"Have you set off? Then let's make a move, let the 72nd Division make a feint in the direction of Huatong City, the cavalry troops are ready to go out, and the scouts of the 74th and 75th Divisions go to the predetermined location. ”

Ding Kui first received the regular military information from the base camp, and only received the message from Qianyou in the evening.

"Don't say that the second uncle wants to use my people, he has to go if he uses me. Actually, it's a good thing, the second uncle can provide a broader stage, where can I not mix military merits if I have the ability? I don't have to take care of her. He didn't mind his people being poached by Jiang Xi.

"The Prince Regent has placed people in the military, Commander Jiang has let go of his hands and feet, the lord does not have to be polite, try his best to fight for what you want. Fei Ze had something to say.

"Let's fight away first, and then it depends on the situation, has the 72nd Division arrived at the predetermined location?"

To maintain the deterrence of Xia Fan, Ding Kui could not personally lead the troops, so he could only sit in the central military tent and command new operations remotely.

"It's here. ”

At present, the Nanda Battalion is full of the Red Army for the Protectorate, Hua Mo's men are gone, and the execution ability of the 72nd Division is one of the best in the Eighth Army Corps.

"Well, it's up to me how I respond. ”

Yu Di paid close attention to the movements of the Eighth Army, and the new changes in Huatong City and Jizhou City caused him to be highly vigilant.

The Northern Fourth Army Corps was considered to be a relatively intact part of the troops in Nanqiu County, and there were more reserves for fighting on the southern front, which was more conducive to dealing with Ding Kui, who liked to fight sports warfare.

"The troops of Juyang City and Hump Mountain can't move, the troops of the county town and Chunlu City can't move, and only Jiaxin City can move, what is the real combat goal of the enemy?"

Gong Yelei circled the Huatong City on the map, pointed to it and said: "It is most likely to attack Huatong City, followed by luring our army out of the city for field battles, and it is less likely to attack Jizhou City and Jiaxin City." ”

And the Jiangzhou Theater Staff Department could not determine the specific intentions of the Shaodian Army.

"Order the 38th Division of the North to enter a state of standby, Feng Run will attack at the right time, and nail the enemy troops outside Xixuan City for me!" Yu Di hesitated again and again but decided not to move.

On the morning of the next day, bad news continued to come that the 201st, 203rd, and 205th Divisions camped under the city of Jizhou and sent a small number of troops to tentatively attack the city; Huatongcheng discovered the traces of the 72nd Division, and the displaced people on Huatongshan rushed down the mountain, suspected of cooperating with the actions of the regular army; the scouts near Jiaxincheng were attacked, and the outposts on the main road lost contact.

"It seems that the enemy army wants to take Jizhou City, and Huatong City should be a feint. Gongyelei made a judgment.

"How is Xixuancheng, where is Ding Kui?" Yu Di tried to clear the fog of the battlefield.

"Ding Kui and Ding Yu are still confronting Master Xia in Xixuan City. The staff officer who received the information immediately replied.

Yu Di walked to the map, knocked on the point in Jizhou City, and said: "The number of the enemy's 21st Army Corps has reappeared, and it should not be under the command of the enemy's Eighth Army Corps! Order the 38th Division of the North to rush to Jizhou City, and Feng Run will arrange for the troops to attack!"

There are three roads connecting Jiaxin City to other cities, one leading to the county seat, one leading to Huatong City, and one leading to Shimu City, and there are paths through the mountains and woodlands leading to other places, all of which are not suitable for a large number of soldiers and horses.

However, there was a group of men and horses hiding in the field that was not in front of the village and behind the shop, and they came from the direction of Huatong City last night and hid beside the main road leading to the city.

When the sun came out, the group hid in the woods and grass, and no one walking on the road could find it.

Bang, Dong Ba slapped his cheeks, "There are so many insects in this broken place, and the palms of my hands are calloused." ”

Not far away, someone laughed out loud and whispered to his companion, "I see that the callus is from his beard." ”

"Shhhh The smile in his eyes could not be hidden.

There were people running outside the jungle.

"Who?" asked one of Dong Ba's personal soldiers in a low voice.

"It's okay, that's my brother. Langback beckoned to the soldier.

Sure enough, Lang Nunu plunged headlong into the jungle before his own soldiers let go of their grips on the hilt of their swords.

"Report to Lord Dong," Lang Nunu saluted Dong Ba first, "Some troops have left Jiaxin City." ”

"Which way to go?" Dong Ba's copper bell eyes were a little bigger.

"Coming this way towards us. "Lang Nunu was in charge of keeping a sentry on the periphery, and when he found out about the enemy, he immediately rushed over to report it.

"Hahaha, no bug bites in vain. All of them, ready to fight!" Dong Ba jumped up directly.

Woohoo, woohoo!

The watchtower of the southern camp of Xixuancheng sounded the horn.

Ding Kui and Ao Yu looked at each other and smiled, "Here! The wolf-faced woman attacked to show that he had reacted." Ding Kui was already fully dressed, and he picked up the Wind Cone and flew into the air.

Outside the east gate of Huatong City, the 72nd Division put on an attack formation, but it never entered the attack position. A human dragon walked from the direction of Huatong Mountain, and if you looked closely, there were women, children and old people in the team, but it was not the militia team led by Shao Dianfei.

At this time, Shaodianfei was already in the formation of the 72nd Division, "The humble post first arranged for 5,000 people to go down the mountain, they didn't bring any luggage, and the foot journey was not too slow." He reported to Warmer.

"Very good, you take them to the designated place, and two thousand infantry will escort them to Baiting City. When Jizhou City is captured, the next place to recover will be here, and then all the people on the mountain can go home. ”

Bloomer's task is not to take the Flower Copper City, this time it has several functions:

First, to confuse the enemy and cover up the tactical intentions of the Shaodian Army; when the 72nd Division came out to wander, who knew what they wanted to do? All the commanders of their own army could not ignore them.

Second, to scare the own army in Jiaxincheng and cut off a road leading to Jizhou City; Jizhou City is attacked, and our army will definitely come to the rescue, and most of the 72nd Division will not dare to go to Huatongcheng's side.

3. Threaten the defenders of Huatong City and cooperate with the transfer of the people on Huatong Mountain; Ding Kui did not inform Shaodian Fei to bring the militia to participate in the war, but asked Shaodian Fei to transfer some of the people, Huatong City's own army did not come out, the people could safely go to Baiting City, and local officials would rescue the people when they arrived in Baiting City.

Fourth, hold the road and respond to the retreat of the cavalry troops; Dong Ba and others went to Jiaxincheng from the place held by the 72nd Division, and when they came back, they needed to be in the hands of their own people.

Fifth, it can be turned into a mobile unit and wait for an opportunity to threaten its own troops on the northern and southern fronts; the 72nd Division can go to Jizhou City, go over Huatong City to Ximu City, go to Jiaxin City, and return to Xixuancheng, which has extremely high flexibility.

Ding Kui is most relieved to send Hua Mo over, and others may not have the experience to handle multitasking.

Fan Yuzhen and Xie Luoli's brigade were stationed in the same town, and they were responsible for escorting the people to Baiting City, and whoever won the competition was in command.

This time, it was Fan Yuzhen's brigade that killed more enemies, and the existence of the golden bamboo crossbow almost guaranteed that every time they encountered enemy scouts, they could be completely annihilated, on the other hand, Xie Luoli's brigade always let go of a few, although the number of sorties was more, but the number of kills lagged behind.

Afterwards, Ding Kui made a "fair" verdict, because Fan Yuzhen had a crossbow borrowed by the special combat battalion, so the two brigades were sentenced to a tie, saving face for both divisions.

"My lord is really an unpredictable prophet, so cleverly avoiding the contradiction between the 74th and 75th divisions, I definitely can't do it. Gong Le was full of admiration, and Fei only smiled meaningfully at this.

Under Ding Fen's repeated questioning, Fei Zecai secretly told her, "Do you think that the lord asked you to open the market in order to win money? Do you borrow a crossbow from the Dou battalion commander to win bets? That was all intentional by the lord."

The purpose of opening the betting market is to test everyone's opinions, and by the way, to find out who has a better chance of winning, the difference between the two teams is geometric; Dou Xiao rode a crossbow to help Fan Yuzhen win, and it can also cover up the true intentions of the lord; the two teams tied because the lord calculated.

Of course, there may be other purposes, but the old man is stupid and can't understand that the lord must do this for the good of everyone, and the result is also happy for everyone. What I'm telling you is all speculation, so don't talk nonsense to others. ”

Ding Fen didn't understand it at all, he only knew that Ding Kui controlled everything, and in addition to thinking that the master was very powerful, he also felt that he had an obligation to keep it a secret.

Kong Cheng, who had suffered defeat before, naturally would not be idle, and the Kong army attacked strongly, storming the periphery of Ximu City, and retreating when it encountered the main force of the Northern Third Army, but it did not go far, putting on a posture of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance".

The troops of the Shaodian Army and his own army stirred one-third of Nanqiu County, involving nearly 300,000 troops.

The most exciting part is, of course, the linkage between the 71st Division and Ding Kui's cavalry troops, and this 15,000 cavalry raided the 38th Northern Division.

The battle lasted less than half an hour in the northern suburbs of Jiaxincheng, the 38th Division of the North was defeated, more than 2,000 defeated soldiers fled back to Jiaxincheng, and the cavalry of Shaodianguo retreated safely.

Ding Kui and Ao Yu held the southern camp, stopped the crazy attack of their own magicians, cooperated with the crossbowmen to shoot their own troops out of the city, and Feng Run symbolically filled a few infantry tunnels and retreated to Xixuancheng.

Although there were only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left in the military camp outside the city, there were not many troops in the city, and Feng Run could not take out too many troops to attack the southern camp.

After a brief discussion, Ding Kui decided to send the 72nd Division to Jizhou City to support the old commander Zhang Jie.

It is of great strategic significance to capture Jizhou City as soon as possible, the Shaodian army on the north and south lines can get in touch, the materials from the base camp can be transported to Qinglan City faster, and the people on Huatong Mountain can be rescued earlier.

After Hua Mo and other cavalry troops withdrew from Huatong City, they immediately commanded their subordinates to go around the city to the west and rushed to Jizhou City overnight.

The 201st, 202nd and 205th divisions took turns to attack the west gate of Jizhou City, bulldozing all the fortifications outside the city in one afternoon, and attacking the city wall several times.

The twenty-first legion came this time to have the Huashan County Magic Guild to fight together, the number of magicians is far more than the defenders, and it can completely control the sky above Jizhou City, if it weren't for Zhang Jie's fear of too much battle damage and not wanting to fight street battles, I'm afraid he would have occupied the West Gate.

The key is that Ding Kui came with the news in time, Zhang Jie knew that reinforcements were coming, so he adopted a more stable tactic and waited for tomorrow to divide his troops and attack the city in multiple ways.
