Chapter 962: Besieging Nanqiu County
Oh, the cups and saucers on the coffee table jumped up, and a splash of hot tea spilled on several sides, "How can Jiman be so shameless?
When the events of the county town reached Hengfu City, Shaodian Luan was furious after listening to Ding Zhong's report and analysis.
"It's chilling!"
"Madame is angry, this is not necessarily the meaning of self-man, attacking a kingdom with in-laws is not for the prince to decide. "Ding Kun has always been guarding Shaodianluan's side.
At the moment of the great enemy, the safety of Ding Kui and his family is the most important, almost everyone has a sixth-level combat power around them, and the most critical one is a legendary knight to take care of.
"What? you mean, how is it possible?" Shaodian Luan's mind was a little confused.
She was a relatively early candidate for the concubine, and she was the eldest daughter, and her younger brother was the eldest son, and she had only heard of the open and secret battles between the concubines and concubines of the harem, and she had not learned the dirty tricks between the members of the royal family, and she could not understand that people of noble status would use dirty means.
"This is the usual method of the royal families, Shaodian Kingdom," Ding Kun said with a pause, "and it is no exception. In the end, he said it in front of the eldest princess.
"That's my aunt and uncle, my father has only been there for a long time, how can they do this?"
"Aunt and uncle, alas, how was your uncle back then? What about your cousin now? The old slave didn't mean to blame the first king, the royal family's affection was very weak. Ding Kun simply went a little deeper.
"Uncle, he, didn't he commit suicide?"
"Why did the first heir to the throne commit suicide when the first king died? If Prince Ji had temporarily forbeared, waited for the return of the Eighth Legion, and then questioned the legitimacy of the throne of the first king, it was difficult to say who would win in the end, and a civil strife was inevitable. ”
Shaodian Luan was silent after listening, she needed time to digest, Ding Kun didn't understand everything she said, but she recognized the first sentence, how could the heir to the throne commit suicide because of the death of the first king.
"The aristocracy knows etiquette and observes etiquette, because etiquette is greater than profit, and the royal family also knows etiquette, but some benefits are far greater than etiquette. Just like now, if you can forcibly occupy the territory of other countries, what is it for Jinan to bear a little infamy. ”
Ding Kun is a child of an ordinary family, but he was promoted by Ding Dao and became the housekeeper of the protector of the country, and it is so simple to see the nobility from his point of view.
"Is this bullying that my father is no longer there?" Shaodian Luan thought for a long time and came up with this sentence.
"The civil strife in the kingdom is unprecedented, and of course the source of this situation is the assassination of the former king, and you can think of it that way. ”
"I want to put down this civil strife!" Shaodianluan suddenly realized that he was responsible.
"Madam, there are many people in the Shaodian royal family, and no one can take your turn, you are now a member of the Ding family. ”
"I am the protector of the Hou family, and I have the responsibility to protect the country!"
"This," Ding Kun couldn't refute, "You can discuss it with the master." ”
At this time, Ding Kui naturally didn't know what his wife was thinking, and he and Ao Yu were secretly observing the regular army of their country.
"The Third Northern Army, this time it's a bit of trouble. Ding Kui saw the enemy's flag in the binoculars.
"Haven't heard of it. Ao Yu's answer was crisp.
"That's the elite legion of our own country, our country claims to have five glorious legions, in fact, according to our standards, there are only two that can really be called elite legions, one is the Northern Third Legion, and the other is the Glory First Legion. ”
Ding Kui put away the binoculars, retreated to the back of the grass slope, sat on the ground, looked at the leopard grazing at the bottom of the slope, and said: "It's a bit tricky, there are masters in the three northern legions of my country, they won't delay time, after tonight, tomorrow will be attacked, and the county town is difficult to defend." ”
Ao Yu punched Ding Kui with his fist, "Am I not a master?"
"Yes, you are, if you are not afraid to use the dragon claw in front of everyone, it is possible to kill a sixth-level combat power, the problem is that you can't use it. Ding Kui was too lazy to worry about Ao Yu.
"But that's fine. He pinched his chin and looked at Ao Yu.
Ao Yu shivered and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Why don't you go and secretly protect Lao Zhang? The county town will fall so early, the enemy's follow-up troops will definitely not have time to catch up, their encirclement will not be too tight, and the chances of internal and external cooperation will be greatly improved, and I can take you out." Now just prevent Lao Zhang from being forcibly killed by the masters. "Ding Kui's purpose has not changed.
"Why don't you protect it?"
"I'm leaving, you take the special operations battalion, you command the cavalry brigade, and thousands of old comrades-in-arms in the city, it's not as dangerous as you think. Ding Kui looked at Ao Yu with sincere eyes.
"I don't know why, but I panicked when I saw you like this. "Ao Yu in the seal won't get goosebumps.
"Don't be cowardly, master, the life of the adult will be entrusted to you. Ding Kui stood up, walked over and patted Ao Yu on the shoulder.
The Northern Third Army was worthy of the name of elite, and the forward troops followed closely behind Lepi's army, and in the evening, they killed outside the city of Nanqiu County, forcing back the 201st Division that went out of the city to attack Lepi's private army.
The scouts were the first to discover that Lepi's troops rushed to the county seat, and Zhang Jie immediately led the first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh brigades out of the city, with cavalry as the lead and the infantry and bow army as the main formation, and launched an attack on the 30,000 Lepi private troops that had not yet gained a firm foothold.
Where did Le Pi think that the county would dare to fight his 30,000 people with a few thousand people, the vanguard was immediately scattered, and it was not until the main force of his Chinese army arrived that he stabilized his position, and it didn't take long for the vanguard of the Northern Third Army Corps to rush over.
Zhang Jie found that the banner of the Northern Third Army Corps was decisively withdrawn to the city.
"The Northern Third Legion, the Elite Legion," he immediately climbed the tower when he returned to the city and observed the enemy's camp, "The division of labor among the soldiers who built the camp was clear and orderly, and the movements were very fast, not like a fake." ”
"Why don't you attack the enemy camp tonight? Feng Liang also followed the castle tower.
"If you have Ding Kui's ability, I will let you go, look at the dust behind it, it is estimated that their main force is about to arrive, that is a legion, are you going to die?" Zhang Jie said unceremoniously.
Feng Liang didn't feel ashamed compared to Ding Kui, not everyone has the ability to attack at night, Ding Kui is second to none in the 21st Legion, "The north and east have been sealed, and the enemy army in the south is also building a barracks, and the west is surrounded on all sides, and the enemy army does not plan to let us go, and we are all dead." ”
"Then fight them in the streets, I don't believe my own people will slaughter the city. "Zhang Jie has not considered being able to hold the city wall.
The elite legion means that there are sixth-level combat power, and they are experienced in war, it is not difficult to open a gap in the city wall, the strength disadvantage of the defenders is so obvious, there is a gap is equivalent to a loss.
"If you can't hold it, break through. Feng Liang hasn't given up persuading Zhang Jie yet.
"You," Zhang Jie put his hand on Feng Liang's shoulder, "once you turn into street fighting, you lead the first brigade to break through from the west."
If I am unfortunately killed, you will be the acting commander of the 201st Division, and you will order the whole county to form a militia, and Ding Kui will be responsible for commanding the militia to resist the invading army. ”
"Your Excellency!"
"Violators will be killed!"
"But the power of the militia lies with the county guard. ”
"If I die, will he still live?"
At this time, Hou Bing, who received the news, hurried over, climbed the city tower and shouted: "General Zhang, how is the situation? Can the county town be defended?"
"Only to the death. Zhang Jie turned around and continued to observe the enemy camp.
The people in Nanqiu County were panicked, due to the existence of the ban on the streets, the common people could not visit the door, and could not know the situation outside the city, only heard that the 201st Division retreated to the city, and the city defense army had a total of about 12,000 people to defend the county.
After receiving Zhang Jie's notice and sending the latest battle situation to all the cities in the county and Nanjing City, the Magicians' Guild immediately dismantled the magic transmission array, concentrated all the important materials on the three magicians, and then arranged for them to fly away from the county at night.
As the guild leader said, what the guild's predecessors did more than five years ago, the guild's magicians should do now, and precious things must not fall into the hands of intruders.
There was a sense of tragedy inside the city, but the people outside the city were ready to move.
After Tang Qi, the commander of the Northern Third Army Corps, and other military camps were built, he held a military meeting to discuss whether to attack the city at night.
The local army belonging to Beiguan County had 80,000 men, and military camps had been built in the north, west, and south of Nanqiu County, because the north was taken over by the troops of the Northern Third Army Corps, so it was only responsible for defending the west and south, with 40,000 men in each direction.
The Northern Third Army Corps was divided into 50,000 men to guard the north, and there were still 50,000 main forces left in the east.
"The siege of the city began in the middle of the night, which could contain the defenders, who could not concentrate their forces and consider breaking through, and after dawn the main forces were rested, our army could break through the city in one go. Tang Qi set the tone for the meeting from the beginning.
"Can lure the enemy out of the city and rob the camp? Destroy their forces outside the city, and our army will be able to reduce resistance when attacking the city. "The chief of staff of the corps suggested.
"Hehe, with me, will there be resistance to the siege?" said a white-robed magician beside Tang Qi.
This magician's skin is blue, a bit like poisoning, but those who know him don't think it's strange, because he is the water forbidden magician Ban Tu, and his blue skin is caused by practicing magic.
"Hahaha, Master Ban is reasonable, we should take the initiative in our hands, lead the enemy by the nose, and lure the enemy out of the city is not safe. Tang Qi's laughter was hearty.
"Huh?" Ban Di's expression moved, and his spiritual power quickly swept out.
Tang Qi immediately put his index finger in front of his mouth, and the others didn't dare to make a sound when they saw this, so they closed their mouths and observed Ban Di's expression.
Ban Tu frowned, looked puzzled, and said after a while, "It's okay, maybe it's my delusion." ”
Tang Qi asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"A feeling of being watched suddenly arose in my heart just now, but after carefully searching the surroundings, I didn't find anything wrong, and that feeling I had during the afternoon march, but I didn't find any problems. "Ban Tu is very confident in his mental strength.
