SEC Chapter 425 A Trap is Coming!
Chapter 425 A Trap is Coming!
The veteran expert concluded, "As long as we launch a few counterattacks like this, even if you leave your camp gates wide open and beg them to harass you, they will absolutely not dare to approach the Qin army camp at night!"
After listening to the experts' complete plan, Zhang Fan and Fu Su, who was sitting next to him, were already experiencing tremendous excitement.
That's awesome!
It feels so good to not have to use my brain!
"Commander!"
Zhang Fan looked at Zhu Feng excitedly, "Please teleport the equipment immediately!"
Zhu Feng nodded slightly and immediately issued the order: "Logistics Department, immediately allocate one hundred military signal guns and five thousand high-intensity magnesium powder parachute flares! Transmit them to Comrade Zhang Fan immediately through the system space!"
"receive!"
Accompanied by instructions from the other end of the phone.
The familiar Cainiao Logistics app immediately popped up on Zhang Fan's phone screen.
[Ding! You have a new interdimensional package. Do you wish to sign for it?]
Without hesitation, Zhang Fan clicked "Sign" to receive the package, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to the top left corner.
[Battery consumption deducted: 3000%]
Remaining battery level: 4900%
My heart... aches terribly for a moment!
The train already used up a lot of electricity, and now it's costing even more!
When will I be able to save it all up again?!
The next second, a bright blue light shone inside the tent.
To Fusu's astonishment, rows of dark green military wooden crates appeared out of thin air in the open space of the camp.
Zhang Fan stepped forward and yanked open the lid of one of the wooden crates.
Inside, signal guns were neatly stacked, along with rows of flares!
Zhang Fan picked up a signal gun, weighed it in his hand, and shook his head helplessly.
The battery drains really fast!
We wouldn't have used teleportation if it weren't for the emergency!
The Qin Dynasty cannot mine magnesium-zinc ore now!
But there is a future!
He turned his head to look at Fusu, his eyes flashing with a sharp killing intent.
"Young master, let's go! Go and summon Commander Meng!"
"Tonight, we're not having roast lamb! We're going to set off fireworks!"
Fusu looked at the signal gun and rows of flares on the ground, his face full of confusion.
He had been well-versed in literature since childhood, but had never heard the term "setting off fireworks".
Although the Qin Dynasty had a custom of burning bamboo during festivals, these strange objects in front of them did not seem to be for amusement at all.
However, seeing Zhang Fan's previous worried expression vanish, replaced by confidence and excitement, Fu Su didn't bother asking any more questions. He quickly tightened his fox fur coat and hurried after Zhang Fan.
Braving the wind and snow, the two quickly arrived at the central command tent.
Meng Tian had just issued the order for the entire army to be on high alert and was preparing to go into battle when he saw Zhang Fan and Fusu enter. He immediately went to greet them.
"Imperial Preceptor, what's wrong with you...?"
Meng Tian looked at the several wooden boxes that the Xuan Bird Guards were carrying in behind Zhang Fan, and his face showed doubt.
Without wasting words, Zhang Fan opened the wooden crate, took out a signal flare, and handed it to Meng Tian: "Commander Meng, tell the brothers outside to stop assembling!"
Tonight, the soldiers in the outer tents will sleep as usual; only sentries need to be stationed in the four directions of the camp.
Meng Tian took the signal flare, its cold, heavy touch revealing its weight: "Grand Preceptor, what is this? If the enemy comes, how can we defend against them with only a hundred men?"
"This is called a flare gun!"
Zhang Fan quickly loaded a flare into the signal gun, pointed to the top of the tent, and said, "Don't the enemy like to disturb people's sleep under the cover of night?"
As soon as you hear the sound of horses' hooves approaching within fifty feet, fire directly into the air without giving a warning!
"Once this thing takes off, night will turn into day!"
The rest, leave to the crossbowmen!
Meng Tian was completely confused. Could he turn night into day?
Who but an immortal could accomplish such earth-shattering feats?
Are wars fought this way with such overpowered tactics these days?
But out of trust, Meng Tian did not ask any further questions. He immediately gathered a hundred elite veterans and personally taught them how to fire the signal gun.
At the same time, 20,000 crossbowmen were mobilized and placed in the shadows, ready to be deployed.
After doing all this, the extra campfires in the Qin camp were extinguished, and the lights became extremely dim, leaving only a few faint flames flickering in the wind and snow.
The rest of the soldiers were already exhausted and asleep!
……
at the same time.
The night was dark.
Five miles away, 30,000 Xiongnu light cavalry advanced.
Luan Diyun rode on a magnificent black horse at the very front, clad in leather armor and with a curved sword at his waist.
The extreme cold had covered her eyebrows with a layer of frost, but her eyes remained bright and spirited.
"Princess, the Qin army's camp is just ahead!"
A Xiongnu cavalryman rode close and reported in a low voice, "The scouts have observed that the Qin army camp is dimly lit, and the patrol teams are half the size of those from last night!"
They look exhausted from all our efforts and have fallen fast asleep!
Luan Diyun reined in his warhorse, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"The Immortal Master's sixteen-character mantra is indeed an unparalleled military strategy for defeating the enemy!" Luan Diyun's admiration for Ji Dan grew even stronger.
What good are the 300,000 heavy troops of the Qin Dynasty?
So what if you're well-equipped?
In this vast snowy night, facing the swift and agile Xiongnu light cavalry, they could only passively take hits like blind men.
"Pass down the order."
Luan Diyun drew his scimitar and pointed forward, "The entire army shall disperse and advance in four directions toward the Qin army camp. When you have advanced to within one mile, the entire army shall simultaneously sound the horns!"
"Two thousand vanguard men, prepare rockets! Fire at their central command tent! Withdraw after you've fired, no lingering!"
"Yes, sir!"
As soon as the order was given, 30,000 light cavalrymen quickly dispersed and moved to encircle the Qin army camp.
One mile.
Half a mile.
The distance is getting closer and closer.
The Qin army camp remained completely still, as if they were oblivious to the situation.
Luan Diyun chose to launch his attack at night because darkness provides the best cover.
In this pitch-black snowy night, even a powerful crossbow becomes like a headless fly, unable to find its target.
"Blow the horn!"
Luan Di Yun shouted loudly.
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, the sound of a bull horn rang out.
The fire tinder quickly ignited the burning cloth on the arrowhead, ready to be launched towards the Qin army camp.
However, just as the Xiongnu cavalry raised their bows and arrows...
In the quiet Qin army camp, dozens of red flames shot into the sky at great speed, leaving trails of fire.
"What is that?" Luan Diyun's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose.
Before she could react...
The flares soared into the sky, instantly illuminating the sky!
Dozens of military-grade flares burned simultaneously at an altitude of several hundred meters.
In that instant, the snow-covered plain, spanning several miles, was illuminated as bright as day!
The snow on the ground reflected a blinding, terrifying light.
Luan Diyun was immediately startled.
"Eternal Heaven! Dawn has broken!"
"My eyes! I can't see!"
"This is Qin people's sorcery! The sun has fallen!"
The Xiongnu soldiers were immediately alarmed.
Under the bright light, 30,000 Xiongnu light cavalry stood in the snow, exposed to the Qin army's fire without any cover.
Inside the camp.
Meng Tian stared in shock at the dozens of pale white orbs of light slowly drifting down from the sky, his mouth agape.
But he was, after all, a battle-hardened commander, and reacted instantly, drawing his longsword and roaring.
"Release the arrows!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The 20,000 Qin crossbowmen, who had been waiting in ambush, pulled the triggers.
