"If I hadn't gone to the royal outpost that year, I might have joined the 95th Division, and maybe I'd be the enemy of you tonight. "Shao Diancheng is not too happy, but a little sad.

"Fortunately, my lord brought you here, and it is unpredictable to fight against you. Of the three veteran captains, you have the most ideas, and tonight is all thanks to you for such brilliant results. Lei Feixiang is in a good mood and chooses good words to say.

"I'm just lucky. Qin Lili's temper is a little impatient, and it may not be so smooth for someone else. Outside the city, there should be more fortifications for cavalry, and the most suitable for cavalry attacks is ours here, and Xianggou City has a moat. Shao Diancheng cleaned up his mood and prepared to devote himself to the aftermath work.

The battle on the city wall exposed the shortcomings of the weak individual quality of the Protector Army, one-on-one melee combat alone can not beat the ten legions, and even two against one may not be able to win, and the subsequent battles should try to avoid melee hand-to-hand combat.

Building a large number of fortifications can reduce contact with enemy forces, so there are countless fortifications outside the city of Nanjing.

Because the defense of Nanjing City was too strict, Ding Kui didn't want to alarm the defenders too early, so he called Tan Shang to go to investigate together. The two Level 6 fighters had countless ways to cross the cordon without alerting the guards in the slightest.

"Hehe, with such dense fortifications, I don't see a small queue of open space. Ding Kui was shocked by the sight in front of him.

Seven or eight hundred meters outside the city is densely covered with city fortifications, all kinds of antlers, trenches, deer barrages, trenches, thorn belts and so on criss-crossed, there are not many flat land that can stand, and the largest piece of side by side ten people can not stand.

Tan Shang controlled a cloud of mist, enveloping him and Ding Kui, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that Shaodianxi has sent more than 100,000 people to build it, and this kind of defense standard is only higher than that of Zhenjing, but it is you who fight too fiercely and frighten people." ”

"Building another magic tower in the city is indeed comparable to the national capital, and it can't be defeated without enough strength. Ding Kui had a headache when he looked at it.

He likes to attack cities by surprise, try to bypass the defenses, pick the weakest place to attack, and advocate breaking the city at the lowest cost.

"You and I can't attack, we can only rely on infantry to attack, and it's better to send more magicians in addition to that. "Tan Shang is not afraid of fortifications.

In the past, when the Eighth Legion encountered such a difficult city, it only needed to send him out of the horse, and a forbidden spell could be smashed down, and no matter how strong the city defense was, it could be smashed open.

This is the reason why few cities bother to build city defenses, and any city defense fortifications are tofu scum projects in front of the forbidden magicians, and it is useless to build as much as they want.

"I've heard that there are quite a few magicians in the city, so I'm going to invite more. Ding Kui was thinking about where to hire a magician.

The main attack on the city of Nanjing was the Eighth Army, the troops with the least new weapons, only a few divisions were equipped with strong crossbows, and iron pulleys and ballistae were not, and they had to rely on more "primitive" methods to attack the city, and the demand for magicians was relatively large.

Now more and more magicians are willing to serve the small court, but most of them tend to be civilian, and not many are willing to go to the battlefield, so it takes a little effort to get moving.

"Please do it early, the weather here is still relatively cold before March, ice magic can clear most of the city defenses, which is more efficient than fire magic, and a little later, the weather will warm, and ice magic has no bonus, so it is relatively difficult to clear the city defenses. Tan Shang gave a professional advice.

"Three months ago, there was less than a month to go, and I barely made it in time. Ding Kui's eyes rolled a few times, "I really want to rush into the state pastor's mansion now, and we will arrest Shao Dianxi back." ”

"It's not that easy, there should be someone from the clan mansion to protect the state pastor, regardless of whether you have an agreement with the Gongsun family or not. ”

"And this is the case?" Ding Kui had never heard of.

"Of course, the state pastor is not allowed to leave the state city, but in times of crisis, the clan government must always do something to protect the state pastor against foreign invasion, unless the general trend is gone, and nothing can be saved. ”

Tan Shang belongs to the grandfather generation in front of Ding Kui, and he naturally has a wider range of knowledge.

"Let's go, I'll go back and set it up. Ding Kui had no choice but to give up the idea of catching Shao Dianxi.

When necessary, he can tear his face with the Gongsun family, and the current relationship is not very good anyway.

......

Duping County, the county guard mansion has become the headquarters of the 21st Army Corps, Gu Jun and Liang Chong have plans to live here for a long time, and send the courtyard near the city to prepare for the future, and the new county guard will take office in the future, so that they can move out.

"Report, the 201st Division reported that the enemy took the initiative to withdraw from Baiyun City last night, and now the 209th Division is stationed in Baiyun City, and the 201st Division is pursuing to the north to find the enemy. ”

This battle report was sent back by Xinying, indicating that the 209th Division had released Xinying before it had fully controlled Baiyun City, and there should be no resistance from the defenders.

"Oh?" Ryogong frowned in thought.

"Yo, Gongsun Mi gave me such a big gift, I can't believe it. Gu Jun checked the battle report repeatedly, and it didn't look like it was fake.

"Yesterday, Ma Ju and Xi Xiu captured Anyang County, Luo Tao and Shu Li took the opportunity to take the western part of Anyang County, completely cutting off the road for Gongsun Mi to return to help. Liang Gong walked to the sand table, "Is he going back to help or retreating to Guanhua County?"

"Defending Guanhua County is a clever move, lengthening our army's battle line, dispersing our forces, preventing the Eighth Army from raiding Guanhua County, and preserving the last passage between Weiguo County and Nannuma Prefecture. Gu Jun was looking at the state map.

"It's not that simple!" Ryogong also walked to the state map.

"That's right! Nanjing City is gone, and Guanhua County can't hold it, so it's better to come back to help. ”

"Nanjing City is gone, and Guanhua County may not be able to keep it. Liang Gong's index finger pointed on the map, and he slid from Guanhua County to Weiguo County to stop.

Gu Jun pondered Lianggong's words carefully, and suddenly his face changed, and he said, "Could it be that the Gongsun family has that kind of thought?"

"The Gongsun family supports Zhenjing City and the Prince Regent, and it is not difficult to ask for a decree to help defend Nannuma Prefecture, but it may not be as you think. Liang Gong shook his head gently.

"It's not that I'm too careful, you see, Wenguo County, Guanhua County, Weiguo County, Liguo County...... It can be connected to form the territory of a small half of the state, and such a strength should not be underestimated. Gu Jun circled a piece on the map.

"It's still a question of whether those families join forces, and besides, one state is not enough to protect itself, let alone half a state. "Liang Gong's big picture is slightly better.

"Well, regardless of him, Guanhua County is not within our scope of responsibility, I want the territory of Duping County, and it is a good thing for Gongsun Mi to retreat. Gu Jun also felt that he was thinking too much.

The 21st Army pretended to be the 8th Army Corps, and the task was to drag down Gongsun Mi and take the remaining cities of Duping County.

"Yes, you can send the 202nd Division to the northwest, the 205th Division to the northeast, the 210th Division to Baiyun City to change defenses, and the 209th Division to chase the 201st Division. "Liang Gong has a specific battle plan.

It is worthy of the contemporary Tianji Hou, who only speaks to make corresponding adjustments to the changes in the enemy's army, and the reaction speed is extremely fast.

"Please give the order to the Chief of Staff. "Gu Jun delegated power.

The two of them have the same heart and mind, and they cooperate tacitly, which is the greatest support of the 21st Legion.

Ding Kui soon received the news and arrived in Anyang County.

"Where do you want to go?" he also ran to the state map and pondered.

There is no chief of staff by his side, only the staff officers of the 76th and 79th divisions, and he will only analyze the whereabouts of Gongsun Mi according to the routine.

"No, no, no, you're not right. Ding Kui gestured on the map with his hand, "It will take at least a whole day for the local army to withdraw from Duping County, and it will be tomorrow morning when they arrive at the western border of Anyang County, aren't you afraid that our army will set up an ambush? Where are the 199th and 200th Divisions?"

A staff officer replied: "Bai'an City, the 200th Division has changed guards with the 111th Division, and General Han led the army to Nanjing City according to your order." ”

"The 72nd Division and the 73rd Division are on their way here, and they are expected to arrive by noon tomorrow, and Chief of Staff Jiang will be a day late. Another staff officer answered in advance without waiting for Ding Kui to ask.

"Oh, the entire Eighth Army Corps has entered Anyang County, the Commander's Mansion has been ordered, and the Nannuma Prefecture Theater has been newly established, I am the commander of the theater, Jiang Zhi is the chief of staff of the theater, except for the troops in Dongxing County, the whole army is assigned to the Nannuma Prefecture Theater. "Ding Kui is going to be unified.

Dongxing County has three divisions of Yi Sheng, which are responsible for preventing the impact of the beast tide in the swamp, and no one has the right to move.

Jiang Zhi rushed to Anyang County half a day ahead of schedule, and it is said that a war horse was killed.

"It would be nice to have a railway, and the troops could take the rail car to rush without exerting physical strength. "He's tired enough.

"Don't worry, you take a breath and drink a glass of water. Ding Kui poured a glass of warm water himself.

"Didn't you order the magicians from all over the world to come as soon as possible? Not to mention this, where is Gongsun Mi now?" Jiang Zhi knew that he had become the chief of staff of the war zone.

"As I and Chief of Staff Liang guessed, I went to Guanhua County, and I heard that a large number of people rushed from Weiguo County to Guanhua County. "Ding Kui used the secret line of the Security Bureau in Weiguo County.

To pass the news in Weiguo County, you don't need to pass it directly to Nanqiu County, you just need to send a code message to the Zhongmo Branch in Zhennan City, and someone will send a message to the magic tower in Hengfu City, and the means are very secretive.

The magic tower of Hengfu City is full of Ding Kui's henchmen, and now all the information is transmitted there, and then transferred to Shaodian Luan, who can receive it in the teleportation secret room of the Princess's Mansion and the Earl's Mansion.

Jiang Zhi immediately decided: "In this case, you can transfer all the troops in Anyang County to surround Nanjing City and start fighting." ”

"Drink the saliva, I'll pour it. Ding Kui supervised Jiang Zhi to drink water, "You have to wait for the magician, the defense of Nanjing City is too tight, and the morale will be slack if it is surrounded for too long, so it is best to take it in one go." ”

"It's a little difficult, the enemy's offensive in Yanling County has been suspended, the Tenth Army has retreated, only the Second Southern Army is active, and we have to ambush the Ten Army once. After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he quickly took a sip of water.

"The Tenth Legion, it's really a trouble! It's not very useful but it can disgust people, is there a way to keep them in Nannuma Prefecture?" Ding Kui was a little afraid of the harassment of the cavalry legion.

"There is no better way than ambush. The terrain to the north of Nannuma Prefecture and to the south of Yangyuan Prefecture is flat, and the Ten Legions can move in a vast depth, and they have enough magicians to make it difficult to keep them. ”
