Just when Jinshan, Huang Ling, Huanglong, and Guishan had just flown to the southern border of Jinshan State, they received news from Jintu and Jinlong at the same time.
Jintu's news is to explain their method of challenging Tunyun State, and Jinlong's news is to report on Haiyun State's invasion.
Huang Long said: "There is a canyon between Tunyun State and Jinlong State. According to Jintu's method, there should be no problem. However, it is difficult to deal with the two groups of Haiyun State soldiers in the east, and the number of soldiers far exceeds that of Nanding City. This It is indeed a big test for Jinlong.”
"The border between Tunyun State and Jinshan State is a flat grassland, but there is no news of Tunyun State attacking Jinshan State yet. This is a bit abnormal. The bear people should be reminded to pay attention to search and precautions. Now, the sea to the east Both Yun State and Xishan State to the west have divided their forces into two groups to attack, but Tun Yun State in the middle has only one attack line. This situation should not be right. We must ask Jintu and Xiongren to pay attention to this. Guishan, you Give them a reply to remind them," Huang Ling said.
"There must be another team in Tunyun State, but it has not appeared now. Just like our western army, we really need to be on guard against this. My guess is that Tunyun State wants to use everyone's attention to the Battle of the Canyon to launch a sneak attack, and the target of their sneak attack It must be the Bear Man's Western Expedition Army. Therefore, my idea is that the Bear Man leads the Western Expedition Army to take the initiative to attack and disrupt the layout of the Tunyun State. Jin Tu sent me a message. He said that since the three divine nations in the south want to come Invading our territory, then why do we only defend passively and not take the initiative to fight back? His suggestion is that the bear people take the initiative and push the southern border of Jinshan State to the same level as Jinlong State. This will also facilitate our defense together in the future. . Now, the border of Jinlong State is more than 100 miles south of the border of Jinshan State, which makes Haiyun State and Tunyun State in the south always want to expand north. Especially in Tunyun State, the two sections of the border are more than 100 miles apart from the north to the south. , I have always wanted to level it up. But in the past, Haiyang State’s Nanzheng City had always been heavily stationed, and coupled with the restrictions of the canyon, Tunyun State’s idea has been unable to be realized. I think Jintu’s suggestion is very good, since now If Tunyun State attacks Jinlong State from the canyon, then we will attack Tunyun State directly from the grassland to the south. In a tit-for-tat confrontation, even if Tunyun State hides its team on the grassland, we can force them out," Guishan said.
"This is a good idea! They fight theirs, and we fight ours. Since they are coming to occupy our place, why can't we occupy theirs? I agree with Jintu and Guishan's suggestions and order the bears to take the initiative. Advance to the south and push the border of Jinshan State to the same level as Jinlong State." Huang Long said.
"Okay! Guishan, you send a message to the bear people and ask them to take the initiative, push to the south, and penetrate into Tunyun State." Huang Ling said.
"Okay, I'll send a message right away!" Guishan immediately sent a message to the Xiong people, asking the Western Expedition Army to be renamed the Southern Expedition Army, attack directly to the south, hit Tunyun State, and push the southern border of Jinshan State all the way south .
After receiving the message from Guishan, the Bear Man immediately ordered all the armies and brigade to change the flag to Jinshan State Southern Expedition Army. Although it only changed one word, it made the purpose clear.
In the past, Jinshan State's Western Expedition Army attacked Jie Nan State from east to west. Now it is attacking Tun Yun State from north to south, moving the northern border of Tun Yun State to the south.
The Bear Man sent a message to the entire army and said: "Tunyun State attacked Nanzheng City, our brother Jinlong State, for no reason. They wanted to push the northern border of Tunyun State to the north of Nanzheng City and the Jinshan Mountain in front of us. The state boundary line is flush with it. Since they want to do this, then we will push the boundary line in front of us all the way to the south to be flush with the Jinlong state boundary line. Brothers, do you think this is good?"
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Let's fight to the south." More than 50,000 soldiers shouted in unison, especially those soldiers who originally guarded the southern border of Jinshan State. They were more willing to push the southern border of Jinshan State to the south, vigorously Expand the southern grassland of Jinshanbang.
"Okay! In this case, from now on, our southern expedition army will bravely move southward and push the boundary line in front of us more than a hundred miles southward to be flush with the southern boundary line of Jinlong State in the east. OK, let's go! " said the bear man.
Following the bear man's order, five legions composed of more than 50,000 soldiers marched south together, and soon rushed out of the southern border of Jinshan State and rushed towards the territory of Tunyun State to the south.
After the southern expedition army led by the bear man entered the territory of Tunyun State, it quickly alarmed the top leaders of Tunyun State, Xishan State and Haiyun State.
They originally estimated that the troops of Jinshan State and Jinlong State would only resist within their own territory, but they never expected that Jinshan State would send large armies to break through the border and fight on the outside.
Therefore, their plan only included the content of attacking Jinlong State and Jinshan State, and there was no content at all on how to defend Jinshan State from attacking within their own state.
This resulted in the Southern Expedition Army led by the Bear Man marching triumphantly, quickly occupying large areas of territory in Tunyun State and Xishan State, and was about to push the southern border of Jinshan State to the southern border of Jinlong State.
And the most amazing thing is that the southern expedition army advanced more than a hundred miles south in less than two days.
During these more than a hundred miles, they encountered only very little resistance, and these resistances were all organized by some local families.
In other words, the Southern Expedition army did not see any Tunyun State troops in such a vast land, let alone any troops who wanted to attack Jinshan State.
Not only that, they didn't see any teams in the neighboring territory of Xishan State. Therefore, they took care of the grass and hunted rabbits, occupying many places in Xishan State.
While the Southern Expeditionary Army vigorously occupied the territory of Tunyun State and Xishan State, the battle in the canyon between Jinlong State and Tunyun State was also going on thrillingly.
Jinlong State's 30,000 troops are guarding the four-mile-long canyon on one side of Jinlong State, and more than 20,000 soldiers are guarding outside the canyon as a reserve team, always paying attention to the battle inside the canyon.
The soldiers of Tunyun State charged again and again and fought one battle after another, but they failed to break through the defense line of the soldiers of Jinlong State.
This canyon between the two countries is not only a passage between the two countries, but also a gateway for the two countries to defend each other.
The total length of the canyon is about seven or eight miles. The northern half belongs to the Jinlong State and the southern half belongs to the Tunyun State. They are both interconnected roads and battlefields for mutual confrontation.
The southern half of the canyon was filled with tens of thousands of Tunyun State soldiers, and the northern half was filled with tens of thousands of Jinlong State soldiers. The soldiers of the two states formed a sharply opposed formation in the canyon. No one would give in to the other, and no one would yield.
Crocodile and dozens of strong men with tenth level cultivation in the Divine Infant Realm guarded the forward team of Jinlong State and always stayed on the front line.
They firmly resisted the attack of Tunyun State soldiers and fought bloody battles.
Both sides in the confrontation suffered losses. Jinlong State probably suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and Tunyun State sacrificed more than 10,000 soldiers.
The reason why the Jinlongbang soldiers suffered few casualties is because the Jinlong Army focused on defense and made good use of the terrain and defense facilities to eliminate the enemy while fully protecting itself.
Tunyun Bang's sacrifice was because he could not rely on defensive facilities during an offensive charge, but could only rely on the soldiers' own skills, fighting spirit and combat skills.
They will be killed when they charge to exhaustion.
Hundreds of soldiers will be sacrificed every time the Tunyun State troops charge, but they must keep charging, constantly consuming the skills of the Jinlong State soldiers, constantly destroying the defense facilities that the Jinlong State soldiers rely on, and constantly compressing the Golden Dragon. The defensive line of the state soldiers.
Only in this way can the soldiers of Tunyun State continue to move forward and open this channel step by step to achieve the strategic goals of Tunyun State.
This is the difference between defense and offense. It is precisely because of this difference that Tunyun State had to plan to use a hundred thousand troops to open this passage and occupy this canyon.
The 50,000 soldiers of Jinlong State are already the ultimate force to defend this canyon.
At this time, more than 20,000 Jinlongbang soldiers outside the north entrance of the canyon were patiently waiting to enter the canyon to fight.
But the 60,000 to 70,000 Tunyun soldiers outside the south entrance of the canyon were in panic.
Because from time to time, soldiers in their ranks would fall to the ground and die, showing frightened faces.
Especially the soldiers on the edge of the road, they basically disappeared, as if they suddenly ceased to exist.
Sometimes, screams would suddenly come out from the dense ranks of soldiers, causing the surrounding soldiers to panic and run around in panic, causing frequent chaos.
Especially at night, this situation occurred more and more frequently, which made the soldiers of Tunyun State intolerable and their morale was seriously damaged.
Although generals kept coming to investigate and provide comfort and advice, many soldiers had become war-weary and had lost their will to fight.
After more than 100 charges and fierce battles over two days and one night, the Tunyun State troops sacrificed nearly 30,000 soldiers in the canyon, and the Jinlong State troops also sacrificed nearly 10,000 soldiers here. The Tunyun State troops finally moved the front from the south. It advanced more than a hundred meters to the north.
This victory of more than 100 meters was not easy for the soldiers of Tunyun State, but it was a shame for the soldiers of Jinlong State.
Therefore, the soldiers who had just been replenished from outside the canyon were extremely angry, and they vowed to regain the lost more than 100 meters.
But Jintu said to them: "Don't be sad for a mere hundred meters. You must first protect yourselves according to the structure of the combat team. We retreated more than a hundred meters because of the defense facilities of more than a hundred meters in front. They were all destroyed and were no longer able to defend and protect everyone well. But over a hundred meters, nearly 30,000 soldiers of Tunyun State died, which was already worth it. Okay, everyone, protect yourselves first , and then work together to annihilate the enemy, don’t be blind!”
After hearing the words of General Manager Jintu, the surrounding soldiers stabilized their emotions and formed a battle formation according to the structure of the battle group, preparing to face another charge from the Tunyun State team.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the second night of the battle slowly came.
Jintu said to Crocodile: "Marshal Crocodile, we have resisted for two days and one night. Both we and the soldiers of Tunyun State are very tired. I want to launch a counterattack tonight, what do you think?"
"Comparatively speaking, our reserve team left outside the canyon does not have many problems, but the soldiers inside the canyon are indeed very tired. More than 30,000 soldiers of Tunyun State have died, and 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers in the canyon have died. They must be as tired as we are. Okay, I'll bring in the reserve team outside the canyon and launch a counterattack under the cover of night. Although it may not be possible to drive them out completely, there is no problem in wiping out some of the Tunyun State soldiers inside the canyon. Yes." Crocodile Mound said.
After hearing Crocodile's words, Jintu smiled and said: "Okay, you can bring in the reserve team from outside. We will counterattack in an hour!"
