After Shanying received the message from Huang Ling, he learned that there were more than 140,000 soldiers in the main force of Banqi State plus the garrison in the northern mountains, and the leader of Banqi State wanted to organize these soldiers into a large coalition. and a small coalition, and then continued fighting with the Xishanbang Expeditionary Force.
"Hmph, except for the leader of Banqi State, they no longer have strong men with the tenth level of Divine Infant Realm's Great Perfection cultivation. Am I still afraid of them?" Shan Ying muttered while transmitting messages to arrange a sneak attack at night.
At midnight, Huang Ling was practicing in the camp when he heard shouts of death coming from the east, west, and south.
This is the sneak attack arranged by Shan Ying.
According to Shan Ying's arrangement, the first and second coalition forces of the expeditionary force marched from the east and west ridges on both sides of the mountain exit to the grassland in the south, and then surrounded and attacked Banqibang's team from the east, west, and south sides.
The first and second coalition forces of the Expeditionary Force have a total of 200,000 soldiers. It is naturally very easy to conduct a sneak attack on Banqibang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
But the order Shan Ying gave them was to try to annihilate the Banqibang soldiers and inflict more pain on the Banqibang leader.
Therefore, after the First and Second Allied Forces of the Expeditionary Force began their sneak attack, they began a fierce attack from the east, west, and south.
The Banqibang soldiers were all practicing in the camp at this time. They had no idea that the expeditionary force would come to sneak attack overnight, and they were not prepared for a battle at all.
Therefore, when the Banqibang soldiers came out of the camp in a hurry, the expeditionary army soldiers had already rushed in front of them, and they had to rush to fight and fight as hard as they could.
This caused the various brigades of the expeditionary force to run rampant in the camp of Banqibang team, killing here and there, as if they were in a realm of nothing.
The Banqibang team also quickly retreated from the east, west, south and north to the north.
To the north of the camp where the Banqibang team is stationed is the defense facility built by the Sixth Army Corps commanded by Huang Ling, and further away is the defensive wall of the expeditionary force.
The defensive facilities built by the Sixth Army were mainly to defend against the expeditionary force from the north, and had no blocking effect on the Banqibang team retreating from the south.
However, the city wall built by the expeditionary force blocked the retreat of Banqi State soldiers.
At this time, the teams guarding the expeditionary force's city wall were the third and fourth coalition armies of the expeditionary force.
Since the two coalition forces drove the Banqibang team out of the mountains, they have been stationed inside the city wall, defending the Banqibang team from the front.
Now, the leader of Banqi State and the soldiers of the Chinese army under his direct command gradually retreated to the Sixth Army led by Huang Ling.
When Huang Ling saw the leader of Banqi State and the Chinese army retreating, he said loudly to the soldiers of the Sixth Army and the other soldiers of Banqi State who were retreating: "Soldiers, two hundred meters to the north is the Xishan State Expedition. Do you want to retreat to the city wall of the army? Now is the time to fight for our lives. We must counterattack to have a way out. All officers and soldiers, follow me to charge south and repel the siege of the expeditionary force."
After saying that, Huang Ling organized the soldiers of the Sixth Army to rush south first.
The leader of Banqi State saw it and immediately said loudly: "Everyone is here, follow the baboon commander to charge and break out of the siege of the expeditionary force."
Following the order of the leader of Banqibang, all the Banqibang soldiers who retreated followed Huang Ling and the Sixth Army and rushed south.
The first and second coalition forces of the Expeditionary Force were originally small in the south. Now that they saw Huang Ling leading the Banqibang Sixth Army rushing over, they began to shrink to the east and west.
Soon, Huang Ling and the Sixth Army rushed out. The leader of Banqi State and the Chinese soldiers around him also rushed out. Some other Banqi State soldiers who closely followed Huang Ling's Sixth Army also rushed out. Got out.
However, nearly one-third of the soldiers of Banqi State were gathered and annihilated by the soldiers of the expeditionary army. Even the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army and the commanders of the other two legions who risked their lives to protect the leader of Banqi State also perished.
After Huang Ling led the Sixth Legion out of the siege of the expeditionary army soldiers, he turned back to greet the leader of Banqi State and the Chinese soldiers beside him. He waited until the leader of Banqi State and the Chinese soldiers who rushed out entered. Among the Sixth Army, Huang Lingcai commanded the Sixth Army to protect the leader of Banqi State and retreat to the south.
Half an hour later, Huang Ling commanded the Sixth Army to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot for repairs.
The other legion soldiers of Banqibang also stopped and camped closely next to the Sixth Legion led by Huang Ling.
After all the Banqibang troops who had broken out of the encirclement gathered and garrisoned, the Banqibang leader sent the Chinese army officers to count the number of soldiers and check all kinds of baggage.
According to statistics, there are only more than 94,000 Banqi State soldiers stationed with the Sixth Army led by Huang Ling at this time. Even if the more than 3,000 Chinese soldiers under the direct command of the Banqi State leader are added, There are no more than 100,000 soldiers.
Huang Ling said: "Dear Lord, it is very difficult for our expeditionary force to win against the Xishan Kingdom this time. You see, our team now only has more than 90,000 soldiers. Apart from you, there is no one with the level of a divine disciple. Strong. Therefore, I suggest that the battle between our Banqi State and Xishan State Expeditionary Forces be temporarily suspended. Otherwise, it may be difficult for us to return to Banqi City."
"Commander Baboon's words make sense. Since the Xishan State Expeditionary Force entered our territory of Banqi State, we have lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and more than a dozen powerful men in the divine disciple realm. We no longer have the ability to fight with Xishan State. The Bang Expeditionary Force is fighting!" said another legion commander who was at the late tenth level of the Divine Infant Realm.
The leader of Banqi State looked around him. There were only more than 3,000 soldiers in the 10,000-strong army, and there were only three commanders of more than 20 legions, and they were all late-stage cultivators of the tenth level of the Divine Infant Realm. for.
Seeing this situation, the leader of Banqi State could only say: "Yes, it is difficult for us to win the battle against the Xishan State Expeditionary Force! We have already lost 170,000 to 80,000 soldiers, and our combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced. Even if we mobilize teams from Banqi City and the east and west sides, it will be difficult to defeat the Xishan State Expeditionary Army. For now, we can only temporarily truce with the Xishan State Expeditionary Army until we have the ability to fight again in the future!"
The leader of Banqibang looked at the soldiers of Banqibang further away, and said: "We were originally going to follow the suggestion of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army and organize the team into two coalition armies. But now that the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army has died in the battle, the number of soldiers There are only more than 90,000 soldiers left, and they can only be organized into a main coalition force. Now I order Commander Baboon to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, and to integrate all the existing officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army into the Chinese Army to enrich the strength of the Chinese Army. All others All the soldiers were incorporated into the main coalition force of Banqi State and stationed on the spot to confront the Xishan State Expeditionary Force."
Huang Ling clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust, Lord. I will do my best to maintain the stability of the team and protect the safety of the Lord!"
"Commander Baboon, there is no need to thank you. In today's two battles, if it weren't for your desperate protection and leading charge, we might have been wiped out by the Xishan State Expeditionary Force. Your appointment now is appropriate. I hope you will continue to work hard and build a bigger army." Merit!" said the leader of Banqi State.
"Thank you, Lord!" Huang Ling said, clasping his fists again.
The leader of Banqibang glanced at the commanders of the other two legions and said: "In order to unify the command, Commander Baboon will not only serve as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, but also serve as the marshal of the main coalition army that will be formed in Banqibang. Both of your army commanders have also been promoted to serve as commanders. The deputy commander-in-chief of the main coalition force that is about to be formed. If one of you reaches the tenth level of the Divine Infant Realm first, that person will succeed Commander Baboon as the marshal of the main coalition force. Do you have any objections?"
The two legion commanders who were at the late tenth level of the Divine Infant Realm standing next to Huang Ling heard the king's question and immediately replied: "I will obey the king's order and I completely agree!"
"Based on the number and cultivation of our soldiers, the newly formed main coalition army consists of nine legions. Now you should seize the time to form it without any further delay. Okay, let's get started." The leader of Banqi State finally said.
"Yes." Huang Ling and two other commanders who were in the late tenth level of the Divine Infant Realm said together.
Although the sky was very dark, Shan Ying saw Huang Ling rushing out with the Sixth Army in the air. The leader of Banqibang also led the Chinese army and followed the Sixth Army. Some other Banqibang troops also followed. Rush outside and send a message to order the First and Second Allied Forces of the Expeditionary Force to withdraw their troops.
Following Shan Ying's order, the soldiers of the expeditionary force quickly eliminated the Banqibang team in the encirclement, and then withdrew to the mountains from the east and west.
Soon, Shan Ying received another message from Huang Ling, and learned that the leader of Banqi State had agreed to a temporary truce and appointed Huang Ling as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army and the marshal of the main coalition force of Banqi State that was about to be formed.
"Hahaha, the first step was successful! Okay, okay, our expeditionary force will practice here now and concentrate on improving combat effectiveness." Shan Ying said with a smile.
The next day, the formation of Banqi State's main coalition force was completed. Huang Ling issued an order to the newly formed main coalition force and said: "The state leader has agreed to a truce between us and the Xishan State Expeditionary Force. Therefore, all soldiers must concentrate on training and strive to improve from today on." The ability to cultivate and practice will lay the foundation for future victory."
After arranging the training of the main coalition forces, Huang Ling arranged the training of the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army.
Now, the Sixth Army led by Huang Ling has all been integrated into the Chinese Army, bringing the Chinese Army to more than 9,000 soldiers, basically returning to the combat effectiveness of a complete army.
After arranging things for the two teams, Huang Ling also started practicing.
Now, Huang Ling's cultivation has broken through the perfection of the third level of the divine disciple realm and reached the early stage of the fourth level of the divine disciple realm.
In the Chaos Divine Body technique practiced by Huang Ling, the fourth level of the Divine Disciple Realm is to condense the sea of blood.
When there is a sea of blood in the divine body, the sea of blood can provide energy for the entire divine body, and ensure that the divine body can obtain a steady stream of skills and be able to exert all its combat effectiveness.
When not fighting, the sea of blood can store energy and continuously nourish all parts of the body.
Therefore, the sea of blood in the divine body is very important.
If the first and second levels of the divine disciple realm cultivate the defensive and protective facilities outside the divine body, and the third level of the divine disciple realm cultivates the perception of the divine body and the weapons for fighting with divine consciousness, then the fourth level of the divine disciple realm cultivates the divine body. Source of divine power.
When the divine body has this source of divine power, its cultivation has entered the middle stage of the divine disciple realm. Not only can the fighting time be greatly extended, but the combat effectiveness can also be significantly improved.
At this time, outside Huang Ling's divine infant, a nest-like substance appeared. It was very small at first, like an inconspicuous little bean.
Under Huang Ling's continuous operation of the Chaos Divine Body skills and input of energy, this little bean gradually grew up, becoming the size of an egg, then the size of a fist, and finally turned directly into a rice bowl.
After reaching the size of a rice bowl, this nest-like substance no longer grew in size, and Huang Ling also felt that his cultivation had reached the early stage of the fourth level of the Divine Disciple Realm.
Huang Ling used his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine this nest-like substance, and found that this substance was just an empty thing with only an outer skin. It was far from the real sea of blood that formed and stored blood, and it still needed to be cultivated hard.
Therefore, Huang Ling did not dare to stop at all. He must seize all the time to practice hard and strive to condense the sea of blood to perfection as soon as possible.
