Zhang Liao came over and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy army has retreated. ”

"Fortunately, Wenyuan came in time, otherwise... I'm going to be in trouble. Xu Ding smiled.

"The last general is still a little late."

"Nope. The time to come was just right. Xu Ding took Zhang Liao and went to the wormhole.

Jia Heng also followed.

"Wen Yuan. How's Jianye doing now? Xu Ding asked casually.

"Jianye has been captured. The 1st and 2nd armies are preparing to support here. The last general was ordered to be the advance army, and he came first to listen to the tune. Zhang Liao replied.

"Okay..."

Xu Ding said: "Look ahead, that's the wormhole. ”

"Where did the enemy come from?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Yes."

"On the other side of the cave, is it the world of the Western Shang Empire?"

......

Xu Ding is not very clear.

On the other side of the cave, is the Western Shang Empire? Or what? You don't know until you see it with your own eyes.

However, this thing cannot be seen.

Xu Ding had no choice but to say: "It should be." ”

"General Wenyuan, what is our next task, do you know?"

"The last will know." Zhang Liao pointed to the wormhole in front of him: "We have to defend here." Do not let the enemy troops in the country escape. It is also necessary to prevent the Western Shang Empire from sending troops to Jiangdong. ”

"That's right!"

Zhang Liao in a word.

Xu Ding said: "The 30,000 cavalry you brought are the vanguard and main force of the First and Second Group Armies. Every time there is a big war, you can make a big difference. This time, defending Wu County and garrisoning the wormhole will also play your role. ”

Zhang Liao said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best in the end." ”

"Hmm."

Xu Ding believed that Zhang Liao would do his best.

But...

If you want to defend the wormhole, you can't just do your best, you have to have a plan and strategy.

Just like the other day, when I first captured the wormhole.

Xu Ding and Jia Heng both thought that the defense of the wormhole was invulnerable.

The special forces and the Royal Forest Army, guarded in shifts, set the wormhole as a forbidden area within a radius of five miles.

But unexpectedly, another division of enemy troops appeared out of nowhere. They suddenly appeared outside the wormhole, and the special forces and the Royal Guards didn't have time to react.

Soon after the battle, they fell downwind and were besieged on the top of the mountain.

If it weren't for Zhang Liao's help, Xu Ding would have been unable to survive.

.......

Went around in circles in the wormhole.

I went back to the tent outside.

Jia Heng always frowned, and he said, "Your Majesty, this group of enemies has not known where they came from. In the territory of Wu County, there is still none. If there is, we need to clean it up quickly. ”

"You reminded me well, I was about to order an investigation."

Xu Ding had already thought about this question carefully.

After conquering the wormhole, there were a hundred royal forest troops, looking at the wormhole.

The Western Shang Empire is absolutely impossible to send troops from the wormhole.

One of the divisions that appeared must have been lurking somewhere in Wu County in advance, waiting to deliver a fatal blow. If it weren't for Zhang Liao, they would have succeeded.

Xu Ding took out a detailed map of Wu County, handed it to Zhang Liao, and said, "Wenyuan, take a good look." This is a detailed map of Kure County. According to the map, you send out cavalry to block the main roads. and launched a comprehensive search for the nearby mountains. Beware of the enemy lurking in the mountains and attacking us again. ”

"Yes."

Zhang Liao responded.

Cavalry is expensive in speed, whether it is blocking the road, or chasing the enemy, it can get the first opportunity.

It was only fitting that Xu Ding sent Zhang Liao to carry out this task.

........

In the next few days, Zhang Liao was busy with his feet not touching the ground.

First of all, he had to make sure that there were no more enemy troops in the territory of Wu County.

He then sent more than 5,000 cavalry, divided into more than 50 teams, each team of 100 people, to the counties and mountains of Wu County, first set up roadblocks, and then carried out a search.

The process is long.

Because although the area of Kure County is small, there are many mountain ranges.

Searching all the mountains is definitely not something that can be done in a day or two.

In the meantime.

The armies of Jia Xu and Lu Su arrived one after another.

Now Xu Ding is relieved.

The 1st and 2nd armies numbered 100,000 men.

Such a huge military force...

Even if the Western Shang Empire transfers troops again, it will have the strength to fight.

In just a few days.

The defense of Kure County was done.

Xu Ding convened a large meeting.

This meeting will decide which troops will stay and who will leave.

Because of the group army of more than 100,000, it is impossible to stay in Wu County.

Qi County.

in the living room.

Xu Ding sat down and said, "It has been more than 20 days since we entered Jiangdong. During this time, we fought successive enemy forces and won all of them. ”

"There were originally two divisions of wormhole defenders, and three divisions of Jianye defenders. All were wiped out. It's the result of everyone's concerted efforts. ”

"Here, I promise you that when you return to Xuchang, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds. Especially the special forces officers and soldiers who died in battle.... When he said this, Xu Ding glanced at Jia Heng.

As the commander of the special forces, he felt it the most.

In order to bear the onslaught of the enemy, sacrifices were paid again and again.

Only one hundred and twenty people can still breathe now.

Jia Heng arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"I've promised before, and now I'll promise again..." Xu Ding took a deep breath and said, "No matter how high or low, no matter how big or small your position is, as long as you pay, you will be rewarded." ”

........

Xu Ding launched a speech offensive, and the civil and military people who said it were all enthusiastic.

Everyone shouted: "Drive out all the troops of the Western Shang Empire!" ”

Xu Ding struck while the iron was hot and said: "Now Fengxiao is still fighting in Nanchang to fight against 50,000 enemy troops. In the Jingzhou area, there were also tens of thousands of enemy troops. We need to rush to destroy this massive enemy as quickly as possible. ”

"Zijing."

"The minister is here."

Xu Ding said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will personally lead the army and rush to Nanchang." After I left, Wu County and Jianye needed to be heavily armed. You stay and garrison. ”

Lu Su asked: "I don't know how many troops Your Majesty has given to your ministers?" ”

"Fifty thousand, is that enough?"

"So much?"

Lu Su was taken aback.

He thought that Xu Ding would only give him a few thousand soldiers and horses, because Wu County had already been captured, and no matter how many troops he had, it would be useless.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ding gave the establishment of 50,000 troops.

That's too much.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"You mean, too much?" Xu Ding asked.

"yes."

Xu Ding said with a smile: "Zijing, you have 50,000 troops, if you can really hold Wu County and Jianye, I will give you a great credit." Moreover, the credit goes to all the generals. ”

"Hehe..."

Lu Su couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said in his heart: "This is too simple. ”

........

Garrisoning Wu County, on the surface, is indeed easy.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem easy.

Because there are great variables.

Once the Western Shang Empire sent troops out of the wormhole, the defenders stationed in Wu County had to immediately join the war. With the combat effectiveness of the troops of the Western Shang Empire, it is simply difficult to stop.

Jia Xu said: "Zijing, don't underestimate this task. It was more difficult for him to destroy the 100,000 enemy troops in Jingzhou. You have to know that on the opposite side of the wormhole, there are millions of troops of the Western Shang Empire. And we, who know nothing about the Western Shang Empire. Whether you can win or not depends on you. ”

"I know."

Lu Su quickly reacted and arched his hand: "Your Majesty.. The ministers will do their best. ”

"Hmm."

Xu nodded fixedly.

Because he believed in Lu Su, he handed over this important task to Lu Su.

I won't regret it now.

"The rest of the troops, with me in the starry night, rushed to Nanchang. I have a hunch that the division led by Feng Xiao will not last long. We want to go to war as soon as possible. ”

Wu County is far from Nanchang and cannot be monitored by satellite systems.

Xu Ding wanted to understand the battle situation, but it was difficult to do so.

You can only attack the past and see.

this day.

Xu Ding led the army and went straight to Nanchang.

On the way, we passed through Wanling, Chaisang and other places.

These are all important towns in Jiangdong.

If there are still enemy troops in Jiangdong, then the enemy troops should be in these places.

"Have you looked for it carefully?" During the march, Xu Ding asked Jia Xu.

Jia Xu replied: "I have searched carefully, and there are no enemy troops in any city. Maybe... In the territory of Koto, there are really no enemy troops. The division that appeared before was their last reliance, and since it has been wiped out by us, Jiangdong is all under Your Majesty. ”

"Not necessarily."

Xu Ding didn't dare to be careless.

Last time I was with Jia Heng, I was fooled.

was caught off guard by a division of the enemy.

If the vigilance had been higher, there would not have been so many deaths.

"Your Majesty thinks, is there still an enemy army in Jiangdong?" Jia Xu asked.

"This has to be searched by Zhang Liao, how do I know."

Xu Ding is worried.

If there is a first, there will be a second.

In case a large number of enemy soldiers lurking in Jiangdong and appearing in the weakest place, the soldiers stationed in Jiangdong will be in danger.

"Zijing doesn't seem to care much about this matter, but the minister is a little worried." Jia Xu said.

"I've warned him a few times, and I'm sure he'll care."

........

As for Jiangdong's defense issues, Xu Ding is indeed worried.

But Lu Su has served in Jiangdong for many years, and he knows the situation in Wu County better than anyone else.

Now he has an army of 50,000 in his hands, and Zhang Liao has brought him a deputy. Among them, 30,000 iron cavalry are elite mobile troops. As long as Lu Su is cautious, it will not be difficult to hold Jiangdong.

Vertical day.

Xu Ding led the army to Nanchang.

The war in Nanchang was more troublesome than he imagined.

Five enemy divisions occupied the high ground on all sides of Nanchang.

Condescending, looking at Nanchang.

As long as Guo Jia leads the army out, he will be attacked immediately.

What's even more troublesome...

The enemy troops stationed in Jingzhou were frightened and hurriedly evacuated when they learned that Jianye and the wormhole had been breached. I didn't even want Jingzhou, and I rushed to Nanchang with all my might. Prepare to fight all the way back to Jiangdong and capture the wormhole.

In this way, Guo Jia's division has to face ten enemy divisions!

If it weren't for Xu Dingqin leading a large army, he would have been defeated in less than two days.

Bang bang bang...

Guo Jia, who was standing at the head of the city, was worried.

Suddenly, I heard gunfire from the north.

He instinctively thought that the enemy had attacked.

Guo Jia hurriedly shouted: "Come on, come on..." ”

"Sir."

A battalion commander defending the city came.

Guo Jia said: "Summons the order to meet the enemy!" ”

"Yes."

The battalion commander went to give the order.

Soon, all the high-ranking generals came to the city tower and dispatched after listening.

The troops in the city also assembled in the northern city.

Because the gunshots were coming from the north.

Only by passing from the northern city can you reach the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Bang bang bang...

The gunfire continued from the north.

Guo Jia no longer hesitated, and ordered: "The troops who originally defended the city are stationed in four cities. The rest of the brigades and regiments rushed with me to the front line to support. The enemy cannot be allowed to break through our defenses. ”

"No."

Guo Jia has long been familiar with the topography of Nanchang.

There are two main reasons why it has been able to hold on for so long.

First, the soldiers stationed in Nanchang worked together and did not give up lightly when they encountered a dangerous situation.

The second is that there is the Ba River around the city on the south and north sides. It is possible to temporarily reach the advance of enemy troops. At present, these two places are the barriers to the enemy's surprise army and the frontal army.

Yes, Guo Jia heard the gunshots and was very anxious.

I am afraid that the land will be lost.

........

He led his army to the north.

I saw two troops, in a fierce exchange of fire.

And the soldiers he placed at the front were watching the battle.

"Huh?"

Guo Jia looked strange.

How can there be troops fighting with the enemy?

Could it be reinforcements?

He picked up the binoculars and closed the distance.

At a glance, he saw Xu Ding: "It's Your Majesty.... ”

He was pleasantly surprised.

Xu Ding's appearance here shows that the war in Jiangdong has completely ended.

The enemy is in a hurry to return for help, and must have received bad news.

"Sir, shall we fight?" A brigade commander asked.

"Of course you have to fight. Your Majesty is watching from the other side, how can we watch from the wall. The order was given to all the troops coming from Nanchang, alternately covering the advance, attacking the enemy from behind and attracting enemy fire. ”

"Yes."

Both brigade commanders split up.

One as the main attack, one as a cover.

Troops of several thousand men, alternately covering the advance.

And a regiment stationed on the front line, lying in the trenches, also began to attack frantically after receiving Guo Jia's order.

Bang bang bang...

Xu Ding, the attack became more and more ferocious.

There was enough elite of a division to charge the enemy's position.

After Guo Jia launched a general attack, he quickly gained the advantage.

The enemy's three brigades were surrounded within a radius of less than a mile, with neither hills nor dangerous grounds. Behind him was a small river, and across the river was Guo Jia's troops.

On the other side, they still had to resist Xu Ding's attack.

In general, it was a back-to-back battle, and it was attacked from front to back.

The situation is so unfavorable.

Not to mention that they don't have many troops, even if they have an army, they can't carry it.

.......

An hour of fighting.

The enemy's reinforcements arrived, but were intercepted by Tai Shi Ci's cavalry, and failed to reach the frontal battlefield in time.

The strength of the three brigades was wiped out by Xu Ding and Guo Jia on the riverbank.

"Your Majesty..."

After the victory, Guo Jia took people and ran across the river with a smile.

Xu Ding also walked to the bank of the river and met Guo Jia: "Fengxiao is stationed in Nanchang, is your body okay?" ”

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, everything is fine with the minister."

"That's good."

Xu Ding has always been worried about Guo Jia.

Historically, after he helped Cao Cao gain the north, he fell ill and died. Although there is no pathology, it is inevitable of history, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to change.

I don't know when, Guo Jia will have to accept his fate.

Xu Ding took a closer look, Guo Jia's face was full of red light, and he was full of energy, Xu is victory just now made him happy. Of course, the physical condition is also good.

It seems that there is really no problem.

Xu Ding said: "How many troops are there in Nanchang now? How many troops are there in the enemy? ”

"During the time I was stationed in Nanchang, I suffered a brigade of casualties. There are less than 5,000 people who can still fight. The enemy army occupied the dangerous points outside the city and formed an encirclement of Nanchang. Probably... There are also 35,000 troops. Guo Jia replied.
