Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15468 Ambush
"Hmm?" Shi Jie stared at the red dots, momentarily stunned. He then glanced at the statistics on the radar and noticed the number was one thousand. He was taken aback. One thousand people? If they were scouts, wasn't that too many? If not scouts, then what were these one thousand people doing? The previous one hundred seemed like scouts, but these one thousand didn't seem to be scouts. Moreover, the distance between these one thousand and the previous one hundred was very strange. It seemed like they were a group. The first one hundred were the real scouts, while the latter one thousand seemed to be the vanguard. But wasn't the vanguard's number too small?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately understood what these thousand people were there for. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Dig down immediately. We must dig out a huge space as soon as possible so that all of our team can get here. Hurry."

Although his men didn't know what he was going to do, they immediately responded and began digging with their magic. If it was just about creating a space, it would be very simple. With their current strength, creating a large underground space would be very easy. Meanwhile, Shi Jie immediately sent a letter to Gu Wuzheng, reporting the situation to him and asking Gu Wuzheng to bring his men over immediately. This time, they might be able to catch a big fish.

Meanwhile, Gu Wuzheng also received Shi Jie's letter. He glanced at it and his eyes lit up. He immediately stood up and said, "Someone, notify all the captains to come to the meeting." Someone immediately went to notify them, and soon the captains arrived. After they arrived, Gu Wuzheng sent them Shi Jie's letter and said, "Take a look."

Although they didn't understand, the group immediately read the letter. After reading its contents, they were all stunned. Then one of them spoke up, "Captain, is Shi Jie's prediction true? If it's not, then if we all go there, we'll be disappointed." The other captains all nodded, sharing the same thought.

The contents of Shi Jie's letter were actually quite simple. Shi Jie said that he had discovered a group of scouts, and behind the scouts was a group of a thousand men. He suspected that this group of a thousand men was the vanguard of the enemy army, and that the enemy army might be behind them. If they could ambush the enemy army in advance, they would definitely achieve great results. He asked Gu Wuzheng to take everyone to his location to ambush the enemy. Of course, these were just his speculations, and they might not find anything. This was what Ji Lei and the other captains were worried about.

Gu Wuzheng, however, had a different idea. He said, "Go, we must go! Even if we come up empty-handed, it's better than not going at all. If Shi Jie's prediction is true, then if we don't go, we'll miss a great opportunity. So we have to go. Immediately send the coordinates Shi Jie sent us to our men and have everyone go there right away. Shi Jie and his men should have almost finished setting up the base by now. Tell them to hurry up and not miss the opportunity." The captains all responded and immediately went to make the arrangements. Gu Wuzheng, on the other hand, moved and appeared in Shi Jie's temporary base in the next moment. However, this temporary base had now become extremely large, enough to hold 100,000 people. But Shi Jie's men were still expanding this underground base. This underground base was the strangest of all. There was nothing there, just a huge space prepared for the army.

Shi Jie also sensed someone appear beside him. He turned his head and saw that it was Gu Wuzheng. He immediately saluted Gu Wuzheng and said, "Greetings, Captain." Shi Jie did not expect that Gu Wuzheng would arrive so quickly.

Gu Wuzheng nodded, then turned his gaze to the projection. After glancing at the situation on the projection, Gu Wuzheng said, "These people are the vanguard of the enemy's vanguard that you mentioned?"

Shi Jie nodded and said, "Yes, Captain. Look at the situation here. The enemy first sent out a scout team of only one hundred men. Just as that scout team disappeared from the radar, this new team appeared immediately, only one thousand men. This looks like an army, because both sides are almost entirely within each other's radar range. If they were enemies, they would have spotted each other long ago and started fighting. But they haven't; instead, they seem to be coordinating their actions. That's why I'm speculating. We can wait and see if another large army appears after this one thousand men. If it does, then it proves..." "My guess was right." As soon as he finished speaking, countless red dots appeared on the radar projection. Soon, all the red dots were on the radar screen. Shi Jie glanced at the count on the projection; there were at least eight thousand red dots. Upon seeing this, Gu Wuzheng immediately said, "You guessed right, it's indeed a group. Their vanguard should number ten thousand, which means their main force must only be around eighty thousand. Because they also have a rear guard, and if they also have left and right wings, their main force will be even smaller. Good, excellent! This is a great job!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless people appeared in this space. These were all members of the team who had been teleported over. As soon as they appeared, they saw Shi Jie and Gu Wuzheng. They immediately saluted Gu Wuzheng, who nodded to them. Then his gaze fell on the projection again. Soon, everyone had arrived, including Ji Lei and the others. Gu Wuzheng directly called them all to the projection. At this time, the eight thousand vanguard troops they had guessed had all entered the radar projection and were moving forward. However, Gu Wuzheng and the others' gazes fell behind the radar projection. He believed that there must be another thousand-man team, which was also part of the vanguard troops.

Just as he expected, another thousand-man squad appeared soon. Seeing this, Gu Wuzheng was completely relieved. He said, "Everyone, prepare for battle. After their vanguard passes, their main force will follow. When their main force reaches above us, on my command, begin attacking them. First, use energy weapons. Charge and advance simultaneously. Maintain our formation. After breaking through their formation, don't try to surround and kill them; it's impossible. Once you break through their formation, we'll rush straight into the sky. When there are no energy fluctuations around us..." "We'll teleport directly back to base. We'll only launch one attack, and regardless of the outcome, we'll retreat immediately. Our goal isn't to kill them all, but to reduce their numbers. So we'll only attack once. If the enemy reacts quickly, they might retreat after our first attack. If they don't retreat and stay to fight, our second attack will result in far greater casualties than the first. I don't want too many people to die. After all, sacrificing one person means killing ten to make up for the loss. So, from any perspective, ensuring the lives of our team members is the most worthwhile thing to do."

Everyone responded, and they began to form ranks. They quickly established their battle formation, ready for combat. At this moment, more red dots appeared on the projection screen, numbering over 70,000, almost 80,000. Seeing this, Gu Wuzheng was completely relieved. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, get ready and await my command!" Everyone responded, and Gu Wuzheng and Shi Jie returned to their ranks. The battle formation was now complete. Gu Wuzheng kept his eyes on the radar, and after a while, when the red dots finally appeared above their heads, he immediately shouted, "Attack!"

As he spoke, countless yellow beams of light struck the soil above them, scattering the soil and sand to the sides and disappearing in an instant. Then, countless energy projectiles shot into the sky, striking directly beneath the enemy army. Caught completely off guard, the enemy had no idea of ​​an ambush and suffered heavy casualties. Their army then charged, breaking through the enemy lines. They didn't stop, continuing their ascent, quickly splitting the enemy army in two. With the enemy formation cleaved in two, their army soared into the sky, continuing its ascent. The attacked group below reacted, not fleeing, but regrouping for battle. Their vanguard and rearguard charged towards the center, ready to support it.

Gu Wuzheng noticed this situation and immediately shouted, "Fly upwards!" Everyone understood his meaning and flew forward. Then, they all disappeared, having used the teleportation array to leave.

Their actions surprised their enemies. They never expected them to do such a thing—to simply pull and run, to shoot and then retreat. It was truly shameless. However, their captain could only be angry; there was nothing else he could do. Afterward, they could only regroup and tally up their losses.

Upon hearing this loss report, the captain was heartbroken and almost cried. They had lost nearly 20,000 men this time, and almost a fifth of them had to withdraw from the training. How could they not be heartbroken? But there was nothing they could do. Gu Wuzheng and his men had chosen the perfect moment, giving them no time to react. They assumed that several groups of people had already gone ahead, and even if there were enemies lying in ambush, they would probably attack those ahead directly. Or they thought that even if there were enemies, those ahead would have noticed them by now. Because of this, they were unprepared, which led to their capture. This was truly their fault, and no one else could be blamed.
