Volume 2 Chapter 49: The Cloth Sack Formation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

  The entrance to the cave is narrow outside and wide inside, like a triangle that gets wider and wider. What's even more wonderful is that about fifty or so steps away from the entrance, there is a circular earthen wall in an arc shape, which is probably a defensive fortification for wild evil eyes.

  The earth wall is solid, not high or short, and the evil eye can hide its shadow and avoid the enemy's long-range attack by squatting down. Standing up again, it can just see the situation in front of it clearly. If a large number of evil eyes are buried here, even if the invading demons are very powerful, they will probably have difficulty attacking for a while.

  After observing the terrain inside the cave, Yang Ling secretly called himself lucky. If it weren't for the evil eye army sneaking in and controlling each high point, quickly killing the high-level wild evil eyes responsible for commanding after the battle began, he probably wouldn't have been able to easily break in.

  Yang Ling gave the order, and the evil eye army led by the evil eye general hid behind the earthen wall. Looking at the triangular cave that was getting wider and wider, and then looking at the more than 200 red-haired wolf spiders that were protecting him closely, Yang Ling's heart moved, thinking of the famous "bag array" in ambush warfare, and recalling some historical anecdotes he had read in his spare time in college.

  The cloth bag formation, as the name suggests, is to lay out a net of heaven and earth, lure the enemy army into the ambush formation, and then suddenly attack from three sides, raiding the unguarded enemy army, and encircling the enemy's rear.

  During the Liberation War period, several famous gunnysack battles took place domestically.

  On July 2, 1935, the Red Twenty-fifth Army rushed to Yuanjiagou Village in Shanyang County and ambushed the surrounding mountains, annihilating the pursuing enemy Shaanxi First Security Brigade. More than 300 enemy soldiers were killed or wounded, including the regimental commander, and more than 1,400 enemies were captured, including Brigade Commander Tang Siguang. They also seized over 40 light and heavy machine guns, more than 1,600 long and short guns, achieving a complete victory.

  The ambush of the cloth bag is not only successful in ambush, but also more importantly, it must have sufficient firepower. Otherwise, if the enemy army concentrates its full force to break through the formation, it will only be clever and the consequences are unbearable!

  After the Battle of Midway in World War II, the US military began to advance towards mainland Japan, with both sides vying for control of some key islands. In some places, back-and-forth battles were even staged.

  There were several times when the US military controlled the island with superior forces and laid down a bagua formation to ambush the Japanese army's strong attack. Unfortunately, due to the dispersion of troops and firepower, not only could they not heavily damage the enemy, but they were also pierced by the Japanese army in a frantic jump over the wall, turning cleverness into clumsiness.

  Drawing lessons from history, Yang Ling prepared to deploy heavy troops in the center of the wall and calmly command the demon beast army's actions.

  After the Angle Worm Beast was defeated, the withered wood warriors retreated. Then, they gradually withdrew the spider army led by the Wolf Spider King. They were ordered to retreat and ambush along the cave wall, waiting for the large group of Stone Statue Ghosts to fall into the trap before suddenly emerging from underground to encircle them from behind.

  After withdrawing most of the spiders, under Yang Ling's command, the horned beasts also began to retreat in batches. Pretending to be unable to withstand, they slowly lured the large group of stone statue devils who were pursuing them relentlessly into the encirclement.

  Under the heavy losses, seeing that the opponent was no match, the stone statue relentlessly pursued. The tide surged in. As a mid-level demon of the fourth level, their individual combat power far surpassed that of the second-level hornet beast and wolf spider. If it weren't for the mountain cave being easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it weren't for the hornet beast and spider fighting tenaciously together, they would have attacked long ago.

  In a frenzy, the stone statue beast lost its due vigilance and calmness, and unknowingly stepped into a piece of dead land. Without the obstruction of the hornet beasts and spider army, in the blink of an eye, they swarmed in like a swarm of bees, densely packed in a large area. Preliminary observation showed that there were at least over a thousand of them.

  Thirty steps, twenty-five steps. Twenty steps...

  Looking at the stone statues that were closing in on him with incredible speed, Yang Ling's palms were sweating profusely. He gritted his teeth and decided to wait for a moment longer. If he didn't move, then so be it; but if he did, he would go all out and make sure to take down his opponent with one swift blow.

  The incoming Golems are numerous and attack fiercely. If the demonic army retreats without a fight, even if riding on a high-level demonic beast like the Unicorn, it's likely to be difficult to kill all the way out; if commanding the demonic army to force a breakthrough, even if one is lucky enough to break through, the demonic army will suffer heavy losses. In that case, why not just take a gamble?

  Go big, go all in!

  In this battle, he put all his eggs in the Evil Eye Tyrant's army. As long as the ambushing Evil Eyes could take out the enemy's elite troops, and the front-line troops could withstand the enemy's fierce attack, the pincer spiders and hornet beasts would be able to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's main force. Only then could the advantages of the bag formation be fully utilized.

  Success is permitted, failure is not!

  As he gazed at the approaching Stone Golems, Yang Ling swiftly placed various talismans in front of him. In this battle, he had brought out all his treasured items that he had been saving for a rainy day. He had originally intended to use these talismans to counter Stov's Black Armor Army, but unexpectedly, they were now proving to be extremely useful.

  In large-scale battles, the effects of powerful talismans such as 'Palm Thunder' and 'Thunder Cannon' will definitely be good. As for spiritual attack talismans like 'Dolphin Sound', I believe they can also unexpectedly disrupt the enemy's military.

  When there were only ten steps left in the distance, just as the stone statue ghost accelerated again and was about to attack, Yang Ling gave a decisive order to attack.

  In an instant, under the command of the evil eye violent ruler, the accumulated evil eyes flew up one after another. After a blinding flash of light, a dense hail of light bullets fell onto the rushing stone statue ghosts, heavily defeating the enemy's vanguard troops.

  Defenseless, the stone statue ghosts rushed over and were hit one after another, closing their painful eyes involuntarily as they were struck down by the dense beam of evil eye. The guys in the back saw that things were not going well, so they accelerated again, trying to rush up before the third wave of evil eye attacks arrived.

  Even if they evolve to the third stage, the evil eye's attack still has a certain interval; the withered wood warrior is wearing a sturdy tree armor, and the attack is sharp, but unfortunately, the movement is slow and can't block the enemy army as fast as lightning. The hornet beast and spider army are good at attacking and defending, but unfortunately, the stone statue ghost has not yet entered the pocket array, and it's not time for them to strike.

  The situation is extremely critical at this moment. If we can't stop the enemy's surprise attack, the consequences will be unthinkable!

  At the critical moment, Yang Ling and the Unicorn took action.

  Yang Ling quickly threw out a series of powerful talismans, including "Palm Thunder" and "Thunder Cannon", summoning waves of thunder that heavily struck the stone statue ghosts like hand grenades.

  If the "Palm Thunder" talisman made the stone statue monsters suffer, then the "Dolphin Sound" talisman was even more beyond their expectations. After a sharp wave of sound waves, the incoming stone statue monsters let out a series of miserable cries, as if their heads had been smashed by a large iron hammer. Some of them stumbled, some ran around randomly, and some even fell down with a "bang bang bang" sound.

  Yang Ling's attack was powerful, but compared to the unicorn, it was still small magic seeing big magic. After a roar, this eighth-order demon beast suddenly emitted thick snake-shaped lightning bolts, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a three-dimensional ultra-high-pressure electric net. Within the range of the electric net, the stone statue ghosts were electrocuted into charcoal, falling to the ground like raindrops.

  One man, one beast, the instantaneous burst of super-strong firepower left the enemy unprepared, and firmly withstood the opponent's first wave of strong attack.

  ******

  After being heavily hit by Yang Ling and the Unicorn, the Stone Golems that were attacking the front of the wall turned around one after another, preparing to attack the opponent's weak right flank. If they get entangled with them, the slow-moving and low-defensive Evil Eyes will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

  Quick! The speed of the stone statue is really too fast!

  Just as the opponent suddenly changed direction, concentrated attack on the right side, let alone Yang Ling, even the Unicorn couldn't come to the rescue in time. If they were torn apart by their defense line, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  At the critical moment, Evil Eye suddenly stood up and let out a loud roar, then shot out a barrage of light bullets like a machine gun. What's even more astonishing is that the light bullets split into two after being fired, followed by two becoming four, four becoming eight..., rapidly splitting non-stop, sweeping away the Stone Golems at an incredible speed.

  Grenade?

  Watching the evil eye's incredibly powerful ability, Yang Ling was overjoyed and thought that after all this hard work, he had finally gotten a return. If this evil eye couldn't even produce one fart, then the consumption of crystal nuclei, witch power, and life energy would really be too unworthy.

  The splitting light ball not only has a huge power, but also adds a paralysis attack. After being hit, the stone statue ghost can't even breathe, let alone attack, and falls to the ground weakly.

  After reacting, the Gargoyle constantly changed direction, trying to shake off the Evil Eye King's photon bullets with its exquisite flight skills and ultra-high speed. However, another unexpected event occurred.

  After a loud roar, the only eye of Evil Eye Baojun emitted strands of red light. Within the range enveloped by the red light, the explosive shells actually changed direction automatically and chased after the dodging Stone Golems like lightning.

  Sidewinder missile?

  Looking at the auto-tracking explosive shell, Yang Ling was shocked again. He didn't expect that Evil Eye Violent King actually possessed such a terrifying ability. It seems that after devouring a large number of crystal nuclei, witch power and life energy, an unimaginable mutation occurred on its body. Not to mention anything else, it's at least much stronger than the Wolf Spider King, which is also a fourth-order demon beast.

  After repelling the Stone Statue Ghost's fierce attack, Evil Eye Overlord's face turned pale, and the speed of firing energy bullets became slower and slower. Even his body floating in mid-air was swaying precariously. It seems that although the explosive bullet and auto-tracking ability are extremely powerful, they also consume a huge amount of magic power and physical strength, and cannot be sustained!

  Although the evil eye burst only lasted for a short while, it was enough to buy precious time for the rest of the evil eyes. With the evil eye army's attack, the stone statue was heavily damaged once again.

  A moth flies into the flame and brings about its own destruction!

  As the fire was almost ripe, Yang Ling ordered the horned beasts and spider army that had been ambushing to launch a full-scale attack, encircling the enemy's rear. Under the joint attack of the demon beast army in the empty land, under their repeated encirclement, the stone statue ghost who broke into the encirclement was already gone.
