"The strength of the Tenth Legion still exists, and the relationship between the Gongsun family and me is getting more and more stiff, and the public oath is an excuse for the Gongsun family to intervene, and Shao Dianxi will not surrender. Ding Kui disagreed.

Zhenjing City will not accept the state pastor to flee the state city, and Shaodian will only give Shaodian Xi two ways, either kill Ding Kui or be killed by Ding Kui.

Defecting to Shaodianluan, supporting Shaodian's title as king, and recognizing the eldest princess's status as a prisoner is also an option, but Shaodianxi has missed the best opportunity.

As early as when Shaodian took refuge in the rebel king, a precedent had been set, and the county king at the state pastoral level could get more rights and interests from the imperial court, and later Shaodian Luan established himself as a prisoner of the country, and even before Ding Kui incorporated the 20th Army, Shaodianxi had the opportunity to make a profit.

Now surrendering Shao Dianxi can only keep the titular state pastor, and Ding Kui will not let his orders pass out of Nanjing City. Before he could exchange his power for his life, he would inevitably make a request that Ding Kui was unwilling to accept.

Outside Baiyun City, the banner of the Eighth Army Corps was waving in the wind, and the strong camp was built ten miles away from the city.

The two generals were pointing, and one of the younger ones smiled: "It feels strange to use their flag, and I feel that I am particularly powerful." ”

"Hehe, I beg you, junior brother, let you officially own their banner, it will feel more powerful. ”

"Hahaha, Lord Zhang, don't laugh at me, although the Eighth Legion is good, our Twenty-first Legion is not bad, and the junior brother is not from your hands, and now the Eighth Legion has to listen to him. ”

These two people were not the generals of the Eighth Legion, they turned out to be Feng Liang and Zhang Jie.

"The defenders here have a decent appearance, there are not many places where Luo is exposed under the bow and arrows, and they have a lot of experience in dealing with long-range troops, no worse than the local army in Zhongwangzhou, if they really want to fight, they are a little reluctant with our two divisions. Zhang Jie pointed at the wall with a horsewhip.

"There are many veterans of the Southern First Army who have been on the battlefield, they have suffered losses from strong crossbows, and they have been beaten out of experience, and the new batch of strong crossbows we have added cannot be used for the time being, anyway, they are here to pretend, and it is not bad to practice with them. ”

Feng Liang and Zhang Jie led their troops to replace the 72nd and 73rd Divisions, and the task was to hold back the main force of Gongsun Mi, wait for an opportunity to take down the entire Duping County, and maintain the threat to Weiguo County.

Hua Mo and Wang Chou had already led their troops to Anyang County, preparing to attack the city of Nanjing.

Ding Kui invested the entire Eighth Army and most of the 12th Army Corps in Anyang County, and the soldiers and horses of the 20th and 21st Army Corps were gradually taking over the defense areas of the first two corps, and at the same time were responsible for protecting the grain routes in the Anyang County War Zone.

Compared with the temporarily calm Duping County, the battle in Yanling County has been going on, Shao Diantai has been organizing counterattacks non-stop, and Kong Ren has commanded the troops to turn into a defensive state.

Several units were replaced in the Yanling County Theater, with the 196th, 197th, and 198th Divisions stationed in the county area and the western region, while the 1st Division of the Protector Army remained in the eastern region.

Although the Protector Army has been integrated into the regular army, it is unique in its structure and weaponry, so it is rarely mixed with other legions in military missions.

Lei Feixiang's division headquarters was set up in Donglai City, and today ushered in a new colleague, Shao Diancheng, acting chief of staff of the first division.

"Old captain, welcome, welcome!" Lei Feixiang once served under Shao Diancheng, and he liked to call the old captain when he met.

At the royal outpost that year, he alone set up three captains, and later he was complained about a lot.

This time, Shao Diancheng did not come alone, but also brought a class of cadets.

"Commander Lei, Master Lei, now that you are the commander of your subordinates, shouting 'old captain' again is to bury your subordinates, and your subordinates didn't offend you back then. "Shaodian is full of spring breeze.

I can finally go to the battlefield, although it is not a role to go into battle to kill the enemy, but it can also make up for what I have always wanted.

"Come, my subordinates will introduce you, they are the staff officer promotion class, and they are here to learn from you this time. ”

The so-called staff officer promotion class is a class in which the cadets who have completed the basic course take the initiative to select and develop into advanced staff officers. This is the beginning of the subdivision of majors in military schools, an attempt to make more effective use of faculty and resources.

"You are the teacher, how can you learn from me? Don't be polite when you come to me, you are here to give advice, not to be my subordinate, and you have ideas to boldly mention!" Lei Feixiang first encouraged the new students.

"Report! A cavalry unit has entered the western area of Donglai City, numbering about two thousand people. ”

Shao Diancheng walked quickly to the sand table, picked out the enemy flag of the two-pole cavalry brigade, and planted it in the western forest area of Donglai City.

"Xianggou City and Donglai City are not suitable for cavalry battles, where are they going?" he had done his homework before coming.

"There are 20,000 men in the Southern Second Army attacking Xianggou City, we can go and attack their barracks at any time, and 2,000 cavalry are here to monitor us. ”

Lei Feixiang explained the latest battle situation to his new colleagues by the way.

"It's not that simple, there are only ten legions that have used a thousand cavalry troops alone, and in their eyes we are just a dish, do you need to use two thousand people to monitor us?"

"Are you saying that there are troops behind them, and the target will be here?" Lei Feixiang was a little nostalgic for the special operations regiment at this time, if it wasn't for Ding Kui's order, he would definitely not agree to transfer away the main elite of the reinforced first division.

Without a special operations regiment, it cannot be called a reinforced division, and the three infantry regiments plus the cavalry brigade directly under it are only the establishment of one division, and of course the auxiliaries are not counted here.

The auxiliaries of the Protector Army are professional auxiliaries who need to master many specific military skills, unlike the auxiliaries used by ordinary legions, which only require strong people and have no military skill requirements.

Each infantry regiment has at least 500 professional auxiliaries, which can be temporarily incorporated into the battle sequence at a critical juncture, and have a certain combat effectiveness.

"If I were Shao Diantai, I would definitely try your catties and send one or two thousand people to raid it, and I would become a city that could be taken back, and if I didn't succeed, I would be able to support the enemy army besieging Xianggou City, and I wouldn't be afraid that you would eat his cavalry troops. "Shao Diancheng entered the role as soon as he came.

"Look down on me so much, I have a cavalry brigade. Lei Feixiang scratched the back of his head.

"That's right, how can a professional cavalry corps take your cavalry seriously. ”

"You seem to have a way, how are we going to fight? There are two infantry regiments and a cavalry brigade directly under the city. ”

There are 7,000 soldiers and 3,000 auxiliaries in Donglai City, because Xianggou City has a moat, so the infantry regiment over there does not need iron pulleys, and the iron lugs of the first division are concentrated in Donglai City.

"Well, there is a way, but I'm afraid you don't have the courage to adopt it. Shao Diancheng smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Yo, how long has it been? ”

Shaodian confidently said his plan.

Lei Feixiang opened his mouth slightly and said, "If you change someone, I really don't dare to use your method, but I believe in you!"

"You! After getting to know Miss Biya, you became more and more sensational. Shao Diancheng's eyes were filled with tears.

"Don't worry, my brother will help you introduce a few good girls in the future. ”

"! ”

"Is this good for the leader? I need to sign the declaration of military merit. ”

“......”

It was the 95th Division that ran to the woods to the west, and a small group of the 93rd Division came near evening.

"What's the situation?" turned out to be Chen Panqiu in person.

The leader of the team in the woods was General Qin Lili, "It's been a long time, and I drove away some scouts, and I didn't find any trace of the magician." He took Chen Panqiu to the edge of the woods to watch.

"There is still smoke rising from the town in front, there should be no soldiers and horses in ambush, most of them have retreated into the city, and the success rate of the raid is too low. "He and Chen Panqiu did receive the order to raid Donglai City.

"If you storm Donglai City, it will definitely attract the 197th Division, and in the end, you will not be able to hold each other, and you will have trouble getting out at that time. Chen Panqiu is also not very optimistic about this operation.

"The main thing is that the warships of our own country are too annoying, and the enemy army of a few thousand people has defended Xianggou City, and the 20,000 local troops cannot advance or retreat, which drags us down. Qin Lili felt very aggrieved.

There is only one infantry regiment in Xianggou City to defend it, but the moat outside is defended by its own warships, and it is difficult for the siege troops to get close to the city wall.

The most hateful thing is that those warships often appear at critical moments, wait for the catapults to load the stone bombs and then drive away, and the tactics are very flexible and tricky.

The troops of the Second Southern Army Corps fought for a few days without making any progress, so Shaodiantai sent Chen Panqiu and Qin Lili to help.

Sending 20,000 more people is not just as simple as attacking a city, the opponent will not sit still, and will definitely send troops to contain it, Chen Panqiu and Qin Lili are also in a dilemma.

"I heard that Ding Kui has reached an agreement with his own country, and each city along the river can allow 10,000 of his own troops to go ashore, and our opponents can be more than 10,000 people, at least equivalent to 20,000 or 30,000 troops. Chen Panqiu usually doesn't talk much, but he can still express himself at critical moments.

On the surface, they have an absolute superiority in troops, but in fact they do not count their own naval forces. Recently, his country and the small court are in the honeymoon period, and the relationship is very good, and the navy of his country fully cooperates with the battle plan of the small court, otherwise Ding Kui will not rush to launch an attack during the Chinese New Year.

"It's not a big deal, I have to try tonight, you go back to the camp to defend it, don't let the enemy cut off my back road, if it doesn't work, I'll go back to the camp and find another way." "Qin Lili did not despise the enemy, and considered leaving a way back.

From the south of Donglai City to the county seat, the area is mountainous, and I don't know when a unit will come out of the mountains, and the combined barracks of the 93rd and 95th divisions are stuck on the main road to prevent people from taking back roads.

Chen Panqiu had no better way and decided to let Qin Lili give it a try.

In the middle of the night, the lights were extinguished in the villages and towns on the outskirts of Donglai City, and Qin Lili, who had gathered all his subordinates, suddenly ordered an attack, and 10,000 cavalry rushed out of the woods and went straight to Donglai City.

Donglai City is brightly lit, the city is brightly lit, and all the city gates are open, but not a single figure can be seen.

Qin Lili stopped the troops, looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, a little at a loss, and the staff officer stepped forward and asked, "My lord, do you want to go into the city to have a look?"
