Chapter 258: The Grand Canyon

"Okay, then we will decide to set off on time tomorrow morning, and strive to enter the territory of the Boundary South Divine State for thirty miles tomorrow." Jin Shan concluded.

"Yes, follow the orders of the Governor!" Marshal Crocodile, Huangshan, Pingtou King, Brown Horse Ancestor, and Zebra Ancestor said in unison.

When the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 9th armies besieged the invasion team of the Southern State of the Annihilation Realm, the rabbit led the fifth, sixth, and tenth armies to attack the Haiyang State team that had invaded the Northern Divine State.

This is the place where the grassland and the beach meet, the terrain is relatively complex, and it is also the key area for the Northern Divine State to defend against the attack of the Haiyang State.

The border between the Northern Shenbang and the Haiyang Shenbang is more than 90 li, the east is more than 70 li of the beach, which is composed of sand dunes, sandy beaches and waterholes, and the west is more than 20 li of the beach and the meadow zone, which is crisscrossed by canyons, deep ravines, grasslands, hills and steep slopes.

The Rabbit placed the 10th Army led by Crocodile to the east of the beach range, the 6th Army led by Mammoth to the west of the meadow range, and the 5th Army led by Black Skin as the main force to advance to the southern border.

The Second and Third Armies led by General Turtle and Xiong Li responded on the beach to the east and approached the invading forces of Haiyang State step by step.

The rabbit originally wanted to find the main force of Haiyang State for a decisive battle, but Haiyang State divided the invasion team into pieces, and arranged more than ten teams according to the terrain and terrain on the ground of more than 90 miles on the border between the two states, their purpose was to gradually encroach on the Northern God State and slowly expand their borders to the north.

According to the intelligence, Rabbit knew that each team in Haiyang State had nearly a thousand soldiers, which was about the same as an army in the Northern Divine State.

In order to be able to quickly defeat Hai Duong State and not be entangled by any of the troops of Hai Duong State, Rabbit decided to combine the Fifth, Sixth and Tenth Armies immediately after the initial advance of each army, concentrate superior forces and continue to advance.

He also sent a message to General Gui and Xiong Li, asking them to unite their two armies to prevent the entanglement and siege of Haiyang Bang's troops.

The rabbit's idea was that since Hai Duong Bang's troops were scattered in military units, then we would concentrate our superior forces, look for them one by one, and break them one by one.

To this end, he sent responsible commanders such as the Python Emperor and Madara Shou to lead a distinctive brigade to conduct reconnaissance.

The Python Emperor led the first team to conduct a careful search on the meadow, and soon found a team of Haiyang Bang in a meadow hill.

With the complex meadows and hills, this team advanced from the border of the two states to the territory of the Northern Divine State for more than thirty miles, and was less than thirty miles away from the Northern City, approaching the capital of the Northern Divine State like a sharp knife.

When the rabbit heard the news, he was shocked.

The fact that the team of Haiyang Bang was so fast and so close to Northern City, the capital of the Northern Divine State, had never been discovered or heard of before, made the rabbit deeply feel the crisis and began to take precautions against this situation.

Rabbit immediately informed Crocodile to lead the Tenth Army from the east, Mammoth to lead the Sixth Army to attack from the west, and Blackskin to lead the Fifth Army to resist in the north, demanding that this invader penetrate deep into the Northern Divine State be completely annihilated.

And after the Python Emperor passed on the news, he immediately started a sneak attack on the vanguard team of Haiyang State.

He divided the first brigade he led into five groups and attacked simultaneously from five directions.

When the enemy organized superior forces to come to the siege, they immediately hid again.

According to the Python Emperor, you fight yours, I fight mine, if you win, you will fight, if you can't win, you will leave, just drag the enemy in this place.

His purpose in doing so was to hold back the enemy and wait for a large army to come and encircle him.

An hour later, the Sixth Army led by the mammoth came from the west, and Heimao, Xiongdi, and Xiong Tian immediately led their brigade to join the battle, and the team of 500 black bears charged ahead, and more than 200 elephants also rushed forward.

The Sixth Army was powerful and skillful in formation, and soon crushed the western defense of Hai Duong Bang's troops.

At this time, the 10th Army led by Crocodile Duo rushed from the east and rushed into the eastern defense line of Haiyang Bang's team, causing Haiyang Bang's team to be in chaos.

The Fifth Army led by Heipi also pressed over from the north and completely surrounded the Haiyang Bang army.

Half an hour later, the Northern Divine Army annihilated all the vanguard teams of Haiyang State with a superior force of three to one.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Rabbit concluded: "This battle relied on superior forces and fast movement. Of course, the enemy's lone depth was also a factor in their defeat. We must seize such an opportunity, and if we do not fight, we will only do it, and if we fight, we will destroy all the enemies. ”

Based on the experience of this battle, the rabbit retreated the fifth, sixth, and tenth armies of the Northern Divine State back to the northern city, and stationed them in the name of defending the northern city.

But in the dark, he sent more reconnaissance teams, constantly looking for the traces and garrison locations of Haiyang Bang's team, seeking another opportunity to encircle and annihilate.

The purpose of the Haiyang Divine State is to occupy the land of the Northern Divine State, and as the number of places occupied, the only way to do this is to disperse the existing invading teams or send more troops from within the Haiyang Divine State.

Now, they have lost a team that has penetrated deep into the Northern Divine State, which is equivalent to losing the place occupied by this team, which makes the state lord and the top officials of Haiyang State very uncomfortable.

They wanted to concentrate their forces to fight the Divine Army of the North, but when they withdrew, the place they occupied was gone.

This makes it impossible for them to make a decision quickly.

Just when the high-level leaders of Haiyang Bang were undecided, Rabbit received the news that a team of Haiyang Bang had been discovered.

This time it was discovered by the Spotted Hyena Brigade, which was also captained by Madara, and was one of the main forces of the Fifth Army of the Northern Divine Army.

In order to find the various teams of Haiyang State, Madara led the Madaraguan Brigade to quietly conduct reconnaissance, and finally found this team in a large canyon more than thirty miles south of the northern city.

They found that the mouth of the valley to the north of this Grand Canyon was tightly closed, and it was heavily guarded, which was clearly the Haiyang State team that had invaded the Northern Divine State.

Madara quickly spreads the news to Blackskin and Rabbit.

When the rabbit received the news, he groaned a little, and ordered the black skin, the mammoth, and the crocodile to go straight with the fifth, sixth, and tenth armies, and then ordered General Turtle and Xiong Li to take the second and third armies to the south of the canyon to make a detour to the south of the valley to prevent the rest of the Haiyang State from coming to support.

After sending a message to the rabbit and the black skin, Madara led the team to the other side of the canyon, where the road leading to the south of the canyon was the road to the south, and the two high hills were facing each other, forming a pass in and out of the canyon, which was the only way to enter the northern state from Haiyang State.

Madara carefully observed the pass and found that a small team from Haiyang Bang was guarding it.

He had no choice but to continue south with his team, stopping at the side of the road two miles away from the pass.

Here, the road is wider and the sand dunes on both sides are taller, creating another canyon.

Along this canyon, a dozen miles further south is the territory of Haiyang State.

Madara carefully observed the road in this canyon and saw that this was a necessary road leading to the north of Haiyang State, and there were living beings coming and going every day, so he judged that this should be the main transportation route and resource transportation route for Haiyang Bang's team.

"Hehe, cut off this path and make them turtles in the urn." Thinking of this, Madara immediately sent a message to the rabbit, asking to be able to send heavy troops.

The rabbit originally asked General Turtle and Xiong Li to lead the Second and Fourth Armies to the south of the gorge to prevent other teams from Haiyang State from coming to support.

Now that he received the transmission of Madara, he immediately informed them to contact Madara, who was responsible for cutting off the retreat of Haiyangbang's team.

Madara also took the initiative to contact and told Xiong Li his location and thoughts.

Xiong Li and General Turtle received the order from the rabbit and immediately led the team to the position of Madara.

They had already reached the east side of the Grand Canyon, and the distance between them and Banshou was only seven or eight miles.

Now under the rapid march, it will arrive in less than half an hour.

Xiong Li, Kamesho, and Madara probed carefully again, then ambushed the team on the sand dunes on both sides of the small canyon, and then blocked the southern exit of the small canyon with boulders.

They are going to shut down the door and fight the dogs here, and bury this team of Haiyang Bang in this canyon completely.

The rabbit received the message from the turtle general and knew that the ambush in the small canyon was ready, so he ordered the Fifth, Sixth, and Tenth Armies to attack immediately.

This attack, with the Sixth Army led by the Mammoth as the main attack, began directly at the northern entrance of the Grand Canyon.

The Mammoths arranged for the elephant team of the Sixth Army to charge head-on, with other brigades assisting in the attack from both sides.

The Fifth Army, led by Heipi, attacked from the high hills to the west of the Grand Canyon and killed directly towards the center of Hai Duong Bang's team.

The Tenth Army led by Crocodile attacked from the high hills east of the Grand Canyon and assisted the Sixth Army in opening the entrance to the Grand Canyon from the flank.

The entrance to the Grand Canyon was the focal point of Hai Duong's defenses, and they placed more than half of their forces here.

However, under the personal leadership of the fierce elephants, the elephant team took advantage of its thick skin and meat, strong and durable characteristics and long-nosed long-range attack ability, and killed more than 200 defenders in only three rounds of attacks, and also caused the collapse of the gate at the north entrance of the Grand Canyon and the destruction of most of the defensive positions.

Under these circumstances, the other officers and men of the Sixth Army who had been arranged to assist in the attack on both sides took advantage of the situation and successfully rushed into the Grand Canyon and killed the wounded defenders.

Hei Mao held an iron sword and kept rushing to the front, and the second brigade led by him followed closely behind, Xiong Di and Xiong Tian also led their brigade to march together, inserting into the Grand Canyon like three sharp arrows.

As the northern entrance to the Grand Canyon was breached, the Fifth and Tenth Armies also began to rush down from the high hills on both sides.

Soon, fierce and bloody battles began in the Grand Canyon.

The commander of the Haiyang State team knew that his team was suddenly surrounded, but he did not expect that there would be so many soldiers in the Northern Divine Army who came to surround him.

originally thought that with the terrain it could repel the attack of the northern divine soldiers, but he did not expect that such a strong defense line would be broken through quickly.

He felt sorry, but had to organize a team to resist and retreat.

Seeing the Northern Divine Force, which was three times his size, pressing towards the center of the canyon from the north, east, and west, he had no choice but to order the team to retreat to the south.

Soon, Hai Duongbang's team withdrew from the Grand Canyon and headed south along the road.

The Fifth, Sixth, and Tenth Armies of the Northern Divine Army also pursued closely and chased them out of the Grand Canyon.
