Chapter 603: The transport convoy is attacked
There was a forest in front of the transport convoy, and Ding Kui or Han Kai would send scouts to take a look in advance to ensure that there would be no enemy ambushing in the woods, but Chen Chishi didn't take it to heart, thinking that there was no need for his subordinates to drill into the woods at night, just guard the convoy.

Two squadrons opened the way in front, a hundred trebuchets followed closely behind, followed by hundreds of large and small board trucks.
Chen Chishi led a team of men and horses to walk in the middle of the convoy, which could support the front and rear ends at any time. When the cavalry passed through the woods, he clenched the star-picking scythe in his hand, and if there was really an ambush, he could come forward to support him as soon as possible.
There was no movement, no sound in the woods.
The trebuchet convoy began to pass through the woods, but there was still no movement, and there seemed to be nothing in the woods, just as Chen Chishi had thought.
The middle of the transport convoy entered the woods, and most of the trebuchet convoy had already left the woods, Chen Chishi let go of his grip on the Scythe of Flying Stars, and his gaze swept towards the woods swaying in the firelight.
Suddenly, Ding Kui, who was lying on the grain cart, sat up suddenly.
Chen Chishi also found that something was wrong, and pricked up his ears to listen.
If there is a call in the distance and there is no nearby, it means that there may be someone in the woods!
"Shoot!" a grim voice echoed through the woods.
Whoosh, countless black dots dilated in the pupils of the Shaodian Army, and sharp arrows rushed towards him with a deadly roar.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
The young officers at all levels who noticed that someone was sneaking up shouted, but the first to shout was Ding Kui, and Chen Chishi's reaction was obviously slower.
The two squadrons that had come out of the woods heard that something was going on behind them, and immediately turned their horses' heads, twitched their horses and spurred them to gallop back into the woods, picking them from the weapons racks as they ran.
The first wave of sneak attacks knocked down dozens of people, including soldiers protecting the convoy, men pulling carts, and accompanying craftsmen.
Chen Chishi was also almost shot, at least a dozen arrows were shot at him, if he hadn't been experienced and found out the wrong way in advance, he would have been able to protect his horse and be hit by arrows.
The second wave of arrows was quickly fired, this time mostly horses pulling carts, and there were not many people in the woods, but judging by the density of the arrows, there were about a hundred people on each side.
"Dismount and enter the woods!" Chen Chishi turned the Star-Picking Flying Fire Scythe to block the arrows, and ordered his subordinates to attack the woods.
Ding Kui forcibly resisted the urge to throw out the blazing light bullets, pulled out the "Moon Fall", and shouted: "Ding Kui's squadron protects the trebuchet, and Feng Liang takes the others to guard the grain truck." After shouting, he jumped up from the grain cart and jumped onto the trebuchet in front.
At this time, the sudden change broke out again, and there was a riot in the convoy of trebuchets, some of the people pulled out their daggers and stabbed the people around them, and some of the people pierced their water bags and threw them on the board carts.
In addition to the two horses that pull the cart, each cart is equipped with three or four people, and the people can put on the rope sleeve to help pull the car when passing through the rough road, and the people can also help load and unload the car when the board car is broken.
Now it is the enemy who is hiding among the people, intending to destroy and burn the most important material of the transport convoy, the trebuchet.
A red light flew by, and a spy who was about to throw a torch at the trebuchet was cut in two, and Ding Kui quickly jumped over the trebuchet.
A spy had just stabbed a dagger into a man's vest when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a bloody hand with blue light pierced through his chest, and then the sky spun around, and his body was thrown to the side of the road.
The bloody hand's five-fingered missile, five mini little green dragons shot out, and a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the owner of the bloody hand.
Ding Kui's squadron is now less than a hundred people, but with the dreadnought knight Ding Kui and the great martial artist Ao Yu, it is more than enough to protect a hundred trebuchets.
Some of the officers and men of the 3rd Brigade engaged the enemy in the woods, and some people kept screaming and falling to the ground, both their own and the enemy. The torches that fell to the ground illuminated the enemy in the darkness, and the sneak attackers began to drop their bows and arrows, drawing their weapons and facing the Shaodian army.
Feng Liang rushed to a grain truck with "moss marks" in his hand, and looked vigilantly at the people next to him, one of whom had a dodge of his eyes, deliberately avoiding his gaze, and turned his body to the side.
"You," Feng Liang pointed to the man, "show me the water bag." "Tell the man to take out the water bag hidden behind him.
The man put on a smile and took out the water bag, and instead of handing it to Feng Liang, he pulled out the plug and took a sip, indicating that it was indeed water inside.
"Give it to me!" said Feng Liang without disobedience.
The man snatched the torch from the hand of the man next to him, and opened his mouth to spray at Feng Liang.
Poof, whew, a ball of flame rushed towards Fengliang.
The sword light stirred, the fire dissipated, and a line of blood appeared on the man's neck. Feng Liang was a little dim under Ding Kui's light, but his strength was comparable to that of a captain-level officer, and a mere spy couldn't bargain in his hands.
Of course, not all the spies missed, three or four grain carts were set on fire in the chaos, Ding Kui's subordinates didn't have time to take care of every cart, the people of the third brigade basically rushed into the woods, and the second brigade was all behind before entering the woods.
Several of the carts carrying the trebuchets caught fire, but they were quickly extinguished. Ao Yu was flying in the air, Ding Kui was jumping around on the roof of the car, others were calming frightened horses, some were searching the shivering people, some were picking up torches scattered on the ground and throwing them on both sides of the road, and some were holding weapons on guard.
The sound of fighting in the woods gradually stopped, and there were not many spies in the sneak attack on the transport team, and the third brigade went all out to kill and quickly controlled the situation.
"Captain Chen, arrange for some people to pursue, and the rest continue to hurry, Captain Han counts the losses, sends someone to notify Port City and leave a few people to guard the scene. Ding Kui jumped back on his horse and ran to the middle of the convoy to command.
Chen Chishi said with a ashamed face: "It was all my negligence, which almost caused a big mistake, and let them run away with more than a dozen people." ”
"There's nothing wrong with being sneak attacked, it's a big mistake not being able to escort a convoy to the front on time. The dead and wounded men will send your men to the top, and the march must not slow down. ”
Ding Kui suppressed the anger in his heart, did not blame Chen Chishi for his mistakes for the time being, and first stabilized the army's heart to ensure that the task could be completed smoothly.
It's not terrible to have spies in the convoy, as long as each car is guarded by one or two people and vigilant enough, spies can't be attacked. If you send scouts to check before passing through the woods, you will definitely find the people who are ambushed inside, and there will be deaths and injuries when you clear them, but they must not be as many as they are now.
"I sent two squadrons to guard the grain carts, and the trebuchet was handed over to Captain Ding. Han Kai saw that the third brigade was going to divide the troops and pull the carts, and the strength of the guards must be insufficient, so he took the initiative to send troops to help.
"That's fine, my brigade is in charge of opening the way and guarding the trebuchet, everyone hold on, and it will be a victory to survive this night. Ding Kui didn't want his subordinates to rest, in case there would be problems on the road ahead.
Ding Kui walked to the front of the transport convoy.
"Li Hao. ”
"In. ”
"You lead a few people to the place where there may be an ambush in front of you to take a look, and come back quickly to report what is going on. ”
"Yes!"
Feng Liang immediately stepped forward to parallel with Ding Kui and asked, "How do you write tonight's report?"
Ding Kui didn't answer immediately, pinched his chin for a while, and said, "Senior brother, help me write." ”
"Count me as talkative. Feng Liang struck his helmet with his horsewhip in annoyance.
"Why didn't there be any personnel from the Judge Advocate Advocate General's Department this time? More than two brigades were on duty, and there should be people from the Department of Military Justice supervising military discipline for such a cross-establishment command operation like mine. ”
Ding Kui found out that there was no one to supervise, most of his actions in the past were less than the size of two brigades, and when he acted with the division, he was not monitored, and he had long forgotten the existence of people from the Ministry of Military Justice.
"We are a newly built unit, and the Judge Advocate General's Department did not have time to arrange enough manpower, and we set out after we assembled, and there were only three Judge Advocate General's supervisors in a division, and they all followed Master Zhang.
This time, we went to the rear to escort the baggage, which belonged to a relatively low level of supervision in the eyes of the Ministry of Justice Justice, and it was estimated that we couldn't look down on it, so no one followed. Only actions with a higher risk of violating military orders deserve their attention. ”
Feng Liang felt that he could only get back the feeling of a senior brother at this time, and he was becoming more and more like a subordinate in front of Ding Kui.
"I don't have to think about how to write the report when there is supervision, and that Chen Chishi doesn't dare to be negligent, it seems that there is not all about supervision. Ding Kui found that he had been ignoring the problem.
"The five departments of the Commander's Mansion have not changed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so naturally there is a reason for their existence, didn't the teacher tell you?"
"As I said, it may be that the people in my family have never taken the Judge Advocate General's Office seriously, so I don't remember it at all. ”
There are really not many people in the Ding family who will take the Ministry of Military Justice seriously, and Ding Cai once hid in Tibet under the pursuit of the Ministry of Military Justice, and in the eyes of others, the commander's orders are much greater than those of military law, and Ding Kui has been used to it since he was a child.
"The people of the Judge Advocate General's Department specialize in military law, and they have a very good set of people, so don't clash with them if you don't have to, we are subject to them in the army. At least he had to reach the level of the commander of the legion to be qualified to negotiate terms with them, and even Lord Zhang couldn't protect his subordinates and himself. "What Feng Liang learns is the standard orthodox experience.
"Well, don't worry, there are a lot of people who are secretly staring at me, and I won't make trouble for myself. Ding Kui said he was taught.
Now no one thinks that escorting baggage is an idle errand, and the people of the three brigades are all boiling to the red-eyed, and they will send people to check it several times if there is any trouble.
Finally, at dawn, he ran into the patrol of his own division, and the transport convoy entered the boundary of Hump Mountain.
Two flatbed carts carrying trebuchets side by side can just pass through the pass gate, and it is estimated that the opening hole was opened according to the size of the flatbed truck when the pass was built.
Liang Chong and the 4th, 5th, and 6th Brigades received the convoy at the barracks in the pass, and they would continue to escort the convoy to the front line.
"Did the Meng army blocking the pass withdraw?" Ding Kui asked at the handover.
"The morning after you left, Gu Shuai personally led the army to seize the crossing of the Chunlu River, and the Meng army was forced to withdraw to the camp of Juyang City. Liang replied.
Ding Kui blinked and asked, "Can we catch up with the attack on Giant Sheep City?"
