Chapter 1059: The Mysterious Battle of the Chunlu River

"Oh, Feng Run's people can block our attack, Yudi can only arrange it like this, which is expected. ”

Shu Li walked around the enemy camp, probably tested the defense inside, and returned to Baiqiu Town when he saw that it was not early, and reported to Ding Kui in detail after returning, and the situation was similar to what Ding Kui expected.

"It can be speculated that there is the main force of the Northern Fourth Army in Jiaxin City and the county town, and the number is not less than 30,000, and the pressure we are facing is not small. "Ding Kui roughly calculated, the 30,000 people under his command should be at least 80,000 enemy troops.

"I don't think Feng Run will leave the barracks, and those 20,000 people don't pose a threat to our army. Shu Li also made a judgment.

"Okay, tomorrow the 78th Division will go around Chunlu City, and the 77th Division will attack the upper reaches of the Chunlu River, so let's go back and prepare. Ding Kui arranged the next day's task.

The Chunlu City army did not know the reality of the Shaodian army, and closed the city gate and did not come out, and was able to attack the Shaodian army close to the city wall, but it was powerless against the villages and towns outside.

Ding Kui followed the 77th Division to move together, basically did not encounter enemy troops, and the whole process was similar to a field march.

"Shizi, will you make a little fuss with us? others will laugh at us for taking up an empty space and needing the help of the Juggernaut Knight. Luo Tao laughed at himself.

"You'll find out later. Ding Kui walked straight to the river.

There were five medium-sized warships on the Chunlu River, lined up along the river, and the own troops on board watched vigilantly at the 77th Division on the shore.

Ding Cai and Gong Le danced their spears, accurately clicked the arrows fired by the warship, and guarded Ding Kui's side one left and one right, without letting the juggernaut knight do it himself.

"This is the distance where we can attack the warship. Luo Tao followed behind Ding Kui.

"No, don't break my ship. Ding Kui smiled slightly and said something that Luo Tao couldn't understand.

Luo Tao was still thinking there, Ding Kui in front of him made a move, and a fighting dragon shot into the river.

"This is too bad, it's still far from the warship, is the prince scaring people?" Luo Tao muttered in his heart.

In an instant, the waves on the surface of the river rose prominently, and during the dry season of winter, the waves were four or five meters high, and exactly five warships were rolled up and pushed towards the north bank of the Chunlu River.

The warship was pushed to the shore, the waves disappeared in an instant, the water level on the river returned to normal, and the warship ran aground on the beach on the shore.

Luo Tao suddenly looked back and shouted: "What are you still stunned for! Hurry up and board the ship to destroy the enemy army!" woke up his stunned subordinates.

Does this knight know magic? The dragon shoots into the river with such a reaction! The enemy warship is obediently sent to the door, and he can still defeat the battle with such a commander?

The officers and men of the 77th Division suppressed their excitement in their hearts, and rushed towards the warship with a sound of murder.

There was no suspense in the battle, and the sailors and boatmen of their own country had no ability to resist at all, and a large brigade of young soldiers pounced on it and solved it.

"That's amazing! How did you do that? Now the ship is yours. Luo Tao didn't figure out what the situation was, but he caught the pie that fell from the sky.

"Hehe, there's a lot of mystery in that. "Ding Kui is playing tricks. In fact, it is very simple, last night he had informed Ao Yu through Ao Yan that he was ambushed at the bottom of the Chunlu River at this time today, waiting for his signal to start and teach his own navy a lesson.

However, Ding Kui couldn't explain Ao Yu's affairs clearly, so he simply didn't say it, giving everyone a sense of mystery and enjoying the feeling of being worshiped by everyone.

After the Shaodian army took control of the warship, waves rose on the river again, dragging the warship back to the deep water.

Ding Kui looked back and nodded, and Qianyou shot a magic light bullet into the air.

After a while, a group of cavalry came running from the opposite bank, with the banner of the 3rd Brigade of the 74th Division, and the leader was Xiao Yanding.

"Drive the boat to the opposite side, the ship and the prisoners will be handed over to the 74th Division, we don't have to stay here. Well, train the letter eagle to fly from here to Port City, and then order Port City not to transit to Xixuan City. "The military order issued by Ding Kui to the 74th Division last night is about to be transferred.

The 77th Division is to retreat to the camp in Baiqiu Town, and the north bank of the Chunlu River may return to the control of its own army by night, but the south bank is in their own hands, and both the 74th Division and the Protector Red Army can send people to guard the warships.

The crossbow barracks could also be boarded for combat, and these five medium-sized warships could run rampant on the upper reaches of the Chunlu River. After today's battle, our own navy only dared to wander around the water near Chunlu City, and did not dare to go upstream without the protection of ground troops.

Waiting for Xiao Yanding to send people back to the soldiers who drove the boat, Ding Kui commanded the team to march downstream along the river bank and sweep all the way to Chunlu City.

As he had done yesterday, Shu Li commanded his troops to walk around the city walls, launching tentative attacks at specific locations to test the city's defenses and strength, and to record the banners of his own army.

Basically all regular armies understood this tactic, but the troops of the Eighth Army were particularly efficient, and by the time Ding Kui led the troops to converge, Shu Li had completed the test.

"There are only 39th and 40th divisions in the city, which is slightly less than the 30,000 troops you expected, and it seems that Chunlu City is not a key place for the enemy to defend. He reported to Ding Kui as soon as possible.

"Well, it seems that Yudi has not given up fighting our army in the field, and has prepared a lot of mobile troops, so I will do the same. ”

Ding Kui did not dwell on whether his prediction was correct, but immediately re-examined the intentions of the enemy commander, which was important for him to command the operation in the future, so that he could try to avoid mistakes.

The Shaodian army ended the day's battle and all returned to the camp in Baiqiu Town.

There were also actions on other battlefields, Hua Mo led his troops to tentatively attack Jiaxin City, and found that there were at least 40,000 troops stationed in the city.

"Is there no movement on the northern front?" Ding Kui asked the staff officer.

"The chief of staff didn't rush to the boundary city so quickly, and it was the elite main force of the enemy army stationed in the fine city, so you don't need to try to know this. Fei Ze answered for the staff officers.

"Newspaper. Ding Fen's crisp voice sounded outside the tent.

"Come in. ”

"Documents sent from the base camp of the war zone. Ding Fen entered the account and handed Ding Kui a document bag.

Ding Kui opened the file bag, took out the document and looked at it, then threw the whole bag to Ding Cai, and said, "Take it and take office in Port City." ”

Ding Cai was like a treasure, holding the document bag in both hands, and reading the contents of the document incredulously, it was a letter of appointment, the commander of the corps Jiang Xi appointed Ding Cai as the eighth captain of the 74th Division, and sent along with the waist card and tokens and other seals.

Han Rujian was snatched away by Jiang Xi, and he successfully served as the commander of the 111th Division, Ding Kui had to choose another captain, considering that he wanted to match Fan Yuzhen and Ding Cai, he simply sent Ding Cai to the 74th Division as the captain, so that the two were equal.

"The villain still wants to stay by the master's side. Ding Cai smiled and thumped Ding Kui's leg.

"Why are you staying and harming me, you almost missed an arrow today, are you so protective of the general?" Ding Kui teased Ding Cai.

When he was by the river, Ding Cai's hand shook and he didn't hit an arrow, but fortunately he reacted quickly and clicked one more shot to stop the arrow that shot Ding Kui.

"Hehe, could it be Brother Cai showing off his marksmanship?" Gong Le next to him also joked.

"Well, the fog is heavy in the morning, and the barrel of the gun is a little slippery, how can the master be injured by an arrow. Ding Cai knew that the master did not blame him.

"Go to the Eighth Brigade to work hard, and if you dare to lose my face, you will never be spared! If you return to the army for training, maybe there will be an opportunity for a breakthrough. ”

Ding Kui did not doubt that Ding Cai had the ability to command a thousand soldiers, after all, he had followed him for so many years, and he had extraordinary escape skills, even if he lost the battle, he would not lose too much to his subordinates.

"Congratulations to Brother Cai!" Gong Le finally knew what was going on, and couldn't help but show envious eyes.

"Your ability will not be buried, the country is the time to employ people, and there will be many opportunities to arrange for you to serve in the army in the future. Ding Kui said to a few other soldiers.

Several pro-soldiers nodded violently, only Ding Fen pouted and said, "I'm not uncommon to be an officer!"

"You little girl, how many soldiers can you control like that? Ding Kui was amused.

"Who will wait for you when you're gone?" Ding Fen disagreed.

"You don't need to worry about this, tell me how many enemies I shot today, and I can ask your master for credit. ”

During the day, her army shot Ding Kui, of course Ding Fen would not stand idly by, someone was responsible for the interception, she took revenge, and also showed off her archery skills.

"Well, fifteen, no, sixteen! One arrow pierced the one in front, and the one in the back was wounded, so I was hit. Ding Fen bit his index finger and counted.

Her eyesight is not ordinarily good, otherwise she would not be accepted as an apprentice by Qian Bu, and she can see the arrows she shoots clearly on the chaotic battlefield.

This number of kills compares all the pro-soldiers, of course, it can't be regarded as Ao Yu underwater.

Someone is indispensable to compliment Ding Fen, it is not a shame to please this "military pet", there is no one in the whole army who does not like her. The little girl ran around to give orders to Ding Kui, met smiling faces everywhere, and received gifts from acquaintances from time to time, definitely a veritable "military pet".

Ding Cai did not leave immediately, and waited until the next morning to bid farewell to Ding Kui, and Gong Le sent him to the Chunlu River, called the warship on the opposite side, and took him over the port city.

After crossing the river, he encountered something unpleasant, and today the south bank was responsible for guarding the boat.

Ji Zhubao was beaten with a military stick and crawled on the bed for seven or eight days last time, and naturally knew afterwards that Xiao Yanding's injury was much lighter than him, and he hated Gong Le who was executed, and at the same time hated Ding Cai who beat Xiao Yanding, but he didn't dare to hate Ding Fen.

Today, his subordinates took Ding Cai across the river, and he deliberately arranged for a number of squad leaders and squadron leaders to verify Ding Cai's identity, and finally he came forward to verify it again, intending to make things difficult for Ding Cai.

Ding Cai suffered a secret loss as soon as he took office in the 74th Division, and he couldn't get out of the fire, and he understood it in his heart when he saw Ji Zhubao.

"You kid wait for me, there will always be a chance to rectify you in the future. He wrote it down in his heart.

He still has friends in the division, Xiao Yanding didn't know where to wait for the news, knowing that he was coming to Port City to take office, he specially came to the south bank to pick him up.

"Brother Cai, congratulations, I will be able to ask you for advice often in the future. ”
