"What!" Long Kun and Ding Kui stood up together.

Ji Chan and his wife went to Nanjing City to explain that they were going to attend Ding Kui's wedding banquet, which was not a trivial matter.

Ding Kui didn't come to marry the eldest princess Ji Chan back then, but this time he actually brought the princess with him, and I haven't heard of any country where the prince and wife of the Northern Empire are present.

Why did Ji Chan receive the news when he arrived in Ding Kui in Nanjing City?

First of all, the magic teleportation array is not transnational, and it is impossible for Ji Chan to transmit the magic teleportation to Nanqiu County in Luojing City, at least when he enters the territory of the Shaodian Kingdom, he can use the magic teleportation.

Secondly, as he is the right to use the portal, if he wants to go to Linhai State, the rebel magic will always have to open the portal to pick him up.

In the end, because he was in a continuous hurry and did not stop on the road, he did not have time to summon Ding Kui, and the news that Ding Chuan got was sent by the Security Bureau.

"Ordered the 74th Division, Fan Yuzhen led 2,000 people to escort Brother Ji and his wife, and the Security Bureau managed to inform me of Brother Ji. ”

Ding Kui is not worried about Ji Chan's safety, but creates a sense of ritual to bring out the noble status of the guests as a sign of respect.

"Stinky boy, did you bring twenty people with you when you came out to pick me up?" Long Kun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Brother Ji is equivalent to the monarch of a country, and it is in line with the etiquette that I send two thousand Praetorian Guards to accompany me; you are the commander of the equipment department, and I am the deputy commander of the military command department, and it is beyond the specifications to go out of the city to greet you. Ding Kui spread his hands.

"Prince Nanping Demon really gave you face, and brought the princess with him, and the king's wedding is nothing more than that. "Long Kungui is one of the five commanders, and it is also the first time to see the prince of the empire attend a wedding banquet.

"I didn't recognize this big brother in vain! I haven't seen him for a long time that he should be promoted to a forbidden magician, sister-in-law must be, and the worst disciple of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace is also at this level. ”

Ding Kui pretended to dig in his pocket for a while, and took out a token, "This is the enshrinement order of the Prince's Mansion, with it, I can walk sideways in the Gu Yuan Empire, but unfortunately I don't have a chance to use it." ”

"Don't show off! The Imperial Prince has money, if not, you can borrow some from him. Long Kun didn't doubt Ji Chan's financial strength.

"If he were an ordinary person, I would have been able to borrow money, but unfortunately he represents the interests of the Gu Yuan Empire, and it is not appropriate for foreign forces to interfere in our civil war. ”

......

Boom, a dense rain of arrows fell on the wall, and the city defense army of Jizhou City fell, "Squat! Squat! Squat down! The sword and shield soldiers pay attention to cover the hook and spear team, and attack again when they see people! Damn, the siege of the city in the middle of the night, the bandit army of the protector can really toss." "An officer commanded with a cat on his waist.

The Red Army under the city became a "bandit army" in the eyes of the defenders, but there were only a few cities in Nanqiu County that were hostile to the Ding family's private army.

"The first battalion and the second battalion spread out to attack, the third battalion stared at the city gate, and the defenders dared to come out and fight back!"

Now the commander of the crossbow regiment is Shao Dianye, who is commanding the crossbowmen to cover the infantry to attack the city, although it is night, the crossbow regiment still bursts out with strong combat effectiveness, and the defenders on the high wall will be hit by arrows as long as they come up, and they are powerless to stop the infantry from advancing.

On a temporary earthen slope, Kong Wei put down his binoculars and said, "Master Zhong, the ladder has been erected, and you can go to the city." ”

Zhong Wei stared at the wall, carefully observing the defenders' defenses.

There is no general in Jizhou City, and there is not even a person who will face the battle head-on. After looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anyone on the city wall standing up to organize a defense.

Although the strong crossbow is powerful, it is not invincible, and the officers with high combat power wear fine armor, and with the help of the fortifications at the head of the wall, they can completely command against the rain of arrows, at least dare to appear in the field of vision of the attacker, which has a great effect on boosting morale.

It was a battle of great disparity, with the infantry meeting only sporadic resistance after ascending the walls, and organizing a few charges in small groups to crush the defenders.

Zhong Wei didn't wait for the city gate to open, followed the infantry buttocks and climbed up the city wall, pulled a white-haired officer and asked, "Commander Mo, how many defenders have escaped?"

He didn't ask how many defenders had been annihilated, because there were not many corpses on the ground, most of them had been killed by arrows, and there were piles of prisoners crouching in the corners, so it could be seen that the infantry was not fighting fiercely.

"There are more than 100 people, I heard that the officer led by us injured a few of our brothers, as if they had some combat effectiveness. "When Mo Jun came up, the battle at the wall was over.

"Where did you go?" Zhong Wei asked.

"A battalion is chasing, and it shouldn't be able to escape. Mo Jun didn't believe that more than a hundred people could defeat a battalion under his command.

Phew, a magic light bullet flew out of the air.

"Alright, President Cai is contacting the magic guild in the city, and we can attack the city. Kong Wei also climbed the city wall.

"Open the city gates, and order a regiment of strong crossbows to capture the city lord's mansion and other city gates, and a regiment of infantry to clear the remaining enemies in the city. Zhong Wei gave the order as he walked into the city.

The three battalions of the first regiment of the strong crossbow, as the troops behind the palace, lined up neatly and walked into the city gate.

Shao Dianye stood behind the city gate and shouted: "The third battalion will leave a platoon to guard the city gate, and all the rest will go to the City Lord's Mansion! Hurry up! Raise a regiment of military flags for me in the City Lord's Mansion before dawn!"

At this time, Mo Jun happened to pass behind him and said in a low voice: "You even want to steal the limelight of the division commander, do you only raise the military flag of your strong crossbow?"

"Hehe, what if you robbed you of the first achievement? I didn't see your regimental flag on the city tower. Does the division commander still care about this bit of limelight? It is estimated that only the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion can get into his eyes. Shaodian Ye deliberately glanced at the flag fluttering on the city tower.

"Hahaha, ambitious, I'm thinking about Nanjing City now, I hope I can watch you go to the Nannuma County Palace to plant the flag before I retire again. Mo Jun walked away with his hands behind his back.

Shao Dianye shouted in the back: "You'll see!"

The people in Jizhou City did not panic, and they could hear someone shouting outside: "The Red Army for the Protector of the Country captures the traitorous party, and the idle people are not allowed to go out!"

Who in Nanqiu County doesn't know about the Red Army?

In the hearts of the people, the eldest princess and the concubine are high, and the magistrate wants to listen to the concubine, so the private army of the concubine family must be higher than the local army.

The Red Army's attack on Jizhou City was a lesson to the local army, and it had nothing to do with the local people, and those who were bold dared to lie down by the window to watch the excitement and watch the fight between the two armed forces representing the government.

A scout reported: "The infantry regiment and battalion have encountered the enemy in the Knights' Guild, and the battle is still fierce. ”

Zhong Wei and Kong Wei glanced at each other, and each could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

The infantry battalion had five hundred men, and a small knight's guild could actually fight with them.

"Let's go, let's see. Zhong Wei was a little worried, and gave up his plan to go to the City Lord's Mansion first.

The infantry regiment is all veterans who have been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the infantry of the Eighth Legion, but it is not inferior to the ordinary regular army, and it can cause them trouble, which shows that the Jizhou City Knight Guild has a powerful role.

When Zhong Wei and his party arrived at the Knights' Guild, the first battalion of infantry had already entered the gate, but the battle was not over, and it could be seen that there were cavalry assembled on the playground of the guild and seven or eight cavalry formations were set up.

Mo Jun was directing the infantry to pile up debris on the edge of the playground to stop the cavalry charge, and three platoons of infantry lined up behind the debris line, ready to attack across the line at any time.

Three hundred infantry against seventy or eighty knights, the victory is still between two or two.

"Well, there are dreadnought knights!" Zhong Wei saw a dark red figure on the playground at a glance.

Mo Jun noticed their arrival, leaned forward and said, "There are eighty knights, it should be the most elite force in Jizhou City, and the subordinates don't want to cause too many casualties, please send some crossbowmen." ”

He was afraid of the knight's charge, and even if the first battalion of infantry could win, it would be a crushing victory in the end.

"That's the president of the Knight Guild, right?" Kong Weiyao pointed to the dark red figure, "I didn't expect that there was a character in Jizhou City, and he still didn't give up fighting in this adversity. ”

"Sound the horn and call the nearby troops over. Zhong Wei did not hesitate.

He didn't want too much damage to his men.

"I'll go talk to them. He jumped on a horse, picked up his spear, and walked slowly to the playground.

To put it bluntly, this battle is your own people fighting your own people, and there are Shaodian people on both sides, so there is no need to fight to the death.

The other party saw Zhong Wei come out alone, and the dark red figure also left the riding formation alone, and urged the horse to meet him alone.

"Loyal and brave Bo Ding Kui, Zhong Wei. Zhong Wei clenched his fists on horseback and reported to his home.

"Yo! Commander of the First Division of the Red Army Protecting the Country, fortunately, fortunately!" the person who came seemed to have heard of Zhong Wei, "The contemptible person is the president of the Knight Guild of this city, Ling Yi." ”

Ling Yi: I don't think I've heard of this person.

Zhong Wei searched in his mind, but he didn't have any impression at all.

"Chairman Ling, what does it mean that the Red Army for the Protector of the Country has come here to suppress the rebels and wait to attack our army in formation?" he first divided the contradictions clearly.

"I don't see any rebels, you are attacking the city defense army here, as the knights' guild has the obligation to assist the city defense army against foreign attacks. Taking a step back, if the city's city defense forces rebel, what power do you have to suppress it?" Ling Yi questioned Zhong Wei's legitimacy.

"Nanqiu County Shou Shu Wu has long ordered the disbandment of the Jizhou City Defense Army, and ordered the commander Shao Dian Fei to rebuild the City Defense Army, the city defense army in your mouth is composed of the chaotic party, Lord Shu wrote a warrant to me, entrusting me to lead the troops to quell the chaos. ”

Zhong Wei pulled out a document from under his armor and raised it at Ling Yi.

"Hmph, Shu Wu and Ding Kui are in the same stream, and if you don't obey the imperial edict, you are the real rebels!" Ling Yi knew that the document was true, and from Nanqiu County alone, it couldn't be said that Zhong Wei was the same.

"Well, let's not discuss who can represent the court, let's just talk about the current situation, I don't deny that you still have the strength to fight, but you also heard the trumpet just now, and when the crossbowmen arrive, you will only have a dead end.

No matter who the king is, you and I are both young people, there is no need to divide life and death here, even if you don't care for your own life, those knights behind you have not made mistakes, why should they follow you to death?"

In order to raise his voice, Zhong wanted to be heard by all the knights on the playground.

Ling Yi turned around on horseback, his gaze sweeping over each knight.

He was moved, is it worth it to let these people fight and die with him?

He had already seen the combat effectiveness of the crossbowmen, and a hundred infantry in front of him could annihilate them completely.
