Chapter 1478: Battle of Duanshui County (5)
From the east-west direction, Shengong City, Yangwei City, Tianhu City and Tunsha City are the first line, to the north is the first line of Huining City and Tianhe City, and the closest to Diyan Lake is the first line of Shuigu City, Shuikou City and Shuidi City.
Ding Kui led Cao's 32nd and 33rd Divisions to join the 1st and 2nd Divisions, and continued to advance northward without stopping, inserting from Yangwei City and Tianhu City to between Huining City and Tianhe City, leaving the 1st Division to sweep the nearby villages and towns, and the rest of the troops and horses approached Huining City.
Bi Qiao and the others came back again, keeping an eye on Ding Kui's movements on Huining City.
On the card, the Cao army has five sixth-level combat power, and the Qi army only has four, and the Huining City guard has to make up more than a hundred fifth-level combat power and hand them over to Bi Qiao to prepare to deal with Ding Kui and others.
Ding Kui was not in a hurry and did not let the master master fight, and Cao's army was only busy setting up camp and clearing the outer fortifications.
During this period, the forbidden magician of the Qi army flew away from Huining City and ran to Tianhe City, worried that Ding Kui would send Ruan Xingzhu to attack another city, but he came back in a circle, because he found that Tianhe City was besieged but Ruan Xingzhu was missing.
"Oh, you're sent by the Commander's Office, not the Coalition Commander. Ding Kui looked at the big man in front of him and was a little uncertain, "In this way, you act in a group with Xingzhu and Xue Fu and cooperate with them to complete the task." ”
Ruan Xingzhu was also here in Huining City, and he had just come to look for Ding Kui.
Xiahou Falcon asked, "What task are they going to complete?"
"You don't have to ask about this, just follow along, in short, to fight the enemy. "Xue Fu was the only person present who knew Xiahou Falcon.
"Hehe, so to speak, the main thing is that I haven't thought about it yet, and I'll tell Xingzhu when I think about it. "Ding Kui didn't mean to sell Guanzi.
There is still a sixth-level master missing in the tent, and Ao Yu doesn't know where he went.
The staff officer sent a military report, the coalition army launched a fierce attack on Hengye County and Chaohu County adjacent to Duanshui County, Cao State, Meng State and his own country each had a legion to participate in the battle, and Cao State also dispatched six sixth-level combat power to help the army attack the strategic points occupied by the Qi army.
Under the command of Ding Kui, the Cao army of Duanshui County captured four cities in one day, among which the defenders of Tunsha City and Shengong City suffered heavy casualties, and even the chief of staff of the corps was captured alive.
The officers and soldiers on the front line admired Ding Kui very much, and they had not fought such a hearty victory in the three years since the invasion of the Qi State.
"We can't be fast next, the enemy has some precautions against our sixth-level masters, and the houses near the city walls in Huining City are empty, and it is estimated that the enemy will stop us at all costs. ”
Several division commanders and staff officers did not know where Ding Kui's news came from, but they were all convinced that in fact, Ding Kui had personally gone to the field to investigate, and the body water film had made another contribution.
Ding Kui continued: "Based on the information provided by Ge Du, the Qi army intends to inflict heavy casualties on our army in Huining City and Tianhe City, and then quickly retreat to the front line of Sanshui City. "The three water cities in his mouth are the water land city, the water mouth city, and the water valley city.
Everyone looked at him and waited for him to give the order.
"We have to slow down our attack and wait for the reserves to transport siege equipment, the 2nd Division will bypass Huining City to reconnoiter northward, and the rest of the garrison will be fortified to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks. "He was in no hurry to storm the city.
Ruan Xingzhu noticed that a few people were asking him with their eyes, so he asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted to occupy the whole county as soon as possible?
"The arrogant army will be defeated!" Ding Kui raised his voice, "The combat effectiveness of our army is almost the same as that of the enemy, and it is difficult to win quickly without five times the strength of the siege city. ”
"My lord!" Xiahou Falcon took a step forward, "The lowly position is the surprise of the enemy army, why don't you make an appointment to fight Bi Qiao? ”
"It's useless, they won't be fooled, they will definitely cooperate with the troops to fight, the enemy army in the city is more than 20,000 people, and a top two Brother Yu is not there, forcing the more will only startle the snake. "Ding Kui doesn't want to fight hard in Huining City.
Bi Qiaogan waited for a day, didn't wait for Ding Kui to make a move, and deliberately flew out in the middle to test whether there was a master in Cao's military camp, only to see Ding Kui beckoning to him in the camp, and didn't care about him at all.
General Shi stood next to Ding Kui and asked, "Which city is Ding Yu going to attack?"
"No, I asked him to go out for a walk, and get back to his best state as soon as possible to participate in the rest of the battle. Ding Kui denied that he had made special arrangements for Ao Yu.
General Shi looked incredulous, and said: "Scatter your heart on the battlefield, you can't fool me like this when you become a master, he must have a secret mission if he is not here." ”
"Since you know it's a secret mission, what are you asking? ”
This is exposed, Ding Kui does have a secret arrangement, and he hides it from everyone, it is inconvenient for Shi Jiang to ask again, the former hall master of Lu Guotang knows the secret, the less people know, the better.
Late at night, there was one more person in Ding Kui's tent, well, a humanoid dragon.
"How's it going?" Ding Kui hadn't slept yet.
"I didn't find the Monster!" Ao Yu sat down angrily.
"Oh, I didn't mean this, you can't blame me if you can't find a monster. Ding Kui knew that this guy was angry.
"It's pretty much the same as you guessed......," Ao Yu recounted what he had seen and heard on the way to find the demonic beast.
"This is clear, Bi Qiao's elite squad is not Zhu Ke's hole card, and there is indeed Wang Fang hidden. Ding Kui's thoughts were strikingly similar to Xiahou Zhuang's, thinking that it was impossible for Zhu Ke to send only 100,000 people to stay in Duanshui County, and specially sent Ao Yu, a super scout, to investigate.
The next day, Xu Dao personally led the troops attacking Tianhu City to arrive, as well as some siege equipment urgently transported from the rear.
The first wave of attack Cao sent six divisions and regiments, and the fourth army only had four.
"Why don't you besiege the city?" Xu Dao brought 30,000 horses, plus the original more than 30,000 people, the strength of the Cao army under Huining City reached more than 60,000, and it was completely possible to besiege the city on all sides.
"There are about 20,000 defenders in the city, and the Tianhe City side is about the same, counting the more than 20,000 that were wiped out by us the day before yesterday, is there still more than 30,000 Qi troops on the front line of Sanshui City? ”
"Won't the enemy defend Sanshui City? at most 10,000 men will be sent to attack us. Xu Dao questioned Ding Kui's calculations.
"No, no, no, the enemy army can not defend Sanshui City, as for why, I can't tell you now, you will know later, there is a great risk in besieging the city. Ding Kui changed his radical attitude when he left the headquarters and asked Cao Jun to fight steadily.
"Lord Ding, what are you waiting for?" Xu Dao couldn't understand, "The battle situation in Hengye County, Chaohu County and other places is very fierce, Zhu Ke commanded the main force of the Qi army to ambush his own army, and has already repelled all the attacks of the coalition army, in case the other two roads are not resisted, Duanshui County will be rescued immediately, and we may be forced to retreat." ”
"It's not that easy, I've informed the coach to strengthen the attack, from a feint to a real fight, Duanshui County, you can turn into a feint at any time. "Ding Kui has Ruan Xingzhu by his side, and the communication channel has been restored, and he doesn't have to go through the command headquarters in the county town.
"Why? Qi Jun's arrangement here is obviously insufficient, and we have the best chance of winning this way. "Xu Dao wants to ask.
"I feel like there's still an ambush for the enemy. Ding Kui didn't say what Ao Yu saw, and even if he did, no one might believe it, and he had to explain why Ao Yu could see it.
Others said that the feeling was ridiculous, but the Juggernaut Knight said that it was not easy to question the feeling, and Xu Dao was suspicious, and it was not a joke to really fall into the enemy's ambush.
"In this case, let's exhaust the enemy's sixth-level combat power first. ”
Ding Kui finally made a move, taking Ao Yu and Shi General out of the camp to challenge Bi Qiao and others, and Cao Jun took the opportunity to start attacking the south gate of Huining City.
The battle began in the afternoon and ended when the sun was setting in the west, and the intensity was far less than that of the battle in Shengong City.
Bi Qiao and the others were uneasy, and when Ding Kui and Cao Jun retreated, they turned to Tianhe City as soon as possible.
Sure enough, Ruan Xingzhu, Xue Fu and Xiahou Falcon teamed up to attack Tianhe City, and were bumped into by Bi Qiao and others who arrived, and just fought a temporary big fight in the dark night, and Ruan Xingzhu's team was repelled due to the disadvantage of numbers.
In the middle of the night, the vigilant Bi Qiao and others rushed back to Huining City, and the sound of killing outside the south gate was already shocking, and Ding Kui and the other three fell to the top of the city, and were recklessly chasing and killing the defenders.
Bi Qiao was furious and asked his fellow magicians to cast a forbidden spell to teach Cao Jun a profound lesson.
Seeing this, Ding Kui hurriedly pulled Ao Yu and Shi Jiang and rushed over to interrupt the magician's spell casting.
The two sides fought another fierce battle in the air, and the defenders took the opportunity to drive Cao's army off the city wall.
In the second half of the night, Ding Kui led his troops back to the barracks.
On this day and night, Bi Qiao and the other four people were tired enough, and they fought three battles with six sixth-level masters in Huining City and Tianhe City respectively.
If the defenders of the two cities were only 10,000, they would probably have been lost, and in the face of the sneak attack of the sixth-level masters, they would pay a great price to protect the city.
"There are a lot of Qi army magicians here, one legion beats your two legions. Ding Kui received a comprehensive battle report from the headquarters.
Xu Dao replied: "Because our legion is equipped with more archers, the number of magicians is slightly less, about seventy percent of the Qi army, and normally the two legions are forty percent more than them." ”
"In other words, Qi Jun's magicians are forty percent more. Ding Kui changed the marker in the sand table.
"It may also be transferred from the front line of Sanshui City. ”
"No, I have information, there are many magicians guarding the front line of Sanshui City, and most of them are water systems, so it is not suitable to be transferred here to fight. Ding Kui took Ao Yu's reconnaissance as intelligence.
"This is the enemy's ambush?" Xu Dao admired Ding Kui so much that he believed what Ding Kui said.
"This ambush is only enough for defense, Zhu may ambush his own army along the way, he can ambush us, he came up with special means not only to repel us, it is possible to plan to inflict heavy damage on us, and then occupy the entire Duanshui County. Ding Kui planted a few green flags in the Diyan Lake.
Xu Dao's pupils shrank sharply, and the green flag rarely appeared in the sand table, or in the army's sand table.
