Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Chapter 115 Yang Xiuqin, open your eyes

In the original story, Li Yunlong finally chose Zhaojiayu as his residence, and there he married the first partner of his life - Yang Xiuqin.

Although Yang Xiuqin was born as an ordinary woman, Cao Geng still had deep respect for her. If Yang Xiuqin hadn't existed, the Ping'an Geluo Immortal War that affected the direction of the two camps would probably not have broken out, not to mention that the war between the two camps in this world could have ended ahead of time.

Cao Geng murmured in his heart, "Fairy Xiuqin is a beautiful lady with outstanding character. Like Wei Yuanying, they are both pearls that have been missed in the long river of time."

"If I had never come to this world, then everything would be left to fate."

"But now that I'm here, Wei Yuanying's fate has been changed. How can I sit idly by and watch the fate of Fairy Xiuqin?"

Thinking of this, Cao Geng felt something in his heart.

At this moment, Li Yunlong immediately spoke:

"Now, according to accurate spiritual information, the Japanese pirates from the demon tribe have already arrived here."

He pointed at the map and said repeatedly: "The enemy closest to our Xuanyi Sect's New First Regiment's base is the Japanese pirates' Fourth Demon Army!"

Li Yunlong's intention was to order the more than 5,000 disciples of the New 1st Regiment to stop the entire Fourth Demon Army of the Japanese pirates and buy precious time for the main force of our Eight Desolate monks to retreat.

However, as for the strength of the Japanese pirates' Fourth Demon Army, even any disciple in the New First Group knew that it was extremely fierce...

In the past, in the battle of Cangqiong Ridge, a night combat detachment under the command of Demon General Sakata, which was completely destroyed by the New 1st Regiment, was from the Fourth Demon Army of the Japanese pirates.

As a result, a deep hatred had already formed between the Japanese pirates' Fourth Demon Army and the New First Regiment.

When the Fourth Demon Army encountered a new group of Eight Desolate Monks, it was already obvious how the two sides would fight.

Realizing this, Cao Dabiao and Shen Quan felt heavy in their hearts and under tremendous pressure.

I'm afraid that the New 1st Regiment is destined to experience a bloody battle in this first battle against the massive invasion of Japanese pirates.

"Even though the Japanese pirates' Fourth Demon Army is far superior to our New First Regiment in terms of both numbers and magic weapons."

"It seems impossible to fight against an entire brigade of enemies with only the strength of one regiment..."

“But I’m still going to say it.”

Li Yunlong pursed his lips and said firmly:

"A month ago, Cao Geng was in the Xiaweidi secret realm. With only one battalion of disciples, he resisted the attack of an entire brigade of Japanese pirates for ten hours, and was not completely destroyed."

"Now, all the disciples of my New First Regiment have gathered together. We don't expect to fight to the death with the Japanese pirates' Fourth Demon Army, but we just need to delay them for forty-eight hours. Is this an impossible task for us?"

His eyes swept over Cao Geng and others as sharply as an eagle, and Cao Dabiao and Shen Quan felt endless faith from the bottom of their hearts.

"Captain, please rest assured. In this battle, even if it costs us our lives, we must hold out for forty-eight hours to stop the Japanese pirates' Fourth Demon Army!"

"Captain, please give the order to deploy the troops and fight."

Cao Dabiao and Shen Quan spoke one after another. At this moment, they remembered the spirit of the New 1st Regiment's Sword-drawing Spirit - when two brave men meet on a narrow road, only the brave can win!

Although the Japanese pirates are also mortals, they have shoulders and heads. How is that different from the disciples of my new regiment? Just one more evil thought?

Indeed, in this battle, the Japanese pirates were more powerful than the New First Regiment in terms of numbers and magic weapons and equipment.

However, in this battle, our New 1st Regiment only needs to successfully contain the Japanese pirates' Fourth Demon Army for forty-eight hours to achieve its goal.

It was not the final battle with the Ghost Clan's Fourth Black Armor Legion.

They are fully capable of completing this difficult task.

Cao Geng also agreed with this and nodded slightly.

To be honest,

Back then, his Third Xuanwei Battalion had the courage to challenge the First Xuanjia Corps of the Ghost Clan with only two thousand monks.

Today, the new group already has five thousand disciples.

Facing the Fourth Black Armor Legion, they are not without a chance of fighting.

Noticing the determined looks in everyone's eyes, Li Yunlong also nodded in approval.

"Then I will give the order..."

Seeing the ghost tribe's marching team gradually approaching the garrison of the new regiment.

now,

Instead of waiting for the Ghost Clan's First Black Armor Legion to launch an offensive against the New First Regiment, the New First Regiment should take the initiative to attack. As the saying goes, when two men meet in a narrow road, only the brave can win.

This is Li Yunlong's usual combat strategy.

He pointed out the mountains and rivers on the sand table and explained his opinion: "This is exactly the marching path of the ghost army."

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on the sand table in front of Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong ordered: "Cao Dabiao, you lead the monks of the First Xuanwei Battalion, together with the 1,200 personal guard monks I have, to resist the ghost clan's First Xuanjia Corps from the front!"

Since they have to resist the complete First Black Armor Legion of the Ghost Clan, the New 1st Regiment does not need to disperse its forces, but only needs to engage in a large-scale camp confrontation with the enemy.

In this way, when the ghost clan discovers that a huge army of Eight Desolate Cultivators is confronting them head-on, they will naturally be eager to defeat this army of cultivators.

In this way, the ghost army will be detained at a key point of its planned marching route due to the distraction of the new regiment.

Cao Dabiao had no objection to the order and responded decisively: "Yes, sir!"

He said ambitiously: "In this way, there will be nearly 3,000 cultivators facing the enemy head-on! Compared with the battle at Cangqiong Ridge three months ago, the scale of the battle we are engaging in this time is undoubtedly much larger."

Li Yunlong immediately nodded happily: "That's right."

"Three months ago, at Cangqiong Ridge, we only had 800 monks and forced the Sakata Regiment to hold out for half a month. Now, the New 1st Regiment has more than 3,000 frontal combat troops, which is enough to clamp down on the Japanese 4th Brigade."

"Whether it's the ratio of the number of participants or the magic weapons and logistical resources we are equipped with, we are stronger than we were three months ago."

"So, what do we have to fear?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Cao Dabiao and others burst into laughter, and the pressure was instantly relieved a lot.

However, although we should despise the enemy strategically, we must take the enemy seriously tactically. This point cannot be ignored.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong turned his gaze to Shen Quan.

"Shen Quan, you have a lot of light and heavy mechanical weapons in your hands. It would be best if you could go around to the side and rear of the ghost tribe, occupy the advantageous terrain, and deal a fatal blow to their waist defense line."

Shen Quan's Second Xuanwei Battalion has a wealth of light and heavy mechanical magic weapons, which is undoubtedly more suitable for occupying advantageous terrain and launching fierce attacks on the ghost tribe's marching troops.

Upon hearing the order, Shen Quan agreed without hesitation.

Finally, Li Yunlong turned his attention to Cao Geng...
