Chapter 1439: Siege of Nanjing City (7)
The Xiang family killed Shaodianluan's biological father, who dared to promote Xiang Ji in front of the prison state?
Ding Kui was quite embarrassed, his wife's feelings could not be ignored, and excellent officers could not be buried.
"That's it, I lack a personal commander by my side, Ding Yu is my eldest brother, not my subordinate, you go and ask Xiang Ji, if you want to follow me. ”
Qiao Meng's eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, this is a good way, give him a choice, as long as he grasps the opportunity, he is the next Brother Kun." ”
Ding Kun was accepted by Ding Dao as a personal soldier in the death squad, and Xiang Ji can also achieve a good story if he is willing.
Becoming Ding Kui's personal soldier means giving up the original family, and after Ding Kui gives his name, he is a member of the Ding family, and the Xiang family will be in the past tense and no one will mention it again, but Xiang Ji's career in the army has also come to an end.
The commander's personal commander is not of high rank, but his authority is very heavy, no one will underestimate him when Ding Kun enters and leaves the commander's mansion, let alone the corps commanders and division commanders below, he is the one who has slapped the corps commander's ass.
If Xiang Ji sticks to the bottom line of the family, he will definitely not want to be Ding Kui's personal soldier, and the sins that should be atonement for the Xiang family still have to be atoned for, Ding Kui will not make his wife unhappy for a Xiang family, but if he pays more attention to his own development and is willing to change his court, Ding Kui will give him a chance.
When Li Fei heard about this, she asked Ding Kui: "If Xiang Ji is willing to give up the Xiang family, it is possible to give up the Ding family in the future, why do you want to give this kind of person a chance?"
Ding Kui explained: "It's not wrong to be selfish, it's acceptable to be selfish and not affect others. The Xiang family will not change because of Xiang Ji's existence, his parents and family are gone, and giving up the Xiang family at this time has not affected anyone.
Maybe he will give up the Ding family in the future, if it is harmless to the Ding family, I can accept it, now that I represent the imperial court, I need to be tolerant, and I should give Xiang Ji a chance to let them contribute to the imperial court. ”
Qiao Meng conveyed Ding Kui's meaning to Xiang Ji, and Xiang Ji was silent for a long time before he said: "It is the honor of the Commander to promote the humble position, but the humble position has served under your command for many years, and he has not done an inch, so what is the face of the humble position to transfer to the Commander." ”
"You have the merit of taking the lead in this battle, and you have earned enough honor for the division. There are people in the division who serve by the young master's side, and there is light on my face. Qiao Meng didn't mind his men being poached by Ding Kui.
With Ding Kui in the Eighth Army Corps, it is a whole, and whoever is in which division is the same.
In addition to the northern battlefield, people from other battlefields also began to rush to the city wall, and they were also driven down by the defenders, among which the southern city wall adopted the same method of fighting.
Under the indiscriminate attack, it may be that only those with sixth-level combat power can retreat with their whole body, and those with lower combat power have no hope of survival.
There is no way, in Shao Dianxi's eyes, the south is the main direction of attack of the enemy, and the enemy must not be allowed to open a gap from the south city, and he ordered the commander of the south city to defend it desperately.
Wang Chou lost a death squad, replaced all the trebuchets with fire cans in a fit of rage, and increased the frequency of ballista fire, and the southern city wall was submerged in fire for the entire second half of the night.
Ding Kui said distressedly: "If it rains, all my fire oil will be wasted." ”
God still gives face, it was gloomy all night, and it didn't rain.
"The combat effectiveness of the defenders is obviously inferior to our army, and if we continue to press, it will be a matter of time before Nanjing City changes hands, unless," Jiang Zhi looked outside the tent, "someone is coming to stir up the situation." ”
"The tactics of both sides are almost transparent, and the battle on the periphery will inevitably start, depending on when, where, and in which way it will be fought. I've come out, and it's up to the enemy to pick it up. Ding Kui was also waiting, waiting for the reaction of the Tenth Legion.
The reinforcements led by Gan Yun were very close to the city of Nanjing, and according to the prediction of the Security Bureau, they could appear at the rear of the besieging camp at any time, as well as the 10th Army Corps, which suddenly disappeared, as if they were staring at the siege troops in the dark.
On the fourth day of the siege, the sky was full of dark clouds, and it was a cloudy day, and it was likely to rain.
Rainy days are not good for cavalry operations, and it is not good for siege, but just when everyone thought that there would be a brief calm in Nanjing City, the Tenth Army appeared, and Shao Dianxi's reinforcements came.
As Ding Kui expected, the enemy's reinforcements came from the northeast, the navy and the local army opened the way in front, the cavalry pressed the formation on the two flanks and the center and rear, and the army of more than 100,000 put on a formation that could not be seen at a glance.
"Why don't you raid a battalion?" Gan Yun asked Shao Diantai, the commander of the cavalry corps was not in his own troops, but with him.
"It's the same, so many soldiers and horses are moving together, ten miles away will definitely be discovered, a small force raid is useless, today is a head-on battle with the traitors. "Shao Diantai has the experience of commanding more than 100,000 people in battle, which is incomparable to Gan Yun.
Both the Beida Battalion and the Eastern Battalion stopped attacking the city, and Qiao Meng and Han Rujian transferred their troops to the rear camp and put on a posture of defending the camp.
Wolf smoke rose from the southern camp, and wolf smoke rose from the south one after another, rolling all the way to the southeast.
Ding Kui and Jiang Zhi rushed to the East Camp together, with 5,000 elite soldiers from the South Battalion by their side, and the West Battalion also sent 5,000 elite soldiers to support the North Battalion.
"Good fellow! Ding Kui stood on the corner tower connecting the northeast camp.
The enemy's reinforcements approached five miles away, and the overwhelming number of soldiers and horses poured out of the smoke and dust, giving people an invisible pressure that pressed you until you couldn't breathe.
"Beat the drum!" Ding Kui immediately ordered.
Knock knock, knock knock, the East Camp and the North Camp beat the war drums.
"One-two, kill! one-two, kill!" the officer leading the team shouted for team exercise.
The soldiers who gathered in the East Battalion and the North Battalion, inspired by the sound of war drums and shouts, had an infinite fighting spirit in their chests.
Ding Kui asked, "Where are they now, General Dong?"
Jiang Zhi replied: "You can arrive within an hour." ”
The infantry marched up to sixty miles in an hour, and the cavalry came even faster, arriving in less than half an hour.
"Ordered Qiao Meng and Han as a blade to stick to the camp and not to fight. ”
There were sappers who urgently built a platform behind the corner tower, and Qiao Meng and Han Rujian sent the most elite troops to defend under the corner tower.
"Look!" Gan Yun pointed to Shao Diantai, "that's Ding Kui's handsome banner." ”
"Hmph, the reaction is pretty fast. The order was given, and the whole army moved westward. ”
Shao Diantai did not intend to attack the junction of the two large battalions.
"Ouch, you want to attack me from the front. "Jomon really saw it. He set up a platform in the rear camp and could see the enemy slowly moving to the front of the North Battalion.
"That's right, attacking the North Battalion and threatening the East and West Camps is completely in line with my prediction. Build a little higher, and I won't move. Ding Kui simply stepped on the Douqi Dragon and flew into the sky.
It is good for the boss to be able to fly, he can see the entire battlefield clearly, and there are enough magicians anyway to convey orders for him.
"Oh thick!" the reinforcements from the north erupted in a sky-shattering shout, and it turned out that Shao Dian Tai also flew into the air with his feet on the Douqi Dragon.
Hmph, Tan Shang flew to Ding Kui's side and said, "Shaodiantai wants to do it? I endured it for a long time, and I can finally move my muscles and bones." ”
"He's only alone, he can't do anything, can he win against the two of us?" Ding Kui pointed to the north, "There are a lot of cavalry on the front, and the cavalry on both wings is not enough to assault the east and west camps, it seems that I am afraid that I have ambush soldiers." ”
"Don't you have one?" Tan Shang asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, not much, 10,000 cavalry can solve it. Ding Kui explained truthfully.
"No surprise soldier is not a flying general, your style of play has been thoroughly eaten. "Tan Shang guessed.
"It's one thing to know, it's another to be able to deal with it. Ding Kui shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't care.
The local army moved, and there were improvised fortifications behind the Beida Battalion, and they were responsible for clearing and opening the way for the main attacking force.
"The whole army of the East Battalion was transferred to the North Battalion. Ding Kui did not hesitate to order.
This order seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is very stable, first of all, the city of Nanjing will not send troops to rush out, even if it comes out cold like a blade has enough time to return to defense; secondly, there is a deep ditch behind the eastern camp, and the cavalry can't jump when they run over, and the infantry can come over and have time to return to defense.
Chomon did not give the order to attack the local army that cleared the fortifications, and the northern camp was eerily quiet.
Gan Yun looked up at Shao Diantai, but Shao Diantai did not react. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "The navy belongs, go up!" and the navy carried the shield on his shoulder.
Their shields were made of ship planks and were particularly wide enough to completely cover a person.
"Archers, rockets ready. "Jomon still didn't use his most powerful long-range weapon.
Although the wooden shield of the navy is easy to catch fire, they have experience in dealing with rockets, and the shield that is on fire will immediately fall down, and someone behind will quickly top it, as long as it is slapped on the ground a few times, the rocket will be extinguished.
Shaodiantai was also surrounded by many magicians, and at this time, one of them flew down into the cavalry formation.
"It's an eye-opener, the first mixed troops have to play riding and foot coordination. Ding Kui immediately guessed the other party's intentions.
The infantry opens the way in front, the cavalry accelerates behind, and when the cavalry is about to catch up with the infantry, the infantry formation will flash several passages to allow the cavalry to overtake them, which is the cavalry coordination.
Cavalry coordination has extremely high requirements for the coordination of the two armies, the infantry will expose the cavalry if it is fast, and even worse if it is slow, the cavalry will crash into their own people, unless the cavalry can slow down in time.
"They don't have time, and if they drag it any longer, our reinforcements will come over, and now it depends on the cavalry's riding skills, and the infantry can't be reliable. Tan Shang seemed very bored, and he had nothing else to do except move his mouth.
"Where's the ballista?" Qiao Meng looked back and saw that it was as cold as a blade.
"Ready. ”
"Go to those points. Qiao Meng pointed out the direction to Han Ru Blade, and Han Ru Blade walked away quickly.
"Tank preparation. "His attention returned to the battlefield.
Beidaying just built a few trebuchets.
He felt the shaking of the ground and shouted: "Projectile the tank, the front is averaged." ”
The cavalry outside began to charge, and a magician flew down and informed Jomon: "The 91st Division is charging. ”
"Thank you! There seemed to be a flame jumping in Jomon's eyes.
Shaodian Cang ran at the front of the line, his body half-squatting on the back of the horse, and shouted: "Control, control!" ”
