Xue Chong was called to the staff headquarters after lunch, and it took a while to come back, and immediately after he returned, he called all the squadron leaders for a military meeting.

"Just now the theater command gave us an order. Xue Chong said.

"Headquarters?", "Give us orders directly?", "How can the front line be pulled? Even a thousand of us will not be spared." "Several squadron leaders are not calm.

"Hear me out first. Xue Chong glanced at Ding Kui, who was silent, "The command authority of the theater command is second only to the king, so we have to do whatever we want." Our brigade and the 1st Brigade of the 211th Division tracked down the 9th Army Corps of Meng Guo that rushed into Huashan County, and their main task was to discover and report the position of the enemy's main force, wait for an opportunity to destroy part of the enemy's forces, and cooperate with the 2nd Army Corps and the 1st Division of the 20th Army to eliminate the enemy's main force.

That is to say, the command took a fancy to our mobility and asked us to reconnoiter the enemy's main position, and if we could, we could easily kill some enemy troops, and the number of them was unlimited; if we encountered a large enemy force, we could retreat, and we would like to ensure our safety and mobility. To put it bluntly, let's be the scout of the Second Legion of Lindi, find and assist the Second Legion of Lindi to kill the Ninth Legion of Meng. ”

"What is the time limit for this military order?" asked Feng Liang.

Xue Chong gave Feng Liang a satisfied look and said, "The time limit is to set off immediately tomorrow morning and quickly go to Huashan County, if Meng's Ninth Army is defeated, we will return to the base camp." ”

"If a person doesn't kill, it's equivalent to a failed mission. Ding Kui spoke.

"Well, so to speak, we can only come back if the Meng Ninth Legion is defeated, and we have to kill a few in this process. Xue Chong nodded, "This is a map of the border area of Huashan County, Nanqiu County and Tunchang County, and it is the area where the Ninth Army of Meng may be active. "He sent a map to each squadron leader.

There is a special printing workshop in the base camp that is responsible for the production of specific maps and documents.

"Two thousand of us are going to track down a legion, and if the enemy army sets a trap at will, we will be annihilated, isn't this going to die?" the leader of the tenth squadron was most worried.

"The terrain in that area is open and flat, and it is not easy to set up ambushes, as long as you don't chase too deeply, you will basically not be surrounded. Ding Kui looked at the map and said.

"Captain Ding is right, I have led the army to that area, and I have fought with the enemy, don't worry, I will not lead you to death. Xue Chong's face showed slight dissatisfaction, and the words of the tenth squadron leader were doubting his judgment and command ability.

The top boss said so, and the other squadron leaders didn't say anything more.

"No opinion, you go back and explain the order to your subordinates, this time the base camp will give us another horse and a saddle, half a month's combat dry food, and set off early tomorrow morning. Xue Chong finally brought good news to everyone.

Two horses and two saddles are too important when escaping for their lives, horsepower is the survivability of cavalry, and it is much easier to escape the pursuit of Meng's Ninth Army that is deep behind enemy lines with one more horse.

Ding Kui went back and simply called the entire squadron, and everyone gathered around to listen to him explain the order.

"We are pure cavalry scouts, is that the plain?" Yan Wei worked hard in the county guild and was familiar with many battle examples.

"Yes, we are the target of the archers in the difficult terrain, and the archers on horseback in the plains cannot escape our pursuit. Jin Yan's family education is better, and his father Jin Cun was able to fight well and made a lot of achievements when he was young.

Peng Zhu patted his helmet and said, "Hehe, I can finally kill you." The death row prisoners near Sanyin City were all killed by him, but there is still a distance from the "10000 beheadings", and his goal this time is to complete the "10,000 beheadings".

"Track down the main force of the enemy, what if we are surrounded? Aren't you all worried?" Sun Lie was the least confident.

"That is the territory controlled by our army, and the enemy is chasing after the 2nd Army Corps on the ground, and we don't know the location and appearance time of our troops, so it is very difficult to surround us. There is no such thing as absolute safety on the battlefield, as long as we can knock down every enemy in front of us, we can get out of the battlefield alive. "Ding Kui needs to boost the morale of his subordinates.

"The third squad will follow Captain Ding, and you can fight wherever you tell us to. "Ji Xing is not ambiguous at such times.

Basically no one in the first squadron would raise a bar with Ding Kui, and some unconfident squad leaders and soldiers were appeased, and Ding Kui's subordinates were demoralized and determined to catch up with Meng's Ninth Army and kill them.

The second squadron next to Feng Liang heard the screams of the first squadron, and they all suspected that this group of guys had taken the wrong medicine.

The next day, the two cavalry brigades, which had entered the camp almost the same day yesterday, left the base camp together.

I don't know if it was negligence on the part of the staff or deliberate, but the military order did not specify who commanded the two brigades, and it was customary for them to go their separate ways.

The first brigade of the 211th Division was reluctant to go with Xue Chong's men, and sent someone to track them separately to find Meng's Ninth Army, so they ran in the other direction.

"Team Xue, it's not good for them to disperse their troops, they're jealous of you. "Ding Kui didn't quite understand the approach of the 211th Division Cavalry Brigade.

"Hehe, you're on the point, their captain is not as senior as me, according to common sense, he should listen to me, and I also fought in Huashan County, so we should obey my command when we act together. Xue Chong saw it more clearly.

"It's not necessarily better for them to run around like this than to follow you. Feng Liang didn't figure it out either.

"The credit for going to their own is all theirs, and I can only share the credit of helping, they have a lot of ideas about this mission. "Xue Chong couldn't tell these rookies.

If the two brigades win a battle together, the battle report is written by the commander, and whose credit is given has a lot to do with how the battle report is written. Since they belonged to two legions, it was natural for Xue Chong to write about how the other party assisted him, and minimized the credit of others. This cannot be blamed on Xue Chong's black family, but it is a common practice among the kingdom's armies that any commander must reap the best interests for his own legion.

"Let's go, we're afraid we'll lose to them if we go by ourselves? Strive to rush to Huashan County in two days, and learn the latest information from there first. After Xue Chong finished speaking, he took the lead and led the team straight to Huashan County.

Fan Yi continued to receive information sent back by Nan Wushuang, and kept chasing after Meng's Ninth Army. First, he didn't dare to send cavalry to chase after and entangle Meng's Ninth Army, for fear that the cavalry would be wiped out before the main force arrived; second, Meng's Ninth Army ran really fast, running all the way, robbing and burning all the way, specially creating obstacles for Fan Yi and them.

"Marshal, the 1st Legion of the 20th Army is only one day away from our army, and we have received a summons from the base camp that a cavalry brigade from each of the 21st and 22nd Legions has also rushed to assist our army in tracking down the 9th Army of Meng. The staff officer of the army reported to Fan Yi.
