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

The ancestor said in a deep voice, "The Huaian Spirit Stone Mine was attacked, and the demon tribe will definitely send reinforcements to rescue Huaian City! Although we don't know what tribe those demon tribe reinforcements are from and how strong they are. But if they arrive before Cao Geng captures Huaian City, Cao Geng's three companies will be in danger."

In fact,

When Cao Geng led his troops to fight against the First Demon Legion, the Eight Desolate Army was no longer able to withdraw reinforcements to help Cao Geng.

Fortunately, during that fierce battle, Cao Geng was very resourceful and knew that he could not defeat the enemy, so he led his troops to withdraw from the battlefield.

now,

Huaian City appeared to be in an extremely weak state, so Cao Geng led three companies of the entire army to launch a surprise attack and capture Huaian City.

From the perspective of the founder and deputy leader of the Eight Desolate Army, Cao Geng's move was tantamount to putting the Third Company on the brink of life and death again.

In the previous battle with the First Demon Army, Cao Geng's Third Company tried to protect itself;

The master wanted to send his disciples to support Cao Geng, but he was afraid that the cost would outweigh the gain.

Therefore,

Even though the master was extremely reluctant to let Cao Geng take any risks, he could only motivate Cao Geng by promising him a generous reward: once he escaped safely, he would be appointed as the leader of the new third regiment.

Today, the crisis Cao Geng is facing is accompanied by huge opportunities.

Just as the Jinsui Cultivation Alliance conquered Huairong City, an important stronghold of the demon race,

The Eight Desolations Army also urgently needs to occupy a key strategic location guarded by the demon clan in order to break the deadlock for all Eight Desolations Army branches in northwest Shanxi.

The ancestor had discovered long ago that even the main force of the Jinsui Cultivation Alliance had seized Huairong City from the demon clan.

This strategic fortress is located in the core of northwest Shanxi.

After falling into the hands of the Jinsui Cultivation Alliance, its overall strength was greatly improved.

This will inevitably reshape the strategic layout of various Chinese cultivation forces in the northwest Shanxi region.

Not to mention, a large-scale mopping-up operation against the demon race is imminent.

If the Eight Desolate Army is unable to accumulate sufficient foundation before the demon clan launches a large-scale crackdown, the Eight Desolate Army will be in a worrying situation when facing the demon clan crackdown.

In addition, the Jinsui Cultivation Alliance is expanding rapidly, which has attracted the upcoming retaliatory sweep by the demon tribe...

This is undoubtedly a double pressure for the Eight Desolations Army Headquarters.

original,

The master was worried about how to deal with these two major events.

However, at this moment,

The city of Huai'an was extremely empty.

If the Eight Desolations Army can capture Huaian City in one fell swoop, it will not only resolve the obstacles to the future development of the Eight Desolations Army caused by the rapid expansion of the Jinsui Cultivation Alliance in northwestern Shanxi, but also help the Eight Desolations Army gain more room for maneuver in northwestern Shanxi before the large-scale purge of the demon clan comes.

It can be said that the pressure originally faced by the Eight Desolate Army came from both the Jinsui Cultivation Alliance and the demon clan.

However, if the Eighth Route Army of the Zixiao Sect could capture Huaian Immortal City when the demon clan was weak, then these two major problems would be solved.

Faced with this situation, the sect leader and the elders would naturally not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

not to mention,

According to the estimated time, the third training team led by Cao Geng will soon arrive at the vicinity of Huaian Immortal City.

Under such circumstances, considering the cultivation strength of both sides, it is not impossible for Cao Geng's third training team to capture Huaian Immortal City.

In other words, under such a situation, even if Cao Geng's third training team faced a life-and-death crisis in this siege, the Zixiao Sect headquarters would bear the huge pressure without hesitation and resolutely decide to send elite disciples to support Cao Geng's team!

The deputy sect leader took a deep breath and said firmly: "Sect Leader, how should we make the decision? Please give the order!"

At this moment, the sect leader and the deputy sect leader reached a consensus coincidentally.

The clan leader naturally knew that no matter how dangerous the situation was when Cao Geng attacked Huaian Fairy City this time, the headquarters would definitely mobilize troops to provide assistance.

So, there is no need to say anything more.

The sect master gave an order in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, order the disciples of our sect stationed around Huaian Immortal City to closely monitor the every move of the demon army around Huaian Immortal City!"

"When Cao Geng's Third Training Team attacks Huaian Immortal City, no demon reinforcements are allowed to infiltrate Huaian Immortal City!"

The sect leader knew very well that after a series of fierce battles, Cao Geng’s third training team was already a tired army.

If it were only based on Cao Geng's cultivation and the strength of the three battalions of disciples, it would indeed be possible to capture Huaian Immortal City in one fell swoop when it was in chaos.

However, what if the demon clan sent troops to reinforce Huaian Fairy City at this time?

In that case, if Cao Geng was forced to fight alone, it would undoubtedly be too cruel for Cao Geng's Third Training Team.

Finally, the clan leader shouted in a deep voice: "Last time, we failed to send help to help Cao Geng attack Tianyi Sect. We already feel guilty. Now Cao Geng has stepped forward to attack Huaian Immortal City. How can we leave him isolated and helpless again?"

"Those arrogant demons, Cao Geng's third training team is also part of Zixiao Sect. If they send reinforcements when Cao Geng attacks Huaian Immortal City... no matter how many there are, the rest of our sect's disciples will do their best to resist them!"

"As for Cao Geng's troops, they only need to concentrate on dealing with the enemies in Huaian Immortal City!"

Upon hearing the sect leader's order, the deputy sect leader immediately agreed and quickly conveyed the order and left.

In this battle, if the demon clan really dares to send reinforcements, whether it is the independent regiment commanded by Ding Wei around Huaian Fairy City, or the 772nd Regiment commanded by Blind Cheng, they will join the battlefield without hesitation.

By then, to what extent the war between Zixiao Sect and the demon race will expand, the key does not lie in how many soldiers and horses the Zixiao Sect has available, but in how many reinforcements the demon race can gather to defend Huaian Immortal City!

of course,

Cao Geng was still unaware that his advance into Huaian Fairy City would trigger a large-scale conflict between the Eighth Route Army and the demon tribe that would affect the entire northwest region of Shanxi.

Now, he leads the monks of the third training team with only one goal in mind - Huaian Immortal City!

just,

Just as Cao Geng led his training army to attack Huaian Immortal City.

In Yan'an, Zhao Gang, an outstanding student of Yan University, also received a mysterious order, stating that the New 1st Regiment headed by Ding Wei-neng was in urgent need of a political commissar who understood the way of cultivation.

This trip was a joint decision made by the Yan'an Holy Land and the Daxiawan Wonderland for Zhao Gang to take on the important task of being the political commissar of the independent regiment.

At this moment, he has embarked on a journey to the northwest of Shanxi, a land with intertwined spiritual veins.

……

At the same time, after receiving the imperial edict from the headquarters, the leader of the 772nd Regiment, Blind Cheng, suddenly widened his eyes in shock.

"Oh my god, the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment actually attacked Huaian Immortal City and asked our troops to pay close attention to any unusual movements around it?"

Blind Cheng felt that the prestige of Cao Geng, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the New 1st Regiment, was so high that the headquarters personally ordered his 772nd Regiment to provide flank support when the 3rd Battalion of the New 1st Regiment attacked Huaian Fairy City.

However, Cheng Xiazi, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 386th Brigade, had naturally heard about the division of the New 1st Regiment, especially the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the New 1st Regiment, Cao Geng, who had made great military achievements.

Therefore, although Blind Cheng found the order issued by the headquarters incredible, he still followed it without hesitation.

He was full of curiosity about Cao Geng.

Now that he finally had the chance to see Cao Geng in person, he naturally paid close attention to the matter.

At this time, the head of the independent regiment, Ding Wei, also received a similar decree.

But unlike Blind Cheng, Ding Wei's expression immediately became excited after hearing the news.

"Are we finally going to attack Huaian Immortal City? Once this battle is victorious, our Eighth Route Army will have greater strategic room for maneuver in the face of the forces of cultivation in the entire northwest Shanxi region!"

Ding Wei is worthy of being the only tactical genius among the iron triangle of northwestern Shanxi.

From the moment he received the edict from the headquarters, he was able to see the overall situation from the small things, and immediately understood the significance of the battle to capture Huaian Immortal City for the Eighth Route Army monks in the entire northwest Shanxi region.

Even if he, a general, was asked to assist Cao Geng, who was only a battalion commander, in carrying out military operations, he would gladly accept the order as long as the battle was beneficial to the Eighth Route Army.
