Chapter 1070: Aim at the Mage

"It's been the third day, and the enemy's defense is still unabated. Lu Ying handed Ding Kui a dry food.

It was noon, the interval between the Shaodian army's attacks on their own military camps.

When Lu Ying returned to Baiqiu Town, he caught up with Ding Kui's decision to attack the camp in the west of the county, and both the iron beast and the trebuchet appeared on the battlefield, which was much more fierce than the previous tentative attack.

"Bah, a mouthful of sand, can't you think about fire attacks in such dry weather?" Zeng Jian was also ready to eat dry food.

The two fellows of Black Earth City were not so restrained in front of Ding Kui.

"Well, the enemy's will to fight is quite tenacious, and the enemy's Northern Fifth Army has nowhere to retreat, and it is necessary to defend here even if the legion is rebuilt. The mages in the enemy camp are a nuisance, with them it is impossible to attack with fire, and there is no good way to encircle and destroy a group of mages. Ding Kui said while eating dry food.

What he eats on the battlefield is no different from that of ordinary soldiers, and it is the standard dry food of the army.

"You can consider strengthening the crossbow battalion, the enemy has been operating this village for a long time, the fortifications are very strong, and the damage caused by our army's attack to the enemy is not large. Fei Ze ate dry food as soon as possible.

The 75th and 77th Divisions participated in the attack today, still stuck in the long-range attack mode, and were knocked back by the enemy's magicians several times when they approached the wall.

Although there are not many remaining troops in the Northern Fifth Legion, there are still more than seventy percent of the magicians, and it is easy to suppress the magicians of the attacking side.

"Hey, the kingdom that is known as the Southern Continent rich in magicians is actually losing in the number of magicians, and Jikou will really pick a time to invade. Ding Kui glanced at the magicians in the distance who were watching the Shaodian Army in the sky.

"Before I came, there was a sudden rumor in the capital, saying that the invasion of your own country was caused by you, if you don't provoke Lejia, Jiman will not follow Lejia to Nanqiu County, and he will not be caught by Chunluwan Water Village, and the result will not cause his own invasion. Lu Ying remembered a rumor.

"Hmm, finally someone can't help it?" Ding Kui had an approximate number in his mind, "How long have you heard about it?"

"In less than half a month, it should be in late October, and some idlers are saying that I beat several of them. Lu Ying gestured with a pink fist.

"Knowledgeable people will not say such stupid things, without the rebellion of the Yang family and Prince Yinsha, there would be no invasion of their own country, and the bigwigs in the court know very well in their hearts. Luo Tao's inspection subordinates had just come back when they heard Lu Ying's words.

"The political enemies of the lord are deliberately slandering. Fei Ze is clear at a glance.

"Political enemies? How can the prince have political enemies? Even if some people in the military are dissatisfied with the re-emergence of the Ding family, they will not spread rumors. Luo Tao didn't believe it.

"Of course there is, the Zi family will definitely not be able to escape, the remnants of the Tang family and the Nangong family regard me as a thorn in their side!" Ding Kui raised his hand and counted, "The factions in the Senate that are enemies of the Jiang family or the Long family, these can be said to be all my political enemies. ”

He knew that Fei Ze was inconvenient to say, so he simply listed it himself.

"Before the Ding family returned to the helm of the General Staff, someone in the military took the opportunity to make trouble, and we don't want to see it doesn't mean that there is none. Fei Ze still responded to Luo Tao.

"It's so complicated!" Lu Ying was dumbfounded.

"Damn, you really should go to the capital, find out those dirty villains hiding in dark corners, and kill them all!" Luo Tao rose with anger.

Zeng Jian and Lu Ying's feet unconsciously moved back a little, and those who had just arrived in the army were not used to this kind of violent atmosphere.

Ding Kui waved his hand and said: "It's not worth it for villains to violate military discipline and state law, you can't use this method to deal with them, and I'll settle accounts with them when I solve my own problems." ”

The pressure felt by Zeng Jian and Lu Ying disappeared, and they subconsciously approached Ding Kui.

"There's no movement at all in Chunlu City, why don't you attack Chunlu City tomorrow?" Zhang Dingyuan immediately brought the topic back to the war.

"The enemy's naval army is here, and Chunlu City can be besieged and not attacked. I used to have a way to take Spring Dew City, and now I am still sure, but the time has not yet come, so I don't care about it. Didn't the county town react at all?" Ding Kui didn't forget about flooding Chunlu City.

Of course, the current season is not right, and the previous method is not yet useful.

The camp in the west of the county was slightly surprised by Yu Di, but the county town could support at any time, and Yu Di only sent Hao Dong and Lang Chun to monitor the enemy's master masters, and there was no more arrangement.

Jiaxincheng was supported by the local army magicians, forcing Tan Shang to rush to the aid of Huamo, so he could only stay in the camp.

The offensive and defensive battles of the city were still in a stable state, the Shaodian army took the initiative a little, and the defense of their own army was not leaky, and the two sides were evenly matched.

Ding Kui attacked the camp in the west of the county for five days in a row, but to no avail, so he withdrew his troops to rest.

"I've been in ambush for five days, and I haven't seen a single figure, and I'm too conservative!" Dong Ba complained.

His 71st Division hid in the wilderness for five days, never waiting for the signal to attack.

Ding Kui said helplessly: "It is basically certain that their country intends to keep the occupied area, and their Prince Haichao wants to restart negotiations, intending to bargain with the imperial court, and maybe he will threaten the imperial court with his support for Shaodian Yong."

Our existing forces and magical power cannot change the situation in Nanqiu County, the recent losses of the 20th Army are very large, counting on our division of troops to support, Nanjing City has formed a Nandi 1st Army, which will soon rush to the southern border. ”

"It is impossible for the imperial court to compromise with its own country, right?" Shu Li said without confidence.

"The Commander's Mansion has no intention of compromising when it sent Commander Jiang to the Nannuma Prefecture Theater, and the entire Northern Route Army of our country is attacking Nannuma Prefecture, what troops can support the traitorous king? Either send me behind the enemy to take a few turns, maybe we can open up the situation. Dong Ba can see it clearly.

"Magicians full of people, what do you have to turn around behind enemy lines? You will be driven back in less than a day, so it is better to go to the northern front to make trouble. Luo Tao seized the opportunity to complain about Dong Ba.

"General Luo is right, the enemy's magicians are flying all over the sky, which is very unfavorable to our army, and we must find a way to kill a group of magicians!" Ding Kui was considering a new tactic.

"Fighting magicians need long-range troops, and the strong crossbow battalion must be adjusted. Fei reverted to the old proposal.

"Either trick the magician to land, the 71st Division can come with a ruthless blow, and the forbidden magician can also be killed!" Dong Ba was gearing up, hating the magician for not a day or two.

Luo Tao and Shu Li couldn't take it, killing the forbidden law on the ground is not something that can be done by relying on a large number of people, and the infantry division is not as good as the cavalry division in this regard.

"It's too difficult to ambush the magicians, and it's even more impossible to trick them into landing, if you let a sixth-level combat power sneak attack a lone magician, the enemy will do reciprocal retaliation, and can only lure the enemy to volley. Zhang Dingyuan searched his intestines and scraped his stomach and didn't come up with a good way.

"The strong crossbow camp can only sneak attack, since the frontal killing of Zhan Jie, no magician dares to face the strong crossbow camp head-on, I will think about the matter of the strong crossbow camp. Brainstorming, we can't think of a way doesn't mean there is no way, or ask the whole army? Offer a bounty to collect a way to deal with the enemy magicians. Ding Kui felt that he could mobilize the power of the masses.

"This is not good, it is easy to develop the habit of subordinates asking for money before giving advice, which is not conducive to commanding subordinates. Dong Ba objected.

Luo Tao, Shu Li and others nodded one after another, such a precedent should not be opened.

"Either the bounty is not public, or the bounty can be secretly offered. Ding Kui's eyes rolled and he thought about it.

"Is it still a bounty?" Fei Ze didn't guess Ding Kui's thoughts.

"Hehe, that's the ......" Ding Kui said in a low voice, and the generals surrounded him.

The battle in Nanqiu County was in a stalemate, and the imperial army of Zhenwangzhou was building a defensive line, but there was good news from Zhongwangzhou, and the combined forces of the 21st and 22nd Army Corps completely annihilated the rebel army under the command of Jin Man, which was the Yuanzhong Wangzhou Local Army controlled by the Yang family.

This battle was fought on the eastern edge of Dingguo County, and Gu Jun and Jin Man led their troops to attack from the west of Zhennan City, crossing the dense network of rivers with a speed that everyone expected, and successfully raiding Yangwei City, the easternmost part of Dingguo County.

This coalition army has Gu Jun, the dominant knight, who can ignore the city passes of various terrains, and it will not take half a day to storm a city, leaving little time for the rebels to react.

Dingguo County is the hometown of the Yang family, belonging to a nest of the rebels, and the 1st Legion of Zhongdi who followed the rebellion of the Yang family is stationed here, and the occupation of Yangwei City is something that the 1st Legion of Middleland cannot tolerate.

The 100,000-strong army counterattacked Yangwei City, but when they arrived, they found that it was an empty city, and Jin Man's coalition army did not know where to go.

Just when the rebels were confused, the three cities in the hinterland of Dingguo County sent out a distress signal, and from the map, Jin Man's army outflanked the county from three roads, and there was a great tendency to end the Yang family's lair.

The 1st Regiment of the Central Earth hurriedly divided into three routes to rescue the attacked city, but was ambushed halfway.

Jin Man simply launched an ambush battle at three locations at the same time, and surrounded the 1st Army of Zhongdi with 50,000 troops each, and the 1st Army of Zhongdi left 10,000 people to guard Yangwei City, and only 30,000 reinforcements per way.

Originally, the combat effectiveness of the regular army was a cut higher, and the 21st and 22nd Army Corps experienced the Battle of Nannuzhou and the Battle of Cao State, and the combat effectiveness of the coalition army was several times that of the First Army Corps in Central Land, and it was an ambush, and the First Army of Central Land collapsed instantly.

After the ambush, the coalition forces turned around and reappeared under Yangwei City, and once again easily captured Yangwei City.

When the rebels heard the news, they quickly reinforced Dingguo County, and Zhai Yu gave up the occupation of Hailin Prefecture and ordered to return to Dingguo County.

Just as the rebels from all walks of life entered Dingguo County, the Jin Manchurian army in Yangwei City disappeared again, and all the nobles who depended on the rebels were all afraid, for fear that their territory would be attacked.

Two days later, the first unlucky egg was baked, and Jin Man's army was found on the northern border of Nanguo County, and the Mu family was in mourning.

You must know that Jin Man is the most outstanding disciple of Zhishuai, and even Pei Yi himself is probably in the 22nd Army, and none of the rebels in the entire Zhongwangzhou dare to say that they are the opponent of Jin Man's army.

In one day, Jin Man's army successively descended on the five cities of Nanguo County, which frightened the Mu family to shrink all their forces to the county town, intending to hold on and wait for the rebels to come to help.

At this time, the happiest is naturally Shao Dianjian, although the Eighth Army has gone to Nannuma Prefecture, but Zhongwangzhou still has Zhishuai's descendant troops, plus the Anguo Army has completed the assembly in Zhennan City, Yu Wei selected all the troops he wanted.

Zhongwangzhou began a counteroffensive against the rebels.
