The night passed peacefully.
At three quarters of the hour, Banqibang's team set off.
Just after setting off, Huang Ling received a message from Marshal Zebra: "All soldiers, move forward quickly. Today's expeditionary force will be launched. Don't be slow!"
Huang Ling smiled and then sent an order: "The Sixth Army is ordered to attack the expeditionary force today. Follow me forward and do not retreat!"
Then he commanded the Sixth Army to advance quickly and rush toward the mountains to the north.
An hour and a half later, the soldiers of Banqibang's team saw a city wall appearing a few miles ahead.
This city wall is not tall, but it stretches for more than ten miles, connecting the mountains on the east and west sides, blocking the path forward of Banqibang's team.
Marshal Zebra of the First Alliance Army who was walking at the front saw the towering city wall and immediately ordered the entire First Alliance Army to charge, hoping to sneak into the city.
However, the soldiers of the Third Alliance of the Expeditionary Force who defended the city easily blocked the sneak attack by using the moat and various defensive facilities outside the city wall, and restricted the First Alliance of Banqibang to 200 meters in front of the city wall.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Marshal Zebra of the Banqibang First Alliance Army ordered the First Alliance Army to arrange themselves in a battle formation.
The battle formation of the First Alliance Army was exactly the formation stationed last night.
Therefore, Huang Ling led the Sixth Army from the back to the front, and was tied at the front with the First Army of the First Alliance Army that had failed in the charge just now.
Soon, the First Army of the Second Alliance also came up, arrayed on the right of the Sixth Army of the First Alliance led by Huang Ling.
Another half-quarter of an hour later, the Sixth Army of the Second Alliance also came up, arrayed to the right of the First Army of the Second Alliance.
In this way, the four legions at the front happened to be the four legions at the front when they were stationed last night.
As the four vanguard legions were arranged in place, the leader of Banqi State, two coalition marshals, and four coalition deputy marshals all reached the front of the team.
The mountain eagles of the expeditionary force had been flying around on the city wall for a long time. When they saw the leader of Banqi State coming out, they laughed and said: "Hahahaha, Your Excellency, you have already acquiesced to surrender to Xishan State. Why are you bringing the team with you again?" Are you here? Do you want to regret it? "
The leader of Banqi State said: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I surrender to you? When did I tacitly agree to surrender to you?"
"Hahahahaha, Sir, please calm down. A few days ago, didn't you directly say that you wanted to surrender to us and join the Jinshan Divine Kingdom? Have you forgotten?" Shan Ying said with a smile.
The leader of Banqi State said: "Are you dreaming? Today, our Banqi State team will completely annihilate your Xishan State Expeditionary Army. All officers and soldiers obey the order, conduct an all-out attack, flatten the walls of the Xishan State Expeditionary Army, and destroy Xishan Bang Expeditionary Force!"
Following the order of the leader of Banqi State, the four legions on the front line of Banqi State began to attack in an all-round way.
The Banqibang Legion behind them also followed closely, pressing together towards the expeditionary force.
Huang Ling led the Sixth Legion and rushed towards the city wall guarded by the expeditionary force.
The battle broke out in an instant.
Banqibang's four legions all attacked the city wall guarded by the expeditionary force. After three or four rounds, the sixth legion led by Huang Ling took the lead in breaking through the expeditionary force's defense and occupied the city wall more than 100 meters wide.
The leader of Banqi State and the two coalition marshals saw this and immediately led other legions to charge forward following the Sixth Legion led by Huang Ling.
In this way, more than a dozen legions of Banqibang followed the Sixth Legion and rushed into the city wall built by the expeditionary force.
The two legions of the First Alliance Army on the left and the Second Alliance Army on the right are still fighting for the city wall with the expeditionary force.
When the leader of Banqi State saw it, he immediately ordered the legions rushing from behind to help on both sides, striving to completely defeat the defense of the Xishan State Expeditionary Force.
The mountain eagle saw it in the air, and sent a message to order the defending soldiers on both sides to gradually retreat to the mountains on both sides.
When the leader of Banqi State saw the soldiers of the expeditionary army retreating towards the mountains, he ordered all the troops of Banqi State to pursue them.
Huang Ling led the Sixth Army along the valley, closely chasing behind the soldiers of the expeditionary force.
The leader of Banqi State and the two coalition marshals also followed the Sixth Army led by Huang Ling.
The Sixth Army led by Huang Ling advanced quickly, causing the soldiers of the Xishan State Expeditionary Force to retreat continuously. The Banqi State leader and the two coalition marshals also closely followed Huang Ling's Sixth Army, constantly charging forward. .
But behind them, the Banqibang army fell into a joint stranglehold between the first coalition army and the second coalition army of the expeditionary force.
An hour later, Huang Ling led the Sixth Army of the First Alliance Army of Banqibang and rushed to the besieged Banqibang team in the center of the mountain. The leader of Banqibang and two coalition marshals followed closely and also arrived at the besieged team. Around Banqibang's team.
At this moment, the 3rd Allied Forces of the Expeditionary Force, which was being chased and fled, joined the 4th Allied Forces that surrounded the troops garrisoned on Banchibang Mountain.
Shan Ying loudly ordered in the air: "The third coalition army starts from the right, and the third coalition army starts from the left."
Following Shan Ying's order, the Third Alliance Army turned around and rushed towards the Sixth Army Corps led by Huang Ling, and the Fourth Alliance Army also rushed towards the Fourth Alliance Army from the right.
Seeing this situation, the Banqibang team stationed in the mountains also rushed out and joined the Sixth Legion led by Huang Ling to jointly resist the attack of the expeditionary force and protect the Banqibang leader behind.
However, there were too many soldiers of the expeditionary force who surrounded and attacked the Banqibang team from both sides. About 200,000 expeditionary force soldiers surrounded 60,000 to 70,000 Banqibang soldiers, making it difficult for the Banqibang team to move forward and being beaten everywhere.
In order to protect the king, two coalition marshals who were in the mid-level of the first level of the Divine Disciple Realm had no choice but to go into battle personally and command the troops on both sides to resist.
The leader of Banqi State said: "Generals, we have rescued the army stationed in the north. Can we camp here to resist without retreating?"
Marshal Zebra said: "My lord, the terrain here is narrow and not suitable for a decisive battle with a large army. Now that we withdraw from the mountains and station on the grassland outside the mountains, we can trap the Xishan State expeditionary force and force them to retreat."
Marshal Juxiang also said: "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers behind us, and there are 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers here. It would be more appropriate for us to join them and camp outside the mountains."
"Okay, since the two marshals have decided this, we will start to retreat, camp at the exit of the mountain, and fight the Xishan State Expeditionary Force," said the leader of Banqi State.
Therefore, Marshal Zebra and Marshal Giant Elephant led more than 10,000 soldiers of the Chinese army to clear the way in front. Huang Ling led 10,000 soldiers of the Sixth Army to stand in the rear, guarding the leader of Banqi State in the middle and the 50,000 rescued people. The soldiers stationed on the mountain retreated to the grassland outside the mountain.
At this time, Huang Ling said to Huanglong, Jinshan, Jinlong, and Guishan: "It's your turn, but don't be too fast. From here to the exit of the mountain, you go and kill them one by one."
Huanglong, Jinshan, Jinlong, and Guishan got off Huang Ling, hid in the expeditionary army, and killed the marshal, deputy marshal, and legion commander of Banqibang's team one by one according to the plan formulated by Shanying.
Shanying saw Huang Ling, Jinshan, Jinlong, and Guishan hiding in the expeditionary force in the air, so he commanded the third coalition army and the fourth coalition army to block the retreat of Banqibang's team while attacking the troops surrounding the leader of Banqibang. Soldiers.
The Sixth Army of Banqibang's First Alliance Army, led by Huang Ling, also resisted and retreated to ensure the safety behind Banqibang's leader.
In this way, after more than two hours of hard fighting and the loss of nearly 30,000 soldiers, the leader of Banqi State and tens of thousands of soldiers retreated from the mountain garrison camp to the grassland south of the mountain.
After arriving at the grassland, Huang Ling, who was in the rear, immediately ordered the soldiers of the Sixth Army to build a city wall 200 meters south of the trenches of the expeditionary force, set up obstacles, and pretend to be in a long-term confrontation with the expeditionary force.
Just when Huang Ling was directing the soldiers to build the city wall, the leader of Banqi State came over and said: "Commander Baboon, you did a good job. We were able to rescue 50,000 soldiers from the siege of the Xishan State Expeditionary Force today. , this is all your credit. Now, as the commander-in-chief of the rear, it is very important for you to take the initiative to build the city wall here and be prepared to resist the attack of the Xishan State Expeditionary Army. Okay, when we repel the Xishan State Expeditionary Army After your attack, I will definitely reward you heavily!"
After the leader of Banqi State finished speaking, he was about to continue to inspect the newly built city wall when he heard the commander of the Chinese army coming from a distance and said: "Report to the leader, our battle losses have been calculated, and a total of 112,000 people were sacrificed. More than a thousand soldiers. Among them, the First Coalition Army sacrificed more than 35,000 soldiers, the Second Coalition Army sacrificed more than 53,000 soldiers, and the northern mountain garrison troops sacrificed more than 24,000 soldiers. In addition, our two marshals , four deputy marshals and sixteen legion commanders also died in the line of duty."
"What? Didn't they rush out with us? How could they die in the line of duty?" said the leader of Banqi State.
"Report to the king, they were all killed after returning to the grassland." said the commander of the Chinese army.
"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! This is really unreasonable! The bird is still hovering there, notifying all armies to be on guard. By the way, how many soldiers do we still have who can fight now?" said the leader of Banqi State.
"Reporting to the king, there are still more than 148,000 soldiers here. I am just about to ask you for instructions on how to reorganize the team." said the commander of the Chinese army.
"Today, we have less than 300,000 soldiers. Banqi City and the garrison teams on the east and west sides can no longer be used. These are the only teams that can resist the Xishan State Expeditionary Force here. It is to form a large coalition army. , it’s better to form three small coalition forces, you can talk about it." said the leader of Banqi State.
"According to convention, we should form three small coalitions, but now we have to do our best to block the attack of the Xishan State Expeditionary Force. Maybe forming one large coalition and one small coalition is more suitable for combat needs." The commander of the Chinese Army said.
"Okay, please tell me specifically how to do it." The leader of Banqi State said.
"Reporting to the Lord, my idea is to first form a main coalition army with 100,000 soldiers, and then organize the other soldiers into a small coalition army. The small coalition army will assist the main coalition army around the battlefield, so that the two coalition forces can cooperate with each other and be able to take the initiative Calmly resist the Xishan State Expeditionary Force," said the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army.
"Okay! Just form a team according to your plan and try to complete it as soon as possible." said the leader of Banqi State.
The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army immediately said: "Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"
Not far away, Huang Ling clearly heard the conversation between the leader of Banqi State and the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, so he sent a detailed message to Shan Ying, asking Shan Ying to immediately organize a team to attack in a sneak attack and give the leader of Banqi State another blow.
