Chapter 829: Muddy Water Town Defense Line
"Thank you very much, Earl Ding, you have come all the way to support us, this heart will be remembered by the Twenty Legions.?? Bayi Chinese.com ==≤.≤ "This staff officer, named Tie Qibin, is the chief officer who receives reinforcements from all walks of life.
The local armed support for the 20th Army Corps is completely personal, and there is no official hard and fast rule that people can come or not. Tie Qibin wanted to thank every local armed force who rushed to write down this favor on behalf of the 20th Army Corps.
Ding Kui said politely: "Juyang City has only recently become my territory, and I haven't formed many private armies, I hope that the iron staff officer will not think that we are too few people." ”
"Where can it, General Fei's prestige has terrified the Three Kingdoms Alliance, even if he comes alone, it can greatly boost our morale, not to mention that you have brought a mighty army that has always been strict in military discipline. Let's see, all of them are dressed in fine armor, and they are still ......."
Tie Qibin didn't look at it or didn't care, he was stunned when he looked at it so closely.
Although the special operations battalion in Giant Sheep City is all riding horses, the equipment looks like infantry, and the key is that everyone has bows and arrows on their horses, and as a staff officer of the regular army, he is not sure what kind of army this is.
"Oh, hehe, they are special operations infantry, they can ride and shoot, and they know a little fur about everything, which is quite effective against monsters. Ding Kui modestly introduced Tie Qibin.
"Oh, I've heard for a long time that Lord Earl is the captain of the special operations team, and he is good at special operations behind enemy lines. Tie Qibin praised the troops brought by Ding Kui half-sincerely and half-flatteringly.
The people in the military would know more or less about the affairs of the Ding family, and the regiment in Nannuma Prefecture was naturally familiar with Ding Kui's deeds.
"What can't fly generals, it's because everyone humbly asked me to kill a few more enemies, all for the sake of the country. How's it going? What's going on on the line now?"
Ding Kui heard the movement on the eastern defense line, and there must be a battle going on.
"Let me give you a brief overview of the current situation. Yesterday afternoon, the strikers of the beast tide began to attack the defence, and it didn't take much effort to block it because we had been prepared.
The first wave of Warcraft attacks just now is a combination of weevils and red-headed kites, and it will take a certain amount of time to deal with them, and the battle should continue. Tie Qibin said.
"The 195th Division is stationed from the North Fortress to the West Fortress, and the 196th Division is stationed at the South Fortress and the Middle Fortress, and the junction of the two divisions is the connection of nearby local troops. As he spoke, he took out a topographic map and pointed it out to Ding Kui.
The 20th Army Corps has two divisions guarding Muddy Water Town all year round, and the other three divisions are in the camp of Dongxing County as a reserve, and the remaining half of the army is guarding the border of their own country.
"Okay, then please arrange for us with the iron staff, we can go to the front at any time. Without further ado, Ding Kui immediately asked for battle.
Tie Qibin looked at the team in Giant Sheep City again and said, "Your troops can fight near and far, and they have magical power comparable to a division, so it is the most suitable to defend the fortress.
The 196th Division has 4,000 men in the middle fortress, plus 3,000 people in the southern fortress, and the troops responsible for defending the camp are slightly insufficient, so why don't you be in charge of guarding the southern fortress for a period of time?"
The guards of the camp required a large number of melee troops, while the fortress required long-range firepower, and the men brought by Ding Kui were best suited to defend on the city walls.
Ding Kui naturally had no opinion on such an arrangement, and it was much safer on the city wall than in the camp.
Tie Qibin's power is quite great, so he turned his head and arranged a timetable for Ding Kui, and from early morning to afternoon tomorrow, the defense of the southern fortress will be handed over to the troops of Juyang City.
The defense line of Muddy Water Town was well guarded, so it was divided into four shifts to rotate, and each shift defended for about six hours.
The configuration of the special operations battalion is very luxurious in Tie Qibin's opinion, the most elite infantry team in the twentieth army will all be equipped with fine armor, and no infantry brigade has an exclusive team of magicians, and then look at Ding Kui and his personal guards can completely destroy any division commander. This army is a brigade, and it seems very luxurious to use it on fortresses with low troop requirements.
However, the local armed forces cannot follow the requirements of the regular army, not to mention that people are here to support, and there is no reason to treat people as coolies.
"Do you want me to observe the battle situation?" Qianyou asked Ding Kui secretly.
"No, the monster has no tactics, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. "Ding Kui has experience in resisting the tide of beasts and knows how to command a special operations battalion.
The entire Muddy Water Town is busy but not chaotic, and it is said that Yi Sheng has sat in the command of the defense line and personally commanded the resistance to this beast tide.
"Just send a staff officer to pick us up?" Ding Kun said dissatisfied.
He is a sixth-level combat power who is the top existence on the battlefield, coupled with Ding Kui's prestige in the army, the supreme commander does not come to greet him, at least he has to send a deputy general, just sending a staff officer makes him feel despised.
"Forget it, this time is different from the past, we may have to ask for the Twenty Legions in the future, they have been fighting in Nanmarsh Prefecture for the longest time, don't worry too much about them. Ding Kui is more open-minded.
He put the foundation in the giant sheep city, he needs to consider the surrounding environment, as the so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves, people can't blindly be strong, when they should be tolerant, they must be tolerant.
Tie Qibin's reception was still in place, and the quartermaster came to inquire about the needs of the camp tent where the accommodation was arranged, and the needs of the guest army were different from those of the main army, and the food and fragile ordnance had to be provided separately.
The diet of the special operations battalion is much better than that of ordinary troops, and Ding Kui basically spends all the military expenses of the 3,000 people at the royal outpost, and the cost of eating a meal for each person is equivalent to three times that of ordinary regular soldiers.
However, in Juyang City, there is such treatment for soldiers, and auxiliaries and recruits are not as good as ordinary regular troops.
The beast tide did not put too much pressure on the defense line in the early stage, Ding Kui slept peacefully, and the next day he led his subordinates into the southern fortress in good spirits.
The walls of the southern fortress are twenty-five meters high, ten meters wide, and about five hundred meters long, specially used to prevent beast tides, and the city defense facilities are different from ordinary cities, and are mostly used for the type of fire attack, and the targeted restraint of water monsters.
"Dou Xiaoqi, divide your troops into two parts, one part is close to the city wall for defense, and the other part is on guard at the back; Qianyou, the magicians are also divided into two teams, each magician is responsible for the fifty-meter-wide defense area; Shao Dianye, the personal guard is under your command and is responsible for receiving everyone. Ding Kui ordered.
Their tactics were simple, they shot them with bows and arrows if they attacked the camps on the ground, they climbed the walls to kill them at close range, and the task of the mages and the guards was to cover the infantry.
The 500 special forces were divided into two teams, each defending a two-meter-wide line, and each magician and personal guard was responsible for a fifty-meter-wide line, with Ding Kui and Ding Kun in charge of the overall situation.
"The red-headed kite is here again. Qianyou built a pergola in front of his forehead with one hand and looked at the sky to the east.
"Their target is the Middle Fortress, there won't be a few left flying over our heads, so let's keep our eyes on the ground. ”
Ding Kui has been carefully observing the fortress since yesterday, the stronghold equivalent to putting a circular wall on the outside of the magic tower. Most of the ranged attack forces along the entire line of defense were concentrated there, as the middle fortress had an attack surface of three hundred and sixty degrees.
The exit of the swamp is too wide, and the narrowest place in the north and south is also three or four kilometers long, and a fortress with a diameter of about 800 meters can be placed in the middle to weaken the impact of the beast tide on the defense line.
Qianyou was on the front line of Tianmen Town to resist the beast tide, and his military experience was not as good as Ding Kui's.
"Relax, it will take a while for the beasts to come up, and it will be too late for them to cross the three trenches and get ready. Check the finger buckle, don't panic and shoot out, whoever has a broken finger will be responsible for pouring the foot wash water tonight!" Dou Xiao rode on the patrol wall.
He is also quite experienced, and he is the most relaxed one except for Ding Kui and Ding Kun.
Ding Kui patted Shao Dianye's shoulder, pointed ahead and said, "The water system demonic beasts of the swamp are not running fast on the flat ground, and it will take a cup of tea to wait for the beasts to press up." ”
Shao Dianye loosened his grip on the barrel of the gun, exhaled, and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”
"Ding Fen, pay attention to keep your distance, you are the weakest melee here, don't stay too far away from me. Ding Kui did not forget to instruct Ding Fen.
"Don't worry, master, I will protect you!" Ding Fen was nervous and excited, and raised the longbow in his hand at Ding Kui.
"Take care of yourself, if you don't let me and the young master save you, it will be considered a success. Ding Kun did not change his name for Ding Kui, first, he stubbornly thought that Ding Qi was fine, and second, he didn't want to leak the news of Ding Qi's disappearance.
Ding Fen secretly stuck out her tongue, and was the most obedient in front of the old housekeeper. The person she fears most in the Ding family is Ding Kun.
"White-nosed lizards and weevil-nosed otters!" Ding Kui saw the demonic beasts running in the distance, "Pay attention to the petrified rays of the white-nosed lizard, and avoid the vital parts of the body!" he warned the special operations battalion.
White-snouted lizard, a third-level earth and water amphibious magical beast, has a natural magic of petrified rays, which can stiffen the human body or local limbs for several minutes, and is good at climbing and biting.
"Check your armor! Change the cork shield in the front row! The bow and arrow don't need to be aimed, the faster you shoot it, the better!" Dou Xiaoqi heard Ding Kui's warning and immediately changed his battle order.
"The Warcraft Striker will take off after passing the middle fortress!" "Qianyou began to command the magicians of the Giant Sheep City Guild.
The ground in front of the line was covered with white and cyan, and countless weevils and white-snouted lizards were mixed together and rolled towards the human line like a tidal wave.
Squeak, squeak, thousands of bare-headed kites swooped down on the middle fortress, falling like a giant net. In mid-air, the red-headed kite spewed fireballs one after another, like fireworks rushing down and bursting, and a shower of fire was about to fall.
The magic tower of the middle fortress did not raise the magic cover, but there were dozens of waterfalls that rolled upside down into the sky, accurately rolling towards the area where the fire and rain were dense.
Woo woo, bursts of trombone sounded at the same time.
Knock knock, the three fortresses in the north, west, and south beat war drums to echo.
In the camps on the defensive line, neat rows of infantry stood up and steadily walked towards their respective defensive areas.
