"Please ask Fei Lao to command!" Zhong Wei was very respectful.

"What do I command? You are the commander of the division, you have to give orders, and the lord said that I was just giving you advice. "The old man is Fei Ze.

Zhong Wei smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Li Hao, Platoon Commander Li, is it?"

Li Hao's heart swelled with warmth, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, Li Hao." "Who would have thought that Senior Commander Zhong would actually remember his name.

"The news you brought back is very important, you can make a big note on this, and in addition, you have not cut off the enemy's fingers, and the Judge Advocate General will ask you and your subordinates separately, this is the rule, to ensure that no one takes the lead of the army, I hope you can understand. "Zhong did the routine and announced the merit and review procedures.

"The lowly understands that this is fair to all. Li Hao knew that the people from the Ministry of Justice of Military Affairs naturally had a way to figure out the truth. He did not collude with his subordinates and did not worry about the separate review of the Ministry of Military Justice.

"He's very steady," Fei Ze pointed to where Li Hao was standing just now, "Arrange traps according to my tips, have strong execution ability, and have comprehensive experience, which is a good piece of material." ”

"Hehe, of course, the people who have been personally selected by the lord will not be far behind. Zhong Wei knew Li Hao's origin, "What level do you think he can go to?"

"At least he can be the head of the regiment, but his knowledge is too poor, otherwise he will be able to reach a higher level in the future. "Fei Ze likes to put on a teacher's posture recently, and it seems that he is used to bringing Zeng Jian.

Zhong Wei nodded: "The population of the territory is growing rapidly, and we are not short of soldiers, but we lack this kind of military talent." I heard that the lord plans to establish a military academy, which does not teach fighting spirit, martial arts, or archery, and specializes in training middle and high-level officers, and only teaches military affairs, which is suitable for Li Hao, who has a poor knowledge foundation. ”

"I've also heard that you are one of the members of the preparatory team. Heck, when I am old in the future, I can go to the military school to take students to support the elderly. ”

Fei is an important staff member of Ding Kui, who is responsible for many things, and he can't spare time to prepare for the military academy for the time being, but he supports Ding Kui's idea very much.

Zhong Wei suddenly closed his mouth and listened, "The alarm horn sounded, I'll take a look." Are you going?" said he walked over to the weapon rack and took down a long sword.

"No, people are here to explore the way. Fei Ze shook his head.

As he had expected, only 2,000 horsemen circled the outskirts of the city, watching the city of Matu from afar, and when they saw that there were men and horses coming out of the city, they turned around and retreated.

The Red Army of the Protectorate had cavalry, but it did not come to its own country, and Zhong Wei brought out crossbowmen, equipped with crossbowmen on horsemen.

Crossbowmen don't have as much time to train weapons as other troops, but often practice some miscellaneous items, horseback riding is one of them, riding a crossbow is also a crossbow, and it should be practiced.

"I have arranged for the regiments to return to the camp to rest, leaving only one battalion of infantry to stand guard on the city tower, waiting for the main force of my army to meet tomorrow. Zhong Wei is more convinced of Fei Zhi's prediction.

Fei Ze only gave a special advice: "Pay attention to the people in the city, put some blood if necessary, and don't pretend to be benevolent, this is your life-and-death war." ”

The thoughts of the people of the enemy country cannot be guessed, and Fei Ze alone cannot count the thoughts of hundreds of thousands of people. The army is different, the command is in the hands of a few people, as long as those few people are counted.

Ordinary troops do not have such experience, only troops who have fought abroad have personal experience, any stranger can kill you, and everywhere you can stab a fatal shot.

Matu City was the first place occupied by the Shaodian army, and the people in the city became prisoners for some reason, but there would be no trouble if they were divided, and the only inconvenience was that they had to listen to the orders of the Shaodian. They have become accustomed to living under the control of the Shaodian.

Tonight, the Shaodian people issued a curfew, and no one was allowed to go out.

This was a signal that the country's army had gone outside the city, and some restless people were secretly moving up, intending to gather men to resist. Unexpectedly, their activities were soon discovered by the Shaodian Army, and they were immediately bloodily suppressed.

The Shaodian Army, who was in charge of patrolling the city, captured rioters who tried to resist in many parts of the city in one night, most of them were killed on the spot, and the rest were also arrested and examined.

The cavalry of our own army still got some information and went back.

"At present, it has been preliminarily ascertained that Ding Kui's private army is stationed in the city, they have a very strange organization, and the inferior rank cannot understand those banners, but it is estimated that the number of enemy troops is around 10,000. Because it was already dark, the lowly rank did not go to the west of the city to investigate. ”

After listening to this, Yudi came to the map of Beijun and crossed his arms to watch.

Everyone quietly exited the room, not daring to stay and disturb him. Everyone knows the habit of this commander-in-chief, he is used to thinking about the military situation alone, and he does not need to be given advice by others, and if he wants to make suggestions, he has to wait until the military intelligence meeting to make them.

What the hell is Ding Kui doing here? It is impossible to seize China's territory, and it is reasonable to say that it is reasonable to grab something; according to the Military Intelligence Department, a large number of civilians have poured into the northern county, and it is clear that they are here to carry things.

What is the way to say that the division of troops is to defend it? 10,000 people is like resisting my 100,000 army, Ding Kui will not look down on me so much, right? But it is difficult to say that he only has a few thousand soldiers and horses to dare to face Lejia's hundreds of thousands of private troops.

Yu Di suddenly narrowed his eyes: Could it be that Ding Kui is in the city?

He has never been so timid in leading his troops to fight, with an army of 100,000 in his hands, he has to think for a long time in the face of a small city.

That was because Ding Kui was scared of it! Seven or eight neat, not how to tidy up, and his 300,000 army was wiped out.

"Hateful!" he slapped his palm on the map, not hating Ding Kui but hating himself, the commander in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops was afraid of a fledgling junior general, although the junior general had appointed himself deputy commander of the Military Command Department.

"It's a pity that Ban Tu was transferred away, or he can go and check it, how can he deal with Ding Kui without a master-level master! I don't know how many master-level masters are ambushed in Matu City, and a recruit army is not safe. ”

He can't ignore this problem, there are few magicians in the army, and the strongest one has been transferred, that is the power of Dai Gu, and the elusive Ding Kui likes to engage in sneak attacks, although it is not safe to have thousands of troops on the side.

After careful consideration, he decided to stabilize the camp first and not rush to attack the city.

Zhong Wei was nervous and excited to guard the tower, preparing for a large-scale attack by his own army, and did not see his own army coming until the third pole of the sun.

"Cavalry again?" he saw in his binoculars a familiar image, he had only seen yesterday.

"Hehe, very steady!" Fei Ze smiled and turned to go downstairs.

Zhong Wei chased after him and asked, "Isn't Yudi coming? There are more cavalry today than yesterday." ”

Fei Ze raised his hand as he walked and replied: "Of course there must be a little more, otherwise how can I go to the west to find out the truth and truth? Yudi will not come, fire reconnaissance is a matter for the little minion." ”

The five thousand cavalry of their own country did not come close to the wall, but went far north and west, and after a few hours they returned from the south to the east.

The fire of hope that had just ignited in the hearts of the people in the city was quickly extinguished by the harsh reality, and no movement outside the city was heard all day, and it was impossible for the army to attack the city without sound.

After dinner, Fei Ze came to Zhong Wei and said, "It's best for the whole army to be on standby in the camp tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle." ”

"Okay. Zhong Wei immediately went to give the order, and he didn't ask Fei how he knew. Leave the things you can't figure out to the experts, and people will eat this mouthful.

In the early morning of the next day, almost all the members of the 1st Mixed Division were running on the streets of the city, and only the mysterious special operations regiment was nowhere to be found.

Three regiments of infantry, three regiments of crossbowmen, and 5,000 additional auxiliaries sent by Ding Kui in the later period, this is the entire strength of the guards in Matu City. The special operations regiment has a special mission, it is not in the city, they are a sharp knife, not a shield.

The 131st Battalion of the Strong Crossbow took over the night shift, and Li Hao led his troops to climb the Xicheng Tower early.

The fifth platoon was responsible for guarding the city tower, and Li Hao ran to a conspicuous place to hang out the banner of the fifth platoon, "Brother Li, the enemy is coming!" It was the young man who guarded the entrance of the town that day, and every time he found the enemy first.

This person's name is Jian Xingkong, a native of Nanqiu County, eighteen years old, with good eyesight. It is said that you can see the nostrils of eagles flying high in the sky!

Therefore, he was specially recruited into the new barracks, and joined the crossbow regiment when the crossbowmen were expanded this year.

Li Hao hurriedly turned his head to look, and a large number of his own troops suddenly appeared in the distance, with star flags and electric halberds, and the crowd was like a sea, killing towards Matu City.

A shrill whistle sounded first, followed by a long siren from the lower floors, delivering a message to the lord of the city.

The commander of the 131st battalion ran up to the city tower, and Li Hao put down the copper whistle in his mouth.

"Platoons ready for battle!, Jane, go and inform the ballistamen to be in position. "The commander of the 131 battalion immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Jian Xingkong ran down the tower.

The battalion commander glanced at Li Hao and said, "If I die in battle, you will take over the third battalion." ”

The war was just around the corner, and Li Hao was not allowed to be hypocritical at this time, so he stood up and saluted and replied: "Yes! ”

Such temporary appointments would be automatically released after the war, with only a verbal order and no other formalities.

The vanguard of our own army was about a kilometer or so from the city wall, and spread out on both sides, followed by a marching procession with no end in sight.

"Well, is this going to storm the West Gate?" Zhong Wei had already come to the castle tower and found that his army had no intention of besieging Matu City.

"It's just a tentative siege, it's a lot of trouble to surround the whole city, Yudi is very empty in his heart, since he has stabilized the camp first, of course, he must gradually test the combat strength of our army. Don't use the ballista yet, at least not today. Fei Ze also came.

The information of the war is ever-changing, and he has to see it with his own eyes to determine what he thinks, and he can't be careless.

Jian Xingkong whispered in Li Hao's ear: "It's here." ”

At this time, there was a sudden change under the city, and a large number of soldiers in the middle of the army held high the big shield, and behind them were dense flags, blocking the view from the city tower.

Zhong Wei's gaze swept over Li Hao and Jian Xingkong, and said with a smile: "Yo, it is worthy of being an old opponent, and there are new routines." ”

The biggest function of those flags is to block the line of sight, so that the enemy cannot see the target, and it is a way to restrain the crossbowmen.

"Where there is attack, there is defense, where there is a spear, there is a shield, and there is no invincible weapon in the world, as has been the case since ancient times. Okay, you can play with him slowly. Fei patted his sleeve and brushed away.
