Chapter 154: The leader is shocked and will definitely reward you handsomely
When the leader and the deputy leader learned the news, their eyes suddenly widened, filled with unconcealable horror.
"What? The three key spiritual vein strongholds of the Japanese demon tribe were conquered by the Xinxuan Group and the Independent Group together? How is this possible?"
Both the leader and the deputy leader were confused.
Originally, with the Japanese demon army approaching, even with the help of the Xinxuan Group, the situation of the Independent Group was still worrying.
Both the leader and the deputy leader were worried about the war situation there, believing that it would be difficult to hold the Yangcun Fortress surrounded by heavy troops of the demon clan.
Even people were worried about whether Cao Geng and Ding Wei, the two brave generals in the Eight Desolations Army, would be safe and sound.
However, no one expected that the three major spiritual vein strongholds of the demon clan were attacked, and after investigation, it was found that it was the Xinxuan Group and the Independent Group who were responsible!
"How can this be?"
"Aren't the Xinxuan Group and the Independent Group at the Independent Group's headquarters fortress at the moment, resisting the fierce attack from the two teams of the demon clan? How did they suddenly become involved in the destruction of the three major spiritual vein strongholds of the demon clan?"
"There is also a report from the front line that the Yangcun Fortress was captured by the two demon tribes after resisting for a quarter and a half hours..."
"At the same time, the Yangcun Fortress's defense against the two demon clan coalitions and the battle to destroy the three major demon clan spiritual vein strongholds were actually going on at the same time. How did Cao Geng and Ding Wei, the young generals, defend the Yangcun Fortress while destroying the three major demon clan spiritual vein strongholds in one fell swoop?"
The deputy sect leader's face was filled with shock; this matter was truly unbelievable.
The leader's brows were twisted into a frown. After all, the news that came from Yangcun Fortress said that although the Xinxuan Regiment and the Independent Regiment were exhausted, they still stubbornly defended for a while when the two demon clan teams attacked.
It was originally thought that Cao Geng and Ding Wei would hold on to the Independent Regiment Fortress to fight against the demon clan, but the news received now is that when the two demon clan teams attacked the Independent Regiment Fortress, Cao Geng and Ding Wei actually went straight to the key spiritual vein stronghold of the demon clan to attack!
So, if that was the case, how did the Independent Regiment, without the command and dispatch of Cao Geng and Ding Wei, manage to hold back the two demon clan squadrons for a quarter and a half hours at the fortress battlefield?
The leader found this situation unbelievable!
However, since the intelligence department of the Eight Desolations Army reported it to him, it must have gone through multiple rounds of review and screening, and there would definitely not be any false information.
In other words, after fighting one battle after another, Cao Geng and Ding Wei not only successfully tied down the two demon clan teams for a quarter and a half hours, but also destroyed the three most important spiritual vein strongholds of the demon clan in the northern Shanxi territory in one fell swoop!
Realizing this fact, the leader was even more surprised.
Even he, the leader of the alliance, had to admire the fighting effectiveness of Cao Geng and Ding Wei.
"So, how did these two young men manage to do all this?" The deputy sect leader was still deeply confused.
"I never expected that we had underestimated this young cultivator Cao Geng." The old sect leader couldn't help but sigh.
"Hmm?" The deputy sect elder has not yet understood the deep meaning of the old sect leader's words.
The original matter was planned jointly by Cao Geng and Ding Li, two fellow disciples. However, the old sect leader specifically mentioned Cao Geng's name. Why?
The old sect leader smiled and explained, "In fact, I speculate that the move of New Three Peaks and Independent Peak to jointly raid the demon clan's supply base was the result of Cao Geng's ingenious plan."
"Compared to Cao Geng, Ding Li's style of doing things is more calm and steady. Cao Geng, on the other hand, is better at using the strategy of using surprising troops!"
The deputy sect elder thought about it carefully and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Yes, compared to Ding Li's known for his steady action style, Cao Geng is indeed more like Li Xuanlong, who always makes people feel his unexpected tactical layout.
However, compared to Li Xuanlong, Cao Geng possesses the unique temperament of a talented general rarely seen on the battlefield.
"So, this matter was really done by Cao Geng?"
The deputy sect elder was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.
Before this, although they had heard something about it and guessed that this matter might be related to Cao Geng, they did not dare to be sure at that time. Who knew that the intelligence came that this matter might indeed be led by Cao Geng.
"I'm just speculating." The old sect leader shook his head and said nothing more.
No matter what, the combined efforts of Cao Geng and Ding Li did accomplish something earth-shattering.
At this moment, the old master thought of another thing...
In his opinion, whether it was Cao Geng’s New Three Peaks or Ding Li’s Independent Peak, they had all experienced brutal life-and-death struggles before this battle.
On the eve of this decisive battle, their troops had already suffered heavy losses.
In this severe situation.
When faced with the strong attack from the coalition forces of the two demon tribes, Cao Geng and Ding Li still firmly decided to split their forces into two groups, heading directly for the important supply bases of the demon tribe, and adopting a guerrilla strategy to go all out.
All this can only prove:
At that time, both the New Three Peaks and the Independent Peak had fallen into a desperate situation. They realized that they were completely unable to withstand the offensive of the other two tribes by confronting the demon coalition's positional warfare head-on.
It would be better to take a gamble, give it a try, and directly attack the demon clan’s supply base.
Once successful, it will not only contain the demon army's pace of advance, but also greatly slow down the demon clan's sweeping operations in the entire Jinxi wasteland area...
"However, what neither Ding Li nor Cao Geng could have foreseen was that the few garrison forces left at the Independent Peak actually held back the combined forces of the two demon tribes for nearly an hour and a half. At the same time, Ding Li and Cao Geng also achieved a significant victory in the fierce battle at the demon supply base."
The old sect leader couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
The deputy sect elder certainly understood the old sect leader's intentions.
He thought, if Cao Geng and Ding Li had other options, they would definitely not resort to attacking the key supply bases of the demon tribe to delay the demon army's pursuit of the main forces of the Eight Desolate Alliance...
