Shao Dianzhang is not a person who only relies on his staff, he has worked diligently in the position of commander for more than 20 years, has experienced several major wars, and he will watch if he can't fight.

He can roughly understand Ding Kui's strategic intentions and tactical thinking, which is to disrupt the rhythm of the rebel rear, and it is possible to fight Haishan Prefecture if he does not.

The situation in Wangzhou will undergo major changes, and the situation in Zhongwangzhou will also change, and the reason for this series of changes is that he appointed Ding Kui as the commander of the counterinsurgency!

"Hahaha!" he couldn't stop laughing, "Ding Kui turned the tide of the war in Nannuma Prefecture not long after he joined the army, and I should have promoted him at that time."

Where did the Marquis of the Protector go? With the Marquis of the Protector in the General Staff, would the Yang family still dare to rebel? We should really look for the Marquis of Ding Qi. ”

"As a high-ranking person, you should try your best to promote capable subordinates, why do everything yourself? Isn't it good to save some energy to cultivate?" he secretly made up his mind to reuse Ding Kui.

......

The offensive and defensive battle of the Demon Suppression Pass started again, and the main attacking side was the descendants of the Eighteen Legions.

A large number of long-range attack troops, all kinds of siege equipment, were placed under the pass, and Cheng Jie, a confidant of Yang Kui, commanded Cheng Jie.

Wang Deng, who was observing the battle situation, received a piece of information, and after reading it, he fell into thought, and Chen Yu next to him did not dare to disturb.

"Ha! This is to use me as his chief of staff, and he will lead his troops to attack the city and conquer the city, leaving me in the back to command, block and contain me, and I will do all the dirty talk. After thinking about it, Wang Deng laughed and was angry.

"My lord, is this?" there was another stunned one next to him.

"Your boss has done a good thing!" Wang Deng folded the information into his arms.

The level of secrecy of this information is a bit high, and even Chen Yu can't read it.

"You may have to face crazy enemies next, no wonder Lei Feixiang is coming, that's really not good news!" Wang Deng reminded Chen Yu.

"Although there are not many more than 2,000 people, but they can save their lives at a critical moment, Lei Feixiang brought out the most elite troops under Ding Kui, and now he is the commander of the National Protector Army, and his ability is estimated to be not below me, what is Lord Wang worried about?" Chen Yu couldn't figure it out.

......

Jin Mangang commanded a blocking battle on the front line, using ballistas and rockets to repel the attack of the Giant Shark Legion, causing more than 10,000 casualties to the enemy.

After the battle, he took the personnel of the command headquarters to the base camp of the southern defense line, and the seat was not yet hot, and the accompanying magician sent a piece of information.

"Yo, it's really unrestrained, you want me to fight like this. He understood at a glance, "The three elites have gathered, and they can't fight as much as they want." No, my legion can't be compared. Chief of staff. ”

"In. ”

"Are our men assembled?"

"Tomorrow morning, by tomorrow evening at the latest. ”

"Well, what about the people of the Eighth Legion?"

"Well, the 72nd Division has just arrived, and the rest should be soon. ”

Jin Man looked at the map.

"Can't wait, the troops of the 22nd Army Corps who have arrived will immediately go to the 15th Army Corps. Hmm, take the 72nd Division with you, lest Jiang Zhi scold me behind my back. ”

"Yes!" the chief of staff of the 22nd Army immediately went to arrange.

"How dare your subordinates scold you? ”

At this time, Jiang Zhi was standing at the door of the big tent with a smile.

When he heard that the 71st Division had run alone, he immediately abandoned the command of the corps, took Tan Shang to catch up, found Hua Mo and asked about the situation, knowing that he could not catch up with the cavalry division, so he had to follow the 72 Division to the base camp of the southern defense line, and also had the intention of supervising Hua Mo.

Jin Man wanted to make up a reason to fool Jiang Zhi, but Jiang Zhi was not fooled, "See for yourself." He finally came up with information.

"The southern defense line is so long, the 22nd Army can't eat it, it's not too much for the subordinates to ask for half. Jiang Zhi could naturally see what his commander wanted to do, "The Commander's Mansion has not yet arranged a corps commander for the Eighth Army Corps, and we are counting the descendants of the commander of the counterinsurgency." ”

"The descendants of the army follow the commander, you are raised by your stepmother. Jin Man humorously interrupted Jiang Zhi.

"Those veterans have a bad temper, and their subordinates can't hold it down. ”

Jin Man imagined the scene of those veterans making trouble behind him, so he chose to compromise: "Alas, okay, if you have the ability, you can persuade Feng De, anyway, your people are not here, and there is still time." ”

"As long as the adults keep it a secret. ”

"This is natural, but don't underestimate the wisdom of others, the first strike is stronger. ”

......

Jiang Li stood on the edge of the sand table and pondered, holding a piece of information in his hand.

Not much.

"Someone come, send an order to all the front-line departments, immediately organize an attack, and it must be launched within two days. ”

......

The march speed of the Fifth Army Corps was not as fast as that of the old regular troops, let alone the elite corps, but they had the 71st Division to open the way, plus professional guides, so they were not caught up by the Ninth Army Corps.

The professional guides are naturally Hui Meng and others, no one is more familiar with the northern defense line than them, they have also attacked some of the rebels' defense lines, and participated in the battle against the rebels in Baise County.

Ding Kui left them in the Fifth Army Corps for now, and Dong Ba personally invited Hui Meng when he set off and took them to open the way together.

Marching to fight a war is different from traveling, where to pass the troops, where there is a safe and sufficient water source, where to get around the town, where to go around the strategic location, etc., with a guide and without a guide are two concepts.

In order to open the way for the two corps, the 71st Division had to choose a wide road, and some checkpoints could not be bypassed, such as Sanjiadu, which was in front of them.

"Sanjiadu is the largest ferry on the Hongyuan River, the water depth is just past the belly of the horse, the cavalry can force through, the current weather infantry can also wade across the river, the carriage and horse can take the pontoon bridge, and it is the closest to the northern defense line. ”

Hui Meng introduced the situation to Dong Ba beside him.

I saw a scout running in the distance, and reported to Dong Ba: "There is a ferry five miles ahead, and there are about 500 soldiers guarding the ferry, and the surrounding sentinels have been cleaned up." ”

"Oh, there's something in the way. Dong Ba looked left and right, "What do you say I should do?"

"Death to those who stand in the way!"

Before the words fell, Dong Ba rushed out behind him, holding his spear high and running in the direction of the ferry.

Immediately after that, a group of men and horses ran out of the large army, holding two flags in front, one was the flag of the 71st Division, and the other was a large group of military flags, and quickly followed the one holding the spear.

"Shameless!" "Oops, a step slow. "He got the first shot. ”“......”

Dong Ba looked at Hui Meng, who was surprised, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Stinky boy who doesn't understand the rules, go back and clean him up!"

He asked if he really wanted to find someone to capture the ferry, according to the old rules of the 71st Division, who agreed to fight first, it was not the first time that a large group rushed to fight like this, and other brigades could only complain that they were slow to react.

"Well, you are hot-blooded, brave and capable, well, please take it lightly. "Hui Meng has never seen such a task, and no one under him dares to do this.

The captains behind covered their mouths and snickered, and Dong Ba also said that he would not really punish him.

Each unit has its own rules, if it is in the tent, the military will not rob it like this, and the field encounter will depend on the reaction, and the rules of the 71st Division are like this.

"Let's go along, put everything that is afraid of water a little higher, and you will have to wade across the river in a while. "Dong Ba did not arrange a follow-up battle.

In his eyes, a large group would soon be able to deal with the defenders of the ferry, including those on the other side of the river.

In fact, two hundred men took the east bank ferry with one charge, and a large captain personally rushed to the opposite bank, firing several rounds of horse crossbows in the middle of the crossing, scattering the defenders of the west bank ferry.

When Dong Ba and Hui Meng crossed the Hongyuan River, a captain led hundreds of horsemen to run back.

"Lord Qiqi, the defenders of the ferry on both sides of the strait have been cleaned up, none of them escaped, and a large team died!"

"Well, you take someone to stay behind to meet the large army. In Dong Ba's cognition, this is already a punishment.

The captain of the first group had a gloomy face and led the people to step aside.

"Ahem, General Dong, did I say something wrong?" Hui Meng faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Ah, no, we have to rush to the enemy's forward base as soon as possible, well, it's inconvenient to take the troops who don't have the physical strength. Dong Ba didn't explain much.

"The enemy army is advancing to the base," Hui Meng swallowed, "I can't make it today, our large group of cavalry will alarm the enemy army, we can go to the Sanssouci Forest camp tonight." ”

The northern defensive line has been extinguished in name only, the rebels have opened several avenues, and the forces on the defensive line have been concentrated in a few large battalions, and there are sentry posts between the avenues, the camps and the key cities.

"Sanssouci Forest, yes. Dong Ba remembered several key points on the map, "We are cavalry, it is not advisable to attack fortifications, and it is a matter of time before a large army comes up and alarms the enemy, and our responsibility is to disturb the enemy's line of sight." ”

"Do you want to go around to the rear of the enemy's advance base?" Hui Meng analyzed according to Dong Ba's character.

"The enemy definitely knows me, knows the superiority of the cavalry, and the attention will definitely be on us. Rest assured, the adults have sent me to be a pioneer and know what I will do. Dong Ba saw Hui Meng's worries.

"Well, I can take you to Baise County. Hui Meng laid out a heart.

The more fierce he rushed with the 71st Division, the greater the credit for him and his subordinates, and he couldn't shirk the responsibility for the annihilation of the 7th Division, and he needed miraculous skills to wash away the shame on his body.

"Hahaha, this is what a general looks like. Dong Ba's sincere words blurted out.

Hui Meng's face was red, and people didn't treat him as the commander of the division.

......

Huanggang City, the headquarters of the original rebel attack on the northern defense line, the advance base of Yang Kui.

After breaking through the northern defense line, it became a temporary logistics base, receiving supplies from the capital of Baise County, and then transferring it to the original base camp of the northern defense line, that is, the camp garrisoned by the rebellious 20th Army Corps, and then transported to the front line.

Left behind in the base camp of Baise County was the rebellious 15th Army, and after the headquarters of Yang Kui moved forward, they divided two divisions to Huanggang City to guard the grain road.

Under the condition that the army of the imperial court in Zhenjing was completely suppressed, 20,000 regular troops were enough to ensure the safety of the grain route, not to mention that there were rebellious 20th legions in the west and 15th rebellious legions in the east, which could send troops to rescue in times of crisis.

"Can't the Fifth Army take Huanggang City, which has only 20,000 defenders?" Ding Kui didn't think the rebels had a chance to rescue.

"If it's the last general, it's definitely no problem, as for Liu Shuai, the last general doesn't dare to guarantee it. "Shaodian Bud has no confidence in friendly forces.
