Chapter 1016 Advantages of Local Operations
"Complete the establishment of the 11th and 12th Army Corps as soon as possible, and drive away the invading army of our country as soon as possible, so that we can support the war on the Western Front as soon as possible. The troops in the Nanzhaozhou Theater can completely break the status quo of the Zhongwangzhou Theater." Wang Deng persuaded with earnest words.
.
"Young people should be careful!" Gongsunjie said with his seniority, "The largest family in the kingdom is rebelling, and the second largest family has an ambiguous attitude. In the final analysis, this is an internal struggle in our country. Who can you guarantee will be absolutely loyal to the court? Commander Ruo Jiang
Are you responsible for the misuse of a rebellious spy?"
In the areas controlled by the rebels, there were people who were loyal to the imperial court, and in the areas controlled by the imperial army, there were also people who identified with the rebels. They were all Shaodian people and it was hard to tell them apart on the surface.
In fact, in troubled times, each major family has its own small calculations. Controlling military power is a very important matter. Even if the commanders are not fighting for a division commander for their own family, they may come forward because of other people's entrustment.
Every family has its own common interest groups.
Jiang Xi, who was in Yangyuan Prefecture, naturally understood that he had just met with Long Yuan, who had secretly visited him yesterday, and decided on twenty candidates for the captaincy. Today, he will supervise an army of 20,000 to escort grain and grass southward.
Among these captains were people Ding Kui knew, Long Shuang and Dai Le.
Needless to say, Long Shuang, Long Yuan forced his grandson into the 11th Legion. He was not qualified to be the division commander, but with the strength of the fearless knight, he was more than enough to be a captain.
Dai Le was only a shield-breaking knight in the later period, but he had served in the Thirteenth Legion. He was injured when he crossed the river to attack Cao State, and did not follow the Thirteenth Legion to Zhongwangzhou. After recovering from the injury, he happened to meet Jiang Xilai to form the Eleventh Legion. With his military exploits and
Become a captain due to your reputation among recruits.
The two of them belong to two factions: sons of powerful men and civilians. They have their own peaks in the group of mid-level officers, and they usually look at each other with displeasure.
There is no unified command for these 20,000 people. Each captain has personal military orders from Jiang Xi, so they are divided into 20 convoys, each going their own way and not under each other.
Jiang Xi had no choice but to take back his authority to appoint division commanders, so he had no choice but to forcefully use his authority to appoint brigade captains to transport a batch of supplies to Nanzhao Prefecture as soon as possible, so as not to waste time in Yangyuan Prefecture.
However, this group of troops will not be able to reach Nanqiu County in the short term, and will not be able to improve the current predicament Ding Kui is facing.
Ding Kui is not afraid of his country's army attacking the city for the time being, but his country's magicians give him a headache. The total number of magicians from Hengfu City plus the 71st Division is less than a hundred. Now there are 400 people from his country gathered outside the port city.
Multiple magicians.
The battle in the north of the city was obviously the result of Banda using more than a hundred magicians to entangle Ding Kui and Ding Kun, thereby weakening the numerical advantage of Shaodian's sixth-level warriors in disguise.
"Return to the city, don't bother with them!" Ding Kui felt that it was pointless to continue fighting like this, as it would be a waste of energy if the enemy could not be killed.
"Stop chasing. Without the ground troops to keep up, our forbidden spells are in vain." Xia Fan was a little confused. This was neither an siege nor a defense camp. All high-end combat forces were actually deployed. The battle in the north of the city was incomprehensible.
white.
Ban Tu glanced at Lang Chun. When he came, he only saw Lang Chun dueling with the great archer on the opposite side.
At this moment, Lang Chun's anger subsided a little, and he knew that the fight would not hurt General Shi. There were four masters on the opposite side, and he might be the one to suffer if he was not careful, so he said: "Okay, thank you two masters for helping me."
.”
The elemental giants dissipated, and the masters of our country retreated to the military camp.
When the sky darkened, our army had fully withdrawn its troops and returned to camp. The tunnels dug on three sides had entered within a thousand steps of the city wall. Due to sufficient preparation, the number of casualties could be ignored.
The powerful crossbow has limited damage to targets a thousand steps away. It cannot shoot through wooden boards and sand bags, and cannot stop the advance of one's own army.
"I will arrange for my men to go out to fight in the city. Sooner or later the enemy will be able to advance to where they attack the city wall, and our casualties will increase significantly." Dong Ba was not used to defending the city.
"It doesn't matter, after another day of delay, the situation is becoming more and more favorable to us. Reinforcements will continue to arrive. Now Sancha Town can hold out longer than us. There is no need to go out of the city to fight for the time being." Ding Kui received the message.
Ao Yan sent a few messages, which gave me a better understanding of the situation outside.
There are about 15,000 people in the Red Army and the 71st Division to protect the country. There are sufficient troops to defend the city, and they have sharp weapons such as crossbows. It will not be a problem to defend the city for half a month.
Our own army was more patient than Ding Kui imagined. They did not launch an attack all night and continued to dig tunnels the next morning.
However, the military camp in the south of the city changed its flag and became the 26th and 27th Divisions of the Third Northern Army, and all the original local armies were transferred to the camp in the east of the city.
The number of wooden plank walls and wells put into the siege doubled, and the excavation speed of tunnels was also much faster.
Near noon, the tunnel closest to the city wall in the east of the city was less than 500 steps away. Several wooden plank walls were lined up on higher ground facing the city wall. The magician in charge of the lookout saw thousands of archers hiding behind the wooden plank wall.
The progress of the siege in the other two directions was similar. Our own army built an archer position against the trebuchet attack. The archers used the tunnels to enter the position, completely ignoring the attack on the city.
The special operations battalion used fire attacks to destroy the wooden wall position, but the number of oil tanks was limited, and the fire was extinguished by our own troops before it burned for long.
Ding Kui ran to the south of the city to watch the battle. There were crossbowmen on the other two walls, so they were not afraid of shooting at his own troops. The defenders here were all knights and did not have fine armor to protect them, which made him more worried.
"It's okay, let the enemy struggle, I will stay still and wait until the enemy climbs up the city wall to show them off." Dong Ba knew what Ding Kui was thinking.
"Isn't this our country's elite army below? I want to see how they surrender in front of the 71st Division." Ding Kui came here for other purposes.
After our army took a short rest at noon, archers, trebuchets, infantry and other arms launched a fierce attack on the port city.
The fastest infantry to rush to the city was from the south. The defenders' counterattack was painless and did not use the expected powerful crossbows.
"Master Tan, I'll go with you to entangle those two people." Ding Kui pointed at Haotong and Biyan Mask in the sky above the enemy camp.
"Let's go!" Tan Shang rushed out with Ding Kui.
Haotong and Biyan Mask immediately engage in battle. If they don't take action, the troops attacking the city will suffer heavy losses.
The four of them started a fierce fight in the air, and the fight was inextricable.
Some soldiers climbed up the city wall and began to engage in close combat with the defenders. Only then did they feel the powerful combat effectiveness of the 71st Division.
The archers on the twelve wells hurriedly attacked the defenders who popped up on the city wall, trying to help the infantry establish a few footholds.
Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, and a young woman appeared in the sky above the well, and a ball of white light fell down involuntarily.
Boom, white light exploded among the archers, and the center of the explosion produced a powerful attraction that sucked up all the surrounding air.
Vacuum explosion, level four air magic.
It turns out that Ao Yan suddenly arrived, and Haotong and Biyan Mask had no time to call for help.
There were magicians from the 26th and 27th divisions raiding the formation. At this moment, they reacted and stepped forward to stop Ao Yan. Unexpectedly, they flew towards a group of magicians from the west and took the lead in attacking their own troops on the ground.
Biyan Mask quickly shot out the magic light bullet, and then cursed: "Ding Kui, what else will you do besides ambush and sneak attack!"
"Are you surprised that someone came to help me? Invaders must have the consciousness of invaders! You are under the Shaodian country, and you should always be on guard against counterattacks from the Shaodian people. This is just the beginning." Ding Kui knew what he was doing.
Ao Yan informed him last night that the magician group organized by Dongxing County would cross the swamp and come to the south of Port City this morning.
In the morning, he arranged for Ao Yan to pick up the magician group, and then waited for his signal to enter the battlefield.
This was the main reason why Ding Kui had to come to the south of the city to watch the battle.
"Hahaha, our country's magicians can't stand foreign aggression the most, and you are finally here." Tan Shang finally greeted the magicians from Dongxing County.
The backbone of the Dongxing County Magic Guild is stationed in Zhuoshui Town all year round. Their combat effectiveness ranks first among the counties in Nanzhao Prefecture. This time, almost all the elites were transferred to Nanqiu County, with a total of two hundred combat magicians.
Their coming to Nanqiu County has something to do with Gongliang. Tian Man is in charge of the Zhuoshui Town Magic Tower. Tian Man and Huan Qiao are brothers. The first place the magician from Dongxing County needs to help is of course in the direction of Hengfu City.
Ao Yan dealt with the wells with ease. In her eyes, the twelve wells were no different than paper. In other words, twelve intermediate spells were cast. When Xia Fan arrived, all the wells in the south of the city had been destroyed.
destroy.
Phew, another magic light bullet was launched into the sky, and Xia Fan found that he couldn't control the situation even though he came over.
The magicians from Dongxing County were about to reach the archer position. The magicians from the 26th and 27th Divisions were retreating steadily, losing both in terms of numbers and strength.
"Senior Tan, we can also call people!" Ding Kui's confidence greatly increased.
The two hundred new magicians are too important, and Ding Kui is not afraid to focus on high-end combat power to fight head-on.
The key is that Shaodian Kingdom's reinforcements are not limited to Dongxing County. Magicians from Tunchang County and Pingfu County also entered the Eighth Army's camp outside Sancha Town at noon.
Band Tu and Lang Chun came to the south of the city one after another, and Ding Kun and Ao Yu also came to help. General Shi stayed in the north of the city to fight against the magicians of his own army's 21st and 22nd divisions. The masters in the south of the city were exactly five against five.
Our country was still at a disadvantage, so Yudi had to transfer all the magicians in the east of the city to the south of the city. Seeing this, Huan Qiao also moved the magicians in the city.
The commotion in the south of the city is getting louder and louder. It has completely surpassed yesterday's battle in the north of the city. The six-level combatants are five against five, and the magician group is four hundred from one's own country versus three hundred from Shaodian's country.
Our own ground troops retreated to safe areas one after another, and the defenders on the city wall hid behind bunkers. The energy battle that erupted in the sky could tear anyone involved into pieces at any time. People who can't fly had better stay away from this area.
"Everyone, work harder and defeat them. Then we can go to Sancha Town to meet the Eighth Army. The days when the Japanese invaders are running wild on our territory are numbered!" Ding Kui rushed left and right in the center of the battlefield, cheering up his companions from time to time.
Chapter completed!
