"Blow the rallying horn and let Ding Kui and them come back. Xue Chong ordered.

There were nearly 300 casualties in the first brigade of this encounter, and Ding Kui saw so many comrades killed and wounded for the first time.

The rallying call sounded again and again, and Ding Kui ran back with the team in a huff.

"The enemy army is almost here, send the wounded back immediately, and the bodies of their comrades cannot be left behind, so they are all brought back. "Xue Chong's heart is dripping blood, this battle is equivalent to a high-level soldier fighting a low-level soldier, and some of his high-level soldiers were consumed by the enemy's large number of low-level soldiers, and the battle was won, but he felt that he had lost.

Dust was raised in the sky in the north in the distance, and Ding Kui could also see that a large army was approaching, and the number was not below the 201st Division, which was the experience he had gained from practice.

The book and the teacher's verbal descriptions are not so detailed, and one must have seen a few troop marches of equal numbers with one's own eyes to roughly judge how far and how much dust represents the number of troops.

"It's up to the division to see if they can stop them outside the city. Ding Kui retreated with Xue Chong.

"Master Zhang has been through a hundred battles and will lead us to repel the enemy. Xue Chong pinned his hopes on Zhang Jie.

Most of the members of the 201st Division had never fought a battle, and many of them had never even seen what the enemy was like, and their combat experience was far inferior to that of their opponents.

The 1st Brigade returned to Shapu City and found that a field defense line had been built in the north of the city, and three unequal earth slopes were connected by a man-high mud wall, and in front of this tortuous line of defense there were still people digging trenches, and the mud dug out of the trenches was transported to the earthen walls to be used to raise and thicken the walls.

This line of defense, which was four or five kilometers long, was stuck in the passage to Shapu City, and fortifications were built on both sides, but the fortifications on the north side were nearing completion, and the fortifications on the south side had only begun to take shape. Once all the fortifications on both sides were built, the 201st Division could spend the night on the defensive line, and even temporary barracks could be omitted.

Someone waved the order flag on the dirt slope in the middle of the defense line, guiding the first brigade to withdraw to the defense line, it turned out that the periphery had dug traps, and there were broken block-shaped horseshoe pit areas, Ding Kui If they made a mistake, people and horses would break their legs. The traps and horseshoe pits were basically dug before the 201st Division came, and Zhang Jie added a little after looking at the terrain to connect the defensive areas.

Zhang Jie asked Xue Chong to understand the battle situation, and speculated that the forward troops of the Meng army should have three divisions, "This time the first brigade did a good job, the scouts of the enemy's three brigades did not infiltrate, and the reality of our army can still confuse the enemy for a while, and the time drags on for a while and the sky will be dark, with us staying here, the enemy does not dare to get too close to Shapu City to build a large camp." ”

"My lord," Liang Chong hurried to find Zhang Jie, "all the magicians left behind by the Shapu City Magicians Guild have come to support our division. ”

"Oh, great, call them over. I'm going to see them. Zhang Jie immediately followed Liangchong and left, leaving Xue Chong and Ding Kui alone.

"Hey, this city lord is going to defend Shapu City to the death. Xue Chong sighed.

"How did Team Xue know?" Ding Kui was a little curious.

Cui Dun only took people out of the city after they set off, and it stands to reason that he didn't know about Cui Dun's affairs.

"There are rules in the kingdom that no one can force a mage to fight to the death, and when a mage's life is threatened, they can flee or surrender. Now the magicians in the city have come to join the division instead of staying in the city to guard, indicating that the city lord intends to live and die with the city, and let the magicians choose their own whereabouts. Xue Chong had heard a lot of similar situations in the Nannuma Prefecture War Zone.

Looking at Shapu City in the distance, Ding Kui said gloomily: "Are we going to watch this city be occupied?"

"It's not something you should think about. Xue Chong said very seriously, "You are just a squadron leader, and you are not much different from ordinary soldiers in this war zone, and all you can do is the military orders issued from above."

The commander of our division can only fight with the enemy here depending on the situation, if the enemy army is strong, we must preserve our strength and evacuate quickly, he can't change the fate of Shapu City, let alone you and me.

In such a large-scale battle, the gains and losses of one city and one place cannot determine the final battle situation, and no matter how much you think about it, it will not help. The rules on the battlefield determine how many troops you command and what military position you hold determines what you can think about. ”

These words were said by Xue Chong deliberately beating Ding Kui, sometimes he felt that Ding Kui was too bold, not the kind of officer who followed the rules, and was easy to go beyond his command, maybe one day his mind would be hot and he would do something to disobey military orders. He doesn't want Ding Kui's future to be ruined in his own hands, and he is willing to give Ding Kui a hand wherever he can remind and support.

"Hey. Ding Kui let out a long sigh, he understood the truth that there could be no kindness of women on the battlefield, and he still had a burden in his heart when he really experienced it himself.

At this time, Fuji was in a good mood, and his magician group had three more staff magicians, six robed magicians, and more than a dozen trainee magicians. Such a magical power is not very strong, but he is experienced in the battlefield and knows how difficult the next battle will be, and he cherishes every extra bit of strength.

There may be three divisions of the enemy army coming to hide the news of Fuji, no matter what kind of troops are coming, each division will definitely be equipped with a magician regiment, three divisions are three magician regiments, to say that Fuji has no pressure will not be believed.

Among the three wand-wielding magicians is an old fire magician who is nearly eighty years old, and this elderly magician named Yu Ku is the person in charge of the remaining sorcerers guild in Shapu City. When recruiting magicians in the base camp, the president of Shapu City took a group of magicians with him, leaving the overly old Yu Ku to look after the family.

Yu Ku has long been indifferent to life and death, but the guild's family is in his hands, and Shapu City is about to usher in a catastrophe, and the Magicians Guild cannot perish with it. Hearing that the 201st Division was coming to stop the enemy army and buy time for the people to evacuate, he did not hesitate to come to the door with the last of the guild's family members.

"Captain Fu, we can arrange a few of us at your disposal, but those apprentices want you to take care of it. Yu Ku said to Fu Jiming.

"Yu Lao doesn't have to be polite, just call me Fuji. Without your seniors contributing to the guild, how could the magical power of the kingdom deter the enemy country?, please rest assured, our mission is to stop and delay the enemy army, not to fight the enemy army, no matter how hard the battle is, I will not let those children join, on the contrary, let them learn how to fight in advance. The former county guild president didn't leave the scene behind.
