Chapter 602: Captain of the Grain Transport Brigade

Helian Yu held a piece of information in his hand, and he was speechless for a long time after reading it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The one who sent this letter that can be called bad news was the unlucky Reyanna, and the silent and depressing atmosphere made her tired of taking a breath.

"Ordered Huang Fuzi to take full responsibility for negotiating with the Shaodian Army, to arrange for the return of Ma Pre's body to China as soon as possible, and to let the Navy arrange ships to immediately transfer the materials of Juyang City to Yanling County, and finally send the Third Army to Chunluwan Water Village. Helian Yu didn't scold Ma Yu like before, and the first thing he thought of was to collect the body for him.

"Yes. ā€

"Also, the herald Qi Shuang, Cao Qi's allied army returned to besiege Huatong City, and if it could be captured, it would be attacked, and if it could not be captured, it should be besieged first; let the Sixth Army withdraw to the Huatong Mine and stick there to leave a way back for the other troops; the Second Army Corps should strengthen the camp west of Nanqiu County and prepare for a long-term defense; and the Seventh Army will follow me to Jiecheng and set off tomorrow. ā€

Only then did Reanna move away, accustomed to Helian Yu sometimes ordering it to be said twice.

Jin Man came to Chunlu City and discussed his next move with Gu Jun.

"Lord Jiang has sent a military order, let us act cheaply, and it is best to take Nanqiu County. Jin Man handed Gu Jun a military order.

"What? Take Nanqiu County? Meng's Fourth Army was disabled by us, and Meng's Third Army was also abolished by half, but there are also second, sixth, seventh, ninth and thirteenth army corps, I heard that Cao Qi's allied army has 500,000 people also come to Nanqiu County, and our troops are still at a disadvantage, so it is not appropriate to attack Nanqiu County at this time. ā€

Gu Jun glanced at the military order, but did not accept it, and pushed it back to Jin Man.

"Well, Master Tan returned to the Eighth Legion, we still have you and Master Ming along the way, oh, and Ding Kui's personal soldiers, it is not difficult to capture a small city, and it is not enough to take down a heavily defended county town. Seeing that Gu Jun did not question his commanding position, Jin Man put away Jiang Xi's military order.

"Yes, let's take the small city first, the giant sheep city is already surrounded by our army, and we can send troops to take it at any time. ā€

"The Giant Sheep City can't be attacked, but it's good to fight and destroy some of the enemy's living forces, and if they can't capture it, they can be forced to destroy heavy equipment. ā€

Jin Man and Gu Jun reached a consensus.

Ding Kui was rectifying his subordinates, and Liang Chong came over and called him away.

"What's the situation?" asked Ding Kui.

"There's a military order from above, and your lord is looking for you to discuss. ā€

Zhang Jie, another captain, just send his own soldiers to invite, after all, it is a fearless knight Ding Kui's status is different, and he has to send a staff officer to invite.

When I came to Zhang Jie's barracks, I saw that Han Kai, the second captain, and Chen Chishi, the third captain, were already waiting in the room.

"Okay, everyone, let's talk to you. Fang just received a military order from Gu Shuai, ordering our division to send troops to escort a batch of ordnance and grain and grass from Qinglan City to the pass of Hump Mountain. In order to ensure that this batch of materials is delivered to the Hump Mountain Pass without fail, I decided to have Ding Kui as the commander,"

With a snap, Ding Kui stood up straight.

"Lead the first, second, and third brigades to escort. I went to Qinglan City to take over the supplies from the 220th Division Pan Staff Officer, and went to the Hump Mountain Pass ** to pay Liangchong, and if the military order was changed on the way, there were pro-soldiers or staff officers who held my token to announce. ā€

Zhang Jie handed Ding Kui half a token, which was used when receiving materials, because the delivery of the specified object did not need the token, if the delivery object changed, there would be a new token sent by a special person.

"What? My lord, my troops are seriously understaffed, and they are currently less than sixty percent of what they were when they were full, can such a heavy task be handed over to the brother troops?"

Don't think that you are the number one hero of the division and regiment, and if you don't obey the order, I will beat you like a board. Zhang Jie said with a dark face.

"Brigade Ding, half of your men and horses can also beat our two brigades, and we can also be considered thin and have military merits on this trip, so let's give us a drink of soup." Han Kai persuaded him.

"You've attacked the castle all the way, but we haven't done an inch, and it's not easy to transport food. "Chen Chishi spoke with a little thorn, and the third team has not had a chance to show his face.

Well, I think that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun have escorted grain and grass back then, and a generation of famous generals is still like this, not to mention that I am still a long way from a famous general.

Under the pressure of his superiors and colleagues, Ding Kui had no choice but to accept his fate, and when he was over, he comforted himself with the past of famous generals in the history of the earth.

"The attack on the 201st Division of Chunlu City is the last attack sequence, and if you want to attack Juyang City this time, you will simply throw us to the baggage battalion, who will I talk to? You are now the captain, and you will be the commander of the division in the future, and you will be in charge of the staff in the future, and you must think more about the overall situation in case of trouble.

The most important thing in the military is balance, and only with a balanced presence can unity be maintained to the greatest extent, and only by uniting can we defeat the enemy. If you have a temper, you can find the enemy to be angry, and you are far from good enough to convince your subordinates and allies at the same time. Zhang Jie left Ding Kui alone in training.

"My lord, my subordinates know that they are wrong. Ding Kui drooped his head, knowing that Zhang Jie was wholeheartedly good for him, and hoped that he could rise as soon as possible.

"I heard about the matter of Zhenbeiguan, the people who were dissatisfied with the Ding family in the military did not dare to show their faces before, but now they are a little unscrupulous, and they dare to leak such important military information to the enemy.

On the one hand, let the spy department investigate it carefully, and on the other hand, you should pay more attention to it in normal times, because the person who stabbed him in the back may come out at some point.

Once you find out that the ghost behind you will kill you, don't forget the royal gold medal order arrow in your hand, use it when you should use it. ā€

Zhang Jie gritted his teeth when he talked about the internal ghost, emphasizing the coping methods of being steady with one hand and ruthless with the other.

"Please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely find out who is behind the ghost. "Ding Kui is most afraid of the person behind him, and if he doesn't find out this person, he won't be able to sleep well.

In the past, he put the Jiaozhu in the space ring, but now he is wrapped in a purse and placed close to his body, although he has been promoted to the fearless knight, he still has to guard against a few poisons.

The military order was like a mountain, and when he returned to the camp, he picked up his men and horses, rushed to Port City overnight, and all of them changed horses and galloped to Qinglan City. Most of the war horses of the 21st Army stayed in Qinglan City, whether it was in the direction of Nanqiu County City or Juyang City, the cavalry troops were of little use.

The most powerful siege equipment of the Shaodian army is still a large catapult, and this long-distance siege weapon has two main disadvantages, the first is that it is inconvenient to move, and it must be fixed on the ground to exert its strong power, and it cannot be moved without dismantling the fixed device;

Catapults are more suitable for rocky mountains, such as Hump Hill and Kada City, which has long resisted enemy forces. After the Zhenbei Pass was conquered by the Shaodian army, Kada City became the rear, and the catapults dedicated to defending the city were useless.

The catapults transported from Kada City and Changyi County were uniformly sent to the Zhenbeiguan Daying, and as many as 100 catapults were arranged to be sent to Qinglancheng and other 201st Divisions.

Ding Kui couldn't help but sigh when he saw the 100 carts loaded with catapults: "Just according to the minimum number of operators, it would take a division to fiddle with these catapults." If you attack one point with a salvo, you won't be able to stand the magic shield of the tower mage. ā€

"Can Team D bear it?" Bai Qian said coldly.

"If you want to hit me on the head, I won't be able to bear it, but I'm not stupid, how can I stand in one place and be smashed without moving?" Ding Kui reached out to knock Bai Qian's head.

Bai Qian smiled and ran away.

"It's a squeamish thing that is afraid of both water and fire, and it's not easy to transport them. Han Kai is more worried about the weather.

If the rain is too heavy and the ground is muddy, the transport convoy will not be able to move, and it is necessary to prevent the rain from wetting the key parts of the catapult.

"Our three brigades take turns to guard these 100 carts, and it is easy to solve problems with grain, grass and craftsmen, but it is too time-consuming to replace catapults if they have problems. ā€

Ding Kui knew that the above meant to capture Giant Sheep City as soon as possible, the sooner these hundred catapults were sent to the front line, the better, and the military camp and city walls of Giant Sheep City could not resist such ferocious long-range firepower.

The escort brigade did not rest, and after receiving the convoy, it embarked on the return journey, but arranged for the soldiers to take turns to get on the car to rest, and they could reach the Hump Mountain Pass without stopping for a day and a night.

"The places where the Meng army is heavily defended along the way have been forcibly occupied by our army, and it stands to reason that there will not be a large number of enemy troops at the moment, is it necessary for us to escort them together? Chen Chishi disagreed.

"No, not long after Qinglan City and Port City were recovered, there are still a large number of Meng Jun spies hiding in remote villages and towns, if these people are entangled to contact the inner ghosts, they can take us by surprise.

They don't have to beat us, they just need to destroy the supplies that the convoy transports. It's not too far from the Hump Mountain Pass, just grit your teeth and insist on a day and a night. Ding Kui insisted on his opinion.

The commander-in-chief of the escort brigade is Ding Kui, and Chen Chishi can only choose to obey.

One day walked down without incident, and the convoy arrived safely in Port City.

The men who pulled the carts were local conscripts, and they could not march day and night like the regular army, but fortunately they could change a batch of laborers every time they passed through the city. If the military wants to pay for labor, each city will rush to send its own people, and the fat water will not flow into other people's fields.

Changing to the convoy of coachmen in Port City and continuing on the road, this time it was the turn of the 3rd Brigade to guard the catapults, and the 1st Brigade to rest.

"You can't relax your vigilance when you rest, and you can't say anything in the last stretch of the road, I think Chen Chishi is a little paralyzed and careless, everyone is tired and more responsible. Ding Kui secretly instructed the squadron leaders.

Marching overnight in territory under their control, lighting torches and oil lamps was allowed, lighting the roads increased the speed of the march, and the entire convoy was brightly lit, with most of the drivers and men carrying torches.

Ding Kui leaned on a grain cart and pretended to sleep, but his mental power was focused on the cart carrying the catapult.
