Ding Kui looked at it, and it turned out to be Shu Li, the commander of the 78th Division, who had indeed not led the army to battle for a while.

I don't like to hear that, who went behind enemy lines alone? In fact, he didn't fight a few battles. I'll go!" Luo Tao stood up against it.

"Hehe, just to recognize people, how dare you go out of the camp? This trip is to explore the way, and there is no need for two generals to make a move. Let's go with the 78th Division, they have more contact with enemy troops, and it is not necessary to meet acquaintances. "Ding Kui has heard of the temper of those generals in the legion.

He can't assign tasks casually, he always has to find some reason to come out and try to convince everyone, it's not easy to bring a team these days.

Shu Li happily took the order and left, Luo Tao could also accept Ding Kui's statement, the 77th Division went to Yeliu Town after taking the port city, and indeed did not contact a few enemy troops.

"With the support of the people, it's different, I built a military camp in Yeliu Town, it's called a fast. Luo Tao and Ding Kui inspected Baiqiu Town together.

Since entering Nanqiu County, Luo Tao has seen the most people in Hengfu City, according to etiquette he went to visit Shaodianluan, when the 77th Division captured Yeliu Town, Hengfu City organized tens of thousands of people to come out to help them build a military camp, so that Luo Tao really felt the advantage of fighting at home.

"It's different here, the people have already run out, and the 10,000 people organized by the chief of staff are on the way, and when they arrive, they can build a fortress here. Ding Kui was very glad that he had the refuge in Hengfu City.

A group of generals and staff officers climbed the dirt slope on the edge of the town, "Such good terrain, why doesn't the enemy build a fortress to defend us?" Luo Tao saw the surrounding terrain clearly and found that this place was too suitable for defense.

Fei Ze received Ding Kui's eyes and said: "Baiqiu Town is not far from Chunlu City, the county town and Jiaxin City, the enemy can grasp the changes in this place at any time, and do not worry about our garrison here; there is a flat wilderness around here, as long as the enemy army has sufficient troops, they can bypass this place at will, and it will not be affected by our occupation; the enemy pays attention to the defense of the city and has insufficient troops, so there is no need to build a fortress here." ”

In terms of strategic vision, the old registrar is slightly higher.

"Whoever has the advantage of troops or who is more active is suitable to occupy Baiqiu Town, and he is unwilling to waste his troops here. It seems that we can threaten three cities here, but conversely, we are also threatened by those three cities, and when we attack one city with all our might, it is easy to be attacked by the enemy forces of the other two. Ding Kui interprets the meaning of Fei Ze.

"It's true, if you want to attack and don't occupy here, you won't be able to secure the food route. Zhang Dingyuan did not miss the opportunity to perform.

"How dare you come out and attack our grain road?" Luo Tao disagreed.

"I estimate that there are more than 30,000 troops in Chunlu City and Jiaxin City, and it is possible to run out and sneak attack. For example, now, the 78th Division has gone to the direction of the county town, and each of the two cities has sent 10,000 men to attack our grain route, are we going to take the risk of fighting more with less?" Ding Kui was able to keep calm.

"Why not, the 78th Division is not afraid of one against two. Luo Tao is full of confidence.

"Yes, yes, the enemy will definitely fight and run, and will not give you a chance. "Ding Kui was not led crooked by Luo Tao, tactical possibilities and combat effectiveness are two different things.

Due to the large number of mounds, the wall is relatively easy to build, the watchtower does not need to be built too high, and it does not take long for a military fortress to rise from the ground, relying on Baiqiu Town to have multiple fortifications, which is much stronger than the temporary camp in the field.

"Fan Yuzhen!" When Ding Kui returned to the Chinese military tent, he encountered the first brigade of the 75th Division in the whole team.

"Humble duty!" Fan Yuzhen regarded Ding Kui as a corps-level commander, and there was no need for "subordinate" in the title.

"You lead the team to the south, sweep through the nearby towns, drive the enemy scouts a little farther away, and return to camp before midnight. Ding Kui suddenly remembered that Fan Yuzhen's team had learned a lot of tricks recently, which were most suitable for use now, so he sent them out.

"Yes! ”

"Lord Ding, do you need to sweep the north side? "The second captain, Geng Zhizhong, ran over to join in the fun.

"No need, there won't be a few scouts over there, you can't be idle, watch the gate in the middle of the night, I can find Staff Officer Zhang to change the shift." "Ding Kui is no stranger to the people of the 75th Division now, and he has basically met with each other.

"Don't be idle, don't be idle, go back to the camp immediately to check the preparedness. Geng Zhizhong immediately slipped away, and few captains were willing to go to the gate.

Ding Kui smiled and led Fei Ze and the others into the Chinese military tent.

"How can I keep the pressure on and not let my Kou worry about Giant Sheep City?" he asked Fei Ze after sitting down.

This time he took the initiative to ask to gnaw hard bones, he was somewhat selfish, and if he could put enough pressure on the county area, his army would not be able to free up his hands to deal with Giant Sheep City, otherwise Giant Sheep City would suffer a retaliatory attack from his own army at any time.

Mainly because there are too many medium-sized warships in our army, the Chunlu Bay Water Village is very important to control the waters around Juyang City, and it can be said that the Tongyuan River in the southern section of Nannuma Prefecture is within the control of the Chunlu Bay Water Village.

The Chunluwan Water Village is in the hands of its own army, and the giant sheep city is the meat on the chopping board, and it may be cut at any time.

"Can you let Ding Yu and Ao Yan cooperate at any time?" Fei Ze did not answer Ding Kui immediately, but asked a question first.

"Yes!" Ding Kui nodded very dryly. He didn't have to explain to Fei Ze how to contact the two.

Fei Ze took out a map of Chunlu City and hung it on the shelf, "Focus on Chunlu City," he pointed out a few places, "First control the upper reaches of the Chunlu River, force back the enemy warships on the river, and open up the connection with Port City, so that the enemy commander will be vigilant and dare not cross the Chunlu River at will."

Next, you can march to the junction of Chunlu City and the county town, you don't need to capture any location, you just need to let Ding Yu and Ao Yan show up at the south ferry at the right time, put on the posture that our army wants to cut off the connection between the county town and Chunlu City, and use troops back and forth in this area, forcing the enemy army and our army to fight repeatedly. ”

After saying two o'clock, he stopped and looked at Ding Kui.

"Forcing back the warship, this is no problem at all, it's time to strike at the arrogance of the enemy navy. ”

Ding Kui knew what Fei Ze meant, the battle plan was one thing, and whether it could be executed was another, and Fei Ze could only estimate the combat effectiveness of the troops commanded by Ding Kui.

"It's not too much of a problem to attack the junction of the county town and Chunlu City, but I can't guarantee the control of the sky, and there are a large number of magicians who can be mobilized after the shrinkage of Jikou, and the enemy army can grasp the whereabouts of our army in advance, and it can't fight a surprise battle. ”

"Just contain the enemy, with the current strength of Baiqiu Town, you don't need to think about annihilating a large number of enemy troops for the time being, you should be able to meet your requirements. Fei Ze did not overstep his bounds and changed the tactical purpose for Ding Kui.

"Our strength will only increase, not decrease, there are tens of thousands of recruits in the base camp training, and there are still 20,000 people in Yangyuan Prefecture to escort the baggage south, and the chief of staff will make full use of it. Ding Kui also knew that a mere 30,000 troops couldn't do much.

"That depends on the Chief of Staff's arrangement. ”

Fei Ze knew very well that he was not in his position and did not seek his own affairs, Jiang Zhi could get more information than him, and he knew more about the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Legion, and it was difficult for him to predict Jiang Zhi's thoughts.

The chief of staff of the Eighth Army Corps was not in Xixuan City at this time, and Jiang Zhi was rushing to Jiecheng with a team of personal soldiers. In order to start a war with his own army on all fronts, he must first understand the situation of the Kong army and the 21st Army Corps.

Jiang Xi's secret visit put forward a clear goal, it is best to end the battle in Nanqiu County within the year, the remaining more than a month is too tight, and 200,000 people will be eaten when the strength is about the same, and it is not a good battle for anyone to command.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Shu Li led his troops eastward, encountered many scouts on the way, observed their movements from a distance, and ran away immediately without waiting for the Shaodian army to approach, keeping a safe distance from the 78th Division.

Ten miles away, the 78th Division finished in one meal, and a camp that could not be seen appeared in front of them.

"Really, fake? How many soldiers and horses must be in such a large barracks?" Shu Li stood up on horseback, and put his hand on the pergola to look into the distance.

He saw that there were many military flags in front of him, and the edge of the military camp was beyond his sight.

"Hahaha, the prediction of the prince of the world is accurate, and he really met an acquaintance. He saw the banner of the Northern Fifth Army in the barracks, especially a handsome flag embroidered with the word "seal" was particularly conspicuous.

First of all, the possibility of sending Yudi in the barracks, Nanqiu County is like this, the commander usually sits in the county town, and does not need to be sent to the outer barracks to command; secondly, Feng Runnai is the commander of the legion, he will send out the command at the theater level if he does not command, and the peripheral military camp does not need to be so high-level command; finally, the strength of the five legions in the north is the most suitable here, and it is reasonable for Feng Run to appear.

Woo woo, the siren sounded in the camp of the army, and the battle flags were raised one after another in the camp on the side of the Shaodian army, and there were troops preparing for battle inside.

"Stop!" Shu Li ordered to stop advancing, "Crane Wing Array is on standby!" and ordered the troops to set up a Crane Wing Formation.

The 78th Division set up an offensive formation with the flag as the midpoint, and Shu Li always stared at his own army's gate.

"Ouch, Feng Run didn't plan to go out of the camp to face the battle!" Shu Li looked at it for a long time, and the gate on the opposite side was still closed, "Change the formation, and the archers will advance to the attack area." He decided to make a tentative attack.

has come here, and he can't turn around and go back when he sees Feng Run's handsome banner, and the troops of the Eighth Army are not used to this.

Two thousand archers came out of the changing formation of the Shaodian army, without the protection of other troops, and they were neatly arranged close to the camp of their own army.

If you want to attack, you have to go to at least 800 paces, and pure archers are easy to attract enemy surprise attacks, so Shu Li tested the attitude of the defenders by the way.

The gate of the army has been closed, and when the young army approached, the whistle sounded loudly in the barracks, rows of archers appeared on the camp wall, and dozens of black dots were seen flying into the air.

"Damn, at least dozens of giant trebuchets!" Shu Li judged from experience that the black dots were stone projectiles fired by trebuchets.

Of course, the first wave of stone bullets was not accurate, and it was dozens of meters away from the archers of the Shaodian army.

"Sound the gong and order the archers to withdraw! It seems that Feng Run can't hold out, let's turn around and take a look. ”
