Chapter 110 Hidden in the bushes, the family reappears
When the monks sent by Li Yunlong from the New Regiment to patrol the area learned from the villagers about the misfortune that Cao Geng and his subordinates had suffered before, everyone felt a sense of nervousness.
"Is there such a thing?"
"So not long ago, this Diweidi Village was besieged by a group of Japanese demons?"
"After ten hours of tenacious resistance, the monks of the Third Battalion of our New First Regiment suffered heavy casualties?"
"Afterwards, for unknown reasons, all the monks of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment evacuated the camp, and their whereabouts became a mystery?"
Little did they know, the villagers of Xiaweidi Village were unaware that long before the First Brigade of the Demon Clan attacked Xiaweidi Village, Cao Geng had already led his troops to act quietly and quickly mobilized the army to attack the strategic pass of the Zhengtai Spiritual Vein.
So, after the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment suffered fierce attacks from the First Brigade of the Demon Tribe for ten consecutive hours, the villagers saw that the camp was in ruins and thought that the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment had suffered heavy casualties.
They did not know that the troops that had been holding out in Xiaweidi Village and fighting fiercely with the First Brigade of the Demon Clan for ten hours were actually a company under Cao Geng.
As for the uproar that Cao Geng caused in northwestern Shanxi after leading the main force of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment to blast through the Zhengtai spiritual vein, the villagers naturally had no idea about it.
It was at this moment that a new group of monks sent by Li Yunlong for patrol heard the news, but they all looked helpless because the intelligence they obtained was limited.
Earlier, when the battalions of the New 1st Regiment were dispersed, they knew that the regiment commander Li Yunlong had high hopes for the recruitment and development of the New 1st Regiment's Third Battalion. After all, two months ago, when the battalions were just divided, under the leadership of Battalion Commander Cao Geng, the New 1st Regiment's Third Battalion had won a great start for the entire regiment.
According to the expectations of the regiment commander Li Yunlong, since the division of the camps until today, the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment, under the command of Battalion Commander Cao Geng, should be able to recruit at least 700 monks, even if it cannot be said to have expanded to a thousand people.
However, things are unpredictable. Just a few days ago, the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment was besieged by the First Brigade of the Demon Clan for ten years!
Under such circumstances, how could there be any survivors from the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment?
This was indeed the case. When the villagers of Xiaweidi Village discovered that the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment had abandoned its base and left, they realized that their regiment's original expectation that the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment would be able to recruit a sufficient number of monks was now likely to be dashed.
"Alas, I was expecting the Third Battalion to bring some surprises to the regiment under the leadership of Battalion Commander Cao Geng! Now it seems that we can no longer count on them. Let's go check out the station of the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment first!"
……
The leader of the monk team sent by Li Xuantong to inspect the camp said to his colleagues:
"It seems that this is the only way to do it!"
The others could only nod in agreement, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
Then, the monks no longer hesitated, and jumped onto the divine horses. Then, they waved their magic whips and drove their mounts towards the newly built training base of the second battalion of the first regiment.
now,
Just as the patrolling monks sent by Li Xuantong were leaving Xiaweidi Village with frustration,
At this moment in Black Cloud Peak, Cao Ling has led his disciples to organize all the cultivation resources of the entire Black Cloud Peak.
Not only that, Cao Ling and his men also educated and persuaded most of the evil cultivators in Black Cloud Peak to surrender.
at first,
It is true that there are a few evil cultivators in Black Cloud Peak who are not convinced by the constraints imposed by Cao Ling and his group.
Cao Ling did not say much about this situation. He directly ordered Wei Yuanqing, who was accompanying him, to take action on his behalf to clean up the sect and eliminate those stubborn evil practitioners one by one.
After several evil cultivators with strong personalities fell,
quickly,
Most of the evil cultivators in Black Cloud Peak recognized the situation and wisely chose to surrender.
The original 200+ evil cultivators,
After Cao Ling's rectification,
His personal guard was also greatly expanded.
Originally, there were only a hundred monks in the team.
At this moment, the number of people under Cao Ling's command has expanded to more than 300 people.
At the same time, the cultivation resources stored in Black Cloud Peak naturally also belonged to Cao Ling.
It is worth mentioning that the cultivation resources in Black Cloud Peak are quite abundant.
After Cao Ling checked the storage of Black Cloud Peak, he couldn't help but marvel at it.
"These are enough to equip a reinforced battalion."
Cao Ling couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the mountains of magic weapons and spiritual materials in front of him.
There are many fine armors, cantaloupe bombs and various magic weapons left by the Japanese invaders.
Even heavy offensive and defensive equipment such as mortars and catapults are stored in Black Cloud Peak.
In fact, it’s no wonder that Cao Ling was so surprised.
After all, any mountain stronghold with a total population of less than 200 people but possessing enough supplies and treasures to arm a reinforced battalion is truly astonishingly wealthy.
Fortunately, this time, the group that Black Cloud Peak encountered was Cao Ling's training team.
Otherwise, even if the enemy sent a whole battalion of powerful cultivators,
I'm afraid we won't be able to gain any advantage from Black Cloud Peak.
"Where are your first and second in command?"
Immediately afterwards, after Cao Ling led Wei Yuanqing and others to recruit this group of evil cultivators from Black Cloud Peak, he immediately asked them about the whereabouts of Xie Baoyu, Shan Baozi and others.
Those evil cultivators had already been intimidated by Cao Ling and his men's majesty, and said tremblingly: "My Lord, please be merciful. My first and second chiefs led more than 50 brothers out for training today, so they are not in the village!"
They were already frightened by this disciplined yet ruthless army of cultivators.
However, Cao Ling ignored the fear of these evil cultivators.
“When will they be able to return?”
Many evil cultivators quickly replied:
"Based on the usual situation, the first and second in command should have returned by now!"
Are you coming back now?
...
Cao Geng and Wei Xuanji both showed surprise on their faces.
Obviously, this happened so suddenly that the two had no warning.
However, in an instant, their expressions returned to calm.
"understood."
Cao Geng nodded slightly.
It's just an ordinary bandit's nest.
Knowing that Taoist Shanmao and Xie Baoqing were about to return, Cao Geng would certainly not let them go.
Subsequently.
Cao Geng was very familiar with the situation and gave orders to restore the entire Black Cloud Cliff bandit den to its original appearance.
Cao Geng and the monks of the New Third Regiment hid quietly, waiting for the arrival of Taoist Mountain Cat and Xie Baoqing.
As the saying goes, if you want to ambush the enemy, you must first hide in the grass!
Under the pressure from Cao Geng and others, these bandits who had just joined the New Third Regiment did not dare to disobey.
They could only obey Cao Geng's orders and restore the entire Black Cloud Cliff to the state before it was attacked by Cao Geng and others.
So and so.
Not long after.
Xie Baoqing and Taoist Shanmao returned as expected.
