Bandan State is more than 500 miles wide from north to south and more than 600 miles long from east to west. Except for a mountain range in the east, the rest is very flat.
It was precisely because of this that the leader of Bandan State decided to ambush the Jinshan Divine Kingdom team in the eastern mountains.
It was more than 1,200 miles from Jindu City to the eastern border of Bandan State. The First Front Army and the Seventh Front Army of Jinshan Kingdom walked for fifteen days before approaching the eastern border of Bandan State.
The mountain eagle said to the mammoth: "Brother, we are close to the eastern border of Bandan State. According to my understanding, the eastern part of Bandan State is a continuous mountain range, about three hundred miles long from north to south, and about one hundred miles wide from east to west. Many miles. If we go around from the south or north, it may take three or four days more. If we go through the mountains, it only takes two days, but the road is narrow and walking is difficult. What do you think? Are you leaving?"
"Hahaha, what do you think is the best way to walk, Brother Shanying?" Mammoth said with a laugh.
"My idea is to go through the mountains. This can save a few days." Shan Ying said.
"Okay, I agree with brother's idea! But I would like to ask brother to go there and investigate first. It has taken us fifteen days to get here from Jindu City. The Lord of Bandan State must have known our itinerary for a long time. It is very likely that they will design an ambush in the middle of this mountain range in an attempt to block us." Mammoth said.
"Okay, let's go now." After Shan Ying finished speaking, he sent a message and arranged for all the coalition forces of the First Front Army of Jinshan Kingdom to be stationed outside the eastern mountains of Bandan State to wait for orders, and then took the mammoths towards the eastern mountains of Bandan State. Fly up into the sky.
A quarter of an hour later, the mountain eagle flew over the eastern mountains of Bandanbang, and then found the widest east-west ravine before continuing to fly westward along the ravine.
"Brother Shanying, the ravine below is probably the main road leading to Bandan City. If we go west along this ravine, we will definitely find some problems. If there are no problems in this ravine, then we will Follow this ravine to Bandan City." Mammoth said.
"Okay!" the mountain eagle said as it flew.
This is a ravine about 700 to 800 meters wide. The bottom of the ravine is flat with very small fluctuations, but the slopes on both sides are steep and difficult to climb.
The mountain eagle flew westward along the northern edge of the ravine. Half a quarter of an hour later, Mammoth said: "Brother Eagle, my spiritual consciousness detected that there is something wrong with the south of the ravine. There is a fork to the south, and there seems to be someone stationed in it. There are many teams, you fly higher and let’s take a look at it from a high altitude.”
The mountain eagle was stunned for a moment and then flew to higher places.
After rising to an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, the situation inside the southern fork of the ravine gradually became clearer.
"Brother, you are right. We couldn't see it at all at low places, but now we can see it clearly at such a high place. Should we go in and investigate?" Shan Ying said.
"Don't go in and disturb them. Let's just take a look here. According to my investigation, there are at least 200,000 soldiers stationed in this branch of the road. Let's continue to the west and see if there are any teams stationed elsewhere." said the mammoth.
The mountain eagle maintained its altitude and continued to fly westward.
After four or five breaths, they saw a fork leading northward on the north side of the ravine.
"There are also more than 200,000 soldiers stationed in this forked road, and their combat effectiveness is more powerful than the troops in the southern forked road. Let's continue to the west and clear out all the Bandan troops stationed in this ravine. ." Mammoth said.
The mountain eagle flew forward unhurriedly.
After another five or six breaths, Mammoth said: "Look, there is another fork in the south of the ravine. There is also a huge team stationed in it. The number of soldiers will not be less than 300,000."
"It seems that they are setting up defenses step by step, intercepting and killing us everywhere, trying to completely block us here." Shan Ying said.
"Yes, let's move on!" said the mammoth.
The mountain eagle flew westward from high altitude along the northern edge of the ravine.
After flying for another three thousand meters, a branch road appeared again on the north side of the ravine, and the intersection of this branch road was about three to four hundred meters wide, which was much wider than the three branches we had seen.
Mammoth said: "Brother Shanying, this fork in the road is very wide. Let's go in and take a look!"
The mountain eagle flew in.
Less than three hundred meters after entering the fork in the road, I saw densely packed soldiers stationed inside.
"This should be the command center of the Bandan army, and it is also the main force to ambush and intercept us. There are almost 400,000 soldiers stationed here." Mammoth said.
"It took us fifteen or six days to get here from Jindu City. These ten days are enough for Bandan State to make such preparations!" Shan Ying said with a sigh.
"Yes! They will definitely ambush and intercept us, and this mountain range is the best place. Let's go back to the main ravine in the east-west direction. I guess there is a hidden team ahead." Mammoth said.
The mountain eagle quickly returned to the main ravine in the east-west direction and continued to fly to the west.
At this time, the main ravine in the east-west direction also shrank and became narrower, only about five or six hundred meters wide, and in some places it was only three or four hundred meters wide.
After continuing to fly west for seven or eight miles, a tall and towering city wall stood in the ravine, cutting off the entire ravine.
At both ends of the city wall, there are two city gates of about the same size, one with North City Gate written on it and the other with South City Gate written on it.
There were forty or fifty soldiers guarding both the inside and outside of the city gate.
On the tall and towering city wall, there are also many soldiers standing three steps, one post, five steps and one post.
"This should be the pass leading to Bandan City. It is very steep and spectacular! If there are tens of thousands of soldiers guarding it, we can't attack it even if we send 200,000 soldiers!" Shan Ying said.
"Yes, this is an important pass. Let's go in and have a look!" Mammoth said.
The mountain eagle flew over the mountains to the north, and flew from the mountains to the Guan pass city.
Mammoth released his spiritual consciousness and carefully explored the situation inside the pass city.
"There are more than 200,000 soldiers stationed in this pass city. Their combat power is very strong and it is difficult to attack." Mammoth said.
"Hahaha, they really value us! From east to west, there are actually more than one million soldiers stationed. They are really rich and want to completely eliminate us here!" Shan Ying said.
"Yes, there are a total of more than 1.3 million soldiers in the five teams. This is the rhythm to wipe us all out here!" Mammoth said.
"Hmph! Now that they have set up such a formation, let's have a good time playing with them! Brother, do you need to look further ahead?" Shan Ying said.
"No need, the situation is already very clear. Bandanbang has deployed all the teams here. This is to completely block our progress!" Mammoth said.
"Brother, since they have arranged the main force here, let's hold them here and ask the Third Front Army and the Eighth Front Army to capture Bandan City from the north and south, and then join us in attacking the main force of Bandan State from east to west. , deal with them once and for all." Shan Ying said.
"Okay, let's go back and hide around the first fork in the east. We will transmit the situation here to the general manager and ask him to command the third front army and the eighth front army to capture Bandan City from the north and south. In addition, Our team also marched to the west of the first fork in the road, sealed and eliminated the Bandan Bang team in the first fork, and then held back the other teams in Bandan Bang so that they could not return to support Bandan City. said the mammoth.
The mountain eagle turned and flew towards the east.
It was more than forty miles from Guan'ai City to the first fork in the east, and the mountain eagle flew there quickly.
"Come on, let's go in and take a look now and see how we can eliminate them quickly." Mammoth said.
The mountain eagle carefully flew into the first fork in the road.
This branch of the road is about two hundred meters wide and extends to the south. I don't know where it leads.
The Bandanbang team was stationed two miles away from the intersection of two ravines. Although there were more than 200,000 soldiers inside, the camp was small and relatively hidden.
The mountain eagle flew carefully in a circle along the Chalu ravine, carefully observing the terrain and the situation of the troops stationed there.
Mammoth also used his spiritual consciousness to carefully explore the situation inside the Bandanbang team.
A quarter of an hour later, Mammoth said: "There are more than 223,000 soldiers here, including one who has cultivated to the middle level of the fifth level of the divine disciple, three who have cultivated to the early stage of the fifth level of the divine disciple, and three who have cultivated to the early stage of the fifth level of the divine disciple. There are thirty-six fourth-level cultivations, more than 130 third-level cultivations in the divine disciple realm, and more than 480 second- and first-level cultivations in the divine disciple realm. Their combat effectiveness is still relatively strong, but compared with the entire seventh-level cultivation base. Compared with the front army, it is far behind."
"Brother, what do you think of the specific plan below?" Shan Ying said.
"I'm about to discuss it with you. My idea is that one front army will enter this fork in the road to eliminate these Bandan Bang troops, and the other front army will defend and monitor the west side of this fork in the road to prevent other Ban Dan Bang teams from coming to attack. ." Mammoth said.
"Okay! Your Seventh Front Army has just been formed and needs combat training. Let the Seventh Front Army enter and fight inside. The First Front Army will defend and monitor outside to guard against other teams in Bandan State. What do you think?" Shan Ying said.
"Okay!" Mammoth nodded and said.
"There is a mountain ridge at the exit of this fork in the road. Shall we go to the mountain ridge now?" Shan Ying said.
"Okay!" Mammoth nodded and said while thinking about how to enter the fork in the road to eliminate the Bandanbang team.
The mountain eagle flew towards the mountain ridge at the fork in the road.
After four or five breaths, the mountain eagle landed on the mountain.
"Brother, I see you are thoughtful and distracted. What are you thinking about?" Shan Ying said tactfully when he saw that the mammoth had not gotten off his back.
"Hahaha, sin, sin! I am thinking about how to most effectively eliminate the Bandan team in this fork in the road." After being reminded by the mountain eagle, the mammoth got off the mountain eagle and recovered its body and said with a smile.
Shanying smiled and said: "Let's send a message to the Chief Manager of Jinshan first, and then we can make detailed plans!"
