Chapter 143: Choosing a Road, 4 Counties
Cao Geng's words seemed to contain the secrets of heaven and earth, making them irresistible. As Cao Geng finished speaking, both Ding Wei and Zhao Gang showed signs of deep thought.
It must be admitted that Cao Geng's last words shocked Zhao Gang and Ding Wei. If their two teams could really capture the demon supply fortress, they would not only be able to slow down the demon army, but if they were lucky enough to seize the demon equipment, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity. Whether it was the independent regiment led by Ding Wei or the new third regiment led by Cao Geng, they would both obtain a large amount of spiritual materials to fight against the demon forces.
After all, those were the supplies and strategic treasures that the demons were trying to plunder across the entire northwest of Shanxi! Once they destroyed one of the demon supply fortresses, the supplies and strategic resources hidden inside would be enough to arm an entire Eighth Route Army of Cultivators!
Moreover, Cao Geng has clearly analyzed the various possibilities and pros and cons of the independent regiment's subsequent actions, whether to choose to stick to Yang Village or to destroy the demon supply fortress with him. If they continue to stay put and stick to Yang Village, then the independent regiment may face an endless life-and-death struggle in the future!
Now there are only about 200 people left in the independent regiment. Under such circumstances, even if the demons come with a large army next time, once they attack Yangcun, the fate of the independent regiment soldiers who stay behind to defend against the enemy is unpredictable, and they are afraid of disaster. Even the head of the independent regiment, Ding Wei, is determined to die and stick to Yangcun. If the independent regiment really meets the demons, how can it have a good ending?
However, if you choose to follow Cao Geng to attack the demon's supply fortress in the northwest of Shanxi, it is another matter. Although this move is also full of dangers and the chance of survival is very small. But once one of them is successfully destroyed, huge risks will inevitably be accompanied by huge benefits. By then, the demon army that is rampant in the northwest of Shanxi will not only have to go back to rescue the supply fortress, but will also be unable to effectively pursue the evacuated main force of the Eighth Route Army.
The evil Japanese bandits continue to attempt to wipe out the Chinese Tianjiao forces in the fairyland in northwest Shanxi, but their offensive is already showing signs of fatigue.
It can be said that the strategic significance of destroying the spiritual vein supply base of the Japanese pirates far exceeds the Jade Ding Group's move to guard the Yangcun Fairy Village with more than 200 monks.
This move can be said to kill three birds with one stone!
"Captain, what do you think?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Gang stared at Ding Wei and couldn't help asking.
To be honest, he was already shaken.
No matter what, this trip is to assist the main force of our Eight Desolate Immortal Army to contain the power of the evil Japanese pirates.
Rather than letting the disciples of the Yuding Group be trapped in Yangcun Xianzhai and wait for death,
It would be better to send them directly to attack the spiritual vein supply base of the Japanese pirates and launch a thundering attack.
In this way, the effects that the two can achieve are the same - both can successfully contain the army of the Japanese pirates.
But by chance they were lucky enough to capture all the spiritual vein supply bases of the Japanese pirates in the northwest of Shanxi.
Then, the Yuding Group will surely gain tremendous opportunities and glory.
At this moment, Ding Wei also pondered for a moment.
His eyes turned to Cao Geng.
“Whether it’s the Yuding Group defending the Yangcun Immortal Village and waging a fortress battle against the Japanese pirates, or following our Xinxuan Group to secretly sneak into the Japanese pirates’ spiritual vein supply base and launch a surprise guerrilla war, our ultimate goal is always to assist the main force of our immortal army to effectively contain the powerful forces of the Japanese pirates!”
"To be honest, before your captain Cao Geng appeared in the world, if we wanted our Yuding Group to contain the rampant pace of the devilish Japanese bandits, our Yuding Group could only choose to hold on to the Yangcun Immortal Village until the last moment..."
"But that's not the case now!"
"Now, following your Xinxuan Group to attack the spiritual vein supply base of the Demonic Japanese pirates is obviously more effective in containing the enemy's forces than for us to stay in Yangcun Xianzhai. Since we have a better way to contain the Demonic Japanese pirates, why not do it!"
Ding Wei and Zhao Gang had the same idea.
After all, there are dangers everywhere.
If they are lucky enough to seize a spiritual vein supply base of the Japanese pirates,
Then even if the Yuding Group were wiped out, it could be said that they died a worthy death.
Hearing what Ding Wei and Zhao Gang said, a satisfied smile appeared on Cao Geng's lips.
In this way, it is a win-win situation for both the Yuding Group and the Xinxuan Group.
The Yuding Group was able to fulfill its mission and successfully contain the Japanese pirates, buying precious time for the main force of the Eight Desolate Immortal Army.
Cao Geng was also able to complete the strategic goals of the next stage that he had planned.
"Since the decision has been made, our two regiments will take action immediately! Time is of the essence, and we must march to the spiritual vein supply base of the Japanese pirates immediately!"
After he finished speaking, Cao Geng waved his hand.
Zhao Gang and Ding Wei did not hesitate and immediately began to mobilize troops.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Geng, Zhao Gang and Ding Wei jointly planned the detailed tactical deployment.
The two groups had a total of more than 400 cultivators, and they immediately split into several groups.
Then they each headed towards the several spiritual vein supply bases of the Japanese pirates as shown on the map in Cao Geng's hand.
……
In the northwest of Shanxi, west of the Nether Mountain Range, there are four major ghost strongholds, namely Lingzao City, Jianzhou Ancient City, Fengliang City, and Zhuanghongguan. After Cao Jin and Chu Yunduan successively conquered Huaiyi City, Huaian City, and Huairong City of the ghost clan, these places became the key fortresses for the ghost clan to hold on tenaciously.
Although these four strongholds do not have a geographical advantage over the previous Huairong City and Huaian City, they cleverly form the four corners of the northwest of Shanxi. No matter where the ghost tribe launches a large-scale invasion from, these strongholds can ensure that their cultivation resources and military supplies can be replenished in a timely and effective manner.
Although Cao Jin only had over 200 monks under his command, even if Ding Wei and Zhao Gang's two sect disciples were included, the total force was only about 400. However, facing these four strongholds, Cao Jin's initial combat goal was to destroy them as completely as possible.
In his opinion, most of the ghost tribe's troops are currently carrying out a large-scale cleanup mission outside the domain. Once he and the disciples of the New Three Sects and the Independent Sect led by Ding Wei and Zhao Gang are able to launch surprise attacks and strike quickly when raiding the ghost tribe's strongholds, the opportunity to seize these ghost tribe's supply bases will not be out of reach.
