Chapter 1018: Finally Solve the Trap of Port City
Jiang Zhi looked at the elegant and pretty girl in front of him in surprise, if it weren't for the magician robe, it was really not much different from the little girl next door.
"It turned out to be Miss Ao, I have long heard that you are a friend of the prince, it is better to be famous than to meet, I didn't expect you to be so young. He couldn't see how dangerous Ao Yan was, and the soldiers guarding the headquarters were like a big enemy just now.
Ao Yan opened the jade palm, and a document appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it flashed to the desktop in front of Jiang Zhi, "Brother Kui wrote it to you, I hope you will reply as soon as possible." She was not good at dealing with strangers, and completely ignored Jiang Zhi's polite words.
"Oh, hehe, okay. Jiang Zhi licked his lips awkwardly and picked up the paperwork to take a quick look.
"With the addition of six hundred new magicians, all the men and horses are almost in place, and it is time to break through Sancha Town. Jiang Zhi picked up the pen and wrote it on the paper, wrote three military orders in a row, and stamped them with the chief of staff's ribbon seal and put them in the envelope.
"Trouble Miss Ao to bring this military order back, Jiang is inconvenient to stay. He didn't say anything polite to Ao Yan, and the other two military orders were handed over to his subordinates.
Ao Yan took the envelope, put it into the space ring, nodded at Jiang Zhi, and left without saying a word.
What big moves are being planned by the Shaodian country, and the own country has not stopped.
As soon as Ao Yan left the port city, all the soldiers and horses of the battalion in the south of the city were all out and moved to the west of the city, and the camp in the north of the city also sent a team of men and horses to the west of the city to respond.
Ding Kui and others wanted to go out of the city to check, but they were intercepted by Hao Dong and others, and the master masters and magicians of both sides quickly assembled and came to the west of the city to confront each other.
"Are these guys deliberately vacating the south to lure us into escaping to Hengfu City?" Ding Kui was puzzled by his army's unusual behavior.
"Besieging Sanji is a commonly used siege method, and it cannot be ruled out that the enemy army is worried that we will go out of the city to attack Sancha Town, we can think of it, and the enemy can also think of it. Tan Shang was not surprised.
"Did they notice that Yanmei was leaving?" Ding Kui couldn't be sure.
"Possibly, the wolf-faced woman has a strong sense of perception. ”
At the tactical level, only Tan Shang and Ding Kui were discussing, and Ding Kun, Ao Yu and Shi Jiang couldn't interject.
"There is also a possibility that the enemy will transfer the elite of Sancha Town to forcibly attack the city, and it is better to lose Sancha Town than to take Port City. "Ding Kui had to guard against his own madness.
"Although Miss Ao is not here, she will be able to rush back soon, Sancha Town is not far from here, we can hold out until reinforcements arrive, and it is impossible for the enemy to break through Port City. "Tan Shang asked Ao Yan to go to Qinglan City, just because she was fast.
Ding Kun asked, "Do you need to send a strong crossbow battalion to the west of the city?"
"No, it's dark, and the poor line of sight affects the accuracy of the crossbow, and the 71st Division can hold it. Ding Kui didn't see that his army had plans to attack the city, and decided to respond to all changes with no change.
"Huh, is the enemy going to build a barracks overnight?" Shi will have the best eyesight at night except for Ding Kui.
"What are you doing? Come and toss at night, aren't you afraid that I will send cavalry to charge the camp?" Ding Kui became more and more unable to understand the actions of his own army.
Hum, there was a storm of energy in the distance.
"! all retreat, just hold the city wall and not be attacked!" Ding Kui immediately led people back to the city.
He saw Ban Di hiding behind the crowd and preparing for the forbidden spell, but at this time, there was one less Ao Yan, and there was no advantage in fighting hard, so he chose to avoid it.
The people of their own country forced Ding Kui and others back to the city and stopped, they didn't plan to attack the city at night, Ban Di's forbidden spell was to scare people, and Ding Kui had to eat this set.
When Ao Yan returned, Hao Dong and the others consciously stayed away from the city wall and hid behind the newly built wall.
"Staff Officer Jiang agreed that we would abandon Port City and go out of the city overnight to attack Sancha Town. Ding Kui finished reading the military order.
"Is the enemy planning to go to support Sancha Town?" Tan Shang looked at the military camp in the distance, and knew that it was very difficult to get out of the city now.
"I don't think so, they are more like the enemy army retreating in Sancha Town!" Ding Kui figured it out for a moment, "We can give up the port city that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and they can also give up, then the enemy army in Sancha Town must be withdrawn, and only by blocking us can we ensure the safety of the retreating troops." ”
This inference is correct, Feng Run left 10,000 local troops to defend Sancha Town, and he rushed to Port City at full speed with more than 40,000 men and horses of the Northern Fifth Army.
Shu Li and others received Jiang Zhi's military order, and immediately organized troops to attack Sancha Town, at first encountered desperate resistance from the enemy, and finally attacked the town after thousands of magicians, but the enemy lit a fire, and Sancha Town soon became a sea of fire.
Looking at the steady stream of soldiers and horses bypassing the port city, Dong Ba was restless and asked Ding Kui: "What should I do? Seeing the enemy flee? I can lead the army out of the city to entangle the enemy army, and it is impossible for these tens of thousands of people to run away at once." ”
"You also know that there are tens of thousands of people outside, although the enemy army has retreated but has not been defeated, and there is still morale to fight to the death, even if the enemy army is dragged back, what should I do if the 71st Division is exhausted? I will not do anything to exchange a division for a regiment!" Ding Kui's attitude was quite resolute.
"Well, I won't do it if I exchange a division for a legion!" Tan Shang secretly praised, "The Eighth Legion will not be cut off if it is handed over to him." ”
The retreat of his army did not mean to escape, under the personal command of Yu Di, Feng Run led the main force of the Northern Fifth Army into the military camp in the west of the city, and immediately took over the construction and defense of the military camp, and the men and horses of the Northern Third Army Corps retreated to the original military camp.
A large number of magicians from the Northern Fifth Army ignited Sancha Town before flying to Port City, and Yudi waited until they ordered Gong Jun to lead the local army to retreat into Hump Mountain, and the 26th and 27th Divisions set fire to the South Camp and transferred the East Camp.
With the fire of the southern camp, Feng Run left 20,000 people to stick to the west camp, and he led the rest to transfer to the north camp, and the 21st and 22nd divisions boarded the warships overnight to cross the Chunlu River and retreated to Chunlu City.
After all the warships were withdrawn, Feng Run led people to take over the East Battalion, the 26th and 27th Divisions retreated to Hump Mountain, the newly built West Battalion was set on fire, and the remaining men and horses moved to the North Battalion.
After a night of commotion outside the port city, when the sky was white, the men and horses of the 77th Division rushed into the West Camp to extinguish the fire, and then Ding Kui ordered the 71st Division to attack.
Dong Ba, who had been holding back all night, came out of the gate like a fierce tiger and rushed into the eastern camp of his army in a hurry, but he was pounced, the enemy camp was empty, and a fire immediately ignited.
Fortunately, Tan Shang followed behind and used magic to open a passage for the 71st Division to escape from the fire.
Ding Kui, Ding Kun, Ao Yu, Ao Yan and Shi General led 900 magicians to encounter Hao Dong, Lang Chun, Xia Fan, Blue Eye Mask, Ban Tu and 500 magicians of their own country in Beidaying.
It was noon when the main force of the Eighth Army arrived in Port City, Ding Kui led the crowd out of the city to greet him, and Shu Li, Luo Tao and other generals forced Ding Kui to review the troops.
The 76th, 77th, 78th, and 79th Divisions lined up outside the ruins of the smoky barracks, and the officers and men were all in good spirits and radiant, and the shouts of "Eighth Army, courage to protect the country!" resounded throughout the world.
In the end, the 71st Division couldn't hold back, and all ran out to line up, strongly asking Ding Kui to review it again.
Ding Kui held back tears of excitement, his eyes swept over every officer and soldier, and immediately announced after the review: "Everyone is stationed in Port City, and I will celebrate the whole army tonight!"
After Qinglancheng received the good news, Hua Mo came to urge Jiang Zhi, "Chief of Staff, are we not going to set off yet?" ”
"Well, it's not yet possible to move the headquarters to Port City, which is a frontline city. The baggage of the whole army must be sent to Port City through here, and the enemy army has assembled in Xixuancheng, and they can come to the city within half a day. General Hua, don't worry, or I will arrange for Ding Kui to command and receive the seal letter from the 74th Division. Jiang Zhi could understand Hua Mo's feelings.
Someone is more anxious than Hua Mo, that is, the officers and soldiers of the 75th Division, Fan Yuzhen received the order of Xinying and hurried to Kada City with the 75th Division.
"How is it? What exactly does the chief of staff mean? Last time he told us to find a way, is there a decision now?" Jiao Mingguang asked vigorously on the way.
"Lao Jiao, I have said many times that the order of the chief of staff is to assist in the defense of Kada City, which is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the city lord, and the order does not say anything about the division commander. Fan Yuzhen was annoyed by that guy.
After entering the city, Jiao Mingguang went out for a walk, and when he came back, he brought all the squadron leaders to find Fan Yuzhen.
"Good news, Captain, our efforts have not been in vain!" Jiao Mingguang smiled from ear to ear.
Fan Yuzhen just felt out the crumpled military order, and was about to stuff it to Jiao Mingguang again, but when she heard him say this, she was stunned, "What good news? What is not in vain? There is no new military order in the General Staff." ”
"You don't know. Jiao Mingguang said mysteriously, "Little Hou Ye has been promoted to dominate the knight!"
"Of course, this is a happy event, but what does it have to do with our efforts?"
"Hehe, there are rumors that Dong Ba wants to nominate Xiao Hou Ye as the honorary commander, and he is already the commander of the 74th Division, so he can also be in charge of the 75th Division. Jiao Mingguang met the liaison officer of the 71st Division in the city.
Liang Xuan, Jiang Tong and other squadron leaders asked together, "What honorary commander?"
Jiao Mingguang stared at Fan Yuzhen deadly.
"Didn't you say that, why are you looking at me?" Fan Yuzhen pushed Jiao Mingguang.
"You really don't know?" Jiao Mingguang originally wanted Fan Yuzhen to explain and give the commander a face, "That's an honorary title, a means for each legion to win over sixth-level combat power, but it has important significance for special people."
For example, the little marquis, he has a very high influence in the army, and being an honorary commander is similar to a regular commander, the key is that everyone listens to what he says. He gives you orders, don't you obey?"
"Of course I do, I understand! I respect him as an honorary commander, and neither the Military Command Department nor the Military Judge Advocate General's Department can find fault with him. Fan Yuzhen suddenly got her senses.
"Yes, now we are under the jurisdiction of the Lord of Kada City for the time being, but as long as the Honorary Commander has an order, of course we will give priority to the Honorary Commander. Jiao Mingguang smiled and looked at the squadron leaders who seemed to understand whether they understood or not.
