Chapter 1557: Xuanyuan Su's reaction
Ding Kui thought to himself: I've not only seen it, but I have also learned.
"Yes, it was in Shapu City, Huashan County, Nannuma Prefecture, and I saw several magicians join forces to cast a wave of fire...... "He briefly recalls the experience.
"I see, the Flame Wave needs to be assisted in the preparation, and it cannot be cast by one person, and the Burning City of Flame requires too long to prepare for without absolute superiority. Xianfu's face turned a little ruddy.
He grabbed a magic crystal in his hand and absorbed a part of it while Ding Kui spoke.
"The rebels can't recruit soldiers, and less than a thousand people can escape from the burning city. "Min Chou controlled the elemental giants and killed a small number of people who escaped from the garrison fortress.
"The four western states were originally the source of secondary troops, and the fortress legion was a secondary legion, so the quality must be low. But then again, even if two elite legions come, they can't achieve such results in the same amount of time. Shao Diansui gave an objective evaluation.
Shaodian Bao and Ao Yu repelled the defenders' forbidden laws and magicians with the help of magicians, and Ding Kui and Shaodiansui who were present did not make a move.
"Now we have to think about how to hold it, the enemy's counterattack will definitely be very fierce. Ding Kui waved his hand and motioned for the troops below to clean up the battlefield.
During the time of preparing for the forbidden spell, there were probably more than 10,000 defenders who ran out of the garrison fortress, plus less than 20,000 who escaped from the rear and other places, they could retreat to the western fortress, at least to keep the entrance to Xihai Prefecture.
Ding Kui won another great victory in this surprise attack, and the Wangzhou Theater almost poured out, with covering troops, feint troops, harassing troops, troops transferring logistics bases, troops guarding strategic points, and even troops providing elite forces, so that the surprise attack plan was successful.
Kaiqu County is adjacent to Jiande County, and it takes five or six days for ordinary troops to march normally, Xuanyuan Su first asked for the forbidden law rescue, because he was worried that the Second Army and the Giant Shark Legion would not arrive in time, and hoped that the forbidden law would help the defenders last a few more days.
However, he didn't expect Ding Kui to concentrate so many high-end combat forces and elite troops, and he insisted on capturing the Tibetan Wushan Fortress before the forbidden law arrived.
In fact, as early as when Ding Kui became the captain, he always liked to concentrate high-end combat power and fight with elite troops, and this tactical idea has been maintained to this day and has never changed.
When the Tenth Army appeared in Huakai City, and Tan Shang and the 79th Division appeared in Fengluo City, Xuanyuan Su mistakenly thought that Ding Kui's main attack direction was not the Zangwushan Fortress, but probably the largest military port on the Xijiang River, and the Protector Army was haunted by that vicinity.
All kinds of factors misled Xuanyuan Su's judgment, and only today is there a successful surprise attack.
Ding Kui deduced the possibility of defeat, and the fortress of Zangwu Mountain had enough sixth-level combat power to sit in the town.
If Yao Shi and Fan Ying were not sent to seal Luocheng, but were sent to the Tibetan Fog Mountain Fortress, or if the two forbidden laws of the Navy to support the military port went to the Hidden Fog Mountain Fortress, it would have led to Ding Kui's failure.
The news of the fall of the East Fortress only reached Xuanyuan Su's ears after a day, and it was discovered by the forbidden law transferred by the Burning Heart Palace to rescue.
They were driven back by Ding Kui and others, and sent a summons after returning to the Burning Heart Palace.
Xuanyuan Su, who has always been steady, was moved again and said, "It's troublesome, Ding Kui does have something special." ”
"Order the Second Legion and the Giant Shark Legion to withdraw to their base camp immediately, no, order them to turn to Wing Harbor. ”
Yigang is the largest military port on the Xijiang River, and the overall shape is like a bird's wing, so it became famous.
Gong Yuchen, the new commander of the Sixth Army Corps, also happened to be at the headquarters and heard that something was not quite right, so he asked: "My lord, don't you recapture the fortress of the Tibetan Fog Mountain? Now the navy cannot completely control the Xijiang River, and logistics and materials cannot rely on waterways. ”
"The enemy's eighth, ninth, and tenth army corps are all in the direction of the Tibetan Fog Mountain, how can we recapture the eastern fortress? Our army's logistics are tight, and the enemy's army is not easy, once the northern route army recovers supplies, it can be defeated from the north, and the enemy dares to defend the eastern fortress to the death?"
Xuanyuan Su knew very well that the Second Legion and the Giant Shark Legion couldn't defeat Ding Kui, and rushing over would be to die, so it was better to pull it back and keep the water passage first.
The rebels on the southern route could cross the Xijiang River to seek support from the Zhongwangzhou theater, which had one more way out than the northern route army, although this road was a bit narrow.
The current battle situation is very unfavorable for the rebels, but Xuanyuan Su still has the strength to fight.
He still has the rebellious 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th legions and the Giant Shark Legion in his hands, and there are hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of sailors in the Wing Harbor.
Ding Kui waited for two days and did not see enemy reinforcements, so he took Ao Yu back to the Chinese army.
The Eighth and Tenth Army Corps built a military camp outside the city of Kaiqu County, and after the Fifth Army Corps brought baggage, they escorted a batch of supplies to the East Fortress, preparing to replace the elite troops to defend the fortress.
This was strongly requested by Dou Dou Meal, and the Tibetan Fog Mountain had been lost at their hands and became a disgrace to the Fifth Legion, and this time they vowed to live and die with the East Fortress and regain the glory that belonged to the Fifth Legion.
Ding Kui's concentration of the eighth, ninth, and tenth legions was to eat the enemy's reinforcements, and the fifth legion's defense of the fortress did not affect his layout, which was a matter of pushing the boat along the river.
When he returned to the headquarters, he asked, "What about the enemy's reinforcements?"
Liu Yu replied: "The road leading to the eastern fortress is full of scouts of our army, and no trace of the enemy has been found so far. Commander Shaodiantai left the camp with his troops in the morning, saying that he was going to look for the enemy on the edge of the Xijiang River. ”
Jiang Zhi said: "I'm afraid there will be no enemy troops to rescue the East Fortress, according to the reaction of the 79th Division, the enemy army near Fengluo City suddenly disappeared two days ago, indicating that the enemy army has a large-scale movement, but not a single soldier has been found until today, indicating that the movement of the enemy army is not in our direction." ”
"Wait another day, and if you don't come yet, you'll go to their base camp. Ding Kui had a feeling of not being able to exert himself.
The enemy's reaction did not go as he had expected, and the planned large-scale field encounter could not be fought.
If they encounter in the field, all the rebels on the southern route will not be able to defeat the three elite legions in his hands, even if the three major legions are not yet formed.
"Xuanyuan Su should have sensed that something was wrong, the Tenth Army did not attack Xihaizhou, so it must be here, and sending reinforcements to the East Fortress is to send them to death.
Before, we were too optimistic, thinking that we could control the Xijiang River, but now that the enemy's naval army has been reinforced, the Xijiang River is no longer our final say. ”
Liu Yu rearranged the sand table and mobilized the rebels according to his own ideas.
"You see, the rebels can retreat in Jiande County and invest more troops to seize control of the river, and there will not be a crisis of shortage of supplies in the short term. ”
"Well, Xuanyuan Su can be dragged until Yukui goes south. Jiang Zhi agreed with Liu Yu.
Ding Kui raised his eyebrows and said, "Immediately sent an order, the Protector Army withdrew from Jiande County and went to the base camp of the Zhenwangzhou Theater to rest. ”
Kong Ren reminded beside him: "The Protector Army is suitable for attacking fortifications, so it's a little far away to be transferred to Xiping County." ”
The Protector has the latest weapons and equipment, and has a powerful long-range attack power, whether it is attacking a city or attacking a military camp.
"The first army to attack and plan, the second to attack the enemy, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city, it is not advisable to attack the fortification when the enemy is fully prepared. ”
After reading Liu Yu's deduction, Ding Kui actually dispelled the idea of attacking the rebel base camp.
As soon as these words came out, the people in the command were savoring the meaning, and they were quiet for a while.
This is the realm of the supreme commander, and his subordinates are submissive. Jiang Zhi was a little excited and seemed to be very inspired.
"How can we reach such a state without thousands of years of accumulation. Liu Yu mistook Sun Tzu's Art of War for the inheritance of the Ding family.
Kong Ren suddenly felt inferior, he didn't understand what kind of realm it was, and he didn't even dare to shoot his ass.
"The wisdom of our predecessors, it's good if we can learn a little fur, what realm is there. Ding Kui didn't dare to pretend to be the author, "This battle started with the Yangfeng Rebellion, at least the rebels must be expelled from Zhuwangzhou, is there a way to make the enemy's command wrong?"
"The subordinates are stupid and don't dare to talk about the plan, but they have some ideas about the war or the soldiers. ”
Liu Yu leaned into Ding Kui's ear and whispered a few words, and the people next to him walked away a few steps in order to avoid suspicion.
"Well, I'll have to discuss this with Madame first. The wife that Ding Kui is talking about openly can only be Shaodianluan, "Why don't you capture Tong'an County first, and hurry up to transport a batch of baggage to the East Fortress." ”
"Tong'an County, let the subordinates go down. "Jiang Zhi asked for battle.
"Well, the main forces of the Ninth and Tenth Army Corps returned to the Chinese Army, the Eighth Army Corps moved east to Tong'an County, led the First Army Corps to capture the whole county, and the Twenty-second Army Corps inspected the road between Xiping County and Liyang County. ”
Ding Kui readjusted the deployment of troops in Wangzhou.
That night, Shaodian Luan received a secret message.
"You translate in the third set of ciphertongues. She handed over the summons to Fei Ze.
Fei Ze took the summons and translated it in his heart, and after reading it, he said: "It's obviously Liu Changshi's idea, it's too direct." ”
"What is Mr. Fei's opinion?" Shaodian Luan wanted to listen to Fei Ze's opinion.
"The purpose of the heart attack is to divide and mislead, mainly to take advantage of the suspicion of the enemy's key figures, and the biggest benefit for us is to make Shao Dian Yong doubt everyone, not just Yang Feng or Yang Kui. ”
Fei Ze is no stranger to this method, and he can even be said to be good at it, and he can be a teacher for Liu Yu.
"It's not interesting to simply fight with words, it's best to let the Espionage Department and the Propaganda Department cooperate, and use a two-pronged approach to confuse the enemy, so as to make the plan more perfect......"
He gave Shao Dianluan a few simple examples.
"Well, the main thing is to cooperate with the battle situation in Wangzhou, and we must hurry up the time, otherwise we will delay the fighter. This matter is left to you, and I will ask the king to issue a decree on what department and people are needed to cooperate. ”
"Yes!" the subordinates immediately prepared. ”
......
The main force of the 1st Army rushed to capture Tong'an County before the arrival of the 8th Army Corps.
Chen Yu arranged for the accompanying 79th Division to be stationed in the county town and let his troops camp outside the city.
When Jiang Zhi heard the news, he ordered his troops to turn to the south of Tong'an County and attack the cities in the south of the county with divisions and regiments.
The rebels on the southern route were very quiet, and did not send troops to assist in the defense of Tong'an County, but only divided their troops to garrison Yigang and the base camp.
The rebel army organized a counteroffensive, but because the Protector Army withdrew, Huasong did not have an army to help on the shore, so it chose to avoid its edge and retreated more than 100 kilometers to the east.
Ding Kui finally determined Xuanyuan Su's intentions and held on to Jiande County to wait for friendly support.
