The commander-in-chief of Haiyang State's expedition was a tall and mighty black bear who had cultivated to the late tenth level of the Divine Infant Realm. He was thinking as he followed the team forward.
He was originally a sibling of the deceased leader of Zhongtan Divine State, but he had always lived in Haiyang State and had a very good relationship with the leader of Haiyang State.
After the death of the leader of the Zhongtan State, the leader of the Haiyang State appointed him to lead a team to invade quickly, hoping to take advantage of the situation and incorporate the Zhongtan State into the Haiyang State.
And he also made full use of his identity as a member of the Black Bear clan and gained the secret support and welcome of the Black Bear family in the Zhongtan Divine Kingdom.
Therefore, he is not only the commander-in-chief of Haiyang State against the Northern Divine Army, but also the hope for the Black Bear family to revive again.
He already knew that after the main force of the Northern Divine Army entered Haiyang State from Jie Nan State, it quickly eliminated the reinforcements sent by the leader of Haiyang State and the regular troops stationed at the border, catching Haiyang State by surprise.
It is precisely because of this that the state leader repeatedly urged the main force of the Northern Divine State to withdraw, and demanded that the main force of the Northern Divine Army be quickly eliminated after the withdrawal.
Today is the first head-to-head battle between Haiyang State's Central Army and the main force of the Northern Divine Army.
This battle, in the words of the leader of the Haiyang Kingdom, was the main force of the Northern Divine Army encircling and annihilating the Western Route Army, and the Haiyang Central Route Army used this opportunity to work with the Western Route Army to encircle and annihilate the Northern Divine Army. It was a tit-for-tat battle.
But what they don't know is that the Haiyang Bangxi Route Army no longer exists, and the Haiyang Bangxi Route Army is destined to break its promise.
Now, only the newly built Golden Dragon Army is practicing in the camp of the original Haiyang Bangxi Route Army, and their purpose is to destroy Haiyang Bang and establish the Golden Dragon Army.
Although the commander-in-chief of Haiyang State was full of confidence, he always felt that something was wrong deep in his consciousness. To use the so-called psychological consciousness school that existed among the human race a long time ago, it meant that something was wrong in his subconscious mind, and his right eye could not help but Beating, the magic pill in the body is also a little unstable, always trying to jump out on its own.
But he tried his best to hold back, continued to urge the team to move forward, and once again sent a message to Marshal Otter and Deputy Marshal Black Bear.
However, there was still no reply from these two people.
In this way, he led the Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army to advance nearly fifty miles and was still more than thirty miles away from the mountain pass where the Haiyang Bangxi Route Army came out. The doubts and strong uneasiness in his heart finally made him order the team to stop. Go forward and camp on the spot to practice.
The commander of the Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army was a crocodile with a late-level tenth level cultivation in the Divine Infant Realm. After he heard the commander-in-chief’s order to suspend the advance, he said to the commander-in-chief: “Commander, we are not going to the mountain exit to the west. Are you going to encircle and suppress the main force of the Northern Divine Army? Why do you want to stop here to camp and practice?"
The commander-in-chief said: "Yes, according to the plan of the king, we will encircle and suppress the Northern Divine Army together with the West Route Army, but I have contacted Marshal Otter many times and have not received a reply from him. I am worried that the West Route Army is far away from the mountain pass. It's still far away, and it's not the time for us to rush there, so I order you to camp here and practice."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Commander!" the Crocodile Commander, who was at the late tenth level of the Divine Infant Realm, said with his fists clasped.
This crocodile commander is powerful in combat, second only to the leader of Haiyang in terms of cultivation and combat effectiveness. He is the number one warrior under the leader of Haiyang, but his mind is relatively simple and not suitable for leading an army alone.
It is precisely because of this that Lord Haiyang appointed Marshal Black Bear as the commander-in-chief of the expedition army, directly commanding the center army led by Marshal Crocodile.
Although the two of them have the same cultivation level, and even Marshal Black Bear's combat effectiveness is not as good as Marshal Crocodile, Marshal Crocodile must also obey Marshal Black Bear and act according to Marshal Black Bear's orders.
Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army stopped advancing and began to camp and practice.
When Huang Ling, who was following behind, saw this situation, he felt a thump in his heart and said to himself: "Oh no, the Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army is going to change its plan!"
He immediately sent a message to Emperor Mang, asking Emperor Mang to lead his team around to the grassland south of where Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army was camping, and prepare to block the way for Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army to escape to the south.
Then a message was sent to Jinshan, asking how far the place where the Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army was camping was from the place where the Northern Divine Army was ambushing.
Jinshan's response soon arrived. He clearly confirmed that the place where the Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army was camping was only four or five miles away from where the Northern Divine Army was ambushing. It was very close, but there was still a small mountain ridge blocking the two places. It cannot be crossed secretly.
Huang Ling smiled bitterly after receiving Jinshan's reply.
If the place where the Haiyang Bang Middle Route Army is camping is only a mile or two away from where the Northern Divine Army is ambushing, then now we can take advantage of the Haiyang Bang Middle Route Army's unpreparedness and quietly launch an all-out attack to catch them off guard.
However, it is now four or five miles away. At such a distance, if an attack is launched, the soldiers of the Northern Divine Army will be tired and weak by the time they reach the enemy, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, making it difficult to win. .
It is obviously not possible to move the ambush team and attack after approaching the Haiyang Bang Middle Route Army. Because although the distance is only four or five miles, there is a small mountain ridge between the two places. More than 7,000 soldiers will be discovered when they cross the mountain ridge, and all previous preparations will be in vain.
Huang Ling shook his head and sighed, and said, "Everyone of you, do you have any other tricks now?"
Huang Long shook his head, and the python emperor also shook his head.
Guishan pondered for a while and said: "Emperor Ling, I have a way, but it requires the cooperation of the Jinshan brothers. My way is to lure you into the urn. Since the Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army will not go forward, then we will attract them to the front." Go ahead and attract them into our ambush circle."
"Okay, please explain in detail!" Huang Ling said.
"First step, let's not block here, and don't let Haiyang Bang's middle route army find out that we have been here. We all secretly gathered under the mountains to the west of Haiyang Bang's team and pretended to try our best to block their westward advance. formation, and asked General Manager Jinshan to fly quickly around the place where the Haiyang Bang Middle Route Army was camping to attract the attention of Haiyang Bang soldiers. Then he quickly flew back to the west. After reaching our heads, General Manager Jinshan loudly arranged for us to build Position, build a defensive wall, and make all preparations to block the westward advance of the Central Route Army. He also told us loudly that the Haiyang Bang Central Route Army had set up camp, and told us not to be afraid, but to guard it boldly for two hours to ensure that the main force would annihilate the West Route Army at Xishan Pass. The army and so on, try our best to attract the Haiyang State soldiers and make them understand that we are going to intercept them, and we are buying time for the main force of the Northern Divine Army. The second step is, if the Haiyang State Middle Route Army attacks us, we will fight to the death. The more violent the language and behavior, the better. Of course, while resisting, we must also pretend to be panicked and retreat, thereby leading them into our ambush circle." Kameyama said in detail.
"Okay, let's lure you into the urn. The most important thing is to make them believe that we are here to stop them. Jinshan's performance is the most important!" Huang Long said.
Huang Ling thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, that's it. Emperor Mang, please notify the team immediately and tell them not to leave any traces here, and rush to the mountains to the west to block the progress of the Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army." Then. He also conveyed Guishan's method to Jinshan, asking Jinshan to first go to the road west of Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army to choose a blocking position.
Guishan's method of "leading the king into the urn" should actually be called "trying to lure the emperor into the urn". It is the same principle as the well-known "playing hard to catch", but the opposite method is to achieve the goal and use methods that are seemingly opposite to the goal. , constantly stimulating opponents to take the initiative to achieve their goals.
Under the arrangement of Manghuang, more than a hundred members of the First Brigade and Huang Ling, Huanglong, and Guishan secretly arrived to the west of the Haiyang Bangzhong Route Army garrison, leaving no traces along the way and causing no arousal. Attention of any living being.
The place Jinshan chose to intercept was more than 300 meters west of the Haiyang Bangzhong Road military camp. It was exactly what Jinshan called a small ridge. This was a ridge that extended from the mountains to the north and stretched deep into the grassland to the south. It is about three feet higher than the road and grassland at the foot of the mountain ridge to the east, like a wall separating the grassland on the east and west sides.
All creatures walking from east to west or from west to east along the road at the foot of the mountain must cross this small mountain ridge, otherwise they will have to go a long way to the south.
As soon as Huang Ling and the others climbed onto the hill ridge, they saw Jinshan and Jin Mu standing on the hill ridge looking towards the Haiyang Bangzhong Road Army Camp to the east.
Jinshan said: "Judging from the situation of their camp, they still don't know about the surrender of the West Route Army. They are still waiting for the West Route Army here. They want to attack us together after the West Route Army reaches the mountain pass."
"If that's the case, we don't have to worry. But it won't work if the night is long and the dream is too long. I have already sent a message to you about Guishan's method. It's up to you." Huang Ling said with a smile.
"Haha, the method is a good one, but I have to prepare, and you also have to be ready to fight a tough battle here, otherwise you may fail." Jinshan said with a smile.
"Hahaha, I heard that in the distant ancient times, the powerful people in the human race performed an empty city strategy. Today we are going to perform a real empty city strategy!" Huang Long said with a laugh.
According to Guishan's request, the Mang Emperor separated the members of the first brigade into groups and deployed formations on the small ridge just like when they attacked the teams of the five major families on the grassland.
The difference is that when attacking the teams of the five major families on the grassland, they deployed an offensive formation, but now they deploy a defensive formation, which mainly shows their determination and will to resolutely resist the attack of the Haiyang Bang Middle Route Army.
In addition to deploying a strong, tenacious, and shocking defensive formation at first glance, Huang Ling also asked the Mang Emperor to organize various combat groups of the First Battalion to build some defensive positions on the mountain ridges, making it possible for hundreds of soldiers to resist here. look.
Jin Mu also used his expertise in excavation and construction, and together with Mang Huang, he led the members of the first brigade to carefully design and build quickly.
In short, everyone tried every means to put on what Jinshan called a tough fight on the hill ridge, trying to make the Haiyang Bang Middle Route Army judge that they were going to intercept and delay the Haiyang Bang Middle Route Army at all costs. The march of the army.
After Huang Ling, Huang Long, Gui Shan, Jin Mu and Mang Huang led the first group on the small mountain ridge and were almost ready, Jin Shan also felt confident and smiled at everyone and said: "Everyone, this is the first time to lure the enemy deep. This is my first time doing it, and I need everyone to cooperate a lot, show off their momentum, and act like they will succeed if they don’t succeed. Okay, everyone wishes me a successful performance!"
