what if the superiors approve it? How much better can the 74th Division be than us?"
Their fellow sufferers, the 74th Division, are not escorting the grain and grass from behind, although it is rumored that Ding Kui will be appointed as the acting division commander.
"What's the matter? The prince-in-law hasn't taken office yet. After he takes office, can his subordinates serve as auxiliary soldiers? Let's not talk about the vanguard and the commander. At worst, they can join the central army." Fan Yuzhen disagreed with Jiao Mingguang.
"My subordinates also want the prince to be our leader, but he is best at commanding cavalry, and we are all infantry. The 74th Division has a cavalry brigade, so no matter what, it won't be our turn."
"The prince-in-law knows us, will this help?" Fan Yuzhen has not forgotten the experience of Pingzhong County and Huguohou Mansion.
"Is it possible?" Jiao Mingguang's experience was uncertain, "Then we might as well send people to Pingzhong County to beg Mr. Quan to come back and take charge of the 75th Division again."
Under Ding Kui's instructions, Quan Sihai collected military information from Zhongwangzhou and often visited the prefecture and county towns. The people of the 75th Division had already noticed it.
"That's okay! With all the qualifications of Mr. Quan, who dares to let him wear small shoes?"
Fan Yuzhen has considered doing this. Now she is the acting commander of the 75th Division. She is just a person who conveys orders from above. She is unlikely to command the division in battle. She is destined to do logistics work.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and suddenly she patted Jiao Mingguang's shoulder hard, almost with the power of a swordsman. Jiao Mingguang was so upset that he bared his teeth and was embarrassed to say anything.
"You, just go, catch up with the Chinese army quickly, ask the Chief of Staff for me, for the division, and send someone to invite the old masters from all over the world to come back and serve as our division commander again, and lead the 75th Division to carry out its fine traditions.
Get more credit."
Jiao Mingguang rubbed his shoulders and asked, "Why a subordinate?"
"You are the oldest person with the qualifications to speak to the boss. If not, who would you go to? Go back quickly, I will take charge of the No. 1 Squadron."
Fan Yuzhen was filled with energy at the thought of having the opportunity to return to the main force, and she raised her hand to take a picture of something to cheer herself up.
Jiao Mingguang dwarfed and retreated, and hurriedly replied: "My subordinates will set off immediately!"
The Eighth Army Corps was rushing towards Nanqiu County, and our own army was not idle either. Following the capture of Dongxiong City and Chunlu City, the Northern Third and Northern Fourth Army Corps advanced separately and surrounded Port City and Jiaxin City in less than a day.
, another division arrived near Huatong City, and the front swept one third of Nanqiu County.
Hua Song led the main force of the Nanmao Prefecture navy and ran into his own navy. He was repelled by two Qianlong ships and had to retreat to Jinping County to rest.
There are no regular troops in Nanqiu County except for the boundary city. Each city only has its own city defense force available. The local militias are still being organized. Ding Kui was trapped in Hengfu City and had no way to contact the local government. Only Shaodian flew to Huatong Mountain.
, using Ding Kui’s name to recruit troops, they couldn’t even gather a large group in a short period of time.
There was also good news mixed in the chaos. Zhang Jie led the remaining 7,000 troops to the border city. Magicians from the four nearby cities also gathered there. With the arrival of the forwards of the 202nd Division, the border city became a bridgehead against our own army.
News also came from the 20th Army Corps that the forward troops composed of the 199th and 200th Divisions arrived in Tunchang County, less than two days away from Kada City in Nanqiu County. According to previous experience, the barrier to the west of Nanqiu County will not be lost.
The situation in Nanqiu County was deteriorating, and the Shaodian Kingdom's government and the public were worried, but something that made them even more worried broke out.
The Zangwu Mountain Fortress was captured by the rebels!
This is enough to shock the entire kingdom.
The Zangwu Mountain Fortress is the base camp for resisting the rebels on the Western Front. Du Duan's Fifth Army Corps is the main force, and part of the Sixth Army Corps is combined. Together with the new troops recruited one after another, there are a total of more than 200,000 troops.
Although there are four new rebel regiments with a total of 400,000 troops to the west of the fortress, the terrain of Zangwu Mountain is so dangerous that the fortress defenders can outnumber ten or even one hundred, and the rebels' strength is far from enough to defeat the Zangwu Mountain Fortress.
However, the rebel flag is now flying above the fortress, and the place is no longer under the control of the imperial court.
As intelligence continues to come in, the inside story of the fall of the Zangwu Mountain Fortress is gradually revealed.
It turned out that the Sixth Army was hiding rebel spies, and Wang Hanbu and Wu Jin, who were accompanying Dou Douji and Liu Yi, had already been bribed by the Yang family.
The two men each led 10,000 troops to the fortress, and gradually absorbed the rebels mixed with the new army and gradually grew stronger. By the time of the rebellion, they already had 50,000 troops. The rebels cooperated with these 50,000 people inside and outside, and suddenly launched their attack one night
A surprise attack, breaking through the three lines of defense in one go.
Liu Yi was guarding the fourth line of defense that night. He fought hard with his men and blocked the rebels' crazy attack for two hours. In the end, he was outnumbered and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he had his own soldiers to protect him and regained the fifth line.
Heavy line of defense.
The fifth and final line of defense was guarded by Du Duan personally, but his fifth legion only had half of its strength, and together with Dou Doujiu's troops, there were only about 60,000 men.
Faced with a strong attack by more than 400,000 rebels, and many areas were still in danger of falling into enemy hands, Du Duan was unwilling to use up all his men, and after a period of symbolic resistance, he ordered the withdrawal.
Now the door to King Zhuzhou is open. As long as you cross the Zangwu Mountain, you can enter the foundation of the Shaodian royal family.
The Commander-in-Chief's Mansion was still able to remain calm because King Zhou had gathered a quarter of Shaodian Kingdom's regular army. The 1st, 4th, 9th, 15th and 17th legions had been lined up at the borders of Haishan Prefecture and Xihai Prefecture and were being reorganized.
The Tenth Army and the newly defeated Fifth Army still have the strength to fight.
This army of about 600,000 people includes the most elite troops, and it is not a problem to guard Zhuang Wangzhou.
The Government Council, the Senate and the Clan House could not remain calm, and they all accused the Commander-in-Chief of not strengthening the defense force of Zangwu Mountain, which allowed the traitors to take advantage of the situation.
Bang, a solid wood table shattered into pieces.
"The majestic knight, can you control your power?"
There are not many people who dare to confront Ding Kui in Hengfu City, and Shao Dianluan can be said to be the only one.
"What does the Ministry of Military Intelligence do? This is not the most hateful thing. The most hateful thing is to let that traitor command the 1st and 17th Army Corps!" Ding Kui had an angry look on his face, and his eyes seemed to be spitting out fire.
"What?" Shao Dianluan has never seen Ding Kui so angry.
"Your Highness, the person responsible for commanding the 1st and 17th Army Corps is named Yangfeng. He is someone who should have died to apologize for his crimes." Liu Yu rarely used the word "thing" to describe a person with such contempt.
"Yangfeng?" Shaodianluan felt a very unfamiliar name.
"He is my enemy! He is the enemy of the Ding family! I will take his life with my own hands to borrow the spirit of my ancestors!" Ding Kui gritted his teeth.
All the elders of the Ding family were familiar with this name. When Liu Yu said it, they immediately understood Ding Kui's reaction.
"Young master, I don't need to worry about it, I will go and get the head from his neck." Ding Kun's sinister expression made people shudder.
"No! I want to avenge this with my own hands." Ding Kui put his hands on Ding Kun's back and used his fighting spirit to help Ding Kun adjust his breathing.
It has been a long time since Ding Kun's murderous aura affected his mind. Fortunately, Ding Kui discovered it in time.
"This, this Yangfeng is the commander-in-chief of the two legions, and he is the one who protects King Zhouzhou. If we kill him now, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." Shao Dianluan's mind was a little confused, and he felt that Ding Kui was following this matter.
