Xuanyuan Fang reminded Shi Huai that the Jin State stationed troops on the border was by no means intimidating, but really planned to attack on a large scale, and Shi Huai thought that Xuanyuan Fang was timid and afraid of death, and was alarmist, not only ignored it, but also scolded Shi Huai, expelled him from the court in public, and rushed home.

It can be said that in the current Red Court, Xuanyuan Fang is the only one who dares to admonish Shi Huai, looking around at the other ministers of the Red Kingdom, they all only pick what Shi Huai likes to hear, only know how to sing praises and flattery, but no one can give good words.

But it's a pity that Xuanyuan Fang was still angered by Shi Huai, and the relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point.

On the other side, the Jin army is also preparing to start troops out of Twin Peaks City and enter the Red Kingdom.

As the vanguard corps, the First Army Corps has felt the pressure doubly at this time, and whether the main force of the Jin Army can smoothly advance to the Red Country is directly related to whether they can win the battle.

Before sending out the troops, Ding Feng gathered all the generals and strategists under his command together to discuss the specific details of the battle against the Red Army.

In addition to the Huwei Army with superior combat effectiveness, there are also 200,000 central troops and tens of thousands of local troops stationed in the north of the Red Kingdom, with a large number of troops, which should not be underestimated.

The Huwei army is also stationed in the Huwei army camp, far away from the Jin-Chi border, of the 200,000 central army, of which 100,000 are in Yangchuan City, and another 100,000 are stationed in Bailin City, although these two cities are border cities, but one is in the east and the other is in the west, which is hundreds of miles apart.

And between the two cities, is the town of Chi Shui, this town is an important town of Chi country, facing the twin peaks of Jin country, said to be a town, but it is actually similar to the city. The town of Lower Water is not only large in size. The city wall is also high, and there is a twenty-meter-high watchtower in the north of the city, so it can be said that as long as the Jin army leaves Shuangfeng City, it will enter the monitoring range of Xiashui Town dozens of miles south. Once the enemy situation is discovered, the beacon tower in Xiashui Town will be lit as soon as possible, and the Yangchuan and Bailin garrisons that have received the information will rush over from the east and west directions to reinforce them.

Speaking of which, the border defense deployment of the Red Kingdom is also very thorough. The two cities are sandwiched by a town, echoing each other from afar, moving one will lead to all, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is also a tiger army with outstanding combat effectiveness in the rear as a backup. Shi Huai is not afraid of the Jin army's southward movement, and he also has his reasons.

It seems that the border defense of the Red Kingdom is airtight and very perfect, but in Ding Feng's eyes, it is full of fighters.

He said to his generals and advisers: "This time, your lord has ordered my first army to be the vanguard. It is the weight of our wait, and we must not let the adults down, this battle, we must make a good start, we must win, the brothers in the ranks, let's talk about it, this battle, how should we fight?"

Then. Kong Xiao, the commander of the First Corps, intervened and said, "General." Our army can take Xiashui Town directly and tear through the Red Army's defense line from the center. ”

"General Kong, don't be impulsive, Xiashui Town is not so easy to attack!" Zhang Ting, a counselor of the army, said: "There are as many as 50,000 garrisons in Xiashui Town, and the city is strong, and the enemy is stubbornly defending, so my army may be difficult to break through in a short time." In addition, the two cities of Yangchuan and Bailin on the east and west sides are less than 300 miles away from Xiashui Town, and once the enemy troops in the two cities come to reinforce them, they will form a situation of encirclement and encirclement of our army. ”

Kong Xiao said in a shocking voice: "To fight a war is to fight morale! We must break through from the strongest part of the enemy, and only in this way can our army bring out its military prestige and morale, and overwhelm the opponent in momentum, and the next battle will become much easier. ”

Ding Feng nodded secretly, this is the experience of a hundred battles! It is the morale that fights in battle, and as long as we overwhelm the enemy in morale, it is not difficult to defeat a thousand with a hundred or 100,000 with 10,000. Seeing that Zhang Ting was still about to speak, Ding Feng waved his hand and said, "I think General Kong is right, either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, you will completely crush the morale of the enemy with heavy fists." ”

"General......" Zhang Ting still has to feel that it is too risky to directly attack Xiashui Town. Ding Feng smiled slightly, tapped his forehead and said, "Of course, if you want to fight the water town, you can't do it brutally, you have to know how to use some brains." ”

Everyone asked in unison, "What does the general mean ......?"

Ding Feng bit his lip and pondered for a long time, and then said faintly: "Feint to attack Xiashui Town, divide the troops into two routes, and ambush them separately on the only way for Yangchuan and Bailin to reinforce and go into the water." ”

Everyone's spirits were lifted, and Zhang Ting suddenly realized: "What the general means...... Reinforcements?"

"Not bad!" Ding Feng sneered and said: "The main force of the border defense of the Red Kingdom is on the 200,000 Central Army, as long as our army eats the 200,000 Central Army, the local army in Xiashui Town is not afraid, even if there are more troops and the city defense is stronger, it is just a group of pigs and sheep that have been washed and waiting for our army to slaughter!"

Hearing this, everyone grinned. The boss was full of confidence, and the generals below were also full of ambition, and people rubbed their fists and clashed their hands, eager to rush out of the city immediately to start a decisive battle with the Red Army.

Ding Feng raised his head, bowed slightly, and said, "General Wuya?"

Although Lin Haotian sent Ling Wuya over for his dispatch, the military ranks of the two were not much different, and Ding Feng was still very polite to Ling Wuya.

Ling Wuya was also in debt, and asked, "I don't know what General Ding's dispatch is?"

Ding Fengzhengse said: "I handed over the first, fourth, fifth, and eighth corps to General Ling, and General Ling led the fourth corps to ambush between Yangchuan and Xiashui Town. As he spoke, he got up and walked to the front of the sand table, looked down, and then stretched out his hand and said, "There are many mountains and valleys here, which is convenient for hiding soldiers, and General Ling can lead the army to ambush here and sneak attack the Red Country reinforcements!"

Ling Wuya nodded as he watched and listened, and when Ding Feng finished speaking, he responded, "Okay! ”

Ding Feng smiled, and then arched his hand and said, "General Shao Lin?"

"Here!" Shao Lin got up and stepped forward.

Ding Feng said: "I hand over the second, third, sixth, and seventh four corps to you, and you can lead the army to ambush in the dense forest between Bailin and Xiashui, where the jungle is very thick, and there are many suitable places for ambushes, and General Shao Lin can choose by himself." ”

Shao Lin replied with an expressionless face and an indifferent tone: "General Ding can rest assured. ”

With the assistance of Ling Wuya and Shao Lin, Ding Feng really saved a lot of heart, and the most important point is that Ling Wuya and Shao Lin are both fierce generals who can write and martial arts, whether they fight alone or in command, they are outstanding.

After arranging the ambush on both sides, Ding Feng said: "The remaining 9th and 10th Corps will go into the water with our attack, and in this battle, although we are a feint, we must also show momentum, so that the enemy will think that our army is the main force to attack." ”

"The last general understands!" the ninth and twelfth corps commanders replied.

Before leaving Twin Peaks, the First Army had already formulated a specific plan to swallow all the border guards of the Red Kingdom in one go, and all the steps were arranged very carefully, and even thought about how to deal with the Huwei Army once it came to their aid.

Before each battle, Ding Feng would repeatedly negotiate with his subordinates to finalize the details of the battle, and once the battle began, the First Army only needed to implement the plan according to the plan.

On the second day of the month, the 100,000 men of the First Legion marched out of Twin Peaks. More than a dozen cavalry detachments were like more than a dozen sharp swords, taking the first step into the Chijing, sweeping the Chiguo checkpoints and small strongholds along the way, and paving the way for the advance of their own main army behind.

The Jin army came prepared, had been gathering momentum for a long time, and knew everything about the checkpoints and strongholds arranged by the Red Kingdom, and the cavalry detachments acted like a whirlwind and clouds, pulling out the checkpoints and strongholds everywhere one by one.

The news of the Jin army's large-scale invasion also soon spread to Xiashui Town, where the current commander of the Red Kingdom was Hu Yi, who was slightly higher in rank than the commander of the corps, and was directly appointed and dispatched by the imperial court. The 50,000 local troops stationed in Xiashui Town were all under the command of Hu Yi.

Hearing the news of the Jin army's southward movement, Hu was frightened and hurriedly asked the detective report: "How many people are there in the Jin army?

"Returning to General Hu, the Jin army has no less than 100,000 troops, and the military flag is marked with the names of 'one' and 'ding', which must be the main force of the first army of the Jin country. The spy replied urgently.

After hearing this, the three souls and seven spirits were almost frightened out of their bodies, the first legion is here, so what kind of legion is the first legion, it is the most elite and fierce legion in the Jin country. He hurriedly asked, "In which direction is the First Legion going?"

"This ...... This ......," the spy stammered, and did not speak for a long time.

"You mean!"

"Back to General, the First Legion is coming to our Shui Town!" (To be continued......)
