The point that Xiahou touched was referring to was the Eight Towns City.

Due to the large number of mountains in the jurisdiction, there are only eight towns in the Eight Towns City, hence the name of the city, which is located in the new south of Yanling County.

The city borders Huashan County, is very close to Tunchang County and Nanqiu County, and several mountains to the south are also places where bandits are harbored.

"It's going to go over the mountain again!" Ding Cai immediately shouted.

"If it weren't for the mountainous terrain and complicated terrain, we wouldn't have been sent!" the deputy captain came, "Commander Lei can transfer a battalion at will." There was nothing to say, so everyone took care of the business at hand and set off. ”

General Fan is so simple, everyone prepares separately.

Shaodian Fei saw Lei Feixiang asking the convoy guards to fire repeating crossbows, so he stepped forward and asked, "Doesn't the special combat regiment have repeating crossbows?" ”

"It's different, our one is a one-handed light crossbow, and this one is a two-handed heavy crossbow, and the combat requirements are different. ”

Lei Feixiang and Dou Xiaoqi didn't bring * out, and the two slashing warriors didn't use weapons with such low attack power, and their fists were better than *. The new repeating crossbow is different, and the killing range of 300 meters can do a lot of things.

It's a pity that the guards of the convoy are equipped with one hand, and there is no superfluity, and the city defense army and the special operations regiment are not the same system, and the head of the Lei regiment is not easy to face.

"Hehe, I'll do it. Shaodian flew forward.

The commander of the Nanqiu County City Defense Army was different, and he easily asked for three repeating crossbows, and gave one to Lei Feixiang and Dou Xiao to ride each person, and kept one for himself.

......

In mid-January, Ding Kui summoned the Red Army to Nanqiu County, where the Red Army now has a special operations regiment, six crossbow regiments, ten infantry regiments, and a knight regiment, of which the knight regiment is 2,000 men, and the other regiments are 1,500 people, for a total of 27,500 troops.

The rapid development of the Red Army was related to the fact that a large number of regular soldiers were discharged, and almost all of them chose to join Ding Kui's private army after leaving the army.

Those noble children may not be rare, and the officers and soldiers born in the civilian area are very envious of the people of Juyangcheng, not to mention that half of the Shaodian country is currently in the midst of war, and the place occupied by Ding Kui has become a popular choice for immigrants.

"How effective are they?" Ding Kui asked the commander-in-chief, Zhong Wei.

Zhong Wei became the commander-in-chief of the Red Army step by step from the training camp instructor, and it can be said that he couldn't help himself, and the more Ding Kui used him, the more he used it, the more comfortable it became.

"Needless to say, the special operations regiment will maintain the establishment of 1,500 people, leaving only the strongest soldiers, and there is no need for any of them to make up the number, it is still the sharpest knife in your hand.

Because the golden bamboo crossbow needs to be supplied to the regular army, there is no large-scale increase in the strong crossbow regiment, and the nine thousand people have combat experience and can be sent to the battlefield at any time.

The infantry regiment has the largest number of soldiers, and there are many veterans who have just been discharged, and team combat may be a bit rusty, and it takes a few battles to run in, and it is not a problem to line up in peacetime.

At your request, the Order has sought perfection over the years, and through the efforts of his subordinates he has dissuaded all the knights over the age of fifty-five, who are a relatively young order. ”

"Do they have a chance of winning against the local army of Nannuma Prefecture alone?" Ding Kui's request was not low.

Zhong Wei replied cautiously: "It is not difficult to capture a city, but I am afraid that it will not be enough to take a county." ”

"Well, announce the whole city, three days later, the Red Army marches through the south gate, through the city and out of the north gate, so that Minister Hu can organize the people to watch and flowers. ”

Fei Ze asked: "The lord wants to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger?"

Ding Kui locked the private army roster into the bookshelf cabinet, turned around and said, "I have to do something, otherwise others will not feel at ease." ”

"Hehe, I heard that Gongsun Miqin led a cavalry division to Yanling County, do you want to scare him back?" Fei Zelai was about to say this.

"Hmm. Ding Kui nodded to indicate that he already knew the news, "The Thirteenth Captain of the Protector cannot face the cavalry division. Yanling County is suitable for stationing infantry, Gongsun Mi brought cavalry to make a show, and there was no movement on Huasong's side, indicating that Shaodianxi would not spend energy defending Yanling County. ”

"Take the opportunity to recover Yanling County?" Zhong Wei interjected.

"Huh. Ding Kui smiled and didn't answer, this is a fee for opportunities.

"You can't move Yanling County!" Fei Ze immediately shook his head, "Otherwise, the treacherous plan of the Zhengzhongzi family and the burning of the official warehouse will depend on us."

At present, the most suitable attack is Shibu County, which is equivalent to telling the people of the world that our side does not need to use indiscriminate means to obtain a land, but will only fight it openly. ”

"Hahaha, it's all right. Ding Kui played with a balancing act, "I can tell the Zi family that I am not afraid of them playing yin, but Mr. Fei's idea has more merit in comparison." ”

The subordinates also agreed with Mr. Fei's suggestion, if the Red Army was allowed to take on this important task, the subordinates would go all out to restore the rule of the imperial court for the lord and the country. Zhong Wei hurriedly made his position clear.

"Don't worry, wait for Chief of Staff Kong to come back and discuss, the Red Army will first train back and forth between the county town and Shifeng City. "Ding Kui did not make the decision to start a war lightly.

Zhong Wei and Fei Ze walked out of the study together, "The lord has changed." Zhong Wei took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"Isn't it good? That's what a lord should be. Fei patted Zhong Wei on the shoulder.

"I know, it's just a little bit unaccustomed. Thirteen years! I have watched the lord grow from a young boy to the present, although I knew that he would become a great weapon, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, the old lord could be like him back then. "Zhong Wei used to be the captain of Ding Qi's guard, and the old lord said Ding Qi.

"Well, the lord is no less than Yongshuai in his prime, Liu Yu and I didn't see the wrong person, even if one day he plays with us in the palm of his hand, it should be, the minister is strong and the lord is weak, and it is now the capital of Zhenjing. Putting aside personal factors, who are you optimistic about Shaodianguo?" Fei had a rare heart-to-heart conversation with Zhong Wei.

"The royal family has thousands of years of accumulation, and the status of the capital is irreplaceable in the eyes of the people, as long as the regent appoints meritocracy and does not do anything to destroy his foundation, the possibility of victory in the end is very high. ”

Zhong Wei's views represent the older generation, and the legitimacy of the royal family is deeply ingrained in their hearts.

"The Prince Regent is not a traitor, but if he lives in the court for a long time, he will have different hearts. Throughout the history of our country, it is very rare for a young lord to ascend the throne, and even if a young lord has a number of ministers, rather than a single prince regent, it will be a scourge sooner or later. ”

Fei pointed out the dilemma that the court has no solution to.

There is one thing he didn't say, there was no rebellion like the Yang family in the past history.

"Hmm, then it should be Shao Dianyong. The father of Prince Yinsha was supposed to succeed the king, but the king stole the royal power, and there were many people in the royal family who sympathized with him. He also has a great chance of unifying the Shaodian Kingdom. ”

Zhong Wei didn't say the glimmer of hope in his heart.
