Chapter 997: A Failed Master
"You have to think clearly, you can only fight across the border to your own country by land, then Meng State can't help you, drag your country here and we can attack from both sides. Helian Yu frowned slightly.
Ding Kui replied bluntly: "Don't think about it, how many people will be left in Nanqiu County after two more years? ”
Helian Yu glanced at Ding Kui with deep meaning, and said, "Your people are basically here, and you won't lose much as long as the war lasts, what do the other people in Nanqiu County have to do with you?"
"They are all Shaodians," Ding Kui's face straightened, "I can't sacrifice them because of foreign interests." ”
"Hey, you're not from this world, why are you so clear?"
"I have the blood of the Shaodian people in my body, this is a fact that cannot be changed, not to mention that I am still a court horse and a nobleman of the Shaodian country, and I must not exchange the interests of the countrymen with you as a bargaining chip!"
"Well, now I'm sure you're a human being, and other creatures won't have such a stubborn sense of statehood. Helian Yu crossed Ding Kui and looked at the city in the distance, "Attacking your own country by land can't contain your own navy, at most I will send ships over to provide you with some ordnance." ”
"Five thousand sets of fine armor. ”
Ding Kui's fine armor has been fully equipped for the private army, and the next loss will definitely be greater than production, and he is not very short of other ordnance.
"No way, the fine armor is the control equipment. In this way, 1,000 sets of fine armor plus 1,000 sets of heavy armor are enough for your current needs. "Helian Yu doesn't have five thousand subordinates wearing fine armor now.
"Deal! There is a lack of medicine and coke in the city, you can send more of it. ”
Coming into winter, most of the coke in Juyang City is purchased from other places, and it is not available this year under the current situation.
In the early morning, the cold north wind blows off the leaves that have begun to wither, and the mist that used to cover the land is quickly dissipating, and most people are still in the fragrance of dreams.
Suddenly, a whistle of "beep" alarmed the defenders of our country stationed in Yanping Village.
Yanping Village is located to the west of Qinglan City, and after the defeat of the attack on Kada City, the army built fortifications in the area of Qinglan City, which is located at the forefront and has been stationed by scouts for a long time.
A small group of scouts jumped out of their posts and ran towards the village, whistling as they went, and a troop of cavalry appeared in the western wilderness, and the knights on horseback were all dressed in red.
"The Red Army is the cavalry of Juyang City!" a squad leader-like officer shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, four sharp arrows flew to the back of the squad leader, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Well done! Langnunu, Langbak. Shao Diancheng patted his horse and ran at the front, and Lang Nunu and Lang Bak, who were in the back of the side, hung up their longbows.
It turned out that Ding Kui's cavalry moved to the vicinity of Kada City, and when he heard that the 71st Division had arrived in the nearby area, Shao Diancheng commanded his men and horses to come out to find it, intending to join the 71st Division to act together, which was also Ding Kui's order.
"Oh no! Captain, they've lit the wolf smoke. Lang Nunu's eyes were sharp, and he noticed a thin smoke rising from the sky above Yanping Village.
"All speed up! Take Yanping Village as soon as possible. "Shaodian gave an order. This time, he personally led a hundred vanguards to raid, and Bai Yun led a large group of men and horses to meet behind, in order to capture Yanping Village before his own army found out.
When Bai Yun led the army to arrive, half of Yanping Village had fallen into flames, and Shao Diancheng, who was unwilling, led the vanguard around the village.
"What's the situation?" Bai Yun asked Lang Nunu in a low voice.
"The enemy was very cunning, and seemed to have guessed our attack, and early in the morning the village was covered with flammable materials, and as soon as we charged, the enemy set fire on fire, and before we could rush into the village, the fire could not be controlled. Lang Nunu hung his head.
"Our own defense is insufficient, and the enemy should know that the Eighth Army is coming, so prepare in advance, and the captain need not be so annoyed. Kong Wei came to Shao Diancheng's side and persuaded.
"As soon as the fire started, Yanjing Town was prepared, and it was not so easy for us to storm it, so it was so empty-handed to meet the 71st Division that Lord Ding was disgraced. ”
The children of the royal family inevitably want to show off their martial arts in front of the Eighth Army, and Shao Diancheng is rare to lead the troops, so he naturally does not want to let go of the opportunity to compete with the 71st Division.
"Why don't we bypass the village and storm Yanjing Town?" Bai Yun didn't understand the national conditions of Shaodian Kingdom, and only made suggestions based on experience.
"No need!" Kong Wei shook his head and said, "The fire will attract nearby troops, and if the 71st Division is there, we will definitely send someone to investigate, and we will just follow them to inform the enemy's preparations by the way."
The enemy forces in Yanjing Town will never dare to contend with the 71st Division, and seeing that the army will also choose to set fire, we must inform General Dong that we cannot repeat the mistakes of the past, and we need to think of a foolproof strategy to advance. ”
He knew Shao Diancheng's thoughts somewhat, but he was a staff officer in this team, and he needed to provide reasonable advice to the main general, and he also had to take into account the interests of Juyang City, and he couldn't let Shao Diancheng act recklessly.
In fact, just as Kong Wei expected, soon a magician appeared in the sky above Yanping Village, and after seeing the troops below, he summoned a team of cavalry scouts.
Confirming that the scout was a member of the 71st Division, Shao Diancheng and Kong Wei followed the scout to meet with the division commander Dong Ba.
After the 71st Division entered the boundary of Nanqiu County, it marched in hiding, and did not contact the local government, Dong Ba regarded the entire Nanqiu County as an enemy-occupied area, adopted a relatively conservative tactic, and sent a large number of scouts to reconnoitre, so as to understand the situation in the nearby area first.
"Are you the prince's subordinates?" Dong Ba looked at the two in front of him.
"This is a lowly card. Shao Diancheng took out the "certificate" of the captain of the royal outpost.
"This is a peer token issued by the Twentieth Legion. Kong Wei was afraid that Dong Ba would still be suspicious, so he took out the token given by the 199th Division.
"Well, I know you're in Kada City. Dong Ba confirmed the information he had so far, "Now that the prince and the princess are safe?" he asked Ding Kui's family about the situation without chatting about the war.
"Your Excellency and Mrs. are defending against the enemy's attack in Hengfu City, and the news we received a few days ago is not serious. Shaodian replied truthfully.
"Do you have a way to contact Hengfu City directly?" Dong Ba deliberately searched all over the world and knew about the existence of Hengfu City.
"There's a magic teleportation array there, you can go to the Magic Guild in Kada City and contact the adults directly. "Now Shao Diancheng can only contact Ding Kui through the Magic Guild, and the place occupied by his army has blocked the flight route of the Faith Eagle.
"Lord Dong, Hengfu City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are several sixth-level combat power in the city, including Lord Ding, and Jikou can't break through it in a short period of time. Kong Wei guessed what Dong Ba was worried about.
"What!" Dong Ba stood up suddenly, "The prince has been promoted to the master knight?"
(Finally sobering up from so many days of drunkenness, the Chinese New Year is sometimes a headache.) )
