Chapter 123: Cloud Dragon Mist, Hunting Battle
Li Yunlong originally had a team of 3,000 cultivators under his command, but now, in the direct battle launched by the main force of the Sun Moon Empire, there are only 3,000 cultivators left. Even in the previous hour and a half, more than 700 of his frontline troops had died on the battlefield.
Li Yunlong felt the pressure on the battlefield suddenly drop, and couldn't help wondering: "What happened outside? Why is the Japanese offensive no longer so fierce?"
Then, Li Yunlong and Cao Dabiao were both confused and did not know the truth. However, on the battlefield, opportunities are fleeting.
At present, since Li Yunlong, Cao Dabiao and others are facing only 3,000 troops of the Sun-Moon Empire, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity for their First Battalion and the guards to launch a counterattack and retake the spiritual fortress previously occupied by the Fourth Brigade of the Sun-Moon Empire.
"Brothers, seize this opportunity and seize the spiritual mountains and hills occupied by the enemy!" Li Yunlong raised his arms and shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the 2,300 cultivators behind Li Yunlong roared and rushed towards the Fourth Brigade of the Sun-Moon Empire!
……
However, given the Sun Moon Empire's high vigilance against Cao Geng's tribe, they originally intended to lure more than a thousand cultivators from Cao Geng's side to fight, but ended up attracting more than two thousand cultivators to gather at the second battlefield. As a result, the pressure on Shen Quan and Li Yunlong's troops was naturally reduced.
The cultivators under Cao Geng felt unprecedented pressure at this moment. After several fierce spell battles and demon attacks, it was obvious that the three elite cultivator camps led by Cao Geng had less than 600 people and could not face the huge army of more than 2,000 demon soldiers.
Wei Xuanzi was covered in blood at the moment, like a demon from the underworld. After repelling a group of demon soldiers, he immediately came to Cao Geng and asked anxiously:
"Master, the Demon Tribe's Fourth Brigade is gathering its forces to launch a forceful attack on our newly established Tianshu Sect. If this continues, not only will we not be able to effectively contain the two thousand demon soldiers, I'm afraid even our guards will be dragged into it. So how should we respond now?"
At this moment, as Wei Xuanzi finished speaking, many cultivators around Cao Geng stared at him anxiously. For the New Tianshu Sect, the current situation was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable.
More than 2,000 demon soldiers were trying to destroy the defense line of more than 600 cultivators with overwhelming force. In the eyes of any cultivator, this was not a contest of balanced strength.
Cao Geng had just repelled the attack of a group of demon soldiers. Seeing the anxious expressions on Wei Xuanzi and others' faces, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Damn it, I never expected that the demons would dispatch a large group of demon soldiers to deal with our New Tianshu Sect."
"Under the pressure of such a powerful demon army, the strategy we previously adopted against the demons is obviously ineffective. We must re-plan our strategy."
Everyone looked at Cao Geng and asked, "Master, what's your plan?"
Cao Geng raised his lips slightly and replied: "The previous plan was for us to occupy the high ground, use the terrain advantage to defend the position against the demons, and launch endless spiritual attacks. However, now that the demons' military strength is far beyond the ordinary, we might as well give up the high ground and adopt another strategy."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around was stunned. After all, they had been able to hold out against the demons until now precisely because they occupied the advantageous terrain in this battlefield. Now, the clan leader actually proposed to give up the high ground, so how long could they hold out against more than 2,000 demon soldiers?
Cao Geng had already seen through everyone's confusion. He smiled calmly, "Who said we have to fight the demons head-on? Facing such a large number of enemies, we must not forget the fundamentals of being a cultivator - guerrilla tactics."
Guerrilla warfare!
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue!
This is the key to why cultivators can survive tenaciously and continue to grow and develop under the invasion of demons!
Hearing Cao Geng's proposal, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. "That's right, we can use guerrilla tactics to fight against the demon soldiers!" Wei Xuanzi and others clenched their fists excitedly.
It turned out that their previous thinking was wrong. In fact, their current task was only to contain the 4th Brigade of the Demon Clan, not to destroy it in one fell swoop. Simply defending the high ground and fighting a positional battle with the Demon Clan was a way to fight the Demon Clan to the death. If the opponent had only a thousand demon soldiers, perhaps the 600 monks of the New Tianshu Sect would not be afraid. But now, it is clear that guerrilla tactics are a more wise choice.
In the eyes of many cultivators, if the remaining hundreds of cultivators from the New Three Regiments want to challenge the more than 2,000 evil demon cultivators of the enemy army, what can they rely on to fight life and death with this huge army of evil cultivators in this dangerous world of cultivation?
They might as well choose to engage in agile fighting tactics with the evil cultivators of the demon clan.
In this way.
Even if the number of evil cultivators of the demon clan is as many as two thousand.
The new third regiment also showed no fear.
When the New Third Regiment successfully pins down this group of evil demon cultivators after two days and nights of fierce fighting, what difference does it make even if those evil cultivators do not suffer many casualties?
The New Third Regiment’s established goal in this battle has been achieved.
This is the glorious victory of the New Third Regiment.
Not to mention,
When the two sides are fighting, the New Third Regiment may have a chance to severely damage or even annihilate these two thousand evil demon cultivators!
"Next, monk, you will lead the 600 cultivators in your group and immediately split up and leave to engage in a guerrilla battle with the evil cultivators of the demon clan."
Immediately afterwards, Cao Geng gave orders directly to Monk Wei.
He gave the order without hesitation.
"Then, Commander, I will lead the troops out now. What are your plans?"
Monk Wei was a little surprised and didn't know where Captain Cao would go next.
Cao Geng smiled calmly: "As for me, it will remain the same. First, we must severely damage the command center of these two thousand evil demon cultivators, and then we must strike hard at their heavy and light magic weapon troops... As for you, I will no longer give you specific combat instructions during the guerrilla battle. You must act at your own discretion."
After all, the mission of the new regiment is to hold back the Demon Tribe's Fourth Brigade.
In Cao Geng's eyes,
Once he successfully destroyed the command center and heavy and light magic weapon units of these two thousand evil demon cultivators, then the six hundred disciples under his command would be enough to fight against the evil cultivators in this chaotic situation.
However, the subsequent tasks that Cao Geng still needed to complete were beyond the help of the 600 men of the New Third Regiment.
After destroying the command center and heavy and light magic weapon troops of the second battlefield, he also needs to move to the front line of the front battlefield where Li Yunlong, Shen Quan and others are located.
"As ordered!"
Upon hearing Cao Geng's words, Monk Wei immediately took the order and led his troops away without any hesitation.
Cao Geng, on the other hand, went alone and headed straight for the center of the demon clan’s more than 2,000 evil cultivators!
Target: The command center of the evil demon cultivators and their heavy and light magic weapon corps!
However, just as Cao Geng gave the order and took action.
On the other side, inside the headquarters of the 4th Brigade of the Demon Camp.
The intelligence officer said solemnly: "Commander, according to reconnaissance, the Eighth Route Army troops that attracted the support of one of our regiments on the flank battlefield originally had about 900 people. However, after a long period of fierce fighting, the Eighth Route Army's flank battlefield has been reduced to more than 500 people..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire 4th Brigade Headquarters fell into a brief silence.
Everyone present was horrified.
Just over nine hundred people!
After a fierce battle with thousands of demon soldiers, he even lured more than 2,000 demon soldiers into chasing him relentlessly...
