"Fan Shuai, you also know the rules of the Commander's Mansion, and the procedures for transferring in and out of the Eighth Army are very cumbersome, even I don't have the right to decide. Jiang Zhi was grateful to Fan Yi for helping him speak many times, and he was not annoyed when he saw that Fan Yi was a little digging, but just opened his mouth to seal the words, "If the enemy army chooses to retreat now, then our previous discussions will all be nullified, Hu Shuai is right, we have to go to the front immediately to have a look." ”

Flying on the mountain, Liang Chong hurried to report to Zhang Jie: "Most of the Meng army scouts under the mountain suddenly withdrew, and the rest are far away from the foot of the mountain. ”

"Well, the main army has arrived, and the strength of the Meng army is starting to be stretched, so they just need to guard in one direction and let us go somewhere else. Zhang Jie's first reaction was that the enemy didn't care about them.

"It is better for us to descend from the west and put on a posture in the direction of Shapu City, so as to attract a part of the enemy's forces to surround us. "Liang Chong's inference is the same as Zhang Jie, the change in the enemy scouts is that they don't want to waste their energy on the 201st Division, they stay in the mountains, and they don't go down to the mountains to do something.

The 201st Division began to move, put on armor, picked up weapons, brought water and dry rations, and descended the mountain in an orderly manner under the command of officers at all levels. The recruits were not idle on the mountain, and they were trained in different subjects such as mountain running and rock climbing every day, and the team's cooperation was further proficient.

Under the threat of foreign enemies, the growth rate of recruits is much faster than normal training, and the recruits of the 201st Division basically know what it is like to fight a war and how important teamwork is on the battlefield. What kind of role should everyone play, what formation, how to stand, where there is a gap, who should fill it, and so on, these basic battle formation knowledge are basically mastered.

Ding Kui, who was neatly dressed, gathered his subordinates, waited left and right, but did not wait for Xue Chong's departure order, and when he was impatient and wanted to find Xue Chong, he saw Xue Chong striding over.

"Master Zhang ordered that the first brigade stay in the cottage, and the first squadron is responsible for all the posts above the mountain, and Ding Kui receives the order. "It turns out that Xue Chong is here to give orders.

Ding Kui clenched his hands into fists, raised them to his forehead, and said, "Your subordinates have orders!"

"Team Xue, have you offended your superiors? How did the good cavalry brigade become a left-behind unit?" Ding Kui grabbed Xue Chong, who wanted to leave, and the question in his chest was not unhappy.

"Who offended the superiors? Don't think about it, the division is just bluffing when it comes down the mountain, and if the enemy comes to block it, the troops will retreat to the mountain. Our brigade has thousands of war horses, and they will go down the mountain and up the mountain for a while, which is too troublesome, so they are arranged to guard the cottage. Hurry up to the top of your mountain, and report immediately if you find a threat to the army!" Xue Chong's eyes widened after saying a few words, and Ding Kui was driven away.

"I heard it all!" Ding Kui's lack of interest, "Yan Wei, you are in charge of the sentry assignment, and I will go to the top of the mountain." After speaking, he took Ao Yu and left his subordinates and went to the top of the mountain.

Zhang Jie led a few people to run a few laps in front of the army, but there was no sign that anyone was coming to intercept them.

Ding Kui and Ao Yu squatted boredly on the platform at the top of the mountain, and the situation around Feixiang Mountain was observed, and no people or objects could threaten the 201st Division.

"My lord, is it true that the enemy army completely ignores us? Or is the enemy's strength all held back by the main force of our army and unable to take care of us?"

"The enemy army has at least five legions of more than 400,000 men deployed in this area, and if all of them are pinned, then the battlefield will have to be so big that it is impossible for the enemy army to have no time to take care of us, so they can only completely ignore us.

As long as the enemy arranges the defensive circle of Shapu City, there are sufficient guarding forces in any direction, so that they are not afraid of our army ambushing nearby, and it doesn't matter whether they let our troops out of the mountain or not. "To be honest, Zhang Jie has never participated in the battle of one million troops, and he also analyzes it according to previous examples.

"Then should we drive into Shapu City to have a look?" Liang Chong is quite bold, not much different from those staff officers who have just stepped on the battlefield, and he is not afraid of anything before he suffers.

"Well, whether one of our divisions goes to Shapu City or not actually doesn't have much impact, and if we run over, we will be driven back by the enemy. Let's wait and see, if we don't see the enemy coming in another hour, we can be sure that the defense ring of Shapu City has been completed. "After all, Zhang Jie is not a rookie on the battlefield, and the results of the battle must be considered when commanding the troops.

The main force of the 22nd Army finally came to the city of Zengxi, and a strong man ran out of the city on a war horse, shouting "Urgent report from the front headquarters" all the way to the handsome flag of the Chinese army.

"Let Captain Pei report to the horse. Jin Man waved his hand to get out of the way.

"Pei Lang, the first squadron of the first brigade of the 211th Division, see the marshal. The strong man turned over and dismounted, kneeling in front of Jin Man's horse.

"Okay, useless guy, raising the flag can't rob the 21st Army, and you will lose the war, do you still have the face to call yourself elite?" Jin Man actually knew the captain of the famous squadron, and he seemed to be quite familiar.

"Well, this ......" The strong man is Pei Lang that Ding Kui met when he raised the flag at the base camp.

"Don't think about how to explain it, there is the ability to show it on the battlefield. Well, let's talk about what the front command has. ”

"Oh, a letter eagle from the front-line headquarters just flew in, saying that it was possible that the Meng army was planning to withdraw to Xiahang Pass, and the temporary commander-in-chief, Chief of Staff Jiang, asked our army to rush to Shapu City as soon as possible. Pei Lang held the letter from the letter in both hands.

"The Meng army is going to withdraw. Jin Man turned his head to look at the carriage behind him.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Pei Yi came out and said, "Kill Huairou City immediately! The Meng army is about to run away, why should we rush over? Recovering the country is the first priority." ”

Jin Man could hear that this was for him to grab the credit, the enemy army had withdrawn, and the land still needed them to recover? However, whoever first restored the governance of the city should be counted as whoever regained it, and at this time, he could go to Huairou City and seize it without spending a single soldier.

The commander who leads the army independently has the right to judge whether to carry out the orders of the superior according to the situation of the battle, and if there is a better option than the military order, then the commander can not carry out the military order. If you don't want to listen to the military orders of your superiors, recovering the city is an excellent excuse.

"Order the 211th Division, let them leave their baggage and rush to Huairou City, and be sure to rush to the city before dark to raise the flag of the 22nd Army! You, Pei Lang, this is your chance to make meritorious contributions. "The specific tactical arrangement, Jin Man doesn't need Pei Yi to teach.

To deal with an empty city that is very likely, it is not necessary for the whole army to attack it at all, as long as the fastest marching division is sent over and the military flag is planted on the tower.

"Obey the order! I will take Huairou City for the commander!" Pei Lang took the order and left.
