"Staff Officer Sun, did you have any new battle reports last night?" Jiang Xi was still in Jianyang City, dealing with the latest information sent from all over the country before preparing to go to Nanjing City.

"Yes," Sun Jianing is Jiang Xi's accompanying staff officer, equivalent to the role of a private secretary, "Yesterday, the prince had a big move, first a surprise attack to capture Huatong City, and then an ambush of 20,000 cavalry, and finally a night attack on Baiting City, at this moment should have occupied Baiting City." ”

Jiang Zhi will be notified as soon as several major battles in Nanqiu County are over, and Jiang Zhi will send it to Jiang Xi after sorting it out, so Sun Jianing can learn the latest battle report.

"Hehe, don't kill him, it should be Jiang Zhi who helps him behind his back, fighting three battles in a day and mobilizing tens of thousands of troops to cooperate, this is already a commander-level command ability. Jiang Xi was very satisfied with the results.

"The news from the chief of staff said that it was the plan of the prince. ”

"Don't you understand? The old man in the legion wants to praise Kui'er as an honorary commander, and of course the credit is given to Kui'er first, in fact, they don't have to be like this, just because Kui'er is the dominant knight, he is qualified to be an honorary commander. Jiang Xi raised his hand to stop Sun Jianing from continuing to argue.

He didn't think that the current Ding Kui would be able to command such a large-scale operation.

"Well, there's a new battle report in Wangzhou as well. Sun Jianing pulled out the document at the bottom of his hand, "Yesterday, the Tenth Army was defeated. ”

"What?" the smile on Jiang Xi's face disappeared instantly, "With the Ninth Legion on the side, how could the Tenth Legion be defeated?"

"That's all the news from the capital. Sun Jianing looked at the short line on the document, and he couldn't figure out why this was happening.

The 10th Army suffered a great loss in Cao State, and normally it had not yet recovered, but due to the fierce fighting situation, Zhenwangzhou was threatened by the rebels, so it rushed to the battlefield after recruiting new soldiers. They cooperated with the Ninth Army very well, even if they faced an enemy several times their size, they would not be defeated, not to mention that there were also the Fourth and Fifteenth Army Corps nearby.

This battle was just fought yesterday, and it is normal that there is no detailed battle report to Yangyuan Prefecture, and it is estimated that the people in the commander's mansion in the capital are not very clear.

In fact, the Tenth Army was defeated by a special force from the Kuril Alliance, known as the Giant Shark Legion, which is one of the most elite armies of the Kuril Alliance.

This legion has special equipment, and the materials used are all derived from a type of deep-sea shark, hence the name Giant Shark Legion.

Their armor was made of shark skin, which was as defensive as fine armor, but weighed less than the leather armor worn by archers, making it the lightest high-defense armor, and the weapon they wielded was a bone spear, made from the bones of the same shark, and was so hard that it weighed only one-third of the weight of a regular military spear.

Because the number of that deep-sea shark is small, the entire Kuril Alliance can only be equipped into one legion, so only the toughest samurai are eligible to join the Giant Shark Legion.

The Tenth Legion was too arrogant, and the first time it encountered the army of the Thousand Islands Alliance, it didn't take the Giant Shark Legion into account at all, plus the Giant Shark Legion had its own unique tactics, which were specially used to deal with the cavalry, and the Tenth Legion was defeated as soon as it engaged.

It wasn't until many Shaodian armies fought with the Giant Shark Legion that the characteristics of this Thousand Islands Alliance army were gradually discovered.

The defeat of the 10th Army shocked the government and the opposition, and it soon reached Ding Kui through special channels.

"The Commander-in-Chief probably knows the news as well, and should have rushed to warn us not to despise the enemy. Ding Kui mentioned the Tenth Legion in the small talk in Baiting City.

"It was the Ninth Legion that was defeated before, and now that the Tenth Legion has been defeated even worse, are they still worthy to be compared to us?" Bloomer was very disdainful, and had always been hostile to the elite legions of the two royal families.

"Many elite legions have vain reputations, like the three northern legions, I don't feel how strong their combat effectiveness is. Shu Li thought of the battle in Huatong City.

Ma Zhi objectively evaluated: "Actually, the 30th Northern Division is not weak, and the 6,000 people defending the city against our 20,000 people also held out for a long time, and they did not surrender until the special operations battalion of the horses went out to fight." ”

"The special operations battalion is really powerful, I don't have such an elite brigade under my command, and the weapons they use, Shizi, Ding Shuai, can you give me a little?"

"Me too!" Bloomer spread his palms with Ma Ju.

"Well, let's talk about this later, I don't have enough of it myself! The materials for the crossbow are hard to find, especially the bowstring is particularly difficult to make, and half of my Protector Red Army is not equipped with it. "Ding Kui has extra strong crossbows for them.

"I see that your special operations battalions are all extremely powerful, and you have a special knack for training them, right?" Shu Li paid close attention to the special operations battalion.

"Indeed, this team has spent a lot of gold coins, and has also cultivated the Ding family's body refining secrets, and in terms of physical fitness, they are all comparable to the warriors of the generals, not the regular army can train. ”

Ding Kui's words disappointed Hua Mo, Shu Li and Ma Ju a little, this kind of condition is too harsh.

"It's a pity that it can't be promoted in the legion, but then again, it's rare to lose such a troop, otherwise how can we have the face to claim to be the elite of the kingdom?" Shu Li comforted himself.

"If there are ten special operations battalions, you can sweep any division in the country, forget it, don't think about this. Shizi, what should we do next? Shall we attack Jiaxin City or Huatong City?" Hua Mo only fought one battle, strictly speaking, it could only be regarded as half a battle, and he was not very willing.

"Next, the enemy army should organize a counterattack, and there is no chance to give us another city, but the Xixuan City side must go to support, otherwise the military camp that has been built so hard will be occupied by the enemy. "Ding Kui once again disappointed everyone.

His plan revolves around Xixuan City, and the capture of Baiting City is already one of the best results, and there is no energy left to continue to expand the results.

Baiting City is located in the outermost part of the area occupied by the own army, and it is the farthest away from the mobile strength of the own army, and it needs to spend several times the strength to rescue, but the forces of the Shaodian Kingdom can be thrown over at any time.

"In that case, I'll stay here, and you go to Xixuan City. Shu Li offered to stay.

His troops need to rest and recuperate after days of fighting, and they should also give up the opportunity to Hua Mo and leave Ding Kui with the impression that he can be a man.

First of all, the remnants of the Northern Fifth Army Corps rushed to Xixuancheng to defend the last city in the Fengrun defense area; secondly, two additional divisions of the Northern Third Army Corps were sent to Huatong City to firmly hold the place where there were minerals; finally, the Northern Fourth Army Corps gave up attacking the boundary city and built fortifications on the line of Jizhou City, Ximu City and Wangxia City.

The 72nd and 76th Divisions failed to reach Xixuancheng before their own troops, resulting in the Dongda Camp falling into the hands of their own troops, and Dong Ba, Wang Chou, and Zhang Dingyuan could only hold the Nan Daying, West Daying, and North Daying camp.

Jiang Zhi ordered the 72nd, 73rd, and 76th Divisions under Ding Kui's command to attack Xixuancheng, the 71st Division returned to Qinglan City to standby, the 75th Division remained in Kada City, and the 74th Division was still responsible for transporting baggage.

Luo Tao captured Yeliu Town with the help of Hengfu City, and Liu Yu organized nearly 50,000 people to assist the 77th Division in building a military fortress in the town and firmly guarding the exit of the swamp.

The Red Army under the command of Zhong Wei was replenished, with six full-strength crossbow battalions and four infantry battalions, as well as four auxiliary battalions, with a total strength of 7,000 men, and cooperated with the 79th Division to put pressure on the Humpshan West Pass.

Jiang Xi, commander of the Nannuma Prefecture Theater, finally arrived in Nanjing, and first ordered the construction of a theater camp in Huashan County, so that the baggage troops of the New 11th Army Corps could rush to the theater camp; then signed a letter of appointment, appointing Ding Kui, the chief knight, as the honorary commander of the Eighth Army Corps; and finally ordered the Kong Army to take over the boundary city, and the 21st Army Corps went to the theater camp to wait, and the 20th Army Corps held the southern border.

The northern army launched an attack on the border of Nannuma, threatening to start an all-out war without peace talks, and more troops gathered near the southern border of Shaodian State, posing as a gesture of expanding the war.

"Oh, that series of battles was really planned by Ding Kui. Jiang Xi received a detailed report from Jiang Xi, "Well, only he can think of mobilizing the spy department and local people."

Hehe, that's good, through the fact that there are no war horses in Xixuancheng, he thinks of the deployment of the enemy's commander, takes advantage of the enemy's loss of reconnaissance ability to fight sports warfare, and also sets traps specifically for war horses.

It seems that my nephew initially has the ability to command the legion, and with Jiang Zhi's assistance, there is no problem at all in throwing the Eighth Legion to him, and I will save a lot of trouble. ”

"My lord, what are you going to do with Fu Dun and the others?" asked Sun Jianing.

Fu Dun and the others were later sent to the General Staff Headquarters, where they were interrogated by the Judge Advocate General's Department, and they were found to have violated a number of military laws and sentenced to death by hanging in accordance with military regulations. These men included officers and soldiers, and the sentence of hanging required the approval of the regimental commander-in-chief.

"Hmph, what is the Fu family, they are so uninteresting, they dare to disobey even Ding Kui's orders, I don't need to give them face, behead it." Jiang Xi read the file, but there were more things, and he forgot to deal with it for a while, and Sun Jianing didn't dare to remind him.

"That Shizi killed Zhong Jiong......"

To be honest, Ding Kui's killing of Zhong Jiong lacked real evidence, and Jiang Xi had to be notified procedurally, and the military judge had a lot of complaints about this matter. If it weren't for the fact that Ding Kui had a quarrel with the military judge back then, and the Eighth Army was Ding Kui's world, there would have been trouble for the military judge to find Ding Kui.

"Ah, young man. Jiang Xi shook his head slightly, "Kill it, kill it, if the military judge has an opinion, you can come to me, shouldn't the person who delayed the military plane die?"

"Understood, the lowly will be dealt with properly. ”

Sun Jianing's position is not high, and he does not dare to make decisions without authorization, and he must have Jiang Xi's statement before he dares to act according to Jiang Xi's wishes.

Ding Kui didn't know that Jiang Xi was helping him wipe his buttocks, and he was having a headache with insufficient magicians in his hands, Xia Fan ran to Xixuancheng to deal with him and Ao Yu, and gathered all the remaining magicians of the Northern Fifth Legion, and the magic power of defending the city was dominant.

The Northern Third Army sent additional magicians to Hump Mountain to block Tan Shang, Ding Kun, Shi Jiang and Ao Yan.
