Chapter 1213: A full-scale invasion of the North County
The mixed 5th Division took two cities in one day, and each time Fan Yuzhen was the first to jump on the city wall, sweeping a bloody path with a long axe in his hand, and the soldiers who followed the city wall did not have pressure, and followed the division commander to grab people's heads.
It may be to show Ding Cai how to attack the city quickly, Fan Yuzhen is extremely fierce, the two battles ended quickly, and when the enemy city magician rose into the air, the city wall had been occupied, the city gate was wide open, and Sun Yilei's heavy cavalry brigade had stepped on the street.
The Eighth Brigade is still sweeping the tail, and Ding Cai has also been released, specially leading people to raid large households in the city to prevent their own people from hiding and transferring property. If you find something good to bring, take it away, and leave what you can't bring for the receiving troops.
"What? The 5th Division is in front of us!" Shu Li was a little surprised, "It's really hard for a woman to be ruthless, and the people can't keep up with it if they run so fast." ”
He put his hand on the pergola and looked to the southwest, and said to himself: "The guy who runs the fastest should join the young master." ”
That's right, the 2nd Division that went straight to the center of Beijun was to pick up Ding Kui, and Dong Ba's first task was to assist in occupying the county seat.
The 1st Division can only send a special combat regiment to attack the county town, and the 1,500 people can only attack at fixed points, and it is difficult to control the county town with a population of hundreds of thousands, and another fast force is needed to support. If you go less, it is not useful, and the most suitable is only Dong Ba's cavalry division.
Just when the special operations group attacked the County Knights Guild, Dong Ba led the army to arrive outside the county and happened to meet the 28th Division of the Central and North that had escaped from the city. The newly assembled own army was once again dealt a fatal blow, and the galloping Shaodian cavalry chased them with no way to escape.
Dong Ba came to the south gate with a small group of personal soldiers, and the thick smoke in the sky was the road sign, telling the friendly troops that there was no need to encircle here, and the new troops came to converge.
"Special operations regiment and battalion, battalion commander Dou Xiao rode to see General Dong!" Dou Xiao rode out of the city gate to greet him.
"Okay, you guys, not only did you capture the city gate as scheduled, but also drove thousands of enemy troops out of the city, how long has it been?" Dong Ba was impressed by the special operations group.
It was not easy to accomplish such a record in a short period of time, and he himself had just arrived, and strictly speaking, the performance of the 71st Division was slightly inferior.
"I'm ashamed! The rout outside the city was driven out by Lord Ding, and the main force of the special combat group had just captured the Knight Guild. Dou Xiaoqi knew that Dong Ba had misunderstood.
"Oh, that's not easy! You've eaten all the meat we can eat, and we're going to have to mix it up and drink it. When Dong Ba heard this, he knew that there was no large-scale resistance in the city.
"Where is Lord Ding?" he could only report to Ding Kui first.
"Lord Ding is waiting for you in the county guard's mansion, and I will take you there. ”
Dou Xiao rode a horse and led Dong Ba and others into the city.
The streets of the northern county town were deserted, and only a few special operators were guarding the important street entrances, and it was not until the gate of the county guard that a small group of patrolmen was seen. With Dou Xiao riding to lead the way, no one intercepted them for interrogation, and Dong Ba ran directly into the county guard's mansion.
"Old General Dong is here, have you encountered enemy troops on the way?" Ding Kui waved his hand, signaling that Dong Ba did not need to salute.
"Did you run away?" Dong Ba slapped off the dust on his body before walking into the hall.
"Hehe, that was what Master Tan scared away. Ding Kui pointed to Tan Shang who was making tea by himself. He could calculate from the time of day who the 2nd Division would encounter outside the city.
"It should be you who killed the main general of the enemy army, and the enemy army will be leaderless. Tan Shang thought that Mao Wen was dead.
"That's a blessing for the enemy, and it's rare for the three of you to strike together. "Of course, Dong Ba knows the deterrent effect of the forbidden law, and it is under strong protection.
"Our movements are still not fast enough, the magic communication array has been destroyed, fortunately, a set of materials have been prepared, and the magicians of the 2nd division will help Master Tan repair the communication array first, so that I can command the divisions. ”
Before leaving, Ding Kui spent a lot of money to buy a set of materials for the communication array, which was packed in Tan Shang's space ring, and the most expensive materials happened to be available to him, otherwise he would not be able to make ends meet on this expedition.
The communication array of the county magic guild can contact any magician in the county, and can be passed on to unregistered magicians through group messaging, and each division has one or two magicians leaving a magic mark, as long as the communication array is in Ding Kui, orders can be sent to each division.
However, the magic transmission channel of his own country is different from that of Shaodian Country, and it is impossible to contact Dongjin County or other parts of Shaodian Country by the North County.
In the same way, Ji'an County can't contact Nanguo County, but the Zhongbei Route Army has a communication point on the border, as an information bridge between the two countries, and Jing Xuan received that it was not dark when the northern county town fell.
"Unknown enemy army has invaded the northern county town! Where are the enemy troops coming from? The magician hurriedly evacuated, presumably in an enemy that could not be resisted. "The only news he received was that the south gate was lost.
The magician evacuated in too much of a hurry, and he had to destroy the communication array first, and there was no time to deliver the news that followed.
"The main forces of the enemy army have all gathered in Nanguo County, and if you want to fight Ji'an County, how can you fight to Beijun County? What is the conspiracy here?" Jing Xuan didn't understand for a while.
A staff officer speculated: "Could it be to lure my army to the rescue and then attack halfway?"
"It's not that this is not impossible, the enemy did not raise a serious banner, the purpose is to confuse our public opinion, it is difficult to judge the enemy's troop deployment, and finally make an erroneous strategic decision. ”
Jing Xuan spread out several maps, including those of Nanguo County, Ji'an County, Dongjin County, and Beibei County, and carefully compared and studied them, trying to judge the intentions of the Shaodian Army.
His troops are in Nanguo County, there are rebels to provide logistical supplies, the importance of the base camp in Ji'an County is reduced, and the Shaodian army is far from threatening him when it hits the northern county, so there is no need to react in a hurry.
"Ordered the base camp to send 20,000 horses to support Huangyu City, and notified the Northern Route Army in Jiangzhou, asking the Acting Commander to send troops to rescue Beijun. He thought twice and decided to find a helper to deal with the unknown enemy, and his men and horses in the Shaodian Kingdom stood still for the time being.
The mixed army didn't care so much, it marched all the way, and the troops were divided into three ways to attack the northern cities of North County.
The 1st Division was all the way, going north from Matu Castle, conquering Tongze Castle, contacting the 4th Division from Dongjin County in the north, and then turning south and advancing towards the county seat.
The 4th Division was one way, and after occupying the Blue Castle City, it continued to move south, conquered Anxi City, opened up the connection with the 1st Division, and then turned to the west to advance.
The 5th Division was all the way, Fan Yuzhen connected Kaji City, Xilong City and Wuma City, and joined the 3rd Division under Wuma City, completely opening up the connection between the county town and Shaodian Kingdom, and then turned back and advanced to the northwest.
The 6th, 7th, and 8th divisions followed behind the 1st, 4th, and 5th divisions respectively, and the 9th and 10th divisions covered 50,000 people to the county seat.
The county town hoarded the most materials, and many of their own people did not know that the county town had fallen, and there were convoys transporting supplies one after another. Ding Kui laughed for several days, and ordered the special operations regiment and the 2nd division to change into the clothes of their own army, and the banner of their own country was also displayed on the city tower, laughing at the filial piety of their own people.
When the people came, they changed into Shaodian military uniforms and military flags, and the city gate was wide open, expelling the young and strong people of their own country, and they could carry a burden but not pull the cart, Ding Kui did not rush to kill them all.
"Newspaper, the Northern Route Army of our country sent a messenger to send a handwritten letter written by the commander on behalf of the commander to the lord. ”
Kong Ren took the letter from his own soldiers and was about to hand it to Ding Kui, "Look, it's just asking me why I attacked Beijun, and I won't write any secrets." Ding Kui waved his hand, just looking at the military information sent below.
"Hehe, this commander of the Northern Route Army of his country still writes to you like a literati, and when he receives the reply, you have already emptied half of the northern county. Kong Ren arrived with the people.
His strength was in internal affairs, and he had no experience in marching and fighting, so he lagged behind to manage the people and did not rush to the front.
After carefully reading Dai Gu's letter, he found that the content was just like Ding Kui's guess, questioning why Ding Kui broke the armistice agreement and sent troops to attack his own country, and ordered Ding Kui to withdraw his troops immediately and compensate his own country's losses.
Ding Kui put down the summary of military information and said: "The Central and North Route Army didn't react much, just increased the troops in Huangyu City to prevent us from copying the back road of Ji'an County, it should be transferred to the North Route Army to deal with us, Jing Xuan's hand is very stable."
If we are in the direction of attack, only the Northern Route Army can resist it, and the Central and Northern Route Army can withdraw to Ji'an County and attack our army on both sides. ”
Fei Ze supervised the battle in the Hanru Blade Army, and he only had one staff officer by his side, Kong Ren.
Kong Ren spread out a map of the four counties, which happened to include the four counties of Nanguo, Ji'an, Dongjin and Beibei.
"There are only three cities left north of the county town that have not been captured, the 2345th Division will take all of them within three days, and the 9th Division will go to Matu City to build a defensive line, which can ensure the safety of our army's flanks and rear flanks, the question is whether the main force of our army will go south or southwest next?" he was self-aware, and did not give Ding Kui advice at this time.
Only those who know the soldiers can give full play to the maximum combat effectiveness of their subordinates, and Ding Kui transferred all the troops he was familiar with, so he dared to command a mixed army to fight.
"To the south! The 678th Division has long been impatient, and I will supervise the 1st Division to answer here to relieve their worries. Ding Kui's palm pressed on the six cities south of the county seat.
The 6th Division was adapted from Quan Wanyun's 75th Division, the 7th Division was adapted from Luo Tao's 77th Division, and the 8th Division was adapted from Qiao Meng's 80th Division, and their combat effectiveness was by no means weaker than the first two waves of attack echelons.
When Ding Kui started the second wave of attacks, the mixed second army also began to move, Gu Jun led the army to help the first army take the three northern cities, and then diagonally inserted into Ji'an County, all the way to Xiong'an City, and there was a great tendency to end the base camp of the Central and Northern Route Army.
At this time, Jing Xuan couldn't sit still, so many materials in the base camp couldn't fall into the hands of the Shaodian army in vain, so he led the 1st Army of Zhongbei to leave the southern county town, intending to return to his own country.
As soon as he left, news of a request for help came from the southern county town, and the advance of the Shaodian army had hit the city.
Now Jing Xuan is facing a dilemma, Baonanguo County or Baoxiong Ancheng?
If hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the North Central Route Army want to eat and drink, they must ensure that a supply base is safe.
