This is also to blame the troops of the small imperial court are too strong, the 10th Army Corps has suffered defeats under the 20th Army Corps and the Protector Army, and the main force attacking Anyang County is the 8th Army Corps, it is impossible to show weakness to lure the enemy deeper.

All the cities in Anyang County will send a message to Nanjing City as soon as they see the soldiers and horses of the small imperial court, and even those who came later did not hide from Wei Si's ears and eyes.

"They really are targeting the city of Nanjing. "Shaodiantai roughly knows which enemies are in Anyang County.

"If they can't be allowed to capture the state city, the state shepherd will either be captured or killed in battle, and no one in Nanmarsh Prefecture will be able to organize resistance, and we can only retreat to Zhenwang Prefecture. Yi Feng guessed Ding Kui's intentions.

"Set off overnight and rush to Anyang County!" Shaodiantai no longer hesitated.

At this time, there were no enemy troops around Nanjing City, and the Tenth Army Corps had enough time to rush to the rescue. Sure enough, when the main force of the Tenth Army entered Anyang County, Nanjing City still did not move.

"We can't move forward anymore," Yi Feng felt that something was wrong, "The Eighth Army could have surrounded Nanjing City a long time ago, but now it is not moving, there is only one possibility, that is, it wants to lure us into Nanjing City, and then surround us as well." ”

"What a big appetite!Can they eat it?" said Shaodian.

Yi Feng hurriedly said: "Think about it carefully, what kind of situation will it be outside the city of Nanjing? Surely we will not be able to give full play to the combat strength of our army, on the city wall, on the streets, our army can beat the Eighth Army?"

These words woke up the conceited Shao Diantai and asked, "Then what should our army do?"

"Wandering outside, waiting for an opportunity to steal the grain. ”

Cavalry is best suited for sports warfare, especially long-distance attacks, and Yi Feng's strategy can bring out the greatest combat power of the Ten Legions.

The Tenth Legion was gone, and Ding Kui had not received any information about them for two days.

"The 71st, 74th, and 75th divisions are responsible for tracking the 10th Army Corps, the 200th Division is holding Bai'an City, the 199th Division is holding Yuluo City, the 92nd Division is holding Anyang County, and the rest of the troops are surrounding Nanjing City!" he didn't wait.

The failure of the plan to lure the enemy was expected by him, such a simple plan was easy to see, after all, they were elite legions, not local turtle troops.

The troops who had been waiting for a long time moved immediately, and the first to arrive was the 111th Division, which was also the one who had waited the longest.

Han Rujian led his troops to the eastern suburbs of Nanjing City to camp, and Ding Kui originally asked them to build a commander's camp in the southern suburbs, but Han Rujian refused.

"The manager's battalion looks majestic, but then we will become the commander's own soldiers, and we will not get a chance to go into battle at all, and some will be the last in line. Han Rujian explained to his subordinates.

"Then why build such a large military camp? Isn't the Eighth Army unwilling to mix with us?" Long Shuang was tired all day.

He was in charge of all the watchtowers, and he had resisted more than a hundred thick wooden stakes with his hands together, and he had only completed less than a third of the volume.

"Hmph! I will turn around to inquire about the military situation, the 112th and 113th divisions are coming, and the horse shed is reserved for the 71st division. ”

"How long will it take to fight with so many troops?" Long Shuang calculated in his heart, there were 100,000 troops besieging the city alone.

"Don't you see those fortifications? it will take at least three days to clear them, not counting the interference of the enemy forces on the periphery. "It's the first time I've seen such a dense fortification.

Although Long Shuang had been to the capital, there was no war at that time, and there were only permanent fortifications outside the capital city, which was not as exaggerated as in front of him.

The next day, a group of people came, and the speed of building the barracks was much faster, and the main structure was built before dark.

The troops besieging the city also arrived one after another, with the 79th and 80th divisions in the northern suburbs, the 77th and 78th divisions in the western suburbs, and the 73rd and 76th divisions in the southern suburbs.

At this point, the city of Nanjing was besieged, and there was no other way to enter and exit except the sky and the portal.

"Phew!" Shaodian strangled the war horse without injury, "Stop chasing!"

He looked at the soldiers scattered in the distance, although they did not have flags, but the clothes and armor on their bodies were more familiar.

"Go back!"

One of his subordinates asked, "My lord, don't you chase them?" At most, one cup of tea can kill them all." ”

Shaodian's unharmed gaze passed through the deserter, landed on the town in front of him, and said: "Our task is to force the enemy back, we can't be greedy for killing, and if we are ambushed, the gains outweigh the losses." Let's go, carry out the order!"

The cavalry brigade suddenly turned around and left.

Snap, Ding Cai kicked Fei Fei under the wooden bench, "Cowardice!" a group of cowards, why don't you chase them?" he watched as the enemy slipped away from the edge of the ambush circle.

The 74th Division was responsible for tracing the traces of the 10th Army Corps, and it was not necessary to engage in battle to find and determine the defense of the 10th Army Corps, so Fan Yuzhen dispersed the troops and distributed them to the southwest border of Anyang County.

The Ding Finance Department of the Eighth Brigade ran relatively fast, and when they came to the vicinity of the junction of Anyang, Dingxiang and Shibu counties, they actually found the figure of the cavalry, that is, the first brigade of the 91st Division, the uninjured troops of Shaodian.

When the infantry brigade met the cavalry brigade, Ding Cai knew that the odds of winning the battle were not good, so he repeated the trick and planned to send troops to lead the enemy to a small town by deception, and he led the main force to ambush in the town, using traps to defeat Shaodian without injury.

However, the tactics that had always been invincible failed, and the cavalry unit, known as the proudest, did not chase after it and turned back under Ding Cai's eyes.

He did not hide this situation from Fan Yuzhen, and Fan Yuzhen quickly reported it after learning about it and reacted directly to the commander of the war zone.

"Cavalry found near Shibu County?" Ding Kui's heart twitched, "Sure enough, I want to sneak attack our army's grain road." ”

He and Jiang Zhi had rushed to the Nandaying outside Nanjing, where Jiang Zhi was arranging the sand table.

This sand table is not only near Nanjing City, but also includes the entire central area of Nannuma Prefecture, such as Anhua County, Duping County, Shibu County, Zhushan County, and Dingxiang County.

"That place can go south to Zhushan County, west to Shibu County, and north to Anyang County, there are many tactics to choose from, and I will go there too. Jiang Zhiting admired the choice of the Tenth Legion.

"Tomorrow the 112th and 113th divisions will transport a batch of baggage to the main camp, which can be consumed by the besieging troops for half a month, and the next batch of baggage will be shipped in ten days at the earliest. He gave a glimpse of the state of logistics.

"Half a month, that's enough, start the siege tomorrow!" Ding Kui turned his heart sideways.

The Tenth Army Corps has a huge threat to the grain route, and the key is that they can also harass the siege troops, not to mention the 100,000 cavalry, only 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry rushed into a military camp, and none of them around Nanjing City could defend it.

"It's a bit risky, isn't it?" Jiang Zhi tried to persuade the coach.

"In the next two days, all the magicians will be transferred to the 71st Division, and General Dong will go to Dingxiang County for a walk, and also leave some hope for Shao Dianxi. "Ding Kui is determined to beat the time difference.

The 10th Army Corps could receive a summons from the Southern Demon Division and could keep abreast of the situation outside Nanjing, but they did not know the whereabouts of the 71st, 74th, and 75th divisions, and if they wanted to harass the besieging troops, they had to fight with those three divisions.

Don't look at the strength of the 71st, 74th and 75th Divisions, which are only one-third of the strength of the 10th Army Corps, they are the troops that use the most crossbows in the Eighth Army, especially the 71st Division, which has two mounted crossbows in its hands, and can be said to be the first regular army to use crossbows.

The crossbow plays the greatest role in the cavalry battle, the two teams of cavalry hedge, who attacks first has the advantage, the 71st division can attack first from 500 paces, the crossbow arrows can hurt people and horses, do not seek large-scale killing, only seek to destroy as much cavalry as possible.

The smallest cavalry formation consisted of ten people, and it was impossible to lack one, let alone a cavalry unit that was also a blade knight. The two armies are hedged, on one side is a complete cavalry formation, and on the other side is incomplete, it must be a complete and more wave of fighting attacks.

Any division of the 10th Army Corps could not defeat the 71st Division alone, and at least two or one, or even three against one under certain conditions, so they had to leave half of their strength against the 71st, 74th, and 75th Divisions.

The offensive and defensive battle of Nanjing City finally began, and Shao Dianxi personally climbed the South City Tower and watched Wang Chou's troops clear the fortifications.

"My lord, my subordinates have asked to go out of the city to negotiate and delay the enemy's attack as much as possible. Lou Xiao always wanted to go on an envoy but did not get the consent of the other party, and he still stays in Nanjing City to this day.

"No, Lord Lou, the roads outside the city are difficult to navigate, and there are many traps, so it's too dangerous to go out of the city at this time. Wei Shiwen objected.

The defense of Nanjing City was arranged by Wei Shiwen, and the 100,000 local troops in the city were also commanded by him, and the Commander's Office did not send more senior generals to help Shao Dianxi.

Shao Dianxi did not respond, silently looking at the enemy troops in the distance.

"You send someone to lead the way, I can take two guards out of the city, it's still too late to talk, and if it drags on, there will be no talk. "Lou Xiao is not afraid of danger, and he will never back down when he should stand up.

Three or four people could pass through the fortified area, and the exposed safety zone was not enough for the enemy to use, and Lou Xiao really let it go.

"My lord, it's not that the subordinates say frustrating words, in case, the subordinates say just in case, Ding Thief doesn't care about the life and death of his subordinates, but your life and death are in his thoughts. He was in a hurry, so he simply made his words clear to Shao Dianxi.

In case Ding Kui invades Nanjing City, he can not kill Lou Xiao, he can not kill Wei Shiwen, but he will definitely kill Shao Dianxi. If Shao Dianxi is not killed, other state pastors will follow suit and resist until the end before giving in, which will cause great trouble for Ding Kui to plot against other states in the future.

"Don't say it!" Shao Dianxi's face flushed, "We have to believe in Gongsun Mi and Shao Diantai! they won't let the worst happen, Ding Thief will definitely be defeated!"

Wei Shiwen suddenly shouted loudly to the below: "My lord is right! The traitors will retreat! Our army will win!" He wanted to boost the morale of the defenders, and he could just borrow the words of the state pastor.

"The traitors will retreat! Our army will win!" the defenders shouted loudly, cheering themselves up.

On the handsome platform outside the city, Wang Chou was not to be outdone, and shouted: "The king will win!

"The king will win! The prison country will win!" A thunderous shout rang out from the military formation.

The attacking and defending sides have not yet fought each other, so they will fight with shouts first. The regular army was obviously more experienced in this regard, and the voices of the defenders of Nancheng could not withstand it first, and their voices were suppressed by the attackers.

Ding Kui smiled and said: "Congratulations to General Wang, your department has taken the lead and made a meritorious service first!"
