Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

However, Cao Geng knew very well that if he decided to lead his troops to Ping'an Fairyland City and use the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao to rescue Xiaweidi Village, then Xiaweidi Village would have to hold out for a full twenty-four hours under the control of a fairy brigade of Japanese pirates!

At this moment, Cao Geng’s location is still far away from Ping’an Fairyland City. If he wants to rush to Ping’an Fairyland City from his current location, even if he bypasses Huairong Fairyland City, it will still take half a day!

The round trip took them twelve hours. The actual time left for them to attack Ping An Xianyu City was only twelve hours!

With the power of one battalion, they were trying to take over a fairyland city occupied by Japanese pirates. Twelve hours was an extremely severe battle time limit for Cao Geng and his party. Once this news spread, everyone would think that Cao Geng had gone crazy - with only one battalion of cultivation, he actually tried to seize a fairyland city occupied by Japanese pirates in just twelve hours.

Cao Geng was probably just wishful thinking. However, at this moment, they could no longer fight with the Japanese pirates!

Because Xiaweidi Village was in a critical situation, the strength of an entire immortal brigade was like a mountain pressing down on it.

In order to save Weidi Village from the dire straits, they have to capture Ping'an Fairyland City within twelve hours to succeed!

However, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge for all the soldiers in the triple spiritual camp under Cao Geng...

For the defense force of Xiaweidi Village, this was undoubtedly a purgatory-level test. Facing the fierce offensive of the entire Japanese brigade, Xiaweidi Village had only one company of monks guarding it. To hold out for a whole day and night under such circumstances seemed to be challenging the impossible.

However, when Cao Geng and his followers were unable to directly rescue Xiaweidi Village, they chose to besiege Ping'an County to save Xiaweidi Village from danger. This was the most promising strategy they had to save Xiaweidi Village from crisis!

If they want to keep all the garrison disciples of Xiaweidi Village alive, they have to hold on for those crucial twenty-four hours!

Cao Geng's eyes flashed with coldness. "However, if we can capture Ping'an County in one fell swoop, then the Japanese invaders in this brigade will be trapped like turtles in a jar, and we can do whatever we want with them."

He held a grudge against the enemy and knew that once he occupied Ping'an County, his troops would be able to obtain a large amount of training materials and magic weapons and equipment. As long as they were allowed to recuperate in Ping'an County,

Let alone a Japanese brigade, even if the other side assembled a division, Cao Geng would at all costs gradually erode and eliminate these Japanese invaders who attempted to occupy their third battalion’s base until they were completely destroyed.

When Cao Geng finished speaking, the company commanders instantly understood his intention. Then, they all took a deep breath.

"Mr. Ying, since you have made a plan, please give the order!" At this moment, their eyes were extremely determined.

Many company commanders of the Third Battalion were not afraid of death. They were more worried that their colleagues would die in vain under the Japanese invaders' cavalry. Now that the battalion commander had a good plan, there was no doubt that they would resolutely execute the order! Moreover, the battalion commander's tactic might be their last chance to save the station.

Kong Jie was also inspired by the morale of the Third Battalion, and a surge of anger surged in his heart, wanting to tear the Japanese invaders apart. "Captain, please give the order," he said in a deep voice.

Cao Geng looked around at everyone, the hatred in his eyes became even more intense. He took a deep breath and said, "In this case, everyone, take action immediately!"

"Sun Desheng, you lead the cavalry company and set off first!"

"The rest of you follow me, and the main force will follow closely behind!"

"Within six hours, all of us must arrive at Ping'an County! Those who fail to arrive within the deadline will be punished according to military law!"

"Once all the troops of our Third Battalion have been assembled, we must not waste a moment and immediately launch a full-scale offensive against Ping'an County!"

Cao Geng knew that there was no other choice but to attack Ping'an County. Therefore, every second counted and he had to mobilize the disciples of the Third Battalion to take action as soon as possible.

At the same time, during their actions, Cao Geng also conveyed instructions to the monks of the fifth company who were defending Xiaweidi Village, warning them that they must resist the attack of the entire Japanese brigade and hold out for at least 24 hours. Of course, if it is really difficult to hold out, it is not unforgivable, after all, the other side has sent a whole brigade of elite troops. If the Japanese invaders go all out, it is still doubtful whether Xiaweidi Village can hold out for two hours...

If the third battalion's position is lost, it will be doomed.

Cao Geng also made it clear to all the generals and soldiers.

If the three battalion garrisons could hold off the attack of the ghost brigade for twelve hours, Cao Geng vowed that within the next three days, he would personally annihilate the entire ghost brigade!

In short, Cao Geng has made up his mind to fight to the death with the Traveling Ghost Clan.

Immediately, Cao Geng and his soldiers deployed their operations.

At this moment, he used the messenger to convey the strategic decision that the army had just made to the garrison troops still defending the village of Xiaweidi.

The leader of the defenders of Xiaweidi village was the captain of the fifth company.

After learning of Cao Geng's decision, the captain of the fifth company did not say much, but his face was filled with an unyielding murderous aura.

The captain of the fifth company was well aware and fully understood that Cao Geng was unable to lead his troops to the rescue in person.

As members of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment, the courage in them has long surpassed that of the soldiers in ordinary troops.

Now, although the Fifth Company is surrounded by heavy enemies, why should they fear death?

What's more, the battalion commander was trying his best to rescue them outside.

Under such circumstances, their mission was to follow the battalion commander's instructions and hold their position.

Even if he couldn't hold out for twenty-four hours, even if the fifth company of the third battalion was drained of its last drop of blood, he would make his soldiers hold back the entire Traveling Ghost Tribe and keep them here for a full twelve hours!

......

Naturally, when all the defenders of the Third Battalion received the news of Cao Geng's determination, everyone showed their firm will to face death.

Cao Geng led his troops and rushed to Ping'an County.

However, what Cao Geng did not know was that the fact that he led his troops to blow up the Zhengtai Railway and captured more than 200 high-ranking ghost generals had quickly swept through the entire ghost camp like a storm!

This news caused an uproar in northwest Shanxi, and it only took the time of one transmission to spread from northwest Shanxi to Taiyuan.

Upon hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio was horrified and blurted out:

“How can this be?”

"The Chinese side actually mobilized a large number of troops to destroy the Zhengtai Railway and blew up a train carrying more than 200 of our senior generals to Ping'an County???"
