Long Junhai advanced step by step. Although the main force advanced forward, it did not enter the enemy area. Instead, it first repaired the previous defensive formation, added many other traps, and changed the roads and terrain of several fortresses.
At this time, Xue Rengui sent another 3,000 troops across the river, but they disappeared after entering the river.
"It's the same tactics again! I lost before with this tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. I wonder if I can win this time?" The previous candidate felt nervous again when he saw Xue Rengui's tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
Long Junhai smiled and said, "Grand Marshal, how many times are you going to use the same tactic? Is this the only trick you know?"
Xue Rengui smiled and said, "No matter how things change, the essence remains the same. As long as we use it skillfully and win the battle, even if we use it ten thousand times, what harm will it do?"
"That's true. A cat that can catch mice is a good cat, no matter if it's black or white!" Long Junhai took a deep breath and carefully considered the other party's intentions.
In order to prevent Xue Rengui from launching a surprise attack from the water, Long Junhai had already built several defense checkpoints. Although it might not be able to stop the enemy's army, it should be able to stop them for a while. So he did not rush to send reinforcements, but instead separated 3,000 troops from the main force and returned to the base camp to prevent the enemy from attacking again.
In addition, Long Junhai opened up the battle line and advanced forward in a line. The main force had reached the border, and then there were no more actions, just waiting here quietly.
Soon Long Junhai received new news that the defensive formation in the river was destroyed, and the invading enemy troops were about 6,000 in number. They were advancing all the way and were probably going to attack the base camp directly by water!
However, Long Junhai did not choose to recall his troops, because he had 3,000 people defending the base camp, and there were many defensive formations around it. If he just defended, it should not be a problem.
"Why don't you call back your troops? It seems that you have already prepared for defense, or your main forces are all at the front line, and it is too late to call back now?" Xue Rengui asked.
"Haha, Marshal, just make a random guess. I have my own plans." Long Junhai said without moving.
Xue Rengui smiled. He was in a dilemma at the moment because 6,000 troops had been sent out. Judging from Long Junhai's posture, it should be difficult to quickly capture the base camp. Moreover, if he wanted to retreat, it would be a wasted trip. There was no point in attacking the city now. After all, it would not have any effect on the fortress.
After thinking for a moment, Xue Rengui prepared to try a strong attack. If it didn't work, he could still retreat. Six thousand soldiers were not a small number, and he could escape unscathed even if he had to fight against Long Junhai's main force.
So Xue Rengui began to let his troops continue the attack, heading towards Long Junhai's base camp!
Long Junhai was also a little nervous at this moment, because it was too late for the army to recall. Although it was not a big problem for three thousand troops to defend against six thousand troops, he was afraid that Xue Rengui would use other tricks. All he could do now was to stick to the basic principles!
Besides, Long Junhai doesn’t know the situation of the enemy camp now, and doesn’t even know where the enemy’s base camp is. How can he win?
After thinking it over, Long Junhai decided to continue with the strategy of advancing across the board, because it would be easy to find the opponent's gaps. Moreover, with a total of 10,000 troops, the opponent now has a maximum of 2,000 defensive personnel. Even if all of them are guarding the front line, they cannot defend against Long Junhai's troops, and it is even more impossible for them to stretch such a long front line like Long Junhai!
Therefore, Long Junhai's troops swept over like a big net!
"Oh my God! Are they launching a total uprising? How is it possible? The battle line is so long, it will definitely be cut into sections!" Someone said in disbelief.
"No! The possibility of being cut off is not great, because the Grand Marshal's troops are not many left. Two thousand were lost before, and another three thousand went by water. So at the moment, there are at most five thousand troops defending. In comparison, it may hinder General Long's advance speed, but it is absolutely impossible to swallow up all the troops at once!" Some people analyzed based on the battle situation.
In fact, many people don’t know that Xue Rengui has 6,000 troops taking the water route, and there are only about 2,000 troops defending now, and most of them are relatively scattered. Even if they are all gathered together, there will not be any significant effect.
So everyone saw a large amount of white smoke swallowing up the black smoke, and the black smoke presented by the troops who had previously taken the water route also surrounded Long Junhai’s base camp, which meant that both sides had reached a life-and-death moment!
"It's really not easy to reach this level! It seems that General Long's strategy is no less than that of the Grand Marshal!" Some candidates discussed in a low voice.
However, at this moment, only Xue Rengui himself was very clear about his situation, because his main force was severely obstructed and it was difficult to break through Long Junhai's defense for a while, and his own base camp had loose defenses. The decoy troops he had deployed before were the biggest failure, just like a large group of small fish were caught in Long Junhai's net!
Fortunately, Xue Rengui was experienced and chose to retreat and defend at the first moment. Although he lost several hundred people, the remaining more than a thousand people quickly established a defensive formation and laid a large number of traps along the way, hoping to slow down Long Junhai's march as much as possible.
Long Junhai also knew that this was a moment of every second, and it now depended on who could occupy the opponent's base camp first. Generally speaking, he still had a great advantage, because his 3,000 defensive troops were well-rested, while Xue Rengui's more than 1,000 defensive troops were in a panic.
At this time, Long Junhai ordered a strong attack, set up a triangular attack formation, and penetrated into the enemy camp like a steel nail!
As time went on, Long Junhai's chances of winning became greater and greater. His main force attacked the enemy camp. Even the suicide bombings of more than a thousand enemy soldiers could not stop Long Junhai.
"Grand Marshal, you lost!" Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Really? Sometimes it's hard to predict the outcome!"
At this time, Xue Rengui removed the black fog, and the terrain of his troops was revealed. The base camp was breached, and only more than 3,000 troops in the Long Junhai base camp area retreated into the river.
"Didn't you lose? Your base camp has been occupied by me!" Long Junhai said with a smile.
"Some places are called base camps, but they are actually traps." As soon as Xue Rengui finished speaking, a black abyss appeared at the place originally marked as the base camp, sucking all of Long Junhai's main forces in!
"The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons! This! This is the base camp! No wonder!" Long Junhai suddenly realized that for the people in the demon world, there is no such thing as a base camp. The purpose of their existence is to destroy the people in the fairy world. They are fighting not only for territory, but more importantly, for people!
