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

At this moment, the decree just issued by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters had not yet reached Cao Geng's ears, and he was still leading his troops at a gallop.

now,

In Huaian Immortal City, both the command hall and the secret warehouse of spiritual weapons have been quietly destroyed by the elite Qianlong troops under Cao Geng.

In Cao Geng's eyes, the matter of capturing Huaian Fairy City as soon as possible was as simple as that. It had to be shot.

In the blink of an eye, they were about to arrive at Huaian Fairy City.

At this time, Wang Huaibao walked up to Cao Geng.

"Battalion commander, no, regimental commander... When our army attacks Huaian Immortal City, how should we formulate a combat strategy for cultivators?" Wang Huaibao looked at Cao Geng with reverence.

At this moment, Wang Huaibao's blood was boiling.

Not only that, Wang Huaibao was not the only one who was extremely excited.

The monks of the entire Third Battalion were filled with great fighting spirit and passion.

After all, after following Cao Geng to successfully repel the battle at Ping'an Forest Farm, the monks of the entire Third Battalion had already learned the latest instructions from the headquarters.

“If the Camp Master Cao Geng can lead the Third Battalion to evacuate safely in the battle of Lingyou Forest, then the headquarters will confer the title of the Camp Master of the Third Battalion of the New Sect to Cao Geng as the new leader of the Three Sects!”

Now, their Third Battalion has safely escaped from the battle in Lingyou Forest.

Does this indicate that

From now on,

Will their new third battalion be promoted to the new third sect?

After hearing the news, Wang Huaibao thought to himself more than once:

Their New 1st Battalion 3 has been promoted to New 3rd Battalion.

That Ying Zun will be promoted to the lord of the clan.

Then, wouldn't he, the deputy battalion master, also become the deputy leader of the new three sects?

Having devoted himself to the cultivation world for more than ten years, Wang Huaibao has never had the opportunity to be promoted to deputy sect leader.

How could he remain calm after such a sudden change?

Cao Geng naturally also noticed the joy on Wang Huaibao's face.

He understood that Wang Huaibao was about to be promoted to deputy leader.

He was sincerely delighted about this.

At the same time, he also knew that

Throughout the entire third camp, the mood of many monks was similar to that of Wang Huaibao.

The third battalion of the Xinyi Sect is about to be promoted to a sect-level force.

This is undoubtedly good news for every monk in the Third Battalion.

Therefore, they were all delighted.

In the third camp, perhaps only Cao Geng, the camp leader, could remain calm.

At this moment, facing Wang Huaibao's question, Cao Geng just smiled calmly:

"In fact, before we set foot in Huaian City, the city was already in turmoil."

"Even though there are only about 1,100 monks left in our New Three Sects, we are still a force that is enough to easily overthrow the rule of Huaian City, which is currently in civil strife!"

This is not Cao Geng's arrogance.

Once the command center of the cultivation force in any era is destroyed, no matter how powerful it was before, it will become a pile of scattered sand.

not to mention,

Before the main forces of the new three sects led by Cao Geng arrived in Huaian City, not only was the command hall of Huaian City destroyed by Qianlong Pavilion in one fell swoop, but the spiritual weapon depot in the city was also taken into their possession.

From this point of view, the current Huaian City would hardly be able to put up any resistance against the New Three Sects led by Cao Geng, even if there was a Japanese regiment guarding it.

The implication,

When Cao Geng led his troops to the outskirts of Huai'an City,

The saying goes, “When two men meet in a narrow road, the bravest prevails.” This is the way to win.

However, Cao Geng also clearly realized that their new three sects were still facing a serious problem:

At this moment in Huaian City, the Command Hall and the Spirit Weapon Depot had been overturned for a long time.

I guess Cao Geng wasn't the only one who got the information.

Those sinister Japanese pirates must have noticed this.

in other words,

If Cao Geng wanted to occupy Huaian City, the key is that the bravest will win when they meet on a narrow road.

On the other hand, it is also crucial to cut the Gordian knot and act quickly.

Otherwise, once the Japanese pirate reinforcements arrived, Cao Geng and his men would still face an unprecedented crisis.

When Cao Geng told Wang Huaibao what he was thinking truthfully, Wang Huaibao nodded in agreement with a serious expression.

He also knew that the new three groups of monks would once again be under great pressure.

Then he left to convey the instructions.

However, just as Wang Huaibao was leaving, Cao Geng looked calm and composed.

Although he told Wang Huaibao that if they could not recapture Huai'an as soon as possible, they would encounter huge obstacles in their practice.

However, considering that the Qianlong Sect has already disturbed Huaian County, Huaian City must be in chaos at this moment.

Under such circumstances, Cao Geng led the monks of the New Third Regiment to fight bravely, expecting that Huaian County would soon fall into their hands.

Sure enough, when Cao Geng and Wang Huaibao arrived at the outskirts of Huaian County, they did observe that the Japanese troops in the city were in chaos!

"This is a God-given opportunity. Let's capture the leader first!"

Without hesitation, the monks of Cao Geng's new Third Regiment took advantage of the chaos in Huaian City and launched an all-round attack on the Japanese troops in the city.

First came the artillery batteries, followed by the city walls and gates.

Under the leadership of monk generals such as Wang Huaibao and Kong Jie, the new Third Regiment advanced step by step towards Huaian County.

At the same time, Cao Geng still went deep into Huaian City alone, hunting down those Japanese generals with certain decision-making power one by one.

With Cao Geng's army fighting on two fronts, and the flank support from the disciples of Qianlong Sect,

Only two hours later, all the Japanese troops in Huaian County - even though their number was as large as an entire regiment - had been completely defeated.

……

When Huaian County was captured, Cao Geng let out a breath.

He knew very well that with him leading the New Third Regiment to successfully expel all the Japanese troops in Huaian, this arduous period of struggle would finally come to an end.

In recent days, the monks of the New Third Regiment have been too tired. It is time to have a good rest.

"Next, we will start counting the spoils."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Geng waved his hand and many monks from the New Third Regiment immediately began searching for Japanese military supplies that could still be used in Huaian County.

Obviously, after the victory of the war, the monks in the New Third Regiment all breathed a sigh of relief, but deep down in their hearts they felt a sense of unreality and trance.

In just two days, they experienced so many ups and downs.

……

On the Shotai Line, their New Third Regiment not only wiped out an entire Japanese regiment, but also blew up a Japanese train loaded with military supplies!

What’s even more exciting is that they also killed two hundred high-ranking Japanese generals on the Shota Line!
