Only a quarter of an hour after Nan Wushuang led the team away, a scout came back quickly and reported: "In the west-northwest direction, on the way to Guyan City in Huashan County, I found traces of the march of Meng's Ninth Army. ”

"Sure enough, we came from north-north-northwest, and the enemy army passed by twenty or thirty miles away from our army. Fan Yi stared at the commander of the 11th Division fiercely, "The 14th and 15th Divisions are the vanguard, the 11th Division is the rearguard, and the others are the Chinese army." Chase!"

The chief of staff of the Second Army Corps asked, "My lord, don't you need to leave people here to block the pass?"

"No, the enemy is not stationed here, we just need to intercept the retreat of the Ninth Army of Meng. "Fan Yi lost a division and was unwilling to disperse his forces.

The military flag closes the city tower.

"Great Marshal, the Ninth Army has broken through the barracks of the Blockade Pass and is now attacking Huashan County. A female soldier came to Helian Yu and whispered.

"Hong Jin has two hits, let him go, stirring up the rear of Shaodian Kingdom is a great achievement. Someone came, and ordered Ma Pre to send another 10,000 people out of the customs to dig a ditch. Remember, don't dig too deep to avoid the trouble of filling it in. Helian Yu, who was fully armed, was heroic, and there was a soul-stirring smile on the corner of his mouth.

The female soldier forced a smile and took the order flag and left.

The headquarters of the base camp of the Shaodian Army.

"In the direction of the lower pass, the purpose of the Meng's Ninth Army Corps to attack Huashan County is not clear; in the direction of the Junqi Pass, the enemy's troops working out of the city have increased to about 15,000; in the direction of Dougou Pass, there has not been any change in the Meng's 13th Corps; in the direction of the three passes in the north, the enemy army has sent more scouts out of the pass and has done their best to drive away our army scouts. "Staff Officer Zhang gave a report on the recent military situation.

"According to the estimation of the General Staff, the armies of Cao and Qi are likely to attack our army's northern defense zone on a large scale, with an estimated strength of about 500,000 troops; in the southern theater, except for the lower hanging pass, there is no movement in other places; the central theater is more complicated, and the 13th Army Corps of Meng, which we believe is a feint, may turn into the main attack at any time, and the main force of the enemy army may also be killed at any time at the Junqi Pass, where the defensive project is being carried out, and the strength is estimated to be 400,000 to 450,000. It was the first time Jiang Zhi had given such a vague analysis.

"Where are our reinforcements at the moment?" Jiang Xi asked.

"The first part of the 21st Army and the first part of the 22nd Army are less than a day's journey from the base camp, the 201st Division of the 21st Army is less than five days away from the base camp, the 211th Division of the 22nd Army will arrive at the base camp in about six days, and the main forces of the two new corps will arrive in ten days at the earliest. Staff Officer Sun reported.

"Marshal, although the quality of the soldiers of the 21st and 22nd Army Corps is high, they have not undergone enough joint training, and even if they rush to the war zone, they cannot take charge alone. Staff Officer Zhang raised his concerns.

"Ten days, the enemy army has a time difference of ten days, we must survive these ten days! The new legion is basically from the knights' guild and the samurai training camp, and the captain and above who lead the troops have rich combat experience, and the battlefield is their best training ground, I believe they can become the elite division of the kingdom. "Jiang Xi has a lot of new recruits.

"At present, in the northern theater, our army's 11th Army Corps and Kongjia Army have a total of 200,000 people, and I suggest that the 12th Army Corps be transferred to the past to carry out key defenses and try our best to delay the enemy's offensive speed; in the southern theater, our army has the 1st Army Corps and the 1st 20th Army Corps, and I suggest that the 1st Army Corps of the 20th Army go north to assist the 2nd Army Corps in encircling the Ninth Army Corps of Meng, and use the strategic depth of our army to strive to eliminate most of the strength of the 9th Army Corps of Meng; the remaining 8th and 14th Army Corps and the 1st Army Corps in Lindi. The four regiments of the first class of Haiti strictly guarded the central theater of operations, tried their best to cooperate with the enemy's suspicious tactics, and delayed Helian Yu's time to launch a general offensive. Jiang Zhi made a suggestion after learning of Jiang Xi's intentions.

"Wouldn't it be a bit too risky to put two local legions in the middle to face the enemy's elite main force?" Staff Officer Sun did not believe in the combat effectiveness of the local legions.

"If Chief of Staff Jiang's plan is implemented, the Northern Theater needs to use 300,000 troops to defend against 500,000 enemy troops, and there is already the Kong Army there, so it is not appropriate to send local legions over. In addition, the morale of the Eighth Army Corps is now high, and with the cooperation of the Fourteenth Army Corps and two local legions, even if all the elite of the enemy army are concentrated in the Central Theater, I believe they have the strength to fight. Jiang Xi was very satisfied with the reaction of the officers and men of the Eighth Army when they learned that Ding Kui was about to arrive in the war zone.

The influence of my little nephew is too strong, the Eighth Army seems to have rediscovered the soul of the army, the whole army has a new look, every division and regiment are scrambling to apply to go to the front, they are not afraid of too many enemies at all, but they are worried that they have not fought and cannot perform in front of the prince of the protector.

Jiang Xi's confidence comes from this.

The main force of the Twelfth Army Corps, which had already moved north for half a day, began to pull out its camp, and they were to continue to advance north to support the northern theater of operations.

In Tunchang County, the three newly formed cavalry divisions of the 20th Army Corps set off overnight and rushed to Huashan County at full speed.

In Guyan City, Huashan County, the city lord personally ran around the city to recruit young men to go up to the city wall to assist in the defense; the knights' guild requisitioned all the letter eagles in the city to send an alarm to the county and nearby cities; the magicians' guild distributed all the materials in stock and gathered all the apprentice magicians to go to the city to defend.

The Ninth Army of the Mongol State surrounded Guyan City.

Hong Jin looked at the increasing defenders at the head of the city, and thought about the Second Army Corps on the ground behind him, which was less than half a day's away from him, so he had to order: "All divisions and regiments are free to plunder the nearby villages and towns, and gather in the wilderness ten miles west of the city in two hours." ”

The commander of the city defense army of Guyan City looked at the enemy army roaring away, and put a boulder in his heart, but soon raised his heart and liver, and there was a little third and child living in the nearby town.

Nan Wushuang encountered more and more enemy scouts, and had to stop the pace of pursuit, and little by little tested the weakness of the enemy's defenses.

That night, Ding Kui led the first team to their last camp.

He summoned all the squadron leaders to a meeting, intending to boost everyone's morale and rush to the base camp in the theater at full speed early tomorrow morning.

Without waiting for Ding Kui to say a few words, Ji Xing, who was in charge of vigilance, came to report: "His subordinates found a suspicious figure who claimed to be a friendly soldier, and he also asked the acting captain to go and see him. ”

"What kind of person do you want to see me?" Ding Kui wondered.

He did look like a commander, but he didn't show his identification documents, and the third team temporarily surrounded him outside the camp. Ji Xing replied.

"Like sir, could he be our Captain Xue, let's go, let's take a look." Ding Kui was beckoning the squadron leaders to come out of the camp to check.

At this time, Ao Yu opened the tent door and strode in, carrying a person with a big tie in his hand. He threw the person to the ground and said excitedly to Ding Kui: "Ding, sir, I have caught a suspicious spy. ”
