"That's right, we have the initiative to attack, and the enemy has to jump even if he knows it's a hole dug by adults. I don't know what your lord's plan is?" Of course, Lin Xuanmo had a certain strategic vision to enter the staff of the Eighth Army Corps, but he still didn't know what medicine was sold in Ding Kui's gourd.

"This pit is relatively shallow for the time being, and the enemy will not perceive the danger, so whether it can be a clever plan depends on the cooperation of all parties. Ding Kui sold a pass, "The task of supplying the divisions and regiments will be handed over to Staff Officer Lin, and Staff Officer Zhang will organize the existing cavalry and go around the line of Baiting City and Jiaxin City. ”

"Yes!" the two staff officers turned their energies back to their tasks.

The first phase of the combat mission of the Eighth Army Corps is to quickly open up the connection with Hengfu City, in order to facilitate the operation, each division and regiment only carries half a month's grain and grass, and half of it has been consumed so far, and timely replenishment of grain, grass, ordnance, and other materials can stabilize the morale of the army and carry out new combat missions.

Ding Kui had a certain basis for killing Zhong Jiong on the charge of delaying the military plane, and the main responsibility of the 74th Division was to escort the baggage, and he let Lin Xuanmo establish his prestige in order to be the shopkeeper, and he could hand over the task of distributing supplies to Lin Xuanmo.

Lin Xuanmo now has a descendant army, and the Red Army has transferred two infantry battalions, these 1,000 people are not only familiar with the place but also have combat effectiveness, and the key is to be obedient, which is much better than the original heavy cavalry brigade.

Sun Yilei is also in a good mood, the two most hated colleagues were killed and the other was arrested, the future of the 74th Division is bright again, and in Port City, the heavy cavalry brigade has become an elite cavalry brigade, although the mount remains in Kada City, but it is not necessary to attack Hump Mountain.

Fan Yuzhen got her wish to get the combat mission, ambush and intercept the enemy scouts from Baiting City to Xixuancheng, the scale of the battle was a little smaller, it was better than staying in Kada City for training.

"Didn't Staff Officer Zhang lead thousands of cavalry into battle? Why didn't they intercept and kill the enemy scouts?" Jia Ziyuan muttered to Jiao Mingguang.

"Staff Officer Zhang went out to show the enemy, what do you think, Lord Ding is idle in the city by himself, how can the combat mission be commanded by Staff Officer Zhang?

We are fighting the enemy with real swords and guns, what are you not satisfied with? You know that you can't catch up with others, so you won't do it later?"

Jiao Mingguang counted down Jiaziyuan one by one, and just now the fourth squadron ambushed the enemy scouts and attacked too early, and as a result, the enemy was scared away and couldn't catch up.

Bang, Fan Yuzhen jumped from a big tree with a giant axe, "The fourth squadron is responsible for digging the dung pit for the next two days. She announced an order with a dark face.

It's not easy to encounter enemy scouts, although there is only a small team, but it is the result of the first brigade ambushing for half a day, seeing that half a day's efforts have been in vain, as the captain of the team, she can't wait to chop Koshien with an axe.

"Ah!" Koshien wailed, "My lord, my subordinates would like to go to the outside of Baiting City at night to touch a few secret sentinels!"

"Save it, just your ability, if the enemy army is prepared, the entire brigade will be dragged down by you. Jiao Mingguang pressed Jiaziyuan's head with one hand and didn't let him continue to speak.

“......”

Boundary City.

Zhang Jie and Zhao Touch went out of the city together to greet a team of people.

"Zhang Jie (Zhao Touch) See Master Kong. The two saluted an old man in white.

"The two generals don't have to be polite," the old man in white bent down five steps away, "I hope the old man is not late." ”

"It's not too late, it's not too late, my lord is here at the right time, with the addition of the Kong family's army, our army can launch a counteroffensive. ”

Zhang Jie and Zhao Touch led the way for the old man in white and invited him into the boundary city.

"I heard that the Eighth Army has recaptured two cities in a row, which has dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of our own invaders, and we should take advantage of the situation to attack and recover the occupied territory. The old man in white agreed with Zhang Jie's opinion.

This old man was Kong Cheng, the commander of the Kong family's army, and when he learned that the Eighth Army had entered Nanqiu County, he immediately followed the forward troops to Jiecheng.

The 30,000 forward troops of the Kong family army plus more than 40,000 people of the 20th Army Corps were no longer inferior to their own troops outside the city, and Dong Xun arrived with the magicians of the Southern Demon Branch with Kong Cheng, which greatly boosted the morale of the Shaodian army.

For a period of time, the own army attacking the boundary city had Ban Tu in charge, which overwhelmed the magicians of the Shaodian Kingdom, and if it weren't for the timely arrival of the magicians of Yanling County and Jinping County, the boundary city might have fallen.

"At present, the enemy forces are shrinking their forces for defense, and the effect is relatively obvious, the Eighth Army Corps is blocked in Xixuancheng and Hump Mountain, and there is still no progress in the attack of six divisions......

Zhang Jie gave Kong Cheng a brief introduction to the current situation of Nanqiu County.

"Master Dong and I are here to help the Eighth Legion open up the situation. The total strength of the enemy army was more than 300,000, of which 200,000 were used to resist the Eighth Army, 100,000 were used to occupy the area, and the remaining 50,000 or 60,000 gathered here to attack the boundary city. If we can break through the enemy forces here and attract our own forces to defend against us, the Eighth Army will face fewer difficulties. "Kong Cheng originally had the information provided by Nanjing City.

"Recently, the Eighth Army seems to have moved, Ding Kui is secretly preparing, his private army, Nanqiu County local armed forces and the spy department are all involved, and we are also asked to do our best to contain the enemy army. Your arrival should be of greater help. "Zhang Jie received a summons from Ding Kui.

"You are better than the old man, you can bring out such an outstanding and young general as Ding Kui, a total of less than five years of hard work. ”

"In the end, it will be just lucky, if Ding Kui had learned from you back then, his achievements might be even higher now. Zhang Jie didn't dare to be greedy.

"Don't be modest about this, luck is one thing, there are few people who dare to boldly use Ding Kui, and the old man will not dare to let the only son of the Marquis of the Protector lead the troops deep behind the enemy, once the Jiang Long family comes to the door, the head of the family will not be able to protect me." ”

Kong Cheng really didn't have the guts, Ding Kui had just married Long Yan when he went to the battlefield, and there was a lot of pressure from within the Kong family.

“......”

The boundary city set aside a special area for the Confucian army to settle in, and planted all the banners of the Confucian army on the tower of the southern city to confuse the own army outside the city.

Not to mention that this trick is very useful, my army retreated five miles that night, leaving enough safe space for myself.

Naturally, someone sent the news of Kong Cheng's arrival to Kada City, and Lang Nunu also informed Ding Kui as soon as possible.

"Aha, that way my plan can be more perfect. Li Fei, inform the chief of staff as planned. Ding Kui was overjoyed.

Since the 74th and 75th divisions had no combat missions, their magicians were recruited by the General Staff, which was equivalent to saying that Ding Kui had no magicians under him, so Ding Kui privately recruited several magicians, mainly responsible for simple reconnaissance and transmission of information, including Qianyou and Li Fei.

It is normal to transfer Qian Youlai, after all, he has cooperated with Ding Kui for a long time, and it is the selfishness of Ding Kui and Huan Qiao to come to Tuo Li Fei, and neither of them wants Li Fei to be in a dangerous battlefield.

Li Fei's method of informing Jiang Zhi was very simple, just send it directly to the magician in the staff department, which was more effective than sending a telegram.

That night, the 72nd Division stationed in Qinglan City changed guards with the 80th Division, and the next morning, Hua Mo waved his division north, thanks to the 75th Division's suppression of their own scouts, and was not discovered by their own troops until Baiting City.

Qiao Meng asked Jiang Zhi, "What if the enemy sends heavy troops to attack Hump Mountain and wants to recapture Port City?" Jiang Zhi's answer was very simple, "Then give it to the enemy." ”

In fact, Ding Kui had repeatedly discussed with Jiang Zhi the possible reaction of his army, and the worst case scenario was that his army occupied Port City again, and the 79th Division and the Protector Red Army could retreat to Qinglan City, and the 74th Division would leave the baggage to the 75th Division and advance to the headquarters of the Qinglan City Defense Corps. Qinglan City is guarded by 40,000 soldiers and horses, plus several master-level masters, there will definitely be no problem.

When Yu Di first got the news, he had the idea of attacking Port City, but the news that the Kong family's army had assembled in Boundary City had not been confirmed, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Port City is an easy place to attack and difficult to defend, and it's not worth the effort to risk it.

"My lord, Xixuancheng came to report that Feng Run led 10,000 infantry into the city, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry were stationed in the barracks. Zhang Dingyuan took the latest battle report.

"Well, here's your chance. Ding Kui took a deep breath, "The Kong family army exerted pressure on the northern front, the 72nd Division was pressing on Baiting City, the 79th Division was still pressing Hump Mountain, the 77th Division was threatening Juyang City, and the forces of both the enemy and us were basically concentrated in Xixuancheng.

The enemy army can still transfer at least 20,000 troops to Xixuancheng, and the fastest troops should be in the county city and Jizhou City. I think the Security Service and the Intelligence Department should be ready, and then the plan can be carried out. ”

"My lord, what is your plan?" Lin Xuanmo thought about it all day but didn't come up with it, "Feng Run brought a war horse to Xixuancheng." ”

"Yes, it's not that the war horse hasn't entered the city, and Xixuancheng still doesn't have the ability to investigate. Ding Kui drew a circle on the map with a pen and tapped the second section of his right index finger into the circle, "The first step in my plan is to take this place." ”

Lin Xuanmo fixed his eyes and saw that there was a city in the circle, a copper city.

"Raid behind enemy lines and capture Huatong City!" he opened his mouth wide, "No, my lord must have other ideas." ”

"Hahaha, of course there is, I'll talk about this then, let's go!"

Ding Kui personally led a team of men and horses to leave Kada City.

That night, a group of men and horses quietly slipped into the barracks of the 73rd Division.

"Let's go, Brother Yu, tonight is your time to shine your might. ”

Ding Kui and Ao Yu disappeared without notifying anyone.

"Inform all troops, carry out the latest orders of the General Staff and the Honorary Commander-in-Chief. Jiang Zhi gave an order at the command.

In Nanjing City, Shao Dianmi knocked on the door of the Southern Demon Branch, "The Espionage Department has an urgent mission." ”

In the boundary city, Kong Cheng took the information sent by Zhang Jie, "Okay, just follow his plan." ”

In the military camp north of Xixuancheng, Shu Li sat on a horse in military uniform, waved his hand and ordered: "Go!"

On Huatong Mountain, Shao Dianfei, who was full of scum, spread out a small paper scroll, silently read the jerky words on the paper, and then raised his head, his eyes shining, "Finally it's my turn to appear." ”

Outside the city of Nanqiu County, Ding Zhong got into the grass, groped on the ground for a while, and suddenly lifted a wooden plank with force, revealing the black hole below, "Fortunately, this secret passage has not been discovered." ”
