Ding Kui was discussing government affairs with Liu Yu and was a little surprised by the news reported by Ding Cai.
"Yes, the enemy dismantled all the trebuchets and took them away. Only patrols were left on the siege position to monitor us." Ding Cai further described what he saw on the city wall.
"Let's go." Ding Kui took Liu Yu with him to the tower.
We just finished talking to the Siren Emperor last night, and our troops have retreated today? It is impossible for Meng and Ji to collude. The most likely reason is that our troops are fighting in other places.
"Sir, the enemy army was still attacking the city in the morning, but suddenly retreated near noon. My subordinates were worried that the enemy army was cheating, so they did not send anyone out to check." Zhong Wei was the commander of the city defense.
Ding Kui looked down the city and saw only twenty or thirty soldiers walking far away from the city gate. The farther places were filled with fog and could not be seen clearly.
"Well, Grandpa Kun and I will go take a look." After saying this, Ding Kui winked at Ding Kun and then flew to the north. Before they could approach their camp, Xia Fan and Bi Yan Mask blocked the way.
"City Lord Ding won't blame us for being rude if we go any further," Xia Fan said.
"Haha, don't be like this. After all, we have just met, and I should see you off when you leave." Ding Kui stopped helplessly.
"You little kid is playing tricks in front of me. If you feel like we're going to leave, just send someone out of the city to try." The wolf-faced woman didn't follow Ding Kui's tricks at all.
Knowing that there were five sixth-level combatants in his country, Ding Kui couldn't help but lead Ding Kun in, and said angrily: "You two don't have much Shaodian blood on your hands. Maybe we will be friends when we meet in the future, no."
Why not be honest about something important?"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Prince Consort Ding to be such an interesting person. Although he talks nonsense, it sounds reasonable. We were friends a month ago, so it's hard to say we won't be allies in the future." Biyan Mask said with a smile, "But
Military orders are the most important on the battlefield, and you are also a member of the army, so why waste your words."
"I don't mean to embarrass you two. How about we exchange news like this? Meng has formed an alliance with me and will soon launch a fierce attack on your army. If you don't leave, you won't be able to go back." Ding Kui pulled up.
Helianyu's banner is made of tiger skin.
The Siren Emperor did not agree to strengthen his attack on his own army, but the people of his country did not know that.
Xia Fan and Bi Yan Mask looked at each other hesitantly, Xia Fan said: "You don't have to deceive us, we won't be afraid even if Meng really attacks."
Ding Kui raised his palm to stop Xia Fan from continuing, "Okay, I'll stop talking about some things, see you later!" After saying that, he turned and returned to Hengfu City, leaving Xia Fan and Biyan Mask looking at each other.
Back on the tower, Ding Kun asked: "Is what the young master said true? Meng has really formed an alliance with us." Everyone else looked at Ding Kui in surprise.
"Half true and half false." Ding Kui smiled, "Now I can be sure that Ji Kou's changes have nothing to do with the Meng Kingdom. It should be the arrival of the Kingdom's reinforcements, and it is not ruled out that the enemy has some conspiracy."
"Conspiracy? We will defend the city and not take the initiative to attack. It will be useless to allow the enemy to play any conspiracy." Zhong Wei has deduced various tactics of his own army.
"Our country has been sending local troops to attack Hengfu City, and their main force is to attack Nanqiu County. Once the attack turns to defense, the nearly 100,000 local troops here can be pulled to guard the pass. It is not in line with our army to be dragged here by us.
Interests." Liu Yu analyzed, "This time our country dispatched five sixth-level combatants and failed to capture us. It is normal to want to change tactics, but risks and opportunities coexist."
Ding Kui asked: "What are the risks and opportunities?"
"Five level six combatants can determine the outcome on other battlefields. Even if the Eighth Army encounters them, it will be difficult to win. There is a chance of severely damaging our reinforcements.
The risk is that our level 6 combatants, if they cooperate with our soldiers to rush out, can at least sweep across the Juyang City area, provided that their level 6 combatants are elsewhere.
Generally speaking, the enemy is more proactive than us. The hundreds of thousands of people and ladies in the city are our burden, and our risks are far greater than the enemy's."
"Qianyou, notify Nanjing City immediately and ask the Nanmo Branch to remind the troops near Nanqiu County to be careful of the enemy's concentration of high-end combat power for a sneak attack." Ding Kui immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Qianyou didn't say much and immediately flew to the Magic Guild.
"Grandpa Kun, please invite Ding Yu, Ao Yan and Qian to make offerings." Ding Kui thought about it and ordered Ding Kun.
Liu Yu asked: "Do you want to take the initiative?"
"There is no other way, we must fight out!" Ding Kui turned to look north, "Bi Yan Mask and Xia Fan are still there, and Zhan Jie is also there if I am not mistaken, but Haotong and Lang Chun should have moved. Those two people If we run to the boundary city, Master Zhang and the others will be in danger."
"But what if this is a trap set by the enemy? There are more than 10,000 fighting soldiers in the city, and we really can't afford too much loss." Zhong Wei urged.
"You!" Ding Kui pointed at Zhong Wei, "Go and ask City Master Qian to come over."
Ding Kun asked softly in Ding Kui's ear: "You're not going to use that, are you?" Ding Kui nodded silently.
At this moment, Ding Kui did not expect that his country would use so much force to attack, sending more than 400,000 troops, and there were six known sixth-level combatants; he did not expect that the Eighth Army Corps would rush to help, and he would not I hope that this army bearing the Ding family's seal will be damaged and simply take out the belongings at the bottom of the box.
"How many crossbows are there now?" he asked as soon as he saw Qian Bu.
"Well," Qian Bu thought quickly, "not counting the rations for the special operations battalion, there are still two thousand left."
"Allotted to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th infantry battalions. From now on, these four battalions will be reorganized into the 1st to 4th Qiannu battalions, and the remaining infantry battalions will be reorganized to fill in the vacancies." Ding Kui said without hesitation.
Lao Qiantou did not expect Ding Kui's sudden change of attitude, so he asked more out of caution: "Are we going to take everything out now?"
"Qian Zongfeng is also back. We can't be suppressed here in vain. We must fight out and hold back the enemy's high-end combat power. Oh, everyone is here, listen to me."
At this time, Ao Yu, Ao Yan and General Shi all rushed to the tower. Ding Kui signaled Ao Yan to set up a soundproof array and gathered his generals to discuss tactics.
With a bang, the suspension bridge of Hengfu City was lowered, and the closed city gate slowly opened with the rotation of the winch. Lei Feixiang, who was fully armed, walked onto the suspension bridge first, followed by eight hundred officers and soldiers from the special operations battalion.
"Huh? They really dare to come out!" Xia Fan has been observing the movements in Hengfu City.
"Withdraw. The main force of the local army has been transferred. We will retreat to the camp at the mouth of the swamp." Biyan Mask waved his magic wand and put away the fog of the battlefield.
The water vapor quickly dissipated under the sunlight, revealing the empty camp of our army.
The special operations battalion all walked across the suspension bridge and said, "Line up in square formation and advance at a constant speed!" Lei Feixiang ignored the changes in the enemy and still carried out the original military order and personally directed the special operations battalion to launch the attack.
